9 8 The first offerings of Aaron. 12 Aaron blesseth the people. 23 The glory of the Lord is showed. 24 The fire cometh from the Lord.
1 And in the [a]eighth day Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the Elders of Israel:
2 (A)Then he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a [b]sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and bring them before the Lord.
3 And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye an he goat for a sin offering, and a calf, and a lamb, both of a year old, without blemish for a burnt offering:
4 Also a bullock, and a ram for peace offerings, to offer before the Lord, and a meat offering mingled with oil: for today the Lord will appear unto you.
5 ¶ Then they brought that which Moses commanded before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and all the assembly drew near, and stood before the [c]Lord.
6 (For Moses had said, This is the thing, which the Lord commanded that ye should do, and the glory of the Lord shall appear unto you.)
7 Then Moses said unto Aaron, Draw near to the Altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for [d]thee and for the people: offer also the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them, as the Lord hath commanded.
8 ¶ Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him, and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the Altar, and poured the rest of the blood at the foot of the Altar.
10 But the fat and the kidneys, and the caul of the liver of the sin offering, he [e]burnt unto the Altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
11 The flesh also and the hide he burnt with fire without the host.
12 After, he slew the burnt offering, and Aaron’s sons brought unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about the Altar.
13 Also they brought the burnt offering unto him with the pieces thereof, and the head, and he burnt them upon the Altar.
14 Likewise he did wash the inwards and the legs, and [f]burnt them upon the burnt offering on the Altar.
15 ¶ Then he offered the people’s offering and took a goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it: and offered it for sin, as the first:
16 So he offered the burnt offering, and prepared it, according to the manner.
17 He presented also the meat offering, and filled his hand thereof, and (B)beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning he burnt this upon the altar.
18 He slew also the bullock, and the ram for the peace offerings, that was for the people, and Aaron’s sons brought unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the Altar round about.
19 With the fat of the bullock, and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul of the liver.
20 So they laid the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the Altar.
21 But the [g]breasts and the right shoulder Aaron shook to and fro before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22 So Aaron lift up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and [h]came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.
23 After, Moses and Aaron went into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and came out, and [i]blessed the people, and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.
24 (C)And there came a fire out from the Lord, and consumed upon the Altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they [j]gave thanks, and fell on their faces.
10 1 He complaineth of the fraud, rapine, tyranny, and all kinds of wrong, which worldly men use, assigning the cause thereof, that wicked men, being as it were drunken with worldly prosperity, and therefore setting apart all fear and reverence towards God, think they may do all things without controlling. 15 Therefore he calleth upon God to send some remedy against these desperate evils, 16 and at length comforteth himself with hope of deliverance.
1 Why standest thou far off, O Lord, and hidest thee in [a]due time, even in affliction?
2 The wicked with pride doth persecute the poor; let them be taken in the crafts that they have imagined.
3 For the wicked hath [b]made boast of his own heart’s desire, and the covetous blesseth himself, he contemneth the Lord.
4 The wicked is so proud, that he seeketh not for God: he thinketh always, There is no God.
5 His ways always prosper: thy judgments are high above his sight; therefore [c]defieth he all his enemies.
6 He saith in his heart, I shall [d]never be moved, [e]nor be in danger.
7 His mouth is full of cursing, and deceit, and fraud; under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
8 [f]He lieth in wait in the villages; in the secret places doth he murder the innocent; his eyes are bent against the poor.
9 He lieth in wait secretly, even as a lion in his den; he lieth in wait to spoil the poor; he doth spoil the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
10 He croucheth and boweth; therefore heaps of the [g]poor do fall by his might.
11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten, he hideth away his face, and will never see.
12 [h]Arise, O Lord God, lift up thine hand; forget not the poor.
13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he saith in his heart, Thou wilt not [i]regard.
14 Yet thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and wrong; that thou mayest [j]take it into thine hands; the poor committeth himself unto thee; for thou art the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and malicious; search his wickedness, and thou shalt find [k]none.
16 The Lord is King forever and ever; the [l]heathen are destroyed forth of his land.
17 Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the poor; thou preparest their heart; thou bendest thine ear to them,
18 [m]To judge the fatherless and poor, that earthly man [n]cause to fear no more.
24 1 (A)Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
2 For their heart imagineth destruction, and their lips speak mischief.
3 Through wisdom is an house built, and with understanding it is established.
4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
5 A wise man is strong: for a man of understanding increaseth his strength.
6 (B)For with counsel thou shalt enterprise thy war, and in the multitude of them that can give counsel, is health.
7 Wisdom is high to a fool: therefore he cannot open his mouth in the [a]gate.
8 He that imagineth to do evil, men shall call him an author of wickedness.
9 The wicked thought of a fool is sin, and the scorner is an abomination unto men.
10 If thou be [b]faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
11 Deliver them that are drawn [c]to death, and wilt thou not preserve them that are led to be slain?
12 If thou say, Behold, we knew not of it: he that pondereth the hearts, doth not he understand it? and he that keepeth thy soul, knoweth he it not? will he not also recompense every man according to his works?
13 My son, eat [d]honey, for it is good, and the honey comb, for it is sweet unto thy mouth.
14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul if thou find it, and there shall be an [e]end, and thine hope shall not be cut off.
15 Lay no wait, O wicked man, against the house of the righteous, and spoil not his resting place.
16 For a just man [f]falleth seven times, and riseth again: but the wicked fall into mischief.
17 Be thou not glad when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart rejoice when he stumbleth,
18 Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn his wrath [g]from him.
19 (C)Fret not thyself because of the malicious, neither be envious at the wicked.
20 For there shall be none end of plagues to the evil man, (D)the light of the wicked shall be put out.
21 My son, fear the Lord, and the King and meddle not with them that are seditious.
22 For their destruction shall rise suddenly, and who knoweth the ruin of them [h]both?
23 Also these things pertain to the wise, It is not good [i]to have respect of any person in judgment.
24 He that saith to the wicked, (E)Thou art righteous, him shall the people curse, and the multitude shall abhor him.
25 But to them that rebuke him, shall be pleasure, and upon them shall come the blessing of goodness.
26 They shall kiss the lips of him that answereth upright words.
27 Prepare thy work without, and make ready thy things in the field, [j]and after, build thine house.
28 Be not a witness against thy neighbor without cause: for wilt thou deceive with thy lips?
29 (F)Say not, I will do to him as he hath done to me, I [k]will recompense every man according to his work.
30 I passed by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man destitute of understanding.
31 And lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
32 Then I beheld, and I considered it well: I looked upon it, and received [l]instruction.
33 Yet a little sleep, [m]a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep.
34 So thy poverty cometh as one that traveleth by the way, and thy necessity like an armed man.
3 1 To show his affection towards them, he sendeth Timothy unto them: 6 He is so moved by the report of their prosperous state, 9 that he cannot give sufficient thanks, 11 and therefore he breaketh out into prayer.
1 Wherefore since we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to remain at Athens alone,
2 (A)And have sent Timothy our brother and minister of God, and our labor fellow in the Gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you touching your faith,
3 That no man should be moved with these afflictions: [a]for ye yourselves know, that we are appointed thereunto.
4 For verily when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulations, even as it came to pass, and ye know it.
5 Even for this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent him that I might know of your faith, lest the tempter had tempted you in any sort, and that our labor had been in vain.
6 [b]But now lately when Timothy came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us, as we also do you,
7 Therefore brethren, we had consolation in you, in all our affliction and necessity through your faith.
8 For now are we [c]alive, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
9 For what thanks can we recompense to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we rejoice for your sakes before our God,
10 Night and day, (B)praying exceedingly, that we might see your face, and might [d]accomplish that which is lacking in your faith?
11 Now God himself, even our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, guide our journey unto you.
12 [e]And the Lord increase you, and make you abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
13 (C)To make your hearts stable and unblameable in holiness before God even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his Saints.
