21
 To have respect of persons
is
not good: for for a piece of bread
that
man will transgress.
22
 He that hasteth to be rich
hath
an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
1
 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream,
and
told the sum of the matters.
2
 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
3
 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
4
 The first
was
like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
5
 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and
it had
three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
6
 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
7
 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it
was
diverse from all the beasts that
were
before it; and it had ten horns.
8
 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn
were
eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
9
 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment
was
white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne
was like
the fiery flame,
and
his wheels
as
burning fire.
10
 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
11
 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld
even
till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
12
 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
13
 I saw in the night visions, and, behold,
one
like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14
 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion
is
an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom
that
which shall not be destroyed.
15
 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of
my
body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
16
 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
17
 These great beasts, which are four,
are
four kings,
which
shall arise out of the earth.
18
 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
19
 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth
were of
iron, and his nails
of
brass;
which
devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
20
 and of the ten horns that
were
in his head, and
of
the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even
of
that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look
was
more stout than his fellows.
21
 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22
 until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
23
 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24
 And the ten horns out of this kingdom
are
ten kings
that
shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
25
 And he shall speak
great
words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
26
 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy
it
unto the end.
27
 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom
is
an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
28
 Hitherto
is
the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
1
 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
2
 (for the life was manifested, and we have seen
it,
and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
3
 that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship
is
with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4
 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
5
 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6
 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7
 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8
 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9
 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us
our
sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10
 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
153
 Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
154
 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.
155
 Salvation
is
far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
156
 Great
are
thy tender mercies, O L
ORD
: quicken me according to thy judgments.
157
 Many
are
my persecutors and mine enemies;
yet
do I not decline from thy testimonies.
158
 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.
159
 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O L
ORD
, according to thy lovingkindness.
160
 Thy word
is
true
from
the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments
endureth
for ever.
161
 Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
162
 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
163
 I hate and abhor lying:
but
thy law do I love.
164
 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.
165
 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
166
 L
ORD
, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.
167
 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
168
 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways
are
before thee.
169
 Let my cry come near before thee, O L
ORD
: give me understanding according to thy word.
170
 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word.
171
 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.
172
 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments
are
righteousness.
173
 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.
174
 I have longed for thy salvation, O L
ORD
; and thy law
is
my delight.
175
 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.
176
 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.
23
 He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
24
 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith,
It is
no transgression; the same
is
the companion of a destroyer.
