apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:50 @ And there I vowed a fast unto the young men before our Lord, to desire of him a prosperous journey both for us and them that were with us, for our children, and for the cattle:

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:52 @ For we had said unto the king, that the power of the Lord our God should be with them that seek him, to support them in all ways.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:54 @ Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Esebrias, and Assanias, and ten men of their brethren with them:

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:55 @ And I weighed them the gold, and the silver, and the holy vessels of the house of our Lord, which the king, and his council, and the princes, and all Israel, had given.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:56 @ And when I had weighed it, I delivered unto them six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels of an hundred talents, and an hundred talents of gold,

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:57 @ And twenty golden vessels, and twelve vessels of brass, even of fine brass, glittering like gold.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:66 @ Threescore and twelve lambs, goats for a peace offering, twelve; all of them a sacrifice to the Lord.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:76 @ For ever since the time of our fathers we have been and are in great sin, even unto this day.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:77 @ And for our sins and our fathers' we with our brethren and our kings and our priests were given up unto the kings of the earth, to the sword, and to captivity, and for a prey with shame, unto this day.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:91 @ And as Esdras in his prayer made his confession, weeping, and lying flat upon the ground before the temple, there gathered unto him from Jerusalem a very great multitude of men and women and children: for there was great weeping among the multitude.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:47 @ And all the people answered, Amen; and lifting up their hands they fell to the ground, and worshipped the Lord.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:50 @ This day is holy unto the Lord; (for they all wept when they heard the law:)

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:54 @ Then went they their way, every one to eat and drink, and make merry, and to give part to them that had nothing, and to make great cheer;

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:55 @ Because they understood the words wherein they were instructed, and for the which they had been assembled.

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:1:6 @ Wherefore he called his servants, such as were honourable, and had been brought up with him from his youth, and parted his kingdom among them, while he was yet alive.

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:18 @ And made war against Ptolemee king of Egypt: but Ptolemee was afraid of him, and fled; and many were wounded to death.

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:1:22 @ And the table of the shewbread, and the pouring vessels, and the vials. and the censers of gold, and the veil, and the crown, and the golden ornaments that were before the temple, all which he pulled off.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:24 @ And when he had taken all away, he went into his own land, having made a great massacre, and spoken very proudly.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:25 @ Therefore there was a great mourning in Israel, in every place where they were;

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:33 @ Then builded they the city of David with a great and strong wall, and with mighty towers, and made it a strong hold for them.

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:1:39 @ Her sanctuary was laid waste like a wilderness, her feasts were turned into mourning, her sabbaths into reproach her honour into contempt.

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:1:58 @ Thus did they by their authority unto the Israelites every month, to as many as were found in the cities.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:59 @ Now the five and twentieth day of the month they did sacrifice upon the idol altar, which was upon the altar of God.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:6 @ And when he saw the blasphemies that were committed in Juda and Jerusalem,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:7 @ He said, Woe is me! wherefore was I born to see this misery of my people, and of the holy city, and to dwell there, when it was delivered into the hand of the enemy, and the sanctuary into the hand of strangers?

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:13 @ To what end therefore shall we live any longer?

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:19 @ Then Mattathias answered and spake with a loud voice, Though all the nations that are under the king's dominion obey him, and fall away every one from the religion of their fathers, and give consent to his commandments:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:21 @ God forbid that we should forsake the law and the ordinances.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:22 @ We will not hearken to the king's words, to go from our religion, either on the right hand, or the left.

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:2:34 @ But they said, We will not come forth, neither will we do the king's commandment, to profane the sabbath day.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:36 @ Howbeit they answered them not, neither cast they a stone at them, nor stopped the places where they lay hid;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:40 @ And one of them said to another, If we all do as our brethren have done, and fight not for our lives and laws against the heathen, they will now quickly root us out of the earth.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:42 @ Then came there unto him a company of Assideans who were mighty men of Israel, even all such as were voluntarily devoted unto the law.

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:2:45 @ Then Mattathias and his friends went round about, and pulled down the altars:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:59 @ Ananias, Azarias, and Misael, by believing were saved out of the flame.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:6 @ Wherefore the wicked shrunk for fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled, because salvation prospered in his hand.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:8 @ Moreover he went through the cities of Juda, destroying the ungodly out of them, and turning away wrath from Israel:

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:16 @ And when he came near to the going up of Bethhoron, Judas went forth to meet him with a small company:

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:18 @ Unto whom Judas answered, It is no hard matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few; and with the God of heaven it is all one, to deliver with a great multitude, or a small company:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:21 @ But we fight for our lives and our laws.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:24 @ And they pursued them from the going down of Bethhoron unto the plain, where were slain about eight hundred men of them; and the residue fled into the land of the Philistines.

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:3:37 @ 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:3:40 @ So they went forth with all their power, and came and pitched by Emmaus in the plain country.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:42 @ 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:3:45 @ 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:3:50 @ Then cried they with a loud voice toward heaven, saying, What shall we do with these, and whither shall we carry them away?

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:53 @ How shall we be able to stand against them, except thou, O God, be our help?

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:4:2 @ To the end he might rush in upon the camp of the Jews, and smite them suddenly. And the men of the fortress were his guides.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:4 @ While as yet the forces were dispersed from the camp.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:7 @ 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:4:9 @ Remember how our fathers were delivered in the Red sea, when Pharaoh pursued them with an army.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:31 @ Shut up this army in the hand of thy people Israel, and let them be confounded in their power and horsemen:

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:37 @ Upon this all the host assembled themselves together, and went up into mount Sion.

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:4:52 @ Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, which is called the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up betimes in the morning,

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:59 @ 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: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:5:5 @ 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:5:6 @ Afterward he passed over to the children of Ammon, where he found a mighty power, and much people, with Timotheus their captain.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:13 @ 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:5:14 @ While these letters were yet reading, behold, there came other messengers from Galilee with their clothes rent, who reported on this wise,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:16 @ Now when Judas and the people heard these words, there assembled a great congregation together, to consult what they should do for their brethren, that were in trouble, and assaulted of them.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:20 @ Now unto Simon were given three thousand men to go into Galilee, and unto Judas eight thousand men for the country of Galaad.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:22 @ And he pursued them unto the gate of Ptolemais; and there were slain of the heathen about three thousand men, whose spoils he took.

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:5:26 @ 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:5:29 @ From whence he removed by night, and went till he came to the fortress.

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:40 @ Then Timotheus said unto the captains of his host, When Judas and his host come near the brook, if he pass over first unto us, we shall not be able to withstand him; for he will mightily prevail against us:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:41 @ But if he be afraid, and camp beyond the river, we shall go over unto him, and prevail against him.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:44 @ 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:5:46 @ Now when they came unto Ephron, (this was a great city in the way as they should go, very well fortified) they could not turn from it, either on the right hand or the left, but must needs pass through the midst of it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:48 @ Whereupon Judas sent unto them in peaceable manner, saying, Let us pass through your land to go into our own country, and none shall do you any hurt; we will only pass through on foot: howbeit they would not open unto him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:51 @ 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:5:52 @ After this went they over Jordan into the great plain before Bethsan.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:54 @ So they went up to mount Sion with joy and gladness, where they offered burnt offerings, because not one of them were slain until they had returned in peace.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:61 @ Thus was there a great overthrow among the children of Israel, because they were not obedient unto Judas and his brethren, but thought to do some valiant act.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:2 @ 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:6:11 @ And I thought with myself, Into what tribulation am I come, and how great a flood of misery is it, wherein now I am! for I was bountiful and beloved in my power.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:18 @ 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:6:22 @ And they went unto the king, and said, How long will it be ere thou execute judgment, and avenge our brethren?

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:23 @ We have been willing to serve thy father, and to do as he would have us, and to obey his commandments;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:24 @ For which cause they of our nation besiege the tower, and are alienated from us: moreover as many of us as they could light on they slew, and spoiled our inheritance.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:30 @ 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:6:31 @ These went through Idumea, and pitched against Bethsura, which they assaulted many days, making engines of war; but they of Bethsura came out, and burned them with fire, and fought valiantly.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:32 @ Upon this Judas removed from the tower, and pitched in Bathzacharias, over against the king's camp.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:34 @ And to the end they might provoke the elephants to fight, they shewed them the blood of grapes and mulberries.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:35 @ Moreover they divided the beasts among the armies, and for every elephant they appointed a thousand men, armed with coats of mail, and with helmets of brass on their heads; and beside this, for every beast were ordained five hundred horsemen of the best.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:41 @ 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:6:42 @ Then Judas and his host drew near, and entered into battle, and there were slain of the king's army six hundred men.

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:6:48 @ Then the king's army went up to Jerusalem to meet them, and the king pitched his tents against Judea, and against mount Sion.

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:6:56 @ 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:6:57 @ Wherefore he went in all haste, and said to the king and the captains of the host and the company, We decay daily, and our victuals are but small, and the place we lay siege unto is strong, and the affairs of the kingdom lie upon us:

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:11 @ 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:7:15 @ So he spake unto them, peaceably, and sware unto them, saying, we will procure the harm neither of you nor your friends.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:25 @ 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:7:28 @ Let there be no battle between me and you; I will come with a few men, that I may see you in peace.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:31 @ Nicanor also, when he saw that his counsel was discovered, went out to fight against Judas beside Capharsalama:

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:36 @ Then the priests entered in, and stood before the altar and the temple, weeping, and saying,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:39 @ So Nicanor went out of Jerusalem, and pitched his tents in Bethhoron, where an host out of Syria met him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:41 @ 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:7:44 @ 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: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:8:6 @ How also Antiochus the great king of Asia, that came against them in battle, having an hundred and twenty elephants, with horsemen, and chariots, and a very great army, was discomfited by them;

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:15 @ Moreover how they had made for themselves a senate house, wherein three hundred and twenty men sat in council daily, consulting alway for the people, to the end they might be well ordered:

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:8:19 @ They went therefore to Rome, which was a very great journey, and came into the senate, where they spake and said.

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:8:26 @ 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:8:32 @ If therefore they complain any more against thee, we will do them justice, and fight with thee by sea and by land.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:2 @ 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:9:4 @ From whence they removed, and went to Berea, with twenty thousand footmen and two thousand horsemen.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:8 @ 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:9:9 @ But they dehorted him, saying, We shall never be able: let us now rather save our lives, and hereafter we will return with our brethren, and fight against them: for we are but few.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:11 @ 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:9:14 @ 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:9:17 @ Whereupon there was a sore battle, insomuch as many were slain on both parts.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:29 @ 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:9:33 @ 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:9:36 @ 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:9:38 @ Therefore they remembered John their brother, and went up, and hid themselves under the covert of the mountain:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:39 @ Where they lifted up their eyes, and looked, and, behold, there was much ado and great carriage: and the bridegroom came forth, and his friends and brethren, to meet them with drums, and instruments of musick, and many weapons.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:40 @ 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:9:43 @ Now when Bacchides heard hereof, he came on the sabbath day unto the banks of Jordan with a great power.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:48 @ 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:9:52 @ He fortified also the city Bethsura, and Gazera, and the tower, and put forces in them, and provision of victuals.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:58 @ 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:9:59 @ So they went and consulted with him.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:61 @ 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:9:64 @ Then went he and laid siege against Bethbasi; and they fought against it a long season and made engines of war.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:67 @ And when he began to smite them, and came up with his forces, Simon and his company went out of the city, and burned up the engines of war,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:72 @ 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:10:1 @ In the hundred and sixtieth year Alexander, the son of Antiochus surnamed Epiphanes, went up and took Ptolemais: for the people had received him, by means whereof he reigned there,

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:5 @ 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:10:12 @ Then the strangers, that were in the fortresses which Bacchides had built, fled away;

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:19 @ 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:10:23 @ What have we done, that Alexander hath prevented us in making amity with the Jews to strengthen himself?

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:26 @ Whereas ye have kept covenants with us, and continued in our friendship, not joining yourselves with our enemies, we have heard hereof, and are glad.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:32 @ 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:10:47 @ 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:10:49 @ And after the two kings had joined battle, Demetrius' host fled: but Alexander followed after him, and prevailed against them.

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:10:55 @ Then Ptolemee the king gave answer, saying, Happy be the day wherein thou didst return into the land of thy fathers, and satest in the throne of their 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:10:57 @ So Ptolemee went out of Egypt with his daughter Cleopatra, and they came unto Ptolemais in the hundred threescore and second year:

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:71 @ Now therefore, if thou trustest in thine own strength, come down to us into the plain field, and there let us try the matter together: for with me is the power of the cities.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:77 @ 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:10:81 @ But the people stood still, as Jonathan had commanded them: and so the enemies' horses were tired.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:84 @ 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:10:85 @ Thus there were burned and slain with the sword well nigh eight thousand men.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:15 @ But when Alexander heard of this, he came to war against him: whereupon king Ptolemee brought forth his host, and met him with a mighty power, and put him to flight.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:18 @ 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:11:24 @ And took silver and gold, and raiment, and divers presents besides, and went to Ptolemais unto the king, where he found favour in his sight.

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:11:33 @ We are determined to do good to the people of the Jews, who are our friends, and keep covenants with us, because of their good will toward us.

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:11:39 @ 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:11:43 @ Now therefore thou shalt do well, if thou send me men to help me; for all my forces are gone from me.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:45 @ 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:11:51 @ 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:11:58 @ Upon this he sent him golden vessels to be served in, and gave him leave to drink in gold, and to be clothed in purple, and to wear a golden buckle.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:61 @ From whence he went to Gaza, but they of Gaza shut him out; wherefore he laid siege unto it, and burned the suburbs thereof with fire, and spoiled them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:39 @ 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:12:41 @ Then Jonathan went out to meet him with forty thousand men chosen for the battle, and came to Bethsan.

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:12:47 @ And with himself he retained but three thousand men, of whom he sent two thousand into Galilee, and one thousand went with him.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:9 @ 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:13:15 @ 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:13:20 @ 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:13:24 @ Afterward Tryphon returned and went into his own land.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:33 @ Then Simon built up the strong holds in Judea, and fenced them about with high towers, and great walls, and gates, and bars, and laid up victuals therein.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:35 @ Unto whom king Demetrius answered and wrote after this manner:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:37 @ The golden crown, and the scarlet robe, which ye sent unto us, we have received: and we are ready to make a stedfast peace with you, yea, and to write unto our officers, to confirm the immunities which we have granted.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:43 @ In those days Simon camped against Gaza and besieged it round about; he made also an engine of war, and set it by the city, and battered a certain tower, and took it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:44 @ 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:13:50 @ Then cried they to Simon, beseeching him to be at one with them: which thing he granted them; and when he had put them out from thence, he cleansed the tower from pollutions:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:51 @ 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:14:1 @ Now in the hundred threescore and twelfth year king Demetrius gathered his forces together, and went into Media to get him help to fight against Tryphone.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:7 @ 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:14:13 @ Neither was there any left in the land to fight against them: yea, the kings themselves were overthrown in those days.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:19 @ 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:15:28 @ 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:15:34 @ Wherefore we, having opportunity, hold the inheritance of our fathers.

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

apocrypha_kjv@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:16:5 @ And when as they rose in the morning, and went into the plain, behold, a mighty great host both of footmen and horsemen came against them: howbeit there was a water brook betwixt them.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:33 @ 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: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:4:7 @ And he said unto me, If I should ask thee how great dwellings are in the midst of the sea, or how many springs are in the beginning of the deep, or how many springs are above the firmament, or which are the outgoings of paradise:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:9 @ Nevertheless now have I asked thee but only of the fire and wind, and of the day wherethrough thou hast passed, and of things from which thou canst not be separated, and yet canst thou give me no answer of them.

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:4:18 @ If thou wert judge now betwixt these two, whom wouldest thou begin to justify? or whom wouldest thou condemn?

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:4:20 @ Then answered he me, and said, Thou hast given a right judgment, but why judgest thou not thyself also?

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:4:22 @ Then answered I and said, I beseech thee, O Lord, let me have understanding:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:24 @ And we pass away out of the world as grasshoppers, and our life is astonishment and fear, and we are not worthy to obtain mercy.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:25 @ What will he then do unto his name whereby we are called? of these things have I asked.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:40 @ So he answered me, and said, Go thy way to a woman with child, and ask of her when she hath fulfilled her nine months, if her womb may keep the birth any longer within her.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:43 @ From the beginning, look, what thou desirest to see, it shall be shewed thee.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:44 @ Then answered I and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, and if it be possible, and if I be meet therefore,

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:1 @ 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:5:14 @ Then I awaked, and an extreme fearfulness went through all my body, and my mind was troubled, so that it fainted.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:19 @ Then said I unto him, Go thy ways from me, and come not nigh me. And he heard what I said, and went from me.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:38 @ 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:5:41 @ 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:5:50 @ 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:6:2 @ Before it thundered and lightened, or ever the foundations of paradise were laid,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:3 @ Before the fair flowers were seen, or ever the moveable powers were established, before the innumerable multitude of angels were gathered together,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:4 @ Or ever the heights of the air were lifted up, before the measures of the firmament were named, or ever the chimneys in Sion were hot,

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:7 @ 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:6:8 @ And he said unto me, From Abraham unto Isaac, when Jacob and Esau were born of him, Jacob's hand held first the heel of Esau.

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:6:12 @ I beseech thee, shew thy servant the end of thy tokens, whereof thou shewedst me part the last night.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:13 @ So he answered and said unto me, Stand up upon thy feet, and hear a mighty sounding voice.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:16 @ 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:6:18 @ 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:6:24 @ 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:6:35 @ 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:6:39 @ And then was the spirit, and darkness and silence were on every side; the sound of man's voice was not yet formed.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:51 @ 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:6:54 @ And after these, Adam also, whom thou madest lord of all thy creatures: of him come we all, and the people also whom thou hast chosen.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:58 @ But we thy people, whom thou hast called thy firstborn, thy only begotten, and thy fervent lover, are given into their hands.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:4 @ But put the case the entrance were narrow, and like a river;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:5 @ Who then could go into the sea to look upon it, and to rule it? if he went not through the narrow, how could he come into the broad?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:7 @ The entrance thereof is narrow, and is set in a dangerous place to fall, like as if there were a fire on the right hand, and on the left a deep water:

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:46 @ 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:7:51 @ 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:7:54 @ (For we have walked in unpleasant places.)

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:57 @ 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:7:62 @ 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:8:1 @ And he answered me, saying, The most High hath made this world for many, but the world to come for few.

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:20 @ O Lord, thou that dwellest in everlastingness which beholdest from above things in the heaven and in the air;

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:42 @ I answered then and said, If I have found grace, let me speak.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:50 @ 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:8:52 @ For unto you is paradise opened, the tree of life is planted, the time to come is prepared, plenteousness is made ready, a city is builded, and rest is allowed, yea, perfect goodness and wisdom.

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:4 @ 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:9:6 @ Even so the times also of the Highest have plain beginnings in wonder and powerful works, and endings in effects and signs.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:14 @ Then answered I and said,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:38 @ And when I spake these things in my heart, I looked back with mine eyes, and upon the right side I saw a woman, and, behold, she mourned and wept with a loud voice, and was much grieved in heart, and her clothes were rent, and she had ashes upon her head.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:44 @ This woman, whom thou sawest is Sion: and whereas she said unto thee, even she whom thou seest as a city builded,

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:59 @ 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:11:1 @ Then saw I a dream, and, behold, there came up from the sea an eagle, which had twelve feathered wings, and three heads.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:2 @ And I saw, and, behold, she spread her wings over all the earth, and all the winds of the air blew on her, and were gathered together.

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:11:10 @ And I beheld, and, lo, the voice went not out of her heads, but from the midst of her body.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:11 @ And I numbered her contrary feathers, and, behold, there were eight of them.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:22 @ After this I looked, and, behold, the twelve feathers appeared no more, nor the two little feathers:

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:11:29 @ 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:11:34 @ But there remained the two heads, which also in like sort ruled upon the earth, and over those that dwelt therein.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:37 @ 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:11:40 @ 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: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:12:5 @ Lo, yet am I weary in my mind, and very weak in my spirit; and little strength is there in me, for the great fear wherewith I was afflicted this night.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:11 @ The eagle, whom thou sawest come up from the sea, is the kingdom which was seen in the vision of thy brother Daniel.

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:12:14 @ In the same shall twelve kings reign, one after another:

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:12:16 @ And this do the twelve wings signify, which thou sawest.

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:12:19 @ And whereas thou sawest the eight small under feathers sticking to her wings, this is the interpretation:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:22 @ And whereas thou sawest three heads resting, this is the interpretation:

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:26 @ 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:12:29 @ 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:12:31 @ And the lion, whom thou sawest rising up out of the wood, and roaring, and speaking to the eagle, and rebuking her for her unrighteousness with all the words which thou hast heard;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:38 @ And teach them to the wise of the people, whose hearts thou knowest may comprehend and keep these secrets.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:51 @ But I remained still in the field seven days, as the angel commanded me; and did eat only in those days of the flowers of the field, and had my meat of the herbs

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:13 @ And there came much people unto him, whereof some were glad, some were sorry, and some of them were bound, and other some brought of them that were offered: then was I sick through great fear, and I awaked, and said,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:14 @ Thou hast shewed thy servant these wonders from the beginning, and hast counted me worthy that thou shouldest receive my prayer:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:17 @ For they that were not left were in heaviness.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:25 @ This is the meaning of the vision: Whereas thou sawest a man coming up from the midst of the sea:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:27 @ And whereas thou sawest, that out of his mouth there came as a blast of wind, and fire, and storm;

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:34 @ And an innumerable multitude shall be gathered together, as thou sawest them, willing to come, and to overcome him by fighting.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:36 @ And Sion shall come, and shall be shewed to all men, being prepared and builded, like as thou sawest the hill graven without hands.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:8 @ And thus he that a little afore thought he might command the waves of the sea, (so proud was he beyond the condition of man) and weigh the high mountains in a balance, was now cast on the ground, and carried in an horselitter, shewing forth unto all the manifest power of God.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:12 @ And when he himself could not abide his own smell, he said these words, It is meet to be subject unto God, and that a man that is mortal should not proudly think of himself if he were God.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:17 @ Yea, and that also he would become a Jew himself, and go through all the world that was inhabited, and declare the power of God.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:20 @ If ye and your children fare well, and your affairs be to your contentment, I give very great thanks to God, having my hope in heaven.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:21 @ As for me, I was weak, or else I would have remembered kindly your honour and good will returning out of Persia, and being taken with a grievous disease, I thought it necessary to care for the common safety of all:

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:25 @ Again, considering how that the princes that are borderers and neighbours unto my kingdom wait for opportunities, and expect what shall be the event. I have appointed my son Antiochus king, whom I often committed and commended unto many of you, when I went up into the high provinces; to whom I have written as followeth:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:29 @ And Philip, that was brought up with him, carried away his body, who also fearing the son of Antiochus went into Egypt to Ptolemeus Philometor.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:10 @ Now will we declare the acts of Antiochus Eupator, who was the son of this wicked man, gathering briefly the calamities of the wars.

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:20 @ Now they that were with Simon, being led with covetousness, were persuaded for money through certain of those that were in the castle, and took seventy thousand drachms, and let some of them escape.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:22 @ So he slew those that were found traitors, and immediately took the two castles.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:23 @ And having good success with his weapons in all things he took in hand, he slew in the two holds more than twenty thousand.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:25 @ But when he drew near, they that were with Maccabeus turned themselves to pray unto God, and sprinkled earth upon their heads, and girded their loins with sackcloth,

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:30 @ And took Maccabeus betwixt them, and covered him on every side weapons, and kept him safe, but shot arrows and lightnings against the enemies: so that being confounded with blindness, and full of trouble, they were killed.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:31 @ And there were slain of footmen twenty thousand and five hundred, and six hundred horsemen.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:34 @ And they that were within, trusting to the strength of the place, blasphemed exceedingly, and uttered wicked words.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:35 @ Nevertheless upon the fifth day early twenty young men of Maccabeus' company, inflamed with anger because of the blasphemies, assaulted the wall manly, and with a fierce courage killed all that they met withal.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:36 @ Others likewise ascending after them, whiles they were busied with them that were within, burnt the towers, and kindling fires burnt the blasphemers alive; and others broke open the gates, and, having received in the rest of the army, took the city,

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:4 @ Not at all considering the power of God but puffed up with his ten thousands of footmen, and his thousands of horsemen, and his fourscore elephants.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:7 @ Then Maccabeus himself first of all took weapons, exhorting the other that they would jeopard themselves together with him to help their brethren: so they went forth together with a willing mind.

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:21 @ Fare ye well. The hundred and eight and fortieth year, the four and twentieth day of the month Dioscorinthius.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:25 @ Wherefore our mind is, that this nation shall be in rest, and we have determined to restore them their temple, that they may live according to the customs of their forefathers.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:26 @ Thou shalt do well therefore to send unto them, and grant them peace, that when they are certified of our mind, they may be of good comfort, and ever go cheerfully about their own affairs.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:28 @ If ye fare well, we have our desire; we are also in good health.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:33 @ Fare ye well. In the hundred forty and eighth year, and the fifteenth day of the month Xanthicus.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:35 @ Whatsoever Lysias the king's cousin hath granted, therewith we also are well pleased.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:37 @ Therefore send some with speed, that we may know what is your mind.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:38 @ Farewell. This hundred and eight and fortieth year, the fifteenth day of the month Xanthicus.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:1 @ When these covenants were made, Lysias went unto the king, and the Jews were about their husbandry.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:5 @ When Judas heard of this cruelty done unto his countrymen, he commanded those that were with him to make them ready.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:7 @ And when the town was shut up, he went backward, as if he would return to root out all them of the city of Joppa.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:8 @ But when he heard that the Jamnites were minded to do in like manner unto the Jews that dwelt among them,

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:20 @ And Maccabeus ranged his army by bands, and set them over the bands, and went against Timotheus, who had about him an hundred and twenty thousand men of foot, and two thousand and five hundred horsemen.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:22 @ But when Judas his first band came in sight, the enemies, being smitten with fear and terror through the appearing of him who seeth all things, fled amain, one running into this way, another that way, so as that they were often hurt of their own men, and wounded with the points of their own swords.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:28 @ But when Judas and his company had called upon Almighty God, who with his power breaketh the strength of his enemies, they won the city, and slew twenty and five thousand of them that were within,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:30 @ But when the Jews that dwelt there had testified that the Scythopolitans dealt lovingly with them, and entreated them kindly in the time of their adversity;

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:34 @ And it happened that in their fighting together a few of the Jews were slain.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:36 @ Now when they that were with Gorgias had fought long, and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord, that he would shew himself to be their helper and leader of the battle.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:39 @ And upon the day following, as the use had been, Judas and his company came to take up the bodies of them that were slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen in their fathers' graves.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:40 @ Now under the coats of every one that was slain they found things consecrated to the idols of the Jamnites, which is forbidden the Jews by the law. Then every man saw that this was the cause wherefore they were slain.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:41 @ All men therefore praising the Lord, the righteous Judge, who had opened the things that were hid,

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:43 @ And when he had made a gathering throughout the company to the sum of two thousand drachms of silver, he sent it to Jerusalem to offer a sin offering, doing therein very well and honestly, in that he was mindful of the resurrection:

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:1 @ In the hundred forty and ninth year it was told Judas, that Antiochus Eupator was coming with a great power into Judea,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:2 @ And with him Lysias his protector, and ruler of his affairs, having either of them a Grecian power of footmen, an hundred and ten thousand, and horsemen five thousand and three hundred, and elephants two and twenty, and three hundred chariots armed with hooks.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:8 @ For inasmuch as he had committed many sins about the altar, whose fire and ashes were holy, he received his death in ashes.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:12 @ So when they had all done this together, and besought the merciful Lord with weeping and fasting, and lying flat upon the ground three days long, Judas, having exhorted them, commanded they should be in a readiness.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:15 @ And having given the watchword to them that were about him, Victory is of God; with the most valiant and choice young men he went in into the king's tent by night, and slew in the camp about four thousand men, and the chiefest of the elephants, with all that were upon him.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:18 @ Now when the king had taken a taste of the manliness of the Jews, he went about to take the holds by policy,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:20 @ For Judas had conveyed unto them that were in it such things as were necessary.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:24 @ And accepted well of Maccabeus, made him principal governor from Ptolemais unto the Gerrhenians;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:25 @ Came to Ptolemais: the people there were grieved for the covenants; for they stormed, because they would make their covenants void:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:26 @ Lysias went up to the judgment seat, said as much as could be in defence of the cause, persuaded, pacified, made them well affected, returned to Antioch. Thus it went touching the king's coming and departing.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:5 @ Howbeit having gotten opportunity to further his foolish enterprize, and being called into counsel by Demetrius, and asked how the Jews stood affected, and what they intended, he answered thereunto:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:9 @ Wherefore, O king, seeing knowest all these things, be careful for the country, and our nation, which is pressed on every side, according to the clemency that thou readily shewest unto all.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:13 @ Commanding him to slay Judas, and to scatter them that were with him, and to make Alcimus high priest of the great temple.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:20 @ So when they had taken long advisement thereupon, and the captain had made the multitude acquainted therewith, and it appeared that they were all of one mind, they consented to the covenants,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:21 @ And appointed a day to meet in together by themselves: and when the day came, and stools were set for either of them,

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:46 @ When as his blood was now quite gone, he plucked out his bowels, and taking them in both his hands, he cast them upon the throng, and calling upon the Lord of life and spirit to restore him those again, he thus died.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:3 @ Then the most ungracious wretch demanded, if there were a Mighty one in heaven, that had commanded the sabbath day to be kept.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:12 @ And this was his vision: That Onias, who had been high priest, a virtuous and a good man, reverend in conversation, gentle in condition, well spoken also, and exercised from a child in all points of virtue, holding up his hands prayed for the whole body of the Jews.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:14 @ Then Onias answered, saying, This is a lover of the brethren, who prayeth much for the people, and for the holy city, to wit, Jeremias the prophet of God.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:20 @ And now, when as all looked what should be the trial, and the enemies were already come near, and the army was set in array, and the beasts conveniently placed, and the horsemen set in wings,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:25 @ Then Nicanor and they that were with him came forward with trumpets and songs.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:27 @ So that fighting with their hands, and praying unto God with their hearts, they slew no less than thirty and five thousand men: for through the appearance of God they were greatly cheered.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:31 @ So when he was there, and called them of his nation together, and set the priests before the altar, he sent for them that were of the tower,

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:36 @ And they ordained all with a common decree in no case to let that day pass without solemnity, but to celebrate the thirtieth day of the twelfth month, which in the Syrian tongue is called Adar, the day before Mardocheus' day.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:37 @ Thus went it with Nicanor: and from that time forth the Hebrews had the city in their power. And here will I make an end.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:38 @ And if I have done well, and as is fitting the story, it is that which I desired: but if slenderly and meanly, it is that which I could attain unto.

apocrypha_kjv@AdditionsToEsther:10:8 @ And the nations were those that were assembled to destroy the name of the Jews:

apocrypha_kjv@AdditionsToEsther:10:9 @ And my nation is this Israel, which cried to God, and were saved: for the Lord hath saved his people, and the Lord hath delivered us from all those evils, and God hath wrought signs and great wonders, which have not been done among the Gentiles.

apocrypha_kjv@AdditionsToEsther:11:9 @ And the whole righteous nation was troubled, fearing their own evils, and were ready to perish.

apocrypha_kjv@AdditionsToEsther:11:10 @ Then they cried unto God, and upon their cry, as it were from a little fountain, was made a great flood, even much water.

apocrypha_kjv@AdditionsToEsther:13:1 @ The copy of the letters was this: The great king Artexerxes writeth these things to the princes and governours that are under him from India unto Ethiopia in an hundred and seven and twenty provinces.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:5:14 @ And brought them to mount Sina, and Cades-Barne, and cast forth all that dwelt in the wilderness.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:5:16 @ And they cast forth before them the Chanaanite, the Pherezite, the Jebusite, and the Sychemite, and all the Gergesites, and they dwelt in that country many days.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:5:20 @ Now therefore, my lord and governor, if there be any error against this people, and they sin against their God, let us consider that this shall be their ruin, and let us go up, and we shall overcome them.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:5:21 @ But if there be no iniquity in their nation, let my lord now pass by, lest their Lord defend them, and their God be for them, and we become a reproach before all the world.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:5:22 @ And when Achior had finished these sayings, all the people standing round about the tent murmured, and the chief men of Holofernes, and all that dwelt by the sea side, and in Moab, spake that he should kill him.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:5:23 @ For, say they, we will not be afraid of the face of the children of Israel: for, lo, it is a people that have no strength nor power for a strong battle

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:5:24 @ Now therefore, lord Holofernes, we will go up, and they shall be a prey to be devoured of all thine army.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:6:1 @ And when the tumult of men that were about the council was ceased, Holofernes the chief captain of the army of Assur said unto Achior and all the Moabites before all the company of other nations,

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:6:12 @ And when the men of the city saw them, they took up their weapons, and went out of the city to the top of the hill: and every man that used a sling kept them from coming up by casting of stones against them.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:7:5 @ Then every man took up his weapons of war, and when they had kindled fires upon their towers, they remained and watched all that night.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:7:6 @ But in the second day Holofernes brought forth all his horsemen in the sight of the children of Israel which were in Bethulia,

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:7:10 @ For this people of the children of Israel do not trust in their spears, but in the height of the mountains wherein they dwell, because it is not easy to come up to the tops of their mountains.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:7:21 @ And the cisterns were emptied, and they had not water to drink their fill for one day; for they gave them drink by measure.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:7:22 @ Therefore their young children were out of heart, and their women and young men fainted for thirst, and fell down in the streets of the city, and by the passages of the gates, and there was no longer any strength in them.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:7:24 @ God be judge between us and you: for ye have done us great injury, in that ye have not required peace of the children of Assur.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:7:28 @ We take to witness against you the heaven and the earth, and our God and Lord of our fathers, which punisheth us according to our sins and the sins of our fathers, that he do not according as we have said this day.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:7:29 @ Then there was great weeping with one consent in the midst of the assembly; and they cried unto the Lord God with a loud voice.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:7:32 @ And he dispersed the people, every one to their own charge; and they went unto the walls and towers of their city, and sent the women and children into their houses: and they were very low brought in the city.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:8:3 @ For as he stood overseeing them that bound sheaves in the field, the heat came upon his head, and he fell on his bed, and died in the city of Bethulia: and they buried him with his fathers in the field between Dothaim and Balamo.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:8:30 @ But the people were very thirsty, and compelled us to do unto them as we have spoken, and to bring an oath upon ourselves, which we will not break.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:9:8 @ Throw down their strength in thy power, and bring down their force in thy wrath: for they have purposed to defile thy sanctuary, and to pollute the tabernacle where thy glorious name resteth and to cast down with sword the horn of thy altar.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:11:8 @ For we have heard of thy wisdom and thy policies, and it is reported in all the earth, that thou only art excellent in all the kingdom, and mighty in knowledge, and wonderful in feats of war.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:11:9 @ Now as concerning the matter, which Achior did speak in thy council, we have heard his words; for the men of Bethulia saved him, and he declared unto them all that he had spoken unto thee.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:12:3 @ Then Holofernes said unto her, If thy provision should fail, how should we give thee the like? for there be none with us of thy nation.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:12:7 @ Then Holofernes commanded his guard that they should not stay her: thus she abode in the camp three days, and went out in the night into the valley of Bethulia, and washed herself in a fountain of water by the camp.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:13:15 @ So she took the head out of the bag, and shewed it, and said unto them, behold the head of Holofernes, the chief captain of the army of Assur, and behold the canopy, wherein he did lie in his drunkenness; and the Lord hath smitten him by the hand of a woman.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:13:16 @ As the Lord liveth, who hath kept me in my way that I went, my countenance hath deceived him to his destruction, and yet hath he not committed sin with me, to defile and shame me.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:13:17 @ Then all the people were wonderfully astonished, and bowed themselves and worshipped God, and said with one accord, Blessed be thou, O our God, which hast this day brought to nought the enemies of thy people.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:14:11 @ And as soon as the morning arose, they hanged the head of Holofernes upon the wall, and every man took his weapons, and they went forth by bands unto the straits of the mountain.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:1 @ There dwelt a man in Babylon, called Joacim:

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

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:5 @ The same year were appointed two of the ancients of the people to be judges, such as the Lord spake of, that wickedness came from Babylon from ancient judges, who seemed to govern the people.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:7 @ Now when the people departed away at noon, Susanna went into her husband's garden to walk.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:10 @ And albeit they both were wounded with her love, yet durst not one shew another his grief.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:11 @ For they were ashamed to declare their lust, that they desired to have to do with her.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:15 @ And it fell out, as they watched a fit time, she went in as before with two maids only, and she was desirous to wash herself in the garden: for it was hot.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:18 @ And they did as she bade them, and shut the garden doors, and went out themselves at privy doors to fetch the things that she had commanded them: but they saw not the elders, because they were hid.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:19 @ Now when the maids were gone forth, the two elders rose up, and ran unto her, saying,

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:27 @ But when the elders had declared their matter, the servants were greatly ashamed: for there was never such a report made of Susanna.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:33 @ Therefore her friends and all that saw her wept.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:35 @ And she weeping looked up toward heaven: for her heart trusted in the Lord.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:36 @ And the elders said, As we walked in the garden alone, this woman came in with two maids, and shut the garden doors, and sent the maids away.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:38 @ Then we that stood in a corner of the garden, seeing this wickedness, ran unto them.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:39 @ And when we saw them together, the man we could not hold: for he was stronger than we, and opened the door, and leaped out.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:40 @ But having taken this woman, we asked who the young man was, but she would not tell us: these things do we testify.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:43 @ Thou knowest that they have borne false witness against me, and, behold, I must die; whereas I never did such things as these men have maliciously invented against me.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:54 @ Now then, if thou hast seen her, tell me, Under what tree sawest thou them companying together? Who answered, Under a mastick tree.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:55 @ And Daniel said, Very well; thou hast lied against thine own head; for even now the angel of God hath received the sentence of God to cut thee in two.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:1:6 @ But I alone went often to Jerusalem at the feasts, as it was ordained unto all the people of Israel by an everlasting decree, having the firstfruits and tenths of increase, with that which was first shorn; and them gave I at the altar to the priests the children of Aaron.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:1:10 @ And when we were carried away captives to Nineve, all my brethren and those that were of my kindred did eat of the bread of the Gentiles.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:1:14 @ And I went into Media, and left in trust with Gabael, the brother of Gabrias, at Rages a city of Media ten talents of silver.

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:2:10 @ And I knew not that there were sparrows in the wall, and mine eyes being open, the sparrows muted warm dung into mine eyes, and a whiteness came in mine eyes: and I went to the physicians, but they helped me not: moreover Achiacharus did nourish me, until I went into Elymais.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:3:4 @ For they obeyed not thy commandments: wherefore thou hast delivered us for a spoil, and unto captivity, and unto death, and for a proverb of reproach to all the nations among whom we are dispersed.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:3:14 @ Thou knowest, Lord, that I am pure from all sin with man,

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:1 @ Tobias then answered and said, Father, I will do all things which thou hast commanded me:

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:13 @ Then Tobit said, Thou art welcome, brother; be not now angry with me, because I have enquired to know thy tribe and thy family; for thou art my brother, of an honest and good stock: for I know Ananias and Jonathas, sons of that great Samaias, as we went together to Jerusalem to worship, and offered the firstborn, and the tenths of the fruits; and they were not seduced with the error of our brethren: my brother, thou art of a good stock.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:22 @ Then she made an end of weeping.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:6:1 @ And as they went on their journey, they came in the evening to the river Tigris, and they lodged there.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:6:2 @ And when the young man went down to wash himself, a fish leaped out of the river, and would have devoured him.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:6:9 @ And when they were come near to Rages,

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:6:12 @ And the maid is fair and wise: now therefore hear me, and I will speak to her father; and when we return from Rages we will celebrate the marriage: for I know that Raguel cannot marry her to another according to the law of Moses, but he shall be guilty of death, because the right of inheritance doth rather appertain to thee than to any other.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:6:13 @ Then the young man answered the angel, I have heard, brother Azarias that this maid hath been given to seven men, who all died in the marriage chamber.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:7:6 @ Then Raguel leaped up, and kissed him, and wept,

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:7:8 @ And likewise Edna his wife and Sara his daughter wept. Moreover they entertained them cheerfully; and after that they had killed a ram of the flock, they set store of meat on the table. Then said Tobias to Raphael, Brother Azarias, speak of those things of which thou didst talk in the way, and let this business be dispatched.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:7:17 @ Which when she had done as he had bidden her, she brought her thither: and she wept, and she received the tears of her daughter, and said unto her,

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:2 @ And as he went, he remembered the words of Raphael, and took the ashes of the perfumes, and put the heart and the liver of the fish thereupon, and made a smoke therewith.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:4 @ And after that they were both shut in together, Tobias rose out of the bed, and said, Sister, arise, and let us pray that God would have pity on us.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:17 @ Thou art to be praised because thou hast had mercy of two that were the only begotten children of their fathers: grant them mercy, O Lord, and finish their life in health with joy and mercy.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:19 @ And he kept the wedding feast fourteen days.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:20 @ For before the days of the marriage were finished, Raguel had said unto him by an oath, that he should not depart till the fourteen days of the marriage were expired;

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:9:2 @ Brother Azarias, take with thee a servant, and two camels, and go to Rages of Media to Gabael, and bring me the money, and bring him to the wedding.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:1 @ After these things Tobias went his way, praising God that he had given him a prosperous journey, and blessed Raguel and Edna his wife, and went on his way till they drew near unto Nineve.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:16 @ Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter in law at the gate of Nineve, rejoicing and praising God: and they which saw him go marvelled, because he had received his sight.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:19 @ And Tobias' wedding was kept seven days with great joy.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit: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@Tobit:14:14 @ And he died at Ecbatane in Media, being an hundred and seven and twenty years old.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:1:14 @ 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:2:2 @ For we are born at all adventure: and we shall be hereafter as though we had never been: for the breath in our nostrils is as smoke, and a little spark in the moving of our heart:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:7 @ Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and ointments: and let no flower of the spring pass by us:

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:4 @ We fools accounted his life madness, and his end to be without honour:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:6 @ Therefore have we erred from the way of truth, and the light of righteousness hath not shined unto us, and the sun of righteousness rose not upon us.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:7 @ We wearied ourselves in the way of wickedness and destruction: yea, we have gone through deserts, where there lay no way: but as for the way of the Lord, we have not known it.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:11 @ Or as when a bird hath flown through the air, there is no token of her way to be found, but the light air being beaten with the stroke of her wings and parted with the violent noise and motion of them, is passed through, and therein afterwards no sign where she went is to be found;

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:21 @ Then shall the right aiming thunderbolts go abroad; and from the clouds, as from a well drawn bow, shall they fly to the mark.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:10 @ 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:6:16 @ For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her, sheweth herself favourably unto them in the ways, and meeteth them in every thought.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:24 @ But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world: and a wise king is the upholding of the people.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:8:18 @ And great pleasure it is to have her friendship; and in the works of her hands are infinite riches; and in the exercise of conference with her, prudence; and in talking with her, a good report; I went about seeking how to take her to me.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:9:8 @ Thou hast commanded me to build a temple upon thy holy mount, and an altar in the city wherein thou dwellest, a resemblance of the holy tabernacle, which thou hast prepared from the beginning.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:10:8 @ For regarding not wisdom, they gat not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good; but also left behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness: so that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be hid.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:11:4 @ When they were thirsty, they called upon thee, and water was given them out of the flinty rock, and their thirst was quenched out of the hard stone.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:11:11 @ Whether they were absent or present, they were vexed alike.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:11:20 @ Yea, and without these might they have fallen down with one blast, being persecuted of vengeance, and scattered abroad through the breath of thy power: but thou hast ordered all things in measure and number and weight.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:16 @ For thy power is the beginning of righteousness, and because thou art the Lord of all, it maketh thee to be gracious unto all.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:22 @ 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:12:24 @ For they went astray very far in the ways of error, and held them for gods, which even among the beasts of their enemies were despised, being deceived, as children of no understanding.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:27 @ 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:13:4 @ 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:13:9 @ 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:13:18 @ For health he calleth upon that which is weak: for life prayeth to that which is dead; for aid humbly beseecheth that which hath least means to help: and for a good journey he asketh of that which cannot set a foot forward:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:4 @ 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:14:6 @ For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world governed by thy hand escaped in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:8 @ 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:14:13 @ For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall they be for ever.

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:14:16 @ Thus in process of time an ungodly custom grown strong was kept as a law, and graven images were worshipped by the commandments of kings.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:30 @ Howbeit for both causes shall they be justly punished: both because they thought not well of God, giving heed unto idols, and also unjustly swore in deceit, despising holiness.

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:16 @ 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:15:19 @ Neither are they beautiful, so much as to be desired in respect of beasts: but they went without the praise of God and his blessing.

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

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:16:9 @ For them the bitings of grasshoppers and flies killed, neither was there found any remedy for their life: for they were worthy to be punished by such.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:11 @ 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:16:13 @ For thou hast power of life and death: thou leadest to the gates of hell, and bringest up again.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:18 @ 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:16:21 @ For thy sustenance declared thy sweetness unto thy children, and serving to the appetite of the eater, tempered itself to every man's liking.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:17:3 @ For while they supposed to lie hid in their secret sins, they were scattered under a dark veil of forgetfulness, being horribly astonished, and troubled with [strange] apparitions.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:17:17 @ For whether he were husbandman, or shepherd, or a labourer in the field, he was overtaken, and endured that necessity, which could not be avoided: for they were all bound with one chain of darkness.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:17:21 @ Over them only was spread an heavy night, an image of that darkness which should afterward receive them: but yet were they unto themselves more grievous than the darkness.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:18:6 @ Of that night were our fathers certified afore, that assuredly knowing unto what oaths they had given credence, they might afterwards be of good cheer.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:18:10 @ But on the other side there sounded an ill according cry of the enemies, and a lamentable noise was carried abroad for children that were bewailed.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:18:12 @ So they all together had innumerable dead with one kind of death; neither were the living sufficient to bury them: for in one moment the noblest offspring of them was destroyed.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:19:3 @ For whilst they were yet mourning and making lamentation at the graves of the dead, they added another foolish device, and pursued them as fugitives, whom they had intreated to be gone.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:19:8 @ Wherethrough all the people went that were defended with thy hand, seeing thy marvellous strange wonders.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:19:14 @ For the Sodomites did not receive those, whom they knew not when they came: but these brought friends into bondage, that had well deserved of them.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:19:16 @ But these very grievously afflicted them, whom they had received with feastings, and were already made partakers of the same laws with them.

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

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

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

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