The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the Lord of hosts.

 Therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.

 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.

 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.

 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.

 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.

 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:

 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.







Isaiah 9:12-21
King James Bible

seek the Lord

but his hand is stretched out still. (Jaffa  edit)

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.






Psalm 1
King James Bible

on whom he will

Psaume 1 (Cortez Hill)

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.







1 Corinthians 2:10-16
King James Bible

but the Spirit of God.

Tôi vẫn tin cậy nơi Ngài:

But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.



Psalm 64
King James Bible

hear in the morning,

Psaume 64 (Seattle)

 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?

 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.

 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.



Romans 9:17-26
King James Bible

What if God,

	
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

Psaume 134 (Haifa)

be blessed;

And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.

Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.

He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.





Proverbs 22:4-9
King James Bible

I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.

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.

but his hand is stretched out still. (Jaffa edit)
