bes@Esther:6:13 @ And Aman related the events that had befallen him to Zosara his wife, and to his friends: and his friends and his wife said to him, (note:)Or, if it be M. etc., before whom(:note) If Mardochaeus be of the race of the Jews, and thou hast begun to be humbled before him, thou wilt assuredly fall, and thou wilt not be able to withstand him, for the living God is with him.

bes@Esther:7:2 @ And the king said to Esther at the banquet on the second day, What is it, queen Esther? and what is thy request, and what is thy petition? and it shall be done for thee, to the half of my kingdom.

bes@Esther:7:3 @ And she answered and said, If I have found favour in the sight of the king, let my life be granted to my petition, and my people to my request.

bes@Esther:7:4 @ For both I and my people are sold for destruction, and pillage, and slavery; both we and our children for bondmen and bondwomen: and I consented not to it, for the (note:)See. Hebrews.(:note) slanderer is not worthy of the king’s palace.

bes@Esther:7:9 @ And Bugathan, one of the chamberlains, said to the king, Behold, Aman has also prepared a gallows for Mardochaeus, who spoke concerning the king, and a gallows of fifty cubits high has been set up in the premises of Aman. And the king said, Let him be (note:)Or, impaled(:note) hanged thereon.

bes@Esther:8:3 @ And she spoke yet again to the king, and fell at his feet, and besought him to do away the mischief of Aman, and all that he had done against the Jews.

bes@Esther:8:5 @ And Esther said, If it seem good to thee, and I have found favour in thy sight, let an order be sent that the letters sent by Aman may be reversed, that were written for the destruction of the Jews, who are in thy kingdom.

bes@Esther:8:6 @ For how shall I be able to look upon the affliction of my people, and how shall I be able to survive the destruction of my (note:)Gr. country(:note) kindred?

bes@Esther:8:8 @ Write ye also in my name, as it seems good to you, and seal it with my ring: for whatever orders are written at the command of the king, and sealed with my ring, it is not (note:)Or, possible(:note) lawful to gainsay them.

bes@Esther:8:9 @ So the scribes were called in the first-month, which is Nisan, on the three and twentieth day of the same year; and orders were written to the Jews, whatever the king had commanded to the (note:)Gr. stewards(:note) local governors and chiefs of the satraps, from India even to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven satraps, according to the several provinces, according to their dialects.

bes@Esther:8:10 @ And they were written by order of the king, and sealed with his ring, and they sent the letters by the posts:

bes@Esther:8:12 @ on one day in all the kingdom of Artaxerxes, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is Adar.

bes@Esther:8:15 @ And Mardochaeus went forth robed in the royal apparel, and wearing a golden crown, and a diadem of fine purple linen: and the people in Susa saw it and rejoiced.

bes@Esther:8:17 @ in every city and province wherever the ordinance was published: wherever the proclamation took place, the Jews had joy and gladness, feasting and mirth: and many of the Gentiles were circumcised, and became Jews, for fear of the Jews.

bes@Esther:9:1 @ For in the twelfth month, on the thirteenth day of the month which is Adar, the letters written by the king arrived.

bes@Esther:9:2 @ In that day the adversaries of the Jews perished: for no one resisted, through fear of them.

bes@Esther:9:3 @ For the chiefs of the satraps, and the princes and the royal scribes, honoured the Jews; for the fear of Mardochaeus lay upon them.

bes@Esther:9:4 @ For the order of the king was in force, that he should be celebrated in all the kingdom.

bes@Esther:9:10 @ the ten sons of Aman the son of Amadathes the Bugaean, the enemy of the Jews, and they plundered their property on the same day:

bes@Esther:9:11 @ and the number of them that perished in Susa was rendered to the king.

bes@Esther:9:12 @ And the king said to Esther, The Jews have slain five hundred men in the city Susa; and how, thinkest thou, have they used them in the rest of the country? What then dost thou yet ask, that it may be done for thee?

bes@Esther:9:13 @ And Esther said to the king, let it be granted to the Jews so to treat them tomorrow as to hang the ten sons of Aman.

bes@Esther:9:14 @ And he permitted it to be so done; and he gave up to the Jews of the city the bodies of the sons of Aman to hang.

bes@Esther:9:15 @ And the Jews assembled in Susa on the fourteenth day of Adar, and slew three hundred men, but plundered no property.

bes@Esther:9:16 @ And the rest of the Jews who were in the kingdom assembled, and helped one another, and obtained rest from their enemies: for they destroyed fifteen thousand of them on the thirteenth day of Adar, but took no spoil.

bes@Esther:9:17 @ And they rested on the fourteenth of the same month, and kept it as a day of rest with joy and gladness.

bes@Esther:9:19 @ On this account then it is that the Jews dispersed in every foreign land keep the fourteenth of Adar as a (note:)Gr. good day(:note) holy day with joy, sending portions each to his neighbour.

bes@Esther:9:20 @ And Mardochaeus wrote these things in a book, and sent them to the Jews, as many as were in the kingdom of Artaxerxes, both them that were near and them that were afar off,

bes@Esther:9:21 @ to establish these as joyful days, and to keep the fourteenth and fifteenth of Adar;

bes@Esther:9:22 @ for on these days the Jews obtained rest from their enemies; and as to the month, which was Adar, in which a change was made for them, from mourning to joy, and from sorrow to a good day, to spend the whole of it in good days of (note:)Gr. weddings(:note) feasting and gladness, sending portions to their friends, and to the poor.

bes@Esther:9:24 @ shewing how Aman the son of Amadathes the Macedonian fought against them, how he made a decree and cast (note:)Gr. lot(:note) lots to destroy them utterly;

bes@Esther:9:26 @ Therefore these days were called Phrurae, because of the lots; (for in their language they are called Phrurae;) because of the words of this letter, and because of all they suffered on this account, and all that happened to them.

bes@Esther:9:28 @ And these days of the Phrurae, said they, shall be kept for ever, and their memorial shall not fail in any generation.

bes@Esther:9:29 @ And queen Esther, the daughter of Aminadab, and Mardochaeus the Jew, wrote all that they had done, and the confirmation of the letter of Phrurae.

bes@Job:1:5 @ And when the days of the banquet were completed, Job sent and purified them, having risen up in the morning, and offered sacrifices for them, according to their number, and one calf for (note:)Gr. sin(:note) a sin-offering for their souls: for Job said, Lest peradventure my sons have thought evil in their minds against God.

bes@Job:2:10 @ But he looked on her, and said to her, Thou hast spoken like one of the foolish women. If we have received good things of the hand of the Lord, shall we not endure evil things? In all these things that happened to him, Job sinned not at all with his lips before God.

bes@Jdt:1:12 @ Therefore Nabuchodonosor was very angry with all this country, and sware by his throne and kingdom, that he would surely be avenged upon all those coasts of Cilicia, and Damascus, and Syria, and that he would slay with the sword all the inhabitants of the land of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and all Judea, and all that were in Egypt, till ye come to the borders of the two seas.

bes@Jdt:1:13 @ Then he marched in battle array with his power against king Arphaxad in the seventeenth year, and he prevailed in his battle: for he overthrew all the power of Arphaxad, and all his horsemen, and all his chariots,

bes@Jdt:1:14 @ And became lord of his cities, and came unto Ecbatane, and took the towers, and spoiled the streets thereof, and turned the beauty thereof into shame.

bes@Jdt:1:15 @ He took also Arphaxad in the mountains of Ragau, and smote him through with his darts, and destroyed him utterly that day.

bes@Jdt:1:16 @ So he returned afterward to Nineve, both he and all his company of sundry nations being a very great multitude of men of war, and there he took his ease, and banqueted, both he and his army, an hundred and twenty days.

bes@Jdt:2:1 @ And in the eighteenth year, the two and twentieth day of the first month, there was talk in the house of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians that he should, as he said, avenge himself on all the earth.

bes@Jdt:2:2 @ So he called unto him all his officers, and all his nobles, and communicated with them his secret counsel, and concluded the afflicting of the whole earth out of his own mouth.

bes@Jdt:2:3 @ Then they decreed to destroy all flesh, that did not obey the commandment of his mouth.

bes@Jdt:2:4 @ And when he had ended his counsel, Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians called Holofernes the chief captain of his army, which was next unto him, and said unto him.

bes@Jdt:2:5 @ Thus saith the great king, the lord of the whole earth, Behold, thou shalt go forth from my presence, and take with thee men that trust in their own strength, of footmen an hundred and twenty thousand; and the number of horses with their riders twelve thousand.

bes@Jdt:2:7 @ And thou shalt declare unto that they prepare for me earth and water: for I will go forth in my wrath against them and will cover the whole face of the earth with the feet of mine army, and I will give them for a spoil unto them:

bes@Jdt:2:9 @ And I will lead them captives to the utmost parts of all the earth.

bes@Jdt:2:10 @ Thou therefore shalt go forth. and take beforehand for me all their coasts: and if they will yield themselves unto thee, thou shalt reserve them for me till the day of their punishment.

bes@Jdt:2:12 @ For as I live, and by the power of my kingdom, whatsoever I have spoken, that will I do by mine hand.

bes@Jdt:2:13 @ And take thou heed that thou transgress none of the commandments of thy lord, but accomplish them fully, as I have commanded thee, and defer not to do them.

bes@Jdt:2:14 @ Then Holofernes went forth from the presence of his lord, and called all the governors and captains, and the officers of the army of Assur;

bes@Jdt:2:18 @ And plenty of victual for every man of the army, and very much gold and silver out of the king’s house.

bes@Jdt:2:19 @ Then he went forth and all his power to go before king Nabuchodonosor in the voyage, and to cover all the face of the earth westward with their chariots, and horsemen, and their chosen footmen.

bes@Jdt:2:20 @ A great number also sundry countries came with them like locusts, and like the sand of the earth: for the multitude was without number.

bes@Jdt:2:21 @ And they went forth of Nineve three days’ journey toward the plain of Bectileth, and pitched from Bectileth near the mountain which is at the left hand of the upper Cilicia.

bes@Jdt:2:23 @ And destroyed Phud and Lud, and spoiled all the children of Rasses, and the children of Israel, which were toward the wilderness at the south of the land of the Chellians.

bes@Jdt:2:25 @ And he took the borders of Cilicia, and killed all that resisted him, and came to the borders of Japheth, which were toward the south, over against Arabia.

bes@Jdt:2:26 @ He compassed also all the children of Madian, and burned up their tabernacles, and spoiled their sheepcotes.

bes@Jdt:2:27 @ Then he went down into the plain of Damascus in the time of wheat harvest, and burnt up all their fields, and destroyed their flocks and herds, also he spoiled their cities, and utterly wasted their countries, and smote all their young men with the edge of the sword.

bes@Jdt:2:28 @ Therefore the fear and dread of him fell upon all the inhabitants of the sea coasts, which were in Sidon and Tyrus, and them that dwelt in Sur and Ocina, and all that dwelt in Jemnaan; and they that dwelt in Azotus and Ascalon feared him greatly.

bes@Jdt:3:1 @ So they sent ambassadors unto him to treat of peace, saying,

bes@Jdt:3:2 @ Behold, we the servants of Nabuchodonosor the great king lie before thee; use us as shall be good in thy sight.

bes@Jdt:3:3 @ Behold, our houses, and all our places, and all our fields of wheat, and flocks, and herds, and all the lodges of our tents lie before thy face; use them as it pleaseth thee.

bes@Jdt:3:6 @ Then came he down toward the sea coast, both he and his army, and set garrisons in the high cities, and took out of them chosen men for aid.

bes@Jdt:3:8 @ Yet he did cast down their frontiers, and cut down their groves: for he had decreed to destroy all the gods of the land, that all nations should worship Nabuchodonosor only, and that all tongues and tribes should call upon him as god.

bes@Jdt:3:9 @ Also he came over against Esdraelon near unto Judea, over against the great strait of Judea.

bes@Jdt:3:10 @ And he pitched between Geba and Scythopolis, and there he tarried a whole month, that he might gather together all the carriages of his army.

bes@Jdt:4:1 @ Now the children of Israel, that dwelt in Judea, heard all that Holofernes the chief captain of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians had done to the nations, and after what manner he had spoiled all their temples, and brought them to nought.

bes@Jdt:4:2 @ Therefore they were exceedingly afraid of him, and were troubled for Jerusalem, and for the temple of the Lord their God:

bes@Jdt:4:3 @ For they were newly returned from the captivity, and all the people of Judea were lately gathered together: and the vessels, and the altar, and the house, were sanctified after the profanation.

bes@Jdt:4:4 @ Therefore they sent into all the coasts of Samaria, and the villages and to Bethoron, and Belmen, and Jericho, and to Choba, and Esora, and to the valley of Salem:

bes@Jdt:4:5 @ And possessed themselves beforehand of all the tops of the high mountains, and fortified the villages that were in them, and laid up victuals for the provision of war: for their fields were of late reaped.

bes@Jdt:4:7 @ Charging them to keep the passages of the hill country: for by them there was an entrance into Judea, and it was easy to stop them that would come up, because the passage was straight, for two men at the most.

bes@Jdt:4:8 @ And the children of Israel did as Joacim the high priest had commanded them, with the ancients of all the people of Israel, which dwelt at Jerusalem.

bes@Jdt:4:9 @ Then every man of Israel cried to God with great fervency, and with great vehemency did they humble their souls:

bes@Jdt:4:11 @ Thus every man and women, and the little children, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, fell before the temple, and cast ashes upon their heads, and spread out their sackcloth before the face of the Lord: also they put sackcloth about the altar,

bes@Jdt:4:12 @ And cried to the God of Israel all with one consent earnestly, that he would not give their children for a prey, and their wives for a spoil, and the cities of their inheritance to destruction, and the sanctuary to profanation and reproach, and for the nations to rejoice at.

bes@Jdt:4:13 @ So God heard their prayers, and looked upon their afflictions: for the people fasted many days in all Judea and Jerusalem before the sanctuary of the Lord Almighty.

bes@Jdt:4:14 @ And Joacim the high priest, and all the priests that stood before the Lord, and they which ministered unto the Lord, had their loins girt with sackcloth, and offered the daily burnt offerings, with the vows and free gifts of the people,

bes@Jdt:4:15 @ And had ashes on their mitres, and cried unto the Lord with all their power, that he would look upon all the house of Israel graciously.

bes@Jdt:5:1 @ Then was it declared to Holofernes, the chief captain of the army of Assur, that the children of Israel had prepared for war, and had shut up the passages of the hill country, and had fortified all the tops of the high hills and had laid impediments in the champaign countries:

bes@Jdt:5:2 @ Wherewith he was very angry, and called all the princes of Moab, and the captains of Ammon, and all the governors of the sea coast,

bes@Jdt:5:3 @ And he said unto them, Tell me now, ye sons of Chanaan, who this people is, that dwelleth in the hill country, and what are the cities that they inhabit, and what is the multitude of their army, and wherein is their power and strength, and what king is set over them, or captain of their army;

bes@Jdt:5:4 @ And why have they determined not to come and meet me, more than all the inhabitants of the west.

bes@Jdt:5:5 @ Then said Achior, the captain of all the sons of Ammon, Let my lord now hear a word from the mouth of thy servant, and I will declare unto thee the truth concerning this people, which dwelleth near thee, and inhabiteth the hill countries: and there shall no lie come out of the mouth of thy servant.

bes@Jdt:5:6 @ This people are descended of the Chaldeans:

bes@Jdt:5:7 @ And they sojourned heretofore in Mesopotamia, because they would not follow the gods of their fathers, which were in the land of Chaldea.

bes@Jdt:5:8 @ For they left the way of their ancestors, and worshipped the God of heaven, the God whom they knew: so they cast them out from the face of their gods, and they fled into Mesopotamia, and sojourned there many days.

bes@Jdt:5:9 @ Then their God commanded them to depart from the place where they sojourned, and to go into the land of Chanaan: where they dwelt, and were increased with gold and silver, and with very much cattle.

bes@Jdt:5:10 @ But when a famine covered all the land of Chanaan, they went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, while they were nourished, and became there a great multitude, so that one could not number their nation.

bes@Jdt:5:11 @ Therefore the king of Egypt rose up against them, and dealt subtilly with them, and brought them low with labouring in brick, and made them slaves.

bes@Jdt:5:12 @ Then they cried unto their God, and he smote all the land of Egypt with incurable plagues: so the Egyptians cast them out of their sight.

bes@Jdt:5:15 @ So they dwelt in the land of the Amorites, and they destroyed by their strength all them of Esebon, and passing over Jordan they possessed all the hill country.

bes@Jdt:5:18 @ But when they departed from the way which he appointed them, they were destroyed in many battles very sore, and were led captives into a land that was not their’s, and the temple of their God was cast to the ground, and their cities were taken by the enemies.

bes@Jdt:5:22 @ And when Achior had finished these sayings, all the people standing round about the tent murmured, and the chief men of Holofernes, and all that dwelt by the sea side, and in Moab, spake that he should kill him.

bes@Jdt:5:23 @ For, say they, we will not be afraid of the face of the children of Israel: for, lo, it is a people that have no strength nor power for a strong battle

bes@Jdt:5:24 @ Now therefore, lord Holofernes, we will go up, and they shall be a prey to be devoured of all thine army.

bes@Jdt:6:1 @ And when the tumult of men that were about the council was ceased, Holofernes the chief captain of the army of Assur said unto Achior and all the Moabites before all the company of other nations,

bes@Jdt:6:2 @ And who art thou, Achior, and the hirelings of Ephraim, that thou hast prophesied against us as to day, and hast said, that we should not make war with the people of Israel, because their God will defend them? and who is God but Nabuchodonosor?

bes@Jdt:6:3 @ He will send his power, and will destroy them from the face of the earth, and their God shall not deliver them: but we his servants will destroy them as one man; for they are not able to sustain the power of our horses.

bes@Jdt:6:4 @ For with them we will tread them under foot, and their mountains shall be drunken with their blood, and their fields shall be filled with their dead bodies, and their footsteps shall not be able to stand before us, for they shall utterly perish, saith king Nabuchodonosor, lord of all the earth: for he said, None of my words shall be in vain.

bes@Jdt:6:5 @ And thou, Achior, an hireling of Ammon, which hast spoken these words in the day of thine iniquity, shalt see my face no more from this day, until I take vengeance of this nation that came out of Egypt.

bes@Jdt:6:6 @ And then shall the sword of mine army, and the multitude of them that serve me, pass through thy sides, and thou shalt fall among their slain, when I return.

bes@Jdt:6:7 @ Now therefore my servants shall bring thee back into the hill country, and shall set thee in one of the cities of the passages:

bes@Jdt:6:9 @ And if thou persuade thyself in thy mind that they shall be taken, let not thy countenance fall: I have spoken it, and none of my words shall be in vain.

bes@Jdt:6:10 @ Then Holofernes commanded his servants, that waited in his tent, to take Achior, and bring him to Bethulia, and deliver him into the hands of the children of Israel.

bes@Jdt:6:11 @ So his servants took him, and brought him out of the camp into the plain, and they went from the midst of the plain into the hill country, and came unto the fountains that were under Bethulia.

bes@Jdt:6:12 @ And when the men of the city saw them, they took up their weapons, and went out of the city to the top of the hill: and every man that used a sling kept them from coming up by casting of stones against them.

bes@Jdt:6:13 @ Nevertheless having gotten privily under the hill, they bound Achior, and cast him down, and left him at the foot of the hill, and returned to their lord.

bes@Jdt:6:14 @ But the Israelites descended from their city, and came unto him, and loosed him, and brought him to Bethulia, and presented him to the governors of the city:

bes@Jdt:6:15 @ Which were in those days Ozias the son of Micha, of the tribe of Simeon, and Chabris the son of Gothoniel, and Charmis the son of Melchiel.

bes@Jdt:6:16 @ And they called together all the ancients of the city, and all their youth ran together, and their women, to the assembly, and they set Achior in the midst of all their people. Then Ozias asked him of that which was done.

bes@Jdt:6:17 @ And he answered and declared unto them the words of the council of Holofernes, and all the words that he had spoken in the midst of the princes of Assur, and whatsoever Holofernes had spoken proudly against the house of Israel.

bes@Jdt:6:19 @ O Lord God of heaven, behold their pride, and pity the low estate of our nation, and look upon the face of those that are sanctified unto thee this day.

bes@Jdt:6:21 @ And Ozias took him out of the assembly unto his house, and made a feast to the elders; and they called on the God of Israel all that night for help.

bes@Jdt:7:1 @ The next day Holofernes commanded all his army, and all his people which were come to take his part, that they should remove their camp against Bethulia, to take aforehand the ascents of the hill country, and to make war against the children of Israel.

bes@Jdt:7:2 @ Then their strong men removed their camps in that day, and the army of the men of war was an hundred and seventy thousand footmen, and twelve thousand horsemen, beside the baggage, and other men that were afoot among them, a very great multitude.

bes@Jdt:7:4 @ Now the children of Israel, when they saw the multitude of them, were greatly troubled, and said every one to his neighbour, Now will these men lick up the face of the earth; for neither the high mountains, nor the valleys, nor the hills, are able to bear their weight.

bes@Jdt:7:5 @ Then every man took up his weapons of war, and when they had kindled fires upon their towers, they remained and watched all that night.

bes@Jdt:7:6 @ But in the second day Holofernes brought forth all his horsemen in the sight of the children of Israel which were in Bethulia,

bes@Jdt:7:7 @ And viewed the passages up to the city, and came to the fountains of their waters, and took them, and set garrisons of men of war over them, and he himself removed toward his people.

bes@Jdt:7:8 @ Then came unto him all the chief of the children of Esau, and all the governors of the people of Moab, and the captains of the sea coast, and said,

bes@Jdt:7:10 @ For this people of the children of Israel do not trust in their spears, but in the height of the mountains wherein they dwell, because it is not easy to come up to the tops of their mountains.

bes@Jdt:7:11 @ Now therefore, my lord, fight not against them in battle array, and there shall not so much as one man of thy people perish.

bes@Jdt:7:12 @ Remain in thy camp, and keep all the men of thine army, and let thy servants get into their hands the fountain of water, which issueth forth of the foot of the mountain:

bes@Jdt:7:13 @ For all the inhabitants of Bethulia have their water thence; so shall thirst kill them, and they shall give up their city, and we and our people shall go up to the tops of the mountains that are near, and will camp upon them, to watch that none go out of the city.

bes@Jdt:7:17 @ So the camp of the children of Ammon departed, and with them five thousand of the Assyrians, and they pitched in the valley, and took the waters, and the fountains of the waters of the children of Israel.

bes@Jdt:7:18 @ Then the children of Esau went up with the children of Ammon, and camped in the hill country over against Dothaim: and they sent some of them toward the south, and toward the east over against Ekrebel, which is near unto Chusi, that is upon the brook Mochmur; and the rest of the army of the Assyrians camped in the plain, and covered the face of the whole land; and their tents and carriages were pitched to a very great multitude.

bes@Jdt:7:19 @ Then the children of Israel cried unto the Lord their God, because their heart failed, for all their enemies had compassed them round about, and there was no way to escape out from among them.

bes@Jdt:7:20 @ Thus all the company of Assur remained about them, both their footmen, chariots, and horsemen, four and thirty days, so that all their vessels of water failed all the inhibitants of Bethulia.

bes@Jdt:7:22 @ Therefore their young children were out of heart, and their women and young men fainted for thirst, and fell down in the streets of the city, and by the passages of the gates, and there was no longer any strength in them.

bes@Jdt:7:23 @ Then all the people assembled to Ozias, and to the chief of the city, both young men, and women, and children, and cried with a loud voice, and said before all the elders,

bes@Jdt:7:24 @ God be judge between us and you: for ye have done us great injury, in that ye have not required peace of the children of Assur.

bes@Jdt:7:26 @ Now therefore call them unto you, and deliver the whole city for a spoil to the people of Holofernes, and to all his army.

bes@Jdt:7:27 @ For it is better for us to be made a spoil unto them, than to die for thirst: for we will be his servants, that our souls may live, and not see the death of our infants before our eyes, nor our wives nor our children to die.

bes@Jdt:7:28 @ We take to witness against you the heaven and the earth, and our God and Lord of our fathers, which punisheth us according to our sins and the sins of our fathers, that he do not according as we have said this day.

bes@Jdt:7:29 @ Then there was great weeping with one consent in the midst of the assembly; and they cried unto the Lord God with a loud voice.

bes@Jdt:7:30 @ Then said Ozias to them, Brethren, be of good courage, let us yet endure five days, in the which space the Lord our God may turn his mercy toward us; for he will not forsake us utterly.

bes@Jdt:7:32 @ And he dispersed the people, every one to their own charge; and they went unto the walls and towers of their city, and sent the women and children into their houses: and they were very low brought in the city.

bes@Jdt:8:1 @ Now at that time Judith heard thereof, which was the daughter of Merari, the son of Ox, the son of Joseph, the son of Ozel, the son of Elcia, the son of Ananias, the son of Gedeon, the son of Raphaim, the son of Acitho, the son of Eliu, the son of Eliab, the son of Nathanael, the son of Samael, the son of Salasadal, the son of Israel.

bes@Jdt:8:2 @ And Manasses was her husband, of her tribe and kindred, who died in the barley harvest.

bes@Jdt:8:3 @ For as he stood overseeing them that bound sheaves in the field, the heat came upon his head, and he fell on his bed, and died in the city of Bethulia: and they buried him with his fathers in the field between Dothaim and Balamo.

bes@Jdt:8:5 @ And she made her a tent upon the top of her house, and put on sackcloth upon her loins and ware her widow’s apparel.

bes@Jdt:8:6 @ And she fasted all the days of her widowhood, save the eves of the sabbaths, and the sabbaths, and the eves of the new moons, and the new moons and the feasts and solemn days of the house of Israel.

bes@Jdt:8:7 @ She was also of a goodly countenance, and very beautiful to behold: and her husband Manasses had left her gold, and silver, and menservants and maidservants, and cattle, and lands; and she remained upon them.

bes@Jdt:8:9 @ Now when she heard the evil words of the people against the governor, that they fainted for lack of water; for Judith had heard all the words that Ozias had spoken unto them, and that he had sworn to deliver the city unto the Assyrians after five days;

bes@Jdt:8:10 @ Then she sent her waitingwoman, that had the government of all things that she had, to call Ozias and Chabris and Charmis, the ancients of the city.

bes@Jdt:8:11 @ And they came unto her, and she said unto them, Hear me now, O ye governors of the inhabitants of Bethulia: for your words that ye have spoken before the people this day are not right, touching this oath which ye made and pronounced between God and you, and have promised to deliver the city to our enemies, unless within these days the Lord turn to help you.

bes@Jdt:8:12 @ And now who are ye that have tempted God this day, and stand instead of God among the children of men?

bes@Jdt:8:14 @ For ye cannot find the depth of the heart of man, neither can ye perceive the things that he thinketh: then how can ye search out God, that hath made all these things, and know his mind, or comprehend his purpose? Nay, my brethren, provoke not the Lord our God to anger.

bes@Jdt:8:16 @ Do not bind the counsels of the Lord our God: for God is not as man, that he may be threatened; neither is he as the son of man, that he should be wavering.

bes@Jdt:8:17 @ Therefore let us wait for salvation of him, and call upon him to help us, and he will hear our voice, if it please him.

bes@Jdt:8:20 @ But we know none other god, therefore we trust that he will not dispise us, nor any of our nation.

bes@Jdt:8:22 @ And the slaughter of our brethren, and the captivity of the country, and the desolation of our inheritance, will he turn upon our heads among the Gentiles, wheresoever we shall be in bondage; and we shall be an offence and a reproach to all them that possess us.

bes@Jdt:8:26 @ Remember what things he did to Abraham, and how he tried Isaac, and what happened to Jacob in Mesopotamia of Syria, when he kept the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother.

bes@Jdt:8:27 @ For he hath not tried us in the fire, as he did them, for the examination of their hearts, neither hath he taken vengeance on us: but the Lord doth scourge them that come near unto him, to admonish them.

bes@Jdt:8:29 @ For this is not the first day wherein thy wisdom is manifested; but from the beginning of thy days all the people have known thy understanding, because the disposition of thine heart is good.

bes@Jdt:8:32 @ Then said Judith unto them, Hear me, and I will do a thing, which shall go throughout all generations to the children of our nation.

bes@Jdt:8:34 @ But enquire not ye of mine act: for I will not declare it unto you, till the things be finished that I do.

bes@Jdt:9:1 @ Judith fell upon her face, and put ashes upon her head, and uncovered the sackcloth wherewith she was clothed; and about the time that the incense of that evening was offered in Jerusalem in the house of the Lord Judith cried with a loud voice, and said,

bes@Jdt:9:2 @ O Lord God of my father Simeon, to whom thou gavest a sword to take vengeance of the strangers, who loosened the girdle of a maid to defile her, and discovered the thigh to her shame, and polluted her virginity to her reproach; for thou saidst, It shall not be so; and yet they did so:

bes@Jdt:9:4 @ And hast given their wives for a prey, and their daughters to be captives, and all their spoils to be divided among thy dear children; which were moved with thy zeal, and abhorred the pollution of their blood, and called upon thee for aid: O God, O my God, hear me also a widow.

bes@Jdt:9:7 @ For, behold, the Assyrians are multiplied in their power; they are exalted with horse and man; they glory in the strength of their footmen; they trust in shield, and spear, and bow, and sling; and know not that thou art the Lord that breakest the battles: the Lord is thy name.

bes@Jdt:9:8 @ Throw down their strength in thy power, and bring down their force in thy wrath: for they have purposed to defile thy sanctuary, and to pollute the tabernacle where thy glorious name resteth and to cast down with sword the horn of thy altar.

bes@Jdt:9:10 @ Smite by the deceit of my lips the servant with the prince, and the prince with the servant: break down their stateliness by the hand of a woman.

bes@Jdt:9:11 @ For thy power standeth not in multitude nor thy might in strong men: for thou art a God of the afflicted, an helper of the oppressed, an upholder of the weak, a protector of the forlorn, a saviour of them that are without hope.

bes@Jdt:9:12 @ I pray thee, I pray thee, O God of my father, and God of the inheritance of Israel, Lord of the heavens and earth, Creator of the waters, king of every creature, hear thou my prayer:

bes@Jdt:9:13 @ And make my speech and deceit to be their wound and stripe, who have purposed cruel things against thy covenant, and thy hallowed house, and against the top of Sion, and against the house of the possession of thy children.

bes@Jdt:9:14 @ And make every nation and tribe to acknowledge that thou art the God of all power and might, and that there is none other that protecteth the people of Israel but thou.

bes@Jdt:10:1 @ Now after that she had ceased to cry unto the God of Israel, and bad made an end of all these words.

bes@Jdt:10:3 @ And pulled off the sackcloth which she had on, and put off the garments of her widowhood, and washed her body all over with water, and anointed herself with precious ointment, and braided the hair of her head, and put on a tire upon it, and put on her garments of gladness, wherewith she was clad during the life of Manasses her husband.

bes@Jdt:10:4 @ And she took sandals upon her feet, and put about her her bracelets, and her chains, and her rings, and her earrings, and all her ornaments, and decked herself bravely, to allure the eyes of all men that should see her.

bes@Jdt:10:5 @ Then she gave her maid a bottle of wine, and a cruse of oil, and filled a bag with parched corn, and lumps of figs, and with fine bread; so she folded all these things together, and laid them upon her.

bes@Jdt:10:6 @ Thus they went forth to the gate of the city of Bethulia, and found standing there Ozias and the ancients of the city, Chabris and Charmis.

bes@Jdt:10:8 @ The God, the God of our fathers give thee favour, and accomplish thine enterprizes to the glory of the children of Israel, and to the exaltation of Jerusalem. Then they worshipped God.

bes@Jdt:10:9 @ And she said unto them, Command the gates of the city to be opened unto me, that I may go forth to accomplish the things whereof ye have spoken with me. So they commanded the young men to open unto her, as she had spoken.

bes@Jdt:10:10 @ And when they had done so, Judith went out, she, and her maid with her; and the men of the city looked after her, until she was gone down the mountain, and till she had passed the valley, and could see her no more.

bes@Jdt:10:12 @...her, and asked her, Of what...

bes@Jdt:10:13 @ And I am coming before Holofernes the chief captain of your army, to declare words of truth; and I will shew him a way, whereby he shall go, and win all the hill country, without losing the body or life of any one of his men.

bes@Jdt:10:18 @ Then was there a concourse throughout all the camp: for her coming was noised among the tents, and they came about her, as she stood without the tent of Holofernes, till they told him of her.

bes@Jdt:10:19 @ And they wondered at her beauty, and admired the children of Israel because of her, and every one said to his neighbour, Who would despise this people, that have among them such women? surely it is not good that one man of them be left who being let go might deceive the whole earth.

bes@Jdt:10:22 @ So they shewed him of her; and he came out before his tent with silver lamps going before him.

bes@Jdt:10:23 @ And when Judith was come before him and his servants they all marvelled at the beauty of her countenance; and she fell down upon her face, and did reverence unto him: and his servants took her up.

bes@Jdt:11:1 @ Then said Holofernes unto her, Woman, be of good comfort, fear not in thine heart: for I never hurt any that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor, the king of all the earth.

bes@Jdt:11:3 @ But now tell me wherefore thou art fled from them, and art come unto us: for thou art come for safeguard; be of good comfort, thou shalt live this night, and hereafter:

bes@Jdt:11:4 @ For none shall hurt thee, but entreat thee well, as they do the servants of king Nabuchodonosor my lord.

bes@Jdt:11:5 @ Then Judith said unto him, Receive the words of thy servant, and suffer thine handmaid to speak in thy presence, and I will declare no lie to my lord this night.

bes@Jdt:11:6 @ And if thou wilt follow the words of thine handmaid, God will bring the thing perfectly to pass by thee; and my lord shall not fail of his purposes.

bes@Jdt:11:7 @ As Nabuchodonosor king of all the earth liveth, and as his power liveth, who hath sent thee for the upholding of every living thing: for not only men shall serve him by thee, but also the beasts of the field, and the cattle, and the fowls of the air, shall live by thy power under Nabuchodonosor and all his house.

bes@Jdt:11:8 @ For we have heard of thy wisdom and thy policies, and it is reported in all the earth, that thou only art excellent in all the kingdom, and mighty in knowledge, and wonderful in feats of war.

bes@Jdt:11:9 @ Now as concerning the matter, which Achior did speak in thy council, we have heard his words; for the men of Bethulia saved him, and he declared unto them all that he had spoken unto thee.

bes@Jdt:11:11 @ And now, that my lord be not defeated and frustrate of his purpose, even death is now fallen upon them, and their sin hath overtaken them, wherewith they will provoke their God to anger whensoever they shall do that which is not fit to be done:

bes@Jdt:11:13 @ And are resolved to spend the firstfruits of the the tenths of wine and oil, which they had sanctified, and reserved for the priests that serve in Jerusalem before the face of our God; the which things it is not lawful for any of the people so much as to touch with their hands.

bes@Jdt:11:17 @ For thy servant is religious, and serveth the God of heaven day and night: now therefore, my lord, I will remain with thee, and thy servant will go out by night into the valley, and I will pray unto God, and he will tell me when they have committed their sins:

bes@Jdt:11:18 @ And I will come and shew it unto thee: then thou shalt go forth with all thine army, and there shall be none of them that shall resist thee.

bes@Jdt:11:19 @ And I will lead thee through the midst of Judea, until thou come before Jerusalem; and I will set thy throne in the midst thereof; and thou shalt drive them as sheep that have no shepherd, and a dog shall not so much as open his mouth at thee: for these things were told me according to my foreknowledge, and they were declared unto me, and I am sent to tell thee.

bes@Jdt:11:21 @ There is not such a woman from one end of the earth to the other, both for beauty of face, and wisdom of words.

bes@Jdt:11:23 @ And now thou art both beautiful in thy countenance, and witty in thy words: surely if thou do as thou hast spoken thy God shall be my God, and thou shalt dwell in the house of king Nabuchodonosor, and shalt be renowned through the whole earth.

bes@Jdt:12:1 @ Then he commanded to bring her in where his plate was set; and bade that they should prepare for her of his own meats, and that she should drink of his own wine.

bes@Jdt:12:2 @ And Judith said, I will not eat thereof, lest there be an offence: but provision shall be made for me of the things that I have brought.

bes@Jdt:12:3 @ Then Holofernes said unto her, If thy provision should fail, how should we give thee the like? for there be none with us of thy nation.

bes@Jdt:12:5 @ Then the servants of Holofernes brought her into the tent, and she slept till midnight, and she arose when it was toward the morning watch,

bes@Jdt:12:7 @ Then Holofernes commanded his guard that they should not stay her: thus she abode in the camp three days, and went out in the night into the valley of Bethulia, and washed herself in a fountain of water by the camp.

bes@Jdt:12:8 @ And when she came out, she besought the Lord God of Israel to direct her way to the raising up of the children of her people.

bes@Jdt:12:10 @ And in the fourth day Holofernes made a feast to his own servants only, and called none of the officers to the banquet.

bes@Jdt:12:13 @ Then went Bagoas from the presence of Holofernes, and came to her, and he said, Let not this fair damsel fear to come to my lord, and to be honoured in his presence, and drink wine, and be merry with us and be made this day as one of the daughters of the Assyrians, which serve in the house of Nabuchodonosor.

bes@Jdt:12:14 @ Then said Judith unto him, Who am I now, that I should gainsay my lord? surely whatsoever pleaseth him I will do speedily, and it shall be my joy unto the day of my death.

bes@Jdt:12:15 @ So she arose, and decked herself with her apparel and all her woman’s attire, and her maid went and laid soft skins on the ground for her over against Holofernes, which she had received of Bagoas for her daily use, that she might sit and eat upon them.

bes@Jdt:13:1 @ Now when the evening was come, his servants made haste to depart, and Bagoas shut his tent without, and dismissed the waiters from the presence of his lord; and they went to their beds: for they were all weary, because the feast had been long.

bes@Jdt:13:4 @ So all went forth and none was left in the bedchamber, neither little nor great. Then Judith, standing by his bed, said in her heart, O Lord God of all power, look at this present upon the works of mine hands for the exaltation of Jerusalem.

bes@Jdt:13:5 @ For now is the time to help thine inheritance, and to execute thine enterprizes to the destruction of the enemies which are risen against us.

bes@Jdt:13:6 @ Then she came to the pillar of the bed, which was at Holofernes’ head, and took down his fauchion from thence,

bes@Jdt:13:7 @ And approached to his bed, and took hold of the hair of his head, and said, Strengthen me, O Lord God of Israel, this day.

bes@Jdt:13:10 @ And she put it in her bag of meat: so they twain went together according to their custom unto prayer: and when they passed the camp, they compassed the valley, and went up the mountain of Bethulia, and came to the gates thereof.

bes@Jdt:13:12 @ Now when the men of her city heard her voice, they made haste to go down to the gate of their city, and they called the elders of the city.

bes@Jdt:13:14 @ Then she said to them with a loud voice, Praise, praise God, praise God, I say, for he hath not taken away his mercy from the house of Israel, but hath destroyed our enemies by mine hands this night.

bes@Jdt:13:15 @ So she took the head out of the bag, and shewed it, and said unto them, behold the head of Holofernes, the chief captain of the army of Assur, and behold the canopy, wherein he did lie in his drunkenness; and the Lord hath smitten him by the hand of a woman.

bes@Jdt:13:17 @ Then all the people were wonderfully astonished, and bowed themselves and worshipped God, and said with one accord, Blessed be thou, O our God, which hast this day brought to nought the enemies of thy people.

bes@Jdt:13:18 @ Then said Ozias unto her, O daughter, blessed art thou of the most high God above all the women upon the earth; and blessed be the Lord God, which hath created the heavens and the earth, which hath directed thee to the cutting off of the head of the chief of our enemies.

bes@Jdt:13:19 @ For this thy confidence shall not depart from the heart of men, which remember the power of God for ever.

bes@Jdt:13:20 @ And God turn these things to thee for a perpetual praise, to visit thee in good things because thou hast not spared thy life for the affliction of our nation, but hast revenged our ruin, walking a straight way before our God. And all the people said; So be it, so be it.

bes@Jdt:14:1 @ Then said Judith unto them, Hear me now, my brethren, and take this head, and hang it upon the highest place of your walls.

bes@Jdt:14:2 @ And so soon as the morning shall appear, and the sun shall come forth upon the earth, take ye every one his weapons, and go forth every valiant man out of the city, and set ye a captain over them, as though ye would go down into the field toward the watch of the Assyrians; but go not down.

bes@Jdt:14:3 @ Then they shall take their armour, and shall go into their camp, and raise up the captains of the army of Assur, and shall run to the tent of Holofernes, but shall not find him: then fear shall fall upon them, and they shall flee before your face.

bes@Jdt:14:4 @ So ye, and all that inhabit the coast of Israel, shall pursue them, and overthrow them as they go.

bes@Jdt:14:5 @ But before ye do these things, call me Achior the Ammonite, that he may see and know him that despised the house of Israel, and that sent him to us as it were to his death.

bes@Jdt:14:6 @ Then they called Achior out of the house of Ozias; and when he was come, and saw the head of Holofernes in a man’s hand in the assembly of the people, he fell down on his face, and his spirit failed.

bes@Jdt:14:7 @ But when they had recovered him, he fell at Judith’s feet, and reverenced her, and said, Blessed art thou in all the tabernacles of Juda, and in all nations, which hearing thy name shall be astonished.

bes@Jdt:14:8 @ Now therefore tell me all the things that thou hast done in these days. Then Judith declared unto him in the midst of the people all that she had done, from the day that she went forth until that hour she spake unto them.

bes@Jdt:14:10 @ And when Achior had seen all that the God of Israel had done, he believed in God greatly, and circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, and was joined unto the house of Israel unto this day.

bes@Jdt:14:11 @ And as soon as the morning arose, they hanged the head of Holofernes upon the wall, and every man took his weapons, and they went forth by bands unto the straits of the mountain.

bes@Jdt:14:12 @ But when the Assyrians saw them, they sent to their leaders, which came to their captains and tribunes, and to every one of their rulers.

bes@Jdt:14:13 @ So they came to Holofernes’ tent, and said to him that had the charge of all his things, Waken now our lord: for the slaves have been bold to come down against us to battle, that they may be utterly destroyed.

bes@Jdt:14:14 @ Then went in Bagoas, and knocked at the door of the tent; for he thought that he had slept with Judith.

bes@Jdt:14:18 @ These slaves have dealt treacherously; one woman of the Hebrews hath brought shame upon the house of king Nabuchodonosor: for, behold, Holofernes lieth upon the ground without a head.

bes@Jdt:14:19 @ When the captains of the Assyrians’ army heard these words, they rent their coats and their minds were wonderfully troubled, and there was a cry and a very great noise throughout the camp.

bes@Jdt:15:2 @ And fear and trembling fell upon them, so that there was no man that durst abide in the sight of his neighbour, but rushing out all together, they fled into every way of the plain, and of the hill country.

bes@Jdt:15:3 @ They also that had camped in the mountains round about Bethulia fled away. Then the children of Israel, every one that was a warrior among them, rushed out upon them.

bes@Jdt:15:4 @ Then sent Ozias to Betomasthem, and to Bebai, and Chobai, and Cola and to all the coasts of Israel, such as should tell the things that were done, and that all should rush forth upon their enemies to destroy them.

bes@Jdt:15:5 @ Now when the children of Israel heard it, they all fell upon them with one consent, and slew them unto Chobai: likewise also they that came from Jerusalem, and from all the hill country, (for men had told them what things were done in the camp of their enemies) and they that were in Galaad, and in Galilee, chased them with a great slaughter, until they were past Damascus and the borders thereof.

bes@Jdt:15:6 @ And the residue that dwelt at Bethulia, fell upon the camp of Assur, and spoiled them, and were greatly enriched.

bes@Jdt:15:7 @ And the children of Israel that returned from the slaughter had that which remained; and the villages and the cities, that were in the mountains and in the plain, gat many spoils: for the multitude was very great.

bes@Jdt:15:8 @ Then Joacim the high priest, and the ancients of the children of Israel that dwelt in Jerusalem, came to behold the good things that God had shewed to Israel, and to see Judith, and to salute her.

bes@Jdt:15:9 @ And when they came unto her, they blessed her with one accord, and said unto her, Thou art the exaltation of Jerusalem, thou art the great glory of Israel, thou art the great rejoicing of our nation:

bes@Jdt:15:10 @ Thou hast done all these things by thine hand: thou hast done much good to Israel, and God is pleased therewith: blessed be thou of the Almighty Lord for evermore. And all the people said, So be it.

bes@Jdt:15:11 @ And the people spoiled the camp the space of thirty days: and they gave unto Judith Holofernes his tent, and all his plate, and beds, and vessels, and all his stuff: and she took it and laid it on her mule; and made ready her carts, and laid them thereon.

bes@Jdt:15:12 @ Then all the women of Israel ran together to see her, and blessed her, and made a dance among them for her: and she took branches in her hand, and gave also to the women that were with her.

bes@Jdt:15:13 @ And they put a garland of olive upon her and her maid that was with her, and she went before all the people in the dance, leading all the women: and all the men of Israel followed in their armour with garlands, and with songs in their mouths.

bes@Jdt:16:1 @ Then Judith began to sing this thanksgiving in all Israel, and all the people sang after her this song of praise.

bes@Jdt:16:3 @ For God breaketh the battles: for among the camps in the midst of the people he hath delivered me out of the hands of them that persecuted me.

bes@Jdt:16:4 @ Assur came out of the mountains from the north, he came with ten thousands of his army, the multitude whereof stopped the torrents, and their horsemen have covered the hills.

bes@Jdt:16:6 @ But the Almighty Lord hath disappointed them by the hand of a woman.

bes@Jdt:16:7 @ For the mighty one did not fall by the young men, neither did the sons of the Titans smite him, nor high giants set upon him: but Judith the daughter of Merari weakened him with the beauty of her countenance.

bes@Jdt:16:8 @ For she put off the garment of her widowhood for the exaltation of those that were oppressed in Israel, and anointed her face with ointment, and bound her hair in a tire, and took a linen garment to deceive him.

bes@Jdt:16:12 @ The sons of the damsels have pierced them through, and wounded them as fugatives’ children: they perished by the battle of the Lord.

bes@Jdt:16:17 @ Woe to the nations that rise up against my kindred! the Lord Almighty will take vengeance of them in the day of judgement, in putting fire and worms in their flesh; and they shall feel them, and weep for ever.

bes@Jdt:16:19 @ Judith also dedicated all the stuff of Holofernes, which the people had given her, and gave the canopy, which she had taken out of his bedchamber, for a gift unto the Lord.

bes@Jdt:16:20 @ So the people continued feasting in Jerusalem before the sanctuary for the space of three months and Judith remained with them.

bes@Jdt:16:22 @ And many desired her, but none knew her all the days of her life, after that Manasses her husband was dead, and was gathered to his people.

bes@Jdt:16:23 @ But she increased more and more in honour, and waxed old in her husband’s house, being an hundred and five years old, and made her maid free; so she died in Bethulia: and they buried her in the cave of her husband Manasses.

bes@Jdt:16:24 @ And the house of Israel lamented her seven days: and before she died, she did distribute her goods to all them that were nearest of kindred to Manasses her husband, and to them that were the nearest of her kindred.

bes@Jdt:16:25 @ And there was none that made the children of Israel any more afraid in the days of Judith, nor a long time after her death.

bes@Wis:1:1 @ Love righteousness, ye that be judges of the earth: think of the Lord with a good (heart,) and in simplicity of heart seek him.

bes@Wis:1:2 @ For he will be found of them that tempt him not; and sheweth himself unto such as do not distrust him.

bes@Wis:1:5 @ For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and remove from thoughts that are without understanding, and will not abide when unrighteousness cometh in.

bes@Wis:1:6 @ For wisdom is a loving spirit; and will not acquit a blasphemer of his words: for God is witness of his reins, and a true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.

bes@Wis:1:7 @ For the Spirit of the Lord filleth the world: and that which containeth all things hath knowledge of the voice.

bes@Wis:1:9 @ For inquisition shall be made into the counsels of the ungodly: and the sound of his words shall come unto the Lord for the manifestation of his wicked deeds.

bes@Wis:1:10 @ For the ear of jealousy heareth all things: and the noise of murmurings is not hid.

bes@Wis:1:11 @ Therefore beware of murmuring, which is unprofitable; and refrain your tongue from backbiting: for there is no word so secret, that shall go for nought: and the mouth that belieth slayeth the soul.

bes@Wis:1:12 @ Seek not death in the error of your life: and pull not upon yourselves destruction with the works of your hands.

bes@Wis:1:13 @ For God made not death: neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living.

bes@Wis:1:14 @ For he created all things, that they might have their being: and the generations of the world were healthful; and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom of death upon the earth:

bes@Wis:2:1 @ For the ungodly said, reasoning with themselves, but not aright, Our life is short and tedious, and in the death of a man there is no remedy: neither was there any man known to have returned from the grave.

bes@Wis:2:2 @ For we are born at all adventure: and we shall be hereafter as though we had never been: for the breath in our nostrils is as smoke, and a little spark in the moving of our heart:

bes@Wis:2:4 @ And our name shall be forgotten in time, and no man shall have our works in remembrance, and our life shall pass away as the trace of a cloud, and shall be dispersed as a mist, that is driven away with the beams of the sun, and overcome with the heat thereof.

bes@Wis:2:7 @ Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and ointments: and let no flower of the spring pass by us:

bes@Wis:2:9 @ Let none of us go without his part of our voluptuousness: let us leave tokens of our joyfulness in every place: for this is our portion, and our lot is this.

bes@Wis:2:10 @ Let us oppress the poor righteous man, let us not spare the widow, nor reverence the ancient gray hairs of the aged.

bes@Wis:2:11 @ Let our strength be the law of justice: for that which is feeble is found to be nothing worth.

bes@Wis:2:12 @ Therefore let us lie in wait for the righteous; because he is not for our turn, and he is clean contrary to our doings: he upbraideth us with our offending the law, and objecteth to our infamy the transgressings of our education.

bes@Wis:2:13 @ He professeth to have the knowledge of God: and he calleth himself the child of the Lord.

bes@Wis:2:15 @ He is grievous unto us even to behold: for his life is not like other men’s, his ways are of another fashion.

bes@Wis:2:16 @ We are esteemed of him as counterfeits: he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness: he pronounceth the end of the just to be blessed, and maketh his boast that God is his father.

bes@Wis:2:17 @ Let us see if his words be true: and let us prove what shall happen in the end of him.

bes@Wis:2:18 @ For if the just man be the son of God, he will help him, and deliver him from the hand of his enemies.

bes@Wis:2:22 @ As for the mysteries of God, they knew them not: neither hoped they for the wages of righteousness, nor discerned a reward for blameless souls.

bes@Wis:2:23 @ For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity.

bes@Wis:2:24 @ Nevertheless through envy of the devil came death into the world: and they that do hold of his side do find it.

bes@Wis:3:1 @ But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them.

bes@Wis:3:2 @ In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery,

bes@Wis:3:4 @ For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their hope full of immortality.

bes@Wis:3:7 @ And in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks among the stubble.

bes@Wis:3:13 @ Their offspring is cursed. Wherefore blessed is the barren that is undefiled, which hath not known the sinful bed: she shall have fruit in the visitation of souls.

bes@Wis:3:14 @ And blessed is the eunuch, which with his hands hath wrought no iniquity, nor imagined wicked things against God: for unto him shall be given the special gift of faith, and an inheritance in the temple of the Lord more acceptable to his mind.

bes@Wis:3:15 @ For glorious is the fruit of good labours: and the root of wisdom shall never fall away.

bes@Wis:3:16 @ As for the children of adulterers, they shall not come to their perfection, and the seed of an unrighteous bed shall be rooted out.

bes@Wis:3:18 @ Or, if they die quickly, they have no hope, neither comfort in the day of trial.

bes@Wis:3:19 @ For horrible is the end of the unrighteous generation.

bes@Wis:4:3 @ But the multiplying brood of the ungodly shall not thrive, nor take deep rooting from bastard slips, nor lay any fast foundation.

bes@Wis:4:4 @ For though they flourish in branches for a time; yet standing not last, they shall be shaken with the wind, and through the force of winds they shall be rooted out.

bes@Wis:4:6 @ For children begotten of unlawful beds are witnesses of wickedness against their parents in their trial.

bes@Wis:4:8 @ For honourable age is not that which standeth in length of time, nor that is measured by number of years.

bes@Wis:4:10 @ He pleased God, and was beloved of him: so that living among sinners he was translated.

bes@Wis:4:12 @ For the bewitching of naughtiness doth obscure things that are honest; and the wandering of concupiscence doth undermine the simple mind.

bes@Wis:4:16 @ Thus the righteous that is dead shall condemn the ungodly which are living; and youth that is soon perfected the many years and old age of the unrighteous.

bes@Wis:4:17 @ For they shall see the end of the wise, and shall not understand what God in his counsel hath decreed of him, and to what end the Lord hath set him in safety.

bes@Wis:4:20 @ And when they cast up the accounts of their sins, they shall come with fear: and their own iniquities shall convince them to their face.

bes@Wis:5:1 @ Then shall the righteous man stand in great boldness before the face of such as have afflicted him, and made no account of his labours.

bes@Wis:5:2 @ When they see it, they shall be troubled with terrible fear, and shall be amazed at the strangeness of his salvation, so far beyond all that they looked for.

bes@Wis:5:3 @ And they repenting and groaning for anguish of spirit shall say within themselves, This was he, whom we had sometimes in derision, and a proverb of reproach:

bes@Wis:5:5 @ How is he numbered among the children of God, and his lot is among the saints!

bes@Wis:5:6 @ Therefore have we erred from the way of truth, and the light of righteousness hath not shined unto us, and the sun of righteousness rose not upon us.

bes@Wis:5:7 @ We wearied ourselves in the way of wickedness and destruction: yea, we have gone through deserts, where there lay no way: but as for the way of the Lord, we have not known it.

bes@Wis:5:10 @ And as a ship that passeth over the waves of the water, which when it is gone by, the trace thereof cannot be found, neither the pathway of the keel in the waves;

bes@Wis:5:11 @ Or as when a bird hath flown through the air, there is no token of her way to be found, but the light air being beaten with the stroke of her wings and parted with the violent noise and motion of them, is passed through, and therein afterwards no sign where she went is to be found;

bes@Wis:5:13 @ Even so we in like manner, as soon as we were born, began to draw to our end, and had no sign of virtue to shew; but were consumed in our own wickedness.

bes@Wis:5:14 @ For the hope of the ungodly is like dust that is blown away with the wind; like a thin froth that is driven away with the storm; like as the smoke which is dispersed here and there with a tempest, and passeth away as the remembrance of a guest that tarrieth but a day.

bes@Wis:5:15 @ But the righteous live for evermore; their reward also is with the Lord, and the care of them is with the most High.

bes@Wis:5:17 @ He shall take to him his jealousy for complete armour, and make the creature his weapon for the revenge of his enemies.

bes@Wis:5:18 @ He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate, and true judgement instead of an helmet.

bes@Wis:5:22 @ And hailstones full of wrath shall be cast as out of a stone bow, and the water of the sea shall rage against them, and the floods shall cruelly drown them.

bes@Wis:5:23 @ Yea, a mighty wind shall stand up against them, and like a storm shall blow them away: thus iniquity shall lay waste the whole earth, and ill dealing shall overthrow the thrones of the mighty.

bes@Wis:6:1 @ Hear therefore, O ye kings, and understand; learn, ye that be judges of the ends of the earth.

bes@Wis:6:2 @ Give ear, ye that rule the people, and glory in the multitude of nations.

bes@Wis:6:3 @ For power is given you of the Lord, and sovereignty from the Highest, who shall try your works, and search out your counsels.

bes@Wis:6:4 @ Because, being ministers of his kingdom, ye have not judged aright, nor kept the law, nor walked after the counsel of God;

bes@Wis:6:7 @ For he which is Lord over all shall fear no man’s person, neither shall he stand in awe of any man’s greatness: for he hath made the small and great, and careth for all alike.

bes@Wis:6:12 @ Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away: yea, she is easily seen of them that love her, and found of such as seek her.

bes@Wis:6:15 @ To think therefore upon her is perfection of wisdom: and whoso watcheth for her shall quickly be without care.

bes@Wis:6:16 @ For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her, sheweth herself favourably unto them in the ways, and meeteth them in every thought.

bes@Wis:6:17 @ For the very true beginning of her is the desire of discipline; and the care of discipline is love;

bes@Wis:6:18 @ And love is the keeping of her laws; and the giving heed unto her laws is the assurance of incorruption;

bes@Wis:6:20 @ Therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom.

bes@Wis:6:21 @ If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, honour wisdom, that ye may reign for evermore.

bes@Wis:6:22 @ As for wisdom, what she is, and how she came up, I will tell you, and will not hide mysteries from you: but will seek her out from the beginning of her nativity, and bring the knowledge of her into light, and will not pass over the truth.

bes@Wis:6:24 @ But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world: and a wise king is the upholding of the people.

bes@Wis:7:1 @ I myself also am a mortal man, like to all, and the offspring of him that was first made of the earth,

bes@Wis:7:2 @ And in my mother’s womb was fashioned to be flesh in the time of ten months, being compacted in blood, of the seed of man, and the pleasure that came with sleep.

bes@Wis:7:3 @ And when I was born, I drew in the common air, and fell upon the earth, which is of like nature, and the first voice which I uttered was crying, as all others do.

bes@Wis:7:5 @ For there is no king that had any other beginning of birth.

bes@Wis:7:7 @ Wherefore I prayed, and understanding was given me: I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.

bes@Wis:7:8 @ I preferred her before sceptres and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her.

bes@Wis:7:9 @ Neither compared I unto her any precious stone, because all gold in respect of her is as a little sand, and silver shall be counted as clay before her.

bes@Wis:7:10 @ I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for the light that cometh from her never goeth out.

bes@Wis:7:12 @ And I rejoiced in them all, because wisdom goeth before them: and I knew not that she was the mother of them.

bes@Wis:7:14 @ For she is a treasure unto men that never faileth: which they that use become the friends of God, being commended for the gifts that come from learning.

bes@Wis:7:16 @ For in his hand are both we and our words; all wisdom also, and knowledge of workmanship.

bes@Wis:7:17 @ For he hath given me certain knowledge of the things that are, namely, to know how the world was made, and the operation of the elements:

bes@Wis:7:18 @ The beginning, ending, and midst of the times: the alterations of the turning of the sun, and the change of seasons:

bes@Wis:7:19 @ The circuits of years, and the positions of stars:

bes@Wis:7:20 @ The natures of living creatures, and the furies of wild beasts: the violence of winds, and the reasonings of men: the diversities of plants and the virtues of roots:

bes@Wis:7:22 @ For wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught me: for in her is an understanding spirit holy, one only, manifold, subtil, lively, clear, undefiled, plain, not subject to hurt, loving the thing that is good quick, which cannot be letted, ready to do good,

bes@Wis:7:24 @ For wisdom is more moving than any motion: she passeth and goeth through all things by reason of her pureness.

bes@Wis:7:25 @ For she is the breath of the power of God, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty: therefore can no defiled thing fall into her.

bes@Wis:7:26 @ For she is the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of God, and the image of his goodness.

bes@Wis:7:27 @ And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself, she maketh all things new: and in all ages entering into holy souls, she maketh them friends of God, and prophets.

bes@Wis:7:29 @ For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the order of stars: being compared with the light, she is found before it.

bes@Wis:8:2 @ I loved her, and sought her out from my youth, I desired to make her my spouse, and I was a lover of her beauty.

bes@Wis:8:3 @ In that she is conversant with God, she magnifieth her nobility: yea, the Lord of all things himself loved her.

bes@Wis:8:4 @ For she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God, and a lover of his works.

bes@Wis:8:6 @ And if prudence work; who of all that are is a more cunning workman than she?

bes@Wis:8:8 @ If a man desire much experience, she knoweth things of old, and conjectureth aright what is to come: she knoweth the subtilties of speeches, and can expound dark sentences: she foreseeth signs and wonders, and the events of seasons and times.

bes@Wis:8:9 @ Therefore I purposed to take her to me to live with me, knowing that she would be a counsellor of good things, and a comfort in cares and grief.

bes@Wis:8:11 @ I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgement, and shall be admired in the sight of great men.

bes@Wis:8:13 @ Moreover by the means of her I shall obtain immortality, and leave behind me an everlasting memorial to them that come after me.

bes@Wis:8:15 @ Horrible tyrants shall be afraid, when they do but hear of me; I shall be found good among the multitude, and valiant in war.

bes@Wis:8:18 @ And great pleasure it is to have her friendship; and in the works of her hands are infinite riches; and in the exercise of conference with her, prudence; and in talking with her, a good report; I went about seeking how to take her to me.

bes@Wis:8:21 @ Nevertheless, when I perceived that I could not otherwise obtain her, except God gave her me; and that was a point of wisdom also to know whose gift she was; I prayed unto the Lord, and besought him, and with my whole heart I said,

bes@Wis:9:1 @ O God of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with thy word,

bes@Wis:9:5 @ For I thy servant and son of thine handmaid am a feeble person, and of a short time, and too young for the understanding of judgement and laws.

bes@Wis:9:6 @ For though a man be never so perfect among the children of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded.

bes@Wis:9:7 @ Thou hast chosen me to be a king of thy people, and a judge of thy sons and daughters:

bes@Wis:9:8 @ Thou hast commanded me to build a temple upon thy holy mount, and an altar in the city wherein thou dwellest, a resemblance of the holy tabernacle, which thou hast prepared from the beginning.

bes@Wis:9:10 @ O send her out of thy holy heavens, and from the throne of thy glory, that being present she may labour with me, that I may know what is pleasing unto thee.

bes@Wis:9:13 @ For what man is he that can know the counsel of God? or who can think what the will of the Lord is?

bes@Wis:9:14 @ For the thoughts of mortal men are miserable, and our devices are but uncertain.

bes@Wis:9:18 @ For so the ways of them which lived on the earth were reformed, and men were taught the things that are pleasing unto thee, and were saved through wisdom.

bes@Wis:10:1 @ She preserved the first formed father of the world, that was created alone, and brought him out of his fall,

bes@Wis:10:4 @ For whose cause the earth being drowned with the flood, wisdom again preserved it, and directed the course of the righteous in a piece of wood of small value.

bes@Wis:10:7 @ Of whose wickedness even to this day the waste land that smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never come to ripeness: and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an unbelieving soul.

bes@Wis:10:8 @ For regarding not wisdom, they gat not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good; but also left behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness: so that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be hid.

bes@Wis:10:10 @ When the righteous fled from his brother’s wrath she guided him in right paths, shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him knowledge of holy things, made him rich in his travels, and multiplied the fruit of his labours.

bes@Wis:10:11 @ In the covetousness of such as oppressed him she stood by him, and made him rich.

bes@Wis:10:14 @ And left him not in bonds, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: as for them that had accused him, she shewed them to be liars, and gave him perpetual glory.

bes@Wis:10:16 @ She entered into the soul of the servant of the Lord, and withstood dreadful kings in wonders and signs;

bes@Wis:10:17 @ Rendered to the righteous a reward of their labours, guided them in a marvellous way, and was unto them for a cover by day, and a light of stars in the night season;

bes@Wis:10:19 @ But she drowned their enemies, and cast them up out of the bottom of the deep.

bes@Wis:10:21 @ For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and made the tongues of them that cannot speak eloquent.

bes@Wis:11:1 @ She prospered their works in the hand of the holy prophet.

bes@Wis:11:3 @ They stood against their enemies, and were avenged of their adversaries.

bes@Wis:11:4 @ When they were thirsty, they called upon thee, and water was given them out of the flinty rock, and their thirst was quenched out of the hard stone.

bes@Wis:11:6 @ For instead of a fountain of a perpetual running river troubled with foul blood,

bes@Wis:11:7 @ For a manifest reproof of that commandment, whereby the infants were slain, thou gavest unto them abundance of water by a means which they hoped not for:

bes@Wis:11:12 @ For a double grief came upon them, and a groaning for the remembrance of things past.

bes@Wis:11:13 @ For when they heard by their own punishments the other to be benefited, they had some feeling of the Lord.

bes@Wis:11:14 @ For whom they respected with scorn, when he was long before thrown out at the casting forth of the infants, him in the end, when they saw what came to pass, they admired.

bes@Wis:11:15 @ But for the foolish devices of their wickedness, wherewith being deceived they worshipped serpents void of reason, and vile beasts, thou didst send a multitude of unreasonable beasts upon them for vengeance;

bes@Wis:11:17 @ For thy Almighty hand, that made the world of matter without form, wanted not means to send among them a multitude of bears or fierce lions,

bes@Wis:11:18 @ Or unknown wild beasts, full of rage, newly created, breathing out either a fiery vapour, or filthy scents of scattered smoke, or shooting horrible sparkles out of their eyes:

bes@Wis:11:20 @ Yea, and without these might they have fallen down with one blast, being persecuted of vengeance, and scattered abroad through the breath of thy power: but thou hast ordered all things in measure and number and weight.

bes@Wis:11:21 @ For thou canst shew thy great strength at all times when thou wilt; and who may withstand the power of thine arm?

bes@Wis:11:22 @ For the whole world before thee is as a little grain of the balance, yea, as a drop of the morning dew that falleth down upon the earth.

bes@Wis:11:23 @ But thou hast mercy upon all; for thou canst do all things, and winkest at the sins of men, because they should amend.

bes@Wis:11:26 @ But thou sparest all: for they are thine, O Lord, thou lover of souls.

bes@Wis:12:3 @ For it was thy will to destroy by the hands of our fathers both those old inhabitants of thy holy land,

bes@Wis:12:4 @ Whom thou hatedst for doing most odious works of witchcrafts, and wicked sacrifices;

bes@Wis:12:5 @ And also those merciless murderers of children, and devourers of man’s flesh, and the feasts of blood,

bes@Wis:12:6 @ With their priests out of the midst of their idolatrous crew, and the parents, that killed with their own hands souls destitute of help:

bes@Wis:12:7 @ That the land, which thou esteemedst above all other, might receive a worthy colony of God’s children.

bes@Wis:12:8 @ Nevertheless even those thou sparedst as men, and didst send wasps, forerunners of thine host, to destroy them by little and little.

bes@Wis:12:9 @ Not that thou wast unable to bring the ungodly under the hand of the righteous in battle, or to destroy them at once with cruel beasts, or with one rough word:

bes@Wis:12:10 @ But executing thy judgements upon them by little and little, thou gavest them place of repentance, not being ignorant that they were a naughty generation, and that their malice was bred in them, and that their cogitation would never be changed.

bes@Wis:12:11 @ For it was a cursed seed from the beginning; neither didst thou for fear of any man give them pardon for those things wherein they sinned.

bes@Wis:12:16 @ For thy power is the beginning of righteousness, and because thou art the Lord of all, it maketh thee to be gracious unto all.

bes@Wis:12:17 @ For when men will not believe that thou art of a full power, thou shewest thy strength, and among them that know it thou makest their boldness manifest.

bes@Wis:12:19 @ But by such works hast thou taught thy people that the just man should be merciful, and hast made thy children to be of a good hope that thou givest repentance for sins.

bes@Wis:12:20 @ For if thou didst punish the enemies of thy children, and the condemned to death, with such deliberation, giving them time and place, whereby they might be delivered from their malice:

bes@Wis:12:21 @ With how great circumspection didst thou judge thine own sons, unto whose fathers thou hast sworn, and made covenants of good promises?

bes@Wis:12:22 @ Therefore, whereas thou dost chasten us, thou scourgest our enemies a thousand times more, to the intent that, when we judge, we should carefully think of thy goodness, and when we ourselves are judged, we should look for mercy.

bes@Wis:12:24 @ For they went astray very far in the ways of error, and held them for gods, which even among the beasts of their enemies were despised, being deceived, as children of no understanding.

bes@Wis:12:25 @ Therefore unto them, as to children without the use of reason, thou didst send a judgement to mock them.

bes@Wis:12:26 @ But they that would not be reformed by that correction, wherein he dallied with them, shall feel a judgement worthy of God.

bes@Wis:13:1 @ Surely vain are all men by nature, who are ignorant of God, and could not out of the good things that are seen know him that is: neither by considering the works did they acknowledge the workmaster;

bes@Wis:13:2 @ But deemed either fire, or wind, or the swift air, or the circle of the stars, or the violent water, or the lights of heaven, to be the gods which govern the world.

bes@Wis:13:3 @ With whose beauty if they being delighted took them to be gods; let them know how much better the Lord of them is: for the first author of beauty hath created them.

bes@Wis:13:5 @ For by the greatness and beauty of the creatures proportionably the maker of them is seen.

bes@Wis:13:10 @ But miserable are they, and in dead things is their hope, who call them gods, which are the works of men’s hands, gold and silver, to shew art in, and resemblances of beasts, or a stone good for nothing, the work of an ancient hand.

bes@Wis:13:11 @ Now a carpenter that felleth timber, after he hath sawn down a tree meet for the purpose, and taken off all the bark skilfully round about, and hath wrought it handsomely, and made a vessel thereof fit for the service of man’s life;

bes@Wis:13:12 @ And after spending the refuse of his work to dress his meat, hath filled himself;

bes@Wis:13:13 @ And taking the very refuse among those which served to no use, being a crooked piece of wood, and full of knots, hath carved it diligently, when he had nothing else to do, and formed it by the skill of his understanding, and fashioned it to the image of a man;

bes@Wis:13:16 @ For he provided for it that it might not fall, knowing that it was unable to help itself; for it is an image, and hath need of help:

bes@Wis:13:18 @ For health he calleth upon that which is weak: for life prayeth to that which is dead; for aid humbly beseecheth that which hath least means to help: and for a good journey he asketh of that which cannot set a foot forward:

bes@Wis:13:19 @ And for gaining and getting, and for good success of his hands, asketh ability to do of him, that is most unable to do any thing.

bes@Wis:14:1 @ Again, one preparing himself to sail, and about to pass through the raging waves, calleth upon a piece of wood more rotten than the vessel that carrieth him.

bes@Wis:14:2 @ For verily desire of gain devised that, and the workman built it by his skill.

bes@Wis:14:5 @ Nevertheless thou wouldest not that the works of thy wisdom should be idle, and therefore do men commit their lives to a small piece of wood, and passing the rough sea in a weak vessel are saved.

bes@Wis:14:6 @ For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world governed by thy hand escaped in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation.

bes@Wis:14:11 @ Therefore even upon the idols of the Gentiles shall there be a visitation: because in the creature of God they are become an abomination, and stumblingblocks to the souls of men, and a snare to the feet of the unwise.

bes@Wis:14:12 @ For the devising of idols was the beginning of spiritual fornication, and the invention of them the corruption of life.

bes@Wis:14:14 @ For by the vain glory of men they entered into the world, and therefore shall they come shortly to an end.

bes@Wis:14:15 @ For a father afflicted with untimely mourning, when he hath made an image of his child soon taken away, now honoured him as a god, which was then a dead man, and delivered to those that were under him ceremonies and sacrifices.

bes@Wis:14:16 @ Thus in process of time an ungodly custom grown strong was kept as a law, and graven images were worshipped by the commandments of kings.

bes@Wis:14:17 @ Whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt far off, they took the counterfeit of his visage from far, and made an express image of a king whom they honoured, to the end that by this their forwardness they might flatter him that was absent, as if he were present.

bes@Wis:14:18 @ Also the singular diligence of the artificer did help to set forward the ignorant to more superstition.

bes@Wis:14:19 @ For he, peradventure willing to please one in authority, forced all his skill to make the resemblance of the best fashion.

bes@Wis:14:20 @ And so the multitude, allured by the grace of the work, took him now for a god, which a little before was but honoured.

bes@Wis:14:22 @ Moreover this was not enough for them, that they erred in the knowledge of God; but whereas they lived in the great war of ignorance, those so great plagues called they peace.

bes@Wis:14:23 @ For whilst they slew their children in sacrifices, or used secret ceremonies, or made revellings of strange rites;

bes@Wis:14:26 @ Disquieting of good men, forgetfulness of good turns, defiling of souls, changing of kind, disorder in marriages, adultery, and shameless uncleanness.

bes@Wis:14:27 @ For the worshipping of idols not to be named is the beginning, the cause, and the end, of all evil.

bes@Wis:14:30 @ Howbeit for both causes shall they be justly punished: both because they thought not well of God, giving heed unto idols, and also unjustly swore in deceit, despising holiness.

bes@Wis:14:31 @ For it is not the power of them by whom they swear: but it is the just vengeance of sinners, that punisheth always the offence of the ungodly.

bes@Wis:15:3 @ For to know thee is perfect righteousness: yea, to know thy power is the root of immortality.

bes@Wis:15:4 @ For neither did the mischievous invention of men deceive us, nor an image spotted with divers colours, the painter’s fruitless labour;

bes@Wis:15:5 @ The sight whereof enticeth fools to lust after it, and so they desire the form of a dead image, that hath no breath.

bes@Wis:15:6 @ Both they that make them, they that desire them, and they that worship them, are lovers of evil things, and are worthy to have such things to trust upon.

bes@Wis:15:7 @ For the potter, tempering soft earth, fashioneth every vessel with much labour for our service: yea, of the same clay he maketh both the vessels that serve for clean uses, and likewise also all such as serve to the contrary: but what is the use of either sort, the potter himself is the judge.

bes@Wis:15:8 @ And employing his labours lewdly, he maketh a vain god of the same clay, even he which a little before was made of earth himself, and within a little while after returneth to the same, out when his life which was lent him shall be demanded.

bes@Wis:15:10 @ His heart is ashes, his hope is more vile than earth, and his life of less value than clay:

bes@Wis:15:13 @ For this man, that of earthly matter maketh brittle vessels and graven images, knoweth himself to offend above all others.

bes@Wis:15:14 @ And all the enemies of thy people, that hold them in subjection, are most foolish, and are more miserable than very babes.

bes@Wis:15:15 @ For they counted all the idols of the heathen to be gods: which neither have the use of eyes to see, nor noses to draw breath, nor ears to hear, nor fingers of hands to handle; and as for their feet, they are slow to go.

bes@Wis:15:19 @ Neither are they beautiful, so much as to be desired in respect of beasts: but they went without the praise of God and his blessing.

bes@Wis:16:1 @ Therefore by the like were they punished worthily, and by the multitude of beasts tormented.

bes@Wis:16:2 @ Instead of which punishment, dealing graciously with thine own people, thou preparedst for them meat of a strange taste, even quails to stir up their appetite:

bes@Wis:16:3 @ To the end that they, desiring food, might for the ugly sight of the beasts sent among them lothe even that, which they must needs desire; but these, suffering penury for a short space, might be made partakers of a strange taste.

bes@Wis:16:5 @ For when the horrible fierceness of beasts came upon these, and they perished with the stings of crooked serpents, thy wrath endured not for ever:

bes@Wis:16:6 @ But they were troubled for a small season, that they might be admonished, having a sign of salvation, to put them in remembrance of the commandment of thy law.

bes@Wis:16:7 @ For he that turned himself toward it was not saved by the thing that he saw, but by thee, that art the Saviour of all.

bes@Wis:16:9 @ For them the bitings of grasshoppers and flies killed, neither was there found any remedy for their life: for they were worthy to be punished by such.

bes@Wis:16:10 @ But thy sons not the very teeth of venomous dragons overcame: for thy mercy was ever by them, and healed them.

bes@Wis:16:11 @ For they were pricked, that they should remember thy words; and were quickly saved, that not falling into deep forgetfulness, they might be continually mindful of thy goodness.

bes@Wis:16:13 @ For thou hast power of life and death: thou leadest to the gates of hell, and bringest up again.

bes@Wis:16:16 @ For the ungodly, that denied to know thee, were scourged by the strength of thine arm: with strange rains, hails, and showers, were they persecuted, that they could not avoid, and through fire were they consumed.

bes@Wis:16:18 @ For sometime the flame was mitigated, that it might not burn up the beasts that were sent against the ungodly; but themselves might see and perceive that they were persecuted with the judgement of God.

bes@Wis:16:19 @ And at another time it burneth even in the midst of water above the power of fire, that it might destroy the fruits of an unjust land.

bes@Wis:16:21 @ For thy sustenance declared thy sweetness unto thy children, and serving to the appetite of the eater, tempered itself to every man’s liking.

bes@Wis:16:22 @ But snow and ice endured the fire, and melted not, that they might know that fire burning in the hail, and sparkling in the rain, did destroy the fruits of the enemies.

bes@Wis:16:24 @ For the creature that serveth thee, who art the Maker increaseth his strength against the unrighteous for their punishment, and abateth his strength for the benefit of such as put their trust in thee.

bes@Wis:16:25 @ Therefore even then was it altered into all fashions, and was obedient to thy grace, that nourisheth all things, according to the desire of them that had need:

bes@Wis:16:26 @ That thy children, O Lord, whom thou lovest, might know, that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth man: but that it is thy word, which preserveth them that put their trust in thee.

bes@Wis:16:27 @ For that which was not destroyed of the fire, being warmed with a little sunbeam, soon melted away:

bes@Wis:16:29 @ For the hope of the unthankful shall melt away as the winter’s hoar frost, and shall run away as unprofitable water.

bes@Wis:17:2 @ For when unrighteous men thought to oppress the holy nation; they being shut up in their houses, the prisoners of darkness, and fettered with the bonds of a long night, lay there exiled from the eternal providence.

bes@Wis:17:3 @ For while they supposed to lie hid in their secret sins, they were scattered under a dark veil of forgetfulness, being horribly astonished, and troubled with strange apparitions.

bes@Wis:17:4 @ For neither might the corner that held them keep them from fear: but noises as of waters falling down sounded about them, and sad visions appeared unto them with heavy countenances.

bes@Wis:17:5 @ No power of the fire might give them light: neither could the bright flames of the stars endure to lighten that horrible night.

bes@Wis:17:6 @ Only there appeared unto them a fire kindled of itself, very dreadful: for being much terrified, they thought the things which they saw to be worse than the sight they saw not.

bes@Wis:17:7 @ As for the illusions of art magick, they were put down, and their vaunting in wisdom was reproved with disgrace.

bes@Wis:17:8 @ For they, that promised to drive away terrors and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of fear, worthy to be laughed at.

bes@Wis:17:9 @ For though no terrible thing did fear them; yet being scared with beasts that passed by, and hissing of serpents,

bes@Wis:17:10 @ They died for fear, denying that they saw the air, which could of no side be avoided.

bes@Wis:17:12 @ For fear is nothing else but a betraying of the succours which reason offereth.

bes@Wis:17:14 @ But they sleeping the same sleep that night, which was indeed intolerable, and which came upon them out of the bottoms of inevitable hell,

bes@Wis:17:17 @ For whether he were husbandman, or shepherd, or a labourer in the field, he was overtaken, and endured that necessity, which could not be avoided: for they were all bound with one chain of darkness.

bes@Wis:17:18 @ Whether it were a whistling wind, or a melodious noise of birds among the spreading branches, or a pleasing fall of water running violently,

bes@Wis:17:19 @ Or a terrible sound of stones cast down, or a running that could not be seen of skipping beasts, or a roaring voice of most savage wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the hollow mountains; these things made them to swoon for fear.

bes@Wis:17:21 @ Over them only was spread an heavy night, an image of that darkness which should afterward receive them: but yet were they unto themselves more grievous than the darkness.

bes@Wis:18:2 @ But for that they did not hurt them now, of whom they had been wronged before, they thanked them, and besought them pardon for that they had been enemies.

bes@Wis:18:3 @ Instead whereof thou gavest them a burning pillar of fire, both to be a guide of the unknown journey, and an harmless sun to entertain them honourably.

bes@Wis:18:4 @ For they were worthy to be deprived of light and imprisoned in darkness, who had kept thy sons shut up, by whom the uncorrupt light of the law was to be given unto the world.

bes@Wis:18:5 @ And when they had determined to slay the babes of the saints, one child being cast forth, and saved, to reprove them, thou tookest away the multitude of their children, and destroyedst them altogether in a mighty water.

bes@Wis:18:6 @ Of that night were our fathers certified afore, that assuredly knowing unto what oaths they had given credence, they might afterwards be of good cheer.

bes@Wis:18:7 @ So of thy people was accepted both the salvation of the righteous, and destruction of the enemies.

bes@Wis:18:9 @ For the righteous children of good men did sacrifice secretly, and with one consent made a holy law, that the saints should be like partakers of the same good and evil, the fathers now singing out the songs of praise.

bes@Wis:18:10 @ But on the other side there sounded an ill according cry of the enemies, and a lamentable noise was carried abroad for children that were bewailed.

bes@Wis:18:12 @ So they all together had innumerable dead with one kind of death; neither were the living sufficient to bury them: for in one moment the noblest offspring of them was destroyed.

bes@Wis:18:13 @ For whereas they would not believe any thing by reason of the enchantments; upon the destruction of the firstborn, they acknowledged this people to be the sons of God.

bes@Wis:18:14 @ For while all things were in quiet silence, and that night was in the midst of her swift course,

bes@Wis:18:15 @ Thine Almighty word leaped down from heaven out of thy royal throne, as a fierce man of war into the midst of a land of destruction,

bes@Wis:18:17 @ Then suddenly visions of horrible dreams troubled them sore, and terrors came upon them unlooked for.

bes@Wis:18:18 @ And one thrown here, and another there, half dead, shewed the cause of his death.

bes@Wis:18:20 @ Yea, the tasting of death touched the righteous also, and there was a destruction of the multitude in the wilderness: but the wrath endured not long.

bes@Wis:18:21 @ For then the blameless man made haste, and stood forth to defend them; and bringing the shield of his proper ministry, even prayer, and the propitiation of incense, set himself against the wrath, and so brought the calamity to an end, declaring that he was thy servant.

bes@Wis:18:22 @ So he overcame the destroyer, not with strength of body, nor force of arms, but with a word subdued him that punished, alleging the oaths and covenants made with the fathers.

bes@Wis:18:24 @ For in the long garment was the whole world, and in the four rows of the stones was the glory of the fathers graven, and thy Majesty upon the diadem of his head.

bes@Wis:18:25 @ Unto these the destroyer gave place, and was afraid of them: for it was enough that they only tasted of the wrath.

bes@Wis:19:3 @ For whilst they were yet mourning and making lamentation at the graves of the dead, they added another foolish device, and pursued them as fugitives, whom they had intreated to be gone.

bes@Wis:19:7 @ As namely, a cloud shadowing the camp; and where water stood before, dry land appeared; and out of the Red sea a way without impediment; and out of the violent stream a green field:

bes@Wis:19:10 @ For they were yet mindful of the things that were done while they sojourned in the strange land, how the ground brought forth flies instead of cattle, and how the river cast up a multitude of frogs instead of fishes.

bes@Wis:19:11 @ But afterwards they saw a new generation of fowls, when, being led with their appetite, they asked delicate meats.

bes@Wis:19:13 @ And punishments came upon the sinners not without former signs by the force of thunders: for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness, insomuch as they used a more hard and hateful behaviour toward strangers.

bes@Wis:19:14 @ For the Sodomites did not receive those, whom they knew not when they came: but these brought friends into bondage, that had well deserved of them.

bes@Wis:19:15 @ And not only so, but peradventure some respect shall be had of those, because they used strangers not friendly:

bes@Wis:19:16 @ But these very grievously afflicted them, whom they had received with feastings, and were already made partakers of the same laws with them.

bes@Wis:19:17 @ Therefore even with blindness were these stricken, as those were at the doors of the righteous man: when, being compassed about with horrible great darkness, every one sought the passage of his own doors.

bes@Wis:19:18 @ For the elements were changed in themselves by a kind of harmony, like as in a psaltery notes change the name of the tune, and yet are always sounds; which may well be perceived by the sight of the things that have been done.

bes@Wis:19:21 @ On the other side, the flames wasted not the flesh of the corruptible living things, though they walked therein; neither melted they the icy kind of heavenly meat that was of nature apt to melt.

bes@Tob:1:1 @ The book of the words of Tobit, son of Tobiel, the son of Ananiel, the son of Aduel, the son of Gabael, of the seed of Asael, of the tribe of Nephthali;

bes@Tob:1:2 @ Who in the time of Enemessar king of the Assyrians was led captive out of Thisbe, which is at the right hand of that city, which is called properly Nephthali in Galilee above Aser.

bes@Tob:1:3 @ I Tobit have walked all the days of my life in the ways of truth and justice, and I did many almsdeeds to my brethren, and my nation, who came with me to Nineve, into the land of the Assyrians.

bes@Tob:1:4 @ And when I was in mine own country, in the land of Israel being but young, all the tribe of Nephthali my father fell from the house of Jerusalem, which was chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, that all the tribes should sacrifice there, where the temple of the habitation of the most High was consecrated and built for all ages.

bes@Tob:1:5 @ Now all the tribes which together revolted, and the house of my father Nephthali, sacrificed unto the heifer Baal.

bes@Tob:1:6 @ But I alone went often to Jerusalem at the feasts, as it was ordained unto all the people of Israel by an everlasting decree, having the firstfruits and tenths of increase, with that which was first shorn; and them gave I at the altar to the priests the children of Aaron.

bes@Tob:1:7 @ The first tenth part of all increase I gave to the sons of Aaron, who ministered at Jerusalem: another tenth part I sold away, and went, and spent it every year at Jerusalem:

bes@Tob:1:9 @ Furthermore, when I was come to the age of a man, I married Anna of mine own kindred, and of her I begat Tobias.

bes@Tob:1:10 @ And when we were carried away captives to Nineve, all my brethren and those that were of my kindred did eat of the bread of the Gentiles.

bes@Tob:1:14 @ And I went into Media, and left in trust with Gabael, the brother of Gabrias, at Rages a city of Media ten talents of silver.

bes@Tob:1:16 @ And in the time of Enemessar I gave many alms to my brethren, and gave my bread to the hungry,

bes@Tob:1:17 @ And my clothes to the naked: and if I saw any of my nation dead, or cast about the walls of Nineve, I buried him.

bes@Tob:1:18 @ And if the king Sennacherib had slain any, when he was come, and fled from Judea, I buried them privily; for in his wrath he killed many; but the bodies were not found, when they were sought for of the king.

bes@Tob:1:19 @ And when one of the Ninevites went and complained of me to the king, that I buried them, and hid myself; understanding that I was sought for to be put to death, I withdrew myself for fear.

bes@Tob:1:21 @ And there passed not five and fifty days, before two of his sons killed him, and they fled into the mountains of Ararath; and Sarchedonus his son reigned in his stead; who appointed over his father’s accounts, and over all his affairs, Achiacharus my brother Anael’s son.

bes@Tob:1:22 @ And Achiacharus intreating for me, I returned to Nineve. Now Achiacharus was cupbearer, and keeper of the signet, and steward, and overseer of the accounts: and Sarchedonus appointed him next unto him: and he was my brother’s son.

bes@Tob:2:1 @ Now when I was come home again, and my wife Anna was restored unto me, with my son Tobias, in the feast of Pentecost, which is the holy feast of the seven weeks, there was a good dinner prepared me, in the which I sat down to eat.

bes@Tob:2:2 @ And when I saw abundance of meat, I said to my son, Go and bring what poor man soever thou shalt find out of our brethren, who is mindful of the Lord; and, lo, I tarry for thee.

bes@Tob:2:3 @ But he came again, and said, Father, one of our nation is strangled, and is cast out in the marketplace.

bes@Tob:2:4 @ Then before I had tasted of any meat, I started up, and took him up into a room until the going down of the sun.

bes@Tob:2:6 @ Remembering that prophecy of Amos, as he said, Your feasts shall be turned into mourning, and all your mirth into lamentation.

bes@Tob:2:7 @ Therefore I wept: and after the going down of the sun I went and made a grave, and buried him.

bes@Tob:2:9 @ The same night also I returned from the burial, and slept by the wall of my courtyard, being polluted and my face was uncovered:

bes@Tob:3:3 @ Remember me, and look on me, punish me not for my sins and ignorances, and the sins of my fathers, who have sinned before thee:

bes@Tob:3:4 @ For they obeyed not thy commandments: wherefore thou hast delivered us for a spoil, and unto captivity, and unto death, and for a proverb of reproach to all the nations among whom we are dispersed.

bes@Tob:3:6 @ Now therefore deal with me as seemeth best unto thee, and command my spirit to be taken from me, that I may be dissolved, and become earth: for it is profitable for me to die rather than to live, because I have heard false reproaches, and have much sorrow: command therefore that I may now be delivered out of this distress, and go into the everlasting place: turn not thy face away from me.

bes@Tob:3:7 @ It came to pass the same day, that in Ecbatane a city of Media Sara the daughter of Raguel was also reproached by her father’s maids;

bes@Tob:3:8 @ Because that she had been married to seven husbands, whom Asmodeus the evil spirit had killed, before they had lain with her. Dost thou not know, said they, that thou hast strangled thine husbands? thou hast had already seven husbands, neither wast thou named after any of them.

bes@Tob:3:9 @ Wherefore dost thou beat us for them? if they be dead, go thy ways after them, let us never see of thee either son or daughter.

bes@Tob:3:10 @ When she heard these things, she was very sorrowful, so that she thought to have strangled herself; and she said, I am the only daughter of my father, and if I do this, it shall be a reproach unto him, and I shall bring his old age with sorrow unto the grave.

bes@Tob:3:13 @ And say, Take me out of the earth, that I may hear no more the reproach.

bes@Tob:3:15 @ And that I never polluted my name, nor the name of my father, in the land of my captivity: I am the only daughter of my father, neither hath he any child to be his heir, neither any near kinsman, nor any son of his alive, to whom I may keep myself for a wife: my seven husbands are already dead; and why should I live? but if it please not thee that I should die, command some regard to be had of me, and pity taken of me, that I hear no more reproach.

bes@Tob:3:16 @ So the prayers of them both were heard before the majesty of the great God.

bes@Tob:3:17 @ And Raphael was sent to heal them both, that is, to scale away the whiteness of Tobit’s eyes, and to give Sara the daughter of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the son of Tobit; and to bind Asmodeus the evil spirit; because she belonged to Tobias by right of inheritance. The selfsame time came Tobit home, and entered into his house, and Sara the daughter of Raguel came down from her upper chamber.

bes@Tob:4:1 @ In that day Tobit remembered the money which he had committed to Gabael in Rages of Media,

bes@Tob:4:2 @ And said with himself, I have wished for death; wherefore do I not call for my son Tobias that I may signify to him of the money before I die?

bes@Tob:4:3 @ And when he had called him, he said, My son, when I am dead, bury me; and despise not thy mother, but honour her all the days of thy life, and do that which shall please her, and grieve her not.

bes@Tob:4:5 @ My son, be mindful of the Lord our God all thy days, and let not thy will be set to sin, or to transgress his commandments: do uprightly all thy life long, and follow not the ways of unrighteousness.

bes@Tob:4:7 @ Give alms of thy substance; and when thou givest alms, let not thine eye be envious, neither turn thy face from any poor, and the face of God shall not be turned away from thee.

bes@Tob:4:9 @ For thou layest up a good treasure for thyself against the day of necessity.

bes@Tob:4:11 @ For alms is a good gift unto all that give it in the sight of the most High.

bes@Tob:4:12 @ Beware of all whoredom, my son, and chiefly take a wife of the seed of thy fathers, and take not a strange woman to wife, which is not of thy father’s tribe: for we are the children of the prophets, Noe, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: remember, my son, that our fathers from the beginning, even that they all married wives of their own kindred, and were blessed in their children, and their seed shall inherit the land.

bes@Tob:4:13 @ Now therefore, my son, love thy brethren, and despise not in thy heart thy brethren, the sons and daughters of thy people, in not taking a wife of them: for in pride is destruction and much trouble, and in lewdness is decay and great want: for lewdness is the mother of famine.

bes@Tob:4:14 @ Let not the wages of any man, which hath wrought for thee, tarry with thee, but give him it out of hand: for if thou serve God, he will also repay thee: be circumspect my son, in all things thou doest, and be wise in all thy conversation.

bes@Tob:4:16 @ Give of thy bread to the hungry, and of thy garments to them that are naked; and according to thine abundance give alms: and let not thine eye be envious, when thou givest alms.

bes@Tob:4:17 @ Pour out thy bread on the burial of the just, but give nothing to the wicked.

bes@Tob:4:18 @ Ask counsel of all that are wise, and despise not any counsel that is profitable.

bes@Tob:4:19 @ Bless the Lord thy God alway, and desire of him that thy ways may be directed, and that all thy paths and counsels may prosper: for every nation hath not counsel; but the Lord himself giveth all good things, and he humbleth whom he will, as he will; now therefore, my son, remember my commandments, neither let them be put out of thy mind.

bes@Tob:4:20 @ And now I signify this to they that I committed ten talents to Gabael the son of Gabrias at Rages in Media.

bes@Tob:5:8 @ Then he said unto him, Go and tarry not. So he went in and said to his father, Behold, I have found one which will go with me. Then he said, Call him unto me, that I may know of what tribe he is, and whether he be a trusty man to go with thee.

bes@Tob:5:10 @ Then Tobit said unto him, Brother, shew me of what tribe and family thou art.

bes@Tob:5:12 @ Then he said, I am Azarias, the son of Ananias the great, and of thy brethren.

bes@Tob:5:13 @ Then Tobit said, Thou art welcome, brother; be not now angry with me, because I have enquired to know thy tribe and thy family; for thou art my brother, of an honest and good stock: for I know Ananias and Jonathas, sons of that great Samaias, as we went together to Jerusalem to worship, and offered the firstborn, and the tenths of the fruits; and they were not seduced with the error of our brethren: my brother, thou art of a good stock.

bes@Tob:5:16 @ So they were well pleased. Then said he to Tobias, Prepare thyself for the journey, and God send you a good journey. And when his son had prepared all things far the journey, his father said, Go thou with this man, and God, which dwelleth in heaven, prosper your journey, and the angel of God keep you company. So they went forth both, and the young man’s dog with them.

bes@Tob:5:17 @ But Anna his mother wept, and said to Tobit, Why hast thou sent away our son? is he not the staff of our hand, in going in and out before us?

bes@Tob:5:18 @ Be not greedy to add money to money: but let it be as refuse in respect of our child.

bes@Tob:5:22 @ Then she made an end of weeping.

bes@Tob:6:2 @ And when the young man went down to wash himself, a fish leaped out of the river, and would have devoured him.

bes@Tob:6:3 @ Then the angel said unto him, Take the fish. And the young man laid hold of the fish, and drew it to land.

bes@Tob:6:6 @ Then the young man said to the angel, Brother Azarias, to what use is the heart and the liver and the gal of the fish?

bes@Tob:6:11 @ For to thee doth the right of her appertain, seeing thou only art of her kindred.

bes@Tob:6:12 @ And the maid is fair and wise: now therefore hear me, and I will speak to her father; and when we return from Rages we will celebrate the marriage: for I know that Raguel cannot marry her to another according to the law of Moses, but he shall be guilty of death, because the right of inheritance doth rather appertain to thee than to any other.

bes@Tob:6:14 @ And now I am the only son of my father, and I am afraid, lest if I go in unto her, I die, as the other before: for a wicked spirit loveth her, which hurteth no body, but those which come unto her; wherefore I also fear lest I die, and bring my father’s and my mother’s life because of me to the grave with sorrow: for they have no other son to bury them.

bes@Tob:6:15 @ Then the angel said unto him, Dost thou not remember the precepts which thy father gave thee, that thou shouldest marry a wife of thine own kindred? wherefore hear me, O my brother; for she shall be given thee to wife; and make thou no reckoning of the evil spirit; for this same night shall she be given thee in marriage.

bes@Tob:6:16 @ And when thou shalt come into the marriage chamber, thou shalt take the ashes of perfume, and shalt lay upon them some of the heart and liver of the fish, and shalt make a smoke with it:

bes@Tob:6:17 @ And the devil shall smell it, and flee away, and never come again any more: but when thou shalt come to her, rise up both of you, and pray to God which is merciful, who will have pity on you, and save you: fear not, for she is appointed unto thee from the beginning; and thou shalt preserve her, and she shall go with thee. Moreover I suppose that she shall bear thee children. Now when Tobias had heard these things, he loved her, and his heart was effectually joined to her.

bes@Tob:7:1 @ And when they were come to Ecbatane, they came to the house of Raguel, and Sara met them: and after they had saluted one another, she brought them into the house.

bes@Tob:7:3 @ And Raguel asked them, From whence are ye, brethren? To whom they said, We are of the sons of Nephthalim, which are captives in Nineve.

bes@Tob:7:7 @ And blessed him, and said unto him, Thou art the son of an honest and good man. But when he had heard that Tobit was blind, he was sorrowful, and wept.

bes@Tob:7:8 @ And likewise Edna his wife and Sara his daughter wept. Moreover they entertained them cheerfully; and after that they had killed a ram of the flock, they set store of meat on the table. Then said Tobias to Raphael, Brother Azarias, speak of those things of which thou didst talk in the way, and let this business be dispatched.

bes@Tob:7:13 @ Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife to Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and lead her away to thy father. And he blessed them;

bes@Tob:7:14 @ And called Edna his wife, and took paper, and did write an instrument of covenants, and sealed it.

bes@Tob:7:17 @ Which when she had done as he had bidden her, she brought her thither: and she wept, and she received the tears of her daughter, and said unto her,

bes@Tob:7:18 @ Be of good comfort, my daughter; the Lord of heaven and earth give thee joy for this thy sorrow: be of good comfort, my daughter.

bes@Tob:8:2 @ And as he went, he remembered the words of Raphael, and took the ashes of the perfumes, and put the heart and the liver of the fish thereupon, and made a smoke therewith.

bes@Tob:8:3 @ The which smell when the evil spirit had smelled, he fled into the utmost parts of Egypt, and the angel bound him.

bes@Tob:8:4 @ And after that they were both shut in together, Tobias rose out of the bed, and said, Sister, arise, and let us pray that God would have pity on us.

bes@Tob:8:5 @ Then began Tobias to say, Blessed art thou, O God of our fathers, and blessed is thy holy and glorious name for ever; let the heavens bless thee, and all thy creatures.

bes@Tob:8:6 @ Thou madest Adam, and gavest him Eve his wife for an helper and stay: of them came mankind: thou hast said, It is not good that man should be alone; let us make unto him an aid like unto himself.

bes@Tob:8:12 @ He said unto his wife Edna. Send one of the maids, and let her see whether he be alive: if he be not, that we may bury him, and no man know it.

bes@Tob:8:17 @ Thou art to be praised because thou hast had mercy of two that were the only begotten children of their fathers: grant them mercy, O Lord, and finish their life in health with joy and mercy.

bes@Tob:8:20 @ For before the days of the marriage were finished, Raguel had said unto him by an oath, that he should not depart till the fourteen days of the marriage were expired;

bes@Tob:8:21 @ And then he should take the half of his goods, and go in safety to his father; and should have the rest when I and my wife be dead.

bes@Tob:9:2 @ Brother Azarias, take with thee a servant, and two camels, and go to Rages of Media to Gabael, and bring me the money, and bring him to the wedding.

bes@Tob:10:1 @ Now Tobit his father counted every day: and when the days of the journey were expired, and they came not,

bes@Tob:10:5 @ Now I care for nothing, my son, since I have let thee go, the light of mine eyes.

bes@Tob:10:7 @ But she said, Hold thy peace, and deceive me not; my son is dead. And she went out every day into the way which they went, and did eat no meat on the daytime, and ceased not whole nights to bewail her son Tobias, until the fourteen days of the wedding were expired, which Raguel had sworn that he should spend there. Then Tobias said to Raguel,

bes@Tob:10:12 @ And he blessed them, and sent them away, saying, The God of heaven give you a prosperous journey, my children.

bes@Tob:10:13 @ And he said to his daughter, Honour thy father and thy mother in law, which are now thy parents, that I may hear good report of thee. And he kissed her. Edna also said to Tobias, The Lord of heaven restore thee, my dear brother, and grant that I may see thy children of my daughter Sara before I die, that I may rejoice before the Lord: behold, I commit my daughter unto thee of special trust; where are do not entreat her evil.

bes@Tob:11:4 @ And take in thine hand the gall of the fish. So they went their way, and the dog went after them.

bes@Tob:11:9 @ Then Anna ran forth, and fell upon the neck of her son, and said unto him, Seeing I have seen thee, my son, from henceforth I am content to die. And they wept both.

bes@Tob:11:11 @ And took hold of his father: and he strake of the gall on his fathers’ eyes, saying, Be of good hope, my father.

bes@Tob:11:13 @ And the whiteness pilled away from the corners of his eyes: and when he saw his son, he fell upon his neck.

bes@Tob:11:16 @ Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter in law at the gate of Nineve, rejoicing and praising God: and they which saw him go marvelled, because he had received his sight.

bes@Tob:12:2 @ And Tobias said unto him, O father, it is no harm to me to give him half of those things which I have brought:

bes@Tob:12:5 @ So he called the angel, and he said unto him, Take half of all that ye have brought and go away in safety.

bes@Tob:12:6 @ Then he took them both apart, and said unto them, Bless God, praise him, and magnify him, and praise him for the things which he hath done unto you in the sight of all that live. It is good to praise God, and exalt his name, and honourably to shew forth the works of God; therefore be not slack to praise him.

bes@Tob:12:7 @ It is good to keep close the secret of a king, but it is honourable to reveal the works of God. Do that which is good, and no evil shall touch you.

bes@Tob:12:11 @ Surely I will keep close nothing from you. For I said, It was good to keep close the secret of a king, but that it was honourable to reveal the works of God.

bes@Tob:12:12 @ Now therefore, when thou didst pray, and Sara thy daughter in law, I did bring the remembrance of your prayers before the Holy One: and when thou didst bury the dead, I was with thee likewise.

bes@Tob:12:15 @ I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels, which present the prayers of the saints, and which go in and out before the glory of the Holy One.

bes@Tob:12:18 @ For not of any favour of mine, but by the will of our God I came; wherefore praise him for ever.

bes@Tob:12:22 @ Then they confessed the great and wonderful works of God, and how the angel of the Lord had appeared unto them.

bes@Tob:13:1 @ Then Tobit wrote a prayer of rejoicing, and said, Blessed be God that liveth for ever, and blessed be his kingdom.

bes@Tob:13:3 @ Confess him before the Gentiles, ye children of Israel: for he hath scattered us among them.

bes@Tob:13:5 @ And he will scourge us for our iniquities, and will have mercy again, and will gather us out of all nations, among whom he hath scattered us.

bes@Tob:13:6 @ If ye turn to him with your whole heart, and with your whole mind, and deal uprightly before him, then will he turn unto you, and will not hide his face from you. Therefore see what he will do with you, and confess him with your whole mouth, and praise the Lord of might, and extol the everlasting King. In the land of my captivity do I praise him, and declare his might and majesty to a sinful nation. O ye sinners, turn and do justice before him: who can tell if he will accept you, and have mercy on you?

bes@Tob:13:7 @ I will extol my God, and my soul shall praise the King of heaven, and shall rejoice in his greatness.

bes@Tob:13:9 @ O Jerusalem, the holy city, he will scourge thee for thy children’s works, and will have mercy again on the sons of the righteous.

bes@Tob:13:11 @ Many nations shall come from far to the name of the Lord God with gifts in their hands, even gifts to the King of heaven; all generations shall praise thee with great joy.

bes@Tob:13:13 @ Rejoice and be glad for the children of the just: for they shall be gathered together, and shall bless the Lord of the just.

bes@Tob:13:17 @ And the streets of Jerusalem shall be paved with beryl and carbuncle and stones of Ophir.

bes@Tob:14:1 @ So Tobit made an end of praising God.

bes@Tob:14:2 @ And he was eight and fifty years old when he lost his sight, which was restored to him after eight years: and he gave alms, and he increased in the fear of the Lord God, and praised him.

bes@Tob:14:3 @ And when he was very aged he called his son, and the sons of his son, and said to him, My son, take thy children; for, behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart out of this life.

bes@Tob:14:4 @ Go into Media my son, for I surely believe those things which Jonas the prophet spake of Nineve, that it shall be overthrown; and that for a time peace shall rather be in Media; and that our brethren shall lie scattered in the earth from that good land: and Jerusalem shall be desolate, and the house of God in it shall be burned, and shall be desolate for a time;

bes@Tob:14:5 @ And that again God will have mercy on them, and bring them again into the land, where they shall build a temple, but not like to the first, until the time of that age be fulfilled; and afterward they shall return from all places of their captivity, and build up Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God shall be built in it for ever with a glorious building, as the prophets have spoken thereof.

bes@Tob:14:8 @ And now, my son, depart out of Nineve, because that those things which the prophet Jonas spake shall surely come to pass.

bes@Tob:14:10 @ And bury me decently, and thy mother with me; but tarry no longer at Nineve. Remember, my son, how Aman handled Achiacharus that brought him up, how out of light he brought him into darkness, and how he rewarded him again: yet Achiacharus was saved, but the other had his reward: for he went down into darkness. Manasses gave alms, and escaped the snares of death which they had set for him: but Aman fell into the snare, and perished.

bes@Tob:14:15 @ But before he died he heard of the destruction of Nineve, which was taken by Nabuchodonosor and Assuerus: and before his death he rejoiced over Nineve.

bes@Sir:1:2 @ Who can number the sand of the sea, and the drops of rain, and the days of eternity?

bes@Sir:1:3 @ Who can find out the height of heaven, and the breadth of the earth, and the deep, and wisdom?

bes@Sir:1:4 @ Wisdom hath been created before all things, and the understanding of prudence from everlasting.

bes@Sir:1:5 @ The word of God most high is the fountain of wisdom; and her ways are everlasting commandments.

bes@Sir:1:6 @ To whom hath the root of wisdom been revealed? or who hath known her wise counsels?

bes@Sir:1:7 @ Unto whom hath the knowledge of wisdom been made manifest? and who hath understood her great experience?

bes@Sir:1:11 @ The fear of the Lord is honour, and glory, and gladness, and a crown of rejoicing.

bes@Sir:1:12 @ The fear of the Lord maketh a merry heart, and giveth joy, and gladness, and a long life.

bes@Sir:1:13 @ Whoso feareth the Lord, it shall go well with him at the last, and he shall find favour in the day of his death.

bes@Sir:1:14 @ To fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and it was created with the faithful in the womb.

bes@Sir:1:16 @ To fear the Lord is fulness of wisdom, and filleth men with her fruits.

bes@Sir:1:18 @ The fear of the Lord is a crown of wisdom, making peace and perfect health to flourish; both which are the gifts of God: and it enlargeth their rejoicing that love him.

bes@Sir:1:19 @ Wisdom raineth down skill and knowledge of understanding standing, and exalteth them to honour that hold her fast.

bes@Sir:1:20 @ The root of wisdom is to fear the Lord, and the branches thereof are long life.

bes@Sir:1:21 @ The fear of the Lord driveth away sins: and where it is present, it turneth away wrath.

bes@Sir:1:22 @ A furious man cannot be justified; for the sway of his fury shall be his destruction.

bes@Sir:1:24 @ He will hide his words for a time, and the lips of many shall declare his wisdom.

bes@Sir:1:25 @ The parables of knowledge are in the treasures of wisdom: but godliness is an abomination to a sinner.

bes@Sir:1:27 @ For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruction: and faith and meekness are his delight.

bes@Sir:1:28 @ Distrust not the fear of the Lord when thou art poor: and come not unto him with a double heart.

bes@Sir:1:29 @ Be not an hypocrite in the sight of men, and take good heed what thou speakest.

bes@Sir:1:30 @ Exalt not thyself, lest thou fall, and bring dishonour upon thy soul, and so God discover thy secrets, and cast thee down in the midst of the congregation, because thou camest not in truth to the fear of the Lord, but thy heart is full of deceit.

bes@Sir:2:2 @ Set thy heart aright, and constantly endure, and make not haste in time of trouble.

bes@Sir:2:5 @ For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity.

bes@Sir:2:10 @ Look at the generations of old, and see; did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded? or did any abide in his fear, and was forsaken? or whom did he ever despise, that called upon him?

bes@Sir:2:11 @ For the Lord is full of compassion and mercy, longsuffering, and very pitiful, and forgiveth sins, and saveth in time of affliction.

bes@Sir:2:18 @ Saying, We will fall into the hands of the Lord, and not into the hands of men: for as his majesty is, so is his mercy.

bes@Sir:3:2 @ For the Lord hath given the father honour over the children, and hath confirmed the authority of the mother over the sons.

bes@Sir:3:5 @ Whoso honoureth his father shall have joy of his own children; and when he maketh his prayer, he shall be heard.

bes@Sir:3:9 @ For the blessing of the father establisheth the houses of children; but the curse of the mother rooteth out foundations.

bes@Sir:3:10 @ Glory not in the dishonour of thy father; for thy father’s dishonour is no glory unto thee.

bes@Sir:3:11 @ For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father; and a mother in dishonour is a reproach to the children.

bes@Sir:3:15 @ In the day of thine affliction it shall be remembered; thy sins also shall melt away, as the ice in the fair warm weather.

bes@Sir:3:16 @ He that forsaketh his father is as a blasphemer; and he that angereth his mother is cursed: of God.

bes@Sir:3:17 @ My son, go on with thy business in meekness; so shalt thou be beloved of him that is approved.

bes@Sir:3:19 @ Many are in high place, and of renown: but mysteries are revealed unto the meek.

bes@Sir:22:9 @ If children live honestly, and have wherewithal, they shall cover the baseness of their parents.

bes@Sir:22:10 @ But children, being haughty, through disdain and want of nurture do stain the nobility of their kindred.

bes@Sir:22:11 @ Weep for the dead, for he hath lost the light: and weep for the fool, for he wanteth understanding: make little weeping for the dead, for he is at rest: but the life of the fool is worse than death.

bes@Sir:22:12 @ Seven days do men mourn for him that is dead; but for a fool and an ungodly man all the days of his life.

bes@Sir:22:13 @ Talk not much with a fool, and go not to him that hath no understanding: beware of him, lest thou have trouble, and thou shalt never be defiled with his fooleries: depart from him, and thou shalt find rest, and never be disquieted with madness.

bes@Sir:22:15 @ Sand, and salt, and a mass of iron, is easier to bear, than a man without understanding.

bes@Sir:22:17 @ A heart settled upon a thought of understanding is as a fair plaistering on the wall of a gallery.

bes@Sir:22:18 @ Pales set on an high place will never stand against the wind: so a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool cannot stand against any fear.

bes@Sir:22:22 @ If thou hast opened thy mouth against thy friend, fear not; for there may be a reconciliation: except for upbraiding, or pride, or disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound: for for these things every friend will depart.

bes@Sir:22:23 @ Be faithful to thy neighbour in his poverty, that thou mayest rejoice in his prosperity: abide stedfast unto him in the time of his trouble, that thou mayest be heir with him in his heritage: for a mean estate is not always to be contemned: nor the rich that is foolish to be had in admiration.

bes@Sir:22:24 @ As the vapour and smoke of a furnace goeth before the fire; so reviling before blood.

bes@Sir:22:26 @ And if any evil happen unto me by him, every one that heareth it will beware of him.

bes@Sir:22:27 @ Who shall set a watch before my mouth, and a seal of wisdom upon my lips, that I fall not suddenly by them, and that my tongue destroy me not?

bes@Sir:23:1 @ O Lord, Father and Governor of all my whole life, leave me not to their counsels, and let me not fall by them.

bes@Sir:23:2 @ Who will set scourges over my thoughts, and the discipline of wisdom over mine heart? that they spare me not for mine ignorances, and it pass not by my sins:

bes@Sir:23:4 @ O Lord, Father and God of my life, give me not a proud look, but turn away from thy servants always a haughty mind.

bes@Sir:23:6 @ Let not the greediness of the belly nor lust of the flesh take hold of me; and give not over me thy servant into an impudent mind.

bes@Sir:23:7 @ Hear, O ye children, the discipline of the mouth: he that keepeth it shall never be taken in his lips.

bes@Sir:23:9 @ Accustom not thy mouth to swearing; neither use thyself to the naming of the Holy One.

bes@Sir:23:11 @ A man that useth much swearing shall be filled with iniquity, and the plague shall never depart from his house: if he shall offend, his sin shall be upon him: and if he acknowledge not his sin, he maketh a double offence: and if he swear in vain, he shall not be innocent, but his house shall be full of calamities.

bes@Sir:23:12 @ There is a word that is clothed about with death: God grant that it be not found in the heritage of Jacob; for all such things shall be far from the godly, and they shall not wallow in their sins.

bes@Sir:23:13 @ Use not thy mouth to intemperate swearing, for therein is the word of sin.

bes@Sir:23:14 @ Remember thy father and thy mother, when thou sittest among great men. Be not forgetful before them, and so thou by thy custom become a fool, and wish that thou hadst not been born, and curse they day of thy nativity.

bes@Sir:23:15 @ The man that is accustomed to opprobrious words will never be reformed all the days of his life.

bes@Sir:23:16 @ Two sorts of men multiply sin, and the third will bring wrath: a hot mind is as a burning fire, it will never be quenched till it be consumed: a fornicator in the body of his flesh will never cease till he hath kindled a fire.

bes@Sir:23:19 @ Such a man only feareth the eyes of men, and knoweth not that the eyes of the Lord are ten thousand times brighter than the sun, beholding all the ways of men, and considering the most secret parts.

bes@Sir:23:27 @ And they that remain shall know that there is nothing better than the fear of the Lord, and that there is nothing sweeter than to take heed unto the commandments of the Lord.

bes@Sir:23:28 @ It is great glory to follow the Lord, and to be received of him is long life.

bes@Sir:24:1 @ Wisdom shall praise herself, and shall glory in the midst of her people.

bes@Sir:24:2 @ In the congregation of the most High shall she open her mouth, and triumph before his power.

bes@Sir:24:3 @ I came out of the mouth of the most High, and covered the earth as a cloud.

bes@Sir:24:5 @ I alone compassed the circuit of heaven, and walked in the bottom of the deep.

bes@Sir:24:6 @ In the waves of the sea and in all the earth, and in every people and nation, I got a possession.

bes@Sir:24:8 @ So the Creator of all things gave me a commandment, and he that made me caused my tabernacle to rest, and said, Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thine inheritance in Israel.

bes@Sir:24:12 @ And I took root in an honourable people, even in the portion of the Lord’s inheritance.

bes@Sir:24:13 @ I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress tree upon the mountains of Hermon.

bes@Sir:24:15 @ I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon and aspalathus, and I yielded a pleasant odour like the best myrrh, as galbanum, and onyx, and sweet storax, and as the fume of frankincense in the tabernacle.

bes@Sir:24:16 @ As the turpentine tree I stretched out my branches, and my branches are the branches of honour and grace.

bes@Sir:24:17 @ As the vine brought I forth pleasant savour, and my flowers are the fruit of honour and riches.

bes@Sir:24:18 @ I am the mother of fair love, and fear, and knowledge, and holy hope: I therefore, being eternal, am given to all my children which are named of him.

bes@Sir:24:19 @ Come unto me, all ye that be desirous of me, and fill yourselves with my fruits.

bes@Sir:24:23 @ All these things are the book of the covenant of the most high God, even the law which Moses commanded for an heritage unto the congregations of Jacob.

bes@Sir:24:25 @ He filleth all things with his wisdom, as Phison and as Tigris in the time of the new fruits.

bes@Sir:24:26 @ He maketh the understanding to abound like Euphrates, and as Jordan in the time of the harvest.

bes@Sir:24:27 @ He maketh the doctrine of knowledge appear as the light, and as Geon in the time of vintage.

bes@Sir:25:1 @ In three things I was beautified, and stood up beautiful both before God and men: the unity of brethren, the love of neighbours, a man and a wife that agree together.

bes@Sir:25:2 @ Three sorts of men my soul hateth, and I am greatly offended at their life: a poor man that is proud, a rich man that is a liar, and an old adulterer that doateth.

bes@Sir:25:5 @ O how comely is the wisdom of old men, and understanding and counsel to men of honour.

bes@Sir:25:6 @ Much experience is the crown of old men, and the fear of God is their glory.

bes@Sir:25:7 @ There be nine things which I have judged in mine heart to be happy, and the tenth I will utter with my tongue: A man that hath joy of his children; and he that liveth to see the fall of his enemy:

bes@Sir:25:8 @ Well is him that dwelleth with a wife of understanding, and that hath not slipped with his tongue, and that hath not served a man more unworthy than himself:

bes@Sir:25:9 @ Well is him that hath found prudence, and he that speaketh in the ears of them that will hear:

bes@Sir:25:11 @ But the love of the Lord passeth all things for illumination: he that holdeth it, whereto shall he be likened?

bes@Sir:25:12 @ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of his love: and faith is the beginning of cleaving unto him.

bes@Sir:25:13 @ Give me any plague, but the plague of the heart: and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman:

bes@Sir:25:14 @ And any affliction, but the affliction from them that hate me: and any revenge, but the revenge of enemies.

bes@Sir:25:15 @ There is no head above the head of a serpent; and there is no wrath above the wrath of an enemy.

bes@Sir:25:17 @ The wickedness of a woman changeth her face, and darkeneth her countenance like sackcloth.

bes@Sir:25:19 @ All wickedness is but little to the wickedness of a woman: let the portion of a sinner fall upon her.

bes@Sir:25:20 @ As the climbing up a sandy way is to the feet of the aged, so is a wife full of words to a quiet man.

bes@Sir:25:21 @ Stumble not at the beauty of a woman, and desire her not for pleasure.

bes@Sir:25:22 @ A woman, if she maintain her husband, is full of anger, impudence, and much reproach.

bes@Sir:25:24 @ Of the woman came the beginning of sin, and through her we all die.

bes@Sir:25:26 @ If she go not as thou wouldest have her, cut her off from thy flesh, and give her a bill of divorce, and let her go.

bes@Sir:26:1 @ Blessed is the man that hath a virtuous wife, for the number of his days shall be double.

bes@Sir:26:2 @ A virtuous woman rejoiceth her husband, and he shall fulfil the years of his life in peace.

bes@Sir:26:3 @ A good wife is a good portion, which shall be given in the portion of them that fear the Lord.

bes@Sir:26:5 @ There be three things that mine heart feareth; and for the fourth I was sore afraid: the slander of a city, the gathering together of an unruly multitude, and a false accusation: all these are worse than death.

bes@Sir:26:6 @ But a grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is jealous over another woman, and a scourge of the tongue which communicateth with all.

bes@Sir:26:7 @ An evil wife is a yoke shaken to and fro: he that hath hold of her is as though he held a scorpion.

bes@Sir:26:9 @ The whoredom of a woman may be known in her haughty looks and eyelids.

bes@Sir:26:12 @ She will open her mouth, as a thirsty traveller when he hath found a fountain, and drink of every water near her: by every hedge will she sit down, and open her quiver against every arrow.

bes@Sir:26:13 @ The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones.

bes@Sir:26:14 @ A silent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord; and there is nothing so much worth as a mind well instructed.

bes@Sir:26:16 @ As the sun when it ariseth in the high heaven; so is the beauty of a good wife in the ordering of her house.

bes@Sir:26:17 @ As the clear light is upon the holy candlestick; so is the beauty of the face in ripe age.

bes@Sir:26:18 @ As the golden pillars are upon the sockets of silver; so are the fair feet with a constant heart.

bes@Sir:26:19 @ My son, keep the flower of thine age sound; and give not thy strength to strangers.

bes@Sir:26:20 @ When thou hast gotten a fruitful possession through all the field, sow it with thine own seed, trusting in the goodness of thy stock.

bes@Sir:26:21 @ So thy race which thou leavest shall be magnified, having the confidence of their good descent.

bes@Sir:26:26 @ A woman that honoureth her husband shall be judged wise of all; but she that dishonoureth him in her pride shall be counted ungodly of all.

bes@Sir:26:28 @ There be two things that grieve my heart; and the third maketh me angry: a man of war that suffereth poverty; and men of understanding that are not set by; and one that returneth from righteousness to sin; the Lord prepareth such an one for the sword.

bes@Sir:27:2 @ As a nail sticketh fast between the joinings of the stones; so doth sin stick close between buying and selling.

bes@Sir:27:3 @ Unless a man hold himself diligently in the fear of the Lord, his house shall soon be overthrown.

bes@Sir:27:4 @ As when one sifteth with a sieve, the refuse remaineth; so the filth of man in his talk.

bes@Sir:27:5 @ The furnace proveth the potter’s vessels; so the trial of man is in his reasoning.

bes@Sir:27:6 @ The fruit declareth if the tree have been dressed; so is the utterance of a conceit in the heart of man.

bes@Sir:27:7 @ Praise no man before thou hearest him speak; for this is the trial of men.

bes@Sir:27:11 @ The discourse of a godly man is always with wisdom; but a fool changeth as the moon.

bes@Sir:27:12 @ If thou be among the indiscreet, observe the time; but be continually among men of understanding.

bes@Sir:27:13 @ The discourse of fools is irksome, and their sport is the wantonness of sin.

bes@Sir:27:14 @ The talk of him that sweareth much maketh the hair stand upright; and their brawls make one stop his ears.

bes@Sir:27:15 @ The strife of the proud is bloodshedding, and their revilings are grievous to the ear.

bes@Sir:27:18 @ For as a man hath destroyed his enemy; so hast thou lost the love of thy neighbour.

bes@Sir:27:19 @ As one that letteth a bird go out of his hand, so hast thou let thy neighbour go, and shalt not get him again

bes@Sir:27:20 @ Follow after him no more, for he is too far off; he is as a roe escaped out of the snare.

bes@Sir:27:29 @ They that rejoice at the fall of the righteous shall be taken in the snare; and anguish shall consume them before they die.

bes@Sir:28:4 @ He sheweth no mercy to a man, which is like himself: and doth he ask forgiveness of his own sins?

bes@Sir:28:5 @ If he that is but flesh nourish hatred, who will intreat for pardon of his sins?

bes@Sir:28:7 @ Remember the commandments, and bear no malice to thy neighbour: remember the covenant of the Highest, and wink at ignorance.

bes@Sir:28:10 @ As the matter of the fire is, so it burneth: and as a man’s strength is, so is his wrath; and according to his riches his anger riseth; and the stronger they are which contend, the more they will be inflamed.

bes@Sir:28:12 @ If thou blow the spark, it shall burn: if thou spit upon it, it shall be quenched: and both these come out of thy mouth.

bes@Sir:28:14 @ A backbiting tongue hath disquieted many, and driven them from nation to nation: strong cities hath it pulled down, and overthrown the houses of great men.

bes@Sir:28:15 @ A backbiting tongue hath cast out virtuous women, and deprived them of their labours.

bes@Sir:28:17 @ The stroke of the whip maketh marks in the flesh: but the stroke of the tongue breaketh the bones.

bes@Sir:28:18 @ Many have fallen by the edge of the sword: but not so many as have fallen by the tongue.

bes@Sir:28:20 @ For the yoke thereof is a yoke of iron, and the bands thereof are bands of brass.

bes@Sir:29:2 @ Lend to thy neighbour in time of his need, and pay thou thy neighbour again in due season.

bes@Sir:29:5 @ Till he hath received, he will kiss a man’s hand; and for his neighbour’s money he will speak submissly: but when he should repay, he will prolong the time, and return words of grief, and complain of the time.

bes@Sir:29:6 @ If he prevail, he shall hardly receive the half, and he will count as if he had found it: if not, he hath deprived him of his money, and he hath gotten him an enemy without cause: he payeth him with cursings and railings; and for honour he will pay him disgrace.

bes@Sir:29:9 @ Help the poor for the commandment’s sake, and turn him not away because of his poverty.

bes@Sir:29:11 @ Lay up thy treasure according to the commandments of the most High, and it shall bring thee more profit than gold.

bes@Sir:29:15 @ Forget not the friendship of thy surety, for he hath given his life for thee.

bes@Sir:29:16 @ A sinner will overthrow the good estate of his surety:

bes@Sir:29:17 @ And he that is of an unthankful mind will leave him in danger that delivered him.

bes@Sir:29:18 @ Suretiship hath undone many of good estate, and shaken them as a wave of the sea: mighty men hath it driven from their houses, so that they wandered among strange nations.

bes@Sir:29:19 @ A wicked man transgressing the commandments of the Lord shall fall into suretiship: and he that undertaketh and followeth other men’s business for gain shall fall into suits.

bes@Sir:29:22 @ Better is the life of a poor man in a mean cottage, than delicate fare in another man’s house.

bes@Sir:29:23 @ Be it little or much, hold thee contented, that thou hear not the reproach of thy house.

bes@Sir:29:26 @ Come, thou stranger, and furnish a table, and feed me of that thou hast ready.

bes@Sir:29:27 @ Give place, thou stranger, to an honourable man; my brother cometh to be lodged, and I have need of mine house.

bes@Sir:29:28 @ These things are grievous to a man of understanding; the upbraiding of houseroom, and reproaching of the lender.

bes@Sir:30:1 @ He that loveth his son causeth him oft to feel the rod, that he may have joy of him in the end.

bes@Sir:30:2 @ He that chastiseth his son shall have joy in him, and shall rejoice of him among his acquaintance.

bes@Sir:30:3 @ He that teacheth his son grieveth the enemy: and before his friends he shall rejoice of him.

bes@Sir:30:7 @ He that maketh too much of his son shall bind up his wounds; and his bowels will be troubled at every cry.

bes@Sir:30:14 @ Better is the poor, being sound and strong of constitution, than a rich man that is afflicted in his body.

bes@Sir:30:15 @ Health and good estate of body are above all gold, and a strong body above infinite wealth.

bes@Sir:30:16 @ There is no riches above a sound body, and no joy above the joy of the heart. I awaked up last of all, as one that gathereth after the grapegatherers: by the blessing of the Lord I profited, and filled my winepress like a gatherer of grapes.

bes@Sir:30:18 @ Delicates poured upon a mouth shut up are as messes of meat set upon a grave. Hear me, O ye great men of the people, and hearken with your ears, ye rulers of the congregation.

bes@Sir:30:19 @ What good doeth the offering unto an idol? for neither can it eat nor smell: so is he that is persecuted of the Lord. Give not thy son and wife, thy brother and friend, power over thee while thou livest, and give not thy goods to another: lest it repent thee, and thou intreat for the same again.

bes@Sir:30:22 @ The gladness of the heart is the life of man, and the joyfulness of a man prolongeth his days.

bes@Sir:30:31 @ If thou have a servant, entreat him as a brother: for thou hast need of him, as of thine own soul: if thou entreat him evil, and he run from thee, which way wilt thou go to seek him?

bes@Sir:31:1 @ The hopes of a man void of understanding are vain and false: and dreams lift up fools.

bes@Sir:31:3 @ The vision of dreams is the resemblance of one thing to another, even as the likeness of a face to a face.

bes@Sir:31:4 @ Of an unclean thing what can be cleansed? and from that thing which is false what truth can come?

bes@Sir:31:10 @ He that hath no experience knoweth little: but he that hath travelled is full of prudence.

bes@Sir:31:12 @ I was ofttimes in danger of death: yet I was delivered because of these things.

bes@Sir:31:13 @ The spirit of those that fear the Lord shall live; for their hope is in him that saveth them.

bes@Sir:31:15 @ Blessed is the soul of him that feareth the Lord: to whom doth he look? and who is his strength?

bes@Sir:31:16 @ For the eyes of the Lord are upon them that love him, he is their mighty protection and strong stay, a defence from heat, and a cover from the sun at noon, a preservation from stumbling, and an help from falling.

bes@Sir:31:18 @ He that sacrificeth of a thing wrongfully gotten, his offering is ridiculous; and the gifts of unjust men are not accepted.

bes@Sir:31:19 @ The most High is not pleased with the offerings of the wicked; neither is he pacified for sin by the multitude of sacrifices.

bes@Sir:31:20 @ Whoso bringeth an offering of the goods of the poor doeth as one that killeth the son before his father’s eyes.

bes@Sir:31:21 @ The bread of the needy is their life: he that defraudeth him thereof is a man of blood.

bes@Sir:31:22 @ He that taketh away his neighbour’s living slayeth him; and he that defraudeth the labourer of his hire is a bloodshedder.

bes@Sir:31:25 @ He that washeth himself after the touching of a dead body, if he touch it again, what availeth his washing?

bes@Sir:32:5 @ For all these things are to be done because of the commandment.

bes@Sir:32:7 @ The sacrifice of a just man is acceptable. and the memorial thereof shall never be forgotten.

bes@Sir:32:8 @ Give the Lord his honour with a good eye, and diminish not the firstfruits of thine hands.

bes@Sir:32:12 @ Do not think to corrupt with gifts; for such he will not receive: and trust not to unrighteous sacrifices; for the Lord is judge, and with him is no respect of persons.

bes@Sir:32:13 @ He will not accept any person against a poor man, but will hear the prayer of the oppressed.

bes@Sir:32:14 @ He will not despise the supplication of the fatherless; nor the widow, when she poureth out her complaint.

bes@Sir:32:17 @ The prayer of the humble pierceth the clouds: and till it come nigh, he will not be comforted; and will not depart, till the most High shall behold to judge righteously, and execute judgement.

bes@Sir:32:18 @ For the Lord will not be slack, neither will the Mighty be patient toward them, till he have smitten in sunder the loins of the unmerciful, and repayed vengeance to the heathen; till he have taken away the multitude of the proud, and broken the sceptre of the unrighteous;

bes@Sir:32:19 @ Till he have rendered to every man according to his deeds, and to the works of men according to their devices; till he have judged the cause of his people, and made them to rejoice in his mercy.

bes@Sir:32:20 @ Mercy is seasonable in the time of affliction, as clouds of rain in the time of drought.

bes@Sir:34:18 @ When thou sittest among many, reach not thine hand out first of all.

bes@Sir:34:20 @ Sound sleep cometh of moderate eating: he riseth early, and his wits are with him: but the pain of watching, and choler, and pangs of the belly, are with an unsatiable man.

bes@Sir:34:23 @ Whoso is liberal of his meat, men shall speak well of him; and the report of his good housekeeping will be believed.

bes@Sir:34:24 @ But against him that is a niggard of his meat the whole city shall murmur; and the testimonies of his niggardness shall not be doubted of.

bes@Sir:34:26 @ The furnace proveth the edge by dipping: so doth wine the hearts of the proud by drunkenness.

bes@Sir:34:28 @ Wine measurably drunk and in season bringeth gladness of the heart, and cheerfulness of the mind:

bes@Sir:34:29 @ But wine drunken with excess maketh bitterness of the mind, with brawling and quarrelling.

bes@Sir:34:30 @ Drunkenness increaseth the rage of a fool till he offend: it diminisheth strength, and maketh wounds.

bes@Sir:35:4 @ Pour not out words where there is a musician, and shew not forth wisdom out of time.

bes@Sir:35:5 @ A concert of musick in a banquet of wine is as a signet of carbuncle set in gold.

bes@Sir:35:7 @ Speak, young man, if there be need of thee: and yet scarcely when thou art twice asked.

bes@Sir:45:17 @ He gave unto him his commandments, and authority in the statutes of judgements, that he should teach Jacob the testimonies, and inform Israel in his laws.

bes@Sir:45:18 @ Strangers conspired together against him, and maligned him in the wilderness, even the men that were of Dathan’s and Abiron’s side, and the congregation of Core, with fury and wrath.

bes@Sir:45:20 @ But he made Aaron more honourable, and gave him an heritage, and divided unto him the firstfruits of the increase; especially he prepared bread in abundance:

bes@Sir:45:21 @ For they eat of the sacrifices of the Lord, which he gave unto him and his seed.

bes@Sir:45:22 @ Howbeit in the land of the people he had no inheritance, neither had he any portion among the people: for the Lord himself is his portion and inheritance.

bes@Sir:45:23 @ The third in glory is Phinees the son of Eleazar, because he had zeal in the fear of the Lord, and stood up with good courage of heart: when the people were turned back, and made reconciliation for Israel.

bes@Sir:46:1 @ Jesus the son a Nave was valiant in the wars, and was the successor of Moses in prophecies, who according to his name was made great for the saving of the elect of God, and taking vengeance of the enemies that rose up against them, that he might set Israel in their inheritance.

bes@Sir:46:6 @ And with hailstones of mighty power he made the battle to fall violently upon the nations, and in the descent of Beth-horon he destroyed them that resisted, that the nations might know all their strength, because he fought in the sight of the Lord, and he followed the Mighty One.

bes@Sir:46:7 @ In the time of Moses also he did a work of mercy, he and Caleb the son of Jephunne, in that they withstood the congregation, and withheld the people from sin, and appeased the wicked murmuring.

bes@Sir:46:8 @ And of six hundred thousand people on foot, they two were preserved to bring them in to the heritage, even unto the land that floweth with milk and honey.

bes@Sir:46:9 @ The Lord gave strength also unto Caleb, which remained with him unto his old age: so that he entered upon the high places of the land, and his seed obtained it for an heritage:

bes@Sir:46:10 @ That all the children of Israel might see that it is good to follow the Lord.

bes@Sir:46:12 @ Let their bones flourish out of their place, and let the name of them that were honoured be continued upon their children.

bes@Sir:46:13 @ Samuel, the prophet of the Lord, beloved of his Lord, established a kingdom, and anointed princes over his people.

bes@Sir:46:14 @ By the law of the Lord he judged the congregation, and the Lord had respect unto Jacob.

bes@Sir:46:18 @ And he destroyed the rulers of the Tyrians, and all the princes of the Philistines.

bes@Sir:46:19 @ And before his long sleep he made protestations in the sight of the Lord and his anointed, I have not taken any man’s goods, so much as a shoe: and no man did accuse him.

bes@Sir:46:20 @ And after his death he prophesied, and shewed the king his end, and lifted up his voice from the earth in prophecy, to blot out the wickedness of the people.

bes@Sir:47:1 @ And after him rose up Nathan to prophesy in the time of David.

bes@Sir:47:2 @ As is the fat taken away from the peace offering, so was David chosen out of the children of Israel.

bes@Sir:47:4 @ Slew he not a giant, when he was yet but young? and did he not take away reproach from the people, when he lifted up his hand with the stone in the sling, and beat down the boasting of Goliath?

bes@Sir:47:5 @ For he called upon the most high Lord; and he gave him strength in his right hand to slay that mighty warrior, and set up the horn of his people.

bes@Sir:47:6 @ So the people honoured him with ten thousands, and praised him in the blessings of the Lord, in that he gave him a crown of glory.

bes@Sir:47:8 @ In all his works he praised the Holy One most high with words of glory; with his whole heart he sung songs, and loved him that made him.

bes@Sir:47:11 @ The Lord took away his sins, and exalted his horn for ever: he gave him a covenant of kings, and a throne of glory in Israel.

bes@Sir:47:18 @ By the name of the Lord God, which is called the Lord God of Israel, thou didst gather gold as tin and didst multiply silver as lead.

bes@Sir:47:21 @ So the kingdom was divided, and out of Ephraim ruled a rebellious kingdom.

bes@Sir:47:22 @ But the Lord will never leave off his mercy, neither shall any of his works perish, neither will he abolish the posterity of his elect, and the seed of him that loveth him he will not take away: wherefore he gave a remnant unto Jacob, and out of him a root unto David.

bes@Sir:47:23 @ Thus rested Solomon with his fathers, and of his seed he left behind him Roboam, even the foolishness of the people, and one that had no understanding, who turned away the people through his counsel. There was also Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, and shewed Ephraim the way of sin:

bes@Sir:47:24 @ And their sins were multiplied exceedingly, that they were driven out of the land.

bes@Sir:48:3 @ By the word of the Lord he shut up the heaven, and also three times brought down fire.

bes@Sir:48:5 @ Who didst raise up a dead man from death, and his soul from the place of the dead, by the word of the most High:

bes@Sir:48:7 @ Who heardest the rebuke of the Lord in Sinai, and in Horeb the judgement of vengeance:

bes@Sir:48:9 @ Who was taken up in a whirlwind of fire, and in a chariot of fiery horses:

bes@Sir:48:10 @ Who wast ordained for reproofs in their times, to pacify the wrath of the Lord’s judgement, before it brake forth into fury, and to turn the heart of the father unto the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob.

bes@Sir:48:12 @ Elias it was, who was covered with a whirlwind: and Eliseus was filled with his spirit: whilst he lived, he was not moved with the presence of any prince, neither could any bring him into subjection.

bes@Sir:48:15 @ For all this the people repented not, neither departed they from their sins, till they were spoiled and carried out of their land, and were scattered through all the earth: yet there remained a small people, and a ruler in the house of David:

bes@Sir:48:16 @ Of whom some did that which was pleasing to God, and some multiplied sins.

bes@Sir:48:20 @ But they called upon the Lord which is merciful, and stretched out their hands toward him: and immediately the Holy One heard them out of heaven, and delivered them by the ministry of Esay.

bes@Sir:48:21 @ He smote the host of the Assyrians, and his angel destroyed them.

bes@Sir:48:22 @ For Ezekias had done the thing that pleased the Lord, and was strong in the ways of David his father, as Esay the prophet, who was great and faithful in his vision, had commanded him.

bes@Sir:49:1 @ The remembrance of Josias is like the composition of the perfume that is made by the art of the apothecary: it is sweet as honey in all mouths, and as musick at a banquet of wine.

bes@Sir:49:2 @ He behaved himself uprightly in the conversion of the people, and took away the abominations of iniquity.

bes@Sir:49:3 @ He directed his heart unto the Lord, and in the time of the ungodly he established the worship of God.

bes@Sir:49:4 @ All, except David and Ezekias and Josias, were defective: for they forsook the law of the most High, even the kings of Juda failed.

bes@Sir:49:6 @ They burnt the chosen city of the sanctuary, and made the streets desolate, according to the prophecy of Jeremias.

bes@Sir:49:8 @ It was Ezekiel who saw the glorious vision, which was shewed him upon the chariot of the cherubims.

bes@Sir:49:9 @ For he made mention of the enemies under the figure of the rain, and directed them that went right.

bes@Sir:49:10 @ And of the twelve prophets let the memorial be blessed, and let their bones flourish again out of their place: for they comforted Jacob, and delivered them by assured hope.

bes@Sir:49:12 @ So was Jesus the son of Josedec: who in their time builded the house, and set up an holy temple to the Lord, which was prepared for everlasting glory.

bes@Sir:49:15 @ Neither was there a young man born like Joseph, a governor of his brethren, a stay of the people, whose bones were regarded of the Lord.

bes@Sir:50:1 @ Simon the high priest, the son of Onias, who in his life repaired the house again, and in his days fortified the temple:

bes@Sir:50:2 @ And by him was built from the foundation the double height, the high fortress of the wall about the temple:

bes@Sir:50:3 @ In his days the cistern to receive water, being in compass as the sea, was covered with plates of brass:

bes@Sir:50:4 @ He took care of the temple that it should not fall, and fortified the city against besieging:

bes@Sir:50:5 @ How was he honoured in the midst of the people in his coming out of the sanctuary!

bes@Sir:50:6 @ He was as the morning star in the midst of a cloud, and as the moon at the full:

bes@Sir:50:7 @ As the sun shining upon the temple of the most High, and as the rainbow giving light in the bright clouds:

bes@Sir:50:8 @ And as the flower of roses in the spring of the year, as lilies by the rivers of waters, and as the branches of the frankincense tree in the time of summer:

bes@Sir:50:9 @ As fire and incense in the censer, and as a vessel of beaten gold set with all manner of precious stones:

bes@Sir:50:11 @ When he put on the robe of honour, and was clothed with the perfection of glory, when he went up to the holy altar, he made the garment of holiness honourable.

bes@Sir:50:12 @ When he took the portions out of the priests’ hands, he himself stood by the hearth of the altar, compassed about, as a young cedar in Libanus; and as palm trees compassed they him round about.

bes@Sir:50:13 @ So were all the sons of Aaron in their glory, and the oblations of the Lord in their hands, before all the congregation of Israel.

bes@Sir:50:14 @ And finishing the service at the altar, that he might adorn the offering of the most high Almighty,

bes@Sir:50:15 @ He stretched out his hand to the cup, and poured of the blood of the grape, he poured out at the foot of the altar a sweetsmelling savour unto the most high King of all.

bes@Sir:50:16 @ Then shouted the sons of Aaron, and sounded the silver trumpets, and made a great noise to be heard, for a remembrance before the most High.

bes@Sir:50:18 @ The singers also sang praises with their voices, with great variety of sounds was there made sweet melody.

bes@Sir:50:19 @ And the people besought the Lord, the most High, by prayer before him that is merciful, till the solemnity of the Lord was ended, and they had finished his service.

bes@Sir:50:20 @ Then he went down, and lifted up his hands over the whole congregation of the children of Israel, to give the blessing of the Lord with his lips, and to rejoice in his name.

bes@Sir:50:22 @ Now therefore bless ye the God of all, which only doeth wondrous things every where, which exalteth our days from the womb, and dealeth with us according to his mercy.

bes@Sir:50:23 @ He grant us joyfulness of heart, and that peace may be in our days in Israel for ever:

bes@Sir:50:25 @ There be two manner of nations which my heart abhorreth, and the third is no nation:

bes@Sir:50:26 @ They that sit upon the mountain of Samaria, and they that dwell among the Philistines, and that foolish people that dwell in Sichem.

bes@Sir:50:27 @ Jesus the son of Sirach of Jerusalem hath written in this book the instruction of understanding and knowledge, who out of his heart poured forth wisdom.

bes@Sir:50:29 @ For if he do them, he shall be strong to all things: for the light of the Lord leadeth him, who giveth wisdom to the godly. Blessed be the name of the Lord for ever. Amen, Amen.

bes@Sir:51:2 @ For thou art my defender and helper, and has preserved my body from destruction, and from the snare of the slanderous tongue, and from the lips that forge lies, and has been mine helper against mine adversaries:

bes@Sir:51:3 @ And hast delivered me, according to the multitude of they mercies and greatness of thy name, from the teeth of them that were ready to devour me, and out of the hands of such as sought after my life, and from the manifold afflictions which I had;

bes@Sir:51:4 @ From the choking of fire on every side, and from the midst of the fire which I kindled not;

bes@Sir:51:5 @ From the depth of the belly of hell, from an unclean tongue, and from lying words.

bes@Sir:51:7 @ They compassed me on every side, and there was no man to help me: I looked for the succour of men, but there was none.

bes@Sir:51:8 @ Then thought I upon thy mercy, O Lord, and upon thy acts of old, how thou deliverest such as wait for thee, and savest them out of the hands of the enemies.

bes@Sir:51:10 @ I called upon the Lord, the Father of my Lord, that he would not leave me in the days of my trouble, and in the time of the proud, when there was no help.

bes@Sir:51:19 @ My soul hath wrestled with her, and in my doings I was exact: I stretched forth my hands to the heaven above, and bewailed my ignorances of her.

bes@Sir:51:23 @ Draw near unto me, ye unlearned, and dwell in the house of learning.

bes@Sir:51:28 @ Get learning with a great sum of money, and get much gold by her.

bes@Sir:51:29 @ Let your soul rejoice in his mercy, and be not ashamed of his praise.

bes@Bar:1:1 @ And these are the words of the book, which Baruch the son of Nerias, the son of Maasias, the son of Sedecias, the son of Asadias, the son of Chelcias, wrote in Babylon,

bes@Bar:1:2 @ In the fifth year, and in the seventh day of the month, what time as the Chaldeans took Jerusalem, and burnt it with fire.

bes@Bar:1:3 @ And Baruch did read the words of this book in the hearing of Jechonias the son of Joachim king of Juda, and in the ears of all the people that came to hear the book,

bes@Bar:1:4 @ And in the hearing of the nobles, and of the king’s sons, and in the hearing of the elders, and of all the people, from the lowest unto the highest, even of all them that dwelt at Babylon by the river Sud.

bes@Bar:1:6 @ They made also a collection of money according to every man’s power:

bes@Bar:1:7 @ And they sent it to Jerusalem unto Joachim the high priest, the son of Chelcias, son of Salom, and to the priests, and to all the people which were found with him at Jerusalem,

bes@Bar:1:8 @ At the same time when he received the vessels of the house of the Lord, that were carried out of the temple, to return them into the land of Juda, the tenth day of the month Sivan, namely, silver vessels, which Sedecias the son of Josias king of Jada had made,

bes@Bar:1:9 @ After that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried away Jechonias, and the princes, and the captives, and the mighty men, and the people of the land, from Jerusalem, and brought them unto Babylon.

bes@Bar:1:10 @ And they said, Behold, we have sent you money to buy you burnt offerings, and sin offerings, and incense, and prepare ye manna, and offer upon the altar of the Lord our God;

bes@Bar:1:11 @ And pray for the life of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and for the life of Balthasar his son, that their days may be upon earth as the days of heaven:

bes@Bar:1:13 @ Pray for us also unto the Lord our God, for we have sinned against the Lord our God; and unto this day the fury of the Lord and his wrath is not turned from us.

bes@Bar:1:14 @ And ye shall read this book which we have sent unto you, to make confession in the house of the Lord, upon the feasts and solemn days.

bes@Bar:1:15 @ And ye shall say, To the Lord our God belongeth righteousness, but unto us the confusion of faces, as it is come to pass this day, unto them of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

bes@Bar:1:18 @ And disobeyed him, and have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in the commandments that he gave us openly:

bes@Bar:1:19 @ Since the day that the Lord brought our forefathers out of the land of Egypt, unto this present day, we have been disobedient unto the Lord our God, and we have been negligent in not hearing his voice.

bes@Bar:1:20 @ Wherefore the evils cleaved unto us, and the curse, which the Lord appointed by Moses his servant at the time that he brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, to give us a land that floweth with milk and honey, like as it is to see this day.

bes@Bar:1:21 @ Nevertheless we have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God, according unto all the words of the prophets, whom he sent unto us:

bes@Bar:1:22 @ But every man followed the imagination of his own wicked heart, to serve strange gods, and to do evil in the sight of the Lord our God.

bes@Bar:2:1 @ Therefore the Lord hath made good his word, which he pronounced against us, and against our judges that judged Israel, and against our kings, and against our princes, and against the men of Israel and Juda,

bes@Bar:2:2 @ To bring upon us great plagues, such as never happened under the whole heaven, as it came to pass in Jerusalem, according to the things that were written in the law of Moses;

bes@Bar:2:3 @ That a man should eat the flesh of his own son, and the flesh of his own daughter.

bes@Bar:2:8 @ Yet have we not prayed before the Lord, that we might turn every one from the imaginations of his wicked heart.

bes@Bar:2:10 @ Yet we have not hearkened unto his voice, to walk in the commandments of the Lord, that he hath set before us.

bes@Bar:2:11 @ And now, O Lord God of Israel, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and high arm, and with signs, and with wonders, and with great power, and hast gotten thyself a name, as appeareth this day:

bes@Bar:2:14 @ Hear our prayers, O Lord, and our petitions, and deliver us for thine own sake, and give us favour in the sight of them which have led us away:

bes@Bar:2:19 @ Therefore we do not make our humble supplication before thee, O Lord our God, for the righteousness of our fathers, and of our kings.

bes@Bar:2:21 @ Thus saith the Lord, Bow down your shoulders to serve the king of Babylon: so shall ye remain in the land that I gave unto your fathers.

bes@Bar:2:22 @ But if ye will not hear the voice of the Lord, to serve the king of Babylon,

bes@Bar:2:23 @ I will cause to cease out of the cites of Judah, and from without Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: and the whole land shall be desolate of inhabitants.

bes@Bar:2:24 @ But we would not hearken unto thy voice, to serve the king of Babylon: therefore hast thou made good the words that thou spakest by thy servants the prophets, namely, that the bones of our kings, and the bones of our fathers, should be taken out of their place.

bes@Bar:2:25 @ And, lo, they are cast out to the heat of the day, and to the frost of the night, and they died in great miseries by famine, by sword, and by pestilence.

bes@Bar:2:26 @ And the house which is called by thy name hast thou laid waste, as it is to be seen this day, for the wickedness of the house of Israel and the house of Juda.

bes@Bar:2:27 @ O Lord our God, thou hast dealt with us after all thy goodness, and according to all that great mercy of thine,

bes@Bar:2:28 @ As thou spakest by thy servant Moses in the day when thou didst command him to write the law before the children of Israel, saying,

bes@Bar:2:30 @ For I knew that they would not hear me, because it is a stiffnecked people: but in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves.

bes@Bar:2:32 @ And they shall praise me in the land of their captivity, and think upon my name,

bes@Bar:2:33 @ And return from their stiff neck, and from their wicked deeds: for they shall remember the way of their fathers, which sinned before the Lord.

bes@Bar:2:34 @ And I will bring them again into the land which I promised with an oath unto their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and they shall be lords of it: and I will increase them, and they shall not be diminished.

bes@Bar:2:35 @ And I will make an everlasting covenant with them to be their God, and they shall be my people: and I will no more drive my people of Israel out of the land that I have given them.

bes@Bar:3:1 @ O Lord Almighty, God of Israel, the soul in anguish the troubled spirit, crieth unto thee.

bes@Bar:3:4 @ O Lord Almighty, thou God of Israel, hear now the prayers of the dead Israelites, and of their children, which have sinned before thee, and not hearkened unto the voice of thee their God: for the which cause these plagues cleave unto us.

bes@Bar:3:5 @ Remember not the iniquities of our forefathers: but think upon thy power and thy name now at this time.

bes@Bar:3:7 @ And for this cause 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 have called to mind all the iniquity of our forefathers, that sinned before thee.

bes@Bar:3:8 @ Behold, we are yet this day in our captivity, where thou hast scattered us, for a reproach and a curse, and to be subject to payments, according to all the iniquities of our fathers, which departed from the Lord our God.

bes@Bar:3:9 @ Hear, Israel, the commandments of life: give ear to understand wisdom.

bes@Bar:3:12 @ Thou hast forsaken the fountain of wisdom.

bes@Bar:3:13 @ For if thou hadst walked in the way of God, thou shouldest have dwelled in peace for ever.

bes@Bar:3:14 @ Learn where is wisdom, where is strength, where is understanding; that thou mayest know also where is length of days, and life, where is the light of the eyes, and peace.

bes@Bar:3:16 @ Where are the princes of the heathen become, and such as ruled the beasts upon the earth;

bes@Bar:3:17 @ They that had their pastime with the fowls of the air, and they that hoarded up silver and gold, wherein men trust, and made no end of their getting?

bes@Bar:3:20 @ Young men have seen light, and dwelt upon the earth: but the way of knowledge have they not known,

bes@Bar:3:21 @ Nor understood the paths thereof, nor laid hold of it: their children were far off from that way.

bes@Bar:3:22 @ It hath not been heard of in Chanaan, neither hath it been seen in Theman.

bes@Bar:3:23 @ The Agarenes that seek wisdom upon earth, the merchants of Meran and of Theman, the authors of fables, and searchers out of understanding; none of these have known the way of wisdom, or remember her paths.

bes@Bar:3:24 @ O Israel, how great is the house of God! and how large is the place of his possession!

bes@Bar:3:26 @ There were the giants famous from the beginning, that were of so great stature, and so expert in war.

bes@Bar:3:27 @ Those did not the Lord choose, neither gave he the way of knowledge unto them:

bes@Bar:3:31 @ No man knoweth her way, nor thinketh of her path.

bes@Bar:3:35 @ This is our God, and there shall none other be accounted of in comparison of him

bes@Bar:3:36 @ He hath found out all the way of knowledge, and hath given it unto Jacob his servant, and to Israel his beloved.

bes@Bar:4:1 @ This is the book of the commandments of God, and the law that endureth for ever: all they that keep it shall come to life; but such as leave it shall die.

bes@Bar:4:2 @ Turn thee, O Jacob, and take hold of it: walk in the presence of the light thereof, that thou mayest be illuminated.

bes@Bar:4:5 @ Be of good cheer, my people, the memorial of Israel.

bes@Bar:4:9 @ For when she saw the wrath of God coming upon you, she said, Hearken, O ye that dwell about Sion: God hath brought upon me great mourning;

bes@Bar:4:10 @ For I saw the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting brought upon them.

bes@Bar:4:12 @ Let no man rejoice over me, a widow, and forsaken of many, who for the sins of my children am left desolate; because they departed from the law of God.

bes@Bar:4:13 @ They knew not his statutes, nor walked in the ways of his commandments, nor trod in the paths of discipline in his righteousness.

bes@Bar:4:14 @ Let them that dwell about Sion come, and remember ye the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting hath brought upon them.

bes@Bar:4:15 @ For he hath brought a nation upon them from far, a shameless nation, and of a strange language, who neither reverenced old man, nor pitied child.

bes@Bar:4:16 @ These have carried away the dear beloved children of the widow, and left her that was alone desolate without daughters.

bes@Bar:4:18 @ For he that brought these plagues upon you will deliver you from the hands of your enemies.

bes@Bar:4:20 @ I have put off the clothing of peace, and put upon me the sackcloth of my prayer: I will cry unto the Everlasting in my days.

bes@Bar:4:21 @ Be of good cheer, O my children, cry unto the Lord, and he will deliver you from the power and hand of the enemies.

bes@Bar:4:22 @ For my hope is in the Everlasting, that he will save you; and joy is come unto me from the Holy One, because of the mercy which shall soon come unto you from the Everlasting our Saviour.

bes@Bar:4:24 @ Like as now the neighbours of Sion have seen your captivity: so shall they see shortly your salvation from our God which shall come upon you with great glory, and brightness of the Everlasting.

bes@Bar:4:26 @ My delicate ones have gone rough ways, and were taken away as a flock caught of the enemies.

bes@Bar:4:27 @ Be of good comfort, O my children, and cry unto God: for ye shall be remembered of him that brought these things upon you.

bes@Bar:4:33 @ For as she rejoiced at thy ruin, and was glad of thy fall: so shall she be grieved for her own desolation.

bes@Bar:4:34 @ For I will take away the rejoicing of her great multitude, and her pride shall be turned into mourning.

bes@Bar:4:35 @ For fire shall come upon her from the Everlasting, long to endure; and she shall be inhabited of devils for a great time.

bes@Bar:4:37 @ Lo, thy sons come, whom thou sentest away, they come gathered together from the east to the west by the word of the Holy One, rejoicing in the glory of God.

bes@Bar:5:1 @ Put off, O Jerusalem, the garment of mourning and affliction, and put on the comeliness of the glory that cometh from God for ever.

bes@Bar:5:2 @ Cast about thee a double garment of the righteousness which cometh from God; and set a diadem on thine head of the glory of the Everlasting.

bes@Bar:5:4 @ For thy name shall be called of God for ever The peace of righteousness, and The glory of God’s worship.

bes@Bar:5:5 @ Arise, O Jerusalem, and stand on high, and look about toward the east, and behold thy children gathered from the west unto the east by the word of the Holy One, rejoicing in the remembrance of God.

bes@Bar:5:6 @ For they departed from thee on foot, and were led away of their enemies: but God bringeth them unto thee exalted with glory, as children of the kingdom.

bes@Bar:5:7 @ For God hath appointed that every high hill, and banks of long continuance, should be cast down, and valleys filled up, to make even the ground, that Israel may go safely in the glory of God,

bes@Bar:5:8 @ Moreover even the woods and every sweetsmelling tree shall overshadow Israel by the commandment of God.

bes@Bar:5:9 @ For God shall lead Israel with joy in the light of his glory with the mercy and righteousness that cometh from him.

bes@Bar:6:1 @ A copy of an epistle, which Jeremy sent unto them which were to be led captives into Babylon by the king of the Babylonians, to certify them, as it was commanded him of God.

bes@Bar:6:2 @ Because of the sins which ye have committed before God, ye shall be led away captives into Babylon by Nabuchodonosor king of the Babylonians.

bes@Bar:6:4 @ Now shall ye see in Babylon gods of silver, and of gold, and of wood, borne upon shoulders, which cause the nations to fear.

bes@Bar:6:5 @ Beware therefore that ye in no wise be like to strangers, neither be ye and of them, when ye see the multitude before them and behind them, worshipping them.

bes@Bar:6:9 @ And taking gold, as it were for a virgin that loveth to go gay, they make crowns for the heads of their gods.

bes@Bar:6:11 @ Yea, they will give thereof to the common harlots, and deck them as men with garments, being gods of silver, and gods of gold, and wood.

bes@Bar:6:13 @ They wipe their faces because of the dust of the temple, when there is much upon them.

bes@Bar:6:14 @ And he that cannot put to death one that offendeth him holdeth a sceptre, as though he were a judge of the country.

bes@Bar:6:17 @ For like as a vessel that a man useth is nothing worth when it is broken; even so it is with their gods: when they be set up in the temple, their eyes be full of dust through the feet of them that come in.

bes@Bar:6:20 @ They are as one of the beams of the temple, yet they say their hearts are gnawed upon by things creeping out of the earth; and when they eat them and their clothes, they feel it not.

bes@Bar:6:21 @ Their faces are blacked through the smoke that cometh out of the temple.

bes@Bar:6:27 @ They also that serve them are ashamed: for if they fall to the ground at any time, they cannot rise up again of themselves: neither, if one set them upright, can they move of themselves: neither, if they be bowed down, can they make themselves straight: but they set gifts before them as unto dead men.

bes@Bar:6:28 @ As for the things that are sacrificed unto them, their priests sell and abuse; in like manner their wives lay up part thereof in salt; but unto the poor and impotent they give nothing of it.

bes@Bar:6:30 @ For how can they be called gods? because women set meat before the gods of silver, gold, and wood.

bes@Bar:6:39 @ Their gods of wood, and which are overlaid with gold and silver, are like the stones that be hewn out of the mountain: they that worship them shall be confounded.

bes@Bar:6:43 @ The women also with cords about them, sitting in the ways, burn bran for perfume: but if any of them, drawn by some that passeth by, lie with him, she reproacheth her fellow, that she was not thought as worthy as herself, nor her cord broken.

bes@Bar:6:45 @ They are made of carpenters and goldsmiths: they can be nothing else than the workmen will have them to be.

bes@Bar:6:46 @ And they themselves that made them can never continue long; how should then the things that are made of them be gods?

bes@Bar:6:50 @ For seeing they be but of wood, and overlaid with silver and gold, it shall be known hereafter that they are false:

bes@Bar:6:51 @ And it shall manifestly appear to all nations and kings that they are no gods, but the works of men’s hands, and that there is no work of God in them.

bes@Bar:6:55 @ Whereupon when fire falleth upon the house of gods of wood, or laid over with gold or silver, their priests will flee away, and escape; but they themselves shall be burned asunder like beams.

bes@Bar:6:57 @ Neither are those gods of wood, and laid over with silver or gold, able to escape either from thieves or robbers.

bes@Bar:6:59 @ Therefore it is better to be a king that sheweth his power, or else a profitable vessel in an house, which the owner shall have use of, than such false gods; or to be a door in an house, to keep such things therein, than such false gods. or a pillar of wood in a palace, than such false gods.

bes@Bar:6:70 @ For as a scarecrow in a garden of cucumbers keepeth nothing: so are their gods of wood, and laid over with silver and gold.

bes@Bar:6:71 @ And likewise their gods of wood, and laid over with silver and gold, are like to a white thorn in an orchard, that every bird sitteth upon; as also to a dead body, that is east into the dark.

bes@1Macc:1:1 @ And it happened, after that Alexander son of Philip, the Macedonian, who came out of the land of Chettiim, had smitten Darius king of the Persians and Medes, that he reigned in his stead, the first over Greece,

bes@1Macc:1:2 @ And made many wars, and won many strong holds, and slew the kings of the earth,

bes@1Macc:1:3 @ And went through to the ends of the earth, and took spoils of many nations, insomuch that the earth was quiet before him; whereupon he was exalted and his heart was lifted up.

bes@1Macc:1:10 @ And there came out of them a wicked root Antiochus surnamed Epiphanes, son of Antiochus the king, who had been an hostage at Rome, and he reigned in the hundred and thirty and seventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks.

bes@1Macc:1:11 @ In those days went there out of Israel wicked men, who persuaded many, saying, Let us go and make a covenant with the heathen that are round about us: for since we departed from them we have had much sorrow.

bes@1Macc:1:13 @ Then certain of the people were so forward herein, that they went to the king, who gave them licence to do after the ordinances of the heathen:

bes@1Macc:1:14 @ Whereupon they built a place of exercise at Jerusalem according to the customs of the heathen:

bes@1Macc:1:16 @ Now when the kingdom was established before Antiochus, he thought to reign over Egypt that he might have the dominion of two realms.

bes@1Macc:1:18 @ And made war against Ptolemee king of Egypt: but Ptolemee was afraid of him, and fled; and many were wounded to death.

bes@1Macc:1:19 @ Thus they got the strong cities in the land of Egypt and he took the spoils thereof.

bes@1Macc:1:21 @ And entered proudly into the sanctuary, and took away the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all the vessels thereof,

bes@1Macc:1:22 @ And the table of the shewbread, and the pouring vessels, and the vials. and the censers of gold, and the veil, and the crown, and the golden ornaments that were before the temple, all which he pulled off.

bes@1Macc:1:26 @ So that the princes and elders mourned, the virgins and young men were made feeble, and the beauty of women was changed.

bes@1Macc:1:28 @ The land also was moved for the inhabitants thereof, and all the house of Jacob was covered with confusion.

bes@1Macc:1:29 @ And after two years fully expired the king sent his chief collector of tribute unto the cities of Juda, who came unto Jerusalem with a great multitude,

bes@1Macc:1:30 @ And spake peaceable words unto them, but all was deceit: for when they had given him credence, he fell suddenly upon the city, and smote it very sore, and destroyed much people of Israel.

bes@1Macc:1:31 @ And when he had taken the spoils of the city, he set it on fire, and pulled down the houses and walls thereof on every side.

bes@1Macc:1:33 @ Then builded they the city of David with a great and strong wall, and with mighty towers, and made it a strong hold for them.

bes@1Macc:1:35 @ They stored it also with armour and victuals, and when they had gathered together the spoils of Jerusalem, they laid them up there, and so they became a sore snare:

bes@1Macc:1:37 @ Thus they shed innocent blood on every side of the sanctuary, and defiled it:

bes@1Macc:1:38 @ Insomuch that the inhabitants of Jerusalem fled because of them: whereupon the city was made an habitation of strangers, and became strange to those that were born in her; and her own children left her.

bes@1Macc:1:42 @ And every one should leave his laws: so all the heathen agreed according to the commandment of the king.

bes@1Macc:1:43 @ Yea, many also of the Israelites consented to his religion, and sacrificed unto idols, and profaned the sabbath.

bes@1Macc:1:44 @ For the king had sent letters by messengers unto Jerusalem and the cities of Juda that they should follow the strange laws of the land,

bes@1Macc:1:47 @ Set up altars, and groves, and chapels of idols, and sacrifice swine’s flesh, and unclean beasts:

bes@1Macc:1:48 @ That they should also leave their children uncircumcised, and make their souls abominable with all manner of uncleanness and profanation:

bes@1Macc:1:50 @ And whosoever would not do according to the commandment of the king, he said, he should die.

bes@1Macc:1:51 @ In the selfsame manner wrote he to his whole kingdom, and appointed overseers over all the people, commanding the cities of Juda to sacrifice, city by city.

bes@1Macc:1:52 @ Then many of the people were gathered unto them, to wit every one that forsook the law; and so they committed evils in the land;

bes@1Macc:1:54 @ Now the fifteenth day of the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and fifth year, they set up the abomination of desolation upon the altar, and builded idol altars throughout the cities of Juda on every side;

bes@1Macc:1:55 @ And burnt incense at the doors of their houses, and in the streets.

bes@1Macc:1:56 @ And when they had rent in pieces the books of the law which they found, they burnt them with fire.

bes@1Macc:1:57 @ And whosoever was found with any the book of the testament, or if any committed to the law, the king’s commandment was, that they should put him to death.

bes@1Macc:1:59 @ Now the five and twentieth day of the month they did sacrifice upon the idol altar, which was upon the altar of God.

bes@1Macc:2:1 @ In those days arose Mattathias the son of John, the son of Simeon, a priest of the sons of Joarib, from Jerusalem, and dwelt in Modin.

bes@1Macc:2:7 @ He said, Woe is me! wherefore was I born to see this misery of my people, and of the holy city, and to dwell there, when it was delivered into the hand of the enemy, and the sanctuary into the hand of strangers?

bes@1Macc:2:9 @ Her glorious vessels are carried away into captivity, her infants are slain in the streets, her young men with the sword of the enemy.

bes@1Macc:2:10 @ What nation hath not had a part in her kingdom and gotten of her spoils?

bes@1Macc:2:11 @ All her ornaments are taken away; of a free woman she is become a bondslave.

bes@1Macc:2:16 @ And when many of Israel came unto them, Mattathias also and his sons came together.

bes@1Macc:2:18 @ Now therefore come thou first, and fulfil the king’s commandment, like as all the heathen have done, yea, and the men of Juda also, and such as remain at Jerusalem: so shalt thou and thy house be in the number of the king’s friends, and thou and thy children shall be honoured with silver and gold, and many rewards.

bes@1Macc:2:19 @ Then Mattathias answered and spake with a loud voice, Though all the nations that are under the king’s dominion obey him, and fall away every one from the religion of their fathers, and give consent to his commandments:

bes@1Macc:2:20 @ Yet will I and my sons and my brethren walk in the covenant of our fathers.

bes@1Macc:2:23 @ Now when he had left speaking these words, there came one of the Jews in the sight of all to sacrifice on the altar which was at Modin, according to the king’s commandment.

bes@1Macc:2:26 @ Thus dealt he zealously for the law of God like as Phinees did unto Zambri the son of Salom.

bes@1Macc:2:27 @ And Mattathias cried throughout the city with a loud voice, saying, Whosoever is zealous of the law, and maintaineth the covenant, let him follow me.

bes@1Macc:2:31 @ Now when it was told the king’s servants, and the host that was at Jerusalem, in the city of David, that certain men, who had broken the king’s commandment, were gone down into the secret places in the wilderness,

bes@1Macc:2:33 @ And they said unto them, Let that which ye have done hitherto suffice; come forth, and do according to the commandment of the king, and ye shall live.

bes@1Macc:2:38 @ So they rose up against them in battle on the sabbath, and they slew them, with their wives and children and their cattle, to the number of a thousand people.

bes@1Macc:2:40 @ And one of them said to another, If we all do as our brethren have done, and fight not for our lives and laws against the heathen, they will now quickly root us out of the earth.

bes@1Macc:2:42 @ Then came there unto him a company of Assideans who were mighty men of Israel, even all such as were voluntarily devoted unto the law.

bes@1Macc:2:46 @ And what children soever they found within the coast of Israel uncircumcised, those they circumcised valiantly.

bes@1Macc:2:48 @ So they recovered the law out of the hand of the Gentiles, and out of the hand of kings, neither suffered they the sinner to triumph.

bes@1Macc:2:49 @ Now when the time drew near that Mattathias should die, he said unto his sons, Now hath pride and rebuke gotten strength, and the time of destruction, and the wrath of indignation:

bes@1Macc:2:50 @ Now therefore, my sons, be ye zealous for the law, and give your lives for the covenant of your fathers.

bes@1Macc:2:53 @ Joseph in the time of his distress kept the commandment and was made lord of Egypt.

bes@1Macc:2:54 @ Phinees our father in being zealous and fervent obtained the covenant of an everlasting priesthood.

bes@1Macc:2:56 @ Caleb for bearing witness before the congregation received the heritage of the land.

bes@1Macc:2:57 @ David for being merciful possessed the throne of an everlasting kingdom.

bes@1Macc:2:59 @ Ananias, Azarias, and Misael, by believing were saved out of the flame.

bes@1Macc:2:60 @ Daniel for his innocency was delivered from the mouth of lions.

bes@1Macc:2:62 @ Fear not then the words of a sinful man: for his glory shall be dung and worms.

bes@1Macc:2:64 @ Wherefore, ye my sons, be valiant and shew yourselves men in the behalf of the law; for by it shall ye obtain glory.

bes@1Macc:2:65 @ And behold, I know that your brother Simon is a man of counsel, give ear unto him alway: he shall be a father unto you.

bes@1Macc:2:66 @ As for Judas Maccabeus, he hath been mighty and strong, even from his youth up: let him be your captain, and fight the battle of the people.

bes@1Macc:2:67 @ Take also unto you all those that observe the law, and avenge ye the wrong of your people.

bes@1Macc:2:68 @ Recompense fully the heathen, and take heed to the commandments of the law.

bes@1Macc:2:70 @ And he died in the hundred forty and sixth year, and his sons buried him in the sepulchres of his fathers at Modin, and all Israel made great lamentation for him.

bes@1Macc:3:2 @ And all his brethren helped him, and so did all they that held with his father, and they fought with cheerfulness the battle of Israel.

bes@1Macc:3:6 @ Wherefore the wicked shrunk for fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled, because salvation prospered in his hand.

bes@1Macc:3:8 @ Moreover he went through the cities of Juda, destroying the ungodly out of them, and turning away wrath from Israel:

bes@1Macc:3:9 @ So that he was renowned unto the utmost part of the earth, and he received unto him such as were ready to perish.

bes@1Macc:3:10 @ Then Apollonius gathered the Gentiles together, and a great host out of Samaria, to fight against Israel.

bes@1Macc:3:13 @ Now when Seron, a prince of the army of Syria, heard say that Judas had gathered unto him a multitude and company of the faithful to go out with him to war;

bes@1Macc:3:15 @ So he made him ready to go up, and there went with him a mighty host of the ungodly to help him, and to be avenged of the children of Israel.

bes@1Macc:3:16 @ And when he came near to the going up of Bethhoron, Judas went forth to meet him with a small company:

bes@1Macc:3:18 @ Unto whom Judas answered, It is no hard matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few; and with the God of heaven it is all one, to deliver with a great multitude, or a small company:

bes@1Macc:3:19 @ For the victory of battle standeth not in the multitude of an host; but strength cometh from heaven.

bes@1Macc:3:22 @ Wherefore the Lord himself will overthrow them before our face: and as for you, be ye not afraid of them.

bes@1Macc:3:24 @ And they pursued them from the going down of Bethhoron unto the plain, where were slain about eight hundred men of them; and the residue fled into the land of the Philistines.

bes@1Macc:3:25 @ Then began the fear of Judas and his brethren, and an exceeding great dread, to fall upon the nations round about them:

bes@1Macc:3:26 @ Insomuch as his fame came unto the king, and all nations talked of the battles of Judas.

bes@1Macc:3:27 @ Now when king Antiochus heard these things, he was full of indignation: wherefore he sent and gathered together all the forces of his realm, even a very strong army.

bes@1Macc:3:29 @ Nevertheless, when he saw that the money of his treasures failed and that the tributes in the country were small, because of the dissension and plague, which he had brought upon the land in taking away the laws which had been of old time;

bes@1Macc:3:31 @ Wherefore, being greatly perplexed in his mind, he determined to go into Persia, there to take the tributes of the countries, and to gather much money.

bes@1Macc:3:32 @ So he left Lysias, a nobleman, and one of the blood royal, to oversee the affairs of the king from the river Euphrates unto the borders of Egypt:

bes@1Macc:3:34 @ Moreover he delivered unto him the half of his forces, and the elephants, and gave him charge of all things that he would have done, as also concerning them that dwelt in Juda and Jerusalem:

bes@1Macc:3:35 @ To wit, 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 their memorial from that place;

bes@1Macc:3:37 @ So the king took the half of the forces that remained, and departed from Antioch, his royal city, the hundred forty and seventh year; and having passed the river Euphrates, he went through the high countries.

bes@1Macc:3:38 @ Then Lysias chose Ptolemee the son of Dorymenes, Nicanor, and Gorgias, mighty men of the king’s friends:

bes@1Macc:3:39 @ And with them he sent forty thousand footmen, and seven thousand horsemen, to go into the land of Juda, and to destroy it, as the king commanded.

bes@1Macc:3:41 @ And the merchants of the country, hearing the fame of them, took silver and gold very much, with servants, and came into the camp to buy the children of Israel for slaves: a power also of Syria and of the land of the Philistines joined themselves unto them.

bes@1Macc:3:43 @ They said one to another, Let us restore the decayed fortune of our people, and let us fight for our people and the sanctuary.

bes@1Macc:3:45 @ Now Jerusalem lay void as a wilderness, there was none of her children that went in or out: the sanctuary also was trodden down, and aliens kept the strong hold; the heathen had their habitation in that place; and joy was taken from Jacob, and the pipe with the harp ceased.

bes@1Macc:3:48 @ And laid open the book of the law, wherein the heathen had sought to paint the likeness of their images.

bes@1Macc:3:57 @ So the camp removed, and pitched upon the south side of Emmaus.

bes@1Macc:3:59 @ For it is better for us to die in battle, than to behold the calamities of our people and our sanctuary.

bes@1Macc:3:60 @ Nevertheless, as the will of God is in heaven, so let him do.

bes@1Macc:4:1 @ Then took Gorgias five thousand footmen, and a thousand of the best horsemen, and removed out of the camp by night;

bes@1Macc:4:2 @ To the end he might rush in upon the camp of the Jews, and smite them suddenly. And the men of the fortress were his guides.

bes@1Macc:4:5 @ In the mean season came Gorgias by night into the camp of Judas: and when he found no man there, he sought them in the mountains: for said he, These fellows flee from us

bes@1Macc:4:7 @ And they saw the camp of the heathen, that it was strong and well harnessed, and compassed round about with horsemen; and these were expert of war.

bes@1Macc:4:8 @ Then said Judas to the men that were with him, Fear ye not their multitude, neither be ye afraid of their assault.

bes@1Macc:4:10 @ Now therefore let us cry unto heaven, if peradventure the Lord will have mercy upon us, and remember the covenant of our fathers, and destroy this host before our face this day:

bes@1Macc:4:13 @ Wherefore they went out of the camp to battle; but they that were with Judas sounded their trumpets.

bes@1Macc:4:15 @ Howbeit all the hindmost of them were slain with the sword: for they pursued them unto Gazera, and unto the plains of Idumea, and Azotus, and Jamnia, so that there were slain of them upon a three thousand men.

bes@1Macc:4:17 @ And said to the people, Be not greedy of the spoil inasmuch as there is a battle before us,

bes@1Macc:4:19 @ As Judas was yet speaking these words, there appeared a part of them looking out of the mountain:

bes@1Macc:4:21 @ When therefore they perceived these things, they were sore afraid, and seeing also the host of Judas in the plain ready to fight,

bes@1Macc:4:22 @ They fled every one into the land of strangers.

bes@1Macc:4:23 @ Then Judas returned to spoil the tents, where they got much gold, and silver, and blue silk, and purple of the sea, and great riches.

bes@1Macc:4:24 @ After this they went home, and sung a song of thanksgiving, and praised the Lord in heaven: because it is good, because his mercy endureth forever.

bes@1Macc:4:28 @ The next year therefore following Lysias gathered together threescore thousand choice men of foot, and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them.

bes@1Macc:4:30 @ And when he saw that mighty army, he prayed and said, Blessed art thou, O Saviour of Israel, who didst quell the violence of the mighty man by the hand of thy servant David, and gavest the host of strangers into the hands of Jonathan the son of Saul, and his armourbearer;

bes@1Macc:4:31 @ Shut up this army in the hand of thy people Israel, and let them be confounded in their power and horsemen:

bes@1Macc:4:32 @ Make them to be of no courage, and cause the boldness of their strength to fall away, and let them quake at their destruction:

bes@1Macc:4:33 @ Cast them down with the sword of them that love thee, and let all those that know thy name praise thee with thanksgiving.

bes@1Macc:4:34 @ So they joined battle; and there were slain of the host of Lysias about five thousand men, even before them were they slain.

bes@1Macc:4:35 @ Now when Lysias saw his army put to flight, and the manliness of Judas’ soldiers, and how they were ready either to live or die valiantly, he went into Antiochia, and gathered together a company of strangers, and having made his army greater than it was, he purposed to come again into Judea.

bes@1Macc:4:38 @ And when they saw the sanctuary desolate, and the altar profaned, and the gates burned up, and shrubs growing in the courts as in a forest, or in one of the mountains, yea, and the priests’ chambers pulled down;

bes@1Macc:4:42 @ So he chose priests of blameless conversation, such as had pleasure in the law:

bes@1Macc:4:44 @ And when as they consulted what to do with the altar of burnt offerings, which was profaned;

bes@1Macc:4:46 @ And laid up the stones in the mountain of the temple in a convenient place, until there should come a prophet to shew what should be done with them.

bes@1Macc:4:49 @ They made also new holy vessels, and into the temple they brought the candlestick, and the altar of burnt offerings, and of incense, and the table.

bes@1Macc:4:52 @ Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, which is called the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up betimes in the morning,

bes@1Macc:4:53 @ And offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of burnt offerings, which they had made.

bes@1Macc:4:55 @ Then all the people fell upon their faces, worshipping and praising the God of heaven, who had given them good success.

bes@1Macc:4:56 @ And so they kept the dedication of the altar eight days and offered burnt offerings with gladness, and sacrificed the sacrifice of deliverance and praise.

bes@1Macc:4:57 @ They decked also the forefront of the temple with crowns of gold, and with shields; and the gates and the chambers they renewed, and hanged doors upon them.

bes@1Macc:4:58 @ Thus was there very great gladness among the people, for that the reproach of the heathen was put away.

bes@1Macc:4:59 @ Moreover Judas and his brethren with the whole congregation of Israel ordained, that the days of the dedication of the altar should be kept in their season from year to year by the space of eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month Casleu, with mirth and gladness.

bes@1Macc:5:2 @ Wherefore they thought to destroy the generation of Jacob that was among them, and thereupon they began to slay and destroy the people.

bes@1Macc:5:3 @ Then Judas fought against the children of Esau in Idumea at Arabattine, because they besieged Gael: and he gave them a great overthrow, and abated their courage, and took their spoils.

bes@1Macc:5:4 @ Also he remembered the injury of the children of Bean, who had been a snare and an offence unto the people, in that they lay in wait for them in the ways.

bes@1Macc:5:5 @ He shut them up therefore in the towers, and encamped against them, and destroyed them utterly, and burned the towers of that place with fire, and all that were therein.

bes@1Macc:5:6 @ Afterward he passed over to the children of Ammon, where he found a mighty power, and much people, with Timotheus their captain.

bes@1Macc:5:9 @ Then the heathen that were at Galaad assembled themselves together against the Israelites that were in their quarters, to destroy them; but they fled to the fortress of Dathema.

bes@1Macc:5:11 @ And they are preparing to come and take the fortress whereunto we are fled, Timotheus being captain of their host.

bes@1Macc:5:12 @ Come now therefore, and deliver us from their hands, for many of us are slain:

bes@1Macc:5:13 @ Yea, all our brethren that were in the places of Tobie are put to death: their wives and their children also they have carried away captives, and borne away their stuff; and they have destroyed there about a thousand men.

bes@1Macc:5:15 @ And said, They of Ptolemais, and of Tyrus, and Sidon, and all Galilee of the Gentiles, are assembled together against us to consume us.

bes@1Macc:5:16 @ Now when Judas and the people heard these words, there assembled a great congregation together, to consult what they should do for their brethren, that were in trouble, and assaulted of them.

bes@1Macc:5:17 @ Then said Judas unto Simon his brother, Choose thee out men, and go and deliver thy brethren that are in Galilee, for I and Jonathan my brother will go into the country of Galaad.

bes@1Macc:5:18 @ So he left Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains of the people, with the remnant of the host in Judea to keep it.

bes@1Macc:5:19 @ Unto whom he gave commandment, saying, Take ye the charge of this people, and see that ye make not war against the heathen until the time that we come again.

bes@1Macc:5:20 @ Now unto Simon were given three thousand men to go into Galilee, and unto Judas eight thousand men for the country of Galaad.

bes@1Macc:5:22 @ And he pursued them unto the gate of Ptolemais; and there were slain of the heathen about three thousand men, whose spoils he took.

bes@1Macc:5:25 @ Where they met with the Nabathites, who came unto them in a peaceable manner, and told them every thing that had happened to their brethren in the land of Galaad:

bes@1Macc:5:26 @ And how that many of them were shut up in Bosora, and Bosor, and Alema, Casphor, Maked, and Carnaim; all these cities are strong and great:

bes@1Macc:5:27 @ And that they were shut up in the rest of the cities of the country of Galaad, and that against to morrow they had appointed to bring their host against the forts, and to take them, and to destroy them all in one day.

bes@1Macc:5:28 @ Hereupon Judas and his host turned suddenly by the way of the wilderness unto Bosora; and when he had won the city, he slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burned the city with fire,

bes@1Macc:5:30 @ And betimes in the morning they looked up, and, behold, there was an innumerable people bearing ladders and other engines of war, to take the fortress: for they assaulted them.

bes@1Macc:5:31 @ When Judas therefore saw that the battle was begun, and that the cry of the city went up to heaven, with trumpets, and a great sound,

bes@1Macc:5:34 @ Then the host of Timotheus, knowing that it was Maccabeus, fled from him: wherefore he smote them with a great slaughter; so that there were killed of them that day about eight thousand men.

bes@1Macc:5:36 @ From thence went he, and took Casphon, Maged, Bosor, and the other cities of the country of Galaad.

bes@1Macc:5:40 @ Then Timotheus said unto the captains of his host, When Judas and his host come near the brook, if he pass over first unto us, we shall not be able to withstand him; for he will mightily prevail against us:

bes@1Macc:5:42 @ Now when Judas came near the brook, he caused the scribes of the people to remain by the brook: unto whom he gave commandment, saying, Suffer no man to remain in the camp, but let all come to the battle.

bes@1Macc:5:45 @ Then Judas gathered together all the Israelites that were in the country of Galaad, from the least unto the greatest, even their wives, and their children, and their stuff, a very great host, to the end they might come into the land of Judea.

bes@1Macc:5:46 @ Now when they came unto Ephron, (this was a great city in the way as they should go, very well fortified) they could not turn from it, either on the right hand or the left, but must needs pass through the midst of it.

bes@1Macc:5:47 @ Then they of the city shut them out, and stopped up the gates with stones.

bes@1Macc:5:51 @ Who then slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and rased the city, and took the spoils thereof, and passed through the city over them that were slain.

bes@1Macc:5:53 @ And Judas gathered together those that came behind, and exhorted the people all the way through, till they came into the land of Judea.

bes@1Macc:5:54 @ So they went up to mount Sion with joy and gladness, where they offered burnt offerings, because not one of them were slain until they had returned in peace.

bes@1Macc:5:55 @ Now what time as Judas and Jonathan were in the land of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee before Ptolemais,

bes@1Macc:5:56 @ Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains of the garrisons, heard of the valiant acts and warlike deeds which they had done.

bes@1Macc:5:59 @ Then came Gorgias and his men out of the city to fight against them.

bes@1Macc:5:60 @ And so it was, that Joseph and Azarias were put to flight, and pursued unto the borders of Judea: and there were slain that day of the people of Israel about two thousand men.

bes@1Macc:5:61 @ Thus was there a great overthrow among the children of Israel, because they were not obedient unto Judas and his brethren, but thought to do some valiant act.

bes@1Macc:5:62 @ Moreover these men came not of the seed of those, by whose hand deliverance was given unto Israel.

bes@1Macc:5:63 @ Howbeit the man Judas and his brethren were greatly renowned in the sight of all Israel, and of all the heathen, wheresoever their name was heard of;

bes@1Macc:5:65 @ Afterward went Judas forth with his brethren, and fought against the children of Esau in the land toward the south, where he smote Hebron, and the towns thereof, and pulled down the fortress of it, and burned the towers thereof round about.

bes@1Macc:5:66 @ From thence he removed to go into the land of the Philistines, and passed through Samaria.

bes@1Macc:5:68 @ So Judas turned to Azotus in the land of the Philistines, and when he had pulled down their altars, and burned their carved images with fire, and spoiled their cities, he returned into the land of Judea.

bes@1Macc:6:1 @ About that time king Antiochus travelling through the high countries heard say, that Elymais in the country of Persia was a city greatly renowned for riches, silver, and gold;

bes@1Macc:6:2 @ And that there was in it a very rich temple, wherein were coverings of gold, and breastplates, and shields, which Alexander, son of Philip, the Macedonian king, who reigned first among the Grecians, had left there.

bes@1Macc:6:3 @ Wherefore he came and sought to take the city, and to spoil it; but he was not able, because they of the city, having had warning thereof,

bes@1Macc:6:5 @ Moreover there came one who brought him tidings into Persia, that the armies, which went against the land of Judea, were put to flight:

bes@1Macc:6:6 @ And that Lysias, who went forth first with a great power was driven away of the Jews; and that they were made strong by the armour, and power, and store of spoils, which they had gotten of the armies, whom they had destroyed:

bes@1Macc:6:11 @ And I thought with myself, Into what tribulation am I come, and how great a flood of misery is it, wherein now I am! for I was bountiful and beloved in my power.

bes@1Macc:6:12 @ But now I remember the evils that I did at Jerusalem, and that I took all the vessels of gold and silver that were therein, and sent to destroy the inhabitants of Judea without a cause.

bes@1Macc:6:14 @ Then called he for Philip, one of his friends, who he made ruler over all his realm,

bes@1Macc:6:18 @ About this time they that were in the tower shut up the Israelites round about the sanctuary, and sought always their hurt, and the strengthening of the heathen.

bes@1Macc:6:21 @ Howbeit certain of them that were besieged got forth, unto whom some ungodly men of Israel joined themselves:

bes@1Macc:6:24 @ For which cause they of our nation besiege the tower, and are alienated from us: moreover as many of us as they could light on they slew, and spoiled our inheritance.

bes@1Macc:6:28 @ Now when the king heard this, he was angry, and gathered together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and those that had charge of the horse.

bes@1Macc:6:29 @ There came also unto him from other kingdoms, and from isles of the sea, bands of hired soldiers.

bes@1Macc:6:30 @ So that the number of his army was an hundred thousand footmen, and twenty thousand horsemen, and two and thirty elephants exercised in battle.

bes@1Macc:6:31 @ These went through Idumea, and pitched against Bethsura, which they assaulted many days, making engines of war; but they of Bethsura came out, and burned them with fire, and fought valiantly.

bes@1Macc:6:34 @ And to the end they might provoke the elephants to fight, they shewed them the blood of grapes and mulberries.

bes@1Macc:6:35 @ Moreover they divided the beasts among the armies, and for every elephant they appointed a thousand men, armed with coats of mail, and with helmets of brass on their heads; and beside this, for every beast were ordained five hundred horsemen of the best.

bes@1Macc:6:37 @ And upon the beasts were there strong towers of wood, which covered every one of them, and were girt fast unto them with devices: there were also upon every one two and thirty strong men, that fought upon them, beside the Indian that ruled him.

bes@1Macc:6:38 @ As for the remnant of the horsemen, they set them on this side and that side at the two parts of the host giving them signs what to do, and being harnessed all over amidst the ranks.

bes@1Macc:6:39 @ Now when the sun shone upon the shields of gold and brass, the mountains glistered therewith, and shined like lamps of fire.

bes@1Macc:6:40 @ So part of the king’s army being spread upon the high mountains, and part on the valleys below, they marched on safely and in order.

bes@1Macc:6:41 @ Wherefore all that heard the noise of their multitude, and the marching of the company, and the rattling of the harness, were moved: for the army was very great and mighty.

bes@1Macc:6:42 @ Then Judas and his host drew near, and entered into battle, and there were slain of the king’s army six hundred men.

bes@1Macc:6:43 @ Eleazar also, surnamed Savaran, perceiving that one of the beasts, armed with royal harness, was higher than all the rest, and supposing that the king was upon him,

bes@1Macc:6:45 @ Wherefore he ran upon him courageously through the midst of the battle, slaying on the right hand and on the left, so that they were divided from him on both sides.

bes@1Macc:6:47 @ Howbeit the rest of the Jews seeing the strength of the king, and the violence of his forces, turned away from them.

bes@1Macc:6:49 @ But with them that were in Bethsura he made peace: for they came out of the city, because they had no victuals there to endure the siege, it being a year of rest to the land.

bes@1Macc:6:53 @ Yet at the last, their vessels being without victuals, (for that it was the seventh year, and they in Judea that were delivered from the Gentiles, had eaten up the residue of the store;)

bes@1Macc:6:56 @ Was returned out of Persia and Media, and the king’s host also that went with him, and that he sought to take unto him the ruling of the affairs.

bes@1Macc:6:57 @ Wherefore he went in all haste, and said to the king and the captains of the host and the company, We decay daily, and our victuals are but small, and the place we lay siege unto is strong, and the affairs of the kingdom lie upon us:

bes@1Macc:6:61 @ Also the king and the princes made an oath unto them: whereupon they went out of the strong hold.

bes@1Macc:6:62 @ Then the king entered into mount Sion; but when he saw the strength of the place, he broke his oath that he had made, and gave commandment to pull down the wall round about.

bes@1Macc:6:63 @ Afterward departed he in all haste, and returned unto Antiochia, where he found Philip to be master of the city: so he fought against him, and took the city by force.

bes@1Macc:7:1 @ In the hundred and one and fiftieth year Demetrius the son of Seleucus departed from Rome, and came up with a few men unto a city of the sea coast, and reigned there.

bes@1Macc:7:2 @ And as he entered into the palace of his ancestors, so it was, that his forces had taken Antiochus and Lysias, to bring them unto him.

bes@1Macc:7:4 @ So his host slew them. Now when Demetrius was set upon the throne of his kingdom,

bes@1Macc:7:5 @ There came unto him all the wicked and ungodly men of Israel, having Alcimus, who was desirous to be high priest, for their captain:

bes@1Macc:7:6 @ And they accused the people to the king, saying, Judas and his brethren have slain all thy friends, and driven us out of our own land.

bes@1Macc:7:8 @ Then the king chose Bacchides, a friend of the king, who ruled beyond the flood, and was a great man in the kingdom, and faithful to the king,

bes@1Macc:7:9 @ And him he sent with that wicked Alcimus, whom he made high priest, and commanded that he should take vengeance of the children of Israel.

bes@1Macc:7:10 @ So they departed, and came with a great power into the land of Judea, where they sent messengers to Judas and his brethren with peaceable words deceitfully.

bes@1Macc:7:12 @ Then did there assemble unto Alcimus and Bacchides a company of scribes, to require justice.

bes@1Macc:7:13 @ Now the Assideans were the first among the children of Israel that sought peace of them:

bes@1Macc:7:14 @ For said they, One that is a priest of the seed of Aaron is come with this army, and he will do us no wrong.

bes@1Macc:7:15 @ So he spake unto them, peaceably, and sware unto them, saying, we will procure the harm neither of you nor your friends.

bes@1Macc:7:16 @ Whereupon they believed him: howbeit he took of them threescore men, and slew them in one day, according to the words which he wrote,

bes@1Macc:7:17 @ The flesh of thy saints have they cast out, and their blood have they shed round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them.

bes@1Macc:7:18 @ Wherefore the fear and dread of them fell upon all the people, who said, There is neither truth nor righteousness in them; for they have broken the covenant and oath that they made.

bes@1Macc:7:19 @ After this, removed Bacchides from Jerusalem, and pitched his tents in Bezeth, where he sent and took many of the men that had forsaken him, and certain of the people also, and when he had slain them, he cast them into the great pit.

bes@1Macc:7:22 @ And unto him resorted all such as troubled the people, who, after they had gotten the land of Juda into their power, did much hurt in Israel.

bes@1Macc:7:24 @ He went out into all the coasts of Judea round about, and took vengeance of them that had revolted from him, so that they durst no more go forth into the country.

bes@1Macc:7:25 @ On the other side, when Alcimus saw that Judas and his company had gotten the upper hand, and knew that he was not able to abide their force, he went again to the king, and said all the worst of them that he could.

bes@1Macc:7:26 @ Then the king sent Nicanor, one of his honourable princes, a man that bare deadly hate unto Israel, with commandment to destroy the people.

bes@1Macc:7:30 @ Which thing after it was known to Judas, to wit, that he came unto him with deceit, he was sore afraid of him, and would see his face no more.

bes@1Macc:7:32 @ Where there were slain of Nicanor’s side about five thousand men, and the rest fled into the city of David.

bes@1Macc:7:33 @ After this went Nicanor up to mount Sion, and there came out of the sanctuary certain of the priests and certain of the elders of the people, to salute him peaceably, and to shew him the burnt sacrifice that was offered for the king.

bes@1Macc:7:37 @ Thou, O Lord, didst choose this house to be called by thy name, and to be a house of prayer and petition for thy people:

bes@1Macc:7:38 @ Be avenged of this man and his host, and let them fall by the sword: remember their blasphemies, and suffer them not to continue any longer.

bes@1Macc:7:39 @ So Nicanor went out of Jerusalem, and pitched his tents in Bethhoron, where an host out of Syria met him.

bes@1Macc:7:41 @ O Lord, when they that were sent from the king of the Assyrians blasphemed, thine angel went out, and smote an hundred fourscore and five thousand of them.

bes@1Macc:7:43 @ So the thirteenth day of the month Adar the hosts joined battle: but Nicanor’s host was discomfited, and he himself was first slain in the battle.

bes@1Macc:7:46 @ Whereupon they came forth out of all the towns of Judea round about, and closed them in; so that they, turning back upon them that pursued them, were all slain with the sword, and not one of them was left.

bes@1Macc:7:48 @ For this cause the people rejoiced greatly, and they kept that day a day of great gladness.

bes@1Macc:7:49 @ Moreover they ordained to keep yearly this day, being the thirteenth of Adar.

bes@1Macc:7:50 @ Thus the land of Juda was in rest a little while.

bes@1Macc:8:1 @ Now Judas had heard of the fame of the Romans, that they were mighty and valiant men, and such as would lovingly accept all that joined themselves unto them, and make a league of amity with all that came unto them;

bes@1Macc:8:2 @ And that they were men of great valour. It was told him also of their wars and noble acts which they had done among the Galatians, and how they had conquered them, and brought them under tribute;

bes@1Macc:8:3 @ And what they had done in the country of Spain, for the winning of the mines of the silver and gold which is there;

bes@1Macc:8:4 @ And that by their policy and patience they had conquered all the place, though it were very far from them; and the kings also that came against them from the uttermost part of the earth, till they had discomfited them, and given them a great overthrow, so that the rest did give them tribute every year:

bes@1Macc:8:5 @ Beside this, how they had discomfited in battle Philip, and Perseus, king of the Citims, with others that lifted up themselves against them, and had overcome them:

bes@1Macc:8:6 @ How also Antiochus the great king of Asia, that came against them in battle, having an hundred and twenty elephants, with horsemen, and chariots, and a very great army, was discomfited by them;

bes@1Macc:8:8 @ And the country of India, and Media and Lydia and of the goodliest countries, which they took of him, and gave to king Eumenes:

bes@1Macc:8:10 @ And that they, having knowledge thereof sent against them a certain captain, and fighting with them slew many of them, and carried away captives their wives and their children, and spoiled them, and took possession of their lands, and pulled down their strong holds, and brought them to be their servants unto this day:

bes@1Macc:8:12 @ But with their friends and such as relied upon them they kept amity: and that they had conquered kingdoms both far and nigh, insomuch as all that heard of their name were afraid of them:

bes@1Macc:8:14 @ Yet for all this none of them wore a crown or was clothed in purple, to be magnified thereby:

bes@1Macc:8:17 @ In consideration of these things, Judas chose Eupolemus the son of John, the son of Accos, and Jason the son of Eleazar, and sent them to Rome, to make a league of amity and confederacy with them,

bes@1Macc:8:18 @ And to intreat them that they would take the yoke from them; for they saw that the kingdom of the Grecians did oppress Israel with servitude.

bes@1Macc:8:20 @ Judas Maccabeus with his brethren, and the people of the Jews, have sent us unto you, to make a confederacy and peace with you, and that we might be registered your confederates and friends.

bes@1Macc:8:22 @ And this is the copy of the epistle which the senate wrote back again in tables of brass, and sent to Jerusalem, that there they might have by them a memorial of peace and confederacy:

bes@1Macc:8:23 @ Good success be to the Romans, and to the people of the Jews, by sea and by land for ever: the sword also and enemy be far from them,

bes@1Macc:8:24 @ If there come first any war upon the Romans or any of their confederates throughout all their dominion,

bes@1Macc:8:25 @ The people of the Jews shall help them, as the time shall be appointed, with all their heart:

bes@1Macc:8:27 @ In the same manner also, if war come first upon the nation of the Jews, the Romans shall help them with all their heart, according as the time shall be appointed them:

bes@1Macc:8:29 @ According to these articles did the Romans make a covenant with the people of the Jews.

bes@1Macc:9:1 @ Furthermore, when Demetrius heard the Nicanor and his host were slain in battle, he sent Bacchides and Alcimus into the land of Judea the second time, and with them the chief strength of his host:

bes@1Macc:9:3 @ Also the first month of the hundred fifty and second year they encamped before Jerusalem:

bes@1Macc:9:6 @ Who seeing the multitude of the other army to he so great were sore afraid; whereupon many conveyed themselves out of the host, insomuch as abode of them no more but eight hundred men.

bes@1Macc:9:11 @ With that the host of Bacchides removed out of their tents, and stood over against them, their horsemen being divided into two troops, and their slingers and archers going before the host and they that marched in the foreward were all mighty men.

bes@1Macc:9:13 @ They also of Judas’ side, even they sounded their trumpets also, so that the earth shook at the noise of the armies, and the battle continued from morning till night.

bes@1Macc:9:14 @ Now when Judas perceived that Bacchides and the strength of his army were on the right side, he took with him all the hardy men,

bes@1Macc:9:16 @ But when they of the left wing saw that they of the right wing were discomfited, they followed upon Judas and those that were with him hard at the heels from behind:

bes@1Macc:9:19 @ Then Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of his fathers in Modin.

bes@1Macc:9:23 @ Now after the death of Judas the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the coasts of Israel, and there arose up all such as wrought iniquity.

bes@1Macc:9:25 @ Then Bacchides chose the wicked men, and made them lords of the country.

bes@1Macc:9:26 @ And they made enquiry and search for Judas’ friends, and brought them unto Bacchides, who took vengeance of them, and used them despitefully.

bes@1Macc:9:29 @ Since thy brother Judas died, we have no man like him to go forth against our enemies, and Bacchides, and against them of our nation that are adversaries to us.

bes@1Macc:9:31 @ Upon this Jonathan took the governance upon him at that time, and rose up instead of his brother Judas.

bes@1Macc:9:33 @ Then Jonathan, and Simon his brother, and all that were with him, perceiving that, fled into the wilderness of Thecoe, and pitched their tents by the water of the pool Asphar.

bes@1Macc:9:35 @ Now Jonathan had sent his brother John, a captain of the people, to pray his friends the Nabathites, that they might leave with them their carriage, which was much.

bes@1Macc:9:36 @ But the children of Jambri came out of Medaba, and took John, and all that he had, and went their way with it.

bes@1Macc:9:37 @ After this came word to Jonathan and Simon his brother, that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride from Nadabatha with a great train, as being the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan.

bes@1Macc:9:38 @ Therefore they remembered John their brother, and went up, and hid themselves under the covert of the mountain:

bes@1Macc:9:39 @ Where they lifted up their eyes, and looked, and, behold, there was much ado and great carriage: and the bridegroom came forth, and his friends and brethren, to meet them with drums, and instruments of musick, and many weapons.

bes@1Macc:9:40 @ Then Jonathan and they that were with him rose up against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and made a slaughter of them in such sort, as many fell down dead, and the remnant fled into the mountain, and they took all their spoils.

bes@1Macc:9:41 @ Thus was the marriage turned into mourning, and the noise of their melody into lamentation.

bes@1Macc:9:42 @ So when they had avenged fully the blood of their brother, they turned again to the marsh of Jordan.

bes@1Macc:9:43 @ Now when Bacchides heard hereof, he came on the sabbath day unto the banks of Jordan with a great power.

bes@1Macc:9:45 @ For, behold, the battle is before us and behind us, and the water of Jordan on this side and that side, the marsh likewise and wood, neither is there place for us to turn aside.

bes@1Macc:9:46 @ Wherefore cry ye now unto heaven, that ye may be delivered from the hand of your enemies.

bes@1Macc:9:49 @ So there were slain of Bacchides’ side that day about a thousand men.

bes@1Macc:9:52 @ He fortified also the city Bethsura, and Gazera, and the tower, and put forces in them, and provision of victuals.

bes@1Macc:9:54 @ Moreover in the hundred fifty and third year, in the second month, Alcimus commanded that the wall of the inner court of the sanctuary should be pulled down; he pulled down also the works of the prophets

bes@1Macc:9:57 @ Now when Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead, he returned to the king: whereupon the land of Judea was in rest two years.

bes@1Macc:9:61 @ Wherefore they took of the men of the country, that were authors of that mischief, about fifty persons, and slew them.

bes@1Macc:9:63 @ Which thing when Bacchides knew, he gathered together all his host, and sent word to them that were of Judea.

bes@1Macc:9:64 @ Then went he and laid siege against Bethbasi; and they fought against it a long season and made engines of war.

bes@1Macc:9:66 @ And he smote Odonarkes and his brethren, and the children of Phasiron in their tent.

bes@1Macc:9:67 @ And when he began to smite them, and came up with his forces, Simon and his company went out of the city, and burned up the engines of war,

bes@1Macc:9:69 @ Wherefore he was very wroth at the wicked men that gave him counsel to come into the country, inasmuch as he slew many of them, and purposed to return into his own country.

bes@1Macc:9:71 @ Which thing he accepted, and did according to his demands, and sware unto him that he would never do him harm all the days of his life.

bes@1Macc:9:72 @ When therefore he had restored unto him the prisoners that he had taken aforetime out of the land of Judea, he returned and went his way into his own land, neither came he any more into their borders.

bes@1Macc:9:73 @ Thus the sword ceased from Israel: but Jonathan dwelt at Machmas, and began to govern the people; and he destroyed the ungodly men out of Israel.

bes@1Macc:10:1 @ In the hundred and sixtieth year Alexander, the son of Antiochus surnamed Epiphanes, went up and took Ptolemais: for the people had received him, by means whereof he reigned there,

bes@1Macc:10:7 @ Then came Jonathan to Jerusalem, and read the letters in the audience of all the people, and of them that were in the tower:

bes@1Macc:10:9 @ Whereupon they of the tower delivered their hostages unto Jonathan, and he delivered them unto their parents.

bes@1Macc:10:14 @ Only at Bethsura certain of those that had forsaken the law and the commandments remained still: for it was their place of refuge.

bes@1Macc:10:15 @ Now when king Alexander had heard what promises Demetrius had sent unto Jonathan: when also it was told him of the battles and noble acts which he and his brethren had done, and of the pains that they had endured,

bes@1Macc:10:19 @ We have heard of thee, that thou art a man of great power, and meet to be our friend.

bes@1Macc:10:20 @ Wherefore now this day we ordain thee to be the high priest of thy nation, and to be called the king’s friend; (and therewithal he sent him a purple robe and a crown of gold:) and require thee to take our part, and keep friendship with us.

bes@1Macc:10:21 @ So in the seventh month of the hundred and sixtieth year, at the feast of the tabernacles, Jonathan put on the holy robe, and gathered together forces, and provided much armour.

bes@1Macc:10:24 @ I also will write unto them words of encouragement, and promise them dignities and gifts, that I may have their aid.

bes@1Macc:10:25 @ He sent unto them therefore to this effect: King Demetrius unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting:

bes@1Macc:10:29 @ And now do I free you, and for your sake I release all the Jews, from tributes, and from the customs of salt, and from crown taxes,

bes@1Macc:10:30 @ And from that which appertaineth unto me to receive for the third part or the seed, and the half of the fruit of the trees, I release it from this day forth, so that they shall not be taken of the land of Judea, nor of the three governments which are added thereunto out of the country of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth for evermore.

bes@1Macc:10:33 @ Moreover I freely set at liberty every one of the Jews, that were carried captives out of the land of Judea into any part of my kingdom, and I will that all my officers remit the tributes even of their cattle.

bes@1Macc:10:34 @ Furthermore I will that all the feasts, and sabbaths, and new moons, and solemn days, and the three days before the feast, and the three days after the feast shall be all of immunity and freedom for all the Jews in my realm.

bes@1Macc:10:35 @ Also no man shall have authority to meddle with or to molest any of them in any matter.

bes@1Macc:10:36 @ I will further, that there be enrolled among the king’s forces about thirty thousand men of the Jews, unto whom pay shall be given, as belongeth to all king’s forces.

bes@1Macc:10:37 @ And of them some shall be placed in the king’s strong holds, of whom also some shall be set over the affairs of the kingdom, which are of trust: and I will that their overseers and governors be of themselves, and that they live after their own laws, even as the king hath commanded in the land of Judea.

bes@1Macc:10:38 @ And concerning the three governments that are added to Judea from the country of Samaria, let them be joined with Judea, that they may be reckoned to be under one, nor bound to obey other authority than the high priest’s.

bes@1Macc:10:39 @ As for Ptolemais, and the land pertaining thereto, I give it as a free gift to the sanctuary at Jerusalem for the necessary expenses of the sanctuary.

bes@1Macc:10:40 @ Moreover I give every year fifteen thousand shekels of silver out of the king’s accounts from the places appertaining.

bes@1Macc:10:41 @ And all the overplus, which the officers payed not in as in former time, from henceforth shall be given toward the works of the temple.

bes@1Macc:10:42 @ And beside this, the five thousand shekels of silver, which they took from the uses of the temple out of the accounts year by year, even those things shall be released, because they appertain to the priests that minister.

bes@1Macc:10:44 @ For the building also and repairing of the works of the sanctuary expenses shall be given of the king’s accounts.

bes@1Macc:10:45 @ Yea, and for the building of the walls of Jerusalem, and the fortifying thereof round about, expenses shall be given out of the king’s accounts, as also for the building of the walls in Judea.

bes@1Macc:10:47 @ But with Alexander they were well pleased, because he was the first that entreated of true peace with them, and they were confederate with him always.

bes@1Macc:10:51 @ Afterward Alexander sent ambassadors to Ptolemee king of Egypt with a message to this effect:

bes@1Macc:10:52 @ Forasmuch as I am come again to my realm, and am set in the throne of my progenitors, and have gotten the dominion, and overthrown Demetrius, and recovered our country;

bes@1Macc:10:53 @ For after I had joined battle with him, both he and his host was discomfited by us, so that we sit in the throne of his kingdom:

bes@1Macc:10:54 @ Now therefore let us make a league of amity together, and give me now thy daughter to wife: and I will be thy son in law, and will give both thee and her as according to thy dignity.

bes@1Macc:10:55 @ Then Ptolemee the king gave answer, saying, Happy be the day wherein thou didst return into the land of thy fathers, and satest in the throne of their kingdom.

bes@1Macc:10:57 @ So Ptolemee went out of Egypt with his daughter Cleopatra, and they came unto Ptolemais in the hundred threescore and second year:

bes@1Macc:10:58 @ Where king Alexander meeting him, he gave unto him his daughter Cleopatra, and celebrated her marriage at Ptolemais with great glory, as the manner of kings is.

bes@1Macc:10:61 @ At that time certain pestilent fellows of Israel, men of a wicked life, assembled themselves against him, to accuse him: but the king would not hear them.

bes@1Macc:10:63 @ And he made him sit by himself, and said into his princes, Go 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.

bes@1Macc:10:65 @ So the king honoured him, and wrote him among his chief friends, and made him a duke, and partaker of his dominion.

bes@1Macc:10:67 @ Furthermore in the; hundred threescore and fifth year came Demetrius son of Demetrius out of Crete into the land of his fathers:

bes@1Macc:10:69 @ Then Demetrius made Apollonius the governor of Celosyria his general, who gathered together a great host, and camped in Jamnia, and sent unto Jonathan the high priest, saying,

bes@1Macc:10:71 @ Now therefore, if thou trustest in thine own strength, come down to us into the plain field, and there let us try the matter together: for with me is the power of the cities.

bes@1Macc:10:74 @ So when Jonathan heard these words of Apollonius, he was moved in his mind, and choosing ten thousand men he went out of Jerusalem, where Simon his brother met him for to help him.

bes@1Macc:10:75 @ And he pitched his tents against Joppa: but; they of Joppa shut him out of the city, because Apollonius had a garrison there.

bes@1Macc:10:76 @ Then Jonathan laid siege unto it: whereupon they of the city let him in for fear: and so Jonathan won Joppa.

bes@1Macc:10:77 @ Whereof when Apollonius heard, he took three thousand horsemen, with a great host of footmen, and went to Azotus as one that journeyed, and therewithal drew him forth into the plain. because he had a great number of horsemen, in whom he put his trust.

bes@1Macc:10:84 @ But Jonathan set fire on Azotus, and the cities round about it, and took their spoils; and the temple of Dagon, with them that were fled into it, he burned with fire.

bes@1Macc:10:86 @ And from thence Jonathan removed his host, and camped against Ascalon, where the men of the city came forth, and met him with great pomp.

bes@1Macc:10:89 @ And sent him a buckle of gold, as the use is to be given to such as are of the king’s blood: he gave him also Accaron with the borders thereof in possession.

bes@1Macc:11:1 @ And the king of Egypt gathered together a great host, like the sand that lieth upon the sea shore, and many ships, and went about through deceit to get Alexander’s kingdom, and join it to his own.

bes@1Macc:11:2 @ Whereupon he took his journey into Syria in peaceable manner, so as they of the cities opened unto him, and met him: for king Alexander had commanded them so to do, because he was his brother in law.

bes@1Macc:11:3 @ Now as Ptolemee entered into the cities, he set in every one of them a garrison of soldiers to keep it.

bes@1Macc:11:4 @ And when he came near to Azotus, they shewed him the temple of Dagon that was burnt, and Azotus and the suburbs thereof that were destroyed, and the bodies that were cast abroad and them that he had burnt in the battle; for they had made heaps of them by the way where he should pass.

bes@1Macc:11:8 @ King Ptolemee therefore, having gotten the dominion of the cities by the sea unto Seleucia upon the sea coast, imagined wicked counsels against Alexander.

bes@1Macc:11:11 @ Thus did he slander him, because he was desirous of his kingdom.

bes@1Macc:11:13 @ Then Ptolemee entered into Antioch, where he set two crowns upon his head, the crown of Asia, and of Egypt.

bes@1Macc:11:15 @ But when Alexander heard of this, he came to war against him: whereupon king Ptolemee brought forth his host, and met him with a mighty power, and put him to flight.

bes@1Macc:11:18 @ King Ptolemee also died the third day after, and they that were in the strong holds were slain one of another.

bes@1Macc:11:20 @ At the same time Jonathan gathered together them that were in Judea to take the tower that was in Jerusalem: and he made many engines of war against it.

bes@1Macc:11:23 @ Nevertheless Jonathan, when he heard this, commanded to besiege it still: and he chose certain of the elders of Israel and the priests, and put himself in peril;

bes@1Macc:11:25 @ And though certain ungodly men of the people had made complaints against him,

bes@1Macc:11:26 @ Yet the king entreated him as his predecessors had done before, and promoted him in the sight of all his friends,

bes@1Macc:11:28 @ Then Jonathan desired the king, that he would make Judea free from tribute, as also the three governments, with the country of Samaria; and he promised him three hundred talents.

bes@1Macc:11:29 @ So the king consented, and wrote letters unto Jonathan of all these things after this manner:

bes@1Macc:11:30 @ King Demetrius unto his brother Jonathan, and unto the nation of the Jews, sendeth greeting:

bes@1Macc:11:31 @ We send you here a copy of the letter which we did write unto our cousin Lasthenes concerning you, that ye might see it.

bes@1Macc:11:33 @ We are determined to do good to the people of the Jews, who are our friends, and keep covenants with us, because of their good will toward us.

bes@1Macc:11:34 @ Wherefore we have ratified unto them the borders of Judea, with the three governments of Apherema and Lydda and Ramathem, that are added unto Judea from the country of Samaria, and all things appertaining unto them, for all such as do sacrifice in Jerusalem, instead of the payments which the king received of them yearly aforetime out of the fruits of the earth and of trees.

bes@1Macc:11:35 @ And as for other things that belong unto us, of the tithes and customs pertaining unto us, as also the saltpits, and the crown taxes, which are due unto us, we discharge them of them all for their relief.

bes@1Macc:11:37 @ Now therefore see that thou make a copy of these things, and let it be delivered unto Jonathan, and set upon the holy mount in a conspicuous place.

bes@1Macc:11:38 @ After this, when king Demetrius saw that the land was quiet before him, and that no resistance was made against him, he sent away all his forces, every one to his own place, except certain bands of strangers, whom he had gathered from the isles of the heathen: wherefore all the forces of his fathers hated him.

bes@1Macc:11:39 @ Moreover there was one Tryphon, that had been of Alexander’s part afore, who, seeing that all the host murmured against Demetrius, went to Simalcue the Arabian that brought up Antiochus the young son of Alexander,

bes@1Macc:11:40 @ And lay sore upon him to deliver him this young Antiochus, that he might reign in his father’s stead: he told him therefore all that Demetrius had done, and how his men of war were at enmity with him, and there he remained a long season.

bes@1Macc:11:41 @ In the mean time Jonathan sent unto king Demetrius, that he would cast those of the tower out of Jerusalem, and those also in the fortresses: for they fought against Israel.

bes@1Macc:11:44 @ Upon this Jonathan sent him three thousand strong men unto Antioch: and when they came to the king, the king was very glad of their coming.

bes@1Macc:11:45 @ Howbeit they that were of the city gathered themselves together into the midst of the city, to the number of an hundred and twenty thousand men, and would have slain the king.

bes@1Macc:11:46 @ Wherefore the king fled into the court, but they of the city kept the passages of the city, and began to fight.

bes@1Macc:11:47 @ Then the king called to the Jews for help, who came unto him all at once, and dispersing themselves through the city slew that day in the city to the number of an hundred thousand.

bes@1Macc:11:49 @ So when they of the city saw that the Jews had got the city as they would, their courage was abated: wherefore they made supplication to the king, and cried, saying,

bes@1Macc:11:51 @ With that they cast away their weapons, and made peace; and the Jews were honoured in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all that were in his realm; and they returned to Jerusalem, having great spoils.

bes@1Macc:11:52 @ So king Demetrius sat on the throne of his kingdom, and the land was quiet before him.

bes@1Macc:11:53 @ Nevertheless he dissembled in all that ever he spake, and estranged himself from Jonathan, neither rewarded he him according to the benefits which he had received of him, but troubled him very sore.

bes@1Macc:11:55 @ Then there gathered unto him all the men of war, whom Demetrius had put away, and they fought against Demetrius, who turned his back and fled.

bes@1Macc:11:57 @ At that time young Antiochus wrote unto Jonathan, saying, I confirm thee in the high priesthood, and appoint thee ruler over the four governments, and to be one of the king’s friends.

bes@1Macc:11:59 @ His brother Simon also he made captain from the place called The ladder of Tyrus unto the borders of Egypt.

bes@1Macc:11:60 @ Then Jonathan went forth, and passed through the cities beyond the water, and all the forces of Syria gathered themselves unto him for to help him: and when he came to Ascalon, they of the city met him honourably.

bes@1Macc:11:61 @ From whence he went to Gaza, but they of Gaza shut him out; wherefore he laid siege unto it, and burned the suburbs thereof with fire, and spoiled them.

bes@1Macc:11:62 @ Afterward, when they of Gaza made supplication unto Jonathan, he made peace with them, and took the sons of their chief men for hostages, and sent them to Jerusalem, and passed through the country unto Damascus.

bes@1Macc:11:63 @ Now when Jonathan heard that Demetrius’ princes were come to Cades, which is in Galilee, with a great power, purposing to remove him out of the country,

bes@1Macc:11:67 @ As for Jonathan and his host, they pitched at the water of Gennesar, from whence betimes in the morning they gat them to the plain of Nasor.

bes@1Macc:11:68 @ And, behold, the host of strangers met them in the plain, who, having laid men in ambush for him in the mountains, came themselves over against him.

bes@1Macc:11:69 @ So when they that lay in ambush rose out of their places and joined battle, all that were of Jonathan’s side fled;

bes@1Macc:11:70 @ Insomuch as there was not one of them left, except Mattathias the son of Absalom, and Judas the son of Calphi, the captains of the host.

bes@1Macc:11:74 @ So there were slain of the heathen that day about three thousand men: but Jonathan returned to Jerusalem.

bes@1Macc:12:3 @ So they went unto Rome, and entered into the senate, and said, Jonathan the high priest, and the people of the Jews, sent us unto you, to the end ye should renew the friendship, which ye had with them, and league, as in former time.

bes@1Macc:12:4 @ Upon this the Romans gave them letters unto the governors of every place that they should bring them into the land of Judea peaceably.

bes@1Macc:12:5 @ And this is the copy of the letters which Jonathan wrote to the Lacedemonians:

bes@1Macc:12:6 @ Jonathan the high priest, and the elders of the nation, and the priests, and the other of the Jews, unto the Lacedemonians their brethren send greeting:

bes@1Macc:12:8 @ At which time Onias entreated the ambassador that was sent honourably, and received the letters, wherein declaration was made of the league and friendship.

bes@1Macc:12:9 @ Therefore we also, albeit we need none of these things, that we have the holy books of scripture in our hands to comfort us,

bes@1Macc:12:10 @ Have nevertheless attempted to send unto you for the renewing of brotherhood and friendship, lest we should become strangers unto you altogether: for there is a long time passed since ye sent unto us.

bes@1Macc:12:12 @ And we are right glad of your honour.

bes@1Macc:12:14 @ Howbeit we would not be troublesome unto you, nor to others of our confederates and friends, in these wars:

bes@1Macc:12:16 @ For this cause we chose Numenius the son of Antiochus, and Antipater he son of Jason, and sent them unto the Romans, to renew the amity that we had with them, and the former league.

bes@1Macc:12:17 @ We commanded them also to go unto you, and to salute and to deliver you our letters concerning the renewing of our brotherhood.

bes@1Macc:12:19 @ And this is the copy of the letters which Oniares sent.

bes@1Macc:12:20 @ Areus king of the Lacedemonians to Onias the high priest, greeting:

bes@1Macc:12:21 @ It is found in writing, that the Lacedemonians and Jews are brethren, and that they are of the stock of Abraham:

bes@1Macc:12:22 @ Now therefore, since this is come to our knowledge, ye shall do well to write unto us of your prosperity.

bes@1Macc:12:25 @ He removed from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Amathis: for he gave them no respite to enter his country.

bes@1Macc:12:35 @ After this came Jonathan home again, and calling the elders of the people together, he consulted with them about building strong holds in Judea,

bes@1Macc:12:36 @ And making the walls of Jerusalem higher, and raising a great mount between the tower and the city, for to separate it from the city, that so it might be alone, that men might neither sell nor buy in it.

bes@1Macc:12:37 @ Upon this they came together to build up the city, forasmuch as part of the wall toward the brook on the east side was fallen down, and they repaired that which was called Caphenatha.

bes@1Macc:12:39 @ Now Tryphon went about to get the kingdom of Asia, and to kill Antiochus the king, that he might set the crown upon his own head.

bes@1Macc:12:43 @ But received him honourably, and commended him unto all his friends, and gave him gifts, and commanded his men of war to be as obedient unto him, as to himself.

bes@1Macc:12:45 @ Therefore send them now home again, and choose a few men to wait on thee, and come thou with me to Ptolemais, for I will give it thee, and the rest of the strong holds and forces, and all that have any charge: as for me, I will return and depart: for this is the cause of my coming.

bes@1Macc:12:46 @ So Jonathan believing him did as he bade him, and sent away his host, who went into the land of Judea.

bes@1Macc:12:47 @ And with himself he retained but three thousand men, of whom he sent two thousand into Galilee, and one thousand went with him.

bes@1Macc:12:48 @ Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of Ptolemais shut the gates and took him, and all them that came with him they slew with the sword.

bes@1Macc:12:49 @ Then sent Tryphon an host of footmen and horsemen into Galilee, and into the great plain, to destroy all Jonathan’s company.

bes@1Macc:12:52 @ Whereupon they all came into the land of Judea peaceably, and there they bewailed Jonathan, and them that were with him, and they were sore afraid; wherefore all Israel made great lamentation.

bes@1Macc:13:1 @ Now when Simon heard that Tryphon had gathered together a great host to invade the land of Judea, and destroy it,

bes@1Macc:13:5 @ Now therefore be it far from me, that I should spare mine own life in any time of trouble: for I am no better than my brethren.

bes@1Macc:13:6 @ Doubtless I will avenge my nation, and the sanctuary, and our wives, and our children: for all the heathen are gathered to destroy us of very malice.

bes@1Macc:13:8 @ And they answered with a loud voice, saying, Thou shalt be our leader instead of Judas and Jonathan thy brother.

bes@1Macc:13:10 @ So then he gathered together all the men of war, and made haste to finish the walls of Jerusalem, and he fortified it round about.

bes@1Macc:13:11 @ Also he sent Jonathan the son of Absalom, and with him a great power, to Joppa: who casting out them that were therein remained there in it.

bes@1Macc:13:12 @ So Tryphon removed from Ptolemais with a great power to invade the land of Judea, and Jonathan was with him in ward.

bes@1Macc:13:14 @ Now when Tryphon knew that Simon was risen up instead of his brother Jonathan, and meant to join battle with him, he sent messengers unto him, saying,

bes@1Macc:13:16 @ Wherefore now send an hundred talents of silver, and two of his sons for hostages, that when he is at liberty he may not revolt from us, and we will let him go.

bes@1Macc:13:17 @ Hereupon Simon, albeit he perceived that they spake deceitfully unto him yet sent he the money and the children, lest peradventure he should procure to himself great hatred of the people:

bes@1Macc:13:22 @ Wherefore Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night: but there fell a very great snow, by reason whereof he came not. So he departed, and came into the country of Galaad.

bes@1Macc:13:25 @ Then sent Simon, and took the bones of Jonathan his brother, and buried them in Modin, the city of his fathers.

bes@1Macc:13:27 @ Simon also built a monument upon the sepulchre of his father and his brethren, and raised it aloft to the sight, with hewn stone behind and before.

bes@1Macc:13:29 @ And in these he made cunning devices, about the which he set great pillars, and upon the pillars he made all their armour for a perpetual memory, and by the armour ships carved, that they might be seen of all that sail on the sea.

bes@1Macc:13:32 @ And he reigned in his stead, and crowned himself king of Asia, and brought a great calamity upon the land.

bes@1Macc:13:36 @ King Demetrius unto Simon the high priest, and friend of kings, as also unto the elders and nation of the Jews, sendeth greeting:

bes@1Macc:13:41 @ Thus the yoke of the heathen was taken away from Israel in the hundred and seventieth year.

bes@1Macc:13:42 @ Then the people of Israel began to write in their instruments and contracts, In the first year of Simon the high priest, the governor and leader of the Jews.

bes@1Macc:13:43 @ In those days Simon camped against Gaza and besieged it round about; he made also an engine of war, and set it by the city, and battered a certain tower, and took it.

bes@1Macc:13:45 @ Insomuch as the people of the city rent their clothes, and climbed upon the walls with their wives and children, and cried with a loud voice, beseeching Simon to grant them peace.

bes@1Macc:13:47 @ So Simon was appeased toward them, and fought no more against them, but put them out of the city, and cleansed the houses wherein the idols were, and so entered into it with songs and thanksgiving.

bes@1Macc:13:48 @ Yea, he put all uncleanness out of it, and placed such men there as would keep the law, and made it stronger than it was before, and built therein a dwellingplace for himself.

bes@1Macc:13:49 @ They also of the tower in Jerusalem were kept so strait, that they could neither come forth, nor go into the country, nor buy, nor sell: wherefore they were in great distress for want of victuals, and a great number of them perished through famine.

bes@1Macc:13:51 @ And entered into it the three and twentieth day of the second month in the hundred seventy and first year, with thanksgiving, and branches of palm trees, and with harps, and cymbals, and with viols, and hymns, and songs: because there was destroyed a great enemy out of Israel.

bes@1Macc:13:52 @ He ordained also that that day should be kept every year with gladness. Moreover the hill of the temple that was by the tower he made stronger than it was, and there he dwelt himself with his company.

bes@1Macc:13:53 @ And when Simon saw that John his son was a valiant man, he made him captain of all the hosts; and he dwelt in Gazera.

bes@1Macc:14:2 @ But when Arsaces, the king of Persia and Media, heard that Demetrius was entered within his borders, he sent one of his princes to take him alive:

bes@1Macc:14:3 @ Who went and smote the host of Demetrius, and took him, and brought him to Arsaces, by whom he was put in ward.

bes@1Macc:14:4 @ As for the land of Judea, that was quiet all the days of Simon; for he sought the good of his nation in such wise, as that evermore his authority and honour pleased them well.

bes@1Macc:14:5 @ And as he was honourable in all his acts, so in this, that he took Joppa for an haven, and made an entrance to the isles of the sea,

bes@1Macc:14:6 @ And enlarged the bounds of his nation, and recovered the country,

bes@1Macc:14:7 @ And gathered together a great number of captives, and had the dominion of Gazera, and Bethsura, and the tower, out of the which he took all uncleanness, neither was there any that resisted him.

bes@1Macc:14:8 @ Then did they till their ground in peace, and the earth gave her increase, and the trees of the field their fruit.

bes@1Macc:14:9 @ The ancient men sat all in the streets, communing together of good things, and the young men put on glorious and warlike apparel.

bes@1Macc:14:10 @ He provided victuals for the cities, and set in them all manner of munition, so that his honourable name was renowned unto the end of the world.

bes@1Macc:14:14 @ Moreover he strengthened all those of his people that were brought low: the law he searched out; and every contemner of the law and wicked person he took away.

bes@1Macc:14:15 @ He beautified the sanctuary, and multiplied vessels of the temple.

bes@1Macc:14:18 @ They wrote unto him in tables of brass, to renew the friendship and league which they had made with Judas and Jonathan his brethren:

bes@1Macc:14:20 @ And this is the copy of the letters that the Lacedemonians sent; The rulers of the Lacedemonians, with the city, unto Simon the high priest, and the elders, and priests, and residue of the people of the Jews, our brethren, send greeting:

bes@1Macc:14:21 @ The ambassadors that were sent unto our people certified us of your glory and honour: wherefore we were glad of their coming,

bes@1Macc:14:22 @ And did register the things that they spake in the council of the people in this manner; Numenius son of Antiochus, and Antipater son of Jason, the Jews’ ambassadors, came unto us to renew the friendship they had with us.

bes@1Macc:14:23 @ And it pleased the people to entertain the men honourably, and to put the copy of their ambassage in publick records, to the end the people of the Lacedemonians might have a memorial thereof: furthermore we have written a copy thereof unto Simon the high priest.

bes@1Macc:14:24 @ After this Simon sent Numenius to Rome with a great shield of gold of a thousand pound weight to confirm the league with them.

bes@1Macc:14:26 @ For he and his brethren and the house of his father have established Israel, and chased away in fight their enemies from them, and confirmed their liberty.

bes@1Macc:14:27 @ So then they wrote it in tables of brass, which they set upon pillars in mount Sion: and this is the copy of the writing; The eighteenth day of the month Elul, in the hundred threescore and twelfth year, being the third year of Simon the high priest,

bes@1Macc:14:28 @ At Saramel in the great congregation of the priests, and people, and rulers of the nation, and elders of the country, were these things notified unto us.

bes@1Macc:14:29 @ Forasmuch as oftentimes there have been wars in the country, wherein for the maintenance of their sanctuary, and the law, Simon the son of Mattathias, of the posterity of Jarib, together with his brethren, put themselves in jeopardy, and resisting the enemies of their nation did their nation great honour:

bes@1Macc:14:32 @ At which time Simon rose up, and fought for his nation, and spent much of his own substance, and armed the valiant men of his nation and gave them wages,

bes@1Macc:14:33 @ And fortified the cities of Judea, together with Bethsura, that lieth upon the borders of Judea, where the armour of the enemies had been before; but he set a garrison of Jews there:

bes@1Macc:14:35 @ The people therefore sang the acts of Simon, and unto what glory he thought to bring his nation, made him their governor and chief priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice and faith which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to exalt his people.

bes@1Macc:14:36 @ For in his time things prospered in his hands, so that the heathen were taken out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David in Jerusalem, who had made themselves a tower, out of which they issued, and polluted all about the sanctuary, and did much hurt in the holy place:

bes@1Macc:14:37 @ But he placed Jews therein. and fortified it for the safety of the country and the city, and raised up the walls of Jerusalem.

bes@1Macc:14:39 @ And made him one of his friends, and honoured him with great honour.

bes@1Macc:14:40 @ For he had heard say, that the Romans had called the Jews their friends and confederates and brethren; and that they had entertained the ambassadors of Simon honourably;

bes@1Macc:14:42 @ Moreover that he should be their captain, and should take charge of the sanctuary, to set them over their works, and over the country, and over the armour, and over the fortresses, that, I say, he should take charge of the sanctuary;

bes@1Macc:14:43 @ Beside this, that he should be obeyed of every man, and that all the writings in the country should be made in his name, and that he should be clothed in purple, and wear gold:

bes@1Macc:14:44 @ Also that it should be lawful for none of the people or priests to break any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to gather an assembly in the country without him, or to be clothed in purple, or wear a buckle of gold;

bes@1Macc:14:45 @ And whosoever should do otherwise, or break any of these things, he should be punished.

bes@1Macc:14:47 @ Then Simon accepted hereof, and was well pleased to be high priest, and captain and governor of the Jews and priests, and to defend them all.

bes@1Macc:14:48 @ So they commanded that this writing should be put in tables of brass, and that they should be set up within the compass of the sanctuary in a conspicuous place;

bes@1Macc:15:1 @ Moreover Antiochus son of Demetrius the king sent letters from the isles of the sea unto Simon the priest and prince of the Jews, and to all the people;

bes@1Macc:15:2 @ The contents whereof were these: King Antiochus to Simon the high priest and prince of his nation, and to the people of the Jews, greeting:

bes@1Macc:15:3 @ Forasmuch as certain pestilent men have usurped the kingdom of our fathers, and my purpose is to challenge it again, that I may restore it to the old estate, and to that end have gathered a multitude of foreign soldiers together, and prepared ships of war;

bes@1Macc:15:4 @ My meaning also being to go through the country, that I may be avenged of them that have destroyed it, and made many cities in the kingdom desolate:

bes@1Macc:15:10 @ In the hundred threescore and fourteenth year went Antiochus into the land of his fathers: at which time all the forces came together unto him, so that few were left with Tryphon.

bes@1Macc:15:13 @ Then camped Antiochus against Dora, having with him an hundred and twenty thousand men of war, and eight thousand horsemen.

bes@1Macc:15:16 @ Lucius, consul of the Romans unto king Ptolemee, greeting:

bes@1Macc:15:17 @ The Jews’ ambassadors, our friends and confederates, came unto us to renew the old friendship and league, being sent from Simon the high priest, and from the people of the Jews:

bes@1Macc:15:18 @ And they brought a shield of gold of a thousand pound.

bes@1Macc:15:20 @ It seemed also good to us to receive the shield of them.

bes@1Macc:15:28 @ Furthermore he sent unto him Athenobius, one of his friends, to commune with him, and say, Ye withhold Joppa and Gazera; with the tower that is in Jerusalem, which are cities of my realm.

bes@1Macc:15:29 @ The borders thereof ye have wasted, and done great hurt in the land, and got the dominion of many places within my kingdom.

bes@1Macc:15:30 @ Now therefore deliver the cities which ye have taken, and the tributes of the places, whereof ye have gotten dominion without the borders of Judea:

bes@1Macc:15:31 @ Or else give me for them five hundred talents of silver; and for the harm that ye have done, and the tributes of the cities, other five hundred talents: if not, we will come and fight against you

bes@1Macc:15:32 @ So Athenobius the king’s friend came to Jerusalem: and when he saw the glory of Simon, and the cupboard of gold and silver plate, and his great attendance, he was astonished, and told him the king’s message.

bes@1Macc:15:33 @ Then answered Simon, and said unto him, We have neither taken other men’s land, nor holden that which appertaineth to others, but the inheritance of our fathers, which our enemies had wrongfully in possession a certain time.

bes@1Macc:15:34 @ Wherefore we, having opportunity, hold the inheritance of our fathers.

bes@1Macc:15:36 @ But returned in a rage to the king, and made report unto him of these speeches, and of the glory of Simon, and of all that he had seen: whereupon the king was exceeding wroth.

bes@1Macc:15:38 @ Then the king made Cendebeus captain of the sea coast, and gave him an host of footmen and horsemen,

bes@1Macc:15:41 @ And when he had built up Cedron, he set horsemen there, and an host of footmen, to the end that issuing out they might make outroads upon the ways of Judea, as the king had commanded him.

bes@1Macc:16:2 @ Wherefore Simon called his two eldest sons, Judas and John, and said unto them, I, and my brethren, and my father’s house, have ever from my youth unto this day fought against the enemies of Israel; and things have prospered so well in our hands, that we have delivered Israel oftentimes.

bes@1Macc:16:3 @ But now I am old, and ye, by God’s mercy, are of a sufficient age: be ye instead of me and my brother, and go and fight for our nation, and the help from heaven be with you.

bes@1Macc:16:4 @ So he chose out of the country twenty thousand men of war with horsemen, who went out against Cendebeus, and rested that night at Modin.

bes@1Macc:16:5 @ And when as they rose in the morning, and went into the plain, behold, a mighty great host both of footmen and horsemen came against them: howbeit there was a water brook betwixt them.

bes@1Macc:16:7 @ That done, he divided his men, and set the horsemen in the midst of the footmen: for the enemies’ horsemen were very many.

bes@1Macc:16:8 @ Then sounded they with the holy trumpets: whereupon Cendebeus and his host were put to flight, so that many of them were slain, and the remnant gat them to the strong hold.

bes@1Macc:16:10 @ So they fled even unto the towers in the fields of Azotus; wherefore he burned it with fire: so that there were slain of them about two thousand men. Afterward he returned into the land of Judea in peace.

bes@1Macc:16:11 @ Moreover in the plain of Jericho was Ptolemeus the son of Abubus made captain, and he had abundance of silver and gold:

bes@1Macc:16:14 @ Now Simon was visiting the cities that were in the country, and taking care for the good ordering of them; at which time he came down himself to Jericho with his sons, Mattathias and Judas, in the hundred threescore and seventeenth year, in the eleventh month, called Sabat:

bes@1Macc:16:15 @ Where the son of Abubus receiving them deceitfully into a little hold, called Docus, which he had built, made them a great banquet: howbeit he had hid men there.

bes@1Macc:16:16 @ So when Simon and his sons had drunk largely, Ptolemee and his men rose up, and took their weapons, and came upon Simon into the banqueting place, and slew him, and his two sons, and certain of his servants.

bes@1Macc:16:20 @ And others he sent to take Jerusalem, and the mountain of the temple.

bes@1Macc:16:23 @ As concerning the rest of the acts of John, and his wars, and worthy deeds which he did, and the building of the walls which he made, and his doings,

bes@1Macc:16:24 @ Behold, these are written in the chronicles of his priesthood, from the time he was made high priest after his father.

bes@2Macc:1:1 @ The brethren, the Jews that be at Jerusalem and in the land of Judea, wish unto the brethren, the Jews that are throughout Egypt health and peace:

bes@2Macc:1:5 @ And hear your prayers, and be at one with you, and never forsake you in time of trouble.

bes@2Macc:1:7 @ What time as Demetrius reigned, in the hundred threescore and ninth year, we the Jews wrote unto you in the extremity of trouble that came upon us in those years, from the time that Jason and his company revolted from the holy land and kingdom,

bes@2Macc:1:9 @ And now see that ye keep the feast of tabernacles in the month Casleu.

bes@2Macc:1:10 @ In the hundred fourscore and eighth year, the people that were at Jerusalem and in Judea, and the council, and Judas, sent greeting and health unto Aristobulus, king Ptolemeus’ master, who was of the stock of the anointed priests, and to the Jews that were in Egypt:

bes@2Macc:1:13 @ For when the leader was come into Persia, and the army with him that seemed invincible, they were slain in the temple of Nanea by the deceit of Nanea’s priests.

bes@2Macc:1:14 @ For Antiochus, as though he would marry her, came into the place, and his friends that were with him, to receive money in name of a dowry.

bes@2Macc:1:15 @ Which when the priests of Nanea had set forth, and he was entered with a small company into the compass of the temple, they shut the temple as soon as Antiochus was come in:

bes@2Macc:1:16 @ And opening a privy door of the roof, they threw stones like thunderbolts, and struck down the captain, hewed them in pieces, smote off their heads and cast them to those that were without.

bes@2Macc:1:18 @ Therefore whereas we are now purposed to keep the purification of the temple upon the five and twentieth day of the month Casleu, we thought it necessary to certify you thereof, that ye also might keep it, as the feast of the tabernacles, and of the fire, which was given us when Neemias offered sacrifice, after that he had builded the temple and the altar.

bes@2Macc:1:19 @ For when our fathers were led into Persia, the priests that were then devout took the fire of the altar privily, and hid it in an hollow place of a pit without water, where they kept it sure, so that the place was unknown to all men.

bes@2Macc:1:20 @ Now after many years, when it pleased God, Neemias, being sent from the king of Persia, did send of the posterity of those priests that had hid it to the fire: but when they told us they found no fire, but thick water;

bes@2Macc:1:24 @ And the prayer was after this manner; O Lord, Lord God, Creator of all things, who art fearful and strong, and righteous, and merciful, and the only and gracious King,

bes@2Macc:1:25 @ The only giver of all things, the only just, almighty, and everlasting, thou that deliverest Israel from all trouble, and didst choose the fathers, and sanctify them:

bes@2Macc:1:30 @ And the priests sung psalms of thanksgiving.

bes@2Macc:1:33 @ So when this matter was known, it was told the king of Persia, that in the place, where the priests that were led away had hid the fire, there appeared water, and that Neemias had purified the sacrifices therewith.

bes@2Macc:2:1 @ It is also found in the records, that Jeremy the prophet commanded them that were carried away to take of the fire, as it hath been signified:

bes@2Macc:2:2 @ And how that the prophet, having given them the law, charged them not to forget the commandments of the Lord, and that they should not err in their minds, when they see images of silver and gold, with their ornaments.

bes@2Macc:2:4 @ It was also contained in the same writing, that the prophet, being warned of God, commanded the tabernacle and the ark to go with him, as he went forth into the mountain, where Moses climbed up, and saw the heritage of God.

bes@2Macc:2:5 @ And when Jeremy came thither, he found an hollow cave, wherein he laid the tabernacle, and the ark, and the altar of incense, and so stopped the door.

bes@2Macc:2:6 @ And some of those that followed him came to mark the way, but they could not find it.

bes@2Macc:2:8 @ Then shall the Lord shew them these things, and the glory of the Lord shall appear, and the cloud also, as it was shewed under Moses, and as when Solomon desired that the place might be honourably sanctified.

bes@2Macc:2:9 @ It was also declared, that he being wise offered the sacrifice of dedication, and of the finishing of the temple.

bes@2Macc:2:13 @ The same things also were reported in the writings and commentaries of Neemias; and how he founding a library gathered together the acts of the kings, and the prophets, and of David, and the epistles of the kings concerning the holy gifts.

bes@2Macc:2:14 @ In like manner also Judas gathered together all those things that were lost by reason of the war we had, and they remain with us,

bes@2Macc:2:18 @ As he promised in the law, will shortly have mercy upon us, and gather us together out of every land under heaven into the holy place: for he hath delivered us out of great troubles, and hath purified the place.

bes@2Macc:2:19 @ Now as concerning Judas Maccabeus, and his brethren, and the purification of the great temple, and the dedication of the altar,

bes@2Macc:2:23 @ All these things, I say, being declared by Jason of Cyrene in five books, we will assay to abridge in one volume.

bes@2Macc:2:24 @ For considering the infinite number, and the difficulty which they find that desire to look into the narrations of the story, for the variety of the matter,

bes@2Macc:2:26 @ Therefore to us, that have taken upon us this painful labour of abridging, it was not easy, but a matter of sweat and watching;

bes@2Macc:2:27 @ Even as it is no ease unto him that prepareth a banquet, and seeketh the benefit of others: yet for the pleasuring of many we will undertake gladly this great pains;

bes@2Macc:2:28 @ Leaving to the author the exact handling of every particular, and labouring to follow the rules of an abridgement.

bes@2Macc:2:29 @ For as the master builder of a new house must care for the whole building; but he that undertaketh to set it out, and paint it, must seek out fit things for the adorning thereof: even so I think it is with us.

bes@2Macc:2:30 @ To stand upon every point, and go over things at large, and to be curious in particulars, belongeth to the first author of the story:

bes@2Macc:2:31 @ But to use brevity, and avoid much labouring of the work, is to be granted to him that will make an abridgment.

bes@2Macc:3:1 @ Now when the holy city was inhabited with all peace, and the laws were kept very well, because of the godliness of Onias the high priest, and his hatred of wickedness,

bes@2Macc:3:3 @ Insomuch that Seleucus of Asia of his own revenues bare all the costs belonging to the service of the sacrifices.

bes@2Macc:3:4 @ But one Simon of the tribe of Benjamin, who was made governor of the temple, fell out with the high priest about disorder in the city.

bes@2Macc:3:5 @ And when he could not overcome Onias, he gat him to Apollonius the son of Thraseas, who then was governor of Celosyria and Phenice,

bes@2Macc:3:6 @ And told him that the treasury in Jerusalem was full of infinite sums of money, so that the multitude of their riches, which did not pertain to the account of the sacrifices, was innumerable, and that it was possible to bring all into the king’s hand.

bes@2Macc:3:7 @ Now when Apollonius came to the king, and had shewed him of the money whereof he was told, the king chose out Heliodorus his treasurer, and sent him with a commandment to bring him the foresaid money.

bes@2Macc:3:8 @ So forthwith Heliodorus took his journey; under a colour of visiting the cities of Celosyria and Phenice, but indeed to fulfil the king’s purpose.

bes@2Macc:3:9 @ And when he was come to Jerusalem, and had been courteously received of the high priest of the city, he told him what intelligence was given of the money, and declared wherefore he came, and asked if these things were so indeed.

bes@2Macc:3:10 @ Then the high priest told him that there was such money laid up for the relief of widows and fatherless children:

bes@2Macc:3:11 @ And that some of it belonged to Hircanus son of Tobias, a man of great dignity, and not as that wicked Simon had misinformed: the sum whereof in all was four hundred talents of silver, and two hundred of gold:

bes@2Macc:3:12 @ And that it was altogether impossible that such wrongs should be done unto them, that had committed it to the holiness of the place, and to the majesty and inviolable sanctity of the temple, honoured over all the world.

bes@2Macc:3:13 @ But Heliodorus, because of the king’s commandment given him, said, That in any wise it must be brought into the king’s treasury.

bes@2Macc:3:16 @ Then whoso had looked the high priest in the face, it would have wounded his heart: for his countenance and the changing of his colour declared the inward agony of his mind.

bes@2Macc:3:17 @ For the man was so compassed with fear and horror of the body, that it was manifest to them that looked upon him, what sorrow he had now in his heart.

bes@2Macc:3:18 @ Others ran flocking out of their houses to the general supplication, because the place was like to come into contempt.

bes@2Macc:3:19 @ And the women, girt with sackcloth under their breasts, abounded in the streets, and the virgins that were kept in ran, some to the gates, and some to the walls, and others looked out of the windows.

bes@2Macc:3:21 @ Then it would have pitied a man to see the falling down of the multitude of all sorts, and the fear of the high priest being in such an agony.

bes@2Macc:3:22 @ They then called upon the Almighty Lord to keep the things committed of trust safe and sure for those that had committed them.

bes@2Macc:3:24 @ Now as he was there present himself with his guard about the treasury, the Lord of spirits, and the Prince of all power, caused a great apparition, so that all that presumed to come in with him were astonished at the power of God, and fainted, and were sore afraid.

bes@2Macc:3:25 @ For there appeared unto them an horse with a terrible rider upon him, and adorned with a very fair covering, and he ran fiercely, and smote at Heliodorus with his forefeet, and it seemed that he that sat upon the horse had complete harness of gold.

bes@2Macc:3:28 @ Thus him, that lately came with a great train and with all his guard into the said treasury, they carried out, being unable to help himself with his weapons: and manifestly they acknowledged the power of God.

bes@2Macc:3:29 @ For he by the hand of God was cast down, and lay speechless without all hope of life.

bes@2Macc:3:30 @ But they praised the Lord, that had miraculously honoured his own place: for the temple; which a little afore was full of fear and trouble, when the Almighty Lord appeared, was filled with joy and gladness.

bes@2Macc:3:31 @ Then straightways certain of Heliodorus’ friends prayed Onias, that he would call upon the most High to grant him his life, who lay ready to give up the ghost.

bes@2Macc:3:32 @ So the high priest, suspecting lest the king should misconceive that some treachery had been done to Heliodorus by the Jews, offered a sacrifice for the health of the man.

bes@2Macc:3:34 @ And seeing that thou hast been scourged from heaven, declare unto all men the mighty power of God. And when they had spoken these words, they appeared no more.

bes@2Macc:3:36 @ Then testified he to all men the works of the great God, which he had seen with his eyes.

bes@2Macc:3:38 @ If thou hast any enemy or traitor, send him thither, and thou shalt receive him well scourged, if he escape with his life: for in that place, no doubt; there is an especial power of God.

bes@2Macc:3:40 @ And the things concerning Heliodorus, and the keeping of the treasury, fell out on this sort.

bes@2Macc:4:1 @ This Simon now, of whom we spake afore, having been a betrayer of the money, and of his country, slandered Onias, as if he ha terrified Heliodorus, and been the worker of these evils.

bes@2Macc:4:2 @ Thus was he bold to call him a traitor, that had deserved well of the city, and tendered his own nation, and was so zealous of the laws.

bes@2Macc:4:3 @ But when their hatred went so far, that by one of Simon’s faction murders were committed,

bes@2Macc:4:4 @ Onias seeing the danger of this contention, and that Apollonius, as being the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, did rage, and increase Simon’s malice,

bes@2Macc:4:5 @ He went to the king, not to be an accuser of his countrymen, but seeking the good of all, both publick and private:

bes@2Macc:4:7 @ But after the death of Seleucus, when Antiochus, called Epiphanes, took the kingdom, Jason the brother of Onias laboured underhand to be high priest,

bes@2Macc:4:8 @ Promising unto the king by intercession three hundred and threescore talents of silver, and of another revenue eighty talents:

bes@2Macc:4:9 @ Beside this, he promised to assign an hundred and fifty more, if he might have licence to set him up a place for exercise, and for the training up of youth in the fashions of the heathen, and to write them of Jerusalem by the name of Antiochians.

bes@2Macc:4:11 @ And the royal privileges granted of special favour to the Jews by the means of John the father of Eupolemus, who went ambassador to Rome for amity and aid, he took away; and putting down the governments which were according to the law, he brought up new customs against the law:

bes@2Macc:4:12 @ For he built gladly a place of exercise under the tower itself, and brought the chief young men under his subjection, and made them wear a hat.

bes@2Macc:4:13 @ Now such was the height of Greek fashions, and increase of heathenish manners, through the exceeding profaneness of Jason, that ungodly wretch, and no high priest;

bes@2Macc:4:14 @ That the priests had no courage to serve any more at the altar, but despising the temple, and neglecting the sacrifices, hastened to be partakers of the unlawful allowance in the place of exercise, after the game of Discus called them forth;

bes@2Macc:4:15 @ Not setting by the honours of their fathers, but liking the glory of the Grecians best of all.

bes@2Macc:4:17 @ For it is not a light thing to do wickedly against the laws of God: but the time following shall declare these things.

bes@2Macc:4:19 @ This ungracious Jason sent special messengers from Jerusalem, who were Antiochians, to carry three hundred drachms of silver to the sacrifice of Hercules, which even the bearers thereof thought fit not to bestow upon the sacrifice, because it was not convenient, but to be reserved for other charges.

bes@2Macc:4:20 @ This money then, in regard of the sender, was appointed to Hercules’ sacrifice; but because of the bearers thereof, it was employed to the making of gallies.

bes@2Macc:4:21 @ Now when Apollonius the son of Menestheus was sent into Egypt for the coronation of king Ptolemeus Philometor, Antiochus, understanding him not to be well affected to his affairs, provided for his own safety: whereupon he came to Joppa, and from thence to Jerusalem:

bes@2Macc:4:22 @ Where he was honourably received of Jason, and of the city, and was brought in with torch alight, and with great shoutings: and so afterward went with his host unto Phenice.

bes@2Macc:4:23 @ Three years afterward Jason sent Menelaus, the aforesaid Simon’s brother, to bear the money unto the king, and to put him in mind of certain necessary matters.

bes@2Macc:4:24 @ But he being brought to the presence of the king, when he had magnified him for the glorious appearance of his power, got the priesthood to himself, offering more than Jason by three hundred talents of silver.

bes@2Macc:4:25 @ So he came with the king’s mandate, bringing nothing worthy the high priesthood, but having the fury of a cruel tyrant, and the rage of a savage beast.

bes@2Macc:4:26 @ Then Jason, who had undermined his own brother, being undermined by another, was compelled to flee into the country of the Ammonites.

bes@2Macc:4:27 @ So Menelaus got the principality: but as for the money that he had promised unto the king, he took no good order for it, albeit Sostratis the ruler of the castle required it:

bes@2Macc:4:28 @ For unto him appertained the gathering of the customs. Wherefore they were both called before the king.

bes@2Macc:4:29 @ Now Menelaus left his brother Lysimachus in his stead in the priesthood; and Sostratus left Crates, who was governor of the Cyprians.

bes@2Macc:4:30 @ While those things were in doing, they of Tarsus and Mallos made insurrection, because they were given to the king’s concubine, called Antiochus.

bes@2Macc:4:32 @ Now Menelaus, supposing that he had gotten a convenient time, stole certain vessels of gold out of the temple, and gave some of them to Andronicus, and some he sold into Tyrus and the cities round about.

bes@2Macc:4:33 @ Which when Onias knew of a surety, he reproved him, and withdrew himself into a sanctuary at Daphne, that lieth by Antiochia.

bes@2Macc:4:34 @ Wherefore Menelaus, taking Andronicus apart, prayed, him to get Onias into his hands; who being persuaded thereunto, and coming to Onias in deceit, gave him his right hand with oaths; and though he were suspected by him, yet persuaded he him to come forth of the sanctuary: whom forthwith he shut up without regard of justice.

bes@2Macc:4:35 @ For the which cause not only the Jews, but many also of other nations, took great indignation, and were much grieved for the unjust murder of the man.

bes@2Macc:4:36 @ And when the king was come again from the places about Cilicia, the Jews that were in the city, and certain of the Greeks that abhorred the fact also, complained because Onias was slain without cause.

bes@2Macc:4:37 @ Therefore Antiochus was heartily sorry, and moved to pity, and wept, because of the sober and modest behaviour of him that was dead.

bes@2Macc:4:39 @ Now when many sacrileges had been committed in the city by Lysimachus with the consent of Menelaus, and the fruit thereof was spread abroad, the multitude gathered themselves together against Lysimachus, many vessels of gold being already carried away.

bes@2Macc:4:41 @ They then seeing the attempt of Lysimachus, some of them caught stones, some clubs, others taking handfuls of dust, that was next at hand, cast them all together upon Lysimachus, and those that set upon them.

bes@2Macc:4:42 @ Thus many of them they wounded, and some they struck to the ground, and all of them they forced to flee: but as for the churchrobber himself, him they killed beside the treasury.

bes@2Macc:4:43 @ Of these matters therefore there was an accusation laid against Menelaus.

bes@2Macc:4:45 @ But Menelaus, being now convicted, promised Ptolemee the son of Dorymenes to give him much money, if he would pacify the king toward him.

bes@2Macc:4:46 @ Whereupon Ptolemee taking the king aside into a certain gallery, as it were to take the air, brought him to be of another mind:

bes@2Macc:4:47 @ Insomuch that he discharged Menelaus from the accusations, who notwithstanding was cause of all the mischief: and those poor men, who, if they had told their cause, yea, before the Scythians, should have been judged innocent, them he condemned to death.

bes@2Macc:4:49 @ Wherefore even they of Tyrus, moved with hatred of that wicked deed, caused them to be honourably buried.

bes@2Macc:4:50 @ And so through the covetousness of them that were of power Menelaus remained still in authority, increasing in malice, and being a great traitor to the citizens.

bes@2Macc:5:2 @ And then it happened, that through all the city, for the space almost of forty days, there were seen horsemen running in the air, in cloth of gold, and armed with lances, like a band of soldiers,

bes@2Macc:5:3 @ And troops of horsemen in array, encountering and running one against another, with shaking of shields, and multitude of pikes, and drawing of swords, and casting of darts, and glittering of golden ornaments, and harness of all sorts.

bes@2Macc:5:6 @ But Jason slew his own citizens without mercy, not considering that to get the day of them of his own nation would be a most unhappy day for him; but thinking they had been his enemies, and not his countrymen, whom he conquered.

bes@2Macc:5:7 @ Howbeit for all this he obtained not the principality, but at the last received shame for the reward of his treason, and fled again into the country of the Ammonites.

bes@2Macc:5:8 @ In the end therefore he had an unhappy return, being accused before Aretas the king of the Arabians, fleeing from city to city, pursued of all men, hated as a forsaker of the laws, and being had in abomination as an open enemy of his country and countrymen, he was cast out into Egypt.

bes@2Macc:5:9 @ Thus he that had driven many out of their country perished in a strange land, retiring to the Lacedemonians, and thinking there to find succour by reason of his kindred:

bes@2Macc:5:11 @ Now when this that was done came to the king’s ear, he thought that Judea had revolted: whereupon removing out of Egypt in a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms,

bes@2Macc:5:12 @ And commanded his men of war not to spare such as they met, and to slay such as went up upon the houses.

bes@2Macc:5:13 @ Thus there was killing of young and old, making away of men, women, and children, slaying of virgins and infants.

bes@2Macc:5:14 @ And there were destroyed within the space of three whole days fourscore thousand, whereof forty thousand were slain in the conflict; and no fewer sold than slain.

bes@2Macc:5:15 @ Yet was he not content with this, but presumed to go into the most holy temple of all the world; Menelaus, that traitor to the laws, and to his own country, being his guide:

bes@2Macc:5:16 @ And taking the holy vessels with polluted hands, and with profane hands pulling down the things that were dedicated by other kings to the augmentation and glory and honour of the place, he gave them away.

bes@2Macc:5:17 @ And so haughty was Antiochus in mind, that he considered not that the Lord was angry for a while for the sins of them that dwelt in the city, and therefore his eye was not upon the place.

bes@2Macc:5:20 @ And therefore the place itself, that was partaker with them of the adversity that happened to the nation, did afterward communicate in the benefits sent from the Lord: and as it was forsaken in the wrath of the Almighty, so again, the great Lord being reconciled, it was set up with all glory.

bes@2Macc:5:21 @ So when Antiochus had carried out of the temple a thousand and eight hundred talents, he departed in all haste unto Antiochia, weening in his pride to make the land navigable, and the sea passable by foot: such was the haughtiness of his mind.

bes@2Macc:5:24 @ He sent also that detestable ringleader Apollonius with an army of two and twenty thousand, commanding him to slay all those that were in their best age, and to sell the women and the younger sort:

bes@2Macc:5:25 @ Who coming to Jerusalem, and pretending peace, did forbear till the holy day of the sabbath, when taking the Jews keeping holy day, he commanded his men to arm themselves.

bes@2Macc:5:26 @ And so he slew all them that were gone to the celebrating of the sabbath, and running through the city with weapons slew great multitudes.

bes@2Macc:5:27 @ But Judas Maccabeus with nine others, or thereabout, withdrew himself into the wilderness, and lived in the mountains after the manner of beasts, with his company, who fed on herbs continually, lest they should be partakers of the pollution.

bes@2Macc:6:1 @ Not long after this the king sent an old man of Athens to compel the Jews to depart from the laws of their fathers, and not to live after the laws of God:

bes@2Macc:6:2 @ And to pollute also the temple in Jerusalem, and to call it the temple of Jupiter Olympius; and that in Garizim, of Jupiter the Defender of strangers, as they did desire that dwelt in the place.

bes@2Macc:6:3 @ The coming in of this mischief was sore and grievous to the people:

bes@2Macc:6:4 @ For the temple was filled with riot and revelling by the Gentiles, who dallied with harlots, and had to do with women within the circuit of the holy places, and besides that brought in things that were not lawful.

bes@2Macc:6:7 @ And in the day of the king’s birth every month they were brought by bitter constraint to eat of the sacrifices; and when the fast of Bacchus was kept, the Jews were compelled to go in procession to Bacchus, carrying ivy.

bes@2Macc:6:8 @ Moreover there went out a decree to the neighbour cities of the heathen, by the suggestion of Ptolemee, against the Jews, that they should observe the same fashions, and be partakers of their sacrifices:

bes@2Macc:6:9 @ And whoso would not conform themselves to the manners of the Gentiles should be put to death. Then might a man have seen the present misery.

bes@2Macc:6:11 @ And others, that had run together into caves near by, to keep the sabbath day secretly, being discovered by Philip, were all burnt together, because they made a conscience to help themselves for the honour of the most sacred day.

bes@2Macc:6:12 @ Now I beseech those that read this book, that they be not discouraged for these calamities, but that they judge those punishments not to be for destruction, but for a chastening of our nation.

bes@2Macc:6:13 @ For it is a token of his great goodness, when wicked doers are not suffered any long time, but forthwith punished.

bes@2Macc:6:14 @ For not as with other nations, whom the Lord patiently forbeareth to punish, till they be come to the fulness of their sins, so dealeth he with us,

bes@2Macc:6:15 @ Lest that, being come to the height of sin, afterwards he should take vengeance of us.

bes@2Macc:6:17 @ But let this that we at spoken be for a warning unto us. And now will we come to the declaring of the matter in a few words.

bes@2Macc:6:18 @ Eleazar, one of the principal scribes, an aged man, and of a well favoured countenance, was constrained to open his mouth, and to eat swine’s flesh.

bes@2Macc:6:19 @ But he, choosing rather to die gloriously, than to live stained with such an abomination, spit it forth, and came of his own accord to the torment,

bes@2Macc:6:20 @ As it behoved them to come, that are resolute to stand out against such things, as are not lawful for love of life to be tasted.

bes@2Macc:6:21 @ But they that had the charge of that wicked feast, for the old acquaintance they had with the man, taking him aside, besought him to bring flesh of his own provision, such as was lawful for him to use, and make as if he did eat of the flesh taken from the sacrifice commanded by the king;

bes@2Macc:6:23 @ But he began to consider discreetly, and as became his age, and the excellency of his ancient years, and the honour of his gray head, whereon was come, and his most honest education from a child, or rather the holy law made and given by God: therefore he answered accordingly, and willed them straightways to send him to the grave.

bes@2Macc:6:26 @ For though for the present time I should be delivered from the punishment of men: yet should I not escape the hand of the Almighty, neither alive, nor dead.

bes@2Macc:6:31 @ And thus this man died, leaving his death for an example of a noble courage, and a memorial of virtue, not only unto young men, but unto all his nation.

bes@2Macc:7:2 @ But one of them that spake first said thus, What wouldest thou ask or learn of us? we are ready to die, rather than to transgress the laws of our fathers.

bes@2Macc:7:4 @ Which forthwith being heated, he commanded to cut out the tongue of him that spake first, and to cut off the utmost parts of his body, the rest of his brethren and his mother looking on.

bes@2Macc:7:5 @ Now when he was thus maimed in all his members, he commanded him being yet alive to be brought to the fire, and to be fried in the pan: and as the vapour of the pan was for a good space dispersed, they exhorted one another with the mother to die manfully, saying thus,

bes@2Macc:7:7 @ So when the first was dead after this number, they brought the second to make him a mocking stock: and when they had pulled off the skin of his head with the hair, they asked him, Wilt thou eat, before thou be punished throughout every member of thy body?

bes@2Macc:7:9 @ And when he was at the last gasp, he said, Thou like a fury takest us out of this present life, but the King of the world shall raise us up, who have died for his laws, unto everlasting life.

bes@2Macc:7:16 @ Then looked he unto the king, and said, Thou hast power over men, thou art corruptible, thou doest what thou wilt; yet think not that our nation is forsaken of God;

bes@2Macc:7:20 @ But the mother was marvellous above all, and worthy of honourable memory: for when she saw her seven sons slain within the space of one day, she bare it with a good courage, because of the hope that she had in the Lord.

bes@2Macc:7:21 @ Yea, she exhorted every one of them in her own language, filled with courageous spirits; and stirring up her womanish thoughts with a manly stomach, she said unto them,

bes@2Macc:7:22 @ I cannot tell how ye came into my womb: for I neither gave you breath nor life, neither was it I that formed the members of every one of you;

bes@2Macc:7:23 @ But doubtless the Creator of the world, who formed the generation of man, and found out the beginning of all things, will also of his own mercy give you breath and life again, as ye now regard not your own selves for his laws’ sake.

bes@2Macc:7:24 @ Now Antiochus, thinking himself despised, and suspecting it to be a reproachful speech, whilst the youngest was yet alive, did not only exhort him by words, but also assured him with oaths, that he would make him both a rich and a happy man, if he would turn from the laws of his fathers; and that also he would take him for his friend, and trust him with affairs.

bes@2Macc:7:27 @ But she bowing herself toward him, laughing the cruel tyrant to scorn, spake in her country language on this manner; O my son, have pity upon me that bare thee nine months in my womb, and gave thee such three years, and nourished thee, and brought thee up unto this age, and endured the troubles of education.

bes@2Macc:7:28 @ I beseech thee, my son, look upon the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, and consider that God made them of things that were not; and so was mankind made likewise.

bes@2Macc:7:29 @ Fear not this tormentor, but, being worthy of thy brethren, take thy death that I may receive thee again in mercy with thy brethren.

bes@2Macc:7:30 @ Whiles she was yet speaking these words, the young man said, Whom wait ye for? I will not obey the king’s commandment: but I will obey the commandment of the law that was given unto our fathers by Moses.

bes@2Macc:7:31 @ And thou, that hast been the author of all mischief against the Hebrews, shalt not escape the hands of God.

bes@2Macc:7:32 @ For we suffer because of our sins.

bes@2Macc:7:34 @ But thou, O godless man, and of all other most wicked, be not lifted up without a cause, nor puffed up with uncertain hopes, lifting up thy hand against the servants of God:

bes@2Macc:7:35 @ For thou hast not yet escaped the judgement of Almighty God, who seeth all things.

bes@2Macc:7:36 @ For our brethren, who now have suffered a short pain, are dead under God’s covenant of everlasting life: but thou, through the judgement of God, shalt receive just punishment for thy pride.

bes@2Macc:7:37 @ But I, as my brethren, offer up my body and life for the laws of our fathers, beseeching God that he would speedily be merciful unto our nation; and that thou by torments and plagues mayest confess, that he alone is God;

bes@2Macc:7:38 @ And that in me and my brethren the wrath of the Almighty, which is justly brought upon our nation, may cease.

bes@2Macc:7:41 @ Last of all after the sons the mother died.

bes@2Macc:8:2 @ And they called upon the Lord, that he would look upon the people that was trodden down of all; and also pity the temple profaned of ungodly men;

bes@2Macc:8:4 @ And remember the wicked slaughter of harmless infants, and the blasphemies committed against his name; and that he would shew his hatred against the wicked.

bes@2Macc:8:5 @ Now when Maccabeus had his company about him, he could not be withstood by the heathen: for the wrath of the Lord was turned into mercy.

bes@2Macc:8:6 @ Therefore he came at unawares, and burnt up towns and cities, and got into his hands the most commodious places, and overcame and put to flight no small number of his enemies.

bes@2Macc:8:7 @ But specially took he advantage of the night for such privy attempts, insomuch that the fruit of his holiness was spread every where.

bes@2Macc:8:8 @ So when Philip saw that this man increased by little and little, and that things prospered with him still more and more, he wrote unto Ptolemeus, the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, to yield more aid to the king’s affairs.

bes@2Macc:8:9 @ Then forthwith choosing Nicanor the son of Patroclus, one of his special friends, he sent him with no fewer than twenty thousand of all nations under him, to root out the whole generation of the Jews; and with him he joined also Gorgias a captain, who in matters of war had great experience.

bes@2Macc:8:10 @ So Nicanor undertook to make so much money of the captive Jews, as should defray the tribute of two thousand talents, which the king was to pay to the Romans.

bes@2Macc:8:11 @ Wherefore immediately he sent to the cities upon the sea coast, proclaiming a sale of the captive Jews, and promising that they should have fourscore and ten bodies for one talent, not expecting the vengeance that was to follow upon him from the Almighty God.

bes@2Macc:8:12 @ Now when word was brought unto Judas of Nicanor’s coming, and he had imparted unto those that were with him that the army was at hand,

bes@2Macc:8:13 @ They that were fearful, and distrusted the justice of God, fled, and conveyed themselves away.

bes@2Macc:8:16 @ So Maccabeus called his men together unto the number of six thousand, and exhorted them not to be stricken with terror of the enemy, nor to fear the great multitude of the heathen, who came wrongly against them; but to fight manfully,

bes@2Macc:8:17 @ And to set before their eyes the injury that they had unjustly done to the holy place, and the cruel handling of the city, whereof they made a mockery, and also the taking away of the government of their forefathers:

bes@2Macc:8:20 @ And he told them of the battle that they had in Babylon with the Galatians, how they came but eight thousand in all to the business, with four thousand Macedonians, and that the Macedonians being perplexed, the eight thousand destroyed an hundred and twenty thousand because of the help that they had from heaven, and so received a great booty.

bes@2Macc:8:22 @ And joined with himself his own brethren, leaders of each band, to wit Simon, and Joseph, and Jonathan, giving each one fifteen hundred men.

bes@2Macc:8:23 @ Also he appointed Eleazar to read the holy book: and when he had given them this watchword, The help of God; himself leading the first band,

bes@2Macc:8:24 @ And by the help of the Almighty they slew above nine thousand of their enemies, and wounded and maimed the most part of Nicanor’s host, and so put all to flight;

bes@2Macc:8:27 @ So when they had gathered their armour together, and spoiled their enemies, they occupied themselves about the sabbath, yielding exceeding praise and thanks to the Lord, who had preserved them unto that day, which was the beginning of mercy distilling upon them.

bes@2Macc:8:28 @ And after the sabbath, when they had given part of the spoils to the maimed, and the widows, and orphans, the residue they divided among themselves and their servants.

bes@2Macc:8:30 @ Moreover of those that were with Timotheus and Bacchides, who fought against them, they slew above twenty thousand, and very easily got high and strong holds, and divided among themselves many spoils more, and made the maimed, orphans, widows, yea, and the aged also, equal in spoils with themselves.

bes@2Macc:8:31 @ And when they had gathered their armour together, they laid them up all carefully in convenient places, and the remnant of the spoils they brought to Jerusalem.

bes@2Macc:8:35 @ He was through the help of the Lord brought down by them, of whom he made least account; and putting off his glorious apparel, and discharging his company, he came like a fugitive servant through the midland unto Antioch having very great dishonour, for that his host was destroyed.

bes@2Macc:8:36 @ Thus he, that took upon him to make good to the Romans their tribute by means of captives in Jerusalem, told abroad, that the Jews had God to fight for them, and therefore they could not be hurt, because they followed the laws that he gave them.

bes@2Macc:9:1 @ About that time came Antiochus with dishonour out of the country of Persia

bes@2Macc:9:2 @ For he had entered the city called Persepolis, and went about to rob the temple, and to hold the city; whereupon the multitude running to defend themselves with their weapons put them to flight; and so it happened, that Antiochus being put to flight of the inhabitants returned with shame.

bes@2Macc:9:4 @ Then swelling with anger. he thought to avenge upon the Jews the disgrace done unto him by those that made him flee. Therefore commanded he his chariotman to drive without ceasing, and to dispatch the journey, the judgement of God now following him. For he had spoken proudly in this sort, That he would come to Jerusalem and make it a common burying place of the Jews.

bes@2Macc:9:5 @ But the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, smote him with an incurable and invisible plague: or as soon as he had spoken these words, a pain of the bowels that was remediless came upon him, and sore torments of the inner parts;

bes@2Macc:9:7 @ Howbeit he nothing at all ceased from his bragging, but still was filled with pride, breathing out fire in his rage against the Jews, and commanding to haste the journey: but it came to pass that he fell down from his chariot, carried violently; so that having a sore fall, all the members of his body were much pained.

bes@2Macc:9:8 @ And thus he that a little afore thought he might command the waves of the sea, (so proud was he beyond the condition of man) and weigh the high mountains in a balance, was now cast on the ground, and carried in an horselitter, shewing forth unto all the manifest power of God.

bes@2Macc:9:9 @ So that the worms rose up out of the body of this wicked man, and whiles he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell away, and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to all his army.

bes@2Macc:9:10 @ And the man, that thought a little afore he could reach to the stars of heaven, no man could endure to carry for his intolerable stink.

bes@2Macc:9:11 @ Here therefore, being plagued, he began to leave off his great pride, and to come to the knowledge of himself by the scourge of God, his pain increasing every moment.

bes@2Macc:9:12 @ And when he himself could not abide his own smell, he said these words, It is meet to be subject unto God, and that a man that is mortal should not proudly think of himself if he were God.

bes@2Macc:9:15 @ And as touching the Jews, whom he had judged not worthy so much as to be buried, but to be cast out with their children to be devoured of the fowls and wild beasts, he would make them all equals to the citizens of Athens:

bes@2Macc:9:16 @ And the holy temple, which before he had spoiled, he would garnish with goodly gifts, and restore all the holy vessels with many more, and out of his own revenue defray the charges belonging to the sacrifices:

bes@2Macc:9:17 @ Yea, and that also he would become a Jew himself, and go through all the world that was inhabited, and declare the power of God.

bes@2Macc:9:18 @ But for all this his pains would not cease: for the just judgement of God was come upon him: therefore despairing of his health, he wrote unto the Jews the letter underwritten, containing the form of a supplication, after this manner:

bes@2Macc:9:21 @ As for me, I was weak, or else I would have remembered kindly your honour and good will returning out of Persia, and being taken with a grievous disease, I thought it necessary to care for the common safety of all:

bes@2Macc:9:24 @ To the end that, if any thing fell out contrary to expectation, or if any tidings were brought that were grievous, they of the land, knowing to whom the state was left, might not be troubled:

bes@2Macc:9:25 @ Again, considering how that the princes that are borderers and neighbours unto my kingdom wait for opportunities, and expect what shall be the event. I have appointed my son Antiochus king, whom I often committed and commended unto many of you, when I went up into the high provinces; to whom I have written as followeth:

bes@2Macc:9:29 @ And Philip, that was brought up with him, carried away his body, who also fearing the son of Antiochus went into Egypt to Ptolemeus Philometor.

bes@2Macc:10:3 @ And having cleansed the temple they made another altar, and striking stones they took fire out of them, and offered a sacrifice after two years, and set forth incense, and lights, and shewbread.

bes@2Macc:10:5 @ Now upon the same day that the strangers profaned the temple, on the very same day it was cleansed again, even the five and twentieth day of the same month, which is Casleu.

bes@2Macc:10:6 @ And they kept the eight days with gladness, as in the feast of the tabernacles, remembering that not long afore they had held the feast of the tabernacles, when as they wandered in the mountains and dens like beasts.

bes@2Macc:10:8 @ They ordained also by a common statute and decree, That every year those days should be kept of the whole nation of the Jews.

bes@2Macc:10:9 @ And this was the end of Antiochus, called Epiphanes.

bes@2Macc:10:10 @ Now will we declare the acts of Antiochus Eupator, who was the son of this wicked man, gathering briefly the calamities of the wars.

bes@2Macc:10:11 @ So when he was come to the crown, he set one Lysias over the affairs of his realm, and appointed him his chief governor of Celosyria and Phenice.

bes@2Macc:10:13 @ Whereupon being accused of the king’s friends before Eupator, and called traitor at every word because he had left Cyprus, that Philometor had committed unto him, and departed to Antiochus Epiphanes, and seeing that he was in no honourable place, he was so discouraged, that he poisoned himself and died.

bes@2Macc:10:14 @ But when Gorgias was governor of the holds, he hired soldiers, and nourished war continually with the Jews:

bes@2Macc:10:16 @ Then they that were with Maccabeus made supplication, and besought God that he would be their helper; and so they ran with violence upon the strong holds of the Idumeans,

bes@2Macc:10:18 @ And because certain, who were no less than nine thousand, were fled together into two very strong castles, having all manner of things convenient to sustain the siege,

bes@2Macc:10:20 @ Now they that were with Simon, being led with covetousness, were persuaded for money through certain of those that were in the castle, and took seventy thousand drachms, and let some of them escape.

bes@2Macc:10:21 @ But when it was told Maccabeus what was done, he called the governors of the people together, and accused those men, that they had sold their brethren for money, and set their enemies free to fight against them.

bes@2Macc:10:24 @ Now Timotheus, whom the Jews had overcome before, when he had gathered a great multitude of foreign forces, and horses out of Asia not a few, came as though he would take Jewry by force of arms.

bes@2Macc:10:26 @ And fell down at the foot of the altar, and besought him to be merciful to them, and to be an enemy to their enemies, and an adversary to their adversaries, as the law declareth.

bes@2Macc:10:28 @ Now the sun being newly risen, they joined both together; the one part having together with their virtue their refuge also unto the Lord for a pledge of their success and victory: the other side making their rage leader of their battle

bes@2Macc:10:29 @ But when the battle waxed strong, there appeared unto the enemies from heaven five comely men upon horses, with bridles of gold, and two of them led the Jews,

bes@2Macc:10:30 @ And took Maccabeus betwixt them, and covered him on every side weapons, and kept him safe, but shot arrows and lightnings against the enemies: so that being confounded with blindness, and full of trouble, they were killed.

bes@2Macc:10:31 @ And there were slain of footmen twenty thousand and five hundred, and six hundred horsemen.

bes@2Macc:10:34 @ And they that were within, trusting to the strength of the place, blasphemed exceedingly, and uttered wicked words.

bes@2Macc:10:35 @ Nevertheless upon the fifth day early twenty young men of Maccabeus’ company, inflamed with anger because of the blasphemies, assaulted the wall manly, and with a fierce courage killed all that they met withal.

bes@2Macc:10:36 @ Others likewise ascending after them, whiles they were busied with them that were within, burnt the towers, and kindling fires burnt the blasphemers alive; and others broke open the gates, and, having received in the rest of the army, took the city,

bes@2Macc:11:2 @ And when he had gathered about fourscore thousand with all the horsemen, he came against the Jews, thinking to make the city an habitation of the Gentiles,

bes@2Macc:11:3 @ And to make a gain of the temple, as of the other chapels of the heathen, and to set the high priesthood to sale every year:

bes@2Macc:11:4 @ Not at all considering the power of God but puffed up with his ten thousands of footmen, and his thousands of horsemen, and his fourscore elephants.

bes@2Macc:11:7 @ Then Maccabeus himself first of all took weapons, exhorting the other that they would jeopard themselves together with him to help their brethren: so they went forth together with a willing mind.

bes@2Macc:11:8 @ And as they were at Jerusalem, there appeared before them on horseback one in white clothing, shaking his armour of gold.

bes@2Macc:11:9 @ Then they praised the merciful God all together, and took heart, insomuch that they were ready not only to fight with men, but with most cruel beasts, and to pierce through walls of iron.

bes@2Macc:11:12 @ Many of them also being wounded escaped naked; and Lysias himself fled away shamefully, and so escaped.

bes@2Macc:11:13 @ Who, as he was a man of understanding, casting with himself what loss he had had, and considering that the Hebrews could not be overcome, because the Almighty God helped them, he sent unto them,

bes@2Macc:11:15 @ Then Maccabeus consented to all that Lysias desired, being careful of the common good; and whatsoever Maccabeus wrote unto Lysias concerning the Jews, the king granted it.

bes@2Macc:11:16 @ For there were letters written unto the Jews from Lysias to this effect: Lysias unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting:

bes@2Macc:11:17 @ John and Absalon, who were sent from you, delivered me the petition subscribed, and made request for the performance of the contents thereof.

bes@2Macc:11:19 @ And if then ye will keep yourselves loyal to the state, hereafter also will I endeavour to be a means of your good.

bes@2Macc:11:20 @ But of the particulars I have given order both to these and the other that came from me, to commune with you.

bes@2Macc:11:21 @ Fare ye well. The hundred and eight and fortieth year, the four and twentieth day of the month Dioscorinthius.

bes@2Macc:11:24 @ We understand also that the Jews would not consent to our father, for to be brought unto the custom of the Gentiles, but had rather keep their own manner of living: for the which cause they require of us, that we should suffer them to live after their own laws.

bes@2Macc:11:25 @ Wherefore our mind is, that this nation shall be in rest, and we have determined to restore them their temple, that they may live according to the customs of their forefathers.

bes@2Macc:11:26 @ Thou shalt do well therefore to send unto them, and grant them peace, that when they are certified of our mind, they may be of good comfort, and ever go cheerfully about their own affairs.

bes@2Macc:11:27 @ And the letter of the king unto the nation of the Jews was after this manner: King Antiochus sendeth greeting unto the council, and the rest of the Jews:

bes@2Macc:11:30 @ Wherefore they that will depart shall have safe conduct till the thirtieth day of Xanthicus with security.

bes@2Macc:11:31 @ And the Jews shall use their own kind of meats and laws, as before; and none of them any manner of ways shall be molested for things ignorantly done.

bes@2Macc:11:33 @ Fare ye well. In the hundred forty and eighth year, and the fifteenth day of the month Xanthicus.

bes@2Macc:11:34 @ The Romans also sent unto them a letter containing these words: Quintus Memmius and Titus Manlius, ambassadors of the Romans, send greeting unto the people of the Jews.

bes@2Macc:11:38 @ Farewell. This hundred and eight and fortieth year, the fifteenth day of the month Xanthicus.

bes@2Macc:12:2 @ But of the governors of several places, Timotheus, and Apollonius the son of Genneus, also Hieronymus, and Demophon, and beside them Nicanor the governor of Cyprus, would not suffer them to be quiet and live in peace.

bes@2Macc:12:3 @ The men of Joppa also did such an ungodly deed: they prayed the Jews that dwelt among them to go with their wives and children into the boats which they had prepared, as though they had meant them no hurt.

bes@2Macc:12:4 @ Who accepted of it according to the common decree of the city, as being desirous to live in peace, and suspecting nothing: but when they were gone forth into the deep, they drowned no less than two hundred of them.

bes@2Macc:12:5 @ When Judas heard of this cruelty done unto his countrymen, he commanded those that were with him to make them ready.

bes@2Macc:12:6 @ And calling upon God the righteous Judge, he came against those murderers of his brethren, and burnt the haven by night, and set the boats on fire, and those that fled thither he slew.

bes@2Macc:12:7 @ And when the town was shut up, he went backward, as if he would return to root out all them of the city of Joppa.

bes@2Macc:12:9 @ He came upon the Jamnites also by night, and set fire on the haven and the navy, so that the light of the fire was seen at Jerusalem two hundred and forty furlongs off.

bes@2Macc:12:10 @ Now when they were gone from thence nine furlongs in their journey toward Timotheus, no fewer than five thousand men on foot and five hundred horsemen of the Arabians set upon him.

bes@2Macc:12:11 @ Whereupon there was a very sore battle; but Judas’ side by the help of God got the victory; so that the Nomades of Arabia, being overcome, besought Judas for peace, promising both to give him cattle, and to pleasure him otherwise.

bes@2Macc:12:13 @ He went also about to make a bridge to a certain strong city, which was fenced about with walls, and inhabited by people of divers countries; and the name of it was Caspis.

bes@2Macc:12:14 @ But they that were within it put such trust in the strength of the walls and provision of victuals, that they behaved themselves rudely toward them that were with Judas, railing and blaspheming, and uttering such words as were not to be spoken.

bes@2Macc:12:15 @ Wherefore Judas with his company, calling upon the great Lord of the world, who without rams or engines of war did cast down Jericho in the time of Joshua, gave a fierce assault against the walls,

bes@2Macc:12:16 @ And took the city by the will of God, and made unspeakable slaughters, insomuch that a lake two furlongs broad near adjoining thereunto, being filled full, was seen running with blood.

bes@2Macc:12:19 @ Howbeit Dositheus and Sosipater, who were of Maccabeus’ captains, went forth, and slew those that Timotheus had left in the fortress, above ten thousand men.

bes@2Macc:12:20 @ And Maccabeus ranged his army by bands, and set them over the bands, and went against Timotheus, who had about him an hundred and twenty thousand men of foot, and two thousand and five hundred horsemen.

bes@2Macc:12:21 @ Now when Timotheus had knowledge of Judas’ coming, he sent the women and children and the other baggage unto a fortress called Carnion: for the town was hard to besiege, and uneasy to come unto, by reason of the straitness of all the places.

bes@2Macc:12:22 @ But when Judas his first band came in sight, the enemies, being smitten with fear and terror through the appearing of him who seeth all things, fled amain, one running into this way, another that way, so as that they were often hurt of their own men, and wounded with the points of their own swords.

bes@2Macc:12:23 @ Judas also was very earnest in pursuing them, killing those wicked wretches, of whom he slew about thirty thousand men.

bes@2Macc:12:24 @ Moreover Timotheus himself fell into the hands of Dositheus and Sosipater, whom he besought with much craft to let him go with his life, because he had many of the Jews’ parents, and the brethren of some of them, who, if they put him to death, should not be regarded.

bes@2Macc:12:25 @ So when he had assured them with many words that he would restore them without hurt, according to the agreement, they let him go for the saving of their brethren.

bes@2Macc:12:26 @ Then Maccabeus marched forth to Carnion, and to the temple of Atargatis, and there he slew five and twenty thousand persons.

bes@2Macc:12:27 @ And after he had put to flight and destroyed them, Judas removed the host toward Ephron, a strong city, wherein Lysias abode, and a great multitude of divers nations, and the strong young men kept the walls, and defended them mightily: wherein also was great provision of engines and darts.

bes@2Macc:12:28 @ But when Judas and his company had called upon Almighty God, who with his power breaketh the strength of his enemies, they won the city, and slew twenty and five thousand of them that were within,

bes@2Macc:12:30 @ But when the Jews that dwelt there had testified that the Scythopolitans dealt lovingly with them, and entreated them kindly in the time of their adversity;

bes@2Macc:12:31 @ They gave them thanks, desiring them to be friendly still unto them: and so they came to Jerusalem, the feast of the weeks approaching.

bes@2Macc:12:32 @ And after the feast, called Pentecost, they went forth against Gorgias the governor of Idumea,

bes@2Macc:12:33 @ Who came out with three thousand men of foot and four hundred horsemen.

bes@2Macc:12:34 @ And it happened that in their fighting together a few of the Jews were slain.

bes@2Macc:12:35 @ At which time Dositheus, one of Bacenor’s company, who was on horseback, and a strong man, was still upon Gorgias, and taking hold of his coat drew him by force; and when he would have taken that cursed man alive, a horseman of Thracia coming upon him smote off his shoulder, so that Gorgias fled unto Marisa.

bes@2Macc:12:36 @ Now when they that were with Gorgias had fought long, and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord, that he would shew himself to be their helper and leader of the battle.

bes@2Macc:12:38 @ So Judas gathered his host, and came into the city of Odollam, And when the seventh day came, they purified themselves, as the custom was, and kept the sabbath in the same place.

bes@2Macc:12:39 @ And upon the day following, as the use had been, Judas and his company came to take up the bodies of them that were slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen in their fathers’ graves.

bes@2Macc:12:40 @ Now under the coats of every one that was slain they found things consecrated to the idols of the Jamnites, which is forbidden the Jews by the law. Then every man saw that this was the cause wherefore they were slain.

bes@2Macc:12:42 @ Betook themselves unto prayer, and besought him that the sin committed might wholly be put out of remembrance. Besides, that noble Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves from sin, forsomuch as they saw before their eyes the things that came to pass for the sins of those that were slain.

bes@2Macc:12:43 @ And when he had made a gathering throughout the company to the sum of two thousand drachms of silver, he sent it to Jerusalem to offer a sin offering, doing therein very well and honestly, in that he was mindful of the resurrection:

bes@2Macc:13:2 @ And with him Lysias his protector, and ruler of his affairs, having either of them a Grecian power of footmen, an hundred and ten thousand, and horsemen five thousand and three hundred, and elephants two and twenty, and three hundred chariots armed with hooks.

bes@2Macc:13:3 @ Menelaus also joined himself with them, and with great dissimulation encouraged Antiochus, not for the safeguard of the country, but because he thought to have been made governor.

bes@2Macc:13:4 @ But the King of kings moved Antiochus’ mind against this wicked wretch, and Lysias informed the king that this man was the cause of all mischief, so that the king commanded to bring him unto Berea, and to put him to death, as the manner is in that place.

bes@2Macc:13:5 @ Now there was in that place a tower of fifty cubits high, full of ashes, and it had a round instrument which on every side hanged down into the ashes.

bes@2Macc:13:6 @ And whosoever was condemned of sacrilege, or had committed any other grievous crime, there did all men thrust him unto death.

bes@2Macc:13:13 @ And Judas, being apart with the elders, determined, before the king’s host should enter into Judea, and get the city, to go forth and try the matter in fight by the help of the Lord.

bes@2Macc:13:14 @ So when he had committed all to the Creator of the world, and exhorted his soldiers to fight manfully, even unto death, for the laws, the temple, the city, the country, and the commonwealth, he camped by Modin:

bes@2Macc:13:15 @ And having given the watchword to them that were about him, Victory is of God; with the most valiant and choice young men he went in into the king’s tent by night, and slew in the camp about four thousand men, and the chiefest of the elephants, with all that were upon him.

bes@2Macc:13:17 @ This was done in the break of the day, because the protection of the Lord did help him.

bes@2Macc:13:18 @ Now when the king had taken a taste of the manliness of the Jews, he went about to take the holds by policy,

bes@2Macc:13:19 @ And marched toward Bethsura, which was a strong hold of the Jews: but he was put to flight, failed, and lost of his men:

bes@2Macc:13:24 @ And accepted well of Maccabeus, made him principal governor from Ptolemais unto the Gerrhenians;

bes@2Macc:13:26 @ Lysias went up to the judgement seat, said as much as could be in defence of the cause, persuaded, pacified, made them well affected, returned to Antioch. Thus it went touching the king’s coming and departing.

bes@2Macc:14:1 @ After three years was Judas informed, that Demetrius the son of Seleucus, having entered by the haven of Tripolis with a great power and navy,

bes@2Macc:14:3 @ Now one Alcimus, who had been high priest, and had defiled himself wilfully in the times of their mingling with the Gentiles, seeing that by no means he could save himself, nor have any more access to the holy altar,

bes@2Macc:14:4 @ Came to king Demetrius in the hundred and one and fiftieth year, presenting unto him a crown of gold, and a palm, and also of the boughs which were used solemnly in the temple: and so that day he held his peace.

bes@2Macc:14:6 @ Those of the Jews that he called Assideans, whose captain is Judas Maccabeus, nourish war and are seditious, and will not let the rest be in peace.

bes@2Macc:14:7 @ Therefore I, being deprived of mine ancestors’ honour, I mean the high priesthood, am now come hither:

bes@2Macc:14:8 @ First, verily for the unfeigned care I have of things pertaining to the king; and secondly, even for that I intend the good of mine own countrymen: for all our nation is in no small misery through the unadvised dealing of them aforesaid.

bes@2Macc:14:11 @ This was no sooner spoken of him, but others of the king’s friends, being maliciously set against Judas, did more incense Demetrius.

bes@2Macc:14:12 @ And forthwith calling Nicanor, who had been master of the elephants, and making him governor over Judea, he sent him forth,

bes@2Macc:14:13 @ Commanding him to slay Judas, and to scatter them that were with him, and to make Alcimus high priest of the great temple.

bes@2Macc:14:14 @ Then the heathen, that had fled out of Judea from Judas, came to Nicanor by flocks, thinking the harm and calamities of the Jews to be their welfare.

bes@2Macc:14:15 @ Now when the Jews heard of Nicanor’s coming, and that the heathen were up against them, they cast earth upon their heads, and made supplication to him that had established his people for ever, and who always helpeth his portion with manifestation of his presence.

bes@2Macc:14:16 @ So at the commandment of the captain they removed straightways from thence, and came near unto them at the town of Dessau.

bes@2Macc:14:17 @ Now Simon, Judas’ brother, had joined battle with Nicanor, but was somewhat discomfited through the sudden silence of his enemies.

bes@2Macc:14:18 @ Nevertheless Nicanor, hearing of the manliness of them that were with Judas, and the courageousness that they had to fight for their country, durst not try the matter by the sword.

bes@2Macc:14:20 @ So when they had taken long advisement thereupon, and the captain had made the multitude acquainted therewith, and it appeared that they were all of one mind, they consented to the covenants,

bes@2Macc:14:21 @ And appointed a day to meet in together by themselves: and when the day came, and stools were set for either of them,

bes@2Macc:14:24 @ And he would not willingly have Judas out of his sight: for he love the man from his heart

bes@2Macc:14:25 @ He prayed him also to take a wife, and to beget children: so he married, was quiet, and took part of this life.

bes@2Macc:14:27 @ Then the king being in a rage, and provoked with the accusations of the most wicked man, wrote to Nicanor, signifying that he was much displeased with the covenants, and commanding him that he should send Maccabeus prisoner in all haste unto Antioch.

bes@2Macc:14:30 @ Notwithstanding, when Maccabeus saw that Nicanor began to be churlish unto him, and that he entreated him more roughly than he was wont, perceiving that such sour behaviour came not of good, he gathered together not a few of his men, and withdrew himself from Nicanor.

bes@2Macc:14:33 @ He stretched out his right hand toward the temple, and made an oath in this manner: If ye will not deliver me Judas as a prisoner, I will lay this temple of God even with the ground, and I will break down the altar, and erect a notable temple unto Bacchus.

bes@2Macc:14:34 @ After these words he departed. Then the priests lifted up their hands toward heaven, and besought him that was ever a defender of their nation, saying in this manner;

bes@2Macc:14:35 @ Thou, O Lord of all things, who hast need of nothing, wast pleased that the temple of thine habitation should be among us:

bes@2Macc:14:36 @ Therefore now, O holy Lord of all holiness, keep this house ever undefiled, which lately was cleansed, and stop every unrighteous mouth.

bes@2Macc:14:37 @ Now was there accused unto Nicanor one Razis, one of the elders of Jerusalem, a lover of his countrymen, and a man of very good report, who for his kindness was called a father of the Jews.

bes@2Macc:14:38 @ For in the former times, when they mingled not themselves with the Gentiles, he had been accused of Judaism, and did boldly jeopard his body and life with all vehemency for the religion of the Jews.

bes@2Macc:14:39 @ So Nicanor, willing to declare the hate that he bare unto the Jews, sent above five hundred men of war to take him:

bes@2Macc:14:42 @ Choosing rather to die manfully, than to come into the hands of the wicked, to be abused otherwise than beseemed his noble birth:

bes@2Macc:14:43 @ But missing his stroke through haste, the multitude also rushing within the doors, he ran boldly up to the wall, and cast himself down manfully among the thickest of them.

bes@2Macc:14:44 @ But they quickly giving back, and a space being made, he fell down into the midst of the void place.

bes@2Macc:14:45 @ Nevertheless, while there was yet breath within him, being inflamed with anger, he rose up; and though his blood gushed out like spouts of water, and his wounds were grievous, yet he ran through the midst of the throng; and standing upon a steep rock,

bes@2Macc:14:46 @ When as his blood was now quite gone, he plucked out his bowels, and taking them in both his hands, he cast them upon the throng, and calling upon the Lord of life and spirit to restore him those again, he thus died.

bes@2Macc:15:6 @ So Nicanor in exceeding pride and haughtiness determined to set up a publick monument of his victory over Judas and them that were with him.

bes@2Macc:15:8 @ Wherefore he exhorted his people not to fear the coming of the heathen against them, but to remember the help which in former times they had received from heaven, and now to expect the victory and aid, which should come unto them from the Almighty.

bes@2Macc:15:9 @ And so comforting them out of the law and the prophets, and withal putting them in mind of the battles that they won afore, he made them more cheerful.

bes@2Macc:15:10 @ And when he had stirred up their minds, he gave them their charge, shewing them therewithal the falsehood of the heathen, and the breach of oaths.

bes@2Macc:15:11 @ Thus he armed every one of them, not so much with defence of shields and spears, as with comfortable and good words: and beside that, he told them a dream worthy to be believed, as if it had been so indeed, which did not a little rejoice them.

bes@2Macc:15:12 @ And this was his vision: That Onias, who had been high priest, a virtuous and a good man, reverend in conversation, gentle in condition, well spoken also, and exercised from a child in all points of virtue, holding up his hands prayed for the whole body of the Jews.

bes@2Macc:15:13 @ This done, in like manner there appeared a man with gray hairs, and exceeding glorious, who was of a wonderful and excellent majesty.

bes@2Macc:15:14 @ Then Onias answered, saying, This is a lover of the brethren, who prayeth much for the people, and for the holy city, to wit, Jeremias the prophet of God.

bes@2Macc:15:15 @ Whereupon Jeremias holding forth his right hand gave to Judas a sword of gold, and in giving it spake thus,

bes@2Macc:15:17 @ Thus being well comforted by the words of Judas, which were very good, and able to stir them up to valour, and to encourage the hearts of the young men, they determined not to pitch camp, but courageously to set upon them, and manfully to try the matter by conflict, because the city and the sanctuary and the temple were in danger.

bes@2Macc:15:21 @ Maccabeus seeing the coming of the multitude, and the divers preparations of armour, and the fierceness of the beasts, stretched out his hands toward heaven, and called upon the Lord that worketh wonders, knowing that victory cometh not by arms, but even as it seemeth good to him, he giveth it to such as are worthy:

bes@2Macc:15:22 @ Therefore in his prayer he said after this manner; O Lord, thou didst send thine angel in the time of Ezekias king of Judea, and didst slay in the host of Sennacherib an hundred fourscore and five thousand:

bes@2Macc:15:23 @ Wherefore now also, O Lord of heaven, send a good angel before us for a fear and dread unto them;

bes@2Macc:15:24 @ And through the might of thine arm let those be stricken with terror, that come against thy holy people to blaspheme. And he ended thus.

bes@2Macc:15:27 @ So that fighting with their hands, and praying unto God with their hearts, they slew no less than thirty and five thousand men: for through the appearance of God they were greatly cheered.

bes@2Macc:15:30 @ And Judas, who was ever the chief defender of the citizens both in body and mind, and who continued his love toward his countrymen all his life, commanded to strike off Nicanor’s head, and his hand with his shoulder, and bring them to Jerusalem.

bes@2Macc:15:31 @ So when he was there, and called them of his nation together, and set the priests before the altar, he sent for them that were of the tower,

bes@2Macc:15:32 @ And shewed them vile Nicanor’s head, and the hand of that blasphemer, which with proud brags he had stretched out against the holy temple of the Almighty.

bes@2Macc:15:33 @ And when he had cut out the tongue of that ungodly Nicanor, he commanded that they should give it by pieces unto the fowls, and hang up the reward of his madness before the temple.

bes@2Macc:15:35 @ He hanged also Nicanor’s head upon the tower, an evident and manifest sign unto all of the help of the Lord.

bes@2Macc:15:36 @ And they ordained all with a common decree in no case to let that day pass without solemnity, but to celebrate the thirtieth day of the twelfth month, which in the Syrian tongue is called Adar, the day before Mardocheus’ day.

bes@2Macc:15:39 @ For as it is hurtful to drink wine or water alone; and as wine mingled with water is pleasant, and delighteth the taste: even so speech finely framed delighteth the ears of them that read the story. And here shall be an end.

bes@AddDaniel:1:1 @ Song of the Three Children -- And they walked in the midst of the fire, praising God, and blessing the Lord.

bes@AddDaniel:1:2 @ Then Azarias stood up, and prayed on this manner; and opening his mouth in the midst of the fire said,

bes@AddDaniel:1:2 @ Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers: thy name is worthy to be praised and glorified for evermore:

bes@AddDaniel:1:4 @ In all the things that thou hast brought upon us, and upon the holy city of our fathers, even Jerusalem, thou hast executed true judgement: for according to truth and judgement didst thou bring all these things upon us because of our sins.

bes@AddDaniel:1:8 @ And thou didst deliver us into the hands of lawless enemies, most hateful forsakers of God, and to an unjust king, and the most wicked in all the world.

bes@AddDaniel:1:12 @ To whom thou hast spoken and promised, that thou wouldest multiply their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that lieth upon the seashore.

bes@AddDaniel:1:13 @ For we, O Lord, are become less than any nation, and be kept under this day in all the world because of our sins.

bes@AddDaniel:1:16 @ Like as in the burnt offerings of rams and bullocks, and like as in ten thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be in thy sight this day, and grant that we may wholly go after thee: for they shall not be confounded that put their trust in thee.

bes@AddDaniel:1:18 @ Put us not to shame: but deal with us after thy lovingkindness, and according to the multitude of thy mercies.

bes@AddDaniel:1:25 @ But the angel of the Lord came down into the oven together with Azarias and his fellows, and smote the flame of the fire out of the oven;

bes@AddDaniel:1:26 @ And made the midst of the furnace as it had been a moist whistling wind, so that the fire touched them not at all, neither hurt nor troubled them.

bes@AddDaniel:1:27 @ Then the three, as out of one mouth, praised, glorified, and blessed, God in the furnace, saying,

bes@PrMan:1:3 @ who hast bound the sea by the word of thy commandment; who hast shut up the deep, and sealed it by thy terrible and glorious name;

bes@PrMan:1:5 @ for the majesty of thy glory cannot be borne, and thine angry threatening toward sinners is importable:

bes@PrMan:1:7 @ for thou art the most high Lord, of great compassion, longsuffering, very merciful, and repentest of the evils of men. Thou, O Lord, according to thy great goodness hast promised repentance and forgiveness to them that have sinned against thee: and of thine infinite mercies hast appointed repentance unto sinners, that they may be saved.

bes@PrMan:1:8 @ Thou therefore, O Lord, that art the God of the just, hast not appointed repentance to the just, as to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, which have not sinned against thee; but thou hast appointed repentance unto me that am a sinner:

bes@PrMan:1:9 @ for I have sinned above the number of the sands of the sea. My transgressions, O Lord, are multiplied: my transgressions are multiplied, and I am not worthy to behold and see the height of heaven for the multitude of mine iniquities.

bes@PrMan:1:11 @ Now therefore I bow the knee of mine heart, beseeching thee of grace.

bes@PrMan:1:13 @ wherefore, I humbly beseech thee, forgive me, O Lord, forgive me, and destroy me not with mine iniquities. Be not angry with me for ever, by reserving evil for me; neither condemn me to the lower parts of the earth. For thou art the God, even the God of them that repent;

bes@PrMan:1:15 @ Therefore I will praise thee for ever all the days of my life: for all the powers of the heavens do praise thee, and thine is the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

bes@3Macc:1:1 @ Now Philopater, on learning from those who came back that Antiochus had made himself master of the places which belonged to himself, sent orders to all his footmen and horsemen, took with him his sister Arsinoe, and marched out as far as the parts of Raphia, where Antiochus and his forces encamped.

bes@3Macc:1:2 @ And one Theodotus, intending to carry out his design, took with him the bravest of the armed men who had been before committed to his trust by Ptolemy, and got through at night to the tent of Ptolemy, to kill him on his own responsibility, and so to end the war.

bes@3Macc:1:3 @ But Dositheus, called the son of Drimulus, by birth a Jew, afterward a renegade from the laws and observances of his country, conveyed Ptolemy away, and made an obscure person lie down in his stead in the tent. It befell this man to receive the fate which was meant for the other.

bes@3Macc:1:4 @ A fierce battle then took place; and the men of Antiochus prevailing, Arsinoe continually went up and down the ranks, and with dishevelled hair, with tears and entreaties, begged the soldiers to fight manfully for themselves, their children, and wives; and promised that if they proved conquerors, she would give them two minae of gold apiece.

bes@3Macc:1:5 @ It thus fell out that their enemies were defeated in hand-to-hand encounter, and that many of them were taken prisoners.

bes@3Macc:1:8 @ The Jews sent some of their council and of their elders to him. The greetings, guest- gifts, and congratulations of the past, bestowed by them, filled him with the greater eagerness to visit their city.

bes@3Macc:1:9 @ Having arrived at Jerusalem, sacrificed, and offered thank-offerings to the Greatest God, and done whatever else was suitable to the sanctity of the place, and entered the inner court,

bes@3Macc:1:10 @ he was so struck with the magnificence of the place, and so wondered at the orderly arrangements of the temple, that he considered entering the sanctuary itself.

bes@3Macc:1:12 @ Then they read the law to him; but he persisted in obtruding himself, exclaiming, that he ought to be allowed: and saying Be it that they were deprived of this honour, I ought not to be.

bes@3Macc:1:13 @ And he put the question, Why, when he entered all the temples, none of the priests who were present forbad him?

bes@3Macc:1:14 @ He was thoroughly answered by some one, That he did wrong to boast of this.

bes@3Macc:1:16 @ And when the priests fell down in their sacred vestments imploring the Greatest God to come and help in time of need, and to avert the violence of the fierce aggressor, and when they filled the temple with lamentations and tears,

bes@3Macc:1:17 @ then those who had been left behind in the city were scared, and rushed forth, uncertain of the event.

bes@3Macc:2:3 @ It is thou, the Creator of all, the Lord of the universe, who art a righteous Governor, and judgest all who act with pride and insolence.

bes@3Macc:2:4 @ It was thou who didst destroy the former workers of unrighteousness, among whom were the giants, who trusted in their strength and hardihood, by covering them with a measureless flood.

bes@3Macc:2:5 @ It was thou who didst make the Sodomites, those workers of exceeding iniquity, men notorious for their vices, an example to after generations, when thou didst cover them with fire and brimstone.

bes@3Macc:2:6 @ Thou didst make known thy power when thou causedst the bold Pharaoh, the enslaver of thy people, to pass through the ordeal of many and diverse inflictions.

bes@3Macc:2:7 @ And thou rolledst the depths of the sea over him, when he made pursuit with chariots, and with a multitude of followers, and gavest a safe passage to those who put their trust in thee, the Lord of the whole creation.

bes@3Macc:2:8 @ These saw and felt the works of thine hands, and praised thee the Almighty.

bes@3Macc:2:9 @ Thou, O King, when thou createdst the illimitable and measureless earth, didst choose out this city: thou didst make this place sacred to thy name, albeit thou needest nothing: thou didst glorify it with thine illustrious presence, after constructing it to the glory of thy great and honourable name.

bes@3Macc:2:10 @ And thou didst promise, out of love to the people of Israel, that should we fall away from thee, and become afflicted, and then come to this house and pray, thou wouldest hear our prayer.

bes@3Macc:2:29 @ that those who were thus registered, were to be marked on their persons by the ivy-leaf symbol of Dionysus, and to be set apart with these limited rights.

bes@3Macc:2:30 @ To do away with the appearance of hating them all, he had it written underneath, that if any of them should elect to enter the community of those initiated in the rites, these should have equal rights with the Alexandrians.

bes@3Macc:2:31 @ Some of those who were over the city, therefore, abhorring any approach to the city of piety, unhesitatingly gave in to the king, and expected to derive some great honour from a future connection with him.

bes@3Macc:2:33 @ cheerfully looking forward to future aid, they abhorred their own apostates, considering them to be national foes, and debarring them from the common usages of social intercourse.

bes@3Macc:3:1 @ On discovering this, so incensed was the wicked king, that he no longer confined his rage to the Jews in Alexandria. Laying his hand more heavily upon those who lived in the country, he gave orders that they should be quickly collected into one place, and most cruelly deprived of their lives.

bes@3Macc:3:2 @ While this was going on, an invidious rumour was uttered abroad by men who had banded together to injure the Jewish race. The purport of their charge was, that the Jews kept them away from the ordinances of the law.

bes@3Macc:3:3 @ Now, while the Jews always maintained a feeling of un-swerving loyalty towards the kings, yet, as they worshipped God, and observed his law, they made certain distinctions, and avoided certain things. Hence some persons held them in odium; although, as they adorned their conversation with works of righteousness, they had established themselves in the good opinion of the world.

bes@3Macc:3:6 @ What all the rest of mankind said, was, however, made of no account by the foreigners;

bes@3Macc:3:7 @ who said much of the exclusiveness of the Jews with regard to their worship and meats; they alleged that they were men unsociable, hostile to the king's interests, refusing to associate with him or his troops. By this way of speaking, they brought much odium upon them.

bes@3Macc:3:8 @ Nor was this unexpected uproar and sudden conflux of people unobserved by the Greeks who lived in the city, concerning men who had never harmed them: yet to aid them was not in their power, since all was oppression around; but they encouraged them in their troubles, and expected a favourable turn of affairs:

bes@3Macc:3:10 @ Some of the neighbors, friends, and fellow dealers of the Jews, even called them secretly to an interview, pledged them their assistance, and promised to do their very utmost for them.

bes@3Macc:3:11 @ Now the king, elated with his prosperous fortune, and not regarding the superior power of God, but thinking to persevere in his present purpose, wrote the following letter to the prejudice of the Jews.

bes@3Macc:3:14 @ Since our Asiatic campaign, the particulars of which ye know, and which by the aid of the gods, not lightly given, and by our own vigour, has been brought to a successful issue according to our expectation,

bes@3Macc:3:15 @ we resolved, not with strength of spear, but with gentleness and much humanity, as it were to nurse the inhabitants of Coele-Syria and Phoenicia, and to be their willing benefactors.

bes@3Macc:3:16 @ So, having bestowed considerable sums of money upon the temples of the several cities, we proceeded even as far as Jerusalem; and went up to honour  the temple of these wretched beings who never cease from their folly.

bes@3Macc:3:18 @ they were so carried away by their old arrogance, as to forbid us the entrance; while we, out of our forbearance toward all men, refrained from exercising our power upon them.

bes@3Macc:3:20 @ We then, having endeavoured to make allowance for the madness of these persons, and on our victorious return treating all people in Egypt courteously, acted in a manner which was befitting.

bes@3Macc:3:21 @ Accordingly, bearing no ill-will against their kinsmen but rather remembering our connection with them, and the numerous matters with sincere heart from a remote period entrusted to them, we wished to venture a total alteration of their state, by bestowing upon them the rights of citizens of Alexandria, and to admit them to the everlasting rites of our solemnities.

bes@3Macc:3:23 @ have rejected the inestimable rights. Not only so, but by using speech, and by refraining from speech, they abhor the few among them who are heartily disposed towards us; ever deeming that their ignoble course of procedure will force us to do away with our reform.

bes@3Macc:3:24 @ Having then, received certain proofs that these bear us every sort of ill-will, we must look forward to the possibility of some sudden tumult among ourselves, when these impious men may turn traitors and barbarous enemies.

bes@3Macc:3:25 @ As soon, therefore, as the contents of this letter become known to you, in that same hour we order those who dwell among you, with wives and children, to be sent to us, vilified and abused, in chains of iron, to undergo a death, cruel and ignominious, suitable to men disaffected.

bes@3Macc:3:26 @ For by the punishment of them in one body we perceive that we have found the only means of establishing our affairs for the future on a firm and satisfactory basis.

bes@3Macc:3:28 @ Whoever shall inform against the besides receiving the property of the person charged, shall be presented with two thousand drachmae from the royal treasury, shall be made free, and shall be crowned.

bes@3Macc:3:29 @ Whatever place shall shelter a Jew, shall, when he is hunted forth, be put under the ban of fire, and be for ever rendered useless to every living being for all time to come.

bes@3Macc:3:30 @ Such was the purport of the king's letter.

bes@3Macc:4:1 @ Wherever this decree was received, the people kept up a revelry of joy and shouting; as if their long-pent-up, hardened hatred, were now to shew itself openly.

bes@3Macc:4:2 @ The Jews suffered great throes of sorrow, and wept much; while their hearts, all things around being lamentable, were set on fire as they bewailed the sudden destruction which was decreed against them.

bes@3Macc:4:4 @ They were sent out unanimously by the generals in the several cities, with such stern and pitiless feeling, that the exceptional nature of the infliction moved even some of their enemies. These, influenced by sentiments of common humanity, and reflecting upon the uncertain issue of life, shed tears at this their miserable expulsion.

bes@3Macc:4:5 @ A multitude of aged hoary-haired old men, were driven along with halting bending feet, urged onward by the impulse of a violent, shameless force to quick speed.

bes@3Macc:4:6 @ Girls who had entered the bridal chamber quite lately, to enjoy the partnership of marriage, exchanged pleasure for misery; and with dust scattered upon their myrrh-anointed heads, were hurried along unveiled; and, in the midst of outlandish insults, set up with one accord a lamentable cry in lieu of the marriage hymn.

bes@3Macc:4:8 @ The husbands of these, in the prime of their youthful vigour, instead of crowns wore halters round their necks; instead of feasting and youthful jollity, spent the rest of their nuptial days in wailings, and saw only the grave at hand.

bes@3Macc:4:9 @ They were dragged along by unyielding chains, like wild beasts: of these, some had their necks thrust into the benches of the rowers; while the feet of others were enclosed in hard fetters.

bes@3Macc:4:10 @ The planks of the deck above them barred out the light, and shut out the day on every side, so that they might be treated like traitors during the whole voyage.

bes@3Macc:4:11 @ They were conveyed accordingly in this vessel, and at the end of it arrived at Schedia. The king had ordered them to be cast into the vast hippodrome, which was built in front of the city. This place was well adapted by its situation to expose them to the gaze of all comers into the city, and of those who went from the city into the country. Thus they could hold no communication with his forces; nay, were deemed unworthy of any civilized accommodation.

bes@3Macc:4:12 @ When this was done, the king, hearing that their brethren in the city often went out and lamented the melancholy distress of these victims,

bes@3Macc:4:13 @ was full of rage, and commanded that they should be carefully subjected to the same (and not one whit milder) treatment.

bes@3Macc:4:14 @ The whole nation was now to be registered. Every individual was to be specified by name; not for that hard servitude of labour which we have a little before mentioned, but that he might expose them to the before-mentioned tortures; and finally, in the short space of a day, might extirpate them by his cruelties

bes@3Macc:4:15 @ The registering of these men was carried on cruelly, zealously, assiduously, from the rising of the sun to its going down, and was not brought to an end in forty days.

bes@3Macc:4:16 @ The king was filled with great and constant joy, and celebrated banquets before the temple idols. His erring heart, far from the truth, and his profane mouth, gave glory to idols, deaf and incapable of speaking or aiding, and uttered unworthy speech against the Greatest God.

bes@3Macc:4:17 @ At the end of the above-mentioned interval of time, the registrars brought word to the king that the multitude of the Jews was too great for registration,

bes@3Macc:4:18 @ inasmuch as there were many still left in the land, of whom some were in inhabited houses, and others were scattered about in various places; so that all the commanders in Egypt were insufficient for the work.

bes@3Macc:4:19 @ The king threatened them, and charged them with taking bribes, in order to contrive the escape of the Jews: but was clearly convinced of the truth of what had been said.

bes@3Macc:4:20 @ They said, and proved, that paper and pens had failed them for the carrying out of their purpose.

bes@3Macc:4:21 @ Now this was an active interference of the unconquerable Providence which assisted the Jews from heaven.

bes@3Macc:5:1 @ Then he called Hermon, who had charge of the elephants. Full of rage, altogether fixed in his furious design,

bes@3Macc:5:2 @ he commanded him, with a quantity of unmixed wine and handfuls of incense to drug the elephants early on the following day. These five hundred elephants were, when infuriated by the copious draughts of frankincense, to be led up to the execution of death upon the Jews.

bes@3Macc:5:3 @ The king, after issuing these orders, went to his feasting, and gathered together all those of his friends and of the army who hated the Jews the most.

bes@3Macc:5:4 @ The master of the elephants, Hermon, fulfilled his commission punctually.

bes@3Macc:5:5 @ The underlings appointed for the purpose went out about eventide and bound the hands of the miserable victims, and took other precautions for their security at night, thinking that the whole race would perish together.

bes@3Macc:5:6 @ The heathen believed the Jews to be destitute of all protection; for chains fettered them about.

bes@3Macc:5:7 @ they invoked the Almighty Lord, and ceaselessly besought with tears their merciful God and Father, Ruler of all, Lord of every power,

bes@3Macc:5:10 @ Then Hermon, who had filled his merciless elephants with copious draughts of mingled wine and frankincense, came early to the palace to certify the kind thereof.

bes@3Macc:5:12 @ By this sweet and profound influence of the Lord he was held fast, and thus his unjust purpose was quite frustrated, and his unflinching resolve greatly falsified.

bes@3Macc:5:13 @ But the Jews, having escaped the hour which had been fixed, praised their holy God, and again prayed him who is easily reconciled to display the power of his powerful hand to the overweening Gentiles.

bes@3Macc:5:14 @ The middle of the tenth hour had well nigh arrived, when the master-  bidder, seeing the guests who were bidden collected, came and shook the king.

bes@3Macc:5:17 @ This done, he asked them to enjoy themselves, and to indulge in mirth at this somewhat late hour of the banquet.

bes@3Macc:5:18 @ Conversation grew on, and the king sent for Hermon, and enquired of him, with fierce denunciations, why the Jews had been allowed to outlive that day.

bes@3Macc:5:20 @ The king, then, with a barbarity exceeding that of Phalaris, said, That they might thank his sleep of that day. Lose no time, and get ready the elephants against tomorrow, as you did before, for the destruction of these accursed Jews.

bes@3Macc:5:27 @ The king, receiving him, was astonished at his unwonted exit; and, overwhelmed with a spirit of oblivion about everything, enquired the object of this earnest preparation.

bes@3Macc:5:28 @ But this was the wroking of that Almighty God who had made him forget all his purpose.

bes@3Macc:5:29 @ Hermon, and all his friends, pointed out the preparation of the animals. they are ready, O king, according to your own strict injunction.

bes@3Macc:5:30 @ The king was filled with fierce anger at these words; for, by the Providence of God regarding these things, his mind had become entirely confused. He looked hard at Hermon, and threatened him as follows:

bes@3Macc:5:32 @ Had it not been for familar friendship, and the claims of your office, your life should have gone for theirs.

bes@3Macc:5:35 @ The Jews, having heard of these events, praised the glorious God and King of kings, because they had obtained this help, too, from him.

bes@3Macc:5:28 @ Once more, arm the elephants against the morrow for the extermination of the Jews.

bes@3Macc:5:40 @ O king, how long dost thou make trial of us, as of men bereft of reason? This is the third time that thou hast ordered their destruction. When the thing is to be done, thou changest thy mind, and recallest thy instructions.

bes@3Macc:5:41 @ For this cause the feeling of expectation causes tumult in the city: it swarms with factions; and is continually on the point of being plundered.

bes@3Macc:5:42 @ The king, just like another Phalaris, a prey to thoughtlessness, made no account of the changes which his own mind had undergone, issuing in the deliverance of the Jews. He swore a fruitless oath, and determined forthwith to send them to hades, crushed by the knees and feet of the elephants.

bes@3Macc:5:44 @ Joyfully his friends broke up, together with his kinsmen; and, trusting in his determination, arranged their forces in guard at the most convenient places of the city.

bes@3Macc:5:45 @ And the master of the elephants urged the beasts into an almost maniacal state, drenched them with incense and wine, and decked them with frightful instruments.

bes@3Macc:5:46 @ About early morning, when the city was now filled with an immense number of people at the hippodrome, he entered the palace, and called the king to the business in hand.

bes@3Macc:5:47 @ The king's heart teemed with impious rage; and he rushed forth with the mass, along with the elephants. With feelings unsoftened, and eyes pitiless, he longed to gaze at the hard and wretched doom of the abovementioned.

bes@3Macc:5:48 @ But the when the elephants went out at the gate, followed by the armed force; and when they saw the dust raised by the throng, and heard the loud cries of the crowd,

bes@3Macc:5:49 @ thought that they had come to the last moment of their lives, to the end of what they had tremblingly expected. They gave way, therefore, to lamentations and moans: they kissed each other: those nearest of kin to each other hung about one another's necks: fathers about their sons, mother their daughters: other women held their infants to their breasts, which drew what seemed their last milk.

bes@3Macc:5:51 @ sent up an exceeding great cry entreating the Lord of all power to reveal himself, and have mercy upon those who now lay at the gates of hades.

bes@3Macc:6:1 @ And Eleazar, an illustrious priest of the country, who had attained to length of day, and whose life had been adorned with virtue, caused the presbyters who were about him to cease to cry out to the holy God, and prayed thus:

bes@3Macc:6:3 @ look upon the seed of Abraham, upon the children of the sanctified Jacob, thy sanctified inheritance, O Father, now being wrongfully destroyed as strangers in a strange land.

bes@3Macc:6:4 @ Thou destroyedst Pharaoh, with his hosts of chariots, when that lord of this same Egypt was uplifted with lawless hardihood and loud-sounding tongue. Shedding the beams of thy mercy upon the race of Israel, thou didst overwhelm him with his proud army.

bes@3Macc:6:5 @ When Sennacherim, the grievous king of the Assyrians, glorying in his countless hosts, had subdued the whole land with his spear, and was lifting himself against thine holy city, with boastings grievous to be endured, thou, O Lord, didst demolish him and didst shew forth thy might to many nations.

bes@3Macc:6:6 @ When the three friends in the land of Babylon of their own will exposed their lives to the fire rather than serve vain things, thou didst send a dewy coolness through the fiery furnace, and bring the fire upon all their adversaries.

bes@3Macc:6:8 @ When Jonah was pining away in the belly of the sea-bred monster, thou didst look upon him, O Father, and recover him to the sight of his own.

bes@3Macc:6:9 @ And now, thou who hatest insolence; thou who dost abound in mercy; thou who art the protector of all things; appear quickly to those of the race of Israel, who are insulted by abhorred, lawless gentiles.

bes@3Macc:6:10 @ If our life has during our exile been stained with iniquity, deliver us from the hand of the enemy, and destroy us, O Lord, by the death which thou preferrest.

bes@3Macc:6:11 @ Let not the vain-minded congratulate vain idols at the destruction of thy beloved, saying, Neither did their god deliver them.

bes@3Macc:6:12 @ Thou, who art All-powerful and Almighty, O Eternal One, behold! have mercy upon us who are being withdrawn from life, like traitors, by the unreasoning insolence of lawless men.

bes@3Macc:6:13 @ Let the heathen cower before thine invincible might today, O glorious One, who hast all power to save the race of Jacob.

bes@3Macc:6:14 @ The whole band of infants and their parents with tears beseech thee.

bes@3Macc:6:15 @ Let it be shewn to all the nations that thou art with us, O Lord, and hast not turned thy face away from us; but as thou saidst that thou wouldst not forget them even in the land of their enemies, so do thou fulfil this saying, O Lord.

bes@3Macc:6:18 @ Then the all-glorious, all-powerful, and true God, displayed his holy countenance, and opened the gates of heaven, from which two angels, dreadful of form, came down and were visible to all but the Jews.

bes@3Macc:6:20 @ And a cold shudder came over the person of the king, and oblivion paralysed the vehemence of his spirit.

bes@3Macc:6:23 @ For when he heard the cry, and saw them all on the verge of destruction, with tears he angrily threatened his friends, saying,

bes@3Macc:6:24 @ Ye have governed badly; and have exceeded tyrants in cruelty; and me your benefactor ye have laboured to deprive at once of my dominion and my life, by secretly devising measures injurious to the kingdom.

bes@3Macc:6:25 @ Who has gathered here, unreasonably removing each from his home, those who, in fidelity to us, had held the fortresses of the country?

bes@3Macc:6:28 @ Release the sons of the almighty living God of heaven, who from our ancestors' times until now has granted a glorious and uninterrupted prosperity to our affairs.

bes@3Macc:6:30 @ The king then departed to the city, and called his financier to him, and bade him provide a seven days' quantity of wine and other materials for feasting for the Jews. He decided that they should keep a gladsome festival of deliverance in the very place in which they expected to meet with their destruction.

bes@3Macc:6:31 @ Then they who were before despised and nigh unto hades, yea, rather advanced into it, partook of the cup of salvation, instead of a grievous and lamentable death. Full of exultation, they parted out the place intended for their fall and burial into banqueting booths.

bes@3Macc:6:32 @ Ceasing their miserable strain of woe, they took up the subject of their fatherland, hymning in praise God their wonder-working Saviour. All groans, all wailing, were laid aside: they formed dances in token of serene joy.

bes@3Macc:6:33 @ So, also, the king collected a number of guests for the occasion, and returned unceasing thanks with much magnificence for the unexpected deliverance afforded him.

bes@3Macc:6:34 @ Those who had marked them out as for death and for carrion, and had registered them with joy, howled aloud, and were clothed with shame, and had the fire of their rage ingloriously put out.

bes@3Macc:6:36 @ They made a public ordinance to commemorate these things for generations to come, as long as they should be sojourners. They thus established these days as days of mirth, not for the purpose of drinking or luxury, but because God had saved them.

bes@3Macc:6:38 @ They were being enrolled from the twenty-fifth of Pachon to the fourth of Epiphi, a period of forty days: the measures taken for their destruction lasted from the fifth of Epiphi till the seventh, that is, three days.

bes@3Macc:6:41 @ The king commended them, and wrote the subjoined letter, of magnanimous import for them, to the commanders of every city.

bes@3Macc:7:3 @ Certain of our friends did of malice vehemently urge us to punish the Jews of our realm in a body, with the infliction of a monstrous punishment.

bes@3Macc:7:6 @ For this cause we severely threatened them; yet, with the clemency which we are wont to extend to all men, we at length permitted them to live. Finding that the God of heaven cast a shield of protection over the Jews so as to preserve them, and that he fought for them as a father always fights for his sons;

bes@3Macc:7:7 @ and taking into consideration their constancy and fidelity towards us and towards our ancestors, we have, as we ought, acquitted them of every sort of charge.

bes@3Macc:7:9 @ For know ye, that should we conceive any evil design, or in any way aggrieve them, we shall ever have as our opposite, not man, but the highest God, the ruler of all might. From Him there will be no escape, as the avenger of such deeds. Fare ye well.

bes@3Macc:7:10 @ When they had received this letter, they were not forward to depart immediately. They petitioned the king to be allowed to inflict fitting punishment upon those of their race who had willingly transgressed the holy god, and the law of God.

bes@3Macc:7:11 @ They alleged that men who had for their bellies' sake transgressed the ordinances of God, would never be faithful to the interests of the king.

bes@3Macc:7:12 @ The king admitted the truth of this reasoning, and commended them. Full power was given them, without warrant or special commission, to destroy those who had transgressed the law of God boldly in every part of the king's dominions.

bes@3Macc:7:15 @ slaying thus, in that day, above three hundred men, and esteeming this destruction of the wicked a season of joy.

bes@3Macc:7:16 @ They themselves having held fast their God unto death, and having enjoyed a full deliverance, departed from the city garlanded with sweet-flowered wreaths of every kind. Uttering exclamations of joy, with songs of praise, and melodious hymns they thanked the God of their fathers, the eternal Saviour of Israel.

bes@3Macc:7:17 @ Having arrived at Ptolemais, called from the specialty of that district Rose-bearing, where the fleet, in accordance with the general wish, waited for them seven days,

bes@3Macc:7:18 @ they partook of a banquet of deliverance, for the king generously granted them severally the means of securing a return home.

bes@3Macc:7:19 @ They were accordingly brought back in peace, while they gave utterance to becoming thanks; and they determined to keep these days during their sojourn as days of joyfulness.

bes@3Macc:7:20 @ These they registered as sacred upon a pillar, when they had dedicated the place of their festivity to be one of prayer. They departed unharmed, free, abundant in joy, preserved by the king's command, by land, by sea, and by river, each to his own home.

bes@3Macc:7:21 @ They had more weight than before among their enemies; and were honoured and feared, and no one in any way robbed them of their goods.

bes@3Macc:7:23 @ Blessed be the Redeemer of Israel unto everlasting. Amen.

bes@4Macc:1:1 @ As I am going to demonstrate a most philosophical proposition, namely, that religious reasoning is absolute master of the passions, I would willingly advise you to give the utmost heed to philosophy.

bes@4Macc:1:2 @ For reason is necessary to every one as a step to science: and more especially does it embrace the praise of prudence, the highest virtue.

bes@4Macc:1:3 @ If, then, reasoning appears to hold the mastery over the passions which stand in the way of temperance, such as gluttony and lust,

bes@4Macc:1:4 @ it surely also and manifestly has the rule over the affections which are contrary to justice, such as malice; and of those which are hindrances to manliness, as wrath, and pain, and fear.

bes@4Macc:1:5 @ How, then, is it, perhaps some may say, that reasoning, if it rule the affections, is not also master of forgetfulness and ignorance? They attempt a ridiculous argument.

bes@4Macc:1:7 @ I might prove to you, from may other considerations, that religious reasoning is sole master of the passions;

bes@4Macc:1:8 @ but I shall prove it with the greatest force from the fortitude of Eleazar, and seven brethren, and their mother, who suffered death in defence of virtue.

bes@4Macc:1:10 @ For their virtues, then, it is right that I should commend those men who died with their mother at this time in behalf of rectitude; and for their honours, I may count them happy.

bes@4Macc:1:11 @ For they, winning admiration not only from men in general, but even from the persecutors, for their manliness and endurance, became the means of the destruction of the tyranny against their nation, having conquered the tyrant by their endurance, so that by them their country was purified.

bes@4Macc:1:12 @ But we may now at once enter upon the question, having commenced, as is our wont, with laying down the doctrine, and so proceed to the account of these persons, giving glory to the all wise God.

bes@4Macc:1:13 @ The question, therefore, is, whether reasoning be absolute master of the passions.

bes@4Macc:1:14 @ Let us determine, then, What is reasoning? and what passion? and how many forms of the passions? and whether reasoning bears sway over all of these?

bes@4Macc:1:15 @ Reasoning is, then, intellect accompanied by a life of rectitude, putting foremost the consideration of wisdom.

bes@4Macc:1:16 @ And wisdom is a knowledge of divine and human things, and of their causes.

bes@4Macc:1:17 @ And this is contained in the education of the law; by means of which we learn divine things reverently, and human things profitably.

bes@4Macc:1:18 @ And the forms of wisdom are prudence, and justice, and manliness, and temperance.19 The leading one of these is prudence; by whose means, indeed, it is that reasoning bears rule over the passions.

bes@4Macc:1:20 @ Of the passions, pleasure and pain are the two most comprehensive; and they also by nature refer to the soul.

bes@4Macc:1:25 @ And there exists in pleasure a malicious disposition, which is the most multiform of all the affections.

bes@4Macc:1:26 @ In the soul it is arrogance, and love of money, and vaingloriousness, and contention, and faithlessness, and the evil eye.

bes@4Macc:1:28 @ As pleasure and pain are, therefore, two growth of the body and the soul, so there are many offshoots of these passions.

bes@4Macc:1:29 @ And reasoning, the universal husbandman, purging, and pruning these severally, and binding round, and watering, and transplanting, in every way improves the materials of the morals and affections.

bes@4Macc:1:30 @ For reasoning is the leader of the virtues, but it is the sole ruler of the passions. Observe then first, through the very things which stand in the way of temperance, that reasoning is absolute ruler of the passions.

bes@4Macc:1:31 @ Now temperance consists of a command over the lusts.

bes@4Macc:1:32 @ But of the lusts, some belong to the soul, others to the body: and over each of these classes the reasoning appears to bear sway.

bes@4Macc:1:34 @ Hence it is, then, that when lusting after water-animals and birds, and fourfooted beasts, and all kinds of food which are forbidden us by the law, we withhold ourselves through the mastery of reasoning.

bes@4Macc:1:35 @ For the affections of our appetites are resisted by the temperate understanding, and bent back again, and all the impulses of the body are reined in by reasoning.

bes@4Macc:2:1 @ And what wonder? if the lusts of the soul, after participation with what is beautiful, are frustrated,

bes@4Macc:2:2 @ on this ground, therefore, the temperate Joseph is praised in that by reasoning, he subdued, on reflection, the indulgence of sense.

bes@4Macc:2:3 @ For, although young, and ripe for sexual intercourse, he abrogated by reasoning the stimulus of his passions.

bes@4Macc:2:4 @ And it is not merely the stimulus of sensual indulgence, but that of every desire, that reasoning is able to master.

bes@4Macc:2:7 @ Since in what way is a solitary eater, and a glutton, and a drunkard reclaimed, unless it be clear that reasoning is lord of the passions?

bes@4Macc:2:8 @ A man, therefore, who regulates his course by the law, even if he be a lover of money, straightway puts force upon his own disposition; lending to the needy without interest, and cancelling the debt of the incoming sabbath.

bes@4Macc:2:12 @ And it lords it over the love of parents toward their children, for they punish them for vice; and it domineers over the intimacy of friends, reproving them when wicked.

bes@4Macc:2:13 @ And think it not a strange assertion that reasoning can in behalf of the law conquer even enmity.

bes@4Macc:2:14 @ It alloweth not to cut down the cultivated herbage of an enemy, but preserveth it from the destroyers, and collecteth their fallen ruins.

bes@4Macc:2:15 @ And reason appears to be master of the more violent passions, as love of empire and empty boasting, and slander.

bes@4Macc:2:19 @ For why, else, does our most wise father Jacob blame Simeon and Levi for having irrationally slain the whole race of the Shechemites, saying, Cursed be their anger.

bes@4Macc:2:20 @ For if reasoning did not possess the power of subduing angry affections, he would not have spoken thus.

bes@4Macc:2:22 @ And at that time He enthroned above all the holy leader mind, through the medium of the senses.

bes@4Macc:2:24 @ How, then, a man may say, if reasoning be master of the passions, has it no control over forgetfulness and ignorance?

bes@4Macc:3:1 @ The argument is exceedingly ridiculous: for reasoning does not appear to bear sway over its own affections, but over those of the body,

bes@4Macc:3:2 @ in such a way as that any one of you may not be able to root out desire, but reasoning will enable you to avoid being enslaved to it.

bes@4Macc:3:4 @ Any one of you may not be able to eradicate malice, but reasoning has force to work with you to prevent you yielding to malice.

bes@4Macc:3:5 @ For reasoning is not an eradicator, but an antagonist of the passions.

bes@4Macc:3:6 @ And this may be more clearly comprehended from the thirst of king David.

bes@4Macc:3:7 @ For after David had been attacking the Philistines the whole day, he with the soldiers of his nation slew many of them;

bes@4Macc:3:8 @ then when evening came, sweating and very weary, he came to the royal tent, about which the entire host of our ancestors was encamped.

bes@4Macc:3:9 @ Now all the rest of them were at supper;

bes@4Macc:3:12 @ Wherefore his body-guards being troubled at this longing of the king, two valiant young soldiers, reverencing the desire of the king, put on their panoplies, and taking a pitcher, got over the ramparts of the enemies:

bes@4Macc:3:13 @ and unperceived by the guardians of the gate, they went throughout the whole camp of the enemy in quest.

bes@4Macc:3:14 @ And having boldly discovered the fountain, they filled out of it the draught for the king.

bes@4Macc:3:15 @ But he, though parched with thirst, reasoned that a draught reputed of equal value to blood, would be terribly dangerous to his soul.

bes@4Macc:3:17 @ For the temperate mind has power to conquer the pressure of the passions, and to quench the fires of excitement,

bes@4Macc:3:18 @ and to wrestle down the pains of the body, however excessive; and, through the excellency of reasoning, to abominate all the assaults of the passions.

bes@4Macc:3:19 @ But the occasion now invites us to give an illustration of temperate reasoning from history.

bes@4Macc:3:20 @ For at a time when our fathers were in possession of undisturbed peace through obedience to the law, and were prosperous, so that Seleucus Nicanor, the king of Asia, both assigned them money for divine service, and accepted their form of government,

bes@4Macc:4:1 @ For a certain man named Simon, who was in opposition to Onias, who once held the high priesthood for life, and was an honourable and good man, after that by slandering him in every way, he could not injure him with the people, went away as an exile, with the intention of betraying his country.

bes@4Macc:4:2 @ Whence coming to Apollonius, the military governor of Syria, and Phoenicia, and Cilicia, he said,

bes@4Macc:4:3 @ Having good will to the king's affairs, I am come to inform thee that infinite private wealth is laid up in the treasuries of Jerusalem which do not belong to the temple, but pertain to king Seleucus.

bes@4Macc:4:4 @ Apollonius, acquainting himself with the particulars of this, praised Simon for his care of the king's interests, and going up to Seleucus informed him of the treasure;

bes@4Macc:4:6 @ he said that he came with the commands of the king that he should take the private money of the treasure.

bes@4Macc:4:7 @ And the nation, indignant at this proclamation, and replying to the effect that it was extremely unfair that those who had committed deposits to the sacred treasury should be deprived of them, resisted as well as they could.

bes@4Macc:4:10 @ and Appolonius going up with his armed force to the seizure of the treasure,--there appeared from heaven angels riding on horseback, all radiant in armour, filling them with much fear and trembling.

bes@4Macc:4:12 @ For he said that he had sinned, so as to be consequently worthy of death; and that if he were saved, he would celebrate to all men the blessedness of the holy place.

bes@4Macc:4:15 @ But on the death of Seleucus the king, his son Antiochus Epiphanes succeeds to the kingdom: a man of haughty pride and terrible.

bes@4Macc:4:19 @ And he both changed the manner of living of the people, and perverted their civil customs into all lawlessness.

bes@4Macc:4:20 @ So that he not only erected a gymnasium on the very citadel of our country, the guardianship of the temple.

bes@4Macc:4:22 @ For being at war with Ptolemy in Egypt, he heard that on a report of his death being spread abroad, the inhabitants of Jerusalem had exceedingly rejoiced, and he quickly marched against them.

bes@4Macc:4:23 @ And having subdued them, he established a decree that if any of them lived according to the laws of his country he should die.

bes@4Macc:4:24 @ And when he could by no means destroy by his decrees the obedience to the law of the nation, but saw all his threats and punishments without effect,

bes@4Macc:4:25 @ for even women, because they continued to circumcise their children, were flung down a precipice along with them, knowing beforehand of the punishment.

bes@4Macc:4:26 @ When, therefore, his decrees were disregarded by the people, he himself compelled by means of tortures every one of this race, by tasting forbidden meats, to abjure the Jewish religion.

bes@4Macc:5:1 @ The tyrant Antiochus, therefore, sitting in public state with his assessors upon a certain lofty place, with his armed troops standing in a circle around him, commanded his spearbearers to seize every one of the Hebrews, and to compel them to taste swine's flesh, and things offered to idols.

bes@4Macc:5:3 @ And should any of them be unwilling to eat the accursed food, they were to be tortured on the wheel, and so killed.

bes@4Macc:5:4 @ And when many had been seized, a foremost man of the assembly, a Hebrew, by name Eleazar, a priest by family, by profession a lawyer, and advanced in years, and for this reason known to many of the king's followers, was brought near to him.

bes@4Macc:5:6 @ I would counsel thee, old man, before thy tortures begin, to tasted the swine's flesh, and save your life; for I feel respect for your age and hoary head, which since you have had so long, you appear to me to be no philosopher in retaining the superstition of the Jews.

bes@4Macc:5:7 @ For wherefore, since nature has conferred upon you the most excellent flesh of this animal, do you loathe it?

bes@4Macc:5:8 @ It seems senseless not to enjoy what is pleasant, yet not disgraceful; and from notions of sinfulness, to reject the boons of nature.

bes@4Macc:5:11 @ Will you not awake from your trifling philosophy? and give up the folly of your notions; and, regaining understanding worthy of your age, search into the truth of an expedient course?

bes@4Macc:5:13 @ For, bear in mind, that if there be any power which watches over this religion of yours, it will pardon you for all transgressions of the law which you commit through compulsion.

bes@4Macc:5:14 @ While the tyrant incited him in this manner to the unlawful eating of flesh, Eleazar begged permission to speak.

bes@4Macc:5:18 @ And indeed, were our law (as you suppose) not truly divine, and if we wrongly think it divine, we should have no right even in that case to destroy our sense of religion.

bes@4Macc:5:20 @ For transgression of the law, whether in small or great matters, is of equal moment;

bes@4Macc:5:25 @ Wherefore it is that we eat not the unclean; for believing that the law was established by God, we are convinced that the Creator of the world, in giving his laws, sympathises with our nature.

bes@4Macc:5:28 @ but thou shalt not have this cause of laughter against me;

bes@4Macc:5:29 @ nor will I transgress the sacred oaths of my forefathers to keep the law.

bes@4Macc:5:31 @ I am not so old, and void of manliness, but that my rational powers are youthful in defence of my religion.

bes@4Macc:5:33 @ I will not so compassionate my old age, as on my account to break the law of my country.

bes@4Macc:5:35 @ I will not put thee to shame, O philosopher Reason; or deny thee, O honoured priesthood, and science of the law.

bes@4Macc:5:36 @ Mouth! thou shalt not pollute my old age, nor the full stature of a perfect life.

bes@4Macc:6:1 @ When Eleazar had in this manner answered the exhortations of the tyrant, the spearbearers came up, and rudely haled Eleazar to the instruments of torture.

bes@4Macc:6:2 @ And first, they stripped the old man, adorned as he was with the comeliness of piety.

bes@4Macc:6:4 @ a herald opposite crying out, Obey the commands of the king.

bes@4Macc:6:8 @ then one of the harsh spearbearers leaped upon his belly as he was falling, to force him upright.

bes@4Macc:6:13 @ partly from the sympathy of acquaintance, and partly in admiration of his endurance, some of the attendants of the king said, Why do you unreasonably destroy yourself, O Eleazar, with these miseries?

bes@4Macc:6:17 @ Let not us who are children of Abraham be so evil advised as by giving way to make use of an unbecoming pretence;

bes@4Macc:6:19 @ and ourselves should become a pattern of impiety to the young, as being an example of pollution eating.

bes@4Macc:6:22 @ Wherefore do you, O children of Abraham, die nobly for your religion.

bes@4Macc:6:23 @ Ye spearbearers of the tyrant, why do ye linger?

bes@4Macc:6:27 @ Thou knowest, O God, that when I might have been saved, I am slain for the sake of the law by tortures of fire.

bes@4Macc:6:28 @ Be merciful to thy people, and be satisfied with the punishment of me on their account.

bes@4Macc:6:30 @ Thus speaking, the holy man departed, noble in his torments, and even to the agonies of death resisted in his reasoning for the sake of the law.

bes@4Macc:6:31 @ Confessedly, therefore, religious reasoning is master of the passions.

bes@4Macc:6:32 @ For had the passions been superior to reasoning, I would have given them the witness of this mastery.

bes@4Macc:6:33 @ But now, since reasoning conquered the passions, we befittingly awared it the authority of first place.

bes@4Macc:7:1 @ The reasoning of our father Eleazar, like a first-rate pilot, steering the vessel of piety in the sea of passions,

bes@4Macc:7:2 @ and flouted by the threats of the tyrant, and overwhelmed with the breakers of torture,

bes@4Macc:7:3 @ in no way shifted the rudder of piety till it sailed into the harbour of victory over death.

bes@4Macc:7:4 @ Not so has ever a city, when besieged, held out against many and various machines, as did that holy man, when his pious soul was tried with the fiery trial of tortures and rackings, move his besiegers through the religious reasoning that shielded him.

bes@4Macc:7:5 @ For father Eleazar, projecting his disposition, broke the raging wabves of the passions as with a jutting promontory.

bes@4Macc:7:6 @ O priest worthy of the priesthood! thou didst not pollute thy sacred teeth; nor make thine appetite, which had always embraced the clean and lawful, a partaker of profanity.

bes@4Macc:7:8 @ Of such a character ought those to be who perform the duties of the law at the risk of their own blood, and defend it with generous sweat by sufferings even unto death.

bes@4Macc:7:9 @ Thou, father, hast gloriously established our right government by thy endurance; and making of much account our service past, prevented its destruction, and, by thy deeds, hast made credible the words of philosophy.

bes@4Macc:7:10 @ O aged man of more power than tortures, elder more vigorous than fire, greatest king over the passions, Eleazar!

bes@4Macc:7:12 @ so, Eleazar, the descendant of Aaron, wasted away by the fire, did not give up his reasoning.

bes@4Macc:7:13 @ And, what is most wonderful, though an old man, though the labours of his body were now spent, and his fibres were relaxed, and his sinews worn out, he recovered youth.

bes@4Macc:7:14 @ By the spirit of reasoning, and the reasoning of Isaac, he rendered powerless the many-headed instrument.

bes@4Macc:7:15 @ O blessed old age, and reverend hoar head, and life obedient to the law, which the faithful seal of death perfected.

bes@4Macc:7:16 @ If, then, an old man, through religion, despised tortures even unto death, confessedly religious reasoning is ruler of the passions.

bes@4Macc:7:18 @ But they who have meditated upon religion with their whole heart, these alone can master the passions of the flesh;

bes@4Macc:7:21 @ since what person, walking religiously by the whole rule of philosophy, and believing in God,

bes@4Macc:7:22 @ and knowing that it is a blessed thing to endure all kinds of hardships for virture, would not, for the sake of religion, master his passion?

bes@4Macc:7:24 @ Whence it is, that even boys, imbued with the philosophy of religious reasoning, have conquered still more bitter tortures:

bes@4Macc:8:1 @ Then, indeed, vehemently swayed with passion, he commanded to bring others of the adult Hebrews, and if they would eat of the unclean thing, to let them go when they had eaten; but if they objected, to torment them more grievously.

bes@4Macc:8:4 @ O youths, with favourable feelings, I admire the beauty of each of you; and greatly honouring so numerous a band of brethren, I not only counsel you not to share the madness of the old man who has been tortured before,

bes@4Macc:8:5 @ but I do beg you to yield, and to enjoy my friendship; for I possess the power, not only of punishing those who disobey my commands, but of doing good to those who obey them.

bes@4Macc:8:6 @ Put confidence in me, then, and you shall receive places of authority in my government, if you forsake your national ordinance,

bes@4Macc:8:7 @ and, conforming to the Greek mode of life, alter your rule, and revel in youth's delights.

bes@4Macc:8:11 @ Thus speaking, he ordered the instruments of torture to be brought forward, that very fear might prevail upon them to eat unclean meat.

bes@4Macc:8:14 @ Now they having listened to these words of persuasion, and seeing the fearful instruments, not only were not afraid, but even answered the arguments of the tyrant, and through their good reasoning destroyed his power.

bes@4Macc:8:15 @ Now let us consider the matter: had any of them been weak-spirited and cowardly among them, what reasonings would they have employed but these?

bes@4Macc:8:18 @ Shall we not fear, O brethren, the instruments of torture and weigh the threatenings of torment and shun this vain-glory and destructive pride?

bes@4Macc:8:19 @ Let us have compassion upon our age and relent over the years of our mother.

bes@4Macc:8:22 @ Why withdraw ourselves from a most sweet life, and deprive ourselves of this pleasant world?

bes@4Macc:8:26 @ But nothing of this kind did the young men say or think when about to be tortured.

bes@4Macc:8:27 @ For they were well aware of the sufferings, and masters of the pains. So that as soon as the tyrant had ceased counselling them to eat the unclean, they altogether with one voice, as from the same heart said:

bes@4Macc:9:1 @ Why delayest thou, O tyrant? for we are readier to die than to transgress the injunctions of our fathers.

bes@4Macc:9:3 @ O tyrant, counsellor of law-breaking, do not, hating us as thou dost, pity us more than we pity ourselves.

bes@4Macc:9:5 @ And you think to scare us, by threatening us with death by tortures, as though thou hadst learned nothing by the death of Eleazar.

bes@4Macc:9:6 @ But if aged men of the Hebrews have died in the cause of religion after enduring torture, more rightly should we younger men die, scorning your cruel tortures, which our aged instructor overcame.

bes@4Macc:9:8 @ For we through this ill-treatment and endurance shall bear off the rewards of virtue.

bes@4Macc:9:9 @ But thou, for the wicked and despotic slaughter of us, shalt, from the Divine vengeance, endure eternal torture by fire.

bes@4Macc:9:11 @ So that, at his bidding, the torturers brought forth the eldest of them, and tearing through his tunic, bound his hands and arms on each side with thongs.

bes@4Macc:9:15 @ O most accursed tyrant, and enemy of heavenly justice, and cruel-hearted, I am no murderer, nor sacrilegious man, whom thou thus ill-usest; but a defender of the Divine law.

bes@4Macc:9:18 @ For through all my torments I will convince you that the children of the Hebrews are alone unconquered in behalf of virtue.

bes@4Macc:9:20 @ And the wheel was defiled all over with blood, and the hot ashes were quenched by the droppings of gore, and pieces of flesh were scattered about the axles of the machine.

bes@4Macc:9:21 @ And although the framework of his bones was now destroyed the high-minded and Abrahamic youth did not groan.

bes@4Macc:9:23 @ Imitate me, O brethren, nor ever desert your station, nor abjure my brotherhood in courage: fight the holy and honourable fight of religion;

bes@4Macc:9:26 @ And when all admired his courageous soul, the spearmen brought forward him who was second in point of age, and having put on iron hands, bound him with pointed hooks to the catapelt.

bes@4Macc:9:28 @ after they with the iron hands had violently dragged all the flesh from the neck to the chin, the panther-like beasts tore off the very skin of his head: but he, bearing with firmness this misery, said,

bes@4Macc:9:29 @ How sweet is every form of death for the religion of our fathers! and he said to the tyrant,

bes@4Macc:9:30 @ Thinkest thou not, most cruel of all tyrants, that thou art now tortured more than I, finding thine overweening conception of tyranny conquered by our patience in behalf of our religion?

bes@4Macc:9:32 @ But thou art tortured with threatenings for impiety; and thou shalt not escape, most corrupt tyrant, the vengeance of Divine wrath.

bes@4Macc:10:2 @ But he cried out and said, Know ye not, that the father of those who are dead, begat me also; and that the same mother bare me; and that I was brought up in the same tenets?

bes@4Macc:10:3 @ I abjure not the noble relationship of my brethren.

bes@4Macc:10:4 @ Now then, whatever instrument of vengeance ye have, apply it to my body, for ye are not able to touch, even if ye wish it, my soul.

bes@4Macc:10:5 @ But they, highly incensed at his boldness of speech, dislocated his hands and feet with racking engines, and wrenching them from their sockets, dismembered him.

bes@4Macc:10:7 @ And not being able by any means to strangle him, they tore off his skin, together with the extreme tips of his fingers, flayed him, and then haled him to the wheel;

bes@4Macc:10:8 @ around which his vertebral joints were loosened, and he saw his own flesh torn to shreds, and streams of blood flowing from his entrails.

bes@4Macc:10:10 @ We, O accursed tyrant, suffer this for the sake of Divine education and virtue.

bes@4Macc:10:12 @ And thus having died worthily of his brethren, they dragged forward the fourth, saying,

bes@4Macc:10:13 @ Do not thou share the madness of thy brethren: but give regard to the king, and save thyself.

bes@4Macc:10:15 @ By the blessed death of my brethren, and the eternal punishment of the tyrant, and the glorious life of the pious, I will not repudiate the noble brotherhood.

bes@4Macc:10:16 @ Invent, O tyrant, tortures; that you may learn, even through them, that I am the brother of those tormented before.

bes@4Macc:10:18 @ But he said, Even if you take away the organ of speech, yet God hears the silent.

bes@4Macc:10:20 @ Gladly do we lose our limbs in behalf of God.

bes@4Macc:10:21 @ But God shall speedly find you, since you cut off the tongue, the instrument of divine melody.

bes@4Macc:11:2 @ I intend not, O tyrant, to get excused from the torment which is in behalf of virtue.

bes@4Macc:13:5 @ How, then, can we avoid according to these men mastery of passion through right reasoning, since they drew not back from the pains of fire?

bes@4Macc:15:16 @ O thou mother, who wast tried at this time with bitterer pangs than those of parturition!

bes@4Macc:15:19 @ Nor when thou didst behold the eyes of each of them looking sternly upon their tortures, and their nostrils foreboding death, didst thou weep!

bes@4Macc:15:20 @ When thou didst see children's flesh heaped upon children's flesh that had been torn off, heads decapitated upon heads, dead falling upon the dead, and a choir of children turned through torture into a burying ground, thou lamentedst not.

bes@4Macc:15:32 @ so thou, the guardian of the law, when surrounded on every side by the flood of passions, and straitened by violent storms which were the torments of they children, didst bear up nobly against the storms against religion.

bes@4Macc:16:7 @ O seven useless childbirths, and seven profitless periods of labour, and fruitless givings of suck, and miserable nursings at the breast.

bes@4Macc:16:8 @ Vainly, for your sakes, O sons, have I endured many pangs, and the more difficult anxieties of rearing.

bes@4Macc:16:9 @ Alas, of my children, some of you unmarried, and some who have married to no profit, I shall not see your children, nor be felicitated as a grandmother.

bes@4Macc:16:10 @ Ah, that I who had many and fair children, should be a lone widow full of sorrows!

bes@4Macc:16:11 @ Nor, should I die, shall I have a son to bury me. But with such a lament is this the holy and God-fearing mother bewailed none of them.

bes@4Macc:16:13 @ But as one possessed with an adamantine mind, and as one bringing forth again her full number of sons to immortality, she rather with supplication exhorted them to death in behalf of religion.

bes@4Macc:16:14 @ O woman, soldier of God for religion, thou, aged and a female, hast conquered through endurance even a tyrant; and though but weak, hast been found more powerful in deeds and words.

bes@4Macc:16:16 @ O sons, noble is the contest; to which you being called as a witness for the nation, strive zealously for the laws of your country.

bes@4Macc:16:17 @ For it were disgraceful that this old man should endure pains for the sake of righteousness, and that you who are younger should be afraid of the tortures.

bes@4Macc:16:19 @ And on this second account ye ought to bear every affliction because of God.

bes@4Macc:16:20 @ For whom also our father Abraham was forward to sacrifice Isaac our progenitor, and shuddered not at the sight of his own paternal hand descending down with the sword upon him.

bes@4Macc:16:21 @ And the righteous Daniel was cast unto the lions; and Ananias, and Azarias, and Misael, were slung out into a furnace of fire; yet they endured through God.

bes@4Macc:16:24 @ With these arguments, the mother of seven, exhorting each of her sons, over-persuaded them from transgressing the commandment of God.

bes@4Macc:17:1 @ And some of the spearbearers said, that when she herself was about to be seized for the purpose of being put to death, she threw herself upon the pile, rather than they should touch her person.

bes@4Macc:17:2 @ O thou mother, who together with seven children didst destroy the violence of the tyrant, and render void his wicked intentions, and exhibit the nobleness of faith!

bes@4Macc:17:3 @ For thou, as an house bravely built upon the pillar of thy children, didst bear without swaying, the shock of tortures.

bes@4Macc:17:4 @ Be of good cheer, therefore, O holy-minded mother! holding the firm hope of your steadfastness with God.

bes@4Macc:17:6 @ For thy bearing of children was after the fashion of a child of Abraham.

bes@4Macc:17:7 @ And, were it lawful for us to paint as on a tablet the religion of thy story, the spectators would not shudder at beholding the mother of seven children enduring for the sake of religion various tortures even unto death.

bes@4Macc:17:16 @ Who did not admire those champions of true legislation? who were not astonied?

bes@1Esd:1:15 @ The holy singers also, the sons of Asaph, were in their order, according to the appointment of David, to wit, Asaph, Zacharias, and Jeduthun, who was of the king’s retinue.

bes@1Esd:2:16 @ But in the time of Artaxerxes king of the Persians Belemus, and Mithridates, and Tabellius, and Rathumus, and Beeltethmus, and Semellius the secretary, with others that were in commission with them, dwelling in Samaria and other places, wrote unto him against them that dwelt in Judea and Jerusalem these letters following;

bes@1Esd:2:17 @ To king Artaxerxes our lord, Thy servants, Rathumus the storywriter, and Semellius the scribe, and the rest of their council, and the judges that are in Celosyria and Phenice.

bes@1Esd:2:18 @ Be it now known to the lord king, that the Jews that are up from you to us, being come into Jerusalem, that rebellious and wicked city, do build the marketplaces, and repair the walls of it and do lay the foundation of the temple.

bes@1Esd:2:21 @ But to speak unto our lord the king, to the intent that, if it be thy pleasure it may be sought out in the books of thy fathers:

bes@1Esd:2:29 @ And that those wicked workers proceed no further to the annoyance of kings,

bes@1Esd:2:30 @ Then king Artaxerxes his letters being read, Rathumus, and Semellius the scribe, and the rest that were in commission with them, removing in haste toward Jerusalem with a troop of horsemen and a multitude of people in battle array, began to hinder the builders; and the building of the temple in Jerusalem ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of the Persians.

bes@1Esd:3:1 @ Now when Darius reigned, he made a great feast unto all his subjects, and unto all his household, and unto all the princes of Media and Persia,

bes@1Esd:3:2 @ And to all the governors and captains and lieutenants that were under him, from India unto Ethiopia, of an hundred twenty and seven provinces.

bes@1Esd:3:4 @ Then three young men, that were of the guard that kept the king’s body, spake one to another;

bes@1Esd:3:5 @ Let every one of us speak a sentence: he that shall overcome, and whose sentence shall seem wiser than the others, unto him shall the king Darius give great gifts, and great things in token of victory:

bes@1Esd:3:6 @ As, to be clothed in purple, to drink in gold, and to sleep upon gold, and a chariot with bridles of gold, and an headtire of fine linen, and a chain about his neck:

bes@1Esd:3:7 @ And he shall sit next to Darius because of his wisdom, and shall be called Darius his cousin.

bes@1Esd:3:9 @ And said that, when the king is risen, some will give him the writings; and of whose side the king and the three princes of Persia shall judge that his sentence is the wisest, to him shall the victory be given, as was appointed.

bes@1Esd:3:14 @ And sending forth he called all the princes of Persia and Media, and the governors, and the captains, and the lieutenants, and the chief officers;

bes@1Esd:3:15 @ And sat him down in the royal seat of judgement; and the writings were read before them.

bes@1Esd:3:17 @ And he said unto them, Declare unto us your mind concerning the writings. Then began the first, who had spoken of the strength of wine;

bes@1Esd:3:19 @ It maketh the mind of the king and of the fatherless child to be all one; of the bondman and of the freeman, of the poor man and of the rich:

bes@1Esd:4:1 @ Then the second, that had spoken of the strength of the king, began to say,

bes@1Esd:4:3 @ But yet the king is more mighty: for he is lord of all these things, and hath dominion over them; and whatsoever he commandeth them they do.

bes@1Esd:4:13 @ Then the third, who had spoken of women, and of the truth, (this was Zorobabel) began to speak.

bes@1Esd:4:14 @ O ye men, it is not the great king, nor the multitude of men, neither is it wine, that excelleth; who is it then that ruleth them, or hath the lordship over them? are they not women?

bes@1Esd:4:16 @ Even of them came they: and they nourished them up that planted the vineyards, from whence the wine cometh.

bes@1Esd:4:26 @ Yea, many there be that have run out of their wits for women, and become servants for their sakes.

bes@1Esd:4:29 @ Yet did I see him and Apame the king’s concubine, the daughter of the admirable Bartacus, sitting at the right hand of the king,

bes@1Esd:4:33 @ Then the king and the princes looked one upon another: so he began to speak of the truth.

bes@1Esd:4:37 @ Wine is wicked, the king is wicked, women are wicked, all the children of men are wicked, and such are all their wicked works; and there is no truth in them; in their unrighteousness also they shall perish.

bes@1Esd:4:39 @ With her there is no accepting of persons or rewards; but she doeth the things that are just, and refraineth from all unjust and wicked things; and all men do well like of her works.

bes@1Esd:4:40 @ Neither in her judgement is any unrighteousness; and she is the strength, kingdom, power, and majesty, of all ages. Blessed be the God of truth.

bes@1Esd:4:44 @ And to send away all the vessels that were taken away out of Jerusalem, which Cyrus set apart, when he vowed to destroy Babylon, and to send them again thither.

bes@1Esd:4:46 @ And now, O lord the king, this is that which I require, and which I desire of thee, and this is the princely liberality proceeding from thyself: I desire therefore that thou make good the vow, the performance whereof with thine own mouth thou hast vowed to the King of heaven.

bes@1Esd:4:49 @ Moreover he wrote for all the Jews that went out of his realm up into Jewry, concerning their freedom, that no officer, no ruler, no lieutenant, nor treasurer, should forcibly enter into their doors;

bes@1Esd:4:50 @ And that all the country which they hold should be free without tribute; and that the Edomites should give over the villages of the Jews which then they held:

bes@1Esd:4:51 @ Yea, that there should be yearly given twenty talents to the building of the temple, until the time that it were built;

bes@1Esd:4:55 @ And likewise for the charges of the Levites, to be given them until the day that the house were finished, and Jerusalem builded up.

bes@1Esd:4:58 @ Now when this young man was gone forth, he lifted up his face to heaven toward Jerusalem, and praised the King of heaven,

bes@1Esd:4:60 @ Blessed art thou, who hast given me wisdom: for to thee I give thanks, O Lord of our fathers.

bes@1Esd:5:55 @ Unto them of Zidon also and Tyre they gave carrs, that they should bring cedar trees from Libanus, which should be brought by floats to the haven of Joppa, according as it was commanded them by Cyrus king of the Persians.

bes@1Esd:5:56 @ And in the second year and second month after his coming to the temple of God at Jerusalem began Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec, and their brethren, and the priests, and the Levites, and all they that were come unto Jerusalem out of the captivity:

bes@1Esd:5:57 @ And they laid the foundation of the house of God in the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come to Jewry and Jerusalem.

bes@1Esd:5:59 @ And the priests stood arrayed in their vestments with musical instruments and trumpets; and the Levites the sons of Asaph had cymbals,

bes@1Esd:5:60 @ Singing songs of thanksgiving, and praising the Lord, according as David the king of Israel had ordained.

bes@1Esd:5:61 @ And they sung with loud voices songs to the praise of the Lord, because his mercy and glory is for ever in all Israel.

bes@1Esd:5:62 @ And all the people sounded trumpets, and shouted with a loud voice, singing songs of thanksgiving unto the Lord for the rearing up of the house of the Lord.

bes@1Esd:5:63 @ Also of the priests and Levites, and of the chief of their families, the ancients who had seen the former house came to the building of this with weeping and great crying.

bes@1Esd:5:65 @ Insomuch that the trumpets might not be heard for the weeping of the people: yet the multitude sounded marvellously, so that it was heard afar off.

bes@1Esd:5:66 @ Wherefore when the enemies of the tribe of Judah and Benjamin heard it, they came to know what that noise of trumpets should mean.

bes@1Esd:5:67 @ And they perceived that they that were of the captivity did build the temple unto the Lord God of Israel.

bes@1Esd:5:68 @ So they went to Zorobabel and Jesus, and to the chief of the families, and said unto them, We will build together with you.

bes@1Esd:5:69 @ For we likewise, as ye, do obey your Lord, and do sacrifice unto him from the days of Azbazareth the king of the Assyrians, who brought us hither.

bes@1Esd:5:70 @ Then Zorobabel and Jesus and the chief of the families of Israel said unto them, It is not for us and you to build together an house unto the Lord our God.

bes@1Esd:5:71 @ We ourselves alone will build unto the Lord of Israel, according as Cyrus the king of the Persians hath commanded us.

bes@1Esd:5:72 @ But the heathen of the land lying heavy upon the inhabitants of Judea, and holding them strait, hindered their building;

bes@1Esd:5:73 @ And by their secret plots, and popular persuasions and commotions, they hindered the finishing of the building all the time that king Cyrus lived: so they were hindered from building for the space of two years, until the reign of Darius.

bes@1Esd:6:1 @ Now in the second year of the reign of Darius Aggeus and Zacharias the son of Addo, the prophets, prophesied unto the Jews in Jewry and Jerusalem in the name of the Lord God of Israel, which was upon them.

bes@1Esd:6:2 @ Then stood up Zorobabel the son of Salatiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec, and began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, the prophets of the Lord being with them, and helping them.

bes@1Esd:6:3 @ At the same time came unto them Sisinnes the governor of Syria and Phenice, with Sathrabuzanes and his companions, and said unto them,

bes@1Esd:6:5 @ Nevertheless the elders of the Jews obtained favour, because the Lord had visited the captivity;

bes@1Esd:6:7 @ The copy of the letters which Sisinnes, governor of Syria and Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, with their companions, rulers in Syria and Phenice, wrote and sent unto Darius; To king Darius, greeting:

bes@1Esd:6:8 @ Let all things be known unto our lord the king, that being come into the country of Judea, and entered into the city of Jerusalem we found in the city of Jerusalem the ancients of the Jews that were of the captivity

bes@1Esd:6:9 @ Building an house unto the Lord, great and new, of hewn and costly stones, and the timber already laid upon the walls.

bes@1Esd:6:11 @ Then asked we these elders, saying, By whose commandment build ye this house, and lay the foundations of these works?

bes@1Esd:6:12 @ Therefore to the intent that we might give knowledge unto thee by writing, we demanded of them who were the chief doers, and we required of them the names in writing of their principal men.

bes@1Esd:6:13 @ So they gave us this answer, We are the servants of the Lord which made heaven and earth.

bes@1Esd:6:14 @ And as for this house, it was builded many years ago by a king of Israel great and strong, and was finished.

bes@1Esd:6:15 @ But when our fathers provoked God unto wrath, and sinned against the Lord of Israel which is in heaven, he gave them over into the power of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, of the Chaldees;

bes@1Esd:6:17 @ But in the first year that king Cyrus reigned over the country of Babylon Cyrus the king wrote to build up this house.

bes@1Esd:6:18 @ And the holy vessels of gold and of silver, that Nabuchodonosor had carried away out of the house at Jerusalem, and had set them in his own temple those Cyrus the king brought forth again out of the temple at Babylon, and they were delivered to Zorobabel and to Sanabassarus the ruler,

bes@1Esd:6:19 @ With commandment that he should carry away the same vessels, and put them in the temple at Jerusalem; and that the temple of the Lord should be built in his place.

bes@1Esd:6:20 @ Then the same Sanabassarus, being come hither, laid the foundations of the house of the Lord at Jerusalem; and from that time to this being still a building, it is not yet fully ended.

bes@1Esd:6:21 @ Now therefore, if it seem good unto the king, let search be made among the records of king Cyrus:

bes@1Esd:6:22 @ And if it be found that the building of the house of the Lord at Jerusalem hath been done with the consent of king Cyrus, and if our lord the king be so minded, let him signify unto us thereof.

bes@1Esd:6:23 @ Then commanded king Darius to seek among the records at Babylon: and so at Ecbatana the palace, which is in the country of Media, there was found a roll wherein these things were recorded.

bes@1Esd:6:24 @ In the first year of the reign of Cyrus king Cyrus commanded that the house of the Lord at Jerusalem should be built again, where they do sacrifice with continual fire:

bes@1Esd:6:25 @ Whose height shall be sixty cubits and the breadth sixty cubits, with three rows of hewn stones, and one row of new wood of that country; and the expenses thereof to be given out of the house of king Cyrus:

bes@1Esd:6:26 @ And that the holy vessels of the house of the Lord, both of gold and silver, that Nabuchodonosor took out of the house at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, should be restored to the house at Jerusalem, and be set in the place where they were before.

bes@1Esd:6:27 @ And also he commanded that Sisinnes the governor of Syria and Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, and their companions, and those which were appointed rulers in Syria and Phenice, should be careful not to meddle with the place, but suffer Zorobabel, the servant of the Lord, and governor of Judea, and the elders of the Jews, to build the house of the Lord in that place.

bes@1Esd:6:28 @ I have commanded also to have it built up whole again; and that they look diligently to help those that be of the captivity of the Jews, till the house of the Lord be finished:

bes@1Esd:6:29 @ And out of the tribute of Celosyria and Phenice a portion carefully to be given these men for the sacrifices of the Lord, that is, to Zorobabel the governor, for bullocks, and rams, and lambs;

bes@1Esd:6:32 @ And he commanded that whosoever should transgress, yea, or make light of any thing afore spoken or written, out of his own house should a tree be taken, and he thereon be hanged, and all his goods seized for the king.

bes@1Esd:6:33 @ The Lord therefore, whose name is there called upon, utterly destroy every king and nation, that stretcheth out his hand to hinder or endamage that house of the Lord in Jerusalem.

bes@1Esd:7:1 @ Then Sisinnes the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, with their companions following the commandments of king Darius,

bes@1Esd:7:2 @ Did very carefully oversee the holy works, assisting the ancients of the Jews and governors of the temple.

bes@1Esd:7:4 @ And they finished these things by the commandment of the Lord God of Israel, and with the consent of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes, kings of Persia.

bes@1Esd:7:5 @ And thus was the holy house finished in the three and twentieth day of the month Adar, in the sixth year of Darius king of the Persians

bes@1Esd:7:6 @ And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and others that were of the captivity, that were added unto them, did according to the things written in the book of Moses.

bes@1Esd:7:7 @ And to the dedication of the temple of the Lord they offered an hundred bullocks two hundred rams, four hundred lambs;

bes@1Esd:7:8 @ And twelve goats for the sin of all Israel, according to the number of the chief of the tribes of Israel.

bes@1Esd:7:9 @ The priests also and the Levites stood arrayed in their vestments, according to their kindreds, in the service of the Lord God of Israel, according to the book of Moses: and the porters at every gate.

bes@1Esd:7:10 @ And the children of Israel that were of the captivity held the passover the fourteenth day of the first month, after that the priests and the Levites were sanctified.

bes@1Esd:7:11 @ They that were of the captivity were not all sanctified together: but the Levites were all sanctified together.

bes@1Esd:7:12 @ And so they offered the passover for all them of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.

bes@1Esd:7:13 @ And the children of Israel that came out of the captivity did eat, even all they that had separated themselves from the abominations of the people of the land, and sought the Lord.

bes@1Esd:7:14 @ And they kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days, making merry before the Lord,

bes@1Esd:7:15 @ For that he had turned the counsel of the king of Assyria toward them, to strengthen their hands in the works of the Lord God of Israel.

bes@1Esd:8:1 @ And after these things, when Artaxerxes the king of the Persians reigned came Esdras the son of Saraias, the son of Ezerias, the son of Helchiah, the son of Salum,

bes@1Esd:8:3 @ This Esdras went up from Babylon, as a scribe, being very ready in the law of Moses, that was given by the God of Israel.

bes@1Esd:8:5 @ There went up with him also certain of the children of Israel, of the priest of the Levites, of the holy singers, porters, and ministers of the temple, unto Jerusalem,

bes@1Esd:8:6 @ In the seventh year of the reign of Artaxerxes, in the fifth month, this was the king’s seventh year; for they went from Babylon in the first day of the first month, and came to Jerusalem, according to the prosperous journey which the Lord gave them.

bes@1Esd:8:7 @ For Esdras had very great skill, so that he omitted nothing of the law and commandments of the Lord, but taught all Israel the ordinances and judgements.

bes@1Esd:8:17 @ And the holy vessels of the Lord, which are given thee for the use of the temple of thy God, which is in Jerusalem, thou shalt set before thy God in Jerusalem.

bes@1Esd:8:18 @ And whatsoever thing else thou shalt remember for the use of the temple of thy God, thou shalt give it out of the king’s treasury.

bes@1Esd:8:19 @ And I king Artaxerxes have also commanded the keepers of the treasures in Syria and Phenice, that whatsoever Esdras the priest and the reader of the law of the most high God shall send for, they should give it him with speed,

bes@1Esd:8:20 @ To the sum of an hundred talents of silver, likewise also of wheat even to an hundred cors, and an hundred pieces of wine, and other things in abundance.

bes@1Esd:8:21 @ Let all things be performed after the law of God diligently unto the most high God, that wrath come not upon the kingdom of the king and his sons.

bes@1Esd:8:22 @ I command you also, that ye require no tax, nor any other imposition, of any of the priests, or Levites, or holy singers, or porters, or ministers of the temple, or of any that have doings in this temple, and that no man have authority to impose any thing upon them.

bes@1Esd:8:23 @ And thou, Esdras, according to the wisdom of God ordain judges and justices, that they may judge in all Syria and Phenice all those that know the law of thy God; and those that know it not thou shalt teach.

bes@1Esd:8:24 @ And whosoever shall transgress the law of thy God, and of the king, shall be punished diligently, whether it be by death, or other punishment, by penalty of money, or by imprisonment.

bes@1Esd:8:25 @ Then said Esdras the scribe, Blessed be the only Lord God of my fathers, who hath put these things into the heart of the king, to glorify his house that is in Jerusalem:

bes@1Esd:8:26 @ And hath honoured me in the sight of the king, and his counsellors, and all his friends and nobles.

bes@1Esd:8:27 @ Therefore was I encouraged by the help of the Lord my God, and gathered together men of Israel to go up with me.

bes@1Esd:8:28 @ And these are the chief according to their families and several dignities, that went up with me from Babylon in the reign of king Artaxerxes:

bes@1Esd:8:29 @ Of the sons of Phinees, Gerson: of the sons of Ithamar, Gamael: of the sons of David, Lettus the son of Sechenias:

bes@1Esd:8:30 @ Of the sons of Pharez, Zacharias; and with him were counted an hundred and fifty men:

bes@1Esd:8:31 @ Of the sons of Pahath Moab, Eliaonias, the son of Zaraias, and with him two hundred men:

bes@1Esd:8:32 @ Of the sons of Zathoe, Sechenias the son of Jezelus, and with him three hundred men: of the sons of Adin, Obeth the son of Jonathan, and with him two hundred and fifty men:

bes@1Esd:8:33 @ Of the sons of Elam, Josias son of Gotholias, and with him seventy men:

bes@1Esd:8:34 @ Of the sons of Saphatias, Zaraias son of Michael, and with him threescore and ten men:

bes@1Esd:8:35 @ Of the sons of Joab, Abadias son of Jezelus, and with him two hundred and twelve men:

bes@1Esd:8:36 @ Of the sons of Banid, Assalimoth son of Josaphias, and with him an hundred and threescore men:

bes@1Esd:8:37 @ Of the sons of Babi, Zacharias son of Bebai, and with him twenty and eight men:

bes@1Esd:8:38 @ Of the sons of Astath, Johannes son of Acatan, and with him an hundred and ten men:

bes@1Esd:8:39 @ Of the sons of Adonikam the last, and these are the names of them, Eliphalet, Jewel, and Samaias, and with them seventy men:

bes@1Esd:8:40 @ Of the sons of Bago, Uthi the son of Istalcurus, and with him seventy men.

bes@1Esd:8:42 @ But when I had found there none of the priests and Levites,

bes@1Esd:8:45 @ And I bade them that they should go unto Saddeus the captain, who was in the place of the treasury:

bes@1Esd:8:46 @ And commanded them that they should speak unto Daddeus, and to his brethren, and to the treasurers in that place, to send us such men as might execute the priests’ office in the house of the Lord.

bes@1Esd:8:47 @ And by the mighty hand of our Lord they brought unto us skilful men of the sons of Moli the son of Levi, the son of Israel, Asebebia, and his sons, and his brethren, who were eighteen.

bes@1Esd:8:48 @ And Asebia, and Annuus, and Osaias his brother, of the sons of Channuneus, and their sons, were twenty men.

bes@1Esd:8:49 @ And of the servants of the temple whom David had ordained, and the principal men for the service of the Levites to wit, the servants of the temple two hundred and twenty, the catalogue of whose names were shewed.

bes@1Esd:8:50 @ And there I vowed a fast unto the young men before our Lord, to desire of him a prosperous journey both for us and them that were with us, for our children, and for the cattle:

bes@1Esd:8:52 @ For we had said unto the king, that the power of the Lord our God should be with them that seek him, to support them in all ways.

bes@1Esd:8:54 @ Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Esebrias, and Assanias, and ten men of their brethren with them:

bes@1Esd:8:55 @ And I weighed them the gold, and the silver, and the holy vessels of the house of our Lord, which the king, and his council, and the princes, and all Israel, had given.

bes@1Esd:8:56 @ And when I had weighed it, I delivered unto them six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels of an hundred talents, and an hundred talents of gold,

bes@1Esd:8:57 @ And twenty golden vessels, and twelve vessels of brass, even of fine brass, glittering like gold.

bes@1Esd:8:58 @ And I said unto them, Both ye are holy unto the Lord, and the vessels are holy, and the gold and the silver is a vow unto the Lord, the Lord of our fathers.

bes@1Esd:8:59 @ Watch ye, and keep them till ye deliver them to the chief of the priests and Levites, and to the principal men of the families of Israel, in Jerusalem, into the chambers of the house of our God.

bes@1Esd:8:60 @ So the priests and the Levites, who had received the silver and the gold and the vessels, brought them unto Jerusalem, into the temple of the Lord.

bes@1Esd:8:61 @ And from the river Theras we departed the twelfth day of the first month, and came to Jerusalem by the mighty hand of our Lord, which was with us: and from the beginning of our journey the Lord delivered us from every enemy, and so we came to Jerusalem.

bes@1Esd:8:62 @ And when we had been there three days, the gold and silver that was weighed was delivered in the house of our Lord on the fourth day unto Marmoth the priest the son of Iri.

bes@1Esd:8:63 @ And with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them were Josabad the son of Jesu and Moeth the son of Sabban, Levites: all was delivered them by number and weight.

bes@1Esd:8:64 @ And all the weight of them was written up the same hour.

bes@1Esd:8:65 @ Moreover they that were come out of the captivity offered sacrifice unto the Lord God of Israel, even twelve bullocks for all Israel, fourscore and sixteen rams,

bes@1Esd:8:66 @ Threescore and twelve lambs, goats for a peace offering, twelve; all of them a sacrifice to the Lord.

bes@1Esd:8:67 @ And they delivered the king’s commandments unto the king’s stewards’ and to the governors of Celosyria and Phenice; and they honoured the people and the temple of God.

bes@1Esd:8:69 @ The nation of Israel, the princes, the priests and Levites, have not put away from them the strange people of the land, nor the pollutions of the Gentiles to wit, of the Canaanites, Hittites, Pheresites, Jebusites, and the Moabites, Egyptians, and Edomites.

bes@1Esd:8:70 @ For both they and their sons have married with their daughters, and the holy seed is mixed with the strange people of the land; and from the beginning of this matter the rulers and the great men have been partakers of this iniquity.

bes@1Esd:8:72 @ So all they that were then moved at the word of the Lord God of Israel assembled unto me, whilst I mourned for the iniquity: but I sat still full of heaviness until the evening sacrifice.

bes@1Esd:8:76 @ For ever since the time of our fathers we have been and are in great sin, even unto this day.

bes@1Esd:8:77 @ And for our sins and our fathers’ we with our brethren and our kings and our priests were given up unto the kings of the earth, to the sword, and to captivity, and for a prey with shame, unto this day.

bes@1Esd:8:78 @ And now in some measure hath mercy been shewed unto us from thee, O Lord, that there should be left us a root and a name in the place of thy sanctuary;

bes@1Esd:8:79 @ And to discover unto us a light in the house of the Lord our God, and to give us food in the time of our servitude.

bes@1Esd:8:80 @ Yea, when we were in bondage, we were not forsaken of our Lord; but he made us gracious before the kings of Persia, so that they gave us food;

bes@1Esd:8:81 @ Yea, and honoured the temple of our Lord, and raised up the desolate Sion, that they have given us a sure abiding in Jewry and Jerusalem.

bes@1Esd:8:82 @ And now, O Lord, what shall we say, having these things? for we have transgressed thy commandments, which thou gavest by the hand of thy servants the prophets, saying,

bes@1Esd:8:83 @ That the land, which ye enter into to possess as an heritage, is a land polluted with the pollutions of the strangers of the land, and they have filled it with their uncleanness.

bes@1Esd:8:85 @ Moreover ye shall never seek to have peace with them, that ye may be strong, and eat the good things of the land, and that ye may leave the inheritance of the land unto your children for evermore.

bes@1Esd:8:87 @ And didst give unto us such a root: but we have turned back again to transgress thy law, and to mingle ourselves with the uncleanness of the nations of the land.

bes@1Esd:8:89 @ O Lord of Israel, thou art true: for we are left a root this day.

bes@1Esd:8:90 @ Behold, now are we before thee in our iniquities, for we cannot stand any longer by reason of these things before thee.

bes@1Esd:8:91 @ And as Esdras in his prayer made his confession, weeping, and lying flat upon the ground before the temple, there gathered unto him from Jerusalem a very great multitude of men and women and children: for there was great weeping among the multitude.

bes@1Esd:8:92 @ Then Jechonias the son of Jeelus, one of the sons of Israel, called out, and said, O Esdras, we have sinned against the Lord God, we have married strange women of the nations of the land, and now is all Israel aloft.

bes@1Esd:8:93 @ Let us make an oath to the Lord, that we will put away all our wives, which we have taken of the heathen, with their children,

bes@1Esd:8:94 @ Like as thou hast decreed, and as many as do obey the law of the Lord.

bes@1Esd:8:96 @ So Esdras arose, and took an oath of the chief of the priests and Levites of all Israel to do after these things; and so they sware.

bes@1Esd:9:1 @ Then Esdras rising from the court of the temple went to the chamber of Joanan the son of Eliasib,

bes@1Esd:9:2 @ And remained there, and did eat no meat nor drink water, mourning for the great iniquities of the multitude.

bes@1Esd:9:3 @ And there was a proclamation in all Jewry and Jerusalem to all them that were of the captivity, that they should be gathered together at Jerusalem:

bes@1Esd:9:4 @ And that whosoever met not there within two or three days according as the elders that bare rule appointed, their cattle should be seized to the use of the temple, and himself cast out from them that were of the captivity.

bes@1Esd:9:5 @ And in three days were all they of the tribe of Judah and Benjamin gathered together at Jerusalem the twentieth day of the ninth month.

bes@1Esd:9:6 @ And all the multitude sat trembling in the broad court of the temple because of the present foul weather.

bes@1Esd:9:7 @ So Esdras arose up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed the law in marrying strange wives, thereby to increase the sins of Israel.

bes@1Esd:9:8 @ And now by confessing give glory unto the Lord God of our fathers,

bes@1Esd:9:9 @ And do his will, and separate yourselves from the heathen of the land, and from the strange women.

bes@1Esd:9:11 @ But forasmuch as the people are many, and it is foul weather, so that we cannot stand without, and this is not a work of a day or two, seeing our sin in these things is spread far:

bes@1Esd:9:12 @ Therefore let the rulers of the multitude stay, and let all them of our habitations that have strange wives come at the time appointed,

bes@1Esd:9:13 @ And with them the rulers and judges of every place, till we turn away the wrath of the Lord from us for this matter.

bes@1Esd:9:14 @ Then Jonathan the son of Azael and Ezechias the son of Theocanus accordingly took this matter upon them: and Mosollam and Levis and Sabbatheus helped them.

bes@1Esd:9:15 @ And they that were of the captivity did according to all these things.

bes@1Esd:9:16 @ And Esdras the priest chose unto him the principal men of their families, all by name: and in the first day of the tenth month they sat together to examine the matter.

bes@1Esd:9:17 @ So their cause that held strange wives was brought to an end in the first day of the first month.

bes@1Esd:9:18 @ And of the priests that were come together, and had strange wives, there were found:

bes@1Esd:9:19 @ Of the sons of Jesus the son of Josedec, and his brethren; Matthelas and Eleazar, and Joribus and Joadanus.

bes@1Esd:9:21 @ And of the sons of Emmer; Ananias, and Zabdeus, and Eanes, and Sameius, and Hiereel, and Azarias.

bes@1Esd:9:22 @ And of the sons of Phaisur; Elionas, Massias Israel, and Nathanael, and Ocidelus and Talsas.

bes@1Esd:9:23 @ And of the Levites; Jozabad, and Semis, and Colius, who was called Calitas, and Patheus, and Judas, and Jonas.

bes@1Esd:9:24 @ Of the holy singers; Eleazurus, Bacchurus.

bes@1Esd:9:25 @ Of the porters; Sallumus, and Tolbanes.

bes@1Esd:9:26 @ Of them of Israel, of the sons of Phoros; Hiermas, and Eddias, and Melchias, and Maelus, and Eleazar, and Asibias, and Baanias.

bes@1Esd:9:27 @ Of the sons of Ela; Matthanias, Zacharias, and Hierielus, and Hieremoth, and Aedias.

bes@1Esd:9:28 @ And of the sons of Zamoth; Eliadas, Elisimus, Othonias, Jarimoth, and Sabatus, and Sardeus.

bes@1Esd:9:29 @ Of the sons of Babai; Johannes, and Ananias and Josabad, and Amatheis.

bes@1Esd:9:30 @ Of the sons of Mani; Olamus, Mamuchus, Jedeus, Jasubus, Jasael, and Hieremoth.

bes@1Esd:9:31 @ And of the sons of Addi; Naathus, and Moosias, Lacunus, and Naidus, and Mathanias, and Sesthel, Balnuus, and Manasseas.

bes@1Esd:9:32 @ And of the sons of Annas; Elionas and Aseas, and Melchias, and Sabbeus, and Simon Chosameus.

bes@1Esd:9:33 @ And of the sons of Asom; Altaneus, and Matthias, and Baanaia, Eliphalet, and Manasses, and Semei.

bes@1Esd:9:34 @ And of the sons of Maani; Jeremias, Momdis, Omaerus, Juel, Mabdai, and Pelias, and Anos, Carabasion, and Enasibus, and Mamnitanaimus, Eliasis, Bannus, Eliali, Samis, Selemias, Nathanias: and of the sons of Ozora; Sesis, Esril, Azaelus, Samatus, Zambis, Josephus.

bes@1Esd:9:35 @ And of the sons of Ethma; Mazitias, Zabadaias, Edes, Juel, Banaias.

bes@1Esd:9:37 @ And the priests and Levites, and they that were of Israel, dwelt in Jerusalem, and in the country, in the first day of the seventh month: so the children of Israel were in their habitations.

bes@1Esd:9:38 @ And the whole multitude came together with one accord into the broad place of the holy porch toward the east:

bes@1Esd:9:39 @ And they spake unto Esdras the priest and reader, that he would bring the law of Moses, that was given of the Lord God of Israel.

bes@1Esd:9:40 @ So Esdras the chief priest brought the law unto the whole multitude from man to woman, and to all the priests, to hear law in the first day of the seventh month.

bes@1Esd:9:42 @ And Esdras the priest and reader of the law stood up upon a pulpit of wood, which was made for that purpose.

bes@1Esd:9:45 @ Then took Esdras the book of the law before the multitude: for he sat honourably in the first place in the sight of them all.

bes@1Esd:9:46 @ And when he opened the law, they stood all straight up. So Esdras blessed the Lord God most High, the God of hosts, Almighty.

bes@1Esd:9:48 @ Also Jesus, Anus, Sarabias, Adinus, Jacubus, Sabateas, Auteas, Maianeas, and Calitas, Azarias, and Joazabdus, and Ananias, Biatas, the Levites, taught the law of the Lord, making them withal to understand it.

bes@Sus:1:2 @ And he took a wife, whose name was Susanna, the daughter of Chelcias, a very fair woman, and one that feared the Lord.

bes@Sus:1:3 @ Her parents also were righteous, and taught their daughter according to the law of Moses.

bes@Sus:1:5 @ The same year were appointed two of the ancients of the people to be judges, such as the Lord spake of, that wickedness came from Babylon from ancient judges, who seemed to govern the people.

bes@Sus:1:23 @ It is better for me to fall into your hands, and not do it, than to sin in the sight of the Lord.

bes@Sus:1:26 @ So when the servants of the house heard the cry in the garden, they rushed in at the privy door, to see what was done unto her.

bes@Sus:1:27 @ But when the elders had declared their matter, the servants were greatly ashamed: for there was never such a report made of Susanna.

bes@Sus:1:28 @ And it came to pass the next day, when the people were assembled to her husband Joacim, the two elders came also full of mischievous imagination against Susanna to put her to death;

bes@Sus:1:29 @ And said before the people, Send for Susanna, the daughter of Chelcias, Joacim’s wife. And so they sent.

bes@Sus:1:34 @ Then the two elders stood up in the midst of the people, and laid their hands upon her head.

bes@Sus:1:38 @ Then we that stood in a corner of the garden, seeing this wickedness, ran unto them.

bes@Sus:1:41 @ Then the assembly believed them as those that were the elders and judges of the people: so they condemned her to death.

bes@Sus:1:45 @ Therefore when she was led to be put to death, the Lord raised up the holy spirit of a young youth whose name was Daniel:

bes@Sus:1:46 @ Who cried with a loud voice, I am clear from the blood of this woman.

bes@Sus:1:48 @ So he standing in the midst of them said, Are ye such fools, ye sons of Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the truth ye have condemned a daughter of Israel?

bes@Sus:1:49 @ Return again to the place of judgement: for they have borne false witness against her.

bes@Sus:1:50 @ Wherefore all the people turned again in haste, and the elders said unto him, Come, sit down among us, and shew it us, seeing God hath given thee the honour of an elder.

bes@Sus:1:52 @ So when they were put asunder one from another, he called one of them, and said unto him, O thou that art waxen old in wickedness, now thy sins which thou hast committed aforetime are come to light.

bes@Sus:1:55 @ And Daniel said, Very well; thou hast lied against thine own head; for even now the angel of God hath received the sentence of God to cut thee in two.

bes@Sus:1:56 @ So he put him aside, and commanded to bring the other, and said unto him, O thou seed of Chanaan, and not of Juda, beauty hath deceived thee, and lust hath perverted thine heart.

bes@Sus:1:57 @ Thus have ye dealt with the daughters of Israel, and they for fear companied with you: but the daughter of Juda would not abide your wickedness.

bes@Sus:1:59 @ Then said Daniel unto him, Well; thou hast also lied against thine own head: for the angel of God waiteth with the sword to cut thee in two, that he may destroy you.

bes@Sus:1:61 @ And they arose against the two elders, for Daniel had convicted them of false witness by their own mouth:

bes@Sus:1:62 @ And according to the law of Moses they did unto them in such sort as they maliciously intended to do to their neighbour: and they put them to death. Thus the innocent blood was saved the same day.

bes@Sus:1:64 @ From that day forth was Daniel had in great reputation in the sight of the people.

bes@Ps151:1:1 @ This Psalm is a genuine one of David, though supernumerary, composed when he fought in single combat with (note:)Alex. Goliath(:note) Goliad. - I was small among my brethren, and youngest in my father’s house: I tended my father’s sheep.

bes@Ps151:1:4 @ He sent forth his angel, and took me from my father’s sheep, and he anointed me with the oil of his anointing.

bes@Ps151:1:7 @ But I drew his own sword, and beheaded him, and removed reproach from the children of Israel.

bes@BelTh:1:1 @ And king Astyages was gathered to his fathers, and Cyrus of Persia received his kingdom.

bes@BelTh:1:3 @ Now the Babylonians had an idol, called Bel, and there were spent upon him every day twelve great measures of fine flour, and forty sheep, and six vessels of wine.

bes@BelTh:1:10 @ Now the priests of Bel were threescore and ten, beside their wives and children. And the king went with Daniel into the temple of Bel.

bes@BelTh:1:14 @ So when they were gone forth, the king set meats before Bel. Now Daniel had commanded his servants to bring ashes, and those they strewed throughout all the temple in the presence of the king alone: then went they out, and shut the door, and sealed it with the king’s signet, and so departed.

bes@BelTh:1:20 @ And the king said, I see the footsteps of men, women, and children. And then the king was angry,

bes@BelTh:1:23 @ And in that same place there was a great dragon, which they of Babylon worshipped.

bes@BelTh:1:24 @ And the king said unto Daniel, Wilt thou also say that this is of brass? lo, he liveth, he eateth and drinketh; thou canst not say that he is no living god: therefore worship him.

bes@BelTh:1:28 @ When they of Babylon heard that, they took great indignation, and conspired against the king, saying, The king is become a Jew, and he hath destroyed Bel, he hath slain the dragon, and put the priests to death.

bes@BelTh:1:34 @ But the angel of the Lord said unto Habbacuc, Go, carry the dinner that thou hast into Babylon unto Daniel, who is in the lions’ den.

bes@BelTh:1:36 @ Then the angel of the Lord took him by the crown, and bare him by the hair of his head, and through the vehemency of his spirit set him in Babylon over the den.

bes@BelTh:1:39 @ So Daniel arose, and did eat: and the angel of the Lord set Habbacuc in his own place again immediately.

bes@BelTh:1:41 @ Then cried the king with a loud voice, saying, Great art Lord God of Daniel, and there is none other beside thee.

bes@BelTh:1:42 @ And he drew him out, and cast those that were the cause of his destruction into the den: and they were devoured in a moment before his face.
