1
 For the law having a shadow of good things to come,
and
not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
2
 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
3
 But in those
sacrifices there is
a remembrance again
made
of sins every year.
4
 For
it is
not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
5
 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
6
 in burnt offerings and
sacrifices
for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
7
 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
8
 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and
offering
for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure
therein;
which are offered by the law;
9
 then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
10
 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once
for all.
11
 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12
 but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13
 from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14
 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15
Â
Whereof
the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16
 This
is
the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17
 and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18
 Now where remission of these
is, there is
no more offering for sin.
A Song
or
Psalm of David.
1
 O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2
 Awake, psaltery and harp: I
myself
will awake early.
3
 I will praise thee, O L
ORD
, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4
 For thy mercy
is
great above the heavens: and thy truth
reacheth
unto the clouds.
5
 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
6
 That thy beloved may be delivered: save
with
thy right hand, and answer me.
7
 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8
 Gilead
is
mine; Manasseh
is
mine; Ephraim also
is
the strength of mine head; Judah
is
my lawgiver;
9
 Moab
is
my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10
 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11
Â
Wilt
not
thou,
O God,
who
hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12
 Give us help from trouble: for vain
is
the help of man.
13
 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he
it is that
shall tread down our enemies.
12
 A prudent
man
foreseeth the evil,
and
hideth himself;
but
the simple pass on,
and
are punished.
1
 The word of the L
ORD
came again unto me [Ezekiel], saying,
2
 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
3
 and they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.
4
 And the names of them
were
Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus
were
their names; Samaria
is
Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.
5
 And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians
her
neighbours,
6
Â
which were
clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
7
 Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them
that were
the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.
8
 Neither left she her whoredoms
brought
from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.
9
 Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
10
 These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had executed judgment upon her.
11
 And when her sister Aholibah saw
this,
she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in
her
whoredoms.
12
 She doted upon the Assyrians
her
neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.
13
 Then I saw that she was defiled,
that
they
took
both one way,
14
 and
that
she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion,
15
 girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:
16
 and as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
17
 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them.
18
 So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.
19
 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
20
 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh
is as
the flesh of asses, and whose issue
is like
the issue of horses.
21
 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.
22
 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord G
OD
; Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side;
23
 the Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa,
and
all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.
24
 And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people,
which
shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.
25
 And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.
26
 They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.
27
 Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom
brought
from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.
28
 For thus saith the Lord G
OD
; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand
of them
whom thou hatest, into the hand
of them
from whom thy mind is alienated:
29
 and they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
30
 I will do these
things
unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen,
and
because thou art polluted with their idols.
31
 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand.
32
 Thus saith the Lord G
OD
; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much.
33
 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
34
 Thou shalt even drink it and suck
it
out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken
it,
saith the Lord G
OD
.
35
 Therefore thus saith the Lord G
OD
; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
36
 The L
ORD
said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations;
37
 that they have committed adultery, and blood
is
in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through
the fire,
to devour
them.
38
 Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.
39
 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.
40
 And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger
was
sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments,
41
 and satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil.
42
 And a voice of a multitude being at ease
was
with her: and with the men of the common sort
were
brought Sabeans from the wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.
43
 Then said I unto
her that was
old in adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she
with them?
44
 Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women.
45
 And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because they
are
adulteresses, and blood
is
in their hands.
46
 For thus saith the Lord G
OD
; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled.
47
 And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
48
 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
49
 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I
am
the Lord G
OD
.
