And he answered: Here I am.\n2 And his father said to him: Thou seest that I am old, and know not the day of my death.\n3 Take thy arms, thy quiver, and bow, and go abroad: and when thou hast taken some thing by hunting,\n4 Make me savoury meat thereof, as thou knowest I like, and bring it, that I may eat: and my soul may bless thee before I die.\n5 And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfill his father's commandment,\n6 She said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, and saying to him:\n7 Bring me of thy hunting, and make me meats that I may eat, and bless thee in the sight of the Lord, before I die.\n8 Now, therefore, my son, follow my counsel:\n9 And go thy way to the flock, bring me two kids of the best, that I may make of them meat for thy father, such as he gladly eateth:\n10 Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.\n11 And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am smooth.\n12 If my father shall feel me, and perceive it, I fear lest he will think I would have mocked him, and I shall bring upon me a curse instead of a blessing.\n13 And his mother said to him: Upon me be this curse, my son: only hear thou my voice, and go, fetch me the things which I have said.\n14 He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such as she knew his father liked.\n15 And she put on him very good garments of Esau, which she had at home with her:\n16 And the little skins of the kids she put about his hands, and covered the bare of his neck.\n17 And she gave him the savoury meat, and delivered him bread that she had baked.\n18 Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou, my son?\n19 And Jacob said: I am Esau thy firstborn: I have done as thou didst command me: arise, sit, and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.\n20 And Isaac said to his son: How couldst thou find it so quickly, my son? He answered: It was the will of God, that what I sought came quickly in my way.\n21 And Isaac said: Come hither, that I may feel thee, my son, and may prove whether thou be my son Esau, or not.\n22 He came near to his father, and when he had felt him, Isaac said: The voice indeed is the voice of Jacob; but the hands are the hands of Esau.\n23 And he knew him not, because his hairy hands made him like to the elder. Then blessing him,\n24 He said: Art thou my son Esau? He answered: I am.\n25 Then he said: Bring me the meats of thy hunting, my son, that my soul may bless thee. And when they were brought, and he had eaten, he offered him wine also, which after he had drunk,\n26 He said to him: Come near me, and give me a kiss, my son.\n27 He came near, and kissed him. And immediately as he smelled the fragrant smell of his garments, blessing him, he said: Behold the smell of my son is as the smell of a plentiful field, which the Lord hath blessed.\n28 God give thee the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, abundance of corn and wine.\n29 And let peoples serve thee, and tribes worship thee: be thou lord of thy brethren, and let thy mother's children bow down before thee. Cursed be he that curseth thee: and let him that blesseth thee be filled with blessings.\n30 Isaac had scarce ended his words, when Jacob being now gone out abroad, Esau came,\n31 And brought in to his father meats made of what he had taken in hunting, saying: Arise, my father, and eat of thy son's venison; that thy soul may bless me.\n32 And Isaac said to him: Why! who art thou? He answered: I am thy firstborn son Esau.\n33 Isaac was struck with fear, and astonished exceedingly: and wondering beyond what can be believed, said Who is he then that even now brought me venison that he had taken, and I ate of all before thou camest? and I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed.\n34 Esau having heard his father's words, roared out with a great cry: and being in a great consternation, said: Bless me also, my father.\n35 And he said: Thy brother came deceitfully and got thy blessing.\n36 But he said again: Rightly is his name called Jacob; for he hath supplanted me lo this second time: my first birthright he took away before, and now this second time he hath stolen away my blessing. And again he said to his father: Hast thou not reserved me also a blessing?\n37 Isaac answered: I have appointed him thy lord, and have made all his brethren his servants: I have established him with corn and wine, and after this, what shall I do more for thee, my son?\n38 And Esau said to him: Hast thou only one blessing, father? I beseech thee bless me also. And when he wept with a loud cry,\n39 Isaac being moved, said to him: In the fat of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from above,\n40 Shall thy blessing be. Thou shalt live by the sword and shalt serve thy brother: and the time shall come, when thou shalt shake off and loose his yoke from thy neck.\n**41 Esau therefore always hated Jacob for the blessing wherewith his father had blessed him: and he said in his heart: The days will come of the mourning of my father, and I will kill my brother Jacob.**\n42 These things were told to Rebecca: and she sent and called Jacob her son, and said to him: Behold Esau thy brother threateneth to kill thee.\n43 Now therefore, my son, hear my voice: arise and flee to Laban my brother to Haran:\n44 And thou shalt dwell with him a few days, till the wrath of thy brother be assuaged,\n45 And his indignation cease, and he forget the things thou hast done to him: afterwards I will send, and bring thee from thence hither. Why shall I be deprived of both my sons in one day?\n46 And Rebecca said to Isaac: I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the stock of this land, I choose not to live.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Find and read Genesis chapter 31, verse 12", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Here's the passage from Genesis 31:12 in the Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"And he said: Lift up thy eyes, and see that all the males leaping upon the females, are of divers colours, spotted, and speckled.

Maccabees*, chapter *6*.\n\nHere's the full rundown of the chapter:\n*1 Maccabees Chapter 6*\n1 Now king Antiochus was going through the higher countries, and he heard that the city of Elymais in Persia was greatly renowned, and abounding in silver and gold.\n2 And that there was in it a temple, exceeding rich: and coverings of gold, and breastplates, and shields 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 which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls as before, and Bethsura also his city.\n8 And it came to pass when the king heard these 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 friends, and he made him regent over all his kingdom.\n15 And he gave him the crown, and his robe, and his ring, that he should go to Antiochus his son, and should bring him up for the kingdom.\n16 So king Antiochus died there in the year one hundred and forty-nine.\n17 And Lysias understood that the king was dead, and he set up Antiochus his son to reign, whom he brought up young: and he called his name Eupator.\n18 Now they that were in the castle, had shut up the Israelites round about the holy places: and they were continually seeking their hurt, and to strengthen the Gentiles.\n19 And Judas purposed to destroy them: and he called together all the people, to besiege them.\n20 And they came together, and besieged them in the year one hundred and fifty, and they made battering slings and engines.\n21 And some of the besieged got out: and some wicked men of Israel joined themselves unto them.\n22 And they went to the king, and said: How long dost thou delay to execute the judgment, and to revenge our brethren?\n23 We determined to serve thy father and to do according to his orders, and obey his edicts:\n24 And for this they of our nation are alienated from us, and have slain as many of us as they could find, and have spoiled our inheritances.\n25 Neither have they put forth their hand against us only, but also against all our borders.\n26 And behold they have approached this day to the castle of Jerusalem to take it, and they have fortified the stronghold of Bethsura:\n27 And unless thou speedily prevent them, they will do greater things than these, and thou shalt not be able to subdue them.\n28 Now when the king heard this, he was angry: and he called together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and them that were over the horsemen.\n29 There came also to him from other realms, and from the islands of the sea hired troops.\n30 And the number of his army was an hundred thousand footmen, and twenty thousand horsemen, and thirty-two elephants, trained to battle.\n31 And they went through Idumea, and approached to Bethsura, and fought many days, and they made engines: but they sallied forth and burnt them with fire, and fought manfully.\n32 And Judas departed from the castle, and removed the camp to Bethzacharam, over against the king's camp.\n33 And the king rose before it was light, and made his troops march on fiercely towards the way of Bethzacharam: and the armies made themselves ready for the battle, and they sounded the trumpets:\n34 And they shewed the elephants the blood of grapes, and mulberries to provoke them to fight.\n35 And they distributed the beasts by the legions: and there stood by every elephant a thousand men in coats of mail, and with helmets of brass on their heads: and five hundred horsemen set in order were chosen for every beast.\n36 These before the time wheresoever the beast was, the were there: and withersoever it went, they went, and they departed not from it.\n37 And upon the beast, there were 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.\n49 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,\n**56 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": "Read me 1 Samuel 20:25", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Old Testament, 1 Samuel chapter 20,

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.\n17 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?

And no one durst withstand them, for the fear of their power had gone through every people.\n3 And the judges of the provinces, and the governors, and lieutenants, and every one in dignity, that presided over every place and work, extolled the Jews for fear of Mardochai:\n4 For they knew him to be prince of the palace, and to have great power: and the fame of his name increased daily, and was spread abroad through all men's mouths.\n5 So the Jews made a great slaughter of their enemies, and killed them, repaying according to what they had prepared to do to them:\n6 Insomuch that even in Susan they killed five hundred men, besides the ten sons of Aman the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews: whose names are these:\n7 Pharsandatha, and Delphon, and Esphatha,\n8 And Phoratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,\n9 And Phermesta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Jezatha.\n10 And when they had slain them, they would not touch the spoils of their goods.\n11 And presently the number of them that were killed in Susan was brought to the king.\n12 And he said to the queen: The Jews have killed five hundred men in the city of Susan, besides the ten sons of Aman: how many dost thou think they have slain in all the provinces? What askest thou more, and what wilt thou have me to command to be done?\n13 And she answered: If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews, to do to morrow in Susan as they have done to day, and that the ten sons of Aman may be hanged upon gibbets.\n14 And the king commanded that it should be so done. And forthwith the edict was hung up in Susan, and the ten sons of Aman were hanged.\n15 And on the fourteenth day of the month Adar the Jews gathered themselves together, and they killed in Susan three hundred men: but they took not their substance.\n16 Moreover through all the provinces which were subject to the king's dominion the Jews stood for their lives, and slew their enemies and persecutors: insomuch that the number of them that were Billed amounted to seventy-five thousand, and no man took any of their goods.\n17 Now the thirteenth day of the month Adar was the first day with them all of the slaughter, and on the fourteenth day they left off. Which they ordained to be kept holy day, so that all times hereafter they should celebrate it with feasting, joy, and banquets.\n18 But they that were killing in the city of Susan, were employed in the slaughter on the thirteenth and fourteenth day of the same month: and on the fifteenth day they rested. And therefore they appointed that day to be a holy day of feasting and gladness.\n**19 But those Jews that dwelt in towns not walled and in villages, appointed the fourteenth day of the month Adar for banquets and gladness, so as to rejoice on that day, and send one another portions of their banquets and meats.**\n20 And Mardochai wrote all these things, and sent them comprised in letters to the Jews that abode in all the king's provinces, both those that lay near and those afar off,\n21 That they should receive the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the month Adar for holy days, and always at the return of the year should celebrate them with solemn honour:\n22 Because on those days the Jews revenged themselves of their enemies, and their mourning and sorrow were turned into mirth and joy, and that these should be days of feasting and gladness, in which they should send one to another portions of meats; and should give gifts to the poor.\n23 And the Jews undertook to observe with solemnity all they had begun to do at that time, which Mardochai by letters had commanded to be done.\n24 For Aman, the son of Amadathi of the race of Agag, the enemy and adversary of the Jews, had devised evil against them, to kill them and destroy them: and had cast Phur, that is, the lot.\n25 And afterwards Esther went in to the king, beseeching him that his endeavours might be made void by the king's letters: and the evil that he had intended against the Jews, might return upon his own head. And so both he and his sons were hanged upon gibbets.\n26 And since that time these days are called Phurim, that is, of lots: because Phur, that is, the lot, was cast into the urn.

And he that went down first into the pond after the motion of the water, was made whole, of whatsoever infirmity he lay under.\n5 And there was a certain man there, that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity.\n6 Him when Jesus had seen lying, and knew that he had been now a long time, he saith to him: Wilt thou be made whole?\n7 The infirm man answered him: Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pond. For whilst I am coming, another goeth down before me.\n8 Jesus saith to him: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.\n9 And immediately the man was made whole: and he took up his bed, and walked. And it was the sabbath that day.\n10 The Jews therefore said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.\n11 He answered them: He that made me whole, he said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.\n12 They asked him therefore: Who is that man who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?\n13 But he who was healed, knew not who it was; for Jesus went aside from the multitude standing in the place.\n14 Afterwards, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and saith to him: Behold thou art made whole: sin no more, lest some worse thing happen to thee.\n15 The man went his way, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole.\n16 Therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.\n17 But Jesus answered them: My Father worketh until now; and I work.\n18 Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he did not only break the sabbath, but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God.\n19 Then Jesus answered, and said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you, the Son cannot do any thing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doth, these the Son also doth in like manner.\n**20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which himself doth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that you may wonder.**\n21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth life: so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.\n22 For neither doth the Father judge any man, but hath given all judgment to the Son.\n23 That all men may honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father, who hath sent him.\n24 Amen, amen I say unto you, that he who heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath life everlasting; and cometh not into judgment, but is passed from death to life.\n25 Amen, amen I say unto you, that the hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live.\n26 For as the Father hath life in himself, so he hath given the Son also to have life in himself:\n27 And he hath given him power to do judgment, because he is the Son of man.\n28 Wonder not at this; for the hour cometh, wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God.\n29 And they that have done good things, shall come forth unto the resurrection of life; but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.\n30 I cannot of myself do any thing.

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": "Can you provide the book, chapter, and verse for \"For the man was above forty years old, in whom that miraculous cure had been wrought.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The text \"For the man was above forty years old, in whom that miraculous cure had been wrought.\" is part of Acts chapter 4, verse 22 in the New Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book is the quote \"The children of Agar also, that search after the wisdom that is of the earth, the merchants of Merrha, and of Theman, and the tellers of fables, and searchers of prudence and understanding: but the way of wisdom they have not known, neither have they remembered her paths.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Old Testament, the book of Baruch, chapter 3, verse 23 states: \"The children of Agar also, that search after the wisdom that is of the earth, the merchants of Merrha, and of Theman, and the tellers of fables, and searchers of prudence and understanding: but the way of wisdom they have not known, neither have they remembered her paths.\".", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Verse 4 from chapter 8 in Esther?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From Esther chapter 8, verse 4, Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"But he, as the manner was, held out the golden sceptre with his hand, which was the sign of clemency: and she arose up and stood before him,\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the reference (book, chapter, verse) for \"And Abram made answer, and said to her: Behold thy handmaid is in thy own hand, use her as it pleaseth thee.

They went on their way, and when they came to mount Ephraim, they went into the house of Michas, and rested there:\n3 And knowing the voice of the young man the Levite, and lodging with him, they said to him: Who brought thee hither? what dost thou here? why wouldst thou come hither?\n4 He answered them: Michas hath done such and such things for me, and hath hired me to be his priest.\n5 Then they desired him to consult the Lord, that they might know whether their journey should be prosperous, and the thing should have effect.\n6 He answered them: Go in peace, the Lord looketh on your way, and the journey that you go.\n7 So the five men going on came to Lais: and they saw how the people dwelt therein without any fear, according to the custom of the Sidonians, secure and easy, having no man at all to oppose them, being very rich, and living separated, at a distance from Sidon and from all men.\n8 And they returned to their brethren in Saraa and Esthaol, who asked them what they had done? to whom they answered:\n9 Arise, and let us go up to them: for we have seen the land which is exceeding rich and fruitful: neglect not, lose no time: let us go and possess it, there will be no difficulty.\n10 We shall come to a people that is secure, into a spacious country, and the Lord will deliver the place to us, in which there is no want of any thing that groweth on the earth.\n11 There went therefore of the kindred of Dan, to wit, from Saraa and Esthaol, six hundred men, furnished with arms for war,\n12 And going up they lodged in Cariathiarim of Juda: which place from that time is called the camp of Dan, and is behind Cariathiarim.\n13 From thence they passed into mount Ephraim. And when they were come to the house of Michas,\n14 The five men, that before had been sent to view the land of Lais, said to the rest of their brethren: You know that in these houses there is an ephod, and theraphim, and a graven, and a molten god: see what you are pleased to do.\n15 And when they had turned a little aside, they went into the house of the young man the Levite, who was in the house of Michas: and they saluted him with words of peace.\n16 And the six hundred men stood before the door, appointed with their arms.\n17 But they that were gone into the house of the young man, went about to take away the graven god, and the ephod, and the theraphim, and the molten god, and the priest stood before the door, the six hundred valiant men waiting not far off.\n18 So they that were gone in took away the graven thing, the ephod, and the idols, and the molten god. And the priest said to them: What are you doing?\n19 And they said to him: Hold thy peace and put thy finger on thy mouth and come with us, that we may have thee for a father, and a priest. Whether is better for thee, to be a priest in the house of one man, or in a tribe and family in Israel?\n20 When he had heard this, he agreed to their words, and took the ephod, and the idols, and the graven god, and departed with them.\n21 And when they were going forward, and had put before them the children and the cattle and all that was valuable,\n22 And were now at a distance from the house of Michas, the men that dwelt in the houses of Michas gathering together followed them,\n23 And began to shout out after them.

Choose out a man of you, and let him come down and fight hand to hand.\n9 If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, we will be servants to you: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, you shall be servants, and shall serve us.\n10 And the Philistine said: I have defied the bands of Israel this day: Give me a man, and let him fight with me hand to hand.\n11 And Saul and all the Israelites hearing these words of the Philistine were dismayed, and greatly afraid.\n12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Juda before mentioned, whose name was Isai, who had eight sons, and was an old man in the days of Saul, and of great age among men.\n13 And his three eldest sons followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle, were Eliab the firstborn, and the second Abinadab, and the third Samma.\n14 But David was the youngest. So the three eldest having followed Saul,\n15 David went, and returned from Saul, to feed his father's flock at Bethlehem.\n16 Now the Philistine came out morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.\n17 And Isai said to David his son: Take for thy brethren an ephi of frumenty, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren.\n18 And carry these ten little cheeses to the tribune: and go see thy brethren, if they are well: and learn with whom they are placed.\n19 But Saul, and they, and all the children of Israel were in the valley of Terebinth fighting against the Philistines.\n20 David therefore arose in the morning, and gave the charge of the flock to the keeper: and went away loaded as Isai had commanded him. And he came to the place of Magala, and to the army, which was going out to fight, and shouted for the battle.\n21 For Israel had put themselves in array, and the Philistines who stood against them were prepared.\n22 And David leaving the vessels which he had brought, under the care of the keeper of the baggage, ran to the place of the battle and asked if all things went well with his brethren.\n23 And as he talked with them, that baseborn man whose name was Goliath, the Philistine, of Geth, shewed himself coming up from the camp of the Philistines: and he spoke according to the same words, and David heard them.\n24 And all the Israelites when they saw the man, fled from his face, fearing him exceedingly.\n25 And some one of Israel said: Have you seen this man that is come up, for he is come up to defy Israel. And the man that shall slay him, the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father's house free from tribute in Israel.\n26 And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying: What shall be given to the man that shall kill this Philistine, and shall take away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?\n27 And the people answered him the same words saying: These things shall be given to the man that shall slay him.\n28 Now when Eliab his eldest brother heard this, when he was speaking with others, he was angry with David, and said: Why earnest thou hither? and why didst thou leave those few sheep in the desert? I know thy pride, and the wickedness of thy heart: that thou art come down to see the battle.\n29 And David said: What have I done? is there not cause to speak?\n30 And he turned a little aside from him to another: and said the same word. And the people answered him as before.\n31 And the words which David spoke were heard, and were rehearsed before Saul.\n32 And when he was brought to him, he said to him: Let not any man's heart be dismayed in him: I thy servant will go, and will fight against the Philistine.\n33 And Saul said to David: Thou art not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him: for thou art but a boy, but he is a warrior from his youth.\n34 And David said to Saul: Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, or a bear, and took a ram out of the midst of the flock:\n35 And I pursued after them, and struck them, and delivered it out of their mouth: and they rose up against me, and I caught them by the throat, and I strangled and killed them.\n36 For I thy servant have killed both a lion and a bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be also as one of them. I will go now, and take away the reproach of the people: for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, who hath dared to curse the army of the living God?\n37 And David said: The Lord who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David: Go, and the Lord be with thee.\n38 And Saul clothed David with his garments, and put a helmet of brass upon his head, and armed him with a coat of mail.\n39 And David having girded his sword upon his armour, began to try if he could walk in armour: for he was not accustomed to it. And David said to Saul: I cannot go thus, for I am not used to it. And he laid them off,\n40 And he took his staff, which he had always in his hands: and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them into the shepherd's scrip, which he had with him, and he took a sling in his hand, and went forth against the Philistine.\n41 And the Philistine came on, and drew nigh against David, and his armourbearer before him.\n42 And when the Philistine looked, and beheld David, he despised him. For he was a young man, ruddy, and of a comely countenance.\n43 And the Philistine said to David: Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with a staff? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.\n44 And he said to David: Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.\n45 And David said to the Philistine: Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which thou hast defied.\n46 This day, and the Lord will deliver thee into my hand, and I will slay thee, and take away thy head from thee: and I will give the carcasses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth: that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.\n47 And all this assembly shall know, that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for it is his battle, and he will deliver you into our hands.\n48 And when the Philistine arose and was coming, and drew nigh to meet David, David made haste, and ran to the fight to meet the Philistine.\n49 And he put his hand into his scrip, and took a stone, and cast it with the sling, and fetching it about struck the Philistine in the forehead: and the stone was fixed in his forehead, and he fell on his face upon the earth.\n50 And David prevailed over the Philistine, with a sling and a stone, and he struck, and slew the Philistine. And as David had no sword in his hand,\n51 He ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head. And the Philistines seeing that their champion was dead, fled away.\n52 And the men of Israel and Juda rising up shouted, and pursued after the Philistines till they came to the valley and to the gates of Accaron, and there fell many wounded of the Philistines in the way of Saraim, and as far as Geth, and as far as Accaron.\n53 And the children of Israel returning, after they had pursued the Philistines, fell upon their camp.\n54 And David taking the head of the Philistine brought it to Jerusalem: but his armour he put in his tent.\n**55 Now at the time that Saul saw David going out against the Philistines, he said to Abner the captain of the army: Of what family is this young man descended, Abner?

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.\n**38 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.\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's the scriptural address for \"I foretell thee this day that thou shalt perish, and shalt remain but a short time in the land, to which thou shalt pass over the Jordan, and shalt go in to possess it.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"I foretell thee this day that thou shalt perish, and shalt remain but a short time in the land, to which thou shalt pass over the Jordan, and shalt go in to possess it.\" appears in Deuteronomy, chapter 30, at verse 18 of the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book is the verse \"And they devoured and consumed the former,\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "It's from the book of *Genesis*, chapter *41*.\n\nHere's the chapter in full:\n*Genesis Chapter 41*\n1 After two years Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood by the river,\n2 Out of which came up seven kine, very beautiful and fat: and they fed in marshy places.\n3 Other seven also came up out of the river, ill favoured, and leanfleshed: and they fed on the very bank of the river, in green places:\n4 And they devoured them, whose bodies were very beautiful and well conditioned. So Pharao awoke.\n5 He slept again, and dreamed another dream: Seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk full and fair:\n6 Then seven other ears sprung up thin and blasted,\n7 And devoured all the beauty of the former. Pharao awaked after his rest:\n8 And when morning was come, being struck with fear, he sent to all the interpreters of Egypt, and to all the wise men: and they being called for, he told them his dream, and there was not any one that could interpret it.\n9 Then at length the chief butler remembering, said: I confess my sin:\n10 The king being angry with his servants, commanded me and the chief baker to be cast into the prison of the captain of the soldiers:\n11 Where in one night both of us dreamed a dream foreboding things to come.\n12 There was there a young man a Hebrew, servant to the same captain of the soldiers: to whom we told our dreams,\n13 And we heard what afterwards the event of the thing proved to be so. For I was restored to my office: and he was hanged upon a gibbet.\n14 Forthwith at the king's command, Joseph was brought out of the prison, and they shaved him, and changing his apparel, brought him in to him.\n15 And he said to him: I have dreamed dreams, and there is no one that can expound them: Now I have heard that thou art very wise at interpreting them.\n16 Joseph answered: Without me, God shall give Pharao a prosperous answer.\n17 So Pharao told what he had dreamed: Methought I stood upon the bank of the river,\n18 And seven kine came up out of the river exceeding beautiful and full of flesh: and they grazed on green places in a marshy pasture.\n19 And behold, there followed these, other seven kine, so very ill favoured and lean, that I never saw the like in the land of Egypt:\n**20 And they devoured and consumed the former,**\n21 And yet gave no mark of their being full: but were as lean and ill favoured as before. I awoke, and then fell asleep again,\n22 And dreamed a dream: Seven ears of corn grew upon one stalk, full and very fair.\n23 Other seven also thin and blasted, sprung of the stock:\n24 And they devoured the beauty of the former: I told this dream to the conjecturers, and there is no man that can expound it.\n25 Joseph answered: The king's dream is one: God hath shewn to Pharao what he is about to do.\n26 The seven beautiful kine, and the seven full ears, are seven years of plenty: and both contain the same meaning of the dream.\n27 And the seven lean and thin kine that came up after them, and the seven thin ears that were blasted with the burning wind, are seven years of famine to come:\n28 Which shall be fulfilled in this order:\n29 Behold, there shall come seven years of great plenty in the whole land of Egypt:\n30 After which shall follow other seven years of so great scarcity, that all the abundance before shall be forgotten: for the famine shall consume all the land,\n31 And the greatness of the scarcity shall destroy the greatness of the plenty.\n32 And for that thou didst see the second time a dream pertaining to the same thing: it is a token of the certainty, and that the word of God cometh to pass, and is fulfilled speedily.\n33 Now therefore let the king provide a wise and industrious man, and make him ruler over the land of Egypt:\n34 That he may appoint overseers over all the countries: and gather into barns the fifth part of the fruits, during the seven fruitful years,\n35 That shall now presently ensue: and let all the corn be laid up under Pharao's hands and be reserved in the cities.\n36 And let it be in readiness, against the famine of seven years to come, which shall oppress Egypt, and the land shall not be consumed with scarcity.\n37 The counsel pleased Pharao and all his servants.\n38 And he said to them: Can we find such another man, that is full of the spirit of God?\n39 He said therefore to Joseph: Seeing God hath shewn thee all that thou hast said, can I find one wiser and one like unto thee?\n40 Thou shalt be over my house, and at the commandment of thy mouth all the people shall obey: only in the kingly throne will I be above thee.\n41 And again Pharao said to Joseph: Behold, I have appointed thee over the whole land of Egypt.\n42 And he took his ring from his own hand, and gave it into his hand: and he put upon him a robe of silk, and put a chain of gold about his neck.\n43 And he made him go up into his second chariot, the crier proclaiming that all should bow their knee before him, and that they should know he was made governor over the whole land of Egypt.\n44 And the king said to Joseph: I am Pharao; without thy commandment no man shall move hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.\n45 And he turned his name, and called him in the Egyptian tongue, The saviour of the world. And he gave him to wife Aseneth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis. Then Joseph went out to the land of Egypt:\n46 (Now he was thirty years old when he stood before king Pharao) and he went round all the countries of Egypt.\n47 And the fruitfulness of the seven years came: and the corn being bound up into sheaves was gathered together into the barns of Egypt.\n48 And all the abundance of grain was laid up in every city.\n49 And there was so great abundance of wheat, that it was equal to the sand of the sea, and the plenty exceeded measure.\n50 And before the famine came, Joseph had two sons born: whom Aseneth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis bore unto him.\n51 And he called the name of the firstborn Manasses, saying: God hath made me to forget all my labours, and my father's house.\n52 And he named the second Ephraim, saying: God hath made me to grow in the land of my poverty.\n53 Now when the seven years of the plenty that had been in Egypt were past:\n54 The seven years of scarcity, which Joseph had foretold, began to come: and the famine prevailed in the whole world, but there was bread in all the land of Egypt.\n55 And when there also they began to be famished, the people cried to Pharao for food. And he said to them: Go to Joseph: and do all that he shall say to you.\n56 And the famine increased daily in all the land: and Joseph opened all the barns, and sold to the Egyptians: for the famine had oppressed them also.\n57 And all provinces came into Egypt, to buy food, and to seek some relief of their want.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Do you know the book and chapter where \"And the heart of fools shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of stammerers shall speak readily and plain.\" is found?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "That verse comes from *Isaiah*, chapter *32*.\n\nCheck out the whole chapter:\n*Isaiah Chapter 32*\n1 Behold a king shall reign in justice, and princes shall rule in judgment.\n2 And a man shall be as when one is hid from the wind, and hideth himself from a storm, as rivers of waters in drought, and the shadow of a rock that standeth out in a desert land.\n3 The eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken diligently.\n**4 And the heart of fools shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of stammerers shall speak readily and plain.**\n5 The fool shall no more be called prince: neither shall the deceitful be called great:\n6 For the fool will speak foolish things, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and speak to the Lord deceitfully, and to make empty the soul of the hungry, and take away drink from the thirsty.\n7 The vessels of the deceitful are most wicked: for he hath framed devices to destroy the meek, with lying words, when the poor man speaketh judgment.\n8 But the prince will devise such things as are worthy of a prince, and he shall stand above the rulers.\n9 Rise up, ye rich women, and hear my voice: ye confident daughters, give ear to my speech.\n10 For after days and a year, you that are confident shall be troubled: for the vintage is at an end, the gathering shall come no more.\n11 Be astonished, ye rich women, be troubled, ye confident ones: strip yen, and be confounded, gird your loins.\n12 Mourn for your breasts, for the delightful country, for the fruitful vineyard.\n13 Upon the land of my people shall thorns and briers come up: how much more upon all the houses of joy, of the city that rejoiced?\n14 For the house is forsaken, the multitude of the city is left, darkness and obscurity are come upon its dens for ever.

But he said: Weep not; the maid is not dead, but sleepeth.\n53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.\n54 But he taking her by the hand, cried out, saying: Maid, arise.\n55 And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately.

If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me?\n47 He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.\n48 The Jews therefore answered, and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?\n49 Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father, and you have dishonoured me.\n50 But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.\n51 Amen, amen I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever.\n52 The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil.

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.\n20 So mightily grew the word of God, and was confirmed.\n**21 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.

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.\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.\n**36 Or did the word of God come out from you?

And the Lord had shut up her womb.\n6 Her rival also afflicted her, and troubled her exceedingly, insomuch that she upbraided her, that the Lord had shut up her womb:\n7 And thus she did every year, when the time returned that they went up to the temple of the Lord: and thus she provoked her: but Anna wept, and did not eat.\n8 Then Elcana her husband said to her: Anna, why weepest thou? and why dost thou not eat? And why dost thou afflict thy heart? Am not I better to thee than ten children?\n9 So Anna arose after she had eaten and drunk in Silo: And Heli the priest sitting upon a stool, before the door of the temple of the Lord:\n10 As Anna had her heart full of grief, she prayed to the Lord, shedding many tears,\n11 And she made a vow, saying: O Lord, of hosts, if thou wilt look down on the affliction of thy servant, and wilt be mindful of me, and not forget thy handmaid, and wilt give to thy servant a man child: I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.\n12 And it came to pass, as she multiplied prayers before the Lord, that Heli observed her mouth.\n13 Now Anna spoke in her heart, and only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard at all. Heli therefore thought her to be drunk,\n14 And said to her: How long wilt thou, be drunk? digest a little the wine, of which thou hast taken too much.\n15 Anna answering, said: Not so, my lord: for I am an exceeding unhappy woman, and have drunk neither wine nor any strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the Lord.\n16 Count not thy handmaid for one of the daughters of Belial: for out of the abundance of my sorrow and grief have I spoken till now.\n17 Then Heli said to her: Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition, which thou hast asked of him.\n18 And she said: Would to God thy handmaid may find grace in thy eyes. So the woman went on her way, and ate, and her countenance was no more changed.\n19 And they rose in the morning, and worshipped before the Lord: and they returned, and came into their house at Ramatha. And Elcana knew Anna his wife: and the Lord remembered her.\n20 And it came to pass when the time was come about, Anna conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel: because she had asked him of the Lord.\n21 And Elcana her husband went up, and all his house, to offer to the Lord the solemn sacrifice, and his vow.\n22 But Anna went not up: for she said to her husband: I will not go till the child be weaned, and till I may carry him, that he may appear before the Lord, and may abide always there.\n23 And Elcana her husband said to her: Do what seemeth good to thee, and stay till thou wean him: and I pray that the Lord may fulfill his word. So the woman stayed at home, and gave her son suck, till she weaned him.\n24 And after she had weaned him, she carried him with her, with three calves, and three bushels of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she brought him to the house of the Lord in Silo. Now the child was as yet very young:\n**25 And they immolated a calf, and offered the child to Heli.**\n26 And Anna said: I beseech thee, my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord: I am that woman who stood before thee here praying to the Lord.\n27 For this child did I pray, and the Lord hath granted me my petition, which I asked of him.\n28 Therefore I also have lent him to the Lord all the days of his life, he shall be lent to the Lord.

And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner.\n38 Now it came to pass as they went, that he entered into a certain town: and a certain woman named Martha, received him into her house.\n39 And she had a sister called Mary, who sitting also at the Lord's feet, heard his word.\n40 But Martha was busy about much serving. Who stood and said: Lord, hast thou no care that my sister hath left me alone to serve? speak to her therefore, that she help me.\n41 And the Lord answering, said to her: Martha, Martha, thou art careful, and art troubled about many things:\n42 But one thing is necessary.

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. Therefore fear them not.\n23 The gold also which they have, is for shew, but except a man wipe off the rust, they will not shine: for neither when they were molten, did they feel it.\n24 Men buy them at a high price, whereas there is no breath in them.\n25 And having not the use of feet they are carried upon shoulders, declaring to men how vile they are. Be they confounded also that worship them.\n26 Therefore if they fall to the ground, they rise not up again of themselves, nor if a man set them upright, will they stand by themselves, but their gifts shall be set before them, as to the dead.\n27 The things that are sacrificed to them, their priests sell and abuse: in like manner also their wives take part of them, but give nothing of it either to the sick, or to the poor.\n28 The childbearing and menstruous women touch their sacrifices: knowing therefore by these things that they are not gods, fear them not.\n29 For how can they be called gods? because women set offerings before the gods of silver, and of gold, and of wood:\n30 And priests sit in their temples, having their garments rent, and their heads and beards shaven, and nothing upon their heads.\n31 And they roar and cry before their gods, as men do at the feast when one is dead.\n32 The priests take away their garments, and clothe their wives and their children.\n33 And whether it be evil that one doth unto them, or good, they are not able to recompense it: neither can they set up a king nor put him down:\n34 In like manner they can neither give riches, nor requite evil. If a man make a vow to them, and perform it not, they cannot require it.\n35 They cannot deliver a man from death nor save the weak from the mighty.\n36 They cannot restore the blind man to his sight: nor deliver a man from distress.\n37 They shall not pity the widow, nor do good to the fatherless.\n38 Their gods, of wood, and of stone, and of gold, and of silver, are like the stones that are hewn out of the mountains: and they that worship them shall be confounded.\n39 How then is it to be supposed, or to be said, that they are gods?\n40 Even the Chaldeans themselves dishonour them: who when they hear of one dumb that cannot speak, they present him to Bel, entreating him, that he may speak,\n41 As though they could be sensible that have no motion themselves: and they, when they shall perceive this, will leave them: for their gods themselves have no sense.\n42 The women also with cords about them, sit in the ways, burning olive stones.\n43 And when any one of them, drawn away by some passenger, lieth with him, she upbraideth her neighbour, that she was not thought as worthy as herself, nor her cord broken.\n44 But all things that are done about them, are false: how is it then to be thought, or to be said, that they are gods?\n45 And they are made by workmen, and by goldsmiths. They shall be nothing else but what the priests will have them to be.\n46 For the artificers themselves that make them, are of no long continuance.

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.

And seeing that Saul was come after him into the wilderness,\n4 He sent spies, and learned that he was most certainly come thither.\n5 And David arose secretly, and came to the place where Saul was: and when he had beheld the place, wherein Saul slept, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army, and Saul sleeping in a tent, and the rest of the multitude round about him,\n6 David spoke to Achimelech the Hethite, and Abisai the son of Sarvia the brother of Joab, saying: Who will go down with me to Saul into the camp?

Why wentest thou not with thy friend?\n18 And Chusai answered Absalom: Nay: for I will be his, whom the Lord hath chosen, and all this people, and all Israel, and with him will I abide.\n19 Besides this, whom shall I serve? is it not the king's son? as I have served thy father, so will I serve thee also.\n20 And Absalom said to Achitophel: Consult what we are to do.\n21 And Achitophel said to Absalom: Go in to the concubines of thy father, whom he hath left to keep the house: that when all Israel shall hear that thou hast disgraced thy father, their hands may be strengthened with thee.\n22 So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and he went in to his father's concubines before all Israel.\n23 Now the counsel of Achitophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man should consult God: so was all the counsel of Achitophel, both when he was with David, and when he was with Absalom.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Could you pinpoint the book and chapter of \"As he spoke these things, and made his answer, Festus said with a loud voice: Paul, thou art beside thyself: much learning doth make thee mad.\" for me?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you're asking about is in *Acts*, chapter *26*.\n\nHere's the complete chapter text:\n*Acts Chapter 26*\n1 Then Agrippa said to Paul: Thou art permitted to speak for thyself.

For which hope, O king, I am accused by the Jews.\n8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible, that God should raise the dead?\n9 And I indeed did formerly think, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.\n10 Which also I did at Jerusalem, and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority of the chief priests: and when they were put to death, I brought the sentence.\n11 And oftentimes punishing them, in every synagogue, I compelled them to blaspheme: and being yet more mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities.\n12 Whereupon when I was going to Damascus with authority and permission of the chief priest,\n13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me, and them that were in company with me.\n14 And when we were all fallen down on the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.\n15 And I said: Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord answered: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.\n16 But rise up, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared to thee, that I may make thee a minister, and a witness of those things which thou hast seen, and of those things wherein I will appear to thee,\n17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the nations, unto which now I send thee:\n18 To open their eyes, that they may be converted from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and a lot among the saints, by the faith that is in me.\n19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not incredulous to the heavenly vision:\n20 But to them first that are at Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and unto all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles did I preach, that they should do penance, and turn to God, doing works worthy of penance.\n21 For this cause the Jews, when I was in the temple, having apprehended me, went about to kill me.\n22 But being aided by the help of God, I stand unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other thing than those which the prophets, and Moses did say should come to pass:\n23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light to the people, and to the Gentiles.\n**24 As he spoke these things, and made his answer, Festus said with a loud voice: Paul, thou art beside thyself: much learning doth make thee mad.**\n25 And Paul said: I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but I speak words of truth and soberness.\n26 For the king knoweth of these things, to whom also I speak with confidence.

And he that went down first into the pond after the motion of the water, was made whole, of whatsoever infirmity he lay under.\n5 And there was a certain man there, that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity.\n**6 Him when Jesus had seen lying, and knew that he had been now a long time, he saith to him: Wilt thou be made whole?**\n7 The infirm man answered him: Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pond. For whilst I am coming, another goeth down before me.\n8 Jesus saith to him: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.\n9 And immediately the man was made whole: and he took up his bed, and walked. And it was the sabbath that day.\n10 The Jews therefore said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.\n11 He answered them: He that made me whole, he said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.\n12 They asked him therefore: Who is that man who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?\n13 But he who was healed, knew not who it was; for Jesus went aside from the multitude standing in the place.\n14 Afterwards, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and saith to him: Behold thou art made whole: sin no more, lest some worse thing happen to thee.\n15 The man went his way, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole.\n16 Therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.\n17 But Jesus answered them: My Father worketh until now; and I work.\n18 Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he did not only break the sabbath, but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God.\n19 Then Jesus answered, and said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you, the Son cannot do any thing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doth, these the Son also doth in like manner.\n20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which himself doth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that you may wonder.\n21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth life: so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.\n22 For neither doth the Father judge any man, but hath given all judgment to the Son.\n23 That all men may honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father, who hath sent him.\n24 Amen, amen I say unto you, that he who heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath life everlasting; and cometh not into judgment, but is passed from death to life.\n25 Amen, amen I say unto you, that the hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live.\n26 For as the Father hath life in himself, so he hath given the Son also to have life in himself:\n27 And he hath given him power to do judgment, because he is the Son of man.\n28 Wonder not at this; for the hour cometh, wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God.\n29 And they that have done good things, shall come forth unto the resurrection of life; but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.\n30 I cannot of myself do any thing.

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.\n**8 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? The multitude answered, and said: Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to kill thee?\n21 Jesus answered, and said to them: One work I have done; and you all wonder:\n22 Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.\n23 If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you angry at me because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?\n24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge just judgment.\n25 Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to kill?\n26 And behold, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth, that this is the Christ?\n27 But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.\n28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching, and saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am: and I am not come of myself; but he that sent me, is true, whom you know not.\n29 I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.\n30 They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.\n31 But of the people many believed in him, and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles, than these which this man doth?\n32 The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.\n33 Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me.\n34 You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.\n35 The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?\n36 What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, you cannot come?\n37 And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink.\n38 He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith, Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.\n39 Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive, who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.\n40 Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.\n41 Others said: This is the Christ.

I have done judgment and justice: give me not up to them that slander me.\n122 Uphold thy servant unto good: let not the proud calumniate me.\n123 My eyes have fainted after thy salvation: and for the word of thy justice.\n124 Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy: and teach me thy justifications.\n125 I am thy servant: give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies.\n126 It is time, O Lord, to do: they have dissipated thy law.\n127 Therefore have I loved thy commandments above gold and the topaz.\n128 Therefore was I directed to all thy commandments: I have hated all wicked ways.\n129 PHE. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore my soul hath sought them.\n130 The declaration of thy words giveth light: and giveth understanding to little ones.\n131 I opened my mouth and panted: because I longed for thy commandments.\n132 Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me, according to the judgment of them that love thy name.\n133 Direct my steps according to thy word: and let no iniquity have dominion over me.\n134 Redeem me from the calumnies of men: that I may keep thy commandments.\n135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: and teach me thy justifications.\n136 My eyes have sent forth springs of water: because they have not kept thy law.\n137 SADE. Thou art just, O Lord: and thy judgment is right.\n138 Thou hast commanded justice thy testimonies: and thy truth exceedingly.\n139 My zeal hath made me pine away: because my enemies forgot thy words.\n140 Thy word is exceedingly refined: and thy servant hath loved it.\n141 I am very young and despised; but I forgot not thy justifications.\n142 Thy justice is justice for ever: and thy law is the truth.\n143 Trouble and anguish have found me: thy commandments are my meditation.\n144 Thy testimonies are justice for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live.\n145 COPH.

But they leading him by the hands, brought him to Damascus.\n9 And he was there three days, without sight, and he did neither eat nor drink.\n10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. 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 laying his hands upon him, he said: Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus hath sent me, he that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest; that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.\n18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and rising up, he was baptized.\n19 And when he had taken meat, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples that were at Damascus, for some days.\n20 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.\n21 And all that heard him, were astonished, and said: Is not this he who persecuted in Jerusalem those that called upon this name: and came hither for that intent, that he might carry them bound to the chief priests?\n22 But Saul increased much more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, affirming that this is the Christ.\n23 And when many days were passed, the Jews consulted together to kill him.\n24 But their laying in wait was made known to Saul. 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.

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.\n26 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.

they that were with him, went privately into the towns: and calling together their kinsmen and friends, and taking unto them such as continued in the Jews' religion, they assembled six thousand men.\n2 And they called upon the Lord that he would look upon his people that was trodden down by all, and would have pity on the temple, that was defiled by the wicked:\n3 That he would have pity also upon the city that was destroyed, that was ready to be made even with the ground, and would hear the voice of the blood that cried to him:\n4 That he would remember also the most unjust deaths of innocent children, and the blasphemies offered to his name, and would shew his indignation on this occasion.\n5 Now when Machabeus had gathered a multitude, he could not be withstood by the heathens: for the wrath of the Lord was turned into mercy.\n6 So coming unawares upon the towns and cities, he set them on fire, and taking possession of the most commodious places, he made no small slaughter of the enemies:\n7 And especially in the nights he went upon these expeditions, and the fame of his valour was spread abroad everywhere.\n8 Then Philip, seeing that the man gained ground by little and little, and that things for the most part succeeded prosperously with him, wrote to Ptolemee the governor of Celesyria and Phenicia, to send aid to the king's affairs.\n9 And he with all speed sent Nicanor the son of Patroclus, one of his special friends, giving him no fewer than twenty thousand armed men of different nations, to root out the whole race of the Jews, joining also with him Gorgias, a good soldier, and of great experience in matters of war.\n10 And Nicanor purposed to raise for the king the tribute of two thousand talents, that was to be given to the Romans, by making so much money of the captive Jews:\n11 Wherefore he sent immediately to the cities upon the sea coast, to invite men together to buy up the Jewish slaves, promising that they should have ninety slaves for one talent, not reflecting on the vengeance, which was to follow him from the Almighty.\n12 Now when Judas found that Nicanor was coming, he imparted to the Jews that were with him, that the enemy was at hand.\n13 And some of them being afraid, and distrusting the justice of God, fled away:\n14 Others sold all that they had left, and withal besought the Lord, that he would deliver them from the wicked Nicanor, who had sold them before he came near them:\n15 And if not for their sakes, yet for the covenant that he had made with their fathers, and for the sake of his holy and glorious name that was invoked upon them.\n16 But Machabeus calling together seven thousand that were with him, exhorted them not to be reconciled to the enemies, nor to fear the multitude of the enemies who came wrongfully against them, but to fight manfully:\n17 Setting before their eyes the injury they had unjustly done the holy place, and also the injury they had done to the city, which had been shamefully abused, besides their destroying the ordinances of the fathers.\n18 For, said he, they trust in their weapons, and in their boldness: but we trust in the Almighty Lord, who at a beck can utterly destroy both them that come against us, and the whole world.\n**19 Moreover he put them in mind also of the helps their fathers had received from God: and how under Sennacherib a hundred and eighty-five thousand had been destroyed.**\n20 And of the battle that they had fought against the Galatians in Babylonia, how they, being in all but six thousand, when it came to the point, and the Macedonians their companions were a stand, slew a hundred and twenty thousand, because of the help they had from heaven, and for this they received many favours.\n21 With these words they were greatly encouraged, and disposed even to die for the laws and their country.\n22 So he appointed his brethren captains over each division of his army, Simon, and Joseph, and Jonathan, giving to each one fifteen hundred men.\n23 And after the holy Book had been read to them by Esdras, and he had given them for a watchword, The help of God: himself leading the first band, he joined battle with Nicanor:\n24 And the Almighty being their helper, they slew above nine thousand men: and having wounded and disabled the greater part of Nicanor's army, they obliged them to fly.\n25 And they took the money of them that came to buy them, and they pursued them on every side.\n26 But they came back for want of time: for it was the day before the sabbath: and therefore they did not continue the pursuit.\n27 But when they had gathered together their arms and their spoils, they kept the sabbath: blessing the Lord who had delivered them that day, distilling the beginning of mercy upon them.\n28 Then after the sabbath they divided the spoils to the feeble and the orphans, and the widows: and the rest they took for themselves and their servants.\n29 When this was done, and they had all made a common supplication, they besought the merciful Lord to be reconciled to his servants unto the end.\n30 Moreover they slew above twenty thousand of them that were with Timotheus and Bacchides who fought them, and they made themselves masters of the high strong holds: and they divided amongst them many spoils, giving equal portions to the feeble, the fatherless and the widows, yea and the aged also.\n31 And when they had carefully gathered together their arms, they laid them all up in convenient places, and the residue of their spoils they carried to Jerusalem:\n32 They slew also Philarches who was with Timotheus, a wicked man, who had many ways afflicted the Jews.\n33 And when they kept the feast of the victory at Jerusalem, they burnt Callisthenes, that had set fire to the holy gates, who had taken refuge in a certain house, rendering to him a worthy reward for his impieties:\n34 But as for that most wicked man Nicanor, who had brought a thousand merchants to the sale of the Jews,\n35 Being through the help of the Lord brought down by them, of whom he had made no account, laying; aside his garment of glory, fleeing through the midland country, he came alone to Antioch, being rendered very unhappy by the destruction of his army.\n36 And he that had promised to levy the tribute for the Romans by the means of the captives of Jerusalem, now professed that the Jews had God for their protector, and therefore they could not be hurt, because they followed the laws appointed by him.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where in the bible does it say \"And when he

And he put beams in the house round about on the outside, that they might not be fastened in the walls of the temple.\n7 And the house, when it was in building, was built of stones hewed and made ready: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house when it was in building.\n8 The door for the middle side was on the right hand of the house: and by winding stairs they went up to the middle room, and from the middle to the third.\n9 So he built the house, and finished it: and he covered the house with roofs of cedar.\n10 And he built a floor over all the house five cubits in height, and he covered the house with timber of cedar.\n11 And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying:\n**12 This house, which thou buildest, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments, walking in them, I will fulfill my word to thee which I spoke to David thy father.**\n13 And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.\n14 So Solomon built the house and finished it.\n15 And he built the walls of the house on the inside, with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the top of the walls, and to the roots, he covered it with boards of cedar on the inside: and he covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.\n16 And he built up twenty cubits with boards of cedar at the hinder part of the temple, from the floor to the top: and made the inner house of the oracle to be the holy of holies.\n17 And the temple itself before the doors of the oracle was forty cubits long.\n18 And all the house was covered within with cedar, having the turnings, and the joints thereof artfully wrought and carvings projecting out: all was covered with boards of cedar: and no stone could be seen in the wall at all.\n19 And he made the oracle in the midst of the house, in the inner part, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.\n20 Now the oracle was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered and overlaid it with most pure gold. And the altar also he covered with cedar.\n21 And the house before the oracle he overlaid with most pure gold, and fastened on the plates with nails of gold.\n22 And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold: the whole altar of the oracle he covered also with gold.\n23 And he made in the oracle two cherubims of olive tree, of ten cubits in height.\n24 One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub was five cubits: that is, in all ten cubits, from the extremity of one wing to the extremity of the other wing.\n25 The second cherub also was ten cubits: and the measure, and the work was the same in both the cherubims:\n26 That is to say, one cherub was ten cubits high, and in like manner the other cherub.\n27 And he set the cherubims in the midst of the inner temple: and the cherubims stretched forth their wings, and the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall: and the other wings in the midst of the temple touched one another.\n28 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.\n29 And all the walls of the temple round about he carved with divers figures and carvings: and he made in them cherubims and palm trees, and divers representations, as it were standing out, and coming forth from the wall.\n30 And the floor of the house he also overlaid with gold within and without.\n31 And in the entrance of the oracle he made little doors of olive tree, and posts of five corners,\n32 And two doors of olive tree: and he carved upon them figures of cherubims, and figures of palm trees, and carvings very much projecting: and he overlaid them with gold: and he covered both the cherubims and the palm trees, and the other things with gold.\n33 And he made in the entrance of the temple posts of olive tree foursquare:\n34 And two doors of fir tree, one of each side: and each door was double, and so opened with folding leaves.\n35 And he carved cherubims, and palm trees, and carved work standing very much out: and he overlaid all with golden plates in square work by rule.\n36 And he built the inner court with three rows of polished stones, and one row of beams of cedar.\n37 In the fourth year was the house of the Lord founded in the month Zio:\n38 And in the eleventh year in the month Bul (which is the eighth month) the house was finished in all the works thereof, and in all the appurtenances thereof: and he was seven years in building it.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What are the chapter and verse numbers for \"And Ezechias slept with his fathers, and they buried him above the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem celebrated his funeral: and Manasses his son reigned in his stead.\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The passage \"And Ezechias slept with his fathers, and they buried him above the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem celebrated his funeral: and Manasses his son reigned in his stead.\" comes from 2 Chronicles 32:33 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book is the verse \"Wherefore all men prayed that these prodigies might turn to good.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "That's from *2 Maccabees*, chapter *5*.\n\nWant the full chapter?

he presumed also to enter into the temple, the most holy in all the world, Menelaus, that traitor to the laws, and to his country, being his guide.\n16 And taking in his wicked hands the holy vessels, which were given by other kings and cities, for the ornament and the glory of the place, he unworthily handled and profaned them.\n17 Thus Antiochus going astray in mind, did not consider that God was angry for a while, because of the sins of the inhabitants of the city: and therefore this contempt had happened to the place:\n18 Otherwise had they not been involved in many sins, as Heliodorus, who was sent by king Seleucus to rob the treasury, so this man also, as soon as he had come, had been forthwith scourged, and put back from his presumption.\n19 But God did not choose the people for the place's sake, but the place for the people's sake.\n20 And therefore the place also itself was made partaker of the evils of the people: but afterward shall communicate in the good things thereof, and as it was forsaken in the wrath of almighty God, shall be exalted again with great glory, when the great Lord shall be reconciled.\n21 So when Antiochus had taken away out of the temple a thousand and eight hundred talents, he went back in all haste to Antioch, thinking through pride, that he might now make the land navigable, and the sea passable on foot: such was the haughtiness of his mind.\n22 He left also governors to afflict the people: at Jerusalem, Philip, a Phrygian by birth, but in manners more barbarous than he that set him there:\n23 And in Gazarim, Andronicus and Menelaus, who bore a more heavy hand upon the citizens than the rest.\n24 And whereas he was set against the Jews, he sent that hateful prince Apollonius with an army of two and twenty thousand men, commanding him to kill all that were of perfect age, and to sell the women and the younger sort.\n25 Who when he was come to Jerusalem, pretending peace, rested till the holy day of the sabbath: and then the Jews keeping holiday, he commanded his men to take arms.\n26 And he slew all that were come forth to see: and running through the city with armed men, he destroyed a very great multitude.\n27 But Judas Machabeus, who was the tenth, had withdrawn himself into a desert place, and there lived amongst wild beasts in the mountains with his company: and they continued feeding on herbs, that they might not be partakers of the pollution.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book is the quote \"And looking-glasses, and lawns, and headbands, and fine veils.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the book of Isaiah, chapter 3, verse 23 of the Old Testament, you'll find \"And looking-glasses, and lawns, and headbands, and fine veils.\".", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book should I look at for \"And the rich, in his being low;

of the word, and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass.\n24 For he beheld himself, and went his way, and presently forgot what manner of man he was.\n25

think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this man's religion is vain.\n27 Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: to visit the

And he sent: and all the ancients of Juda and Jerusalem were assembled to him.\n2 And the king went up to the temple of the Lord, and all the men of Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, the priests and the prophets, and all the people both little and great: and in the hearing of them all he read all the words of the book of the covenant, which was found in the house of the Lord.\n3 And the king stood upon the step: and made a covenant with the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies and his ceremonies, with all their heart, and with all their soul, and to perform the words of this covenant, which were written in that book: and the people agreed to the covenant.\n4 And the king commanded Helcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to cast out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that had been made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burnt them without Jerusalem in the valley of Cedron, and he carried the ashes of them to Bethel.\n5 And he destroyed the soothsayers, whom the kings of Juda had appointed to sacrifice in the high places in the cities of Juda, and round about Jerusalem: them also that burnt incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, and to all the host of heaven.\n6 And he caused the grove to be carried out from the house of the Lord without Jerusalem to the valley of Cedron, and he burnt it there, and reduced it to dust, and cast the dust upon the graves of the common people.\n7 He destroyed also the pavilions of the effeminate, which were in the house of the Lord, for which the women wove as it were little dwellings for the grove.\n8 And he gathered together all the priests out of the cities of Juda: and he defiled the high places, where the priests offered sacrifice, from Gabaa to Bersabee: and he broke down the altars of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Josue governor of tile city, which was on the left hand of the gate of the city.\n9 However the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem: but only ate of the unleavened bread among their brethren.\n10 And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom: that no man should consecrate there his son or his daughter through fire to Moloch.\n11 And he took away the horses which the kings of Juda had given to the sun, at the entering in of the temple of the Lord, near the chamber of Nathanmelech the eunuch, who was in Pharurim: and he burnt the chariots of the sun with fire.\n12 And the altars that were upon the top of the upper chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the temple of the Lord, the king broke down: and he ran from thence, and cast the ashes of them into the torrent Cedron.\n13 The high places also that were at Jerusalem on the right side of the Mount of Offence, O which Solomon king of Israel had built to Astaroth the idol of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the scandal of Moab, and to Melchom the abomination of the children of Ammon, the king defiled.\n14 And he broke in pieces the statues, and cut down the groves: and he filled their places with the bones of dead men.\n15 Moreover the altar also that was at Bethel, and the high place, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made: both the altar, and the high place he broke down and burnt, and reduced to powder, and burnt the grove.\n16 And as Josias turned himself, he saw there the sepulchres that were in the mount: and he sent and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burnt them upon the altar, and defiled it according to the word of the Lord, which the man of God spoke, who had foretold these things.\n17 And he said: What is that monument which I see? And the men of that city answered: It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Juda, and foretold these things which thou hast done upon the altar of Bethel.\n18 And he said: Let him alone, let no man move his bones. So his bones were left untouched with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.\n19 Moreover all the temples of the high places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord, Josias took away: and he did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.\n20 And he slew all the priests of the high places, that were there, upon the altars: and he burnt men's bones upon them: and returned to Jerusalem.\n21 And he commanded all the people, saying: Keep the phase to the Lord your God, according as it is written in the book of this covenant.\n22 Now there was no such a phase kept from the days of the judges, who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda,\n23 As was this phase that was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem, in the eighteenth year of king Josias.\n24 Moreover the diviners by spirits, and soothsayers, and the figures of idols, and the uncleannesses, and the abominations, that had been in the land of Juda, and Jerusalem, Josias took away: that he might perform the words of the law, that were written in the book which Helcias the priest had found in the temple of the Lord.\n25 There was no king before him like unto him, that returned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with ail his strength, according to all the law of Moses: neither after him did there arise any like him.\n26 But yet the Lord turned not away from the wrath of his great indignation, wherewith his anger was kindled against Juda: because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses had provoked him.\n27 And the Lord said: I will remove Juda also from before my face, as I have removed Israel: and I will cast off this city Jerusalem, which I chose, and the house, of which I said: My name shall be there.\n28 Now the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?\n29 In his days Pharao Nechao king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josias went to meet him: and was slain at Mageddo, when he had seen him.\n**30 And his servants carried him dead from Mageddo: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in Iris own sepulchre.

Here it is:\n*2 Maccabees Chapter 15*\n1 But when Nicanor understood that Judas was in the places of Samaria, he purposed to set upon him with all violence on the sabbath day.\n2 And when the Jews that were constrained to follow him, said: Do not act so fiercely and barbarously, but give honour to the day that is sanctified: and reverence him that beholdeth all things:\n3 That unhappy man asked, if there were a mighty One in heaven, that had commanded the sabbath day to be kept.\n4 And when they answered: There is the living Lord himself in heaven, the mighty One, that commanded the seventh day to be kept,\n5 Then he said: And I am mighty upon the earth, and I command to take arms, and to do the king's business. 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:\n23 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. And thus he concluded his prayer.\n25 But Nicanor, and they that were with him came forward, with trumpets and songs.\n26 But Judas, and they that were with him, encountered them, calling upon God by prayers:\n27 So fighting with their hands, but praying to the Lord with their hearts, they slew no less than five and thirty thousand, being greatly cheered with the presence of God.\n28 And when the battle was over, and they were returning with joy, they understood that Nicanor was slain in his armour.\n29 Then making a shout, and a great noise, they blessed the Almighty Lord in their own language.\n30 And Judas, who was altogether ready, in body and mind, to die for his countrymen, commanded that Nicanor's head, and his hand with the shoulder should be cut off, and carried to Jerusalem.\n31 And when he was come thither, having called together his countrymen, and the priests to the altar, he sent also for them that were in the castle,\n32 And shewing them the head of Nicanor, and the wicked hand, which he had stretched out, with proud boasts, against the holy house of the Almighty God,\n33 He commanded also, that the tongue of the wicked Nicanor, should be cut out and given by pieces to birds, and the hand of the furious man to be hanged up over against the temple.\n34 Then all blessed the Lord of heaven, saying: Blessed be he that hath kept his own place undefiled.\n**35 And he hung up Nicanor's head in the top of the castle, that it might be an evident and manifest sign of the help of God.**\n36 And they all ordained by a common decree, by no means to let this day pass without solemnity:\n37 But to celebrate the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, called, in the Syrian language, the day before Mardochias' day.\n38 So these things being done with relation to Nicanor, and from that time the city being possessed by the Hebrews, I also will here make an end of my narration.\n39 Which if I have done well, and as it becometh the history, it is what I desired: but if not so perfectly, it must be pardoned me.\n40 For as it is hurtful to drink always wine, or always water, but pleasant to use sometimes the one, and sometimes the other: so if the speech be always nicely framed, it will not be grateful to the readers.

behold we have sacrificed to him, since the days of Asor Haddan king of Assyria, who brought us hither.\n3 But Zorobabel, and Josue, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel said to them: You have nothing to do with us to build a house to our God, but we ourselves alone will build to the Lord our God, as Cyrus king of the Persians hath commanded us.\n4 Then the people of the land hindered the hands of the people of Juda, and troubled them in building.\n5 And they hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their design all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of the Persians.\n6 And in the reign of Assuerus, in the beginning of his reign, they wrote an accusation against the inhabitants of Juda and Jerusalem.\n7 And in the days of Artaxerxes, Beselam, Mithridates, and Thabeel, and the rest that were in the council wrote to Artaxerxes king of the Persians: and the letter of accusation was written in Syriac, and was read in the Syrian tongue.\n8 Reum Beelteem, and Samsai the scribe wrote a letter from Jerusalem to king Artaxerxes, in this manner:\n9 Reum Beelteem, and Samsai the scribe and the rest of their counsellors, the

Jerusalem a rebellious and wicked city, which they are building, setting up the ramparts thereof and repairing the walls.\n13 And now be it known to the king, that if this city be built up, and the walls thereof repaired, they will not pay tribute nor toll, nor yearly revenues, and this loss will fail upon the kings.\n14 But we remembering the salt that we have eaten in the palace, and because we count it a crime to see the king wronged, have therefore sent and certified the king,\n15 That search may be made in the books of the histories of thy fathers, and thou shalt find written in the records: and shalt know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful to the kings and provinces, and that wars were raised therein of old time: for which cause also the city was destroyed.\n16 We certify the king, that if this city be built, and the walls thereof repaired, thou shalt have no possession on this side of the river.\n17 The king sent word to Reum Beelteem and Samsai the scribe,

yesterday and the other day,\n3 Especially the Lord saying to him: Return into the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee.\n4 He sent, and called Rachel and Lia into the field, where he fed the flocks,\n5 And said to them: I see your father's countenance is not towards me as yesterday and the other day: but the God of my father hath been with me.\n6 And you know that I have served your father to the uttermost of my power.\n7 Yea, your father also hath overreached me, and hath changed my wages ten times: and yet God hath not suffered him to hurt me.\n8 If at any time he said: The speckled shall be thy wages: all the sheep brought forth speckled: but when he said on the contrary: Thou shalt take all the white ones for thy wages: all the flocks brought forth white ones.\n9 And God hath taken your father's substance, and given it to me.\n10 For after that time came of the ewes conceiving, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in my sleep that the males which leaped upon the females were of divers colours, and spotted, and speckled.\n11 And the angel of God said to me in my sleep: Jacob? And I answered: Here I am.\n12 And he said: Lift up thy eyes, and see that all the males leaping upon the females, are of divers colours, spotted, and speckled. For I have seen all that Laban hath done to thee.\n13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou didst anoint the stone, and make a vow to me. Now therefore arise, and go out of this land, and return into thy native country.\n14 And Rachel and Lia answered: Have we any thing left among the goods and inheritance of our father's house?\n15 Hath he not counted us as strangers and sold us, and eaten up the price of us?\n16 But God hath taken our father's riches, and delivered them to us, and to our children: wherefore do all that God hath commanded thee.\n17 Then Jacob rose up, and having set his children and wives upon camels, went his way.\n18 And he took all his substance, and flocks, and whatsoever he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and went forward to Isaac his father to the land of Chanaan.\n19 At that time Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole away her father's idols.\n20 And Jacob would not confess to his father in law that he was flying away.\n21 And when he was gone, together with all that belonged to him, and having passed the river, was going on towards mount Galaad,\n22 It was told Laban on the third day that Jacob fled.\n23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days; and overtook him in the mount of Galaad.\n24 And he saw in a dream God saying to him: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob.\n25 Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and when he with his brethren had overtaken him, he pitched his tent in the same mount of Galaad.\n26 And he said to Jacob: Why hast thou done thus, to carry away, without my knowledge, my daughters, as captives taken with the sword.\n27 Why wouldst thou run away privately and not acquaint me, that I might have brought thee on the way with joy, and with songs, and with timbrels, and with harps?\n28 Thou hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and daughters: thou hast done foolishly: and now, indeed,\n29 It is in my power to return thee evil: but the God of your father said to me yesterday: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob.\n30 Suppose thou didst desire to go to thy friends, and hadst a longing after thy father's house: why hast thou stolen away my gods?\n31 Jacob answered: That I departed unknown to thee, it was for fear lest thou wouldst take away thy daughters by force.\n32 But whereas thou chargest me with theft: with whomsoever thou shalt find thy gods, let him be slain before our brethren. Search, and if thou find any of thy things with me, take them away. Now when he said this, he knew not that Rachel had stolen the idols.\n33 So Laban went into the tent of Jacob, and of Lia, and of both the handmaids, and found them not. And when he was entered into Rachel's tent,\n34 She in haste hid the idols under the camel's furniture, and sat upon them: and when he had searched all the tent, and found nothing,\n35 She said: Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee, because it has now happened to me, according to the custom of women, So his careful search was in vain.\n36 And Jacob being angry, said in a chiding manner: For what fault of mine, and for what offence on my part hast thou so hotly pursued me,\n37 And searched all my household stuff? What hast thou found of all the substance of thy house? lay it here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and let them judge between me and thee.\n38 Have I therefore been with thee twenty years? thy ewes and goats were not barren, the rams of thy flocks I did not eat:\n39 Neither did I shew thee that which the beast had torn, I made good all the damage: whatsoever was lost by theft, thou didst exact it of me:\n40 Day and night was I parched with heat, and with frost, and sleep departed from my eyes.\n41 And in this manner have I served thee in thy house twenty years, fourteen for thy daughters, and six for thy flocks: thou hast changed also my wages ten times.\n42 Unless the God of my father Abraham, and the fear of Isaac had stood by me, peradventure now thou hadst sent me away naked: God beheld my affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday.\n43 Laban answered him: The daughters are mine and the children, and thy flocks, and all things that thou seest are mine: what can I do to my children, and grandchildren?\n44 Come therefore, let us enter into a league: that it may be for a testimony between me and thee.\n45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a title:\n46 And he said to his brethren: Bring hither stones. And they gathering stones together, made a heap, and they ate upon it.\n47 And Laban called it The witness heap: and Jacob, The hillock of testimony: each of them according to the propriety of his language.\n**48 And Laban said: This heap shall be a witness between me and thee this day, and therefore the name thereof was called Galaad, that is, The witness heap.**\n49 The Lord behold and judge between us when we shall be gone one from the other.\n50 If thou afflict my daughters, and if thou bring in other wives over them: none is witness of our speech but God, who is present and beholdeth.\n51 And he said again to Jacob: Behold, this heap, and the stone which I have set up between me and thee,\n52 Shall be a witness: this heap, I say, and the stone, be they for a testimony, if either I shall pass beyond it going towards thee, or thou shalt pass beyond it, thinking harm to me.\n53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nachor, the God of their father, judge between us.

in wait for the just, because he is not for our turn, and he is contrary to our doings, and upbraideth us with transgressions of the law, and divulgeth against us the sins of our way of life.\n13 He boasteth that he hath the knowledge of God, and calleth himself the son of God.\n14 He is become a censurer of our thoughts.\n15 He is grievous unto us, even to behold: for his life is not like other men's, and his ways are very different.\n16 We are esteemed by him as triflers, and he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness, and he preferreth the latter end of the just, and glorieth that he hath God for his father.\n17 Let us see then if his words be true, and let us prove what shall happen to him, and we shall know what his end shall be.\n18 For if he be the true son of God, he will defend him, and will deliver him from the hands of his enemies.\n19 Let us examine him by outrages and tortures, that we may know his meekness and try his patience.\n20 Let us condemn him to a most shameful death: for there shall be respect had unto him by his words.\n21 These things they thought, and were deceived: for their own malice blinded them.\n22 And they knew not the secrets of God, nor hoped for the wages of justice, nor esteemed the honour of holy souls.\n23 For God created man incorruptible, and to the image of his own likeness he made him.\n24 But by the envy of the devil, death

(For the talk of all Israel was come to the king in his house.)\n12 You are my brethren, you are my bone, and my flesh, why are you the last to bring back the king?\n13 And say ye to Amasa: Art not thou my bone, and my flesh? So do God to me and add more, if thou be not the chief captain of the army before me always in the place of Joab.\n14 And be inclined the heart of all the men of Juda, as it were of one man: and they sent to the king, saying: Return thou, and all thy servants.\n15 And the king returned and came as far as the Jordan, and all Juda came as far as Galgal to meet the king, and to bring him over the Jordan.\n16 And Semei the son of Gera the son of Jemini of Bahurim, made haste and went down with the men of Juda to meet king David,\n17 With a thousand men of Benjamin, and Siba the servant of the house of Saul: and his fifteen sons, and twenty servants were with him: and going over the Jordan,\n18 They passed the fords before the king, that they might help over the king's household, and do according to his commandment. And Semei the son of Gera falling down before the king, when he was come over the Jordan,\n19 Said to him: Impute not to me, my lord, the iniquity, nor remember the injuries of thy servant on the day that thou, my lord, the king, wentest out of Jerusalem, nor lay it up in thy heart, O king.\n20 For I thy servant acknowledge my sin: and therefore I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph, and am come down to meet my lord the king.\n21 But Abisai the son of Sarvia answering, said: Shall Semei for these words not be put to death, because he cursed the Lord's anointed?\n22 And David said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? why are you a satan this day to me? shall there any man be killed this day in Israel? do not I know that this day I am made king over Israel?\n23 And the king said to Semei: Thou shalt not die. And he swore unto him.\n24 And Miphiboseth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had neither washed his feet, nor trimmed his beard: nor washed his garments from the day that the king went out, until the day of his return in peace.\n25 And when he met the king at Jerusalem, the king said to him: Why camest thou not with me, Miphiboseth?\n26 And he answering, said: My lord, O king, my servant despised me: for I thy servant spoke to him to saddle me an ass, that I might get on and go with the king: for I thy servant am lame.\n27 Moreover he hath also accused me thy servant to thee, my lord the king: but thou my lord the king art as an angel of God, do what pleaseth thee.\n28 For all of my father's house were no better than worthy of death before my lord the king; and thou hast set me thy servant among the guests of thy table: what just complaint therefore have I? or what right to cry any more to the king?\n**29 Then the king said to him: Why speakest thou any more? what I have said is determined: thou and Siba divide the possessions.**\n30 And Miphiboseth answered the king: Yea, let him take all, for as much as my lord the king is returned peaceably into his house.\n31 Berzellai also the Galaadite coming down from Rogelim, brought the king over the Jordan, being ready also to wait on him beyond the river.\n32 Now Berzellai the Galaadite was of a great age, that is to say, fourscore years old, and he provided the king with sustenance when he abode in the camp: for he was a man exceeding rich.\n33 And the king said to Berzellai: Come with me that thou mayest rest secure with me in Jerusalem.\n34 And Berzellai said to the king: How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?\n35 I am this day fourscore years old, are my senses quick to discern sweet and bitter? or can meat or drink delight thy servant? or can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? why should thy servant be a burden to my lord, the king?\n36 I thy servant will go on a little way from the Jordan with thee: I need not this recompense.\n37 But I beseech thee let thy servant return, and die in my own city, and be buried by the sepulchre of my father, and of my mother. But there is thy servant Chamaam, let him go with thee, my lord, the king, and do to him whatsoever seemeth good to thee.\n38 Then the king said to him: Let Chamaam go over with me, and I will do for him whatsoever shall please thee, and all that thou shalt ask of me, thou shalt obtain.\n39 And when all the people and the king had passed over the Jordan, the king kissed Berzellai, and blessed him: and he returned to his own place.\n40 So the king went on to Galgal, and Chamaam with him. Now all the people of Juda had brought the king over, and only half of the people of Israel were there.\n41 Therefore all the men of Israel running together to the king, said to him: Why have our brethren the men of Juda stolen thee away, and have brought the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?\n42 And all the men of Juda answered the men of Israel: Because the king is nearer to me: why art thou angry for this matter? have we eaten any thing of the king's, or have any gifts been given us?\n43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Juda, and said: I have ten parts in the king more than thou, and David belongeth to me more than to thee: why hast thou done me a wrong, and why was it not told me first, that I might bring back my king?

Now there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.\n11 And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would.\n12 And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost.\n13 They gathered up therefore, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten.\n14 Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet, that is to come into the world.\n15 Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force, and make him king, fled again into the mountain himself alone.\n16 And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea.\n17 And when they had gone up into a ship, they went over the sea to Capharnaum; and it was now dark, and Jesus was not come unto them.\n18 And the sea arose, by reason of a great wind that blew.\n19 When they had rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship, and they were afraid.\n20 But he saith to them: It is I; be not afraid.\n21 They were willing therefore to take him into the ship; and presently the ship was at the land to which they were going.\n22 The next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea, saw that there was no other ship there but one, and that Jesus had not entered into the ship with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone.\n23 But other ships came in from Tiberias; nigh unto the place where they had eaten the bread, the Lord giving thanks.\n24 When therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they took shipping, and came to Capharnaum, seeking for Jesus.\n25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him: Rabbi, when camest thou hither?\n26 Jesus answered them, and said: Amen, amen I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled.\n27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. For him hath God, the Father, sealed.\n28 They said therefore unto him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?\n29 Jesus answered, and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he hath sent.\n30 They said therefore to him: What sign therefore dost thou shew, that we may see, and may believe thee? What dost thou work?\n31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.\n32 Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you; Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.\n33 For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.\n34 They said therefore unto him: Lord, give us always this bread.\n35 And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst.\n36 But I said unto you, that you also have seen me, and you believe not.\n37 All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out.\n38 Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.\n39 Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day.\n40 And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth in him, may have life everlasting, and I will raise him up in the last day.\n41 The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the living bread which came down from heaven.\n42 And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then saith he, I came down from heaven?\n43 Jesus therefore answered, and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves.\n44 No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up in the last day.\n45 It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to me.\n46 Not that any man hath seen the Father; but he who is of God, he hath seen the Father.\n47 Amen, amen I say unto you: He that believeth in me, hath everlasting life.\n48 I am the bread of life.\n49 Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead.\n50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven; that if any man eat of it, he may not die.\n51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven.\n52 If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world.\n53 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?\n54 Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.\n55 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.\n56 For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.\n57 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him.\n58 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me.\n59 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever.\n60 These things he said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capharnaum.\n61 Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard, and who can hear it?\n**62 But Jesus, knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you?**\n63 If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?\n64 It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you, are spirit and life.\n65 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who he was, that would betray him.\n66 And he said: Therefore did I say to you, that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father.\n67 After this many of his disciples went back; and walked no more with him.\n68 Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away?\n69 And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.\n70 And we have believed and have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.\n71 Jesus answered them: Have not I chosen you twelve; and one of you is a devil?\n72 Now he meant Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for this same was about to betray him, whereas he was one of the twelve.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Quote from Joshua chapter 19, verse 48", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From Joshua chapter 19, verse 48, Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"This is the possession of the tribe of the sons of Dan, by their kindreds, the cities and their villages.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the reference (book, chapter, verse) for \"And saying: Do penance: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The scripture \"And saying: Do penance: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.\" is located in Matthew 3:2 of the New Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What are the chapter and verse numbers for \"But they neglected, and went their own ways, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise.\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The scripture \"But they neglected, and went their own ways, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise.\" is located in Matthew 22:5 of the New Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book is the verse \"And going quickly, tell ye his disciples that he is risen: and behold he will go before you into Galilee; there you shall see him.

Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister that dwelleth at thy right hand is Sodom, and her daughters.\n47 But neither hast thou walked in their ways, nor hast thou done a little less than they according to their wickednesses: thou hast done almost more wicked things than they in all thy ways.\n48 As I live, saith the Lord God, thy sister Sodom herself, and her daughters, have not done as thou hast done, and thy daughters.\n49 Behold this was the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance, and the idleness of her, and of her daughters: and they did not put forth their hand to the needy, and to the poor.\n50 And they were lifted up, and committed abominations before me: and I took them away as thou hast seen.\n51 And Samaria committed not half thy sins: but thou hast surpassed them with thy crimes, and hast justified thy sisters by all thy abominations which thou hast done.\n52 Therefore do thou also bear thy confusion, thou that hast surpassed thy sisters with thy sins, doing more wickedly than they: for they are justified above thee, therefore be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, thou that hast justified thy sisters.\n53 And I will bring back and restore them by bringing back Sodom, with her daughters, and by bringing back Samaria, and her daughters: and I will bring those that return of thee in the midst of them.\n54 That thou mayest bear thy shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, comforting them.\n55 And thy sister Sodom and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and thou and thy daughters shall return to your ancient state.\n56 And Sodom thy sister was not heard of in thy mouth,

encompass thee on all sides.\n58 Thou hast borne thy wickedness, and thy disgrace, saith the Lord God.\n59 For thus saith the Lord God: I will deal with thee, as thou hast despised the oath, in breaking the covenant:\n60 And I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth: and I will establish with thee an everlasting covenant.\n61 And thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed: when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thy elder and thy younger: and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.\n62 And I will establish my covenant with thee: and thou

And with them was Peter also, standing, and warming himself.\n19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.\n20 Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world: I have always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort; and in secret I have spoken nothing.\n21 Why asketh thou me? ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them: behold they know what things I have said.\n22 And when he had said these things, one of the servants standing by, gave Jesus a blow, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so?\n23 Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me?\n24 And Annas sent him bound to Caiphas the high priest.\n25 And Simon Peter was standing, and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said: I am not.\n26 One of the servants of the high priest (a kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off) saith to him: Did I not see thee in the garden with him?\n27 Again therefore Peter denied; and immediately the cock crew.\n28 Then they led Jesus from Caiphas to the governor's hall. And it was morning; and they went not into the hall, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the pasch.\n29 Pilate therefore went out to them, and said: What accusation bring you against this man?\n30 They answered, and said to him: If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.\n31 Pilate therefore said to them: Take him you, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any man to death;\n32 That the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he said, signifying what death he should die.\n33 Pilate therefore went into the hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews?\n34 Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me?\n35 Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?\n36 Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.\n37 Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.\n38 Pilate saith to him: What is truth? And when he said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them: I find no cause in him.\n39 But you have a custom that I should release one unto you at the pasch: will you, therefore, that I release unto you the king of the Jews?\n40 Then cried they all again, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas.

of Uriel of Gabaa: and there was war between Abia and Jeroboam.\n3 And when Abia had begun battle, and had with him four hundred thousand most valiant and chosen men, Jeroboam put his army in array against him, eight hundred thousand men, who were also chosen and most valiant for war.\n4 And Abia stood upon mount Semeron, which was in Ephraim, and said: Hear me, O Jeroboam, and all Israel:\n5 Do you not know that the Lord God of Israel gave to David the kingdom over Israel for ever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?\n6 And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up: and rebelled against his lord.\n7 And there were gathered to him vain men, and children of Belial: and they prevailed against Roboam the son of Solomon: for Roboam was unexperienced, and of a fearful heart, and could not resist them.\n8 And now you say that you are able to withstand the kingdom of the Lord, which he possesseth by the sons of David, and you have a great multitude of people, and golden calves, which Jeroboam hath made you for gods.\n9 And you have cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites: and you have made you priests, like all the nations of the earth: whosoever cometh and consecrateth his hand with a bullock of the herd, and with seven rams, is made a priest of those who are no gods.\n10 But the Lord is our God, whom we forsake not, and the priests who minister to the Lord are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites are in their order.\n11 And they offer holocausts to the Lord, every day, morning and evening, and incense made according to the ordinance of the law, and the leaves are set forth on a most clean table, and there is with us the golden candlestick, and the lamps thereof, to be lighted

you: O children of Israel, fight not against the Lord the God of your fathers, for it is not good for you.\n13 While he spoke these things, Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind him. And while he stood facing the enemies, he encompassed Juda. who perceived it not, with his army.\n14 And when Juda looked back, they saw the battle coming upon them both before and behind, and they cried to the Lord: and the priests began to sound with the trumpets.\n15 And all the men of Juda shouted: and behold when they shouted, God terrified Jeroboam, and all Israel that stood against Abia and Juda.\n16 And the children of Israel fled before Juda, and the Lord delivered them into their hand.\n17 And Abia and his people slew them with a great slaughter, and there fell wounded of Israel five hundred thousand valiant men.\n18 And the children of Israel were brought down, at that time, and the children of Juda were exceedingly strengthened, because they had trusted in the Lord the God of their fathers.\n19 And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel and her daughters, and Jesana with her daughters, Ephron also and her daughters.\n**20 And Jeroboam was not able to resist any more, in the days of Abia: and the Lord struck him, and he died.**\n21 But Abia, being strengthened in his kingdom, took fourteen wives: and begot two and twenty sons, and sixteen daughters.\n22 And the rest of the acts of Abia, and of his ways and works, are written diligently in the book of Addo the prophet.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the content of 2 Kings 5:27?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Old Testament, 2 Kings chapter 5, verse 27 (Douay Rheims) says:\n\"But the leprosy of Naaman shall also stick to thee, and to thy seed for ever.

And he did to the king of Maceda, as he had done to the king of Jericho.\n29 And he passed from Maceda with all Israel to Lebna, and fought against it:\n30 And the Lord delivered it with the king thereof into the hands of Israel: and they destroyed the city with the edge of the sword, and all the inhabitants thereof.

And they did to the king of Lebna, as they had done to the king of Jericho.\n31 From Lebna he passed unto Lachis, with all Israel: and investing it with his army, besieged it.\n32 And the Lord delivered Lachis into the hands of Israel, and he took it the following day, and put it to the sword, and every soul that was in it, as he had done to Lebna.\n33 At that time Horam king of Gazer, came up to succour Lachis: and Josue slew him with all his people, so as to leave none alive.\n34 And he passed from Lachis to Eglon, and surrounded it,\n35 And took it the same day: and put to the sword all the souls that were in it, according to all that he had done to Lachis.\n36 He went up also with all Israel from Eglon to Hebron, and fought against it:\n37 Took it, and destroyed it with the edge of the sword: the king also thereof, and all the towns of that country, and all the souls that dwelt in it: he left not therein any remains: as he had done to Eglon, so did he also to Hebron, putting to the sword all that he found in it.\n38 Returning from thence to Dabir,\n**39 He took it and destroyed it: the king also thereof and all the towns round about he destroyed with the edge of the sword: he left not in it any remains: as he had done to Hebron and Lebna and to their kings, so did he to Dabir and to the king thereof.**\n40 So Josue conquered all the country of the hills and of the south and of the plain, and of Asedoth, with their kings: he left not any remains therein, but slew all that breathed, as the Lord the God of Israel had commanded him,\n41 From Cadesbarne even to Gaza.

And they marvelled at him.\n18 And there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying:\n19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, that if any man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.\n20 Now there were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and died leaving no issue.\n21 And the second took her, and died: and neither did he leave any issue. And the third in like manner.\n22 And the seven all took her in like manner; and did not leave issue. Last of all the woman also died.\n23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise again, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.\n24 And Jesus answering, saith to them: Do ye not therefore err, because you know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?\n**25 For when they shall rise again from the dead, they shall neither marry, nor be married, but are as the angels in heaven.**\n26 And as concerning the dead that they rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?\n27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You therefore do greatly err.\n28 And there came one of the scribes that had heard them reasoning together, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was the first commandment of all.\n29 And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord thy God is one God.\n30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind, and with thy whole strength. This is the first commandment.\n31 And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.\n32 And the scribe said to him: Well, Master, thou hast said in truth, that there is one God, and there is no other besides him.\n33 And that he should be loved with the whole heart, and with the whole understanding, and with the whole soul, and with the whole strength; and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices.\n34 And Jesus seeing that he had answered wisely, said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.\n35 And Jesus answering, said, teaching in the temple: How do the scribes say, that Christ is the son of David?\n36 For David himself saith by the Holy Ghost: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool.\n37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord, and whence is he then his son?

It is enough: the hour is come: behold the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners.\n42 Rise up, let us go. Behold, he that will betray me is at hand.\n43 And while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve: and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients.\n44 And he that betrayed him, had given them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; lay hold on him, and lead him away carefully.\n45 And when he was come, immediately going up to him, he saith: Hail, Rabbi; and he kissed him.\n46 But they laid hands on him, and held him.\n47 And one of them that stood by, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the chief priest, and cut off his ear.\n48 And Jesus answering, said to them: Are you come out as to a robber, with swords and staves to apprehend me?\n49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not lay hands on me. But that the scriptures may be fulfilled.\n50 Then his disciples leaving him, all fled away.\n51 And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and they laid hold on him.\n52 But he, casting off the linen cloth, fled from them naked.\n53 And they brought Jesus to the high priest; and all the priests and the scribes and the ancients assembled together.\n54 And Peter followed him from afar off, even into the court of the high priest; and he sat with the servants at the fire, and warmed himself.\n**55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for evidence against Jesus, that they might put him to death, and found none.**\n56 For many bore false witness against him, and their evidences were not agreeing.\n57 And some rising up, bore false witness against him, saying:\n58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another not made with hands.\n59 And their witness did not agree.\n60 And the high priest rising up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying: Answerest thou nothing to the things that are laid to thy charge by these men?\n61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said to him: Art thou the Christ the Son of the blessed God?\n62 And Jesus said to him: I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming with the clouds of heaven.\n63 Then the high priest rending his garments, saith: What need we any further witnesses?\n64 You have heard the blasphemy. What think you? Who all condemned him to be guilty of death.\n65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him: Prophesy: and the servants struck him with the palms of their hands.\n66 Now when Peter was in the court below, there cometh one of the maidservants of the high priest.\n67 And when she had seen Peter warming himself, looking on him she saith: Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.\n68 But he denied, saying: I neither know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went forth before the court; and the cock crew.\n69 And again a maidservant seeing him, began to say to the standers by: This is one of them.\n70 But he denied again. And after a while they that stood by said again to Peter: Surely thou art one of them; for thou art also a Galilean.\n71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying; I know not this man of whom you speak.\n72 And immediately the cock crew again. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said unto him: Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me.

But they said: What is that to us? look thou to it.\n5 And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed: and went and hanged himself with an halter.\n6 But the chief priests having taken the pieces of silver, said: It is not lawful to put them into the corbona, because it is the price of blood.\n7 And after they had consulted together, they bought with them the potter's field, to be a burying place for strangers.\n**8 For this cause the field was called Haceldama, that is, The field of blood, even to this day.**\n9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was prized, whom they prized of the children of Israel.\n10 And they gave them unto the potter's field, as the Lord appointed to me.\n11 And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? Jesus saith to him: Thou sayest it.\n12 And when he was accused by the chief priests and ancients, he answered nothing.\n13 Then Pilate saith to him: Dost not thou hear how great testimonies they allege against thee?\n14 And he answered him to never a word; so that the governor wondered exceedingly.\n15 Now upon the solemn day the governor was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner, whom they would.\n16 And he had then a notorious prisoner, that was called Barabbas.\n17 They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said: Whom will you that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus that is called Christ?\n18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.\n19 And as he was sitting in the place of judgment, his wife sent to him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.\n20 But the chief priests and ancients persuaded the people, that they should ask for Barabbas, and take Jesus away.\n21 And the governor answering, said to them: Whether will you of the two to be released unto you? But they said, Barabbas.\n22 Pilate saith to them: What shall I do then with Jesus that is called Christ? They say all: Let him be crucified.\n23 The governor said to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying: Let him be crucified.\n24 And Pilate seeing that he prevailed nothing, but that rather a tumult was made; taking water washed his hands before the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man; look you to it.\n25 And the whole people answering, said: His blood be upon us and our children.\n26 Then he released to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him unto them to be crucified.\n27 Then the soldiers of the governor taking Jesus into the hall, gathered together unto him the whole band;\n28 And stripping him, they put a scarlet cloak about him.\n29 And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail, king of the Jews.\n30 And spitting upon him, they took the reed, and struck his head.\n31 And after they had mocked him, they took off the cloak from him, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him.\n32 And going out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they forced to take up his cross.\n33 And they came to the place that is called Golgotha, which is the place of Calvary.\n34 And they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall. And when he had tasted, he would not drink.\n35 And after they had crucified him, they divided his garments, casting lots; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: They divided my garments among them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.\n36 And they sat and watched him.\n37 And they put over his head his cause written: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.\n38 Then were crucified with him two thieves: one on the right hand, and one on the left.\n39 And they that passed by, blasphemed him, wagging their heads,\n40 And saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God, and in three days dost rebuild it: save thy own self: if thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.\n41 In like manner also the chief priests, with the scribes and ancients, mocking, said:\n42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.\n43 He trusted in God; let him now deliver him if he will have him; for he said: I am the Son of God.\n44 And the selfsame thing the thieves also, that were crucified with him, reproached him with.\n45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole earth, until the ninth hour.\n46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?\n47 And some that stood there and heard, said: This man calleth Elias.\n48 And immediately one of them running took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar; and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.\n49 And the others said: Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to deliver him.\n50 And Jesus again crying with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.\n51 And behold the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top even to the bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rocks were rent.\n52 And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that had slept arose,\n53 And coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, came into the holy city, and appeared to many.\n54 Now the centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were sore afraid, saying: Indeed this was the Son of God.\n55 And there were there many women afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:\n56 Among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.\n57 And when it was evening, there came a certain rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus.\n58 He went to Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be delivered.\n59 And Joseph taking the body, wrapped it up in a clean linen cloth.\n60 And laid it in his own new monument, which he had hewed out in a rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the monument, and went his way.\n61 And there was there Mary Magdalen, and the other Mary sitting over against the sepulchre.\n62 And the next day, which followed the day of preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,\n63 Saying: Sir, we have remembered, that that seducer said, while he was yet alive: After three days I will rise again.\n64 Command therefore the sepulchre to be guarded until the third day: lest perhaps his disciples come and steal him away, and say to the people: He is risen from the dead; and the last error shall be worse than the first.\n65 Pilate saith to them: You have a guard; go, guard it as you know.\n66 And they departing, made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting guards.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Verse 55 from chapter 7 in Nehemiah?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From Nehemiah chapter 7, verse 55, Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"The children of Bercos, the children of Sisara, the children of Thema,\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book is the quote \"He that walketh sincerely, walketh confidently: but he that perverteth his ways, shall be manifest.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Old Testament, the book of Proverbs, chapter 10, verse 9 states: \"He that walketh sincerely, walketh confidently: but he that perverteth his ways, shall be manifest.\".", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you tell me the book and chapter for \"She hath opened her mouth to wisdom, and the law of clemency is on her tongue.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you're referencing is from the book *Proverbs*, chapter *31*.\n\nHere's the full chapter:\n*Proverbs Chapter 31*\n1 The words of king Lamuel.

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. For in the eight and thirtieth year coming into Egypt, when Ptolemy Evergetes was king, and continuing there a long time, I found there books left, of no small nor contemptible learning. Therefore I thought it good, and necessary for me to bestow some diligence and labour to interpret this book; and with much watching and study in some space of time, I brought the book to an end, and set it forth for the service of them that are willing to apply their mind, and to learn how they ought to conduct themselves, who purpose to lead their life according to the law of the Lord.

For he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver and gold: and I said not nay.\n8 And all the ancients, and all the people said to him: Hearken not to him, nor consent to him.\n9 Wherefore he answered the messengers of Benadad: Tell my lord the king: All that thou didst send for to me thy servant at first, I will do: but this thing I cannot do.\n10 And the messengers returning brought him word. And he sent again and said: Such and such things may the gods do to me, and more may they add, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.\n11 And the king of Israel answering, said: Tell him: Let not the girded boast himself as the ungirded.\n12 And it came to pass, when Benadad heard this word, that he and the kings were drinking in pavilions, and he said to his servants: Beset the city. And they beset it.\n13 And behold a prophet coming to Achab king of Israel, said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Hast thou seen all this exceeding great multitude, behold I will deliver them into thy hand this day: that thou mayest know that I am the Lord.\n14 And Achab said: By whom? And he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: By the servants of the princes of the provinces. And he said: Who shall begin to fight? And he said: Thou.\n15 So he mustered the servants of the princes of the provinces, and he found the number of two hundred and thirty-two: and he mustered after them the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand:\n16 And they went out at noon. But Benadad was drinking himself drunk in his pavilion, and the two and thirty kings with him, who were come to help him.\n17 And the servants of the princes of the provinces went out first. And Benadad sent. And they told him, saying: There are men come out of Samaria.\n18 And he said: Whether they come for peace, take them alive: or whether they come to fight, take them alive.\n19 So the servants of the princes of the provinces went out, and the rest of the army followed:\n20 And every one slew the man that came against him: and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued after them. And Benadad king of Syria fled away on horseback with his horsemen.\n21 But the king of Israel going out overthrew the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.\n22 (And a prophet coming to the king of Israel, said to him: Go, and strengthen thyself, and know, and see what thou dost: for the next year the king of Syria will come up against thee.)\n23 But the servants of the king of Syria said to him: Their gods are gods of the hills, therefore they have overcome us: but it is better that we should fight against them in the plains, and we shall overcome them.\n24 Do thou therefore this thing: Remove all the kings from thy army, and put captains in their stead:\n25 And make up the number of soldiers that have been slain of thine, and horses according to the former horses, and chariots according to the chariots which thou hadst before: and we will fight against them in the plains, and thou shalt see that we shall overcome them. He believed their counsel and did so.\n26 Wherefore at the return of the year, Benadad mustered the Syrians, ancient up to Aphec, to fight against Israel.\n27 And the children of Israel were mustered, and taking victuals went out on the other side, and camped over against them, like two little flocks of goats: but the Syrians filled the land.\n28 (And a man of God coming, said to the king of Israel: Thus saith the Lord: Because the Syrians have said: The Lord is God of the hills, but is not God of the valleys: I will deliver all this great multitude into thy hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.)\n29 And both sides set their armies in array one against the other seven days, and on the seventh day the battle was fought: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians a hundred thousand footmen in one day.\n30 And they that remained fled to Aphec, into the city: and the wall fell upon seven and twenty thousand men, that were left. And Benadad fleeing went into the city, into a chamber that was within a chamber.\n31 And his servants said to him: Behold, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful: so let us put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: perhaps he will save our lives.\n32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said to him: Thy servant Benadad saith: I beseech thee let me have my life. And he said: If he be yet alive he is my brother.\n33 The men took this for a sign: and in haste caught the word out of his mouth, and said: Thy brother Benadad.

sabbath, that as he went through the corn fields, his disciples plucked the ears, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.\n2 And some of the Pharisees said to them: Why do you that which is not lawful on the sabbath days?\n3 And Jesus answering them, said: Have you not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was hungry, and they that were with him:\n4 How he went into the house of God, and took and ate the bread of proposition, and gave to them that were with him, which is not lawful to eat but only for the priests?\n5 And he said to them: The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.\n6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue, and taught. And there was a man, whose right hand was withered.\n7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched if he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find an accusation against him.\n8 But he knew their thoughts; and said to the man who had the withered hand: Arise, and stand forth in the midst. And rising he stood forth.\n9 Then Jesus said to them: I ask you, if it be lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil; to save life, or to destroy?\n10 And looking round about on them all, he said to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored.\n11 And they were filled with madness; and they talked one with another, what they might do to Jesus.\n**12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and he passed the whole night in the prayer of God.**\n13 And when day was come, he called unto him his disciples; and he chose twelve of them (whom also he named apostles):\n14 Simon, whom he surnamed Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,\n15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon who is called Zelotes,\n16 And Jude, the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who was the traitor.\n17 And coming down with them, he stood in a plain place, and the company of his disciples, and a very great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast both of Tyre and Sidon,\n18 Who were come to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases. And they that were troubled with unclean spirits, were cured.\n19 And all the multitude sought to touch him, for virtue went out from him, and healed all.\n20 And he, lifting up his eyes on his disciples, said: Blessed are ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.\n21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for you shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for you shall laugh.\n22 Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.\n23 Be glad in that day and rejoice; for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For according to these things did their fathers to the prophets.\n24 But woe to you that are rich: for you have your consolation.\n25 Woe to you that are filled: for you shall hunger. Woe to you that now laugh: for you shall mourn and weep.\n26 Woe to you when men shall bless you: for according to these things did their fathers to the false prophets.\n27 But I say to you that hear: Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you.\n28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them that calumniate you.\n29 And to him that striketh thee on the one cheek, offer also the other.

Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven.\n38 Give, and it shall be given to you: good measure and pressed down and shaken together and running over shall they give into your bosom.

And withal consider that I am your bone, and your flesh.\n3 And his mother's brethren spoke of him to all the men of Sichem, all these words, and they inclined their hearts after Abimelech, saying: He is our brother:\n4 And they gave him seventy weight of silver out of the temple of Baalberith: wherewith he hired to himself men that were needy, and vagabonds, and they followed him.\n5 And he came to his father's house in Ephra, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerobaal, seventy men, upon one stone: and there remained only Joatham the youngest son of Jerobaal, who was hidden.\n6 And all the men of Sichem were gathered together, and all the families of the city of Mello: and they went and made Abimelech king, by the oak that stood in Sichem.\n7 This being told to Joatham, he went and stood on the top of mount Garizim: and lifting up his voice, he cried, and said: Hear me, ye men of Sichem, so may God hear you.\n8 The trees went to anoint a king over them: and they said to the olive tree: Reign thou over us.\n9 And it answered: Can I leave my fatness, which both gods and men make use of, to come to be promoted among the trees?\n10 And the trees said to the fig tree: Come thou and reign over us.\n11 And it answered them: Can I leave my sweetness, and my delicious fruits, and go to be promoted among the other trees?\n12 And the trees said to the vine: Come thou and reign over us.\n13 And it answered them: Can I forsake my wine, that cheereth God and men, and be promoted among the other trees?\n14 And all the trees said to the bramble: Come thou and reign over us.\n15 And it answered them: If indeed you mean to make me king, come ye and rest under my shadow: but if you mean it not, let fire come out from the bramble, and devour the cedars of Libanus.\n16 Now therefore if you have done well, and without sin in appointing Abimelech king over you, and have dealt well with Jerobaal, and with his house, and have made a suitable return for the benefits of him, who fought for you,\n17 And exposed his life to dangers, to deliver you from the hands of Madian,\n18 And you are now risen up against my father's house, and have killed his sons seventy men upon one stone, and have made Abimelech the son of his handmaid king over the inhabitants of Sichem, because he is your brother:\n19 If therefore you have dealt well, and without fault with Jerobaal, and his house, rejoice ye this day in Abimelech, and may he rejoice in you.\n20 But if unjustly: let fire come out from him, and consume the inhabitants of Sichem, and the town of Mello: and let fire come out from the men of Sichem, and from the town of Mello, and devour Abimelech.\n**21 And when he had said thus he fled, and went into Bera: and dwelt there for fear of Abimelech his brother.**\n22 So Abimelech reigned over Israel for three years.\n23 And the Lord sent a very evil spirit between Abimelech and the inhabitants of Sichem: who began to detest him,\n24 And to leave the crime of the murder of the seventy sons of Jerobaal, and the shedding of their blood upon Abimelech their brother, and upon the rest of the princes of the Sichemites, who aided him.\n25 And they set an ambush against him on the top of the mountains: and while they waited for his coming, they committed robberies, taking spoils of all that passed by: and it was told Abimelech.\n26 And Gaal the son of Obed came with his brethren, and went over to Sichem. And the inhabitants of Sichem taking courage at his coming,\n27 Went out into the fields, wasting the vineyards, and treading down the grapes: and singing and dancing they went into the temple of their god, and in their banquets and cups they cursed Abimelech.\n28 And Gaal the son of Obed cried: Who is Abimelech, and what is Sichem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerobaal, and hath made Zebul his servant ruler over the men of Emor the father of Sichem? Why then shall we serve him?\n29 Would to God that some man would put this people under my hand, that I might remove Abimelech out of the way. And it was said to Abimelech: Gather together the multitude of an army, and come.\n30 For Zebul the ruler of the city, hearing the words of Gaal, the son of Obed, was very angry,\n31 And sent messengers privately to Abimelech, saying: Behold Gaal the son of Obed is come into Sichem with his brethren, and endeavoureth to set the city against thee.\n32 Arise therefore in the night with the people that is with thee and he hid in the field:\n33 And betimes in the morning at sun rising set upon the city. And when he shall come out against thee with his people, do to him what thou shalt be able.\n34 Abimelech therefore arose with all his army by night, and laid ambushes near Sichem in four places.\n35 And Gaal the son of Obed went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city. And Abimelech rose up, and all his army with him from the places of the ambushes.\n36 And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul: Behold a multitude cometh down from the mountains. And he answered him: Thou seest the shadows of the mountains as if they were the heads of men, and this is thy mistake.\n37 Again Gaal said: Behold there cometh people down from the middle of the land, and one troop cometh by the way that looketh towards the oak.\n38 And Zebul said to him: Where is now thy mouth wherewith thou saidst? Who is Abimelech that we should serve him? Is not this the people which thou didst despise? Go out, and fight against him.\n39 So Gaal went out in the sight of the people of Sichem, and fought against Abimelech,\n40 Who chased and put him to flight, and drove him to the city: and many were slain of his people, even to the gate of the city:\n41 And Abimelech sat down in Ruma: but Zebul drove Gaal, and his companions out of the city, and would not suffer them to abide in it.\n42 So the day following the people went out into the field. And it was told Abimelech.\n43 And he took his army, and divided it into three companies, and laid ambushes in the fields. And seeing that the people came out of the city, he arose and set upon them,\n44 With his own company, assaulting and besieging the city: whilst the two other companies chased the enemies that were scattered about the field.\n45 And Abimelech assaulted the city all that day: and took it, and killed the inhabitants thereof, and demolished it, so that he sowed salt in it.\n46 And when they who dwelt in the tower of Sichem had heard this, they went into the temple of their god Berith where they had made a covenant with him, and from thence the place had taken its name, and it was exceeding strong.\n47 Abimelech also hearing that the men of the tower of Sichem were gathered together,\n48 Went up into mount Selmon he and all his people with him: and taking an axe, he cut down the bough of a tree, and laying it on his shoulder and carrying it, he said to his companions: What you see me do, do you out of hand.\n49 So they cut down boughs from the trees, every man as fast as he could, and followed their leader. And surrounding the fort they set it on fire: and so it came to pass that with the smoke and with the fire a thousand persons were killed, men and women together, of the inhabitants of the tower of Sichem.\n50 Then Abimelech departing from thence came to the town of Thebes, which he surrounded and besieged with his army.\n51 And there was in the midst of the city a high tower, to which both the men and the women were fled together, and all the princes of the city, and having shut and strongly barred the gate, they stood upon the battlements of the tower to defend themselves.\n52 And Abimelech coming near the tower, fought stoutly: and approaching to the gate, endeavoured to set fire to it:\n53 And behold a certain woman casting a piece of a millstone from above, dashed it against the head of Abimelech, and broke his skull.\n54 And he called hastily to his armourbearer, and said to him: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest it should be said that I was slain by a woman. He did as he was commanded, and slew him.\n55 And when he was dead, all the men of Israel that were with him, returned to their homes.\n56 And God repaid the evil, that Abimelech had done against his father, killing his seventy brethren.\n57 The Sichemites also were rewarded for what they had done, and the curse of Joatham the son of Jerobaal came upon them.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "- **Book:** Mark\n- **Chapter:** 13\n- **Verse:** 23", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**The New Testament**\n*Mark 13:23 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"Take you heed therefore; behold I have foretold you all things.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book, chapter, and verse is \"But my people, on the contrary, are risen up as an enemy: you have taken away the cloak off from the coat: and them that passed harmless you have turned to war.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"But my people, on the contrary, are risen up as an enemy: you have taken away the cloak off from the coat: and them that passed harmless you have turned to war.\" appears in Micah, chapter 2, at verse 8 of the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Scripture from Numbers 15:10?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**Old Testament**\n*Numbers 15:10 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"And wine for libations of the same measure, for an offering of most sweet savour to the Lord.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book, chapter, and verse is \"To feed Jacob his servant, and Israel his inheritance.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The text \"To feed Jacob his servant, and Israel his inheritance.\" is part of Psalm chapter 77, verse 71 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book, chapter, and verse is \"O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The text \"O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.\" is part of Psalm chapter 91, verse 6 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you provide the book, chapter, and verse for \"Neither yield ye your members as instruments of iniquity unto sin; but present yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of justice unto God.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The text \"Neither yield ye your members as instruments of iniquity unto sin; but present yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of justice unto God.\" is part of Romans chapter 6, verse 13 in the New Testament.", "role": "assistant" } ]

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": "Which book and chapter does \"Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein: and rise up altogether as a river, and be cast out, and run down as the river of Egypt?\" belong to?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "It's from the book of *Amos*, chapter *8*.\n\nHere's the chapter in full:\n*Amos Chapter 8*\n1 These things the Lord shewed to me: and behold a hook to draw down the fruit.\n2 And he said: What seest thou, Amos?

And when the people was gone,\n6 King Roboam took counsel with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and he said: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people?\n7 They said to him: If thou wilt yield to this people to day, and condescend to them, and grant their petition, and wilt speak gentle words to them, they will be thy servants always.\n8 But he left the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men, that had been brought up with him, and stood before him.\n9 And he said to them: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people, who have said to me: Make the yoke which thy father put upon us lighter?\n10 And the young men that had been brought up with him, said: Thus shalt thou speak to this people, who have spoken to thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou ease us. Thou shalt say to them: My little finger is thicker than the back of my father.\n11 And now my father put a, heavy yoke upon you, but I will add to your yoke: my father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions.\n12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Roboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying: Come to me again the third day.\n13 And the king answered the people roughly, leaving the counsel of the old men, which they had given him,\n14 And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying: My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke: my father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions.\n15 And the king condescended not to the people: for the Lord was turned away from him, to make good his word, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias the Silonite, to Jeroboam the son of Nabat.\n16 Then the people seeing that the king would not hearken to them, answered him, saying: What portion have we in David? or what inheritance in the son of Isai? Go home to thy dwellings, O Israel, now David look to thy own house. So Israel departed to their dwellings.\n17 But as for all the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda, Roboam reigned over them.\n18 Then king Roboam sent Aduram, who was over the tribute: and all Israel stoned him, and he died. Wherefore king Roboam made haste to get him up into his chariot, and he fled to Jerusalem:\n19 And Israel revolted from the house of David, unto this day.\n20 And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they gathered an assembly, and sent and called him, and made him king over all Israel, and there was none that followed the house of David but the tribe of Juda only.\n21 And Roboam came to Jerusalem, and gathered together all the house of Juda, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred four-score thousand chosen men for war, to fight against the house of Israel and to bring the kingdom again under Roboam the son of Solomon.\n22 But the word of the Lord came to Semeias the man of God, saying:\n23 Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon, the king of Juda, and to all the house of Juda, and Benjamin, and the rest of the people, saying:\n24 Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: let every man return to his house, for this thing is from me. They hearkened to the word of the Lord, and returned from their journey, as the Lord had commanded them.\n25 And Jeroboam built Sichem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt there, and going out from thence he built Phanuel.\n26 And Jeroboam said in his heart: Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David,\n27 If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem: and the heart of this people will turn to their lord Roboam the king of Juda, and they will kill me, and return to him.\n28 And finding out a device he made two golden calves, and said to them: Go ye up no more to Jerusalem: Behold thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt.\n29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other in Dan:\n**30 And this thing became an occasion of sin: for the people went to adore the calf as far as Dan.**\n31 And he made temples in the high places, and priests of the lowest of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.\n32 And he appointed a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, after the manner of the feast that was celebrated in Juda. And going up to the altar, he did in like manner in Bethel, to sacrifice to the calves, which he had made: and he placed in Bethel priests of the high places, which he had made.\n33 And he went up to the altar, which he had built in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast to the children of Israel, and went upon the altar to burn incense.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and what chapter and verse include \"When the Lord thy God shall have destroyed before thy face the nations, which then shalt go in to possess, and when thou shalt possess them, and dwell in their land:\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Bible, the verse \"When the Lord thy God shall have destroyed before thy face the nations, which then shalt go in to possess, and when thou shalt possess them, and dwell in their land:\" can be found in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 12, verse 29 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which chapter and book contains \"Now when God destroyed the cities of that country, remembering Abraham, he delivered Lot out of the destruction of the cities wherein he had dwelt.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you're referencing is from the book *Genesis*, chapter *19*.\n\nHere's the full chapter:\n*Genesis Chapter 19*\n1 And the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of the city.

And they said: No, but we will abide in the street.\n3 He pressed them very much to turn in unto him: and when they were come into his house, he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread and they ate:\n4 But before they went to bed, the men of the city beset the house both young and old, all the people together.\n5 And they called Lot, and said to him: Where are the men that came in to thee at night? bring them out hither that we may know them:\n6 Lot went out to them, and shut the door after him, and said:\n7 Do not so, I beseech you, my brethren, do not commit this evil.\n8 I have two daughters who as yet have not known man: I will bring them out to you, and abuse you them as it shall please you, so that you do no evil to these men, because they are come in under the shadow of my roof.\n9 But they said: Get thee back thither. And again: Thou camest in, said they, as a, stranger, was it to be a judge? therefore we will afflict thee more than them. And they pressed very violently upon Lot: and they were even at the point of breaking open the doors.\n10 And behold the men put out their hand, and drew in Lot unto them, and shut the door:\n11 And them that were without, they struck with blindness from the least to the greatest, so that they could not find the door.\n12 And they said to Lot: Hast thou here any of thine? son in law, or sons, or daughters, all that are thine bring them out of this city:\n13 For we will destroy this place, because their cry is grown loud before the Lord, who hath sent us to destroy them.\n14 So Lot went out, and spoke to his sons in law that were to have his daughters, and said: Arise: get you out of this place, because the Lord will destroy this city. And he seemed to them to speak as it were in jest.\n15 And when it was morning, the angels pressed him, saying: Arise, take thy wife, and the two daughters which thou hast: lest thou also perish in the wickedness of the city.\n16 And as he lingered, they took his hand, and the hand of his wife, and of his two daughters, because the Lord spared him.\n17 And they brought him forth, and set him without the city: and there they spoke to him, saying: Save thy life: look not back, neither stay thou in all the country about: but save thyself in the mountain, lest thou be also consumed.\n18 And Lot said to them: I beseech thee my Lord,\n19 Because thy servant hath found grace before thee, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewn to me, in saving my life, and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil seize me, and I die:\n20 There is this city here at hand, to which I may flee, it is a little one, and I shall be saved in it: is it not a little one, and my soul shall live?\n21 And he said to him: Behold also in this, I have heard thy prayers, not to destroy the city for which thou hast spoken.\n22 Make haste and be saved there, because I cannot do any thing till thou go in thither. Therefore the name of that city was called Segor.\n23 The sun was risen upon the earth, and Lot entered into Segor.\n24 And the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.\n25 And he destroyed these cities, and all the country about, all the inhabitants of the cities, and all things that spring from the earth.\n26 And his wife looking behind her, was turned into a statue of salt.\n27 And Abraham got up early in the morning and in the place where he had stood before with the Lord,\n28 He looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha, and the whole land of that country: and he saw the ashes rise up from the earth as the smoke of a furnace.\n**29 Now when God destroyed the cities of that country, remembering Abraham, he delivered Lot out of the destruction of the cities wherein he had dwelt.**\n30 And Lot went up out of Segor, and abode in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, (for he was afraid to stay in Segor,) and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters with him.\n31 And the elder said to the younger Our father is old, and there is no man left on the earth, to come in unto us after the manner of the whole earth.\n32 Come, let us make him drunk with wine, and let us lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.\n33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the elder went in and lay with her father: but he perceived not neither when his daughter lay down, nor when she rose up.\n34 And the next day the elder said to the younger: Behold I lay last night with my father, let us make him drink wine also to night, and thou shalt lie with him, that we may save seed of our father.\n35 They made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in, and lay with him: and neither then did he perceive when she lay down, nor when she rose up.\n36 So the two daughters of Lot were with child by their father.\n37 And the elder bore a son, and she called his name Moab: he is the father of the Moabites unto this day.\n38 The younger also bore a son, and she called his name Ammon, that is, the son of my people: he is the father of the Ammonites unto this day.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Show me Isaiah 43:12", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**Old Testament**\n*Isaiah 43:12 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"I have declared, and have saved.

And one row had fifteen pillars,\n4 Set one against another,\n5 And looking one upon another, with equal space between the pillars, and over the pillars were square beams in all things equal.\n6 And he made a porch of pillars of fifty cubits in length, and thirty cubits in breadth: and another porch before the greater porch: and pillars, and chapiters upon the pillars.\n7 He made also the porch of the throne, wherein is the seat of judgment: and covered it with cedar wood from the floor to the top.\n8 And in the midst of the porch, was a small house where he sat in judgment, of the like work.

And I charged them that they should sell on a day on which it was lawful to sell.\n16 Some Tyrians also dwelt there, who brought fish, and all manner of wares: and they sold them on the sabbaths to the children of Juda in Jerusalem.\n17 And I rebuked the chief men of Juda, and said to them: What is this evil thing that you are doing, profaning the sabbath day?\n18 Did not our fathers do these things, and our God brought all this evil upon us, and upon this city? And you bring more wrath upon Israel by violating the sabbath.\n19 And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem were at rest on the sabbath day, I spoke: and they shut the gates, and I commanded that they should not open them till after the sabbath: and I set some of my servants at the gates, that none should bring in burthens on the sabbath day.\n**20 So the merchants, and they that sold all kinds of wares, stayed without Jerusalem once or twice.**\n21 And I charged them, and I said to them: Why stay you before the wall? if you do so another time, I will lay hands on you. And from that time they came no more on the sabbath.\n22 I spoke also to the Levites that they should be purified, and should come to keep the gates, and to sanctify the sabbath day: for this also remember me, O my God, and spare me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.\n23 In those days also I saw Jews that married wives, women of Azotus, and of Ammon, and of Moab.\n24 And their children spoke half in the speech of Azotus, and could not speak the Jews' language, but they spoke according to the language of this and that people.\n25 And I chid them, and laid my curse upon them. And I beat some of them, and shaved off their hair, and made them swear by God that they would not give their daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for their sons, nor for themselves, saying:\n26 Did not Solomon king of Israel sin in this kind of thing? and surely among many nations, there was not a king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: and yet women of other countries brought even him to sin.\n27 And shall we also be disobedient and do all this great evil to transgress against our God, and marry strange women?\n28 And one of the sons of Joiada the son of Eliasib the high priest, was son in law to Sanaballat the Horonite, and I drove him from me.\n29 Remember them, O Lord my God, that defile the priesthood, and the law of priests and Levites.\n30 So I separated from them all strangers, and I appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites, every man in his ministry:\n31 And for the offering of wood at times appointed, and for the firstfruits: remember me, O my God, unto good.

Go, and tell thy master: Elias is here.\n9 And he said: What have I sinned, that thou wouldst deliver me thy servant into the hand of Achab, that he should kill me?\n10 As the Lord thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when all answered: He is not here: he took an oath of every kingdom and nation, because thou wast not found.\n11 And now thou sayest to me: Go, and tell thy master: Elias is here.\n12 And when I am gone from thee, the spirit of the Lord will carry thee into a place that I know not: and I shall go in and tell Achab, and he not finding thee, will kill me: but thy servant feareth the Lord from his infancy.\n**13 Hath it not been told thee, my lord, what I did when Jezabel killed the prophets of the Lord, how I hid a hundred men of the prophets of the Lord, by fifty and fifty in caves, and fed them with bread and water?**\n14 And now thou sayest: Go, and tell thy master: Elias is here: that he may kill me.\n15 And Elias said: As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whose face I stand, this day I will shew myself unto him.\n16 Abdias therefore went to meet Achab, and told him: and Achab came to meet Elias.\n17 And when he had seen him, he said: Art thou he that troublest Israel?\n18 And he said: I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy father's house, who have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and have followed Baalim.\n19 Nevertheless send now, and gather unto me all Israel, unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, who eat at Jezabel's table.\n20 Achab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered together the prophets unto mount Carmel.\n21 And Elias coming to all the people, said: How long do you halt between two sides? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people did not answer him a word.\n22 And Elias said again to the people: I only remain a prophet of the Lord: but the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men.\n23 Let two bullocks be given us, and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces and lay it upon wood, but put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under it.\n24 Call ye on the names of your gods, and I will call on the name of my Lord: and the God that shall answer by fire, let him be God.

But there was no voice, nor any that answered: and they leaped over the altar that they had made.\n27 And when it was now noon, Elias jested at them, saying: Cry with a louder voice: for he is a God, and perhaps he is talking, or is in an inn, or on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep, and must be awaked.\n28 So they cried with a loud voice, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till they were all covered with blood.\n29 And after midday was past, and while they were prophesying, the time was come of offering sacrifice, and there was no voice heard, nor did any one answer, nor regard them as they prayed:\n30 Elias said to all the people: Come ye unto me.

And again he said: Do the same the second time. And when they had done it the second time, he said: Do the same also the third time. And they did so the third time.\n35 And the water run round about the altar, and the trench was filled with water.\n36 And when it was now time to offer the holocaust, Elias the prophet came near and said: O Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, shew this day that thou art the God of Israel, and I thy servant, and that according to thy commandment I have done all these things.\n37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me: that this people may learn, that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart again.\n38 Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the holocaust, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.\n39 And when all the people saw this, they fell on their faces, and they said: The Lord he is God, the Lord he is God.\n40 And Elias said to them: Take the prophets of Baal, and let not one of them escape. And when they had taken them, Elias brought them down to the torrent Cison, and killed them there.\n41 And Elias said to Achab: Go up, eat, and drink: for there is a sound of abundance of rain.\n42 Achab went up to eat and drink: and Elias went up to the top of Carmel, and casting himself down upon the earth put his face between his knees,\n43 And he said to his servant: Go up, and look toward the sea.

But the Moabites call them Emims.\n12 The Horrhites also formerly dwelt in Seir: who being driven out and destroyed, the children of Esau dwelt there, as Israel did in the land of his possession, which the Lord gave him.\n**13 Then rising up to pass the torrent Zared, we came to it.**\n14 And the time that we journeyed from Cadesbarne till we passed over the torrent Zared, was thirty-eight years: until all the generation of the men that were fit for war was consumed out of the camp, as the Lord had sworn:\n15 For his hand was against them, that they should perish from the midst of the camp.\n16 And after all the fighting men were dead,\n17 The Lord spoke to me, saying:\n18 Thou shalt pass this day the borders of Moab, the city named Ar:\n19 And when thou comest nigh the frontiers of the children of Ammon, take heed thou fight not against them, nor once move to battle: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon, because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.\n20 It was accounted a land of giants: and giants formerly dwelt in it, whom the Ammonites call Zomzommims,\n21 A people great and many, and of tall stature, like the Enacims whom the Lord destroyed before their face: and he made them to dwell in their stead,\n22 As he had done in favour of the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir, destroying the Horrhites, and delivering their land to them, which they possess to this day.\n23 The Hevites also, that dwelt in Haserim as far as Gaza, were expelled by the Cappadocians: who came out of Cappadocia, and destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.\n24 Arise ye, and pass the torrent Arnon: Behold I have delivered into thy hand Sehon king of Hesebon the Amorrhite, and begin thou to possess his land and make war against him.\n25 This day will I begin to send the dread and fear of thee upon the nations that dwell under the whole heaven: that when they hear thy name they may fear and tremble, and be in pain like women in travail.\n26 So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Cademoth to Sehon the king of Hesebon with peaceable words, saying:\n27 We will pass through thy land, we will go along by the highway: we will not turn aside neither to the right hand nor to the left.\n28 Sell us meat for money, that we may eat: give us water for money and so we will drink. We only ask that thou wilt let us pass through,\n29 As the children of Esau have done, that dwell in Seir, and the Moabites, that abide in Ar: until we come to the Jordan, and pass to the land which the Lord our God will give us.\n30 And Sehon the king of Hesebon would not let us pass: because the Lord thy God had hardened his spirit, and fixed his heart, that he might be delivered into thy hands, as now thou seest.\n31 And the Lord said to me: Behold I have begun to deliver unto thee Sehon and his land, begin to possess it.\n32 And Sehon came out to meet us with all his people to fight at Jasa.\n33 And the Lord our God delivered him to us: and we slew him with his sons and all his people.\n34 And we took all his cities at that time, killing the inhabitants of them, men and women and children. We left nothing of them:\n35 Except the cattle which came to the share of them that took them: and the spoils of the cities, which we took:\n36 From Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Amen, a town that is situate in a valley, as far as Galaad. There was not a village or city, that escaped our hands: the Lord our God delivered all unto us:\n37 Except the land of the children of Ammon, to which we approached not: and all that border upon the torrent Jeboc, and the cities in the mountains, and all the places which the Lord our God forbade us.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Quote from Ezekiel chapter 38, verse 15", "role": "user"

his hand, and all the people fought against Jerusalem and against all the cities thereof,) saying:\n2 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Go, and speak to Sedecias king of Juda, and say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.\n3 And thou shalt not escape out of his hand: but thou shalt surely be taken, and thou shalt be delivered into his hand: and thy eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak with thy mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.\n4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Sedecias king of Juda: Thus saith the Lord to thee: Thou shalt not die by the sword.\n5 But thou shalt die in peace, and according to the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings that were before thee, so shall they burn thee: and they shall mourn for thee, saying: Alas, Lord: for I have spoken the word, saith the Lord.\n6 And Jeremias the prophet spoke all these words to Sedecias the king of Juda in Jerusalem.\n7 And the army of the king of Babylon fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Juda that were left, against Lachis, and against Azecha: for these remained of the cities of Juda, fenced cities.\n8 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, after that king Sedecias had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem making a proclamation:\n9 That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, go free: and that they should not lord it over them, to wit, over the Jews their brethren.\n10 And all the princes, and all the people who entered into the covenant, heard that every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant go free, and should no more have dominion over them: and they obeyed, and let them go free.\n11 But afterwards they turned: and brought back again their servants and their handmaids, whom they had let go free, and brought them into subjection as menservants and maidservants.\n12 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:\n13 Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying:\n**14 At the end of seven years, let ye go every man his brother being a Hebrew, who hath been sold to thee, so

right in my eyes, in proclaiming liberty every one to his brother: and you made a covenant in my sight, in the house upon which my name is invocated.\n16 And you are fallen back, and have defiled my

Maccabees*, chapter *11*.\n\nHere's what the chapter says:\n*1 Maccabees Chapter 11*\n1 And the king of Egypt gathered together an army, like the sand that lieth upon the sea shore, and many ships: and he sought to get the kingdom of Alexander by deceit, and join it to his own kingdom.\n2 And he went out into Syria with peaceable words, and they opened to him the cities, and met him: for king Alexander had ordered them to go forth to meet him, because he was his father in law.\n3 Now when Ptolemee entered into the cities, he put garrisons of soldiers in every city.\n4 And when he came near to Azotus, they shewed him the temple of Dagon that was burnt with fire, and Azotus, and the suburbs thereof that were destroyed, and the bodies that were cast abroad, and the graves of them that were slain in the battle, which they had made near the way.\n5 And they told the king that Jonathan had done these things, to make him odious: but the king held his peace.\n6 And Jonathan came to meet the king at Joppe with glory, and they saluted one another, and they lodged there.\n7 And Jonathan went with the king as far as the river, called Eleutherus: and he returned into Jerusalem.\n8 And king Ptolemee got the dominion of the cities by the sea side, even to Seleucia, and he devised evil designs against Alexander.\n9 And he sent ambassadors to Demetrius, saying: Come, let us make a league between us, and I will give thee my daughter whom Alexander hath, and thou shalt reign in the kingdom of thy father.\n10 For I repent that I have given him my daughter: for he hath sought to kill me.\n11 And he slandered him, because he coveted his kingdom.\n12 And he took away his daughter, and gave her to Demetrius, and alienated himself from Alexander, and his enmities were made manifest.\n13 And Ptolemee entered into Antioch, and set two crowns upon his head, that of Egypt, and that of Asia.\n14 Now king Alexander was in Cilicia at that time: because they that were in those places had rebelled.\n15 And when Alexander heard of it, he came to give him battle, and king Ptolemee brought forth his army, and met him with a strong power, and put him to flight.\n16 And Alexander fled into Arabia, there to be protected: and king Ptolemee was exalted.\n17 And Zabdiel the Arabian took off Alexander's head, and sent it to Ptolemee.\n18 And king Ptolemee died the third day after: and they that were in the strong holds were destroyed by them that were within the camp.\n19 And Demetrius reigned in the hundred and sixty-seventh year.\n20 In those days Jonathan gathered together them that were in Judea, to take the castle that was in Jerusalem: and they made many engines of war against it.\n21 Then some wicked men that hated their own nation, went away to king Demetrius, and told him that Jonathan was besieging the castle.\n22 And when he heard it, he was angry: and forthwith he came to Ptolemais, and wrote to Jonathan, that he should not besiege the castle, but should come to him in haste, and speak to him.\n23 But when Jonathan heard this, he bade them besiege it still: and he chose some of the ancients of Israel, and of the priests, and put himself in danger.\n24 And he took gold, and silver, and raiment, and many other presents, and went to the king to Ptolemais, and he found favour in his sight.\n25 And certain wicked men of his nation made complaints against him.\n26 And the king treated him as his predecessor had done before: and he exalted him in the sight of all his friends.\n27 And he confirmed him in the high priesthood, and all the honours 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.\n**39 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.\n49 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",

Go, and now sin no more.\n12 Again therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the world: he that followeth me, walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life.\n13 The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou givest testimony of thyself: thy testimony is not true.\n14 Jesus answered, and said to them: Although I give testimony of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but you know not whence I come, or whither I go.\n15 You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man.\n16 And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.\n17 And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true.\n18 I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me.\n19 They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Neither me do you know, nor my Father: if you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.\n20 These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.\n21 Again therefore Jesus said to them: I go, and you shall seek me, and you shall die in your sin. Whither I go, you cannot come.\n22 The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go, you cannot come?\n23 And he said to them: You are from beneath, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world.\n24 Therefore I said to you, that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin.\n25 They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak unto you.\n26 Many things I have to speak and to judge of you. But he that sent me, is true: and the things I have heard of him, these same I speak in the world.\n27 And they understood not, that he called God his Father.\n28 Jesus therefore said to them: When you shall have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know, that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father hath taught me, these things I speak:\n29 And he that sent me, is with me, and he hath not left me alone: for I do always the things that please him.\n30 When he spoke these things, many believed in him.\n31 Then Jesus said to those Jews, who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed.\n32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.\n33 They answered him: We are the seed of Abraham, and we have never been slaves to any man: how sayest thou: you shall be free?\n34 Jesus answered them: Amen, amen I say unto you: that whosoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.\n35 Now the servant abideth not in the house for ever; but the son abideth for ever.\n36 If therefore the son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.\n37 I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.\n38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do the things that you have seen with your father.\n39 They answered, and said to him: Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them: If you be the children of Abraham, do the works of Abraham.\n40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who have spoken the truth to you, which I have heard of God. This Abraham did not.\n41 You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God.\n42 Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded, and came; for I came not of myself, but he sent me:\n43 Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.\n44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.\n45 But if I say the truth, you believe me not.\n46 Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me?\n47 He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.\n48 The Jews therefore answered, and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?\n49 Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father, and you have dishonoured me.\n50 But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.\n51 Amen, amen I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever.\n52 The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever.\n53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself?\n54 Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God.\n55 And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him, and do keep his word.\n56 Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad.\n57 The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?\n58 Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am.\n**59 They took up stones therefore to cast at him.

wilderness.\n19 And all the towns that belonged to himself, and were not walled, he fortified, the cities also of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and whatsoever he had a mind to build in

necessaries, that we may live, and not be consumed with want.\n3 So the ten brethren of Joseph went down, to buy corn in Egypt:\n4 Whilst Benjamin was kept at home by Jacob, who said to his brethren: Lest perhaps he take any harm in the journey.\n5 And they entered into the land of Egypt with others that went to buy. For the famine was in the land of Chanaan.\n6 And Joseph was governor in the land of Egypt, and corn was sold by his direction to the people. And when his brethren had bowed down to him,\n7 And he knew them, he spoke as it were to strangers somewhat roughly, asking them: Whence came you? They answered: From the land of Chanaan, to buy necessaries of life.\n8 And though he knew his brethren, he was not known by them.\n9 And remembering the dreams, which formerly he had dreamed, he said to them: You are spies. You are come to view the weaker parts of the land.\n10 But they said: It is not so, my lord, but thy servants are come to buy food.\n11 We are all the sons of one man: we are come as peaceable men, neither do thy servants go about any evil.\n12 And he answered them: It is otherwise: you are come to consider the unfenced parts of this land.\n13 But they said: We thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Chanaan: the youngest is with our father, the other is not living.\n14 He saith: This is it that I said: You are spies.\n15 I shall now presently try what you are: by the health of Pharao you shall not depart hence, until your youngest brother come.\n16 Send one of you to fetch him: and you shall be in prison, till what you have said be proved, whether it be true or false: or else by the health of Pharao you are spies.\n**17 So he put them in prison three days.**\n18 And the third day he brought them out of prison, and said: Do as I have said, and you shall live: for I fear God.\n19 If you be peaceable men, let one of your brethren be bound in prison: and go ye your ways and carry the corn that you have bought, unto your houses.\n20 And bring your youngest brother to me, that I may find your words to be true, and you may not die. They did as he had said.\n21 And they talked one to another: We deserve to suffer these things, because we have sinned against our brother, seeing the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear: therefore is this affliction come upon us.\n22 And Ruben one of them, said: Did not I say to you: Do not sin against the boy: and you would not hear me? Behold his blood is required.\n23 And they knew not that Joseph understood, because he spoke to them by an interpreter.\n24 And he turned himself away a little while, and wept: and returning he spoke to them.\n25 And taking Simeon, and binding him in their presence, he commanded his servants to fill their sacks with wheat, and to put every man's money again in their sacks, and to give them besides provisions for the way: and they did so.\n26 But they having loaded their asses with the corn, went their way.\n27 And one of them opening his sack, to give his beast provender in the inn, saw the money in the sack's mouth;\n28 And said to his brethren: My money is given me again, behold it is in the sack.

For he had forsaken the Lord the God of his fathers:\n11 Moreover he built also high places in the cities of Juda, and he made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and Juda to transgress.\n12 And there was a letter brought him from Elias the prophet, in which it was written: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Josaphat thy father nor in the ways of Asa king of Juda,\n13 But hast walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and hast made Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, imitating the fornication of the house of Achab, moreover also thou hast killed thy brethren, the house of thy father, better men than thyself,\n14 Behold the Lord will strike thee with a great plague, with all thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance.\n15 And thou shalt be sick of a very grievous disease of thy bowels, till thy vital parts come out by little and little every day.\n16 And the Lord stirred up against Joram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who border on the Ethiopians.\n17 And they came up into the land of Juda, and wasted it, and they carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, his sons also, and his wives: so that there was no son left him but Joachaz, who was the youngest.\n18 And besides all this the Lord struck him with an incurable disease in his bowels.\n19 And as day came after day, and time rolled on, two whole years passed: then after being wasted with a long consumption, so as to void his very bowels, his disease ended with his life.

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. Therefore fear them not.\n23 The gold also which they have, is for shew, but except a man wipe off the rust, they will not shine: for neither when they were molten, did they feel it.\n24 Men buy them at a high price, whereas there is no breath in them.\n25 And having not the use of feet they are carried upon shoulders, declaring to men how vile they are.

If a man make a vow to them, and perform it not, they cannot require it.\n35 They cannot deliver a man from death nor save the weak from the mighty.\n36 They cannot restore the blind man to his sight: nor deliver a man from distress.\n37 They shall not pity the widow, nor do good to the fatherless.\n38 Their gods, of wood, and of stone, and of gold, and of silver, are like the stones that are hewn out of the mountains: and they that worship them shall be confounded.\n39 How then is it to be supposed, or to be said, that they are gods?\n40 Even the Chaldeans themselves dishonour them: who when they hear of one dumb that cannot speak, they present him to Bel, entreating him, that he may speak,\n41 As though they could be sensible that have no motion themselves: and they, when they shall perceive this, will leave them: for their gods themselves have no sense.\n42 The women also with cords about them, sit in the ways, burning olive stones.\n43 And when any one of them, drawn away by some passenger, lieth with him, she upbraideth her neighbour, that she was not thought as worthy as herself, nor her cord broken.\n44 But all things that are done about them, are false: how is it then to be thought, or to be said, that they are gods?\n45 And they are made by workmen, and by goldsmiths. They shall be nothing else but what the priests will have them to be.\n46 For the artificers themselves that make them, are of no long continuance. 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.\n49 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.

In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would.\n12 And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost.\n13 They gathered up therefore, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten.\n14 Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet, that is to come into the world.\n15 Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force, and make him king, fled again into the mountain himself alone.\n16 And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea.\n17 And when they had gone up into a ship, they went over the sea to Capharnaum; and it was now dark, and Jesus was not come unto them.\n18 And the sea arose, by reason of a great wind that blew.\n19 When they had rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship, and they were afraid.\n20 But he saith to them: It is I; be not afraid.\n21 They were willing therefore to take him into the ship; and presently the ship was at the land to which they were going.\n22 The next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea, saw that there was no other ship there but one, and that Jesus had not entered into the ship with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone.\n23 But other ships came in from Tiberias; nigh unto the place where they had eaten the bread, the Lord giving thanks.\n24 When therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they took shipping, and came to Capharnaum, seeking for Jesus.\n25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him: Rabbi, when camest thou hither?\n26 Jesus answered them, and said: Amen, amen I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled.\n27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. For him hath God, the Father, sealed.\n28 They said therefore unto him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?\n29 Jesus answered, and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he hath sent.\n30 They said therefore to him: What sign therefore dost thou shew, that we may see, and may believe thee? What dost thou work?\n31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.\n32 Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you; Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.\n33 For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.\n34 They said therefore unto him: Lord, give us always this bread.\n35 And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst.\n36 But I said unto you, that you also have seen me, and you believe not.\n37 All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out.\n38 Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.\n39 Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day.\n40 And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth in him, may have life everlasting, and I will raise him up in the last day.\n41 The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the living bread which came down from heaven.\n42 And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then saith he, I came down from heaven?\n43 Jesus therefore answered, and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves.\n44 No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up in the last day.\n45 It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to me.\n46 Not that any man hath seen the Father; but he who is of God, he hath seen the Father.\n47 Amen, amen I say unto you: He that believeth in me, hath everlasting life.\n48 I am the bread of life.\n49 Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead.\n50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven; that if any man eat of it, he may not die.\n51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven.\n52 If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world.\n53 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?\n54 Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.\n55 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.\n56 For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.\n57 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him.\n58 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me.\n59 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever.\n60 These things he said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capharnaum.\n61 Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard, and who can hear it?\n62 But Jesus, knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you?\n63 If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?\n64 It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you, are spirit and life.\n65 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who he was, that would betray him.\n66 And he said: Therefore did I say to you, that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father.\n67 After this many of his disciples went back; and walked no more with him.\n68 Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away?\n69 And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.\n70 And we have believed and have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.\n**71 Jesus answered them: Have not I chosen you twelve; and one of you is a devil?**\n72 Now he meant Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for this same was about to betray him, whereas he was one of the twelve.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's

And when they saw the lands of Jazer and Galaad fit for feeding cattle,\n2 They came to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and the princes of the multitude, and said:\n3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nemra, Hesebon, and Eleale, and Saban, and Nebo, and Beon,\n4 The land, which the Lord hath conquered in the sight of the children of Israel, is a very fertile soil for the feeding of beasts: and we thy servants have very much cattle:\n5 And we pray thee, if we have found favour in thy sight, that thou give it to us thy servants in possession, and make us not pass over the Jordan.\n6 And Moses answered them: What, shall your brethren go to fight, and will you sit here?\n7 Why do ye overturn the minds of the children of Israel, that they may not dare to pass into the place which the Lord hath given them?\n8 Was it not thus your fathers did, when I sent from Cadesbarne to view the land?\n9 And when they were come as far as the valley of the cluster, having viewed all the country, they overturned the hearts of the children of Israel, that they should not enter into the coasts, which the Lord gave them.\n10 And he swore in his anger, saying:\n11 If these men, that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land, which I promised with an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: because they would not follow me,\n12 Except Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite, and Josue the son of Nun: these have fulfilled my will.\n13 And the Lord being angry against Israel, led them about through the desert forty years, until the whole generation, that had done evil in his sight, was consumed.\n14 And behold, said he, you are risen up instead of your fathers, the increase and offspring of sinful men, to augment the fury of the Lord against Israel.\n15 For if you will not follow him, he will leave the people in the wilderness, and you shall be the cause of the destruction of all.\n16 But they coming near, said: We will make sheepfolds, and stalls for our cattle, and strong cities for our children:\n17 And we ourselves will go armed and ready for battle before the children of Israel, until we bring them in unto their places. Our little ones, and all we have, shall be in walled cities, for fear of the ambushes of the inhabitants.\n18 We will not return into our houses until the children of Israel possess their inheritance:\n19 Neither will we seek any thing beyond the Jordan, because we have already our possession on the east side thereof,\n20 And Moses said to them: If you do what you promise, go on well appointed for war before the Lord:\n21 And let every fighting man pass over the Jordan, until the Lord overthrow his enemies:\n22 And all the land be brought under him, then shall you be blameless before the Lord and before Israel, and you shall obtain the countries that you desire, before the Lord.\n23 But if you do not what you say, no man can doubt but you sin against God: and know ye, that your sin shall overtake you.\n24 Build therefore cities for your children, and folds and stalls for your sheep and beasts, and accomplish what you have promised.\n25 And the children of Gad and Ruben said to Moses: We are thy servants, we will do what my lord commandeth.\n26 We will leave our children, and our wives and sheep and cattle, in the cities of Galaad:\n27 And we thy servants all well appointed will march on to the war, as thou, my lord, speakest.\n28 Moses therefore commanded Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun, and the princes of the families of all the tribes of Israel, and said to them:\n29 If the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben pass with you over the Jordan, all armed for war before the Lord, and the land be made subject to you: give them Galaad in possession.\n30 But if they will not pass armed with you into the land of Chanaan, let them receive places to dwell in among you.\n31 And the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben answered: As the Lord hath spoken to his servants, so will we do:\n32 We will go armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and we confess that we have already received our possession beyond the Jordan.\n33 Moses therefore gave to the children of Cad and of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasses the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, and their land and the cities thereof round about.\n34 And the sons of Cad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,\n35 And Etroth, and Sophan, and Jazer, and Jegbaa,\n36 And Bethnemra, and Betharan, fenced cities, and folds for their cattle.\n37 But the children of Ruben built Hesebon, and Eleale, and Cariathaim,\n**38 And Nabo, and Baalmeon (their names being changed) and Sabama: giving names to the cities which they had built.**\n39 Moreover the children of Machir, the son of Manasses, went into Galaad, and wasted it, cutting off the Amorrhites, the inhabitants thereof.\n40 And Moses gave the land of Galaad to Machir the son of Manasses, and he dwelt in it.\n41 And Jair the son of Manasses went, and took the villages thereof, and he called them Havoth Jair, that is to say, the villages of Jair.\n42 Nobe also went, and took Canath with the villages thereof: and he called it by his own name, Nobe.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you tell me the book and chapter for \"Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you've got in mind is from *Psalm*, chapter *33*.\n\nHere's the full rundown of the chapter:\n*Psalm Chapter 33*\n1 For David, when he changed his countenance before Achimelech, who dismissed him, and he went his way.

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.

Let only Rahab the harlot live, with all that are with her in the house: for she hid the messengers whom we sent.\n18 But beware ye lest you touch ought of those things that are forbidden, and you be guilty of transgression, and all the camp of Israel be under sin, and be troubled.\n19 But whatsoever gold or silver there shall be, or vessels of brass and iron, let it be consecrated to the Lord, laid up in his treasures.\n20 So all the people making a shout, and the trumpets sounding, when the voice and the sound thundered in the ears of the multitude, the walls forthwith fell down: and every man went up by the place that was over against him: and they took the city,\n21 And killed all that were in it, man and woman, young and old.

And he: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.\n6 And he trembling and astonished, said: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?\n7 And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the city, and there it shall be told thee what thou must do. Now the men who went in company with him, stood amazed, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no man.\n8 And Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. But they leading him by the hands, brought him to Damascus.\n9 And he was there three days, without sight, and he did neither eat nor drink.\n10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. 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.

Here it is:\n*1 Kings Chapter 13*\n1 And behold there came a man of God out of Juda, by the word of the Lord to Bethel, when Jeroboam was standing upon the altar, and burning incense.\n2 And he cried out against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said: O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord: Behold a child shall be born to the house of David, Josias by name, and he shall immolate upon thee the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon thee, and he shall burn men's bones upon thee.\n3 And he gave a sign the same day, saying: This shall be the sign, that the Lord hath spoken: Behold the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.\n4 And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried out against the altar in Bethel, he stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying: Lay hold on him. And his hand which he stretched forth against him withered: and he was not able to draw it back again to him.\n5 The altar also was rent, and the ashes were poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given before in the word of the Lord.\n6 And the king said to the man of God: Entreat the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me. 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.\n**11 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? His sons shewed him the way by which the man of God went, who came out of Juda.\n13 And he said to his sons: Saddle me the ass. And when they had saddled him, he got up,\n14 And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under a turpentine tree: and he said to him: Art thou the man of God that camest from Juda? He answered: I am.\n15 And he said to him: Come home with me, to eat bread.\n16 But he said: I must not return, nor go with thee, neither will I eat bread, nor drink water in this place:\n17 Because the Lord spoke to me in the word of the Lord, saying: Thou shalt not eat bread, and thou shalt not drink water there, nor return by the way thou wentest.\n18 He said to him: I also am a prophet like unto thee: and an angel spoke to me in the word of the Lord, saying: Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread, and drink water. He deceived him,\n19 And brought him back with him: so he ate bread and drank water in his house.\n20 And as they sat at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet that brought him back:\n21 And he cried out to the man of God who came out of Juda, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Because thou hast not been obedient to the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee,\n22 And hast returned and eaten bread, and drunk water in the place wherein he commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat bread, nor drink water, thy dead body shall not be brought into the sepulchre of thy fathers.\n23 And when he had eaten and drunk, he saddled his ass for the prophet, whom he had brought back.\n24 And when he was gone, a lion found him in the way, and killed him, and his body was cast in the way: and the ass stood by him, and the lion stood by the dead body.\n25 And behold, men passing by saw the dead body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body. And they came and told it in the city, wherein that old prophet dwelt.\n26 And when that prophet, who had brought him back out of the way, heard of it, he said: It is the man of God, that was disobedient to the mouth of the Lord, and the Lord hath delivered him to the lion, and he hath torn him, and killed him according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to him.\n27 And he said to his sons: Saddle me an ass. And when they had saddled it,\n28 And he was gone, he found the dead body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten of the dead body, nor hurt the ass.\n29 And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and going back brought it into the city of the old prophet, to mourn for him.\n30 And he laid his dead body in his own sepulchre: and they mourned over him, saying: Alas! alas! my brother.\n31 And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: When I am dead, bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried: lay my bones beside his bones.\n32 For assuredly the word shall come to pass which he hath foretold in the word of the Lord against the altar that is in Bethel: and against all the temples of the high places, that are in the cities of Samaria.\n33 After these words Jeroboam came not back from his wicked way: but on the contrary he made of the meanest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he filled his hand, and he was made a priest of the high places.\n34 And for this cause did the house of Jeroboam sin, and was cut off and destroyed from the face of the earth.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you tell me the book, chapter, and verse for \"But as it becometh women professing godliness, with good works.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the New Testament, the book of 1 Timothy, chapter 2, verse 10 states: \"But as it becometh women professing godliness, with good works.\".", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Recite 2 Chronicles 30:18", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**Old Testament**\n*2 Chronicles 30:18 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"For a great part of the people from Ephraim, and Manasses, and Issachar, and Zabulon, that had not been sanctified, ate the phase otherwise than it is written: and Ezechias prayed for them, saying: The Lord who is good will shew mercy,\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "2 Maccabees 4:3", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From 2 Maccabees chapter 4, verse 3, Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"But when the enmities proceeded so far, that murders also were committed by some of Simon's friends:\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and what chapter and verse include \"And whether it be evil that one doth unto them, or good, they are not able to recompense it: neither can they set up a king nor put him down:\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Old Testament, the book of Baruch, chapter 6, verse 33 states: \"And whether it be evil that one doth unto them, or good, they are not able to recompense it: neither can they set up a king nor put him down:\".", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book should I look at for \"The salutation of Paul with my own hand.

And it was told him, that she was Bethsabee the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urias the Hethite.\n4 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:\n5 And she returned to her house having conceived. And she sent and told David, and said: I have conceived.\n6 And David sent to Joab, saying: Send me Urias the Hethite. And Joab sent Urias to David.\n7 And Urias came to David. And David asked how Joab did, and the people, and how the war was carried on.\n8 And David said to Urias: Go into thy house, and wash thy feet. And Urias went out from the king's house, and there went out after him a mess of meat from the king.\n9 But Urias slept before the gate of the king's house, with the other servants of his lord, and went not down to his own house.\n10 And it was told David by some that said: Urias went not to his house. And David said to Urias: Didst thou not come from thy journey? why didst thou not go down to thy house?\n11 And Urias said to David: The ark of God and Israel and Juda dwell in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord abide upon the face of the earth: and shall I go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to sleep with my wife? By thy welfare and by the welfare of thy soul I will not do this thing.\n12 Then David said to Urias: Tarry here to day, and to morrow I will send thee away. Urias tarried in Jerusalem that day and the next.\n13 And David called him to eat and to drink before him, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening, and slept on his couch with the servants of his lord, and went not down into his house.\n14 And when the morning was come, David wrote a letter to Joab: and sent it by the hand of Urias,\n15 Writing in the letter: Set ye Urias in the front of the battle, where the fight is strongest: and leave ye him, that he may be wounded and die.\n16 Wherefore as Joab was besieging the city, he put Urias in the place where he knew the bravest men were.\n17 And the men coming out of the city, fought against Joab, and there fell some of the people of the servants of David, and Urias the Hethite was killed also.\n**18 Then Joab sent, and told David all things concerning the battle.**\n19 And he charged the messenger, saying: When thou hast told all the words of the battle to the king,\n20 If thou see him to be angry, and he shall say: Why did you approach so near to the wall to fight? knew you not that many darts are thrown from above off the wall?\n21 Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, and slew him in Thebes?

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 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,

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

And he rebelled against the king of the Assyrians, and served him not.\n8 He smote the Philistines as far as Gaza, and all their borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.\n9 In the fourth year of king Ezechias, which was the seventh year of Osee the son of Ela king of Israel, Salmanasar king of the Assyrians came up to Samaria, and besieged it,\n10 And took it. For after three years, in the sixth year of Ezechias, that is, in the ninth year of Osee king of Israel, Samaria was taken:\n11 And the king of the Assyrians carried away Israel into Assyria, and placed them in Hale, and in Habor by the rivers of Gozan in the cities of the Medes:\n12 Because they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord their God, but transgressed his covenant: all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded, they would not hear nor do.\n13 In the fourteenth year of king Ezechias, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came up against the fenced cities of Juda: and took them.\n14 Then Ezechias king of Juda sent messengers to the king of the Assyrians to Lachis, saying: I have offended, depart from me: and all that thou shalt put upon me, I will bear. And the king of the Assyrians put a tax upon Ezechias king of Juda, of three hundred talents of silver, and thirty talents of gold.\n15 And Ezechias gave all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the king's treasures.\n16 At that time Ezechias broke the doors of the temple of the Lord, and the plates of gold which he had fastened on them, and gave them to the king of the Assyrians.\n17 And the king of the Assyrians sent Tharthan and Rabsaris, and Rabsaces from Lachis to king Ezechias with a strong army to Jerusalem: and they went up and came to Jerusalem, and they stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the way of the fuller's field.\n18 And they called for the king: and there went out to them Eliacim the son of Helcias who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and Joahe the son of Asaph the recorder.\n19 And Rabsaces said to them: Speak to Ezechias: Thus saith the great king, the king of the Assyrians: What is this confidence, wherein thou trustest?\n20 Perhaps thou hast taken counsel, to prepare thyself for battle.

But thou art a wise man, and knowest what to do with him, and thou shalt bring down his grey hairs with blood to hell.\n10 So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.\n11 And the days that David reigned in Israel, were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, in Jerusalem thirty-three.\n12 And Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was strengthened exceedingly.\n13 And Adonias the son of Haggith came to Bethsabee the mother of Solomon.

And he said:**\n15 Thou knowest that the kingdom was nine, and all Israel had preferred me to be their king: but the kingdom is transferred, and is become my brother's: for it was appointed him by the Lord.\n16 Now therefore I ask one petition of thee: turn not away my face. And she said to him: Say on.\n17 And he said: I pray thee speak to king Solomon (for he cannot deny thee any thing) to give me Abisag the Sunamitess to wife.\n18 And Bethsabee said: Well, I will speak for thee to the king.\n19 Then Bethsabee came to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonias: and the king arose to meet her, and bowed to her, and sat down upon his throne: and a throne was set for the king's mother, and she sat on his right hand.\n20 And she said to him: I desire one small petition of thee, do not put me to confusion. And the king said to her: My mother, ask: for I must not turn away thy face.\n21 And she said: Let Abisag the Sunamitess be given to Adonias thy brother to wife.\n22 And king Solomon answered, and said to his mother: Why dost thou ask Abisag the Sunamitess for Adonias? ask for him also the kingdom: for he is my elder brother, and hath Abiathar the priest, and Joab the son of Sarvia.\n23 Then king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: So and so may God do to me, and add more, if Adonias hath not spoken this word against his own life.\n24 And now as the Lord liveth, who hath established me, and placed me upon the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he promised, Adonias shall be put to death this day.\n25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Banaias the son of Joiada, who slew him, and he died.\n26 And the king said also to Abiathar the priest: Go to Anathoth to thy lands, for indeed thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst carry the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and hast endured trouble in all the troubles my father endured.\n27 So Solomon cast out Abiathar, from being the priest of the Lord, that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke concerning the house of Deli in Silo.\n28 And the news came to Joab, because Joab had turned after Adonias, and had not turned after Solomon: and Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord and laid hold on the horn of the altar.\n29 And it was told king Solomon, that Joab was fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and was by the altar: and Solomon sent Banaias the son of Joiada, saying: Go, kill him.\n30 And Banaias came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said to him: Thus saith the king: Come forth.

Banaias brought word back to the king, saying: Thus saith Joab, and thus he answered me.\n31 And the king said to him: Do as he hath said: and kill him, and bury him, and thou shalt remove the innocent blood which hath been shed by Joab, from me, and from the house of my father.\n32 And the Lord shall return his blood upon his own head, because he murdered two men, just and better than himself: and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing it, Abner the son of Ner, general of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, general of the army of Juda.\n33 And their blood shall return the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever.

as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name.\n13 Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.\n14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.\n15 John beareth witness of him, and crieth out, saying: This was he of whom I spoke: He that shall come after me, is preferred before me: because he was before me.\n16 And of his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.\n17 For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.\n18 No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.\n19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites to him, to ask him: Who art thou?\n20 And he confessed, and did not deny: and he confessed: I am not the Christ.\n21 And they asked him: What then? Art thou Elias? And he said: I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered: No.\n22 They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? What sayest thou of thyself?\n23 He said: I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaias.\n24 And they that were sent, were of the Pharisees.\n25 And they asked him, and said to him: Why then dost thou baptize, if thou be not Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?\n26 John answered them, saying: I baptize with water; but there hath stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not.\n27 The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose.\n28 These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.\n29 The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him, and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world.\n30 This is he, of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me: because he was before me.\n31 And I knew him not, but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.\n32 And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven, and he remained upon him.\n33 And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize with water, said to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.\n34 And I saw, and I gave testimony, that this is the Son of God.\n35 The next day again John stood, and two of his disciples.\n36 And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God.\n37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.\n38 And Jesus turning, and seeing them following him, saith to them: What seek you? Who said to him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?\n39 He saith to them: Come and see. They came, and saw where he abode, and they stayed with him that day: now it was about the tenth hour.\n**40 And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard of John, and followed him.**\n41 He findeth first his brother Simon, and saith to him: We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.\n42 And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looking upon him, said: Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted Peter.\n43 On the following day, he would go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him: Follow me.\n44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.\n45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth.\n46 And Nathanael said to him: Can any thing of good come from Nazareth? Philip saith to him: Come and see.\n47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him: and he saith of him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile.\n48 Nathanael saith to him: Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered, and said to him: Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.\n49 Nathanael answered him, and said: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.\n50 Jesus answered, and said to him: Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believest: greater things than these shalt thou see.\n51 And he saith to him: Amen, amen I say to you, you shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "In what book, at what chapter and verse, does \"Again therefore Jesus said to them: I go, and you shall seek me, and you shall die in your sin.

pass, when the nations round about heard that the altar and the sanctuary were built up as before, that they were exceeding angry.\n2 And they thought to destroy the generation of Jacob that were among them, and they began to kill some of the people, and to persecute them.\n3 Then Judas fought against the children of Esau in Idumea, and them that were in Acrabathane: because they beset the Israelites around about, and he made a great slaughter of them.\n4 And he remembered the malice of the children of Bean: who were a snare and a stumblingblock to the people, by lying in wait for them in the way.\n5 And they were shut up by him in towers, and he set upon them, and devoted them to utter destruction, and burnt their towers with fire, and all that were in them.\n6 Then he passed over to the children of Ammon, where he found a mighty power, and much people, and Timotheus was their captain:\n7 And he fought many battles with them, and they were discomfited in their sight, and he smote them:\n8 And he took the city of Gazer and her towns, and returned into Judea.\n9 And the Gentiles that were in Galaad, assembled themselves together against the Israelites that were in their quarters to destroy them: and they fled into the fortress of Datheman.\n10 And they sent letters to Judas and his brethren, saying, The heathens that are round about are gathered together against us, to destroy us:\n11 And they are preparing to come, and to take the fortress into which we are fled: and Timotheus is the captain of their host.\n12 Now therefore come, and deliver us out of their hands, for many of us are slain.\n13 And all our brethren that were in the places of Tubin, are killed: and they have carried away their wives, and their children, captives, and taken their spoils, and they have slain there almost a thousand men.\n14 And while they were yet reading these letters, behold there came other messengers out of Galilee with their garments rent, who related according to these words:\n15 Saying, that they of Ptolemais, and of Tyre, and of Sidon, were assembled against them, and all Galilee is filled with strangers, in order to consume us.\n16 Now when Judas and all the people heard these words, a great assembly met together to consider what they should do for their brethren that were in trouble, and were assaulted by them.\n17 And Judas said to Simon his brother: Choose thee men, and go, and deliver thy brethren in Galilee: and I, and my brother Jonathan will go into the country of Galaad.\n18 And he left Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias captains of the people with the remnant of the army in Judea to keep it:\n19 And he commanded them, saying: Take ye the charge of this people: but make no war against the heathens, till we return.\n20 Now three thousand men were allotted to Simon, to go into Galilee: and eight thousand to Judas to go into the land of Galaad.\n21 And Simon went into Galilee, and fought many battles with the heathens: and the heathens were discomfited before his face, and he pursued them even to the gate of Ptolemais.\n22 And there fell of the heathens almost three thousand men, and he took the spoils of them,\n23 And he took with him those that were in Galilee and in Arbatis with their wives, and children, and all that they had, and he brought them into Judea with great joy.\n24 And Judas Machabeus, and Jonathan his brother passed over the Jordan, and went three days' journey through the desert.\n25 And the Nabutheans met them, and received them in a peaceable manner, and told them all that happened to their brethren in the land of Galaad,\n26 And that many of them were shut up in Barasa, and in Bosor, and in Alima, and in Casphor, and in Mageth, and in Carnaim: all these strong and great cities.\n27 Yea, and that they were kept shut up in the rest of the cities of Galaad, and that they had appointed to bring their army on the morrow near to these cities, and to take them and to destroy them all in one day.\n28 Then Judas and his army suddenly turned their march into the desert, to Bosor, and took the city: and he slew every male by the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burnt it with fire.\n29 And they removed from thence by night, and went till they came to the fortress.\n30 And it came to pass that early in the morning, when they lifted up their eyes, behold there were people without number, carrying ladders and engines to take the fortress, and assault them.\n31 And Judas saw that the fight was begun, and the cry of the battle went up to heaven like a trumpet, and a great cry out of the city:\n32 And he said to his host: Fight ye to day for your brethren.\n33 And he came with three companies behind them, and they sounded their trumpets, and cried out in prayer.\n34 And the host of Timotheus understood that it was Machabeus, and they fled away before his face: and they made a great slaughter of them: and there fell of them in that day almost eight thousand men.\n35 And Judas turned aside to Maspha, and assaulted, and took it, and he slew every male thereof, and took the spoils thereof, and burnt it with fire.\n36 From thence he marched, and took Casbon, and Mageth, and Bosor, and the rest of the cities of Galaad.\n37 But after this Timotheus gathered another army, and camped over against Raphon beyond the torrent.\n38 And Judas sent men to view the army: and they brought him word, saying: All the nations, that are round about us, are assembled unto him an army exceeding great:\n39 And they have hired the Arabians to help them, and they have pitched their tents beyond the torrent, ready to come to fight against thee. And Judas went to meet them.\n40 And Timotheus said to the captains of his army: When Judas and his army come near the torrent of water, if he pass over unto us first, we shall not be able to withstand him: for he will certainly prevail over us.\n41 But if he be afraid to pass over, and camp on the other side of the river, we will pass over to them and shall prevail against him.\n42 Now when Judas came near the torrent of water, he set the scribes of the people by the torrent, and commanded them, saying: Suffer no man to stay behind: but let all come to the battle.\n43 And he passed over to them first, and all the people after him, and all the heathens were discomfited before them, and they threw away their weapons, and fled to the temple that was in Carnaim.\n44 And he took that city, and the temple he burnt with fire, with all things that were therein: and Carnaim was subdued, and could not stand against the face of Judas.\n**45 And Judas gathered together all the Israelites that were in the land of Galaad, from the least even to the greatest, and their wives, and children, and an army exceeding great, to come into the land of Juda.**\n46 And they came as far as Ephron: now this was a great city situate in the way, strongly fortified, and there was no means to turn from it on the right hand or on the left, but the way was through the midst of it.\n47 And they that were in the city, shut themselves in, and stopped up the gates with stones: and Judas sent to them with peaceable words,\n48 Saying: Let us pass through your land, to go into our country: and no man shall hurt you: we will only pass through on foot.

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.

Why will you add to our sins, and heap up upon our former offences? for the sin is great, and the fierce anger of the Lord hangeth over Israel.\n14 So the soldiers left the spoils, and all that they had taken, before the princes and all the multitude.\n15 And the men, whom we mentioned above, rose up and took the captives, and with the spoils clothed all them that were naked: and when they had clothed and shed them, and refreshed them with meat and drink, and anointed them because of their labour, and had taken care of them, they set such of them as could not walk, and were feeble, upon beasts, and brought them to Jericho the city of palm trees to their brethren, and they returned to Samaria.\n16 At that time king Achaz sent to the king of the Assyrians asking help.\n17 And the Edomites came and slew many of Juda, and took a great booty.\n18 The Philistines also spread themselves among the cities of the plains, and to the south of Juda: and they took Bethsames, and Aialon, and Gaderoth, and Socho, and Thamnan, and Gamzo, with their villages, and they dwelt in them.\n19 For the Lord had humbled Juda because of Achaz the king of Juda, for he had stripped it of help, and had contemned the Lord.\n20 And he brought, against him Thelgathphalnasar king of the Assyrians, who also afflicted him, and plundered him without any resistance.\n21 And Achaz stripped the house of the Lord, and the house of the kings, and of the princes, and gave gifts to the king of the Assyrians, and yet it availed him nothing.\n22 Moreover also in the time of his distress he increased contempt against the Lord: king Achaz himself by himself,\n23 Sacrificed victims to the gods of Damascus that struck him, and he said: The gods of the kings of Syria help them, and I will appease them with victims, and they will help me; whereas on the contrary they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.\n24 Then Achaz having taken away all the vessels of the house of God, and broken them, shut up the doors of the temple of God, and made himself altars in all the corners of Jerusalem.\n25 And in all the cities of Juda he built altars to burn frankincense, and he provoked the Lord the God of his fathers to wrath.\n**26 But the rest of his acts, and all his works first and last are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.**\n27 And Achaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of Jerusalem: for they received him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel.

Tell me, what hast thou in thy house? And she answered: I thy handmaid have nothing in my house but a little oil, to anoint me.\n3 And he said to her: Go, borrow of all thy neighbours empty vessels not a few.\n4 And go in, and shut thy door, when thou art within, and thy sons: and pour out thereof into all those vessels: and when they are full take them away.\n5 So the woman went, and shut the door upon her, and upon her sons: they brought her the vessels, and she poured in.\n6 And when the vessels were full, she said to her son: Bring me yet a vessel. And he answered: I have no more. And the oil stood.\n7 And she came, and told the man of God. And he said: Go, sell the oil, and pay thy creditor: and thou and thy sons live of the rest.\n8 And there was a day when Eliseus passed by Sunam: now there was a great woman there, who detained him to eat bread; and as he passed often that way, he turned into her house to eat bread.\n9 And she said to her husband: I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who often passeth by us.\n10 Let us therefore make him a little chamber, and put a little bed in it for him, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick, that when he cometh to us, he may abide there.\n11 Now there was a certain day when he came and turned in to the chamber, and rested there.\n12 And he said to Giezi his servant Call this Sunamitess. And when he had called her, and she stood before him,\n13 He said to his servant: Say to her Behold thou hast diligently served us in all things, what wilt thou have me to do for thee? hast thou any business, and wilt thou that I speak to the king, or to the general of the army? And she answered: I dwell in the midst of my own people.\n14 And he said: What will she then that I do for her? And Giezi said: Do not ask, for she hath no son, and her husband is old.\n15 Then he bid him call her: And when she was called, and stood before the door.\n16 He said to her: At this time, and this same hour, if life accompany, thou shalt have a son in thy womb. But she answered: Do not, I beseech thee, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid.\n17 And the woman conceived, and brought forth a son in the time, and at the same hour, that Eliseus had said.\n18 And the child grew. And on a certain day, when he went out to his father to the reapers,\n19 He said to his father: My head acheth, my head acheth. But he said to his servant: Take him, and carry him to his mother.\n20 And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, she set him on her knees until noon, and then he died.\n21 And she went up and laid him upon the bed of the man of God, and shut the door: and going out,\n22 She called her husband, and said: Send with me, I beseech thee, one of thy servants, and an ass that I may run to the man of God, and come again.\n23 And he said to her: Why dost thou go to him? to day is neither new moon nor sabbath. She answered: I will go.\n24 And she saddled an ass, and commanded her servant: Drive, and make haste, make no stay in going. And do that which I bid thee.\n25 So she went forward, and came to the man of God to mount Carmel: and when the man of God saw her coming towards, he said to Giezi his servant: Behold that Sunamitess.\n26 Go therefore to meet her, and say to her: Is all well with thee, and with thy husband, and with thy son? and she answered: Well.\n**27 And when she came to the man of God to the mount, she caught hold on his feet: and Giezi came to remove her.

If any man meet thee, salute him not: and if any man salute thee, answer him not: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.\n30 But the mother of the child said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. He arose, therefore, and followed her.\n31 But Giezi was gone before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child, and there was no voice nor sense: and he returned to meet him, and told him, saying: The child is not risen.\n32 Eliseus therefore went into the house, and behold the child lay dead on his bed.\n33 And going in he shut the door upon him, and upon the child, and prayed to the Lord.\n34 And he went up, and lay upon the child: and he put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he bowed himself upon him, and the child's flesh grew warm.\n35 Then he returned and walked in the house, once to and fro: and he went up, and lay upon him: and the child gaped seven times, and opened his eyes.\n36 And he called Giezi, and said to him: Call this Sunamitess. And she being called, went in to him: and he said: Take up thy son.\n37 She came and fell at his feet, and worshipped upon the ground: and took up her son, and went out.\n38 And Eliseus returned to Galgal, and there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets dwelt before him. And he said to one of his servants: Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.\n39 And one went out into the field to gather wild herbs: and he found something like a wild vine, and gathered of it wild gourds of the field, and filled his mantle, and coming back he shred them into the pot of pottage, for he knew not what it was.\n40 And they poured it out for their companions to eat: and when they had tasted of the pottage, they cried out, saying: Death is in the pot, O man of God. And they could not eat thereof.\n41 But he said: Bring some meal. And when they had brought it, he cast it into the pot, and said: Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was now no bitterness in the pot.\n42 And a certain man came from Baalsalisa bringing to the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty leaves of barley, and new corn in his scrip. And he said: Give to the people, that they may eat.\n43 And his servant answered him: How much is this, that I should set it before a hundred men?

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:\n**22 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?\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": "Where in the bible does it say \"And he was with her six years hid in the house of the Lord.

Behold I have delivered into thy hand the king thereof, and the people, and the city, and the land.\n2 And thou shalt do to the city of Hai, and to the king thereof, as thou hast done to Jericho, and to the king thereof: but the spoils and all the cattle you shall take for a prey to yourselves: lay an ambush for the city behind it.\n3 And Josue arose, and all the army of the fighting men with him, to go up against Hai: and he sent thirty thousand chosen valiant men in the night,\n4 And commanded them, saying: Lay an ambush behind the city: and go not very far from it: and be ye all ready.\n5 But I and the rest of the multitude which is with me; will approach on the contrary side against the city. And when they shall come out against us, we will flee, and turn our backs, as we did before:\n6 Till they pursuing us be drawn farther from the city: for they will think that we flee as before.\n7 And whilst we are fleeing, and they pursuing, you shall arise out of the ambush, and shall destroy the city: and the Lord your God will deliver it into our hands.\n8 And when you shall have taken it, set it on fire, and you shall do all things so as I have commanded.\n9 And he sent them away, and they went on to the place of the ambush, and abode between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the city of Hai. But Josue stayed that night in the midst of the people,\n10 And rising early in the morning, he mustered his soldiers, and went up with the ancients in the front of the army environed with the aid of the fighting men.\n11 And when they were come, and were gone up over against the city, they stood on the north side of the city, between which and them there was a valley in the midst.\n12 And he had chosen five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the same city:\n13 But all the rest of the army went in battle array on the north side, so that the last of that multitude reached to the west side of the city. So Josue went that night, and stood in the midst of the valley.\n14 And when the king of Hai saw this, he made haste in the morning, and went out with all the army of the city, and set it in battle array toward the desert, not knowing that there lay an ambush behind his back.\n15 But Josue, and all Israel gave back, making as if they were afraid, and fleeing by the way of the wilderness.\n16 But they shouting together, and encouraging one another, pursued them. And when they were come from the city,\n17 And not one remained in the city of Hai and of Bethel, that did not pursue after Israel, leaving the towns open as they had rushed out,\n18 The Lord said to Josue: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee.\n19 And when he had lifted up his shield towards the city, the ambush that lay hid, rose up immediately: and going to the city, took it and set it on fire.\n20 And the men of the city, that pursued after Josue, looking back and seeing the smoke of the city rise up to heaven, had no more power to flee this way or that way: especially as they that had counterfeited flight, and were going toward the wilderness, turned back most valiantly against them that pursued.\n21 So Josue and all Israel seeing that the city was taken, and that the smoke of the city rose up, returned and slew the men of Hai.\n22 And they also that had taken and set the city on fire, issuing out of the city to meet their own men, began to cut off the enemies who were surrounded by them.

Where are his miracles, which our fathers have told us of, saying: The Lord brought us Out of Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the bands of Madian.\n14 And the Lord looked upon him, and said: Go in this thy strength, and thou shalt deliver Israel out of the hand of Madian: know that I have sent thee.\n15 He answered and said: I beseech thee, my lord, wherewith shall I deliver Israel?

Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.\n5 And Ananias hearing these words, fell down, and gave up the ghost. And there came great fear upon all that heard it.\n6 And the young men rising up, removed him, and carrying him out, buried him.\n7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.\n8 And Peter said to her: Tell me, woman, whether you sold the land for so much? And she said: Yea, for so much.\n9 And Peter said unto her: Why have you agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out.\n10 Immediately she fell down before his feet, and gave up the ghost. And the young men coming in, found her dead: and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.\n11 And there came great fear upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.\n12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.\n13 But of the rest no man durst join himself unto them; but the people magnified them.\n14 And the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord, was more increased:\n15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that when Peter came, his shadow at the least, might overshadow any of them, and they might be delivered from their infirmities.\n16 And there came also together to Jerusalem a multitude out of the neighbouring cities, bringing sick persons, and such as were troubled with unclean spirits; who were all healed.\n17 Then the high priest rising up, and all they that were with him, (which is the heresy of the Sadducees,) were filled with envy.\n18 And they laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.\n19 But an angel of the Lord by night opening the doors of the prison, and leading them out, said:\n20 Go, and standing speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.\n21 Who having heard this, early in the morning, entered into the temple, and taught. And the high priest coming, and they that were with him, called together the council, and all the ancients of the children of Israel; and they sent to the prison to have them brought.\n22 But when the ministers came, and opening the prison, found them not there, they returned and told,\n23 Saying: The prison indeed we found shut with all diligence, and the keepers standing before the doors; but opening it, we found no man within.\n24 Now when the officer of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt concerning them, what would come to pass.\n25 But one came and told them: Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple standing, and teaching the people.\n**26 Then went the officer with the ministers, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.**\n27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,\n28 Saying: Commanding we commanded you, that you should not teach in this name; and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us.\n29 But Peter and the apostles answering, said: We ought to obey God, rather than men.\n30 The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom you put to death, hanging him upon a tree.\n31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand, to be Prince and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.\n32 And we are witnesses of these things and the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to all that obey him.\n33 When they had heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they thought to put them to death.\n34 But one in the council rising up, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, respected by all the people, commanded the men to be put forth a little while.\n35 And he said to them: Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do, as touching these men.\n36 For before these days rose up Theodas, affirming himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all that believed him were scattered, and brought to nothing.\n37 After this man, rose up Judas of Galilee, in the days of the enrolling, and drew away the people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as consented to him, were dispersed.\n38 And now, therefore, I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought;\n39 But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it, lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God. And they consented to him.\n40 And calling in the apostles, after they had scourged them, they charged them that they should not speak at all in the name of Jesus; and they dismissed them.\n41 And they indeed went from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus.\n42 And every day they ceased not in the temple, and from house to house, to teach and preach Christ Jesus.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where in the bible does it say \"And I besought the Lord at that time, saying:\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"And I besought the Lord at that time, saying:\" is written in Deuteronomy 3:23, within the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book, chapter, and verse is \"Son of man, write thee the name of this day, on which the king of Babylon hath set himself against Jerusalem to day.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The quote \"Son of man, write thee the name of this day, on which the king of Babylon hath set himself against Jerusalem to day.\" is from Ezekiel 24:2 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Book: Isaiah\nChapter: 44\nVerse: 1", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse in Isaiah 44:1 of the Old Testament (Douay Rheims) goes:\n\"And now hear, O Jacob, my servant, and Israel whom I have chosen.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the reference (book, chapter, verse) for \"Will God hear his cry, when distress shall come upon him?\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"Will God hear his cry, when distress shall come upon him?\" is written in Job 27:9, within the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Could you quote Job 33:13 for me?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse in Job 33:13 of the Old Testament (Douay Rheims) goes:\n\"Dost thou strive against him, because he hath not answered thee to all words?\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and what chapter and verse include \"Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee: for I have yet somewhat to speak in God's behalf.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Bible, the verse \"Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee: for I have yet somewhat to speak in God's behalf.\" can be found in the book of Job, chapter 36, verse 2 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book should I look at for \"And when every one had seen this, they all cried out: There was never such a thing done in Israel from the day that our fathers came up out of Egypt, until this day: give sentence, and decree in common what ought to be done.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "It's from the book of *Judges*, chapter *19*.\n\nHere's the chapter in full:\n*Judges Chapter 19*\n1 There was a certain Levite, who dwelt on the side of mount Ephraim, who took a wife of Bethlehem Juda:\n2 And she left him and returned to her father's house in Bethlehem, and abode with him four months.\n3 And her husband followed her, willing to be reconciled with her, and to speak kindly to her, and to bring her back with him, having with him a servant and two asses: and she received him, and brought him into her father's house. And when his father in law had heard this, and had seen him, he met him with joy,\n4 And embraced the man. And the son in law tarried in the house of his father in law three days, eating with him and drinking familiarly.\n5 But on the fourth day arising early in the morning he desired to depart. But his father in law kept him, and said to him: Taste first a little bread, and strengthen thy stomach, and so thou shalt depart.\n6 And they sat down together, and ate and drank. And the father of the young woman said to his son in law: I beseech thee to stay here to day, and let us make merry together.\n7 But he rising up began to be for departing. And nevertheless his father in law earnestly pressed him, and made him stay with him.\n8 But when morning was come, the Levite prepared to go on his journey. And his father in law said to him again: I beseech thee to take a little meat, and strengthening thyself, till the day be farther advanced, afterwards thou mayest depart. And they ate together.\n9 And the young man arose to set forward with his wife and servant. And his father in law spoke to him again: Consider that the day is declining, and draweth toward evening: tarry with me to day also, and spend the day in mirth, and to morrow thou shalt depart, that thou mayest go into thy house.\n10 His son in law would not consent to his words: but forthwith went forward and came over against Jebus, which by another name is called Jerusalem, leading with him two asses laden, and his concubine.\n11 And now they were come near Jebus, and the day was far spent: and the servant said to his master: Come, I beseech thee, let us turn into the city of the Jebusites, and lodge there.\n12 His master answered him: I will not go into the town of another nation, who are not of the children of Israel, but I will pass over to Gabaa:\n13 And when I shall come thither, we will lodge there, or at least in the city of Rama.\n14 So they passed by Jebus, and went on their journey, and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gabaa, which is in the tribe of Benjamin:\n15 And they turned into it, to lodge there. And when they were come in, they sat in the street of the city, for no man would receive them to lodge.\n16 And behold they saw an old man, returning out of the field and from his work in the evening, and he also was of mount Ephraim, and dwelt as a stranger in Gabaa; but the men of that country were the children of Jemini.\n17 And the old man lifting up his eyes, saw the man sitting with his bundles in the street of the city, and said to him: Whence comest thou? and whither goest thou?\n18 He answered him: We came out from Bethlehem Juda, and we are going to our home, which is on the side of mount Ephraim, from whence we went to Bethlehem: and now we go to the house of God, and none will receive us under his roof:\n19 We have straw and hay for provender of the asses, and bread and wine for the use of myself and of thy handmaid, and of the servant that is with me: we want nothing but lodging.\n20 And the old man answered him: Peace be with thee: I will furnish all things that are necessary: only I beseech thee, stay not in the street.\n21 And he brought him into his house, and gave provender to his asses: and after they had washed their feet, he entertained them with a feast.\n22 While they were making merry, and refreshing their bodies with meat and drink, after the labour of the journey, the men of that city, sons of Belial, (that is, without yoke,) came and beset the old man's house, and began to knock at the door, calling to the master of the house, and saying: Bring forth the man that came into thy house, that we may abuse him.\n23 And the old man went out to them, and said: Do not so, my brethren, do not so wickedly: because this man is come into my lodging, and cease I pray you from this folly.\n24 I have a maiden daughter, and this man hath a concubine, I will bring them out to you, and you may humble them, and satisfy your lust: only, I beseech you, commit not this crime against nature on the man.\n25 They would not be satisfied with his words; which the man seeing, brought out his concubine to them, and abandoned her to their wickedness: and when they had abused her all the night, they let her go in the morning.\n26 But the woman, at the dawning of the day, came to the door of the house where her lord lodged, and there fell down.\n27 And in the morning the man arose, and opened the door that he might end the journey he had begun: and behold his concubine lay before the door with her hands spread on the threshold.\n28 He thinking she was taking her rest, said to her: Arise, and let us be going. But as she made no answer, perceiving she was dead, he took her up, and laid her upon his ass, and returned to his house.\n29 And when he was come home he took a sword, and divided the dead body of his wife with her bones into twelve parts, and sent the pieces into all the borders of Israel.\n**30 And when every one had seen this, they all cried out: There was never such a thing done in Israel from the day that our fathers came up out of Egypt, until this day: give sentence, and decree in common what ought to be done.**\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Could you quote Judges 20:4 for me?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From Judges chapter 20, verse 4, Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"Answered: I came into Gabaa of Benjamin with my wife, and there I lodged:\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you provide the book, chapter, and verse for \"Let all thy creatures serve thee: because thou hast spoken, and they were made: thou didst send forth thy spirit, and they were created, and there is no one that can resist thy voice.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"Let all thy creatures serve thee: because thou hast spoken, and they were made: thou didst send forth thy spirit, and they were created, and there is no one that can resist thy voice.\" is written in Judith 16:17, within the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where in the books does \"In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by.\" show up, chapter-wise?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Your verse is located in *Luke*, chapter *10*.\n\nTake a look at the whole chapter:\n*Luke Chapter 10*\n1 And after these things the Lord appointed also other seventy-two: and he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was to come.\n2 And he said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few.

nations round about heard that the altar and the sanctuary were built up as before, that they were exceeding angry.\n2 And they thought to destroy the generation of Jacob that were among them, and they began to kill some of the people, and to persecute them.\n3 Then Judas fought against the children of Esau in Idumea, and them that were in Acrabathane: because they beset the Israelites around about, and he made a great slaughter of them.\n4 And he remembered the malice of the children of Bean: who were a snare and a stumblingblock to the people, by lying in wait for them in the way.\n5 And they were shut up by him in towers, and he set upon them, and devoted them to utter destruction, and burnt their towers with fire, and all that were in them.\n6 Then he passed over to the children of Ammon, where he found a mighty power, and much people, and Timotheus was their captain:\n7 And he fought many battles with them, and they were discomfited in their sight, and he smote them:\n8 And he took the city of Gazer and her towns, and returned into Judea.\n9 And the Gentiles that were in Galaad, assembled themselves together against the Israelites that were in their quarters to destroy them: and they fled into the fortress of Datheman.\n10 And they sent letters to Judas and his brethren, saying, The heathens that are round about are gathered together against us, to destroy us:\n11 And they are preparing to come, and to take the fortress into which we are fled: and Timotheus is the captain of their host.\n12 Now therefore come, and deliver us out of their hands, for many of us are slain.\n13 And all our brethren that were in the places of Tubin, are killed: and they have carried away their wives, and their children, captives, and taken their spoils, and they have slain there almost a thousand men.\n14 And while they were yet reading these letters, behold there came other messengers out of Galilee with their garments rent, who related according to these words:\n15 Saying, that they of Ptolemais, and of Tyre, and of Sidon, were assembled against them, and all Galilee is filled with strangers, in order to consume us.\n16 Now when Judas and all the people heard these words, a great assembly met together to consider what they should do for their brethren that were in trouble, and were assaulted by them.\n17 And Judas said to Simon his brother: Choose thee men, and go, and deliver thy brethren in Galilee: and I, and my brother Jonathan will go into the country of Galaad.\n18 And he left Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias captains of the people with the remnant of the army in Judea to keep it:\n19 And he commanded them, saying: Take ye the charge of this people: but make no war against the heathens, till we return.\n20 Now three thousand men were allotted to Simon, to go into Galilee: and eight thousand to Judas to go into the land of Galaad.\n21 And Simon went into Galilee, and fought many battles with the heathens: and the heathens were discomfited before his face, and he pursued them even to the gate of Ptolemais.\n22 And there fell of the heathens almost three thousand men, and he took the spoils of them,\n23 And he took with him those that were in Galilee and in Arbatis with their wives, and children, and all that they had, and he brought them into Judea with great joy.\n**24 And Judas Machabeus, and Jonathan his brother passed over the Jordan, and went three days' journey through the desert.**\n25 And the Nabutheans met them, and received them in a peaceable manner, and told them all that happened to their brethren in the land of Galaad,\n26 And that many of them were shut up in Barasa, and in Bosor, and in Alima, and in Casphor, and in Mageth, and in Carnaim: all these strong and great cities.\n27 Yea, and that they were kept shut up in the rest of the cities of Galaad, and that they had appointed to bring their army on the morrow near to these cities, and to take them and to destroy them all in one day.\n28 Then Judas and his army suddenly turned their march into the desert, to Bosor, and took the city: and he slew every male by the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burnt it with fire.\n29 And they removed from thence by night, and went till they came to the fortress.\n30 And it came to pass that early in the morning, when they lifted up their eyes, behold there were people without number, carrying ladders and engines to take the fortress, and assault them.\n31 And Judas saw that the fight was begun, and the cry of the battle went up to heaven like a trumpet, and a great cry out of the city:\n32 And he said to his host: Fight ye to day for your brethren.\n33 And he came with three companies behind them, and they sounded their trumpets, and cried out in prayer.\n34 And the host of Timotheus understood that it was Machabeus, and they fled away before his face: and they made a great slaughter of them: and there fell of them in that day almost eight thousand men.\n35 And Judas turned aside to Maspha, and assaulted, and took it, and he slew every male thereof, and took the spoils thereof, and burnt it with fire.\n36 From thence he marched, and took Casbon, and Mageth, and Bosor, and the rest of the cities of Galaad.\n37 But after this Timotheus gathered another army, and camped over against Raphon beyond the torrent.\n38 And Judas sent men to view the army: and they brought him word, saying: All the nations, that are round about us, are assembled unto him an army exceeding great:\n39 And they have hired the Arabians to help them, and they have pitched their tents beyond the torrent, ready to come to fight against thee. And Judas went to meet them.\n40 And Timotheus said to the captains of his army: When Judas and his army come near the torrent of water, if he pass over unto us first, we shall not be able to withstand him: for he will certainly prevail over us.\n41 But if he be afraid to pass over, and camp on the other side of the river, we will pass over to them and shall prevail against him.\n42 Now when Judas came near the torrent of water, he set the scribes of the people by the torrent, and commanded them, saying: Suffer no man to stay behind: but let all come to the battle.\n43 And he passed over to them first, and all the people after him, and all the heathens were discomfited before them, and they threw away their weapons, and fled to the temple that was in Carnaim.\n44 And he took that city, and the temple he burnt with fire, with all things that were therein: and Carnaim was subdued, and could not stand against the face of Judas.\n45 And Judas gathered together all the Israelites that were in the land of Galaad, from the least even to the greatest, and their wives, and children, and an army exceeding great, to come into the land of Juda.\n46 And they came as far as Ephron: now this was a great city situate in the way, strongly fortified, and there was no means to turn from it on the right hand or on the left, but the way was through the midst of it.\n47 And they that were in the city, shut themselves in, and stopped up the gates with stones: and Judas sent to them with peaceable words,\n48 Saying: Let us pass through your land, to go into our country: and no man shall hurt you: we will only pass through on foot. But they would not open to them.\n49 Then Judas commanded proclamation to be made in the camp, that they should make an assault every man in the place where he was.\n50 And the men of the army drew near, and he assaulted that city all the day, and all the night, and the city was delivered into his hands:\n51 And they slew every male with the edge of the sword, and he razed the city, and took the spoils thereof, and passed through all the city over them that were slain.\n52 Then they passed over the Jordan to the great plain that is over against Bethsan.\n53 And Judas gathered together the hindmost, and he exhorted the people all the way through, till they came into the land of Juda.\n54 And they went up to mount Sion with joy and gladness, and offered holocausts, because not one of them was slain, till they had returned in peace.\n55 Now in the days that Judas and Jonathan were in the land of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee before Ptolemais,\n56 Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias captain of the soldiers, heard of the good success, and the battles that were fought.\n57 And he said: Let us also get us a name, and let us go fight against the Gentiles that are round about us.\n58 And he gave charge to them that were in his army, and they went towards Jamnia.\n59 And Gorgias and his men went out of the city, to give them battle.\n60 And Joseph and Azarias were put to flight, and were pursued unto the borders of Judea: and there fell, on that day, of the people of Israel about two thousand men, and there was a great overthrow of the people:\n61 Because they did not hearken to Judas, and his brethren, thinking that they should do manfully.\n62 But they were not of the seed of those men by whom salvation was brought to Israel.\n63 And the men of Juda were magnified exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and of all the nations where their name was heard.\n64 And people assembled to them with joyful acclamations.\n65 Then Judas and his brethren went forth and attacked the children of Esau, in the land toward the south, and he took Chebron, and her towns: and he burnt the walls thereof and the towers all round it.\n66 And he removed his camp to go into the land of the aliens, and he went through Samaria.\n67 In that day some priests fell in battle, while desiring to do manfully they went out unadvisedly to fight.\n68 And Judas turned to Azotus into the land of the strangers, and he threw down their altars, and he burnt the statues of their gods with fire: and he took the spoils of the cities, and returned into the land of Juda.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the reference (book, chapter, verse) for \"Therefore arise in the morning, thou, and the servants of thy lord, who came with thee: and when you are up before day, and it shall begin to be light, go on your way.\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The passage \"Therefore arise in the morning, thou, and the servants of thy lord, who came with thee: and when you are up before day, and it shall begin to be light, go on your way.\" comes from 1 Samuel 29:10 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Deuteronomy 3:13 please", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The scripture from the Old Testament at Deuteronomy 3:13 (Douay Rheims) is:\n\"And I delivered the other part of Galaad, and all Basan the kingdom of Og to the half tribe of Manasses, all the country of Argob: and all Basan is called the Land of giants.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Quote from Ecclesiastes chapter 4, verse 17", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse in Ecclesiastes 4:17 of the Old Testament (Douay Rheims) goes:\n\"Keep thy foot, when thou goest into the house of God, and draw nigh to hear.

And they presently went into the standing corn of the Philistines. Which being set on fire, both the corn that was already carried together, and that which was yet standing, was all burnt, insomuch, that the flame consumed also the vineyards and the oliveyards.\n6 Then the Philistines said: Who hath done this thing? And it was answered: Samson the son in law of the Thamnathite, because he took away his wife, and gave her to another, hath done these things. And the Philistines went up and burnt both the woman and her father.\n7 But Samson said to them: Although you have done this, yet will I be revenged of you, and then I will be quiet.\n8 And he made a great slaughter of them, so that in astonishment they laid the calf of the leg upon the thigh.

the entire chapter for you:\n*2 Maccabees Chapter 8*\n1 But Judas Machabeus, and they that were with him, went privately into the towns: and calling together their kinsmen and friends, and taking unto them such as continued in the Jews' religion, they assembled six thousand men.\n2 And they called upon the Lord that he would look upon his people that was trodden down by all, and would have pity on the temple, that was defiled by the wicked:\n3 That he would have pity also upon the city that was destroyed, that was ready to be made even with the ground, and would hear the voice of the blood that cried to him:\n4 That he would remember also the most unjust deaths of innocent children, and the blasphemies offered to his name, and would shew his indignation on this occasion.\n5 Now when Machabeus had gathered a multitude, he could not be withstood by the heathens: for the wrath of the Lord was turned into mercy.\n6 So coming unawares upon the towns and cities, he set them on fire, and taking possession of the most commodious places, he made no small slaughter of the enemies:\n7 And especially in the nights he went upon these expeditions, and the fame of his valour was spread abroad everywhere.\n8 Then Philip, seeing that the man gained ground by little and little, and that things for the most part succeeded prosperously with him, wrote to Ptolemee the governor of Celesyria and Phenicia, to send aid to the king's affairs.\n9 And he with all speed sent Nicanor the son of Patroclus, one of his special friends, giving him no fewer than twenty thousand armed men of different nations, to root out the whole race of the Jews, joining also with him Gorgias, a good soldier, and of great experience in matters of war.\n10 And Nicanor purposed to raise for the king the tribute of two thousand talents, that was to be given to the Romans, by making so much money of the captive Jews:\n11 Wherefore he sent immediately to the cities upon the sea coast, to invite men together to buy up the Jewish slaves, promising that they should have ninety slaves for one talent, not reflecting on the vengeance, which was to follow him from the Almighty.\n12 Now when Judas found that Nicanor was coming, he imparted to the Jews that were with him, that the enemy was at hand.\n13 And some of them being afraid, and distrusting the justice of God, fled away:\n14 Others sold all that they had left, and withal besought the Lord, that he would deliver them from the wicked Nicanor, who had sold them before he came near them:\n15 And if not for their sakes, yet for the covenant that he had made with their fathers, and for the sake of his holy and glorious name that was invoked upon them.\n16 But Machabeus calling together seven thousand that were with him, exhorted them not to be reconciled to the enemies, nor to fear the multitude of the enemies who came wrongfully against them, but to fight manfully:\n17 Setting before their eyes the injury they had unjustly done the holy place, and also the injury they had done to the city, which had been shamefully abused, besides their destroying the ordinances of the fathers.\n18 For, said he, they trust in their weapons, and in their boldness: but we trust in the Almighty Lord, who at a beck can utterly destroy both them that come against us, and the whole world.\n19 Moreover he put them in mind also of the helps their fathers had received from God: and how under Sennacherib a hundred and eighty-five thousand had been destroyed.\n20 And of the battle that they had fought against the Galatians in Babylonia, how they, being in all but six thousand, when it came to the point, and the Macedonians their companions were a stand, slew a hundred and twenty thousand, because of the help they had from heaven, and for this they received many favours.\n21 With these words they were greatly encouraged, and disposed even to die for the laws and their country.\n22 So he appointed his brethren captains over each division of his army, Simon, and Joseph, and Jonathan, giving to each one fifteen hundred men.\n23 And after the holy Book had been read to them by Esdras, and he had given them for a watchword, The help of God: himself leading the first band, he joined battle with Nicanor:\n24 And the Almighty being their helper, they slew above nine thousand men: and having wounded and disabled the greater part of Nicanor's army, they obliged them to fly.\n25 And they took the money of them that came to buy them, and they pursued them on every side.\n**26 But they came back for want of time: for it was the day before the sabbath: and therefore they did not continue the pursuit.**\n27 But when they had gathered together their arms and their spoils, they kept the sabbath: blessing the Lord who had delivered them that day, distilling the beginning of mercy upon them.\n28 Then after the sabbath they divided the spoils to the feeble and the orphans, and the widows: and the rest they took for themselves and their servants.\n29 When this was done, and they had all made a common supplication, they besought the merciful Lord to be reconciled to his servants unto the end.\n30 Moreover they slew above twenty thousand of them that were with Timotheus and Bacchides who fought them, and they made themselves masters of the high strong holds: and they divided amongst them many spoils, giving equal portions to the feeble, the fatherless and the widows, yea and the aged also.\n31 And when they had carefully gathered together their arms, they laid them all up in convenient places, and the residue of their spoils they carried to Jerusalem:\n32 They slew also Philarches who was with Timotheus, a wicked man, who had many ways afflicted the Jews.\n33 And when they kept the feast of the victory at Jerusalem, they burnt Callisthenes, that had set fire to the holy gates, who had taken refuge in a certain house, rendering to him a worthy reward for his impieties:\n34 But as for that most wicked man Nicanor, who had brought a thousand merchants to the sale of the Jews,\n35 Being through the help of the Lord brought down by them, of whom he had made no account, laying; aside his garment of glory, fleeing through the midland country, he came alone to Antioch, being rendered very unhappy by the destruction of his army.\n36 And he that had promised to levy the tribute for the Romans by the means of the captives of Jerusalem, now professed that the Jews had God for their protector, and therefore they could not be hurt, because they followed the laws appointed by him.\n", "role":

when Demetrius heard that Nicanor and his army were fallen in battle, he sent again Bacchides and Alcimus into Judea; and the right wing of his army with them.\n2 And they took the road that leadeth to Galgal, and they camped in Masaloth, which is in Arabella: and they made themselves masters of it, and slew many people.\n3 In the first month of the hundred and fifty-second year they brought the army to Jerusalem:\n4 And they arose, and went to Berea with twenty thousand men, and two thousand horsemen.\n5 Now Judas had pitched his tents in Laisa, and three thousand chosen men with him:\n6 And they saw the multitude of the army that they were many, and they were seized with great fear: and many withdrew themselves out of the camp, and there remained of them no more than eight hundred men.\n7 And Judas saw that his army slipped away, and the battle pressed upon him, and his heart was cast down: because he had not time to gather them together, and he was discouraged.\n8 Then he said to them that remained: Let us arise, and go against our enemies, if we may be able to fight against them.\n9 But they dissuaded him, saying: We shall not be able, but let us save our lives now, and return to our brethren, and then we will fight against them: for we are but few.\n10 Then Judas said: God forbid we should do this thing, and flee away from them: but if our time be come, let us die manfully for our brethren, and let us not stain our glory.\n11 And the army removed out of the camp, and they stood over against them: and the horsemen were divided into two troops, and the slingers, and the archers went before the army, and they that were in the front were all men of valour.\n12 And Bacchides was in the right wing, and the legion drew near on two sides, and they sounded the trumpets:\n13 And they also were on Judas' side, even they also cried out, and the earth shook at the noise of the armies: and the battle was fought from morning even unto the evening.\n14 And Judas perceived that the stronger part of the army of Bacchides was on the right side, and all the stout of heart came together with him:\n15 And the right wing was discomfited by them, and he pursued them even to the mount Azotus.\n16 And they that were in the left wing saw that the right wing was discomfited, and they followed after Judas, and them that were with him, at their back:\n17 And the battle was hard fought, and there fell many wounded of the one side and of the other.\n18 And Judas was slain, and the rest fled away.\n19 And Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of their fathers in the city of Modin.\n20 And all the people of Israel bewailed him with great lamentation, and they mourned for him many days.\n21 And said: How is the mighty man fallen, that saved the people of Israel!\n22 But the rest of the words of the wars of Judas, and of the noble acts that he did, and of his greatness, are not written: for they were very many.\n23 And it came to pass after the death of Judas, that the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the confines of Israel, and all the workers of iniquity rose up.\n24 In those days there was a very great famine, and they and all their country yielded to Bacchides.\n25 And Bacchides chose the wicked men, and made them lords of the country:\n26 And they sought out, and made diligent search after the friends of Judas, and brought them to Bacchides, and he took vengeance of them, and abused them.\n27 And there was a great tribulation in Israel, such as was not since the day, that there was no prophet seen in Israel.\n28 And all the friends of Judas came together, and said to Jonathan:\n29 Since thy brother Judas died, there is not a man like him to go forth against our enemies, Bacchides, and them that are the enemies of our nation.\n30 Now therefore we have chosen thee this day to be our prince, and captain in his stead to fight our battles.\n31 So Jonathan took upon him the government at that time, and rose up in the place of Judas his brother.\n32 And Bacchides had knowledge of it, and sought to kill him.\n33 And Jonathan and Simon his brother, knew it, and all that were with them: and they fled into the desert of Thecua, and they pitched by the water of the lake of Asphar,\n34 And Bacchides understood it, and he came himself with all his army over the Jordan on the sabbath day.\n35 And Jonathan sent his brother a captain of the people, to desire the Nabutheans his friends, that they would lend them their equipage, which was copious.\n36 And the children of Jambri came forth out of Madaba, and took John, and all that he had, and went away with them.\n37 After this it was told Jonathan, and Simon his brother, that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride out of Madaba, the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan, with great pomp.\n38 And the remembered the blood of John their brother: and they went up, and hid themselves under the covert of the mountain.\n39 And they lifted up their eyes, and saw: and behold a tumult, and great preparation: and the bridegroom came forth, and his friends, and his brethren to meet them with timbrels, and musical instruments, and many weapons.\n40 And they rose up against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and slew them, and there fell many wounded, and the rest fled into the mountains, and they took all their spoils:\n41 And the marriage was turned into mourning, and the noise of their musical instruments into lamentation.\n42 And they took revenge for the blood of their brother: and they returned to the bank of the Jordan.\n43 And Bacchides heard it, and he came on the sabbath day even to the bank of the Jordan with a great power.\n44 And Jonathan said to his company: Let us arise, and fight against our enemies: for it is not now as yesterday, and the day before.\n45 And behold the battle is before us, and the water of the Jordan on this side and on that side, and banks, and marshes, and woods: and there is no place for us to turn aside.\n46 Now therefore cry ye to heaven, that ye may be delivered from the hand of your enemies. And they joined battle.\n47 And Jonathan stretched forth his hand to strike Bacchides, but he turned away from him backwards.\n48 And Jonathan, and they that were with him leaped into the Jordan, and swam over the Jordan to them:\n49 And there fell of Bacchides' side that day a thousand men: and they returned to Jerusalem,\n50 And they built strong cities in Judea, the fortress that was in Jericho, and in Ammaus, and in Bethoron, and in Bethel, and Thamnata, and Phara, and Thopo, with high walls, and gates, and bars.\n51 And he placed garrisons in them, that they might wage war against Israel:\n52 And he fortified the city of Bethsura, and Gazara, and the castle, and set garrisons in them, and provisions of victuals:\n53 And he took the sons of the chief men of the country for hostages, and put them in the castle in Jerusalem in custody.\n54 Now in the year one hundred and fifty-three, the second month, Alcimus commanded the walls of the inner court of the sanctuary to be thrown down, and the works of the prophets to be destroyed: and he began to be destroyed: and he began to destroy.\n55 At that time Alcimus was struck: and his works were hindered, and his mouth was stopped, and he was taken with a palsy, so that he could no more speak a word, nor give order concerning his house.\n56 And Alcimus died at that time in great torment.\n**57 And Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead: and he returned to the king, and the land was quiet for two years.**\n58 And all the wicked held a council, saying: Behold Jonathan, and they that are with him, dwell at ease, and without fear: now therefore let us bring Bacchides hither, and he shall take them all in one night.\n59 So they went, and gave him counsel.\n60 And he arose to come with a great army: and he sent secretly letters to his adherents that were in Judea, to seize upon Jonathan, and them that were with him: but they could not, for their design was known to them.\n61 And he apprehended of the men of the country, that were the principal authors of the mischief, fifty men, and slew them.\n62 And Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with him retired into Bethbessen, which is in the desert: and he repaired the breaches thereof, and they fortified it.\n63 And when Bacchides knew it, he gathered together all his multitude: and sent word to them that were of Judea.\n64 And he came, and camped above Bethbessen, and fought against it many days, and made engines.\n65 But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and went forth into the country: and came with a number of men.\n66 And struck Odares, and his brethren, and the children of Phaseron in their tents, and he began to slay, and to increase in forces.\n67 But Simon and they that were with him, sallied out of the city, and burnt the engines.\n68 And they fought against Bacchides, and he was discomfited by them: and they afflicted him exceedingly, for his counsel, and his enterprise was in vain.\n69 And he was angry with the wicked men that had given him counsel to come into their country, and he slew many of them: and he purposed to return with the rest into their country.\n70 And Jonathan had knowledge of it, and he sent ambassadors to him to make peace with him, and to restore to him the prisoners.\n71 And he accepted it willingly, and did according to his words, and swore that he would do him no harm all the days of his life.\n72 And he restored to him the prisoners which he before had taken out of the land of Juda: and he returned and went away into his own country, and he came no more into their borders.\n73 So the sword ceased from Israel: and Jonathan dwelt in Machmas, and Jonathan began there to judge the people, and he destroyed the wicked out of Israel.\n", "role": "assistant" }, {

They say to him: We also come with thee. And they went forth, and entered into the ship: and that night they caught nothing.\n4 But when the morning was come, Jesus stood on the shore: yet the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.\n5 Jesus therefore said to them: Children, have you any meat? They answered him: No.\n6 He saith to them: Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and you shall find. They cast therefore; and now they were not able to draw it, for the multitude of fishes.\n7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved, said to Peter: It is the Lord. Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat about him, (for he was naked,) and cast himself into the sea.\n8 But the other disciples came in the ship, (for they were not far from the land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.\n9 As soon then as they came to land, they saw hot coals lying, and a fish laid thereon, and bread.\n10 Jesus saith to them: Bring hither of the fishes which you have now caught.\n11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, one hundred and fifty-three. And although there were so many, the net was not broken.\n12 Jesus saith to them: Come, and dine. And none of them who were at meat, durst ask him: Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.\n13 And Jesus cometh and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish in like manner.\n14 This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he was risen from the dead.\n15 When therefore they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter: Simon son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him: Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs.\n16 He saith to him again: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He saith to him: Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs.\n17 He said to him the third time: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved, because he had said to him the third time: Lovest thou me? And he said to him: Lord, thou knowest all things: thou knowest that I love thee. He said to him: Feed my sheep.\n18 Amen, amen I say to thee, when thou wast younger, thou didst gird thyself, and didst walk where thou wouldst. But when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and lead thee whither thou wouldst not.\n19 And this he said, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had said this, he saith to him: Follow me.\n20 Peter turning about, saw that disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned on his breast at supper, and said: Lord, who is he that shall betray thee?\n21 Him therefore when Peter had seen, he saith to Jesus: Lord, and what shall this man do?\n22 Jesus saith to him: So I will have him to remain till I come, what is it to thee? follow thou me.\n23 This saying therefore went abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die.

And I cast forth the vessels of the house of Tobias out of the storehouse.\n9 And I commanded and they cleansed the storehouses: and I brought thither again the vessels of the house of God, the sacrifice, and the frankincense.\n10 And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: and that the Levites, and the singing men, and they that ministered were fled away every man to his own country:\n11 And I pleaded the matter against the magistrates, and said: Why have we forsaken the house of God? And I gathered them together, and I made them to stand in their places.\n12 And all Juda brought the tithe of the corn, and the wine, and the oil into the storehouses.\n13 And we set over the storehouses Selemias the priest, and Sadoc the scribe, and of the Levites Phadaia, and next to them Hanan the son of Zachur, the son of Mathania: for they were approved as faithful, and to them were committed the portions of their brethren.\n14 Remember me, O my God, for this thing, and wipe not out my kindnesses, which I have done relating to the house of my God and his ceremonies.\n15 In those days I saw in Juda some treading the presses on the sabbath, and carrying sheaves, and lading asses with wine, and grapes, and figs, and all manner of burthens, and bringing them into Jerusalem on the sabbath day. And I charged them that they should sell on a day on which it was lawful to sell.\n16 Some Tyrians also dwelt there, who brought fish, and all manner of wares: and they sold them on the sabbaths to the children of Juda in Jerusalem.\n17 And I rebuked the chief men of Juda, and said to them: What is this evil thing that you are doing, profaning the sabbath day?\n18 Did not our fathers do these things, and our God brought all this evil upon us, and upon this city? And you bring more wrath upon Israel by violating the sabbath.\n19 And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem were at rest on the sabbath day, I spoke: and they shut the gates, and I commanded that they should not open them till after the sabbath: and I set some of my servants at the gates, that none should bring in burthens on the sabbath day.\n20 So the merchants, and they that sold all kinds of wares, stayed without Jerusalem once or twice.\n21 And I charged them, and I said to them: Why stay you before the wall? if you do so another time, I will lay hands on you.

the daughter of Helcias, a very beautiful woman, and one that feared God.\n3 For her parents being just, had instructed their daughter according to the law of Moses.\n4 Now Joakim was very rich, and had an orchard near his house: and the Jews resorted to him, because he was the most honourable of them all.\n5 And there were two of the ancients of the people appointed judges that year, of whom the Lord said: Iniquity came out from Babylon from the ancient judges, that seemed to govern the people.\n6 These men frequented the house of Joakim, and all that had any matters of judgment came to them.\n7 And when the people departed away at noon, Susanna went in, and walked in her husband's orchard.\n8 And the old men saw her going in every day, and walking: and they were inflamed with lust towards her:\n9 And they perverted their own mind and turned away their eyes that they might not look unto heaven, nor remember just judgments.\n10 So they were both wounded with the love of her, yet they did not make known their grief one to the other:\n11 For they were ashamed to declare to one another their lust, being desirous to have to do with her.\n12 And they watched carefully every day to see her. And one said to the other:\n13 Let us now go home, for it is dinner time. So going out they departed one from another.\n14 And turning back again, they came both to the same place: and asking one another the cause, they acknowledged their lust; and then they agreed upon a time, when they might find her alone.\n15 And it fell out, as they watched a fit day, she went in on a time, as yesterday and the day before, with two maids only, and was desirous to wash herself in the orchard: for it was hot weather.\n16 And there was nobody there, but the two old men that had hid themselves and were beholding her.\n17 So she said to the maids: Bring me oil, and washing balls, and shut the doors of the orchard, that I may wash me.\n18 And they did as she bade them: and they shut the doors of the orchard, and went out by a back door to fetch what she had commanded them, and they knew not that the elders were hid within.\n19 Now when the maids were gone forth, the two elders arose, and ran to her, and said:\n20 Behold the doors of the orchard are shut, and nobody seeth us, and we are in love with thee: wherefore consent to us, and lie with us.\n21 But if thou wilt not, we will bear witness against thee, that a young man was with thee, and therefore thou didst send away thy maids from thee.\n22 Susanna sighed, and said: I am straitened on every side: for if I do this thing, it is death to me: and if I do it not, I shall not escape your hands.\n23 But it is better for me to fall into your hands without doing it, than to sin in the sight of the Lord.\n24 With that Susanna cried out with a loud voice: and the elders also cried out against her.\n25 And one of them ran to the door of the orchard, and opened it.\n26 So when the servants of the house heard the cry in the orchard, they rushed in by the back door to see what was the matter.\n27 But after the old men had spoken, the servants were greatly ashamed: for never had there been any such word said of Susanna.

And presently they sent.\n**30 And she came with her parents, and children, and all her kindred.**\n31 Now Susanna was exceeding delicate, and beautiful to behold.\n32 But those wicked men commanded that her face should be uncovered, (for she was covered,) that so at least they might be satisfied with her beauty.\n33 Therefore her friends and all her acquaintance wept.\n34 But the two elders rising up in the midst of the people, laid their hands upon her head.\n35 And she weeping looked up to heaven, for her heart had confidence in the Lord.\n36 And the elders said: As we walked in the orchard alone, this woman came in with two maids, and shut the doors of the orchard, and sent away the maids from her.\n37 Then a young man that was there hid came to her, and lay with her.\n38 But we that were in a corner of the orchard, seeing this wickedness, ran up to them, and we saw them lie together.\n39 And him indeed we could not take, because he was stronger than us, and opening the doors he leaped out:\n40 But having taken this woman, we asked who the young man was, but she would not tell us: of this thing we are witnesses.\n41 The multitude believed them as being the elders and the judges of the people, and they condemned her to death.\n42 Then Susanna cried out with a loud voice, and said: O eternal God, who knowest hidden things, who knowest all things before they come to pass,\n43 Thou knowest that they have borne false witness against me: and behold I must die, whereas I have done none of these things, which these men have maliciously forged against me.\n44 And the Lord heard her voice.\n45 And when she was led to be put to death, the Lord raised up the holy spirit of a young boy, whose name was Daniel.\n46 And he cried out with a loud voice I am clear from the blood of this woman.\n47 Then all the people turning themselves towards him, said: What meaneth this word that thou hast spoken?\n48 But he standing in the midst of them, said: Are ye so foolish, ye children of Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the truth, you have condemned a daughter of Israel?\n49 Return to judgment, for they have borne false witness against her.\n50 So all the people turned again in haste, and the old men said to him: Come, and sit thou down among us, and shew it us: seeing God hath given thee the honour of old age.\n51 And Daniel said to the people: Separate these two far from one another, and I will examine them.\n52 So when they were put asunder one from the other, he called one of them, and said to him: O thou that art grown old in evil days, now are thy sins come out, which thou hast committed before:\n53 In judging unjust judgments, oppressing the innocent, and letting the guilty to go free, whereas the Lord saith: The innocent and the just thou shalt not kill.\n54 Now then, if thou sawest her, tell me under what tree thou sawest them conversing together. He said: Under a mastic tree.\n55 And Daniel said: Well hast thou lied against thy own head: for behold the angel of God having received the sentence of him, shall cut thee in two.\n56 And having put him aside, he commanded that the other should come, and he said to him: O thou seed of Chanaan, and not of Juda, beauty hath deceived thee, and lust hath perverted thy heart:\n57 Thus did you do to the daughters of Israel, and they for fear conversed with you: but a daughter of Juda would not abide your wickedness.\n58 Now therefore tell me, under what tree didst thou take them conversing together. And he answered: Under a holm tree.\n59 And Daniel said to him: Well hast thou also lied against thy own head: for the angel of the Lord waiteth with a sword to cut thee in two, and to destroy you.\n60 With that all the assembly cried out with a loud voice, and they blessed God, who saveth them that trust in him.\n61 And they rose up against the two elders, (for Daniel had convicted them of false witness by their own mouth,) and they did to them as they had maliciously dealt against their neighbour,\n62 To fulfill the law of Moses: and they put them to death, and innocent blood was saved in that day.\n63 But Helcias and his wife praised God, for their daughter Susanna, with Joakim her husband, and all her kindred, because there was no dishonesty found in her.\n64 And Daniel became great in the sight of the people from that day, and thenceforward.\n65 And king Astyages was gathered to his fathers, and Cyrus the Persian received his kingdom.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book is the verse \"And the frogs shall come in to thee and to thy people, and to all thy servants.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "That's from *Exodus*, chapter *8*.\n\nWant the full chapter?

And in like manner the husband also hath not power of his own body, but the wife.\n5 Defraud not one another, except, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may give yourselves to prayer; and return together again, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency.\n6 But I speak this by indulgence, not by commandment.\n7 For I would that all men were even as myself: but every one hath his proper gift from God; one after this manner, and another after that.\n8 But I say to the unmarried, and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I.\n9 But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burnt.\n10 But to them that are married, not I but the Lord commandeth, that the wife depart not from her husband.\n11 And if she depart, that she remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And let not the husband put away his wife.\n12 For to the rest I speak, not the Lord. If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not put her away.\n13 And if any woman hath a husband that believeth not, and he consent to dwell with her, let her not put away her husband.\n14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife; and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the believing husband: otherwise your children should be unclean; but now they are holy.\n**15 But if the unbeliever depart, let him depart. For a brother or sister is not under servitude in such cases. But God hath called us in peace.**\n16 For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?\n17 But as the Lord hath distributed to every one, as God hath called every one, so let him walk: and so in all churches I teach.\n18 Is any man called, being circumcised? let him not procure uncircumcision. Is any man called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.\n19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing: but the observance of the commandments of God.\n20 Let every man abide in the same calling in which he was called.\n21 Wast thou called, being a bondman? care not for it; but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.\n22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a bondman, is the freeman of the Lord. Likewise he that is called, being free, is the bondman of Christ.\n23 You are bought with a price; be not made the bondslaves of men.\n24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God.\n25 Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord; but I give counsel, as having obtained mercy of the Lord, to be faithful.\n26 I think therefore that this is good for the present necessity, that it is good for a man so to be.\n27 Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.\n28 But if thou take a wife, thou hast not sinned. And if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned: nevertheless, such shall have tribulation of the flesh. But I spare you.\n29 This therefore I say, brethren; the time is short; it remaineth, that they also who have wives, be as if they had none;\n30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as if they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;\n31 And they that use this world, as if they used it not: for the fashion of this world passeth away.\n32 But I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife, is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please God.\n33 But he that is with a wife, is solicitous for the things of the world, how he may please his wife: and he is divided.\n34 And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she that is married thinketh on the things of the world, how she may please her husband.\n35 And this I speak for your profit: not to cast a snare upon you; but for that which is decent, and which may give you power to attend upon the Lord, without impediment.\n36 But if any man think that he seemeth dishonoured, with regard to his virgin, for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what he will; he sinneth not, if she marry.\n37 For he that hath determined being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will; and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well.\n38 Therefore, both he that giveth his virgin in marriage, doth well; and he that giveth her not, doth better.\n39 A woman is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband die, she is at liberty: let her marry to whom she will; only in the Lord.\n40 But more blessed shall she be, if she so remain, according to my counsel; and I think

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?

You shall seek me; and as I said to the Jews: Whither I go you cannot come; so I say to you now.\n34 A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another.\n35 By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.\n36 Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, whither goest thou?

But the king answering, said: Baltassar, let not the dream and the interpretation thereof trouble thee. Baltassar answered, and said: My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thy enemies.\n17 The tree which thou sawest which was high and strong, whose height reached to the skies, and the sight thereof into all the earth:\n18 And the branches thereof were most beautiful, and its fruit exceeding much, and in it was food for all, under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and the birds of the air had their abode in its branches.\n19 It is thou, O king, who art grown great and become mighty: for thy greatness hath grown, and hath reached to heaven, and thy power unto the ends of the earth.\n20 And whereas the king saw a watcher, and a holy one come down from heaven, and say: Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, and let it be bound with iron and brass among the grass without, and let it be sprinkled with the dew of heaven, and let his feeding be with the wild beasts, till seven times pass over him.\n21 This is the interpretation of the sentence of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king.\n**22 They shall cast thee out from among men, and thy dwelling shall be with cattle and with wild beasts, and thou shalt eat grass as an ox, and shalt be wet with the dew of heaven: and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.**\n23 But whereas he commanded, that the stump of the roots thereof, that is, of the tree, should be left: thy kingdom shall remain to thee after thou shalt have known that power is from heaven.\n24 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to thee, and redeem thou thy sins with alms, and thy iniquities with works of mercy to the poor: perhaps he will forgive thy offences.\n25 All these things came upon king Nabuchodonosor.\n26 At the end of twelve months he was walking in the palace of Babylon.\n27 And the king answered, and said: Is not this the great Babylon, which I have built to be the seat of the kingdom, by the strength of my power, and in the glory of my excellence?\n28 And while the word was yet in the king's mouth, a voice came down from heaven: To thee, O king Nabuchodonosor, it is said: Thy kingdom shall pass from thee,\n29 And they shall cast thee out from among men, and thy dwelling shall be with cattle and wild beasts: thou shalt eat grass like an ox, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.\n30 The same hour the word was fulfilled upon Nabuchodonosor, and he was driven away from among men, and did eat grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till his hairs grew like the feathers of eagles, and his nails like birds' claws.\n31 Now at the end of the days, I Nabuchodonosor lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my sense was restored to me: and I blessed the most High, and I praised and glorified him that liveth for ever: for his power is an everlasting power, and his kingdom is to all generations.\n32 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing before him: for he doth according to his will, as well with the powers of heaven, as among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is none that can resist his hand, and say to him: Why hast thou done it?\n33 At the same time my sense returned to me, and I came to the honour and glory of my kingdom: and my shape returned to me: and my nobles, and my magistrates sought for me, and I was restored to my kingdom: and greater majesty was added to me.\n34 Therefore I Nabuchodonosor do now praise, and magnify, and glorify the King of heaven: because all his works are true, and his ways judgments, and them that walk in pride he is able to abase.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Read me Exodus 3:3", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**Old Testament**\n*Exodus 3:3 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"And Moses said: I will go and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the content of Jeremiah 38:13?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**The Old Testament**\n*Jeremiah 38:13 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"And they drew up Jeremias with the cords, and brought him forth out of the dungeon.

And the children of Israel answered them, and said:\n7 Perhaps you dwell in the land which falls to our lot; if so, we can make no league with you.\n8 But they said to Josue: We are thy servants. Josue said to them: Who are you? and whence came you?\n**9 They answered: From a very far country thy servants are come in the name of the Lord thy God.

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?\n**17 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 when he was come in before the king, and had worshipped, bowing down to the ground,\n24 Nathan said: My lord O king, hast thou said: Let Adonias reign after me, and let him sit upon my throne?\n25 Because he is gone down to day, and hath killed oxen, and fatlings, and many rams, and invited all the king's sons, and the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest: and they are eating and drinking before him, and saying: God save king Adonias:\n26 But me thy servant, and Sadoc the priest, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and Solomon thy servant he hath not invited.\n27 Is this word come out from my lord the king, and hast thou not told me thy servant who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?\n28 And king David answered and said: Call to me Bethsabee. And when she was come in to the king, and stood before him,\n29 The king swore and said: As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soul out of all distress,\n30 Even as I swore to thee by the Lord the God of Israel, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead, so will I do this day.\n31 And Bethsabee bowing with her face to the earth worshipped the king, saying: May my lord David live for ever.\n32 King David also said: Call me Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaias the son of Joiada. And when they were come in before the king,\n33 He said to them: Take with you the servants of your lord, and set my son Solomon upon my mule: and bring him to Gihon.\n34 And let Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and you shall sound the trumpet, and shall say: God save king Solomon.\n35 And you shall come up after him, and he shall come, and shall sit upon my throne, and he shall reign in my stead: and I will appoint him to be ruler over Israel, and over Juda.\n36 And Banaias the son of Joiada answered the king, saying: Amen: so say the Lord the God of my lord the king.\n37 As the Lord hath been with my lord the king, so be he with Solomon, and make his throne higher than the throne of my lord king David.\n38 So Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet went down, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and the Cerethi, and Phelethi: and they set Solomon upon the mule of king David, and brought him to Gihon.\n39 And Sadoc the priest took a horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon: and they sounded the trumpet, and all the people said: God save king Solomon.\n40 And all the multitude went up after him, and the people played with pipes, and rejoiced with a great joy, and the earth rang with the noise of their cry.\n41 And Adonias, and all that were invited by him, heard it, and now the feast was at an end: Joab also hearing the sound of the trumpet, said: What meaneth this noise of the city in an uproar?\n42 While he yet spoke, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonias said to him: Come in, because thou art a valiant man, and bringest good news.\n43 And Jonathan answered Adonias: Not so: for our lord king David hath appointed Solomon king.\n44 And hath sent with him Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and the Cerethi, and Phelethi, and they have set him upon the king's mule.\n45 And Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are gone up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again: this is the noise that you have heard.\n46 Moreover Solomon sitteth upon the throne of the kingdom,\n47 And the king's servants going in have blessed our lord king David, saying: May God make the name of Solomon greater than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king adored in his bed:\n48 And he said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who hath given this day one to sit on my throne, my eyes seeing it.\n49 Then all the guests of Adonias were afraid, and they all arose and every man went his way.\n50 And Adonias fearing Solomon, arose, and went, and took hold on the horn of the altar.\n51 And they told Solomon, saying: Behold Adonias, fearing king Solomon, hath taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: Let king Solomon swear to me this day, that he will not kill his servant with the sword.\n52 And Solomon said: If he be a good man, there shall not so much as one hair of his head fall to the ground: but if evil be found in him, he shall die.\n53 Then king Solomon sent, and brought him out from the altar: and going in he worshipped king Solomon: and Solomon said to him: Go to thy house.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Book: 1 Samuel\nChapter: 15\nVerse: 33", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**The Old Testament**\n*1 Samuel 15:33 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"And Samuel said: As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women.

Here it is:\n*Daniel Chapter 7*\n1 In the first year of Baltasar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream: and the vision of his head was upon his bed: and writing the dream, he comprehended it in few words: and relating the sum of it in short, he said:\n2 I saw in my vision by night, and behold the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.\n3 And four great beasts, different one from another, came up out of the sea.\n4 The first was like a lioness, and had the wings of an eagle: I beheld till her wings were plucked off, and she was lifted up from the earth, and stood upon her feet as a man, and the heart of a man was given to her.\n5 And behold another beast like a bear stood up on one side: and there were three rows in the mouth thereof, and in the teeth thereof, and thus they said to it: Arise, devour much flesh.\n6 After this I beheld, and lo, another like a leopard, and it had upon it four wings as of a fowl, and the beast had four heads, and power was given to it.\n7 After this I beheld in the vision of the night, and lo, a fourth beast, terrible and wonderful, and exceeding strong, it had great iron teeth, eating and breaking in pieces, and treading down the rest with its feet: and it was unlike to the other beasts which I had seen before it, and had ten horns.\n8 I considered the horns, and behold another little horn sprung out of the midst of them: and three of the first horns were plucked up at the presence thereof: and behold eyes like the eyes of a man were in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.\n**9 I beheld till thrones were placed, and the Ancient of days sat: his garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like clean wool: his throne like flames of fire: the wheels of it like a burning fire.**\n10 A swift stream of fire issued forth from before him: thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times a hundred thousand stood before him: the judgment sat, and the books were opened.\n11 I beheld because of the voice of the great words which that horn spoke: and I saw that the beast was slain, and the body thereof was destroyed, and given to the fire to be burnt:\n12 And that the power of the other beasts was taken away: and that times of life were appointed them for a time, and a time.\n13 I beheld therefore in the vision of the night, and lo, one like the son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and he came even to the Ancient of days: and they presented him before him.\n14 And he gave him power, and glory, and a kingdom: and all peoples, tribes and tongues shall serve him: his power is an everlasting power that shall not be taken away: and his kingdom that shall not be destroyed.\n15 My spirit trembled, I Daniel was affrighted at these things, and the visions of my head troubled me.\n16 I went near to one of them that stood by, and asked the truth of him concerning all these things, and he told me the interpretation of the words, and instructed me:\n17 These four great beasts are four kingdoms, which shall arise out of the earth.\n18 But the saints of the most high God shall take the kingdom: and they shall possess the kingdom for ever and ever.\n19 After this I would diligently learn concerning the fourth beast, which was very different from all, and exceeding terrible: his teeth and claws were of iron: he devoured and broke in pieces, and the rest he stamped upon with his feet:\n20 And concerning the ten horns that he had on his head: and concerning the other that came up, before which three horns fell: and of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and was greater than the rest.\n21 I beheld, and lo, that horn made war against the saints, and prevailed over them,\n22 Till the Ancient of days came and gave judgment to the saints of the most High, and the time came, and the saints obtained the kingdom.\n23 And thus he said: The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be greater than all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.\n24 And the ten horns of the same kingdom, shall be ten kings: and another shall rise up after them, and he shall be mightier than the former, and he shall bring down three kings.\n25 And he shall speak words against the High One, and shall crush the saints of the most High: and he shall think himself able to change times and laws, and they shall be delivered into his hand until a time, and times, and half a time.\n26 And judgment shall sit, that his power may be taken away, and be broken in pieces, and perish even to the end.\n27 And that the kingdom, and power, and the greatness of the kingdom, under the whole heaven, may be given to the people of the saints of the most High: whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all kings shall serve him, and shall obey him.\n28 Hitherto is the end of the word.

And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up?\n29 And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it.\n30 Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn.\n31 Another parable he proposed unto them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.\n32 Which is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come, and dwell in the branches thereof.\n33 Another parable he spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.\n**34 All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without parables he did not speak to them.**\n35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.\n36 Then having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field.\n37 Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of man.\n38 And the field, is the world. And the good seed are the children of the kingdom. And the cockle, are the children of the wicked one.\n39 And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels.\n40 Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so shall it be at the end of the world.\n41 The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity.\n42 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.\n43 Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.\n44 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\n45 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.\n46 Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it.\n47 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes.\n48 Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.\n49 So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just.\n50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.\n51 Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.\n52 He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.\n53 And it came to pass: when Jesus had finished these parables, he passed from thence.\n54 And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this man by this wisdom and miracles?\n55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude:\n56 And his sisters, are they not all with us?

The children that should be born and should rise up, and declare them to their children.\n7 That they may put their hope in God and may not forget the works of God: and may seek his commandments.\n8 That they may not become like their fathers, a perverse and exasperating generation. A generation that set not their heart aright: and whose spirit was not faithful to God.\n9 The sons of Ephraim who bend and shoot with the bow: they have turned back in the day of battle.\n10 They kept not the covenant of God: and in his law they would not walk.\n11 And they forgot his benefits, and his wonders that he had shewn them.\n12 Wonderful things did he do in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Tanis.\n13 He divided the sea and brought them through: and he made the waters to stand as in a vessel.\n14 And he conducted them with a cloud by day: and all the night with a light of fire.\n15 He struck the rock in the wilderness: and gave them to drink, as out of the great deep.\n16 He brought forth water out of the rock: and made streams run down as rivers.\n17 And they added yet more sin against him: they provoked the most High to wrath in the place without water.\n18 And they tempted God in their hearts, by asking meat for their desires.\n19 And they spoke ill of God: they said: Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?\n20 Because he struck the rock, and the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed. Can he also give bread, or provide a table for his people?\n21 Therefore the Lord heard, and was angry: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel.\n22 Because they believed not in God: and trusted not in his salvation.\n23 And he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of heaven.\n24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the bread of heaven.\n25 Man ate the bread of angels: he sent them provisions in abundance.\n26 He removed the south wind from heaven: and by his power brought in the southwest wind.\n27 And he rained upon them flesh as dust: and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea.\n28 And they fell in the midst of their camp, round about their pavilions.\n29 So they did eat, and were filled exceedingly, and he gave them their desire:\n30 They were not defrauded of that which they craved. As yet their meat was in their mouth:\n31 And the wrath of God came upon them. And he slew the fat ones amongst them, and brought down the chosen men of Israel.\n32 In all these things they sinned still: and they believed not for his wondrous works.\n**33 And their days were consumed in vanity, and their years in haste.**\n34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned, and came to him early in the morning.\n35 And they remembered that God was their helper: and the most high God their redeemer.\n36 And they loved him with their mouth: and with their tongue they lied unto him:\n37 But their heart was not right with him: nor were they counted faithful in his covenant.\n38 But he is merciful, and will forgive their sins: and will not destroy them. And many a time did he turn away his anger: and did not kindle all his wrath.\n39 And he remembered that they are flesh: a wind that goeth and returneth not.\n40 How often did they provoke him in the desert: and move him to wrath in the place without water?\n41 And they turned back and tempted God: and grieved the holy one of Israel.\n42 They remembered not his hand, in the day that he redeemed them from the hand of him that afflicted them:\n43 How he wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Tanis.\n44 And he turned their rivers into blood, and their showers that they might, not drink.\n45 He sent amongst them divers sores of flies, which devoured them: and frogs which destroyed them.\n46 And he gave up their fruits to the blast, and their labours to the locust.\n47 And he destroyed their vineyards with hail, and their mulberry trees with hoarfrost.\n48 And he gave up their cattle to the hail, and their stock to the fire.\n49 And he sent upon them the wrath of his indignation: indignation and wrath and trouble, which he sent by evil angels.\n50 He made a way for a path to his anger: he spared not their souls from death, and their cattle he shut up in death.\n51 And he killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: the firstfruits of all their labour in the tabernacles of Cham.\n52 And he took away his own people as sheep: and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.\n53 And he brought them out in hope, and they feared not: band the sea overwhelmed their enemies.\n54 And he brought them into the mountain of his sanctuary: the mountain which his right hand had purchased. And he cast out the Gentiles before them: and by lot divided to them their land by a line of distribution.\n55 And he made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.\n56 Yet they tempted, and provoked the most high God: and they kept not his testimonies.\n57 And they turned away, and kept not the covenant: even like their fathers they were turned aside as a crooked bow.\n58 They provoked him to anger on their hills: and moved him to jealousy with their graven things.\n59 God heard, and despised them, and he reduced Israel exceedingly as it were to nothing.\n60 And he put away the tabernacle of Silo, his tabernacle where he dwelt among men.\n61 And he delivered their strength into captivity: and their beauty into the hands of the enemy.\n62 And he shut up his people under the sword: and he despised his inheritance.\n63 Fire consumed their young men: and their maidens were not lamented.\n64 Their priests fell by the sword: and their widows did not mourn.\n65 And the Lord was awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that hath been surfeited with wine.\n66 And he smote his enemies on the hinder parts: he put them to an everlasting reproach.\n67 And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph: and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:\n68 But he chose the tribe of Juda, mount Sion which he loved.\n69 And he built his sanctuary as of unicorns, in the land which he founded for ever.\n70 And he chose his servant David, and took him from the flocks of sheep: he brought him from following the ewes great with young,\n71 To feed Jacob his servant, and Israel his inheritance.\n72 And he fed them in the innocence of his heart: and conducted them by the skillfulness of his hands.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book, chapter, and verse is \"Darkness compasseth me about, and the walls cover me, and no man seeth me: whom do I fear?

Tell me, what hast thou in thy house? And she answered: I thy handmaid have nothing in my house but a little oil, to anoint me.\n3 And he said to her: Go, borrow of all thy neighbours empty vessels not a few.\n4 And go in, and shut thy door, when thou art within, and thy sons: and pour out thereof into all those vessels: and when they are full take them away.\n5 So the woman went, and shut the door upon her, and upon her sons: they brought her the vessels, and she poured in.\n6 And when the vessels were full, she said to her son: Bring me yet a vessel. And he answered: I have no more. And the oil stood.\n7 And she came, and told the man of God. And he said: Go, sell the oil, and pay thy creditor: and thou and thy sons live of the rest.\n8 And there was a day when Eliseus passed by Sunam: now there was a great woman there, who detained him to eat bread; and as he passed often that way, he turned into her house to eat bread.\n9 And she said to her husband: I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who often passeth by us.\n10 Let us therefore make him a little chamber, and put a little bed in it for him, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick, that when he cometh to us, he may abide there.\n11 Now there was a certain day when he came and turned in to the chamber, and rested there.\n12 And he said to Giezi his servant Call this Sunamitess.

And on a certain day, when he went out to his father to the reapers,\n19 He said to his father: My head acheth, my head acheth.

For I know their thoughts, and what they are about to do this day, before that I bring them into the land which I have promised them.\n22 Moses therefore wrote the canticle and taught it to the children of Israel.\n23 And the Lord commanded Josue the son of Nun, and said: Take courage, and be valiant: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I have promised, and I will be with thee.\n24 Therefore after Moses had wrote the words of this law in a volume, and finished it:\n25 He commanded the Levites, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord. saying:\n26 Take this book, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God: that it may be there for a testimony against thee.\n27 For I know thy obstinacy, and thy most stiff neck, While I am yet living, and going in with you, you have always been rebellious against the Lord: how much more when I shall be dead?\n28 Gather unto me all the ancients of your tribes, and your doctors, and I will speak these words in their hearing, and will call heaven and earth to witness against them.\n29 For I know that, after my death, you will do wickedly, and will quickly turn aside from the way that I have commanded you: and evils shall come upon you in the latter times, when you shall do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him by the works of your hands.\n30 Moses therefore spoke, in the hearing of the whole assembly of Israel, the words of this canticle, and finished it even to the end,\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where in the books does \"So on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which as we have said above is called Adar, when all the Jews were designed to be massacred, and their enemies were greedy after their blood, the case being altered, the Jews began to have the upper hand, and to revenge themselves of their adversaries.\" show up, chapter-wise?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "You're looking at a verse from *Esther*, chapter *9*.\n\nHere's what the chapter says:\n*Esther Chapter 9*\n**1 So on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which as we have said above is called Adar, when all the Jews were designed to be massacred, and their enemies were greedy after their blood, the case being altered, the Jews began to have the upper hand, and to revenge themselves of their adversaries.**\n2 And they gathered themselves together in every city, and town, and place, to lay their hands on their enemies, and their persecutors. And no one durst withstand them, for the fear of their power had gone through every people.\n3 And the judges of the provinces, and the governors, and lieutenants, and every one in dignity, that presided over every place and work, extolled the Jews for fear of Mardochai:\n4 For they knew him to be prince of the palace, and to have great power: and the fame of his name increased daily, and was spread abroad through all men's mouths.\n5 So the Jews made a great slaughter of their enemies, and killed them, repaying according to what they had prepared to do to them:\n6 Insomuch that even in Susan they killed five hundred men, besides the ten sons of Aman the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews: whose names are these:\n7 Pharsandatha, and Delphon, and Esphatha,\n8 And Phoratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,\n9 And Phermesta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Jezatha.\n10 And when they had slain them, they would not touch the spoils of their goods.\n11 And presently the number of them that were killed in Susan was brought to the king.\n12 And he said to the queen: The Jews have killed five hundred men in the city of Susan, besides the ten sons of Aman: how many dost thou think they have slain in all the provinces? What askest thou more, and what wilt thou have me to command to be done?\n13 And she answered: If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews, to do to morrow in Susan as they have done to day, and that the ten sons of Aman may be hanged upon gibbets.\n14 And the king commanded that it should be so done. And forthwith the edict was hung up in Susan, and the ten sons of Aman were hanged.\n15 And on the fourteenth day of the month Adar the Jews gathered themselves together, and they killed in Susan three hundred men: but they took not their substance.\n16 Moreover through all the provinces which were subject to the king's dominion the Jews stood for their lives, and slew their enemies and persecutors: insomuch that the number of them that were Billed amounted to seventy-five thousand, and no man took any of their goods.\n17 Now the thirteenth day of the month Adar was the first day with them all of the slaughter, and on the fourteenth day they left off. Which they ordained to be kept holy day, so that all times hereafter they should celebrate it with feasting, joy, and banquets.\n18 But they that were killing in the city of Susan, were employed in the slaughter on the thirteenth and fourteenth day of the same month: and on the fifteenth day they rested. And therefore they appointed that day to be a holy day of feasting and gladness.\n19 But those Jews that dwelt in towns not walled and in villages, appointed the fourteenth day of the month Adar for banquets and gladness, so as to rejoice on that day, and send one another portions of their banquets and meats.\n20 And Mardochai wrote all these things, and sent them comprised in letters to the Jews that abode in all the king's provinces, both those that lay near and those afar off,\n21 That they should receive the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the month Adar for holy days, and always at the return of the year should celebrate them with solemn honour:\n22 Because on those days the Jews revenged themselves of their enemies, and their mourning and sorrow were turned into mirth and joy, and that these should be days of feasting and gladness, in which they should send one to another portions of meats; and should give gifts to the poor.\n23 And the Jews undertook to observe with solemnity all they had begun to do at that time, which Mardochai by letters had commanded to be done.\n24 For Aman, the son of Amadathi of the race of Agag, the enemy and adversary of the Jews, had devised evil against them, to kill them and destroy them: and had cast Phur, that is, the lot.\n25 And afterwards Esther went in to the king, beseeching him that his endeavours might be made void by the king's letters: and the evil that he had intended against the Jews, might return upon his own head. And so both he and his sons were hanged upon gibbets.\n26 And since that time these days are called Phurim, that is, of lots: because Phur, that is, the lot, was cast into the urn. And all things that were done, are contained in the volume of this epistle, that is, of this book:\n27 And the things that they suffered, and that were afterwards changed, the Jews took upon themselves and their seed, and upon all that had a mind to be joined to their religion, so that it should be lawful for none to pass these days without solemnity: which the writing testifieth, and certain times require, as the years continually succeed one another.\n28 These are the days which shall never be forgot: and which all provinces in the whole world shall celebrate throughout all generations: neither is there any city wherein the days of Phurim, that is, of lots, must not be observed by the Jews, and by their posterity, which is bound to these ceremonies.\n29 And Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mardochai the Jew, wrote also a second epistle, that with all diligence this day should be established a festival for the time to come.\n30 And they sent to all the Jews that were in the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of king Assuerus, that they should have peace, and receive truth,\n31 And observe the days of lots, and celebrate them with joy in their proper time: as Mardochai and Esther had appointed, and they undertook them to be observed by themselves and by their seed, fasts, and cries, and the days of lots,\n32 And all things which are contained in the history of this book, which is called Esther.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What are the chapter and verse numbers for \"Behold my hand shall be upon thy fields: and a very grievous murrain upon thy horses, and asses, and camels, and oxen, and sheep.\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the book of Exodus, chapter 9, verse 3 of the Old Testament, you'll find \"Behold my hand shall be upon thy fields: and a very grievous murrain upon thy horses, and asses, and camels, and oxen, and sheep.\".", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Quote from Genesis chapter 36, verse 12", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**The Old Testament**\n*Genesis 36:12 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"And Thamna was the concubine of Eliphaz the son of Esau: and she bore him Amalech.

And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up?\n29 And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it.\n30 Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn.\n31 Another parable he proposed unto them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.\n32 Which is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come, and dwell in the branches thereof.\n33 Another parable he spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.\n34 All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without parables he did not speak to them.\n35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.\n36 Then having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field.\n37 Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of man.\n38 And the field, is the world. And the good seed are the children of the kingdom. And the cockle, are the children of the wicked one.\n39 And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels.\n40 Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so shall it be at the end of the world.\n41 The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity.\n42 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.\n43 Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.\n44 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field.

The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just.\n50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.\n51 Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.\n52 He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.\n53 And it came to pass: when Jesus had finished these parables, he passed from thence.\n54 And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this man by this wisdom and miracles?\n55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude:\n56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence therefore hath he all these things?\n57 And they were scandalized in his regard.

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.\n23 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.\n**27 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 suffer them not to continue any longer.\n39 Then Nicanor went out from Jerusalem, and encamped near to Bethoron: and an army of Syria joined him.\n40 But Judas pitched in Adarsa with three thousand

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

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

the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and sitting down he taught them.\n3 And the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst,\n4 And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery.\n5 Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou?\n6 And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground.\n7 When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.\n8 And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.\n9 But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst.\n10 Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee?\n11 Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more.\n12 Again therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the world: he that followeth me, walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life.\n13 The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou givest testimony of thyself: thy testimony is not true.\n14 Jesus answered, and said to them: Although I give testimony of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but you know not whence I come, or whither I go.\n15 You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man.\n16 And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.\n17 And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true.\n18 I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me.\n19 They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Neither me do you know, nor my Father: if you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.\n20 These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.\n21 Again therefore Jesus said to them: I go, and you shall seek me, and you shall die in your sin. Whither I go, you cannot come.\n22 The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go, you cannot come?\n23 And he said to them: You are from beneath, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world.\n24 Therefore I said to you, that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin.\n25 They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak unto you.\n26 Many things I have to speak and to judge of you. But he that sent me, is true: and the things I have heard of him, these same I speak in the world.\n27 And they understood not, that he called God his Father.\n28 Jesus therefore said to them: When you shall have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know, that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father hath taught me, these things I speak:\n29 And he that sent me, is with me, and he hath not left me alone: for I do always the things that please him.\n30 When he spoke these things, many believed in him.\n31 Then Jesus said to those Jews, who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed.\n32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.\n33 They answered him: We are the seed of Abraham, and we have never been slaves to any man: how sayest thou: you shall be free?\n34 Jesus answered them: Amen, amen I say unto you: that whosoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.\n35 Now the servant abideth not in the house for ever; but the son abideth for ever.\n36 If therefore the son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.\n37 I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.\n38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do the things that you have seen with your father.\n39 They answered, and said to him: Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them: If you be the children of Abraham, do the works of Abraham.\n40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who have spoken the truth to you, which I have heard of God. This Abraham did not.\n41 You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God.\n42 Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded, and came; for I came not of myself, but he sent me:\n43 Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.\n44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.\n45 But if I say the truth, you believe me not.\n46 Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me?\n47 He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.\n**48 The Jews therefore answered, and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?**\n49 Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father, and you have dishonoured me.\n50 But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.\n51 Amen, amen I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever.\n52 The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever.\n53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself?\n54 Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God.\n55 And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him, and do keep his word.\n56 Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad.\n57 The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?\n58 Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am.\n59 They took up stones therefore to cast at him.

And he reigned twelve years.\n2 And he did evil before the Lord, but not like his father and his mother: for he took away the statues of Baal, which his father had made.\n3 Nevertheless he stuck to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, nor did he depart from them.\n4 Now Mesa, king of Moab, nourished many sheep, and he paid to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams with their fleeces.\n5 And when Achab was dead, he broke the league which he had made with the king of Israel.\n**6 And king Joram went out that day from Samaria, and mustered all Israel.**\n7 And he sent to Josaphat king of Juda, saying: The king of Moab is revolted from me, come with me against him to battle. And he answered: I will come up: he that is mine, is thine: my people, thy people: and my horses, thy horses.\n8 And he said: Which way shall we go up? But he answered: By the desert of Edom.\n9 So the king of Israel, and the king of Juda, and the king of Edom went, and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey, and there was no water for the army, and for the beasts, that followed them.\n10 And the king of Israel said: Alas, alas, alas, the Lord hath gathered us three kings together, to deliver us into the hands of Moab!\n11 And Josaphat said: Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may beseech the Lord by him? And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered: Here is Eliseus the son of Saphat, who poured water on the hands of Elias.\n12 And Josaphat said: The word of the Lord is with him. And the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, and the king of Edom went down to him.\n13 And Eliseus said to the king of Israel: What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father, and thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him: Why hath the Lord gathered together these three kings, to deliver them into the hands of Moab?\n14 And Eliseus said to him: As the Lord of hosts liveth, in whose sight I stand, if I did not reverence the face of Josaphat king of Juda, I would not have hearkened to thee, nor looked on thee.\n15 But now bring me hither a minstrel. And when the minstrel played, the hand of the Lord came upon him, and he said:\n16 Thus saith the Lord: Make the channel of this torrent full of ditches.\n17 For thus saith the Lord: You shall not see wind, nor rain: and yet this channel shall be filled with waters, and you shall drink, you and your families, and your beasts.\n18 And this is a small thing in the sight of the Lord: moreover he will deliver also Moab into your hands.\n19 And you shall destroy every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall cut down every fruitful tree, and shall stop up all the springs of waters, and every goodly field you shall cover with stones.\n20 And it came to pass in the morning, when the sacrifices used to be offered, that behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.\n21 And all the Moabites hearing that the kings were come up to fight against them, gathered together all that were girded with a belt upon them, and stood in the borders.\n22 And they rose early in the morning, and the sun being now up, and shining upon the waters, the Moabites saw the waters over against them red, like blood,\n23 And they said: It is the blood of the sword: the kings have fought among themselves, and they have killed one another: go now, Moab, to the spoils.\n24 And they went into the camp of Israel: but Israel rising up defeated Moab, who fled before them. And they being conquerors, went and smote Moab.\n25 And they destroyed the cities: and they filled every goodly field, every man casting his stone: and they stopt up all the springs of waters: and cut down all the trees that bore fruit, so that brick walls only remained: and the city was beset by the slingers, and a great part thereof destroyed.\n26 And when the king of Moab saw this, to wit, that the enemies had prevailed, he took with him seven hundred men that drew the sword, to break in upon the king of Edom: but they could not.\n27 Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall: and there was great indignation in Israel, and presently they departed from him, and returned into their own country.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Do you know the book and chapter where \"In the second year of Joas son of Joachaz, king of Israel, reigned Amasias son of Joas king of Juda.\" is found?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Your verse is located in *2 Kings*, chapter *14*.\n\nTake a look at the whole chapter:\n*2 Kings Chapter 14*\n**1 In the second year of Joas son of Joachaz, king of Israel, reigned Amasias son of Joas king of Juda.**\n2 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and nine and twenty years he reigned in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Joadan of Jerusalem.\n3 And he did that which was right before the Lord, but yet not like David his father. He did according to all things that Joas his father did:\n4 But this only, that he took not away the high places: for yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.\n5 And when he had possession of the kingdom, he put his servants to death that had slain the king his father:\n6 But the children of the murderers he did not put to death, according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: but every man shall die for his own sins.\n7 He slew of Edom in the valley of the Saltpits ten thousand men, and took the rock by war, and called the name thereof Jectehel, unto this day.\n8 Then Amasias sent messengers to Joas son of Joachaz, son of Jehu king of Israel, saying: Come let us see one another.\n9 And Joas king of Israel sent again to Amasias king of Juda, saying: A thistle of Libanus sent to a cedar tree, which is in Libanus, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife. And the beasts of the forest, that are in Libanus, passed and trod down the thistle.\n10 Thou hast beaten and prevailed over Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up: be content with the glory, and sit at home: why provokest thou evil, that thou shouldst fall, and Juda with thee?\n11 But Amasias did not rest satisfied. So Joas king of Israel went up, and he and Amasias king of Juda saw one another in Bethsames a town in Juda.\n12 And Juda was put to the worst before Israel, and they fled every man to their dwellings.\n13 But Joas king of Israel took Amasias, king of Juda the son of Joas, the son of Ochozias, in Bethsames, and brought him into Jerusalem: and he broke down the wall of Jerusalem, from the gate of Ephraim to the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits.\n14 And he took all the gold, and silver, and all the vessels, that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the king's treasures, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.\n15 But the rest of the acts of Joas, which he did, and his valour, wherewith he fought against Amasias king of Juda, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?\n16 And Joas slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel: and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.\n17 And Amasias the son of Joas king of Juda lived, after the death of Joas son of Joachaz king of Israel fifteen years.\n18 And the rest of the acts of Amasias, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?\n19 Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: and he fled to Lachis.

Moreover Helcias, and Zacharias, and Jahiel rulers of the house of the Lord, gave to the priests to keep the phase two thousand six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.\n9 And Chonenias, and Semeias and Nathanael, his brethren, and Hasabias, and Jehiel, and Jozabad princes of the Levites, gave to the rest of the Levites to celebrate the phase five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.\n10 And the ministry was prepared, and the priests stood in their office: the Levites also in their companies, according to the king's commandment.\n11 And the phase was immolated: and the priests sprinkled the blood with their hand, and the Levites flayed the holocausts:\n12 And they separated them to give them by the houses and families of every one, and to be offered to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses, and with the oxen they did in like manner.\n13 And they roasted the phase with fire, according to that which is written in the law: but the victims of peace offerings they boiled in caldrons, and kettles, and pots, and they distributed them speedily among all the people.\n14 And afterwards they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: for the priests were busied in offering of holocausts and the fat until night: wherefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron last.\n15 And the singers the sons of Asaph stood in their order, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Idithun the prophets of the king: and the porters kept guard at every gate, so as not to depart one moment from their service: and therefore their brethren the Levites prepared meats for them.\n16 So all the service of the Lord was duly accomplished that day, both in keeping the phase, and offering holocausts upon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of king Josias.\n17 And the children of Israel that were found there, kept the phase at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.\n18 There was no phase like to this in Israel, from the days of Samuel the prophet: neither did any of all the kings of Israel keep such a phase as Josias kept, with the priests, and the Levites, and all Juda, and Israel that were found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.\n19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias was this phase celebrated.\n**20 After that Josias had repaired the temple, Nechao king of Egypt came up to fight in Charcamis by the Euphrates: and Josias went out to meet him.**\n21 But he sent messengers to him, saying: What have I to do with thee, O king of Juda?

But they said: What is that to us? look thou to it.\n5 And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed: and went and hanged himself with an halter.\n6 But the chief priests having taken the pieces of silver, said: It is not lawful to put them into the corbona, because it is the price of blood.\n7 And after they had consulted together, they bought with them the potter's field, to be a burying place for strangers.\n8 For this cause the field was called Haceldama, that is, The field of blood, even to this day.\n9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was prized, whom they prized of the children of Israel.\n10 And they gave them unto the potter's field, as the Lord appointed to me.\n11 And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? Jesus saith to him: Thou sayest it.\n12 And when he was accused by the chief priests and ancients, he answered nothing.\n13 Then Pilate saith to him: Dost not thou hear how great testimonies they allege against thee?\n14 And he answered him to never a word; so that the governor wondered exceedingly.\n15 Now upon the solemn day the governor was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner, whom they would.\n16 And he had then a notorious prisoner, that was called Barabbas.\n17 They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said: Whom will you that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus that is called Christ?\n18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.\n19 And as he was sitting in the place of judgment, his wife sent to him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.\n20 But the chief priests and ancients persuaded the people, that they should ask for Barabbas, and take Jesus away.\n21 And the governor answering, said to them: Whether will you of the two to be released unto you? But they said, Barabbas.\n22 Pilate saith to them: What shall I do then with Jesus that is called Christ? They say all: Let him be crucified.\n23 The governor said to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying: Let him be crucified.\n24 And Pilate seeing that he prevailed nothing, but that rather a tumult was made; taking water washed his hands before the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man; look you to it.\n25 And the whole people answering, said: His blood be upon us and our children.\n26 Then he released to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him unto them to be crucified.\n27 Then the soldiers of the governor taking Jesus into the hall, gathered together unto him the whole band;\n28 And stripping him, they put a scarlet cloak about him.\n29 And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail, king of the Jews.\n30 And spitting upon him, they took the reed, and struck his head.\n31 And after they had mocked him, they took off the cloak from him, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him.\n32 And going out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they forced to take up his cross.\n33 And they came to the place that is called Golgotha, which is the place of Calvary.\n34 And they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall. And when he had tasted, he would not drink.\n35 And after they had crucified him, they divided his garments, casting lots; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: They divided my garments among them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.\n36 And they sat and watched him.\n37 And they put over his head his cause written: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.\n38 Then were crucified with him two thieves: one on the right hand, and one on the left.\n39 And they that passed by, blasphemed him, wagging their heads,\n40 And saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God, and in three days dost rebuild it: save thy own self: if thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.\n41 In like manner also the chief priests, with the scribes and ancients, mocking, said:\n42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.\n43 He trusted in God; let him now deliver him if he will have him; for he said: I am the Son of God.\n44 And the selfsame thing the thieves also, that were crucified with him, reproached him with.\n45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole earth, until the ninth hour.\n46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?\n47 And some that stood there and heard, said: This man calleth Elias.\n48 And immediately one of them running took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar; and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.\n49 And the others said: Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to deliver him.\n50 And Jesus again crying with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.\n51 And behold the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top even to the bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rocks were rent.\n52 And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that had slept arose,\n53 And coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, came into the holy city, and appeared to many.\n**54 Now the centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were sore afraid, saying: Indeed this was the Son of God.**\n55 And there were there many women afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:\n56 Among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.\n57 And when it was evening, there came a certain rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus.\n58 He went to Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be delivered.\n59 And Joseph taking the body, wrapped it up in a clean linen cloth.\n60 And laid it in his own new monument, which he had hewed out in a rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the monument, and went his way.\n61 And there was there Mary Magdalen, and the other Mary sitting over against the sepulchre.\n62 And the next day, which followed the day of preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,\n63 Saying: Sir, we have remembered, that that seducer said, while he was yet alive: After three days I will rise again.\n64 Command therefore the sepulchre to be guarded until the third day: lest perhaps his disciples come and steal him away, and say to the people: He is risen from the dead; and the last error shall be worse than the first.\n65 Pilate saith to them: You have a guard; go, guard it as you know.\n66 And they departing, made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting guards.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book is the quote \"And I understood that God had not sent him, but that he had spoken to me as if he had been prophesying, and Tobias, and Sanaballat had hired him.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The scripture \"And I understood that God had not sent him, but that he had spoken to me as if he had been prophesying, and Tobias, and Sanaballat had hired him.\" is located in Nehemiah 6:12 of the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "I need the text of Numbers 4:35", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Old Testament, Numbers chapter 4, verse 35 (Douay Rheims) says:\n\"From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to the ministry of the tabernacle of the covenant:\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "In what book, at what chapter and verse, does \"Until justice be turned into judgment: and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.\" appear?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "You can find \"Until justice be turned into judgment: and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.\" in the Old Testament, specifically in Psalm 93:15.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Verse 3 from chapter 128 in Psalm?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Here's the passage from Psalm 128:3 in the Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Recite Wisdom 15:11", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**Old Testament**\n*Wisdom 15:11 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"Forasmuch as he knew not his maker and him that inspired into him the soul that worketh, and that breathed into him a living spirit.\"", "role": "assistant" } ]

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:\n**14 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.\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": "Book: 1 Samuel\nChapter: 3\nVerse: 13", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Quoting from 1 Samuel 3:13, Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"For I have foretold unto him, that I will judge his house for ever, for iniquity, because he knew that his sons did wickedly, and did not chastise them.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book should I look at for \"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.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you've got in mind is from *1 Samuel*, chapter *26*.\n\nHere's the full rundown of the chapter:\n*1 Samuel Chapter 26*\n1 And the men of Ziph came to Saul in Gabaa, saying: Behold David is hid in the hill of Hachila, which is over against the wilderness.\n2 And Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having with him three thousand chosen men of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.\n3 And Saul encamped in Gabaa Hachila, which was over against the wilderness in the way: and David abode in the wilderness. And seeing that Saul was come after him into the wilderness,\n4 He sent spies, and learned that he was most certainly come thither.\n5 And David arose secretly, and came to the place where Saul was: and when he had beheld the place, wherein Saul slept, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army, and Saul sleeping in a tent, and the rest of the multitude round about him,\n6 David spoke to Achimelech the Hethite, and Abisai the son of Sarvia the brother of Joab, saying: Who will go down with me to Saul into the camp? And Abisai said: I will go with thee.\n7 So David and Abisai came to the people by night, and found Saul lying and sleeping in the tent, and his spear fixed in the ground at his head: and Abner and the people sleeping round about him.\n8 And Abisai said to David: God hath shut up thy enemy this day into thy hands: now then I will run him through with my spear even to the earth at once, and there shall be no need of a second time.\n9 And David said to Abisai: Kill him not: for who shall put forth his hand against the Lord's anointed, and shall be guiltless?\n10 And David said: As the Lord liveth, unless the Lord shall strike him, or his day shall come to die, or he shall go down to battle and perish:\n11 The Lord be merciful unto me, that I extend not my hand upon the Lord's anointed. But now take the spear, which is at his head, and the cup of water, and let us go.\n12 So David took the spear, and the cup of water which was at Saul's head, and they went away: and no man saw it, or knew it, or awaked, but they were all asleep, for a deep sleep from the Lord was fallen upon them.\n13 And when David was gone over to the other side. and stood on the top of the hill afar off, and a good space was between them,\n14 David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying: Wilt thou not answer, Abner? And Abner answering, said: Who art thou, that criest, and disturbest the king?\n15 And David said to Abner: Art not thou a man? and who is like thee in Israel? why then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to kill the king thy lord.\n16 This thing is not good, that thou hast done: as the Lord liveth, you are the sons of death, who have not kept your master, the Lord's anointed. 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.\n**20 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.

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.\n**15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he might touch them.

And whereas he saith,\n27 All things are put under him; undoubtedly, he is excepted, who put all things under him.\n28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then the Son also himself shall be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.\n29 Otherwise what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not again at all? why are they then baptized for them?\n30 Why also are we in danger every hour?\n31 I die daily, I protest by your glory, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.\n32 If (according to man) I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me, if the dead rise not again? Let us eat and drink, for to morrow we shall die.\n33 Be not seduced: Evil communications corrupt good manners.\n34 Awake, ye just, and sin not. For some have not the knowledge of God, I speak it to your shame.\n35 But some man will say: How do the dead rise again? or with what manner of body shall they come?\n36 Senseless man, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die first.\n37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be; but bare grain, as of wheat, or of some of the rest.\n38 But God giveth it a body as he will: and to every seed its proper body.\n39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but one is the flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, another of fishes.\n40 And there are bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but, one is the glory of the celestial, and another of the terrestrial.\n41 One is the glory of the sun, another the glory of the moon, and another the glory of the stars. For star differeth from star in glory.\n42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it shall rise in incorruption.\n43 It is sown in dishonour, it shall rise in glory. It is sown in weakness, it shall rise in power.\n44 It is sown a natural body, it shall rise a spiritual body. If there be a natural body, there is also a spiritual body, as it is written:\n45 The first man Adam was made into a living soul; the last Adam into a quickening spirit.\n46 Yet that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; afterwards that which is spiritual.\n47 The first man was of the earth, earthly: the second man, from heaven, heavenly.\n48 Such as is the earthly, such also are the earthly: and such as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly.\n49 Therefore as we have borne the image of the earthly, let us bear also the image of the heavenly.\n50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption.\n51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall all indeed rise again: but we shall not all be changed.\n**52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall rise again incorruptible: and we shall be changed.**\n53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption; and this mortal must put on immortality.\n54 And when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.\n55 O death, where is thy victory?

And one row had fifteen pillars,\n4 Set one against another,\n5 And looking one upon another, with equal space between the pillars, and over the pillars were square beams in all things equal.\n6 And he made a porch of pillars of fifty cubits in length, and thirty cubits in breadth: and another porch before the greater porch: and pillars, and chapiters upon the pillars.\n7 He made also the porch of the throne, wherein is the seat of judgment: and covered it with cedar wood from the floor to the top.\n8 And in the midst of the porch, was a small house where he sat in judgment, of the like work. He made also a house for the daughter of Pharao (whom Solomon had taken to wife) of the same work, as this porch,\n9 All of costly stones, which were sawed by a certain rule and measure both within and without: from the foundation to the top of the walls, and without unto the great court.\n10 And the foundations were of costly stones, great stones of ten cubits or eight cubits:\n11 And above there were costly stones, or equal measure, hewed; and, in like manner, planks of cedar:\n12 And the greater court was made round with three rows of hewed stones, and one row of planks of cedar, moreover also in the inner court of the house of the Lord, and in the porch of the house.\n13 And king Solomon sent, and brought Hiram from Tyre,\n14 The son of a widow woman of the tribe of Nephtali, whose father was a Tyrian, an artificer in brass, and full of wisdom, and understanding, and skill to work all work in brass. And when he was come to king Solomon, he wrought all his work.\n15 And he cast two pillars in brass, each pillar was eighteen cubits high: and a line of twelve cubits compassed both the pillars.\n16 He made also two chapiters of molten brass, to be set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits:\n17 And a kind of network, and chain work wreathed together with wonderful art. Both the chapiters of the pillars were cast: seven rows of nets were on one chapiter, and seven nets on the other chapiter.\n18 And he made the pillars, and two rows round about each network to cover the chapiters, that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and in like manner did he to the other chapiter.\n19 And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars, were of lily work in the porch, of four cubits.\n20 And again other chapiters in the top of the pillars above, according to the measure of the pillar over against the network: and of pomegranates there were two hundred in rows round about the other chapiter.\n21 And he set up the two pillars in the porch of the temple: and when he had set up the pillar on the right hand, he called the name thereof Jachin: in like manner he set up the second pillar, and called the name thereof Booz.\n22 And upon the tops of the pillars he made lily work: so the work of the pillars was finished.\n23 He made also a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round all about; the height of it was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.\n24 And a graven work under the brim of it compassed it, for ten cubits going about the sea: there were two rows cast of chamfered sculptures.\n25 And it stood upon twelve oxen, of which three looked towards the north, and three towards the west, and three towards the south, and three towards the east, and the sea was above upon them, and their hinder parts were all hid within.\n26 And the laver was a handbreadth thick: and the brim thereof was like the brim of a cup, or the leaf of a crisped lily: it contained two thousand bates.\n27 And he made ten bases of brass, every base was four cubits in length, and four cubits in breadth, and three cubits high.\n28 And the work itself of the bases, was intergraven: and there were gravings between the joinings.\n29 And between the little crowns and the ledges were lions, and oxen, and cherubims: and in the joinings likewise above: and under the lions and oxen, as it were bands of brass hanging down.\n30 And every base had four wheels, and axletrees of brass: and at the four sides were undersetters under the laver molten, looking one against another.\n31 The mouth also of the laver within, was in the top of the chapiter: and that which appeared without, was of one cubit all round, and together it was one cubit and a half: and in the corners of the pillars were divers engravings: and the spaces between the pillars were square, not round.\n**32 And the four wheels, which were at the four corners of the base, were joined one to another under the base: the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.**\n33 And they were such wheels as are used to be made in a chariot: and their axletrees, and spokes, and strakes, and naves, were all east.\n34 And the four undersetters that were at every corner of each base, were of the base itself cast and joined together.\n35 And in the top of the base there was a round compass of half a cubit, so wrought that the laver might be set thereon, having its gravings, and divers sculptures of itself.\n36 He engraved also in those plates, which were of brass. and in the corners, cherubims, and lions, and palm trees, in likeness of a man standing, so that they seemed not to be engraven, but added round about.\n37 After this manner he made ten bases, of one casting and measure, and the like graving.\n38 He made also ten lavers of brass: one laver contained four bases, and was of four cubits: and upon every base, in all ten, he put as many lavers.\n39 And he set the ten bases, five on the right side of the temple, and five on the left: and the sea he put on the right side of the temple over against the east southward.\n40 And Hiram made caldrons, and shovels, and basins, and finished all the work of king Solomon in the temple of the Lord.\n41 The two pillars and the two cords of the chapiters, upon the chapiters of the pillars: and the two networks, to cover the two cords, that were upon the top of the pillars.\n42 And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks: two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the cords of the chapiters, which were upon the tops of the pillars.\n43 And the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases.\n44 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea.\n45 And the caldrons, and the shovels, and the basins.

And one said to the other:\n13 Let us now go home, for it is dinner time. So going out they departed one from another.\n14 And turning back again, they came both to the same place: and asking one another the cause, they acknowledged their lust; and then they agreed upon a time, when they might find her alone.\n15 And it fell out, as they watched a fit day, she went in on a time, as yesterday and the day before, with two maids only, and was desirous to wash herself in the orchard: for it was hot weather.\n16 And there was nobody there, but the two old men that had hid themselves and were beholding her.\n17 So she said to the maids: Bring me oil, and washing balls, and shut the doors of the orchard, that I may wash me.\n18 And they did as she bade them: and they shut the doors of the orchard, and went out by a back door to fetch what she had commanded them, and they knew not that the elders were hid within.\n19 Now when the maids were gone forth, the two elders arose, and ran to her, and said:\n20 Behold the doors of the orchard are shut, and nobody seeth us, and we are in love with thee: wherefore consent to us, and lie with us.\n21 But if thou wilt not, we will bear witness against thee, that a young man was with thee, and therefore thou didst send away thy maids from thee.\n22 Susanna sighed, and said: I am straitened on every side: for if I do this thing, it is death to me: and if I do it not, I shall not escape your hands.\n23 But it is better for me to fall into your hands without doing it, than to sin in the sight of the Lord.\n24 With that Susanna cried out with a loud voice: and the elders also cried out against her.\n25 And one of them ran to the door of the orchard, and opened it.\n26 So when the servants of the house heard the cry in the orchard, they rushed in by the back door to see what was the matter.\n27 But after the old men had spoken, the servants were greatly ashamed: for never had there been any such word said of Susanna.

they put to flight all that dwelt in the valleys both toward the east and toward the west.\n16 And there came also of the men of Benjamin, and of Juda to the hold, in which David abode.\n17 And David went out to meet them, and said: If you are come peaceably to me to help me, let my heart be joined to you: but if you plot against me for my enemies whereas I have no iniquity in my hands, let the God of our fathers see, and judge.\n18 But the spirit came upon Amasai the chief among thirty, and he said: We are thine, O David, and for thee, O son of Isai: peace, peace be to thee, and peace to thy helpers. For thy God helpeth thee. So David received them, and made them captains of the band.\n19 And there were some of Manasses that went over to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to fight: but he did not fight with them: because the lords of the Philistines taking counsel sent him back, saying: With the danger of our heads he will return to his master Saul.\n20 So when he went back to Siceleg, there fled to him of Manasses, Ednas and Jozabad, and Jedihel, and Michael, and Ednas, and Jozabad, and Eliu, and Salathi, captains of thousands in Manasses.\n21 These helped David against the rovers: for they were all most valiant men, and were made commanders in the army.\n22 Moreover day by day there came some to David to help him till they became a great number, like the army of God.\n23 And this is the number of the chiefs of the army who came to David, when he was in Hebron, to transfer to him the kingdom of Saul, according to the word of the Lord.\n24 The sons of Juda bearing shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred well appointed to war.\n25 Of the sons of Simeon valiant men for war, seven thousand one hundred.\n26 Of the sons of Levi, four thousand six hundred.\n27 And Joiada prince of the race of Aaron, and with him three thousand seven hundred.\n28 Sadoc also a young man of excellent disposition, and the house of his father, twenty-two principal men.\n29 And of the sons of Benjamin the brethren of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto a great part of them followed the house of Saul.\n30 And of the sons of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, men of great valour renowned in their kindreds.\n31 And of the half tribe of Manasses, eighteen thousand, every one by their names, came to make David king.\n32 Also of the sons of Issachar men of understanding, that knew all times to order what Israel should do, two hundred principal men: and all the rest of the tribe followed their counsel.\n33 And of Zabulon such as went forth to battle, and stood in array well appointed with armour for war, there came fifty thousand to his aid, with no double heart.\n34 And of Nephtali, a thousand leaders: and with them seven and thirty thousand, furnished with shield and spear.\n35 Of Dan also twenty-eight thousand six hundred prepared for battle.\n36 And of Aser forty thousand going forth to fight, and challenging in battle.\n37 And on the other side of the Jordan of the sons of Ruben, and of Gad, and of the half of the tribe of Manasses a hundred and twenty thousand, furnished with arms for war.\n38 All these men of war well appointed to fight, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel, were of one heart to make David king.\n39 And they were there with David three days eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.\n40 Moreover they that were near them even as far as Issachar, and Zabulon, and Nephtali, brought leaves on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, to eat: meal, figs, raisins, wine, oil, and oxen, and sheep in abundance, for there was joy in Israel.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the chapter and book tied to \"But to me it is a very small thing to be judged by you, or by man's day; but neither do I judge my own self.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "That one's from *1 Corinthians*, chapter *4*.\n\nHere's the chapter it's part of:\n*1 Corinthians Chapter 4*\n1 Let a man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ, and the dispensers of the mysteries of God.\n2 Here now it is required among the dispensers, that a man be found faithful.\n**3 But to me it is a very small thing to be judged by you, or by man's day; but neither do I judge my own self.**\n4 For I am not conscious to myself of any thing, yet am I not hereby justified; but he that judgeth me, is the Lord.\n5 Therefore judge not before the time; until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall every man have praise from God.\n6 But these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollo, for your sakes; that in us you may learn, that one be not puffed up against the other for another, above that which is written.\n7 For who distinguisheth thee?

Go, and tell thy master: Elias is here.\n9 And he said: What have I sinned, that thou wouldst deliver me thy servant into the hand of Achab, that he should kill me?\n10 As the Lord thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when all answered: He is not here: he took an oath of every kingdom and nation, because thou wast not found.\n11 And now thou sayest to me: Go, and tell thy master: Elias is here.\n12 And when I am gone from thee, the spirit of the Lord will carry thee into a place that I know not: and I shall go in and tell Achab, and he not finding thee, will kill me: but thy servant feareth the Lord from his infancy.\n13 Hath it not been told thee, my lord, what I did when Jezabel killed the prophets of the Lord, how I hid a hundred men of the prophets of the Lord, by fifty and fifty in caves, and fed them with bread and water?\n14 And now thou sayest: Go, and tell thy master: Elias is here: that he may kill me.\n**15 And Elias said: As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whose face I stand, this day I will shew myself unto him.**\n16 Abdias therefore went to meet Achab, and told him: and Achab came to meet Elias.\n17 And when he had seen him, he said: Art thou he that troublest Israel?\n18 And he said: I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy father's house, who have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and have followed Baalim.\n19 Nevertheless send now, and gather unto me all Israel, unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, who eat at Jezabel's table.\n20 Achab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered together the prophets unto mount Carmel.\n21 And Elias coming to all the people, said: How long do you halt between two sides? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people did not answer him a word.\n22 And Elias said again to the people: I only remain a prophet of the Lord: but the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men.\n23 Let two bullocks be given us, and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces and lay it upon wood, but put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under it.\n24 Call ye on the names of your gods, and I will call on the name of my Lord: and the God that shall answer by fire, let him be God. And all the people answering said: A very good proposal.\n25 Then Elias said to the prophets of Baal: Choose you one bullock and dress it first, because you are many: and call on the names of your gods, but put no fire under.\n26 And they took the bullock which he gave them, and dressed it: and they called on the name of Baal from morning even till noon, saying: O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered: and they leaped over the altar that they had made.\n27 And when it was now noon, Elias jested at them, saying: Cry with a louder voice: for he is a God, and perhaps he is talking, or is in an inn, or on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep, and must be awaked.\n28 So they cried with a loud voice, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till they were all covered with blood.\n29 And after midday was past, and while they were prophesying, the time was come of offering sacrifice, and there was no voice heard, nor did any one answer, nor regard them as they prayed:\n30 Elias said to all the people: Come ye unto me. And the people coming near unto him, he repaired the altar of the Lord, that was broken down:\n31 And he took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord came, saying: Israel shall be thy name.\n32 And he built with the stones an altar to the name of the Lord: and he made a trench for water, of the breadth of two furrows round about the altar.\n33 And he laid the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it upon the wood.\n34 And he said: Fill four buckets with water, and pour it upon the burnt offering, and upon the wood. And again he said: Do the same the second time. And when they had done it the second time, he said: Do the same also the third time. And they did so the third time.\n35 And the water run round about the altar, and the trench was filled with water.\n36 And when it was now time to offer the holocaust, Elias the prophet came near and said: O Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, shew this day that thou art the God of Israel, and I thy servant, and that according to thy commandment I have done all these things.\n37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me: that this people may learn, that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart again.\n38 Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the holocaust, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.\n39 And when all the people saw this, they fell on their faces, and they said: The Lord he is God, the Lord he is God.\n40 And Elias said to them: Take the prophets of Baal, and let not one of them escape. And when they had taken them, Elias brought them down to the torrent Cison, and killed them there.\n41 And Elias said to Achab: Go up, eat, and drink: for there is a sound of abundance of rain.\n42 Achab went up to eat and drink: and Elias went up to the top of Carmel, and casting himself down upon the earth put his face between his knees,\n43 And he said to his servant: Go up, and look toward the sea.

Declaring the praises of the Lord, and his powers, and his wonders which he hath done.\n5 And he set up a testimony in Jacob: and made a law in Israel.

Can he also give bread, or provide a table for his people?\n21 Therefore the Lord heard, and was angry: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel.\n22 Because they believed not in God: and trusted not in his salvation.\n23 And he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of heaven.\n24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the bread of heaven.\n25 Man ate the bread of angels: he sent them provisions in abundance.\n26 He removed the south wind from heaven: and by his power brought in the southwest wind.\n27 And he rained upon them flesh as dust: and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea.\n28 And they fell in the midst of their camp, round about their pavilions.\n29 So they did eat, and were filled exceedingly, and he gave them their desire:\n30 They were not defrauded of that which they craved.

Maccabees Chapter 1*\n1 Now it came to pass, after that Alexander the son of Philip the Macedonian, who first reigned in Greece, coming out of the land of Cethim, had overthrown Darius king of the Persians and Medes:\n2 He fought many battles, and took the strong holds of all, and slew the kings of the earth:\n3 And he went through even to the ends of the earth, and took the spoils of many nations: and the earth was quiet before him.\n4 And he gathered a power, and a very strong army: and his heart was exalted and lifted up.\n5 And he subdued countries of nations, and princes: and they became tributaries to him.\n6 And after these things, he fell down upon his bed, and knew that he should die.\n7 And he called his servants the nobles that were brought up with him from his youth: and he divided his kingdom among them, while he was yet alive.\n8 And Alexander reigned twelve years, and he died.\n9 And his servants made themselves kings every one in his place:\n10 And they all put crowns upon themselves after his death, and their sons after them many years, and evils were multiplied in the earth.\n11 And there came out of them a wicked root, Antiochus the Illustrious, the son of king Antiochus, who had been a hostage at Rome: and he reigned in the hundred and thirty-seventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks.\n12 In those days there went out of Israel wicked men, and they persuaded many, saying: Let us go, and make a covenant with the heathens that are round about us: for since we departed from them, many evils have befallen us.\n13 And the word seemed good in their eyes.\n14 And some of the people determined to do this, and went to the king: and he gave them license to do after the ordinances of the heathens.\n15 And they built a place of exercise in Jerusalem, according to the laws of the nations:\n16 And they made themselves prepuces, and departed from the holy covenant, and joined themselves to the heathens, and were sold to do evil.\n17 And the kingdom was established before Antiochus, and he had a mind to reign over the land of Egypt, that he might reign over two kingdoms.\n18 And he entered into Egypt with a great multitude, with chariots and elephants, and horsemen, and a great number of ships:\n19 And he made war against Ptolemee king of Egypt, but Ptolemee was afraid at his presence, and fled, and many were wounded unto death.\n20 And he took the strong cities in the land of Egypt: and he took the spoils of the land of Egypt.\n21 And after Antiochus had ravaged Egypt in the hundred and forty-third year, he returned and went up against Israel.\n22 And he went up to Jerusalem with a great multitude.\n23 And he proudly entered into the sanctuary, and took away the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all the vessels thereof, and the table of proposition, and the pouring vessels, and the vials, and the little mortars of gold, and the veil, and the crowns, and the golden ornament that was before the temple: and he broke them all in pieces.\n24 And he took the silver and gold, and the precious vessels: and he took the hidden treasures which he found: and when he had taken all away he departed into his own country.\n25 And he made a great slaughter of men, and spoke very proudly.\n**26 And there was great mourning in Israel, and in every place where they were.**\n27 And the princes, and the ancients mourned, and the virgins and the young men were made feeble, and the beauty of the women was changed.\n28 Every bridegroom took up lamentation: and the bride that sat in the marriage bed, mourned:\n29 And the land was moved for the inhabitants thereof, and all the house of Jacob was covered with confusion.\n30 And after two full years the king sent the chief collector of his tributes to the cities of Juda, and he came to Jerusalem with a great multitude.\n31 And he spoke to them peaceable words in deceit: and they believed him.\n32 And he fell upon the city suddenly, and struck it with a great slaughter, and destroyed much people in Israel.\n33 And he took the spoils of the city, and burnt it with fire, and threw down the houses thereof, and the walls thereof round about:\n34 And they took the women captive, and the children, and the cattle they possessed.\n35 And they built the city of David with a great and strong wall, and with strong towers, and made it a fortress for them:\n36 And they placed there a sinful nation, wicked men, and they fortified themselves therein: and they stored up armour, and victuals, and gathered together the spoils of Jerusalem;\n37 And laid them up there: and they became a great snare.\n38 And this was a place to lie in wait against the sanctuary, and an evil devil in Israel.\n39 And they shed innocent blood round about the sanctuary, and defiled the holy place.\n40 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem fled away by reason of them, and the city was made the habitation of strangers, and she became a stranger to her own seed, and her children forsook her.\n41 Her sanctuary was desolate like a wilderness, her festival days were turned into mourning, her sabbaths into reproach, her honours were brought to nothing.\n42 Her dishonour was increased according to her glory, and her excellency was turned into mourning.\n43 And king Antiochus wrote to all his kingdom, that all the people should be one: and every one should leave his own law.\n44 And all nations consented according to the word of king Antiochus.\n45 And many of Israel consented to his service, and they sacrificed to idols, and profaned the sabbath.\n46 And the king sent letters by the hands of messengers to Jerusalem, and to all the cities of Juda: that they should follow the law of the nations of the earth,\n47 And should forbid holocausts and sacrifices, and atonements to be made in the temple of God.\n48 And should prohibit the sabbath, and the festival days, to be celebrated.\n49 And he commanded the holy places to be profaned, and the holy people of Israel.\n50 And he commanded altars to be built, and temples, and idols, and swine's flesh to be immolated, and unclean beasts.\n51 And that they should leave their children uncircumcised, and let their souls be defiled with all uncleannesses, and abominations, to the end that they should forget the law, and should change all the justifications of God.\n52 And that whosoever would not do according to the word of king Antiochus should be put to death.\n53 According to all these words he wrote to his whole kingdom, and he appointed rulers over the people that should force them to do these things.\n54 And they commanded the cities of Juda to sacrifice.\n55 Then many of the people were gathered to them that had forsaken the law of the Lord: and they committed evils in the land:\n56 And they drove away the people of Israel into lurking holes, and into the secret places of fugitives.\n57 On the fifteenth day of the month Casleu, in the hundred and forty-fifth year, king Antiochus set up the abominable idol of desolation upon the altar of God, and they built altars throughout all the cities of Juda round about:\n58 And they burnt incense, and sacrificed at the doors of the houses, and in the streets.\n59 And they cut in pieces, and burnt with fire the books of the law of God:\n60 And every one with whom the books of the testament of the Lord were found, and whosoever observed the law of the Lord, they put to death, according to the edict of the king.\n61 Thus by their power did they deal with the people of Israel, that were found in the cities month after month.\n62 And on the five and twentieth day of the month they sacrificed upon the altar of the idol that was over against the altar of God.\n63 Now the women that circumcised their children, were slain according to the commandment of king Antiochus.\n64 And they hanged the children about their necks in all their houses: and those that had circumcised them, they put to death.\n65 And many of the people of Israel determined with themselves, that they would not eat unclean things: and they chose rather to die than to be defiled with unclean meats.\n66 And they would not break the holy law of God, and they were put to death:\n67 And there was very great wrath upon the people.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Read me 1 Maccabees 12:53", "role": "user" }, { "content": "1 Maccabees

Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.\n5 And Ananias hearing these words, fell down, and gave up the ghost. And there came great fear upon all that heard it.\n6 And the young men rising up, removed him, and carrying him out, buried him.\n7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.\n8 And Peter said to her: Tell me, woman, whether you sold the land for so much? And she said: Yea, for so much.\n9 And Peter said unto her: Why have you agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out.\n10 Immediately she fell down before his feet, and gave up the ghost. And the young men coming in, found her dead: and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.\n11 And there came great fear upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.\n12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.\n13 But of the rest no man durst join himself unto them; but the people magnified them.\n14 And the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord, was more increased:\n15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that when Peter came, his shadow at the least, might overshadow any of them, and they might be delivered from their infirmities.\n16 And there came also together to Jerusalem a multitude out of the neighbouring cities, bringing sick persons, and such as were troubled with unclean spirits; who were all healed.\n17 Then the high priest rising up, and all they that were with him, (which is the heresy of the Sadducees,) were filled with envy.\n18 And they laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.\n19 But an angel of the Lord by night opening the doors of the prison, and leading them out, said:\n20 Go, and standing speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.\n21 Who having heard this, early in the morning, entered into the temple, and taught. And the high priest coming, and they that were with him, called together the council, and all the ancients of the children of Israel; and they sent to the prison to have them brought.\n22 But when the ministers came, and opening the prison, found them not there, they returned and told,\n23 Saying: The prison indeed we found shut with all diligence, and the keepers standing before the doors; but opening it, we found no man within.\n24 Now when the officer of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt concerning them, what would come to pass.\n25 But one came and told them: Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple standing, and teaching the people.\n26 Then went the officer with the ministers, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.\n27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,\n28 Saying: Commanding we commanded you, that you should not teach in this name; and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us.\n29 But Peter and the apostles answering, said: We ought to obey God, rather than men.\n30 The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom you put to death, hanging him upon a tree.\n31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand, to be Prince and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.\n**32 And we are witnesses of these things and the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to all that obey him.**\n33 When they had heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they thought to put them to death.\n34 But one in the council rising up, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, respected by all the people, commanded the men to be put forth a little while.\n35 And he said to them: Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do, as touching these men.\n36 For before these days rose up Theodas, affirming himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all that believed him were scattered, and brought to nothing.\n37 After this man, rose up Judas of Galilee, in the days of the enrolling, and drew away the people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as consented to him, were dispersed.\n38 And now, therefore, I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought;\n39 But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it, lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God. And they consented to him.\n40 And calling in the apostles, after they had scourged them, they charged them that they should not speak at all in the name of Jesus; and they dismissed them.\n41 And they indeed went from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus.\n42 And every day they ceased not in the temple, and from house to house, to teach and preach Christ Jesus.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you tell me the book and chapter for \"Know this day the things that your children know not, who saw not the chastisements of the Lord your God. his great doings and strong hand, and stretched out arm,\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "That's from *Deuteronomy*, chapter *11*.\n\nWant the full chapter?

"content": "That verse comes from *1 Maccabees*, chapter *6*.\n\nCheck out the whole chapter:\n*1 Maccabees Chapter 6*\n1 Now king Antiochus was going through the higher countries, and he heard that the city of Elymais in Persia was greatly renowned, and abounding in silver and gold.\n2 And that there was in it a temple, exceeding rich: and coverings of gold, and breastplates, and shields 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 which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls as before, and Bethsura also his city.\n8 And it came to pass when the king heard these 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 friends, and he made him regent over all his kingdom.\n15 And he gave him the crown, and his robe, and his ring, that he should go to Antiochus his son, and should bring him up for the kingdom.\n16 So king Antiochus died there in the year one hundred and forty-nine.\n17 And Lysias understood that the king was dead, and he set up Antiochus his son to reign, whom he brought up young: and he called his name Eupator.\n18 Now they that were in the castle, had shut up the Israelites round about the holy places: and they were continually seeking their hurt, and to strengthen the Gentiles.\n19 And Judas purposed to destroy them: and he called together all the people, to besiege them.\n20 And they came together, and besieged them in the year one hundred and fifty, and they made battering slings and engines.\n21 And some of the besieged got out: and some wicked men of Israel joined themselves unto them.\n22 And they went to the king, and said: How long dost thou delay to execute the judgment, and to revenge our brethren?\n23 We determined to serve thy father and to do according to his orders, and obey his edicts:\n24 And for this they of our nation are alienated from us, and have slain as many of us as they could find, and have spoiled our inheritances.\n25 Neither have they put forth their hand against us only, but also against all our borders.\n26 And behold they have approached this day to the castle of Jerusalem to take it, and they have fortified the stronghold of Bethsura:\n27 And unless thou speedily prevent them, they will do greater things than these, and thou shalt not be able to subdue them.\n28 Now when the king heard this, he was angry: and he called together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and them that were over the horsemen.\n29 There came also to him from other realms, and from the islands of the sea hired troops.\n30 And the number of his army was an hundred thousand footmen, and twenty thousand horsemen, and thirty-two elephants, trained to battle.\n31 And they went through Idumea, and approached to Bethsura, and fought many days, and they made engines: but they sallied forth and burnt them with fire, and fought manfully.\n32 And Judas departed from the castle, and removed the camp to Bethzacharam, over against the king's camp.\n33 And the king rose before it was light, and made his troops march on fiercely towards the way of Bethzacharam: and the armies made themselves ready for the battle, and they sounded the trumpets:\n**34 And they shewed the elephants the blood of grapes, and mulberries to provoke them to fight.**\n35 And they distributed the beasts by the legions: and there stood by every elephant a thousand men in coats of mail, and with helmets of brass on their heads: and five hundred horsemen set in order were chosen for every beast.\n36 These before the time wheresoever the beast was, the were there: and withersoever it went, they went, and they departed not from it.\n37 And upon the beast, there were 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.\n49 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": "Where exactly in the Bible is \"Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.\" written?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The scripture \"Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.\" is located in 2 Chronicles 33:1 of the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where exactly in the Bible is \"Bear not the yoke with unbelievers.

They went on their way, and when they came to mount Ephraim, they went into the house of Michas, and rested there:\n3 And knowing the voice of the young man the Levite, and lodging with him, they said to him: Who brought thee hither? what dost thou here? why wouldst thou come hither?\n**4 He answered them: Michas hath done such and such things for me, and hath hired me to be his priest.**\n5 Then they desired him to consult the Lord, that they might know whether their journey should be prosperous, and the thing should have effect.\n6 He answered them: Go in peace, the Lord looketh on your way, and the journey that you go.\n7 So the five men going on came to Lais: and they saw how the people dwelt therein without any fear, according to the custom of the Sidonians, secure and easy, having no man at all to oppose them, being very rich, and living separated, at a distance from Sidon and from all men.\n8 And they returned to their brethren in Saraa and Esthaol, who asked them what they had done? to whom they answered:\n9 Arise, and let us go up to them: for we have seen the land which is exceeding rich and fruitful: neglect not, lose no time: let us go and possess it, there will be no difficulty.\n10 We shall come to a people that is secure, into a spacious country, and the Lord will deliver the place to us, in which there is no want of any thing that groweth on the earth.\n11 There went therefore of the kindred of Dan, to wit, from Saraa and Esthaol, six hundred men, furnished with arms for war,\n12 And going up they lodged in Cariathiarim of Juda: which place from that time is called the camp of Dan, and is behind Cariathiarim.\n13 From thence they passed into mount Ephraim. And when they were come to the house of Michas,\n14 The five men, that before had been sent to view the land of Lais, said to the rest of their brethren: You know that in these houses there is an ephod, and theraphim, and a graven, and a molten god: see what you are pleased to do.\n15 And when they had turned a little aside, they went into the house of the young man the Levite, who was in the house of Michas: and they saluted him with words of peace.\n16 And the six hundred men stood before the door, appointed with their arms.\n17 But they that were gone into the house of the young man, went about to take away the graven god, and the ephod, and the theraphim, and the molten god, and the priest stood before the door, the six hundred valiant men waiting not far off.\n18 So they that were gone in took away the graven thing, the ephod, and the idols, and the molten god. And the priest said to them: What are you doing?\n19 And they said to him: Hold thy peace and put thy finger on thy mouth and come with us, that we may have thee for a father, and a priest. Whether is better for thee, to be a priest in the house of one man, or in a tribe and family in Israel?\n20 When he had heard this, he agreed to their words, and took the ephod, and the idols, and the graven god, and departed with them.\n21 And when they were going forward, and had put before them the children and the cattle and all that was valuable,\n22 And were now at a distance from the house of Michas, the men that dwelt in the houses of Michas gathering together followed them,\n23 And began to shout out after them. They looked back, and said to Michas: What aileth thee? Why dost thou cry?\n24 And he answered: You have taken away my gods which I have made me and the priest, and all that I have, and do you say: What aileth thee?\n25 And the children of Dan said to him: See thou say no more to us, lest men enraged come upon thee, and thou perish with all thy house.\n26 And so they went on the journey they had begun. But Michas seeing that they were stronger than he, returned to his house.\n27 And the six hundred men took the priest, and the things we spoke of before, and came to Lais to a people that was quiet and secure, and smote them with the edge of the sword: and the city was burnt with fire,\n28 There being no man at all who brought them any succour, because they dwelt far from Sidon, and had no society or business with any man. And the city was in the land of Rohob: and they rebuilt it and dwelt therein.\n29 Calling the name of the city Dan after the name of their father, who was the son of Israel, which before was called Lais.\n30 And they set up to themselves the graven idol, and Jonathan the son of Gersam the son of Moses, he and his sons were priests in the tribe of Dan, until the day of their captivity.\n31 And the idol of Michas remained with them all the time that the house of God was in Silo.
