37
 And as he [Jesus] spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
38
 And when the Pharisee saw
it,
he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
39
 And the Lord said unto him,
Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
40
Â
Ye
fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
41
Â
But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
42
Â
But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
43
Â
Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
44
Â
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over
them
are not aware
of them.
45
 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
46
 And he said,
Woe unto you also,
ye
lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47
Â
Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48
Â
Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
49
Â
Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and
some
of them they shall slay and persecute:
50
Â
that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
51
Â
from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
52
Â
Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
53
 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge
him
vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
54
 laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
12:
1
 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all,
Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2
Â
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3
Â
Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4
Â
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5
Â
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
6
Â
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7
Â
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Maschil of Asaph.
1
 Give ear, O my people,
to
my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2
 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
3
 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
4
 We will not hide
them
from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the L
ORD
, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
5
 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
6
 That the generation to come might know
them, even
the children
which
should be born;
who
should arise and declare
them
to their children:
7
 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
8
 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation
that
set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
9
 The children of Ephraim,
being
armed,
and
carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
10
 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
11
 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
12
 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt,
in
the field of Zoan.
13
 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
14
 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
15
 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave
them
drink as
out of
the great depths.
16
 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
17
 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
18
 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
19
 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
20
 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
21
 Therefore the L
ORD
heard
this,
and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
22
 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
23
 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
24
 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
25
 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
26
 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
27
 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
28
 And he let
it
fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
29
 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
30
 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat
was
yet in their mouths,
31
 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen
men
of Israel.
19
 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue
is
but for a moment.
20
 Deceit
is
in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace
is
joy.
1
 And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.
2
 And he said unto them, I
am
an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the L
ORD
hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
3
 The L
ORD
thy God, he will go over before thee,
and
he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them:
and
Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the L
ORD
hath said.
4
 And the L
ORD
shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed.
5
 And the L
ORD
shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you.
6
 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the L
ORD
thy God, he
it is
that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
7
 And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the L
ORD
hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
8
 And the L
ORD
, he
it is
that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
9
 And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the L
ORD
, and unto all the elders of Israel.
10
 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of
every
seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
11
 when all Israel is come to appear before the L
ORD
thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
12
 Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that
is
within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the L
ORD
your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:
13
 and
that
their children, which have not known
any thing,
may hear, and learn to fear the L
ORD
your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
14
 And the L
ORD
said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.
15
 And the L
ORD
appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.
16
 And the L
ORD
said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go
to be
among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
17
 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God
is
not among us?
18
 And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods.
19
 Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
20
 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.
21
 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.
22
 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.
23
 And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.
24
 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
25
 that Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the L
ORD
, saying,
26
 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the L
ORD
your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.
27
 For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the L
ORD
; and how much more after my death?
28
 Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.
29
 For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt
yourselves,
and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the L
ORD
, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.
30
 And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.
32:
1
 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2
 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
3
 Because I will publish the name of the L
ORD
: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4
Â
He is
the Rock, his work
is
perfect: for all his ways
are
judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right
is
he.
5
 They have corrupted themselves, their spot
is
not
the spot
of his children:
they are
a perverse and crooked generation.
6
 Do ye thus requite the L
ORD
, O foolish people and unwise?
is
not he thy father
that
hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
7
 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
8
 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9
 For the L
ORD
's portion
is
his people; Jacob
is
the lot of his inheritance.
10
 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11
 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
12
Â
So
the L
ORD
alone did lead him, and
there was
no strange god with him.
13
 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14
 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
15
 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered
with fatness;
then he forsook God
which
made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16
 They provoked him to jealousy with strange
gods,
with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17
 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new
gods that
came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18
 Of the Rock
that
begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19
 And when the L
ORD
saw
it,
he abhorred
them,
because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20
 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end
shall be:
for they
are
a very froward generation, children in whom
is
no faith.
21
 They have moved me to jealousy with
that which is
not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with
those which are
not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22
 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23
 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
24
Â
They shall be
burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
25
 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling
also
with the man of gray hairs.
26
 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
27
 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely,
and
lest they should say, Our hand
is
high, and the L
ORD
hath not done all this.
