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 on the next day,\n28 When the people were come to Joakim her husband, the two elders also came full of wicked device against Susanna, to put her to death.\n29 And they said before the people: Send to Susanna daughter of Helcias the wife of Joakim. And presently they sent.\n30 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?\n**49 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

For fifteen thousand men were left of all the troops of the eastern people, and one hundred and twenty thousand warriors that drew the sword, were slain.\n11 And Gedeon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents, on the east of Nobe and Jegbaa, and smote the camp of the enemies, who were secure, and suspected no hurt.\n12 And Zebee and Salmana fled, and Gedeon pursued and took them, all their host being put in confusion.\n13 And returning from the battle before the sun rising,\n14 He took a boy of the men of Soccoth: and he asked him the names of the princes and ancients of Soccoth, and he described unto him seventy-seven men.\n15 And he came to Soccoth and said to them: Behold Zebee and Salmana, concerning whom you upbraided me, saying: Peradventure the hands of Zebee and Salmana, are in thy hands, and therefore thou demandest that we should give bread to the men that are weary and faint.\n16 So he took the ancients of the city and thorns and briers of the desert, and tore them with the same, and cut in pieces the men of Soccoth.\n17 And he demolished the tower of Phanuel, and slew the men of the city.\n18 And he said to Zebee and Salmana: What manner of men were they whom you slew in Thabor? They answered: They were like thee, and one of them as the son of a king.\n19 He answered them: They were my brethren, the sons of my mother. As the Lord liveth, if you had saved them, I would not kill you.\n20 And he said to Jether his eldest son: Arise, and slay them. But he drew not his sword: for he was afraid, being but yet a boy.\n21 And Zebee and Salmana said: Do thou rise, and run upon us: because the strength of a man is according to his age: Gedeon rose up and slew Zebee and Salmana: and he took the ornaments and bosses, with which the necks of the camels of kings are wont to be adorned.\n22 And all the men of Israel said to Gedeon: Rule thou over us and thy son, and thy son's son: because thou hast delivered us from the hand of Madian.\n23 And he said to them: I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you, but the Lord shall rule over you.\n24 And he said to them: I desire one request of you: Give me the earlets of your spoils. For the Ismaelites were accustomed to wear golden earlets.\n25 They answered: We will give them most willingly. And spreading a mantle on the ground, they cast upon it the earlets of the spoils.\n26 And the weight of the earlets that he requested, was a thousand seven hundred sicles of gold, besides the ornaments, and jewels, and purple raiment which the kings of Madian were went to use, and besides the golden chains that were about the camels' necks.\n27 And Gedeon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city Ephra. And all Israel committed fornication with it, and it became a ruin to Gedeon and to all his house.\n28 But Madian was humbled before the children of Israel, neither could they any more lift up their beads: but the land rested for forty years, while Gedeon presided.\n29 So Jerobaal the son of Joas went, and dwelt in his own house.\n30 And he had seventy sons, who came out of his thigh, for he had many wives.\n31 And his concubine, that he had in Sichem, bore him a son, whose name was Abimelech.\n32 And Gedeon the son of Joas died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father in Ephra of the family of Ezri.\n33 But after Gedeon was dead, the children of Israel turned again, and committed fornication with Baalim.

behold they are desolate this day, and there is not an inhabitant in them:\n3 Because of the wickedness which they have committed, to provoke me to wrath, and to go and offer sacrifice, and worship other gods, which neither they, nor you, nor your fathers knew.\n4 And I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising early, and sending, and saying: Do not commit this abominable thing, which I hate.\n**5 But they heard not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their evil ways, and not to sacrifice to strange gods.**\n6 Wherefore my indignation and my fury was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and they are turned to desolation and waste, as at this day.\n7 And now thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Why do you commit this great evil against your own souls, that there should die of you man and woman, child and suckling out of the midst of Juda, and no remnant should be left you:\n8 In that you provoke me to wrath with the works of your hands, by sacrificing to other gods in the land of Egypt, into which you are come to dwell there: and that you should perish, and be a curse, and a reproach to all the nations of the earth?\n9 Have you forgotten the evils of your fathers, and the evils of the kings of Juda, and the evils of their wives, and your evils, and the evils of your wives, that they have done in the land of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?\n10 They are not cleansed even to this day: neither have they feared, nor walked in the law of the Lord, nor in my commandments, which I set before you and your fathers.\n11 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will set my face upon you for evil: and I will destroy all Juda.\n12 And I will take the remnant of Juda that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt, and to dwell there: and they shall be all consumed in the land of Egypt: they shall fall by the sword, and by the famine: and they shall be consumed from the least even to the greatest, by the sword, and by the famine shall they die: and they shall be for an execration, and for a wonder, and for a curse, and for a reproach.\n13 And I will visit them

are gone to sojourn in the land of Egypt: and that shall return into the land of Juda, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: there shall none return but they that shall flee.\n15 Then all the men that knew that their wives sacrificed to other gods: and all the women of whom there stood by a great multitude, and all the people of them that dwelt in the land of Egypt in Phatures,

own mouth, to sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we and our fathers have done, our kings, and our princes in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and we were filled with bread, and it was well with us, and we saw no evil.\n18 But since we left off to offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, we

to pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?\n20 And Jeremias spoke to all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying:\n21 Was it not the sacrifice that you offered in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and Sour fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, which the Lord hath remembered, and hath it not entered into his heart?\n22 So that the Lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed: therefore your land is become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.\n23 Because you have sacrificed to idols, and have sinned against the Lord: and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, and have not walked in his law, and in his commandments, and in his testimonies: therefore are these evils come upon you, as at this day.\n24 And Jeremias said to all the people, and to all the women: Hear ye the word of the Lord, all Juda, you that dwell in the land of Egypt:\n25 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, saying: You and your wives have spoken with your mouth, and fulfilled with your hands, saying: Let us perform our vows which we have made, to offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her: you have fulfilled your vows, and have performed them indeed.\n26 Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, all Juda, you that dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold I have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord:

Juda that are in the land of Egypt, shall be consumed, by the sword, and by famine, till there be an end of them.\n28 And a few men that shall flee from the sword, shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Juda: and all the remnant of Juda that are gone into the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs.\n29 And this shall be a sign to you,

Gold for vessels of gold, and silver for vessels of silver, brass for things of brass, iron for things of iron, wood for things of wood: and onyx stones, and stones like alabaster, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble of Paros in great abundance.\n3 Now over and above the things which I have offered into the house of my God I give of my own proper goods, gold and silver for the temple of my God, beside what things I have prepared for the holy house.\n4 Three thousand talents of gold of the gold of Ophir: and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the temple.\n5 And gold for wheresoever there is need of gold: and silver for wheresoever there is need of silver, for the works to be made by the hands of the artificers: now if any man is willing to offer, let him fill his hand to day, and offer what he pleaseth to the Lord.\n6 Then the heads of the families, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and the overseers of the king's possessions promised,\n7 And they gave for the works of the house of the Lord, of gold, five thousand talents, and ten thousand solids: of silver ten thousand talents: and of brass eighteen thousand talents: and of iron a hundred thousand talents.\n8 And all they that had stones, gave them to the treasures of the house of the Lord, by the hand of Jahiel the Gersonite.\n9 And the people rejoiced, when they promised their offerings willingly: because they offered them to the Lord with all their heart: and David the king rejoiced also with a great joy.\n10 And he blessed the Lord before all the multitude, and he said: Blessed art thou, O Lord the God of Israel, our father from eternity to eternity.\n11 Thine, O Lord, is magnificence, and power, and glory, and victory: and to thee is praise: for all that is in heaven, and in earth, is thine: thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art above all princes.\n**12 Thine are riches, and thine is glory, thou hast dominion over all, in thy hand is power and might: in thy hand greatness, and the empire of all things.**\n13 Now therefore our God we give thanks to thee, and we praise thy glorious name.\n14 Who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to promise thee all these things? all things are thine: and we have given thee what we received of thy hand.\n15 For we are sojourners before thee, and strangers, as were all our fathers. Our days upon earth are as a shadow, and there is no stay.\n16 O Lord our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee a house for thy holy name, is from thy hand, and all things are thine.\n17 I know my God that thou provest hearts, and lovest simplicity, wherefore I also in the simplicity of my heart, have joyfully offered all these things: and I have seen with great joy thy people, which are here present, offer thee their offerings.\n18 O Lord God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Israel our fathers, keep for ever this will of their heart, and let this mind remain always for the worship of thee.\n19 And give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, that he may keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy ceremonies, and do all things: and build the house, for which I have provided the charges.\n20 And David commanded all the assembly: Bless ye the Lord our God. And all the assembly blessed the Lord the God of their fathers: and they bowed themselves and worshipped God, and then the king.\n21 And they sacrificed victims to the Lord: and they offered holocausts the next day, a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, with their libations, and with every thing prescribed most abundantly for all Israel.\n22 And they ate, and drank before the Lord that day with great joy. And they anointed the second time Solomon the son of David.

but the bearers thereof desired it might not be bestowed on the sacrifices, because it was not necessary, but might be deputed for other charges.**\n20 So the money was appointed by him that sent it to the sacrifice of Hercules: but because of them that carried it was employed for the making of galleys.\n21 Now when Apollonius the son of Mnestheus was sent into Egypt to treat with the nobles of king Philometor, and Antiochus understood that he was wholly excluded from the affairs of the kingdom, consulting his own interest, he departed thence and came to Joppe, and from thence to Jerusalem:\n22 Where he was received in a, magnificent manner by Jason, and the city, and came in with torch lights, and with praises, and from thence he returned with his army into Phenicia.\n23 Three years afterwards Jason sent Menelaus, brother of the aforesaid Simon, to carry money to the king, and to bring answers from him concerning certain necessary affairs.\n24 But he being recommended to the king, when he had magnified the appearance of his power, got the high priesthood for himself, by offering more than Jason by three hundred talents of silver.\n25 So having received the king's mandate, he returned bringing nothing worthy of the high priesthood: but having the mind of a cruel tyrant, and the rage of a savage beast.\n26 Then Jason, who had undermined his own brother, being himself undermined, was driven out a fugitive into the country of the Ammonites.\n27 So Menelaus got the principality: but as for the money he had promised to the king he took no care, when Sostratus the governor of the castle called for it.\n28 For to him appertained the gathering of the taxes: wherefore they were both called before the king.\n29 And Menelaus was removed from the priesthood, Lysimachus his brother succeeding: and Sostratus was made governor of the Cyprians.\n30 When these things were in doing, it fell out that they of Tharsus and Mallos raised a sedition, because they were given for a gift to Antiochis, the king's concubine.\n31 The king therefore went in all haste to appease them, leaving Andronicus, one of his nobles, for his deputy.\n32 Then Menelaus supposing that he had found a convenient time, having stolen certain vessels of gold out of the temple, gave them to Andronicus, and others he had sold at Tyre, and in the neighbouring cities.\n33 Which when Onias understood most certainly, he reproved him, keeping himself in a safe place at Antioch beside Daphne.\n34 Whereupon Menelaus coming to Andronicus, desired him to kill Onias. And he went to Onias, and gave him his right hand with an oath, and (though he were suspected by him) persuaded him to come forth out of the sanctuary, and immediately slew him, without any regard to justice.\n35 For which cause not only the Jews, but also the other nations, conceived indignation, and were much grieved for the unjust murder of so great a man.\n36 And when the king was come back from the places of Cilicia, the Jews that were at Antioch, and also the Greeks went to him: complaining of the unjust murder of Onias.\n37 Antiochus therefore was grieved in his mind for Onias, and being moved to pity, shed tears, remembering the sobriety and modesty of the deceased.\n38 And being inflamed to anger, he commanded Andronicus to be stripped of his purple, and to be led about through all the city: and that in the same place wherein he had committed the impiety against Onias, the sacrilegious wretch should be put to death, the Lord repaying him his deserved punishment.\n39 Now when many sacrileges had been committed by Lysimachus in the temple by the counsel of Menelaus, and the rumour of it was spread abroad, the multitude gathered themselves together against Lysimachus, a great quantity of gold being already carried away.\n40 Wherefore the multitude making an insurrection, and their minds being filled with anger, Lysimachus armed about three thousand men, and began to use violence, one Tyrannus being captain, a man far gone both in age, and in madness.\n41 But when they perceived the attempt of Lysimachus, some caught up stones, some strong clubs: and some threw ashes upon Lysimachus,\n42 And many of them were wounded, and some struck down to the ground, but all were put to flight: and as for the sacrilegious fellow himself, they slew him beside the treasury.\n43 Now concerning these matters, an accusation was laid against Menelaus.\n44 And when the king was come to Tyre, three men were sent from the ancients to plead the cause before him.\n45 But Menelaus being convicted, promised Ptolemee to give him much money to persuade the king to favour him.\n46 So Ptolemee went to the king in a certain court where he was, as it were to cool himself, and brought him to be of another mind:\n47 So Menelaus who was guilty of all the evil, was acquitted by him of the accusations: and those poor men, who, if they had pleaded their cause even before Scythians, should have been judged innocent, were condemned to death.\n48 Thus they that prosecuted the cause for the city, and for the people, and the sacred vessels, did soon suffer unjust punishment.\n49 Wherefore even the Tyrians being moved with indignation, were liberal towards their burial.\n50 And so through the covetousness of them that were in power, Menelaus continued in authority, increasing in malice to the betraying of the citizens.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Read me Acts 10:32", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Here's the passage from Acts 10:32 in

to Zorobabel, and the chief of the fathers, and said to them: Let us build with you, for we seek your God as ye do: behold we have sacrificed to him, since the days of Asor Haddan king of Assyria, who

And you would not hear my voice.\n11 And an angel of the Lord came, and sat under an oak, that was in Ephra, and belonged to Joas the father of the family of Ezri. And when Gedeon his son was threshing and cleansing wheat by the winepress, to flee from Madian,\n12 The angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said: The Lord is with thee, O most valiant of men.\n13 And Gedeon said to him: I beseech thee, my lord, if the Lord be with us, why have these evils fallen upon us? 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? Behold my family is the meanest in Manasses, and I am the least in my father's house.\n16 And the Lord said to him: I will be with thee: and thou shalt cut off Madian as one man.\n17 And he said: If I have found grace before thee, give me a sign that it is thou that speakest to me,\n18 And depart not hence, till I return to thee, and bring a sacrifice, and offer it to thee. And he answered: I will wait thy coming.\n19 So Gedeon went in, and boiled a kid, and made unleavened loaves of a measure of flour: and putting the flesh in a basket, and the broth of the flesh into a pot, he carried all under the oak, and presented to him.\n20 And the angel of the Lord said to him: Take the flesh and the unleavened loaves, and lay them upon that rock, and pour out the broth thereon. And when he had done so,\n21 The angel of the Lord put forth the tip of the rod, which he held in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and there arose a fire from the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and the angel of the Lord vanished out of his sight.\n22 And Gedeon seeing that it was the angel of the Lord, said: Alas, my Lord God: for I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.\n23 And the Lord said to him: Peace be with thee: fear not, thou shalt not die.\n24 And Gedeon built there an altar to the Lord, and called it the Lord's peace, until this present day.

But fearing his father's house, and the men of that city, he would not do it by day, but did all by night.\n**28 And when the men of that town were risen in the morning, they saw the altar of Baal destroyed, and the grove cut down, and the second bullock laid upon the altar, which then was built.**\n29 And they said one to another: Who hath done this?

And rising before day wringing the fleece, he filled a vessel with the dew.\n39 And he said again to God: let not thy wrath be kindled against me if I try once more, seeking a sign in the fleece.

If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?\n18 But now God hath set the members every one of them in the body as it hath pleased him.\n19 And if they all were one member, where would be the body?\n20 But now there are many members indeed, yet one body.\n21 And the eye cannot say to the hand: I need not thy help; nor again the head to the feet: I have no need of you.\n22 Yea, much more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body, are more necessary.\n23 And such as we think to be the less honourable members of the body, about these we put more abundant honour; and those that are our uncomely parts, have more abundant comeliness.\n24 But our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, giving to that which wanted the more abundant honour,\n25 That there might be no schism in the body; but the members might be mutually careful one for another.\n26 And if one member suffer any thing, all the members suffer with it; or if one member glory, all the members rejoice with it.\n27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members of member.\n28 And God indeed hath set some in the church; first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors; after that miracles; then the graces of healing, helps, governments, kinds of tongues, interpretations of speeches.\n29 Are all apostles?

O Lord my God, let thy hand be turned, I beseech thee, upon me, and upon my father's house: and let not thy people be destroyed.\n18 And the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to tell David, to go up, and build an altar to the Lord God in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.\n19 And David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spoke to him in the name of the Lord.\n20 Now when Ornan looked up, and saw the angel, he and his four sons hid themselves: for at that time he was thrashing wheat in the floor.\n21 And as David was coming to Ornan, Ornan saw him, and went out of the thrashingfloor to meet him, and bowed down to him with his face to the ground.\n22 And David said to him: Give me this place of thy thrashingfloor, that I may build therein an altar to the Lord: but thou shalt take of me as much money as it is worth, that the plague may cease from the people.\n23 And Ornan said to David: Take it, and let my lord the king do all that pleaseth him: and moreover the oxen also I give for a holocaust, and the drays for wood, and the wheat for the sacrifice: I will give it all willingly.\n24 And king David said to him: It shall not be so, but I will give thee money as much as it is worth: for I must not take it from thee, and so offer to the Lord holocausts free cost.\n25 So David gave to Ornan for the place, six hundred sicles of gold of just weight.\n26 And he built there an altar to the Lord: and he offered holocausts, and peace offerings, and he called upon the Lord, and he heard him by sending fire from heaven upon the altar of the holocaust.\n27 And the Lord commanded the angel: and he put up his sword again into the sheath.\n28 And David seeing that the Lord had heard him in the thrashingfloor of Oman the Jebusite, forthwith offered victims there.\n29 But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the desert, and the altar of holocausts, was at that time in the high place of Gabaon.\n30 And David could not go to the altar there to pray to God: for he was seized with an exceeding great fear, seeing the sword of the angel of the Lord.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "From which book and what chapter does \"And Heli blessed Elcana and his wife: and he said to him: The Lord give thee seed of this woman, for the loan thou hast lent to the Lord.

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.\n15 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.\n**39 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 that I also have the spirit of God.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Find and read 1 Maccabees chapter 8, verse 17", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Here's the passage from 1 Maccabees 8:17 in the Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"So Judas chose Eupolemus the son of John, the son of Jacob, and Jason the son of Eleazar, and he sent them to Rome to make a league of amity and confederacy with them.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where in the bible does it say \"And there were a great number of lamps in the upper chamber where we were assembled.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The text \"And there were a great number of lamps in the upper chamber where we were assembled.\" is part of Acts chapter 20, verse 8 in the New Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you provide the book, chapter, and verse for \"Duke Core, duke Gatham, duke Amalech: these are the sons of Eliphaz, in the land of Edom, and these the sons of Ada.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The quote \"Duke Core, duke Gatham, duke Amalech: these are the sons of Eliphaz, in the land of Edom, and these the sons of Ada.\" is from Genesis 36:16 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Recite Genesis 37:1", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Quoting from Genesis 37:1, Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"And Jacob dwelt in the land of Chanaan wherein his father sojourned.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and chapter does \"Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men: neither shall he have mercy on their fatherless, and widows: for every one is a hypocrite and wicked, and every mouth hath spoken folly.

chapter *13*.\n\nHere's the chapter it's part of:\n*1 Maccabees Chapter 13*\n1 Now Simon heard that Tryphon was gathering together a very great army, to invade the land of Juda, and to destroy it.\n2 And seeing that the people was in dread, and in fear, he went up to Jerusalem, and assembled the people:\n3 And exhorted them, saying: You know what great battles I and my brethren, and the house of my father, have fought for the laws, and the sanctuary, and the distresses that we have seen:\n4 By reason whereof all my brethren have lost their lives for Israel's sake, and I am left alone.\n5 And now far be it from me to spare my life in any time of trouble: for I am not better than my brethren.\n6 I will avenge then my nation and the sanctuary, and our children, and wives: for all the heathens are gathered together to destroy us out of mere malice.\n7 And the spirit of the people was enkindled as soon as they heard these words.\n8 And they answered with a loud voice, saying: Thou art our leader in the place of Judas, and Jonathan thy brother.\n9 Fight thou our battles, and we will do whatsoever thou shalt say to us.\n10 So gathering together all the men of war, he made haste to finish all the walls of Jerusalem, and he fortified it round about.\n11 And he sent Jonathan the son of Absalom, and with him a new army into Joppe, and he cast out them that were in it, and himself remained there.\n12 And Tryphon removed from Ptolemais with a great army, to invade the land of Juda, and Jonathan was with him in custody.\n13 But Simon pitched in Addus, over against the plain.\n14 And when Tryphon understood that Simon was risen up in the place of his brother Jonathan, and that he meant to join battle with him, he sent messengers to him,\n15 Saying: We have detained thy brother Jonathan for the money that he owed in the king's account, by reason of the affairs which he had the management of.\n16 But now send a hundred talents of silver, and his two sons for hostages, that when he is set at liberty he may not revolt from us, and we will release him.\n17 Now Simon knew that he spoke deceitfully to him, nevertheless he ordered the money, and the children to be sent: lest he should bring upon himself a great hatred of the people of Israel, who might have said:\n18 Because he sent not the money, and the children, therefore is he lost.\n19 So he sent the children, and the hundred talents: and he lied, and did not let Jonathan go.\n20 And after this Tryphon entered within the country, to destroy it: and they went about by the way that leadeth to Ador: and Simon and his army marched to every place whithersoever they went.\n21 And they that were in the castle, sent messengers to Tryphon, that he should make haste to come through the desert, and send them victuals.\n22 And Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night: but there fell a very great snow, and he came not into the country of Galaad.\n23 And when he approached to Bascama, he slew Jonathan and his sons there.\n24 And Tryphon returned, and went into his own country.\n25 And Simon sent, and took the bones of Jonathan his brother, and buried them in Modin, in the city of his fathers.\n26 And all Israel bewailed him with great lamentation: and they mourned for him many days.\n27 And Simon built over the sepulchre of his father and of his brethren, a building lofty to the sight, of polished stone behind and before:\n28 And he set up seven pyramids one against another for his father and his mother, and his four brethren:\n29 And round about these he set great pillars: and upon the pillars arms for a perpetual memory: and by the arms ships carved, which might be seen by all that sailed on the sea.\n30 This is the sepulchre that he made in Modin even unto this day.\n31 But Tryphon when he was upon a journey with the young king Antiochus, treacherously slew him.\n32 And he reigned in his place, and put on the crown of Asia: and brought great evils upon the land.\n33 And Simon built up the strong holds of Judea, fortifying them with high towers, and great walls, and gates, and bars: and he stored up victuals in the fortresses.\n34 And Simon chose men and sent to king Demetrius, to the end that he should grant an immunity to the land: for all that Tryphon did was to spoil.\n35 And king Demetrius in answer to this request, wrote a letter in this manner:\n36 King Demetrius to Simon the high priest, and friend of kings, and to the ancients, and to the nation of the Jews, greeting.\n37 The golden crown, and the palm, which you sent, we have received: and we are ready to make a firm peace with you, and to write to the king's chief officers to release you the things that we have released.\n38 For all that we have decreed in your favour, shall stand in force. The strong holds that you have built, shall be your own.\n39 And as for any oversight or fault committed unto this day, we forgive it, and the crown which you owed: and if any other thing were taxed in Jerusalem, now let it not be taxed.\n40 And if any of you be fit to be enrolled among ours, let them be enrolled, and let there be peace between us.\n41 In the year one hundred and seventy the yoke of the Gentiles was taken off from Israel.\n42 And the people of Israel began to write in the instruments, and public records, The first year under Simon the high priest, the great captain and prince of the Jews.\n43 In those days Simon besieged Gaza, and camped round about it, and he made engines, and set them to the city, and he struck one tower, and took it.\n44 And they that were within the engine leaped into the city: and there was a great uproar in the city.\n45 And they that were in the city went up with their wives and children upon the wall, with their garments rent, and they cried with a loud voice, beseeching Simon to grant them peace.\n46 And they said: Deal not with us according to our evil deeds, but according to thy mercy.\n47 And Simon being moved, did not destroy them: but yet he cast them out of the city, and cleansed the houses wherein there had been idols, and then he entered into it with hymns, blessing the Lord.\n48 And having cast out of it all uncleanness, he placed in it men that should observe the law: and he fortified it, and made it his habitation.\n49 But they that were in the castle of Jerusalem were hindered from going out and coming into the country, and from buying and selling: and they were straitened with hunger, and many of them perished through famine.\n**50 And they cried to Simon for peace, and he granted it to them: and he cast them out from thence, and cleansed the castle from uncleannesses.**\n51 And they entered into it the three and twentieth day of the second month, in the year one hundred and seventy-one, with thanksgiving, and branches of palm trees, and harps, and cymbals, and psalteries, and hymns, and canticles, because the great enemy was destroyed out of Israel.\n52 And he ordained that these days should be kept every year with gladness.\n53 And he fortified the mountain of the temple that was near the castle, and he dwelt there himself, and they that were with him.\n54 And Simon saw that John his son was a valiant man for war: and he made him captain of all the forces: and he dwelt in Gazara.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which chapter and book contains \"Now the rest of the acts of Josias and of his mercies, according to what was commanded by the law of the Lord:\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you're referencing is from the book *2 Chronicles*, chapter *35*.\n\nHere's the full chapter:\n*2 Chronicles Chapter 35*\n1 And Josias kept a phase to the Lord in Jerusalem, and it was sacrificed on the fourteenth day of the first month.\n2 And he set the priests in their offices, and exhorted them to minister in the house of the Lord.\n3 And he spoke to the Levites, by whose instruction all Israel was sanctified to the Lord, saying: Put the ark in the sanctuary of the temple, which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built: for you shall carry it no more: but minister now to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel.\n4 And prepare yourselves by your houses, and families according to your courses, as David king of Israel commanded, and Solomon his son hath written.\n5 And serve ye in the sanctuary by the families and companies of Levi.\n6 And being sanctified kill the phase, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the words which the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.\n7 And Josias gave to all the people that were found there in the solemnity of the phase, of lambs and of kids of the flocks, and of other small cattle thirty thousand, and of oxen three thousand, all these were of the king's substance.\n8 And his princes willingly offered what they had vowed, both to the people and to the priests and the Levites.

But he looking upon the king,\n**16 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": "Can you tell me the book and

thinking to take the city, and make it a habitation of the Gentiles:\n3 And to make a gain of the temple, as of the other temples of the Gentiles, and to set the high priesthood to sale every year:\n4 Never considering the power of God, but puffed up in mind, and trusting in the multitude of his foot soldiers, and the thousands of his horsemen, and his fourscore elephants.\n5 So he came into Judea, and approaching to Bethsura, which was in a narrow place, the space of five furlongs from Jerusalem, he laid siege to that fortress.\n6 But when Machabeus and they that were with him, understood that the strong holds were besieged, they and all the people besought the Lord with lamentations and tears, that he would send a good angel to save Israel.\n7 Then Machabeus himself, first taking his arms, exhorted the rest to expose themselves together with him, to the danger, and to succour their brethren.\n8 And when they were going forth together with a willing mind, there appeared at Jerusalem a horseman going before them in white clothing, with golden armour, shaking a spear.\n9 Then they all together blessed the merciful Lord, and took great courage, being ready to break through not only men, but also the fiercest beasts, and walls of iron.\n10 So they went on courageously, having a helper from Heaven, and the who shewed mercy to them.\n11 And rushing violently upon the enemy, like lions, they slew of them eleven thousand footmen, and one thousand six hundred horsemen:\n12 And put all the rest to flight: many of them being wounded, escaped naked: yea and Lysias himself fled away shamefully, and escaped.\n13 And as he was a man of understanding considering with himself, the loss he had suffered, and perceiving that the Hebrews could not be overcome, because they relied upon the help of the Almighty God, he sent to them:\n14 And promised that he would agree to all things that are just, and that he would persuade the king to be their friend.\n**15 Then Machabeus consented

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

The Lord be judge and decide this day between Israel and the children of Ammon.\n28 And the king of the children of Ammon would not hearken to the words of Jephte, which he sent him by the messengers.\n29 Therefore the spirit of the Lord came upon Jephte, and going round Galaad, and Manasses, and Maspha of Galaad, and passing over from thence to the children of Ammon,\n30 He made a vow to the Lord, saying: If thou wilt deliver the children of Ammon into my hands,\n31 Whosoever shall first come forth out of the doors of my house, and shall meet me when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, the same will I offer a holocaust to the Lord.\n32 And Jephte passed over to the children of Ammon, to fight against them: and the Lord delivered them into his hands.\n33 And he smote them from Aroer till you come to Mennith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel, which is set with vineyards, with a very great slaughter: and the children of Ammon were humbled by the children of Israel.\n34 And when Jephte returned into Maspha to his house, his only daughter met him with timbrels and with dances: for he had no other children.\n35 And when he saw her, he rent his garments, and said: Alas! my daughter, thou hast deceived me, and thou thyself art deceived: for I have opened my mouth to the Lord, and I can do no other thing.\n36 And she answered him: My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth to the Lord, do unto me whatsoever thou hast promised, since the victory hath been granted to thee, and revenge of thy enemies.\n37 And she said to her father: Grant me only this which I desire: Let me go, that I may go about the mountains for two months, and may bewail my virginity with my companions.\n38 And he answered her: Go.

And when the Lord heard it he was angry. And the fire of the Lord being kindled against them, devoured them that were at the uttermost part of the camp.\n2 And when the people cried to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was swallowed up.\n3 And he called the name of that place, The burning: for that the fire of the Lord had been kindled against them.\n4 For a mixt multitude of people, that came up with them, burned with desire, sitting and weeping, the children of Israel also being joined with them, and said: Who shall give us flesh to eat?\n5 We remember the Ash that we ate in Egypt free cost: the cucumbers come into our mind, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic.\n6 Our soul is dry, our eyes behold nothing else but manna.\n7 A Now the manna was like coriander seed, of the colour of bdellium.\n8 And the people went about, and gathering it, ground it in a mill, or beat it in a mortar, and boiled it in a pot, and made cakes thereof of the taste of bread tempered with oil.\n9 And when the dew fell in the night upon the camp, the manna also fell with it.\n**10 Now Moses heard the people weeping by their families, every one at the door of his tent. And the wrath of the Lord was exceedingly enkindled: to Moses also the thing seemed insupportable.**\n11 And he said to the Lord: Why hast thou afflicted thy servant? wherefore do I not find favour before thee? and why hast thou laid the weight of all this people upon me?\n12 Have I conceived all this multitude, or begotten them, that thou shouldst say to me: Carry them in thy bosom as the nurse is wont to carry the little infant, and bear them into the land, for which thou hast sworn to their fathers?\n13 Whence should I have flesh to give to so great a multitude? they weep against me, saying: Give us flesh that we may eat.\n14 I am not able alone to bear all this people, because it is too heavy for me.\n15 But if it seem unto thee otherwise, I beseech thee to kill me, and let me find grace in thy eyes, that I be not afflicted with so great evils.\n16 And the Lord said to Moses: Gather unto me seventy men of the ancients of Israel, whom thou knowest to be ancients and masters of the people: and thou shalt bring them to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and shalt make them stand there with thee,\n17 That I may come down and speak with thee: and I will take of thy spirit, and will give to them, that they may bear with thee the burden of the people, and thou mayest not be burthened alone.\n18 And thou shalt say to the people: Be ye sanctified: to morrow you shall eat flesh: for I have heard you say: Who will give us flesh to eat? it was well with us in Egypt. That the Lord may give you flesh, and you may eat:\n19 Not for one day, nor two, nor five, nor ten, no nor for twenty.\n20 But even for a month of days, till it come out at your nostrils, and become loathsome to you, because you have cast off the Lord, who is in the midst of you, and have wept before him, saying: Why came we out of Egypt?\n21 And Moses said: There are six hundred thousand footmen of this people, and sayest thou: I will give them flesh to eat a whole month?\n22 Shall then a multitude of sheep and oxen be killed, that it may suffice for their food? or shall the fishes of the sea be gathered together to fill them?\n23 And the Lord answered him: Is the hand of the Lord unable? Thou shalt presently see whether my word shall come to pass or no.\n24 Moses therefore came, and told the people the words of the Lord, and assembled seventy men of the ancients of Israel, and made them to stand about the tabernacle.\n25 And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, taking away of the spirit that was in Moses, and giving to the seventy men. And when the spirit had rested on them they prophesied, nor did they cease afterwards.\n26 Now there remained in the camp two of the men, of whom one was called Eldad, and the other Medad, upon whom the spirit rested; for they also had been enrolled, but were not gone forth to the tabernacle.\n27 And when they prophesied in the camp, there ran a young man, and told Moses, saying: Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.\n28 Forthwith Josue the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and chosen out of many, said: My lord Moses forbid them.\n29 But he said: Why hast thou emulation for me? O that all the people might prophesy, and that the Lord would give them his spirit!\n30 And Moses returned, with the ancients of Israel, into the camp.\n31 And a wind going out from the Lord, taking quails up beyond the sea brought them, and cast them into the camp for the space of one day's journey, on every side of the camp round about, and they flew in the air two cubits high above the ground.\n32 The people therefore rising up all that day, and night, and the next day, gathered together of quails, he that did least, ten cores: and they dried them round about the camp.\n33 As yet the flesh was between their teeth, neither had that kind of meat failed: when behold the wrath of the Lord being provoked against the people, struck them with an exceeding great plague.\n34 And that place was called, The graves of lust: for there they buried the people that had lusted.

And they had John also in the ministry.\n6 And when they had gone through the whole island, as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesu:\n7 Who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He sending for Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God.\n8 But Elymas the magician (for so his name is interpreted) withstood them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.\n9 Then Saul, otherwise Paul, filled with the Holy Ghost, looking upon him,\n10 Said: O full of all guile, and of all deceit, child of the devil, enemy of all justice, thou ceasest not to pervert the right ways of the Lord.\n11 And now behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. And immediately there fell a mist and darkness upon him, and going about, he sought some one to lead him by the hand.\n12 Then the proconsul, when he had seen what was done, believed, admiring at the doctrine of the Lord.\n13 Now when Paul and they that were with him had sailed from Paphos, they came to Perge in Pamphylia. And John departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.\n14 But they passing through Perge, came to Antioch in Pisidia: and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day, they sat down.\n15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Ye men, brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to make to the people, speak.\n16 Then Paul rising up, and with his hand bespeaking silence, said: Ye men of Israel, and you that fear God, give ear.\n17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they were sojourners in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought them out from thence,\n18 And for the space of forty years endured their manners in the desert.\n19 And destroying seven nations in the land of Chanaan, divided their land among them, by lot,\n20 As it were, after four hundred and fifty years: and after these things, he gave unto them judges, until Samuel the prophet.\n21 And after that they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years.\n22 And when he had removed him, he raised them up David to be king: to whom giving testimony, he said: I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my wills.\n23 Of this man's seed God according to his promise, hath raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:\n24 John first preaching, before his coming, the baptism of penance to all the people of Israel.\n25 And when John was fulfilling his course, he said: I am not he, whom you think me to be: but behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.\n26 Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fear God, to you the word of this salvation is sent.\n27 For they that inhabited Jerusalem, and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets, which are read every sabbath, judging him have fulfilled them.\n28 And finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate, that they might kill him.\n29 And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre.\n30 But God raised him up from the dead the third day:\n31 Who was seen for many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who to this present are his witnesses to the people.\n32 And we declare unto you, that the promise which was made to our fathers,\n33 This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second psalm also is written: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.\n34 And to shew that he raised him up from the dead, not to return now any more to corruption, he said thus: I will give you the holy things of David faithful.\n35 And therefore, in another place also, he saith: Thou shalt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption.\n36 For David, when he had served in his generation, according to the will of God, slept: and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption.\n37 But he whom God hath raised from the dead, saw no corruption.\n38 Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that through him forgiveness of sins is preached to you: and from all the things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.\n39 In him every one that believeth, is justified.\n40 Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets:\n41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if any man shall tell it you.\n42 And as they went out, they desired them, that on the next sabbath, they would speak unto them these words.\n43 And when the synagogue was broken up, many of the Jews, and of the strangers who served God, followed Paul and Barnabas: who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.\n44 But the next sabbath day, the whole city almost came together, to hear the word of God.\n45 And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with envy, and contradicted those things which were said by Paul, blaspheming.\n**46 Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly: To you it behoved us first to speak the word of God: but because you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold we turn to the Gentiles.**\n47 For so the Lord hath commanded us: I have set thee to be the light of the Gentiles;

Tell me therefore the dream, that I may know that you also give a true interpretation thereof.\n10 Then the Chaldeans answered before the king, and said: There is no man upon earth, that can accomplish thy word, O king, neither doth any king, though great and mighty, ask such a thing of any diviner, or wise man, or Chaldean.\n11 For the thing that thou askest, O king, is difficult; nor can any one be found that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose conversation is not with men.\n12 Upon hearing this, the king in fury, and in great wrath, commanded that all the wise men of Babylon should be put to death.\n13 And the decree being gone forth, the wise men were slain: and Daniel and his companions were sought for, to be put to death.\n14 Then Daniel inquired concerning the law and the sentence, of Arioch the general of the king's army, who was gone forth to kill the wise men of Babylon.\n15 And he asked him that had received the orders of the king, why so cruel a sentence was gone forth from the face of the king. And when Arioch had told the matter to Daniel,\n16 Daniel went in and desired of the king, that he would give him time to resolve the question and declare it to the king.\n17 And he went into his house, and told the matter to Ananias, and Misael, and Azarias his companions:\n18 To the end that they should ask mercy at the face of the God of heaven concerning this secret, and that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.\n19 Then was the mystery revealed to Daniel by a vision in the night: and Daniel blessed the God of heaven,\n20 And speaking he said: Blessed be the name of the Lord from eternity and for evermore: for wisdom and fortitude are his.\n21 And he changeth times and ages: taketh away kingdoms and establisheth them, giveth wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them that have understanding.\n22 He revealeth deep and hidden things, and knoweth what is in darkness: and light is with him.\n23 To thee, O God of our fathers, I give thanks, and I praise thee: because thou hast given me wisdom and strength: and now thou hast shewn me what we desired of thee, for thou hast made known to us, the king's discourse.\n24 After this Daniel went in to Arioch, to whom the king had given orders to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and he spoke thus to him: Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will tell the solution to the king.\n25 Then Arioch in haste brought in Daniel to the king, and said to him: I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Juda, that will resolve the question to the king.\n26 The king answered, and said to Daniel, whose name was Baltassar: Thinkest thou indeed that thou canst tell me the dream that I saw, and the interpretation thereof?\n27 And Daniel made answer before the king, and said: The secret that the king desireth to know, none of the wise men, or the philosophers, or the diviners, or the soothsayers can declare to the king.\n**28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth mysteries, who hath shewn to thee, O king Nabuchodonosor, what is to come to pass in the latter times.

As iron breaketh into pieces, and subdueth all things, so shall that break and destroy all these.\n41 And whereas thou sawest the feet, and the toes, part of potter's clay, and part of iron: the kingdom shall be divided, but yet it shall take its origin from the iron, according as thou sawest the iron mixed with the miry clay.\n42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.\n43 And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall be mingled indeed together with the seed of man, but they shall not stick fast one to another, as iron cannot be mixed with clay.\n44 But in the days of those kingdoms the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, and his kingdom shall not be delivered up to another people, and it shall break in pieces, and shall consume all these kingdoms, and itself shall stand for ever.\n45 According as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and broke in pieces, the clay, and the iron, and the brass, and the silver, and the gold, the great God hath shewn the king what shall come to pass hereafter, and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof is faithful.\n46 Then king Nabuchodonosor fell on his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer in sacrifice to him victims and incense.\n47 And the king spoke to Daniel, and said: Verily your God is the God of gods, and Lord of kings, and a revealer of hidden things: seeing thou couldst discover this secret.\n48 Then the king advanced Daniel to a high station, and gave him many and great gifts: and he made him governor over all the provinces of Babylon, and chief of the magistrates over all the wise men of Babylon.\n49 And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago over the works of the province of Babylon: but Daniel himself was in the king's palace.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book, chapter, and verse is \"Son of man, eat thy bread in trouble: and drink thy water in hurry and sorrow.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The text \"Son of man, eat thy bread in trouble: and drink thy water in hurry and sorrow.\" is part of Ezekiel chapter 12, verse 18 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and chapter does \"For you have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion: how that, beyond measure, I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it.\" belong to?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "That verse comes from *Galatians*, chapter *1*.\n\nCheck out the whole chapter:\n*Galatians Chapter 1*\n1 Paul, an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead,\n2 And all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia.\n3 Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,\n4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present wicked world, according to the will of God and our Father:\n5 To whom is glory for ever and ever.

And the fire of the Lord being kindled against them, devoured them that were at the uttermost part of the camp.\n2 And when the people cried to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was swallowed up.\n3 And he called the name of that place, The burning: for that the fire of the Lord had been kindled against them.\n4 For a mixt multitude of people, that came up with them, burned with desire, sitting and weeping, the children of Israel also being joined with them, and said: Who shall give us flesh to eat?\n5 We remember the Ash that we ate in Egypt free cost: the cucumbers come into our mind, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic.\n6 Our soul is dry, our eyes behold nothing else but manna.\n7 A Now the manna was like coriander seed, of the colour of bdellium.\n8 And the people went about, and gathering it, ground it in a mill, or beat it in a mortar, and boiled it in a pot, and made cakes thereof of the taste of bread tempered with oil.\n9 And when the dew fell in the night upon the camp, the manna also fell with it.\n10 Now Moses heard the people weeping by their families, every one at the door of his tent. And the wrath of the Lord was exceedingly enkindled: to Moses also the thing seemed insupportable.\n11 And he said to the Lord: Why hast thou afflicted thy servant? wherefore do I not find favour before thee? and why hast thou laid the weight of all this people upon me?\n12 Have I conceived all this multitude, or begotten them, that thou shouldst say to me: Carry them in thy bosom as the nurse is wont to carry the little infant, and bear them into the land, for which thou hast sworn to their fathers?\n13 Whence should I have flesh to give to so great a multitude? they weep against me, saying: Give us flesh that we may eat.\n**14 I am not able alone to bear all this people, because it is too heavy for me.**\n15 But if it seem unto thee otherwise, I beseech thee to kill me, and let me find grace in thy eyes, that I be not afflicted with so great evils.\n16 And the Lord said to Moses: Gather unto me seventy men of the ancients of Israel, whom thou knowest to be ancients and masters of the people: and thou shalt bring them to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and shalt make them stand there with thee,\n17 That I may come down and speak with thee: and I will take of thy spirit, and will give to them, that they may bear with thee the burden of the people, and thou mayest not be burthened alone.\n18 And thou shalt say to the people: Be ye sanctified: to morrow you shall eat flesh: for I have heard you say: Who will give us flesh to eat? it was well with us in Egypt. That the Lord may give you flesh, and you may eat:\n19 Not for one day, nor two, nor five, nor ten, no nor for twenty.\n20 But even for a month of days, till it come out at your nostrils, and become loathsome to you, because you have cast off the Lord, who is in the midst of you, and have wept before him, saying: Why came we out of Egypt?\n21 And Moses said: There are six hundred thousand footmen of this people, and sayest thou: I will give them flesh to eat a whole month?\n22 Shall then a multitude of sheep and oxen be killed, that it may suffice for their food? or shall the fishes of the sea be gathered together to fill them?\n23 And the Lord answered him: Is the hand of the Lord unable? Thou shalt presently see whether my word shall come to pass or no.\n24 Moses therefore came, and told the people the words of the Lord, and assembled seventy men of the ancients of Israel, and made them to stand about the tabernacle.\n25 And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, taking away of the spirit that was in Moses, and giving to the seventy men. And when the spirit had rested on them they prophesied, nor did they cease afterwards.\n26 Now there remained in the camp two of the men, of whom one was called Eldad, and the other Medad, upon whom the spirit rested; for they also had been enrolled, but were not gone forth to the tabernacle.\n27 And when they prophesied in the camp, there ran a young man, and told Moses, saying: Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.\n28 Forthwith Josue the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and chosen out of many, said: My lord Moses forbid them.\n29 But he said: Why hast thou emulation for me? O that all the people might prophesy, and that the Lord would give them his spirit!\n30 And Moses returned, with the ancients of Israel, into the camp.\n31 And a wind going out from the Lord, taking quails up beyond the sea brought them, and cast them into the camp for the space of one day's journey, on every side of the camp round about, and they flew in the air two cubits high above the ground.\n32 The people therefore rising up all that day, and night, and the next day, gathered together of quails, he that did least, ten cores: and they dried them round about the camp.\n33 As yet the flesh was between their teeth, neither had that kind of meat failed: when behold the wrath of the Lord being provoked against the people, struck them with an exceeding great plague.\n34 And that place was called, The graves of lust: for there they buried the people that had lusted.

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. All wisdom is from the Lord God, and hath been always with him, and is before all time.\n2 Who hath numbered the sand of the sea, and the drops of rain, and the days of the world? Who hath measured the height of heaven, and the breadth of the earth, and the depth of the abyss?\n3 Who hath searched out the wisdom of God that goeth before all things?\n4 Wisdom hath been created before all things, and the understanding of prudence from everlasting.\n5 The word of God on high is the fountain of wisdom, and her ways are everlasting commandments.\n6 To whom hath the root of wisdom been revealed, and who hath known her wise counsels?\n7 To whom hath the discipline of wisdom been revealed and made manifest? and who hath understood the multiplicity of her steps?\n8 There is one most high Creator Almighty, and a powerful king, and greatly to be feared, who sitteth upon his throne, and is the God of dominion.\n9 He created her in the Holy Ghost, and saw her, and numbered her, and measured her.\n10 And he poured her out upon all his works, and upon all flesh according to his gift, and hath given her to them that love him.\n11 The fear of the Lord is honour, and glory, and gladness, and a crown of joy.\n12 The fear of the Lord shall delight the heart, and shall give joy, and gladness, and length of days.\n13 With him that feareth the Lord, it shall go well in the latter end, and in the day of his death he shall be blessed.\n14 The love of God is honourable wisdom.\n15 And they to whom she shall shew herself love her by the sight, and by the knowledge of her great works.\n16 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and was created with the faithful in the womb, it walketh with chosen women, and is known with the just and faithful.\n17 The fear of the Lord is the religiousness of knowledge.\n18 Religiousness shall keep and justify the heart, it shall give joy and gladness.\n19 It shall go well with him that feareth the Lord, and in the days of

treasures of wisdom is understanding, and religiousness of knowledge: but to sinners wisdom is an abomination.\n27 The fear of the Lord driveth out sin:\n28 For he that is without fear, cannot be justified: for the wrath of his high spirits is his ruin.\n29 A patient man shall bear for a time, and afterwards joy shall be restored to him.\n30 A good understanding will hide his words for a time,

They answered the king, and said: True, O king.\n92 He answered, and said: Behold I see four men loose, and walking in the midst of the fire, and there is no hurt in them, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.\n93 Then Nabuchodonosor came to the door of the burning fiery furnace, and said: Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, ye servants of the most high God, go ye forth, and come.

together to destroy us out of mere malice.\n7 And the spirit of the people was enkindled as soon as they heard these words.\n8 And they answered with a loud voice, saying: Thou art our leader in the place of Judas, and Jonathan thy brother.\n9 Fight thou our battles, and we will do whatsoever thou shalt say to us.\n10 So gathering together all the men of war, he made haste to finish all the walls of Jerusalem, and he fortified it round about.\n11 And he sent Jonathan the son of Absalom, and with him a new army into Joppe, and he cast out them that were in it, and himself remained there.\n12 And Tryphon removed from Ptolemais with a great army, to invade the land of Juda, and Jonathan was with him in custody.\n13 But Simon pitched in Addus, over against the plain.\n14 And when Tryphon understood that Simon was risen up in the place of his brother Jonathan, and that he meant to join battle with him, he sent messengers to him,\n15 Saying: We have detained thy brother Jonathan for the money that he owed in the king's account, by reason of the affairs which he had the management of.\n16 But now send a hundred talents of silver, and his two sons for hostages, that when he is set at

marched to every place whithersoever they went.\n21 And they that were in the castle, sent messengers to Tryphon, that he should make haste to come through the desert, and send them victuals.\n22 And

And the king said: He also is a good messenger.\n27 And the watchman said: The running of the foremost seemeth to me like the running of Achimaas the son of Sadoc. And the king said: He is a good man: and cometh with good news.\n28 And Achimaas crying out, said to the king: God save thee, O king. And falling down before the king with his face to the ground, he said: Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath shut up the men that have lifted up their hands against the lord my king.\n29 And the king said: Is the young man Absalom safe? And Achimaas said: I saw a great tumult, O king, when thy servant Joab sent me thy servant: I know nothing else.\n30 And the king said to him: Pass, and stand here.\n31 And when he bad passed, and stood still, Chusai appeared: and coming up he said: I bring good tidings, my lord, the king, for the Lord hath judged for thee this day from the hand of all that have risen up against thee.\n32 And the king said to Chusai: Is the young man Absalom safe? And Chusai answering him, said: Let the enemies of my lord, the king, and all that rise against him unto evil, be as the young man is.\n33 The king therefore being much moved, went up to the high chamber over the gate, and wept. And as he went he spoke in this manner: My son Absalom, Absalom my son: would to God that I might die for thee, Absalom my son, my son Absalom.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you tell me the book and chapter for \"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.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "It's from the book of *Daniel*, chapter *4*.\n\nHere's the chapter in full:\n*Daniel Chapter 4*\n1 I, Nabuchodonosor, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace:\n2 I saw a dream that affrighted me: and my thoughts in my bed, and the visions of my head troubled me.\n3 Then I set forth a decree, that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought in before me, and that they should shew me the interpretation of the dream.\n4 Then came in the diviners, the wise men, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and I told the dream before them: but they did not shew me the interpretation thereof:\n5 Till their colleague Daniel came in before me, whose name is Baltassar, according to the name of my god, who hath in him the spirit of the holy gods: and I told the dream before him.\n6 Baltassar, prince of the diviners, because I know that thou hast in thee the spirit of the holy gods, and that no secret is impossible to thee: tell me the visions of my dreams that I have seen, and the interpretation of them.\n7 This was the vision of my head in my bed: I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was exceeding great.\n8 The tree was great, and strong: and the height thereof reached unto heaven: the sight thereof was even to the ends of all the earth.\n9 Its leaves were most beautiful, and its fruit exceeding much: and in it was food for all: under it dwelt cattle, and beasts, and in the branches thereof the fowls of the air had their abode: and all flesh did eat of it.\n10 I saw in the vision of my head upon my bed, and behold a watcher, and a holy one came down from heaven.\n11 He cried aloud, and said thus: Cut down the tree, and chop off the branches thereof: shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruits: let the beasts fly away that are under it, and the birds from its branches.\n12 Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and let it be tied with a band of iron, and of brass, among the grass, that is without, and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let its portion be with the wild beasts in the grass of the earth.\n13 Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given him; and let seven times pass over him.\n14 This is the decree by the sentence of the watchers, and the word and demand of the holy ones; till the living know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men; and he will give it to whomsoever it shall please him, and he will appoint the basest man over it.\n15 I king Nabuchodonosor saw this dream: thou, therefore, O Baltassar, tell me quickly the interpretation: for all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to declare the meaning of it to me: but thou art able, because the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.\n16 Then Daniel, whose name was Baltassar, began silently to think within himself for about one hour: and his thoughts troubled him. 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.\n22 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.\n**34 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": "What's the scriptural address for \"Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of the lions.

Now Joram had besieged Ramoth Galaad, he and all Israel fighting with Hazael king of Syria:\n15 And was returned to be healed in Jezrahel of his wounds, for the Syrians had wounded him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.

And they made ready his chariot, and Joram king of Israel, and Ochozias king of Juda went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him in the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite.\n22 And when Joram saw Jehu, he said: Is there peace, Jehu? And he answered: What peace? so long as the fornications of Jezabel thy mother, and her many sorceries are in their vigour.\n23 And Joram turned his hand, and fleeing, said to Ochozias: There is treachery, Ochozias.\n24 But Jehu bent Iris bow with his hand, and shot Joram between the shoulders: and the arrow went out through his heart, and immediately he fell in his chariot.\n25 And Jehu said to Badacer his captain: Take him, and cast him into the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite: for I remember when I and thou sitting in a chariot followed Achab this man's father, that the Lord laid this burden upon him, saying:\n26 If I do not requite thee in this field, saith the Lord, for the blood of Naboth, and for the blood of his children, which I saw yesterday, saith the Lord.

For they all knew that his father was a Gentile.\n4 And as they passed through the cities, they delivered unto them the decrees for to keep, that were decreed by the apostles and ancients who were at Jerusalem.\n5 And the churches were confirmed in faith, and increased in number daily.\n6 And when they had passed through Phrygia, and the country of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia.\n7 And when they were come into Mysia, they attempted to go into Bythynia, and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not.\n8 And when they had passed through Mysia, they went down to Troas.\n9 And a vision was shewed to Paul in the night, which was a man of Macedonia standing and beseeching him, and saying: Pass over into Macedonia, and help us.\n10 And as soon as he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, being assured that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.\n11 And sailing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the day following to Neapolis;\n**12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were in this city some days conferring together.**\n13 And upon the sabbath day, we went forth without the gate by a river side, where it seemed that there was prayer; and sitting down, we spoke to the women that were assembled.\n14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, did hear: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to those things which were said by Paul.\n15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying: If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.\n16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain girl, having a pythonical spirit, met us, who brought to her masters much gain by divining.\n17 This same following Paul and us, cried out, saying: These men are the servants of the most high God, who preach unto you the way of salvation.\n18 And this she did many days. But Paul being grieved, turned, and said to the spirit: I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out from her. And he went out the same hour.\n19 But her masters, seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, apprehending Paul and Silas, brought them into the marketplace to the rulers.\n20 And presenting them to the magistrates, they said: These men disturb our city, being Jews;\n21 And preach a fashion which it is not lawful for us to receive nor observe, being Romans.\n22 And the people ran together against them; and the magistrates rending off their clothes, commanded them to be beaten with rods.\n23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the gaoler to keep them diligently.\n24 Who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.\n25 And at midnight, Paul and Silas praying, praised God. And they that were in prison, heard them.\n26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken.

Not so; but let them come,\n38 And let us out themselves. And the serjeants told these words to the magistrates. And they were afraid, hearing that they were Romans.\n39 And coming, they besought them; and bringing them out, they desired them to depart out of the city.\n40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where does it say \"Thou shalt take an awl, and bore through his ear in the door of thy house, and he shall serve thee for ever: thou shalt do in like manner to thy womanservant also.\", in the bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"Thou shalt take an awl, and bore through his ear in the door of thy house, and he shall serve thee for ever: thou shalt do in like manner to thy womanservant also.\" appears in Deuteronomy, chapter 15, at verse 17 of the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the chapter and book tied to \"She called to her the men of her house, and said to them: See, he hath brought in a Hebrew, to abuse us: he came in to me, to lie with me: and when I cried out,\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "It's from the book of *Genesis*, chapter *39*.\n\nHere's the chapter in full:\n*Genesis Chapter 39*\n1 And Joseph was brought into Egypt, and Putiphar an eunuch of Pharao, chief captain of the army, an Egyptian, bought him of the Ismaelites, by whom he was brought.\n2 And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master's house,\n3 Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand.\n4 And Joseph found favour in the sight of his master, and ministered to him: and being set over all by him, he governed the house committed to him, and all things that were delivered to him:\n5 And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake, and multiplied all his substance, both at home, and in the fields.\n6 Neither knew he any other thing, but the bread which he ate.

brethren helped him, and all they that had joined themselves to his father, and they fought with cheerfulness the battle of Israel.\n3 And he got his people great honour, and put on a breastplate as a giant, and girt his warlike armour about him in battles, and protected the camp with his sword.\n4 In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roaring for his prey.\n5 And he pursued the wicked and sought them out, and them that troubled his people he burnt with fire:\n6 And his enemies were driven away for fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled: and salvation prospered in his hand.\n7 And he grieved many kings, and made Jacob glad with his works, and his memory is blessed for ever.\n8 And he went through the cities of Juda, and destroyed the wicked out of them, and turned away wrath from Israel.\n9 And he was renowned even to the utmost part of the earth, and he gathered them that were perishing.\n10 And Apollonius gathered together the Gentiles, and a numerous and great army from Samaria, to make war against Israel.\n11 And Judas understood it, and went forth to meet him: and he overthrew him, and killed him: and many fell down slain, the rest fled away.\n**12 And he took their spoils, and Judas took the sword of Apollonius, and fought with it all his lifetime.**\n13 And Seron captain of the army of Syria heard that Judas had assembled a company of the faithful, and a congregation with him,\n14 And he said: I will get me a name, and will be glorified in the kingdom, and will overthrow Judas, and those that are with him, that have despised the edict of the king.\n15 And he made himself ready: and the host of the wicked went up with him, strong succours, to be revenged of the children of Israel.\n16 And they approached even as far as Bethoron: and Judas went forth to meet him, with a small company.\n17 But when they saw the army coming to meet them, they said to Judas: How shall we, being few, be able to fight against so great a multitude and so strong, and we are ready to faint with fasting to day?\n18 And Judas said: It is an easy matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few: and there is no difference in the sight of the God of heaven to deliver with a great multitude, or with a small company:\n19 For the success of war is not in the multitude of the army, but strength cometh from heaven.\n20 They come against us with an insolent multitude, and with pride, to destroy us, and our wives, and our children, and to take our spoils.\n21 But we will fight for our lives and our laws:\n22 And the Lord himself will overthrow them before our face: but as for you, fear them not.\n23 And as soon as he had made an end of speaking, he rushed suddenly upon them: and Seron and his host were overthrown before him:\n24 And he pursued him by the descent of Bethoron even to the plain, and there fell of them eight hundred men, and the rest fled into the land of the Philistines.\n25 And the fear of Judas and of his brethren, and the dread of them fell upon all the nations round about them.\n26 And his fame came to the king, and all nations told of the battles of Judas.\n27 Now when king Antiochus heard these words, he was angry in his mind: and he sent and gathered the forces of all his kingdom, an exceeding strong army.\n28 And he opened his treasury, and gave out pay to the army for a year: and he commanded them, that they should be ready for all things.\n29 And he perceived that the money of his treasures failed, and that the tributes of the country were small because of the dissension, and the evil that he had brought upon the land, that he might take away the laws of old times:\n30 And he feared that he should not have as formerly enough, for charges and gifts, which he had given before with a liberal hand: for he had abounded more than the kings that had been before him.\n31 And he was greatly perplexed in mind, and purposed to go into Persia, and to take tributes of the countries, and to gather much money.\n32 And he left Lysias, a nobleman of the blood royal, to oversee the affairs of the kingdom, from the river Euphrates even to the river of Egypt:\n33 And to bring up his son Antiochus, till he came again.\n34 And he delivered to him half the army, and the elephants: and he gave him charge concerning all that he would have done, and concerning the inhabitants of Judea, and Jerusalem:\n35 And that he should send an army against them, to destroy and root out the strength of Israel, and the remnant of Jerusalem, and to take away the memory of them from that place:\n36 And that he should settle strangers to dwell in all their coasts, and divide their land by lot.\n37 So the king took the half of the army that remained, and went forth from Antioch the chief city of his kingdom, in the hundred and forty-seventh year: and he passed over the river Euphrates, and went through the higher countries.\n38 Then Lysias chose Ptolemee the son of Dorymenus, and Nicanor, and Gorgias, mighty men of the king's friends.\n39 And he sent with them forty thousand men, and seven thousand horsemen: to go into the land of Juda, and to destroy it according to the king's orders.\n40 So they went forth with all their power, and came, and pitched near Emmaus in the plain country.\n41 And the merchants of the countries heard the fame of them: and they took silver and gold in abundance, and servants: and they came into the camp, to buy the children of Israel for slaves: and there were joined to them the forces of Syria, and of the land of the strangers.\n42 And Judas and his brethren saw that evils were multiplied, and that the armies approached to their borders: and they knew the orders the king had given to destroy the people and utterly abolish them.\n43 And they said every man to his neighbour: Let us raise up the low condition of our people, and let us fight for our people, and our sanctuary.\n44 And the assembly was gathered that they might be ready for battle: and that they might pray, and ask mercy and compassion.\n45 Now Jerusalem was not inhabited, but was like a desert: there was none of her children that went in or out: and the sanctuary was trodden down: and the children of strangers were in the castle, there was the habitation of the Gentiles: and joy was taken away from Jacob, and the pipe and harp ceased there.\n46 And they assembled together, and came to Maspha over against Jerusalem: for in Maspha was a place of prayer heretofore in Israel.\n47 And they fasted that day, and put on haircloth, and put ashes upon their heads: and they rent their garments:\n48 And they laid open the books of the law, in which the Gentiles searched for the likeness of their idols:\n49 And they brought the priestly ornaments, and the firstfruits and tithes, and stirred up the Nazarites that had fulfilled their days:\n50 And they cried with a loud voice toward heaven, saying: What shall we do with these, and whither shall we carry them?\n51 For thy holies are trodden down, and are profaned, and thy priests are in mourning, and are brought low.\n52 And behold the nations are come together against us to destroy us: thou knowest what they intend against us.\n53 How shall we be able to stand before their face, unless thou, O God, help us?\n54 Then they sounded with trumpets, and cried out with a loud voice.\n55 And after this Judas appointed captains over the people, over thousands, and over hundreds, and over fifties, and over tens.\n56 And he said to them that were building houses, or had betrothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or were fearful, that they should return every man to his house, according to the law.\n57 So they removed the camp, and pitched on the south side of Emmaus.\n58 And Judas said: Gird yourselves, and be valiant men, and be ready against the morning, that you may fight with these nations that are assembled against us to destroy us and our sanctuary.\n59 For it is better for us to die in battle, than to see the evils of our nation, and of the holies:\n60 Nevertheless as it shall be the will of God in heaven so be it done.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Show

But they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.\n16 And from thenceforth he sought opportunity to betray him.\n17 And on the first day of the Azymes, the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the pasch?\n18 But Jesus said: Go ye into the city to a certain man, and say to him: the master saith, My time is near at hand, with thee I make the pasch with my disciples.\n19 And the disciples did as Jesus appointed to them, and they prepared the pasch.\n20 But when it was evening, he sat down with his twelve disciples.\n21 And whilst they were eating, he said: Amen I say to you, that one of you is about to betray me.\n22 And they being very much troubled, began every one to say: Is it I, Lord?\n23 But he answering, said: He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, he shall betray me.\n24 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed: it were better for him, if that man had not been born.\n25 And Judas that betrayed him, answering, said: Is it I, Rabbi? He saith to him: Thou hast said it.\n26 And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke: and gave to his disciples, and said: Take ye, and eat. This is my body.\n27 And taking the chalice, he gave thanks, and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this.\n28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins.\n29 And I say to you, I will not drink from henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I shall drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father.\n30 And a hymn being said, they went out unto mount Olivet.\n31 Then Jesus said to them: All you shall be scandalized in me this night. For it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be dispersed.\n32 But after I shall be risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.\n33 And Peter answering, said to him: Although all shall be scandalized in thee, I will never be scandalized.\n34 Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, that in this night before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice.\n35 Peter saith to him: Yea, though I should die with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner said all the disciples.\n36 Then Jesus came with them into a country place which is called Gethsemani; and he said to his disciples: Sit you here, till I go yonder and pray.\n37 And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to grow sorrowful and to be sad.\n38 Then he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death: stay you here, and watch with me.\n39 And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying, and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.\n40 And he cometh to his disciples, and findeth them asleep, and he saith to Peter: What? Could you not watch one hour with me?\n41 Watch ye, and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak.\n42 Again the second time, he went and prayed, saying: My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done.\n43 And he cometh again and findeth them sleeping: for their eyes were heavy.\n44 And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time, saying the selfsame word.\n45 Then he cometh to his disciples, and saith to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest; behold the hour is at hand, and the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners.\n46 Rise, let us go: behold he is at hand that will betray me.\n47 As he yet spoke, behold Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the ancients of the people.\n48 And he that betrayed him, gave them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he, hold him fast.\n49 And forthwith coming to Jesus, he said: Hail, Rabbi. And he kissed him.\n50 And Jesus said to him: Friend, whereto art thou come? Then they came up, and laid hands on Jesus, and held him.\n51 And behold one of them that were with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, drew out his sword: and striking the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear.\n52 Then Jesus saith to him: Put up again thy sword into its place: for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword.\n53 Thinkest thou that I cannot ask my Father, and he will give me presently more than twelve legions of angels?\n54 How then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that so it must be done?\n55 In that same hour Jesus said to the multitudes: You are come out as it were to a robber with swords and clubs to apprehend me. I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you laid not hands on me.\n56 Now all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all leaving him, fled.\n57 But they holding Jesus led him to Caiphas the high priest, where the scribes and the ancients were assembled.\n58 And Peter followed him afar off, even to the court of the high priest. And going in, he sat with the servants, that he might see the end.\n59 And the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death:\n60 And they found not, whereas many false witnesses had come in. And last of all there came two false witnesses:\n61 And they said: This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and after three days to rebuild it.\n62 And the high priest rising up, said to him: Answerest thou nothing to the things which these witness against thee?\n63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said to him: I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou be the Christ the Son of God.\n64 Jesus saith to him: Thou hast said it. Nevertheless I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming in the clouds of heaven.\n65 Then the high priests rent his garments, saying: He hath blasphemed; what further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard the blasphemy:\n66 What think you? But they answering, said: He is guilty of death.\n**67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him: and others struck his face with the palms of their hands,**\n68 Saying: Prophesy unto us, O Christ, who is he that struck thee?\n69 But Peter sat without in the court: and there came to him a servant maid, saying: Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilean.\n70 But he denied before them all, saying: I know not what thou sayest.\n71 And as he went out of the gate, another maid saw him, and she saith to them that were there: This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.\n72 And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.\n73 And after a little while they came that stood by, and said to Peter: Surely thou also art one of them; for even thy speech doth discover thee.\n74 Then he began to curse and to swear that he knew not the man.

thanks, forasmuch as we have been in war with such a king.\n12 For he made numbers of men swarm out of Persia that have fought against us, and the holy city.\n13 For when the leader himself was in Persia, and with him a very great army, he fell in the temple of Nanea, being deceived by the counsel of the priests of Nanea.\n14 For Antiochus, with his friends, came to the place as though he would marry her, and that he might receive great sums of money under the title of a dowry.\n15 And when the priests of Nanea had set it forth, and he with a small company had entered into the compass of the temple, they shut the temple,\n16 When Antiochus was come in: and opening a secret entrance of the temple, they cast stones and slew the leader, and them that were with him, and hewed them in pieces, and cutting off their heads they threw them forth.\n17 Blessed be God in all things, who hath delivered up the wicked.\n18 Therefore whereas we purpose to keep the purification of the temple on the five and twentieth day of the month of Casleu, we thought it necessary to signify it to you: that you also may keep the day of Scenopegia, and the day of the fire, that was given when Nehemias offered sacrifice, after the temple and the altar was built.\n19 For when our fathers were led into Persia, the priests that then were worshippers of God took privately the fire from the altar, and hid it in a valley where there was a deep pit without water, and there they kept it safe, so that the place was unknown to all men.\n20 But when many years had passed, and it pleased God that Nehemias should be sent by the king of Persia, he sent some of the posterity of those priests that had hid it, to seek for the fire: and as they told us, they found no fire, but thick water.\n21 Then he bade them draw it up, and bring it to him: and the priest Nehemias commanded the sacrifices that were laid on, to be sprinkled with the same water, both the wood, and the things that were laid upon it.\n22 And when this was done, and the time came that the sun shone out, which before was in a cloud, there was a great fire kindled, so that all wondered.\n23 And all the priests made prayer, while the sacrifice was consuming, Jonathan beginning, and the rest answering.\n24 And the prayer of Nehemias was after this manner: O Lord God, Creator of all things, dreadful and strong, just and merciful, who alone art the good king,\n25 Who alone art gracious, who alone art just, and almighty, and eternal, who deliverest Israel from all evil, who didst choose the fathers and didst sanctify them:\n26 Receive the sacrifice for all thy people Israel, and preserve thy own portion, and sanctify it.\n27 Gather together our scattered people, deliver them that are slaves to the Gentiles, and look upon them that are despised and abhorred: that the Gentiles may know that thou art our God.\n28 Punish them that oppress us, and that treat us injuriously with pride.\n29 Establish thy people in thy holy place, as Moses hath spoken.\n30 And the priests sung hymns till the sacrifice was consumed.\n31 And when the sacrifice was consumed, Nehemias commanded the water that was left to be poured out upon the great stones.\n32 Which being done, there was kindled a flame from them: but it was consumed by the light that shined from the altar.\n33 And when this matter became public, it was told to the king of Persia, that in the place where the priests that were led away, had hid the fire, there appeared water, with which Nehemias and they that were with him had purified the sacrifices.\n34 And the king considering, and diligently examining the matter, made a temple for it, that he might prove what had happened.\n35 And when he had proved it, he gave the priests many goods, and divers presents, and he took and distributed them to them with his own hand.\n36 And Nehemias called this place Nephthar, which is interpreted purification.

And Moses began to expound the law, and to say:\n6 The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: You have stayed long enough in this mountain:\n7 Turn you, and come to the mountain of the Amorrhites, and to the other places that are next to it, the plains and the hills and the vales towards the south, and by the sea shore, the land of the Chanaanites, and of Libanus, as far as the great river Euphrates.\n8 Behold, said he, I have delivered it to you: go in and possess it, concerning which the Lord swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them, and to their seed after them.\n9 And I said to you at that time:\n10 I alone am not able to bear you: for the Lord your God hath multiplied you, and you are this day as the stars of heaven, for multitude.\n11 (The Lord God of your fathers add to this number many thousands, and bless you as he hath spoken.)\n12 I alone am not able to bear your business, and the charge of you and your differences.\n13 Let me have from among you wise and understanding men, and such whose conversation is approved among your tribes, that I may appoint them your rulers.\n14 Then you answered me: The thing is good which thou meanest to do.\n15 And I took out of your tribes men wise and honourable, and appointed them rulers, tribunes, and centurions, and officers over fifties, and over tens, who might teach you all things.\n16 And I commanded them, saying: Hear them, and judge that which is just: whether he be one of your country, or a stranger.\n17 There shall be no difference of persons, you shall hear the little as well as the great: neither shall you respect any man's person, because it is the judgment of God.

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,\n**6 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.\n41 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.

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

This was the vision running to and fro in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, and lightning going forth from the fire.\n14 And the living creatures ran and returned like flashes of lightning.\n15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared upon the earth by the living creatures one wheel with four faces.\n16 And the appearance of the wheels, and the work of them was like the appearance of the sea: and the four had all one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the midst of a wheel.\n17 When they went, they went by their four parts: and they turned not when they went.\n18 The wheels had also a size, and a height, and a dreadful appearance: and the whole body was full of eyes round about all the four.\n19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels also went together by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels also were lifted up with them.\n20 Whithersoever the spirit went, thither as the spirit went the wheels also were lifted up withal, and followed it: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.\n21 When those went these went, and when those stood these stood, and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels also were lifted up together, and followed them: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.\n22 And over the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of the firmament, as the appearance of crystal terrible to behold, and stretched out over their heads above.\n23 And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other, every one with two wings covered his body, and the other was covered in like manner.\n24 And I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, as it were the voice of the most high God: when they walked, it was like the voice of a multitude, like the noise of an army, and when they stood, their wings were let down.\n25 For when a voice came from above the firmament, that was over their heads, they stood, and let down their wings.\n26 And above the firmament that was over their heads, was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of the sapphire stone, and upon the likeness of the throne, was a likeness as of the appearance of a man above upon it.\n27 And I saw as it were the resemblance of amber as the appearance of fire within it round about: from his loins and upward, and from his loins downward, I saw as it were the resemblance of fire shining round about.\n28 As the appearance of the rainbow when it is in a cloud on a rainy day: this was the appearance of the brightness round about.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the reference (book, chapter, verse) for \"And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: Where art thou?\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The quote \"And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: Where art thou?\" is from Genesis 3:9 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and what chapter and verse include \"Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all valiant.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "You can find \"Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all valiant.\" in the Old Testament, specifically in Jeremiah 5:16.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What is written in Job 7:14?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Here's the passage from Job 7:14 in the Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"Thou wilt frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book, chapter, and verse is \"But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them the things that Jesus had done.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them the things that Jesus had done.\" appears in John, chapter 11, at verse 46 of the New Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Find and read John chapter 17, verse 20", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**New Testament**\n*John 17:20 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"And not for them only do I pray, but for them also who through their word shall believe in me;\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book is the verse \"And all the multitude of the country of the Gerasens besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear.

And as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.\n6 And other some fell upon a rock: and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.\n7 And other some fell among thorns, and the thorns growing up with it, choked it.\n8 And other some fell upon good ground; and being sprung up, yielded fruit a hundredfold. Saying these things, he cried out: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.\n9 And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.\n10 To whom he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see, and hearing may not understand.\n11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.\n12 And they by the way side are they that hear; then the devil cometh, and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved.\n13 Now they upon the rock, are they who when they hear, receive the word with joy: and these have no roots; for they believe for a while, and in time of temptation, they fall away.\n14 And that which fell among thorns, are they who have heard, and going their way, are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and yield no fruit.\n15 But that on the good ground, are they who in a good and perfect heart, hearing the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit in patience.\n16 Now no man lighting a candle covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it upon a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.\n17 For there is not any thing secret that shall not be made manifest, nor hidden, that shall not be known and come abroad.\n18 Take heed therefore how you hear.

And they launched forth.\n23 And when they were sailing, he slept; and there came down a storm of wind upon the lake, and they were filled, and were in danger.\n24 And they came and awaked him, saying: Master, we perish. But he arising, rebuked the wind and the rage of the water; and it ceased, and there was a calm.\n25 And he said to them: Where is your faith? Who being afraid, wondered, saying one to another: Who is this, (think you), that he commandeth both the winds and the sea, and they obey him?\n26 And they sailed to the country of the Gerasens, which is over against Galilee.\n27 And when he was come forth to the land, there met him a certain man who had a devil now a very long time, and he wore no clothes, neither did he abide in a house, but in the sepulchres.\n28 And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him; and crying out with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.\n29 For he commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For many times it seized him, and he was bound with chains, and kept in fetters; and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the deserts.\n30 And Jesus asked him, saying: What is thy name? But he said: Legion; because many devils were entered into him.\n31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.\n32 And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain; and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.\n33 The devils therefore went out of the man, and entered into the swine; and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were stifled.\n34 Which when they that fed them saw done, they fled away, and told it in the city and in the villages.\n35 And they went out to see what was done; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at his feet, clothed, and in his right mind; and they were afraid.\n36 And they also that had seen, told them how he had been healed from the legion.\n**37 And all the multitude of the country of the Gerasens besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear.

And it happened as he went, that he was thronged by the multitudes.\n43 And there was a certain woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had bestowed all her substance on physicians, and could not be healed by any.\n44 She came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment; and immediately the issue of her blood stopped.\n45 And Jesus said: Who is it that touched me? And all denying, Peter and they that were with him said: Master, the multitudes throng and press thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?\n46 And Jesus said: Somebody hath touched me; for I know that virtue is gone out from me.\n47 And the woman seeing that she was not hid, came trembling, and fell down before his feet, and declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was immediately healed.\n48 But he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go thy way in peace.\n49 As he was yet speaking, there cometh one to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him: Thy daughter is dead, trouble him not.\n50 And Jesus hearing this word, answered the father of the maid: Fear not; believe only, and she shall be safe.\n51 And when he was come to the house, he suffered not any man to go in with him, but Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the maiden.\n52 And all wept and mourned for her. 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.

and they caused great joy to all the brethren.\n4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and ancients, declaring how great things God had done with them.\n5 But there arose some of the sect of the Pharisees that believed, saying: They must be circumcised, and be commanded to observe the law of Moses.\n6 And the apostles and ancients assembled to consider of this matter.\n7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter, rising up, said to them: Men, brethren, you know, that in former days God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.\n8 And God, who knoweth the hearts, gave testimony, giving unto them the Holy Ghost, as well as to us;\n9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.\n10 Now therefore, why tempt you God to put a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?\n11 But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, in like manner as they also.\n12 And all the multitude held their peace;

And when Gedeon his son was threshing and cleansing wheat by the winepress, to flee from Madian,\n12 The angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said: The Lord is with thee, O most valiant of men.\n13 And Gedeon said to him: I beseech thee, my lord, if the Lord be with us, why have these evils fallen upon us? 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? Behold my family is the meanest in Manasses, and I am the least in my father's house.\n16 And the Lord said to him: I will be with thee: and thou shalt cut off Madian as one man.\n17 And he said: If I have found grace before thee, give me a sign that it is thou that speakest to me,\n18 And depart not hence, till I return to thee, and bring a sacrifice, and offer it to thee. And he answered: I will wait thy coming.\n19 So Gedeon went in, and boiled a kid, and made unleavened loaves of a measure of flour: and putting the flesh in a basket, and the broth of the flesh into a pot, he carried all under the oak, and presented to him.\n20 And the angel of the Lord said to him: Take the flesh and the unleavened loaves, and lay them upon that rock, and pour out the broth thereon. And when he had done so,\n21 The angel of the Lord put forth the tip of the rod, which he held in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and there arose a fire from the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and the angel of the Lord vanished out of his sight.\n22 And Gedeon seeing that it was the angel of the Lord, said: Alas, my Lord God: for I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.\n23 And the Lord said to him: Peace be with thee: fear not, thou shalt not die.\n24 And Gedeon built there an altar to the Lord, and called it the Lord's peace, until this present day. And when he was yet in Ephra, which is of the family of Ezri,\n25 That night the Lord said to him: Take a bullock of thy father's, and another bullock of seven years, and thou shalt destroy the altar of Baal, which is thy father's: and cut down the grove that is about the altar:\n26 And thou shalt build an altar to the Lord thy God in the top of this rock, whereupon thou didst lay the sacrifice before: and thou shalt take the second bullock, and shalt offer a holocaust upon a pile of the wood, which thou shalt cut down out of the grove.\n27 Then Gedeon taking ten men of his servants, did as the Lord had commanded him. But fearing his father's house, and the men of that city, he would not do it by day, but did all by night.\n28 And when the men of that town were risen in the morning, they saw the altar of Baal destroyed, and the grove cut down, and the second bullock laid upon the altar, which then was built.\n29 And they said one to another: Who hath done this? And when they inquired for the author of the fact, it was said: Gedeon the son of Joas did all this.\n30 And they said to Joas: Bring out thy son hither, that he may die: because he hath destroyed the altar of Baal, and hath cut down his grove.\n31 He answered them: Are you the avengers of Baal, that you fight for him? he that is his adversary, let him die before to morrow light appear: if he be a god, let him revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar.\n32 From that day Gedeon was called Jerobaal, because Joss had said: Let Baal revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar.\n33 Now all Madian, and Amalec, and the eastern people were gathered together, and passing over the Jordan, camped in the valley of Jezrael.\n34 But the spirit of the Lord came upon Gedeon, and be sounded the trumpet and called together the house of Abiezer, to follow him.\n35 And he sent messengers into all Manasses, and they also followed him: and other messengers into Aser and Zabulon and Nephtali, and they came to meet him.\n36 And Gedeon said to God: If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said,\n37 I will put this fleece of wool on the floor: if there be dew on the fleece only, and it be dry on all the ground beside, I, shall know that by my hand, as thou hast said, thou wilt deliver Israel.\n38 And it was so. And rising before day wringing the fleece, he filled a vessel with the dew.\n39 And he said again to God: let not thy wrath be kindled against me if I try once more, seeking a sign in the fleece.

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.\n**8 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.**\n9 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

not the things that are Jesus Christ's.\n22 Now know ye the proof of him, that as a son with the father, so hath he served with me in the gospel.\n23 Him therefore I hope to send unto you immediately, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.\n24 And I trust in the Lord, that I myself also shall come to you shortly.\n**25 But I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow labourer, and fellow soldier, but your apostle, and he that hath ministered to my wants.**\n26 For indeed he longed after you all: and was sad, for that you had heard that he was sick.\n27 For indeed he was sick, nigh unto death;

O Lord, my portion, I have said, I would keep the law.\n58 I entreated thy face with all my heart: have mercy on me according to thy word.\n59 I have thought on my ways: and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.\n60 I am ready, and am not troubled: that I may keep thy commandments.\n61 The cords of the wicked have encompassed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.\n62 I rose at midnight to give praise to thee; for the judgments of thy justification.\n63 I am a partaker with all them that fear thee, and that keep thy commandments.\n64 The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy justifications.\n65 TETH.

Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths.\n106 I have sworn and am determined to keep the judgments of thy justice.\n107 I have been humbled, O Lord, exceedingly: quicken thou me according to thy word.\n108 The free offerings of my mouth make acceptable, O Lord: and teach me thy judgments.\n109 My soul is continually in my hands: and I have not forgotten thy law.\n110 Sinners have laid a snare for me: but I have not erred from thy precepts.\n111 I have purchased thy testimonies for an inheritance for ever: because they are a joy to my heart.\n112 I have inclined my heart to do thy justifications for ever, for the reward.\n113 SAMECH.

Here it is:\n*1 Corinthians Chapter 15*\n1 Now I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand;\n2 By which also you are saved, if you hold fast after what manner I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain.\n3 For I delivered unto you first of all, which I also received: how that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures:\n4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures:\n5 And that he was seen by Cephas; and after that by the eleven.\n6 Then he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once: of whom many remain until this present, and some are fallen asleep.\n7 After that, he was seen by James, then by all the apostles.\n8 And last of all, he was seen also by me, as by one born out of due time.\n9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.\n10 But by the grace of God, I am what I am; and his grace in me hath not been void, but I have laboured more abundantly than all they: yet not I, but the grace of God with me.\n11 For whether I, or they, so we preach, and so you have believed.\n12 Now if Christ be preached, that he arose again from the dead, how do some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead?\n13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen again.\n14 And if Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.\n15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God: because we have given testimony against God, that he hath raised up Christ; whom he hath not raised up, if the dead rise not again.\n16 For if the dead rise not again, neither is Christ risen again.\n17 And if Christ be not risen again, your faith is vain, for you are yet in your sins.\n18 Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ, are perished.\n19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.\n20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, the firstfruits of them that sleep:\n21 For by a man came death, and by a man the resurrection of the dead.\n22 And as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive.\n23 But every one in his own order: the firstfruits Christ, then they that are of Christ, who have believed in his coming.\n24 Afterwards the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God and the Father, when he shall have brought to nought all principality, and power, and virtue.\n25 For he must reign, until he hath put all his enemies under his feet.\n26 And the enemy death shall be destroyed last: For he hath put all things under his feet. 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?\n**30 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.\n52 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? O death, where is thy sting?\n56 Now the sting of death is sin: and the power of sin is the law.\n57 But thanks be to God, who hath given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.\n58 Therefore,

families of the children of Israel were assembled to king Solomon in Jerusalem: that they might carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, that is, out of Sion.\n2 And all Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon on the festival day in the month of Ethanim, the same is the seventh month.\n3 And all the ancients of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark,\n4 And carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, that were in the tabernacle: and the priests and the Levites carried them.\n5 And king Solomon, and all the multitude of Israel, that were assembled unto him went with him before the ark, and they sacrificed sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered.\n6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, into the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims.\n7 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and covered the art, and the staves thereof above.\n8 And whereas the staves stood out, the ends of them were seen without in the sanctuary before the oracle, but were not seen farther out, and there they have been unto this day.\n9 Now in the ark there was nothing else but the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.\n**10 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, that a cloud filled the house of the Lord,**\n11 And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.\n12 Then Solomon said: The Lord said that he would dwell in a cloud.\n13 Building I have built a house for thy dwelling, to be thy most firm throne for ever.\n14 And the king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: for all the assembly of Israel stood.\n15 And Solomon said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and with his own hands hath accomplished it, saying:\n16 Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built, that my name might be there: but I chose David to be over my people Israel.\n17 And David my father would have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel:\n18 And the Lord said to David my father: Whereas thou hast thought in thy heart to build a house to my name, thou hast done well in having this same thing in thy mind.\n19 Nevertheless thou shalt not build me a house, but thy son, that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name.\n20 The Lord hath performed his word which he spoke: and I stand in the room of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel.\n21 And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when they came out of the land of Egypt.\n22 And Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the sight of the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards heaven;\n23 And said: Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven above, or on earth beneath: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that have walked before thee with all their heart.\n24 Who hast kept with thy servant David my father what thou hast promised him: with thy mouth thou didst speak, and with thy hands thou hast performed, as this day proveth.\n25 Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father what thou hast spoken to him, saying: There shall not be taken away of thee a man in my sight, to sit on the throne of Israel: yet so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked in my sight.\n26 And now, Lord God of Israel, let thy words be established, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David my father.\n27 Is it then to be thought that God should indeed dwell upon earth? for if heaven, and the heavens of heavens cannot contain thee, how much less this house which I have built?\n28 But have regard to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, O Lord my God: hear the hymn and the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee this day:\n29 That thy eyes may be open upon this house night and day: upon the house of which thou hast said: My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth in this place to thee.\n30 That thou mayest hearken to the supplication of thy servant and of thy people Israel, whatsoever they shall pray for in this place, and hear them in the place of thy dwelling in heaven; and when thou hearest, shew them mercy.\n31 If any man trespass against his neighbour, and have an oath upon him, wherewith he is bound: and come because of the oath before thy altar to thy house,\n32 Then hear thou in heaven: and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, and bringing his way upon his own head, and justifying the just, and rewarding him according to his justice.\n33 If thy people Israel shall fly before their enemies, (because they will sin against thee,) and doing penance, and confessing to thy name, shall come, and pray, and make supplications to thee in this house:\n34 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them back to the land which thou gavest to their fathers.\n35 If heaven shall be shut up, and there shall be no rain, because of their sins, and they praying in this place, shall do penance to thy name, and shall be converted from their sins, by occasion of their afflictions:\n36 Then hear thou them in heaven, and forgive the sins of thy servants, and of thy people Israel: and shew them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people in possession.\n37 If a famine arise in the land, or a pestilence, or corrupt air, or blasting, or locust, or mildew, if their enemy afflict them besieging the gates, whatsoever plague, whatsoever infirmity,\n38 Whatsoever curse or imprecation shall happen to any man of thy people Israel: when a man shall know the wound of his own heart, and shall spread forth his hands in this house,\n39 Then hear thou in heaven, in the place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and do so as to give to every one according to his ways, as thou shalt see his heart (for thou only knowest the heart of all the children of men)\n40 That they may fear thee all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which thou hast given to our fathers.\n41 Moreover also the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name's sake, (for they shall hear everywhere of thy great name and thy mighty hand,\n42 And thy stretched out arm,) so when he shall come, and shall pray in this place,\n43 Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy dwelling place, and do all those things, for which that stranger shall call upon thee: that all the people of the earth may learn to fear thy name, as do thy people Israel, and may prove that thy name is called upon on this house, which I have built.\n44 If thy people go out to war against their enemies, by what way soever thou shalt send them, they shall pray to thee towards the way of the city, which thou hast chosen, and towards the house, which I have built to thy name:\n45 And then hear thou in heaven their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them.\n46 But if they sin against thee (for there is no man who sinneth not) and thou being angry deliver them up to their enemies, so that they be led away captives into the land of their enemies far or near;\n47 Then if they do penance in their heart in the place of captivity, and being converted make supplication to thee in their captivity, saying: We have sinned, we have done unjustly, we have committed wickedness:\n48 And return to thee with all their heart, and all their soul, in the land of their enemies, to which they had been led captives: and pray to thee towards the way of their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, and of the city which thou hast chosen, and of the temple which I have built to thy name:\n49 Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy throne, their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them:\n50 And forgive thy people, that have sinned against thee, and all their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against thee: and give them mercy before them that have made them captives, that they may have compassion on them.\n51 For they are thy people, and thy inheritance, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron.\n52 That thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, to hear them in all things for which they shall call upon thee.\n53 For thou hast separated them to thyself for an inheritance from among all the people of the earth, as thou hast spoken by Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.\n54 And it came to pass, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, that he rose from before the altar of the Lord: for he had fixed both knees on the ground, and had spread his hands towards heaven.\n55 And he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a, loud voice, saying:\n56 Blessed be the Lord, who hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed so much as one word of all the good things that he promised by his servant Moses.\n57 The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers, and not leave us, nor cast us off:\n58 But may he incline our hearts to himself, that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and all his judgments which he commanded our fathers.\n59 And let these my words, wherewith I have prayed before the Lord, he nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he may do judgment for his servant, and for his people Israel day by day:\n60 That all the people of the earth may know, that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him.\n61 Let our hearts also be perfect with the Lord our God, that we may walk in his statutes, and keep his commandments, as at this day.\n62 And the king, and all Israel him, offered victims before the Lord.\n63 And Solomon slew victims of peace offerings, which he sacrificed to the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king, and the children of Israel dedicated the temple of the Lord.\n64 In that day the king sanctified the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord: for there he offered the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the Lord, was too little to receive the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings.\n65 And Solomon made at the same time a solemn feast, and all Israel with him, a great multitude from the entrance of Emath to the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days and seven days, that is, fourteen days.\n66 And on the eighth day he sent away the people: and they blessed the king, and went to their dwellings rejoicing, and glad in heart for all the good things that the Lord had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "- **Book:** 2 Chronicles\n- **Chapter:** 29\n- **Verse:** 33", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Old Testament, 2 Chronicles chapter

with his friends, came to the place as though he would marry her, and that he might receive great sums of money under the title of a dowry.\n15 And when the priests of Nanea had set it forth, and he with a small company had entered into the compass of the temple, they shut the temple,\n16 When Antiochus was come in: and opening a secret entrance of the temple, they cast stones and slew the

Scenopegia, and the day of the fire, that was given when Nehemias offered sacrifice, after the temple and the altar was built.\n19 For when our fathers were led into Persia, the priests that then were worshippers of God took privately the fire from the altar, and hid it in a valley where there was a deep pit without water, and there they kept it safe, so that the place was unknown to all men.\n20 But when many years had passed, and it pleased God that Nehemias should be sent by the king of Persia, he sent some of the posterity of those priests that had hid it, to seek for the fire: and as they told us, they found no fire, but thick water.\n21 Then he bade them draw it up, and bring it to him: and the priest Nehemias commanded the sacrifices that were laid on, to be sprinkled with the same water, both the wood, and the things that were laid upon it.\n22 And when this was done, and the time came that the sun shone out, which before was in a cloud, there was a great fire kindled, so that all wondered.\n23 And all the priests made prayer, while the sacrifice was consuming, Jonathan beginning, and the rest answering.\n24 And the prayer of Nehemias was after this manner: O Lord God, Creator of all things, dreadful and strong, just and merciful, who alone art the good king,\n25 Who alone art gracious, who alone art just, and almighty, and eternal, who deliverest Israel from all evil, who didst choose the fathers and didst sanctify them:\n26 Receive the sacrifice for all thy people Israel, and preserve thy own portion, and sanctify it.\n27 Gather together our scattered people, deliver them that are slaves to the Gentiles, and look upon them that are despised and abhorred: that the Gentiles may know that thou art our God.\n28 Punish them that oppress us, and that treat us injuriously with pride.\n29 Establish thy people in thy holy place, as Moses hath spoken.\n30 And the priests sung hymns till the sacrifice was consumed.\n31 And when the sacrifice was consumed, Nehemias commanded the water that was left to be poured out upon the great stones.\n32 Which being done, there was kindled a flame from them: but it was consumed by the light that shined from the altar.\n**33 And when this matter became public, it was told to the king of Persia, that in the place where the priests that were led away, had hid the fire, there appeared water, with which

Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee from the hand of Saul,\n8 And gave thee thy master's house and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and Juda: and if these things be little, I shall add far greater things unto thee.\n9 Why therefore hast thou despised the word of the Lord, to do evil in my sight? Thou hast killed Urias the Hethite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.\n10 Therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house, because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Urias the Hethite to be thy wife.\n11 Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thy own house, and I will take thy wives before thy eyes I and give them to thy neighhour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.\n12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and in the sight of the sun.\n13 And David said to Nathan: I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David: The Lord also hath taken away thy sin: thou shalt not die.\n14 Nevertheless, because thou hast given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, for this thing, the child that is born to thee, shall surely die.\n15 And Nathan returned to his house.

For they said: Behold when the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how much more will he afflict himself if we tell him that the child is dead?\n19 But when David saw his servants whispering, he understood that the child was dead: and he said to his servants: Is the child dead? They answered him: He is dead.\n20 Then David arose from the ground, and washed and anointed himself: and when he had changed his apparel, he went into the house of the Lord: and worshipped, and then he came into his own house, and he called for bread, and ate.\n21 And his servants said to him: What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive, but when the child was dead, thou didst rise up, and eat bread.\n22 And he said: While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept for him: for I said: Who knoweth whether the Lord may not give him to me, and the child may live?\n23 But now that he is dead, why should I fast?

You shall not dwell therein long, but the Lord will destroy you,\n27 And scatter you among all nations, and you shall remain a few among the nations, to which the Lord shall lead you.\n28 And there you shall serve gods, that were framed with men's hands: wood and stone, that neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.\n29 And when thou shalt seek there the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him: yet so, if thou seek him with all thy heart, and all the affliction of thy soul.\n30 After all the things aforesaid shall and thee, in the latter time thou shalt return to the Lord thy God, and shalt hear his voice.\n31 Because the Lord thy God is a merciful God: he will not leave thee, nor altogether destroy thee, nor forget the covenant, by which he swore to thy fathers.\n32 Ask of the days of old, that have been before thy time from the day that God created man upon the earth, from one end of heaven to the other end thereof, if ever there was done the like thing, or it hath been known at any time,\n33 That a people should hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of fire, as thou hast heard, and lived:\n34 If God ever did so as to go, and take to himself a nation out of the midst of nations by temptations, signs, and wonders, by fight, and a strong hand, and stretched out arm, and horrible visions according to all the things that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before thy eyes.\n35 That thou mightest know that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him.\n36 From heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might teach thee. And upon earth he shewed thee his exceeding great fire, and thou didst hear his words out of the midst of the fire,\n37 Because he loved thy fathers, and chose their seed after them. And he brought thee out of Egypt, going before thee with his great power,\n38 To destroy at thy coming very great nations, and stronger than thou art, and to bring thee in, and give thee their land for a possession, as thou seest at this present day.\n39 Know therefore this day, and think in thy heart that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath, and there is no other.\n40 Keep his precepts and commandments, which I command thee: that it may be well with thee, and thy children after thee, and thou mayst remain a long time upon the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee.\n41 Then Moses set aside three cities beyond the Jordan at the east side,\n42 That any one might flee to them who should kill his neighbour unwillingly, and was not his enemy a day or two before, and that he might escape to some one of these cities:\n43 Bosor in the wilderness, which is situate in the plains of the tribe of Ruben: and Ramoth in Galaad, which is in the tribe of Gad: and Golan in Basan, which is in the tribe of Manasses.\n44 This is the law, that Moses set before the children of Israel,\n45 And these are the testimonies and ceremonies and judgments, which he spoke to the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt,\n46 Beyond the Jordan in the valley over against the temple of Phogor, in the land of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that dwelt in Hesebon, whom Moses slew.

Now for their names, Samaria is Oolla, and Jerusalem is Ooliba.\n5 And Oolla committed fornication against me, and doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians that came to her,\n6 Who were clothed with blue, princes, and rulers, beautiful youths, all horsemen, mounted upon horses.\n7 And she committed her fornications with those chosen men, all sons of the Assyrians: and she defiled herself with the uncleanness of all them on whom she doted.\n8 Moreover also she did not forsake her fornications which she had committed in Egypt: for they also lay with her in her youth, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured out their fornication upon her.\n9 Therefore have I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the sons of the Assyrians, upon whose lust she doted.\n10 They discovered her disgrace, took away her sons and daughters, and slew her with the sword: and they became infamous women, and they executed judgments in her.\n11 And when her sister Ooliba saw this, she was mad with lust more than she: and she carried her fornication beyond the fornication of her sister.\n12 Impudently prostituting herself to the children of the Assyrians, the princes, and rulers that came to her, clothed with divers colours, to the horsemen that rode upon horses, and to young men all of great beauty.\n13 And I saw that she was defiled, and that they both took one way.\n14 And she increased her fornications: and when she had seen men painted on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans set forth in colours,\n15 And girded with girdles about their reins, and with dyed turbans on their heads, the resemblance of all the captains, the likeness of the sons of Babylon, and of the land of the Chaldeans wherein they were born,\n16 She doted upon them with the lust of her eyes, and she sent messengers to them into Chaldea.\n17 And when the sons of Babylon were come to her to the bed of love, they defiled her with their fornications, and she was polluted by them, and her soul was glutted with them.\n18 And she discovered her fornications, and discovered her disgrace: and my soul was alienated from her, as my soul was alienated from her sister.\n19 For she multiplied her fornications, remembering the days of her youth, in which she played the harlot in the land of Egypt.\n20 And she was mad with lust after lying with them whose flesh is as the flesh of asses: and whose issue as the issue of horses.\n21 And thou hast renewed the wickedness of thy youth, when thy breasts were pressed in Egypt, and the paps of thy virginity broken.\n22 Therefore, Ooliba, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will raise up against thee all thy lovers with whom thy soul hath been glutted: and I will gather them together against thee round about.\n23 The children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, the nobles, and the kings, and princes, all the sons of the Assyrians, beautiful young men, all the captains, and rulers, the princes of princes, and the renowned

with thee in hatred, and they shall take away all thy labours, and shall let thee go naked, and full of disgrace, and the disgrace of thy fornication shall be discovered, thy wickedness, and thy fornications.\n30 They have done these things to thee, because thou hast played the harlot with the nations among which thou wast defiled with their idols.\n31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy

me off behind thy back, bear thou also thy wickedness, and thy fornications.\n36 And the Lord spoke to me, saying: Son of man, dost thou judge Oolla, and Ooliba, and dost thou declare to them their

And Amnon said to him: I am in love with Thamar the sister of my brother Absalom.\n5 And Jonadab said to him: Lie down upon thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father shall come to visit thee, say to him: Let my sister Thamar, I pray thee, come to me, to give me to eat, and to make me a mess, that I may eat it at her hand.\n6 So Amnon lay down, and made as if he were sick: and when the king came to visit him, Amnon said to the king: I pray thee let my sister Thamar come, and make in my sight two little messes, that I may eat at her hand.\n7 Then David sent home to Thamar, saying: Come to the house of thy brother Amnon, and make him a mess.\n8 And Thamar came to the house of Amnon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes.\n9 And taking what she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, but he would not eat: and Amnon said: Put out all persons from me. And when they had put all persons out,\n10 Amnon said to Thamar: Bring the mess into the chamber, that I may eat at thy hand. And Thamar took the little messes which she had made, and brought them in to her brother Amnon in the chamber.\n11 And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister.\n12 She answered him: Do not so, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not thou this folly.\n13 For I shall not be able to bear my shame, and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: but rather speak to the king, and he will not deny me to thee.\n14 But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her.\n15 Then Amnon hated her with an exceeding great hatred: so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before, And Amnon said to her: Arise, and get thee gone.\n16 She answered him: This evil which now thou dost against me, in driving me away, is greater than that which thou didst before. And he would not hearken to her:\n17 But calling the servants that ministered to him, he said: Thrust this woman out from me: and shut the door after her.\n18 And she was clothed with along robe: for the king's daughters that were virgins, used such kind of garments. Then his servant thrust her out: and shut the door after her.\n**19 And she put ashes on her head, and rent her long robe and laid her hands upon her head, and went on crying.**\n20 And Absalom her brother said to her: Hath thy brother Amnon lain with thee? but now, sister, hold thy peace, he is thy brother: and afflict not thy heart for this thing. So Thamar remained pining away in the house of Absalom her brother.\n21 And when king David heard of these things he was exceedingly grieved: and he would not afflict the spirit of his son Amnon, for he loved him, because he was his firstborn.\n22 But Absalom spoke not to Amnon neither good nor evil: for Absalom hated Amnon because he had ravished his sister Thamar.\n23 And it came to pass after two years, that the sheep of Absalom were shorn in Baalhasor, which is near Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons:\n24 And he came to the king, and said to him: Behold thy servant's sheep are shorn. Let the king, I pray, with his servants come to his servant.\n25 And the king said to Absalom: Nay, my son, do not ask that we should all come, and be chargeable to thee. And when he pressed him, and he would not go, he blessed him.\n26 And Absalom said: If thou wilt not come, at least let my brother Amnon, I beseech thee, come with us. And the king said to him: It is not necessary that he should go with thee.\n27 But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king.\n28 And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying: Take notice when Amnon shall be drunk with wine, and when I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and be valiant men.\n29 And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded them. And all the king's sons arose and got up every man upon his mule, and fled.\n30 And while they were yet in the way, a rumour came to David, saying: Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.\n31 Then the king rose up, and rent his garments: and fell upon the ground, and all his servants, that stood about him, rent their garments.\n32 But Jonadab the son of Semmaa David's brother answering, said: Let not my lord the king think that all the king's sons are slain: Amnon only is dead, for he was appointed by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he ravished his sister Thamar.\n33 Now therefore let not my lord the king take this thing into his heart, saying: All the king's sons are slain: for Amnon only is dead.\n34 But Absalom fled away: and the young man that kept the watch, lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold there came much people by a by-way on the side of the mountain.\n35 And Jonadab said to the king: Behold the king's sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is.\n36 And when he made an end of speaking, the king's sons also appeared: and coming in they lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very much.\n37 But Absalom fled, and went to Tholomai the son of Ammiud the king of Gessur.

It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.\n15 And I said: Who art thou, Lord?

But he told not this to his father.\n2 And Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gabaa under the pomegranate tree, which was in Magron: and the people with him were about six hundred men.\n3 And Achias the son of Achitob brother to Ichabod the son of Phinees, the son of Heli the priest of the Lord in Silo, wore the ephod. And the people knew not whither Jonathan was gone.\n4 Now there were between the ascents, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines, rocks standing up on both sides, and steep cliffs like teeth on the one side, and on the other, the name of the one was Boses, and the name of the other was Sene:\n5 One rock stood out towards the north over against Machmas, and the other to the south over against Gabaa.\n6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised, it may be the Lord will do for us, because it is easy for the Lord to save either by many, or by few.\n7 And his armourbearer said to him: Do all that pleaseth thy mind: go whither thou wilt, and I will be with thee wheresoever thou hast a mind.\n8 And Jonathan said: Behold we will go over to these men. And when we shall be seen by them,\n9 If they shall speak thus to us: Stay till we come to you: let us stand still in our place, and not go up to them.\n10 But if they shall say: Come up to us: let us go up, because the Lord hath delivered them into our hands, this shall be a sign unto us.\n11 So both of them discovered themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said: Behold the Hebrews come forth out of the holes wherein they were hid.\n12 And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan, and to his armourbearer, and said: Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armourbearer: Let us go up, follow me: for the Lord hath delivered them into the hands of Israel.\n13 And Jonathan went up creeping on his hands and feet, and his armourbearer after him. And some fell before Jonathan, others his armourbearer slew as he followed him.\n14 And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was of about twenty men, within half an acre of land, which a yoke of oxen is wont to plough in a day.\n15 And there was a miracle in the camp, through the fields: yea and all the people of their garrison, who had gone out to plunder, were amazed, and the earth trembled: and it happened as a miracle from God.\n16 And the watchmen of Saul, who were in Gabaa of Benjamin looked, and behold a multitude overthrown, and fleeing this way and that.\n17 And Saul said to the people that were with him: Look, and see who is gone from us. And when they had sought, it was found that Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.\n18 And Saul said to Achias: Bring the ark of the Lord. (For the ark of God was there that day with the children of Israel.)\n19 And while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great uproar in the camp of the Philistines: and it increased by degrees, and was heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest: Draw in thy hand.\n20 Then Saul and all the people that were with him, shouted together, and they came to the place of the fight: and behold every man's sword was turned upon his neighbour, and there was a very great slaughter.\n21 Moreover the Hebrews that had been with the Philistines yesterday and the day before, and went up with them into the camp, returned to be with the Israelites, who were with Saul and Jonathan.\n22 And all the Israelites that had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines fled, joined themselves with their countrymen in the fight. And there were with Saul about ten thousand men.\n23 And the Lord saved Israel that day. And the fight went on as far as Bethaven.\n24 And the men of Israel were joined together that day; and Saul adjured the people, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat food till evening, till I be revenged of my enemies. So none of the people tasted any food:\n25 And all the common people came into a forest, in which there was honey upon the ground.\n26 And when the people came into the forest, behold the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth. For the people feared the oath.\n27 But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people: and he put forth the end of the rod, which he had in his hand, and dipt it in a honeycomb: and he carried his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.\n28 And one of the people answering, said: Thy father hath bound the people with an oath, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat any food this day. (And the people were faint.)\n29 And Jonathan said: My father hath troubled the land: you have seen yourselves that my eyes are enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey:\n30 How much more if the people had eaten of the prey of their enemies, which they found? had there not been made a greater slaughter among the Philistines?\n31 So they smote that day the Philistines from Machmas to Ailon. And the people were wearied exceedingly.\n32 And falling upon the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people ate them with the blood.\n33 And they told Saul that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood. And he said: You have transgressed: roll here to me now a great stone.\n**34 And Saul said: Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring me every man his ox and his ram, and slay them upon this stone, and eat, and you shall not sin against the Lord in eating with the blood. So all the people brought every man his ox with him till the night: and slew them there.**\n35 And Saul built an altar to the Lord and he then first began to build an altar to the Lord.\n36 And Saul said: Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and destroy them till the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And the people said: Do all that seemeth good in thy eyes. And the priest said: Let us draw near hither unto God.\n37 And Saul consulted the Lord: Shall I pursue after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not that day.\n38 And Saul said: Bring hither all the corners of the people: and know, and see by whom this sin hath happened to day.\n39 As the Lord liveth who is the saviour of Israel, if it was done by Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. In this none of the people gainsaid him.\n40 And he said to all Israel: Be you on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people answered Saul: Do what seemeth good in thy eyes.\n41 And Saul said to the Lord: O Lord God of Israel, give a sign, by which we may know, what the meaning is, that thou answerest not thy servant to day. If this iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, give a proof: or if this iniquity be in thy people, give holiness. And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped.\n42 And Saul said: Cast lots between me, and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.\n43 And Saul said to Jonathan: Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said: I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod, which was in my hand, and behold I must die.\n44 And Saul said: May God do so and so to me, and add still more: for dying thou shalt die, O Jonathan.\n45 And the people said to Saul: Shall Jonathan then die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? This must not be. As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he should not die.\n46 And Saul went back, and did not pursue after the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own places.\n47 And Saul having his kingdom established over Israel, fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Soba, and the Philistines; and whithersoever he turned himself, he overcame.\n48 And gathering together an army, he defeated Amalec, and delivered Israel from the hand of them that spoiled them.\n49 And the sons of Saul, were Jonathan, and Jessui, and Melchisua: and the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn was Merob, and the name of the younger Michol.\n50 And the name of Saul's wife, was Achinoam the daughter of Achimaas; and the name of the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, the cousin german of Saul.\n51 For Cis was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner, was son of Abiel.\n52 And there was a great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul.

Now Joram had besieged Ramoth Galaad, he and all Israel fighting with Hazael king of Syria:\n15 And was returned to be healed in Jezrahel of his wounds, for the Syrians had wounded him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Jehu said: If it please you, let no man go forth or flee out of the city, lest he go, and tell in Jezrahel.\n16 And he got up, and went into Jezrahel: for Joram was sick there, and Ochozias king of Juda was come down to visit Joram.\n17 The watchmen therefore, that stood upon the tower of Jezrahel, saw the troop of Jehu coming, and said: I see a troop. And Joram said: Take a chariot, and send to meet them, and let him that goeth say: Is all well?\n18 So there went one in a chariot to meet him, and said: Thus saith the king: Are all things peaceable?

And they made ready his chariot, and Joram king of Israel, and Ochozias king of Juda went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him in the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite.\n22 And when Joram saw Jehu, he said: Is there peace, Jehu? And he answered: What peace? so long as the fornications of Jezabel thy mother, and her many sorceries are in their vigour.\n23 And Joram turned his hand, and fleeing, said to Ochozias: There is treachery, Ochozias.\n24 But Jehu bent Iris bow with his hand, and shot Joram between the shoulders: and the arrow went out through his heart, and immediately he fell in his chariot.\n25 And Jehu said to Badacer his captain: Take him, and cast him into the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite: for I remember when I and thou sitting in a chariot followed Achab this man's father, that the Lord laid this burden upon him, saying:\n26 If I do not requite thee in this field, saith the Lord, for the blood of Naboth, and for the blood of his children, which I saw yesterday, saith the Lord.

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.

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.\n**21 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.\n55 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? And Abner said: As thy soul liveth, O king, I know not.\n56 And the king said: Inquire thou, whose son this man is.\n57 And when David was returned, after the Philistine was slain, Abner took him, and brought him in before Saul, with the head of the Philistine in his hand.\n58 And Saul said to him: Young man, of what family art thou?

of the places of Persia, and being taken with a grievous disease, I thought it necessary to take care for the common good:\n22 Not distrusting my life, but having great hope to escape the sickness.\n23 But considering that my father also, at what time he led an army into the higher countries, appointed who should reign after him:\n24 To the end that if any thing contrary to expectation should fall out, or any bad tidings should be brought, they that were in the countries, knowing to whom the whole government was left, might not be troubled.\n25 Moreover, considering that neighbouring princes and borderers wait for opportunities, and expect what shall be the event, I have appointed my son Antiochus king, whom I often recommended to many of you, when I went into the

continue to be faithful to me and to my son.\n27 For I trust that he will behave with moderation and humanity, and following my intentions, will be gracious unto you.\n**28 Thus the murderer and

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.\n**20 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

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 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.

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.

And Isboseth said to Abner:\n8 Why didst thou go in to my father's concubine? And he was exceedingly angry for the words of Isboseth, and said: Am I a dog's head against Juda this day, who have shewn mercy to the house of Saul thy father, and to his brethren and friends, and have not delivered thee into the hands of David, and hast thou sought this day against me to charge me with a matter concerning a woman?\n9 So do God to Abner, and more also, unless as the Lord hath sworn to David, so I do to him,\n10 That the kingdom be translated from the house of Saul, and the throne of David be set up over Israel, and over Juda from Dan to Bersabee.\n11 And he could not answer him a word, because he feared him.\n12 Abner therefore sent messengers to David for himself, saying: Whose is the land? and that they should say: Make a league with me, and my hand shall be with thee: and I will bring all Israel to thee.\n13 And he said: Very well: I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, saying: Thou shalt not see my face before thou bring Michol the daughter of Saul: and so thou shalt come, and see me.\n14 And David sent messengers to Isboseth the son of Saul, saying: Restore my wife Michol, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.\n15 And Isboseth sent, and took her from her husband Phaltiel, the son of Lais.\n16 And her husband followed her, weeping as far as Bahurim: and Abner said to him: Go and return. And he returned.\n17 Abner also spoke to the ancients of Israel, saying: Both yesterday and the day before you sought for David that he might reign over you.\n18 Now then do it: because the Lord hath spoken to David, saying: By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel from the hands of the Philistines, and of all their enemies.\n19 And Abner spoke also to Benjamin. And he went to speak to David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to all Benjamin.\n20 And he came to David in Hebron with twenty men: and David made a feast for Abner, and his men that came with him.\n21 And Abner said to David: I will rise, that I may gather all Israel unto thee my lord the king, and may enter into a league with thee, and that thou mayst reign over all as thy soul desireth. Now when David bad brought Abner on his way, and he was gone in peace,\n22 Immediately David's servants and Joab came, after having slain the robbers, with an exceeding great booty: and Abner, was not with David in Hebron, for he had now sent him away, and he was gone in peace.\n23 And Joab and all the army that was with him, came afterwards: and it was told Joab, that Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.\n24 And Joab went in to the king, and said: What hast thou done? Behold Abner came to thee: Why didst thou send him away, and he is gone and departed?\n25 Knowest thou not Abner the son of Ner, that to this end he came to thee, that he might deceive thee, and to know thy going out, and thy coming in, and to know all thou dost?\n26 Then Joab going out from David, sent messengers after Abner, and brought him back from the cistern of Sira, David knowing nothing of it.\n27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside to the middle of the gate, to speak to him treacherously: and he stabbed him there in the groin, and he died, in revenge of the blood of Asael his brother.\n28 And when David heard of it, after the thing was now done, he said: I, and my kingdom are innocent before the Lord for ever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner:\n29 And may it come upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father's house: and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue of seed, or that is a leper, or that holdeth the distaff, or that falleth by the sword, or that wanteth bread.\n30 So Joab and Abisai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother Asael at Gabaon in the battle.\n31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him: Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloths, and mourn before the funeral of Abner. And king David himself followed the bier.\n32 And when they had buried Abner in Hebron, king David lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner: and all the people also wept.\n33 And the king mourning and lamenting over Abner, said: Not as cowards are wont to die, hath Abner died.\n34 Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet laden with fetters: but as men fall before the children of iniquity, so didst thou fall.

what the chapter says:\n*1 Kings Chapter 8*\n1 Then all the ancients of Israel with the princes of the tribes, and the heads of the families of the children of Israel were assembled to king Solomon in Jerusalem: that they might carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, that is, out of Sion.\n2 And all Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon on the festival day in the month of Ethanim, the same is the seventh month.\n3 And all the ancients of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark,\n4 And carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, that were in the tabernacle: and the priests and the Levites carried them.\n5 And king Solomon, and all the multitude of Israel, that were assembled unto him went with him before the ark, and they sacrificed sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered.\n6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, into the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims.\n7 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and covered the art, and the staves thereof above.\n8 And whereas the staves stood out, the ends of them were seen without in the sanctuary before the oracle, but were not seen farther out, and there they have been unto this day.\n9 Now in the ark there was nothing else but the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.\n10 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, that a cloud filled the house of the Lord,\n11 And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.\n12 Then Solomon said: The Lord said that he would dwell in a cloud.\n13 Building I have built a house for thy dwelling, to be thy most firm throne for ever.\n14 And the king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: for all the assembly of Israel stood.\n15 And Solomon said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and with his own hands hath accomplished it, saying:\n16 Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built, that my name might be there: but I chose David to be over my people Israel.\n17 And David my father would have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel:\n18 And the Lord said to David my father: Whereas thou hast thought in thy heart to build a house to my name, thou hast done well in having this same thing in thy mind.\n19 Nevertheless thou shalt not build me a house, but thy son, that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name.\n20 The Lord hath performed his word which he spoke: and I stand in the room of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel.\n21 And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when they came out of the land of Egypt.\n22 And Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the sight of the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards heaven;\n23 And said: Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven above, or on earth beneath: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that have walked before thee with all their heart.\n24 Who hast kept with thy servant David my father what thou hast promised him: with thy mouth thou didst speak, and with thy hands thou hast performed, as this day proveth.\n25 Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father what thou hast spoken to him, saying: There shall not be taken away of thee a man in my sight, to sit on the throne of Israel: yet so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked in my sight.\n26 And now, Lord God of Israel, let thy words be established, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David my father.\n27 Is it then to be thought that God should indeed dwell upon earth? for if heaven, and the heavens of heavens cannot contain thee, how much less this house which I have built?\n28 But have regard to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, O Lord my God: hear the hymn and the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee this day:\n29 That thy eyes may be open upon this house night and day: upon the house of which thou hast said: My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth in this place to thee.\n30 That thou mayest hearken to the supplication of thy servant and of thy people Israel, whatsoever they shall pray for in this place, and hear them in the place of thy dwelling in heaven; and when thou hearest, shew them mercy.\n31 If any man trespass against his neighbour, and have an oath upon him, wherewith he is bound: and come because of the oath before thy altar to thy house,\n32 Then hear thou in heaven: and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, and bringing his way upon his own head, and justifying the just, and rewarding him according to his justice.\n33 If thy people Israel shall fly before their enemies, (because they will sin against thee,) and doing penance, and confessing to thy name, shall come, and pray, and make supplications to thee in this house:\n34 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them back to the land which thou gavest to their fathers.\n35 If heaven shall be shut up, and there shall be no rain, because of their sins, and they praying in this place, shall do penance to thy name, and shall be converted from their sins, by occasion of their afflictions:\n36 Then hear thou them in heaven, and forgive the sins of thy servants, and of thy people Israel: and shew them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people in possession.\n37 If a famine arise in the land, or a pestilence, or corrupt air, or blasting, or locust, or mildew, if their enemy afflict them besieging the gates, whatsoever plague, whatsoever infirmity,\n38 Whatsoever curse or imprecation shall happen to any man of thy people Israel: when a man shall know the wound of his own heart, and shall spread forth his hands in this house,\n39 Then hear thou in heaven, in the place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and do so as to give to every one according to his ways, as thou shalt see his heart (for thou only knowest the heart of all the children of men)\n40 That they may fear thee all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which thou hast given to our fathers.\n41 Moreover also the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name's sake, (for they shall hear everywhere of thy great name and thy mighty hand,\n42 And thy stretched out arm,) so when he shall come, and shall pray in this place,\n43 Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy dwelling place, and do all those things, for which that stranger shall call upon thee: that all the people of the earth may learn to fear thy name, as do thy people Israel, and may prove that thy name is called upon on this house, which I have built.\n44 If thy people go out to war against their enemies, by what way soever thou shalt send them, they shall pray to thee towards the way of the city, which thou hast chosen, and towards the house, which I have built to thy name:\n45 And then hear thou in heaven their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them.\n46 But if they sin against thee (for there is no man who sinneth not) and thou being angry deliver them up to their enemies, so that they be led away captives into the land of their enemies far or near;\n**47 Then if they do penance in their heart in the place of captivity, and being converted make supplication to thee in their captivity, saying: We have sinned, we have done unjustly, we have committed wickedness:**\n48 And return to thee with all their heart, and all their soul, in the land of their enemies, to which they had been led captives: and pray to thee towards the way of their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, and of the city which thou hast chosen, and of the temple which I have built to thy name:\n49 Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy throne, their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them:\n50 And forgive thy people, that have sinned against thee, and all their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against thee: and give them mercy before them that have made them captives, that they may have compassion on them.\n51 For they are thy people, and thy inheritance, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron.\n52 That thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, to hear them in all things for which they shall call upon thee.\n53 For thou hast separated them to thyself for an inheritance from among all the people of the earth, as thou hast spoken by Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.\n54 And it came to pass, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, that he rose from before the altar of the Lord: for he had fixed both knees on the ground, and had spread his hands towards heaven.\n55 And he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a, loud voice, saying:\n56 Blessed be the Lord, who hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed so much as one word of all the good things that he promised by his servant Moses.\n57 The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers, and not leave us, nor cast us off:\n58 But may he incline our hearts to himself, that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and all his judgments which he commanded our fathers.\n59 And let these my words, wherewith I have prayed before the Lord, he nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he may do judgment for his servant, and for his people Israel day by day:\n60 That all the people of the earth may know, that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him.\n61 Let our hearts also be perfect with the Lord our God, that we may walk in his statutes, and keep his commandments, as at this day.\n62 And the king, and all Israel him, offered victims before the Lord.\n63 And Solomon slew victims of peace offerings, which he sacrificed to the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king, and the children of Israel dedicated the temple of the Lord.\n64 In that day the king sanctified the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord: for there he offered the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the Lord, was too little to receive the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings.\n65 And Solomon made at the same time a solemn feast, and all Israel with him, a great multitude from the entrance of Emath to the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days and seven days, that is, fourteen days.\n66 And on the eighth day he sent away the people: and they blessed the king, and went to their dwellings rejoicing, and glad in heart for all the good things that the Lord had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.\n", "role": "assistant" }, {

the son of Simeon, a priest of the sons of Joarib, from Jerusalem, and he abode in the mountain of Modin.\n2 And he had five sons: John who was surnamed Gaddis:\n3 And Simon, who was surnamed Thasi:\n4 And Judas, who was called Machabeus:\n5 And Eleazar, who was surnamed Abaron: and Jonathan, who was surnamed Apphus.\n6 These saw the evils that were done in the people of Juda, and in Jerusalem.\n7 And Mathathias said: Woe is me, wherefore was I born to see the ruin of my people, and the ruin of the holy city, and to dwell there, when it is given into the hands of the enemies?\n8 The holy places are come into the hands of strangers: her temple is become as a man without honour.\n9 The vessels of her glory are carried away captive: her old men are murdered in the streets, and her young men are fallen by the sword of the enemies.\n10 What nation hath not inherited her kingdom, and gotten of her spoils?\n11 All her ornaments are taken away. She that was free is made a slave.\n12 And behold our sanctuary, and our beauty, and our glory is laid waste, and the Gentiles have defiled them.\n13 To what end then should we live any longer?\n14 And Mathathias and his sons rent their garments, and they covered themselves with haircloth, and made great lamentation.\n15 And they that were sent from king Antiochus came thither, to compel them that were fled into the city of Modin, to sacrifice, and to burn incense, and to depart from the law of God.\n16 And many of the people of Israel consented, and came to them: but Mathathias and his sons stood firm.\n17 And they that were sent from Antiochus, answering, said to Mathathias: Thou art a ruler, and an honourable, and great man in this city, and adorned with sons, and brethren.\n18 Therefore come thou first, and obey the king's commandment, as all nations have done, and the men of Juda, and they that remain in Jerusalem: and thou, and thy sons, shall be in the number of the king's friends, and enriched with gold, and silver, and many presents.\n19 Then Mathathias answered, and said with a loud voice: Although all nations obey king Antiochus, so as to depart every man from the service of the law of his fathers, and consent to his commandments:\n20 I and my sons, and my brethren will obey the law of our fathers.\n21 God be merciful unto us: it is not profitable for us to forsake the law, and the justices of God:\n22 We will not hearken to the words of king Antiochus, neither will we sacrifice, and transgress the commandments of our law, to go another way.\n23 Now as he left off speaking these words, there came a certain Jew in the sight of all to sacrifice to the idols upon the altar in the city of Modin, according to the king's commandment.\n24 And Mathathias saw and was grieved, and his reins trembled, and his wrath was kindled according to the judgment of the law, and running upon him he slew him upon the altar:\n25 Moreover the man whom king Antiochus had sent, who compelled them to sacrifice, he slew at the same time, and pulled down the altar.\n26 And shewed zeal for the law, as Phinees did by Zamri the son of Salomi.\n27 And Mathathias cried out in the city with a loud voice, saying: Every one that hath zeal for the law, and maintaineth the testament, let him follow me.\n28 So he, and his sons fled into the mountains, and left all that they had in the city.\n29 Then many that sought after judgment, and justice, went down into the desert:\n30 And they abode there, they and their children, and their wives, and their cattle: because afflictions increased upon them.\n31 And it was told to the king's men, and to the army that was in Jerusalem in the city of David, that certain men who had broken the king's commandment, were gone away into the secret places in the wilderness, and that many were gone after them.\n32 And forthwith they went out towards them, and made war against them on the sabbath day,\n33 And they said to them: Do you still resist? come forth, and do according to the edict of king Antiochus, and you shall live.\n34 And they said: We will not come forth, neither will we obey the king's edict, to profane the sabbath day.\n35 And they made haste to give them battle.\n36 But they answered them not, neither did they cast a stone at them, nor stopped up the secret places,\n37 Saying: Let us all die in our innocency: and heaven and earth shall be witnesses for us, that you put us to death wrongfully.\n38 So they gave them battle on the sabbath: and they were slain with their wives, and their children, and their cattle, to the number of a thousand persons.\n39 And Mathathias and his friends heard of it, and they mourned for them exceedingly.\n40 And every man said to his neighbour: If we shall all do as our brethren have done, and not fight against the heathens for our lives, and our justifications: they will now quickly root us out of the earth.\n41 And they determined in that day, saying: Whosoever shall come up against us to fight on the sabbath day, we will fight against him: and we will not all die, as our brethren that were slain in the secret places.\n42 Then was assembled to them the congregation of the Assideans, the stoutest of Israel, every one that had a good will for the law.\n43 And all they that fled from the evils, joined themselves to them, and were a support to them.\n44 And they gathered an army, and slew the sinners in their wrath, and the wicked men in their indignation: and the rest fled to the nations for safety.\n45 And Mathathias and his friends went round about, and they threw down the altars:\n46 And they circumcised all the children whom they found in the confines of Israel that were uncircumcised: and they did valiantly.\n47 And they pursued after the children of pride, and the work prospered in their hands:\n48 And they recovered the law out of the hands of the nations, and out of the hands of the kings: and they yielded not the horn to the sinner.\n49 Now the days drew near that Mathathias should die, and he said to his sons: Now hath pride and chastisement gotten strength, and the time of destruction, and the wrath of indignation:\n50 Now therefore, O my sons, be ye zealous for the law, and give your lives for the covenant of your fathers.\n51 And call to remembrance the works of the fathers, which they have done in their generations: and you shall receive great glory, and an everlasting name.\n52 Was not Abraham found faithful in temptation, and it was reputed to him unto justice?\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.\n**65 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

man, and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he appeared above all the people.\n3 And the asses of Cis, Sauls father, were lost: and Cis said to his son Saul: Take one of the servants with thee, and arise, go, and seek the asses. And when they had passed through mount Ephraim,\n4 And through the land of Salisa, and had not found them, they passed also through the land of Salim, and they were not there: and through the land of Jemini, and found them not.\n5 And when they were come to the land of Suph, Saul said to the servant that was with him: Come, let us return, lest perhaps my father forget the asses, and be concerned for us.\n6 And he said to him: Behold there is a man of God in this city, a famous man: all that he saith, cometh certainly to pass.

Why then hast thou spoken this word to me?\n22 Then Samuel taking Saul and his servant, brought them into the parlour, and gave them a place at the head of them that were invited. For there were about thirty men.\n23 And Samuel said to the cook: Bring the portion, which I gave thee, and commanded thee to set it apart by thee.\n24 And the cook took up the shoulder, and set it before Saul.

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.

and to Lampsacus, and to the Spartans, and to Delus, and Myndus, and Sicyon, and Caria, and Samus, and Pamphylia, and Lycia, and Alicarnassus, and Cos, and Side, and Aradus, and Rhodes, and Phaselis, and Gortyna, and Gnidus, and Cyprus, and Cyrene.\n24 And they wrote a copy thereof to Simon the high priest, and to the people of the Jews.\n25 But king Antiochus moved his camp to Dora the second time, assaulting it continually, and making engines: and shut up Tryphon, that he could not go out.\n26 And Simon sent to him two thousand chosen men to aid him, silver also, and gold, and abundance of furniture.\n27 And he would not receive them, but broke all the covenant that he had made with him before, and alienated himself from him.\n28 And he sent to him Athenobius one of his friends, to treat with him, saying: You hold Joppe, and Gazara, and the castle that is in Jerusalem, which are cities of my kingdom:\n29 Their borders you have wasted, and you have made great havock in the land, and have got the dominion of many places in my kingdom.\n30 Now therefore deliver up the cities that you have taken, and the tributes of the places whereof you have gotten the dominion without the borders of Judea.\n31 But if not, give me for them five hundred talents of silver, and for the havock that you have made, and the tributes of the cities other five hundred talents: or else we will come and fight against you.\n32 So Athenobius the king's friend came to Jerusalem, and saw the glory of Simon and his magnificence in gold, and silver, and his great equipage, and he was astonished, and told him the king's words.\n33 And Simon answered him, and said to him: We have neither taken other men's land, neither do we hold that which is other men's: but the inheritance of our fathers, which was for some time unjustly possessed by our enemies.\n34 But we having opportunity claim the inheritance of our fathers.\n35 And as to thy complaints concerning Joppe and Gazara, they did great harm to the people, and to our country: yet for these we will give a hundred talents. And Athenobius answered him not a word:\n36 But returning in a rage to the king, made report to him of these words, and of the glory of Simon, and of all that he had seen, and the king was exceeding angry.\n37 And Tryphon fled away by ship to Orthosias.\n38 And the king appointed Cendebeus captain of the sea coast, and gave him an army of footmen and horsemen.\n39 And he commanded him to march with his army towards Judea: and he commanded him to build up Gedor, and to fortify the gates of the city, and to war against the people. But the king himself pursued after Tryphon.\n40 And Cendebeus came to Jamnia, and began to provoke the people, and to ravage Judea, and to take the people prisoners, and to kill, and to build Gedor.\n41 And he placed there horsemen, and an army: that they might issue forth, and make incursions upon the ways of Judea, as the king had commanded him.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "From which book and what chapter does \"And every man of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem returned, and Josaphat at their head, into Jerusalem with great joy, because the Lord had made them rejoice over their enemies.\" come?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Your verse is located in *2 Chronicles*, chapter *20*.\n\nTake a look at the whole chapter:\n*2 Chronicles Chapter 20*\n1 After this the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them of the Ammonites, were gathered together to fight against Josaphat.\n2 And there came messengers, and told Josaphat, saying: There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea, and out of Syria, and behold they are in Asasonthamar, which is Engaddi.\n3 And Josaphat being seized with fear betook himself wholly to pray to the Lord, and he proclaimed a fast for all Juda.\n4 And Juda gathered themselves together to pray to the Lord: and all came out of their cities to make supplication to him.\n5 And Josaphat stood in the midst of the assembly of Juda, and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord before the new court,\n6 And said: O Lord God of our fathers, thou art God in heaven, and rulest over all the kingdoms and nations, in thy hand is strength and power, and no one can resist thee.\n7 Didst not thou our God kill all the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?\n8 And they dwelt in it, and built in it a sanctuary to thy name, saying:\n9 If evils fall upon us, the sword of judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand in thy presence before this house, in which thy name is called upon: and we will cry to thee in our afflictions, and thou wilt hear, and save us.\n10 Now therefore behold the children of Ammon, and of Moab, and mount Seir, through whose lands thou didst not allow Israel to pass, when they came out of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and slew them not,\n11 Do the contrary, and endeavour to cast us out of the possession which thou hast delivered to us.\n12 O our God, wilt thou not then judge them? as for us we have not strength enough, to be able to resist this multitude, which cometh violently upon us. But as we know not what to do, we can only turn our eyes to thee.\n13 And all Juda stood before the Lord with their little ones, and their wives, and their children.\n14 And Jahaziel the son of Zacharias, the son of Banaias, the son of Jehiel, the son of Mathanias, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, was there, upon whom the spirit of the Lord came in the midst of the multitude,\n15 And he said: Attend ye, all Juda, and you that dwell in Jerusalem, and thou king Josaphat: Thus saith the Lord to you: Fear ye not, and be not dismayed at this multitude: for the battle is not yours, but God's.\n16 To morrow you shall go down against them: for they will come up by the ascent named Sis, and you shall find them at the head of the torrent, which is over against the wilderness of Jeruel.\n17 It shall not be you that shall fight, but only stand with confidence, and you shall see the help of the Lord over you, O Juda, and Jerusalem: fear ye not, nor be you dismayed: to morrow you shall go out against them, and the Lord will be with you.\n18 Then Josaphat, and Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell hat on the ground before the Lord, and adored him.\n19 And the Levites of the sons of Caath, and of the sons of Core praised the Lord the God of Israel with a loud voice, on high.\n20 And they rose early in the morning, and went out through the desert of Thecua: and as they were marching, Josaphat standing in the midst of them, said: Hear me, ye men of Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be secure: believe his prophets, and all things shall succeed well.\n21 And he gave counsel to the people, and appointed the singing men of the Lord, to praise him by their companies, and to go before the army, and with one voice to say: Give glory to the Lord, for his mercy endureth for ever.\n22 And when they began to sing praises, the Lord turned their ambushments upon themselves, that is to say, of the children of Ammon, and of Moab, and of mount Seir, who were come out to fight against Juda, and they were slain.\n23 For the children of Ammon, and of Moab, rose up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to kill and destroy them: and when they had made an end of them, they turned also against one another, and destroyed one another.\n24 And when Juda came to the watch tower, that looketh toward the desert, they saw afar off all the country, for a great space, full of dead bodies, and that no one was left that could escape death.\n25 Then Josaphat came, and all the people with him to take away the spoils of the dead, and they found among the dead bodies, stuff of various kinds, and garments, and most precious vessels: and they took them for themselves, insomuch that they could not carry all, nor in three days take away the spoils, the booty was so great.\n26 And on the fourth day they were assembled in the valley of Blessing: for there they blessed the Lord, and therefore they called that place the valley of Blessing until this day.\n**27 And every man of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem returned, and Josaphat at their head, into Jerusalem with great joy, because the Lord had made them rejoice over their enemies.**\n28 And they came into Jerusalem with psalteries, and harps, and trumpets into the house of the Lord.\n29 And the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel.\n30 And the kingdom of Josaphat was quiet, and God gave him peace round about.\n31 And Josaphat reigned over Juda, and he was five and thirty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother was Azuba the daughter of Selahi.\n32 And he walked in the way of his father Asa, and departed not from it, doing the things that were pleasing before the Lord.\n33 But yet he took not away the high places, and the people had not yet turned their heart to the Lord the God of their fathers.\n34 But the rest of the acts of Josaphat, first and last, are written in the words of Jehu the son of Hanani, which he digested into the books of the kings of Israel.\n35 After these things Josaphat king of Juda made friendship with Ochozias king of Israel, whose works were very wicked.\n36 And he was partner with him in making ships, to go to Tharsis: and they made the ships in Asiongaber.\n37 And Eliezer the son of Dodau of Maresa prophesied to Josaphat, saying: Because thou hast made a league with Ochozias, the Lord hath destroyed thy works, and the ships are broken, and they could not go to Tharsis.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the chapter and book tied to \"And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran to

If thou wilt take possession of it by the right of kindred: buy it and possess it: but if it please thee not, tell me so, that I may know what I have to do.

up sacrifice, and come ye in his sight: and adore the Lord in holy becomingness.\n30 Let all the earth be moved at his presence: for he hath founded the world immoveable.\n31 Let the heavens rejoice,

And when they inquired for the author of the fact, it was said: Gedeon the son of Joas did all this.\n30 And they said to Joas: Bring out thy son hither, that he may die: because he hath destroyed the altar of Baal, and hath cut down his grove.\n31 He answered them: Are you the avengers of Baal, that you fight for him? he that is his adversary, let him die before to morrow light appear: if he be a god, let him revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar.\n32 From that day Gedeon was called Jerobaal, because Joss had said: Let Baal revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar.\n33 Now all Madian, and Amalec, and the eastern people were gathered together, and passing over the Jordan, camped in the valley of Jezrael.\n34 But the spirit of the Lord came upon Gedeon, and be sounded the trumpet and called together the house of Abiezer, to follow him.\n35 And he sent messengers into all Manasses, and they also followed him: and other messengers into Aser and Zabulon and Nephtali, and they came to meet him.\n36 And Gedeon said to God: If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said,\n37 I will put this fleece of wool on the floor: if there be dew on the fleece only, and it be dry on all the ground beside, I, shall know that by my hand, as thou hast said, thou wilt deliver Israel.\n38 And it was so. And rising before day wringing the fleece, he filled a vessel with the dew.\n39 And he said again to God: let not thy wrath be kindled against me if I try once more, seeking a sign in the fleece. I pray that the fleece only may be dry, and all the ground wet with dew.\n40 And God did that night as he had requested: and it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and chapter does \"And Andrew and Philip, and Bartholomew and Matthew, and Thomas and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananean:\" belong to?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "You're looking at a verse from *Mark*, chapter *3*.\n\nHere's what the chapter says:\n*Mark Chapter 3*\n1 And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who had a withered hand.\n2 And they watched him whether he would heal on the sabbath days; that they might accuse him.\n3 And he said to the man who had the withered hand: Stand up in the midst.\n4 And he saith to them: Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy?

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.

And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of God.\n5 And now send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:\n6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.\n7 And when the angel who spoke to him was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that were under him.\n8 To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.\n9 And on the next day, whilst they were going on their journey, and drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up to the higher parts of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.\n10 And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.\n11 And he saw the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth:\n12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.\n13 And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.\n14 But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.\n15 And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.\n16 And this was done thrice; and presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.\n17 Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself, what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon's house, stood at the gate.\n18 And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.\n19 And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.\n20 Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.\n21 Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause for which you are come?\n22 Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.\n23 Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following he arose, and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe accompanied him.\n24 And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends.\n25 And it came to pass, that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him, and falling at his feet adored.\n26 But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.\n27 And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.\n28 And he said to them: You know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew, to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common or unclean.\n**29 For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for.

heard that Tryphon was gathering together a very great army, to invade the land of Juda, and to destroy it.\n2 And seeing that the people was in dread, and in fear, he went up to Jerusalem, and assembled the people:\n3 And exhorted them, saying: You know what great battles I and my brethren, and the house of my father, have fought for the laws, and the sanctuary, and the distresses that we have seen:\n4 By reason whereof all my brethren have lost their lives for Israel's sake, and I am left alone.\n5 And now far be it from me to spare my life in any time of trouble: for I am not better than my brethren.\n6 I will avenge then my nation and the sanctuary, and our children, and wives: for all the heathens are gathered together to destroy us out of mere malice.\n7 And the spirit of the people was enkindled as soon as they heard these words.\n8 And they answered with a loud voice, saying: Thou art our leader in the place of Judas, and Jonathan thy brother.\n9 Fight thou our battles, and we will do whatsoever thou shalt say to us.\n10 So gathering together all the men of war, he made haste to finish all the walls of Jerusalem, and he fortified it round about.\n11 And he sent Jonathan the son of Absalom, and with him a new army into Joppe, and he cast out them that were in it, and himself remained there.\n12 And Tryphon removed from Ptolemais with a great army, to invade the land of Juda, and Jonathan was with him in custody.\n13 But Simon pitched in Addus, over against the plain.\n14 And when Tryphon understood that Simon was risen up in the place of his brother Jonathan, and that he meant to join battle with him, he sent messengers to him,\n15 Saying: We have detained thy brother Jonathan for the money that he owed in the king's account, by reason of the affairs which he had the management of.\n16 But now send a hundred talents of silver, and his two sons for hostages, that when he is set at liberty he may not revolt from us, and we will release him.\n17 Now Simon knew that he spoke deceitfully to him, nevertheless he ordered the money, and the children to be sent: lest he should bring upon himself a great hatred of the people of Israel, who might have said:\n18 Because he sent not the money, and the children, therefore is he lost.\n19 So he sent the children, and the hundred talents: and he lied, and did not let Jonathan go.\n20 And after this Tryphon entered within the country, to destroy it: and they went about by the way that leadeth to Ador: and Simon and his army marched to every place whithersoever they went.\n21 And they that were in the castle, sent messengers to Tryphon, that he should make haste to come through the desert, and send them victuals.\n22 And Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night: but there fell a very great snow, and he came not into the country of Galaad.\n23 And when he approached to Bascama, he slew Jonathan and his sons there.\n24 And Tryphon returned, and went into his own country.\n25 And Simon sent, and took the bones of Jonathan his brother, and buried them in Modin, in the city of his fathers.\n26 And all Israel bewailed him with great lamentation: and they mourned for him many days.\n27 And Simon built over the sepulchre of his father and of his brethren, a building lofty to the sight, of polished stone behind and before:\n28 And he set up seven pyramids one against another for his father and his mother, and his four brethren:\n29 And round about these he set great pillars: and upon the pillars arms for a perpetual memory: and by the arms ships carved, which might be seen by all that sailed on the sea.\n30 This is the sepulchre that he made in Modin even unto this day.\n31 But Tryphon when he was upon a journey with the young king Antiochus, treacherously slew him.\n32 And he reigned in his place, and put on the crown of Asia: and brought great evils upon the land.\n33 And Simon built up the strong holds of Judea, fortifying them with high towers, and great walls, and gates, and bars: and he stored up victuals in the fortresses.\n34 And Simon chose men and sent to king Demetrius, to the end that he should grant an immunity to the land: for all that Tryphon did was to spoil.\n35 And king Demetrius in answer to this request, wrote a letter in this manner:\n36 King Demetrius to Simon the high priest, and friend of kings, and to the ancients, and to the nation of the Jews, greeting.\n37 The golden crown, and the palm, which you sent, we have received: and we are ready to make a firm peace with you, and to write to the king's chief officers to release you the things that we have released.\n38 For all that we have decreed in your favour, shall stand in force. The strong holds that you have built, shall be your own.\n39 And as for any oversight or fault committed unto this day, we forgive it, and the crown which you owed: and if any other thing were taxed in Jerusalem, now let it not be taxed.\n40 And if any of you be fit to be enrolled among ours, let them be enrolled, and let there be peace between us.\n41 In the year one hundred and seventy the yoke of the Gentiles was taken off from Israel.\n42 And the people of Israel began to write in the instruments, and public records, The first year under Simon the high priest, the great captain and prince of the Jews.\n43 In those days Simon besieged Gaza, and camped round about it, and he made engines, and set them to the city, and he struck one tower, and took it.\n44 And they that were within the engine leaped into the city: and there was a great uproar in the city.\n45 And they that were in the city went up with their wives and children upon the wall, with their garments rent, and they cried with a loud voice, beseeching Simon to grant them peace.\n46 And they said: Deal not with us according to our evil deeds, but according to thy mercy.\n47 And Simon being moved, did not destroy them: but yet he cast them out of the city, and cleansed the houses wherein there had been idols, and then he entered into it with hymns, blessing the Lord.\n48 And having cast out of it all uncleanness, he placed in it men that should observe the law: and he fortified it, and made it his habitation.\n49 But they that were in the castle of Jerusalem were hindered from going out and coming into the country, and from buying and selling: and they were straitened with hunger, and many of them perished through famine.\n50 And they cried to Simon for peace, and he granted it to them: and he cast them out from thence, and cleansed the castle from uncleannesses.\n**51 And they entered into it the three and twentieth day of the second month, in the year one hundred and seventy-one, with thanksgiving, and branches of palm trees, and harps, and cymbals, and psalteries, and hymns, and canticles, because the great enemy was destroyed out of Israel.**\n52 And he ordained that these days should be kept every year with gladness.\n53 And he fortified the mountain of the temple that was near the castle, and he dwelt there himself, and they that were with him.\n54 And Simon saw that John his son was a valiant man for war: and he made him captain of all the forces: and he dwelt in Gazara.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book, chapter, and verse is \"And Saul commanded all the people to go down to fight against Ceila, and to besiege David, and his men.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The passage \"And Saul commanded all the people to go down to fight against Ceila, and to besiege David, and his men.\" comes from 1 Samuel 23:8 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Do you know the book and chapter where \"But the high places he took not away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places: he built the highest gate of the house of the Lord.\" is found?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "That one's from *2 Kings*, chapter *15*.\n\nHere's the chapter it's part of:\n*2 Kings Chapter 15*\n1 In the seven and twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Azarias son of Amasias, king of Juda.\n2 He was sixteen years old, when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jechelia of Jerusalem.\n3 And he did that which was pleasing before the Lord, according to all that his father Amasias had done.\n4 But the high places he did not destroy: for the people sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.\n5 And the Lord struck the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in a free house apart: but Joatham the king's soil governed the palace, and judged the people of the land.\n6 And the rest of the acts of Azarias, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?\n7 And Azarias slept with his fathers: and they buried him with his ancestors in the city of David, and Joatham his son reigned in his stead.\n8 In the eight and thirtieth year of Azarias king of Juda, reigned Zacharias son of Jeroboam over Israel in Samaria six months:\n9 And he did that which is evil before the Lord, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat who made Israel to sin.\n10 And Sellum the son of Jabes conspired against him: and struck him publicly and killed him, and reigned in his place.\n11 Now the rest of the acts of Zacharias, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?\n12 This was the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Jehu, saying: Thy children to the fourth generation shall sit upon the throne of Israel.

and they were all dispersed through the countries of Judea, and Samaria, except the apostles.\n2 And devout men took order for Stephen's funeral, and made great mourning over him.\n3 But Saul made havock of the church, entering in from house to house, and dragging away men and women, committed them to prison.\n4 They therefore that were dispersed, went about preaching the word of God.\n5 And Philip going down to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them.\n6 And the people with one accord were attentive to those things which were said by Philip, hearing, and seeing the miracles which he did.\n7 For many of them who had unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out.\n8 And many, taken with the palsy, and that were lame, were healed.\n9 There was therefore great joy in that city. Now there was a certain man named Simon, who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one:\n10 To whom they all gave ear, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the power of God, which is called great.\n11 And they were attentive to him, because, for a long time, he had bewitched them with his magical practices.\n12 But when they had believed Philip preaching of the kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.\n13 Then Simon himself believed also; and being baptized, he adhered to Philip. And being astonished, wondered to see the signs and exceeding great miracles which were done.\n14 Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John.\n15 Who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost.\n16 For he was not as yet come upon any of them; but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.\n17 Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost.\n18 And when Simon saw, that by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,\n19 Saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I shall lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said to him:\n20 Keep thy money to thyself, to perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.\n21 Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter. For thy heart is not right in the sight of God.\n22 Do penance therefore for this thy wickedness; and pray to God, that perhaps this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.\n23 For I see thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bonds of iniquity.\n24 Then Simon answering, said: Pray you for me to the Lord, that none of these things which you have spoken may come upon me.\n25 And they indeed having testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many countries of the Samaritans.\n26 Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem into Gaza: this is desert.\n27 And rising up, he went. And behold a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch, of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge over all her treasures, had come to Jerusalem to adore.\n**28 And he was returning, sitting in his chariot, and reading Isaias the prophet.**\n29 And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.\n30 And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest?\n31 Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.\n32 And the place of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb without voice before his shearer, so openeth he not his mouth.\n33 In humility his judgment was taken away. His generation who shall declare, for his life shall be taken from the earth?\n34 And the eunuch answering Philip, said: I beseech thee, of whom doth the prophet speak this? of himself, or of some other man?\n35 Then Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus.\n36 And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water: what doth hinder me from being baptized?\n37 And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.\n38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch: and he baptized him.\n39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more.

And the disciples rebuked them that brought them.\n14 Whom when Jesus saw, he was much displeased, and saith to them: Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.\n15 Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter into it.\n16 And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.\n17 And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man running up and kneeling before him, asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting?\n18 And Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? None is good but one, that is God.\n19 Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, bear not false witness, do no fraud, honour thy father and mother.\n20 But he answering, said to him: Master, all these things I have observed from my youth.\n21 And Jesus looking on him, loved him, and said to him: One thing is wanting unto thee: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.\n22 Who being struck sad at that saying, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.\n23 And Jesus looking round about, saith to his disciples: How hardly shall they that have riches, enter into the kingdom of God!\n24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus again answering, saith to them: Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches, to enter into the kingdom of God?\n25 It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.\n26 Who wondered the more, saying among themselves: Who then can be saved?\n27 And Jesus looking on them, saith: With men it is impossible; but not with God: for all things are possible with God.\n28 And Peter began to say unto him: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee.\n29 Jesus answering, said: Amen I say to you, there is no man who hath left house or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my sake and for the gospel,\n30 Who shall not receive an hundred times as much, now in this time; houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions: and in the world to come life everlasting.\n31 But many that are first, shall be last: and the last, first.\n32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem: and Jesus went before them, and they were astonished; and following were afraid.

Can you drink of the chalice that I drink of: or be baptized with the baptism wherewith I am baptized?\n39 But they said to him: We can.

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:\n**7 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.\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

men and sent them to Rome, to confirm and to renew the amity with them:\n2 And he sent letters to the Spartans, and to other places according to the same form.\n3 And they went to Rome, and entered into the senate house, and said: Jonathan the high priest, and the nation of the Jews have sent us to renew the amity, and alliance as it was before.\n4 And they gave them letters to their governors in every place, to conduct them into the land of Juda with peace.\n5 And this is a copy of the letters which Jonathan wrote to the Spartans:\n6 Jonathan the high priest, and the ancients of the nation, and the priests, and the rest of the people of the Jews, to the Spartans, their brethren, greeting.\n7 There were letters sent long ago to Onias the high priest from Arius who reigned then among you, to signify that you are our brethren, as the copy here underwritten doth specify.\n8 And Onias received the ambassador with honour: and received the letters wherein there was mention made of the alliance, and amity.\n9 We, though we needed none of these things, having for our comfort the holy books that are in our hands,\n10 Chose rather to send to you to renew the brotherhood and friendship, lest we should become strangers to you altogether: for there is a long time passed since you sent to us.\n11 We therefore at all times without ceasing, both in our festivals, and other days, wherein it is convenient, remember you in the sacrifices that we offer, and in our observances, as it is meet, and becoming to remember brethren.\n12 And we rejoice at your glory.\n13 But we have had many troubles and wars on every side, and the kings that are round about us, have fought against us.\n**14 But we would not be troublesome to you, nor the rest of our allies and friends in these wars.**\n15 For we have had help from heaven, and we have been delivered, and our enemies are humbled.\n16 We have chosen therefore Numenius the son of Antiochus, and Antipater the son of Jason, and have sent them to the Romans to renew with them the former amity and alliance.\n17 And we have commanded them to go also to you, and to salute you, and to deliver you our letters, concerning the renewing of our brotherhood.\n18 And now you shall do well to give us an answer hereto.\n19 And this is the copy of the letter which he had sent to Onias:\n20 Arius king of the Spartans to Onias the high priest, greeting.\n21 It is found in writing concerning the Spartans, and the Jews, that they are brethren, and that they are of the stock of Abraham.\n22 And now since this is come to our knowledge, you do well to write to us of your prosperity.\n23 And we also have written back to you: That our cattle, and our possessions are yours: and yours, ours. We therefore have commanded that these things should be told you.\n24 Now Jonathan heard that the generals of Demetrius were come again with a greater army than before to fight against him.\n25 So he went out from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Amath: for he gave them no time to enter into his country.\n26 And he sent spies into their camp, and they came back and brought him word that they designed to come upon them in the night.\n27 And when the sun was set, Jonathan commanded his men to watch, and to be in arms all night long ready to fight, and he set sentinels round about the camp.\n28 And the enemies heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle, and they were struck with fear, and dread in their heart: and they kindled fires in their camp.\n29 But Jonathan and they that were with him knew it not till the morning: for they saw the lights burning.\n30 And Jonathan pursued after them, but overtook them not: for they had passed the river Eleutherus.\n31 And Jonathan turned upon the Arabians that are called Zabadeans: and he defeated them, and took the spoils of them.\n32 And he went forward, and came to Damascus, and passed through all that country.\n33 Simon also went forth, and came as far as Ascalon, and the neighbouring fortresses, and he turned aside to Joppe, and took possession of it,\n34 (For he heard that they designed to deliver the hold to them that took part with Demetrius,) and he put a garrison there to keep it.\n35 And Jonathan came back, and called together the ancients of the people, and he took a resolution with them to build fortresses in Judea,\n36 And to build up walls in Jerusalem, and raise a mount between the castle and the city, to separate it from the city, that so it might have no communication, and that they might neither buy nor sell.\n37 And they came together to build up the city: for the wall that was upon the brook towards the east was broken down, and he repaired that which is called Caphetetha:\n38 And Simon built Adiada in Sephela, and fortified it, and set up gates and bars.\n39 Now when Tryphon had conceived a design to make himself king of Asia, and to take the crown, and to stretch out his hand against king Antiochus:\n40 Fearing lest Jonathan would not suffer him, but would fight against him: he sought to seize upon him, and to kill him. So he rose up and came to Bethsan.\n41 And Jonathan went out to meet him with forty thousand men chosen for battle, and came to Bethsan.\n42 Now when Tryphon saw that Jonathan came with a great army, he durst not stretch forth his hand against him,\n43 But received him with honour, and commended him to all his friends, and gave him presents: and he commanded his troops to obey him, as himself.\n44 And he said to Jonathan: Why hast thou troubled all the people, whereas we have no war?\n45 Now therefore send them back to their own houses: and choose thee a few men that may be with thee, and come with me to Ptolemais, and I will deliver it to thee, and the rest of the strong holds, and the army, and all that have any charge, and I will return and go away: for this is the cause of my coming.\n46 And Jonathan believed him, and did as he said: and sent away his army, and they departed into the land of Juda:\n47 But he kept with him three thousand men: of whom he sent two thousand into Galilee, and one thousand went with him.\n48 Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of Ptolemais shut the gates of the city, and took him: and all them that came in with him they slew with the sword.\n49 Then Tryphon sent an army and horsemen into Galilee, and into the great plain to destroy all Jonathan's company.\n50 But they, when they understood that Jonathan and all that were with him were taken and slain, encouraged one another, and went out ready for battle.\n51 Then they that had come after them, seeing that they stood for their lives, returned back.\n52 Whereupon they all came peaceably into the land of Juda. And they bewailed Jonathan, and them that had been with him, exceedingly: and Israel mourned with great lamentation.\n53 Then all the heathens that were round about them, sought to destroy them.

Wherefore he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the contrite of heart,\n19 To preach deliverance to the captives, and sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of reward.\n20 And when he had folded the book, he restored it to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.\n21 And he began to say to them: This day is fulfilled this scripture in your ears.\n22 And all gave testimony to him: and they wondered at the words of grace that proceeded from his mouth, and they said: Is not this the son of Joseph?\n23 And he said to them: Doubtless you will say to me this similitude: Physician, heal thyself: as great things as we have heard done in Capharnaum, do also here in thy own country.\n24 And he said: Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted in his own country.\n25 In truth I say to you, there were many widows in the days of Elias in Israel, when heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there was a great famine throughout all the earth.\n26 And to none of them was Elias sent, but to Sarepta of Sidon, to a widow woman.\n27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet: and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.\n28 And all they in the synagogue, hearing these things, were filled with anger.\n29 And they rose up and thrust him out of the city; and they brought him to the brow of the hill, whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.\n30 But he passing through the midst of them, went his way.\n31 And he went down into Capharnaum, a city of Galilee, and there he taught them on the sabbath days.\n32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his speech was with power.\n33 And in the synagogue there was a man who had an unclean devil, and he cried out with a loud voice,\n34 Saying: Let us alone, what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us?

And when the devil had thrown him into the midst, he went out of him, and hurt him not at all.\n36 And there came fear upon all, and they talked among themselves, saying: What word is this, for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they go out?\n**37 And the fame of him was published into every place of the country.**\n38 And Jesus rising up out of the synagogue, went into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever, and they besought him for her.\n39 And standing over her, he commanded the fever, and it left her. And immediately rising, she ministered to them.\n40 And when the sun was down, all they that had any sick with divers diseases, brought them to him. But he laying his hands on every one of them, healed them.\n41 And devils went out from many, crying out and saying: Thou art the Son of God.

But they would not hearken to the proposition of their brethren the children of Israel:\n14 But out of all the cities which were of their lot, they gathered themselves together into Gabaa, to aid them, and to fight against the whole people of Israel.\n15 And there were found of Benjamin five and twenty thousand men that drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa,\n**16 Who were seven hundred most valiant men, fighting with the left hand as well as with the right: and slinging stones so sure that they could hit even a hair, and not miss by the stone's going on either side.**\n17 Of the men of Israel also, beside the children of Benjamin, were found four hundred thousand that drew swords, and were prepared to fight.\n18 And they arose and came to the house of God, that is, to Silo: and they consulted God, and said: Who shall be in our army the first to go to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the Lord answered them: Let Juda be your leader.\n19 And forthwith the children of Israel rising in the morning, camped by Gabaa:\n20 And going out from thence to fight against Benjamin, began to assault the city.\n21 And the children of Benjamin coming out of Gabaa, slew of the children of Israel that day two and twenty thousand men.\n22 Again Israel trusting in their strength and their number, set their army in array in the same place, where they had fought before:\n23 Yet so that they first went up and wept before the Lord until night: and consulted him, and said: Shall I go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin my brethren, or not? And he answered them: Go up against them, and join battle.\n24 And when the children of Israel went out the next day to fight against the children of Benjamin,\n25 The children of Benjamin sallied forth out of the gates of Gabaa: and meeting them made so great a slaughter of them, as to kill eighteen thousand men that drew the sword.\n26 Wherefore all the children of Israel came to the house of God, and sat and wept before the Lord: and they fasted that day till the evening, and offered to him holocausts, and victims of peace offerings,\n27 And inquired of him concerning their state. At that time the ark of the covenant of the Lord was there,\n28 And Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron was over the house. So they consulted the Lord and said: Shall we go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin our brethren, or shall we cease? And the Lord said to them: Go up, for to morrow I will deliver them into your hands.\n29 And the children of Israel set ambushes round about the city of Gabaa:\n30 And they drew up their army against Benjamin the third time, as they had done the first and second.\n31 And the children of Benjamin boldly issued out of the city, and seeing their enemies flee, pursued them a long way, so as to wound and kill some of them, as they had done the first and second day, whilst they fled by two highways, whereof one goeth up to Bethel, and the other to Gabaa, and they slew about thirty men:\n32 For they thought to cut them off, as they did before. But they artfully feigning a flight, designed to draw them away from the city, and by their seeming to flee to bring them to the highways aforesaid.\n33 Then all the children of Israel rising up out of the places where they were, set their army in battle array, in the place which is called Baalthamar. The ambushes also which were about the city, began by little and little to come forth,\n34 And to march from the west side of the city. And other ten thousand men chosen out of all Israel attacked the inhabitants of the city. And the battle grew hot against the children of Benjamin: and they understood not that present death threatened them on every side.\n35 And the Lord defeated them before the children of Israel, and they slew of them in that day five and twenty thousand, and one hundred, all fighting men and that drew the sword.\n36 But the children of Benjamin when they saw themselves to be too weak, began to flee. Which the children of Israel seeing, gave them place to flee, that they might come to the ambushes that were prepared, which they had set near the city.\n37 And they that were in ambush arose on a sudden out of their coverts, and whilst Benjamin turned their backs to the slayers, went into the city, and smote it with the edge of the sword.\n38 Now the children of Israel had given a sign to them, whom they had laid in ambushes, that after they had taken the city, they should make a fire: that by the smoke rising on high, they might shew that the city was taken.\n39 And when the children of Israel saw this in the battle (for the children of Benjamin thought they fled and pursued them vigorously, killing thirty men of their army)\n40 And perceived as it were a pillar of smoke rise up from the city; and Benjamin looking back, saw that the city was taken, and that the flames ascended on high:\n41 They that before had made as if they fled, turning their faces stood bravely against them; which the children of Benjamin seeing, turned their backs,\n42 And began to go towards the way of the desert, the enemy pursuing them thither also. And they that fired the city came also out to meet them.\n43 And so it was, that they were slain on both sides by the enemies, and there was no rest of their men dying.

And Mary died there, and was buried in the same place.\n2 And the people wanting water, came together against Moses and Aaron:\n3 And making a sedition, they said: Would God we had perished among our brethren before the Lord.\n4 Why have you brought out the church of the Lord into the wilderness, that both we and our cattle should die?\n5 Why have you made us come up out of Egypt, and have brought us into this wretched place which cannot be sowed, nor bringeth forth figs, nor vines, nor pomegranates, neither is there any water to drink?\n6 And Moses and Aaron leaving the multitude, went into the tabernacle of the covenant, and fell flat upon the ground, and cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord God, hear the cry of this people, and open to them thy treasure, a fountain of living water, that being satisfied, they may cease to murmur. And the glory of the Lord appeared over them.\n7 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:\n8 Take the rod, and assemble the people together, thou and Aaron thy brother, and speak to the rock before them, and it shall yield waters. And when thou hast brought forth water out of the rock, all the multitude and their cattle shall drink.\n9 Moses therefore took the rod, which was before the Lord, as he had commanded him,\n10 And having gathered together the multitude before the rock, he said to them: Hear, ye rebellious and incredulous: Can we bring you forth water out of this rock?\n11 And when Moses had lifted up his hand, and struck the rock twice with the rod, there came forth water in great abundance, so that the people and their cattle drank,\n12 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: Because you have not believed me, to sanctify me before the children of Israel, you shall not bring these people into the land, which I will give them.\n13 This is the Water of contradiction, where the children of Israel strove with words against the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.\n14 In the mean time Moses sent messengers from Cades to the king of Edom, to say: Thus saith thy brother Israel: Thou knowest all the labour that hath come upon us:\n15 In what manner our fathers went down into Egypt, and there we dwelt a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted us and our fathers.\n16 And how we cried to the Lord, and he heard us, and sent an angel, who hath brought us out of Egypt.

We will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards, we will not drink the waters of thy wells, but we will go by the common highway, neither turning aside to the right hand, nor to the left, till we are past thy borders.\n18 And Edom answered them: Thou shalt not pass by me: if thou dost I will come out armed against thee.\n19 And the children of Israel said: We will go by the beaten way: and if we and our cattle drink of thy waters, we will give thee what is just: there shall be no difficulty in the price, only let us pass speedily.\n20 But he answered: Thou shalt not pass.

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.\n**23 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.

Here it is:\n*1 Samuel Chapter 9*\n1 Now there was a man of Benjamin whose name was Cis, the son of Abiel, the son of Seror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphia, the son of a man of Jemini, valiant and strong.\n2 And he had a son whose name was Saul, a choice and goodly man, and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he appeared above all the people.\n3 And the asses of Cis, Sauls father, were lost: and Cis said to his son Saul: Take one of the servants with thee, and arise, go, and seek the asses. And when they had passed through mount Ephraim,\n4 And through the land of Salisa, and had not found them, they passed also through the land of Salim, and they were not there: and through the land of Jemini, and found them not.\n5 And when they were come to the land of Suph, Saul said to the servant that was with him: Come, let us return, lest perhaps my father forget the asses, and be concerned for us.\n6 And he said to him: Behold there is a man of God in this city, a famous man: all that he saith, cometh certainly to pass. Now therefore let us go thither, perhaps he may tell us of our way, for which we are come.\n7 And Saul said to his servant: Behold we will go: but what shall we carry to the man of God? the bread is spent in our bags: and we have no present to make to the man of God, nor any thing at all.\n8 The servant answered Saul again, and said: Behold there is found in my hand the fourth part of a sicle of silver, let us give it to the man of God, that he may tell us our way.\n9 Now in time past, in Israel when a man went to consult God he spoke thus: Come, let us go to the seer. For he that is now called a prophet, in time past was called a seer.\n10 And Saul said to his servant: Thy word is very good, come, let us go. And they went into the city, where the man of God was.\n11 And when they went up the ascent to the city, they found maids coming out to draw water, and they said to them: Is the seer here?\n12 They answered and said to them: He is: behold he is before you, make haste now: for he came to day into the city, for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place.\n13 As soon as you come into the city, you shall immediately find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat till he come: because he blesseth the victim, and afterwards they eat that are invited. Now therefore go up, for to day you shall find him.\n14 And they went up into the city. And when they were walking in the midst of the city, behold Samuel was coming out over against them, to go up to the high place.\n**15 Now the Lord had revealed to the ear of Samuel the day before Saul came, saying:**\n16 To morrow about this same hour I will send thee a man of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be ruler over my people Israel: and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked down upon my people, because their cry is come to me.\n17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him: Behold the man, of whom I spoke to thee, this man shall reign over my people.\n18 And Saul came to Samuel in the midst of the gate and said: Tell me, I pray thee, where is the house of the seer?\n19 And Samuel answered Saul, saying: I am the seer, go up before me to the high place, that you may eat with me to day, and I will let thee go in the morning: and tell thee all that is in thy heart.\n20 And as for the asses, which were lost three days ago, be not solicitous, because they are found. And for whom shall be all the best things of Israel? Shall they not be for thee and for all thy father's house?\n21 And Saul answering, said: Am not I a son of Jemini of the least tribe of Israel, and my kindred the last among all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then hast thou spoken this word to me?\n22 Then Samuel taking Saul and his servant, brought them into the parlour, and gave them a place at the head of them that were invited. For there were about thirty men.\n23 And Samuel said to the cook: Bring the portion, which I gave thee, and commanded thee to set it apart by thee.\n24 And the cook took up the shoulder, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said: Behold what is left, set it before thee, and eat: because it was kept of purpose for thee, when I invited the people. And Saul ate with Samuel that day.\n25 And they went down from the high place into the town, and he spoke with Saul upon the top of the house: and he prepared a bed for Saul on the top of the house, and he slept.\n26 And when they were risen in the morning, and it began now to be light, Samuel called Saul on the top of the house, saying: Arise, that I may let thee go. And Saul arose: and they went out both of them, to wit, he and Samuel.\n27 And as they were going down in the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul: Speak to the servant to go before us, and pass on: but stand thou still a while, that I may tell thee the word of the Lord.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Recite 2 Maccabees 9:6", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Quoting from 2 Maccabees 9:6, Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"And indeed very justly, seeing he had tormented the bowels of others with many and new torments, albeit he by no means ceased from his malice.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Deuteronomy 26:12", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From Deuteronomy chapter 26, verse 12, Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"When thou hast made an end of tithing all thy fruits, in the third year of tithes thou shalt give it to the Levite, and to the stranger, and to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled:\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book should I look at for \"If thou meet thy enemy's ox or ass going astray, bring it back to him.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "That verse comes from *Exodus*, chapter *23*.\n\nCheck out the whole chapter:\n*Exodus Chapter 23*\n1 Thou shalt not receive the voice of a lie: neither shalt thou join thy hand to bear false witness for a wicked person.\n2 Thou shalt not follow the multitude to do evil: neither shalt thou yield in judgment, to the opinion of the most part, to stray from the truth.\n3 Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in judgment.\n**4 If thou meet thy enemy's ox or ass going astray, bring it back to him.**\n5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lie underneath his burden, thou shalt not pass by, but shalt lift him up with him.\n6 Thou shalt not go aside in the poor man's judgment.\n7 Thou shalt fly lying.

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.\n**25 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.\n32 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 when Arioch had told the matter to Daniel,\n16 Daniel went in and desired of the king, that he would give him time to resolve the question and declare it to the king.\n17 And he went into his house, and told the matter to Ananias, and Misael, and Azarias his companions:\n18 To the end that they should ask mercy at the face of the God of heaven concerning this secret, and that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.\n19 Then was the mystery revealed to Daniel by a vision in the night: and Daniel blessed the God of heaven,\n20 And speaking he said: Blessed be the name of the Lord from eternity and for evermore: for wisdom and fortitude are his.\n21 And he changeth times and ages: taketh away kingdoms and establisheth them, giveth wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them that have understanding.\n22 He revealeth deep and hidden things, and knoweth what is in darkness: and light is with him.\n23 To thee, O God of our fathers, I give thanks, and I praise thee: because thou hast given me wisdom and strength: and now thou hast shewn me what we desired of thee, for thou hast made known to us, the king's discourse.\n24 After this Daniel went in to Arioch, to whom the king had given orders to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and he spoke thus to him: Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will tell the solution to the king.\n25 Then Arioch in haste brought in Daniel to the king, and said to him: I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Juda, that will resolve the question to the king.\n26 The king answered, and said to Daniel, whose name was Baltassar: Thinkest thou indeed that thou canst tell me the dream that I saw, and the interpretation thereof?\n27 And Daniel made answer before the king, and said: The secret that the king desireth to know, none of the wise men, or the philosophers, or the diviners, or the soothsayers can declare to the king.\n28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth mysteries, who hath shewn to thee, O king Nabuchodonosor, what is to come to pass in the latter times. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these:\n29 Thou, O king, didst begin to think in thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth mysteries shewed thee what shall come to pass.\n30 To me also this secret is revealed, not by any wisdom that I have more than all men alive: but that the interpretation might be made manifest to the king, and thou mightest know the thoughts of thy mind.\n31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold there was as it were a great statue: this statue, which was great and high, tall of stature, stood before thee, and the look thereof was terrible.\n32 The head of this statue was of fine gold, but the breast and the arms of silver, and the belly and the thighs of brass:\n33 And the legs of iron, the feet part of iron and part of clay.\n34 Thus thou sawest, till a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands: and it struck the statue upon the feet thereof that were of iron and of clay, and broke them in pieces.\n35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of a summer's thrashingfloor, and they were carried away by the wind: and there was no place found for them: but the stone that struck the statue, became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.\n36 This is the dream: we will also tell the interpretation thereof before thee, O king.\n37 Thou art a king of kings: and the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, and strength, and power, and glory:\n38 And all places wherein the children of men, and the beasts of the field do dwell: he hath also given the birds of the air into thy hand, and hath put all things under thy power: thou therefore art the head of gold.\n39 And after thee shall rise up another kingdom, inferior to thee, of silver: and another third kingdom of brass, which shall rule over all the world.\n40 And the fourth kingdom shall be as iron. As iron breaketh into pieces, and subdueth all things, so shall that break and destroy all these.\n41 And whereas thou sawest the feet, and the toes, part of potter's clay, and part of iron: the kingdom shall be divided, but yet it shall take its origin from the iron, according as thou sawest the iron mixed with the miry clay.\n42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.\n43 And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall be mingled indeed together with the seed of man, but they shall not stick fast one to another, as iron cannot be mixed with clay.\n44 But in the days of those kingdoms the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, and his kingdom shall not be delivered up to another people, and it shall break in pieces, and shall consume all these kingdoms, and itself shall stand for ever.\n45 According as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and broke in pieces, the clay, and the iron, and the brass, and the silver, and the gold, the great God hath shewn the king what shall come to pass hereafter, and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof is faithful.\n46 Then king Nabuchodonosor fell on his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer in sacrifice to him victims and incense.\n47 And the king spoke to Daniel, and said: Verily your God is the God of gods, and Lord of kings, and a revealer of hidden things: seeing thou couldst discover this secret.\n48 Then the king advanced Daniel to a high station, and gave him many and great gifts: and he made him governor over all the provinces of Babylon, and chief of the magistrates over all the wise men of Babylon.\n49 And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago over the works of the province of Babylon: but Daniel himself was in the king's palace.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Could you quote Ephesians 5:15 for me?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the New Testament, Ephesians chapter 5, verse 15 (Douay Rheims) says:\n\"See therefore, brethren, how you walk circumspectly: not as unwise,\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Recite Hosea 14:10", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Old Testament, Hosea chapter 14, verse 10 (Douay Rheims) says:\n\"Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know these things? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall in them.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book, chapter, and verse is \"And they shall pass by it, they shall fall, and be hungry: and when they shall be hungry, they will be angry, and curse their king, and their God, and look upwards.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The passage \"And they shall pass by it, they shall fall, and be hungry: and when they shall be hungry, they will be angry, and curse their king, and their God, and look upwards.\" comes from Isaiah 8:21 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where exactly in the Bible is \"In vain have I struck your children, they have not received correction: your sword hath devoured your prophets, your generation is like a ravaging lion.\" written?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The passage \"In vain have I struck your children, they have not received correction: your sword hath devoured your prophets, your generation is like a ravaging lion.\" comes from Jeremiah 2:30 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you tell me the book, chapter, and verse for \"Now shalt thou be laid waste, O daughter of the robber: they have laid siege against us, with a rod shall they strike the cheek of the judge of Israel.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"Now shalt thou be laid waste, O daughter of the robber: they have laid siege against us, with a rod shall they strike the cheek of the judge of Israel.\" appears in Micah, chapter 5, at verse 1 of the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Read me Numbers 24:13", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**The Old Testament**\n*Numbers 24:13 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the Lord my God, to utter any thing of my own head either good or evil: but whatsoever the Lord shall say, that I will speak?\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "In what book, at what chapter and verse, does \"I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me.

And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him from the rock Etam.\n14 Now when he was come to the place of the Jawbone, and the Philistines shouting went to meet him, the spirit of the Lord came strongly upon him: and as the flax is wont to be consumed at the approach of fire, so the bands with which he was bound were broken and loosed.\n**15 And finding a jawbone, even the jawbone of an ass which lay there, catching it up, be slew therewith a thousand men.**\n16 And he said: With the jawbone of an ass, with the jaw of the colt of asses I have destroyed them, and have slain a thousand men.\n17 And when he had ended these words singing, he threw the jawbone out of his hand, and called the name of that place Ramathlechi, which is interpreted the lifting up of the jawbone.\n18 Arid being very thirsty, he cried to the Lord, and said: Thou hast given this very great deliverance and victory into the hand of thy servant: and behold I die for thirst, and shall fall into the hands of the uncircumcised.\n19 Then the Lord opened a great tooth in the jaw of the ass, and waters issued out of it. And when he had drank them he refreshed his spirit, and recovered his strength.

But he told not this to his father.\n2 And Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gabaa under the pomegranate tree, which was in Magron: and the people with him were about six hundred men.\n3 And Achias the son of Achitob brother to Ichabod the son of Phinees, the son of Heli the priest of the Lord in Silo, wore the ephod. And the people knew not whither Jonathan was gone.\n4 Now there were between the ascents, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines, rocks standing up on both sides, and steep cliffs like teeth on the one side, and on the other, the name of the one was Boses, and the name of the other was Sene:\n5 One rock stood out towards the north over against Machmas, and the other to the south over against Gabaa.\n6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised, it may be the Lord will do for us, because it is easy for the Lord to save either by many, or by few.\n7 And his armourbearer said to him: Do all that pleaseth thy mind: go whither thou wilt, and I will be with thee wheresoever thou hast a mind.\n8 And Jonathan said: Behold we will go over to these men. And when we shall be seen by them,\n9 If they shall speak thus to us: Stay till we come to you: let us stand still in our place, and not go up to them.\n10 But if they shall say: Come up to us: let us go up, because the Lord hath delivered them into our hands, this shall be a sign unto us.\n11 So both of them discovered themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said: Behold the Hebrews come forth out of the holes wherein they were hid.\n12 And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan, and to his armourbearer, and said: Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armourbearer: Let us go up, follow me: for the Lord hath delivered them into the hands of Israel.\n13 And Jonathan went up creeping on his hands and feet, and his armourbearer after him. And some fell before Jonathan, others his armourbearer slew as he followed him.\n14 And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was of about twenty men, within half an acre of land, which a yoke of oxen is wont to plough in a day.\n15 And there was a miracle in the camp, through the fields: yea and all the people of their garrison, who had gone out to plunder, were amazed, and the earth trembled: and it happened as a miracle from God.\n16 And the watchmen of Saul, who were in Gabaa of Benjamin looked, and behold a multitude overthrown, and fleeing this way and that.\n**17 And Saul said to the people that were with him: Look, and see who is gone from us. And when they had sought, it was found that Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.**\n18 And Saul said to Achias: Bring the ark of the Lord. (For the ark of God was there that day with the children of Israel.)\n19 And while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great uproar in the camp of the Philistines: and it increased by degrees, and was heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest: Draw in thy hand.\n20 Then Saul and all the people that were with him, shouted together, and they came to the place of the fight: and behold every man's sword was turned upon his neighbour, and there was a very great slaughter.\n21 Moreover the Hebrews that had been with the Philistines yesterday and the day before, and went up with them into the camp, returned to be with the Israelites, who were with Saul and Jonathan.\n22 And all the Israelites that had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines fled, joined themselves with their countrymen in the fight. And there were with Saul about ten thousand men.\n23 And the Lord saved Israel that day. And the fight went on as far as Bethaven.\n24 And the men of Israel were joined together that day; and Saul adjured the people, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat food till evening, till I be revenged of my enemies. So none of the people tasted any food:\n25 And all the common people came into a forest, in which there was honey upon the ground.\n26 And when the people came into the forest, behold the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth. For the people feared the oath.\n27 But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people: and he put forth the end of the rod, which he had in his hand, and dipt it in a honeycomb: and he carried his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.\n28 And one of the people answering, said: Thy father hath bound the people with an oath, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat any food this day. (And the people were faint.)\n29 And Jonathan said: My father hath troubled the land: you have seen yourselves that my eyes are enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey:\n30 How much more if the people had eaten of the prey of their enemies, which they found? had there not been made a greater slaughter among the Philistines?\n31 So they smote that day the Philistines from Machmas to Ailon. And the people were wearied exceedingly.\n32 And falling upon the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people ate them with the blood.\n33 And they told Saul that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood. And he said: You have transgressed: roll here to me now a great stone.\n34 And Saul said: Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring me every man his ox and his ram, and slay them upon this stone, and eat, and you shall not sin against the Lord in eating with the blood. So all the people brought every man his ox with him till the night: and slew them there.\n35 And Saul built an altar to the Lord and he then first began to build an altar to the Lord.\n36 And Saul said: Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and destroy them till the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And the people said: Do all that seemeth good in thy eyes. And the priest said: Let us draw near hither unto God.\n37 And Saul consulted the Lord: Shall I pursue after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not that day.\n38 And Saul said: Bring hither all the corners of the people: and know, and see by whom this sin hath happened to day.\n39 As the Lord liveth who is the saviour of Israel, if it was done by Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. In this none of the people gainsaid him.\n40 And he said to all Israel: Be you on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people answered Saul: Do what seemeth good in thy eyes.\n41 And Saul said to the Lord: O Lord God of Israel, give a sign, by which we may know, what the meaning is, that thou answerest not thy servant to day. If this iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, give a proof: or if this iniquity be in thy people, give holiness. And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped.\n42 And Saul said: Cast lots between me, and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.\n43 And Saul said to Jonathan: Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said: I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod, which was in my hand, and behold I must die.\n44 And Saul said: May God do so and so to me, and add still more: for dying thou shalt die, O Jonathan.\n45 And the people said to Saul: Shall Jonathan then die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? This must not be. As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he should not die.\n46 And Saul went back, and did not pursue after the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own places.\n47 And Saul having his kingdom established over Israel, fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Soba, and the Philistines; and whithersoever he turned himself, he overcame.\n48 And gathering together an army, he defeated Amalec, and delivered Israel from the hand of them that spoiled them.\n49 And the sons of Saul, were Jonathan, and Jessui, and Melchisua: and the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn was Merob, and the name of the younger Michol.\n50 And the name of Saul's wife, was Achinoam the daughter of Achimaas; and the name of the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, the cousin german of Saul.\n51 For Cis was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner, was son of Abiel.\n52 And there was a great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul.

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's the chapter and book tied to \"David therefore sent messengers to the men of Jabes Galaad, and said to them: Blessed be you to the Lord, who have shewn this mercy to your master Saul, and have buried him.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Your verse is located in *2 Samuel*, chapter *2*.\n\nTake a look at the whole chapter:\n*2 Samuel Chapter 2*\n1 And after these things David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up into one of the cities of Juda?

And Julius treating Paul courteously, permitted him to go to his friends, and to take care of himself.\n4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.\n5 And sailing over the sea of Cilicia, and Pamphylia, we came to Lystra, which is in Lycia:\n6 And there the centurion finding a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, removed us into it.\n7 And when for many days we had sailed slowly, and were scarce come over against Gnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed near Crete by Salmone:\n8 And with much ado sailing by it, we came into a certain place, which is called Good-havens, nigh to which was the city of Thalassa.\n9 And when much time was spent, and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them,\n10 Saying to them: Ye men, I see that the voyage beginneth to be with injury and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.\n11 But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship, more than those things which were said by Paul.\n12 And whereas it was not a commodious haven to winter in, the greatest part gave counsel to sail thence, if by any means they might reach Phenice to winter there, which is a haven of Crete, looking towards the southwest and northwest.\n13 And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete.\n14 But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo.\n15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven.\n16 And running under a certain island, that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.\n17 Which being taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they let down the sail yard, and so were driven.\n18 And we being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship.\n19 And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.\n20 And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away.\n21 And after they had fasted a long time, Paul standing forth in the midst of them, said: You should indeed, O ye men, have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and have gained this harm and loss.\n22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer.

attack the king's forces that were in Emmaus.\n4 For as yet the army was dispersed from the camp.\n5 And Gorgias came by night into the camp of Judas, and found no man, and he sought them in the mountains: for he said: These men flee from us.\n6 And when it was day, Judas shewed himself in the plain with three thousand men only, who neither had armour nor swords.\n7 And they saw the camp of the Gentiles that it was strong, and the men in breastplates, and the horsemen round about them, and these were trained up to war.\n8 And Judas said to the men that were with him: Fear ye not their multitude, neither be ye afraid of their assault.\n9 Remember in what manner our fathers were saved in the Red Sea, when Pharao pursued them with a great army.\n10 And now let us cry to heaven: and the Lord will have mercy on us, and will remember the covenant of our fathers, and will destroy this army before our face this day:\n11 And all nations shall know that there is one that redeemeth and

they joined battle: and the Gentiles were routed, and fled into the plain.\n15 But all the hindmost of them fell by the sword, and they pursued them as far as Gezeron, and even to the plains of Idumea, and of Azotus, and of Jamnia: and there fell of them to the number of three thousand men.\n16 And Judas returned again with his army that followed him,\n17 And he said to the people: Be not greedy of the spoils: for there is war before us:\n18 And Gorgias and his army are near us in the mountain: but stand ye now against our enemies, and overthrow them, and you shall take the spoils afterwards with safety.\n19 And as Judas was speaking these words, behold part of them appeared looking forth from the mountain.\n20 And Gorgias saw that his men were put to flight, and that they had

sea, and great riches.\n24 And returning home they sung a hymn, and blessed God in heaven, because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever.\n25 So Israel had a great deliverance that day.\n26 And such of the strangers as escaped, went and told Lysias all that had happened.\n27 And when he heard these things, he was amazed and discouraged: because things had not succeeded in Israel

temple in a convenient place, till there should come a prophet, and give answer concerning them.\n47 Then they took whole stones according to the law, and built a new altar according to the former:\n48 And they built up the holy places, and the things that were within the temple: and they sanctified the temple, and the courts.\n49 And they made new holy vessels, and brought in the

salvation, and of praise.\n57 And they adorned the front of the temple with crowns of gold, and escutcheons, and they renewed the gates, and the chambers, and hanged doors upon them.\n58 And there was exceeding great joy among the people, and the reproach of the Gentiles was turned away.\n59 And Judas, and his brethren, and all the church of Israel decreed, that the day of the dedication of the

She that was free is made a slave.\n12 And behold our sanctuary, and our beauty, and our glory is laid waste, and the Gentiles have defiled them.\n13 To what end then should we live any longer?\n14 And Mathathias and his sons rent their garments, and they covered themselves with haircloth, and made great lamentation.\n15 And they that were sent from king Antiochus came thither, to compel them that were fled into the city of Modin, to sacrifice, and to burn incense, and to depart from the law of God.\n16 And many of the people of Israel consented, and came to them: but Mathathias and his sons stood firm.\n17 And they that were sent from Antiochus, answering, said to Mathathias: Thou art a ruler, and an honourable, and great man in this city, and adorned with sons, and brethren.\n18 Therefore come thou first, and obey the king's commandment, as all nations have done, and the men of Juda, and they that remain in Jerusalem: and thou, and thy sons, shall be in the number of the king's friends, and enriched with gold, and silver, and many presents.\n19 Then Mathathias answered, and said with a loud voice: Although all nations obey king Antiochus, so as to depart every man from the service of the law of his fathers, and consent to his commandments:\n20 I and my sons, and my brethren will obey the law of our fathers.\n21 God be merciful unto us: it is not profitable for us to forsake the law, and the justices of God:\n22 We will not hearken to the words of king Antiochus, neither will we sacrifice, and transgress the commandments of our law, to go another way.\n23 Now as he left off speaking these words, there came a certain Jew in the sight of all to sacrifice to the idols upon the altar in the city of Modin, according to the king's commandment.\n24 And Mathathias saw and was grieved, and his reins trembled, and his wrath was kindled according to the judgment of the law, and running upon him he slew him upon the altar:\n25 Moreover the man whom king Antiochus had sent, who compelled them to sacrifice, he slew at the same time, and pulled down the altar.\n26 And shewed zeal for the law, as Phinees did by Zamri the son of Salomi.\n**27 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":

And he answered him: Into Hebron.\n2 So David went up, and his two wives, Achinoam the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel:\n3 And the men also that were with him, David brought up every man with his household: and they abode in the towns of Hebron.\n4 And the men of Juda came, and anointed David there, to be king over the house of Juda. And it was told David, that the men of Jabes Galaad had buried Saul.\n5 David therefore sent messengers to the men of Jabes Galaad, and said to them: Blessed be you to the Lord, who have shewn this mercy to your master Saul, and have buried him.\n6 And now the Lord surely will render you mercy and truth, and I also will, requite you for this good turn, because you have done this thing.\n7 Let your hands be strengthened, and be ye men of valour: for although your master Saul be dead, yet the house of Juda hath anointed me to be their king.\n8 But Abner the son of Ner, general of Saul's army, took Isboseth the son of Saul, and led him about through the camp?\n9 And made him king over Galaad, and, over Gessuri, and over Jezrahel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.\n10 Isboseth the son of Saul was forty years old when he began to reign over, Israel, and he reigned two years: and only the house of Juda followed David.\n11 And the number of the days that David abode, reigning in Hebron over the house of Juda, was seven years and six months.\n12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Isboseth the son of Saul, went out from the camp to Gabaon.\n13 And Joab the son of Sarvia, and the servants of David went out, and met them by the pool of Gabaon. And when they were come together, they sat down over against one another: the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side.\n14 And Abner said to Joab: Let the young men rise, and play before us. And Joab answered: Let them rise.\n15 Then there arose and went over twelve in number of Benjamin, of the part of Isboseth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.\n16 And every one catching his fellow, by the head, thrust his sword into the side of his adversary, and they fell down together: and the name of the place was called: The field of the valiant, in Gabaon.\n17 And there was a very fierce battle that day: and Abner was put to flight, with the men of Israel, by the servants of David.\n18 And there were the three sons of Sarvia there, Joab, and Abisai, and Asael: now Asael was a most swift runner, like one of the roes that abide in the woods.\n19 And Asael pursued after Abner, and turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.\n20 And Abner looked behind him, and said: Art thou Asael? And he answered: I am.\n21 And Abner said to him: Go to the right hand or to the left, and lay hold on one of the young men and take thee his spoils. But Asael would not leave off following him close.\n22 And again Abner said to Asael: Go off, and do not follow me, lest I be obliged to stab thee to the ground, and I shall not be able to hold up my face to Joab thy brother.\n23 But he refused to hearken to him, and would not turn aside: wherefore Abner struck him with his spear with a back stroke in the groin, and thrust him through, and he died upon the spot: and all that came to the place where Asael fell down and died stood still.\n24 Now while Joab and Abisai pursued after Abner, the sun went down: and they came as far as the hill of the aqueduct, that lieth over against the valley by the way of the wilderness in Gabaon.\n25 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together to Abner: and being joined in one body, they stood on the top of a hill.\n26 And Abner cried out to Joab, and said: Shall thy sword rage unto utter destruction? knowest thou not that it is dangerous to drive people to despair? how long dost thou defer to bid the people cease from pursuing after their brethren?\n27 And Joab said: As the Lord liveth, if thou hadst spoke sooner, even in the morning the people should have retired from pursuing after their brethren.\n28 Then Joab sounded the trumpet, and all the army stood still, and did not pursue after Israel any farther, nor fight any more.\n29 And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plains: and they passed the Jordan, and having gone through all Beth-horon, came to the camp.\n**30 And Joab returning, after he had left Abner, assembled all the people: and there were wanting of David's servants nineteen men, beside Asael.**\n31 But the servants of David had killed of Benjamin, and of the men that were with Abner, three hundred and sixty, who all died.\n32 And they took Asael, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father in Bethlehem, and Joab, and the men that were with him, marched all the night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the reference (book, chapter, verse) for \"And sailing thence, the day following we came over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos; and the day following we came to Miletus.\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The quote \"And sailing thence, the day following we came over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos; and the day following we came to Miletus.\" is from Acts 20:15 in the New Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book is the verse \"The Lord had pity upon this: It shall not be, said the Lord.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you're referencing is from the book *Amos*, chapter *7*.\n\nHere's the full chapter:\n*Amos Chapter 7*\n1 These things the Lord God shewed to me: and behold the locust was formed in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter rain, and lo, it was the latter rain after the king's mowing.\n2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, I said: O Lord God, be merciful, I beseech thee: who shall raise up Jacob, for he is very little?\n**3 The Lord had pity upon this: It shall not be, said the Lord.**\n4 These things the Lord God shewed to me: and behold the Lord called for judgment unto fire, and it devoured the great deep, and ate up a part at the same time.\n5 And I said: O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee, who shall raise up Jacob, for he is a little one?\n6 The Lord had pity upon this.

And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them: Have a good heart, it is I, fear ye not.\n51 And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind ceased: and they were far more astonished within themselves:\n52 For they understood not concerning the loaves; for their heart was blinded.\n53 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Genezareth, and set to the shore.\n54 And when they were gone out of the ship, immediately they knew him:\n55 And running through that whole country, they began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.\n56 And whithersoever he entered, into towns or into villages or cities, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you tell me the book and chapter for \"The children of Pharos, two thousand one hundred seventy-two.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "You're looking at a verse from *Nehemiah*, chapter *7*.\n\nHere's what the chapter says:\n*Nehemiah Chapter 7*\n1 Now after the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and numbered the porters and singing men, and Levites:\n2 I commanded Hanani my brother, and Hananias ruler of the house of Jerusalem, (for he seemed as a sincere man, and one that feared God above the rest,)\n3 And I said to them: Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened till the sun be hot.

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

bold the Jews were, and that they were ready either to live, or to die manfully, he went to Antioch, and chose soldiers, that they might come again into Judea with greater numbers.\n36 Then Judas, and his brethren said: Behold our enemies are discomfited: let us go up now to cleanse the holy places and to repair them.\n37 And all the army assembled together, and they went up into mount Sion.\n38

down.\n46 And they laid up the stones in the mountain of the temple in a convenient place, till there should come a prophet, and give answer concerning them.\n47 Then they took whole stones according

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.\n27 And Nicanor came to Jerusalem with a great army, and he sent to Judas and to his brethren deceitfully with friendly words,\n28 Saying: Let there be no fighting between me and you: I will come with a few men to see your faces with peace.\n**29 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 men: and Judas prayed, and said:\n41 O Lord, when they that were sent by king Sennacherib blasphemed thee, an angel went out, and slew of them a hundred and eighty-five thousand:\n42 Even so destroy this army in our sight to day, and let the rest know that he hath spoken ill against thy sanctuary: and judge thou him according to his wickedness.\n43 And the armies joined battle on the thirteenth day of the month Adar: and the army of Nicanor was defeated, and he himself was first slain in the battle.\n44 And when his army saw that Nicanor was slain, they threw away their weapons, and fled:\n45 And they pursued after them one day's journey from Adazer, even till ye come to Gazara, and they sounded the trumpets after them with signals.\n46 And they went forth out of all the towns of Judea round about, and they pushed them with the horns, and they turned again to them, and they were all slain with the sword, and there was not left of them so much as one.\n47 And they took the spoils of them for a booty, and they cut off Nicanor's head, and his right hand, which he had proudly stretched out, and they brought it, and hung it up over against Jerusalem.\n48 And the people rejoiced exceedingly, and they spent that day with great joy.\n49 And he ordained that this day should be kept every year, being the thirteenth of the month of Adar.\n50 And the land of Juda was quiet for a short time.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where exactly in the Bible is \"For as long as the son of Isai liveth upon earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom.

Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.\n7 The first day shall be most solemn unto you, and holy: you shall do no servile work therein:\n8 But you shall offer sacrifice in fire to the Lord seven days. And the seventh day shall be more solemn, and more holy: and you shall do no servile work therein.\n9 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:\n10 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, and shall reap your corn, you shall bring sheaves of ears, the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest:\n11 Who shall lift up the shed before the Lord, the next day after the sabbath, that it may be acceptable for you, and shall sanctify it.\n12 And on the same day that the sheaf is consecrated, a lamb without blemish of the first year shall be killed for a holocaust of the Lord.\n13 And the libations shall be offered with it, two tenths of flour tempered with oil for a burnt offering of the Lord, and a most sweet odour: libations also of wine, the fourth part of a hin.\n14 You shall not eat either bread, or parched corn, or frumenty of the harvest, until the day that you shall offer thereof to your God. It is a precept for ever throughout your generations, and all your dwellings.\n15 You shall count therefore from the morrow after the sabbath, wherein you offered the sheaf of the firstfruits, seven full weeks.\n16 Even unto the marrow after the seventh week be expired, that is to say, fifty days, and so you shall offer a new sacrifice to the Lord.\n17 Out of all your dwellings, two leaves of the firstfruits, of two tenths of flour leavened, which you shall bake for the firstfruits of the Lord.\n18 And you shall offer with the leaves seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one calf from the herd, and two rams, and they shall be for a holocaust with their libations far a most sweet odour to the Lord.\n19 You shall offer also a buck goat for sin, and two lambs of the first year for sacrifices of peace offerings.\n20 And when the priest hath lifted them up with the leaves of the firstfruits before the Lord, they shall fall to his use.\n21 And you shall call this day most solemn, and most holy.

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.\n**40 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? Whence therefore hath he all these things?\n57 And they were scandalized in his regard.

But these, after suffering want for a short time, tasted a new meat.\n4 For it was requisite that inevitable destruction should come upon them that exercised tyranny: but to these it should only be shewn how their enemies were destroyed.\n5 For when the fierce rage of beasts came upon these, they were destroyed with the bitings of crooked serpents.\n6 But thy wrath endured not for ever, but they were troubled for a short time for their correction, having a sign of salvation to put them in remembrance of the commandment of thy law.\n7 For he that turned to it, was not healed by that which he saw, but by thee the Saviour of all.\n8 And in this thou didst shew to our enemies, that thou art he who deliverest from all evil.\n9 For the bitings of locusts, and of flies killed them, and there was found no remedy for their life: because they were worthy to be destroyed by such things.\n10 But not even the teeth of venomous serpents overcame thy children: for thy mercy came and healed them.\n11 For they were examined for the remembrance of thy words, and were quickly healed, lest falling into deep forgetfulness, they might not be able to use thy help.\n12 For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaster that healed them, but thy word, O Lord, which healeth all things.\n13 For it is thou, O Lord, that hast power of life and death, and leadest down to the gates of death, and bringest back again:\n14 A man indeed killeth through malice, and when the spirit is gone forth, it shall not return, neither shall he call back the soul that is received:\n15 But it is impossible to escape thy hand.\n16 For the wicked that denied to know thee, were scourged by the strength of thy arm, being persecuted by strange waters, and hail, and rain, and consumed by fire.\n17 And which was wonderful, in water, which extinguisheth all things, the fire had more force: for the world fighteth for the just.\n18 For at one time, the fire was mitigated, that the beasts which were sent against the wicked might not be burned, but that they might see and perceive that they were persecuted by the judgment of God.\n19 And at another time the fire, above its own power, burned in the midst of water, to destroy the fruits of a wicked land.\n**20 Instead of which things thou didst feed thy people with the food of angels, and gavest them bread from heaven prepared without labour; having in it all that is delicious, and the sweetness of every taste.**\n21 For thy sustenance shewed thy sweetness to thy children, and serving every man's will, it was turned to what every man liked.\n22 But snow and ice endured the force of fire, and melted not: that they might know that fire burning in the hail and flashing in the rain destroyed the fruits of the enemies.\n23 But this same again, that the just might be nourished, did even forget its own strength.\n24 For the creature serving thee the Creator, is made fierce against the unjust for their punishment; and abateth its strength for the benefit of them that trust in thee.\n25 Therefore even then it was transformed into all things, and was obedient to thy grace that nourisheth all, according to the will of them that desired it of thee.\n26 That thy children, O Lord, whom thou lovedst, might know that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth men, but thy word preserveth them that believe in thee:\n27 For that which could not be destroyed by fire, being warmed with a little sunbeam presently melted away:\n28 That it might be known to all, that we ought to prevent the sun to bless thee, and adore thee at the dawning of the light.\n29 For the hope of the unthankful shall melt away as the winter's ice, and shall run off as unprofitable water.\n", "role": "assistant" } ]

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.\n**19 And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel and her daughters, and Jesana with her daughters, Ephron also and her daughters.**\n20 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": "From which book and what chapter does \"He found out all the way of knowledge, and gave it to Jacob his servant, and to Israel his beloved.\" come?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "That verse comes from *Baruch*, chapter *3*.\n\nCheck out the whole chapter:\n*Baruch Chapter 3*\n1 And now, O Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, the soul in anguish, and the troubled spirit crieth to thee:\n2 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy, for thou art a merciful God, and have pity on us: for we have sinned before thee.\n3 For thou remainest for ever, and shall we perish everlastingly?\n4 O Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, hear now the prayer of the dead of Israel, and of their children, that have sinned before thee, and have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, wherefore evils have cleaved fast to us.\n5 Remember not the iniquities of our fathers, but think upon thy hand, and upon thy name at this time:\n6 For thou art the Lord our God, and we will praise thee, O Lord:\n7 Because for this end thou hast put thy fear in our hearts, to the intent that we should call upon thy name, and praise thee in our captivity, for we are converted from the iniquity of our fathers, who sinned before thee.\n8 And behold we are at this day in our captivity, whereby thou hast scattered us to be a reproach, and a curse, and an offence, according to all the iniquities of our fathers, who departed from thee, O Lord our God.\n9 Hear, O Israel, the commandments of life: give ear, that thou mayst learn wisdom.\n10 How happeneth it, O Israel, that thou art in thy enemies' land?\n11 Thou art grown old in a strange country, thou art defiled with the dead: thou art counted with them that go down into hell.\n12 Thou hast forsaken the fountain of wisdom:\n13 For if thou hadst walked in the way of God, thou hadst surely dwelt in peace for ever.\n14 Learn where is wisdom, where is strength, where is understanding: that thou mayst know also where is length of days and life, where is the light of the eyes, and peace.\n15 Who hath found out her place?

And David said: Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, and he will say: Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved. But truly as the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, there is but one step (as I may say) between me and death.\n4 And Jonathan said to David: Whatsoever thy soul shall say to me, I will do for thee.\n5 And David said to Jonathan: Behold to morrow is the new moon, and I according to custom am wont to sit beside the king to eat: let me go then that I may be hid in the field till the evening of the third day.\n6 If thy father look and inquire for me, thou shalt answer him: David asked me that he might run to Bethlehem his own city: because there are solemn sacrifices there for all his tribe.\n7 If he shall say, It is well: thy servant shall have peace: but if he be angry, know that his malice is come to its height.\n8 Deal mercifully then with thy servant: for thou hast brought me thy servant into a covenant of the Lord with thee. But if there be any iniquity in me, do thou kill me, and bring me not in to thy father.\n9 And Jonathan said: Far be this from thee: for if I should certainly know that evil is determined by my father against thee, I could do no otherwise than tell thee.\n10 And David answered Jonathan: Who shall bring me word, if thy father should answer thee harshly concerning me?\n11 And Jonathan said to David: Come and let us go out into the field. And when they were both of them gone out into the field,\n12 Jonathan said to David: O Lord God of Israel, if I shall discover my father's mind, to morrow or the day after, and there be any thing good for David, and I send not immediately to thee, and make it known to thee,\n13 May the Lord do so and so to Jonathan and add still more. But if my father shall continue in malice against thee, I will discover it to thy ear, and will send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace, and the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father.\n14 And if I live, thou shalt shew me the kindness of the Lord: but if I die,\n15 Thou shalt not take away thy kindness from my house for ever, when the Lord shall have rooted out the enemies of David, every one of them from the earth, may he take away Jonathan from his house, and may the Lord require it at the hands of David's enemies.\n16 Jonathan therefore made a covenant with the house of David: and the Lord required it at the hands of David's enemies.\n17 And Jonathan swore again to David, because he loved him: for he loved him as his own soul.\n18 And Jonathan said to him: To morrow is the new moon, and thou wilt be missed:\n19 For thy seat will be empty till after to morrow. So thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place, where thou must be hid on the day when it is lawful to work, and thou shalt remain beside the stone, which is called Ezel.\n20 And I will shoot three arrows near it, and will shoot as if I were exercising myself at a mark.\n21 And I will send a boy, saying to him: Go and fetch me the arrows.\n22 If I shall say to the boy: Behold the arrows are on this side of thee, take them up: come thou to me, because, there is peace to thee, and there is no evil, as the Lord liveth. But if I shall speak thus to the boy: Behold the arrows are beyond thee: go in peace, for the Lord hath sent thee away.\n23 And concerning the word which I and thou have spoken, the Lord be between thee and me for ever.\n24 So David was hid in the field, and the new moon came, and the king sat down to eat bread.\n25 And when the king sat down upon his chair (according to custom) which was beside the wall, Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place appeared empty.\n**26 And Saul said nothing that day, for he thought it might have happened to him, that he was not clean, nor purified.**\n27 And when the second day after the new moon was come, David's place appeared empty again. And Saul said to Jonathan his son: Why cometh not the son of Isai to meat neither yesterday nor to day?\n28 And Jonathan answered Saul: He asked leave of me earnestly to go to Bethlehem,\n29 And he said: Let me go, for there is a solemn sacrifice in the city, one of my brethren hath sent for me: and now if I have found favour in thy eyes, I will go quickly, and see my brethren. For this cause he came not to the king's table.\n30 Then Saul being angry against Jonathan said to him: Thou son of a woman that is the ravisher of a man, do I not know that thou lovest the son of Isai to thy own confusion and to the confusion of thy shameless mother?\n31 For as long as the son of Isai liveth upon earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Therefore now presently send, and fetch him to me: for he is the son of death.\n32 And Jonathan answering Saul his father, said: Why shall he die: what hath he done?\n33 And Saul caught up a spear to strike him. And Jonathan understood that it was determined by his father to kill David.\n34 So Jonathan rose from the table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second day after the new moon. For he was grieved for David, because his father had put him to confusion.\n35 And when the morning came, Jonathan went into the field, according to the appointment with David, and a little boy with him.\n36 And he said to his boy: Go, and fetch me the arrows which I shoot. And when the boy ran, he shot another arrow beyond the boy.\n37 The boy therefore came to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot: and Jonathan cried after the boy, and said: Behold the arrow is there further beyond thee.\n38 And Jonathan cried again after the boy, saying: Make haste speedily, stand not. And Jonathan's boy gathered up the arrows, and brought them to his master:\n39 And he knew not at all what was doing: for only Jonathan and David knew the matter.\n40 Jonathan therefore gave his arms to the boy, and said to him: Go, and carry them into the city.\n41 And when the boy was gone, David rose out of his place, which was towards the south, and falling on his face to the ground, adored thrice: and kissing one another, they wept together, but David more.\n42 And Jonathan said to David: Go in peace: and let all stand that we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying: The Lord be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever.\n43 And David arose, and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which chapter and book contains \"And his princes willingly offered what they had vowed, both to the people and to the priests and the Levites.

Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickedness cast them out: for they have provoked thee, O Lord.\n12 But let all them be glad that hope in thee: they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them.

In the time of his safety he rose up, and wondereth that there is no fear:\n8 Such things happen to all flesh, from man even to beast, and upon sinners are sevenfold mere.\n9 Moreover, death, and bloodshed, strife, and sword, oppressions, famine, and affliction, and scourges:\n10 All these things are created for the wicked, and for their sakes came the flood.\n11 All things that are of the earth, shall return to the earth again, and all waters shall return to the sea.\n12 All bribery, and injustice shall blotted out, and fidelity shall stand for ever.\n13 The riches of the unjust shall be dried up like a river, and shall pass sway a noise like a great thunder in rain.\n14 While he openeth his hands he shall rejoice: but transgressors shall pine away in the end.\n15 The offspring of the ungodly shall not bring forth many branches, and make a noise as unclean roots upon the top of a rock.\n16 The weed growing over every water, and at the bank of the river, shall be pulled up before all grass.\n17 Grace is like a paradise in blessings, and mercy remaineth for ever.\n18 The life of a labourer that is content with what he hath, shall be sweet, and in it thou shalt find a

magnified him in the fear of his enemies, and with his words he made prodigies to cease.\n3 He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him commandments in the sight of his people, and shewed him his glory.\n4 He sanctified him in his faith, and meekness, and chose him out of all flesh.\n5 For he heard him, and his voice, and brought him into a cloud.\n6 And he gave him commandments before his face, and a law of life and instruction, that he might teach Jacob his covenant, and Israel his judgments.\n7 He exalted Aaron his brother, and like to himself of the tribe of Levi:\n8 He made an everlasting covenant with him, and gave him the priesthood of the nation, and made him blessed in glory,\n9 And he girded him about with a glorious girdle, and clothed him with a robe of glory, and crowned him with majestic attire.\n10 He put upon him a garment to the feet, and breeches, and as ephod, and he compassed him with many little bells of gold all round about,\n11 That as he went there might be a sound, and a noise made that might be heard in the temple, for a memorial to the children of his people.\n12 He gave him a holy robe of gold, and blue, and purple, a woven work of a wise man, endued with judgment and truth:\n13 Of twisted scarlet the work of an artist, with precious stones cut and set in gold, and graven by the work of a lapidary for a memorial, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.\n14 And a crown of gold upon his mitre wherein was engraved Holiness, an ornament of honour: a work of power, and delightful to the eyes for its beauty.\n15 Before him there were none so beautiful, even from the beginning.\n16 No stranger was ever clothed with them, but only his children alone, and his grandchildren for ever.\n17 His sacrifices were consumed with fire every day.\n18 Moses filled his hands and anointed him with holy oil.\n19 This was made to him for an everlasting testament, and to his seed as the days of heaven, to execute the office of the priesthood, and to have praise, and to glorify his people in his name.\n20 He chose him out of all men living, to offer sacrifice to God, incense, and a good savour, for a memorial to make reconciliation for his people:\n21 And he gave him power in his commandments, in the covenants of his judgments, that he should teach Jacob his testimonies, and give light to Israel in his law.\n22 And strangers stood up against him, and through envy the men that were with Dathan and Abiron, compassed him about in the wilderness, and the congregation of Core in their wrath.\n23 The Lord God saw and it pleased him not, and they were consumed in his wrathful indignation.\n24 He wrought wonders upon them, and consumed them with a flame of fire.\n25 And he added glory to Aaron, and gave him an inheritance, and divided unto him the firstfruits of the increase of the earth.\n26 He prepared them bread in the first place unto fulness: for the sacrifices also of the Lord they shall eat, which he gave to him, and to his seed.\n27 But he shall not inherit among the people in the land, and he hath no portion among the people: for he himself is his portion and inheritance.\n28 Phinees the son of Eleazar is the third in glory, by imitating him in the fear of the Lord:\n29 And he stood up in the shameful fall of the people: in the goodness and readiness of his soul he appeased God for Israel.\n30 Therefore he made to him a covenant of peace, to be the prince of the sanctuary, and of his people, that the dignity of priesthood should be to him and to his seed for ever.\n31 And a covenant to David the king, the son of Jesse of the tribe of Juda, an inheritance to him and to his seed, that he might give wisdom into our heart to judge his people in justice, that their good

Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee from the hand of Saul,\n8 And gave thee thy master's house and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and Juda: and if these things be little, I shall add far greater things unto thee.\n9 Why therefore hast thou despised the word of the Lord, to do evil in my sight? Thou hast killed Urias the Hethite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.\n10 Therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house, because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Urias the Hethite to be thy wife.\n11 Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thy own house, and I will take thy wives before thy eyes I and give them to thy neighhour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.\n12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and in the sight of the sun.\n13 And David said to Nathan: I have sinned against the Lord.

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.

According to appointment I will return to thee at this same time, life accompanying, and Sara shall have a son.\n15 Sara denied, saying: I did not laugh: for she was afraid.

And Isboseth said to Abner:\n8 Why didst thou go in to my father's concubine? And he was exceedingly angry for the words of Isboseth, and said: Am I a dog's head against Juda this day, who have shewn mercy to the house of Saul thy father, and to his brethren and friends, and have not delivered thee into the hands of David, and hast thou sought this day against me to charge me with a matter concerning a woman?\n9 So do God to Abner, and more also, unless as the Lord hath sworn to David, so I do to him,\n10 That the kingdom be translated from the house of Saul, and the throne of David be set up over Israel, and over Juda from Dan to Bersabee.\n11 And he could not answer him a word, because he feared him.\n12 Abner therefore sent messengers to David for himself, saying: Whose is the land? and that they should say: Make a league with me, and my hand shall be with thee: and I will bring all Israel to thee.\n13 And he said: Very well: I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, saying: Thou shalt not see my face before thou bring Michol the daughter of Saul: and so thou shalt come, and see me.\n14 And David sent messengers to Isboseth the son of Saul, saying: Restore my wife Michol, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.\n15 And Isboseth sent, and took her from her husband Phaltiel, the son of Lais.\n16 And her husband followed her, weeping as far as Bahurim: and Abner said to him: Go and return. And he returned.\n17 Abner also spoke to the ancients of Israel, saying: Both yesterday and the day before you sought for David that he might reign over you.\n18 Now then do it: because the Lord hath spoken to David, saying: By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel from the hands of the Philistines, and of all their enemies.\n19 And Abner spoke also to Benjamin. And he went to speak to David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to all Benjamin.\n20 And he came to David in Hebron with twenty men: and David made a feast for Abner, and his men that came with him.\n21 And Abner said to David: I will rise, that I may gather all Israel unto thee my lord the king, and may enter into a league with thee, and that thou mayst reign over all as thy soul desireth. Now when David bad brought Abner on his way, and he was gone in peace,\n22 Immediately David's servants and Joab came, after having slain the robbers, with an exceeding great booty: and Abner, was not with David in Hebron, for he had now sent him away, and he was gone in peace.\n23 And Joab and all the army that was with him, came afterwards: and it was told Joab, that Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.\n24 And Joab went in to the king, and said: What hast thou done? Behold Abner came to thee: Why didst thou send him away, and he is gone and departed?\n25 Knowest thou not Abner the son of Ner, that to this end he came to thee, that he might deceive thee, and to know thy going out, and thy coming in, and to know all thou dost?\n**26 Then Joab going out from David, sent messengers after Abner, and brought him back from the cistern of Sira, David knowing nothing of it.**\n27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside to the middle of the gate, to speak to him treacherously: and he stabbed him there in the groin, and he died, in revenge of the blood of Asael his brother.\n28 And when David heard of it, after the thing was now done, he said: I, and my kingdom are innocent before the Lord for ever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner:\n29 And may it come upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father's house: and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue of seed, or that is a leper, or that holdeth the distaff, or that falleth by the sword, or that wanteth bread.\n30 So Joab and Abisai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother Asael at Gabaon in the battle.\n31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him: Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloths, and mourn before the funeral of Abner. And king David himself followed the bier.\n32 And when they had buried Abner in Hebron, king David lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner: and all the people also wept.\n33 And the king mourning and lamenting over Abner, said: Not as cowards are wont to die, hath Abner died.\n34 Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet laden with fetters: but as men fall before the children of iniquity, so didst thou fall. And all the people repeating it wept over him.\n35 And when all the people came to take meat with David, while it was yet broad day, David swore, saying: So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread or any thing else before sunset.\n36 And all the people heard, and they were pleased, and all that the king did seemed good in the sight of all the people.\n37 And all the people, and all Israel understood that day that it was not the king's doing, that Abner the son of Ner was slain.\n38 The king also said to his servants: Do you not know that a prince and great man is slain this day in Israel?\n39 But I as yet am tender, though anointed king.

they deposed from a kingdom: and they were greatly exalted.\n14 And none of all these wore a crown, or was clothed in purple, to be magnified thereby.\n15 And that they made themselves a senate house,

Eleazar, and he sent them to Rome to make a league of amity and confederacy with them.\n18 And that they might take off from them the yoke of the Grecians, for they saw that they oppressed the kingdom

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.\n17 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.

And when he sent them away to their dwellings and had blessed them,\n8 He said to them: With much substance and riches, you return to your settlements, with silver and gold, brass and iron, and variety of raiment: divide the prey of your enemies with your brethren.\n9 So the children of Ruben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses returned, and parted from the children of Israel in Silo, which is in Chanaan, to go into Galaad the land of their possession, which they had obtained according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.\n10 And when they were come to the banks of the Jordan, in the land of Chanaan, they built an altar immensely great near the Jordan.\n11 And when the children of Israel had heard of it, and certain messengers had brought them an account that the children of Ruben, and of Cad, and the half tribe of Manasses had built an altar in the land of Chanaan, upon the banks of the Jordan, over against the children of Israel:\n12 They all assembled in Silo, to go up and fight against them.\n13 And in the mean time they sent to them into the land of Galaad, Phinees the son of Eleazar the priest,\n14 And ten princes with him, one of every tribe.\n15 Who came to the children of Ruben, and of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses, into the land of Galaad, and said to them:\n16 Thus saith all the people of the Lord: What meaneth this transgression?

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. How great things he commanded our fathers, that they should make the same known to their children:\n6 That another generation might know them. 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.\n**16 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.\n33 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

And thou shalt open the door and flee, and shalt not stay there.\n4 So the young man, the servant of the prophet, went awry to Ramoth Galaad,\n5 And went in thither: and behold the captains of the army were sitting: and he said: I have a word to thee, O prince. And Jehu said: Unto whom of us all? And he said: To thee, O prince.\n6 And he arose, and went into the chamber: and he poured the oil upon his head, and said: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: I have anointed thee king over Israel, the people of the Lord.\n7 And thou shalt cut off the house of Achab thy master, and I will revenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord at the hand of Jezabel.\n8 And I will destroy all the house of Achab, and I will cut off from Achab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the meanest in Israel.\n9 And I will make the house of Achab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahias.\n10 And the dogs shall eat Jezabel in the field of Jezrahel, and there shall be no one to bury her. And he opened the door and fled.\n11 Then Jehu went forth to the servants of his lord: and they said to him: Are all things well? why came this mad man to thee? And he said to them: You know the man, and what he said.\n12 But they answered: It is false, but rather do thou tell us. And he said to them: Thus and thus did he speak to me: and he said: Thus saith the Lord: I have anointed thee king over Israel.\n13 Then they made haste and taking every man his garment laid it under his feet, after the manner of a judgment seat, and they sounded the trumpet, and said: Jehu is king.\n14 So Jehu the son of Josaphat the son of Namsi conspired against Joram. Now Joram had besieged Ramoth Galaad, he and all Israel fighting with Hazael king of Syria:\n15 And was returned to be healed in Jezrahel of his wounds, for the Syrians had wounded him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Jehu said: If it please you, let no man go forth or flee out of the city, lest he go, and tell in Jezrahel.\n16 And he got up, and went into Jezrahel: for Joram was sick there, and Ochozias king of Juda was come down to visit Joram.\n17 The watchmen therefore, that stood upon the tower of Jezrahel, saw the troop of Jehu coming, and said: I see a troop. And Joram said: Take a chariot, and send to meet them, and let him that goeth say: Is all well?\n18 So there went one in a chariot to meet him, and said: Thus saith the king: Are all things peaceable? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? go behind and follow me. And the watchman told, saying: The messenger came to them, but he returneth not.\n19 And he sent a second chariot of horses: and he came to them, and said: Thus saith the king: Is there peace? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? pass, and follow me.\n20 And the watchman told, saying: He came even to them, but returneth not: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Namsi, for he drives furiously.\n21 And Joram said: Make ready the chariot. And they made ready his chariot, and Joram king of Israel, and Ochozias king of Juda went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him in the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite.\n22 And when Joram saw Jehu, he said: Is there peace, Jehu? And he answered: What peace? so long as the fornications of Jezabel thy mother, and her many sorceries are in their vigour.\n23 And Joram turned his hand, and fleeing, said to Ochozias: There is treachery, Ochozias.\n24 But Jehu bent Iris bow with his hand, and shot Joram between the shoulders: and the arrow went out through his heart, and immediately he fell in his chariot.\n25 And Jehu said to Badacer his captain: Take him, and cast him into the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite: for I remember when I and thou sitting in a chariot followed Achab this man's father, that the Lord laid this burden upon him, saying:\n26 If I do not requite thee in this field, saith the Lord, for the blood of Naboth, and for the blood of his children, which I saw yesterday, saith the Lord. So now take him, and cast him into the field, according to the word of the Lord.\n27 But Ochozias king of Juda seeing this, fled by the way of the garden house: and Jehu pursued him, and said: Strike him also in his chariot. And they struck him in the going up to Gaver, which is by Jeblaam: and he fled into Mageddo, and died there.\n28 And his servants laid him upon his chariot, and carried him to Jerusalem: and they buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.\n**29 In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Achab, Ochozias reigned over Juda,**\n30 And Jehu came into Jezrahel.

hundred and sixty-nine, we Jews wrote to you, in the trouble, and violence, that came upon us in those years, after Jason withdrew himself from the holy land, and from the kingdom.\n8 They burnt the gate, and shed innocent blood: then we prayed to the Lord, and were heard, and we offered sacrifices, and fine flour, and lighted the lamps, and set forth the loaves.\n9 And now celebrate ye the days of Scenopegia in the month of Casleu.\n10 In the year one hundred and eighty-eight, the people that is at Jerusalem, and in Judea, and the senate, and Judas, to Aristobolus, the preceptor of king Ptolemee, who is of the stock of the anointed priests, and to the Jews that are in Egypt, health and welfare.\n11 Having been delivered by God out of great dangers, we give him great thanks, forasmuch as we have been in war with such a king.\n12 For he made numbers of men swarm out of Persia that have fought against us, and the holy city.\n13 For when the leader himself was in Persia, and with him a very great army, he fell in the temple of Nanea, being deceived by the counsel of the priests of Nanea.\n14 For Antiochus, with his friends, came to the place as though he would marry her, and that he might receive great sums of money under the title of a dowry.\n15 And when the priests of Nanea had set it forth, and he with a small company had entered into the compass of the temple, they shut the temple,\n16 When Antiochus was come in: and opening a secret entrance of the temple, they cast stones and slew the leader, and them that were with him, and hewed them in pieces, and cutting off their heads they threw them forth.\n17 Blessed be God in all things, who hath delivered up the wicked.\n18 Therefore whereas we purpose to keep the purification of the temple on the five and twentieth day of the month of Casleu, we thought it necessary to signify it to you: that you also may keep the day of Scenopegia, and the day of the fire, that was given when Nehemias offered sacrifice, after the temple and the altar was built.\n19 For when our fathers were led into Persia, the priests that then were worshippers of God took privately the fire from the altar, and hid it in a valley where there was a deep pit without water, and there they kept it safe, so that the place was unknown to all men.\n20 But when many years had passed, and it pleased God that Nehemias should be sent by the king of Persia, he sent some of the posterity of those priests that had hid it, to seek for the fire: and as they told us, they found no fire, but thick water.\n21 Then he bade them draw it up, and bring it to him: and the priest Nehemias commanded the sacrifices that were laid on, to be sprinkled with the same water, both the wood, and the things that were laid upon it.\n22 And when this was done, and the time came that the sun shone out, which before was in a cloud, there was a great fire kindled, so that all wondered.\n23 And all the priests made prayer, while the sacrifice was consuming, Jonathan beginning, and the rest answering.\n24 And the prayer of Nehemias was after this manner: O Lord God, Creator of all things, dreadful and strong, just and merciful, who alone art the good king,\n25 Who alone art gracious, who alone art just, and almighty, and eternal, who deliverest Israel from all evil, who didst choose the fathers and didst sanctify them:\n26 Receive the sacrifice for all thy people Israel, and preserve thy own portion, and sanctify it.\n**27 Gather together our scattered people, deliver them that are slaves to the Gentiles, and look upon them that are despised and abhorred: that the Gentiles may know that thou art our God.**\n28 Punish them that oppress us, and that treat us injuriously with pride.\n29 Establish thy people in thy holy place, as Moses hath spoken.\n30 And the priests sung hymns till the sacrifice was consumed.\n31 And when the sacrifice was consumed, Nehemias commanded the water that was left to be poured out upon the great stones.\n32 Which being done, there was kindled a flame from them: but it was consumed by the light that shined from the altar.\n33 And when this matter became public, it was told to the king of Persia, that in the place where the priests that were led away, had hid the fire, there appeared water, with which Nehemias and they that were with him had purified the sacrifices.\n34 And the king considering, and diligently examining the matter, made a temple for it, that he might prove what had happened.\n35 And when he had proved it, he gave the priests many goods, and divers presents, and he took and distributed them to them with his own hand.\n36 And Nehemias called this place Nephthar, which is interpreted purification.

Arid David said to him: To buy the thrashingfloor of thee, and build an altar to the Lord, that the plague, which rageth among the people, may cease.\n22 And Areuna said to David: Let my lord the king take, and offer, as it seemeth good to him: thou hast here oxen for a holocaust, and the wain, and the yokes of the oxen for wood.\n23 All these things Areuna as a king gave to the king: and Areuna said to the king: The Lord thy God receive thy vow.\n24 And the king answered him, and said: Nay, but I will buy it of thee at a price, and I will not offer to the Lord my God holocausts free cost. So David bought the floor, and the oxen, for fifty sicles of silver:\n25 And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered holocausts and peace offerings: and the Lord became merciful to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Scripture from Daniel 9:17?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Daniel 9:17 from the Old Testament (Douay Rheims) reads:\n\"Now therefore, O our God, hear the supplication of thy servant, and his prayers: and shew thy face upon thy sanctuary which is desolate, for thy own sake.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the reference (book, chapter, verse) for \"And he came lamenting in this manner even to the gate of the palace: for no one clothed with sackcloth might enter the king's court.\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"And he came lamenting in this manner even to the gate of the palace: for no one clothed with sackcloth might enter the king's court.\" appears in Esther, chapter 4, at verse 2 of the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Show me Exodus 21:12", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**The Old Testament**\n*Exodus 21:12 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"He that striketh a man with a will to kill him, shall be put to death.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where exactly in the Bible is \"And I will be to them as a lioness, as a leopard in the way of the Assyrians.\" written?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"And I will be to them as a lioness, as a leopard in the way of the Assyrians.\" appears in Hosea, chapter 13, at verse 7 of the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Do you know the book and chapter where \"I will give thee a king in my wrath, and will take him away in my indignation.\" is found?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you're referencing is from the book *Hosea*, chapter *13*.\n\nHere's the full chapter:\n*Hosea Chapter 13*\n1 When Ephraim spoke, a horror seized Israel: and he sinned in Baal and died.\n2 And now they have sinned more and more: and they have made to themselves a molten thing of their silver as the likeness of idols: the whole is the work of craftsmen: to these that say: Sacrifice men, ye that adore calves.\n3 Therefore they shall be as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the dust that is driven with a whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.\n4 But I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt: and thou shalt know no God but me, and there is no saviour beside me.\n5 I knew thee in the desert, in the land of the wilderness.\n6 According to their pastures they were filled, and were made full: and they lifted up their heart, and have forgotten me.\n7 And I will be to them as a lioness, as a leopard in the way of the Assyrians.\n8 I will meet them as a bear that is robbed of her whelps, and I will rend the inner parts of their liver: and I will devour them there as a lion, the beast of the field shall tear them.\n9 Destruction is thy own, O Israel: thy help is only in me.\n10 Where is thy king? now especially let him save thee in all thy cities: and thy judges, of whom thou saidst: Give me kings and princes.\n**11 I will give thee a king in my wrath, and will take him away in my indignation.**\n12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up, his sin is hidden.\n13 The sorrows of a woman in labour shall come upon him, he is an unwise son: for now he shall not stand in the breach of the children.\n14 I will deliver them out of the hand of death.

that a pool adjoining of two furlongs broad seemed to run with the blood of the slain.\n17 From thence they departed seven hundred and fifty furlongs, and came to Characa to the Jews that are called Tubianites.\n18 But as for Timotheus, they found him not in those places, for before he had dispatched any thing he went back, having left a very strong garrison in a certain hold:\n19 But Dositheus, and Sosipater, who were captains with Machabeus, slew them that were left by Timotheus in the hold, to the number of ten thousand men.\n20 And Machabeus having set in order about him six thousand men, and divided them by bands, went forth against Timotheus, who had with him a hundred and twenty thousand footmen, and two thousand five hundred horsemen.\n21 Now when Timotheus had knowledge of the coming of Judas, he sent the women and children, and the other baggage before him into a fortress, called Carnion: for it was impregnable and hard to come at, by reason of the straitness of the places.\n22 But when the first band of Judas came in sight, the enemies were struck with fear, by the presence of God, who seeth all things, and they were put to flight one from another, so that they were often thrown down by their own companions, and wounded with the strokes of their own swords.\n23 But Judas was vehemently earnest in punishing the profane, of whom he slew thirty thousand men.\n24 And Timotheus himself fell into the hands of the band of Dositheus and Sosipater, and with many prayers he besought them to let him go with his life, because he had the parents and brethren of many of the Jews, who, by his death, might happen to be deceived.\n25 And when he had given his faith that he would restore them according to the agreement, they let him go without hurt, for the saving of their brethren.\n26 Then Judas went away to Carnion, where he slew five and twenty thousand persons.\n27 And after he had put to flight and destroyed these, he removed his army to Ephron, a strong city, wherein there dwelt a multitude of divers nations: and stout young men standing upon the walls made a vigorous resistance: and in this place there were many engines of war, and a provision of darts.\n28 But when they had invocated the Almighty, who with his power breaketh the strength of the enemies, they took the city; and slew five and twenty thousand of them that were within.\n29 From thence they departed to Scythopolis, which lieth six hundred furlongs from Jerusalem.\n**30 But the Jews that were among the Scythopolitans testifying that they were used kindly by them, and that even in the times of their adversity they had treated them with humanity:**\n31 They gave them thanks exhorting them to be still friendly to their nation, and so they came to Jerusalem, the feast of the weeks being at hand.\n32 And after Pentecost they marched against Gorgias the governor of Idumea.\n33 And he came out with three thousand footmen, and four hundred horsemen.\n34 And when they had joined battle, it happened that a few of the Jews were slain.\n35 But Dositheus, a horseman, one of Bacenor's band, a valiant man, took hold of Gorgias: and when he would have taken him alive, a certain horseman of the Thracians came upon him, and cut off his shoulder: and so Gorgias escaped to Maresa.\n36 But when they that were with Esdrin had fought long, and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord to be their helper, and leader of the battle:\n37 Then beginning in his own language, and singing hymns with a loud voice, he put Gorgias' soldiers to flight.\n38 So Judas having gathered together his army, came into the city Odollam: and when the seventh day came, they purified themselves according to the custom, and kept the sabbath in the place.\n39 And the day following Judas came with his company, to take away the bodies of them that were slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen, in the sepulchres of their fathers.\n40 And they found under the coats of the slain some of the donaries of the idols of Jamnia, which the law forbiddeth to the Jews: so that all plainly saw, that for this cause they were slain.\n41 Then they all blessed the just judgment of the Lord, who had discovered the things that were hidden.\n42 And so betaking themselves to prayers, they besought him, that the sin which had been committed might be forgotten. But the most valiant Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves from sin, forasmuch as they saw before their eyes what had happened, because of the sins of those that were slain.\n43 And making a gathering, he sent twelve thousand drachms of silver to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead, thinking well and religiously concerning the resurrection,\n44 (For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should rise again, it would have seemed superfluous and vain to pray for the dead,)\n45 And because he considered that they who had fallen asleep with godliness, had great grace laid up for them.\n46 It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Read me 2 Samuel

And when the Lord heard it he was angry. And the fire of the Lord being kindled against them, devoured them that were at the uttermost part of the camp.\n2 And when the people cried to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was swallowed up.\n3 And he called the name of that place, The burning: for that the fire of the Lord had been kindled against them.\n4 For a mixt multitude of people, that came up with them, burned with desire, sitting and weeping, the children of Israel also being joined with them, and said: Who shall give us flesh to eat?\n5 We remember the Ash that we ate in Egypt free cost: the cucumbers come into our mind, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic.\n6 Our soul is dry, our eyes behold nothing else but manna.\n7 A Now the manna was like coriander seed, of the colour of bdellium.\n8 And the people went about, and gathering it, ground it in a mill, or beat it in a mortar, and boiled it in a pot, and made cakes thereof of the taste of bread tempered with oil.\n9 And when the dew fell in the night upon the camp, the manna also fell with it.\n10 Now Moses heard the people weeping by their families, every one at the door of his tent. And the wrath of the Lord was exceedingly enkindled: to Moses also the thing seemed insupportable.\n11 And he said to the Lord: Why hast thou afflicted thy servant? wherefore do I not find favour before thee? and why hast thou laid the weight of all this people upon me?\n12 Have I conceived all this multitude, or begotten them, that thou shouldst say to me: Carry them in thy bosom as the nurse is wont to carry the little infant, and bear them into the land, for which thou hast sworn to their fathers?\n13 Whence should I have flesh to give to so great a multitude? they weep against me, saying: Give us flesh that we may eat.\n14 I am not able alone to bear all this people, because it is too heavy for me.\n15 But if it seem unto thee otherwise, I beseech thee to kill me, and let me find grace in thy eyes, that I be not afflicted with so great evils.\n16 And the Lord said to Moses: Gather unto me seventy men of the ancients of Israel, whom thou knowest to be ancients and masters of the people: and thou shalt bring them to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and shalt make them stand there with thee,\n**17 That I may come down and speak with thee: and I will take of thy spirit, and will give to them, that they may bear with thee the burden of the people, and thou mayest not be burthened alone.**\n18 And thou shalt say to the people: Be ye sanctified: to morrow you shall eat flesh: for I have heard you say: Who will give us flesh to eat? it was well with us in Egypt. That the Lord may give you flesh, and you may eat:\n19 Not for one day, nor two, nor five, nor ten, no nor for twenty.\n20 But even for a month of days, till it come out at your nostrils, and become loathsome to you, because you have cast off the Lord, who is in the midst of you, and have wept before him, saying: Why came we out of Egypt?\n21 And Moses said: There are six hundred thousand footmen of this people, and sayest thou: I will give them flesh to eat a whole month?\n22 Shall then a multitude of sheep and oxen be killed, that it may suffice for their food? or shall the fishes of the sea be gathered together to fill them?\n23 And the Lord answered him: Is the hand of the Lord unable? Thou shalt presently see whether my word shall come to pass or no.\n24 Moses therefore came, and told the people the words of the Lord, and assembled seventy men of the ancients of Israel, and made them to stand about the tabernacle.\n25 And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, taking away of the spirit that was in Moses, and giving to the seventy men. And when the spirit had rested on them they prophesied, nor did they cease afterwards.\n26 Now there remained in the camp two of the men, of whom one was called Eldad, and the other Medad, upon whom the spirit rested; for they also had been enrolled, but were not gone forth to the tabernacle.\n27 And when they prophesied in the camp, there ran a young man, and told Moses, saying: Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.\n28 Forthwith Josue the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and chosen out of many, said: My lord Moses forbid them.\n29 But he said: Why hast thou emulation for me? O that all the people might prophesy, and that the Lord would give them his spirit!\n30 And Moses returned, with the ancients of Israel, into the camp.\n31 And a wind going out from the Lord, taking quails up beyond the sea brought them, and cast them into the camp for the space of one day's journey, on every side of the camp round about, and they flew in the air two cubits high above the ground.\n32 The people therefore rising up all that day, and night, and the next day, gathered together of quails, he that did least, ten cores: and they dried them round about the camp.\n33 As yet the flesh was between their teeth, neither had that kind of meat failed: when behold the wrath of the Lord being provoked against the people, struck them with an exceeding great plague.\n34 And that place was called, The graves of lust: for there they buried the people that had lusted.

For I have charged my young men, not to molest thee: and if thou art thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of the waters whereof the servants drink.\n10 She fell on her face and worshipping upon the ground, said to him: Whence cometh this to me, that I should find grace before thy eyes, and that thou shouldst vouchsafe to take notice of me a woman of another country?\n11 And he answered her: All hath been told me, that thou hast done to thy mother in law after the death of thy husband: and how thou hast left thy parents, and the land wherein thou wast born, and art come to a people which thou knewest not heretofore.\n12 The Lord render unto thee for thy work, and mayest thou receive a full reward of the Lord the God of Israel, to whom thou art come, and under whose wings thou art fled.\n13 And she said: I have found grace in thy eyes, my lord, who hast comforted me and hast spoken to the heart of thy handmaid, who am not like to one of thy maids.\n14 And Booz said to her: At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. So she sat at the side of the reapers, and she heaped to herself frumenty, and ate and was filled, and took the leavings.\n15 And she arose from thence, to glean the ears of corn as before. And Booz commanded his servants, saying: If she would even reap with you, hinder her not:\n16 And let fall some of your handfuls of purpose, and leave them, that she may gather them without shame, and let no man rebuke her when she gathereth them.\n17 She gleaned therefore in the field till evening: and beating out with a rod and threshing what she had gleaned, she found about the measure of an ephi of barley, that is, three bushels:\n18 Which she took up and returned into the city, and shewed it to her mother in law: moreover she brought out, and gave her of the remains of her meat, wherewith she had been filled.\n19 And her mother in law said to her: Where hast thou gleaned to day, and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that hath had pity on thee. And she told her with whom she had wrought: and she told the man's name, that he was called Booz.\n20 And Noemi answered her: Blessed be he of the Lord: because the same kindness which he shewed to the living, he hath kept also to the dead.

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.\n**62 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": "2 Samuel, chapter 5, verse 1 - what does it say?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From the Old Testament, in 2 Samuel 5:1 (Douay Rheims), we read:\n\"Then all the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron, saying: Behold we are thy bone and thy flesh.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you provide the book, chapter, and verse for \"And the king said to Siba: I give thee all that belonged to Miphiboseth.

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.\n**28 He thinking she was taking her rest, said to her: Arise, and let us be going.

5*\n1 Now it came to 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

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.\n9 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.\n**26 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. I Daniel was much troubled with my thoughts, and my countenance was changed in me: but I kept the word in my heart.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where exactly in the Bible is \"And all mount Sinai was on a smoke: because the Lord was come down upon it in fire, and the smoke arose from it as out of a furnace: and all the mount was terrible.\" written?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "You can find \"And all mount Sinai was on a smoke: because the Lord was come down upon it in fire, and the smoke arose from it as out of a furnace: and all the mount was terrible.\" in the Old Testament, specifically in Exodus 19:18.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Recite Exodus 31:17", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse in Exodus 31:17 of the Old Testament (Douay Rheims) goes:\n\"Between me and the children of Israel, and a perpetual sign.

Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.\n7 There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her: Give me to drink.\n8 For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats.\n9 Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew, ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not communicate with the Samaritans.\n10 Jesus answered, and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God, and who he is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.\n11 The woman saith to him: Sir, thou hast nothing wherein to draw, and the well is deep; from whence then hast thou living water?\n12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?\n13 Jesus answered, and said to her: Whosoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again; but he that shall drink of the water that I will give him, shall not thirst for ever:\n14 But the water that I will give him, shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into life everlasting.\n15 The woman saith to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.\n16 Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither.\n17 The woman answered, and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well, I have no husband:\n18 For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. This thou hast said truly.\n19 The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.\n**20 Our fathers adored on this mountain, and you say, that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore.**\n21 Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me, that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, adore the Father.\n22 You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know; for salvation is of the Jews.\n23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him.\n24 God is a spirit; and they that adore him, must adore him in spirit and in truth.\n25 The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is called Christ); therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things.\n26 Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee.\n27 And immediately his disciples came; and they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?\n28 The woman therefore left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men there:\n29 Come, and see a man who has told me all things whatsoever I have done. Is not he the Christ?\n30 They went therefore out of the city, and came unto him.\n31 In the mean time the disciples prayed him, saying: Rabbi, eat.\n32 But he said to them: I have meat to eat, which you know not.\n33 The disciples therefore said one to another: Hath any man brought him to eat?\n34 Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work.\n35 Do you not say, There are yet four months, and then the harvest cometh? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries; for they are white already to harvest.\n36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life everlasting: that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, may rejoice together.\n37 For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, and it is another that reapeth.\n38 I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour: others have laboured, and you have entered into their labours.\n39 Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I have done.\n40 So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he would tarry there. And he abode there two days.\n41 And many more believed in him because of his own word.\n42 And they said to the woman: We now believe, not for thy saying: for we ourselves have heard him, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.\n43 Now after two days, he departed thence, and went into Galilee.\n44 For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.\n45 And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he had done at Jerusalem on the festival day; for they also went to the festival day.\n46 He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum.\n47 He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and prayed him to come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.\n48 Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not.\n49 The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die.\n50 Jesus saith to him: Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.\n51 And as he was going down, his servants met him; and they brought word, saying, that his son lived.\n52 He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.\n53 The father therefore knew, that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house.\n54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book, chapter, and verse is \"Any man whosoever of the children of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among you, if by hunting or fowling, he take a wild beast or a bird, which is lawful to eat, let him pour out its blood, and cover it with earth.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The scripture \"Any man whosoever of the children of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among you, if by hunting or fowling, he take a wild beast or a bird, which is lawful to eat, let him pour out its blood, and cover it with earth.\" is located in Leviticus 17:13 of the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What does Luke chapter 11 verse 5 say?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Luke 11:5 from the New Testament (Douay Rheims) reads:\n\"And he said to them: Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and shall say to him: Friend, lend me three loaves,\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where in the bible does it say \"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.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The passage \"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.\" comes from Luke 18:11 in the New Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Could you quote Luke 22:2 for me?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Here's the passage from Luke 22:2 in the New Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put Jesus to death: but they feared the people.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you tell me the book and chapter for \"And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward: Call the labourers and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even to the first.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "That verse comes from *Matthew*, chapter *20*.\n\nCheck out the whole chapter:\n*Matthew Chapter 20*\n1 The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.\n2 And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.\n3 And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market place idle.\n4 And he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and I will give you what shall be just.\n5 And they went their way.

Maccabees Chapter 10*\n1 Now in the hundred and sixtieth year Alexander the son of Antiochus, surnamed the Illustrious, came up and took Ptolemais, and they received him, and he reigned there.\n2 And king Demetrius heard of it, and gathered together an exceeding great army, and went forth against him to fight.\n3 And Demetrius sent a letter to Jonathan with peaceable words, to magnify him.\n4 For he said: Let us first make a peace with him, before he make one with Alexander against us.\n5 For he will remember all the evils that we have done against him, and against his brother, and against his nation.\n6 And he gave him authority to gather together an army, and to make arms, and that he should be his confederate: and the hostages that were in the castle, he commanded to be delivered to him.\n7 And Jonathan came to Jerusalem, and read the letters in the hearing of all the people, and of them that were in the castle.\n8 And they were struck with great fear, because they heard that the king had given him authority to gather together an army.\n9 And the hostages were delivered to Jonathan, and he restored them to their parents.\n10 And Jonathan dwelt in Jerusalem, and began to build, and to repair the city.\n11 And he ordered workmen to build the walls, and mount Sion round about with square stones for fortification: and so they did.\n12 And the strangers that were in the strong holds, which Bacchides had built, fled away.\n13 And every man left his place, and departed into his own country:\n14 Only in Bethsura there remained some of them, that had forsaken the law, and the commandments of God: for this was a place of refuge for them.\n15 And king Alexander heard of the promises that Demetrius had made Jonathan: and they told him of the battles, and the worthy acts that he, and his brethren had done, and the labours that they had endured.\n16 And he said: Shall we find such another man? now therefore we will make him our friend and our confederate.\n17 So he wrote a letter, and sent it to him according to these words, saying:\n18 King Alexander to his brother Jonathan, greeting.\n19 We have heard of thee, that thou art a man of great power, and fit to be our friend:\n20 Now therefore we make thee this day high priest of thy nation, and that thou be called the king's friend, (and he sent him a purple robe, and a crown of gold,) and that thou be of one mind with us in our affairs, and keep friendship with us.\n21 Then Jonathan put on the holy vestment in the seventh month, in the year one hundred and threescore, at the feast day of the tabernacles: and he gathered together an army, and made a great number of arms.\n22 And Demetrius heard these words, and was exceeding sorry, and said:\n23 What is this that we have done, that Alexander hath prevented us to gain the friendship of the Jews to strengthen himself?\n24 I also will write to them words of request, and offer dignities, and gifts: that they may be with me to aid me.\n25 And he wrote to them in these words: King Demetrius to the nation of the Jews, greeting.\n26 Whereas you have kept covenant with us, and have continued in our friendship, and have not joined with our enemies, we have heard of it, and are glad.\n27 Wherefore now continue still to keep fidelity towards us, and we will reward you with good things, for what you have done in our behalf.\n28 And we will remit to you many charges, and will give you gifts.\n29 And now I free you, and all the Jews from tributes, and I release you from the customs of salt, and remit the crowns, and the thirds of the seed:\n30 And the half of the fruit of trees, which is my share, I leave to you from this day forward, so that it shall not be taken of the land of Juda, and of the three cities that are added thereto out of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth and for ever:\n31 And let Jerusalem be holy and free, with the borders thereof: and let the tenths, and tributes be for itself.\n32 I yield up also the power of the castle that is in Jerusalem, and I give it to the high priest, to place therein such men as he shall choose to keep it.\n33 And every soul of the Jews that hath been carried captive from the land of Juda in all my kingdom, I set at liberty freely, that all be discharged from tributes even of their cattle.\n34 And I will that all the feasts, and the sabbaths, and the new moons, and the days appointed, and three days before the solemn day, and three days after the solemn day, be all days of immunity and freedom, for all the Jews that are in my kingdom:\n35 And no man shall have power to do any thing against them, or to molest any of them, in any cause.\n36 And let there be enrolled in the king's army to the number of thirty thousand of the Jews: and allowance shall be made them as is due to all the king's forces, and certain of them shall be appointed to be in the fortresses of the great king:\n37 And some of them shall be set over the affairs of the kingdom, that are of trust, and let the governors be taken from among themselves, and let them walk in their own laws, as the king hath commanded in the land of Juda.\n38 And the three cities that are added to Judea, out of the country of Samaria, let them be accounted with Judea: that they may be under one, and obey no other authority but that of the high priest:\n39 Ptolemais, and the confines thereof, I give as a free gift to the holy places, that are in Jerusalem, for the necessary charges of the holy things.\n40 And I give every year fifteen thousand sicles of silver out of the king's accounts, of what belongs to me:\n41 And all that is above, which they that were over the affairs the years before, had not paid, from this time they shall give it to the works of the house.\n42 Moreover the five thousand sicles of silver which they received from the account of the holy places, every year, shall also belong to the priests that execute the ministry.\n43 And whosoever shall flee into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and in all the borders thereof, being indebted to the king for any matter, let them be set at liberty, and all that they have in my kingdom, let them have it free.\n44 For the building also, or repairing the works of the holy places, the charges shall be given out of the king's revenues:\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.\n**48 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.

As they were speaking these things,\n22 Josue called the Gabaonites and said to them: Why would you impose upon us, saying: We dwell far off from you, whereas you are in the midst of us?\n23 Therefore you shall be under a curse, and your race shall always be hewers of wood, and carriers of water unto the house of my God.\n24 They answered: It was told us thy servants, that the Lord thy God had promised his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants thereof.

And he arose up and went to Heli.\n9 And said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. Then Heli understood that the Lord called the child, and he said to Samuel: Go, and sleep: and if he shall call thee any more, thou shalt say: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and slept in his place.\n10 And the Lord came and stood: and he called, as he had called the other times: Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.\n11 And the Lord said to Samuel: Behold I do a thing in Israel: and whosoever shall hear it, both his ears shall tingle.\n12 In that day I will raise up against Heli all the things I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin, and I will make an end.\n13 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.\n14 Therefore have I sworn to the house of Heli, that the iniquity of his house shall not be expiated with victims nor offerings for ever.\n15 And Samuel slept till morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord.

And he answered: It is the Lord: let him do what is good in his sight.\n19 And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and not one of his words fell to the ground.\n20 And all Israel from Dan to Bersabee, knew that Samuel was a faithful prophet of the Lord.\n**21 And the Lord again appeared in Silo, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Silo, according to the word of the Lord.

For he that cometh to God, must believe that he is, and is a rewarder to them that seek him.\n7 By faith Noe, having received an answer concerning those things which as yet were not seen, moved with fear, framed the ark for the saving of his house, by the which he condemned the world; and was instituted heir of the justice which is by faith.\n8 By faith he that is called Abraham, obeyed to go out into a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.\n9 By faith he abode in the land, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise.\n10 For he looked for a city that hath foundations; whose builder and maker is God.\n11 By faith also Sara herself, being barren, received strength to conceive seed, even past the time of age; because she believed that he was faithful who had promised,\n12 For which cause there sprung even from one (and him as good as dead) as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.\n13 All these died according to faith, not having received the promises, but beholding them afar off, and saluting them, and confessing that they are pilgrims and strangers on the earth.\n14 For they that say these things, do signify that they seek a country.\n15 And truly if they had been mindful of that from whence they came out, they had doubtless time to return.\n16 But now they desire a better, that is to say, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city.\n17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered Isaac: and he that had received the promises, offered up his only begotten son;\n18 (To whom it was said: In Isaac shall thy seed be called.)\n19 Accounting that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Whereupon also he received him for a parable.\n20 By faith also of things to come, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau.\n21 By faith Jacob dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and adored the top of his rod.\n22 By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the going out of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.\n23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents; because they saw he was a comely babe, and they feared not the king's edict.\n24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, denied himself to be the son of Pharao's daughter;\n25 Rather choosing to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have the pleasure of sin for a time,\n26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure of the Egyptians. For he looked unto the reward.\n27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the fierceness of the king: for he endured as seeing him that is invisible.\n28 By faith he celebrated the pasch, and the shedding of the blood; that he, who destroyed the firstborn, might not touch them.\n29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea, as by dry land: which the Egyptians attempting, were swallowed up.\n30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, by the going round them seven days.\n31 By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with the unbelievers, receiving the spies with peace.\n32 And what shall I yet say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, Barac, Samson, Jephthe, David, Samuel, and the prophets:\n33 Who by faith conquered kingdoms, wrought justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,\n34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, recovered strength from weakness, became valiant in battle, put to flight the armies of foreigners:\n35 Women received their dead raised to life again. But others were racked, not accepting deliverance, that they might find a better resurrection.\n36 And others had trial of mockeries and stripes, moreover also of bands and prisons.\n**37 They were stoned, they were cut asunder, they were tempted, they were put to death by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being in want, distressed, afflicted:**\n38 Of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts, in mountains, and in dens, and in caves of the earth.\n39 And all these being approved by the testimony of faith, received not the promise;\n40 God providing some better thing for us, that they should not be perfected without us.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which chapter and book contains \"And he said: It is a small thing that thou shouldst be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to convert the dregs of Israel.

Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.\n7 There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her: Give me to drink.\n8 For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats.\n9 Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew, ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not communicate with the Samaritans.\n10 Jesus answered, and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God, and who he is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.\n11 The woman saith to him: Sir, thou hast nothing wherein to draw, and the well is deep; from whence then hast thou living water?\n12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?\n13 Jesus answered, and said to her: Whosoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again; but he that shall drink of the water that I will give him, shall not thirst for ever:\n14 But the water that I will give him, shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into life everlasting.\n15 The woman saith to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.\n16 Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither.\n17 The woman answered, and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well, I have no husband:\n18 For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. This thou hast said truly.\n19 The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.\n20 Our fathers adored on this mountain, and you say, that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore.\n21 Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me, that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, adore the Father.\n22 You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know; for salvation is of the Jews.\n23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him.\n24 God is a spirit; and they that adore him, must adore him in spirit and in truth.\n25 The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is called Christ); therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things.\n**26 Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee.**\n27 And immediately his disciples came; and they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?\n28 The woman therefore left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men there:\n29 Come, and see a man who has told me all things whatsoever I have done. Is not he the Christ?\n30 They went therefore out of the city, and came unto him.\n31 In the mean time the disciples prayed him, saying: Rabbi, eat.\n32 But he said to them: I have meat to eat, which you know not.\n33 The disciples therefore said one to another: Hath any man brought him to eat?\n34 Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work.\n35 Do you not say, There are yet four months, and then the harvest cometh? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries; for they are white already to harvest.\n36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life everlasting: that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, may rejoice together.\n37 For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, and it is another that reapeth.\n38 I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour: others have laboured, and you have entered into their labours.\n39 Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I have done.\n40 So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he would tarry there. And he abode there two days.\n41 And many more believed in him because of his own word.\n42 And they said to the woman: We now believe, not for thy saying: for we ourselves have heard him, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.\n43 Now after two days, he departed thence, and went into Galilee.\n44 For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.\n45 And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he had done at Jerusalem on the festival day; for they also went to the festival day.\n46 He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum.\n47 He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and prayed him to come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.\n48 Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not.\n49 The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die.\n50 Jesus saith to him: Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.\n51 And as he was going down, his servants met him; and they brought word, saying, that his son lived.\n52 He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.\n53 The father therefore knew, that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house.\n54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Could you quote Joshua 23:7 for me?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**Old Testament**\n*Joshua 23:7 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"Lest after that you are come in among the Gentiles, who will remain among you, you should swear by the name of their gods, and serve them, and adore them:\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and what chapter and verse include \"Who said to her: Suffer first the children to be filled: for it is not good to take the bread of the children, and cast it to the dogs.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"Who said to her: Suffer first the children to be filled: for it is not good to take the bread of the children, and cast it to the dogs.\" appears in Mark, chapter 7, at verse 27 of the New Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What is written in Matthew 24:29?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the New Testament, Matthew chapter 24, verse 29 (Douay Rheims) says:\n\"And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be moved:\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and what chapter and verse include \"Envy not the unjust man, and do not follow his ways:\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The text \"Envy not the unjust man, and do not follow his ways:\" is part of Proverbs chapter 3, verse 31 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book is the verse \"Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "That one's from *Psalm*, chapter *106*.\n\nHere's the chapter it's part of:\n*Psalm Chapter 106*\n**1 Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.**\n2 Let them say so that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: and gathered out of the countries.\n3 From the rising and the setting of the sun, from the north and from the sea.\n4 They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: they found not the way of a city for their habitation.\n5 They were hungry and thirsty: their soul fainted in them.\n6 And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: and he delivered them out of their distresses.\n7 And he led them into the right way: that they might go to a city of habitation.\n8 Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.\n9 For he hath satisfied the empty soul, and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.\n10 Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: bound in want and in iron.\n11 Because they had exasperated the words of God: and provoked the counsel of the most High:\n12 And their heart was humbled with labours: they were weakened, and their was none to help them.\n13 Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.\n14 And he brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death;

And Joab the son of Sarvia went up first, and was made the general.\n7 And David dwelt in the castle, and therefore it was called the city of David.\n8 And he built the city round about from Mello all round, and Joab built the rest of the city.\n9 And David went on growing and increasing, and the Lord of hosts was with him.\n10 These are the chief of the valiant men of David, who helped him to be made king over all Israel, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Israel.\n11 And this is the number of the heroes of David: Jesbaam the son of Hachamoni the chief among the thirty: he lifted up his spear against three hundred wounded by him at one time.\n12 And after him was Eleazar his uncle's son the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.\n13 He was with David in Phesdomim, when the Philistines were gathered to that place to battle: and the field of that country was full of barley, and the people fled from before the Philistines.\n14 But these men stood in the midst of the field, and defended it: and they slew the Philistines, and the Lord gave a great deliverance to his people.\n15 And three of the thirty captains went down to the rock, wherein David was, to the cave of Odollam, when the Philistines encamped in the valley of Raphaim.\n16 And David was in a hold, and the garrison of the Philistines in Bethlehem.\n17 And David longed, and said: O that some man would give me water of the cistern of Bethlehem, which is in the gate.\n18 And these three broke through the midst of the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the cistern of Bethlehem, which was in the gate, and brought it to David to drink: and he would not drink of it, but rather offered it to the Lord,\n19 Saying: God forbid that I should do this in the sight of my God, and should drink the blood of these men: for with the danger of their lives they have brought me the water. And therefore he would not drink. These things did the three most valiant.\n20 And Abisai the brother of Joab, he was chief of three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he slew, and he was renowned among the three,\n21 And illustrious among the second three, and their captain: but yet he attained not to the first three.\n22 Banaias the son of Joiada, a most valiant man, of Cabseel, who had done many acts: he slew the two ariels of Moab: and he went down, and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in the time of snow.\n23 And he slew an Egyptian, whose stature was of five cubits, and who had a spear like a weaver's beam: and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked away the spear, that he held in his hand, and slew him with his own spear.\n24 These things did Banaias the son of Joiada, who was renowned among the three valiant ones,\n25 And the first among the thirty, but yet to the three he attained not: and David made him of his council.\n26 Moreover the most valiant men of the army, were Asahel brother of Joab, and Elchanan the son of his uncle of Bethlehem,\n27 Sammoth an Arorite, Helles a Phalonite,\n28 Ira the son of Acces a Thecuite, Abiezer an Anathothite,\n29 Sobbochai a Husathite, Ilai an Ahohite,\n30 Maharai a Netophathite, Heled the son of Baana a Netophathite,\n31 Ethai the son of Ribai of Gabaath of the sons of Benjamin, Banal a Pharathonite,\n32 Hurai of the torrent Gaas, Abiel an Arbathite, Azmoth a Bauramite, Eliaba a Salabonite,\n33 The sons of Assem a, Gezonite, Jonathan the son of Sage an Ararite,\n34 Ahiam the son of Sachar an Ararite,\n35 Eliphal the son of Ur,\n36 Hepher a Mecherathite, Ahia a Phelonite,\n37 Hesro a Carmelite, Naarai the son of Azbai,\n**38 Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibahar the son of Agarai.**\n39 Selec an Ammonite, Naharai a Berothite, the armourbearer of Joab the son of Sarvia.\n40 Ira a Jethrite, Gareb a Jethrite,\n41 Urias a Hethite, Zabad the son of Oholi,\n42 Adina the son of Siza a Rubenite the prince of the Rubenites, and thirty with him:\n43 Hanan the son of Maacha, and Josaphat a Mathanite,\n44 Ozia an Astarothite, Samma, and Jehiel the sons of Hotham an Arorite,\n45 Jedihel the son of Zamri, and Jobs his brother a Thosaite,\n46 Eliel a Mithumite, and Jeribai, and Josaia the sons of Elnaim, and Jethma a Moabite, Eliel, and Obed, and Jasiel of Masobia.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where in the books does \"And when Achab was dead, he broke the league which he had made with the king of Israel.\" show up, chapter-wise?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "That verse comes from *2 Kings*, chapter *3*.\n\nCheck out the whole chapter:\n*2 Kings Chapter 3*\n1 And Joram the son of Achab reigned over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Josaphat king of Juda.

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.

The word of the Lord inflamed him.\n20 The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.\n21 He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession.\n22 That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom.\n23 And Israel went into Egypt: and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham.\n24 And he increased his people exceedingly: and strengthened them over their enemies,\n25 He turned their heart to hate his people: and to deal deceitfully with his servants.\n26 He sent Moses his servant: Aaron the man whom he had chosen.\n27 He gave them power to shew his signs, and his wonders in the land of Cham.\n28 He sent darkness, and made it obscure: and grieved not his words.\n29 He turned their waters into blood, and destroyed their fish.\n30 Their land brought forth frogs, in the inner chambers of their kings.\n31 He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies and sciniphs in all their coasts.\n32 He gave them hail for rain, a burning fire in the land.\n33 And he destroyed their vineyards and their fig trees: and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts.\n34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number.\n35 And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground.\n36 And he slew all the firstborn in their land: the firstfruits of all their labour.\n37 And he brought them out with silver and gold: and there was not among their tribes one that was feeble.\n38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them lay upon them.\n39 He spread a cloud for their protection, and fire to give them light in the night.\n40 They asked, and the quail came: and he filled them with the bread of heaven.\n41 He opened the rock, and waters flowed: rivers ran down in the dry land.\n42 Because he remembered his holy word, which he had spoken to his servant Abraham.\n43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness.\n44 And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: and they possessed the labours of the people:\n45 That they might observe his justifications, and seek after his law.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where exactly in the Bible is \"He that is but flesh, nourisheth anger, and doth he ask forgiveness of God? who shall obtain pardon for his sins?\" written?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Bible, the verse \"He that is but flesh, nourisheth anger, and doth he ask forgiveness of God? who shall obtain pardon for his sins?\" can be found in the book of Sirach, chapter 28, verse 5 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What does it say in Sirach chapter 44 verse 27?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The scripture from the Old Testament at Sirach 44:27 (Douay Rheims) is:\n\"And he preserved for him men of mercy, that found grace in the eyes of all flesh.\"", "role": "assistant" } ]
