1
 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2
 and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3
 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4
 neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5
 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6
 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7
 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8
 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now
are ye
light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9
 (for the fruit of the Spirit
is
in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10
 proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11
 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove
them.
12
 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13
 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14
 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15
 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16
 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17
 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord
is.
18
 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19
 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20
 giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21
 submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22
 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23
 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24
 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so
let
the wives
be
to their own husbands in every thing.
25
 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26
 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27
 that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28
 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29
 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30
 for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31
 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32
 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
33
 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife
see
that she reverence
her
husband.
19
 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries
are
all before thee.
20
 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked
for some
to take pity, but
there was
none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21
 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22
 Let their table become a snare before them: and
that which should have been
for
their
welfare,
let it become
a trap.
23
 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24
 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
25
 Let their habitation be desolate;
and
let none dwell in their tents.
26
 For they persecute
him
whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
27
 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
28
 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
29
 But I
am
poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30
 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31
Â
This
also shall please the L
ORD
better than an ox
or
bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
32
 The humble shall see
this, and
be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
33
 For the L
ORD
heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
34
 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
35
 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
36
 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
7
 Wisdom
is
too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
1
 Sing, O barren, thou
that
didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou
that
didst not travail with child: for more
are
the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the L
ORD
.
2
 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
3
 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4
 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
5
 For thy Maker
is
thine husband; the L
ORD
of hosts
is
his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
6
 For the L
ORD
hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.
7
 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
8
 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the L
ORD
thy Redeemer.
9
 For this
is as
the waters of Noah unto me: for
as
I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
10
 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the L
ORD
that hath mercy on thee.
11
 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest,
and
not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
12
 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.
13
 And all thy children
shall be
taught of the L
ORD
; and great
shall be
the peace of thy children.
14
 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.
15
 Behold, they shall surely gather together,
but
not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.
16
 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
17
 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue
that
shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This
is
the heritage of the servants of the L
ORD
, and their righteousness
is
of me, saith the L
ORD
.
55:
1
 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2
 Wherefore do ye spend money for
that which is
not bread? and your labour for
that which
satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye
that which is
good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3
 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
even
the sure mercies of David.
4
 Behold, I have given him
for
a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
5
 Behold, thou shalt call a nation
that
thou knowest not, and nations
that
knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the L
ORD
thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.
6
 Seek ye the L
ORD
while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7
 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the L
ORD
, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8
 For my thoughts
are
not your thoughts, neither
are
your ways my ways, saith the L
ORD
.
9
 For
as
the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10
 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11
 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper
in the thing
whereto I sent it.
12
 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap
their
hands.
13
 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the L
ORD
for a name, for an everlasting sign
that
shall not be cut off.
56:
1
 Thus saith the L
ORD
, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation
is
near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2
 Blessed
is
the man
that
doeth this, and the son of man
that
layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
3
 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the L
ORD
, speak, saying, The L
ORD
hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I
am
a dry tree.
4
 For thus saith the L
ORD
unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose
the things
that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5
 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6
 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the L
ORD
, to serve him, and to love the name of the L
ORD
, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7
 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
shall be
accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
8
 The Lord G
OD
which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather
others
to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
9
 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour,
yea,
all ye beasts in the forest.
10
 His watchmen
are
blind: they are all ignorant, they
are
all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11
 Yea,
they are
greedy dogs
which
can never have enough, and they
are
shepherds
that
cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12
 Come ye,
say they,
I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day,
and
much more abundant.
57:
1
 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth
it
to heart: and merciful men
are
taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil
to come.
2
 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds,
each one
walking
in
his uprightness.
3
 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
4
 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth,
and
draw out the tongue?
are
ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
5
 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?
6
 Among the smooth
stones
of the stream
is
thy portion; they, they
are
thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
7
 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
8
 Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered
thyself to another
than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee
a covenant
with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest
it.
9
 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase
thyself even
unto hell.
10
 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way;
yet
saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
11
 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid
it
to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?
12
 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.
13
 When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take
them:
but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
14
 And [the one who puts trust in the L
ORD
] shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling block out of the way of my people.
