56
 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
57
 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
58
 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
59
 When God heard
this,
he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
60
 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent
which
he placed among men;
61
 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.
62
 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
63
 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
64
 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
65
 Then the L
ORD
awaked as one out of sleep,
and
like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
66
 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
67
 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
68
 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
69
 And he built his sanctuary like high
palaces,
like the earth which he hath established for ever.
70
 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
71
 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
72
 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
24
 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
1
 And this
is
the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2
 And he said,
The L
ORD
came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand
went
a fiery law for them.
3
 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints
are
in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet;
every one
shall receive of thy words.
4
 Moses commanded us a law,
even
the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
5
 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people
and
the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
6
 Let Reuben live, and not die; and let
not
his men be few.
7
 And this
is the blessing
of Judah: and he said, Hear, L
ORD
, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help
to him
from his enemies.
8
 And of Levi he said,
Let
thy Thummim and thy Urim
be
with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah,
and with
whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
9
 Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.
10
 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
11
 Bless, L
ORD
, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
12
Â
And
of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the L
ORD
shall dwell in safety by him;
and the L
ORD
shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
13
 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the L
ORD
be
his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
14
 And for the precious fruits
brought forth
by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
15
 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,
16
 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and
for
the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let
the blessing
come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him
that was
separated from his brethren.
17
 His glory
is like
the firstling of his bullock, and his horns
are like
the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they
are
the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they
are
the thousands of Manasseh.
18
 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.
19
 They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck
of
the abundance of the seas, and
of
treasures hid in the sand.
20
 And of Gad he said, Blessed
be
he that enlargeth Gad; he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.
21
 And he provided the first part for himself, because there,
in
a portion of the lawgiver,
was he
seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the L
ORD
, and his judgments with Israel.
22
 And of Dan he said, Dan
is
a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
23
 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the L
ORD
: possess thou the west and the south.
24
 And of Asher he said,
Let
Asher
be
blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25
 Thy shoes
shall be
iron and brass; and as thy days,
so shall
thy strength
be.
26
Â
There is
none like unto the God of Jeshurun,
who
rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
27
 The eternal God
is thy
refuge, and underneath
are
the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy
them.
28
 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob
shall be
upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.
29
 Happy
art
thou, O Israel: who
is
like unto thee, O people saved by the L
ORD
, the shield of thy help, and who
is
the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
1
 There were present at that season some that told him [Jesus] of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2
 And Jesus answering said unto them,
Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
3
Â
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
4
Â
Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5
Â
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
6
 He spake also this parable;
A certain
man
had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
7
Â
Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
8
Â
And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung
it:
9
Â
and if it bear fruit,
well:
and if not,
then
after that thou shalt cut it down.
10
 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
11
 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up
herself.
12
 And when Jesus saw her, he called
her to him,
and said unto her,
Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13
 And he laid
his
hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14
 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
15
 The Lord then answered him, and said,
Thou
hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or
his
ass from the stall, and lead
him
away to watering?
16
Â
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
17
 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18
 Then said he,
Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
19
Â
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
20
 And again he said,
Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21
Â
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
65
 Then the L
ORD
awaked as one out of sleep,
and
like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
66
 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
67
 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
68
 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
69
 And he built his sanctuary like high
palaces,
like the earth which he hath established for ever.
70
 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
71
 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
72
 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
25
 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.
