 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ,
which is
our hope;
2
 unto Timothy,
my
own son in the faith: Grace, mercy,
and
peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
3
 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
4
 neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith:
so do.
5
 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and
of
a good conscience, and
of
faith unfeigned:
6
 from which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
7
 desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
8
 But we know that the law
is
good, if a man use it lawfully;
9
 knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10
 for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
11
 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
12
 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
13
 who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did
it
ignorantly in unbelief.
14
 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15
 This
is
a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
16
 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
17
 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God,
be
honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
18
 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
19
 holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
20
 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
A Prayer of David.
1
 Bow down thine ear, O L
ORD
, hear me: for I
am
poor and needy.
2
 Preserve my soul; for I
am
holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3
 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
4
 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5
 For thou, Lord,
art
good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6
 Give ear, O L
ORD
, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7
 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
8
 Among the gods
there is
none like unto thee, O Lord; neither
are there any works
like unto thy works.
9
 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
10
 For thou
art
great, and doest wondrous things: thou
art
God alone.
11
 Teach me thy way, O L
ORD
; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12
 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13
 For great
is
thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
14
 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.
15
 But thou, O Lord,
art
a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16
 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17
 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see
it,
and be ashamed: because thou, L
ORD
, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
17
 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and
so
hate thee.
1
 The word that came to Jeremiah from the L
ORD
, saying,
2
 Thus speaketh the L
ORD
God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
3
 For, lo, the days come, saith the L
ORD
, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the L
ORD
: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
4
 And these
are
the words that the L
ORD
spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5
 For thus saith the L
ORD
; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
6
 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
7
 Alas! for that day
is
great, so that none
is
like it: it
is
even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
8
 For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the L
ORD
of hosts,
that
I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
9
 But they shall serve the L
ORD
their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
10
 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the L
ORD
; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make
him
afraid.
11
 For I
am
with thee, saith the L
ORD
, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
12
 For thus saith the L
ORD
, Thy bruise
is
incurable,
and
thy wound
is
grievous.
13
Â
There is
none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.
14
 All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity;
because
thy sins were increased.
15
 Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow
is
incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity:
because
thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.
16
 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.
17
 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the L
ORD
; because they called thee an Outcast,
saying,
This
is
Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
18
 Thus saith the L
ORD
; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.
19
 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
20
 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
21
 And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who
is
this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the L
ORD
.
22
 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
23
 Behold, the whirlwind of the L
ORD
goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
24
 The fierce anger of the L
ORD
shall not return, until he have done
it,
and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.
31:
1
 At the same time, saith the L
ORD
, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
2
 Thus saith the L
ORD
, The people
which were
left of the sword found grace in the wilderness;
even
Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
3
 The L
ORD
hath appeared of old unto me,
saying,
Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
4
 Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
5
 Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat
them
as common things.
6
 For there shall be a day,
that
the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the L
ORD
our God.
7
 For thus saith the L
ORD
; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O L
ORD
, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
8
 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth,
and
with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
9
 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim
is
my firstborn.
10
 Hear the word of the L
ORD
, O ye nations, and declare
it
in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd
doth
his flock.
11
 For the L
ORD
hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of
him that was
stronger than he.
12
 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the L
ORD
, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
13
 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
14
 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the L
ORD
.
15
 Thus saith the L
ORD
; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation,
and
bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they
were
not.
16
 Thus saith the L
ORD
; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the L
ORD
; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
17
 And there is hope in thine end, saith the L
ORD
, that thy children shall come again to their own border.
18
 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself
thus;
Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed
to the yoke:
turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou
art
the L
ORD
my God.
19
 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon
my
thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
20
Â
Is
Ephraim my dear son?
is he
a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the L
ORD
.
21
 Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway,
even
the way
which
thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
22
 How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the L
ORD
hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.
23
 Thus saith the L
ORD
of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The L
ORD
bless thee, O habitation of justice,
and
mountain of holiness.
24
 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they
that
go forth with flocks.
25
 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
26
 Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.
