Chapter 5<\/h4>

1<\/small><\/span> Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.\r\n<\/p>

2<\/small><\/span> Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, might drink from them.\r\n<\/p>

3<\/small><\/span> Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, drank from them.\r\n<\/p>

4<\/small><\/span> They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.\r\n<\/p>

5<\/small><\/span> In the same hour came forth the fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.\r\n<\/p>

6<\/small><\/span> Then the king's face was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him; and the joints of his thighs were loosened, and his knees struck one against another.\r\n<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever shall read this writing, and show me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.\r\n<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> Then came in all the king's wise men; but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation.\r\n<\/p>

9<\/small><\/span> Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his face was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.\r\n<\/p>

10<\/small><\/span> [Now] the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: the queen spoke and said, O king, live forever; don't let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your face be changed.\r\n<\/p>

11<\/small><\/span> There is a man in your kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and the king Nebuchadnezzar your father, the king, [I say], your father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;\r\n<\/p>

12<\/small><\/span> because an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of dark sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.\r\n<\/p>

13<\/small><\/span> Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, Are you that Daniel, who are of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?\r\n<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you.\r\n<\/p>

15<\/small><\/span> Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known to me its interpretation; but they could not show the interpretation of the thing.\r\n<\/p>

16<\/small><\/span> But I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations, and dissolve doubts; now if you can read the writing, and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.\r\n<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> Then Daniel answered before the king, Let your gifts be to yourself, and give your rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.\r\n<\/p>

18<\/small><\/span> You, king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty:\r\n<\/p>

19<\/small><\/span> and because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him: whom he would he killed, and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he raised up, and whom he would he put down.\r\n<\/p>

20<\/small><\/span> But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:\r\n<\/p>

21<\/small><\/span> and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the animals', and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky; until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he will.\r\n<\/p>

22<\/small><\/span> You, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,\r\n<\/p>

23<\/small><\/span> but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have drunk wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which don't see, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways, you have not glorified.\r\n<\/p>

24<\/small><\/span> Then was the part of the hand sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.\r\n<\/p>

25<\/small><\/span> This is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.\r\n<\/p>

26<\/small><\/span> This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God has numbered your kingdom, and brought it to an end;\r\n<\/p>

27<\/small><\/span> TEKEL; you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.\r\n<\/p>

28<\/small><\/span> PERES; your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.\r\n<\/p>

29<\/small><\/span> Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.\r\n<\/p>

30<\/small><\/span> In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain.\r\n<\/p>

31<\/small><\/span> Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.\r\n<\/p><\/div>\n

#9: King Herod Is Eaten By Worms<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter 12<\/h4>

1<\/small><\/span> Now about that time, King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly.\r\n<\/p>

2<\/small><\/span> He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.\r\n<\/p>

3<\/small><\/span> When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.\r\n<\/p>

4<\/small><\/span> When he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.\r\n<\/p>

5<\/small><\/span> Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the assembly to God for him.\r\n<\/p>

6<\/small><\/span> The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.\r\n<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side, and woke him up, saying, \"Stand up quickly!\" His chains fell off from his hands.\r\n<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> The angel said to him, \"Get dressed and put on your sandals.\" He did so. He said to him, \"Put on your cloak, and follow me.\"\r\n<\/p>

9<\/small><\/span> And he went out and followed him. He didn't know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.\r\n<\/p>

10<\/small><\/span> When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out, and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.\r\n<\/p>

11<\/small><\/span> When Peter had come to himself, he said, \"Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting.\"\r\n<\/p>

12<\/small><\/span> Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.\r\n<\/p>

13<\/small><\/span> When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a maid named Rhoda came to answer.\r\n<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> When she recognized Peter's voice, she didn't open the gate for joy, but ran in, and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.\r\n<\/p>

15<\/small><\/span> They said to her, \"You are crazy!\" But she insisted that it was so. They said, \"It is his angel.\"\r\n<\/p>

16<\/small><\/span> But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.\r\n<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> But he, beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, \"Tell these things to James, and to the brothers.\" Then he departed, and went to another place.\r\n<\/p>

18<\/small><\/span> Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.\r\n<\/p>

19<\/small><\/span> When Herod had sought for him, and didn't find him, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.\r\n<\/p>

20<\/small><\/span> Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus, the king's personal aide, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king's country for food.\r\n<\/p>

21<\/small><\/span> On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.\r\n<\/p>

22<\/small><\/span> The people shouted, \"The voice of a god, and not of a man!\"\r\n<\/p>

23<\/small><\/span> Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn't give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.\r\n<\/p>

24<\/small><\/span> But the word of God grew and multiplied.\r\n<\/p><\/div>\n

#8: The Spirit Of Samuel Appears To Saul<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter 28<\/h4>

3<\/small><\/span> Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. Saul had put away those who had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.\r\n<\/p>

4<\/small><\/span> The Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa.\r\n<\/p>

5<\/small><\/span> When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.\r\n<\/p>

6<\/small><\/span> When Saul inquired of Yahweh, Yahweh didn't answer him, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.\r\n<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> Then Saul said to his servants, \"Seek me a woman who has a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her.\" His servants said to him, \"Behold, there is a woman who has a familiar spirit at Endor.\"\r\n<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> Saul disguised himself, and put on other clothing, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, \"Please divine to me by the familiar spirit, and bring me up whoever I shall name to you.\"\r\n<\/p>

9<\/small><\/span> The woman said to him, \"Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?\"\r\n<\/p>

10<\/small><\/span> Saul swore to her by Yahweh, saying, \"As Yahweh lives, no punishment shall happen to you for this thing.\"\r\n<\/p>

11<\/small><\/span> Then the woman said, \"Whom shall I bring up to you?\" He said, \"Bring Samuel up for me.\"\r\n<\/p>

12<\/small><\/span> When the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, \"Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!\"\r\n<\/p>

13<\/small><\/span> The king said to her, \"Don't be afraid. For what do you see?\" The woman said to Saul, \"I see a god coming up out of the earth.\"\r\n<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> He said to her, \"What does he look like?\" She said, \"An old man comes up. He is covered with a robe.\" Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and did obeisance.\r\n<\/p>

15<\/small><\/span> Samuel said to Saul, \"Why have you disturbed me, to bring me up?\" Saul answered, \"I am very distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me, and answers me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I shall do.\"\r\n<\/p>

16<\/small><\/span> Samuel said, \"Why then do you ask of me, since Yahweh has departed from you and has become your adversary?\r\n<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> Yahweh has done to you as he spoke by me. Yahweh has torn the kingdom out of your hand, and given it to your neighbor, even to David.\r\n<\/p>

18<\/small><\/span> Because you didn't obey the voice of Yahweh, and didn't execute his fierce wrath on Amalek, therefore Yahweh has done this thing to you this day.\r\n<\/p>

19<\/small><\/span> Moreover Yahweh will deliver Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Yahweh will deliver the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.\"\r\n<\/p>

20<\/small><\/span> Then Saul fell immediately his full length on the earth, and was terrified, because of the words of Samuel. There was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.\r\n<\/p>

21<\/small><\/span> The woman came to Saul, and saw that he was very troubled, and said to him, \"Behold, your handmaid has listened to your voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have listened to your words which you spoke to me.\r\n<\/p>

22<\/small><\/span> Now therefore, please listen also to the voice of your handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength, when you go on your way.\"\r\n<\/p>

23<\/small><\/span> But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, constrained him; and he listened to their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat on the bed.\r\n<\/p>

24<\/small><\/span> The woman had a fattened calf in the house. She hurried and killed it; and she took flour, and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread of it.\r\n<\/p>

25<\/small><\/span> She brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate. Then they rose up, and went away that night.\r\n<\/p><\/div>\n

#7: Jonah Is Tossed Overboard And Swallowed By A Fish<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter 1<\/h4>

1<\/small><\/span> Now the word of Yahweh came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,\r\n<\/p>

2<\/small><\/span> \"Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me.\"\r\n<\/p>

3<\/small><\/span> But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh.\r\n<\/p>

4<\/small><\/span> But Yahweh sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty storm on the sea, so that the ship was likely to break up.\r\n<\/p>

5<\/small><\/span> Then the mariners were afraid, and every man cried to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he was laying down, and was fast asleep.\r\n<\/p>

6<\/small><\/span> So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, \"What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God! Maybe your God will notice us, so that we won't perish.\"\r\n<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> They all said to each other, \"Come, let us cast lots, that we may know who is responsible for this evil that is on us.\" So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.\r\n<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> Then they asked him, \"Tell us, please, for whose cause this evil is on us. What is your occupation? Where do you come from? What is your country? Of what people are you?\"\r\n<\/p>

9<\/small><\/span> He said to them, \"I am a Hebrew, and I fear Yahweh, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.\"\r\n<\/p>

10<\/small><\/span> Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said to him, \"What is this that you have done?\" For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of Yahweh, because he had told them.\r\n<\/p>

11<\/small><\/span> Then they said to him, \"What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?\" For the sea grew more and more stormy.\r\n<\/p>

12<\/small><\/span> He said to them, \"Take me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great storm is on you.\"\r\n<\/p>

13<\/small><\/span> Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not, for the sea grew more and more stormy against them.\r\n<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> Therefore they cried to Yahweh, and said, \"We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, don't let us die for this man's life, and don't lay on us innocent blood; for you, Yahweh, have done as it pleased you.\"\r\n<\/p>

15<\/small><\/span> So they took up Jonah, and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging.\r\n<\/p>

16<\/small><\/span> Then the men feared Yahweh exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to Yahweh, and made vows.\r\n<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> Yahweh prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.\r\n<\/p><\/div>\n

#6: John The Baptist Is Beheaded<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter 14<\/h4>

1<\/small><\/span> \"Don't let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.\r\n<\/p>

2<\/small><\/span> In my Father's house are many homes. If it weren't so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.\r\n<\/p>

4<\/small><\/span> Where I go, you know, and you know the way.\"\r\n<\/p>

5<\/small><\/span> Thomas said to him, \"Lord, we don't know where you are going. How can we know the way?\"\r\n<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him.\"\r\n<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> Philip said to him, \"Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.\"\r\n<\/p>

9<\/small><\/span> Jesus said to him, \"Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, 'Show us the Father?'\r\n<\/p>

10<\/small><\/span> Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.\r\n<\/p>

11<\/small><\/span> Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works' sake.\r\n<\/p>

12<\/small><\/span> Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.\r\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Satan Is Defeated<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter 19<\/h4>

11<\/small><\/span> I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war.\r\n<\/p>

12<\/small><\/span> His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has names written and a name written which no one knows but he himself.\r\n<\/p>

13<\/small><\/span> He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called \"The Word of God.\"\r\n<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> The armies which are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in white, pure, fine linen.\r\n<\/p>

15<\/small><\/span> Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.\r\n<\/p>

16<\/small><\/span> He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, \"KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.\"\r\n<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> I saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the sky, \"Come! Be gathered together to the great supper of God,\r\n<\/p>

18<\/small><\/span> that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, and small and great.\"\r\n<\/p>

19<\/small><\/span> I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse, and against his army.\r\n<\/p>

20<\/small><\/span> The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.\r\n<\/p>

21<\/small><\/span> The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came forth out of his mouth. All the birds were filled with their flesh.\r\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Daniel Is Thrown In The Lions\u2019 Den<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter 1<\/h4>

1<\/small><\/span> Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite:\r\n<\/p>

2<\/small><\/span> and he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.\r\n<\/p>

3<\/small><\/span> This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to Yahweh of Armies in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to Yahweh, were there.\r\n<\/p>

4<\/small><\/span> When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:\r\n<\/p>

5<\/small><\/span> but to Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but Yahweh had shut up her womb.\r\n<\/p>

6<\/small><\/span> Her rival provoked her severely, to make her fret, because Yahweh had shut up her womb.\r\n<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> [as] he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of Yahweh, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.\r\n<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> Elkanah her husband said to her, \"Hannah, why do you weep? Why don't you eat? Why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?\"\r\n<\/p>

9<\/small><\/span> So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the doorpost of the temple of Yahweh.\r\n<\/p>

10<\/small><\/span> She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Yahweh, and wept bitterly.\r\n<\/p>

11<\/small><\/span> She vowed a vow, and said, \"Yahweh of Armies, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your handmaid, and remember me, and not forget your handmaid, but will give to your handmaid a boy, then I will give him to Yahweh all the days of his life, and no razor shall come on his head.\"\r\n<\/p>

12<\/small><\/span> It happened, as she continued praying before Yahweh, that Eli saw her mouth.\r\n<\/p>

13<\/small><\/span> Now Hannah spoke in her heart. Only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.\r\n<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> Eli said to her, \"How long will you be drunken? Put away your wine from you.\"\r\n<\/p>

15<\/small><\/span> Hannah answered, \"No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before Yahweh.\r\n<\/p>

16<\/small><\/span> Don't count your handmaid for a wicked woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation.\"\r\n<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> Then Eli answered, \"Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him.\"\r\n<\/p>

18<\/small><\/span> She said, \"Let your handmaid find favor in your sight.\" So the woman went her way, and ate; and her facial expression wasn't sad any more.\r\n<\/p>

19<\/small><\/span> They rose up in the morning early, and worshiped before Yahweh, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Yahweh remembered her.\r\n<\/p>

20<\/small><\/span> It happened, when the time had come, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, [saying], \"Because I have asked him of Yahweh.\"\r\n<\/p>

21<\/small><\/span> The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to Yahweh the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.\r\n<\/p>

22<\/small><\/span> But Hannah didn't go up; for she said to her husband, \"Not until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before Yahweh, and stay there forever.\"\r\n<\/p>

Shadrach, Meshach Abednego Are Thrown Into A Fiery Furnace<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter 3<\/h4>

1<\/small><\/span> Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits, and the breadth of it six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.<\/p>

2<\/small><\/span> Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.<\/p>

3<\/small><\/span> Then the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.<\/p>

4<\/small><\/span> Then the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, peoples, nations, and languages,<\/p>

5<\/small><\/span> that whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up;<\/p>

6<\/small><\/span> and whoever doesn't fall down and worships shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and brought accusation against the Jews.<\/p>

9<\/small><\/span> They answered Nebuchadnezzar the king, O king, live for ever.<\/p>

10<\/small><\/span> You, O king, have made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;<\/p>

11<\/small><\/span> and whoever doesn't fall down and worships, shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.<\/p>

12<\/small><\/span> There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, O king, have not regarded you: they don't serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up.<\/p>

13<\/small><\/span> Then Nebuchadnezzar in [his] rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men before the king.<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> Nebuchadnezzar answered them, Is it on purpose, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that you don't serve my god, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?<\/p>

15<\/small><\/span> Now if you are ready whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music to you fall down and worship the image which I have made, [well]: but if you don't worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that god that shall deliver you out of my hands?<\/p>

16<\/small><\/span> Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered the king, Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> If it be [so], our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.<\/p>

18<\/small><\/span> But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up.<\/p>

19<\/small><\/span> Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: [therefore] he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was wont to be heated.<\/p>

20<\/small><\/span> He commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, [and] to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.<\/p>

21<\/small><\/span> Then these men were bound in their pants, their tunics, and their mantles, and their [other] garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.<\/p>

22<\/small><\/span> Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.<\/p>

23<\/small><\/span> These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.<\/p>

24<\/small><\/span> Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste: he spoke and said to his counselors, Didn't we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered the king, True, O king.<\/p>

25<\/small><\/span> He answered, Look, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the aspect of the fourth is like a son of the gods.<\/p>

26<\/small><\/span> Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace: he spoke and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, you servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came forth out of the midst of the fire.<\/p>

27<\/small><\/span> The satraps, the deputies, and the governors, and the king's counselors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their pants changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them.<\/p>

28<\/small><\/span> Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has sent his angel, and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.<\/p>

29<\/small><\/span> Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other god who is able to deliver after this sort.<\/p>

30<\/small><\/span> Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in the province of Babylon.<\/p><\/div>\n

Plagues On Egypt<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter 7<\/h4>

1<\/small><\/span> Yahweh said to Moses, \"Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.\r\n<\/p>

2<\/small><\/span> You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.\r\n<\/p>

3<\/small><\/span> I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.\r\n<\/p>

4<\/small><\/span> But Pharaoh will not listen to you, and I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring forth my armies, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.\r\n<\/p>

5<\/small><\/span> The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh, when I stretch forth my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.\"\r\n<\/p>

6<\/small><\/span> Moses and Aaron did so. As Yahweh commanded them, so they did.\r\n<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.\r\n<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,\r\n<\/p>

#5: Dry Bones Come To Life<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter 37<\/h4>

1<\/small><\/span> The hand of Yahweh was on me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of Yahweh, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.\r\n<\/p>

2<\/small><\/span> He caused me to pass by them all around: and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and behold, they were very dry.\r\n<\/p>

3<\/small><\/span> He said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? I answered, Lord Yahweh, you know.\r\n<\/p>

4<\/small><\/span> Again he said to me, Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, you dry bones, hear the word of Yahweh.\r\n<\/p>

5<\/small><\/span> Thus says the Lord Yahweh to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.\r\n<\/p>

6<\/small><\/span> I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.\r\n<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, an earthquake; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.\r\n<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> I saw, and, behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them.\r\n<\/p>

9<\/small><\/span> Then he said to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.\r\n<\/p>

10<\/small><\/span> So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an exceedingly great army.\r\n<\/p>

11<\/small><\/span> Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off.\r\n<\/p>

12<\/small><\/span> Therefore prophesy, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.\r\n<\/p>

13<\/small><\/span> You shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, my people.\r\n<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> I will put my Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and you shall know that I, Yahweh, have spoken it and performed it, says Yahweh.\r\n<\/p><\/div>\n

45<\/small><\/span> Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.<\/p>

46<\/small><\/span> About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, \"Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?\" That is, \"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?\"<\/p>

47<\/small><\/span> Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, \"This man calls Elijah.\"<\/p>

48<\/small><\/span> Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.<\/p>

49<\/small><\/span> The rest said, \"Let him be. Let's see whether Elijah comes to save him.\"<\/p>

50<\/small><\/span> Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.<\/p>

51<\/small><\/span> Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.<\/p>

52<\/small><\/span> The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;<\/p>

53<\/small><\/span> and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.<\/p>

30<\/small><\/span> Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.\r\n<\/p>

#2: The Passover<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter 12<\/h4>

1<\/small><\/span> Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,\r\n<\/p>

2<\/small><\/span> \"This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you.\r\n<\/p>

3<\/small><\/span> Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, 'On the tenth day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household;\r\n<\/p>

4<\/small><\/span> and if the household is too little for a lamb, then he and his neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls; according to what everyone can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.\r\n<\/p>

5<\/small><\/span> Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:\r\n<\/p>

6<\/small><\/span> and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening.\r\n<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.\r\n<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> They shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.\r\n<\/p>

9<\/small><\/span> Don't eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.\r\n<\/p>

10<\/small><\/span> You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.\r\n<\/p>

11<\/small><\/span> This is how you shall eat it: with your belt on your waist, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is Yahweh's Passover.\r\n<\/p>

12<\/small><\/span> For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. Against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am Yahweh.\r\n<\/p>

13<\/small><\/span> The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be on you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.\r\n<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> This day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to Yahweh: throughout your generations you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.\r\n<\/p>

15<\/small><\/span> \"'Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.\r\n<\/p>

16<\/small><\/span> In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no kind of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.\r\n<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.\r\n<\/p>

18<\/small><\/span> In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day of the month at evening.\r\n<\/p>

19<\/small><\/span> Seven days shall there be no yeast found in your houses, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a foreigner, or one who is born in the land.\r\n<\/p>

20<\/small><\/span> You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations you shall eat unleavened bread.'\"\r\n<\/p>

21<\/small><\/span> Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, \"Draw out, and take lambs according to your families, and kill the Passover.\r\n<\/p>

22<\/small><\/span> You shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.\r\n<\/p>

23<\/small><\/span> For Yahweh will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two doorposts, Yahweh will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.\r\n<\/p>

24<\/small><\/span> You shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.\r\n<\/p>

25<\/small><\/span> It shall happen when you have come to the land which Yahweh will give you, according as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.\r\n<\/p>

26<\/small><\/span> It will happen, when your children ask you, 'What do you mean by this service?'\r\n<\/p>

27<\/small><\/span> that you shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of Yahweh's Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, and spared our houses.'\" The people bowed their heads and worshiped.\r\n<\/p>

28<\/small><\/span> The children of Israel went and did so; as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.\r\n<\/p>

29<\/small><\/span> It happened at midnight, that Yahweh struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of livestock.\r\n<\/p>

30<\/small><\/span> Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.\r\n<\/p><\/div>\n

#1: The Seven Bowls Of God\u2019s Wrath Are Unleashed In The End Times<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter 16<\/h4>

1<\/small><\/span> I heard a loud voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, \"Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God on the earth!\"\r\n<\/p>

2<\/small><\/span> Then Judith began to sing this thanksgiving for all Israel, and all the people sang after her this song of praise.\r\n<\/p>

3<\/small><\/span> The first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth, and it became a harmful and evil sore on the people who had the mark of the beast, and who worshiped his image.\r\n<\/p>

4<\/small><\/span> And Judith said, \"Begin to my God with timbrels; sing to my Lord with cymbals; tune to him a new psalm; exalt him and call upon his name.\r\n<\/p>

5<\/small><\/span> The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man. Every living thing in the sea died.\r\n<\/p>

6<\/small><\/span> For God breaks the battles. For among the camps, in the midst of the people, he has delivered me out of the hands of those who persecuted me.\r\n<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> The third poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.\r\n<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> Assur came out of the mountains from the north, he came with ten thousands of his army, their great number stopped the torrents and their horsemen covered the hills.\r\n<\/p>

9<\/small><\/span> I heard the angel of the waters saying, \"You are righteous, who are and who were, you Holy One, because you have judged these things.\r\n<\/p>

10<\/small><\/span> He bragged that he would burn up my borders, and kill my young men with the sword, and dash the infants against the ground, and make my young children as a prey, and my virgins as a spoil.\r\n<\/p>

11<\/small><\/span> For they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this.\"\r\n<\/p>

12<\/small><\/span> But the Almighty Lord has disappointed them by the hand of a woman.\r\n<\/p>

13<\/small><\/span> I heard the altar saying, \"Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments.\"\r\n<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> For the mighty one did not fall by the young men, neither did the sons of the Titans strike him, nor did lofty giants set upon him; but Judith the daughter of Merari weakened him with the beauty of her countenance.\r\n<\/p>

15<\/small><\/span> The fourth poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to him to scorch men with fire.\r\n<\/p>

16<\/small><\/span> For she put off the garment of her widowhood, for the exaltation of those who were oppressed in Israel, and anointed her face with ointment, and bound her hair in a headdress, and put on a linen garment, to deceive him.\r\n<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> People were scorched with great heat, and people blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues. They didn't repent and give him glory.\r\n<\/p>

18<\/small><\/span> Her sandals ravished his eyes; her beauty took his mind prisoner; and the broadsword passed through his neck.\r\n<\/p>

19<\/small><\/span> The fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was darkened. They gnawed their tongues because of the pain,\r\n<\/p>

20<\/small><\/span> The Persians quaked at her boldness; and the Medes were daunted by her hardiness.\r\n<\/p>

21<\/small><\/span> and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores. They didn't repent of their works.\r\n<\/p>

22<\/small><\/span> Then my afflicted shouted for joy and my weak ones cried aloud. But they were astonished; these lifted up their voices, but they were overthrown.\r\n<\/p>

23<\/small><\/span> The sixth poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates. Its water was dried up, that the way might be prepared for the kings that come from the sunrise.\r\n<\/p>

24<\/small><\/span> The sons of the gentlewomen have pierced them through and wounded them as fugitives' children; they perished by the battle of the Lord.\r\n<\/p>

25<\/small><\/span> I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, something like frogs;\r\n<\/p>

26<\/small><\/span> I will sing to the Lord a new song. O Lord, you are great and glorious, wonderful in strength, and invincible.\r\n<\/p>

27<\/small><\/span> for they are spirits of demons, performing signs; which go forth to the kings of the whole inhabited earth, to gather them together for the war of that great day of God, the Almighty.\r\n<\/p>

28<\/small><\/span> Let all creatures serve you. For you spoke and they were made; you sent forth your spirit and it created them; and there is none who can resist your voice.\r\n<\/p>

29<\/small><\/span> \"Behold, I come like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his clothes, so that he doesn't walk naked, and they see his shame.\"\r\n<\/p>

30<\/small><\/span> For the mountains will be moved from their foundations with the waters; the rocks will melt like wax at your presence. Yet you are merciful to those who fear you.\r\n<\/p>

31<\/small><\/span> He gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew, Megiddo.\r\n<\/p>

32<\/small><\/span> For all sacrifice is too little to be a sweet fragrance for you and all the fat is not sufficient for your burnt offering, but he who fears the Lord is great at all times.\r\n<\/p>

33<\/small><\/span> The seventh poured out his bowl into the air. A loud voice came forth out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, \"It is done!\"\r\n<\/p>

34<\/small><\/span> Woe to the nations who rise up against my kindred! The Lord Almighty will take vengeance upon them on the Day of Judgment by putting fire and worms in their flesh; and they will feel them and will weep for ever.\"\r\n<\/p>

35<\/small><\/span> There were lightnings, sounds, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men on the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty.\r\n<\/p>

36<\/small><\/span> Now as soon as they entered into Jerusalem, they worshipped the Lord; and as soon as the people were purified, they offered their burnt offerings and their free offerings and their gifts.\r\n<\/p>

37<\/small><\/span> The great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.\r\n<\/p>

38<\/small><\/span> Judith also dedicated all the belongings of Holofernes, which the people had given her, and she gave the canopy, which she had taken out of his bedroom, as a gift to the Lord.\r\n<\/p>

39<\/small><\/span> Every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.\r\n<\/p>

40<\/small><\/span> So the people continued feasting in Jerusalem before the sanctuary for the space of three months; and Judith remained with them.\r\n<\/p>

41<\/small><\/span> Great hailstones, about the weight of a talent, came down out of the sky on people. People blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for this plague is exceedingly severe.\r\n<\/p>
