apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:23 @ And thou, Esdras, according to the wisdom of God ordain judges and justices, that they may judge in all Syria and Phenice all those that know the law of thy God; and those that know it not thou shalt teach.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:42 @ But when I had found there none of the priests and Levites,

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:67 @ And they delivered the king's commandments unto the king's stewards' and to the governors of Celosyria and Phenice; and they honoured the people and the temple of God.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:68 @ Now when these things were done, the rulers came unto me, and said,

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:69 @ The nation of Israel, the princes, the priests and Levites, have not put away from them the strange people of the land, nor the pollutions of the Gentiles to wit, of the Canaanites, Hittites, Pheresites, Jebusites, and the Moabites, Egyptians, and Edomites.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:75 @ For our sins are multiplied above our heads, and our ignorances have reached up unto heaven.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:78 @ And now in some measure hath mercy been shewed unto us from thee, O Lord, that there should be left us a root and a name in the place of thy sanctuary;

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:80 @ Yea, when we were in bondage, we were not forsaken of our Lord; but he made us gracious before the kings of Persia, so that they gave us food;

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:81 @ Yea, and honoured the temple of our Lord, and raised up the desolate Sion, that they have given us a sure abiding in Jewry and Jerusalem.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:82 @ And now, O Lord, what shall we say, having these things? for we have transgressed thy commandments, which thou gavest by the hand of thy servants the prophets, saying,

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:84 @ Therefore now shall ye not join your daughters unto their sons, neither shall ye take their daughters unto your sons.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:88 @ Mightest not thou be angry with us to destroy us, till thou hadst left us neither root, seed, nor name?

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:90 @ Behold, now are we before thee in our iniquities, for we cannot stand any longer by reason of these things before thee.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:92 @ Then Jechonias the son of Jeelus, one of the sons of Israel, called out, and said, O Esdras, we have sinned against the Lord God, we have married strange women of the nations of the land, and now is all Israel aloft.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:2 @ And remained there, and did eat no meat nor drink water, mourning for the great iniquities of the multitude.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:4 @ And that whosoever met not there within two or three days according as the elders that bare rule appointed, their cattle should be seized to the use of the temple, and himself cast out from them that were of the captivity.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:8 @ And now by confessing give glory unto the Lord God of our fathers,

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:11 @ But forasmuch as the people are many, and it is foul weather, so that we cannot stand without, and this is not a work of a day or two, seeing our sin in these things is spread far:

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:34 @ And of the sons of Maani; Jeremias, Momdis, Omaerus, Juel, Mabdai, and Pelias, and Anos, Carabasion, and Enasibus, and Mamnitanaimus, Eliasis, Bannus, Eliali, Samis, Selemias, Nathanias: and of the sons of Ozora; Sesis, Esril, Azaelus, Samatus, Zambis, Josephus.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:51 @ Go then, and eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send part to them that have nothing;

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:52 @ For this day is holy unto the Lord: and be not sorrowful; for the Lord will bring you to honour.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:53 @ So the Levites published all things to the people, saying, This day is holy to the Lord; be not sorrowful.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:62 @ Howbeit many in Israel were fully resolved and confirmed in themselves not to eat any unclean thing.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:63 @ Wherefore the rather to die, that they might not be defiled with meats, and that they might not profane the holy covenant: so then they died.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:22 @ Wherefore the Lord himself will overthrow them before our face: and as for you, be ye not afraid of them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:23 @ Now as soon as he had left off speaking, he leapt suddenly upon them, and so Seron and his host was overthrown before him.

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:3:30 @ 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:3:32 @ So he left Lysias, a nobleman, and one of the blood royal, to oversee the affairs of the king from the river Euphrates unto the borders of Egypt:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:38 @ Then Lysias chose Ptolemee the son of Dorymenes, Nicanor, and Gorgias, mighty men of the king's friends:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:42 @ Now when Judas and his brethren saw that miseries were multiplied, and that the forces did encamp themselves in their borders: for they knew how the king had given commandment to destroy the people, and utterly abolish them;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:43 @ They said one to another, Let us restore the decayed fortune of our people, and let us fight for our people and the sanctuary.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:45 @ Now Jerusalem lay void as a wilderness, there was none of her children that went in or out: the sanctuary also was trodden down, and aliens kept the strong hold; the heathen had their habitation in that place; and joy was taken from Jacob, and the pipe with the harp ceased.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:52 @ And lo, the heathen are assembled together against us to destroy us: what things they imagine against us, thou knowest.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:3 @ Now when Judas heard thereof he himself removed, and the valiant men with him, that he might smite the king's army which was at Emmaus,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:5 @ In the mean season came Gorgias by night into the camp of Judas: and when he found no man there, he sought them in the mountains: for said he, These fellows flee from us

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:6 @ But as soon as it was day, Judas shewed himself in the plain with three thousand men, who nevertheless had neither armour nor swords to their minds.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:8 @ Then said Judas to the men that were with him, Fear ye not their multitude, neither be ye afraid of their assault.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:10 @ Now therefore let us cry unto heaven, if peradventure the Lord will have mercy upon us, and remember the covenant of our fathers, and destroy this host before our face this day:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:11 @ That so all the heathen may know that there is one who delivereth and saveth Israel.

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:4:18 @ And Gorgias and his host are here by us in the mountain: but stand ye now against our enemies, and overcome them, and after this ye may boldly take the spoils.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:26 @ Now all the strangers that had escaped came and told Lysias what had happened:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:27 @ Who, when he heard thereof, was confounded and discouraged, because neither such things as he would were done unto Israel, nor such things as the king commanded him were come to pass.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:32 @ Make them to be of no courage, and cause the boldness of their strength to fall away, and let them quake at their destruction:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:33 @ Cast them down with the sword of them that love thee, and let all those that know thy name praise thee with thanksgiving.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:35 @ Now when Lysias saw his army put to flight, and the manliness of Judas' soldiers, and how they were ready either to live or die valiantly, he went into Antiochia, and gathered together a company of strangers, and having made his army greater than it was, he purposed to come again into Judea.

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: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:5:12 @ 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:5:19 @ Unto whom he gave commandment, saying, Take ye the charge of this people, and see that ye make not war against the heathen until the time that we come again.

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:5:34 @ 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:5:37 @ After these things gathered Timotheus another host and encamped against Raphon beyond the brook.

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:5:42 @ Now when Judas came near the brook, he caused the scribes of the people to remain by the brook: unto whom he gave commandment, saying, Suffer no man to remain in the camp, but let all come to the battle.

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:5:48 @ 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:5:54 @ So they went up to mount Sion with joy and gladness, where they offered burnt offerings, because not one of them were slain until they had returned in peace.

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:5:61 @ Thus was there a great overthrow among the children of Israel, because they were not obedient unto Judas and his brethren, but thought to do some valiant act.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:62 @ Moreover these men came not of the seed of those, by whose hand deliverance was given unto Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:63 @ Howbeit the man Judas and his brethren were greatly renowned in the sight of all Israel, and of all the heathen, wheresoever their name was heard of;

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:6:8 @ 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:6:11 @ 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:6:12 @ But now I remember the evils that I did at Jerusalem, and that I took all the vessels of gold and silver that were therein, and sent to destroy the inhabitants of Judea without a cause.

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:6:17 @ Now when Lysias knew that the king was dead, he set up Antiochus his son, whom he had brought up being young, to reign in his stead, and his name he called Eupator.

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:6:28 @ Now when the king heard this, he was angry, and gathered together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and those that had charge of the horse.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:39 @ Now when the sun shone upon the shields of gold and brass, the mountains glistered therewith, and shined like lamps of fire.

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:6:49 @ 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:6:58 @ Now therefore let us be friends with these men, and make peace with them, and with all their nation;

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:4 @ So his host slew them. Now when Demetrius was set upon the throne of his kingdom,

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:7:13 @ Now the Assideans were the first among the children of Israel that sought peace of them:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:14 @ For said they, One that is a priest of the seed of Aaron is come with this army, and he will do us no wrong.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:15 @ So he spake unto them, peaceably, and sware unto them, saying, we will procure the harm neither of you nor your friends.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:17 @ The flesh of thy saints have they cast out, and their blood have they shed round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them.

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:7:23 @ Now when Judas saw all the mischief that Alcimus and his company had done among the Israelites, even above the heathen,

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:7:26 @ Then the king sent Nicanor, one of his honourable princes, a man that bare deadly hate unto Israel, with commandment to destroy the people.

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:7:28 @ Let there be no battle between me and you; I will come with a few men, that I may see you in peace.

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:7:30 @ 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:7:31 @ Nicanor also, when he saw that his counsel was discovered, went out to fight against Judas beside Capharsalama:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:32 @ Where there were slain of Nicanor's side about five thousand men, and the rest fled into the city of David.

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:7:35 @ And sware in his wrath, saying, Unless Judas and his host be now delivered into my hands, if ever I come again in safety, I will burn up this house: and with that he went out in a great rage.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:38 @ Be avenged of this man and his host, and let them fall by the sword: remember their blasphemies, and suffer them not to continue any longer.

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:7:44 @ Now when Nicanor's host saw that he was slain, they cast away their weapons, and fled.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:46 @ Whereupon they came forth out of all the towns of Judea round about, and closed them in; so that they, turning back upon them that pursued them, were all slain with the sword, and not one of them was left.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:47 @ Afterwards they took the spoils, and the prey, and smote off Nicanors head, and his right hand, which he stretched out so proudly, and brought them away, and hanged them up toward Jerusalem.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:1 @ Now Judas had heard of the the Romans, that they were mighty and valiant men, and such as would lovingly accept all that joined themselves unto them, and make a league of amity with all that came unto them;

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:8:10 @ And that they, having knowledge thereof sent against them a certain captain, and fighting with them slew many of them, and carried away captives their wives and their children, and spoiled them, and took possession of their lands, and pulled down their strong holds, and brought them to be their servants unto this day:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:14 @ Yet for all this none of them wore a crown or was clothed in purple, to be magnified thereby:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:16 @ And that they committed their government to one man every year, who ruled over all their country, and that all were obedient to that one, and that there was neither envy nor emmulation among them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:1 @ Furthermore, when Demetrius heard the Nicanor and his host were slain in battle, he sent Bacchides and Alcimus into the land of Judea the second time, and with them the chief strength of his host:

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:6 @ Who seeing the multitude of the other army to he so great were sore afraid; whereupon many conveyed themselves out of the host, insomuch as abode of them no more but eight hundred men.

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:9:13 @ They also of Judas' side, even they sounded their trumpets also, so that the earth shook at the noise of the armies, and the battle continued from morning till night.

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:9:22 @ 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:9:27 @ So was there a great affliction in Israel, the like whereof was not since the time that a prophet was not seen among them.

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:9:35 @ Now Jonathan had sent his brother John, a captain of the people, to pray his friends the Nabathites, that they might leave with them their carriage, which was much.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:41 @ Thus was the marriage turned into mourning, and the noise of their melody into lamentation.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:43 @ Now when Bacchides heard hereof, he came on the sabbath day unto the banks of Jordan with a great power.

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

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:9:55 @ 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:9:57 @ Now when Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead, he returned to the king: whereupon the land of Judea was in rest two years.

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:9:60 @ 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:9:70 @ 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:10:15 @ Now when king Alexander had heard what promises Demetrius had sent unto Jonathan: when also it was told him of the battles and noble acts which he and his brethren had done, and of the pains that they had endured,

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:10:26 @ Whereas ye have kept covenants with us, and continued in our friendship, not joining yourselves with our enemies, we have heard hereof, and are glad.

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:10:35 @ Also no man shall have authority to meddle with or to molest any of them in any matter.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:37 @ And of them some shall be placed in the king's strong holds, of whom also some shall be set over the affairs of the kingdom, which are of trust: and I will that their overseers and governors be of themselves, and that they live after their own laws, even as the king hath commanded in the land of Judea.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:38 @ And concerning the three governments that are added to Judea from the country of Samaria, let them be joined with Judea, that they may be reckoned to be under one, nor bound to obey other authority than the high priest's.

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:10:46 @ 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:10:54 @ 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:10:59 @ Now king Alexander had written unto Jonathan, that he should come and meet him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:60 @ Who thereupon went honourably to Ptolemais, where he met the two kings, and gave them and their friends silver and gold, and many presents, and found favour in their sight.

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:10:63 @ 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:10:64 @ Now when his accusers saw that he was honored according to the proclamation, and clothed in purple, they fled all away.

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:10:69 @ Then Demetrius made Apollonius the governor of Celosyria his general, who gathered together a great host, and camped in Jamnia, and sent unto Jonathan the high priest, saying,

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:10:72 @ Ask and learn who I am, and the rest that take our part, and they shall tell thee that thy foot is not able to to flight in their own land.

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:10:79 @ Now Apollonius had left a thousand horsemen in ambush.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:88 @ Now when king ALexander heard these things, he honoured Jonathan yet more.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:3 @ Now as Ptolemee entered into the cities, he set in every one of them a garrison of soldiers to keep it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:6 @ Then Jonathan met the king with great pomp at Joppa, where they saluted one another, and lodged.

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:11:18 @ King Ptolemee also died the third day after, and they that were in the strong holds were slain one of another.

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:11:27 @ 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:11:36 @ 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:11:42 @ 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:11:51 @ With that they cast away their weapons, and made peace; and the Jews were honoured in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all that were in his realm; and they returned to Jerusalem, having great spoils.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:73 @ Now when his own men that were fled saw this, they turned again unto him, and with him pursued them to Cades, even unto their own tents, and there they camped.

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:12:4 @ Upon this the Romans gave them letters unto the governors of every place that they should bring them into the land of Judea peaceably.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:8 @ At which time Onias entreated the ambassador that was sent honourably, and received the letters, wherein declaration was made of the league and friendship.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:14 @ Howbeit we would not be troublesome unto you, nor to others of our confederates and friends, in these wars:

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:12:29 @ 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:12:36 @ 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:12:40 @ 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:12:42 @ Now when Tryphon saw Jonathan came with so great a force, he durst not stretch his hand against him;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:43 @ But received him honourably, and commended him unto all his friends, and gave him gifts, and commanded his men of war to be as obedient unto him, as to himself.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:44 @ Unto Jonathan also he said, Why hast thou brought all this people to so great trouble, seeing there is no war betwixt us?

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:12:48 @ 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:12:53 @ 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:13:14 @ 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:13:16 @ 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:13:21 @ Now they that were in the tower sent messengers unto Tryphon, to the end that he should hasten his coming unto them by the wilderness, and send them victuals.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:22 @ Wherefore Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night: but there fell a very great snow, by reason whereof he came not. So he departed, and came into the country of Galaad.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:28 @ Moreover he set up seven pyramids, one against another, for his father, and his mother, and his four brethren.

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

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:13:49 @ 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@1Maccabees:14:4 @ As for the land of Judea, that was quiet all the days of Simon; for he sought the good of his nation in such wise, as that evermore his authority and honour pleased them well.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:5 @ And as he was honourable in all his acts, so in this, that he took Joppa for an haven, and made an entrance to the isles of the sea,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:10 @ He provided victuals for the cities, and set in them all manner of munition, so that his honourable name was renowned unto the end of the world.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:29 @ Forasmuch as oftentimes there have been wars in the country, wherein for the maintenance of their sanctuary, and the law, Simon the son of Mattathias, of the posterity of Jarib, together with his brethren, put themselves in jeopardy, and resisting the enemies of their nation did their nation great honour:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:35 @ The people therefore sang the acts of Simon, and unto what glory he thought to bring his nation, made him their governor and chief priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice and faith which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to exalt his people.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:39 @ And made him one of his friends, and honoured him with great honour.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:40 @ For he had heard say, that the Romans had called the Jews their friends and confederates and brethren; and that they had entertained the ambassadors of Simon honourably;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:33 @ Then answered Simon, and said unto him, We have neither taken other men's land, nor holden that which appertaineth to others, but the inheritance of our fathers, which our enemies had wrongfully in possession a certain time.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:35 @ And whereas thou demandest Joppa and Gazera, albeit they did great harm unto the people in our country, yet will we give thee an hundred talents for them. Hereunto Athenobius answered him not a word;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:1:24 @ What shall I do unto thee, O Jacob? thou, Juda, wouldest not obey me: I will turn me to other nations, and unto those will I give my name, that they may keep my statutes.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:40 @ Then said he unto me, Like as thou canst do none of these things that I have spoken of, even so canst thou not find out my judgment, or in the end the love that I have promised unto my people.

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:5:42 @ And he said unto me, I will liken my judgment unto a ring: like as there is no slackness of the last, even so there is no swiftness of the first.

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:5:44 @ Then answered he me, and said, The creature may not haste above the maker; neither may the world hold them at once that shall be created therein.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:45 @ And I said, As thou hast said unto thy servant, that thou, which givest life to all, hast given life at once to the creature that thou hast created, and the creature bare it: even so it might now also bear them that now be present at once.

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:5:47 @ And I said, She cannot: but must do it by distance of time.

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:5:55 @ And so are they that come after you less than ye, as the creatures which now begin to be old, and have passed over the strength of youth.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:5 @ And ere the present years were sought out, and or ever the inventions of them that now sin were turned, before they were sealed that have gathered faith for a treasure:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:6 @ Then did I consider these things, and they all were made through me alone, and through none other: by me also they shall be ended, and by none other.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:10 @ The hand of man is betwixt the heel and the hand: other question, Esdras, ask thou not.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:14 @ And it shall be as it were a great motion; but the place where thou standest shall not be moved.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:15 @ And therefore when it speaketh be not afraid: for the word is of the end, and the foundation of the earth is understood.

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:6:24 @ At that time shall friends fight one against another like enemies, and the earth shall stand in fear with those that dwell therein, the springs of the fountains shall stand still, and in three hours they shall not run.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:26 @ And the men that are received shall see it, who have not tasted death from their birth: and the heart of the inhabitants shall be changed, and turned into another meaning.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:33 @ And therefore hath he sent me to shew thee all these things, and to say unto thee, Be of good comfort and fear not

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:34 @ And hasten not with the times that are past, to think vain things, that thou mayest not hasten from the latter times.

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:6:49 @ Then didst thou ordain two living creatures, the one thou calledst Enoch, and the other Leviathan;

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:6:51 @ Unto Enoch thou gavest one part, which was dried up the third day, that he should dwell in the same part, wherein are a thousand hills:

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:6:57 @ And now, O Lord, behold, these heathen, which have ever been reputed as nothing, have begun to be lords over us, and to devour us.

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:7:5 @ Who then could go into the sea to look upon it, and to rule it? if he went not through the narrow, how could he come into the broad?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:6 @ There is also another thing; A city is builded, and set upon a broad field, and is full of all good things:

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:7:14 @ 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:7:16 @ Why hast thou not considered in thy mind this thing that is to come, rather than that which is present?

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:7:19 @ And he said unto me. There is no judge above God, and none that hath understanding above the Highest.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:22 @ Nevertheless they were not obedient unto him; but spake against him, and imagined vain things;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:23 @ And deceived themselves by their wicked deeds; and said of the most High, that he is not; and knew not his ways:

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:7:26 @ 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:7:30 @ 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:7:31 @ And after seven days the world, that yet awaketh not, shall be raised up, and that shall die that is corrupt

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:7:41 @ 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:7:45 @ Then shall no man be able to save him that is destroyed, nor to oppress him that hath gotten the victory.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:46 @ I answered then and said, This is my first and last saying, that it had been better not to have given the earth unto Adam: or else, when it was given him, to have restrained him from sinning.

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:7:53 @ 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:7:56 @ For while we lived and committed iniquity, we considered not that we should begin to suffer for it after death.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:60 @ Nevertheless they believed not him, nor yet the prophets after him, no nor me which have spoken unto them,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:61 @ That there should not be such heaviness in their destruction, as shall be joy over them that are persuaded to salvation.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:62 @ I answered then, and said, I know, Lord, that the most High is called merciful, in that he hath mercy upon them which are not yet come into the world,

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:8:5 @ 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:8:8 @ 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:8:11 @ That the thing which is fashioned may be nourished for a time, till thou disposest it to thy mercy.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:26 @ O look not upon the sins of thy people; but on them which serve thee in truth.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:27 @ Regard not the wicked inventions of the heathen, but the desire of those that keep thy testimonies in afflictions.

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:8:29 @ Let it not be thy will to destroy them which have lived like beasts; but to look upon them that have clearly taught thy law.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:30 @ Take thou no indignation at them which are deemed worse than beasts; but love them that always put their trust in thy righteousness and glory.

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:8:35 @ 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:8:40 @ Like as I have spoken now, so shall it come to pass.

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:8:43 @ Like as the husbandman's seed perisheth, if it come not up, and receive not thy rain in due season; or if there come too much rain, and corrupt it:

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:8:49 @ In that thou hast humbled thyself, as it becometh thee, and hast not judged thyself worthy to be much glorified among the righteous.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:58 @ And said in their heart, that there is no God; yea, and that knowing they must die.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:62 @ These things have I not shewed unto all men, but unto thee, and a few like thee. Then answered I and said,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:63 @ Behold, O Lord, now hast thou shewed me the multitude of the wonders, which thou wilt begin to do in the last times: but at what time, thou hast not shewed me.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:9 @ Then shall they be in pitiful case, which now have abused my ways: and they that have cast them away despitefully shall dwell in torments.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:11 @ And they that have loathed my law, while they had yet liberty, and, when as yet place of repentance was open unto them, understood not, but despised it;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:12 @ The same must know it after death by pain.

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:9:18 @ 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:9:23 @ Nevertheless, if thou wilt cease yet seven days more, (but thou shalt not fast in them,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:24 @ But go into a field of flowers, where no house is builded, and eat only the flowers of the field; taste no flesh, drink no wine, but eat flowers only;)

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:29 @ O Lord, thou that shewest thyself unto us, thou wast shewed unto our fathers in the wilderness, in a place where no man treadeth, in a barren place, when they came out of Egypt.

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:9:33 @ Yet they that received it perished, because they kept not the thing that was sown in them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:35 @ That thing also which was sown, or cast therein, or received, doth perish, and remaineth not with us: but with us it hath not happened so.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:43 @ She said unto me, I thy servant have been barren, and had no child, though I had an husband thirty years,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:44 @ And those thirty years I did nothing else day and night, and every hour, but make my, prayer to the Highest.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:45 @ After thirty years God heard me thine handmaid, looked upon my misery, considered my trouble, and gave me a son: and I was very glad of him, so was my husband also, and all my neighbours: and we gave great honour unto the Almighty.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:46 @ And I nourished him with great travail.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:4 @ And I do now purpose not to return into the city, but here to stay, and neither to eat nor drink, but continually to mourn and to fast until I die.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:6 @ Thou foolish woman above all other, seest thou not our mourning, and what happeneth unto us?

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:10:11 @ 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:10:15 @ 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:10:18 @ And she said unto me, That will I not do: I will not go into the city, but here will I die.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:26 @ And, behold, suddenly she made a great cry very fearful: so that the earth shook at the noise of the woman.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:27 @ And I looked, and, behold, the woman appeared unto me no more, but there was a city builded, and a large place shewed itself from the foundations: then was I afraid, and cried with a loud voice, and said,

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:11 @ And they were all mixed together; the blast of fire, the flaming breath, and the great tempest; and fell with violence upon the multitude which was prepared to fight, and burned them up every one, so that upon a sudden of an innumerable multitude nothing was to be perceived, but only dust and smell of smoke: when I saw this I was afraid.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:12 @ Afterward saw I the same man come down from the mountain, and call unto him another peaceable Multitude.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:15 @ Shew me now yet the interpretation of this dream.

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@2Esdras:13:18 @ Now understand I the things that are laid up in the latter days, which shall happen unto them, and to those that are left behind.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:20 @ Yet is it easier for him that is in danger to come into these things, than to pass away as a cloud out of the world, and not to see the things that happen in the last days. And he answered unto me, and said,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:24 @ Know this therefore, that they which be left behind are more blessed than they that be dead.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:28 @ And that he held neither sword, nor any instrument of war, but that the rushing in of him destroyed the whole multitude that came to subdue him; this is the interpretation:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:31 @ And one shall undertake to fight against another, one city against another, one place against another, one people against another, and one realm against another.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:33 @ And when all the people hear his voice, every man shall in their own land leave the battle they have one against another.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:39 @ And whereas thou sawest that he gathered another peaceable multitude unto him;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:40 @ Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the king, whom Salmanasar the king of Assyria led away captive, and he carried them over the waters, and so came they into another land.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:49 @ Now when he destroyeth the multitude of the nations that are gathered together, he shall defend his people that remain.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:52 @ And he said unto me, Like as thou canst neither seek out nor know the things that are in the deep of the sea: even so can no man upon earth see my Son, or those that be with him, but in the day time.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:7 @ And now I say unto thee,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:13 @ Now therefore set thine house in order, and reprove thy people, comfort such of them as be in trouble, and now renounce corruption,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:23 @ And he answered me, saying, Go thy way, gather the people together, and say unto them, that they seek thee not for forty days.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:25 @ And come hither, and I shall light a candle of understanding in thine heart, which shall not be put out, till the things be performed which thou shalt begin to write.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:8 @ And burned the porch, and shed innocent blood: then we prayed unto the Lord, and were heard; we offered also sacrifices and fine flour, and lighted the lamps, and set forth the loaves.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:9 @ And now see that ye keep the feast of tabernacles in the month Casleu.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:10 @ In the hundred fourscore and eighth year, the people that were at Jerusalem and in Judea, and the council, and Judas, sent greeting and health unto Aristobulus, king Ptolemeus' master, who was of the stock of the anointed priests, and to the Jews that were in Egypt:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:18 @ Therefore whereas we are now purposed to keep the purification of the temple upon the five and twentieth day of the month Casleu, we thought it necessary to certify you thereof, that ye also might keep it, as the feast of the tabernacles, and of the fire, which was given us when Neemias offered sacrifice, after that he had builded the temple and the altar.

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:1:20 @ Now after many years, when it pleased God, Neemias, being sent from the king of Persia, did send of the posterity of those priests that had hid it to the fire: but when they told us they found no fire, but thick water;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:27 @ Gather those together that are scattered from us, deliver them that serve among the heathen, look upon them that are despised and abhorred, and let the heathen know that thou art our God.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:31 @ Now when the sacrifice was consumed, Neemias commanded the water that was left to be poured on the great stones.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:33 @ So when this matter was known, it was told the king of Persia, that in the place, where the priests that were led away had hid the fire, there appeared water, and that Neemias had purified the sacrifices therewith.

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:2:3 @ And with other such speeches exhorted he them, that the law should not depart from their hearts.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:6 @ And some of those that followed him came to mark the way, but they could not find it.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:7 @ Which when Jeremy perceived, he blamed them, saying, As for that place, it shall be unknown until the time that God gather his people again together, and receive them unto mercy.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:8 @ Then shall the Lord shew them these things, and the glory of the Lord shall appear, and the cloud also, as it was shewed under Moses, and as when Solomon desired that the place might be honourably sanctified.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:11 @ And Moses said, Because the sin offering was not to be eaten, it was consumed.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:19 @ Now as concerning Judas Maccabeus, and his brethren, and the purification of the great temple, and the dedication of the altar,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:21 @ And the manifest signs that came from heaven unto those that behaved themselves manfully to their honour for Judaism: so that, being but a few, they overcame the whole country, and chased barbarous multitudes,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:22 @ And recovered again the temple renowned all the world over, and freed the city, and upheld the laws which were going down, the Lord being gracious unto them with all favour:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:26 @ Therefore to us, that have taken upon us this painful labour of abridging, it was not easy, but a matter of sweat and watching;

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:3:1 @ Now when the holy city was inhabited with all peace, and the laws were kept very well, because of the godliness of Onias the high priest, and his hatred of wickedness,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:2 @ It came to pass that even the kings themselves did honour the place, and magnify the temple with their best gifts;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:4 @ But one Simon of the tribe of Benjamin, who was made governor of the temple, fell out with the high priest about disorder in the city.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:5 @ And when he could not overcome Onias, he gat him to Apollonius the son of Thraseas, who then was governor of Celosyria and Phenice,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:6 @ And told him that the treasury in Jerusalem was full of infinite sums of money, so that the multitude of their riches, which did not pertain to the account of the sacrifices, was innumerable, and that it was possible to bring all into the king's hand.

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:3:11 @ 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:3:12 @ And that it was altogether impossible that such wrongs should be done unto them, that had committed it to the holiness of the place, and to the majesty and inviolable sanctity of the temple, honoured over all the world.

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:3:17 @ 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:3:24 @ Now as he was there present himself with his guard about the treasury, the Lord of spirits, and the Prince of all power, caused a great apparition, so that all that presumed to come in with him were astonished at the power of God, and fainted, and were sore afraid.

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:3:28 @ Thus him, that lately came with a great train and with all his guard into the said treasury, they carried out, being unable to help himself with his weapons: and manifestly they acknowledged the power of God.

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:3:33 @ 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:3:34 @ And seeing that thou hast been scourged from heaven, declare unto all men the mighty power of God. And when they had spoken these words, they appeared no more.

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:4:1 @ This Simon now, of whom we spake afore, having been a betrayer of the money, and of his country, slandered Onias, as if he ha terrified Heliodorus, and been the worker of these evils.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:4 @ Onias seeing the danger of this contention, and that Apollonius, as being the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, did rage, and increase Simon's malice,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:5 @ He went to the king, not to be an accuser of his countrymen, but seeking the good of all, both publick and private:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:8 @ Promising unto the king by intercession three hundred and threescore talents of silver, and of another revenue eighty talents:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:13 @ Now such was the height of Greek fashions, and increase of heathenish manners, through the exceeding profaneness of Jason, that ungodly wretch, and no high priest;

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:4:15 @ Not setting by the honours of their fathers, but liking the glory of the Grecians best of all.

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:4:18 @ Now when the game that was used every faith year was kept at Tyrus, the king being present,

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:4:22 @ Where he was honourably received of Jason, and of the city, and was brought in with torch alight, and with great shoutings: and so afterward went with his host unto Phenice.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:25 @ So he came with the king's mandate, bringing nothing worthy the high priesthood, but having the fury of a cruel tyrant, and the rage of a savage beast.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:26 @ Then Jason, who had undermined his own brother, being undermined by another, was compelled to flee into the country of the Ammonites.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:27 @ So Menelaus got the principality: but as for the money that he had promised unto the king, he took no good order for it, albeit Sostratis the ruler of the castle required it:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:29 @ Now Menelaus left his brother Lysimachus in his stead in the priesthood; and Sostratus left Crates, who was governor of the Cyprians.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:32 @ Now Menelaus, supposing that he had gotten a convenient time, stole certain vessels of gold out of the temple, and gave some of them to Andronicus, and some he sold into Tyrus and the cities round about.

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:4:39 @ Now when many sacrileges had been committed in the city by Lysimachus with the consent of Menelaus, and the fruit thereof was spread abroad, the multitude gathered themselves together against Lysimachus, many vessels of gold being already carried away.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:40 @ Whereupon the common people rising, and being filled with rage, Lysimachus armed about three thousand men, and began first to offer violence; one Auranus being the leader, a man far gone in years, and no less in folly.

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:4:45 @ But Menelaus, being now convicted, promised Ptolemee the son of Dorymenes to give him much money, if he would pacify the king toward him.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:46 @ Whereupon Ptolemee taking the king aside into a certain gallery, as it were to take the air, brought him to be of another mind:

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:3 @ And troops of horsemen in array, encountering and running one against another, with shaking of shields, and multitude of pikes, and drawing of swords, and casting of darts, and glittering of golden ornaments, and harness of all sorts.

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:5:10 @ 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:5:11 @ Now when this that was done came to the king's car, he thought that Judea had revolted: whereupon removing out of Egypt in a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:12 @ And commanded his men of war not to spare such as they met, and to slay such as went up upon the houses.

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:5:15 @ Yet was he not content with this, but presumed to go into the most holy temple of all the world; Menelaus, that traitor to the laws, and to his own country, being his guide:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:16 @ And taking the holy vessels with polluted hands, and with profane hands pulling down the things that were dedicated by other kings to the augmentation and glory and honour of the place, he gave them away.

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:6:1 @ Not long after this the king sent an old man of Athens to compel the Jews to depart from the laws of their fathers, and not to live after the laws of God:

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:6:9 @ 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:6:11 @ 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:6:17 @ 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:6:23 @ 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:6:30 @ But when he was ready to die with stripes, he groaned, and said, It is manifest unto the Lord, that hath the holy knowledge, that whereas I might have been delivered from death, I now endure sore pains in body by being beaten: but in soul am well content to suffer these things, because I fear him.

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:7:5 @ 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:7:8 @ 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:7:12 @ 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:7:13 @ Now when this man was dead also, they tormented and mangled the fourth in like manner.

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:7:19 @ But think not thou, that takest in hand to strive against God, that thou shalt escape unpunished.

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:7:25 @ But when the young man would in no case hearken unto him, the king called his mother, and exhorted her that she would counsel the young man to save his life.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:27 @ But she bowing herself toward him, laughing the cruel tyrant to scorn, spake in her country language on this manner; O my son, have pity upon me that bare thee nine months in my womb, and gave thee such three years, and nourished thee, and brought thee up unto this age, and endured the troubles of education.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:28 @ I beseech thee, my son, look upon the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, and consider that God made them of things that were not; and so was mankind made likewise.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:29 @ Fear not this tormentor, but, being worthy of thy brethren, take thy death that I may receive thee again in mercy with thy brethren.

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:7:31 @ And thou, that hast been the author of all mischief against the Hebrews, shalt not escape the hands of God.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:34 @ But thou, O godless man, and of all other most wicked, be not lifted up without a cause, nor puffed up with uncertain hopes, lifting up thy hand against the servants of God:

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:7:42 @ Let this be enough now to have spoken concerning the idolatrous feasts, and the extreme tortures.

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:8:8 @ So when Philip saw that this man increased by little and little, and that things prospered with him still more and more, he wrote unto Ptolemeus, the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, to yield more aid to the king's affairs.

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:8:10 @ So Nicanor undertook to make so much money of the captive Jews, as should defray the tribute of two thousand talents, which the king was to pay to the Romans.

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:8:16 @ So Maccabeus called his men together unto the number of six thousand, and exhorted them not to be stricken with terror of the enemy, nor to fear the great multitude of the heathen, who came wrongly against them; but to fight manfully,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:24 @ And by the help of the Almighty they slew above nine thousand of their enemies, and wounded and maimed the most part of Nicanor's host, and so put all to flight;

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:32 @ They slew also Philarches, that wicked person, who was with Timotheus, and had annoyed the Jews many ways.

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:9:1 @ About that time came Antiochus with dishonour out of the country of Persia

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:3 @ Now when he came to Ecbatane, news was brought him what had happened unto Nicanor and Timotheus.

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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:7 @ Howbeit he nothing at all ceased from his bragging, but still was filled with pride, breathing out fire in his rage against the Jews, and commanding to haste the journey: but it came to pass that he fell down from his chariot, carried violently; so that having a sore fall, all the members of his body were much pained.

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:9:9 @ So that the worms rose up out of the body of this wicked man, and whiles he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell away, and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to all his army.

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:9:12 @ And when he himself could not abide his own smell, he said these words, It is meet to be subject unto God, and that a man that is mortal should not proudly think of himself if he were God.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:13 @ This wicked person vowed also unto the Lord, who now no more would have mercy upon him, saying thus,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:15 @ And as touching the Jews, whom he had judged not worthy so much as to be buried, but to be cast out with their children to be devoured of the fowls and wild beasts, he would make them all equals to the citizens of Athens:

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:9:19 @ Antiochus, king and governor, to the good Jews his citizens wisheth much joy, health, and prosperity:

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:9:22 @ Not distrusting mine health, but having great hope to escape this sickness.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:24 @ To the end that, if any thing fell out contrary to expectation, or if any tidings were brought that were grievous, they of the land, knowing to whom the state was left, might not be troubled:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:1 @ Now Maccabeus and his company, the Lord guiding them, recovered the temple and the city:

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:10:4 @ When that was done, they fell flat down, and besought the Lord that they might come no more into such troubles; but if they sinned any more against him, that he himself would chasten them with mercy, and that they might not be delivered unto the blasphemous and barbarous nations.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:5 @ Now upon the same day that the strangers profaned the temple, on the very same day it was cleansed again, even the five and twentieth day of the same month, which is Casleu.

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:10:10 @ Now will we declare the acts of Antiochus Eupator, who was the son of this wicked man, gathering briefly the calamities of the wars.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:11 @ So when he was come to the crown, he set one Lysias over the affairs of his realm, and appointed him his chief governor of Celosyria and Phenice.

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:10:14 @ But when Gorgias was governor of the holds, he hired soldiers, and nourished war continually with the Jews:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:15 @ And therewithall the Idumeans, having gotten into their hands the most commodious holds, kept the Jews occupied, and receiving those that were banished from Jerusalem, they went about to nourish war.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:17 @ And assaulting them strongly, they won the holds, and kept off all that fought upon the wall, and slew all that fell into their hands, and killed no fewer than twenty thousand.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:18 @ And because certain, who were no less than nine thousand, were fled together into two very strong castles, having all manner of things convenient to sustain the siege,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:19 @ Maccabeus left Simon and Joseph, and Zaccheus also, and them that were with him, who were enough to besiege them, and departed himself unto those places which more needed his help.

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: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:11:4 @ Not at all considering the power of God but puffed up with his ten thousands of footmen, and his thousands of horsemen, and his fourscore elephants.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:6 @ Now when they that were with Maccabeus heard that he besieged the holds, they and all the people with lamentation and tears besought the Lord that he would send a good angel to deliver Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:9 @ Then they praised the merciful God all together, and took heart, insomuch that they were ready not only to fight with men, but with most cruel beasts, and to pierce through walls of iron.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:13 @ Who, as he was a man of understanding, casting with himself what loss he had had, and considering that the Hebrews could not be overcome, because the Almighty God helped them, he sent unto them,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:22 @ Now the king's letter contained these words: King Antiochus unto his brother Lysias sendeth greeting:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:24 @ We understand also that the Jews would not consent to our father, for to be brought unto the custom of the Gentiles, but had rather keep their own manner of living: for the which cause they require of us, that we should suffer them to live after their own laws.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:31 @ And the Jews shall use their own kind of meats and laws, as before; and none of them any manner of ways shall be molested for things ignorantly done.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:36 @ But touching such things as he judged to be referred to the king, after ye have advised thereof, send one forthwith, that we may declare as it is convenient for you: for we are now going to Antioch.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:2 @ But of the governours of several places, Timotheus, and Apollonius the son of Genneus, also Hieronymus, and Demophon, and beside them Nicanor the governor of Cyprus, would not suffer them to be quiet and live in peace.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:3 @ The men of Joppa also did such an ungodly deed: they prayed the Jews that dwelt among them to go with their wives and children into the boats which they had prepared, as though they had meant them no hurt.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:4 @ Who accepted of it according to the common decree of the city, as being desirous to live in peace, and suspecting nothing: but when they were gone forth into the deep, they drowned no less than two hundred of them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:10 @ Now when they were gone from thence nine furlongs in their journey toward Timotheus, no fewer than five thousand men on foot and five hundred horsemen of the Arabians set upon him.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:11 @ Whereupon there was a very sore battle; but Judas' side by the help of God got the victory; so that the Nomades of Arabia, being overcome, besought Judas for peace, promising both to give him cattle, and to pleasure him otherwise.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:14 @ But they that were within it put such trust in the strength of the walls and provision of victuals, that they behaved themselves rudely toward them that were with Judas, railing and blaspheming, and uttering such words as were not to be spoken.

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:12:21 @ 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:12:22 @ But when Judas his first band came in sight, the enemies, being smitten with fear and terror through the appearing of him who seeth all things, fled amain, one running into this way, another that way, so as that they were often hurt of their own men, and wounded with the points of their own swords.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:24 @ Moreover Timotheus himself fell into the hands of Dositheus and Sosipater, whom he besought with much craft to let him go with his life, because he had many of the Jews' parents, and the brethren of some of them, who, if they put him to death, should not be regarded.

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:12:36 @ Now when they that were with Gorgias had fought long, and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord, that he would shew himself to be their helper and leader of the battle.

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@2Maccabees:12:42 @ Betook themselves unto prayer, and besought him that the sin committed might wholly be put out of remembrance. Besides, that noble Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves from sin, forsomuch as they saw before their eyes the things that came to pass for the sins of those that were slain.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:44 @ For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should have risen again, it had been superfluous and vain to pray for the dead.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:3 @ Menelaus also joined himself with them, and with great dissimulation encouraged Antiochus, not for the safeguard of the country, but because he thought to have been made governor.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:5 @ Now there was in that place a tower of fifty cubits high, full of ashes, and it had a round instrument which on every side hanged down into the ashes.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:7 @ Such a death it happened that wicked man to die, not having so much as burial in the earth; and that most justly:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:9 @ Now the king came with a barbarous and haughty mind to do far worse to the Jews, than had been done in his father's time.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:10 @ Which things when Judas perceived, he commanded the multitude to call upon the Lord night and day, that if ever at any other time, he would now also help them, being at the point to be put from their law, from their country, and from the holy temple:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:11 @ This was no sooner spoken of him, but others of the king's friends, being maliciously set against Judas, did more incense Demetrius.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:12 @ And forthwith calling Nicanor, who had been master of the elephants, and making him governor over Judea, he sent him forth,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:14 @ Then the heathen, that had fled out of Judea from Judas, came to Nicanor by flocks, thinking the harm and calamities ot the Jews to be their welfare.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:17 @ Now Simon, Judas' brother, had joined battle with Nicanor, but was somewhat discomfited through the sudden silence of his enemies.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:18 @ Nevertheless Nicanor, hearing of the manliness of them that were with Judas, and the courageousness that they had to fight for their country, durst not try the matter by the sword.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:23 @ Now Nicanor abode in Jerusalem, and did no hurt, but sent away the people that came flocking unto him.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:24 @ And he would not willingly have Judas out of his sight: for he love the man from his heart

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:26 @ But Alcimus, perceiving the love that was betwixt them, and considering the covenants that were made, came to Demetrius, and told him that Nicanor was not well affected toward the state; for that he had ordained Judas, a traitor to his realm, to be the king's successor.

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:14:29 @ But because there was no dealing against the king, he watched his time to accomplish this thing by policy.

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:14:33 @ He stretched out his right hand toward the temple, and made an oath in this manner: If ye will not deliver me Judas as a prisoner, I will lay this temple of God even with the ground, and I will break down the altar, and erect a notable temple unto Bacchus.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:37 @ Now was there accused unto Nicanor one Razis, one of the elders of Jerusalem, a lover of his countrymen, and a man of very good report, who for his kindness was called a father of the Jews.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:38 @ For in the former times, when they mingled not themselves with the Gentiles, he had been accused of Judaism, and did boldly jeopard his body and life with all vehemency for the religion of the Jews.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:39 @ So Nicanor, willing to declare the hate that he bare unto the Jews, sent above five hundred men of war to take him:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:41 @ Now when the multitude would have taken the tower, and violently broken into the outer door, and bade that fire should be brought to burn it, he being ready to be taken on every side fell upon his sword;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:8 @ Wherefore he exhorted his people not to fear the coming of the heathen against them, but to remember the help which in former times they had received from heaven, and now to expect the victory and aid, which should come unto them from the Almighty.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:11 @ Thus he armed every one of them, not so much with defence of shields and spears, as with comfortable and good words: and beside that, he told them a dream worthy to be believed, as if it had been so indeed, which did not a little rejoice them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:17 @ Thus being well comforted by the words of Judas, which were very good, and able to stir them up to valour, and to encourage the hearts of the young men, they determined not to pitch camp, but courageously to set upon them, and manfully to try the matter by conflict, because the city and the sanctuary and the temple were in danger.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:19 @ Also they that were in the city took not the least care, being troubled for the conflict abroad.

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@2Maccabees:15:23 @ Wherefore now also, O Lord of heaven, send a good angel before us for a fear and dread unto them;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:28 @ Now when the battle was done, returning again with joy, they knew that Nicanor lay dead in his harness.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:29 @ Then they made a great shout and a noise, praising the Almighty in their own language.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:30 @ And Judas, who was ever the chief defender of the citizens both in body and mind, and who continued his love toward his countrymen all his life, commanded to strike off Nicanor's head, and his hand with his shoulder, and bring them to Jerusalem.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:32 @ And shewed them vile Nicanor's head, and the hand of that blasphemer, which with proud brags he had stretched out against the holy temple of the Almighty.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:33 @ And when he had cut out the tongue of that ungodly Nicanor, he commanded that they should give it by pieces unto the fowls, and hang up the reward of his madness before the temple.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:35 @ He hanged also Nicanor's head upon the tower, an evident and manifest sign unto all of the help of the Lord.

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@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:6:36 @ They can save no man from death, neither deliver the weak from the mighty.

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah:6:37 @ They cannot restore a blind man to his sight, nor help any man in his distress.

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@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:2:13 @ 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: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:4:20 @ And now I signify this to they that I committed ten talents to Gabael the son of Gabrias at Rages in Media.

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:5:5 @ But he knew not; and he said unto him, Canst thou go with me to Rages? and knowest thou those places well?

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:5:11 @ 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:5:17 @ 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:5:18 @ Be not greedy to add money to money: but let it be as refuse in respect of our child.

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:6:12 @ 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:7:1 @ And when they were come to Ecbatane, they came to the house of Raguel, and Sara met them: and after they had saluted one another, she brought them into the house.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:7:4 @ Then he said to them, Do ye know Tobit our kinsman? And they said, We know him. Then said he, Is he in good health?

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:10:2 @ Then Tobit said, Are they detained? or is Gabael dead, and there is no man to give him the money?

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:10:9 @ But Tobias said, No; but let me go to my father.

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:11:2 @ Then Raphael said to Tobias, Thou knowest, brother, how thou didst leave thy father:

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:7 @ Then said Raphael, I know, Tobias, that thy father will open his eyes.

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

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

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:12:13 @ And when thou didst not delay to rise up, and leave thy dinner, to go and cover the dead, thy good deed was not hid from me: but I was with thee.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:12:14 @ And now God hath sent me to heal thee and Sara thy daughter in law.

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:12:19 @ All these days I did appear unto you; but I did neither eat nor drink, but ye did see a vision.

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:12:21 @ And when they arose, they saw him no more.

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

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:14:13 @ Where he became old with honour, and he buried his father and mother in law honourably, and he inherited their substance, and his father Tobit's.

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:1:4 @ 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:1:10 @ 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:1:12 @ Seek not death in the error of your life: and pull not upon yourselves destruction with the works of your hands.

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:1:16 @ 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:2:22 @ 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: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:7:5 @ For there is no king that had any other beginning of birth.

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

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:7:13 @ I learned diligently, and do communicate her liberally: I do not hide her riches.

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:7:21 @ And all such things as are either secret or manifest, them I know.

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:7:25 @ 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:7:28 @ For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:8:1 @ Wisdom reacheth from one end to another mightily: and sweetly doth she order all things.

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

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:8:17 @ Now when I considered these things in myself, and pondered them in my heart, how that to be allied unto wisdom is immortality;

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:9:4 @ Give me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne; and reject me not from among thy children:

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:9:9 @ And wisdom was with thee: which knoweth thy works, and was present when thou madest the world, and knew what was acceptable in thy sight, and right in thy commandments.

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

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:9:17 @ And thy counsel who hath known, except thou give wisdom, and send thy Holy Spirit from above?

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:11:2 @ They went through the wilderness that was not inhabited, and pitched tents in places where there lay no way.

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:11:16 @ That they might know, that wherewithal a man sinneth, by the same also shall he be punished.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:11:19 @ Whereof not only the harm might dispatch them at once, but also the terrible sight utterly destroy them.

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:11:25 @ And how could any thing have endured, if it had not been thy will? or been preserved, if not called by thee?

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

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

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:12:15 @ 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:12:17 @ 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:12:24 @ 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:12:26 @ 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:13:1 @ 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;

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:13:9 @ 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:13:16 @ 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: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:14:15 @ 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:14:20 @ 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:14:22 @ 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:14:24 @ They kept neither lives nor marriages any longer undefiled: but either one slew another traiterously, or grieved him by adultery.

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:14:29 @ 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:15:9 @ Notwithstanding his care is, not that he shall have much labour, nor that his life is short: but striveth to excel goldsmiths and silversmiths, and endeavoureth to do like the workers in brass, and counteth it his glory to make counterfeit things.

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:15:13 @ 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: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:16:7 @ 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:16:10 @ 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:16:14 @ 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:16:15 @ But it is not possible to escape thine hand.

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:16:18 @ 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:16:19 @ And at another time it burneth even in the midst of water above the power of fire, that it might destroy the fruits of an unjust land.

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

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

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

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:16:28 @ That it might be known, that we must prevent the sun to give thee thanks, and at the dayspring pray unto thee.

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

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

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:17:9 @ 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:17:12 @ For fear is nothing else but a betraying of the succours which reason offereth.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:17:13 @ And the expectation from within, being less, counteth the ignorance more than the cause which bringeth the torment.

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

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:18:1 @ Nevertheless thy saints had a very great light, whose voice they hearing, and not seeing their shape, because they also had not suffered the same things, they counted them happy.

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

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:18:9 @ 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:18:18 @ And one thrown here, and another there, half dead, shewed the cause of his death.

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

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:18:25 @ 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:19:3 @ 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:19:13 @ 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:19:15 @ And not only so, but peradventure some respect shall be had of those, because they used strangers not friendly:

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