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: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:5:38 @ So Judas sent men to espy the host, who brought him word, saying, All the heathen that be round about us are assembled unto them, even a very great host.

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:5:41 @ But if he be afraid, and camp beyond the river, we shall go over unto him, and prevail against him.

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:5:48 @ Whereupon Judas sent unto them in peaceable manner, saying, Let us pass through your land to go into our own country, and none shall do you any hurt; we will only pass through on foot: howbeit they would not open unto him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:4 @ Rose up against him in battle: so he fled, and departed thence with great heaviness, and returned to Babylon.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:5 @ Moreover there came one who brought him tidings into Persia, that the armies, which went against the land of Judea, were put to flight:

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:6:15 @ 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:6:29 @ There came also unto him from other kingdoms, and from isles of the sea, bands of hired soldiers.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:36 @ These were ready at every occasion: wheresoever the beast was, and whithersoever the beast went, they went also, neither departed they from him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:37 @ And upon the beasts were there strong towers of wood, which covered every one of them, and were girt fast unto them with devices: there were also upon every one two and thirty strong men, that fought upon them, beside the Indian that ruled him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:43 @ Eleazar also, surnamed Savaran, perceiving that one of the beasts, armed with royal harness, was higher than all the rest, and supposing that the king was upon him,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:44 @ Put himself in jeopardy, to the end he might deliver his people, and get him a perpetual name:

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:6:46 @ Which done, he crept under the elephant, and thrust him under, and slew him: whereupon the elephant fell down upon him, and there he died.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:56 @ Was returned out of Persia and Media, and the king's host also that went with him, and that he sought to take unto him the ruling of the affairs.

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:7:5 @ 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:7:9 @ And him he sent with that wicked Alcimus, whom he made high priest, and commanded that he should take vengeance of the children of Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:16 @ Whereupon they believed him: howbeit he took of them threescore men, and slew them in one day, according to the words which he wrote,

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:7:20 @ Then committed he the country to Alcimus, and left with him a power to aid him: so Bacchides went to the king.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:22 @ And unto him resorted all such as troubled the people, who, after they had gotten the land of Juda into their power, did much hurt in Israel.

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:7:30 @ Which thing after it was known to Judas, to wit, that he came unto him with deceit, he was sore afraid of him, and would see his face no more.

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:7:39 @ So Nicanor went out of Jerusalem, and pitched his tents in Bethhoron, where an host out of Syria met him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:42 @ Even so destroy thou this host before us this day, that the rest may know that he hath spoken blasphemously against thy sanctuary, and judge thou him according to his wickedness.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:43 @ So the thirteenth day of the month Adar the hosts joined battle: but Nicanor's host was discomfited, and he himself was first slain in the battle.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:2 @ And that they were men of great valour. It was told him also of their wars and noble acts which they had done among the Galatians, and how they had conquered them, and brought them under tribute;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:7 @ And how they took him alive, and covenanted that he and such as reigned after him should pay a great tribute, and give hostages, and that which was agreed upon,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:8 @ And the country of India, and Media and Lydia and of the goodliest countries, which they took of him, and gave to king Eumenes:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:11 @ It was told him besides, how they destroyed and brought under their dominion all other kingdoms and isles that at any time resisted them;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:31 @ And as touching the evils that Demetrius doeth to the Jews, we have written unto him, saying, Wherefore thou made thy yoke heavy upon our friends and confederates the Jews?

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:5 @ Now Judas had pitched his tents at Eleasa, and three thousand chosen men with him:

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:9:14 @ Now when Judas perceived that Bacchides and the strength of his army were on the right side, he took with him all the hardy men,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:16 @ But when they of the left wing saw that they of the right wing were discomfited, they followed upon Judas and those that were with him hard at the heels from behind:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:19 @ THen Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of his fathers in Modin.

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:9:29 @ 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:9:31 @ Upon this Jonathan took the governance upon him at that time, and rose up instead of his brother Judas.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:33 @ Then Jonathan, and Simon his brother, and all that were with him, perceiving that, fled into the wilderness of Thecoe, and pitched their tents by the water of the pool Asphar.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:40 @ Then Jonathan and they that were with him rose up against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and made a slaughter of them in such sort, as many fell down dead, and the remnant fled into the mountain, and they took all their spoils.

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:9:48 @ Then Jonathan and they that were with him leapt into Jordan, and swam over unto the other bank: howbeit the other passed not over Jordan unto them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:59 @ So they went and consulted with him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:60 @ Then removed he, and came with a great host, and sent letters privily to his adherents in Judea, that they should take Jonathan and those that were with him: howbeit they could not, because their counsel was known unto them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:62 @ Afterward Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with him, got them away to Bethbasi, which is in the wilderness, and they repaired the decays thereof, and made it strong.

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:9:68 @ 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:9:70 @ Whereof when Jonathan had knowledge, he sent ambassadors unto him, to the end he should make peace with him, and deliver them the prisoners.

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:10:3 @ Moreover Demetrius sent letters unto Jonathan with loving words, so as he magnified him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:5 @ Else he will remember all the evils that we have done against him, and against his brethren and his people.

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:10:17 @ Upon this he wrote a letter, and sent it unto him, according to these words, saying,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:61 @ At that time certain pestilent fellows of Israel, men of a wicked life, assembled themselves against him, to accuse him: but the king would not hear them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:62 @ Yea more than that, the king commanded to take off his garments, and clothe him in purple: and they did so.

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:10:65 @ So the king honoured him, and wrote him among his chief friends, and made him a duke, and partaker of his dominion.

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:10:89 @ And sent him a buckle of gold, as the use is to be given to such as are of the king's blood: he gave him also Accaron with the borders thereof in possession.

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:11:5 @ Also they told the king whatsoever Jonathan had done, to the intent he might blame him: but the king held his peace.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:11 @ Thus did he slander him, because he was desirous of his kingdom.

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:11:22 @ Whereof when he heard, he was angry, and immediately removing, he came to Ptolemais, and wrote unto Jonathan, that he should not lay siege to the tower, but come and speak with him at Ptolemais in great haste.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:23 @ Nevertheless Jonathan, when he heard this, commanded to besiege it still: and he chose certain of the elders of Israel and the priests, and put himself in peril;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:25 @ And though certain ungodly men of the people had made complaints against him,

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:11:28 @ Then Jonathan desired the king, that he would make Judea free from tribute, as also the three governments, with the country of Samaria; and he promised him three hundred talents.

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:11:40 @ 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:11:47 @ 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:11:52 @ So king Demetrius sat on the throne of his kingdom, and the land was quiet before him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:53 @ Nevertheless he dissembled in all that ever he spake, and estranged himself from Jonathan, neither rewarded he him according to the benefits which he had received of him, but troubled him very sore.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:54 @ After this returned Tryphon, and with him the young child Antiochus, who reigned, and was crowned.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:55 @ Then there gathered unto him all the men of war, whom Demetrius had put away, and they fought against Demetrius, who turned his back and fled.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:58 @ Upon this he sent him golden vessels to be served in, and gave him leave to drink in gold, and to be clothed in purple, and to wear a golden buckle.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:26 @ He sent spies also unto their tents, who came again, and told him that they were appointed to come upon them in the night season.

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:12:48 @ Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of Ptolemais shut the gates and took him, and all them that came with him they slew with the sword.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:50 @ But when they knew that Jonathan and they that were with him were taken and slain, they encouraged one another; and went close together, prepared to fight.

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:13:11 @ Also he sent Jonathan the son of Absolom, and with him a great power, to Joppa: who casting out them that were therein remained there in it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:12 @ So Tryphon removed from Ptolemaus with a great power to invade the land of Judea, and Jonathan was with him in ward.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:14 @ Now when Tryphon knew that Simon was risen up instead of his brother Jonathan, and meant to join battle with him, he sent messengers unto him, saying,

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:13:17 @ Hereupon Simon, albeit he perceived that they spake deceitfully unto him yet sent he the money and the children, lest peradventure he should procure to himself great hatred of the people:

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:13:20 @ And after this came Tryphon to invade the land, and destroy it, going round about by the way that leadeth unto Adora: but Simon and his host marched against him in every place, wheresoever he went.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:31 @ Now Tryphon dealt deceitfully with the young king Antiochus, and slew him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:32 @ And he reigned in his stead, and crowned himself king of Asia, and brought a great calamity upon the land.

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:13:50 @ Then cried they to Simon, beseeching him to be at one with them: which thing he granted them; and when he had put them out from thence, he cleansed the tower from pollutions:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:52 @ He ordained also that that day should be kept every year with gladness. Moreover the hill of the temple that was by the tower he made stronger than it was, and there he dwelt himself with his company.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:53 @ And when Simon saw that John his son was a valiant man, he made him captain of all the hosts; and he dwelt in Gazera.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:12 @ For he saw that troubles came upon him all at once, and that his forces had forsaken him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:13 @ Then camped Antiochus against Dora, having with him an hundred and twenty thousand men of war, and eight thousand horsemen.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:26 @ At that time Simon sent him two thousand chosen men to aid him; silver also, and gold, and much armour.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:28 @ Furthermore he sent unto him Athenobius, one of his friends, to commune with him, and say, Ye withhold Joppa and Gazera; with the tower that is in Jerusalem, which are cities of my realm.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:32 @ So Athenobius the king's friend came to Jerusalem: and when he saw the glory of Simon, and the cupboard of gold and silver plate, and his great attendance, he was astonished, and told him the king's message.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:15 @ Now when the Jews heard of Nicanor's coming, and that the heathen were up against them, they cast earth upon their heads, and made supplication to him that had established his people for ever, and who always helpeth his portion with manifestation of his presence.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:27 @ Then the king being in a rage, and provoked with the accusations of the most wicked man, wrote to Nicanor, signifying that he was much displeased with the covenants, and commanding him that he should send Maccabeus prisoner in all haste unto Antioch.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:28 @ When this came to Nicanor's hearing, he was much confounded in himself, and took it grievously that he should make void the articles which were agreed upon, the man being in no fault.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:30 @ Notwithstanding, when Maccabeus saw that Nicanor began to be churlish unto him, and that he entreated him more roughly than he was wont, perceiving that such sour behaviour came not of good, he gathered together not a few of his men, and withdrew himself from Nicanor.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:31 @ But the other, knowing that he was notably prevented by Judas' policy, came into the great and holy temple, and commanded the priests, that were offering their usual sacrifices, to deliver him the man.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:45 @ Nevertheless, while there was yet breath within him, being inflamed with anger, he rose up; and though his blood gushed out like spouts of water, and his wounds were grievous, yet he ran through the midst of the throng; and standing upon a steep rock,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:21 @ Maccabeus seeing the coming of the multitude, and the divers preparations of armour, and the fierceness of the beasts, stretched out his hands toward heaven, and called upon the Lord that worketh wonders, knowing that victory cometh not by arms, but even as it seemeth good to him, he giveth it to such as are worthy:

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

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:14:10 @ 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@Wisdom:2:16 @ We are esteemed of him as counterfeits: he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness: he pronounceth the end of the just to be blessed, and maketh his boast that God is his father.

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

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:2:19 @ Let us examine him with despitefulness and torture, that we may know his meekness, and prove his patience.

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

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:3:9 @ 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: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: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:5:17 @ 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:5:20 @ His severe wrath shall he sharpen for a sword, and the world shall fight with him against the unwise.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:10:2 @ And gave him power to rule all things.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:10:5 @ Moreover, the nations in their wicked conspiracy being confounded, she found out the righteous, and preserved him blameless unto God, and kept him strong against his tender compassion toward his son.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:10:12 @ She defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait, and in a sore conflict she gave him the victory; that he might know that goodness is stronger than all.

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