7 1 The Israelites may make no covenant with the Gentiles. 5 They must destroy the idols. 8 The election dependeth on the free love of God. 19 The experience of the power of God ought to confirm us. 25 To avoid all occasion of idolatry.
1 When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, (A)and shall root out many nations before thee: the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou,
2 And the Lord thy God shall give them [a]before thee, then thou shalt smite them: thou shalt utterly destroy them: thou shalt make no (B)covenant with them, nor have compassion on them,
3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them, neither give thy daughter unto his son, nor take his daughter unto thy son.
4 For [b]they will cause thy son to turn away from me, and to serve other gods: then will the wrath of the Lord wax hot against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
5 But thus ye shall deal with them, [c]Ye shall overthrow their altars, and break down their pillars, and ye shall cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
6 (C)For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God, (D)the Lord thy God hath chosen thee, to be a precious people unto himself, above all people that are upon the earth.
7 The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor chose you, because ye were more in number than any people: for ye were the fewest of all people:
8 But because the Lord [d]loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, the Lord hath brought you out by a mighty hand, and delivered you out of the house of bondage from the hand of Pharaoh King of Egypt.
9 That thou mayest know, [e]that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy unto them that love him and keep his commandments, even to a thousand generations,
10 And rewardeth [f]them to their face that hate him, to bring them to destruction: he will not defer to reward him that hateth him, to his face.
11 Keep thou therefore the commandments, and the ordinances, and the laws, which I command thee this day to do them.
12 ¶ For if ye hearken unto these laws, and observe and do them, then the Lord thy God shall keep with thee the covenant, and the [g]mercy which he sware unto thy fathers.
13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn and thy wine, and thine oil, and the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep in the land, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: (E)there shall be neither male nor female barren among you, nor among your cattle.
15 Moreover, the Lord will take away from thee all infirmities, and will put none of the evil diseases of (F)Egypt (which thou knowest) upon thee, but will send them upon all that hate thee.
16 Thou shalt therefore consume all people which the Lord thy God shall give thee: [h]thine eye shall not spare them, neither shalt thou serve their gods, for that shall be thy (G)destruction.
17 If thou say in thine heart, These nations are more than I, how can I cast them out?
18 Thou shalt not fear them, but remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt:
19 The great [i]tentations which thine eyes saw, and the signs and wonders, and the mighty hand and stretched out arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: so shall the Lord thy God do unto all the people, whose face thou fearest.
20 (H)Moreover, the Lord thy God will send [j]hornets among them until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
21 Thou shalt not fear them: for the Lord thy God is among you, a God mighty and dreadful.
22 And the Lord thy God will root out these nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the [k]beasts of the field increase upon thee.
23 But the Lord thy God shall give them before thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be brought to naught.
24 And he shall deliver their Kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou hast destroyed them.
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye (I)burn with fire, and (J)covet not the silver and gold, that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou [l]be snared therewith: for it is an abomination before the Lord thy God.
26 Bring not therefore abomination into thine house, lest thou be accursed like it, but utterly abhor it, and count it most abominable: for it is (K)accursed.
90 1 Moses in his prayer setteth before us the eternal favor of God toward his, 3 who are neither admonished by the brevity of their life, 7 nor by his plagues to be thankful, 12 therefore Moses prayeth God to turn their hearts, and continue his mercies toward them and their posterity forever.
A prayer of Moses, [a]the man of God.
1 Lord, thou hast been our [b]habitation from generation to generation.
2 Before the [c]mountains were made, and before thou hadst formed the earth, and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting thou art our God.
3 Thou [d]turnest man to destruction: again thou sayest, Return ye sons of Adam.
4 [e]For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou hast [f]overflowed them, they are as a sleep, in the morning he groweth like the grass:
6 In the morning it flourisheth and groweth, but in the evening it is cut down and withereth.
7 For we are [g]consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, and our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our days are past in thine anger: we have [h]spent our years as a thought.
10 The time of our life is threescore years and ten, and if they be of strength, [i]fourscore years: yet their strength is but labor and sorrow: for it is cut off quickly, and we flee away.
11 [j]Who knoweth the power of thy wrath? for according to thy fear is thine anger.
12 Teach us so to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto [k]wisdom.
13 Return (O Lord, [l]how long?) and be [m]pacified toward thy servants.
14 Fill us with thy mercy in the morning: so shall we rejoice and be glad all our days?
15 Comfort us according to the days that thou hast afflicted us, and according to the years that we have seen evil.
16 [n]Let thy work be seen toward thy servants, and thy glory upon their [o]children.
17 And let the [p]beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and [q]direct thou the work of our hands upon us, even direct the work of our hands.
35 1 The great joy of them that believe in Christ. 3 Their office which preach the Gospel. 8 The fruits that follow thereof.
1 The [a]desert and the wilderness shall rejoice, and the waste ground shall be glad and flourish as the rose.
2 It shall flourish abundantly, and shall greatly rejoice also and joy: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it: the beauty of [b]Carmel, and of Sharon, they shall [c]see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.
3 [d]Strengthen the weak hands, and comfort the feeble knees.
4 Say unto them that are fearful, Be you strong, fear not: behold, your God cometh with [e]vengeance: even God with a recompense, he will come and save you.
5 Then shall the eyes of the [f]blind be lightened, and the ears of the deaf be opened.
6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the dumb man’s tongue shall sing: for in the [g]wilderness shall waters break out, and rivers in the desert.
7 And the dry ground shall be as a pool, and the thirsty as springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where they lay, shall be a place for reeds and rushes.
8 And there shall be a path and a way, and the way shall be called [h]holy: the polluted shall not pass by it: for [i]he shall be with them, and walk in the way, and the fools shall not err.
9 There shall be [j]no lion, nor noisome beasts shall ascend by it, neither shall they be found there, that the redeemed may walk.
10 Therefore the [k]redeemed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with praise: and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
5 1 The book sealed with seven seals, 3 which none could open. 6 That Lamb of God, 9 is thought worthy to open, 12 even by the consent of all the company of heaven.
1 [a]And I saw in the [b]right hand of him that sat upon the throne, [c]a book written within, and on the backside sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong Angel which preached with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 [d]And no man in heaven nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 Then I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open, and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 [e]And one of the Elders said unto me, Weep not: behold, that (A)[f]Lion which is of the tribe of Judah, that root of David, hath obtained to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 Then I beheld, and lo, [g]in the midst of the throne, and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the Elders stood a Lamb, as though he had been killed, which had seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent into all the world.
7 [h]And he came, and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8 [i]And when he hath taken the book, the four beasts, and the four and twenty Elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one [j]harps and golden vials full of odors, which are the [k]prayers of the Saints,
9 And they sung a [l]new [m]song, saying, [n]Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof, because thou wast killed, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.
10 And hast made us unto our God (B)Kings, and Priests, and we shall reign on the earth.
11 [o]Then I beheld, and I heard the voice of many Angels round about the throne, and about the beasts and the Elders, [p]and there were (C)[q]ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousand thousands,
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was killed, to [r]receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and praise.
13 [s]And all the creatures which are in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Praise, and honor, and glory, and power be unto him, that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for evermore.
14 [t]And the four beasts said, Amen, and the four and twenty Elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for evermore.
