apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:88 @ Mightest not thou be angry with us to destroy us, till thou hadst left us neither root, seed, nor name?
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:90 @ Behold, now are we before thee in our iniquities, for we cannot stand any longer by reason of these things before thee.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:94 @ Like as thou hast decreed, and as many as do obey the law of the Lord.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:95 @ Arise and put in execution: for to thee doth this matter appertain, and we will be with thee: do valiantly.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:1 @ Then Esdras rising from the court of the temple went to the chamber of Joanan the son of Eliasib,
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras: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:
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:6 @ And all the multitude sat trembling in the broad court of the temple because of the present foul weather.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:32 @ And of the sons of Annas; Elionas and Aseas, and Melchias, and Sabbeus, and Simon Chosameus.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:41 @ And he read in the broad court before the holy porch from morning unto midday, before both men and women; and the multitude gave heed unto the law.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:52 @ For this day is holy unto the Lord: and be not sorrowful; for the Lord will bring you to honour.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:53 @ So the Levites published all things to the people, saying, This day is holy to the Lord; be not sorrowful.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:55 @ Because they understood the words wherein they were instructed, and for the which they had been assembled.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:2 @ And made many wars, and won many strong holds, and slew the kings of the earth,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:4 @ And he gathered a mighty strong host and ruled over countries, and nations, and kings, who became tributaries unto him.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:5 @ And after these things he fell sick, and perceived that he should die.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:6 @ Wherefore he called his servants, such as were honourable, and had been brought up with him from his youth, and parted his kingdom among them, while he was yet alive.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:7 @ So Alexander reigned twelves years, and then died.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:8 @ And his servants bare rule every one in his place.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:9 @ And after his death they all put crowns upon themselves; so did their sons after them many years: and evils were multiplied in the earth.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:12 @ So this device pleased them well.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:14 @ Whereupon they built a place of exercise at Jerusalem according to the customs of the heathen:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:15 @ And made themselves uncircumcised, and forsook the holy covenant, and joined themselves to the heathen, and were sold to do mischief.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:17 @ Wherefore he entered into Egypt with a great multitude, with chariots, and elephants, and horsemen, and a great navy,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:18 @ And made war against Ptolemee king of Egypt: but Ptolemee was afraid of him, and fled; and many were wounded to death.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:19 @ Thus they got the strong cities in the land of Egypt and he took the spoils thereof.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:20 @ And after that Antiochus had smitten Egypt, he returned again in the hundred forty and third year, and went up against Israel and Jerusalem with a great multitude,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:21 @ And entered proudly into the sanctuary, and took away the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all the vessels thereof,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:23 @ He took also the silver and the gold, and the precious vessels: also he took the hidden treasures which he found.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:24 @ And when he had taken all away, he went into his own land, having made a great massacre, and spoken very proudly.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:25 @ Therefore there was a great mourning in Israel, in every place where they were;
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:26 @ So that the princes and elders mourned, the virgins and young men were made feeble, and the beauty of women was changed.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:27 @ Every bridegroom took up lamentation, and she that sat in the marriage chamber was in heaviness,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:28 @ The land also was moved for the inhabitants thereof, and all the house of Jacob was covered with confusion.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:32 @ But the women and children took they captive, and possessed the cattle.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:34 @ And they put therein a sinful nation, wicked men, and fortified themselves therein.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:36 @ For it was a place to lie in wait against the sanctuary, and an evil adversary to Israel.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:37 @ Thus they shed innocent blood on every side of the sanctuary, and defiled it:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:39 @ Her sanctuary was laid waste like a wilderness, her feasts were turned into mourning, her sabbaths into reproach her honour into contempt.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:40 @ As had been her glory, so was her dishonour increased, and her excellency was turned into mourning.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:41 @ Moreover king Antiochus wrote to his whole kingdom, that all should be one people,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:42 @ And every one should leave his laws: so all the heathen agreed according to the commandment of the king.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:43 @ Yea, many also of the Israelites consented to his religion, and sacrificed unto idols, and profaned the sabbath.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:45 @ And forbid burnt offerings, and sacrifice, and drink offerings, in the temple; and that they should profane the sabbaths and festival days:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:46 @ And pollute the sanctuary and holy people:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:47 @ Set up altars, and groves, and chapels of idols, and sacrifice swine's flesh, and unclean beasts:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:48 @ That they should also leave their children uncircumcised, and make their souls abominable with all manner of uncleanness and profanation:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:49 @ To the end they might forget the law, and change all the ordinances.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:50 @ And whosoever would not do according to the commandment of the king, he said, he should die.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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;
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:53 @ And drove the Israelites into secret places, even wheresoever they could flee for succour.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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;
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:55 @ And burnt incense at the doors of their houses, and in the streets.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:56 @ And when they had rent in pieces the books of the law which they found, they burnt them with fire.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:58 @ Thus did they by their authority unto the Israelites every month, to as many as were found in the cities.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:60 @ At which time according to the commandment they put to death certain women, that had caused their children to be circumcised.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:61 @ And they hanged the infants about their necks, and rifled their houses, and slew them that had circumcised them.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:62 @ Howbeit many in Israel were fully resolved and confirmed in themselves not to eat any unclean thing.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:63 @ Wherefore the rather to die, that they might not be defiled with meats, and that they might not profane the holy covenant: so then they died.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:64 @ And there was very great wrath upon Israel.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:2 @ And he had five sons, Joannan, called Caddis:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:3 @ Simon; called Thassi:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:4 @ Judas, who was called Maccabeus:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:5 @ Eleazar, called Avaran: and Jonathan, whose surname was Apphus.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:6 @ And when he saw the blasphemies that were committed in Juda and Jerusalem,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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?
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:8 @ Her temple is become as a man without glory.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:10 @ What nation hath not had a part in her kingdom and gotten of her spoils?
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:11 @ All her ornaments are taken away; of a free woman she is become a bondslave.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:12 @ And, behold, our sanctuary, even our beauty and our glory, is laid waste, and the Gentiles have profaned it.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:13 @ To what end therefore shall we live any longer?
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:14 @ Then Mattathias and his sons rent their clothes, and put on sackcloth, and mourned very sore.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:15 @ In the mean while the king's officers, such as compelled the people to revolt, came into the city Modin, to make them sacrifice.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:16 @ And when many of Israel came unto them, Mattathias also and his sons came together.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:17 @ Then answered the king's officers, and said to Mattathias on this wise, Thou art a ruler, and an honourable and great man in this city, and strengthened with sons and brethren:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:20 @ Yet will I and my sons and my brethren walk in the covenant of our fathers.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:21 @ God forbid that we should forsake the law and the ordinances.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:22 @ We will not hearken to the king's words, to go from our religion, either on the right hand, or the left.
