The First Book of Moses, called Genesis
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created him; male and female created them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and gage dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that nicety upon the earth.
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. {2:3} And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: {2:17} But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. {2:23} And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. {2:24} Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. {2:25} And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
And he said, Who told thee that thou [wast] naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy concep-tion; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed [is] the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life; {3:18} Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; {3:19} In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou [art,] and unto dust shalt thou return.
{4:1} And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. {4:2} And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. {4:3} And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. {4:4} And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: {4:5} But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. {4:6} And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? {4:7} If thou doest well, shalt thou not be ac-cepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. {4:8} And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
{6:5} And GOD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. {6:6} And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. {6:7} And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. {6:8} But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
{6:9, These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man [and] perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God. {6:10} And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. {6:11} The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. {6:12} And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. {6:13} And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
{6:14) Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. {6:15} And this [is the fashion] which thou shalt make it [of:] The length of the ark [shall bel three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. {6:16} A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; [with] lower, second, and third [stories) shalt thou make it. {6:17} And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life, from under heaven; [and] every thing that [is] in the earth shall die. {6:1 8} But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. {6:19} And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every (sort) shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive with thee; they shall be male and female. {6:20} Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every [sort] shall come unto thee, to keep [them] alive. {6:21} And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather [it] to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. {6:22} Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

(8:131 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first (month,l the first (dayl of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry. (8:14) And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. (8:15) And God spake unto Noah, saying. (8:16) Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. (8:17) Bring forth with thee every living thing that (is) with thee, of all flesh, (both] of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. (8:18) And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: (8:19) Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, (and) whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
{9:1} And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. (9:2} And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth (upon] the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. 19:3} Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. {9:4} But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. (9:5} And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. {9:6} Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. 19:7} And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
God [is] with thee in all that thou doest

But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, [but] divide [it. 1{3:27} Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she [is] the mother thereof.

{1:10} Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, [that is so] great? (1:11} And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: {1:12} Wisdom and knowledge [is) granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that [have been] before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
Deal courageously, and the LORD shall be with the good.

(23:5) Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. (23:6) Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

(27:4) One (thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. {27:5) For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. (27:6) And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD. (27:7} Hear, O LORD, [when] 1 cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. {27:8) [When thou saidst,] Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

(37:15) Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. (37:16) A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the riches of many wicked. (37:17) For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. (37:18) The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

(37:38] But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. {37:39) But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD: (he is] their strength in the time of trouble.

(91:4) He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.
{91:14) Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. (91:15) He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I [will be] with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and hon-our him. (91:16) With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

(94:15) But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. {94:16) Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? (or) who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? (94:17) Unless the LORD (had been] my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. (94:18) When 1 said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. (94:19) In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. (94:20) Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? (94:21) They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. (94:22) But the LORD is my defence; and my God [is] the rock of my refuge. {94:23} And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; [yea,] the LORD our God shall cut them off.

(112:9) He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. {112:10} The wicked shall see [it,] and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
Psalm 143 A Psalm of David. {143:1) Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplica-tions: in thy faithfulness answer me, (and) in thy right-eousness. (143:2) And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. {143:3) For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. (143:4) Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. {143:5] 1 remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. {143:6) I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul (thirsteth] after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. (143:7) Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. (143:8) Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morn-ing; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. (143:9) Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. (143:10) Teach me to do thy will; for thou [art] my God: thy spirit [is] good; lead me into the land of uprightness. {143:11) Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. (143:12) And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I (am] thy servant.

{40:29} He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he in-creaseth strength. {40:30} Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: {40:31} But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.
{41:10} Fear thou not; for 1 [am] with thee: be not dis-mayed; for 1 [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, 1 will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. {41:11} Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. {41:12} Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, [even] them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. {41:13} For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
{45:5} I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else, [there is] no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: {45:6} That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that [there is] none beside me. 1[am] the LORD, and [there is] none else. {45:7} I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things. ]{45:8} Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down right-eousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth sal-vation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
{50:10} Who [is] among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh (in] dark-ness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God. {50:11} Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass [yourselves] about with sparks [that] ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
{54:17} No weapon that is formed against thee shall pros-per; and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness [is] of me, saith the LORD.
{55:6) Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: {55:7} Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
{56:13 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation [is] near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. {56:2} Blessed [is] the man [that] doeth this, and the son of man [that] layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
{57:18} I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners. {57:19} I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to [him that is] far off, and to [him that is] near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him. {57:20} But the wicked [are] like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. {57:21} [There is] no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
{58:13} If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [thine own] words: {58:14} Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it.]
The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah
1{9:23} Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise [man] glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty [man] glory in his might, let not the rich [man] glory in his riches: (9:24} But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understan-deth and knoweth me, that I [am] the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these [things] I delight, saith the LORD.
LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
{23:23} [Am] I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? {23:24} Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
{42:11} Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for 1 [am] with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
The Lamentations of Jeremiah
{3:22} [It is of] the LORD'S mercies that we are not con-sumed, because his compassions fail not. {3:23} [They are new every morning: great [is] thy faithfulness. {3:24} The LORD [is] my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. {3:25} The LORD [is] good unto them that wait for him, to the soul [that] seeketh him. {3:26} [It is] good that [a man] should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. {3:27} [It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. {3:28} He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him. {3:29} He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope. {3:30} He giveth [his] cheek to him that smi-teth him: he is filled full with reproach. {3:31} For the Lord will not cast off for ever: {3:32} But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. {3:33} For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. {3:34} To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth, {3:35} To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High, {3:36} To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
{3:55} I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon. {3:56} Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry. {3:57} Thou drewest near in the day [that] I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not. {3:58} O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life. {3:59} O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
