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:2:21 @ God forbid that we should forsake the law and the ordinances.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:24 @ Which thing when Mattathias saw, he was inflamed with zeal, and his reins trembled, neither could he forbear to shew his anger according to judgment: wherefore he ran, and slew him upon the altar.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:37 @ But said, Let us die all in our innocency: heaven and earth will testify for us, that ye put us to death wrongfully.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:39 @ Now when Mattathias and his friends understood hereof, they mourned for them right sore.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:41 @ At that time therefore they decreed, saying, Whosoever shall come to make battle with us on the sabbath day, we will fight against him; neither will we die all, as our brethren that were murdered im the secret places.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:43 @ Also all they that fled for persecution joined themselves unto them, and were a stay unto them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:44 @ So they joined their forces, and smote sinful men in their anger, and wicked men in their wrath: but the rest fled to the heathen for succour.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:28 @ He opened also his treasure, and gave his soldiers pay for a year, commanding them to be ready whensoever he should need them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:30 @ He feared that he should not be able to bear the charges any longer, nor to have such gifts to give so liberally as he did before: for he had abounded above the kings that were before him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:40 @ So they went forth with all their power, and came and pitched by Emmaus in the plain country.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:44 @ Then was the congregation gathered together, that they might be ready for battle, and that they might pray, and ask mercy and compassion.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:46 @ Wherefore the Israelites assembled themselves together, and came to Maspha, over against Jerusalem; for in Maspha was the place where they prayed aforetime in Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:51 @ For thy sanctuary is trodden down and profaned, and thy priests are in heaviness, and brought low.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:56 @ But as for such as were building houses, or had betrothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or were fearful, those he commanded that they should return, every man to his own house, according to the law.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:59 @ For it is better for us to die in battle, than to behold the calamities of our people and our sanctuary.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:17 @ And said to the people, Be not greedy of the spoil inasmuch as there is a battle before us,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:41 @ Then Judas appointed certain men to fight against those that were in the fortress, until he had cleansed the sanctuary.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:45 @ They thought it best to pull it down, lest it should be a reproach to them, because the heathen had defiled it: wherefore they pulled it down,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:47 @ Then they took whole stones according to the law, and built a new altar according to the former;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:58 @ Thus was there very great gladness among the people, for that the reproach of the heathen was put away.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:60 @ At that time also they builded up the mount Sion with high walls and strong towers round about, lest the Gentiles should come and tread it down as they had done before.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:61 @ And they set there a garrison to keep it, and fortified Bethsura to preserve it; that the people might have a defence against Idumea.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:1 @ Now when the nations round about heard that the altar was built and the sanctuary renewed as before, it displeased them very much.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:7 @ So he fought many battles with them, till at length they were discomfited before him; and he smote them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:11 @ And they are preparing to come and take the fortress whereunto we are fled, Timotheus being captain of their host.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:12 @ Come now therefore, and deliver us from their hands, for many of us are slain:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:29 @ From whence he removed by night, and went till he came to the fortress.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:32 @ He said unto his host, Fight this day for your brethren.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:33 @ So he went forth behind them in three companies, who sounded their trumpets, and cried with prayer.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:43 @ So he went first over unto them, and all the people after him: then all the heathen, being discomfited before him, cast away their weapons, and fled unto the temple that was at Carnaim.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:44 @ But they took the city, and burned the temple with all that were therein. Thus was Carnaim subdued, neither could they stand any longer before Judas.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:49 @ Wherefore Judas commanded a proclamation to be made throughout the host, that every man should pitch his tent in the place where he was.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:52 @ After this went they over Jordan into the great plain before Bethsan.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:55 @ Now what time as Judas and Jonathan were in the land of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee before Ptolemais,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:57 @ Wherefore they said, Let us also get us a name, and go fight against the heathen that are round about us.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:67 @ At that time certain priests, desirous to shew their valour, were slain in battle, for that they went out to fight unadvisedly.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:7 @ Also that they had pulled down the abomination, which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls, as before, and his city Bethsura.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:8 @ Now when the king heard these words, he was astonished and sore moved: whereupon he laid him down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not befallen him as he looked for.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:9 @ And there he continued many days: for his grief was ever more and more, and he made account that he should die.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:10 @ Wherefore he called for all his friends, and said unto them, The sleep is gone from mine eyes, and my heart faileth for very care.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:13 @ I perceive therefore that for this cause these troubles are come upon me, and, behold, I perish through great grief in a strange land.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:14 @ Then called he for Philip, one of his friends, who he made ruler over all his realm,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:15 @ And gave him the crown, and his robe, and his signet, to the end he should bring up his son Antiochus, and nourish him up for the kingdom.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:16 @ So king Antiochus died there in the hundred forty and ninth year.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:19 @ Wherefore Judas, purposing to destroy them, called all the people together to besiege them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:20 @ So they came together, and besieged them in the hundred and fiftieth year, and he made mounts for shot against them, and other engines.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:21 @ Howbeit certain of them that were besieged got forth, unto whom some ungodly men of Israel joined themselves:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:26 @ And, behold, this day are they besieging the tower at Jerusalem, to take it: the sanctuary also and Bethsura have they fortified.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:27 @ Wherefore if thou dost not prevent them quickly, they will do the greater things than these, neither shalt thou be able to rule them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:47 @ Howbeit the rest of the Jews seeing the strength of the king, and the violence of his forces, turned away from them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:51 @ As for the sanctuary, he besieged it many days: and set there artillery with engines and instruments to cast fire and stones, and pieces to cast darts and slings.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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;)

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:58 @ Now therefore let us be friends with these men, and make peace with them, and with all their nation;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:59 @ And covenant with them, that they shall live after their laws, as they did before: for they are therefore displeased, and have done all these things, because we abolished their laws.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:60 @ So the king and the princes were content: wherefore he sent unto them to make peace; and they accepted thereof.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:3 @ Wherefore, when he knew it, he said, Let me not see their faces.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:7 @ Now therefore send some man whom thou trustest, and let him go and see what havock he hath made among us, and in the king's land, and let him punish them with all them that aid them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:11 @ But they gave no heed to their words; for they saw that they were come with a great power.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:21 @ But Alcimus contended for the high priesthood.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:27 @ So Nicanor came to Jerusalem with a great force; and sent unto Judas and his brethren deceitfully with friendly words, saying,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:29 @ He came therefore to Judas, and they saluted one another peaceably. Howbeit the enemies were prepared to take away Judas by violence.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:7 @ When Judas therefore saw that his host slipt away, and that the battle pressed upon him, he was sore troubled in mind, and much distressed, for that he had no time to gather them together.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:9 @ But they dehorted him, saying, We shall never be able: let us now rather save our lives, and hereafter we will return with our brethren, and fight against them: for we are but few.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:10 @ Then Judas said, God forbid that I should do this thing, and flee away from them: if our time be come, let us die manfully for our brethren, and let us not stain our honour.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:12 @ As for Bacchides, he was in the right wing: so the host drew near on the two parts, and sounded their trumpets.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:20 @ Moreover they bewailed him, and all Israel made great lamentation for him, and mourned many days, saying,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:22 @ As for the other things concerning Judas and his wars, and the noble acts which he did, and his greatness, they are not written: for they were very many.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:28 @ For this cause all Judas' friends came together, and said unto Jonathan,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:30 @ Now therefore we have chosen thee this day to be our prince and captain in his stead, that thou mayest fight our battles.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:32 @ But when Bacchides gat knowledge thereof, he sought for to slay him

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:38 @ Therefore they remembered John their brother, and went up, and hid themselves under the covert of the mountain:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:44 @ Then Jonathan said to his company, Let us go up now and fight for our lives, for it standeth not with us to day, as in time past:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:46 @ Wherefore cry ye now unto heaven, that ye may be delivered from the hand of your enemies.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:47 @ With that they joined battle, and Jonathan stretched forth his hand to smite Bacchides, but he turned back from him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:50 @ Afterward returned Bacchides to Jerusalem and repaired the strong cites in Judea; the fort in Jericho, and Emmaus, and Bethhoron, and Bethel, and Thamnatha, Pharathoni, and Taphon, these did he strengthen with high walls, with gates and with bars.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:52 @ He fortified also the city Bethsura, and Gazera, and the tower, and put forces in them, and provision of victuals.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:53 @ Besides, he took the chief men's sons in the country for hostages, and put them into the tower at Jerusalem to be kept.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:55 @ And as he began to pull down, even at that time was Alcimus plagued, and his enterprizes hindered: for his mouth was stopped, and he was taken with a palsy, so that he could no more speak any thing, nor give order concerning his house.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:58 @ Then all the ungodly men held a council, saying, Behold, Jonathan and his company are at ease, and dwell without care: now therefore we will bring Bacchides hither, who shall take them all in one night.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:61 @ Wherefore they took of the men of the country, that were authors of that mischief, about fifty persons, and slew them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:65 @ But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and went forth himself into the country, and with a certain number went he forth.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:68 @ And fought against Bacchides, who was discomfited by them, and they afflicted him sore: for his counsel and travail was in vain.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:2 @ Now when king Demetrius heard thereof, he gathered together an exceeding great host, and went forth against him to fight.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:4 @ For said he, Let us first make peace with him, before he join with Alexander against us:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:6 @ Wherefore he gave him authority to gather together an host, and to provide weapons, that he might aid him in battle: he commanded also that the hostages that were in the tower should be delivered him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:11 @ And he commanded the workmen to build the walls and the mount Sion and about with square stones for fortification; and they did so.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:12 @ Then the strangers, that were in the fortresses which Bacchides had built, fled away;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:16 @ He said, Shall we find such another man? now therefore we will make him our friend and confederate.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:25 @ He sent unto them therefore to this effect: King Demetrius unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:27 @ Wherefore now continue ye still to be faithful unto us, and we will well recompense you for the things ye do in our behalf,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:32 @ And as for the tower which is at Jerusalem, I yield up authority over it, and give the high priest, that he may set in it such men as he shall choose to keep it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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 expences of the sanctuary.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:43 @ And whosoever they be that flee unto the temple at Jerusalem, or be within the liberties hereof, being indebted unto the king, or for any other matter, let them be at liberty, and all that they have in my realm.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:44 @ For the building also and repairing of the works of the sanctuary expences shall be given of the king's accounts.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:45 @ Yea, and for the building of the walls of Jerusalem, and the fortifying thereof round about, expences shall be given out of the king's accounts, as also for the building of the walls in Judea.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:46 @ Now when Jonathan and the people heard these words, they gave no credit unto them, nor received them, because they remembered the great evil that he had done in Israel; for he had afflicted them very sore.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:48 @ Then gathered king Alexander great forces, and camped over against Demetrius.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:56 @ And now will I do to thee, as thou hast written: meet me therefore at Ptolemais, that we may see one another; for I will marry my daughter to thee according to thy desire.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:70 @ Thou alone liftest up thyself against us, and I am laughed to scorn for thy sake, and reproached: and why dost thou vaunt thy power against us in the mountains?

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:73 @ Wherefore now thou shalt not be able to abide the horsemen and so great a power in the plain, where is neither stone nor flint, nor place to flee unto.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:76 @ Then Jonathan laid siege unto it: whereupon they of the city let him in for fear: and so Jonathan won Joppa.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:80 @ And Jonathan knew that there was an ambushment behind him; for they had compassed in his host, and cast darts at the people, from morning till evening.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:82 @ Then brought Simon forth his host, and set them against the footmen, (for the horsemen were spent) who were discomfited by him, and fled.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:83 @ The horsemen also, being scattered in the field, fled to Azotus, and went into Bethdagon, their idol's temple, for safety.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:2 @ Whereupon he took his journey into Spain 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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:10 @ For I repent that I gave my daughter unto him, for he sought to slay me.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:12 @ Wherefore he took his daughter from him, and gave her to Demetrius, and forsook Alexander, so that their hatred was openly known.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:17 @ For Zabdiel the Arabian took off Alexander's head, and sent it unto Ptolemee.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:26 @ Yet the king entreated him as his predecessors had done before, and promoted him in the sight of all his friends,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:27 @ And confirmed him in the high priesthood, and in all the honours that he had before, and gave him preeminence among his chief friends.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:36 @ And nothing hereof shall be revoked from this time forth for ever.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:42 @ So Demetrius sent unto Jonathan, saying, I will not only do this for thee and thy people, but I will greatly honour thee and thy nation, if opportunity serve.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:43 @ Now therefore thou shalt do well, if thou send me men to help me; for all my forces are gone from me.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:46 @ Wherefore the king fled into the court, but they of the city kept the passages of the city, and began to fight.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:52 @ So king Demetrius sat on the throne of his kingdom, and the land was quiet before him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:1 @ Now when Jonathan saw that time served him, he chose certain men, and sent them to Rome, for to confirm and renew the friendship that they had with them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:2 @ He sent letters also to the Lacedemonians, and to other places, for the same purpose.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:11 @ We therefore at all times without ceasing, both in our feasts, and other convenient days, do remember you in the sacrifices which we offer, and in our prayers, as reason is, and as it becometh us to think upon our brethren:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:13 @ As for ourselves, we have had great troubles and wars on every side, forsomuch as the kings that are round about us have fought against us.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:15 @ For we have help from heaven that succoureth us, so as we are delivered from our enemies, and our enemies are brought under foot.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:18 @ Wherefore now ye shall do well to give us an answer thereto.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:22 @ Now therefore, since this is come to our knowledge, ye shall do well to write unto us of your prosperity.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:23 @ We do write back again to you, that your cattle and goods are our's, and our's are your's We do command therefore our ambassadors to make report unto you on this wise.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:24 @ Now when Jonathan heard that Demebius' princes were come to fight against him with a greater host than afore,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:25 @ He removed from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Amathis: for he gave them no respite to enter his country.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:27 @ Wherefore so soon as the sun was down, Jonathan commanded his men to watch, and to be in arms, that all the night long they might be ready to fight: also he sent forth centinels round about the host.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:28 @ But when the adversaries heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle, they feared, and trembled in their hearts, and they kindled fires in their camp.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:29 @ Howbeit Jonathan and his company knew it not till the morning: for they saw the lights burning.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:30 @ Then Jonathan pursued after them, but overtook them not: for they were gone over the river Eleutherus.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:31 @ Wherefore Jonathan turned to the Arabians, who were called Zabadeans, and smote them, and took their spoils.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:33 @ Simon also went forth, and passed through the country unto Ascalon, and the holds there adjoining, from whence he turned aside to Joppa, and won it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:34 @ For he had heard that they would deliver the hold unto them that took Demetrius' part; wherefore he set a garrison there to keep it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:40 @ Howbeit he was afraid that Jonathan would not suffer him, and that he would fight against him; wherefore he sought a way how to take Jonathan, that he might kill him. So he removed, and came to Bethsan.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:41 @ Then Jonathan went out to meet him with forty thousand men chosen for the battle, and came to Bethsan.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:42 @ Now when Tryphon saw Jonathan came with so great a force, he durst not stretch his hand against him;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:51 @ They therefore that followed upon them, perceiving that they were ready to fight for their lives, turned back again.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:53 @ Then all the heathen that were round about then sought to destroy them: for said they, They have no captain, nor any to help them: now therefore let us make war upon them, and take away their memorial from among men.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:3 @ And gave them exhortation, saying, Ye yourselves know what great things I, and my brethren, and my father's house, have done for the laws and the sanctuary, the battles also and troubles which we have seen.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:4 @ By reason whereof all my brethren are slain for Israel's sake, and I am left alone.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:15 @ Whereas we have Jonathan thy brother in hold, it is for money that he is owing unto the king's treasure, concerning the business that was committed unto him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:18 @ Who might have said, Because I sent him not the money and the children, therefore is Jonathan dead.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:26 @ And all Israel made great lamentation for him, and bewailed him many days.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:39 @ As for any oversight or fault committed unto this day, we forgive it, and the crown tax also, which ye owe us: and if there were any other tribute paid in Jerusalem, it shall no more be paid.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:1 @ Now in the hundred threescore and twelfth year king Demetrius gathered his forces together, and went into Media to get him help to fight against Tryphone.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:17 @ The thought of the floods of the sea came likewise to nought, for the sand stood up and stopped them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:19 @ I answered and said, Verily it is a foolish thought that they both have devised, for the ground is given unto the wood, and the sea also hath his place to bear his floods.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:21 @ For like as the ground is given unto the wood, and the sea to his floods: even so they that dwell upon the earth may understand nothing but that which is upon the earth: and he that dwelleth above the heavens may only understand the things that are above the height of the heavens.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:26 @ Then answered he me, and said, The more thou searchest, the more thou shalt marvel; for the world hasteth fast to pass away,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:27 @ And cannot comprehend the things that are promised to the righteous in time to come: for this world is full of unrighteousness and infirmities.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:28 @ But as concerning the things whereof thou askest me, I will tell thee; for the evil is sown, but the destruction thereof is not yet come.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:30 @ For the grain of evil seed hath been sown in the heart of Adam from the beginning, and how much ungodliness hath it brought up unto this time? and how much shall it yet bring forth until the time of threshing come?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:31 @ Ponder now by thyself, how great fruit of wickedness the grain of evil seed hath brought forth.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:33 @ Then I answered and said, How, and when shall these things come to pass? wherefore are our years few and evil?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:34 @ And he answered me, saying, Do not thou hasten above the most Highest: for thy haste is in vain to be above him, for thou hast much exceeded.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:36 @ And unto these things Uriel the archangel gave them answer, and said, Even when the number of seeds is filled in you: for he hath weighed the world in the balance.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:39 @ And for our sakes peradventure it is that the floors of the righteous are not filled, because of the sins of them that dwell upon the earth.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:42 @ For like as a woman that travaileth maketh haste to escape the necessity of the travail: even so do these places haste to deliver those things that are committed unto them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:49 @ After this there passed by before me a watery cloud, and sent down much rain with a storm; and when the stormy rain was past, the drops remained still.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:52 @ He answered me, and said, As for the tokens whereof thou askest me, I may tell thee of them in part: but as touching thy life, I am not sent to shew thee; for I do not know it.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:6 @ And even he shall rule, whom they look not for that dwell upon the earth, and the fowls shall take their flight away together:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:33 @ And I said, Speak on, my Lord. Then said he unto me, Thou art sore troubled in mind for Israel's sake: lovest thou that people better than he that made them?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:34 @ And I said, No, Lord: but of very grief have I spoken: for my reins pain me every hour, while I labour to comprehend the way of the most High, and to seek out part of his judgment.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:35 @ And he said unto me, Thou canst not. And I said, Wherefore, Lord? whereunto was I born then? or why was not my mother's womb then my grave, that I might not have seen the travail of Jacob, and the wearisome toil of the stock of Israel?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:37 @ Open me the places that are closed, and bring me forth the winds that in them are shut up, shew me the image of a voice: and then I will declare to thee the thing that thou labourest to know.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:39 @ As for me, I am unwise: how may I then speak of these things whereof thou askest me?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:41 @ And I said, Behold, O Lord, yet art thou nigh unto them that be reserved till the end: and what shall they do that have been before me, or we that be now, or they that shall come after us?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:43 @ So I answered and said, Couldest thou not make those that have been made, and be now, and that are for to come, at once; that thou mightest shew thy judgment the sooner?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:46 @ And he said unto me, Ask the womb of a woman, and say unto her, If thou bringest forth children, why dost thou it not together, but one after another? pray her therefore to bring forth ten children at once.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:49 @ For like as a young child may not bring forth the things that belong to the aged, even so have I disposed the world which I created.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:50 @ And I asked, and said, Seeing thou hast now given me the way, I will proceed to speak before thee: for our mother, of whom thou hast told me that she is young, draweth now nigh unto age.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:52 @ Say unto her, Wherefore are unto they whom thou hast now brought forth like those that were before, but less of stature?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:54 @ Consider thou therefore also, how that ye are less of stature than those that were before you.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:1 @ And he said unto me, In the beginning, when the earth was made, before the borders of the world stood, or ever the winds blew,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:16 @ And why? because the speech of these things trembleth and is moved: for it knoweth that the end of these things must be changed.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:20 @ And when the world, that shall begin to vanish away, shall be finished, then will I shew these tokens: the books shall be opened before the firmament, and they shall see all together:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:21 @ And the children of a year old shall speak with their voices, the women with child shall bring forth untimely children of three or four months old, and they shall live, and be raised up.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:36 @ And in the eighth night was my heart vexed within me again, and I began to speak before the most High.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:37 @ For my spirit was greatly set on fire, and my soul was in distress.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:39 @ And then was the spirit, and darkness and silence were on every side; the sound of man's voice was not yet formed.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:40 @ Then commandedst thou a fair light to come forth of thy treasures, that thy work might appear.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:43 @ For as soon as thy word went forth the work was made.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:44 @ For immediately there was great and innumerable fruit, and many and divers pleasures for the taste, and flowers of unchangeable colour, and odours of wonderful smell: and this was done the third day.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:47 @ Upon the fifth day thou saidst unto the seventh part, where the waters were gathered that it should bring forth living creatures, fowls and fishes: and so it came to pass.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:48 @ For the dumb water and without life brought forth living things at the commandment of God, that all people might praise thy wondrous works.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:50 @ And didst separate the one from the other: for the seventh part, namely, where the water was gathered together, might not hold them both.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:53 @ Upon the sixth day thou gavest commandment unto the earth, that before thee it should bring forth beasts, cattle, and creeping things:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:55 @ All this have I spoken before thee, O Lord, because thou madest the world for our sakes

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:56 @ As for the other people, which also come of Adam, thou hast said that they are nothing, but be like unto spittle: and hast likened the abundance of them unto a drop that falleth from a vessel.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:59 @ If the world now be made for our sakes, why do we not possess an inheritance with the world? how long shall this endure?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:1 @ And when I had made an end of speaking these words, there was sent unto me the angel which had been sent unto me the nights afore:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:9 @ If this city now were given unto a man for an inheritance, if he never shall pass the danger set before it, how shall he receive this inheritance?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:11 @ Because for their sakes I made the world: and when Adam transgressed my statutes, then was decreed that now is done.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:13 @ For the entrances of the elder world were wide and sure, and brought immortal fruit.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:14 @ If then they that live labour not to enter these strait and vain things, they can never receive those that are laid up for them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:15 @ Now therefore why disquietest thou thyself, seeing thou art but a corruptible man? and why art thou moved, whereas thou art but mortal?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:18 @ Nevertheless the righteous shall suffer strait things, and hope for wide: for they that have done wickedly have suffered the strait things, and yet shall not see the wide.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:20 @ For there be many that perish in this life, because they despise the law of God that is set before them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:21 @ For God hath given strait commandment to such as came, what they should do to live, even as they came, and what they should observe to avoid punishment.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:24 @ But his law have they despised, and denied his covenants; in his statutes have they not been faithful, and have not performed his works.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:25 @ And therefore, Esdras, for the empty are empty things, and for the full are the full things.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:26 @ Behold, the time shall come, that these tokens which I have told thee shall come to pass, and the bride shall appear, and she coming forth shall be seen, that now is withdrawn from the earth.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:27 @ And whosoever is delivered from the foresaid evils shall see my wonders.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:28 @ For my son Jesus shall be revealed with those that be with him, and they that remain shall rejoice within four hundred years.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:30 @ And the world shall be turned into the old silence seven days, like as in the former judgments: so that no man shall remain.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:35 @ And the work shall follow, and the reward shall be shewed, and the good deeds shall be of force, and wicked deeds shall bear no rule.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:36 @ Then said I, Abraham prayed first for the Sodomites, and Moses for the fathers that sinned in the wilderness:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:37 @ And Jesus after him for Israel in the time of Achan:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:38 @ And Samuel and David for the destruction: and Solomon for them that should come to the sanctuary:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:39 @ And Helias for those that received rain; and for the dead, that he might live:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:40 @ And Ezechias for the people in the time of Sennacherib: and many for many.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:41 @ Even so now, seeing corruption is grown up, and wickedness increased, and the righteous have prayed for the ungodly: wherefore shall it not be so now also?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:42 @ He answered me, and said, This present life is not the end where much glory doth abide; therefore have they prayed for the weak.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:43 @ But the day of doom shall be the end of this time, and the beginning of the immortality for to come, wherein corruption is past,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:47 @ For what profit is it for men now in this present time to live in heaviness, and after death to look for punishment?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:48 @ O thou Adam, what hast thou done? for though it was thou that sinned, thou art not fallen alone, but we all that come of thee.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:49 @ For what profit is it unto us, if there be promised us an immortal time, whereas we have done the works that bring death?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:51 @ And that there are laid up for us dwellings of health and safety, whereas we have lived wickedly?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:53 @ And that there should be shewed a paradise, whose fruit endureth for ever, wherein is security and medicine, since we shall not enter into it?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:54 @ (For we have walked in unpleasant places.)

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:56 @ For while we lived and committed iniquity, we considered not that we should begin to suffer for it after death.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:59 @ For this is the life whereof Moses spake unto the people while he lived, saying, Choose thee life, that thou mayest live.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:65 @ And that he is bountiful, for he is ready to give where it needeth;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:66 @ And that he is of great mercy, for he multiplieth more and more mercies to them that are present, and that are past, and also to them which are to come.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:67 @ For if he shall not multiply his mercies, the world would not continue with them that inherit therein.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:68 @ And he pardoneth; for if he did not so of his goodness, that they which have committed iniquities might be eased of them, the ten thousandth part of men should not remain living.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:69 @ And being judge, if he should not forgive them that are cured with his word, and put out the multitude of contentions,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:1 @ And he answered me, saying, The most High hath made this world for many, but the world to come for few.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:5 @ For thou hast agreed to give ear, and art willing to prophesy: for thou hast no longer space than only to live.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:6 @ O Lord, if thou suffer not thy servant, that we may pray before thee, and thou give us seed unto our heart, and culture to our understanding, that there may come fruit of it; how shall each man live that is corrupt, who beareth the place of a man?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:7 @ For thou art alone, and we all one workmanship of thine hands, like as thou hast said.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:8 @ For when the body is fashioned now in the mother's womb, and thou givest it members, thy creature is preserved in fire and water, and nine months doth thy workmanship endure thy creature which is created in her.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:10 @ For thou hast commanded out of the parts of the body, that is to say, out of the breasts, milk to be given, which is the fruit of the breasts,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:11 @ That the thing which is fashioned may be nourished for a time, till thou disposest it to thy mercy.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:12 @ Thou broughtest it up with thy righteousness, and nurturedst it in thy law, and reformedst it with thy judgment.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:14 @ If therefore thou shalt destroy him which with so great labour was fashioned, it is an easy thing to be ordained by thy commandment, that the thing which was made might be preserved.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:15 @ Now therefore, Lord, I will speak; touching man in general, thou knowest best; but touching thy people, for whose sake I am sorry;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:16 @ And for thine inheritance, for whose cause I mourn; and for Israel, for whom I am heavy; and for Jacob, for whose sake I am troubled;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:17 @ Therefore will I begin to pray before thee for myself and for them: for I see the falls of us that dwell in the land.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:19 @ Therefore hear my voice, and understand my words, and I shall speak before thee. This is the beginning of the words of Esdras, before he was taken up: and I said,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:21 @ Whose throne is inestimable; whose glory may not be comprehended; before whom the hosts of angels stand with trembling,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:25 @ For while I live I will speak, and so long as I have understanding I will answer.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:28 @ Think not upon those that have walked feignedly before thee: but remember them, which according to thy will have known thy fear.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:31 @ For we and our fathers do languish of such diseases: but because of us sinners thou shalt be called merciful.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:32 @ For if thou hast a desire to have mercy upon us, thou shalt be called merciful, to us namely, that have no works of righteousness.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:33 @ For the just, which have many good works laid up with thee, shall out of their own deeds receive reward.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:34 @ For what is man, that thou shouldest take displeasure at him? or what is a corruptible generation, that thou shouldest be so bitter toward it?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:35 @ For in truth them is no man among them that be born, but he hath dealt wickedly; and among the faithful there is none which hath not done amiss.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:36 @ For in this, O Lord, thy righteousness and thy goodness shall be declared, if thou be merciful unto them which have not the confidence of good works.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:38 @ For indeed I will not think on the disposition of them which have sinned before death, before judgment, before destruction:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:41 @ For as the husbandman soweth much seed upon the ground, and planteth many trees, and yet the thing that is sown good in his season cometh not up, neither doth all that is planted take root: even so is it of them that are sown in the world; they shall not all be saved.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:44 @ Even so perisheth man also, which is formed with thy hands, and is called thine own image, because thou art like unto him, for whose sake thou hast made all things, and likened him unto the husbandman's seed.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:45 @ Be not wroth with us but spare thy people, and have mercy upon thine own inheritance: for thou art merciful unto thy creature.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:46 @ Then answered he me, and said, Things present are for the present, and things to cometh for such as be to come.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:47 @ For thou comest far short that thou shouldest be able to love my creature more than I: but I have ofttimes drawn nigh unto thee, and unto it, but never to the unrighteous.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:48 @ In this also thou art marvellous before the most High:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:50 @ For many great miseries shall be done to them that in the latter time shall dwell in the world, because they have walked in great pride.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:51 @ But understand thou for thyself, and seek out the glory for such as be like thee.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:52 @ For unto you is paradise opened, the tree of life is planted, the time to come is prepared, plenteousness is made ready, a city is builded, and rest is allowed, yea, perfect goodness and wisdom.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:53 @ The root of evil is sealed up from you, weakness and the moth is hid from you, and corruption is fled into hell to be forgotten:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:55 @ And therefore ask thou no more questions concerning the multitude of them that perish.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:56 @ For when they had taken liberty, they despised the most High, thought scorn of his law, and forsook his ways.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:59 @ For as the things aforesaid shalt receive you, so thirst and pain are prepared for them: for it was not his will that men should come to nought:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:60 @ But they which be created have defiled the name of him that made them, and were unthankful unto him which prepared life for them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:61 @ And therefore is my judgment now at hand.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:1 @ He answered me then, and said, Measure thou the time diligently in itself: and when thou seest part of the signs past, which I have told thee before,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:3 @ Therefore when there shall be seen earthquakes and uproars of the people in the world:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:4 @ Then shalt thou well understand, that the most High spake of those things from the days that were before thee, even from the beginning.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:5 @ For like as all that is made in the world hath a beginning and an end, and the end is manifest:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:8 @ Shall be preserved from the said perils, and shall see my salvation in my land, and within my borders: for I have sanctified them for me from the beginning.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:10 @ For such as in their life have received benefits, and have not known me;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:13 @ And therefore be thou not curious how the ungodly shall be punished, and when: but enquire how the righteous shall be saved, whose the world is, and for whom the world is created.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:15 @ I have said before, and now do speak, and will speak it also hereafter, that there be many more of them which perish, than of them which shall be saved:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:17 @ And he answered me, saying, Like as the field is, so is also the seed; as the flowers be, such are the colours also; such as the workman is, such also is the work; and as the husbandman ls himself, so is his husbandry also: for it was the time of the world.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:18 @ And now when I prepared the world, which was not yet made, even for them to dwell in that now live, no man spake against me.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:19 @ For then every one obeyed: but now the manners of them which are created in this world that is made are corrupted by a perpetual seed, and by a law which is unsearchable rid themselves.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:22 @ Let the multitude perish then, which was born in vain; and let my grape be kept, and my plant; for with great labour have I made it perfect.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:27 @ After seven days I sat upon the grass, and my heart was vexed within me, like as before:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:28 @ And I opened my mouth, and began to talk before the most High, and said,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:31 @ For, behold, I sow my law in you, and it shall bring fruit in you, and ye shall be honoured in it for ever.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:32 @ But our fathers, which received the law, kept it not, and observed not thy ordinances: and though the fruit of thy law did not perish, neither could it, for it was thine;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:36 @ For we that have received the law perish by sin, and our heart also which received it

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:37 @ Notwithstanding the law perisheth not, but remaineth in his force.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:40 @ And said unto her, Wherefore weepest thou? why art thou so grieved in thy mind?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:41 @ And she said unto me, Sir, let me alone, that I may bewail myself, and add unto my sorrow, for I am sore vexed in my mind, and brought very low.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:2 @ Then we all overthrew the lights, and all my neighbours rose up to comfort me: so I took my rest unto the second day at night.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:3 @ And it came to pass, when they had all left off to comfort me, to the end I might be quiet; then rose I up by night and fled, and came hither into this field, as thou seest.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:8 @ And now, seeing we all mourn and are sad, for we are all in heaviness, art thou grieved for one son?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:9 @ For ask the earth, and she shall tell thee, that it is she which ought to mourn for the fall of so many that grow upon her.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:10 @ For out of her came all at the first, and out of her shall all others come, and, behold, they walk almost all into destruction, and a multitude of them is utterly rooted out.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:11 @ Who then should make more mourning than she, that hath lost so great a multitude; and not thou, which art sorry but for one?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:12 @ But if thou sayest unto me, My lamentation is not like the earth's, because I have lost the fruit of my womb, which I brought forth with pains, and bare with sorrows;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:13 @ But the earth not so: for the multitude present in it according to the course of the earth is gone, as it came:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:14 @ Then say I unto thee, Like as thou hast brought forth with labour; even so the earth also hath given her fruit, namely, man, ever since the beginning unto him that made her.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:15 @ Now therefore keep thy sorrow to thyself, and bear with a good courage that which hath befallen thee.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:16 @ For if thou shalt acknowledge the determination of God to be just, thou shalt both receive thy son in time, and shalt be commended among women.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:20 @ Do not so, but be counselled. by me: for how many are the adversities of Sion? be comforted in regard of the sorrow of Jerusalem.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:21 @ For thou seest that our sanctuary is laid waste, our altar broken down, our temple destroyed;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:23 @ And, which is the greatest of all, the seal of Sion hath now lost her honour; for she is delivered into the hands of them that hate us.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:24 @ And therefore shake off thy great heaviness, and put away the multitude of sorrows, that the Mighty may be merciful unto thee again, and the Highest shall give thee rest and ease from thy labour.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:28 @ Where is Uriel the angel, who came unto me at the first? for he hath caused me to fall into many trances, and mine end is turned into corruption, and my prayer to rebuke.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:30 @ And, lo, I lay as one that had been dead, and mine understanding was taken from me: and he took me by the right hand, and comforted me, and set me upon my feet, and said unto me,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:32 @ And I said, Because thou hast forsaken me, and yet I did according to thy words, and I went into the field, and, lo, I have seen, and yet see, that I am not able to express.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:34 @ Then said I, Speak on, my lord, in me; only forsake me not, lest I die frustrate of my hope.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:35 @ For I have seen that I knew not, and hear that I do not know.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:37 @ Now therefore I beseech thee that thou wilt shew thy servant of this vision.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:38 @ He answered me then, and said, Hear me, and I shall inform thee, and tell thee wherefore thou art afraid: for the Highest will reveal many secret things unto thee.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:39 @ He hath seen that thy way is right: for that thou sorrowest continually for thy people, and makest great lamentation for Sion.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:40 @ This therefore is the meaning of the vision which thou lately sawest:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:41 @ Thou sawest a woman mourning, and thou begannest to comfort her:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:49 @ And, behold, thou sawest her likeness, and because she mourned for her son, thou begannest to comfort her: and of these things which have chanced, these are to be opened unto thee.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:50 @ For now the most High seeth that thou art grieved unfeignedly, and sufferest from thy whole heart for her, so hath he shewed thee the brightness of her glory, and the comeliness of her beauty:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:51 @ And therefore I bade thee remain in the field where no house was builded:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:52 @ For I knew that the Highest would shew this unto thee.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:53 @ Therefore I commanded thee to go into the field, where no foundation of any building was.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:54 @ For in the place wherein the Highest beginneth to shew his city, there can no man's building be able to stand.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:55 @ And therefore fear not, let not thine heart be affrighted, but go thy way in, and see the beauty and greatness of the building, as much as thine eyes be able to see:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:57 @ For thou art blessed above many other, and art called with the Highest; and so are but few.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:9 @ But let the heads be preserved for the last.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:16 @ Hear thou that hast borne rule over the earth so long: this I say unto thee, before thou beginnest to appear no more,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:18 @ Then arose the third, and reigned as the other before, and appeared no more also.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:21 @ For some of them were set up, but ruled not.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:24 @ Then saw I also that two little feathers divided themselves from the six, and remained under the head that was upon the right side: for the four continued in their place.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:29 @ And when they so thought, behold, there awaked one of the heads that were at rest, namely, it that was in the midst; for that was greater than the two other heads.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:36 @ Then I head a voice, which said unto me, Look before thee, and consider the thing that thou seest.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:41 @ For the earth hast thou not judged with truth.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:42 @ For thou hast afflicted the meek, thou hast hurt the peaceable, thou hast loved liars, and destroyed the dwellings of them that brought forth fruit, and hast cast down the walls of such as did thee no harm.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:43 @ Therefore is thy wrongful dealing come up unto the Highest, and thy pride unto the Mighty.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:45 @ And therefore appear no more, thou eagle, nor thy horrible wings, nor thy wicked feathers nor thy malicious heads, nor thy hurtful claws, nor all thy vain body:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:46 @ That all the earth may be refreshed, and may return, being delivered from thy violence, and that she may hope for the judgment and mercy of him that made her.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:5 @ Lo, yet am I weary in my mind, and very weak in my spirit; and little strength is there in me, for the great fear wherewith I was afflicted this night.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:6 @ Therefore will I now beseech the Highest, that he will comfort me unto the end.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:7 @ And I said, Lord that bearest rule, if I have found grace before thy sight, and if I am justified with thee before many others, and if my prayer indeed be come up before thy face;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:8 @ Comfort me then, and shew me thy servant the interpretation and plain difference of this fearful vision, that thou mayest perfectly comfort my soul.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:9 @ For thou hast judged me worthy to shew me the last times.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:12 @ But it was not expounded unto him, therefore now I declare it unto thee.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:13 @ Behold, the days will come, that there shall rise up a kingdom upon earth, and it shall be feared above all the kingdoms that were before it.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:17 @ As for the voice which thou heardest speak, and that thou sawest not to go out from the heads but from the midst of the body thereof, this is the interpretation:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:24 @ And of those that dwell therein, with much oppression, above all those that were before them: therefore are they called the heads of the eagle.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:25 @ For these are they that shall accomplish his wickedness, and that shall finish his last end.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:27 @ For the two that remain shall be slain with the sword.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:28 @ For the sword of the one shall devour the other: but at the last shall he fall through the sword himself.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:31 @ And the lion, whom thou sawest rising up out of the wood, and roaring, and speaking to the eagle, and rebuking her for her unrighteousness with all the words which thou hast heard;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:32 @ This is the anointed, which the Highest hath kept for them and for their wickedness unto the end: he shall reprove them, and shall upbraid them with their cruelty.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:33 @ For he shall set them before him alive in judgment, and shall rebuke them, and correct them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:34 @ For the rest of my people shall he deliver with mercy, those that have been pressed upon my borders, and he shall make them joyful until the coming of the day of judgment, whereof I have spoken unto thee from the the beginning.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:37 @ Therefore write all these things that thou hast seen in a book, and hide them:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:41 @ What have we offended thee? and what evil have we done against thee, that thou forsakest us, and sittest here in this place?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:42 @ For of all the prophets thou only art left us, as a cluster of the vintage, and as a candle in a dark place, and as a haven or ship preserved from the tempest.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:44 @ If thou shalt forsake us, how much better had it been for us, if we also had been burned in the midst of Sion?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:45 @ For we are not better than they that died there. And they wept with a loud voice. Then answered I them, and said,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:46 @ Be of good comfort, O Israel; and be not heavy, thou house of Jacob:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:48 @ As for me, I have not forsaken you, neither am I departed from you: but am come into this place, to pray for the desolation of Sion, and that I might seek mercy for the low estate of your sanctuary.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:16 @ For as I conceive in mine understanding, woe unto them that shall be left in those days and much more woe unto them that are not left behind!

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:22 @ When this was done, and the time came that the sun shone, which afore was hid in the cloud, there was a great fire kindled, so that every man marvelled.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:10 @ Then the high priest told him that there was such money laid up for the relief of widows and fatherless children:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:14 @ So at the day which he appointed he entered in to order this matter: wherefore there was no small agony throughout the whole city.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:15 @ But the priests, prostrating themselves before the altar in their priests' vestments, called unto heaven upon him that made a law concerning things given to he kept, that they should safely be preserved for such as had committed them to be kept.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:26 @ Moreover two other young men appeared before him, notable in strength, excellent in beauty, and comely in apparel, who stood by him on either side; and scourged him continually, and gave him many sore stripes.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:29 @ For he by the hand of God was cast down, and lay speechless without all hope of life.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:33 @ Now as the high priest was making an atonement, the same young men in the same clothing appeared and stood beside Heliodorus, saying, Give Onias the high priest great thanks, insomuch as for his sake the Lord hath granted thee life:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:31 @ Then came the king in all haste to appease matters, leaving Andronicus, a man in authority, for his deputy.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:38 @ And being kindled with anger, forthwith he took away Andronicus his purple, and rent off his clothes, and leading him through the whole city unto that very place, where he had committed impiety against Onias, there slew he the cursed murderer.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:43 @ Of these matters therefore there was an accusation laid against Menelaus.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:44 @ Now when the king came to Tyrus, three men that were sent from the senate pleaded the cause before him:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:48 @ Thus they that followed the matter for the city, and for the people, and for the holy vessels, did soon suffer unjust punishment.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:49 @ Wherefore even they of Tyrus, moved with hatred of that wicked deed, caused them to be honourably buried.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:4 @ Wherefore every man prayed that that apparition might turn to good.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:5 @ Now when there was gone forth a false rumour, as though Antiochus had been dead, Jason took at the least a thousand men, and suddenly made an assault upon the city; and they that were upon the walls being put back, and the city at length taken, Menelaus fled into the castle:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:10 @ And he that had cast out many unburied had none to mourn for him, nor any solemn funerals at all, nor sepulchre with his fathers.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:18 @ For had they not been formerly wrapped in many sins, this man, as soon as he had come, had forthwith been scourged, and put back from his presumption, as Heliodorus was, whom Seleucus the king sent to view the treasury.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:19 @ Nevertheless God did not choose the people for the place's sake, but the place far the people's sake.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:5 @ The altar also was filled with profane things, which the law forbiddeth.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:6 @ Neither was it lawful for a man to keep sabbath days or ancient fasts, or to profess himself at all to be a Jew.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:10 @ For there were two women brought, who had circumcised their children; whom when they had openly led round about the city, the babes handing at their breasts, they cast them down headlong from the wall.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:13 @ For it is a token of his great goodness, when wicked doers are not suffered any long time, but forthwith punished.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:16 @ And therefore he never withdraweth his mercy from us: and though he punish with adversity, yet doth he never forsake his people.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:22 @ That in so doing he might be delivered from death, and for the old friendship with them find favour.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:24 @ For it becometh not our age, said he, in any wise to dissemble, whereby many young persons might think that Eleazar, being fourscore years old and ten, were now gone to a strange religion;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:27 @ Wherefore now, manfully changing this life, I will shew myself such an one as mine age requireth,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:28 @ And leave a notable example to such as be young to die willingly and courageously for the honourable and holy laws. And when he had said these words, immediately he went to the torment:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:29 @ They that led him changing the good will they bare him a little before into hatred, because the foresaid speeches proceeded, as they thought, from a desperate mind.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:6 @ The Lord God looketh upon us, and in truth hath comfort in us, as Moses in his song, which witnessed to their faces, declared, saying, And he shall be comforted in his servants.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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?

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:8 @ But he answered in his own language, and said, No. Wherefore he also received the next torment in order, as the former did.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:10 @ After him was the third made a mocking stock: and when he was required, he put out his tongue, and that right soon, holding forth his hands manfully.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:11 @ And said courageously, These I had from heaven; and for his laws I despise them; and from him I hope to receive them again.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:12 @ Insomuch that the king, and they that were with him, marvelled at the young man's courage, for that he nothing regarded the pains.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:14 @ So when he was ready to die he said thus, It is good, being put to death by men, to look for hope from God to be raised up again by him: as for thee, thou shalt have no resurrection to life.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:18 @ After him also they brought the sixth, who being ready to die said, Be not deceived without cause: for we suffer these things for ourselves, having sinned against our God: therefore marvellous things are done unto us.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:32 @ For we suffer because of our sins.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:33 @ And though the living Lord be angry with us a little while for our chastening and correction, yet shall he be at one again with his servants.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:35 @ For thou hast not yet escaped the judgment of Almighty God, who seeth all things.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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 judgment of God, shalt receive just punishment for thy pride.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:14 @ Others sold all that they had left, and withal besought the Lord to deliver them, sold by the wicked Nicanor before they met together:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:15 @ And if not for their own sakes, yet for the covenants he had made with their fathers, and for his holy and glorious name's sake, by which they were called.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:18 @ For they, said he, trust in their weapons and boldness; but our confidence is in the Almighty who at a beck can cast down both them that come against us, and also all the world.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:19 @ Moreover, he recounted unto them what helps their forefathers had found, and how they were delivered, when under Sennacherib an hundred fourscore and five thousand perished.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:21 @ Thus when he had made them bold with these words, and ready to die for the law and the country, he divided his army into four parts;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:26 @ For it was the day before the sabbath, and therefore they would no longer pursue them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:29 @ When this was done, and they had made a common supplication, they besought the merciful Lord to be reconciled with his servants for ever.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:33 @ Furthermore at such time as they kept the feast for the victory in their country they burnt Callisthenes, that had set fire upon the holy gates, who had fled into a little house; and so he received a reward meet for his wickedness.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:34 @ As for that most ungracious Nicanor, who had brought a thousand merchants to buy the Jews,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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 judgment 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 Jew s.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:6 @ And that most justly: for he had tormented other men's bowels with many and strange torments.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:18 @ But for all this his pains would not cease: for the just judgment 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:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:26 @ Therefore I pray and request you to remember the benefits that I have done unto you generally, and in special, and that every man will be still faithful to me and my son.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:27 @ For I am persuaded that he understanding my mind will favourably and graciously yield to your desires.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:7 @ Therefore they bare branches, and fair boughs, and palms also, and sang psalms unto him that had given them good success in cleansing his place.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:12 @ For Ptolemeus, that was called Macron, choosing rather to do justice unto the Jews for the wrong that had been done unto them, endeavoured to continue peace with them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:32 @ As for Timotheus himself, he fled into a very strong hold, called Gawra, where Chereas was governor.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:33 @ But they that were with Maccabeus laid siege against the fortress courageously four days.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:38 @ When this was done, they praised the Lord with psalms and thanksgiving, who had done so great things for Israel, and given them the victory.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:1 @ Not long after the, Lysias the king's protector and cousin, who also managed the affairs, took sore displeasure for the things that were done.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:8 @ And as they were at Jerusalem, there appeared before them on horseback one in white clothing, shaking his armour of gold.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:10 @ Thus they marched forward in their armour, having an helper from heaven: for the Lord was merciful unto them

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:16 @ For there were letters written unto the Jews from Lysias to this effect: Lysias unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:18 @ But as for Timotheus, they found him not in the places: for before he had dispatched any thing, he departed from thence, having left a very strong garrison in a certain hold.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:26 @ Then Maccabeus marched forth to Carnion, and to the temple of Atargatis, and there he slew five and twenty thousand persons.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:32 @ And after the feast, called Pentecost, they went forth against Gorgias the governor of Idumea,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:1 @ [A Prologue made by an uncertain Author] This Jesus was the son of Sira, and grandchild to Jesus of the same name with him: this man therefore lived in the latter times, after the people had been led away captive, and called home a again, and almost after all the prophets. Now his grandfather Jesus, as he himself witnesseth, was a man of great diligence and wisdom among the Hebrews, who did not only gather the grave and short sentences of wise men, that had been before him, but himself also uttered some of his own, full of much understanding and wisdom. When as therefore the first Jesus died, leaving this book almost perfected, BenSira his son receiving it after him left it to his own son Jesus, who, having gotten it into his hands, compiled it all orderly into one volume, and called it Wisdom, intituling it both by his own name, his father's name, and his grandfather's; alluring the hearer by the very name of Wisdom to have a greater love to the study of this book. It containeth therefore wise sayings, dark sentences, and parables, and certain particular ancient godly stories of men that pleased God; also his prayer and song; moreover, what benefits God had vouchsafed his people, and what plagues he had heaped upon their enemies. This Jesus did imitate Solomon, and was no less famous for wisdom and learning, both being indeed a man of great learning, and so reputed also. [The Prologue of the Wisdom of Jesus the Son of BenSira.] Whereas many and great things have been delivered unto us by the law and the prophets, and by others that have followed their steps, for the which things Israel ought to be commended for learning and wisdom; and whereof not only the readers must needs become skilful themselves, but also they that desire to learn be able to profit them which are without, both by speaking and writing: my grandfather Jesus, when he had much given himself to the reading of the law, and the prophets, and other books of our fathers, and had gotten therein good judgment, was drawn on also himself to write something pertaining to learning and wisdom; to the intent that those which are desirous to learn, and are addicted to these things, might profit much more in living according to the law. Wherefore let me intreat you to read it with favour and attention, and to pardon us, wherein we may seem to come short of some words, which we have laboured to interpret. For the same things uttered in Hebrew, and translated into another tongue, have not the same force in them: and not only these things, but the law itself, and the prophets, and the rest of the books, have no small difference, when they are spoken in their own language. For in the eight and thirtieth year coming into Egypt, when Euergetes was king, and continuing there some time, I found a book of no small learning: therefore I thought it most necessary for me to bestow some diligence and travail to interpret it; using great watchfulness and skill in that space to bring the book to an end, and set it forth for them also, which in a strange country are willing to learn, being prepared before in manners to live after the law.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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,

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:7:25 @ For now we have no helper: but God hath sold us into their hands, that we should be thrown down before them with thirst and great destruction.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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;

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:8:15 @ For if he will not help us within these five days, he hath power to defend us when he will, even every day, or to destroy us before our enemies.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:8:18 @ For there arose none in our age, neither is there any now in these days neither tribe, nor family, nor people, nor city among us, which worship gods made with hands, as hath been aforetime.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:8:19 @ For the which cause our fathers were given to the sword, and for a spoil, and had a great fall before our enemies.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:8:21 @ For if we be taken so, all Judea shall lie waste, and our sanctuary shall be spoiled; and he will require the profanation thereof at our mouth.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:8:23 @ For our servitude shall not be directed to favour: but the Lord our God shall turn it to dishonour.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:8:24 @ Now therefore, O brethren, let us shew an example to our brethren, because their hearts depend upon us, and the sanctuary, and the house, and the altar, rest upon us.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:8:31 @ Therefore now pray thou for us, because thou art a godly woman, and the Lord will send us rain to fill our cisterns, and we shall faint no more.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:8:33 @ Ye shall stand this night in the gate, and I will go forth with my waitingwoman: and within the days that ye have promised to deliver the city to our enemies the Lord will visit Israel by mine hand.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:8:35 @ Then said Ozias and the princes unto her, Go in peace, and the Lord God be before thee, to take vengeance on our enemies.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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:

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:9:3 @ Wherefore thou gavest their rulers to be slain, so that they dyed their bed in blood, being deceived, and smotest the servants with their lords, and the lords upon their thrones;

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:9:5 @ For thou hast wrought not only those things, but also the things which fell out before, and which ensued after; thou hast thought upon the things which are now, and which are to come.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:9:6 @ Yea, what things thou didst determine were ready at hand, and said, Lo, we are here: for all thy ways are prepared, and thy judgments are in thy foreknowledge.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:10:11 @ Thus they went straight forth in the valley: and the first watch of the Assyrians met her,

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:10:12 @ And took her, and asked her, Of what people art thou? and whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? And she said, I am a woman of the Hebrews, and am fled from them: for they shall be given you to be consumed:

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:10:15 @ Thou hast saved thy life, in that thou hast hasted to come down to the presence of our lord: now therefore come to his tent, and some of us shall conduct thee, until they have delivered thee to his hands.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:10:16 @ And when thou standest before him, be not afraid in thine heart, but shew unto him according to thy word; and he will entreat thee well.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:11:2 @ Now therefore, if thy people that dwelleth in the mountains had not set light by me, I would not have lifted up my spear against them: but they have done these things to themselves.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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:

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:11:10 @ Therefore, O lord and governor, respect not his word; but lay it up in thine heart, for it is true: for our nation shall not be punished, neither can sword prevail against them, except they sin against their God.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:11:12 @ For their victuals fail them, and all their water is scant, and they have determined to lay hands upon their cattle, and purposed to consume all those things, that God hath forbidden them to eat by his laws:

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:11:14 @ For they have sent some to Jerusalem, because they also that dwell there have done the like, to bring them a licence from the senate.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:11:15 @ Now when they shall bring them word, they will forthwith do it, and they shall be given to thee to be destroyed the same day.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:11:16 @ Wherefore I thine handmaid, knowing all this, am fled from their presence; and God hath sent me to work things with thee, whereat all the earth shall be astonished, and whosoever shall hear it.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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:

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:11:22 @ Likewise Holofernes said unto her. God hath done well to send thee before the people, that strength might be in our hands and destruction upon them that lightly regard my lord.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:12:4 @ Then said Judith unto him As thy soul liveth, my lord, thine handmaid shall not spend those things that I have, before the Lord work by mine hand the things that he hath determined.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:12:6 @ And sent to Holofernes, saving, Let my lord now command that thine handmaid may go forth unto prayer.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:12:12 @ For, lo, it will be a shame for our person, if we shall let such a woman go, not having had her company; for if we draw her not unto us, she will laugh us to scorn.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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 far her daily use, that she might sit and eat upon them.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:12:16 @ Now when Judith came in and sat down, Holofernes his heart was ravished with her, and his mind was moved, and he desired greatly her company; for he waited a time to deceive her, from the day that he had seen her.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:12:19 @ Then she took and ate and drank before him what her maid had prepared.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:13:2 @ And Judith was left along in the tent, and Holofernes lying along upon his bed: for he was filled with wine.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:13:3 @ Now Judith had commanded her maid to stand without her bedchamber, and to wait for her. coming forth, as she did daily: for she said she would go forth to her prayers, and she spake to Bagoas according to the same purpose.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:13:9 @ And tumbled his body down from the bed, and pulled down the canopy from the pillars; and anon after she went forth, and gave Holofernes his head to her maid;

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:13:11 @ Then said Judith afar off, to the watchmen at the gate, Open, open now the gate: God, even our God, is with us, to shew his power yet in Jerusalem, and his forces against the enemy, as he hath even done this day.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:13:13 @ And then they ran all together, both small and great, for it was strange unto them that she was come: so they opened the gate, and received them, and made a fire for a light, and stood round about them.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:14:16 @ Therefore he cried with a loud voice, with weeping, and sighing, and a mighty cry, and rent his garments.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:16:11 @ Then my afflicted shouted for joy, and my weak ones cried aloud; but they were astonished: these lifted up their voices, but they were overthrown.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:16:14 @ Let all creatures serve thee: for thou spakest, and they were made, thou didst send forth thy spirit, and it created them, and there is none that can resist thy voice.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:16:15 @ For the mountains shall be moved from their foundations with the waters, the rocks shall melt as wax at thy presence: yet thou art merciful to them that fear thee.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:16:16 @ For all sacrifice is too little for a sweet savour unto thee, and all the fat is not sufficient for thy burnt offering: but he that feareth the Lord is great at all times.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah: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.

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah: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.

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah:6:30 @ For how can they be called gods? because women set meat before the gods of silver, gold, and wood.

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah:6:32 @ They roar and cry before their gods, as men do at the feast when one is dead.

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah:6:54 @ Neither can they judge their own cause, nor redress a wrong, being unable: for they are as crows between heaven and earth.

apocrypha_kjv@PrayerOfManasses:1 @ O Lord, Almighty God of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and of their righteous seed; who hast made heaven and earth, with all the ornament thereof; 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; whom all men fear, and tremble before thy power; for the majesty of thy glory cannot be borne, and thine angry threatening toward sinners is importable: but thy merciful promise is unmeasurable and unsearchable; 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. 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: 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. I am bowed down with many iron bands, that I cannot life up mine head, neither have any release: for I have provoked thy wrath, and done evil before thee: I did not thy will, neither kept I thy commandments: I have set up abominations, and have multiplied offences. Now therefore I bow the knee of mine heart, beseeching thee of grace. I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, and I acknowledge mine iniquities: wherefore, I humbly beseech thee, forgive me, O Lord, forgive me, and destroy me not with mine iniquites. 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; and in me thou wilt shew all thy goodness: for thou wilt save me, that am unworthy, according to thy great mercy. 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.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:20 @ Behold, the garden doors are shut, that no man can see us, and we are in love with thee; therefore consent unto us, and lie with us.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:21 @ If thou wilt not, we will bear witness against thee, that a young man was with thee: and therefore thou didst send away thy maids from thee.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:22 @ Then Susanna sighed, and said, I am straitened on every side: for if I do this thing, it is death unto me: and if I do it not I cannot escape your hands.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:32 @ And these wicked men commanded to uncover her face, (for she was covered) that they might be filled with her beauty.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:42 @ Then Susanna cried out with a loud voice, and said, O everlasting God, that knowest the secrets, and knowest all things before they be:

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna: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:

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:49 @ Return again to the place of judgment: for they have borne false witness against her.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:53 @ For thou hast pronounced false judgment and hast condemned the innocent and hast let the guilty go free; albeit the Lord saith, The innocent and righteous shalt thou not slay.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:58 @ Now therefore tell me, Under what tree didst thou take them companying together? Who answered, Under an holm tree.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:61 @ And they arose against the two elders, for Daniel had convicted them of false witness by their own mouth:

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:63 @ Therefore Chelcias and his wife praised God for their daughter Susanna, with Joacim her husband, and all the kindred, because there was no dishonesty found in her.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:1:13 @ And the most High gave me grace and favour before Enemessar, so that I was his purveyor.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:1:20 @ Then all my goods were forcibly taken away, neither was there any thing left me, beside my wife Anna and my son Tobias.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:2:8 @ But my neighbours mocked me, and said, This man is not yet afraid to be put to death for this matter: who fled away; and yet, lo, he burieth the dead again.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:2:13 @ And when it was in my house, and began to cry, I said unto her, From whence is this kid? is it not stolen? render it to the owners; for it is not lawful to eat any thing that is stolen.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:2:14 @ But she replied upon me, It was given for a gift more than the wages. Howbeit I did not believe her, but bade her render it to the owners: and I was abashed at her. But she replied upon me, Where are thine alms and thy righteous deeds? behold, thou and all thy works are known.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:3:2 @ O Lord, thou art just, and all thy works and all thy ways are mercy and truth, and thou judgest truly and justly for ever.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:3:5 @ And now thy judgments are many and true: deal with me according to my sins and my fathers': because we have not kept thy commandments, neither have walked in truth before thee.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:3:11 @ Then she prayed toward the window, and said, Blessed art thou, O Lord my God, and thine holy and glorious name is blessed and honourable for ever: let all thy works praise thee for ever.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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?

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:4:4 @ Remember, my son, that she saw many dangers for thee, when thou wast in her womb: and when she is dead, bury her by me in one grave.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:4:6 @ For if thou deal truly, thy doings shall prosperously succeed to thee, and to all them that live justly.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:4:21 @ And fear not, my son, that we are made poor: for thou hast much wealth, if thou fear God, and depart from all sin, and do that which is pleasing in his sight.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:4 @ Therefore when he went to seek a man, he found Raphael that was an angel.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:6 @ To whom the angel said, I will go with thee, and I know the way well: for I have lodged with our brother Gabael.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:7 @ Then Tobias said unto him, Tarry for me, till I tell my father.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:11 @ To whom he said, Dost thou seek for a tribe or family, or an hired man to go with thy son? Then Tobit said unto him, I would know, brother, thy kindred and name.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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?

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:19 @ For that which the Lord hath given us to live with doth suffice us.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:21 @ For the good angel will keep him company, and his journey shall be prosperous, and he shall return safe.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:6:7 @ And he said unto him, Touching the heart and the liver, if a devil or an evil spirit trouble any, we must make a smoke thereof before the man or the woman, and the party shall be no more vexed.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:6:8 @ As for the gall, it is good to anoint a man that hath whiteness in his eyes, and he shall be healed.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:6:10 @ The angel said to the young man, Brother, to day we shall lodge with Raguel, who is thy cousin; he also hath one only daughter, named Sara; I will speak for her, that she may be given thee for a wife.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:7:10 @ For it is meet that thou shouldest marry my daughter: nevertheless I will declare unto thee the truth.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:7:11 @ I have given my daughter in marriage te seven men, who died that night they came in unto her: nevertheless for the present be merry. But Tobias said, I will eat nothing here, till we agree and swear one to another.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:7:12 @ Raguel said, Then take her from henceforth according to the manner, for thou art her cousin, and she is thine, and the merciful God give you good success in all things.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:7 @ And now, O Lord, I take not this my sister for lush but uprightly: therefore mercifully ordain that we may become aged together.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:14 @ And came forth, and told them that he was alive.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:15 @ Then Raguel praised God, and said, O God, thou art worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise; therefore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures; and let all thine angels and thine elect praise thee for ever.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:16 @ Thou art to be praised, for thou hast made me joyful; and that is not come to me which I suspected; but thou hast dealt with us according to thy great mercy.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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;

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:9:3 @ For Raguel hath sworn that I shall not depart.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:9:5 @ So Raphael went out, and lodged with Gabael, and gave him the handwriting: who brought forth bags which were sealed up, and gave them to him.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:9:6 @ And early in the morning they went forth both together, and came to the wedding: and Tobias blessed his wife.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:10:3 @ Therefore he was very sorry.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:10:6 @ To whom Tobit said, Hold thy peace, take no care, for he is safe.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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, Let me go, for my father and my mother look no more to see me.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:10:12 @ 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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:3 @ Let us haste before thy wife, and prepare the house.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:5 @ Now Anna sat looking about toward the way for her son.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:8 @ Therefore anoint thou his eyes with the gall, and being pricked therewith, he shall rub, and the whiteness shall fall away, and he shall see thee.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:10 @ Tobit also went forth toward the door, and stumbled: but his son ran unto him,

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:14 @ And he wept, and said, Blessed art thou, O God, and blessed is thy name for ever; and blessed are all thine holy angels:

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:15 @ For thou hast scourged, and hast taken pity on me: for, behold, I see my son Tobias. And his son went in rejoicing, and told his father the great things that had happened to him in Media.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:17 @ But Tobias gave thanks before them, because God had mercy on him. And when he came near to Sara his daughter in law, he blessed her, saying, Thou art welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath brought thee unto us, and blessed be thy father and thy mother. And there was joy among all his brethren which were at Nineve.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:12:3 @ For he hath brought me again to thee in safety, and made whole my wife, and brought me the money, and likewise healed thee.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:12:9 @ For alms doth deliver from death, and shall purge away all sin. Those that exercise alms and righteousness shall be filled with life:

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:12:16 @ Then they were both troubled, and fell upon their faces: for they feared.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:12:17 @ But he said unto them, Fear not, for it shall go well with you; praise God therefore.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:12:20 @ Now therefore give God thanks: for I go up to him that sent me; but write all things which are done in a book.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:13:2 @ For he doth scourge, and hath mercy: he leadeth down to hell, and bringeth up again: neither is there any that can avoid his hand.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:13:4 @ There declare his greatness, and extol him before all the living: for he is our Lord, and he is the God our Father for ever.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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?

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:13:8 @ Let all men speak, and let all praise him for his righteousness.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:13:10 @ Give praise to the Lord, for he is good: and praise the everlasting King, that his tabernacle may be builded in thee again with joy, and let him make joyful there in thee those that are captives, and love in thee for ever those that are miserable.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:13:12 @ Cursed are all they which hate thee, and blessed shall all be which love thee for ever.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:13:14 @ O blessed are they which love thee, for they shall rejoice in thy peace: blessed are they which have been sorrowful for all thy scourges; for they shall rejoice for thee, when they have seen all thy glory, and shall be glad for ever.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:13:16 @ For Jerusalem shall be built up with sapphires and emeralds, and precious stone: thy walls and towers and battlements with pure gold.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:13:18 @ And all her streets shall say, Alleluia; and they shall praise him, saying, Blessed be God, which hath extolled it for ever.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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;

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:14:11 @ Wherefore now, my son, consider what alms doeth, and how righteousness doth deliver. When he had said these things, he gave up the ghost in the bed, being an hundred and eight and fifty years old; and he buried him honourably.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:1:3 @ For froward thoughts separate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:1:4 @ For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not enter; nor dwell in the body that is subject unto sin.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:1:8 @ Therefore he that speaketh unrighteous things cannot be hid: neither shall vengeance, when it punisheth, pass by him.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:1:15 @ (For righteousness is immortal:)

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:1:16 @ But ungodly men with their works and words called it to them: for when they thought to have it their friend, they consumed to nought, and made a covenant with it, because they are worthy to take part with it.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:5 @ For our time is a very shadow that passeth away; and after our end there is no returning: for it is fast sealed, so that no man cometh again.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:6 @ Come on therefore, let us enjoy the good things that are present: and let us speedily use the creatures like as in youth.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:8 @ Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds, before they be withered:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:20 @ Let us condemn him with a shameful death: for by his own saying he shall be respected.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:21 @ Such things they did imagine, and were deceived: for their own wickedness hath blinded them.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:22 @ As for the mysteries of God, they kn ew them not: neither hoped they for the wages of righteousness, nor discerned a reward for blameless souls.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:3:5 @ And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for himself.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:3:8 @ They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:3:9 @ They that put their trust in him shall understand the truth: and such as be faithful in love shall abide with him: for grace and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his elect.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:3:10 @ But the ungodly shall be punished according to their own imaginations, which have neglected the righteous, and forsaken the Lord.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:3:11 @ For whoso despiseth wisdom and nurture, he is miserable, and their hope is vain, their labours unfruitful, and their works unprofitable:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:3:17 @ For though they live long, yet shall they be nothing regarded: and their last age shall be without honour.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:3:19 @ For horrible is the end of the unrighteous generation.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:4:1 @ Better it is to have no children, and to have virtue: for the memorial thereof is immortal: because it is known with God, and with men.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:4:2 @ When it is present, men take example at it; and when it is gone, they desire it: it weareth a crown, and triumpheth for ever, having gotten the victory, striving for undefiled rewards.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:4:5 @ The imperfect branches shall be broken off, their fruit unprofitable, not ripe to eat, yea, meet for nothing.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:4:14 @ For his soul pleased the Lord: therefore hasted he to take him away from among the wicked.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:4:18 @ They shall see him, and despise him; but God shall laugh them to scorn: and they shall hereafter be a vile carcase, and a reproach among the dead for evermore.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:4:19 @ For he shall rend them, and cast them down headlong, that they shall be speechless; and he shall shake them from the foundation; and they shall be utterly laid waste, and be in sorrow; and their memorial shall perish.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:14 @ For the hope of the Godly 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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:16 @ Therefore shall they receive a glorious kingdom, and a beautiful crown from the Lord's hand: for with his right hand shall he cover them, and with his arm shall he protect them.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:19 @ He shall take holiness for an invincible shield.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:20 @ His severe wrath shall he sharpen for a sword, and the world shall fight with him against the unwise.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:5 @ Horribly and speedily shall he come upon you: for a sharp judgment shall be to them that be in high places.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:6 @ For mercy will soon pardon the meanest: but mighty men shall be mightily tormented.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:9 @ Unto you therefore, O kings, do I speak, that ye may learn wisdom, and not fall away.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:10 @ For they that keep holiness holily shall be judged holy: and they that have learned such things shall find what to answer.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:11 @ Wherefore set your affection upon my words; desire them, and ye shall be instructed.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:14 @ Whoso seeketh her early shall have no great travail: for he shall find her sitting at his doors.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:20 @ Therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:23 @ Neither will I go with consuming envy; for such a man shall have no fellowship with wisdom.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:25 @ Receive therefore instruction through my words, and it shall do you good.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:7:6 @ For all men have one entrance into life, and the like going out.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:7:15 @ God hath granted me to speak as I would, and to conceive as is meet for the things that are given me: because it is he that leadeth unto wisdom, and directeth the wise.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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,

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:7:28 @ For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:7:30 @ For after this cometh night: but vice shall not prevail against wisdom.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:8:7 @ And if a man love righteousness her labours are virtues: for she teacheth temperance and prudence, justice and fortitude: which are such things, as en can have nothing more profitable in their life.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:8:10 @ For her sake I shall have estimation among the multitude, and honour with the elders, though I be young.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:8:16 @ After I am come into mine house, I will repose myself with her: for her conversation hath no bitterness; and to live with her hath no sorrow, but mirth and joy.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:8:19 @ For I was a witty child, and had a good spirit.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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 judgment and laws.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:9:11 @ For she knoweth and understandeth all things, and she shall lead me soberly in my doings, and preserve me in her power.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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?

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:9:15 @ For the corruptible body presseth down the soul, and the earthy tabernacle weigheth down the mind that museth upon many things.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:9:16 @ And hardly do we guess aright at things that are upon earth, and with labour do we find the things that are before us: but the things that are in heaven who hath searched out?

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:10:13 @ When the righteous was sold, she forsook him not, but delivered him from sin: she went down with him into the pit,

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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;

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:10:20 @ Therefore the righteous spoiled the ungodly, and praised thy holy name, O Lord, and magnified with one accord thine hand, that fought for them.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:11:5 @ For by what things their enemies were punished, by the same they in their need were benefited.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:11:6 @ For instead of of a perpetual running river troubled with foul blood,

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:11:9 @ For when they were tried albeit but in mercy chastised, they knew how the ungodly were judged in wrath and tormented, thirsting in another manner than the just.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:11:10 @ For these thou didst admonish and try, as a father: but the other, as a severe king, thou didst condemn and punish.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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;

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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,

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:11:24 @ For thou lovest all the things that are, and abhorrest nothing which thou hast made: for never wouldest thou have made any thing, if thou hadst hated it.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:1 @ For thine incorruptible Spirit is in all things.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:2 @ Therefore chastenest thou them by little and little that offend, and warnest them by putting them in remembrance wherein they have offended, that leaving their wickedness they may believe on thee, O Lord.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:12 @ For who shall say, What hast thou done? or who shall withstand thy judgment? or who shall accuse thee for the nations that perish, whom thou made? or who shall come to stand against thee, to be revenged for the unrighteous men?

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:13 @ For neither is there any God but thou that careth for all, to whom thou mightest shew that thy judgment is not unright.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:14 @ Neither shall king or tyrant be able to set his face against thee for any whom thou hast punished.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:15 @ Forsomuch then as thou art righteous thyself, thou orderest all things righteously: thinking it not agreeable with thy power to condemn him that hath not deserved to be punished.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:18 @ But thou, mastering thy power, judgest with equity, and orderest us with great favour: for thou mayest use power when thou wilt.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:23 @ Wherefore, whereas men have lived dissolutely and unrighteously, thou hast tormented them with their own abominations.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:25 @ Therefore unto them, as to children without the use of reason, thou didst send a judgment to mock them.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:27 @ For, look, for what things they grudged, when they were punished, that is, for them whom they thought to be gods; [now] being punished in them, when they saw it, they acknowledged him to be the true God, whom before they denied to know: and therefore came extreme damnation upon them.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:6 @ But yet for this they are the less to be blamed: for they peradventure err, seeking God, and desirous to find him.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:7 @ For being conversant in his works they search him diligently, and believe their sight: because the things are beautiful that are seen.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:9 @ For if they were able to know so much, that they could aim at the world; how did they not sooner find out the Lord thereof?

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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;

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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;

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:15 @ And when he had made a convenient room for it, set it in a wall, and made it fast with iron:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:17 @ Then maketh he prayer for his goods, for his wife and children, and is not ashamed to speak to that which hath no life.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:3 @ But thy providence, O Father, governeth it: for thou hast made a way in the sea, and a safe path in the waves;

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:7 @ For blessed is the wood whereby righteousness cometh.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:9 @ For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both alike hateful unto God.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:10 @ For that which is made shall be punished together with him that made it.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:13 @ For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall they be for ever.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:21 @ And this was an occasion to deceive the world: for men, serving either calamity or tyranny, did ascribe unto stones and stocks the incommunicable name.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:28 @ For either they are mad when they be merry, or prophesy lies, or live unjustly, or else lightly forswear themselves.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:29 @ For insomuch as their trust is in idols, which have no life; though they swear falsely, yet they look not to be hurt.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:2 @ For if we sin, we are thine, knowing thy power: but we will not sin, knowing that we are counted thine.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:11 @ Forasmuch as he knew not his Maker, and him that inspired into him an active soul, and breathed in a living spirit.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:12 @ But they counted our life a pastime, and our time here a market for gain: for, say they, we must be getting every way, though it be by evil means.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:16 @ For man made them, and he that borrowed his own spirit fashioned them: but no man can make a god like unto himself.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:17 @ For being mortal, he worketh a dead thing with wicked hands: for he himself is better than the things which he worshippeth: whereas he lived once, but they never.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:18 @ Yea, they worshipped those beasts also that are most hateful: for being compared together, some are worse than others.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:4 @ For it was requisite, that upon them exercising tyranny should come penury, which they could not avoid: but to these it should only be shewed how their enemies were tormented.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:12 @ For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaister, that restored them to health: but thy word, O Lord, which healeth all things.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:14 @ A man indeed killeth through his malice: and the spirit, when it is gone forth, returneth not; neither the soul received up cometh again.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:17 @ For, which is most to be wondered at, the fire had more force in the water, that quencheth all things: for the world fighteth for the righteous.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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 judgment of God.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:23 @ But this again did even forget his own strength, that the righteous might be nourished.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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:

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:29 @ For the hope of the unthankful shall melt away as the winter's hoar frost, and shall run away as unprofitable water.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:17:1 @ For great are thy judgments, and cannot be expressed: therefore unnurtured souls have erred.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:17:11 @ For wickedness, condemned by her own witness, is very timorous, and being pressed with conscience, always forecasteth grievous things.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:17:15 @ Were partly vexed with monstrous apparitions, and partly fainted, their heart failing them: for a sudden fear, and not looked for, came upon them.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:17:20 @ For the whole world shined with clear light, and none were hindered in their labour:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:18:8 @ For wherewith thou didst punish our adversaries, by the same thou didst glorify us, whom thou hadst called.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:18:19 @ For the dreams that troubled them did foreshew this, lest they should perish, and not know why they were afflicted.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:18:23 @ For when the dead were now fallen down by heaps one upon another, standing between, he stayed the wrath, and parted the way to the living.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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 daidem of his head.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:19:1 @ As for the ungodly, wrath came upon them without mercy unto the end: for he knew before what they would do;

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:19:4 @ For the destiny, whereof they were worthy, drew them unto this end, and made them forget the things that had already happened, that they might fulfil the punishment which was wanting to their torments:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:19:6 @ For the whole creature in his proper kind was fashioned again anew, serving the peculiar commandments that were given unto them, that thy children might be kept without hurt:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:19:9 @ For they went at large like horses, and leaped like lambs, praising thee, O Lord, who hadst delivered them.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:19:12 @ For quails came up unto them from the sea for their contentment.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:19:19 @ For earthly things were turned into watery, and the things, that before swam in the water, now went upon the ground.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:19:20 @ The fire had power in the water, forgetting his own virtue: and the water forgat his own quenching nature.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:19:22 @ For in all things, O Lord, thou didst magnify thy people, and glorify them, neither didst thou lightly regard them: but didst assist them in every time and place.
