^26:21For, behold, the Lord is bringing wrath from his holy place upon the dwellers on the earth: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall not cover her slain. ^27:1In that day God shall bring his holy and great and strong sword upon the dragon, even the serpent that flees, upon the dragon, the crooked serpent: he shall destroy the dragon. ²In that day there shall be a fair vineyard, and a desire to commence a song concerning it. ³I am a strong city, a city in a siege: in vain shall I water it; for it shall be taken by night, and by day the wall shall fall. ⁴There is no woman that has not taken hold of it; who will set me to watch stubble in the field? because of this enemy I have set her aside; therefore on this account the Lord has done all that he appointed. ⁵I am burnt up; they that dwell in her shall cry, Let us make peace with him, let us make peace, ⁶they that are coming are the children of Jacob. Israel shall bud and blossom, and the world shall be filled with his fruit. ⁷Shall he himself be thus smitten, even as he smote? and as he slew, shall he be thus slain? ⁸Fighting and reproaching he will dismiss them; didst thou not meditate with a harsh spirit, to slay them with a wrathful spirit? ⁹Therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be taken away; and this is his blessing, when I shall have taken away his sin; when they shall have broken to pieces all the stones of the altars as fine dust, and their trees shall not remain, and their idols shall be cut off, as a thicket afar off.

^9:18Now the sons of Noe which came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, Japheth. And Cham was father of Chanaan. ¹⁹These three are the sons of Noe, of these were men scattered over all the earth. ²⁰And Noe began to be a husbandman, and he planted a vineyard. ²¹And he drank of the wine, and was drunk, and was naked in his house. ²²And Cham the father of Chanaan saw the nakedness of his father, and he went out and told his two brothers without. ²³And Sem and Japheth having taken a garment, put it on both their backs and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their face was backward, and they saw not the nakedness of their father. ²⁴And Noe recovered from the wine, and knew all that his younger son had done to him. ²⁵And he said, Cursed be the servant Chanaan, a slave shall he be to his brethren. ²⁶And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Sem, and Chanaan shall be his bond-servant. ²⁷May God make room for Japheth, and let him dwell in the habitations of Sem, and let Chanaan be his servant. ²⁸And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. ²⁹And all the days of Noe were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died. ^10:1Now these are the generations of the sons of Noe, Sem, Cham, Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood.

^12:23An understanding man is a throne of wisdom; but the heart of fools shall meet with curses. ²⁴The hand of chosen men shall easily obtain rule; but the deceitful shall be for a prey. ²⁵A terrible word troubles the heart of a righteous man; but a good message rejoices him. ²⁶A just arbitrator shall be his own friend; but mischief shall pursue sinners; and the way of ungodly men shall lead them astray. ²⁷A deceitful man shall catch no game; but a blameless man is a precious possession. ²⁸In the ways of righteousness is life; but the ways of those that remember injuries lead to death. ^13:1A wise son is obedient to his father: but a disobedient son will be destroyed. ²A good man shall eat of the fruits of righteousness: but the lives of transgressors shall perish before their time. ³He that keeps his own mouth keeps his own life: but he that is hasty with his lips shall bring terror upon himself. ⁴Every slothful man desires, but the hands of the active are diligent. ⁵A righteous man hates an unjust word: but an ungodly man is ashamed, and will have no confidence. ⁷There are some who, having nothing, enrich themselves: and there are some who bring themselves down in the midst of much wealth. ⁸A man's own wealth is the ransom of his life: but the poor endures not threatening. ⁹The righteous always have light: but the light of the ungodly is quenched.

^2:11For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers, ¹²saying, “I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the congregation I will sing your praise.” ¹³Again, “I will put my trust in him.” Again, “Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me.” ¹⁴Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, ¹⁵and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. ¹⁶For most certainly, he doesn’t give help to angels, but he gives help to the offspring of Abraham. ¹⁷Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people. ¹⁸For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

^1:24After these days Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying, ²⁵“Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men.” ²⁶Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, ²⁷to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of David’s house. The virgin’s name was Mary. ²⁸Having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, you highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!” ²⁹But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be. ³⁰The angel said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. ³¹Behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and shall name him ‘Jesus.’ ³²He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, ³³and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom.” ³⁴Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?” ³⁵The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Son of God. ³⁶Behold, Elizabeth your relative also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. ³⁷For nothing spoken by God is impossible.” ³⁸Mary said, “Behold, the servant of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.
