Leviticus
26:3 - 27:34
(3) If you
walk in My statutes and keep My commandments and do them,(4) then I will give
you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of
the field shall yield their fruit.(5) And your threshing shall reach to the
vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time. And you shall eat your
bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.(6) And I will give peace in
the land, and you shall lie down and none shall make you afraid. And I will
cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, neither shall the sword go through
your land.(7) And you shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you
by the sword.(8) And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you
shall put ten thousand to flight. And your enemies shall fall by the sword in
front of you.(9) For I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and
multiply you, and establish My covenant with you.(10) And you shall eat of the
old provision, and clear away the old because of the new.(11) And I will set My
tabernacle among you. And My soul shall not abhor you.(12) And I will walk
among you and will be your God, and you shall be My people.(13) I am Jehovah
your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from being their
bondmen. And I have broken the bonds of your yoke, and made you go upright.(14)
But if you will not listen to Me, and will not do all these commandments,(15)
and if you shall despise My statutes, or if your soul hates My judgments, so
that you will not do all My commandments, so that you break My covenant;(16) I
will also do this to you: I will even appoint terror over you, consumption, and
burning fever, consuming the eyes and causing sorrow of heart. And you shall sow
your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.(17) And I will set My face
against you, and you shall be slain before your enemies. They that hate you
shall reign over you. And you shall flee when none pursues you.(18) And if you
will not yet listen to Me for all this, then I will punish you seven times more
for your sins.(19) And I will break the pride of your power, and I will make
your heaven like iron and your earth like bronze.(20) And your strength shall
be spent in vain. For your land shall not yield its increase, neither shall the
trees of the field yield their fruits.(21) And if you walk contrary to Me, and
will not listen to Me, I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to
your sins.(22) I will also send wild beasts among you, who shall bereave you.
And I will destroy your cattle, and make you few. And your highways shall be
deserted.(23) And if you will not be reformed by Me by these things, but will
still walk contrary to Me,(24) then I will walk contrary to you and will punish
you seven times more for your sins.(25) And I will bring a sword on you that
shall execute the vengeance of the covenant. And when you are gathered inside
your cities, I will send the plague among you. And you shall be delivered into
the hand of the enemy.(26) When I have broken the staff of your bread, ten
women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread
again by weight. And you shall eat and not be satisfied.(27) And if you will
not for all of this listen to Me, but will walk contrary to Me,(28) then I will
walk contrary to you also in fury. And I, even I, will chastise you seven times
for your sins.(29) And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of
your daughters you shall eat.(30) And I will destroy your high places and cut
down your images, and throw your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols, and
My soul shall despise you.(31) And I will make your cities waste and cause your
sanctuaries to be deserted. And I will not smell the savor of your sweet
odors.(32) And I will turn the land into wasteland. And your enemies who dwell
in it shall be astonished at it.(33) And I will scatter you among the nations,
and will draw out a sword after you. And your land shall be waste, and your
cities waste.(34) Then shall the land enjoy its Sabbaths, as long as it lies
waste, and you are in your enemies' land; then shall the land rest and enjoy its
Sabbaths.(35) As long as it lies waste it shall rest, because it did not rest
in your Sabbaths when you lived on it.(36) And on those of you that are left I
will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. And the
sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee as if fleeing from
a sword. And they shall fall when none pursues.(37) And they shall fall on one
another, as if it were before a sword, when none pursues. And you shall have no
power to stand before your enemies.(38) And you shall perish among the nations,
and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.(39) And they that are left of
you shall putrefy in their iniquity in the lands of your enemies. And also they
shall putrefy with them in the iniquities of their fathers.(40) If they shall
confess their willfulness and the willfulness of their fathers, with their sin
which they sinned against Me, and that also they have walked contrary to
Me,(41) I also will walk contrary to them and will bring them into the land of
their enemies. If then their uncircumcised hearts are humbled, and they then pay
for their iniquity,(42) then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and also
My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham I will remember. And I
will remember the land.(43) The land also shall be forsaken by them, and shall
enjoy its Sabbaths, while it lies waste without them. And they shall accept the
punishment of their iniquities; because, even because they despised My
judgments, and because their soul hated My statutes.(44) And yet for all that,
when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither
will I hate them, to destroy them utterly and to break My covenant with them.
For I am Jehovah their God.(45) But for their sakes, I will remember the
covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in
the sight of the heathen, so that I might be their God. I am Jehovah.(46) These
are the statutes and judgments and laws, which Jehovah made between Him and the
sons of Israel in Mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
Leviticus
27
(1) And
Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,(2) Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them,
When a man shall make a special vow, the persons shall be for Jehovah by your
evaluation.(3) And your judgment shall be of the male from twenty years old
even to sixty years old, even your judgment shall be fifty shekels of silver,
after the shekel of the sanctuary.(4) And if it is a female, then your judgment
shall be thirty shekels.(5) And if from five years old to twenty years old,
then your judgment shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten
shekels.(6) And if from a month old to five years old, then your judgment shall
be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female your judgment shall be
three shekels of silver.(7) And if from sixty years old and above, if it is a
male then your judgment shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten
shekels.(8) But if he is poorer than your judgment, then he shall present
himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him. The priest shall
value him according to the ability of him who vowed.(9) And if it is an animal
of which they bring an offering to Jehovah, all that one gives of such to
Jehovah shall be holy.(10) He shall not alter it nor change it, a good for a
bad, or a bad for a good. And if he shall at all change animal for animal, then
it and the exchange of it shall be holy.(11) And if it is any unclean animal,
of which they do not offer a sacrifice to Jehovah, then he shall present the
animal before the priest.(12) And the priest shall value it, whether it is good
or bad. As you the priest value it, so shall it be.(13) But if he will at all
redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part of it to what you judged.(14) And
when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy to Jehovah, then the priest shall
judge it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest shall judge it, so shall it
stand.(15) And if he who sanctified it desires to redeem his house, then he
shall add the fifth part of the silver of your judgment, and it shall be
his.(16) And if a man shall sanctify to Jehovah some part of a field that he
owns, then your judgment shall be according to its seed; a homer of barley seed
at fifty shekels of silver.(17) If he sanctifies his field from the year of
jubilee, according to your judgment it shall stand.(18) But if he sanctifies
his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the silver
according to the years that remain, even until the year of jubilee, and it shall
be taken from your estimation.(19) And if he who sanctified the field desires
in any way to redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your
estimation to it, and it shall be made sure to him.(20) And if he will not
redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be
redeemed any more.(21) But the field, when it goes out in the jubilee, shall be
holy to Jehovah, as a field devoted. The possession of it shall be the
priest's.(22) And if a man sanctifies to Jehovah a field which he has bought,
which is not of the fields he owns,(23) then the priest shall count to him the
worth of your estimation, until the year of jubilee. And he shall give your
estimation in that day, a holy thing to Jehovah.(24) In the year of the jubilee
the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to him who owns it in the
land.(25) And all your judgments shall be according to the shekel of the
sanctuary, twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.(26) However, the first-born of an
animal, which should be Jehovah's first-born, no man shall sanctify it, whether
an ox, or sheep, it is Jehovah's.(27) And if it is of an unclean animal, then
he shall redeem it according to your estimation, and shall add a fifth part of
it to it. Or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your
estimation.(28) However, no devoted thing that a man shall devote to Jehovah of
all that he has, either of man or animal, or of the field of his possession,
shall be sold or redeemed. Every devoted thing is most holy to Jehovah.(29)
Nothing devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed, but shall
surely be put to death.(30) And all the tithe of the land, of the seed of the
land, or of the fruit of the tree, is Jehovah's. It is holy to Jehovah.(31) And
if a man will at all redeem anything of his tithes, he shall add to it the fifth
part of it.(32) And all the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, all that passes
under the rod, a tenth shall be holy to Jehovah(33) He shall not search whether
it is good or bad, neither shall he change it. And if he changes it at all, then
both it and the change of it shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.(34) These
are the commandments which Jehovah commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in
Mount Sinai.
Jeremiah
16:19-17:14
(19) O Jehovah, my
strength and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations
shall come to You from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers
have inherited lies, vanity, and there is no profit in them.(20) Shall a man
make gods to himself, and they are no gods?(21) Therefore, behold, I will make
them know; this time I will cause them to know My hand and My might; and they
shall know that My name is Jehovah.(17: 1) The sin of Judah is engraved with an
iron stylus; it is carved on the tablet of the heart and on the horns of Your
altar with the point of a diamond;(2) while their sons remember their altars
and their Asherahs by the green trees on the high hills.(3) O My mountain in
the field, I will give your wealth and all your treasures for prey, and your
high places for sin, throughout all your borders.(4) And you, even through
yourself, have let go of the inheritance which I gave you; and I will cause you
to serve your enemies in a land which you do not know. For you have kindled a
fire in My anger, which shall burn forever.(5) So says Jehovah, Cursed is the
man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from
Jehovah.(6) For he shall be like a juniper in the desert, and shall not see
when good comes. But he shall live in the parched places in the wilderness, in a
salt land that is not inhabited.(7) Blessed is the man who trusts in Jehovah,
and Jehovah is his trust.(8) For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters;
it sends out its roots by the river, and it shall not fear when the heat comes,
but its foliage shall be green; and he is not worried in the year of drought,
nor will it cease from yielding fruit.(9) The heart is deceitful above all
things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?(10) I Jehovah search the
heart, I try the reins, even to give to each man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his doings.(11) The quail sits on eggs and does not
hatch them; in the same way he who gets riches, and not by right, shall leave
them in the middle of his days, and in his end he shall be a fool.(12) A
glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.(13) O
Jehovah, the Hope of Israel, all who forsake You shall be ashamed. Those who
depart from Me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken
Jehovah, the Fountain of living waters.(14) Heal me, O Jehovah, and I shall be
healed, save me, and I shall be saved; for You are my praise.
Matthew
22:1-14
(1) And
Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables, and said,(2) The kingdom of
Heaven is like a certain king who made a marriage for his son.(3) And he sent
out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they would
not come.(4) Again he sent out other servants, saying, Tell those who are
invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatlings are killed, and
all things are ready. Come to the marriage.(5) But not caring, they went their
ways, one to his field, another to his trading.(6) And the rest took his
servants and treated them spitefully, and killed them.(7) But when the king
heard, he was angry. And he sent out his armies and destroyed those murderers,
and burned up their city.(8) Then he said to his servants, The wedding is
ready, but they who were invited were not worthy.(9) Therefore go into the
exits of the highways, and as many as you shall find, invite them to the
marriage.(10) So the servants went out into the highways and gathered together
as many as they found, both bad and good. And the wedding was filled with
reclining guests.(11) And the king coming in to look over the guests, he saw a
man there who did not have on a wedding garment.(12) And he said to him,
Friend, how did you come in here without having a wedding garment? And he was
speechless.(13) Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot and
take him away, and cast him into outer darkness. There shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.(14) For many are called, but few chosen.
