Moreover, thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with

Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to
Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in a house of cedars, but the ark of
the covenant of the Lord remaineth under curtains.
Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart ; for God
is with thee.
¶ And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to
Nathan, saying,
Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not
build me a house to dwell in :
for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel
unto this day ; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one
tabernacle to another.
Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast
brought me hitherto ?
And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God ; for thou hast
also spoken of thy servant’s house for a great while to come, and
hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O
Lord God.

For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him

thee.
And now, Lord, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness
unto thy servant :

shall be blessed for ever.

is good in his sight.
¶ And God was displeased with this thing ; therefore he smote
Israel.
And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have
done this thing : but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of
thy servant ; for I have done very foolishly.
And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it : and as he was
destroying, the Lord beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and
said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand.
And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to
be numbered ? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed ;
but as for these sheep, what have they done ? let thine hand, I pray
thee, O Lord my God, be on me, and on my father’s house ; but
not on thy people, that they should be plagued.

surely now he would awake for thee,

and hath compassed me with his net.

Why do ye persecute me as God,
and are not satisfied with my flesh ?
Oh that my words were now written !
Oh that they were printed in a book !
That they were graven with an iron pen and lead
in the rock for ever !
For I know that my Redeemer liveth,
and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth :
and though after my skin worms destroy this body,
yet in my flesh shall I see God :
whom I shall see for myself,
and mine eyes shall behold, and not another ;

Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous ?
Or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect ?
Will he reprove thee for fear of thee ?
Will he enter with thee into judgment ?
Is not thy wickedness great ?
and thine iniquities infinite ?
For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought,
and stripped the naked of their clothing.
Is not God in the height of heaven ?
And behold the height of the stars, how high they are !
And thou sayest, How doth God know ?
Can he judge through the dark cloud ?
Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not ;
and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.

For what portion of God is there from above ?

If I have walked with vanity,
or if my foot hath hasted to deceit ;
let me be weighed in an even balance,
that God may know mine integrity.
that God may know mine integrity.

And when he visiteth, what shall I answer him ?
Did not he that made me in the womb make him ?
And did not one fashion us in the womb ?
If I have withheld the poor from their desire,
or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail ;
or have eaten my morsel myself alone,
and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof ;
(for from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father,
and I have guided her from my mother’s womb ;)
if I have seen any perish for want of clothing,
or any poor without covering ;
if his loins have not blessed me,
and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep ;
if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless,
when I saw my help in the gate :
then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade,
and mine arm be broken from the bone.
For destruction from God was a terror to me,
and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
for I should have denied the God that is above.
because he justified himself rather than God.
God thrusteth him down, not man.

Hear my words, O ye wise men ;

and God hath taken away my judgment.
that he should delight himself with God.
far be it from God, that he should do wickedness ;
and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
Yea, surely God will not do wickedly,
neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
that he should enter into judgment with God.
Surely it is meet to be said unto God,
I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more :
that which I see not teach thou me :
if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
and multiplieth his words against God.
that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s ?
For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee ?
and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin ?
I will answer thee,
and thy companions with thee.
But none saith, Where is God my maker,
who giveth songs in the night ;
who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth,
and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven ?
There they cry, but none giveth answer,
because of the pride of evil men.
Surely God will not hear vanity,
neither will the Almighty regard it.

Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any :
he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
Behold, God exalteth by his power :

Or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity ?
Remember that thou magnify his work,
which men behold.
Behold, God is great, and we know him not,
neither can the number of his years be searched out.

stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
Dost thou know when God disposed them,
and caused the light of his cloud to shine ?
Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds,
the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge ?
how thy garments are warm,
when he quieteth the earth by the south wind ?
Hast thou with him spread out the sky,
which is strong, and as a molten looking-glass ?
Teach us what we shall say unto him ;
for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
with God is terrible majesty.
and all the sons of God shouted for joy ?
Or who shut up the sea with doors,
when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb ?
When I made the cloud the garment thereof,
and thick darkness a swaddling band for it,
and brake up for it my decreed place,
and set bars and doors,
and said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further :
and here shall thy proud waves be stayed ?
Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days ;
and caused the dayspring to know his place ;
that it might take hold of the ends of the earth,
that the wicked might be shaken out of it ?
It is turned as clay to the seal ;

A Psalm of David.
O God of my righteousness :
thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress ;
have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
my King, and my God :
for unto thee will I pray.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness :
neither shall evil dwell with thee.
Destroy thou them, O God ;
let them fall by their own counsels ;
cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions ;
for they have rebelled against thee.
O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust :
save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me :
lest he tear my soul like a lion,
rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
O Lord my God, if I have done this ;
if there be iniquity in my hands ;
if I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me ;
(yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy ;)
let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it ;
yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth,
and lay mine honor in the dust.
for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
My defense is of God,
which saveth the upright in heart.
God judgeth the righteous,
and God is angry with the wicked every day.

and all the nations that forget God.
will not seek after God :
God is not in all his thoughts.
God is not in all his thoughts.
He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten :
he hideth his face ; he will never see it.
Arise, O Lord ; O God, lift up thine hand :
forget not the humble.
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God ?
He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
Consider and hear me, O Lord my God :
lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death ;
lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him ;
and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
There is no God.
to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
for God is in the generation of the righteous.
The Inhabitants of God’s Holy Hill
A Psalm of David.
Preserve me, O God :
for in thee do I put my trust.

incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
my God, my strength, in whom I will trust ;
my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
and cried unto my God :
he heard my voice out of his temple,
and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
and have not wickedly departed from my God.
the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
As for God, his way is perfect :
the word of the Lord is tried :
he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
For who is God save the Lord ?
Or who is a rock save our God ?
It is God that girdeth me with strength,
and maketh my way perfect.

and subdueth the people under me.

and thou hast healed me.

I said, Thou art my God.

and let them not rejoice over me.

even praise unto our God :
many shall see it, and fear,
and shall trust in the Lord.
Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast
done,
and thy thoughts which are to us-ward :
they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee :
if I would declare and speak of them,
they are more than can be numbered.
I delight to do thy will, O my God :
yea, thy law is within my heart.
make no tarrying, O my God.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel

For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

For God is the King of all the earth :
sing ye praises with understanding.

for the shields of the earth belong unto God :
he is greatly exalted.

But unto the wicked God saith,
What hast thou to do to declare my statutes,

and castest my words behind thee.
Now consider this, ye that forget God,

they have not called upon God.
for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against
thee :
thou hast put them to shame,
because God hath despised them.

When God bringeth back the captivity of his people,
Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
Save me, O God, by thy name,
and judge me by thy strength.
Hear my prayer, O God ;
give ear to the words of my mouth.
they have not set God before them.
Behold, God is mine helper :
the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
Give ear to my prayer, O God ;
and hide not thyself from my supplication.
and walked unto the house of God in company.
As for me, I will call upon God ;
and the Lord shall save me.

even he that abideth of old.
therefore they fear not God.
But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of
destruction :

An Appeal to God against the Enemy
Maschil of Asaph.
O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever ?
Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture ?
Remember thy congregation,
which thou hast purchased of old ;
the rod of thine inheritance,
which thou hast redeemed ;
this mount Zion,
wherein thou hast dwelt.
they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
O God, how long shall the adversary reproach ?
Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever ?

Pluck it out of thy bosom.
For God is my King of old,
working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Arise, O God, plead thine own cause :
remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
God Abases the Wicked and Exalts the Righteous
To the chief Musician, Altaschith,
A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks,
unto thee do we give thanks :
for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
But God is the judge :
he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
The God of Victory and Judgment
To the chief Musician on Neginoth,
A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
In Judah is God known :
his name is great in Israel.
At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob,
both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
when God arose to judgment,
to save all the meek of the earth.
Vow, and pay unto the Lord your God :
let all that be round about him bring presents
unto him that ought to be feared.
Comfort from Recalling God’s Mighty Deeds
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun,
A Psalm of Asaph.
I cried unto God with my voice,
even unto God with my voice ;
and he gave ear unto me.
even unto God with my voice ;
and he gave ear unto me.
I remembered God, and was troubled :
I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed.
Hath God forgotten to be gracious ?
Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies ?

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary :
who is so great a God as our God ?
Thou art the God that doest wonders :

God’s Faithfulness to His Unfaithful People
Maschil of Asaph.
that they might set their hope in God,
and not forget the works of God,
but keep his commandments :
and might not be as their fathers,
a stubborn and rebellious generation ;
a generation that set not their heart aright,
and whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

but keep his commandments :
and might not be as their fathers,
a stubborn and rebellious generation ;
a generation that set not their heart aright,
and whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
and whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
They kept not the covenant of God,
and refused to walk in his law ;
and forgat his works,
and his wonders that he had showed them.
And they tempted God in their heart
by asking meat for their lust.
Yea, they spake against God ;
they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness ?
Behold, he smote the rock,
that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed ;
can he give bread also ?
Can he provide flesh for his people ?
Therefore the Lord heard this, and was wroth :
so a fire was kindled against Jacob,
and anger also came up against Israel ;
because they believed not in God,
and trusted not in his salvation :
though he had commanded the clouds from above,
and opened the doors of heaven,
and had rained down manna upon them to eat,
and had given them of the corn of heaven.

the wrath of God came upon them,
and slew the fattest of them,
and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
and they returned and inquired early after God.
And they remembered that God was their rock,
and the high God their redeemer.
and the high God their redeemer.
Yea, they turned back and tempted God,
and limited the Holy One of Israel.
Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God,
and kept not his testimonies :
but turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers :
they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
When God heard this, he was wroth,
and greatly abhorred Israel :
so that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,
the tent which he placed among men ;
and delivered his strength into captivity,
and his glory into the enemy’s hand.
O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance ;
thy holy temple have they defiled ;
they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
Help us, O God of our salvation,
for the glory of thy name :
and deliver us, and purge away our sins,
for thy name’s sake.
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God ?
Let him be known among the heathen in our sight
by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.
Turn us again, O God,
and cause thy face to shine ;
and we shall be saved.
O Lord God of hosts,
how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people ?
Thou feedest them with the bread of tears ;
and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
Turn us again, O God of hosts,
and cause thy face to shine ;
and we shall be saved.
Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts :
look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine ;
and the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted,
and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts,
cause thy face to shine ;
and we shall be saved.
God’s Goodness and Israel’s Waywardness
To the chief Musician upon Gittith,
A Psalm of Asaph.
Sing aloud unto God our strength :
make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
and a law of the God of Jacob.
I am the Lord thy God,
which brought thee out of the land of Egypt :

God standeth in the congregation of the mighty ;
he judgeth among the gods.
Arise, O God, judge the earth :

Keep not thou silence, O God :

Behold, O God our shield,

I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
For the Lord God is a sun and shield :
the Lord will give grace and glory :
no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
A Prayer for God’s Mercy on Israel
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
Turn us, O God of our salvation,
and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
I will hear what God the Lord will speak :
for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints :
but let them not turn again to folly.
A Prayer for God’s Continued Mercy
A Prayer of David.
O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
thou art God alone.
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart :
and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
O God, the proud are risen against me,
and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul ;
and have not set thee before them.
But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious,
long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
O city of God.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens :

God hath spoken in his holiness ;
I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem,

Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off ?
And wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts ?
Give us help from trouble :

And wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts ?

Ah Lord God ! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by
thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too

thou showest loving-kindness unto thousands, and recompensest
the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after
them : The Great, The Mighty God, The Lord of hosts, is his name ;
great in counsel, and mighty in work : for thine eyes are open upon
all the ways of the sons of men, to give every one according to his
ways, and according to the fruit of his doings :
which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto
this day, and in Israel, and among other men ; and hast made thee a

fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey ;

neither walked in thy law ; they have done nothing of all that thou

come upon them.
And thou hast said unto me, O Lord God, Buy thee the field for
money, and take witnesses ; for the city is given into the hand of the
Chaldeans.
Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh : is there any thing too
hard for me ?
Therefore thus saith the Lord ; Behold, I will give this city into the
hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king
of Babylon, and he shall take it :
and the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set
fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they
have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings
unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.
¶ And now therefore thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel,
concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the
hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and
by the pestilence ;
Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have
driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath ; and
I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to
dwell safely :
and they shall be my people, and I will be their God :
and I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me
for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them :
and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not
turn away from them, to do them good ; but I will put my fear in
their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
and they shall be my people, and I will be their God :
and I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me

and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not
turn away from them, to do them good ; but I will put my fear in
their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
For thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses
of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which
are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword ;
They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with
the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in
my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this
city.
Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel ; Go and speak to Zedekiah
king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord ; Behold, I will
give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall
burn it with fire :
and thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken,
and delivered into his hand ; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of

Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door :

¶ Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God
of hosts, the God of Israel ; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the
king of Babylon’s princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall
not be burned with fire ; and thou shalt live, and thine house :
but if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, then

evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of
Judah ; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man
dwelleth therein ;
because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke
me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other
gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers.
Therefore now thus saith the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of

off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to
leave you none to remain ;
in that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands,
burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye
be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might
be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth ?
Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the
wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their

They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared,

saith the Lord God,)
that thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made
thee a high place in every street.
¶ How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord God, seeing thou doest
all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman ;
in that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way,
and makest thine high place in every street ; and hast not been as a
harlot, in that thou scornest hire ;
but as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers
instead of her husband !
They give gifts to all whores : but thou givest thy gifts to all thy
lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every
side for thy whoredom.
Thus saith the Lord God ; Because thy filthiness was poured out,
and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy
lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood
of thy children, which thou didst give unto them ;
behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast
taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that
thou hast hated ; I will even gather them round about against thee,
and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all
thy nakedness.
recompense thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord God : and
thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations.
As I live, saith the Lord God, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she
nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
¶ For thus saith the Lord God ; I will even deal with thee as thou
hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God.
and say, Thus saith the Lord God ; A great eagle with great wings,
long-winged, full of feathers, which had divers colors, came unto
Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar :
he cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land
of traffic ; he set it in a city of merchants.
Say thou, Thus saith the Lord God ; Shall it prosper ? shall he not
pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it
wither ? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without
great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof.
As I live, saith the Lord God, surely in the place where the king
dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose
covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall
die.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God ; As I live, surely mine oath that
he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it
will I recompense upon his own head.
¶ Thus saith the Lord God ; I will also take of the highest branch of
the high cedar, and will set it ; I will crop off from the top of his
young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon a high mountain
and eminent :
in the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it : and it shall
bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar : and
under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing ; in the shadow of the
branches thereof shall they dwell.
As I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall not have occasion any more to
use this proverb in Israel.

And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth

of the Lord, and sat before me.
Thus saith the Lord God ; Are ye come to inquire of me ? As I live,
saith the Lord God, I will not be inquired of by you.
saith the Lord God, I will not be inquired of by you.

Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt,

Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God ;
Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers ? and commit ye
whoredom after their abominations ?
For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass
through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even

Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in
the death of the wicked ; but that the wicked turn from his way and
live : turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways ; for why will ye die, O
house of Israel ?
Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people,
The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day
of his transgression : as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall
not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness ;
neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the
day that he sinneth.

Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile

Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves ! should
not the shepherds feed the flocks ?
Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are
fed : but ye feed not the flock.
As I live, saith the Lord God, surely because my flock became a
prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because
there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my
flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock ;
therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord ;
Thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I am against the shepherds ; and I
will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from
feeding the flock ; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any
more ; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may
not be meat for them.

will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.
And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a prince

therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to
thine anger, and according to thine envy, which thou hast used out
of thy hatred against them ; and I will make myself known among
them, when I have judged thee.
Thus saith the Lord God ; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will

Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:

Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they

establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves

For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now
obtained mercy through their unbelief :

they also may obtain mercy.
