apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:44 @ And Alnathan, and Mamaias, and Joribas, and Nathan, Eunatan, Zacharias, and Mosollamon, principal men and learned.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:47 @ And by the mighty hand of our Lord they brought unto us skilful men of the sons of Moli the son of Levi, the son of Israel, Asebebia, and his sons, and his brethren, who were eighteen.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:48 @ And Asebia, and Annus, and Osaias his brother, of the sons of Channuneus, and their sons, were twenty men.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:53 @ And again we besought our Lord as touching these things, and found him favourable unto us.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:60 @ So the priests and the Levites, who had received the silver and the gold and the vessels, brought them unto Jerusalem, into the temple of the Lord.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:61 @ And from the river Theras we departed the twelfth day of the first month, and came to Jerusalem by the mighty hand of our Lord, which was with us: and from the beginning of our journey the Lord delivered us from every enemy, and so we came to Jerusalem.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:62 @ And when we had been there three days, the gold and silver that was weighed was delivered in the house of our Lord on the fourth day unto Marmoth the priest the son of Iri.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:63 @ And with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them were Josabad the son of Jesu and Moeth the son of Sabban, Levites: all was delivered them by number and weight.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:70 @ For both they and their sons have married with their daughters, and the holy seed is mixed with the strange people of the land; and from the beginning of this matter the rulers and the great men have been partakers of this iniquity.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:71 @ And as soon as I had heard these things, I rent my clothes, and the holy garment, and pulled off the hair from off my head and beard, and sat me down sad and very heavy.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:72 @ So all they that were then moved at the word of the Lord God of Israel assembled unto me, whilst I mourned for the iniquity: but I sat still full of heaviness until the evening sacrifice.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:90 @ 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:8:96 @ So Esdras arose, and took an oath of the chief of the priests and Levites of all Israel to do after these things; and so they sware.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:1 @ Then Esdras rising from the court of the temple went to the chamber of Joanan the son of Eliasib,

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:4 @ 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:9:7 @ So Esdras arose up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed the law in marrying strange wives, thereby to increase the sins of Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:10 @ Then cried the whole multitude, and said with a loud voice, Like as thou hast spoken, so will we do.

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:9:14 @ Then Jonathan the son of Azael and Ezechias the son of Theocanus accordingly took this matter upon them: and Mosollam and Levis and Sabbatheus helped them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:17 @ So their cause that held strange wives was brought to an end in the first day of the first month.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:19 @ Of the sons of Jesus the son of Josedec, and his brethren; Matthelas and Eleazar, and Joribus and Joadanus.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:35 @ And of the sons of Ethma; Mazitias, Zabadaias, Edes, Juel, Banaias.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:37 @ And the priests and Levites, and they that were of Israel, dwelt in Jerusalem, and in the country, in the first day of the seventh month: so the children of Israel were in their habitations.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:40 @ So Esdras the chief priest brought the law unto the whole multitude from man to woman, and to all the priests, to hear law in the first day of the seventh month.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:46 @ And when he opened the law, they stood all straight up. So Esdras blessed the Lord God most High, the God of hosts, Almighty.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:48 @ Also Jesus, Anus, Sarabias, Adinus, Jacubus, Sabateas, Auteas, Maianeas, and Calitas, Asrias, and Joazabdus, and Ananias, Biatas, the Levites, taught the law of the Lord, making them withal to understand it.

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:1:1 @ And it happened, after that Alexander son of Philip, the Macedonian, who came out of the land of Chettiim, had smitten Darius king of the Persians and Medes, that he reigned in his stead, the first over Greece,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:3 @ And went through to the ends of the earth, and took spoils of many nations, insomuch that the earth was quiet before him; whereupon he was exalted and his heart was lifted up.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:7 @ So Alexander reigned twelves years, and then died.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:9 @ And after his death they all put crowns upon themselves; so did their sons after them many years: and evils were multiplied in the earth.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:10 @ And there came out of them a wicked root Antiochus surnamed Epiphanes, son of Antiochus the king, who had been an hostage at Rome, and he reigned in the hundred and thirty and seventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:11 @ In those days went there out of Israel wicked men, who persuaded many, saying, Let us go and make a covenant with the heathen that are round about us: for since we departed from them we have had much sorrow.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:12 @ So this device pleased them well.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:13 @ Then certain of the people were so forward herein, that they went to the king, who gave them licence to do after the ordinances of the heathen:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:15 @ And made themselves uncircumcised, and forsook the holy covenant, and joined themselves to the heathen, and were sold to do mischief.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:23 @ He took also the silver and the gold, and the precious vessels: also he took the hidden treasures which he found.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:26 @ So that the princes and elders mourned, the virgins and young men were made feeble, and the beauty of women was changed.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:28 @ The land also was moved for the inhabitants thereof, and all the house of Jacob was covered with confusion.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:30 @ And spake peaceable words unto them, but all was deceit: for when they had given him credence, he fell suddenly upon the city, and smote it very sore, and destroyed much people of Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:35 @ They stored it also with armour and victuals, and when they had gathered together the spoils of Jerusalem, they laid them up there, and so they became a sore snare:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:38 @ Insomuch that the inhabitants of Jerusalem fled because of them: whereupon the city was made an habitation of strangers, and became strange to those that were born in her; and her own children left her.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:40 @ As had been her glory, so was her dishonour increased, and her excellency was turned into mourning.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:42 @ And every one should leave his laws: so all the heathen agreed according to the commandment of the king.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:43 @ Yea, many also of the Israelites consented to his religion, and sacrificed unto idols, and profaned the sabbath.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:48 @ That they should also leave their children uncircumcised, and make their souls abominable with all manner of uncleanness and profanation:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:50 @ And whosoever would not do according to the commandment of the king, he said, he should die.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:52 @ Then many of the people were gathered unto them, to wit every one that forsook the law; and so they committed evils in the land;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:53 @ And drove the Israelites into secret places, even wheresoever they could flee for succour.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:54 @ Now the fifteenth day of the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and fifth year, they set up the abomination of desolation upon the altar, and builded idol altars throughout the cities of Juda on every side;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:57 @ And whosoever was found with any the book of the testament, or if any committed to the law, the king's commandment was, that they should put him to death.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:62 @ 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:2:1 @ In those days arose Mattathias the son of John, the son of Simeon, a priest of the sons of Joarib, from Jerusalem, and dwelt in Modin.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:2 @ And he had five sons, Joannan, called Caddis:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:14 @ Then Mattathias and his sons rent their clothes, and put on sackcloth, and mourned very sore.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:16 @ And when many of Israel came unto them, Mattathias also and his sons came together.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:17 @ Then answered the king's officers, and said to Mattathias on this wise, Thou art a ruler, and an honourable and great man in this city, and strengthened with sons and brethren:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:18 @ Now therefore come thou first, and fulfil the king's commandment, like as all the heathen have done, yea, and the men of Juda also, and such as remain at Jerusalem: so shalt thou and thy house be in the number of the king's friends, and thou and thy children shall be honoured with silver and gold, and many rewards.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:20 @ Yet will I and my sons and my brethren walk in the covenant of our fathers.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:25 @ Also the king's commissioner, who compelled men to sacrifice, he killed at that time, and the altar he pulled down.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:26 @ Thus dealt he zealously for the law of God like as Phinees did unto Zambri the son of Salom.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:27 @ And Mattathias cried throughout the city with a loud voice, saying, Whosoever is zealous of the law, and maintaineth the covenant, let him follow me.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:28 @ So he and his sons fled into the mountains, and left all that ever they had in the city.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:29 @ Then many that sought after justice and judgment went down into the wilderness, to dwell there:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:30 @ Both they, and their children, and their wives; and their cattle; because afflictions increased sore upon them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:35 @ So then they gave them the battle with all speed.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:38 @ So they rose up against them in battle on the sabbath, and they slew them, with their wives and children and their cattle, to the number of a thousand people.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:46 @ And what children soever they found within the coast of Israel uncircumcised, those they circumcised valiantly.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:47 @ They pursued also after the proud men, and the work prospered in their hand.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:48 @ So they recovered the law out of the hand of the Gentiles, and out of the hand of kings, neither suffered they the sinner to triumph.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:49 @ Now when the time drew near that Mattathias should die, he said unto his sons, Now hath pride and rebuke gotten strength, and the time of destruction, and the wrath of indignation:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:50 @ Now therefore, my sons, be ye zealous for the law, and give your lives for the covenant of your fathers.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:51 @ Call to remembrance what acts our fathers did in their time; so shall ye receive great honour and an everlasting name.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:64 @ Wherefore, ye my sons, be valiant and shew yourselves men in the behalf of the law; for by it shall ye obtain glory.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:67 @ Take also unto you all those that observe the law, and avenge ye the wrong of your people.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:69 @ So he blessed them, and was gathered to his fathers.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:70 @ And he died in the hundred forty and sixth year, and his sons buried him in the sepulchres of his fathers at Modin, and all Israel made great lamentation for him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:1 @ Then his son Judas, called Maccabeus, rose up in his stead.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:2 @ And all his brethren helped him, and so did all they that held with his father, and they fought with cheerfulness the battle of Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:3 @ So he gat his people great honour, and put on a breastplate as a giant, and girt his warlike harness about him, and he made battles, protecting the host with his sword.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:5 @ For He pursued the wicked, and sought them out, and burnt up those that vexed his people.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:7 @ He grieved also many kings, and made Jacob glad with his acts, and his memorial is blessed for ever.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:9 @ So that he was renowned unto the utmost part of the earth, and he received unto him such as were ready to perish.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:11 @ Which thing when Judas perceived, he went forth to meet him, and so he smote him, and slew him: many also fell down slain, but the rest fled.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:12 @ Wherefore Judas took their spoils, and Apollonius' sword also, and therewith he fought all his life long.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:15 @ So he made him ready to go up, and there went with him a mighty host of the ungodly to help him, and to be avenged of the children of Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:17 @ Who, when they saw the host coming to meet them, said unto Judas, How shall we be able, being so few, to fight against so great a multitude and so strong, seeing we are ready to faint with fasting all this day?

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:3:26 @ Insomuch as his fame came unto the king, and all nations talked of the battles of Judas.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:32 @ 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:3:33 @ And to bring up his son Antiochus, until he came again.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:34 @ Moreover he delivered unto him the half of his forces, and the elephants, and gave him charge of all things that he would have done, as also concerning them that dwelt in Juda and Jerusalem:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:37 @ So the king took the half of the forces that remained, and departed from Antioch, his royal city, the hundred forty and seventh year; and having passed the river Euphrates, he went through the high countries.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:41 @ And the merchants of the country, hearing the fame of them, took silver and gold very much, with servants, and came into the camp to buy the children of Israel for slaves: a power also of Syria and of the land of the Philistines joined themselves unto them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:45 @ 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:3:48 @ And laid open the book of the law, wherein the heathen had sought to paint the likeness of their images.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:49 @ They brought also the priests' garments, and the firstfruits, and the tithes: and the Nazarites they stirred up, who had accomplished their days.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:54 @ Then sounded they with trumpets, and cried with a loud voice.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:57 @ So the camp removed, and pitched upon the south side of Emmaus.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:60 @ Nevertheless, as the will of God is in heaven, so let him do.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:13 @ Wherefore they went out of the camp to battle; but they that were with Judas sounded their trumpets.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:14 @ So they joined battle, and the heathen being discomfited fled into the plain.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:15 @ Howbeit all the hindmost of them were slain with the sword: for they pursued them unto Gazera, and unto the plains of Idumea, and Azotus, and Jamnia, so that there were slain of them upon a three thousand men.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:21 @ When therefore they perceived these things, they were sore afraid, and seeing also the host of Judas in the plain ready to fight,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:24 @ After this they went home, and sung a song of thanksgiving, and praised the Lord in heaven: because it is good, because his mercy endureth forever.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:29 @ So they came into Idumea, and pitched their tents at Bethsura, and Judas met them with ten thousand men.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:30 @ And when he saw that mighty army, he prayed and said, Blessed art thou, O Saviour of Israel, who didst quell the violence of the mighty man by the hand of thy servant David, and gavest the host of strangers into the hands of Jonathan the son of Saul, and his armourbearer;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:34 @ So they joined battle; and there were slain of the host of Lysias about five thousand men, even before them were they slain.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:35 @ 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:4:38 @ And when they saw the sanctuary desolate, and the altar profaned, and the gates burned up, and shrubs growing in the courts as in a forest, or in one of the mountains, yea, and the priests' chambers pulled down;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:42 @ So he chose priests of blameless conversation, such as had pleasure in the law:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:49 @ They made also new holy vessels, and into the temple they brought the candlestick, and the altar of burnt offerings, and of incense, and the table.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:54 @ Look, at what time and what day the heathen had profaned it, even in that was it dedicated with songs, and citherns, and harps, and cymbals.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:56 @ And so they kept the dedication of the altar eight days and offered burnt offerings with gladness, and sacrificed the sacrifice of deliverance and praise.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:57 @ They decked also the forefront of the temple with crowns of gold, and with shields; and the gates and the chambers they renewed, and hanged doors upon them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:59 @ Moreover Judas and his brethren with the whole congregation of Israel ordained, that the days of the dedication of the altar should be kept in their season from year to year by the space of eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month Casleu, with mirth and gladness.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:4 @ Also he remembered the injury of the children of Bean, who had been a snare and an offence unto the people, in that they lay in wait for them in the ways.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:13 @ Yea, all our brethren that were in the places of Tobie are put to death: their wives and their children also they have carried away captives, and borne away their stuff; and they have destroyed there about a thousand men.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:18 @ So he left Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains of the people, with the remnant of the host in Judea to keep it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:21 @ Then went Simon into Galilee, where he fought many battles with the heathen, so that the heathen were discomfited by him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:24 @ Judas Maccabeus also and his brother Jonathan went over Jordan, and travelled three days' journey in the wilderness,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:26 @ And how that many of them were shut up in Bosora, and Bosor, and Alema, Casphor, Maked, and Carnaim; all these cities are strong and great:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:28 @ Hereupon Judas and his host turned suddenly by the way of the wilderness unto Bosora; and when he had won the city, he slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burned the city with fire,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:31 @ When Judas therefore saw that the battle was begun, and that the cry of the city went up to heaven, with trumpets, and a great sound,

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:34 @ Then the host of Timotheus, knowing that it was Maccabeus, fled from him: wherefore he smote them with a great slaughter; so that there were killed of them that day about eight thousand men.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:36 @ From thence went he, and took Casphon, Maged, Bosor, and the other cities of the country of Galaad.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:38 @ So Judas sent men to espy the host, who brought him word, saying, All the heathen that be round about us are assembled unto them, even a very great host.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:39 @ He hath also hired the Arabians to help them and they have pitched their tents beyond the brook, ready to come and fight against thee. Upon this Judas went to meet them.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:50 @ So the soldiers pitched, and assaulted the city all that day and all that night, till at the length the city was delivered into his hands:

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:5:56 @ Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains of the garrisons, heard of the valiant acts and warlike deeds which they had done.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:58 @ So when they had given charge unto the garrison that was with them, they went toward Jamnia.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:60 @ And so it was, that Joseph and Azaras were put to flight, and pursued unto the borders of Judea: and there were slain that day of the people of Israel about two thousand men.

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:5:63 @ 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:5:64 @ Insomuch as the the people assembled unto them with joyful acclamations.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:65 @ Afterward went Judas forth with his brethren, and fought against the children of Esau in the land toward the south, where he smote Hebron, and the towns thereof, and pulled down the fortress of it, and burned the towers thereof round about.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:68 @ So Judas turned to Azotus in the land of the Philistines, and when he had pulled down their altars, and burned their carved images with fire, and spoiled their cities, he returned into the land of Judea.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:2 @ And that there was in it a very rich temple, wherein were coverings of gold, and breastplates, and shields, which Alexander, son of Philip, the Macedonian king, who reigned first among the Grecians, had left there.

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:17 @ 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:6:18 @ About this time they that were in the tower shut up the Israelites round about the sanctuary, and sought always their hurt, and the strengthening of the heathen.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:25 @ Neither have they stretched out their hand against us only, but also against their borders.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:29 @ There came also unto him from other kingdoms, and from isles of the sea, bands of hired soldiers.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:30 @ So that the number of his army was an hundred thousand footmen, and twenty thousand horsemen, and two and thirty elephants exercised in battle.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:33 @ Then the king rising very early marched fiercely with his host toward Bathzacharias, where his armies made them ready to battle, and sounded the trumpets.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:40 @ So part of the king's army being spread upon the high mountains, and part on the valleys below, they marched on safely and in order.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:45 @ Wherefore he ran upon him courageously through the midst of the battle, slaying on the right hand and on the left, so that they were divided from him on both sides.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:50 @ So the king took Bethsura, and set a garrison there to keep it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:52 @ Whereupon they also made engines against their engines, and held them battle a long season.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:54 @ There were but a few left in the sanctuary, because the famine did so prevail against them, that they were fain to disperse themselves, every man to his own place.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:55 @ At that time Lysias heard say, that Philip, whom Antiochus the king, whiles he lived, had appointed to bring up his son Antiochus, that he might be king,

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:61 @ Also the king and the princes made an oath unto them: whereupon they went out of the strong hold.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:63 @ Afterward departed he in all haste, and returned unto Antiochia, where he found Philip to be master of the city: so he fought against him, and took the city by force.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:1 @ In the hundred and one and fiftieth year Demetrius the son of Seleucus departed from Rome, and came up with a few men unto a city of the sea coast, and reigned there.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:2 @ And as he entered into the palace of his ancestors, so it was, that his forces had taken Antiochus and Lysias, to bring them unto him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:4 @ 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:7:10 @ So they departed, and came with a great power into the land of Judea, where they sent messengers to Judas and his brethren with peaceable words deceitfully.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:13 @ Now the Assideans were the first among the children of Israel that sought peace of them:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:15 @ 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:7:19 @ After this, removed Bacchides from Jerusalem, and pitched his tents in Bezeth, where he sent and took many of the men that had forsaken him, and certain of the people also, and when he had slain them, he cast them into the great pit.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:20 @ Then committed he the country to Alcimus, and left with him a power to aid him: so Bacchides went to the king.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:24 @ He went out into all the coasts of Judea round about, and took vengeance of them that had revolted from him, so that they durst no more go forth into the country.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:30 @ 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:7:39 @ 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:7:45 @ Then they pursued after them a day's journey, from Adasa unto Gazera, sounding an alarm after them with their trumpets.

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:8:2 @ 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:8:4 @ And that by their policy and patience they had conquered all the place, though it were very far from them; and the kings also that came against them from the uttermost part of the earth, till they had discomfited them, and given them a great overthrow, so that the rest did give them tribute every year:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:6 @ How also Antiochus the great king of Asia, that came against them in battle, having an hundred and twenty elephants, with horsemen, and chariots, and a very great army, was discomfited by them;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:12 @ But with their friends and such as relied upon them they kept amity: and that they had conquered kingdoms both far and nigh, insomuch as all that heard of their name were afraid of them:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:13 @ Also that, whom they would help to a kingdom, those reign; and whom again they would, they displace: finally, that they were greatly exalted:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:17 @ In consideration of these things, Judas chose Eupolemus the son of John, the son of Accos, and Jason the son of Eleazar, and sent them to Rome, to make a league of amity and confederacy with them,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:21 @ So that matter pleased the Romans well.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:23 @ Good success be to the Romans, and to the people of the Jews, by sea and by land for ever: the sword also and enemy be far from them,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:27 @ In the same manner also, if war come first upon the nation of the Jews, the Romans shall help them with all their heart, according as the time shall be appointed them:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:30 @ Howbeit if hereafter the one party or the other shall think to meet to add or diminish any thing, they may do it at their pleasures, and whatsoever they shall add or take away shall be ratified.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:3 @ Also the first month of the hundred fifty and second year they encamped before Jerusalem:

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:13 @ 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:9:17 @ Whereupon there was a sore battle, insomuch as many were slain on both parts.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:18 @ Judas also was killed, and the remnant fled.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:24 @ In those days also was there a very great famine, by reason whereof the country revolted, and went with them.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:42 @ So when they had avenged fully the blood of their brother, they turned again to the marsh of Jordan.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:49 @ So there were slain of Bacchides' side that day about a thousand men.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:51 @ And in them he set a garrison, that they might work malice upon Israel.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:54 @ Moreover in the hundred fifty and third year, in the second month, Alcimus commanded that the wall of the inner court of the sanctuary should be pulled down; he pulled down also the works of the prophets

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:9:56 @ So Alcimus died at that time with great torment.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:64 @ Then went he and laid siege against Bethbasi; and they fought against it a long season and made engines of war.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:70 @ 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:9:72 @ When therefore he had restored unto him the prisoners that he had taken aforetime out of the land of Judea, he returned and went his way into his own land, neither came he any more into their borders.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:1 @ In the hundred and sixtieth year Alexander, the son of Antiochus surnamed Epiphanes, went up and took Ptolemais: for the people had received him, by means whereof he reigned there,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:3 @ Moreover Demetrius sent letters unto Jonathan with loving words, so as he magnified him.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:8 @ Who were sore afraid, when they heard that the king had given him authority to gather together an host.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:13 @ Insomuch as every man left his place, and went into his own country.

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:10:21 @ So in the seventh month of the hundred and sixtieth year, at the feast of the tabernacles, Jonathan put on the holy robe, and gathered together forces, and provided much armour.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:22 @ Whereof when Demetrius heard, he was very sorry, and said,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:24 @ I also will write unto them words of encouragement, and promise them dignities and gifts, that I may have their aid.

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:10:31 @ Let Jerusalem also be holy and free, with the borders thereof, both from tenths and tributes.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:34 @ Furthermore I will that all the feasts, and sabbaths, and new moons, and solemn days, and the three days before the feast, and the three days after the feast shall be all of immunity and freedom for all the Jews in my realm.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:35 @ 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:10:43 @ And whosoever they be that flee unto the temple at Jerusalem, or be within the liberties hereof, being indebted unto the king, or for any other matter, let them be at liberty, and all that they have in my realm.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:50 @ And he continued the battle very sore until the sun went down: and that day was Demetrius slain.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:53 @ For after I had joined battle with him, both he and his host was discomfited by us, so that we sit in the throne of his kingdom:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:54 @ Now therefore let us make a league of amity together, and give me now thy daughter to wife: and I will be thy son in law, and will give both thee and her as according to thy dignity.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:57 @ So Ptolemee went out of Egypt with his daughter Cleopatra, and they came unto Ptolemais in the hundred threescore and second year:

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:65 @ 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:10:67 @ Furthermore in the; hundred threescore and fifth year came Demetrius son of Demetrius out of Crete into the land of his fathers:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:68 @ Whereof when king Alexander heard tell, he was right sorry, and returned into Antioch.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:74 @ So when Jonathan heard these words of Apollonius, he was moved in his mind, and choosing ten thousand men he went out of Jerusalem, where Simon his brother met him for to help him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:75 @ And he pitched his tents against Joppa: but; they of Joppa shut him out of the city, because Apollonius had a garrison there.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:81 @ But the people stood still, as Jonathan had commanded them: and so the enemies' horses were tired.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:89 @ And sent him a buckle of gold, as the use is to be given to such as are of the king's blood: he gave him also Accaron with the borders thereof in possession.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:2 @ Whereupon he took his journey into Spain in peaceable manner, so as they of the cities opened unto him, and met him: for king Alexander had commanded them so to do, because he was his brother in law.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:5 @ Also they told the king whatsoever Jonathan had done, to the intent he might blame him: but the king held his peace.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:14 @ In the mean season was king Alexander in Cilicia, because those that dwelt in those parts had revolted from him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:16 @ So Alexander fled into Arabia there to be defended; but king Ptolemee was exalted:

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:11:21 @ Then came ungodly persons, who hated their own people, went unto the king, and told him that Jonathan besieged the tower,

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:28 @ Then Jonathan desired the king, that he would make Judea free from tribute, as also the three governments, with the country of Samaria; and he promised him three hundred talents.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:29 @ So the king consented, and wrote letters unto Jonathan of all these things after this manner:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:35 @ And as for other things that belong unto us, of the tithes and customs pertaining unto us, as also the saltpits, and the crown taxes, which are due unto us, we discharge them of them all for their relief.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:39 @ Moreover there was one Tryphon, that had been of Alexander's part afore, who, seeing that all the host murmured against Demetrius, went to Simalcue the Arabian that brought up Antiochus the young son of Alexander,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:40 @ And lay sore upon him to deliver him this young Antiochus, that he might reign in his father's stead: he told him therefore all that Demetrius had done, and how his men of war were at enmity with him, and there he remained a long season.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:41 @ In the mean time Jonathan sent unto king Demetrius, that he would cast those of the tower out of Jerusalem, and those also in the fortresses: for they fought against Israel.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:48 @ Also they set fire on the city, and gat many spoils that day, and delivered the king.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:49 @ So when they of the city saw that the Jews had got the city as they would, their courage was abated: wherefore they made supplication to the king, and cried, saying,

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:59 @ His brother Simon also he made captain from the place called The ladder of Tyrus unto the borders of Egypt.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:62 @ Afterward, when they of Gaza made supplication unto Jonathan, he made peace with them, and took the sons of their chief men for hostages, and sent them to Jerusalem, and passed through the country unto Damascus.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:65 @ Then Simon encamped against Bethsura and fought against it a long season, and shut it up:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:66 @ But they desired to have peace with him, which he granted them, and then put them out from thence, and took the city, and set a garrison in it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:67 @ As for Jonathan and his host, they pitched at the water of Gennesar, from whence betimes in the morning they gat them to the plain of Nasor.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:69 @ So when they that lay in ambush rose out of their places and joined battle, all that were of Jonathan's side fled;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:70 @ Insomuch as there was not one of them left, except Mattathias the son of Absalom, and Judas the son of Calphi, the captains of the host.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:72 @ Afterwards turning again to battle, he put them to flight, and so they ran away.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:74 @ So there were slain of the heathen that day about three thousand men: but Jonathan returned to Jerusalem.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:3 @ So they went unto Rome, and entered into the senate, and said, Jonathan the high priest, and the people of the Jews, sent us unto you, to the end ye should renew the friendship, which ye had with them, and league, as in former time.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:9 @ Therefore we also, albeit we need none of these things, that we have the holy books of scripture in our hands to comfort us,

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:16 @ For this cause we chose Numenius the son of Antiochus, and Antipater he son of Jason, and sent them unto the Romans, to renew the amity that we had with them, and the former league.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:17 @ We commanded them also to go unto you, and to salute and to deliver you our letters concerning the renewing of our brotherhood.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:32 @ And removing thence, he came to Damascus, and so passed through all the country,

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:36 @ And making the walls of Jerusalem higher, and raising a great mount between the tower and the city, for to separate it from the city, that so it might be alone, that men might neither sell nor buy in it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:38 @ Simon also set up Adida in Sephela, and made it strong with gates and bars.

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:12:44 @ 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:12:46 @ So Jonathan believing him did as he bade him, and sent away his host, who went into the land of Judea.

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:12:52 @ Whereupon they all came into the land of Judea peaceably, and there they bewailed Jonathan, and them that were with him, and they were sore afraid; wherefore all Israel made great lamentation.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:7 @ Now as soon as the people heard these words, their spirit revived.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:9 @ Fight thou our battles, and whatsoever, thou commandest us, that will we do.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:10 @ So then he gathered together all the men of war, and made haste to finish the walls of Jerusalem, and he fortified it round about.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:11 @ Also he sent Jonathan the son of Absolom, and with him a great power, to Joppa: who casting out them that were therein remained there in it.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:16 @ 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:13:19 @ So he sent them the children and the hundred talents: howbeit Tryphon dissembled neither would he let Jonathan go.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:20 @ And after this came Tryphon to invade the land, and destroy it, going round about by the way that leadeth unto Adora: but Simon and his host marched against him in every place, wheresoever he went.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:22 @ 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:13:27 @ Simon also built a monument upon the sepulchre of his father and his brethren, and raised it aloft to the sight, with hewn stone behind and before.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:36 @ King Demetrius unto Simon the high priest, and friend of kings, as also unto the elders and nation of the Jews, sendeth greeting:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:38 @ And whatsoever covenants we have made with you shall stand; and the strong holds, which ye have builded, shall be your own.

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:13:43 @ In those days Simon camped against Gaza and besieged it round about; he made also an engine of war, and set it by the city, and battered a certain tower, and took it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:45 @ Insomuch as the people of the city rent their clothes, and climbed upon the walls with their wives and children, and cried with a loud voice, beseeching Simon to grant them peace.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:47 @ So Simon was appeased toward them, and fought no more against them, but put them out of the city, and cleansed the houses wherein the idols were, and so entered into it with songs and thanksgiving.

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:13:51 @ And entered into it the three and twentieth day of the second month in the hundred seventy and first year, with thanksgiving, and branches of palm trees, and with harps, and cymbals, and with viols, and hymns, and songs: because there was destroyed a great enemy out of Israel.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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:14:14 @ Moreover he strengthened all those of his people that were brought low: the law he searched out; and every contemner of the law and wicked person he took away.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:16 @ Now when it was heard at Rome, and as far as Sparta, that Jonathan was dead, they were very sorry.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:17 @ But as soon as they heard that his brother Simon was made high priest in his stead, and ruled the country, and the cities therein:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:22 @ And did register the things that they spake in the council of the people in this manner; Numenius son of Antiochus, and Antipater son of Jason, the Jews' ambassadors, came unto us to renew the friendship they had with us.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:25 @ Whereof when the people heard, they said, What thanks shall we give to Simon and his sons?

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:27 @ So then they wrote it in tables of brass, which they set upon pillars in mount Sion: and this is the copy of the writing; The eighteenth day of the month Elul, in the hundred threescore and twelfth year, being the third year of Simon the high priest,

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:14:33 @ And fortified the cities of Judea, together with Bethsura, that lieth upon the borders of Judea, where the armour of the enemies had been before; but he set a garrison of Jews there:

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:14:36 @ For in his time things prospered in his hands, so that the heathen were taken out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David in Jerusalem, who had made themselves a tower, out of which they issued, and polluted all about the sanctuary, and did much hurt in the holy place:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:38 @ King Demetrius also confirmed him in the high priesthood according to those things,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:41 @ Also that the Jews and priests were well pleased that Simon should be their governor and high priest for ever, until there should arise a faithful prophet;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:44 @ Also that it should be lawful for none of the people or priests to break any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to gather an assembly in the country without him, or to be clothed in purple, or wear a buckle of gold;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:45 @ And whosoever should do otherwise, or break any of these things, he should be punished.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:48 @ So they commanded that this writing should be put in tables of brass, and that they should be set up within the compass of the sanctuary in a conspicuous place;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:49 @ Also that the copies thereof should be laid up in the treasury, to the end that Simon and his sons might have them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:1 @ Moreover Antiochus son of Demetrius the king sent letters from the isles of the sea unto Simon the priest and prince of the Jews, and to all the people;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:3 @ Forasmuch as certain pestilent men have usurped the kingdom of our fathers, and my purpose is to challenge it again, that I may restore it to the old estate, and to that end have gathered a multitude of foreign soldiers together, and prepared ships of war;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:4 @ My meaning also being to go through the country, that I may be avenged of them that have destroyed it, and made many cities in the kingdom desolate:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:5 @ Now therefore I confirm unto thee all the oblations which the kings before me granted thee, and whatsoever gifts besides they granted.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:6 @ I give thee leave also to coin money for thy country with thine own stamp.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:9 @ Furthermore, when we have obtained our kingdom, we will honour thee, and thy nation, and thy temple, with great honour, so that your honour shall be known throughout the world.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:10 @ In the hundred threescore and fourteenth year went Antiochus into the land of his fathers: at which time all the forces came together unto him, so that few were left with Tryphon.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:15 @ In the mean season came Numenius and his company from Rome, having letters to the kings and countries; wherein were written these things:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:20 @ It seemed also good to us to receive the shield of them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:25 @ So Antiochus the king camped against Dora the second day, assaulting it continually, and making engines, by which means he shut up Tryphon, that he could neither go out nor in.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:39 @ And commanded him to remove his host toward Judea; also he commanded him to build up Cedron, and to fortify the gates, and to war against the people; but as for the king himself, he pursued Tryphon.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:40 @ So Cendebeus came to Jamnia and began to provoke the people and to invade Judea, and to take the people prisoners, and slay them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:2 @ Wherefore Simon called his two eldest sons, Judas and John, and said unto them, I, and my brethren, and my father's house, have ever from my youth unto this day fought against the enemies of Israel; and things have prospered so well in our hands, that we have delivered Israel oftentimes.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:4 @ So he chose out of the country twenty thousand men of war with horsemen, who went out against Cendebeus, and rested that night at Modin.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:6 @ So he and his people pitched over against them: and when he saw that the people were afraid to go over the water brook, he went first over himself, and then the men seeing him passed through after him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:8 @ Then sounded they with the holy trumpets: whereupon Cendebeus and his host were put to flight, so that many of them were slain, and the remnant gat them to the strong hold.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:10 @ So they fled even unto the towers in the fields of Azotus; wherefore he burned it with fire: so that there were slain of them about two thousand men. Afterward he returned into the land of Judea in peace.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:11 @ Moreover in the plain of Jericho was Ptolemeus the son of Abubus made captain, and he had abundance of silver and gold:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:12 @ For he was the high priest's son in law.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:13 @ Wherefore his heart being lifted up, he thought to get the country to himself, and thereupon consulted deceitfully against Simon and his sons to destroy them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:14 @ Now Simon was visiting the cities that were in the country, and taking care for the good ordering of them; at which time he came down himself to Jericho with his sons, Mattathias and Judas, in the hundred threescore and seventeenth year, in the eleventh month, called Sabat:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:15 @ Where the son of Abubus receiving them deceitfully into a little hold, called Docus, which he had built, made them a great banquet: howbeit he had hid men there.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:16 @ So when Simon and his sons had drunk largely, Ptolemee and his men rose up, and took their weapons, and came upon Simon into the banqueting place, and slew him, and his two sons, and certain of his servants.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:19 @ He sent others also to Gazera to kill John: and unto the tribunes he sent letters to come unto him, that he might give them silver, and gold, and rewards.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:21 @ Now one had run afore to Gazera and told John that his father and brethren were slain, and, quoth he, Ptolemee hath sent to slay thee also.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:10 @ And shall be sought of many, and yet not be found: then shall unrighteousness and incontinency be multiplied upon earth.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:11 @ One land also shall ask another, and say, Is righteousness that maketh a man righteous gone through thee? And it shall say, No.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:14 @ Then I awaked, and an extreme fearfulness went through all my body, and my mind was troubled, so that it fainted.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:15 @ So the angel that was come to talk with me held me, comforted me, and set me up upon my feet.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:16 @ And in the second night it came to pass, that Salathiel the captain of the people came unto me, saying, Where hast thou been? and why is thy countenance so heavy?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:20 @ And so I fasted seven days, mourning and weeping, like as Uriel the angel commanded me.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:21 @ And after seven days so it was, that the thoughts of my heart were very grievous unto me again,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:22 @ And my soul recovered the spirit of understanding, and I began to talk with the most High again,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:30 @ If thou didst so much hate thy people, yet shouldest thou punish them with thine own hands.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:40 @ 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:5:42 @ 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:5:45 @ 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:5:48 @ Then said he unto me, Even so have I given the womb of the earth to those that be sown in it in their times.

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

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:6:13 @ So he answered and said unto me, Stand up upon thy feet, and hear a mighty sounding voice.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:17 @ And it happened, that when I had heard it I stood up upon my feet, and hearkened, and, behold, there was a voice that spake, and the sound of it was like the sound of many waters.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:22 @ And suddenly shall the sown places appear unsown, the full storehouses shall suddenly be found empty:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:23 @ And tha trumpet shall give a sound, which when every man heareth, they shall be suddenly afraid.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:25 @ Whosoever remaineth from all these that I have told thee shall escape, and see my salvation, and the end of your world.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:28 @ As for faith, it shall flourish, corruption shall be overcome, and the truth, which hath been so long without fruit, shall be declared.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:32 @ For thy voice is heard before the most High: for the Mighty hath seen thy righteous dealing, he hath seen also thy chastity, which thou hast had ever since thy youth.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:42 @ Upon the third day thou didst command that the waters should be gathered in the seventh part of the earth: six pats hast thou dried up, and kept them, to the intent that of these some being planted of God and tilled might serve thee.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:54 @ And after these, Adam also, whom thou madest lord of all thy creatures: of him come we all, and the people also whom thou hast chosen.

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: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:7:8 @ And one only path between them both, even between the fire and the water, so small that there could but one man go there at once.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:10 @ And I said, It is so, Lord. Then said he unto me, Even so also is Israel's portion.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:12 @ Then were the entrances of this world made narrow, full of sorrow and travail: they are but few and evil, full of perils,: and very painful.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:29 @ After these years shall my son Christ die, and all men that have life.

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:7:32 @ And the earth shall restore those that are asleep in her, and so shall the dust those that dwell in silence, and the secret places shall deliver those souls that were committed unto them.

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

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

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:7:63 @ And upon those also that turn to his law;

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:68 @ 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:8:2 @ I will tell thee a similitude, Esdras; As when thou askest the earth, it shall say unto thee, that it giveth much mould whereof earthen vessels are made, but little dust that gold cometh of: even so is the course of this present world.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:4 @ So answered I and said, Swallow then down, O my soul, understanding, and devour wisdom.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:37 @ Then answered he me, and said, Some things hast thou spoken aright, and according unto thy words it shall be.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:39 @ But I will rejoice over the disposition of the righteous, and I will remember also their pilgrimage, and the salvation, and the reward, that they shall have.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:54 @ Sorrows are passed, and in the end is shewed the treasure of immortality.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:6 @ Even so the times also of the Highest have plain beginnings in wonder and powerful works, and endings in effects and signs.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:20 @ So I considered the world, and, behold, there was peril because of the devices that were come into it.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:26 @ So I went my way into the field which is called Ardath, like as he commanded me; and there I sat among the flowers, and did eat of the herbs of the field, and the meat of the same satisfied me.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:34 @ And, lo, it ls a custom, when the ground hath received seed, or the sea a ship, or any vessel meat or drink, that, that being perished wherein it was sown or cast into,

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras: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:9:47 @ So when he grew up, and came to the time that he should have a wife, I made a feast.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:1 @ And it so came to pass, that when my son was entered into his wedding chamber, he fell down, and died.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:7 @ How that Sion our mother is full of all heaviness, and much humbled, mourning very sore?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:19 @ So I proceeded to speak further unto her, and said,

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:22 @ Our psaltery is laid on the ground, our song is put to silence, our rejoicing is at an end, the light of our candlestick is put out, the ark of our covenant is spoiled, our holy things are defiled, and the name that is called upon us is almost profaned: our children are put to shame, our priests are burnt, our Levites are gone into captivity, our virgins are defiled, and our wives ravished; our righteous men carried away, our little ones destroyed, our young men are brought in bondage, and our strong men are become weak;

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:25 @ And it came to pass while I was talking with her, behold, her face upon a sudden shined exceedingly, and her countenance glistered, so that I was afraid of her, and mused what it might be.

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:10:31 @ What aileth thee? and why art thou so disquieted? and why is thine understanding troubled, and the thoughts of thine heart?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:36 @ Or is my sense deceived, or my soul in a dream?

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:43 @ And whereas she told thee of the death of her son, this is the solution:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:46 @ But after thirty years Solomon builded the city and offered offerings: and then bare the barren a son.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:48 @ But whereas she said unto thee, That my son coming into his marriage chamber happened to have a fail, and died: this was the destruction that came to Jerusalem.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:59 @ And so shall the Highest shew thee visions of the high things, which the most High will do unto them that dwell upon the earth in the last days. So I slept that night and another, like as he commanded me.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:13 @ And so it was, that when it reigned, the end of it came, and the place thereof appeared no more: so the next following stood up. and reigned, and had a great time;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:14 @ And it happened, that when it reigned, the end of it came also, like as the first, so that it appeared no more.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:19 @ So went it with all the residue one after another, as that every one reigned, and then appeared no more.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:20 @ Then I beheld, and, lo, in process of time the feathers that followed stood up upon the right side, that they might rule also; and some of them ruled, but within a while they appeared no more:

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:27 @ And the second was sooner away than the first.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:28 @ And I beheld, and, lo, the two that remained thought also in themselves to reign:

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:34 @ But there remained the two heads, which also in like sort ruled upon the earth, and over those that dwelt therein.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:40 @ And the fourth came, and overcame all the beasts that were past, and had power over the world with great fearfulness, and over the whole compass of the earth with much wicked oppression; and so long time dwelt he upon the earth with deceit.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:44 @ The Highest also hath looked upon the proud times, and, behold, they are ended, and his abominations are fulfilled.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:3 @ And I saw, and, behold, they appeared no more, and the whole body of the eagle was burnt so that the earth was in great fear: then awaked I out of the trouble and trance of my mind, and from great fear, and said unto my spirit,

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:39 @ But wait thou here thyself yet seven days more, that it may be shewed thee, whatsoever it pleaseth the Highest to declare unto thee. And with that he went his way.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:50 @ So the people went their way into the city, like as I commanded them:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:4 @ And whensoever the voice went out of his mouth, all they burned that heard his voice, like as the earth faileth when it feeleth the fire.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:8 @ And after this I beheld, and, lo, all they which were gathered together to subdue him were sore afraid, and yet durst fight.

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:13:13 @ And there came much people unto him, whereof some were glad, some were sorry, and some of them were bound, and other some brought of them that were offered: then was I sick through great fear, and I awaked, and said,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:26 @ The same is he whom God the Highest hath kept a great season, which by his own self shall deliver his creature: and he shall order them that are left behind.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:32 @ And the time shall be when these things shall come to pass, and the signs shall happen which I shewed thee before, and then shall my Son be declared, whom thou sawest as a man ascending.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:37 @ And this my Son shall rebuke the wicked inventions of those nations, which for their wicked life are fallen into the tempest;

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:13:52 @ 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:13:54 @ For thou hast forsaken thine own way, and applied thy diligence unto my law, and sought it.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:58 @ And because he governeth the same, and such things as fall in their seasons: and there I sat three days.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:4 @ And I sent him and led my people out of Egypt, and brought him up to the mount of where I held him by me a long season,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:9 @ For thou shalt be taken away from all, and from henceforth thou shalt remain with my Son, and with such as be like thee, until the times be ended.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:17 @ For look how much the world shall be weaker through age, so much the more shall evils increase upon them that dwell therein.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:26 @ And when thou hast done, some things shalt thou publish, and some things shalt thou shew secretly to the wise: to morrow this hour shalt thou begin to write.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:30 @ And received the law of life, which they kept not, which ye also have transgressed after them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:34 @ Therefore if so be that ye will subdue your own understanding, and reform your hearts, ye shall be kept alive and after death ye shall obtain mercy.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:37 @ So I took the five men, as he commanded me, and we went into the field, and remained there.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:48 @ And I did so.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:15:8 @ I will hold my tongue no more as touching their wickedness, which they profanely commit, neither will I suffer them in those things, in which they wickedly exercise themselves: behold, the innocent and righteous blood crieth unto me, and the souls of the just complain continually.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:24 @ But he being brought to the presence of the king, when he had magnified him for the glorious appearance of his power, got the priesthood to himself, offering more than Jason by three hundred talents of silver.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:25 @ 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:4:32 @ 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:4:36 @ And when the king was come again from the places about Cilicia, the Jews that were in the city, and certain of the Greeks that abhorred the fact also, complained because Onias was slain without cause.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:37 @ Therefore Antiochus was heartily sorry, and moved to pity, and wept, because of the sober and modest behaviour of him that was dead.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:41 @ They then seeing the attempt of Lysimachus, some of them caught stones, some clubs, others taking handfuls of dust, that was next at hand, cast them all together upon Lysimachus, and those that set upon them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:42 @ Thus many of them they wounded, and some they struck to the ground, and all of them they forced to flee: but as for the churchrobber himself, him they killed beside the treasury.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:45 @ 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:4:47 @ Insomuch that he discharged Menelaus from the accusations, who notwithstanding was cause of all the mischief: and those poor men, who, if they had told their cause, yea, before the Scythians, should have been judged innocent, them he condemned to death.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:50 @ And so through the covetousness of them that were of power Menelaus remained still in authority, increasing in malice, and being a great traitor to the citizens.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:2 @ And then it happened, that through all the city, for the space almost of forty days, there were seen horsemen running in the air, in cloth of gold, and armed with lances, like a band of soldiers,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:3 @ 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:5:9 @ Thus he that had driven many out of their country perished in a strange land, retiring to the Lacedemonians, and thinking there to find succour by reason of his kindred:

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:14 @ And there were destroyed within the space of three whole days fourscore thousand, whereof forty thousand were slain in the conflict; and no fewer sold than slain.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:17 @ And so haughty was Antiochus in mind, that he considered not that the Lord was angry for a while for the sins of them that dwelt in the city, and therefore his eye was not upon the place.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:20 @ And therefore the place itself, that was partaker with them of the adversity that happened to the nation, did afterward communicate in the benefits sent from the Lord: and as it was forsaken in the wrath of the Almighty, so again, the great Lord being reconciled, it was set up with all glory.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:21 @ So when Antiochus had carried out of the temple a thousand and eight hundred talents, he departed in all haste unto Antiochia, weening in his pride to make the land navigable, and the sea passable by foot: such was the haughtiness of his mind.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:24 @ He sent also that detestable ringleader Apollonius with an army of two and twenty thousand, commanding him to slay all those that were in their best age, and to sell the women and the younger sort:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:26 @ And so he slew all them that were gone to the celebrating of the sabbath, and running through the city with weapons slew great multitudes.

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

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:7:1 @ It came to pass also, that seven brethren with their mother were taken, and compelled by the king against the law to taste swine's flesh, and were tormented with scourges and whips.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:20 @ But the mother was marvellous above all, and worthy of honourable memory: for when she saw her seven sons slain within the space of one day, she bare it with a good courage, because of the hope that she had in the Lord.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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: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:10:16 @ Then they that were with Maccabeus made supplication, and besought God that he would be their helper; and so they ran with violence upon the strong holds of the Idumeans,

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:10:22 @ So he slew those that were found traitors, and immediately took the two castles.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:26 @ And fell down at the foot of the altar, and besought him to be merciful to them, and to be an enemy to their enemies, and an adversary to their adversaries, as the law declareth.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:27 @ So after the prayer they took their weapons, and went on further from the city: and when they drew near to their enemies, they kept by themselves.

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:10:30 @ And took Maccabeus betwixt them, and covered him on every side weapons, and kept him safe, but shot arrows and lightnings against the enemies: so that being confounded with blindness, and full of trouble, they were killed.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:5 @ So he came to Judea, and drew near to Bethsura, which was a strong town, but distant from Jerusalem about five furlongs, and he laid sore siege unto it.

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:11:7 @ Then Maccabeus himself first of all took weapons, exhorting the other that they would jeopard themselves together with him to help their brethren: so they went forth together with a willing mind.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:9 @ 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:11:12 @ Many of them also being wounded escaped naked; and Lysias himself fled away shamefully, and so escaped.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:14 @ And persuaded them to agree to all reasonable conditions, and promised that he would persuade the king that he must needs be a friend unto them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:15 @ Then Maccabeus consented to all that Lysias desired, being careful of the common good; and whatsoever Maccabeus wrote unto Lysias concerning the Jews, the king granted it.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:17 @ John and Absolom, who were sent from you, delivered me the petition subscribed, and made request for the performance of the contents thereof.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:18 @ Therefore what things soever were meet to be reported to the king, I have declared them, and he hath granted as much as might be.

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:12:9 @ He came upon the Jamnites also by night, and set fire on the haven and the navy, so that the light of the fire was seen at Jerusalem two hundred and forty furlongs off.

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:12:12 @ Then Judas, thinking indeed that they would be profitable in many things, granted them peace: whereupon they shook hands, and so they departed to their tents.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:13 @ He went also about to make a bridge to a certain strong city, which was fenced about with walls, and inhabited by people of divers countries; and the name of it was Caspis.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:16 @ And took the city by the will of God, and made unspeakable slaughters, insomuch that a lake two furlongs broad near adjoining thereunto, being filled full, was seen running with blood.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:19 @ Howbeit Dositheus and Sosipater, who were of Maccabeus' captains, went forth, and slew those that Timotheus had left in the fortress, above ten thousand men.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:21 @ Now when Timotheus had knowledge of Judas' coming, he sent the women and children and the other baggage unto a fortress called Carnion: for the town was hard to besiege, and uneasy to come unto, by reason of the straitness of all the places.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:22 @ 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:12:23 @ Judas also was very earnest in pursuing them, killing those wicked wretches, of whom he slew about thirty thousand men.

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:12:25 @ So when he had assured them with many words that he would restore them without hurt, according to the agreement, they let him go for the saving of their brethren.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:27 @ And after he had put to flight and destroyed them, Judas removed the host toward Ephron, a strong city, wherein Lysias abode, and a great multitude of divers nations, and the strong young men kept the walls, and defended them mightily: wherein also was great provision of engines and darts.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:31 @ They gave them thanks, desiring them to be friendly still unto them: and so they came to Jerusalem, the feast of the weeks approaching.

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:12:38 @ So Judas gathered his host, and came into the city of Odollam, And when the seventh day came, they purified themselves, as the custom was, and kept the sabbath in the same place.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:42 @ Betook themselves unto prayer, and besought him that the sin committed might wholly be put out of remembrance.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:45 @ And also in that he perceived that there was great favour laid up for those that died godly, it was an holy and good thought. Whereupon he made a reconciliation for the dead, that they might be delivered from sin.

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:13:4 @ But the King of kings moved Antiochus' mind against this wicked wretch, and Lysias informed the king that this man was the cause of all mischief, so that the king commanded to bring him unto Berea, and to put him to death, as the manner is in that place.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:6 @ And whosoever was condemned of sacrilege, or had committed any other grievous crime, there did all men thrust him unto death.

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:13:10 @ 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:13:12 @ So when they had all done this together, and besought the merciful Lord with weeping and fasting, and lying flat upon the ground three days long, Judas, having exhorted them, commanded they should be in a readiness.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:14 @ So when he had committed all to the Creator of the world, and exhorted his soldiers to fight manfully, even unto death, for the laws, the temple, the city, the country, and the commonwealth, he camped by Modin:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:21 @ But Rhodocus, who was in the Jews' host, disclosed the secrets to the enemies; therefore he was sought out, and when they had gotten him, they put him in prison.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:1 @ After three years was Judas informed, that Demetrius the son of Seleucus, having entered by the haven of Tripolis with a great power and navy,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:4 @ Came to king Demetrius in the hundred and one and fiftieth year, presenting unto him a crown of gold, and a palm, and also of the boughs which were used solemnly in the temple: and so that day he held his peace.

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:14:16 @ So at the commandment of the captain they removed straightways from thence, and came near unto them at the town of Dessau.

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:14:20 @ So when they had taken long advisement thereupon, and the captain had made the multitude acquainted therewith, and it appeared that they were all of one mind, they consented to the covenants,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:22 @ Ludas placed armed men ready in convenient places, lest some treachery should be suddenly practised by the enemies: so they made a peaceable conference.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:25 @ He prayed him also to take a wife, and to beget children: so he married, was quiet, and took part of this life.

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:14:30 @ 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:14:32 @ And when they sware that they could not tell where the man was whom he sought,

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:14:34 @ After these words he departed. Then the priests lifted up their hands toward heaven, and besought him that was ever a defender of their nation, saying in this manner;

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:14:43 @ But missing his stroke through haste, the multitude also rushing within the doors, he ran boldly up to the wall, and cast himself down manfully among the thickest of them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:1 @ But Nicanor, hearing that Judas and his company were in the strong places about Samaria, resolved without any danger to set upon them on the sabbath day.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:2 @ Nevertheless the Jews that were compelled to go with him said, O destroy not so cruelly and barbarously, but give honour to that day, which he, that seeth all things, hath honoured with holiness above all other days.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:5 @ Then said the other, And I also am mighty upon earth, and I command to take arms, and to do the king's business. Yet he obtained not to have his wicked will done.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:6 @ So Nicanor in exceeding pride and haughtiness determined to set up a publick monument of his victory over Judas and them that were with him.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:9 @ And so comforting them out of the law and the prophets, and withal putting them in mind of the battles that they won afore, he made them more cheerful.

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:15:12 @ And this was his vision: That Onias, who had been high priest, a virtuous and a good man, reverend in conversation, gentle in condition, well spoken also, and exercised from a child in all points of virtue, holding up his hands prayed for the whole body of the Jews.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:3:7 @ So they and all the country round about received them with garlands, with dances, and with timbrels.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:4:6 @ Also Joacim the high priest, which was in those days in Jerusalem, wrote to them that dwelt in Bethulia, and Betomestham, which is over against Esdraelon toward the open country, near to Dothaim,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:5:19 @ But now are they returned to their God, and are come up from the places where they were scattered, and have possessed Jerusalem, where their sanctuary is, and are seated in the hill country; for it was desolate.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:7:14 @ So they and their wives and their children shall be consumed with fire, and before the sword come against them, they shall be overthrown in the streets where they dwell.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:7:15 @ Thus shalt thou render them an evil reward; because they rebelled, and met not thy person peaceably.

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:8:4 @ So Judith was a widow in her house three years and four months.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:16:9 @ Her sandals ravished his eyes, her beauty took his mind prisoner, and the fauchion passed through his neck.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:16:13 @ I will sing unto the Lord a new song: O Lord, thou art great and glorious, wonderful in strength, and invincible.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:16:18 @ Now as soon as they entered into Jerusalem, they worshipped the Lord; and as soon as the people were purified, they offered their burnt offerings, and their free offerings, and their gifts.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah:6:2 @ Because of the sins which ye have committed before God, ye shall be led away captives into Babylon by Nabuchodonosor king of the Babylonians.

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah:6:3 @ So when ye be come unto Babylon, ye shall remain there many years, and for a long season, namely, seven generations: and after that I will bring you away peaceably from thence.

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah:6:7 @ For mine angel is with you, and I myself caring for your souls.

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah:6:10 @ Sometimes also the priests convey from their gods gold and silver, and bestow it upon themselves.

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah:6:15 @ He hath also in his right hand a dagger and an ax: but cannot deliver himself from war and thieves.

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah:6:17 @ For like as a vessel that a man useth is nothing worth when it is broken; even so it is with their gods: when they be set up in the temple, their eyes be full of dust through the feet of them that come in.

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah:6:18 @ And as the doors are made sure on every side upon him that offendeth the king, as being committed to suffer death: even so the priests make fast their temples with doors, with locks, and bars, lest their gods be spoiled with robbers.

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah:6:22 @ Upon their bodies and heads sit bats, swallows, and birds, and the cats also.

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah:6:27 @ They also that serve them are ashamed: for if they fall to the ground at any time, they cannot rise up again of themselves: neither, if one set them upright, can they move of themselves: neither, if they be bowed down, can they make themselves straight: but they set gifts before them as unto dead men.

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah:6:33 @ The priests also take off their garments, and clothe their wives and children.

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah:6:43 @ The women also with cords about them, sitting in the ways, burn bran for perfume: but if any of them, drawn by some that passeth by, lie with him, she reproacheth her fellow, that she was not thought as worthy as herself, nor her cord broken.

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah:6:44 @ Whatsoever is done among them is false: how may it then be thought or said that they are gods?

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah:6:70 @ For as a scarecrow in a garden of cucumbers keepeth nothing: so are their gods of wood, and laid over with silver and gold.

apocrypha_kjv@LetterOfJeremiah:6:71 @ And likewise their gods of wood, and laid over with silver and gold, are like to a white thorn in an orchard, that every bird sitteth upon; as also to a dead body, that is east into the dark.

apocrypha_kjv@PrayerOfAzariah:17 @ Like as in the burnt offerings of rams and bullocks, and like as in ten thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be in thy sight this day, and grant that we may wholly go after thee: for they shall not be confounded that put their trust in thee.

apocrypha_kjv@PrayerOfAzariah:20 @ Deliver us also according to thy marvellous works, and give glory to thy name, O Lord: and let all them that do thy servants hurt be ashamed;

apocrypha_kjv@PrayerOfAzariah:24 @ So that the flame streamed forth above the furnace forty and nine cubits.

apocrypha_kjv@PrayerOfAzariah:27 @ And made the midst of the furnace as it had been a moist whistling wind, so that the fire touched them not at all, neither hurt nor troubled them.

apocrypha_kjv@PrayerOfAzariah:64 @ O ye spirits and souls of the righteous, bless ye the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:3 @ Her parents also were righteous, and taught their daughter according to the law of Moses.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:4 @ Now Joacim was a great rich man, and had a fair garden joining unto his house: and to him resorted the Jews; because he was more honourable than all others.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:8 @ And the two elders saw her going in every day, and walking; so that their lust was inflamed toward her.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:14 @ So when they were gone out, they parted the one from the other, and turning back again they came to the same place; and after that they had asked one another the cause, they acknowledged their lust: then appointed they a time both together, when they might find her alone.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:26 @ So when the servants of the house heard the cry in the garden, they rushed in at the privy door, to see what was done unto her.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:28 @ And it came to pass the next day, when the people were assembled to her husband Joacim, the two elders came also full of mischievous imagination against Susanna to put her to death;

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:29 @ And said before the people, Send for Susanna, the daughter of Chelcias, Joacim's wife. And so they sent.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:30 @ So she came with her father and mother, her children, and all her kindred.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:41 @ Then the assembly believed them as those that were the elders and judges of the people: so they condemned her to death.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:48 @ So he standing in the midst of them said, Are ye such fools, ye sons of Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the truth ye have condemned a daughter of Israel?

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:52 @ So when they were put asunder one from another, he called one of them, and said unto him, O thou that art waxen old in wickedness, now thy sins which thou hast committed aforetime are come to light.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:56 @ So he put him aside, and commanded to bring the other, and said unto him, O thou seed of Chanaan, and not of Juda, beauty hath deceived thee, and lust hath perverted thine heart.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:59 @ Then said Daniel unto him, Well; thou hast also lied against thine own head: for the angel of God waiteth with the sword to cut thee in two, that he may destroy you.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:62 @ And according to the law of Moses they did unto them in such sort as they maliciously intended to do to their neighbour: and they put them to death. Thus the innocent blood was saved the same day.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:1:15 @ Now when Enemessar was dead, Sennacherib his son reigned in his stead; whose estate was troubled, that I could not go into Media.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:2:12 @ And when she had sent them home to the owners, they paid her wages, and gave her also besides a kid.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:3:1 @ Then I being grieved did weep, and in my sorrow prayed, saying,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:4:20 @ 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:5:8 @ Then he said unto him, Go and tarry not. So he went in and said to his father, Behold, I have found one which will go with me. Then he said, Call him unto me, that I may know of what tribe he is, and whether he be a trusty man to go with thee.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:9 @ So he called him, and he came in, and they saluted one another.

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

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:5:14 @ But tell me, what wages shall I give thee? wilt thou a drachm a day, and things necessary, as to mine own son?

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:15 @ Yea, moreover, if ye return safe, I will add something to thy wages.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:6:5 @ So the young man did as the angel commanded him; and when they had roasted the fish, they did eat it: then they both went on their way, till they drew near to Ecbatane.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:6:14 @ 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:6:16 @ And when thou shalt come into the marriage chamber, thou shalt take the ashes of perfume, and shalt lay upon them some of the heart and liver of the fish, and shalt make a smoke with it:

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:7:9 @ So he communicated the matter with Raguel: and Raguel said to Tobias, Eat and drink, and make merry:

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:9 @ So they slept both that night. And Raguel arose, and went and made a grave,

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:10 @ Saying, I fear lest he also be dead.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:13 @ So the maid opened the door, and went in, and found them both asleep,

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:9:4 @ But my father counteth the days; and if I tarry long, he will be very sorry.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:10:4 @ Then his wife said unto him, My son is dead, seeing he stayeth long; and she began to wail him, and said,

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:10:12 @ And he said to his daughter, Honour thy father and thy mother in law, which are now thy parents, that I may hear good report of thee. And he kissed her. Edna also said to Tobias, The Lord of heaven restore thee, my dear brother, and grant that I may see thy children of my daughter Sara before I die, that I may rejoice before the Lord: behold, I commit my daughter unto thee of special trust; where are do not entreat her evil.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:6 @ And when she espied him coming, she said to his father, Behold, thy son cometh, and the man that went with him.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:18 @ And Achiacharus, and Nasbas his brother's son, came:

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:12:1 @ Then Tobit called his son Tobias, and said unto him, My son, see that the man have his wages, which went with thee, and thou must give him more.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:13:15 @ Let my soul bless God the great King.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:14:7 @ So shall all nations praise the Lord, and his people shall confess God, and the Lord shall exalt his people; and all those which love the Lord God in truth and justice shall rejoice, shewing mercy to our brethren.

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:14:15 @ 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:1:4 @ For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not enter; nor dwell in the body that is subject unto sin.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:1:11 @ 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:1:14 @ 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: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:2:3 @ Which being extinguished, our body shall be turned into ashes, and our spirit shall vanish as the soft air,

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:22 @ 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:3:1 @ But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:4:11 @ Yea speedily was he taken away, lest that wickedness should alter his understanding, or deceit beguile his soul.

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:12 @ Or like as when an arrow is shot at a mark, it parteth the air, which immediately cometh together again, so that a man cannot know where it went through:

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:8 @ But a sore trial shall come upon the mighty.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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:8:16 @ 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:8:21 @ 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:9:5 @ For I thy servant and son of thine handmaid am a feeble person, and of a short time, and too young for the understanding of judgment and laws.

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

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

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:9:12 @ So shall my works be acceptable, and then shall I judge thy people righteously, and be worthy to sit in my father's seat.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:10:3 @ But when the unrighteous went away from her in his anger, he perished also in the fury wherewith he murdered his brother.

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

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

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:10:12 @ 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:10:16 @ She entered into the soul of the servant of the Lord, and withstood dreadful kings in wonders and signs;

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:5 @ And also those merciless murderers of children, and devourers of man's flesh, and the feasts of blood,

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:25 @ Therefore unto them, as to children without the use of reason, thou didst send a judgment to mock 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:13:11 @ 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:13:14 @ Or made it like some vile beast, laying it over with vermilion, and with paint colouring it red, and covering every spot therein;

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:15 @ 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:14:18 @ 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:14:25 @ So that there reigned in all men without exception blood, manslaughter, theft, and dissimulation, corruption, unfaithfulness, tumults, perjury,

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:29 @ 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:15:5 @ The sight whereof enticeth fools to lust after it, and so they desire the form of a dead image, that hath no breath.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:11 @ 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:15:18 @ Yea, they worshipped those beasts also that are most hateful: for being compared together, some are worse than others.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:14 @ 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:16:18 @ 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:16:27 @ For that which was not destroyed of the fire, being warmed with a little sunbeam, soon melted away:

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:17:4 @ 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:17:8 @ For they, that promised to drive away terrors and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of fear, worthy to be laughed at.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:17:16 @ So then whosoever there fell down was straitly kept, shut up in a prison without iron bars,

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

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

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:18:11 @ The master and the servant were punished after one manner; and like as the king, so suffered the common person.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:19:13 @ 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:19:17 @ Therefore even with blindness were these stricken, as those were at the doors of the righteous man: when, being compassed about with horrible great darkness, every one sought the passage of his own doors.

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