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:1:5 @ And after these things he fell sick, and perceived that he should die.

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:1:13 @ 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:1:16 @ Now when the kingdom was established before Antiochus, he thought to reign over Egypt that he might have the dominion of two realms.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:20 @ And after that Antiochus had smitten Egypt, he returned again in the hundred forty and third year, and went up against Israel and Jerusalem with a great multitude,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:27 @ Every bridegroom took up lamentation, and she that sat in the marriage chamber was in heaviness,

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:1:41 @ Moreover king Antiochus wrote to his whole kingdom, that all should be one people,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:44 @ For the king had sent letters by messengers unto Jerusalem and the cities of Juda that they should follow the strange laws of the land,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:45 @ And forbid burnt offerings, and sacrifice, and drink offerings, in the temple; and that they should profane the sabbaths and festival days:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:52 @ 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:1:57 @ 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:1:60 @ At which time according to the commandment they put to death certain women, that had caused their children to be circumcised.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:61 @ And they hanged the infants about their necks, and rifled their houses, and slew them that had circumcised them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:63 @ 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:2:25 @ Also the king's commissioner, who compelled men to sacrifice, he killed at that time, and the altar he pulled down.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:28 @ 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:2:31 @ Now when it was told the king's servants, and the host that was at Jerusalem, in the city of David, that certain men, who had broken the king's commandment, were gone down into the secret places in the wilderness,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:33 @ And they said unto them, Let that which ye have done hitherto suffice; come forth, and do according to the commandment of the king, and ye shall live.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:41 @ 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:2:49 @ 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:2:61 @ And thus consider ye throughout all ages, that none that put their trust in him shall be overcome.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:65 @ And behold, I know that your brother Simon is a man of counsel, give ear unto him alway: he shall be a father unto you.

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

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:3:13 @ Now when Seron, a prince of the army of Syria, heard say that Judas had gathered unto him a multitude and company of the faithful to go out with him to war;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:14 @ He said, I will get me a name and honour in the kingdom; for I will go fight with Judas and them that are with him, who despise the king's commandment.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:29 @ Nevertheless, when he saw that the money of his treasures failed and that the tributes in the country were small, because of the dissension and plague, which he had brought upon the land in taking away the laws which had been of old time;

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:3:34 @ 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:3:35 @ To wit, that he should send an army against them, to destroy and root out the strength of Israel, and the remnant of Jerusalem, and to take away their memorial from that place;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:36 @ And that he should place strangers in all their quarters, and divide their land by lot.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:45 @ 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:3:47 @ Then they fasted that day, and put on sackcloth, and cast ashes upon their heads, and rent their clothes,

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:58 @ And Judas said, arm yourselves, and be valiant men, and see that ye be in readiness against the morning, that ye may fight with these nations, that are assembled together against us to destroy us and our sanctuary:

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:7 @ And they saw the camp of the heathen, that it was strong and well harnessed, and compassed round about with horsemen; and these were expert of war.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:11 @ 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:4:15 @ 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:4:20 @ Who when they perceived that the Jews had put their host to flight and were burning the tents; for the smoke that was seen declared what was done:

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:4:25 @ Thus Israel had a great deliverance that day.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:28 @ The next year therefore following Lysias gathered together threescore thousand choice men of foot, and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:30 @ 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:4:33 @ Cast them down with the sword of them that love thee, and let all those that know thy name praise thee with thanksgiving.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:48 @ And made up the sanctuary, and the things that were within the temple, and hallowed the courts.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:50 @ And upon the altar they burned incense, and the lamps that were upon the candlestick they lighted, that they might give light in the temple.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:2 @ Wherefore they thought to destroy the generation of Jacob that was among them, and thereupon they began to slay and destroy the people.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:5 @ He shut them up therefore in the towers, and encamped against them, and destroyed them utterly, and burned the towers of that place with fire, and all that were therein.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:9 @ Then the heathen that were at Galaad assembled themselves together against the Israelites that were in their quarters, to destroy them; but they fled to the fortress of Dathema.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:10 @ And sent letters unto Judas and his brethren, The heathen that are round about us are assembled together against us to destroy us:

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:5:16 @ Now when Judas and the people heard these words, there assembled a great congregation together, to consult what they should do for their brethren, that were in trouble, and assaulted of them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:17 @ Then said Judas unto Simon his brother, Choose thee out men, and go and deliver thy brethren that are in Galilee, for I and Jonathan my brother will go into the country of Galaad.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:19 @ Unto whom he gave commandment, saying, Take ye the charge of this people, and see that ye make not war against the heathen until the time that we come again.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:23 @ And those that were in Galilee, and in Arbattis, with their wives and their children, and all that they had, took he away with him, and brought them into Judea with great joy.

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:5:25 @ Where they met with the Nabathites, who came unto them in a peaceable manner, and told them every thing that had happened to their brethren in the land of Galaad:

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:5:27 @ And that they were shut up in the rest of the cities of the country of Galaad, and that against to morrow they had appointed to bring their host against the forts, and to take them, and to destroy them all in one day.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:31 @ 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:5:34 @ Then the host of Timotheus, knowing that it was Maccabeus, fled from him: wherefore he smote them with a great slaughter; so that there were killed of them that day about eight thousand men.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:45 @ Then Judas gathered together all the Israelites that were in the country of Galaad, from the least unto the greatest, even their wives, and their children, and their stuff, a very great host, to the end they might come into the land of Judea.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:50 @ 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:5:51 @ Who then slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and rased the city, and took the spoils thereof, and passed through the city over them that were slain.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:53 @ And Judas gathered together those that came behind, and exhorted the people all the way through, till they came into the land of Judea.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:58 @ 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:5:67 @ At that time certain priests, desirous to shew their valour, were slain in battle, for that they went out to fight unadvisedly.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:1 @ About that time king Antiochus travelling through the high countries heard say, that Elymais in the country of Persia was a city greatly renowned for riches, silver, and gold;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:2 @ 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:6:5 @ Moreover there came one who brought him tidings into Persia, that the armies, which went against the land of Judea, were put to flight:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:6 @ And that Lysias, who went forth first with a great power was driven away of the Jews; and that they were made strong by the armour, and power, and store of spoils, which they had gotten of the armies, whom they had destroyed:

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:12 @ But now I remember the evils that I did at Jerusalem, and that I took all the vessels of gold and silver that were therein, and sent to destroy the inhabitants of Judea without a cause.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:17 @ 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:6:21 @ Howbeit certain of them that were besieged got forth, unto whom some ungodly men of Israel joined themselves:

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:28 @ Now when the king heard this, he was angry, and gathered together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and those that had charge of the horse.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:30 @ 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:6:37 @ 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:6:38 @ As for the remnant of the horsemen, they set them on this side and that side at the two parts of the host giving them signs what to do, and being harnessed all over amidst the ranks.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:41 @ Wherefore all that heard the noise of their multitude, and the marching of the company, and the rattling of the harness, were moved: for the army was very great and mighty.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:43 @ 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:6:49 @ But with them that were in Bethsura he made peace: for they came out of the city, because they had no victuals there to endure the siege, it being a year of rest to the land.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:53 @ Yet at the last, their vessels being without victuals, (for that it was the seventh year, and they in Judea that were delivered from the Gentiles, had eaten up the residue of the store;)

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:54 @ 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:6:59 @ And covenant with them, that they shall live after their laws, as they did before: for they are therefore displeased, and have done all these things, because we abolished their laws.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:62 @ Then the king entered into mount Sion; but when he saw the strength of the place, he broke his oath that he had made, and gave commandment to pull down the wall round about.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:9 @ And him he sent with that wicked Alcimus, whom he made high priest, and commanded that he should take vengeance of the children of Israel.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:18 @ Wherefore the fear and dread of them fell upon all the people, who said, There is neither truth nor righteousness in them; for they have broken the covenant and oath that they made.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:23 @ Now when Judas saw all the mischief that Alcimus and his company had done among the Israelites, even above the heathen,

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:25 @ On the other side, when Alcimus saw that Judas and his company had gotten the upper hand, and knew that he was not able to abide their force, he went again to the king, and said all the worst of them that he could.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:26 @ Then the king sent Nicanor, one of his honourable princes, a man that bare deadly hate unto Israel, with commandment to destroy the people.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:28 @ Let there be no battle between me and you; I will come with a few men, that I may see you in peace.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:30 @ 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:7:33 @ After this went Nicanor up to mount Sion, and there came out of the sanctuary certain of the priests and certain of the elders of the people, to salute him peaceably, and to shew him the burnt sacrifice that was offered for the king.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:35 @ And sware in his wrath, saying, Unless Judas and his host be now delivered into my hands, if ever I come again in safety, I will burn up this house: and with that he went out in a great rage.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:41 @ O Lord, when they that were sent from the king of the Assyrians blasphemed, thine angel went out, and smote an hundred fourscore and five thousand of them.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:48 @ For this cause the people rejoiced greatly, and they kept that day a day of great gladness.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:4 @ 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:8:5 @ Beside this, how they had discomfited in battle Philip, and Perseus, king of the Citims, with others that lifted up themselves against them, and had overcome them:

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:10 @ And that they, having knowledge thereof sent against them a certain captain, and fighting with them slew many of them, and carried away captives their wives and their children, and spoiled them, and took possession of their lands, and pulled down their strong holds, and brought them to be their servants unto this day:

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:12 @ 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:8:16 @ And that they committed their government to one man every year, who ruled over all their country, and that all were obedient to that one, and that there was neither envy nor emmulation among them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:18 @ And to intreat them that they would take the yoke from them; for they saw that the kingdom of the Grecians did oppress Israel with servitude.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:20 @ Judas Maccabeus with his brethren, and the people of the Jews, have sent us unto you, to make a confederacy and peace with you, and that we might be registered your confederates and friends.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:22 @ And this is the copy of the epistle which the senate wrote back again in tables of brass, and sent to Jerusalem, that there they might have by them a memorial of peace and confederacy:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:26 @ Neither shall they give any thing unto them that make war upon them, or aid them with victuals, weapons, money, or ships, as it hath seemed good unto the Romans; but they shall keep their covenants without taking any thing therefore.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:28 @ Neither shall victuals be given to them that take part against them, or weapons, or money, or ships, as it hath seemed good to the Romans; but they shall keep their covenants, and that without deceit.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:2 @ Who went forth by the way that leadeth to Galgala, and pitched their tents before Masaloth, which is in Arbela, and after they had won it, they slew much people.

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:9:8 @ Nevertheless unto them that remained he said, Let us arise and go up against our enemies, if peradventure we may be able to fight with them.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:11 @ With that the host of Bacchides removed out of their tents, and stood over against them, their horsemen being divided into two troops, and their slingers and archers going before the host and they that marched in the foreward were all mighty men.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:13 @ They also of Judas' side, even they sounded their trumpets also, so that the earth shook at the noise of the armies, and the battle continued from morning till night.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:14 @ Now when Judas perceived that Bacchides and the strength of his army were on the right side, he took with him all the hardy men,

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:21 @ How is the valiant man fallen, that delivered Israel!

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:29 @ Since thy brother Judas died, we have no man like him to go forth against our enemies, and Bacchides, and against them of our nation that are adversaries to us.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:31 @ Upon this Jonathan took the governance upon him at that time, and rose up instead of his brother Judas.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:35 @ Now Jonathan had sent his brother John, a captain of the people, to pray his friends the Nabathites, that they might leave with them their carriage, which was much.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:36 @ But the children of Jambri came out of Medaba, and took John, and all that he had, and went their way with it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:37 @ After this came word to Jonathan and Simon his brother, that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride from Nadabatha with a great train, as being the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:45 @ For, behold, the battle is before us and behind us, and the water of Jordan on this side and that side, the marsh likewise and wood, neither is there place for us to turn aside.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:48 @ Then Jonathan and they that were with him leapt into Jordan, and swam over unto the other bank: howbeit the other passed not over Jordan unto them.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:63 @ Which thing when Bacchides knew, he gathered together all his host, and sent word to them that were of Judea.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:69 @ Wherefore he was very wroth at the wicked men that gave him counsel to come into the country, inasmuch as he slew many of them, and purposed to return into his own country.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:70 @ Whereof when Jonathan had knowledge, he sent ambassadors unto him, to the end he should make peace with him, and deliver them the prisoners.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:71 @ Which thing he accepted, and did according to his demands, and sware unto him that he would never do him harm all the days of his life.

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:9:73 @ Thus the sword ceased from Israel: but Jonathan dwelt at Machmas, and began to govern the people; and he destroyed the ungodly men out of Israel.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:6 @ 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:10:7 @ Then came Jonathan to Jerusalem, and read the letters in the audience of all the people, and of them that were in the tower:

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:10:9 @ Whereupon they of the tower delivered their hostages unto Jonathan, and he delivered them unto their parents.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:10 @ This done, Jonathan settled himself in Jerusalem, and began to build and repair the city.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:14 @ Only at Bethsura certain of those that had forsaken the law and the commandments remained still: for it was their place of refuge.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:15 @ 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:10:18 @ King Alexander to his brother Jonathan sendeth greeting:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:19 @ We have heard of thee, that thou art a man of great power, and meet to be our friend.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:20 @ Wherefore now this day we ordain thee to be the high priest of thy nation, and to be called the king's friend; (and therewithal he sent him a purple robe and a crown of gold:) and require thee to take our part, and keep friendship with us.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:21 @ So in the seventh month of the hundred and sixtieth year, at the feast of the tabernacles, Jonathan put on the holy robe, and gathered together forces, and provided much armour.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:23 @ What have we done, that Alexander hath prevented us in making amity with the Jews to strengthen himself?

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:33 @ Moreover I freely set at liberty every one of the Jews, that were carried captives out of the land of Judea into any part of my kingdom, and I will that all my officers remit the tributes even of their cattle.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:36 @ I will further, that there be enrolled among the king's forces about thirty thousand men of the Jews, unto whom pay shall be given, as belongeth to all king's forces.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:42 @ And beside this, the five thousand shekels of silver, which they took from the uses of the temple out of the accounts year by year, even those things shall be released, because they appertain to the priests that minister.

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:10:46 @ 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:10:47 @ But with Alexander they were well pleased, because he was the first that entreated of true peace with them, and they were confederate with him always.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:59 @ Now king Alexander had written unto Jonathan, that he should come and meet him.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:63 @ And he made him sit by himself, and said into his princes, Go with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, that no man complain against him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of cause.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:64 @ Now when his accusers saw that he was honored according to the proclamation, and clothed in purple, they fled all away.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:66 @ Afterward Jonathan returned to Jerusalem with peace and gladness.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:69 @ Then Demetrius made Apollonius the governor of Celosyria his general, who gathered together a great host, and camped in Jamnia, and sent unto Jonathan the high priest, saying,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:72 @ Ask and learn who I am, and the rest that take our part, and they shall tell thee that thy foot is not able to to flight in their own land.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:77 @ Whereof when Apollonius heard, he took three thousand horsemen, with a great host of footmen, and went to Azotus as one that journeyed, and therewithal drew him forth into the plain. because he had a great number of horsemen, in whom he put his trust.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:78 @ Then Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, where the armies joined battle.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:84 @ But Jonathan set fire on Azotus, and the cities round about it, and took their spoils; and the temple of Dagon, with them that were fled into it, he burned with fire.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:86 @ And from thence Jonathan removed his host, and camped against Ascalon, where the men of the city came forth, and met him with great pomp.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:87 @ After this returned Jonathan and his host unto Jerusalem, having any spoils.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:1 @ And the king of Egypt gathered together a great host, like the sand that lieth upon the sea shore, and many ships, and went about through deceit to get Alexander's kingdom, and join it to his own.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:4 @ And when he came near to Azotus, they shewed him the temple of Dagon that was burnt, and Azotus and the suburbs thereof that were destroyed, and the bodies that were cast abroad and them that he had burnt in the battle; for they had made heaps of them by the way where he should pass.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:7 @ Afterward Jonathan, when he had gone with the king to the river called Eleutherus, returned again to Jerusalem.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:20 @ At the same time Jonathan gathered together them that were in Judea to take the tower that was in Jerusalem: and he made many engines of war against it.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:28 @ 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:11:30 @ King Demetrius unto his brother Jonathan, and unto the nation of the Jews, sendeth greeting:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:31 @ We send you here a copy of the letter which we did write unto our cousin Lasthenes concerning you, that ye might see it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:34 @ Wherefore we have ratified unto them the borders of Judea, with the three governments of Apherema and Lydda and Ramathem, that are added unto Judea from the country of Samaria, and all things appertaining unto them, for all such as do sacrifice in Jerusalem, instead of the payments which the king received of them yearly aforetime out of the fruits of the earth and of trees.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:37 @ Now therefore see that thou make a copy of these things, and let it be delivered unto Jonathan, and set upon the holy mount in a conspicuous place.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:38 @ After this, when king Demetrius saw that the land was quiet before him, and that no resistance was made against him, he sent away all his forces, every one to his own place, except certain bands of strangers, whom he had gathered from the isles of the heathen: wherefore all the forces of his fathers hated him.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:44 @ Upon this Jonathan sent him three thousand strong men unto Antioch: and when they came to the king, the king was very glad of their coming.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:45 @ Howbeit they that were of the city gathered themselves together into the midst of the city, to the number of an hundred and twenty thousand men, and would have slain the king.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:47 @ Then the king called to the Jews for help, who came unto him all at once, and dispersing themselves through the city slew that day in the city to the number of an hundred thousand.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:48 @ 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:11:51 @ With that they cast away their weapons, and made peace; and the Jews were honoured in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all that were in his realm; and they returned to Jerusalem, having great spoils.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:53 @ 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:11:57 @ At that time young Antiochus wrote unto Jonathan, saying, I confirm thee in the high priesthood, and appoint thee ruler over the four governments, and to be one of the king's friends.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:60 @ Then Jonathan went forth, and passed through the cities beyond the water, and all the forces of Syria gathered themselves unto him for to help him: and when he came to Ascalon, they of the city met him honourably.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:62 @ 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:11:63 @ Now when Jonathan heard that Demetrius' princes were come to Cades, which is in Galilee, with a great power, purposing to remove him out of the country,

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:11:71 @ Then Jonathan rent his clothes, and cast earth upon his head, and prayed.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:3 @ 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:12:4 @ Upon this the Romans gave them letters unto the governors of every place that they should bring them into the land of Judea peaceably.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:5 @ And this is the copy of the letters which Jonathan wrote to the Lacedemonians:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:6 @ Jonathan the high priest, and the elders of the nation, and the priests, and the other of the Jews, unto the Lacedemonians their brethren send greeting:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:7 @ There were letters sent in times past unto Onias the high priest from Darius, who reigned then among you, to signify that ye are our brethren, as the copy here underwritten doth specify.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:9 @ 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:12:13 @ As for ourselves, we have had great troubles and wars on every side, forsomuch as the kings that are round about us have fought against us.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:21 @ It is found in writing, that the Lacedemonians and Jews are brethren, and that they are of the stock of Abraham:

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:26 @ 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:12:28 @ But when the adversaries heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle, they feared, and trembled in their hearts, and they kindled fires in their camp.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:34 @ 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:12:35 @ After this came Jonathan home again, and calling the elders of the people together, he consulted with them about building strong holds in Judea,

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:37 @ Upon this they came together to build up the city, forasmuch as part of the wall toward the brook on the east side was fallen down, and they repaired that which was called Caphenatha.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:39 @ Now Tryphon went about to get the kingdom of Asia, and to kill Antiochus the king, that he might set the crown upon his own head.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:45 @ Therefore send them now home again, and choose a few men to wait on thee, and come thou with me to Ptolemais, for I will give it thee, and the rest of the strong holds and forces, and all that have any charge: as for me, I will return and depart: for this is the cause of my coming.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:46 @ 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:12:49 @ Then sent Tryphon an host of footmen and horsemen into Galilee, and into the great plain, to destroy all Jonathan's company.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:52 @ Whereupon they all came into the land of Judea peaceably, and there they bewailed Jonathan, and them that were with him, and they were sore afraid; wherefore all Israel made great lamentation.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:1 @ Now when Simon heard that Tryphon had gathered together a great host to invade the land of Judea, and destroy it,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:2 @ And saw that the people was in great trembling and fear, he went up to Jerusalem, and gathered the people together,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:5 @ Now therefore be it far from me, that I should spare mine own life in any time of trouble: for I am no better than my brethren.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:8 @ And they answered with a loud voice, saying, Thou shalt be our leader instead of Judas and Jonathan thy brother.

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:16 @ Wherefore now send an hundred talents of silver, and two of his sons for hostages, that when he is at liberty he may not revolt from us, and we will let him go.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:17 @ Hereupon Simon, albeit he perceived that they spake deceitfully unto him yet sent he the money and the children, lest peradventure he should procure to himself great hatred of the people:

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:19 @ 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:13:21 @ Now they that were in the tower sent messengers unto Tryphon, to the end that he should hasten his coming unto them by the wilderness, and send them victuals.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:23 @ And when he came near to Bascama he slew Jonathan, who was buried there.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:25 @ Then sent Simon, and took the bones of Jonathan his brother, and buried them in Modin, the city of his fathers.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:29 @ And in these he made cunning devices, about the which he set great pillars, and upon the pillars he made all their armour for a perpetual memory, and by the armour ships carved, that they might be seen of all that sail on the sea.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:34 @ Moreover Simon chose men, and sent to king Demetrius, to the end he should give the land an immunity, because all that Tryphon did was to spoil.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:44 @ And they that were in the engine leaped into the city; whereupon there was a great uproar in the city:

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:13:48 @ Yea, he put all uncleanness out of it, and placed such men there as would keep the law, and made it stronger than it was before, and built therein a dwellingplace for himself.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:49 @ They also of the tower in Jerusalem were kept so strait, that they could neither come forth, nor go into the country, nor buy, nor sell: wherefore they were in great distress for want of victuals, and a great number of them perished through famine.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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:14:2 @ But when Arsaces, the king of Persia and Media, heard that Demetrius was entered within his borders, he sent one of his princes to take him alive:

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:14:7 @ And gathered together a great number of captives, and had the dominion of Gazera, and Bethsura, and the tower, out of the which he took all uncleaness, neither was there any that resisted him.

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:14:18 @ They wrote unto him in tables of brass, to renew the friendship and league which they had made with Judas and Jonathan his brethren:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:20 @ And this is the copy of the letters that the Lacedemonians sent; The rulers of the Lacedemonians, with the city, unto Simon the high priest, and the elders, and priests, and residue of the people of the Jews, our brethren, send greeting:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:21 @ The ambassadors that were sent unto our people certified us of your glory and honour: wherefore we were glad of their coming,

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:14:30 @ (For after that Jonathan, having gathered his nation together, and been their high priest, was added to his people,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:31 @ Their enemies prepared to invade their country, that they might destroy it, and lay hands on the sanctuary:

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:14:34 @ Moreover he fortified Joppa, which lieth upon the sea, and Gazera, that bordereth upon Azotus, where the enemies had dwelt before: but he placed Jews there, and furnished them with all things convenient for the reparation thereof.)

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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:14:42 @ Moreover that he should be their captain, and should take charge of the sanctuary, to set them over their works, and over the country, and over the armour, and over the fortresses, that, I say, he should take charge of the sanctuary;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:43 @ Beside this, that he should be obeyed of every man, and that all the writings in the country should be made in his name, and that he should be clothed in purple, and wear gold:

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:14:48 @ 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:15:3 @ 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:15:9 @ 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:15:12 @ For he saw that troubles came upon him all at once, and that his forces had forsaken him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:19 @ We thought it good therefore to write unto the kings and countries, that they should do them no harm, nor fight against them, their cities, or countries, nor yet aid their enemies against them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:21 @ If therefore there be any pestilent fellows, that have fled from their country unto you, deliver them unto Simon the high priest, that he may punish them according to their own law.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:31 @ Or else give me for them five hundred talents of silver; and for the harm that ye have done, and the tributes of the cities, other five hundred talents: if not, we will come and fight against you

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:36 @ But returned in a rage to the king, and made report unto him of these speeches, and of the glory of Simon, and of all that he had seen: whereupon the king was exceeding wroth.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:41 @ And when he had built up Cedrou, he set horsemen there, and an host of footmen, to the end that issuing out they might make outroads upon the ways of Judea, as the king had commanded him.

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:16:7 @ That done, he divided his men, and set the horsemen in the midst of the footmen: for the enemies' horsemen were very many.

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:16:9 @ At that time was Judas John's brother wounded; but John still followed after them, until he came to Cedron, which Cendebeus had built.

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:16:14 @ 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:16:18 @ Then Ptolemee wrote these things, and sent to the king, that he should send him an host to aid him, and he would deliver him the country and cities.

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@2Esdras:2:8 @ Woe be unto thee, Assur, thou that hidest the unrighteous in thee! O thou wicked people, remember what I did unto Sodom and Gomorrha;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:9 @ Whose land lieth in clods of pitch and heaps of ashes: even so also will I do unto them that hear me not, saith the Almighty Lord.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:10 @ Thus saith the Lord unto Esdras, Tell my people that I will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I would have given unto Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:13 @ Go, and ye shall receive: pray for few days unto you, that they may be shortened: the kingdom is already prepared for you: watch.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:16 @ And those that be dead will I raise up again from their places, and bring them out of the graves: for I have known my name in Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:29 @ My hands shall cover thee, so that thy children shall not see hell.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:31 @ Remember thy children that sleep, for I shall bring them out of the sides of the earth, and shew mercy unto them: for I am merciful, saith the Lord Almighty.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:33 @ I Esdras received a charge of the Lord upon the mount Oreb, that I should go unto Israel; but when I came unto them, they set me at nought, and despised the commandment of the Lord.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:34 @ And therefore I say unto you, O ye heathen, that hear and understand, look for your Shepherd, he shall give you everlasting rest; for he is nigh at hand, that shall come in the end of the world.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:37 @ O receive the gift that is given you, and be glad, giving thanks unto him that hath led you to the heavenly kingdom.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:38 @ Arise up and stand, behold the number of those that be sealed in the feast of the Lord;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:40 @ Take thy number, O Sion, and shut up those of thine that are clothed in white, which have fulfilled the law of the Lord.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:41 @ The number of thy children, whom thou longedst for, is fulfilled: beseech the power of the Lord, that thy people, which have been called from the beginning, may be hallowed.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:43 @ And in the midst of them there was a young man of a high stature, taller than all the rest, and upon every one of their heads he set crowns, and was more exalted; which I marvelled at greatly.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:45 @ He answered and said unto me, These be they that have put off the mortal clothing, and put on the immortal, and have confessed the name of God: now are they crowned, and receive palms.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:46 @ Then said I unto the angel, What young person is it that crowneth them, and giveth them palms in their hands?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:47 @ So he answered and said unto me, It is the Son of God, whom they have confessed in the world. Then began I greatly to commend them that stood so stiffly for the name of the Lord.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:2 @ For I saw the desolation of Sion, and the wealth of them that dwelt at Babylon.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:3 @ And my spirit was sore moved, so that I began to speak words full of fear to the most High, and said,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:4 @ O Lord, who bearest rule, thou spakest at the beginning, when thou didst plant the earth, and that thyself alone, and commandedst the people,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:9 @ And again in process of time thou broughtest the flood upon those that dwelt in the world, and destroyedst them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:10 @ And it came to pass in every of them, that as death was to Adam, so was the flood to these.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:12 @ And it happened, that when they that dwelt upon the earth began to multiply, and had gotten them many children, and were a great people, they began again to be more ungodly than the first.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:15 @ And madest an everlasting covenant with him, promising him that thou wouldest never forsake his seed.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:17 @ And it came to pass, that when thou leadest his seed out of Egypt, thou broughtest them up to the mount Sinai.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:18 @ And bowing the heavens, thou didst set fast the earth, movedst the whole world, and madest the depths to tremble, and troubledst the men of that age.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:19 @ And thy glory went through four gates, of fire, and of earthquake, and of wind, and of cold; that thou mightest give the law unto the seed of Jacob, and diligence unto the generation of Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:20 @ And yet tookest thou not away from them a wicked heart, that thy law might bring forth fruit in them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:21 @ For the first Adam bearing a wicked heart transgressed, and was overcome; and so be all they that are born of him.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:22 @ Thus infirmity was made permanent; and the law (also) in the heart of the people with the malignity of the root; so that the good departed away, and the evil abode still.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:25 @ When this was done many years, then they that inhabited the city forsook thee,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:28 @ Are their deeds then any better that inhabit Babylon, that they should therefore have the dominion over Sion?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:29 @ For when I came thither, and had seen impieties without number, then my soul saw many evildoers in this thirtieth year, so that my heart failed me.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:31 @ I do not remember how this way may be left: Are they then of Babylon better than they of Sion?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:32 @ Or is there any other people that knoweth thee beside Israel? or what generation hath so believed thy covenants as Jacob?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:33 @ And yet their reward appeareth not, and their labour hath no fruit: for I have gone here and there through the heathen, and I see that they flow in wealth, and think not upon thy commandments.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:34 @ Weigh thou therefore our wickedness now in the balance, and their's also that dwell the world; and so shall thy name no where be found but in Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:35 @ Or when was it that they which dwell upon the earth have not sinned in thy sight? or what people have so kept thy commandments?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:36 @ Thou shalt find that Israel by name hath kept thy precepts; but not the heathen.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:1 @ And the angel that was sent unto me, whose name was Uriel, gave me an answer,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:4 @ Whereof if thou canst declare me one, I will shew thee also the way that thou desirest to see, and I shall shew thee from whence the wicked heart cometh.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:5 @ And I said, Tell on, my lord. Then said he unto me, Go thy way, weigh me the weight of the fire, or measure me the blast of the wind, or call me again the day that is past.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:6 @ Then answered I and said, What man is able to do that, that thou shouldest ask such things of me?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:11 @ How should thy vessel then be able to comprehend the way of the Highest, and, the world being now outwardly corrupted to understand the corruption that is evident in my sight?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:12 @ Then said I unto him, It were better that we were not at all, than that we should live still in wickedness, and to suffer, and not to know wherefore.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:14 @ And said, Come, let us go and make war against the sea that it may depart away before us, and that we may make us more woods.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:15 @ The floods of the sea also in like manner took counsel, and said, Come, let us go up and subdue the woods of the plain, that there also we may make us another country.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:29 @ If therefore that which is sown be not turned upside down, and if the place where the evil is sown pass not away, then cannot it come that is sown with good.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:38 @ Then answered I and said, O Lord that bearest rule, even we all are full of impiety.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:41 @ Then said I, No, Lord, that can she not. And he said unto me, In the grave the chambers of souls are like the womb of a woman:

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:45 @ Shew me then whether there be more to come than is past, or more past than is to come.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:48 @ So I stood, and saw, and, behold, an hot burning oven passed by before me: and it happened that when the flame was gone by I looked, and, behold, the smoke remained still.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:50 @ Then said he unto me, Consider with thyself; as the rain is more than the drops, and as the fire is greater than the smoke; but the drops and the smoke remain behind: so the quantity which is past did more exceed.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:51 @ Then I prayed, and said, May I live, thinkest thou, until that time? or what shall happen in those days?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:1 @ Nevertheless as coming the tokens, behold, the days shall come, that they which dwell upon earth shall be taken in a great number, and the way of truth shall be hidden, and the land shall be barren of faith.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:2 @ But iniquity shall be increased above that which now thou seest, or that thou hast heard long ago.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:3 @ And the land, that thou seest now to have root, shalt thou see wasted suddenly.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:4 @ But if the most High grant thee to live, thou shalt see after the third trumpet that the sun shall suddenly shine again in the night, and the moon thrice in the day:

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:11 @ 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:5:17 @ Knowest thou not that Israel is committed unto thee in the land of their captivity?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:18 @ Up then, and eat bread, and forsake us not, as the shepherd that leaveth his flock in the hands of cruel wolves.

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:5:23 @ And said, O Lord that bearest rule, of every wood of the earth, and of all the trees thereof, thou hast chosen thee one only vine:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:26 @ And of all the fowls that are created thou hast named thee one dove: and of all the cattle that are made thou hast provided thee one sheep:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:27 @ And among all the multitudes of people thou hast gotten thee one people: and unto this people, whom thou lovedst, thou gavest a law that is approved of all.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:31 @ Now when I had spoken these words, the angel that came to me the night afore was sent unto me,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:32 @ And said unto me, Hear me, and I will instruct thee; hearken to the thing that I say, and I shall tell thee more.

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:5:36 @ And he said unto me, Number me the things that are not yet come, gather me together the dross that are scattered abroad, make me the flowers green again that are withered,

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:38 @ And I said, O Lord that bearest rule, who may know these things, but he that hath not his dwelling with men?

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:44 @ Then answered he me, and said, The creature may not haste above the maker; neither may the world hold them at once that shall be created therein.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:48 @ 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:5:50 @ And I asked, and said, Seeing thou hast now given me the way, I will proceed to speak before thee: for our mother, of whom thou hast told me that she is young, draweth now nigh unto age.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:51 @ He answered me, and said, Ask a woman that beareth children, and she shall tell thee.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:53 @ And she shall answer thee, They that be born in the the strength of youth are of one fashion, and they that are born in the time of age, when the womb faileth, are otherwise.

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:6:7 @ Then answered I and said, What shall be the parting asunder of the times? or when shall be the end of the first, and the beginning of it that followeth?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:9 @ For Esau is the end of the world, and Jacob is the beginning of it that followeth.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:11 @ I answered then and said, O Lord that bearest rule, if I have found favour in thy sight,

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:17 @ 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:6:18 @ And it said, Behold, the days come, that I will begin to draw nigh, and to visit them that dwell upon the earth,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:19 @ And will begin to make inquisition of them, what they be that have hurt unjustly with their unrighteousness, and when the affliction of Sion shall be fulfilled;

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:24 @ At that time shall friends fight one against another like enemies, and the earth shall stand in fear with those that dwell therein, the springs of the fountains shall stand still, and in three hours they shall not run.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:25 @ 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:6:26 @ And the men that are received shall see it, who have not tasted death from their birth: and the heart of the inhabitants shall be changed, and turned into another meaning.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:31 @ If thou wilt pray yet more, and fast seven days again, I shall tell thee greater things by day than I have heard.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:35 @ And it came to pass after this, that I wept again, and fasted seven days in like manner, that I might fulfil the three weeks which he told me.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:41 @ Upon the second day thou madest the spirit of the firmament, and commandedst it to part asunder, and to make a division betwixt the waters, that the one part might go up, and the other remain beneath.

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:6:45 @ Upon the fourth day thou commandedst that the sun should shine, and the moon give her light, and the stars should be in order:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:46 @ And gavest them a charge to do service unto man, that was to be 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:6:48 @ For the dumb water and without life brought forth living things at the commandment of God, that all people might praise thy wondrous works.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:49 @ Then didst thou ordain two living creatures, the one thou calledst Enoch, and the other Leviathan;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:51 @ Unto Enoch thou gavest one part, which was dried up the third day, that he should dwell in the same part, wherein are a thousand hills:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:52 @ But unto Leviathan thou gavest the seventh part, namely, the moist; and hast kept him to be devoured of whom thou wilt, and when.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:56 @ 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:7:2 @ And he said unto me, Up, Esdras, and hear the words that I am come to tell thee.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:3 @ And I said, Speak on, my God. Then said he unto me, The sea is set in a wide place, that it might be deep and great.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:16 @ Why hast thou not considered in thy mind this thing that is to come, rather than that which is present?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:17 @ Then answered I and said, O Lord that bearest rule, thou hast ordained in thy law, that the righteous should inherit these things, but that the ungodly should perish.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:19 @ And he said unto me. There is no judge above God, and none that hath understanding above the Highest.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:28 @ 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:7:31 @ And after seven days the world, that yet awaketh not, shall be raised up, and that shall die that is corrupt

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:32 @ 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:7:39 @ And Helias for those that received rain; and for the dead, that he might live:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:45 @ Then shall no man be able to save him that is destroyed, nor to oppress him that hath gotten the victory.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:50 @ And that there is promised us an everlasting hope, whereas ourselves being most wicked are made vain?

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:52 @ And that the glory of the most High is kept to defend them which have led a wary life, whereas we have walked in the most wicked ways of all?

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:55 @ And that the faces of them which have used abstinence shall shine above the stars, whereas our faces shall be blacker than darkness?

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:57 @ Then answered he me, and said, This is the condition of the battle, which man that is born upon the earth shall fight;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:58 @ That, if he be overcome, he shall suffer as thou hast said: but if he get the victory, he shall receive the thing that I say.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:63 @ And upon those also that turn to his law;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:64 @ And that he is patient, and long suffereth those that have sinned, as his creatures;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:9 @ But that which keepeth and is kept shall both be preserved: and when the time cometh, the womb preserved delivereth up the things that grew in it.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:29 @ Let it not be thy will to destroy them which have lived like beasts; but to look upon them that have clearly taught thy law.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:39 @ 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:8:47 @ For thou comest far short that thou shouldest be able to love my creature more than I: but I have ofttimes drawn nigh unto thee, and unto it, but never to the unrighteous.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:49 @ In that thou hast humbled thyself, as it becometh thee, and hast not judged thyself worthy to be much glorified among the righteous.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:2 @ Then shalt thou understand, that it is the very same time, wherein the Highest will begin to visit the world which he made.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:16 @ Like as a wave is greater than a drop.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:47 @ And whereas she told thee that she nourished him with labour: that was the dwelling in Jerusalem.

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:10:50 @ 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:10:59 @ 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:11:4 @ But her heads were at rest: the head in the midst was greater than the other, yet rested it with the residue.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:5 @ Moreover I beheld, and, lo, the eagle flew with her feathers, and reigned upon earth, and over them that dwelt therein.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:6 @ And I saw that all things under heaven were subject unto her, and no man spake against her, no, not one creature upon earth.

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:11:19 @ 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:11:23 @ And there was no more upon the eagle's body, but three heads that rested, and six little wings.

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:11:25 @ And I beheld, and, lo, the feathers that were under the wing thought to set up themselves and to have the rule.

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:11:30 @ And then I saw that the two other heads were joined with it.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:31 @ And, behold, the head was turned with them that were with it, and did eat up the two feathers under the wing that would have reigned.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:32 @ But this head put the whole earth in fear, and bare rule in it over all those that dwelt upon the earth with much oppression; and it had the governance of the world more than all the wings that had been.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:33 @ And after this I beheld, and, lo, the head that was in the midst suddenly appeared no more, like as the wings.

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:11:35 @ And I beheld, and, lo, the head upon the right side devoured it that was upon the left side.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:37 @ And I beheld, and lo, as it were a roaring lion chased out of the wood: and I saw that he sent out a man's voice unto the eagle, and said,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:39 @ Art not thou it that remainest of the four beasts, whom I made to reign in my world, that the end of their times might come through them?

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:2 @ And, behold, the head that remained and the four wings appeared no more, and the two went unto it and set themselves up to reign, and their kingdom was small, and fill of uproar.

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:12:4 @ Lo, this hast thou done unto me, in that thou searchest out the ways of the Highest.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:15 @ Whereof the second shall begin to reign, and shall have more time than any of the twelve.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:18 @ That after the time of that kingdom there shall arise great strivings, and it shall stand in peril of failing: nevertheless it shall not then fall, but shall be restored again to his beginning.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:20 @ That in him there shall arise eight kings, whose times shall be but small, and their years swift.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:26 @ And whereas thou sawest that the great head appeared no more, it signifieth that one of them shall die upon his bed, and yet with pain.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:29 @ And whereas thou sawest two feathers under the wings passing over the head that is on the right side;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:30 @ It signifieth that these are they, whom the Highest hath kept unto their end: this is the small kingdom and full of trouble, as thou sawest.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:39 @ 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:12:40 @ And it came to pass, when all the people saw that the seven days were past, and I not come again into the city, they gathered them all together, from the least unto the greatest, and came unto me, and said,

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:2 @ And, lo, there arose a wind from the sea, that it moved all the waves thereof.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:3 @ And I beheld, and, lo, that man waxed strong with the thousands of heaven: and when he turned his countenance to look, all the things trembled that were seen under him.

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:13:5 @ And after this I beheld, and, lo, there was gathered together a multitude of men, out of number, from the four winds of the heaven, to subdue the man that came out of the sea

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:9 @ And, lo, as he saw the violence of the multitude that came, he neither lifted up his hand, nor held sword, nor any instrument of war:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:10 @ But only I saw that he sent out of his mouth as it had been a blast of fire, and out of his lips a flaming breath, and out of his tongue he cast out sparks and tempests.

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:13:14 @ Thou hast shewed thy servant these wonders from the beginning, and hast counted me worthy that thou shouldest receive my prayer:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:30 @ And he shall come to the astonishment of them that dwell on the earth.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:41 @ But they took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:42 @ That they might there keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:45 @ For through that country there was a great way to go, namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called Arsareth.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:32 @ When this was done, there was kindled a flame: but it was consumed by the light that shined from the altar.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:1 @ It is also found in the records, that Jeremy the prophet commanded them that were carried away to take of the fire, as it hath been signified:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:2 @ And how that the prophet, having given them the law, charged them not to forget the commandments of the Lord, and that they should not err in their minds, when they see images of silver and gold, with their ornaments.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:3 @ Insomuch that Seleucus of Asia of his own revenues bare all the costs belonging to the service of the sacrifices.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:11 @ And that some of it belonged to Hircanus son of Tobias, a man of great dignity, and not as that wicked Simon had misinformed: the sum whereof in all was four hundred talents of silver, and two hundred of gold:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:12 @ And that it was altogether impossible that such wrongs should be done unto them, that had committed it to the holiness of the place, and to the majesty and inviolable sanctity of the temple, honoured over all the world.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:13 @ But Heliodorus, because of the king's commandment given him, said, That in any wise it must be brought into the king's treasury.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:17 @ For the man was so compassed with fear and horror of the body, that it was manifest to them that looked upon him, what sorrow he had now in his heart.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:19 @ And the women, girt with sackcloth under their breasts, abounded in the streets, and the virgins that were kept in ran, some to the gates, and some to the walls, and others looked out of the windows.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:22 @ They then called upon the Almighty Lord to keep the things committed of trust safe and sure for those that had committed them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:23 @ Nevertheless Heliodorus executed that which was decreed.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:24 @ Now as he was there present himself with his guard about the treasury, the Lord of spirits, and the Prince of all power, caused a great apparition, so that all that presumed to come in with him were astonished at the power of God, and fainted, and were sore afraid.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:25 @ For there appeared unto them an horse with a terrible rider upon him, and adorned with a very fair covering, and he ran fiercely, and smote at Heliodorus with his forefeet, and it seemed that he that sat upon the horse had complete harness of gold.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:27 @ And Heliodorus fell suddenly unto the ground, and was compassed with great darkness: but they that were with him took him up, and put him into a litter.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:28 @ Thus him, that lately came with a great train and with all his guard into the said treasury, they carried out, being unable to help himself with his weapons: and manifestly they acknowledged the power of God.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:30 @ But they praised the Lord, that had miraculously honoured his own place: for the temple; which a little afore was full of fear and trouble, when the Almighty Lord appeared, was filled with joy and gladness.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:31 @ Then straightways certain of Heliodorus' friends prayed Onias, that he would call upon the most High to grant him his life, who lay ready to give up the ghost.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:32 @ So the high priest, suspecting lest the king should misconceive that some treachery had been done to Heliodorus by the Jews, offered a sacrifice for the health of the man.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:34 @ And seeing that thou hast been scourged from heaven, declare unto all men the mighty power of God. And when they had spoken these words, they appeared no more.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:35 @ So Heliodorus, after he had offered sacrifice unto the Lord, and made great vows unto him that had saved his life, and saluted Onias, returned with his host to the king.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:38 @ If thou hast any enemy or traitor, send him thither, and thou shalt receive him well scourged, if he escape with his life: for in that place, no doubt; there is an especial power of God.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:39 @ For he that dwelleth in heaven hath his eye on that place, and defendeth it; and he beateth and destroyeth them that come to hurt it.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:2 @ Thus was he bold to call him a traitor, that had deserved well of the city, and tendered his own nation, and was so zealous of the laws.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:3 @ But when their hatred went so far, that by one of Simon's faction murders were committed,

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:6 @ For he saw that it was impossible that the state should continue quiet, and Simon leave his folly, unless the king did look thereunto.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:14 @ That the priests had no courage to serve any more at the altar, but despising the temple, and neglecting the sacrifices, hastened to be partakers of the unlawful allowance in the place of exercise, after the game of Discus called them forth;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:18 @ Now when the game that was used every faith year was kept at Tyrus, the king being present,

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:32 @ 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:4:33 @ Which when Onias knew of a surety, he reproved him, and withdrew himself into a sanctuary at Daphne, that lieth by Antiochia.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:6 @ But Jason slew his own citizens without mercy, not considering that to get the day of them of his own nation would be a most unhappy day for him; but thinking they had been his enemies, and not his countrymen, whom he conquered.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:9 @ 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:5:11 @ Now when this that was done came to the king's car, he thought that Judea had revolted: whereupon removing out of Egypt in a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms,

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:15 @ Yet was he not content with this, but presumed to go into the most holy temple of all the world; Menelaus, that traitor to the laws, and to his own country, being his guide:

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:20 @ 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:5:22 @ And he left governors to vex the nation: at Jerusalem, Philip, for his country a Phrygian, and for manners more barbarous than he that set him there;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:23 @ And at Garizim, Andronicus; and besides, Menelaus, who worse than all the rest bare an heavy hand over the citizens, having a malicious mind against his countrymen the Jews.

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:8:11 @ Wherefore immediately he sent to the cities upon the sea coast, proclaiming a sale of the captive Jews, and promising that they should have fourscore and ten bodies for one talent, not expecting the vengeance that was to follow upon him from the Almighty God.

apocrypha_kjv@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.

Thou, O Lord, according to thy great goodness hast promised repentance and forgiveness to them that have sinned against thee: and of thine infinite mercies hast appointed repentance unto sinners, that they may be saved. Thou therefore, O Lord, that art the God of the just, hast not appointed repentance to the just, as to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, which have not sinned against thee; but thou hast appointed repentance unto me that am a sinner: for I have sinned above the number of the sands of the sea. My transgressions, O Lord, are multiplied: my transgressions are multiplied, and I am not worthy to behold and see the height of heaven for the multitude of mine iniquities. I am bowed down with many iron bands, that I cannot life up mine head, neither have any release: for I have provoked thy wrath, and done evil before thee: I did not thy will, neither kept I thy commandments: I have set up abominations, and have multiplied offences. Now therefore I bow the knee of mine heart, beseeching thee of grace. I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, and I acknowledge mine iniquities: wherefore, I humbly beseech thee, forgive me, O Lord, forgive me, and destroy me not with mine iniquites. Be not angry with me for ever, by reserving evil for me; neither condemn me to the lower parts of the earth. For thou art the God, even the God of them that repent; and in me thou wilt shew all thy goodness: for thou wilt save me, that am unworthy, according to thy great mercy. Therefore I will praise thee for ever all the days of my life: for all the powers of the heavens do praise thee, and thine is the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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:12:6 @ Then he took them both apart, and said unto them, Bless God, praise him, and magnify him, and praise him for the things which he hath done unto you in the sight of all that live. It is good to praise God, and exalt his name, and honourably to shew forth the works of God; therefore be not slack to praise him.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:12:8 @ Prayer is good with fasting and alms and righteousness. A little with righteousness is better than much with unrighteousness. It is better to give alms than to lay up gold:

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:12:10 @ But they that sin are enemies to their own life.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:12:11 @ Surely I will keep close nothing from you. For I said, It was good to keep close the secret of a king, but that it was honourable to reveal the works of God.

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:14:5 @ And that again God will have mercy on them, and bring them again into the land, where they shall build a temple, but not like to the first, until the time of that age be fulfilled; and afterward they shall return from all places of their captivity, and build up Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God shall be built in it for ever with a glorious building, as the prophets have spoken thereof.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:14:8 @ 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:14:9 @ But keep thou the law and the commandments, and shew thyself merciful and just, that it may go well with thee.

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@Wisdom:1:1 @ Love righteousness, ye that be judges of the earth: think of the Lord with a good (heart,) and in simplicity of heart seek him.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:1:5 @ For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and remove from thoughts that are without understanding, and will not abide when unrighteousness cometh in.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:1:11 @ 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:2:4 @ And our name shall be forgotten in time, and no man shall have our works in remembrance, and our life shall pass away as the trace of a cloud, and shall be dispersed as a mist, that is driven away with the beams of the sun, and overcome with the heat thereof.

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:24 @ Nevertheless through envy of the devil came death into the world: and they that do hold of his side do find it.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:3:13 @ 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:4:8 @ For honourable age is not that which standeth in length of time, nor that is measured by number of years.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:4:10 @ 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:4:12 @ For the bewitching of naughtiness doth obscure things that are honest; and the wandering of concupiscence doth undermine the simple mind.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:4:15 @ This the people saw, and understood it not, neither laid they up this in their minds, That his grace and mercy is with his saints, and that he hath respect unto his chosen.

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:5:9 @ All those things are passed away like a shadow, and as a post that hasted by;

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:10 @ And as a ship that passeth over the waves of the water, which when it is gone by, the trace thereof cannot be found, neither the pathway of the keel in the waves;

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:5:14 @ For the hope of the Godly is like dust that is blown away with the wind; like a thin froth that is driven away with the storm; like as the smoke which is dispersed here and there with a tempest, and passeth away as the remembrance of a guest that tarrieth but a day.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:2 @ Give ear, ye that rule the people, and glory in the multitude of nations.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:12 @ Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away: yea, she is easily seen of them that love her, and found of such as seek her.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:13 @ She preventeth them that desire her, in making herself first known unto them.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:21 @ If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, honour wisdom, that ye may reign for evermore.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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:7:2 @ And in my mother's womb was fashioned to be flesh in the time of ten months, being compacted in blood, of the seed of man, and the pleasure that came with sleep.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:7:4 @ I was nursed in swaddling clothes, and that with cares.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:7:10 @ I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for the light that cometh from her never goeth out.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:7:14 @ For she is a treasure unto men that never faileth: which they that use become the friends of God, being commended for the gifts that come from learning.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:7:17 @ For he hath given me certain knowledge of the things that are, namely, to know how the world was made, and the operation of the elements:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:7:22 @ For wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught me: for in her is an understanding spirit holy, one only, manifold, subtil, lively, clear, undefiled, plain, not subject to hurt, loving the thing that is good quick, which cannot be letted, ready to do good,

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:7:29 @ For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the order of stars: being compared with the light, she is found before it.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:8:5 @ If riches be a possession to be desired in this life; what is richer than wisdom, that worketh all things?

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:8:6 @ And if prudence work; who of all that are is a more cunning workman than she?

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:8:9 @ Therefore I purposed to take her to me to live with me, knowing that she would be a counsellor of good things, and a comfort in cares and grief.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:8:13 @ Moreover by the means of her I shall obtain immortality, and leave behind me an everlasting memorial to them that come after me.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:9:2 @ And ordained man through thy wisdom, that he should have dominion over the creatures which thou hast made,

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:9:13 @ For what man is he that can know the counsel of God? or who can think what the will of the Lord is?

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:10:7 @ 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:10:9 @ Rut wisdom delivered from pain those that attended upon her.

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:10:14 @ And left him not in bonds, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: as for them that had accused him, she shewed them to be liars, and gave him perpetual glory.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:10:15 @ She delivered the righteous people and blameless seed from the nation that oppressed them.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:11:7 @ For a manifest reproof of that commandment, whereby the infants were slain, thou gavest unto them abundance of water by a means which they hoped not for:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:11:8 @ Declaring by that thirst then how thou hadst punished their adversaries.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:11:17 @ For thy Almighty hand, that made the world of matter without form, wanted not means to send among them a multitude of bears or fierce lions,

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:11:22 @ For the whole world before thee is as a little grain of the balance, yea, as a drop of the morning dew that falleth down upon the earth.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:6 @ 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:12:7 @ That the land, which thou esteemedst above all other, might receive a worthy colony of God's children.

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:17 @ For when men will not believe that thou art of a full power, thou shewest thy strength, and among them that know it thou makest their boldness manifest.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:19 @ But by such works hast thou taught thy people that the just man should be merciful, and hast made thy children to be of a good hope that thou givest repentance for sins.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:22 @ Therefore, whereas thou dost chasten us, thou scourgest our enemies a thousand times more, to the intent that, when we judge, we should carefully think of thy goodness, and when we ourselves are judged, we should look for mercy.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:4 @ But if they were astonished at their power and virtue, let them understand by them, how much mightier he is that made them.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:11 @ 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:13:16 @ For he provided for it that it might not fall, knowing that it was unable to help itself; for it is an image, and hath need of help:

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:18 @ For health he calleth upon that which is weak: for life prayeth to that which is dead; for aid humbly beseecheth that which hath least means to help: and for a good journey he asketh of that which cannot set a foot forward:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:19 @ And for gaining and getting, and for good success of his hands, asketh ability to do of him, that is most unable to do any thing.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:1 @ Again, one preparing himself to sail, and about to pass through the raging waves, calleth upon a piece of wood more rotten than the vessel that carrieth him.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:4 @ Shewing that thou canst save from all danger: yea, though a man went to sea without art.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:5 @ Nevertheless thou wouldest not that the works of thy wisdom should be idle, and therefore do men commit their lives to a small piece of wood, and passing the rough sea in a weak vessel are saved.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:8 @ But that which is made with hands is cursed, as well it, as he that made it: he, because he made it; and it, because, being corruptible, it was called god.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:15 @ For a father afflicted with untimely mourning, when he hath made an image of his child soon taken away, now honoured him as a god, which was then a dead man, and delivered to those that were under him ceremonies and sacrifices.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:17 @ Whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt far off, they took the counterfeit of his visage from far, and made an express image of a king whom they honoured, to the end that by this their forwardness they might flatter him that was absent, as if he were present.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:22 @ 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:14:31 @ For it is not the power of them by whom they swear: but it is the just vengeance of sinners, that punisheth always the offence of the ungodly.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:5 @ 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:15:6 @ Both they that make them, they that desire them, and they that worship them, are lovers of evil things, and are worthy to have such things to trust upon.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:10 @ His heart is ashes, his hope is more vile than earth, and his life of less value than clay:

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:14 @ And all the enemies of thy people, that hold them in subjection, are most foolish, and are more miserable than very babes.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:3 @ To the end that they, desiring food, might for the ugly sight of the beasts sent among them lothe even that, which they must needs desire; but these, suffering penury for a short space, might be made partakers of a strange taste.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:7 @ For he that turned himself toward it was not saved by the thing that he saw, but by thee, that art the Saviour of all.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:8 @ And in this thou madest thine enemies confess, that it is thou who deliverest from all evil:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:11 @ For they were pricked, that they should remember thy words; and were quickly saved, that not falling into deep forgetfulness, they might be continually mindful of thy goodness.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:16 @ For the ungodly, that denied to know thee, were scourged by the strength of thine arm: with strange rains, hails, and showers, were they persecuted, that they could not avoid, and through fire were they consumed.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:18 @ For sometime the flame was mitigated, that it might not burn up the beasts that were sent against the ungodly; but themselves might see and perceive that they were persecuted with the judgment of God.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:24 @ For the creature that serveth thee, who art the Maker increaseth his strength against the unrighteous for their punishment, and abateth his strength for the benefit of such as put their trust in thee.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:25 @ Therefore even then was it altered into all fashions, and was obedient to thy grace, that nourisheth all things, according to the desire of them that had need:

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

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

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