^14:24Thus saith the Lord of hosts, As I have said, so it shall be: and as I have purposed, so the matter shall remain: ²⁵even to destroy the Assyrians upon my land, and upon my mountains: and they shall be for trampling; and their yoke shall be taken away from them, and their glory shall be taken away from their shoulders. ²⁶This is the purpose which the Lord has purposed upon the whole earth: and this the hand that is uplifted against all the nations. ²⁷For what the Holy God has purposed, who shall frustrate? and who shall turn back his uplifted hand? ²⁸In the year in which king Achaz died this word came. ²⁹Rejoice not, all ye Philistines, because the yoke of him that smote you is broken: for out of the seed of the serpent shall come forth the young of asps, and their young shall come forth flying serpents. ³⁰And the poor shall be fed by him, and poor men shall rest in peace: but he shall destroy thy seed with hunger, and shall destroy thy remnant. ³¹Howl, ye gates of cities; let the cities be troubled and cry, even all the Philistines: for smoke is coming from the north, and there is no possibility of living. ³²And what shall the kings of the nations answer? That the Lord has founded Sion, and by him the poor of the people shall be saved.

^8:21And the Lord God smelled a smell of sweetness, and the Lord God having considered, said, I will not any more curse the earth, because of the works of men, because the imagination of man is intently bent upon evil things from his youth, I will not therefore any more smite all living flesh as I have done. ²²All the days of the earth, seed and harvest, cold and heat, summer and spring, shall not cease by day or night. ^9:1And God blessed Noe and his sons, and said to them, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and have dominion over it. ²And the dread and the fear of you shall be upon all the wild beasts of the earth, on all the birds of the sky, and on all things moving upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea, I have placed them under your power. ³And every reptile which is living shall be to you for meat, I have given all things to you as the green herbs. ⁴But flesh with blood of life ye shall not eat. ⁵For your blood of your lives will I require at the hand of all wild beasts, and I will require the life of man at the hand of his brother man. ⁶He that sheds man's blood, instead of that blood shall his own be shed, for in the image of God I made man. ⁷But do ye increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and have dominion over it.

^11:19A righteous son is born for life: but the persecution of the ungodly ends in death. ²⁰Perverse ways are an abomination to the Lord: but all they that are blameless in their ways are acceptable to him. ²¹He that unjustly strikes hands shall not be unpunished: but he that sows righteousness shall receive a faithful reward. ²²As an ornament in a swine's snout, so is beauty to an ill-minded woman. ²³All the desire of the righteous is good: but the hope of the ungodly shall perish. ²⁴There are some who scatter their own, and make it more: and there are some also who gather, yet have less. ²⁵Every sincere soul is blessed: but a passionate man is not graceful. ²⁶May he that hoards corn leave it to the nation: but blessing be on the head of him that gives it. ²⁷He that devises good counsels seeks good favour: but as for him that seeks after evil, evil shall overtake him. ²⁸He that trusts in wealth shall fall; but he that helps righteous men shall rise. ²⁹He that deals not graciously with his own house shall inherit the wind; and the fool shall be servant to the wise man. ³⁰Out of the fruit of righteousness grows a tree of life; but the souls of transgressors are cut off before their time. ³¹If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? ^12:1He that loves instruction loves sense, but he that hates reproofs is a fool. ²He that has found favour with the Lord is made better; but a transgressor shall be passed over in silence. ³A man shall not prosper by wickedness; but the roots of the righteous shall not be taken up. ⁴A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but as a worm in wood, so a bad woman destroys her husband. ⁵The thoughts of the righteous are true judgments; but ungodly men devise deceits. ⁶The words of ungodly men are crafty; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

^28:10And Jacob went forth from the well of the oath, and departed into Charrhan. ¹¹And came to a certain place and slept there, for the sun had gone down; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put it at his head, and lay down to sleep in that place, ¹²and dreamed, and behold a ladder fixed on the earth, whose top reached to heaven, and the angels of God ascended and descended on it. ¹³And the Lord stood upon it, and said, I am the God of thy father Abraam, and the God of Isaac; fear not, the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed. ¹⁴And thy seed shall be as the sand of the earth; and it shall spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed. ¹⁵And behold I am with thee to preserve thee continually in all the way wherein thou shalt go; and I will bring thee back to this land; for I will not desert thee, until I have done all that I have said to thee. ¹⁶And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and said, The Lord is in this place, and I knew it not. ¹⁷And he was afraid, and said, How fearful is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.

^43:27And it shall come to pass from the eighth day and onward, that the priests shall offer your whole-burnt-offerings on the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord. ^44:1Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary that looks eastward; and it was shut. ²And the Lord said to me, This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no one shall pass through it; for the Lord God of Israel shall enter by it, and it shall be shut. ³For the prince, he shall sit in it, to eat bread before the Lord; he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go forth by the way of the same. ⁴And he brought me in by the way of the gate that looks northward, in front of the house: and I looked, and, behold, the house was full of the glory of the Lord: and I fell upon my face.

^9:1Wisdom has built a house for herself, and set up seven pillars. ²She has killed her beasts; she has mingled her wine in a bowl, and prepared her table. ³She has sent forth her servants, calling with a loud proclamation to the feast, saying, ⁴Whoso is foolish, let him turn aside to me: and to them that want understanding she says, ⁵Come, eat of my bread, and drink wine which I have mingled for you. ⁶Leave folly, that ye may reign for ever; and seek wisdom, and improve understanding by knowledge. ⁷He that reproves evil men shall get dishonour to himself; and he that rebukes an ungodly man shall disgrace himself. ⁸Rebuke not evil men, lest they should hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. ⁹Give an opportunity to a wise man, and he will be wiser: instruct a just man, and he will receive more instruction. ¹⁰The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the counsel of saints is understanding: ¹¹For in this way thou shalt live long, and years of thy life shall be added to thee.
