Judges 7 |
| Judges 7:1 | Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley. |
| Judges 7:2 | And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. |
| Judges 7:3 | Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand. |
| Judges 7:4 | And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. |
| Judges 7:5 | So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink. |
| Judges 7:6 | And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. |
| Judges 7:7 | And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place. |
| Judges 7:8 | So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley. |
| Judges 7:9 | And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Arise, get thee down unto the host; for I have delivered it into thine hand. |
| Judges 7:10 | But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host: |
| Judges 7:11 | And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the host. |
| Judges 7:12 | And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude. |
| Judges 7:13 | And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along. |
| Judges 7:14 | And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host. |
| Judges 7:15 | And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian. |
| Judges 7:16 | And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man’s hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. |
| Judges 7:17 | And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do. |
| Judges 7:18 | When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. |
| Judges 7:19 | So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands. |
| Judges 7:20 | And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. |
| Judges 7:21 | And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. |
| Judges 7:22 | And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man’s sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath. |
| Judges 7:23 | And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites. |
| Judges 7:24 | And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan. |
| Judges 7:25 | And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan. |

Malachi 1 |
| Malachi 1:1 | The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi. |
| Malachi 1:2 | I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob, |
| Malachi 1:3 | And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. |
| Malachi 1:4 | Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever. |
| Malachi 1:5 | And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel. |
| Malachi 1:6 | A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? |
| Malachi 1:7 | Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible. |
| Malachi 1:8 | And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts. |
| Malachi 1:9 | And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the LORD of hosts. |
| Malachi 1:10 | Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand. |
| Malachi 1:11 | For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts. |
| Malachi 1:12 | But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible. |
| Malachi 1:13 | Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the LORD. |
| Malachi 1:14 | But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen. |

Hebrews 4 |
| Hebrews 4:1 | Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. |
| Hebrews 4:2 | For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. |
| Hebrews 4:3 | For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. |
| Hebrews 4:4 | For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. |
| Hebrews 4:5 | And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. |
| Hebrews 4:6 | Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: |
| Hebrews 4:7 | Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. |
| Hebrews 4:8 | For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. |
| Hebrews 4:9 | There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. |
| Hebrews 4:10 | For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. |
| Hebrews 4:11 | Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. |
| Hebrews 4:12 | For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. |
| Hebrews 4:13 | Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. |
| Hebrews 4:14 | Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. |
| Hebrews 4:15 | For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. |
| Hebrews 4:16 | Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. |

Matthew 20 |
| Matthew 20:1 | For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. |
| Matthew 20:2 | And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. |
| Matthew 20:3 | And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, |
| Matthew 20:4 | And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. |
| Matthew 20:5 | Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. |
| Matthew 20:6 | And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? |
| Matthew 20:7 | They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. |
| Matthew 20:8 | So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. |
| Matthew 20:9 | And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. |
| Matthew 20:10 | But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. |
| Matthew 20:11 | And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, |
| Matthew 20:12 | Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. |
| Matthew 20:13 | But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? |
| Matthew 20:14 | Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. |
| Matthew 20:15 | Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? |
| Matthew 20:16 | So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. |
| Matthew 20:17 | And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, |
| Matthew 20:18 | Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, |
| Matthew 20:19 | And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again. |
| Matthew 20:20 | Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. |
| Matthew 20:21 | And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom. |
| Matthew 20:22 | But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. |
| Matthew 20:23 | And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father. |
| Matthew 20:24 | And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren. |
| Matthew 20:25 | But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. |
| Matthew 20:26 | But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; |
| Matthew 20:27 | And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: |
| Matthew 20:28 | Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. |
| Matthew 20:29 | And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. |
| Matthew 20:30 | And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David. |
| Matthew 20:31 | And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David. |
| Matthew 20:32 | And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you? |
| Matthew 20:33 | They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. |
| Matthew 20:34 | So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him. |
