And he answering said,

And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.

but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.





Psalm 127
King James Bible

and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

Psaume 127 (Metropolitano edit)

For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.





Hebrews 10:37-39
King James Bible

at the strait gate

Now the just shall live by faith

fully persuaded

But the word of God grew and multiplied.

Behold, bless ye the Lord, all ye servants of the Lord, which by night stand in the house of the Lord.

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord.

The Lord that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

Psalm 134
King James Bible

bless ye the Lord

Psaume 134 (Naples edit)

I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.

Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

Psalm 138
King James Bible

if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

Psaume 138 (Chicago edit)

In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me.

Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.





Psalm 120
King James Bible

run with patience

Psaume 120 (Malibu edit)

Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.

Psalm 149
King James Bible

So then faith cometh by hearing

Psaume 149 (Santiago de Cali edit)

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?






2 Peter 3:9-12
King James Bible

and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.









1 Thessalonians 5:2-11
King James Bible

ainsi est l'homme qui s'égare loin de son lieu.

even as also ye do.

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
