Proverbs 13:4
Jos 9:3 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what
Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,
Jos 9:4 They did work wilily, and went and made as if
they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine
bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;
Jos 9:5 And old shoes and clouted upon their feet,
and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and
mouldy.
Jos 9:6 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at
Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far
country: now therefore make ye a league with us.
Jos 9:7 And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites,
Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?
Jos 9:8 And they said unto Joshua, We are thy
servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come
ye?
Jos 9:9 And they said unto him, From a very far
country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we
have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,
Jos 9:10 And all that he did to the two kings of the
Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og
king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth.
Jos 9:11 Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants
of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and
go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: therefore now
make ye a league with us.
Jos 9:12 This our bread we took hot for our
provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now,
behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:
Jos 9:13 And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were
new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become
old by reason of the very long journey.
Jos 9:14 And the men took of their victuals, and asked
not counsel at the mouth of the LORD.
Jos 9:15 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a
league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware
unto them.
Jos 9:16 And it came to pass at the end of three days
after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were
their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.
Jos 9:17 And the children of Israel journeyed, and
came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon,
and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim.
Jos 9:18 And the children of Israel smote them not,
because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of
Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
Jos 9:19 But all the princes said unto all the
congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore
we may not touch them.
Jos 9:20 This we will do to them; we will even let
them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.
Jos 9:21 And the princes said unto them, Let them
live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation;
as the princes had promised them.
Jos 9:22 And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto
them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far
from you; when ye dwell among us?
Jos 9:23 Now therefore ye are cursed, and there
shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers
of water for the house of my God.
Jos 9:24 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because
it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his
servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of
the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of
you, and have done this thing.
Jos 9:25 And now, behold, we are in thine hand:
as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.
Jos 9:26 And so did he unto them, and delivered them
out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.
Jos 9:27 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood
and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even
unto this day, in the place which he should choose.
Jos 10:1 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek king of
Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as
he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how
the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
Jos 10:2 That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was
a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater
than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.
Jos 10:3 Wherefore Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent
unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king
of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Jos 10:4 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may
smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of
Israel.
Jos 10:5 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the
king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of
Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and
all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
Jos 10:6 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the
camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us
quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell
in the mountains are gathered together against us.
Jos 10:7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all
the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
Jos 10:8 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not:
for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand
before thee.
Jos 10:9 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and
went up from Gilgal all night.
Jos 10:10 And the LORD discomfited them before Israel,
and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way
that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
Jos 10:11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before
Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down
great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were
more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel
slew with the sword.
Jos 10:12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when
the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said
in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in
the valley of Ajalon.
Jos 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed,
until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this
written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven,
and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
Jos 10:14 And there was no day like that before it or
after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought
for Israel.
Jos 10:15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him,
unto the camp to Gilgal.
Jos 10:16 But these five kings fled, and hid themselves
in a cave at Makkedah.
Jos 10:17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five
kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.
Jos 10:18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the
mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:
Jos 10:19 And stay ye not, but pursue after your
enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their
cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.
Jos 10:20 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the
children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter,
till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them entered
into fenced cities.
Jos 10:21 And all the people returned to the camp to
Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children
of Israel.
Jos 10:22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave,
and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.
Jos 10:23 And they did so, and brought forth those five
kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the
king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
Jos 10:24 And it came to pass, when they brought out
those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said
unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your
feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon
the necks of them.
Jos 10:25 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be
dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your
enemies against whom ye fight.
Jos 10:26 And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew
them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until
the evening.
Jos 10:27 And it came to pass at the time of the going
down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the
trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great
stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day.
Jos 10:28 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote
it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them,
and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to
the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho.
Jos 10:29 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all
Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
Jos 10:30 And the LORD delivered it also, and the king
thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword,
and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did
unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho.
Jos 10:31 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel
with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
Jos 10:32 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand
of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the
sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had
done to Libnah.
Jos 10:33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help
Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none
remaining.
Jos 10:34 And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon,
and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
Jos 10:35 And they took it on that day, and smote it
with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he
utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
Jos 10:36 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel
with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:
Jos 10:37 And they took it, and smote it with the edge
of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the
souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that
he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were
therein.
Jos 10:38 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him,
to Debir; and fought against it:
Jos 10:39 And he took it, and the king thereof, and all
the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly
destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he
had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done
also to Libnah, and to her king.
Jos 10:40 So Joshua smote all the country of the hills,
and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he
left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God
of Israel commanded.
Jos 10:41 And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even
unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
Jos 10:42 And all these kings and their land did Joshua
take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
Jos 10:43 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him,
unto the camp to Gilgal.
Luk 16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was
clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
Luk 16:20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus,
which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
Luk 16:21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which
fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
Luk 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died,
and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and
was buried;
Luk 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in
torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Luk 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have
mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water,
and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
Luk 16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in
thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but
now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
Luk 16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there
is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot;
neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
Luk 16:27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father,
that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
Luk 16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify
unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Luk 16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and
the prophets; let them hear them.
Luk 16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one
went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
Luk 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses
and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the
dead.
Luk 17:1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is
impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom
they come!
Luk 17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were
hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one
of these little ones.
Luk 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother
trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
Luk 17:4 And if he trespass against thee seven times
in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou
shalt forgive him.
Luk 17:5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase
our faith.
Luk 17:6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain
of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by
the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
Luk 17:7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or
feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go
and sit down to meat?
Luk 17:8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready
wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and
drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
Luk 17:9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the
things that were commanded him? I trow not.
Luk 17:10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all
those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we
have done that which was our duty to do.
Psa 83:1 A
Song or Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not
thy peace, and be not still, O God.
Psa 83:2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and
they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
Psa 83:3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy
people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
Psa 83:4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off
from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in
remembrance.
Psa 83:5 For they have consulted together with one
consent: they are confederate against thee:
Psa 83:6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites;
of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
Psa 83:7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines
with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Psa 83:8 Assur also is joined with them: they have
holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
Psa 83:9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites;
as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
Psa 83:10 Which perished at Endor: they became as
dung for the earth.
Psa 83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb:
yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
Psa 83:12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses
of God in possession.
Psa 83:13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the
stubble before the wind.
Psa 83:14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame
setteth the mountains on fire;
Psa 83:15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make
them afraid with thy storm.
Psa 83:16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may
seek thy name, O LORD.
Psa 83:17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever;
yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
Psa 83:18 That men may know that thou, whose
name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
Pro 13:4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath
nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
