19
 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20
 for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21
 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22
 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23
 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24
 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25
 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth
therein,
he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26
 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion
is
vain.
27
 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction,
and
to keep himself unspotted from the world.
2:
1
 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Lord
of glory, with respect of persons.
2
 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
3
 and ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
4
 are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
5
 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
6
 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
7
 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
8
 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9
 but if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
10
 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one
point,
he is guilty of all.
11
 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12
 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
13
 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
14
 What
doth it
profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15
 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16
 and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be
ye
warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what
doth it
profit?
17
 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
1
 O Praise the L
ORD
, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
2
 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the L
ORD
endureth
for ever. Praise ye the L
ORD
.
1
 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
1
 Therefore, thou [Ezekiel] son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord G
OD
; Behold, I
am
against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
2
 and I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3
 and I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4
 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that
is
with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and
to
the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5
 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken
it,
saith the Lord G
OD
.
6
 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I
am
the L
ORD
.
7
 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not
let them
pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I
am
the L
ORD
, the Holy One in Israel.
8
 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord G
OD
; this
is
the day whereof I have spoken.
9
 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
10
 so that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down
any
out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord G
OD
.
11
 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that
I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the
noses
of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call
it
The valley of Hamon-gog.
12
 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13
 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury
them;
and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord G
OD
.
14
 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15
 And the passengers
that
pass through the land, when
any
seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog.
16
 And also the name of the city
shall be
Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17
 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord G
OD
; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you,
even
a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18
 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19
 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20
 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord G
OD
.
21
 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22
 So the house of Israel shall know that I
am
the L
ORD
their God from that day and forward.
23
 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
24
 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25
 Therefore thus saith the Lord G
OD
; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
26
 after that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made
them
afraid.
27
 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28
 then shall they know that I
am
the L
ORD
their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29
 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord G
OD
.
40:
1
 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth
day
of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the L
ORD
was upon me, and brought me thither.
2
 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which
was
as the frame of a city on the south.
3
 And he brought me thither, and, behold,
there was
a man, whose appearance
was
like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
4
 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew
them
unto thee
art
thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
5
 And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits
long
by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
6
 Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate,
which was
one reed broad; and the other threshold
of the gate, which was
one reed broad.
7
 And
every
little chamber
was
one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers
were
five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within
was
one reed.
8
 He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
9
 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate
was
inward.
10
 And the little chambers of the gate eastward
were
three on this side, and three on that side; they three
were
of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
11
 And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits;
and
the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
12
 The space also before the little chambers
was
one cubit
on this side,
and the space
was
one cubit on that side: and the little chambers
were
six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
13
 He measured then the gate from the roof of
one
little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth
was
five and twenty cubits, door against door.
14
 He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate.
15
 And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate
were
fifty cubits.
16
 And
there were
narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows
were
round about inward: and upon
each
post
were
palm trees.
17
 Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo,
there were
chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty chambers
were
upon the pavement.
18
 And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates
was
the lower pavement.
19
 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and northward.
20
 And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
21
 And the little chambers thereof
were
three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof
was
fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
22
 And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees,
were
after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof
were
before them.
23
 And the gate of the inner court
was
over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits.
24
 After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures.
25
 And
there were
windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length
was
fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
26
 And
there were
seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof
were
before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.
27
 And
there was
a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.
