EZR_7:8 And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which [was] in the seventh year of the king.

EZR_7:9 For upon the first [day] of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first [day] of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.

EZR_7:10 For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do [it], and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.

EZR_7:11 Now this [is] the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, [even] a scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of his statutes to Israel.

EZR_7:12 Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect [peace], and at such a time.

EZR_7:13 I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and [of] his priests and Levites, in my realm, which are minded of their own freewill to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee.

EZR_7:14 Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of his seven counsellors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which [is] in thine hand;

EZR_7:15 And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation [is] in Jerusalem,

EZR_7:16 And all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which [is] in Jerusalem:

EZR_7:17 That thou mayest buy speedily with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which [is] in Jerusalem.

EZR_7:22 Unto an hundred talents of silver, and to an hundred measures of wheat, and to an hundred baths of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing [how much].

EZR_7:23 Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?

EZR_7:24 Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them.

EZR_7:25 And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that [is] in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that [are] beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know [them] not.

EZR_7:26 And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether [it be] unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.

EZR_7:27 Blessed [be] the LORD God of our fathers, which hath put [such a thing] as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which [is] in Jerusalem:

EZR_7:28 And hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God [was] upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.

EZR_8:1 These [are] now the chief of their fathers, and [this is] the genealogy of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.

EZR_8:2 Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Hattush.

EZR_8:3 Of the sons of Shechaniah, of the sons of Pharosh; Zechariah: and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males an hundred and fifty.

EZR_8:4 Of the sons of Pahathmoab; Elihoenai the son of Zerahiah, and with him two hundred males.

EZR_8:5 Of the sons of Shechaniah; the son of Jahaziel, and with him three hundred males.

EZR_8:6 Of the sons also of Adin; Ebed the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty males.

EZR_8:7 And of the sons of Elam; Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah, and with him seventy males.

EZR_8:8 And of the sons of Shephatiah; Zebadiah the son of Michael, and with him fourscore males.

EZR_8:9 Of the sons of Joab; Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males.

EZR_8:10 And of the sons of Shelomith; the son of Josiphiah, and with him an hundred and threescore males.

EZR_8:11 And of the sons of Bebai; Zechariah the son of Bebai, and with him twenty and eight males.

EZR_8:12 And of the sons of Azgad; Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and with him an hundred and ten males.

EZR_8:14 Of the sons also of Bigvai; Uthai, and Zabbud, and with them seventy males.

EZR_8:15 And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there abode we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.

EZR_8:16 Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding.

EZR_8:17 And I sent them with commandment unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say unto Iddo, [and] to his brethren the Nethinims, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.

EZR_8:18 And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;

EZR_8:19 And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;

EZR_8:20 Also of the Nethinims, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinims: all of them were expressed by name.

EZR_8:21 Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.

EZR_8:22 For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God [is] upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath [is] against all them that forsake him.

EZR_8:23 So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was entreated of us.

EZR_8:24 Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,

EZR_8:25 And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, [even] the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel [there] present, had offered:

EZR_8:26 I even weighed unto their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels an hundred talents, [and] of gold an hundred talents;

EZR_8:27 Also twenty basins of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold.

EZR_8:28 And I said unto them, Ye [are] holy unto the LORD; the vessels [are] holy also; and the silver and the gold [are] a freewill offering unto the LORD God of your fathers.

EZR_8:29 Watch ye, and keep [them], until ye weigh [them] before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD.

EZR_8:30 So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring [them] to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.

EZR_8:31 Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth [day] of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.

ROM_1:4 And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

ROM_1:5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

ROM_1:6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

ROM_1:7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be] saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

ROM_1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

ROM_1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

ROM_1:10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

ROM_1:11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

ROM_1:12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

ROM_1:13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

ROM_1:14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

ROM_1:15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

ROM_1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

ROM_1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

ROM_1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

ROM_1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them.

ROM_1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

ROM_1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

ROM_1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

ROM_1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

ROM_1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

PSA_90:16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.

PSA_90:17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

PSA_91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

PSA_91:2 I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

PSA_91:3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence.

PSA_91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.

PRO_20:18 [Every] purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

PRO_20:19 He that goeth about [as] a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

LUKJ_14:5 Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?

LUKJ_14:8 When thou art bidden of any [man] to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;

LUKJ_14:9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

LUKJ_14:10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
