1
 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left
us
of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2
 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard
it.
3
 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4
 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh
day
on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5
 And in this
place
again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6
 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7
 again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, Today, after so long a time; as it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8
 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9
 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10
 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God
did
from his.
11
 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
12
 For the word of God
is
quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and
is
a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13
 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things
are
naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14
 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast
our
profession.
15
 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as
we are, yet
without sin.
16
 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

 O L
ORD
, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
25
Â
So is
this great and wide sea, wherein
are
things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
26
 There go the ships:
there is
that leviathan,
whom
thou hast made to play therein.
27
 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give
them
their meat in due season.
28
Â
That
thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
29
 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
30
 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31
 The glory of the L
ORD
shall endure for ever: the L
ORD
shall rejoice in his works.
32
 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
33
 I will sing unto the L
ORD
as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34
 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the L
ORD
.
35
 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the L
ORD
, O my soul. Praise ye the L
ORD
.
27
 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
1
 Moreover the word of the L
ORD
came unto me [Ezekiel], saying,
2
 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord G
OD
unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
3
 Now
is
the end
come
upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
4
 And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I
am
the L
ORD
.
5
 Thus saith the Lord G
OD
; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
6
 An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.
7
 The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble
is
near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
8
 Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations.
9
 And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations
that
are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I
am
the L
ORD
that smiteth.
10
 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
11
 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them
shall remain,
nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither
shall there be
wailing for them.
12
 The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath
is
upon all the multitude thereof.
13
 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision
is
touching the whole multitude thereof,
which
shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
14
 They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath
is
upon all the multitude thereof.
15
 The sword
is
without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that
is
in the field shall die with the sword; and he that
is
in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16
 But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.
17
 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak
as
water.
18
 They shall also gird
themselves
with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame
shall be
upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
19
 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the L
ORD
: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
20
 As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations
and
of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.
21
 And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
22
 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret
place:
for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
23
 Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
24
 Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.
25
 Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and
there shall be
none.
26
 Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
27
 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I
am
the L
ORD
.
8:
1
 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth
month,
in the fifth
day
of the month,
as
I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord G
OD
fell there upon me.
2
 Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.
3
 And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where
was
the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
4
 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel
was
there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
5
 Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
6
 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do?
even
the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again,
and
thou shalt see greater abominations.
7
 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
8
 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
9
 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
10
 So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.
11
 And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
12
 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The L
ORD
seeth us not; the L
ORD
hath forsaken the earth.
13
 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again,
and
thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
14
 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the L
ORD
's house which
was
toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
15
 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen
this,
O son of man? turn thee yet again,
and
thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
16
 And he brought me into the inner court of the L
ORD
's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the L
ORD
, between the porch and the altar,
were
about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the L
ORD
, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
17
 Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen
this,
O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
18
 Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice,
yet
will I not hear them.
9:
1
 He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man
with
his destroying weapon in his hand.
2
 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them
was
clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
3
 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which
had
the writer's inkhorn by his side;
4
 and the L
ORD
said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
5
 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
6
 slay utterly old
and
young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom
is
the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which
were
before the house.
7
 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
8
 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord G
OD
! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
9
 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah
is
exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The L
ORD
hath forsaken the earth, and the L
ORD
seeth not.
10
 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity,
but
I will recompense their way upon their head.
11
 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which
had
the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
