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

bes@Jdt:6:21 @ And Ozias took him out of the assembly unto his house, and made a feast to the elders; and they called on the God of Israel all that night for help.

bes@Jdt:7:1 @ The next day Holofernes commanded all his army, and all his people which were come to take his part, that they should remove their camp against Bethulia, to take aforehand the ascents of the hill country, and to make war against the children of Israel.

bes@Jdt:7:3 @ And they camped in the valley near unto Bethulia, by the fountain, and they spread themselves in breadth over Dothaim even to Belmaim, and in length from Bethulia unto Cynamon, which is over against Esdraelon.

bes@Jdt:7:4 @ Now the children of Israel, when they saw the multitude of them, were greatly troubled, and said every one to his neighbour, Now will these men lick up the face of the earth; for neither the high mountains, nor the valleys, nor the hills, are able to bear their weight.

bes@Jdt: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.

bes@Jdt: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,

bes@Jdt:7:8 @ Then came unto him all the chief of the children of Esau, and all the governors of the people of Moab, and the captains of the sea coast, and said,

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

bes@Jdt:7:12 @ Remain in thy camp, and keep all the men of thine army, and let thy servants get into their hands the fountain of water, which issueth forth of the foot of the mountain:

bes@Jdt: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.

bes@Jdt: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.

bes@Jdt:7:16 @ And these words pleased Holofernes and all his servants, and he appointed to do as they had spoken.

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

bes@Jdt:7:19 @ Then the children of Israel cried unto the Lord their God, because their heart failed, for all their enemies had compassed them round about, and there was no way to escape out from among them.

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

bes@Jdt:7:23 @ Then all the people assembled to Ozias, and to the chief of the city, both young men, and women, and children, and cried with a loud voice, and said before all the elders,

bes@Jdt:7:26 @ Now therefore call them unto you, and deliver the whole city for a spoil to the people of Holofernes, and to all his army.

bes@Jdt: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.

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

bes@Jdt:8:9 @ Now when she heard the evil words of the people against the governor, that they fainted for lack of water; for Judith had heard all the words that Ozias had spoken unto them, and that he had sworn to deliver the city unto the Assyrians after five days;

bes@Jdt:8:10 @ Then she sent her waitingwoman, that had the government of all things that she had, to call Ozias and Chabris and Charmis, the ancients of the city.

bes@Jdt:8:13 @ And now try the Lord Almighty, but ye shall never know any thing.

bes@Jdt:8:14 @ For ye cannot find the depth of the heart of man, neither can ye perceive the things that he thinketh: then how can ye search out God, that hath made all these things, and know his mind, or comprehend his purpose? Nay, my brethren, provoke not the Lord our God to anger.

bes@Jdt:8:17 @ Therefore let us wait for salvation of him, and call upon him to help us, and he will hear our voice, if it please him.

bes@Jdt:8:19 @ For the which cause our fathers were given to the sword, and for a spoil, and had a great fall before our enemies.

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

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

bes@Jdt:8:23 @ For our servitude shall not be directed to favour: but the Lord our God shall turn it to dishonour.

bes@Jdt:8:28 @ Then said Ozias to her, All that thou hast spoken hast thou spoken with a good heart, and there is none that may gainsay thy words.

bes@Jdt:8:29 @ For this is not the first day wherein thy wisdom is manifested; but from the beginning of thy days all the people have known thy understanding, because the disposition of thine heart is good.

bes@Jdt:8:31 @ Therefore now pray thou for us, because thou art a godly woman, and the Lord will send us rain to fill our cisterns, and we shall faint no more.

bes@Jdt:8:32 @ Then said Judith unto them, Hear me, and I will do a thing, which shall go throughout all generations to the children of our nation.

bes@Jdt:8:33 @ Ye shall stand this night in the gate, and I will go forth with my waitingwoman: and within the days that ye have promised to deliver the city to our enemies the Lord will visit Israel by mine hand.

bes@Jdt:9:2 @ O Lord God of my father Simeon, to whom thou gavest a sword to take vengeance of the strangers, who loosened the girdle of a maid to defile her, and discovered the thigh to her shame, and polluted her virginity to her reproach; for thou saidst, It shall not be so; and yet they did so:

bes@Jdt:9:4 @ And hast given their wives for a prey, and their daughters to be captives, and all their spoils to be divided among thy dear children; which were moved with thy zeal, and abhorred the pollution of their blood, and called upon thee for aid: O God, O my God, hear me also a widow.

bes@Jdt:9:6 @ Yea, what things thou didst determine were ready at hand, and said, Lo, we are here: for all thy ways are prepared, and thy judgements are in thy foreknowledge.

bes@Jdt:9:13 @ And make my speech and deceit to be their wound and stripe, who have purposed cruel things against thy covenant, and thy hallowed house, and against the top of Sion, and against the house of the possession of thy children.

bes@Jdt:9:14 @ And make every nation and tribe to acknowledge that thou art the God of all power and might, and that there is none other that protecteth the people of Israel but thou.

bes@Jdt:10:1 @ Now after that she had ceased to cry unto the God of Israel, and bad made an end of all these words.

bes@Jdt:10:2 @ She rose where she had fallen down, and called her maid, and went down into the house in the which she abode in the sabbath days, and in her feast days,

bes@Jdt:10:3 @ And pulled off the sackcloth which she had on, and put off the garments of her widowhood, and washed her body all over with water, and anointed herself with precious ointment, and braided the hair of her head, and put on a tire upon it, and put on her garments of gladness, wherewith she was clad during the life of Manasses her husband.

bes@Jdt:10:4 @ And she took sandals upon her feet, and put about her her bracelets, and her chains, and her rings, and her earrings, and all her ornaments, and decked herself bravely, to allure the eyes of all men that should see her.

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

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

bes@Jdt:10:11 @ Thus they went straight forth in the valley: and the first watch of the Assyrians met her,

bes@Jdt:10:12 @ And took her, and asked her, Of what people art thou? and whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? And she said, I am a woman of the Hebrews, and am fled from them: for they shall be given you to be consumed:

bes@Jdt:10:13 @ And I am coming before Holofernes the chief captain of your army, to declare words of truth; and I will shew him a way, whereby he shall go, and win all the hill country, without losing the body or life of any one of his men.

bes@Jdt:10:15 @ Thou hast saved thy life, in that thou hast hasted to come down to the presence of our lord: now therefore come to his tent, and some of us shall conduct thee, until they have delivered thee to his hands.

bes@Jdt:10:18 @ Then was there a concourse throughout all the camp: for her coming was noised among the tents, and they came about her, as she stood without the tent of Holofernes, till they told him of her.

bes@Jdt:10:20 @ And they that lay near Holofernes went out, and all his servants and they brought her into the tent.

bes@Jdt:10:23 @ And when Judith was come before him and his servants they all marvelled at the beauty of her countenance; and she fell down upon her face, and did reverence unto him: and his servants took her up.

bes@Jdt:11:1 @ Then said Holofernes unto her, Woman, be of good comfort, fear not in thine heart: for I never hurt any that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor, the king of all the earth.

bes@Jdt:11:4 @ For none shall hurt thee, but entreat thee well, as they do the servants of king Nabuchodonosor my lord.

bes@Jdt:11:6 @ And if thou wilt follow the words of thine handmaid, God will bring the thing perfectly to pass by thee; and my lord shall not fail of his purposes.

bes@Jdt:11:7 @ As Nabuchodonosor king of all the earth liveth, and as his power liveth, who hath sent thee for the upholding of every living thing: for not only men shall serve him by thee, but also the beasts of the field, and the cattle, and the fowls of the air, shall live by thy power under Nabuchodonosor and all his house.

bes@Jdt: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.

bes@Jdt: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.

bes@Jdt:11:10 @ Therefore, O lord and governor, reject not his word; but lay it up in thine heart, for it is true: for our nation shall not be punished, neither can sword prevail against them, except they sin against their God.

bes@Jdt:11:11 @ And now, that my lord be not defeated and frustrate of his purpose, even death is now fallen upon them, and their sin hath overtaken them, wherewith they will provoke their God to anger whensoever they shall do that which is not fit to be done:

bes@Jdt:11:12 @ For their victuals fail them, and all their water is scant, and they have determined to lay hands upon their cattle, and purposed to consume all those things, that God hath forbidden them to eat by his laws:

bes@Jdt:11:15 @ Now when they shall bring them word, they will forthwith do it, and they shall be given to thee to be destroyed the same day.

bes@Jdt:11:16 @ Wherefore I thine handmaid, knowing all this, am fled from their presence; and God hath sent me to work things with thee, whereat all the earth shall be astonished, and whosoever shall hear it.

bes@Jdt:11:17 @ For thy servant is religious, and serveth the God of heaven day and night: now therefore, my lord, I will remain with thee, and thy servant will go out by night into the valley, and I will pray unto God, and he will tell me when they have committed their sins:

bes@Jdt:11:18 @ And I will come and shew it unto thee: then thou shalt go forth with all thine army, and there shall be none of them that shall resist thee.

bes@Jdt:11:19 @ And I will lead thee through the midst of Judea, until thou come before Jerusalem; and I will set thy throne in the midst thereof; and thou shalt drive them as sheep that have no shepherd, and a dog shall not so much as open his mouth at thee: for these things were told me according to my foreknowledge, and they were declared unto me, and I am sent to tell thee.

bes@Jdt:11:20 @ Then her words pleased Holofernes and all his servants; and they marvelled at her wisdom, and said,

bes@Jdt:11:23 @ And now thou art both beautiful in thy countenance, and witty in thy words: surely if thou do as thou hast spoken thy God shall be my God, and thou shalt dwell in the house of king Nabuchodonosor, and shalt be renowned through the whole earth.

bes@Jdt:12:2 @ And Judith said, I will not eat thereof, lest there be an offence: but provision shall be made for me of the things that I have brought.

bes@Jdt:12:4 @ Then said Judith unto him As thy soul liveth, my lord, thine handmaid shall not spend those things that I have, before the Lord work by mine hand the things that he hath determined.

bes@Jdt: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.

bes@Jdt:12:10 @ And in the fourth day Holofernes made a feast to his own servants only, and called none of the officers to the banquet.

bes@Jdt:12:11 @ Then said he to Bagoas the eunuch, who had charge over all that he had, Go now, and persuade this Hebrew woman which is with thee, that she come unto us, and eat and drink with us.

bes@Jdt: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.

bes@Jdt:12:14 @ Then said Judith unto him, Who am I now, that I should gainsay my lord? surely whatsoever pleaseth him I will do speedily, and it shall be my joy unto the day of my death.

bes@Jdt:12:15 @ So she arose, and decked herself with her apparel and all her woman’s attire, and her maid went and laid soft skins on the ground for her over against Holofernes, which she had received of Bagoas for her daily use, that she might sit and eat upon them.

bes@Jdt:12:18 @ So Judith said, I will drink now, my lord, because my life is magnified in me this day more than all the days since I was born.

bes@Jdt:13:1 @ Now when the evening was come, his servants made haste to depart, and Bagoas shut his tent without, and dismissed the waiters from the presence of his lord; and they went to their beds: for they were all weary, because the feast had been long.

bes@Jdt:13:4 @ So all went forth and none was left in the bedchamber, neither little nor great. Then Judith, standing by his bed, said in her heart, O Lord God of all power, look at this present upon the works of mine hands for the exaltation of Jerusalem.

bes@Jdt:13:8 @ And she smote twice upon his neck with all her might, and she took away his head from him.

bes@Jdt:13:10 @ And she put it in her bag of meat: so they twain went together according to their custom unto prayer: and when they passed the camp, they compassed the valley, and went up the mountain of Bethulia, and came to the gates thereof.

bes@Jdt:13:12 @ Now when the men of her city heard her voice, they made haste to go down to the gate of their city, and they called the elders of the city.

bes@Jdt:13:13 @ And then they ran all together, both small and great, for it was strange unto them that she was come: so they opened the gate, and received them, and made a fire for a light, and stood round about them.

bes@Jdt: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.

bes@Jdt:13:18 @ Then said Ozias unto her, O daughter, blessed art thou of the most high God above all the women upon the earth; and blessed be the Lord God, which hath created the heavens and the earth, which hath directed thee to the cutting off of the head of the chief of our enemies.

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

bes@Jdt:13:20 @ And God turn these things to thee for a perpetual praise, to visit thee in good things because thou hast not spared thy life for the affliction of our nation, but hast revenged our ruin, walking a straight way before our God. And all the people said; So be it, so be it.

bes@Jdt:14:1 @ Then said Judith unto them, Hear me now, my brethren, and take this head, and hang it upon the highest place of your walls.

bes@Jdt:14:2 @ And so soon as the morning shall appear, and the sun shall come forth upon the earth, take ye every one his weapons, and go forth every valiant man out of the city, and set ye a captain over them, as though ye would go down into the field toward the watch of the Assyrians; but go not down.

bes@Jdt:14:3 @ Then they shall take their armour, and shall go into their camp, and raise up the captains of the army of Assur, and shall run to the tent of Holofernes, but shall not find him: then fear shall fall upon them, and they shall flee before your face.

bes@Jdt:14:4 @ So ye, and all that inhabit the coast of Israel, shall pursue them, and overthrow them as they go.

bes@Jdt:14:5 @ But before ye do these things, call me Achior the Ammonite, that he may see and know him that despised the house of Israel, and that sent him to us as it were to his death.

bes@Jdt:14:6 @ Then they called Achior out of the house of Ozias; and when he was come, and saw the head of Holofernes in a man’s hand in the assembly of the people, he fell down on his face, and his spirit failed.

bes@Jdt:14:7 @ But when they had recovered him, he fell at Judith’s feet, and reverenced her, and said, Blessed art thou in all the tabernacles of Juda, and in all nations, which hearing thy name shall be astonished.

bes@Jdt:14:8 @ Now therefore tell me all the things that thou hast done in these days. Then Judith declared unto him in the midst of the people all that she had done, from the day that she went forth until that hour she spake unto them.

bes@Jdt:14:10 @ And when Achior had seen all that the God of Israel had done, he believed in God greatly, and circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, and was joined unto the house of Israel unto this day.

bes@Jdt: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.

bes@Jdt:14:13 @ So they came to Holofernes’ tent, and said to him that had the charge of all his things, Waken now our lord: for the slaves have been bold to come down against us to battle, that they may be utterly destroyed.

bes@Jdt:15:2 @ And fear and trembling fell upon them, so that there was no man that durst abide in the sight of his neighbour, but rushing out all together, they fled into every way of the plain, and of the hill country.

bes@Jdt:15:4 @ Then sent Ozias to Betomasthem, and to Bebai, and Chobai, and Cola and to all the coasts of Israel, such as should tell the things that were done, and that all should rush forth upon their enemies to destroy them.

bes@Jdt:15:5 @ Now when the children of Israel heard it, they all fell upon them with one consent, and slew them unto Chobai: likewise also they that came from Jerusalem, and from all the hill country, (for men had told them what things were done in the camp of their enemies) and they that were in Galaad, and in Galilee, chased them with a great slaughter, until they were past Damascus and the borders thereof.

bes@Jdt:15:10 @ Thou hast done all these things by thine hand: thou hast done much good to Israel, and God is pleased therewith: blessed be thou of the Almighty Lord for evermore. And all the people said, So be it.

bes@Jdt:15:11 @ And the people spoiled the camp the space of thirty days: and they gave unto Judith Holofernes his tent, and all his plate, and beds, and vessels, and all his stuff: and she took it and laid it on her mule; and made ready her carts, and laid them thereon.

bes@Jdt:15:12 @ Then all the women of Israel ran together to see her, and blessed her, and made a dance among them for her: and she took branches in her hand, and gave also to the women that were with her.

bes@Jdt:15:13 @ And they put a garland of olive upon her and her maid that was with her, and she went before all the people in the dance, leading all the women: and all the men of Israel followed in their armour with garlands, and with songs in their mouths.

bes@Jdt:16:1 @ Then Judith began to sing this thanksgiving in all Israel, and all the people sang after her this song of praise.

bes@Jdt:16:2 @ And Judith said, Begin unto my God with timbrels, sing unto my Lord with cymbals: tune unto him a new psalm: exalt him, and call upon his name.

bes@Jdt:16:7 @ For the mighty one did not fall by the young men, neither did the sons of the Titans smite him, nor high giants set upon him: but Judith the daughter of Merari weakened him with the beauty of her countenance.

bes@Jdt:16:14 @ Let all creatures serve thee: for thou spakest, and they were made, thou didst send forth thy spirit, and it created them, and there is none that can resist thy voice.

bes@Jdt:16:15 @ For the mountains shall be moved from their foundations with the waters, the rocks shall melt as wax at thy presence: yet thou art merciful to them that fear thee.

bes@Jdt:16:16 @ For all sacrifice is too little for a sweet savour unto thee, and all the fat is not sufficient for thy burnt offering: but he that feareth the Lord is great at all times.

bes@Jdt:16:17 @ Woe to the nations that rise up against my kindred! the Lord Almighty will take vengeance of them in the day of judgement, in putting fire and worms in their flesh; and they shall feel them, and weep for ever.

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

bes@Jdt:16:21 @ After this time every one returned to his own inheritance, and Judith went to Bethulia, and remained in her own possession, and was in her time honourable in all the country.

bes@Jdt:16:22 @ And many desired her, but none knew her all the days of her life, after that Manasses her husband was dead, and was gathered to his people.

bes@Jdt:16:24 @ And the house of Israel lamented her seven days: and before she died, she did distribute her goods to all them that were nearest of kindred to Manasses her husband, and to them that were the nearest of her kindred.

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

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

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

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

bes@Wis:1:10 @ For the ear of jealousy heareth all things: and the noise of murmurings is not hid.

bes@Wis:1:11 @ Therefore beware of murmuring, which is unprofitable; and refrain your tongue from backbiting: for there is no word so secret, that shall go for nought: and the mouth that belieth slayeth the soul.

bes@Wis: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:

bes@Wis:1:16 @ But ungodly men with their works and words called it to them: for when they thought to have it their friend, they consumed to nought, and made a covenant with it, because they are worthy to take part with it.

bes@Wis: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:

bes@Wis:2:3 @ Which being extinguished, our body shall be turned into ashes, and our spirit shall vanish as the soft air,

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

bes@Wis:2:13 @ He professeth to have the knowledge of God: and he calleth himself the child of the Lord.

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

bes@Wis:2:20 @ Let us condemn him with a shameful death: for by his own saying he shall be respected.

bes@Wis:3:1 @ But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them.

bes@Wis:3:5 @ And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for himself.

bes@Wis:3:7 @ And in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks among the stubble.

bes@Wis:3:8 @ They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.

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

bes@Wis:3:10 @ But the ungodly shall be punished according to their own imaginations, which have neglected the righteous, and forsaken the Lord.

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

bes@Wis:3:14 @ And blessed is the eunuch, which with his hands hath wrought no iniquity, nor imagined wicked things against God: for unto him shall be given the special gift of faith, and an inheritance in the temple of the Lord more acceptable to his mind.

bes@Wis:3:15 @ For glorious is the fruit of good labours: and the root of wisdom shall never fall away.

bes@Wis:3:16 @ As for the children of adulterers, they shall not come to their perfection, and the seed of an unrighteous bed shall be rooted out.

bes@Wis:3:17 @ For though they live long, yet shall they be nothing regarded: and their last age shall be without honour.

bes@Wis:4:3 @ But the multiplying brood of the ungodly shall not thrive, nor take deep rooting from bastard slips, nor lay any fast foundation.

bes@Wis:4:4 @ For though they flourish in branches for a time; yet standing not last, they shall be shaken with the wind, and through the force of winds they shall be rooted out.

bes@Wis:4:5 @ The imperfect branches shall be broken off, their fruit unprofitable, not ripe to eat, yea, meet for nothing.

bes@Wis:4:7 @ But though the righteous be prevented with death, yet shall he be in rest.

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

bes@Wis:4:17 @ For they shall see the end of the wise, and shall not understand what God in his counsel hath decreed of him, and to what end the Lord hath set him in safety.

bes@Wis:4:18 @ They shall see him, and despise him; but God shall laugh them to scorn: and they shall hereafter be a vile carcase, and a reproach among the dead for evermore.

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

bes@Wis:4:20 @ And when they cast up the accounts of their sins, they shall come with fear: and their own iniquities shall convince them to their face.

bes@Wis:5:1 @ Then shall the righteous man stand in great boldness before the face of such as have afflicted him, and made no account of his labours.

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

bes@Wis: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:

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

bes@Wis:5:16 @ Therefore shall they receive a glorious kingdom, and a beautiful crown from the Lord’s hand: for with his right hand shall he cover them, and with his arm shall he protect them.

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

bes@Wis:5:18 @ He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate, and true judgement instead of an helmet.

bes@Wis:5:19 @ He shall take holiness for an invincible shield.

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

bes@Wis: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.

bes@Wis:5:22 @ And hailstones full of wrath shall be cast as out of a stone bow, and the water of the sea shall rage against them, and the floods shall cruelly drown them.

bes@Wis:5:23 @ Yea, a mighty wind shall stand up against them, and like a storm shall blow them away: thus iniquity shall lay waste the whole earth, and ill dealing shall overthrow the thrones of the mighty.

bes@Wis: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.

bes@Wis:6:5 @ Horribly and speedily shall he come upon you: for a sharp judgement shall be to them that be in high places.

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

bes@Wis: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.

bes@Wis:6:8 @ But a sore trial shall come upon the mighty.

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

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

bes@Wis:6:11 @ Wherefore set your affection upon my words; desire them, and ye shall be instructed.

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

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

bes@Wis:6:23 @ Neither will I go with consuming envy; for such a man shall have no fellowship with wisdom.

bes@Wis:6:25 @ Receive therefore instruction through my words, and it shall do you good.

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

bes@Wis:7:3 @ And when I was born, I drew in the common air, and fell upon the earth, which is of like nature, and the first voice which I uttered was crying, as all others do.

bes@Wis:7:6 @ For all men have one entrance into life, and the like going out.

bes@Wis:7:7 @ Wherefore I prayed, and understanding was given me: I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.

bes@Wis:7:9 @ Neither compared I unto her any precious stone, because all gold in respect of her is as a little sand, and silver shall be counted as clay before her.

bes@Wis:7:11 @ All good things together came to me with her, and innumerable riches in her hands.

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

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

bes@Wis:7:16 @ For in his hand are both we and our words; all wisdom also, and knowledge of workmanship.

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

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

bes@Wis:7:23 @ Kind to man, steadfast, sure, free from care, having all power, overseeing all things, and going through all understanding, pure, and most subtil, spirits.

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

bes@Wis:7:25 @ For she is the breath of the power of God, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty: therefore can no defiled thing fall into her.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bes@Wis:8:10 @ For her sake I shall have estimation among the multitude, and honour with the elders, though I be young.

bes@Wis:8:11 @ I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgement, and shall be admired in the sight of great men.

bes@Wis:8:12 @ When I hold my tongue, they shall bide my leisure, and when I speak, they shall give good ear unto me: if I talk much, they shall lay their hands upon their mouth.

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

bes@Wis:8:14 @ I shall set the people in order, and the nations shall be subject unto me.

bes@Wis:8:15 @ Horrible tyrants shall be afraid, when they do but hear of me; I shall be found good among the multitude, and valiant in war.

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

bes@Wis:9:1 @ O God of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with thy word,

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

bes@Wis:9:11 @ For she knoweth and understandeth all things, and she shall lead me soberly in my doings, and preserve me in her power.

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

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

bes@Wis:10:2 @ And gave him power to rule all things.

bes@Wis:10:4 @ For whose cause the earth being drowned with the flood, wisdom again preserved it, and directed the course of the righteous in a piece of wood of small value.

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

bes@Wis: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.

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

bes@Wis: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.

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

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

bes@Wis:11:23 @ But thou hast mercy upon all; for thou canst do all things, and winkest at the sins of men, because they should amend.

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

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

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

bes@Wis:12:1 @ For thine incorruptible Spirit is in all things.

bes@Wis:12:7 @ That the land, which thou esteemedst above all other, might receive a worthy colony of God’s children.

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

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

bes@Wis:12:14 @ Neither shall king or tyrant be able to set his face against thee for any whom thou hast punished.

bes@Wis: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.

bes@Wis: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.

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

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

bes@Wis:13:10 @ But miserable are they, and in dead things is their hope, who call them gods, which are the works of men’s hands, gold and silver, to shew art in, and resemblances of beasts, or a stone good for nothing, the work of an ancient hand.

bes@Wis:13:11 @ Now a carpenter that felleth timber, after he hath sawn down a tree meet for the purpose, and taken off all the bark skilfully round about, and hath wrought it handsomely, and made a vessel thereof fit for the service of man’s life;

bes@Wis:13:15 @ And when he had made a convenient room for it, set it in a wall, and made it fast with iron:

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

bes@Wis: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:

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

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

bes@Wis: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.

bes@Wis: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.

bes@Wis: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.

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

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

bes@Wis:14:13 @ For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall they be for ever.

bes@Wis:14:14 @ For by the vain glory of men they entered into the world, and therefore shall they come shortly to an end.

bes@Wis:14:19 @ For he, peradventure willing to please one in authority, forced all his skill to make the resemblance of the best fashion.

bes@Wis:14:20 @ And so the multitude, allured by the grace of the work, took him now for a god, which a little before was but honoured.

bes@Wis:14:22 @ Moreover this was not enough for them, that they erred in the knowledge of God; but whereas they lived in the great war of ignorance, those so great plagues called they peace.

bes@Wis:14:25 @ So that there reigned in all men without exception blood, manslaughter, theft, and dissimulation, corruption, unfaithfulness, tumults, perjury,

bes@Wis:14:27 @ For the worshipping of idols not to be named is the beginning, the cause, and the end, of all evil.

bes@Wis: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.

bes@Wis:15:1 @ But thou, O God, art gracious and true, longsuffering, and in mercy ordering all things,

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

bes@Wis:15:8 @ And employing his labours lewdly, he maketh a vain god of the same clay, even he which a little before was made of earth himself, and within a little while after returneth to the same, out when his life which was lent him shall be demanded.

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

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

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

bes@Wis:15:15 @ For they counted all the idols of the heathen to be gods: which neither have the use of eyes to see, nor noses to draw breath, nor ears to hear, nor fingers of hands to handle; and as for their feet, they are slow to go.

bes@Wis: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.

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

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

bes@Wis: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.

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

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

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

bes@Wis:16:29 @ For the hope of the unthankful shall melt away as the winter’s hoar frost, and shall run away as unprofitable water.

bes@Wis:17:4 @ For neither might the corner that held them keep them from fear: but noises as of waters falling down sounded about them, and sad visions appeared unto them with heavy countenances.

bes@Wis: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.

bes@Wis: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,

bes@Wis:18:8 @ For wherewith thou didst punish our adversaries, by the same thou didst glorify us, whom thou hadst called.

bes@Wis: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.

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

bes@Wis:18:16 @ And brought thine unfeigned commandment as a sharp sword, and standing up filled all things with death; and it touched the heaven, but it stood upon the earth.

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

bes@Wis: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.

bes@Wis:19:8 @ Where through all the people went that were defended with thy hand, seeing thy marvellous strange wonders.

bes@Wis:19:15 @ And not only so, but peradventure some respect shall be had of those, because they used strangers not friendly:

bes@Wis:19:22 @ For in all things, O Lord, thou didst magnify thy people, and glorify them, neither didst thou lightly regard them: but didst assist them in every time and place.

bes@Tob:1:2 @ Who in the time of Enemessar king of the Assyrians was led captive out of Thisbe, which is at the right hand of that city, which is called properly Nephthali in Galilee above Aser.

bes@Tob:1:3 @ I Tobit have walked all the days of my life in the ways of truth and justice, and I did many almsdeeds to my brethren, and my nation, who came with me to Nineve, into the land of the Assyrians.

bes@Tob:1:4 @ And when I was in mine own country, in the land of Israel being but young, all the tribe of Nephthali my father fell from the house of Jerusalem, which was chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, that all the tribes should sacrifice there, where the temple of the habitation of the most High was consecrated and built for all ages.

bes@Tob:1:5 @ Now all the tribes which together revolted, and the house of my father Nephthali, sacrificed unto the heifer Baal.

bes@Tob: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.

bes@Tob: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:

bes@Tob: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.

bes@Tob:1:12 @ Because I remembered God with all my heart.

bes@Tob:1:17 @ And my clothes to the naked: and if I saw any of my nation dead, or cast about the walls of Nineve, I buried him.

bes@Tob: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.

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

bes@Tob:2:6 @ Remembering that prophecy of Amos, as he said, Your feasts shall be turned into mourning, and all your mirth into lamentation.

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

bes@Tob: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.

bes@Tob:2:14 @ But she replied upon me, It was given for a gift more than the wages. Howbeit I did not believe her, but bade her render it to the owners: and I was abashed at her. But she replied upon me, Where are thine alms and thy righteous deeds? behold, thou and all thy works are known.

bes@Tob:3:2 @ O Lord, thou art just, and all thy works and all thy ways are mercy and truth, and thou judgest truly and justly for ever.

bes@Tob: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.

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

bes@Tob:3:11 @ Then she prayed toward the window, and said, Blessed art thou, O Lord my God, and thine holy and glorious name is blessed and honourable for ever: let all thy works praise thee for ever.

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

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

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

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

bes@Tob:4:6 @ For if thou deal truly, thy doings shall prosperously succeed to thee, and to all them that live justly.

bes@Tob:4:7 @ Give alms of thy substance; and when thou givest alms, let not thine eye be envious, neither turn thy face from any poor, and the face of God shall not be turned away from thee.

bes@Tob:4:11 @ For alms is a good gift unto all that give it in the sight of the most High.

bes@Tob: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.

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

bes@Tob:4:18 @ Ask counsel of all that are wise, and despise not any counsel that is profitable.

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

bes@Tob: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.

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

bes@Tob: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.

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

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

bes@Tob: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.

bes@Tob:5:20 @ Then said Tobit to her, Take no care, my sister; he shall return in safety, and thine eyes shall see him.

bes@Tob:5:21 @ For the good angel will keep him company, and his journey shall be prosperous, and he shall return safe.

bes@Tob:6:4 @ To whom the angel said, Open the fish, and take the heart and the liver and the gall, and put them up safely.

bes@Tob: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.

bes@Tob:6:8 @ As for the gall, it is good to anoint a man that hath whiteness in his eyes, and he shall be healed.

bes@Tob: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.

bes@Tob: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.

bes@Tob: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.

bes@Tob:6:15 @ Then the angel said unto him, Dost thou not remember the precepts which thy father gave thee, that thou shouldest marry a wife of thine own kindred? wherefore hear me, O my brother; for she shall be given thee to wife; and make thou no reckoning of the evil spirit; for this same night shall she be given thee in marriage.

bes@Tob:6:17 @ And the devil shall smell it, and flee away, and never come again any more: but when thou shalt come to her, rise up both of you, and pray to God which is merciful, who will have pity on you, and save you: fear not, for she is appointed unto thee from the beginning; and thou shalt preserve her, and she shall go with thee. Moreover I suppose that she shall bear thee children. Now when Tobias had heard these things, he loved her, and his heart was effectually joined to her.

bes@Tob:7:12 @ Raguel said, Then take her from henceforth according to the manner, for thou art her cousin, and she is thine, and the merciful God give you good success in all things.

bes@Tob:7:13 @ Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife to Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and lead her away to thy father. And he blessed them;

bes@Tob:7:14 @ And called Edna his wife, and took paper, and did write an instrument of covenants, and sealed it.

bes@Tob:7:16 @ After Raguel called his wife Edna, and said unto her, Sister, prepare another chamber, and bring her in thither.

bes@Tob:8:5 @ Then began Tobias to say, Blessed art thou, O God of our fathers, and blessed is thy holy and glorious name for ever; let the heavens bless thee, and all thy creatures.

bes@Tob:8:15 @ Then Raguel praised God, and said, O God, thou art worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise; therefore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures; and let all thine angels and thine elect praise thee for ever.

bes@Tob:9:1 @ Then Tobias called Raphael, and said unto him,

bes@Tob:9:3 @ For Raguel hath sworn that I shall not depart.

bes@Tob:10:9 @ But his father in law said unto him, Tarry with me, and I will send to thy father, and they shall declare unto him how things go with thee.

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

bes@Tob:11:8 @ Therefore anoint thou his eyes with the gall, and being pricked therewith, he shall rub, and the whiteness shall fall away, and he shall see thee.

bes@Tob:11:11 @ And took hold of his father: and he strake of the gall on his fathers’ eyes, saying, Be of good hope, my father.

bes@Tob: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:

bes@Tob: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.

bes@Tob: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.

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

bes@Sir:48:15 @ For all this the people repented not, neither departed they from their sins, till they were spoiled and carried out of their land, and were scattered through all the earth: yet there remained a small people, and a ruler in the house of David:

bes@Sir:48:20 @ But they called upon the Lord which is merciful, and stretched out their hands toward him: and immediately the Holy One heard them out of heaven, and delivered them by the ministry of Esay.

bes@Sir:49:1 @ The remembrance of Josias is like the composition of the perfume that is made by the art of the apothecary: it is sweet as honey in all mouths, and as musick at a banquet of wine.

bes@Sir:49:4 @ All, except David and Ezekias and Josias, were defective: for they forsook the law of the most High, even the kings of Juda failed.

bes@Sir:49:11 @ How shall we magnify Zorobabel? even he was as a signet on the right hand:

bes@Sir:49:13 @ And among the elect was Neemias, whose renown is great, who raised up for us the walls that were fallen, and set up the gates and the bars, and raised up our ruins again.

bes@Sir:50:2 @ And by him was built from the foundation the double height, the high fortress of the wall about the temple:

bes@Sir:50:4 @ He took care of the temple that it should not fall, and fortified the city against besieging:

bes@Sir:50:9 @ As fire and incense in the censer, and as a vessel of beaten gold set with all manner of precious stones:

bes@Sir:50:13 @ So were all the sons of Aaron in their glory, and the oblations of the Lord in their hands, before all the congregation of Israel.

bes@Sir:50:15 @ He stretched out his hand to the cup, and poured of the blood of the grape, he poured out at the foot of the altar a sweetsmelling savour unto the most high King of all.

bes@Sir:50:17 @ Then all the people together hasted, and fell down to the earth upon their faces to worship their Lord God Almighty, the most High.

bes@Sir:50:22 @ Now therefore bless ye the God of all, which only doeth wondrous things every where, which exalteth our days from the womb, and dealeth with us according to his mercy.

bes@Sir:50:28 @ Blessed is he that shall be exercised in these things; and he that layeth them up in his heart shall become wise.

bes@Sir:50:29 @ For if he do them, he shall be strong to all things: for the light of the Lord leadeth him, who giveth wisdom to the godly. Blessed be the name of the Lord for ever. Amen, Amen.

bes@Sir:51:10 @ I called upon the Lord, the Father of my Lord, that he would not leave me in the days of my trouble, and in the time of the proud, when there was no help.

bes@Sir:51:11 @ I will praise thy name continually, and will sing praises with thanksgiving; and so my prayer was heard:

bes@Sir:51:18 @ For I purposed to do after her, and earnestly I followed that which is good; so shall I not be confounded.

bes@Sir:51:20 @ I directed my soul unto her, and I found her in pureness: I have had my heart joined with her from the beginning, therefore shall I not be forsaken.

bes@Bar:1:3 @ And Baruch did read the words of this book in the hearing of Jechonias the son of Joachim king of Juda, and in the ears of all the people that came to hear the book,

bes@Bar:1:4 @ And in the hearing of the nobles, and of the king’s sons, and in the hearing of the elders, and of all the people, from the lowest unto the highest, even of all them that dwelt at Babylon by the river Sud.

bes@Bar:1:7 @ And they sent it to Jerusalem unto Joachim the high priest, the son of Chelcias, son of Salom, and to the priests, and to all the people which were found with him at Jerusalem,

bes@Bar:1:12 @ And the Lord will give us strength, and lighten our eyes, and we shall live under the shadow of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and under the shadow of Balthasar his son, and we shall serve them many days, and find favour in their sight.

bes@Bar:1:14 @ And ye shall read this book which we have sent unto you, to make confession in the house of the Lord, upon the feasts and solemn days.

bes@Bar:1:15 @ And ye shall say, To the Lord our God belongeth righteousness, but unto us the confusion of faces, as it is come to pass this day, unto them of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

bes@Bar:1:21 @ Nevertheless we have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God, according unto all the words of the prophets, whom he sent unto us:

bes@Bar:2:4 @ Moreover he hath delivered them to be in subjection to all the kingdoms that are round about us, to be as a reproach and desolation among all the people round about, where the Lord hath scattered them.

bes@Bar:2:7 @ For all these plagues are come upon us, which the Lord hath pronounced against us

bes@Bar:2:9 @ Wherefore the Lord watched over us for evil, and the Lord hath brought it upon us: for the Lord is righteous in all his works which he hath commanded us.

bes@Bar:2:12 @ O Lord our God, we have sinned, we have done ungodly, we have dealt unrighteously in all thine ordinances.

bes@Bar:2:15 @ That all the earth may know that thou art the Lord our God, because Israel and his posterity is called by thy name.

bes@Bar:2:21 @ Thus saith the Lord, Bow down your shoulders to serve the king of Babylon: so shall ye remain in the land that I gave unto your fathers.

bes@Bar:2:23 @ I will cause to cease out of the cites of Judah, and from without Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: and the whole land shall be desolate of inhabitants.

bes@Bar:2:26 @ And the house which is called by thy name hast thou laid waste, as it is to be seen this day, for the wickedness of the house of Israel and the house of Juda.

bes@Bar:2:27 @ O Lord our God, thou hast dealt with us after all thy goodness, and according to all that great mercy of thine,

bes@Bar:2:29 @ If ye will not hear my voice, surely this very great multitude shall be turned into a small number among the nations, where I will scatter them.

bes@Bar:2:30 @ For I knew that they would not hear me, because it is a stiffnecked people: but in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves.

bes@Bar:2:31 @ And shall know that I am the Lord their God: for I will give them an heart, and ears to hear:

bes@Bar:2:32 @ And they shall praise me in the land of their captivity, and think upon my name,

bes@Bar:2:33 @ And return from their stiff neck, and from their wicked deeds: for they shall remember the way of their fathers, which sinned before the Lord.

bes@Bar:2:34 @ And I will bring them again into the land which I promised with an oath unto their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and they shall be lords of it: and I will increase them, and they shall not be diminished.

bes@Bar:2:35 @ And I will make an everlasting covenant with them to be their God, and they shall be my people: and I will no more drive my people of Israel out of the land that I have given them.

bes@Bar:3:7 @ And for this cause thou hast put thy fear in our hearts, to the intent that we should call upon thy name, and praise thee in our captivity: for we have called to mind all the iniquity of our forefathers, that sinned before thee.

bes@Bar:3:8 @ Behold, we are yet this day in our captivity, where thou hast scattered us, for a reproach and a curse, and to be subject to payments, according to all the iniquities of our fathers, which departed from the Lord our God.

bes@Bar:3:32 @ But he that knoweth all things knoweth her, and hath found her out with his understanding: he that prepared the earth for evermore hath filled it with fourfooted beasts:

bes@Bar:3:33 @ He that sendeth forth light, and it goeth, calleth it again, and it obeyeth him with fear.

bes@Bar:3:34 @ The stars shined in their watches, and rejoiced: when he calleth them, they say, Here we be; and so with cheerfulness they shewed light unto him that made them.

bes@Bar:3:35 @ This is our God, and there shall none other be accounted of in comparison of him

bes@Bar:3:36 @ He hath found out all the way of knowledge, and hath given it unto Jacob his servant, and to Israel his beloved.

bes@Bar:4:1 @ This is the book of the commandments of God, and the law that endureth for ever: all they that keep it shall come to life; but such as leave it shall die.

bes@Bar:4:22 @ For my hope is in the Everlasting, that he will save you; and joy is come unto me from the Holy One, because of the mercy which shall soon come unto you from the Everlasting our Saviour.

bes@Bar:4:24 @ Like as now the neighbours of Sion have seen your captivity: so shall they see shortly your salvation from our God which shall come upon you with great glory, and brightness of the Everlasting.

bes@Bar:4:27 @ Be of good comfort, O my children, and cry unto God: for ye shall be remembered of him that brought these things upon you.

bes@Bar:4:29 @ For he that hath brought these plagues upon you shall bring you everlasting joy with your salvation.

bes@Bar:4:31 @ Miserable are they that afflicted thee, and rejoiced at thy fall.

bes@Bar:4:33 @ For as she rejoiced at thy ruin, and was glad of thy fall: so shall she be grieved for her own desolation.

bes@Bar:4:34 @ For I will take away the rejoicing of her great multitude, and her pride shall be turned into mourning.

bes@Bar:4:35 @ For fire shall come upon her from the Everlasting, long to endure; and she shall be inhabited of devils for a great time.

bes@Bar:5:4 @ For thy name shall be called of God for ever The peace of righteousness, and The glory of God’s worship.

bes@Bar:5:7 @ For God hath appointed that every high hill, and banks of long continuance, should be cast down, and valleys filled up, to make even the ground, that Israel may go safely in the glory of God,

bes@Bar:5:8 @ Moreover even the woods and every sweetsmelling tree shall overshadow Israel by the commandment of God.

bes@Bar:5:9 @ For God shall lead Israel with joy in the light of his glory with the mercy and righteousness that cometh from him.

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

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

bes@Bar:6:4 @ Now shall ye see in Babylon gods of silver, and of gold, and of wood, borne upon shoulders, which cause the nations to fear.

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

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

bes@Bar:6:30 @ For how can they be called gods? because women set meat before the gods of silver, gold, and wood.

bes@Bar:6:39 @ Their gods of wood, and which are overlaid with gold and silver, are like the stones that be hewn out of the mountain: they that worship them shall be confounded.

bes@Bar:6:41 @ Who if they shall see one dumb that cannot speak, they bring him, and intreat Bel that he may speak, as though he were able to understand.

bes@Bar:6:50 @ For seeing they be but of wood, and overlaid with silver and gold, it shall be known hereafter that they are false:

bes@Bar:6:51 @ And it shall manifestly appear to all nations and kings that they are no gods, but the works of men’s hands, and that there is no work of God in them.

bes@Bar:6:55 @ Whereupon when fire falleth upon the house of gods of wood, or laid over with gold or silver, their priests will flee away, and escape; but they themselves shall be burned asunder like beams.

bes@Bar:6:59 @ Therefore it is better to be a king that sheweth his power, or else a profitable vessel in an house, which the owner shall have use of, than such false gods; or to be a door in an house, to keep such things therein, than such false gods. or a pillar of wood in a palace, than such false gods.

bes@Bar:6:72 @ And ye shall know them to be no gods by the bright purple that rotteth upon them: and they themselves afterward shall be eaten, and shall be a reproach in the country.

bes@Bar:6:73 @ Better therefore is the just man that hath none idols: for he shall be far from reproach.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:1:21 @ And entered proudly into the sanctuary, and took away the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all the vessels thereof,

bes@1Macc: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.

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

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

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

bes@1Macc:1:31 @ And when he had taken the spoils of the city, he set it on fire, and pulled down the houses and walls thereof on every side.

bes@1Macc: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.

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

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

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

bes@1Macc:1:49 @ To the end they might forget the law, and change all the ordinances.

bes@1Macc:1:51 @ In the selfsame manner wrote he to his whole kingdom, and appointed overseers over all the people, commanding the cities of Juda to sacrifice, city by city.

bes@1Macc:2:2 @ And he had five sons, Joannan, called Caddis:

bes@1Macc:2:3 @ Simon; called Thassi:

bes@1Macc:2:4 @ Judas, who was called Maccabeus:

bes@1Macc:2:5 @ Eleazar, called Avaran: and Jonathan, whose surname was Apphus.

bes@1Macc:2:11 @ All her ornaments are taken away; of a free woman she is become a bondslave.

bes@1Macc:2:13 @ To what end therefore shall we live any longer?

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

bes@1Macc: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:

bes@1Macc:2:23 @ Now when he had left speaking these words, there came one of the Jews in the sight of all to sacrifice on the altar which was at Modin, according to the king’s commandment.

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

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

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

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

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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 in the secret places.

bes@1Macc: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.

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

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

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

bes@1Macc:2:62 @ Fear not then the words of a sinful man: for his glory shall be dung and worms.

bes@1Macc:2:63 @ To day he shall be lifted up and to morrow he shall not be found, because he is returned into his dust, and his thought is come to nothing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bes@1Macc:3:12 @ Wherefore Judas took their spoils, and Apollonius’ sword also, and therewith he fought all his life long.

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

bes@1Macc: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?

bes@1Macc: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:

bes@1Macc:3:25 @ Then began the fear of Judas and his brethren, and an exceeding great dread, to fall upon the nations round about them:

bes@1Macc:3:26 @ Insomuch as his fame came unto the king, and all nations talked of the battles of Judas.

bes@1Macc:3:27 @ Now when king Antiochus heard these things, he was full of indignation: wherefore he sent and gathered together all the forces of his realm, even a very strong army.

bes@1Macc: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;

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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:

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

bes@1Macc:3:40 @ So they went forth with all their power, and came and pitched by Emmaus in the plain country.

bes@1Macc: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?

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

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

bes@1Macc: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.

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

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

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

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

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

bes@1Macc:4:51 @ Furthermore they set the loaves upon the table, and spread out the veils, and finished all the works which they had begun to make.

bes@1Macc: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,

bes@1Macc:4:55 @ Then all the people fell upon their faces, worshipping and praising the God of heaven, who had given them good success.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:5:15 @ And said, They of Ptolemais, and of Tyrus, and Sidon, and all Galilee of the Gentiles, are assembled together against us to consume us.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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:

bes@1Macc: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.

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

bes@1Macc:5:35 @ This done, Judas turned aside to Maspha; and after he had assaulted it he took and slew all the males therein, and received the spoils thereof and burnt it with fire.

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

bes@1Macc: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:

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

bes@1Macc:5:42 @ Now when Judas came near the brook, he caused the scribes of the people to remain by the brook: unto whom he gave commandment, saying, Suffer no man to remain in the camp, but let all come to the battle.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

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

bes@1Macc: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.

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

bes@1Macc: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;

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

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

bes@1Macc:6:10 @ Wherefore he called for all his friends, and said unto them, The sleep is gone from mine eyes, and my heart faileth for very care.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:6:14 @ Then called he for Philip, one of his friends, who he made ruler over all his realm,

bes@1Macc:6:17 @ Now when Lysias knew that the king was dead, he set up Antiochus his son, whom he had brought up being young, to reign in his stead, and his name he called Eupator.

bes@1Macc:6:19 @ Wherefore Judas, purposing to destroy them, called all the people together to besiege them.

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

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

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

bes@1Macc: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.

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

bes@1Macc: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:

bes@1Macc:6:58 @ Now therefore let us be friends with these men, and make peace with them, and with all their nation;

bes@1Macc: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.

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

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

bes@1Macc:7:5 @ There came unto him all the wicked and ungodly men of Israel, having Alcimus, who was desirous to be high priest, for their captain:

bes@1Macc:7:6 @ And they accused the people to the king, saying, Judas and his brethren have slain all thy friends, and driven us out of our own land.

bes@1Macc:7:7 @ Now therefore send some man whom thou trustest, and let him go and see what havock he hath made among us, and in the king’s land, and let him punish them with all them that aid them.

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

bes@1Macc: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.

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

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:7:37 @ Thou, O Lord, didst choose this house to be called by thy name, and to be a house of prayer and petition for thy people:

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

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:8:1 @ Now Judas had heard of the fame of 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;

bes@1Macc: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:

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

bes@1Macc: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:

bes@1Macc: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:

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

bes@1Macc: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 emulation among them.

bes@1Macc:8:24 @ If there come first any war upon the Romans or any of their confederates throughout all their dominion,

bes@1Macc:8:25 @ The people of the Jews shall help them, as the time shall be appointed, with all their heart:

bes@1Macc: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.

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

bes@1Macc: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.

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

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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,

bes@1Macc:9:20 @ Moreover they bewailed him, and all Israel made great lamentation for him, and mourned many days, saying,

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

bes@1Macc:9:23 @ Now after the death of Judas the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the coasts of Israel, and there arose up all such as wrought iniquity.

bes@1Macc:9:28 @ For this cause all Judas’ friends came together, and said unto Jonathan,

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:9:34 @ Which when Bacchides understood, he came near to Jordan with all his host upon the sabbath day.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

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

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

bes@1Macc: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.

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

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

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

bes@1Macc: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:

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

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

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:10:29 @ And now do I free you, and for your sake I release all the Jews, from tributes, and from the customs of salt, and from crown taxes,

bes@1Macc:10:30 @ And from that which appertaineth unto me to receive for the third part or the seed, and the half of the fruit of the trees, I release it from this day forth, so that they shall not be taken of the land of Judea, nor of the three governments which are added thereunto out of the country of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth for evermore.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

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

bes@1Macc:10:35 @ Also no man shall have authority to meddle with or to molest any of them in any matter.

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

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

bes@1Macc:10:41 @ And all the overplus, which the officers payed not in as in former time, from henceforth shall be given toward the works of the temple.

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

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

bes@1Macc:10:44 @ For the building also and repairing of the works of the sanctuary expenses shall be given of the king’s accounts.

bes@1Macc:10:45 @ Yea, and for the building of the walls of Jerusalem, and the fortifying thereof round about, expenses shall be given out of the king’s accounts, as also for the building of the walls in Judea.

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

bes@1Macc:10:72 @ Ask and learn who I am, and the rest that take our part, and they shall tell thee that thy foot is not able to stand before our face; for thy fathers have twice been put to flight in their own land.

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

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

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

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

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:11:36 @ And nothing hereof shall be revoked from this time forth for ever.

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

bes@1Macc: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,

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:11:43 @ Now therefore thou shalt do well, if thou send me men to help me; for all my forces are gone from me.

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

bes@1Macc: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.

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

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

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

bes@1Macc: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.

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

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

bes@1Macc:12:18 @ Wherefore now ye shall do well to give us an answer thereto.

bes@1Macc:12:22 @ Now therefore, since this is come to our knowledge, ye shall do well to write unto us of your prosperity.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bes@1Macc:12:48 @ Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of Ptolemais shut the gates and took him, and all them that came with him they slew with the sword.

bes@1Macc:12:49 @ Then sent Tryphon an host of footmen and horsemen into Galilee, and into the great plain, to destroy all Jonathan’s company.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

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

bes@1Macc:13:6 @ Doubtless I will avenge my nation, and the sanctuary, and our wives, and our children: for all the heathen are gathered to destroy us of very malice.

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

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

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

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

bes@1Macc: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.

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

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

bes@1Macc: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.

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

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

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

bes@1Macc: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 uncleanness, neither was there any that resisted him.

bes@1Macc:14:9 @ The ancient men sat all in the streets, communing together of good things, and the young men put on glorious and warlike apparel.

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

bes@1Macc: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.

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

bes@1Macc:14:34 @ Moreover he fortified Joppa, which lieth upon the sea, and Gazera, that bordereth upon Azotus, where the enemies had dwelt before: but he placed Jews there, and furnished them with all things convenient for the reparation thereof.)

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

bes@1Macc:14:36 @ For in his time things prospered in his hands, so that the heathen were taken out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David in Jerusalem, who had made themselves a tower, out of which they issued, and polluted all about the sanctuary, and did much hurt in the holy place:

bes@1Macc:14:37 @ But he placed Jews therein. and fortified it for the safety of the country and the city, and raised up the walls of Jerusalem.

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

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

bes@1Macc:14:46 @ Thus it liked all the people to deal with Simon, and to do as hath been said.

bes@1Macc:14:47 @ Then Simon accepted hereof, and was well pleased to be high priest, and captain and governor of the Jews and priests, and to defend them all.

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

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

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

bes@1Macc:15:7 @ And as concerning Jerusalem and the sanctuary, let them be free; and all the armour that thou hast made, and fortresses that thou hast built, and keepest in thine hands, let them remain unto thee.

bes@1Macc:15:8 @ And if anything be, or shall be, owing to the king, let it be forgiven thee from this time forth for evermore.

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

bes@1Macc: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.

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

bes@1Macc:15:23 @ And to all the countries and to Sampsames, and the Lacedemonians, and to Delus, and Myndus, and Sicyon, and Caria, and Samos, and Pamphylia, and Lycia, and Halicarnassus, and Rhodus, and Aradus, and Cos, and Side, and Aradus, and Gortyna, and Cnidus, and Cyprus, and Cyrene.

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

bes@1Macc:15:27 @ Nevertheless he would not receive them, but brake all the covenants which he had made with him afore, and became strange unto him.

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

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

bes@1Macc: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:

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

bes@1Macc:16:23 @ As concerning the rest of the acts of John, and his wars, and worthy deeds which he did, and the building of the walls which he made, and his doings,

bes@2Macc:1:3 @ And give you all an heart to serve him, and to do his will, with a good courage and a willing mind;

bes@2Macc:1:15 @ Which when the priests of Nanea had set forth, and he was entered with a small company into the compass of the temple, they shut the temple as soon as Antiochus was come in:

bes@2Macc:1:17 @ Blessed be our God in all things, who hath delivered up the ungodly.

bes@2Macc:1:19 @ For when our fathers were led into Persia, the priests that were then devout took the fire of the altar privily, and hid it in an hollow place of a pit without water, where they kept it sure, so that the place was unknown to all men.

bes@2Macc:1:23 @ And the priests made a prayer whilst the sacrifice was consuming, I say, both the priests, and all the rest, Jonathan beginning, and the rest answering thereunto, as Neemias did.

bes@2Macc:1:24 @ And the prayer was after this manner; O Lord, Lord God, Creator of all things, who art fearful and strong, and righteous, and merciful, and the only and gracious King,

bes@2Macc:1:25 @ The only giver of all things, the only just, almighty, and everlasting, thou that deliverest Israel from all trouble, and didst choose the fathers, and sanctify them:

bes@2Macc:1:36 @ And Neemias called this thing Naphthar, which is as much as to say, a cleansing: but many men call it Nephi.

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

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

bes@2Macc:2:14 @ In like manner also Judas gathered together all those things that were lost by reason of the war we had, and they remain with us,

bes@2Macc:2:16 @ Whereas we then are about to celebrate the purification, we have written unto you, and ye shall do well, if ye keep the same days.

bes@2Macc:2:17 @ We hope also, that the God, that delivered all his people, and gave them all an heritage, and the kingdom, and the priesthood, and the sanctuary,

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

bes@2Macc:2:23 @ All these things, I say, being declared by Jason of Cyrene in five books, we will assay to abridge in one volume.

bes@2Macc:2:25 @ We have been careful, that they that will read may have delight, and that they that are desirous to commit to memory might have ease, and that all into whose hands it comes might have profit.

bes@2Macc:3:1 @ Now when the holy city was inhabited with all peace, and the laws were kept very well, because of the godliness of Onias the high priest, and his hatred of wickedness,

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

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

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

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

bes@2Macc:3:14 @ So at the day which he appointed he entered in to order this matter: wherefore there was no small agony throughout the whole city.

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

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

bes@2Macc:3:20 @ And all, holding their hands toward heaven, made supplication.

bes@2Macc:3:21 @ Then it would have pitied a man to see the falling down of the multitude of all sorts, and the fear of the high priest being in such an agony.

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

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

bes@2Macc:3:26 @ Moreover two other young men appeared before him, notable in strength, excellent in beauty, and comely in apparel, who stood by him on either side; and scourged him continually, and gave him many sore stripes.

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

bes@2Macc:3:29 @ For he by the hand of God was cast down, and lay speechless without all hope of life.

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

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

bes@2Macc:3:36 @ Then testified he to all men the works of the great God, which he had seen with his eyes.

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

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

bes@2Macc:4:7 @ But after the death of Seleucus, when Antiochus, called Epiphanes, took the kingdom, Jason the brother of Onias laboured underhand to be high priest,

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

bes@2Macc:4:15 @ Not setting by the honours of their fathers, but liking the glory of the Grecians best of all.

bes@2Macc:4:16 @ By reason whereof sore calamity came upon them: for they had them to be their enemies and avengers, whose custom they followed so earnestly, and unto whom they desired to be like in all things.

bes@2Macc:4:17 @ For it is not a light thing to do wickedly against the laws of God: but the time following shall declare these things.

bes@2Macc:4:20 @ This money then, in regard of the sender, was appointed to Hercules’ sacrifice; but because of the bearers thereof, it was employed to the making of gallies.

bes@2Macc:4:28 @ For unto him appertained the gathering of the customs. Wherefore they were both called before the king.

bes@2Macc:4:30 @ While those things were in doing, they of Tarsus and Mallos made insurrection, because they were given to the king’s concubine, called Antiochus.

bes@2Macc:4:31 @ Then came the king in all haste to appease matters, leaving Andronicus, a man in authority, for his deputy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bes@2Macc:5:7 @ Howbeit for all this he obtained not the principality, but at the last received shame for the reward of his treason, and fled again into the country of the Ammonites.

bes@2Macc:5:8 @ In the end therefore he had an unhappy return, being accused before Aretas the king of the Arabians, fleeing from city to city, pursued of all men, hated as a forsaker of the laws, and being had in abomination as an open enemy of his country and countrymen, he was cast out into Egypt.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bes@2Macc:5:27 @ But Judas Maccabeus with nine others, or thereabout, withdrew himself into the wilderness, and lived in the mountains after the manner of beasts, with his company, who fed on herbs continually, lest they should be partakers of the pollution.

bes@2Macc:6:2 @ And to pollute also the temple in Jerusalem, and to call it the temple of Jupiter Olympius; and that in Garizim, of Jupiter the Defender of strangers, as they did desire that dwelt in the place.

bes@2Macc:6:4 @ For the temple was filled with riot and revelling by the Gentiles, who dallied with harlots, and had to do with women within the circuit of the holy places, and besides that brought in things that were not lawful.

bes@2Macc:6:6 @ Neither was it lawful for a man to keep sabbath days or ancient fasts, or to profess himself at all to be a Jew.

bes@2Macc:6:10 @ For there were two women brought, who had circumcised their children; whom when they had openly led round about the city, the babes handing at their breasts, they cast them down headlong from the wall.

bes@2Macc:6:11 @ And others, that had run together into caves near by, to keep the sabbath day secretly, being discovered by Philip, were all burnt together, because they made a conscience to help themselves for the honour of the most sacred day.

bes@2Macc:6:31 @ And thus this man died, leaving his death for an example of a noble courage, and a memorial of virtue, not only unto young men, but unto all his nation.

bes@2Macc:7:5 @ Now when he was thus maimed in all his members, he commanded him being yet alive to be brought to the fire, and to be fried in the pan: and as the vapour of the pan was for a good space dispersed, they exhorted one another with the mother to die manfully, saying thus,

bes@2Macc:7:6 @ The Lord God looketh upon us, and in truth hath comfort in us, as Moses in his song, which witnessed to their faces, declared, saying, And he shall be comforted in his servants.

bes@2Macc:7:9 @ And when he was at the last gasp, he said, Thou like a fury takest us out of this present life, but the King of the world shall raise us up, who have died for his laws, unto everlasting life.

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

bes@2Macc:7:23 @ But doubtless the Creator of the world, who formed the generation of man, and found out the beginning of all things, will also of his own mercy give you breath and life again, as ye now regard not your own selves for his laws’ sake.

bes@2Macc:7:25 @ But when the young man would in no case hearken unto him, the king called his mother, and exhorted her that she would counsel the young man to save his life.

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

bes@2Macc:7:31 @ And thou, that hast been the author of all mischief against the Hebrews, shalt not escape the hands of God.

bes@2Macc:7:33 @ And though the living Lord be angry with us a little while for our chastening and correction, yet shall he be at one again with his servants.

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

bes@2Macc:7:35 @ For thou hast not yet escaped the judgement of Almighty God, who seeth all things.

bes@2Macc:7:39 @ Than the king’ being in a rage, handed him worse than all the rest, and took it grievously that he was mocked.

bes@2Macc:7:41 @ Last of all after the sons the mother died.

bes@2Macc:8:1 @ Then Judas Maccabeus, and they that were with him, went privily into the towns, and called their kinsfolks together, and took unto them all such as continued in the Jews’ religion, and assembled about six thousand men.

bes@2Macc:8:2 @ And they called upon the Lord, that he would look upon the people that was trodden down of all; and also pity the temple profaned of ungodly men;

bes@2Macc:8:6 @ Therefore he came at unawares, and burnt up towns and cities, and got into his hands the most commodious places, and overcame and put to flight no small number of his enemies.

bes@2Macc:8:7 @ But specially took he advantage of the night for such privy attempts, insomuch that the fruit of his holiness was spread every where.

bes@2Macc:8:9 @ Then forthwith choosing Nicanor the son of Patroclus, one of his special friends, he sent him with no fewer than twenty thousand of all nations under him, to root out the whole generation of the Jews; and with him he joined also Gorgias a captain, who in matters of war had great experience.

bes@2Macc:8:14 @ Others sold all that they had left, and withal besought the Lord to deliver them, sold by the wicked Nicanor before they met together:

bes@2Macc:8:15 @ And if not for their own sakes, yet for the covenants he had made with their fathers, and for his holy and glorious name’s sake, by which they were called.

bes@2Macc:8:16 @ So Maccabeus called his men together unto the number of six thousand, and exhorted them not to be stricken with terror of the enemy, nor to fear the great multitude of the heathen, who came wrongly against them; but to fight manfully,

bes@2Macc:8:18 @ For they, said he, trust in their weapons and boldness; but our confidence is in the Almighty who at a beck can cast down both them that come against us, and also all the world.

bes@2Macc:8:20 @ And he told them of the battle that they had in Babylon with the Galatians, how they came but eight thousand in all to the business, with four thousand Macedonians, and that the Macedonians being perplexed, the eight thousand destroyed an hundred and twenty thousand because of the help that they had from heaven, and so received a great booty.

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

bes@2Macc:8:31 @ And when they had gathered their armour together, they laid them up all carefully in convenient places, and the remnant of the spoils they brought to Jerusalem.

bes@2Macc:8:33 @ Furthermore at such time as they kept the feast for the victory in their country they burnt Callisthenes, that had set fire upon the holy gates, who had fled into a little house; and so he received a reward meet for his wickedness.

bes@2Macc:9:2 @ For he had entered the city called Persepolis, and went about to rob the temple, and to hold the city; whereupon the multitude running to defend themselves with their weapons put them to flight; and so it happened, that Antiochus being put to flight of the inhabitants returned with shame.

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

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:9:9 @ So that the worms rose up out of the body of this wicked man, and whiles he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell away, and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to all his army.

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

bes@2Macc:9:16 @ And the holy temple, which before he had spoiled, he would garnish with goodly gifts, and restore all the holy vessels with many more, and out of his own revenue defray the charges belonging to the sacrifices:

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:9:18 @ But for all this his pains would not cease: for the just judgement of God was come upon him: therefore despairing of his health, he wrote unto the Jews the letter underwritten, containing the form of a supplication, after this manner:

bes@2Macc: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:

bes@2Macc: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:

bes@2Macc:9:26 @ Therefore I pray and request you to remember the benefits that I have done unto you generally, and in special, and that every man will be still faithful to me and my son.

bes@2Macc:10:9 @ And this was the end of Antiochus, called Epiphanes.

bes@2Macc:10:12 @ For Ptolemeus, that was called Macron, choosing rather to do justice unto the Jews for the wrong that had been done unto them, endeavoured to continue peace with them.

bes@2Macc:10:13 @ Whereupon being accused of the king’s friends before Eupator, and called traitor at every word because he had left Cyprus, that Philometor had committed unto him, and departed to Antiochus Epiphanes, and seeing that he was in no honourable place, he was so discouraged, that he poisoned himself and died.

bes@2Macc:10:14 @ But when Gorgias was governor of the holds, he hired soldiers, and nourished war continually with the Jews:

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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,

bes@2Macc:10:21 @ But when it was told Maccabeus what was done, he called the governors of the people together, and accused those men, that they had sold their brethren for money, and set their enemies free to fight against them.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:10:32 @ As for Timotheus himself, he fled into a very strong hold, called Gazara, where Chereas was governor.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:11:2 @ And when he had gathered about fourscore thousand with all the horsemen, he came against the Jews, thinking to make the city an habitation of the Gentiles,

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:11:11 @ And giving a charge upon their enemies like lions, they slew eleven thousand footmen, and sixteen hundred horsemen, and put all the other to flight.

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

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

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:11:30 @ Wherefore they that will depart shall have safe conduct till the thirtieth day of Xanthicus with security.

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

bes@2Macc:12:6 @ And calling upon God the righteous Judge, he came against those murderers of his brethren, and burnt the haven by night, and set the boats on fire, and those that fled thither he slew.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:12:15 @ Wherefore Judas with his company, calling upon the great Lord of the world, who without rams or engines of war did cast down Jericho in the time of Joshua, gave a fierce assault against the walls,

bes@2Macc:12:17 @ Then departed they from thence seven hundred and fifty furlongs, and came to Characa unto the Jews that are called Tubieni.

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

bes@2Macc: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.

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

bes@2Macc: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,

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

bes@2Macc: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.

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

bes@2Macc:13:4 @ But the King of kings moved Antiochus’ mind against this wicked wretch, and Lysias informed the king that this man was the cause of all mischief, so that the king commanded to bring him unto Berea, and to put him to death, as the manner is in that place.

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

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

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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:

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:13:23 @ Heard that Philip, who was left over the affairs in Antioch, was desperately bent, confounded, intreated the Jews, submitted himself, and sware to all equal conditions, agreed with them, and offered sacrifice, honoured the temple, and dealt kindly with the place,

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

bes@2Macc:14:6 @ Those of the Jews that he called Assideans, whose captain is Judas Maccabeus, nourish war and are seditious, and will not let the rest be in peace.

bes@2Macc:14:8 @ First, verily for the unfeigned care I have of things pertaining to the king; and secondly, even for that I intend the good of mine own countrymen: for all our nation is in no small misery through the unadvised dealing of them aforesaid.

bes@2Macc: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.

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

bes@2Macc: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,

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

bes@2Macc:14:35 @ Thou, O Lord of all things, who hast need of nothing, wast pleased that the temple of thine habitation should be among us:

bes@2Macc:14:36 @ Therefore now, O holy Lord of all holiness, keep this house ever undefiled, which lately was cleansed, and stop every unrighteous mouth.

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

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

bes@2Macc:14:43 @ But missing his stroke through haste, the multitude also rushing within the doors, he ran boldly up to the wall, and cast himself down manfully among the thickest of them.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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,

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

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

bes@2Macc: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,

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

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:15:39 @ For as it is hurtful to drink wine or water alone; and as wine mingled with water is pleasant, and delighteth the taste: even so speech finely framed delighteth the ears of them that read the story. And here shall be an end.

bes@AddDaniel:1:3 @ For thou art righteous in all the things that thou hast done to us: yea, true are all thy works, thy ways are right, and all thy judgements truth.

bes@AddDaniel:1:4 @ In all the things that thou hast brought upon us, and upon the holy city of our fathers, even Jerusalem, thou hast executed true judgement: for according to truth and judgement didst thou bring all these things upon us because of our sins.

bes@AddDaniel:1:6 @ In all things have we trespassed, and not obeyed thy commandments, nor kept them, neither done as thou hast commanded us, that it might go well with us.

bes@AddDaniel:1:7 @ Wherefore all that thou hast brought upon us, and every thing that thou hast done to us, thou hast done in true judgement.

bes@AddDaniel:1:8 @ And thou didst deliver us into the hands of lawless enemies, most hateful forsakers of God, and to an unjust king, and the most wicked in all the world.

bes@AddDaniel:1:13 @ For we, O Lord, are become less than any nation, and be kept under this day in all the world because of our sins.

bes@AddDaniel:1:16 @ Like as in the burnt offerings of rams and bullocks, and like as in ten thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be in thy sight this day, and grant that we may wholly go after thee: for they shall not be confounded that put their trust in thee.

bes@3Macc:1:3 @ But Dositheus, called the son of Drimulus, by birth a Jew, afterward a renegade from the laws and observances of his country, conveyed Ptolemy away, and made an obscure person lie down in his stead in the tent. It befell this man to receive the fate which was meant for the other.

bes@3Macc:1:4 @ A fierce battle then took place; and the men of Antiochus prevailing, Arsinoe continually went up and down the ranks, and with dishevelled hair, with tears and entreaties, begged the soldiers to fight manfully for themselves, their children, and wives; and promised that if they proved conquerors, she would give them two minae of gold apiece.

bes@3Macc:4:11 @ They were conveyed accordingly in this vessel, and at the end of it arrived at Schedia. The king had ordered them to be cast into the vast hippodrome, which was built in front of the city. This place was well adapted by its situation to expose them to the gaze of all comers into the city, and of those who went from the city into the country. Thus they could hold no communication with his forces; nay, were deemed unworthy of any civilized accommodation.

bes@3Macc:4:14 @ The whole nation was now to be registered.

bes@3Macc:5:3 @ The king, after issuing these orders, went to his feasting, and gathered together all those of his friends and of the army who hated the Jews the most.

bes@3Macc:5:4 @ The master of the elephants, Hermon, fulfilled his commission punctually.

bes@3Macc:5:11 @ He, however, who has sent his good creature sleep from all time by night or by day thus gratifying whom he wills, diffused a portion thereof now upon the king.

bes@3Macc:5:18 @ Conversation grew on, and the king sent for Hermon, and enquired of him, with fierce denunciations, why the Jews had been allowed to outlive that day.

bes@3Macc:5:26 @ The sun's rays were not yet shed abroad, and the king was waiting for his friends, when Hermon came to him, calling him out, and saying, That his desires could now be realized.

bes@3Macc:5:29 @ Hermon, and all his friends, pointed out the preparation of the animals. they are ready, O king, according to your own strict injunction.

bes@3Macc:5:31 @ Your parents, or your children, were they here, to these wild beasts a large repast they should have furnished; not these innocent Jews, who me and my forefathers loyally have served.

bes@3Macc:5:40 @ O king, how long dost thou make trial of us, as of men bereft of reason? This is the third time that thou hast ordered their destruction. When the thing is to be done, thou changest thy mind, and recallest thy instructions.

bes@3Macc:5:41 @ For this cause the feeling of expectation causes tumult in the city: it swarms with factions; and is continually on the point of being plundered.

bes@3Macc:5:46 @ About early morning, when the city was now filled with an immense number of people at the hippodrome, he entered the palace, and called the king to the business in hand.

bes@3Macc:5:51 @ sent up an exceeding great cry entreating the Lord of all power to reveal himself, and have mercy upon those who now lay at the gates of hades.

bes@3Macc:6:15 @ Let it be shewn to all the nations that thou art with us, O Lord, and hast not turned thy face away from us; but as thou saidst that thou wouldst not forget them even in the land of their enemies, so do thou fulfil this saying, O Lord.

bes@3Macc:6:17 @ When the Jews saw this, they uttered a loud cry to heaven, so that the adjacent valleys resounded, and caused an irrepressible lamentation throughout the army.

bes@3Macc:6:18 @ Then the all-glorious, all-powerful, and true God, displayed his holy countenance, and opened the gates of heaven, from which two angels, dreadful of form, came down and were visible to all but the Jews.

bes@3Macc:6:23 @ For when he heard the cry, and saw them all on the verge of destruction, with tears he angrily threatened his friends, saying,

bes@3Macc:6:26 @ Who has thus consigned to unmerited punishments those who in good will towards us from the beginning have in all things surpassed all nations, and who often have engaged in the most dangerous undertakings?

bes@3Macc:6:30 @ The king then departed to the city, and called his financier to him, and bade him provide a seven days' quantity of wine and other materials for feasting for the Jews. He decided that they should keep a gladsome festival of deliverance in the very place in which they expected to meet with their destruction.

bes@3Macc:6:31 @ Then they who were before despised and nigh unto hades, yea, rather advanced into it, partook of the cup of salvation, instead of a grievous and lamentable death. Full of exultation, they parted out the place intended for their fall and burial into banqueting booths.

bes@3Macc:6:32 @ Ceasing their miserable strain of woe, they took up the subject of their fatherland, hymning in praise God their wonder-working Saviour. All groans, all wailing, were laid aside: they formed dances in token of serene joy.

bes@3Macc:6:39 @ The Ruler over all did during this time manifest forth his mercy gloriously, and did deliver them all together unharmed.

bes@3Macc:7:1 @ King Ptolemy Philopator to the commanders throughout Egypt, and to all who are set over affairs, joy and strength.

bes@3Macc:7:4 @ They pretended that our affairs would never be in a good state till this took place. Such, they said, was the hatred borne by the Jews to all other people.

bes@3Macc:7:6 @ For this cause we severely threatened them; yet, with the clemency which we are wont to extend to all men, we at length permitted them to live. Finding that the God of heaven cast a shield of protection over the Jews so as to preserve them, and that he fought for them as a father always fights for his sons;

bes@3Macc:7:8 @ And we have dismissed them to their several homes; bidding all men everywhere to do them no wrong, or unrighteously revile them about the past.

bes@3Macc:7:9 @ For know ye, that should we conceive any evil design, or in any way aggrieve them, we shall ever have as our opposite, not man, but the highest God, the ruler of all might. From Him there will be no escape, as the avenger of such deeds. Fare ye well.

bes@3Macc:7:10 @ When they had received this letter, they were not forward to depart immediately. They petitioned the king to be allowed to inflict fitting punishment upon those of their race who had willingly transgressed the holy god, and the law of God.

bes@3Macc:7:11 @ They alleged that men who had for their bellies' sake transgressed the ordinances of God, would never be faithful to the interests of the king.

bes@3Macc:7:13 @ Their priests, then, as it was meet, saluted him with good wishes, and all the people echoed with the Hallelujah. They then joyfully departed.

bes@3Macc:7:18 @ they partook of a banquet of deliverance, for the king generously granted them severally the means of securing a return home.

bes@4Macc:1:2 @ For reason is necessary to every one as a step to science: and more especially does it embrace the praise of prudence, the highest virtue.

bes@4Macc:1:8 @ but I shall prove it with the greatest force from the fortitude of Eleazar, and seven brethren, and their mother, who suffered death in defence of virtue.

bes@4Macc:1:9 @ For all these, contemning pains even unto death, by this contempt, demonstrated that reasoning has command over the passions.

bes@4Macc:1:12 @ But we may now at once enter upon the question, having commenced, as is our wont, with laying down the doctrine, and so proceed to the account of these persons, giving glory to the all wise God.

bes@4Macc:1:14 @ Let us determine, then, What is reasoning? and what passion? and how many forms of the passions? and whether reasoning bears sway over all of these?

bes@4Macc:1:25 @ And there exists in pleasure a malicious disposition, which is the most multiform of all the affections.

bes@4Macc:1:29 @ And reasoning, the universal husbandman, purging, and pruning these severally, and binding round, and watering, and transplanting, in every way improves the materials of the morals and affections.

bes@4Macc:1:34 @ Hence it is, then, that when lusting after water-animals and birds, and fourfooted beasts, and all kinds of food which are forbidden us by the law, we withhold ourselves through the mastery of reasoning.

bes@4Macc:1:35 @ For the affections of our appetites are resisted by the temperate understanding, and bent back again, and all the impulses of the body are reined in by reasoning.

bes@4Macc:2:6 @ Now, then, since it is the law which has forbidden us to desire, I shall much the more easily persuade you, that reasoning is able to govern our lusts, just as it does the affections which are impediments to justice.

bes@4Macc:2:14 @ It alloweth not to cut down the cultivated herbage of an enemy, but preserveth it from the destroyers, and collecteth their fallen ruins.

bes@4Macc:2:16 @ For the temperate understanding repels all these malignant passions, as it does wrath: for it masters even this.

bes@4Macc:2:19 @ For why, else, does our most wise father Jacob blame Simeon and Levi for having irrationally slain the whole race of the Shechemites, saying, Cursed be their anger.

bes@4Macc:2:22 @ And at that time He enthroned above all the holy leader mind, through the medium of the senses.

bes@4Macc:4:11 @ And Apollonius fell half dead upon the court which is open to all nations, and extended his hands to heaven, and implored the Hebrews, with tears, to pray for him, and propitiate the heavenly host.

bes@4Macc:4:12 @ For he said that he had sinned, so as to be consequently worthy of death; and that if he were saved, he would celebrate to all men the blessedness of the holy place.

bes@4Macc:4:19 @ And he both changed the manner of living of the people, and perverted their civil customs into all lawlessness.

bes@4Macc:4:24 @ And when he could by no means destroy by his decrees the obedience to the law of the nation, but saw all his threats and punishments without effect,

bes@4Macc:5:13 @ For, bear in mind, that if there be any power which watches over this religion of yours, it will pardon you for all transgressions of the law which you commit through compulsion.

bes@4Macc:5:20 @ For transgression of the law, whether in small or great matters, is of equal moment;

bes@4Macc:5:21 @ for in either case the law is equally slighted.

bes@4Macc:5:22 @ But thou deridest our philosophy, as though we lived irrationally in it.

bes@4Macc:5:24 @ And it instructs us in justice, so that in all our dealoings we render what is due; and it teaches us piety, so that we worship the one only God becomingly.

bes@4Macc:5:37 @ My fathers shall receive me pure, not having quailed before your compulsion, though unto death.

bes@4Macc:6:5 @ But Eleazar, the high-minded and truly noble, as one tortured in a dream, regarded it not all.

bes@4Macc:6:7 @ And falling upon the ground, from his body having no power to support the pains, he yet kept his reasoning upright and unbending.

bes@4Macc:6:20 @ It would be disgraceful if we should live on some short time, and that scorned by all men for cowardice,

bes@4Macc:6:34 @ And it is but fair that we should allow, that the power belongs to reasoning, since it masters external miseries.
