7
 But when he [John the Baptist] saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8
 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
9
 and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to
our
father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
10
 And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
11
 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and
with
fire:
12
 whose fan
is
in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
13
 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14
 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15
 And Jesus answering said unto him,
Suffer
it to be so
now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness.
Then he suffered him.
16
 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
17
 and lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
4:
1
 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2
 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3
 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4
 But he answered and said,
It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5
 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6
 and saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in
their
hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7
 Jesus said unto him,
It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8
 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9
 and saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10
 Then saith Jesus unto him,
Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11
 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
1
 L
ORD
, how are they increased that trouble me! many
are
they that rise up against me.
2
 Many
there be
which say of my soul,
There is
no help for him in God. Selah.
3
 But thou, O L
ORD
,
art
a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4
 I cried unto the L
ORD
with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5
 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the L
ORD
sustained me.
6
 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set
themselves
against me round about.
7
 Arise, O L
ORD
; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies
upon
the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8
 Salvation
belongeth
unto the L
ORD
: thy blessing
is
upon thy people. Selah.
10
 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11
 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12
 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13
 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14
 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
15
 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16
 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17
 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18
 And they lay wait for their
own
blood; they lurk privily for their
own
lives.
19
 So
are
the ways of every one that is greedy of gain;
which
taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
1
 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that
was
with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
2
 the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3
 and the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
4
 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5
 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth
month,
on the first
day
of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
6
 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
7
 and he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8
 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
9
 but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters
were
on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
10
 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11
 and the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth
was
an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12
 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
13
 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first
month,
the first
day
of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
14
 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
15
 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16
 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17
 Bring forth with thee every living thing that
is
with thee, of all flesh,
both
of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18
 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
19
 every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl,
and
whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
20
 And Noah builded an altar unto the L
ORD
; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21
 And the L
ORD
smelled a sweet savour; and the L
ORD
said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart
is
evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
22
 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
9:
1
 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2
 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth
upon
the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3
 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4
 But flesh with the life thereof,
which is
the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5
 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
6
 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
7
 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
8
 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9
 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10
 and with every living creature that
is
with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
11
 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12
 And God said, This
is
the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that
is
with you, for perpetual generations:
13
 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14
 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15
 and I will remember my covenant, which
is
between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16
 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that
is
upon the earth.
17
 And God said unto Noah, This
is
the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that
is
upon the earth.
18
 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham
is
the father of Canaan.
19
 These
are
the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
20
 And Noah began
to be
an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21
 and he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22
 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23
 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid
it
upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces
were
backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24
 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25
 And he said, Cursed
be
Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26
 And he said, Blessed
be
the L
ORD
God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27
 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
28
 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29
 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
10:
1
 Now these
are
the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
2
 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
3
 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
4
 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
5
 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
6
 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
7
 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
8
 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9
 He was a mighty hunter before the L
ORD
: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the L
ORD
.
10
 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11
 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
12
 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same
is
a great city.
13
 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
14
 and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
15
 And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,
16
 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
17
 and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
18
 and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
19
 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
20
 These
are
the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries,
and
in their nations.
21
 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were
children
born.
22
 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23
 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24
 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
25
 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one
was
Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name
was
Joktan.
26
 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
27
 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
28
 and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
29
 and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these
were
the sons of Joktan.
30
 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
31
 These
are
the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
32
 These
are
the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
