1
 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2
 speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3
 forbidding to marry,
and commanding
to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4
 For every creature of God
is
good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5
 for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
6
 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
7
 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself
rather
unto godliness.
8
 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
9
 This
is
a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
10
 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
11
 These things command and teach.
12
 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13
 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
14
 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
15
 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
16
 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.
1
 I will sing of the mercies of the L
ORD
for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
2
 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
3
 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
4
 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
5
 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O L
ORD
: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
6
 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the L
ORD
?
who
among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the L
ORD
?
7
 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all
them that are
about him.
8
 O L
ORD
God of hosts, who
is
a strong L
ORD
like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
9
 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
10
 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
11
 The heavens
are
thine, the earth also
is
thine:
as for
the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
12
 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
13
 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand,
and
high is thy right hand.
23
 The north wind driveth away rain: so
doth
an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.

It is
better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
1
 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the L
ORD
in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
2
 Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the L
ORD
, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.
3
 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;
4
 and I brought them into the house of the L
ORD
, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which
was
by the chamber of the princes, which
was
above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:
5
 and I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine.
6
 But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine,
neither ye,
nor your sons for ever:
7
 neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have
any:
but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye
be
strangers.
8
 Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;
9
 nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
10
 but we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
11
 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem.
12
 Then came the word of the L
ORD
unto Jeremiah, saying,
13
 Thus saith the L
ORD
of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the L
ORD
.
14
 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me.
15
 I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending
them,
saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.
16
 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened unto me:
17
 therefore thus saith the L
ORD
God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered.
18
 And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the L
ORD
of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you:
19
 therefore thus saith the L
ORD
of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.
36:
1
 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah,
that
this word came unto Jeremiah from the L
ORD
, saying,
2
 Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.
3
 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
4
 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the L
ORD
, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
5
 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I
am
shut up; I cannot go into the house of the L
ORD
:
6
 therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the L
ORD
in the ears of the people in the L
ORD
's house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.
7
 It may be they will present their supplication before the L
ORD
, and will return every one from his evil way: for great
is
the anger and the fury that the L
ORD
hath pronounced against this people.
8
 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the L
ORD
in the L
ORD
's house.
9
 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month,
that
they proclaimed a fast before the L
ORD
to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.
10
 Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the L
ORD
, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the L
ORD
's house, in the ears of all the people.
11
 When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the L
ORD
,
12
 then he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there,
even
Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
13
 Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
14
 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.
15
 And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read
it
in their ears.
16
 Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.
17
 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?
18
 Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote
them
with ink in the book.
19
 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be.
20
 And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king.
21
 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king.
22
 Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and
there was a fire
on the hearth burning before him.
23
 And it came to pass,
that
when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast
it
into the fire that
was
on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that
was
on the hearth.
24
 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments,
neither
the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
25
 Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them.
26
 But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the L
ORD
hid them.
27
 Then the word of the L
ORD
came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
28
 Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.
29
 And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the L
ORD
; Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?
30
 Therefore thus saith the L
ORD
of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
31
 And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not.
32
 Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words.
