- Josué 23
  
  1 It happened after many days, when Yahweh had given rest to Israel from their enemies all around, and Joshua was old and well advanced in years,
  
  2 that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said to them, "I am old and well advanced in years.
  
  3 You have seen all that Yahweh your God has done to all these nations because of you; for it is Yahweh your God who has fought for you.
  
  4 Behold, I have allotted to you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea toward the going down of the sun.
  
  5 Yahweh your God will thrust them out from before you, and drive them from out of your sight. You shall possess their land, as Yahweh your God spoke to you.
  
  6 "Therefore be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that you not turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left;
  
  7 that you not come among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow down yourselves to them;
  
  8 but hold fast to Yahweh your God, as you have done to this day.
  
  9 "For Yahweh has driven great and strong nations out from before you. But as for you, no man has stood before you to this day.
  
  10 One man of you shall chase a thousand; for it is Yahweh your God who fights for you, as he spoke to you.
  
  11 Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that you love Yahweh your God.
  
  12 "But if you do at all go back, and hold fast to the remnant of these nations, even these who remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you;
  
  13 know for a certainty that Yahweh your God will no longer drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap to you, a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which Yahweh your God has given you.
  
  14 "Behold, today I am going the way of all the earth. You know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which Yahweh your God spoke concerning you. All have happened to you. Not one thing has failed of it.
  
  15 It shall happen that as all the good things have come on you of which Yahweh your God spoke to you, so Yahweh will bring on you all the evil things, until he has destroyed you from off this good land which Yahweh your God has given you,
  
  16 when you disobey the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves to them. Then the anger of Yahweh will be kindled against you, and you will perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you."
  
  Jérémie 12
  
  1 You are righteous, Yahweh, when I contend with you; yet I would reason the cause with you: why does the way of the wicked prosper? why are all they at ease who deal very treacherously?
  
  2 You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; they grow, yes, they bring forth fruit: you are near in their mouth, and far from their heart.
  
  3 But you, Yahweh, know me; you see me, and try my heart toward you: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
  
  4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole country wither? for the wickedness of those who dwell therein, the animals are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our latter end.
  
  5 If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? and though in a land of peace you are secure, yet how will you do in the pride of the Jordan?
  
  6 For even your brothers, and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you; even they have cried aloud after you: don't believe them, though they speak beautiful words to you.
  
  7 I have forsaken my house, I have cast off my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
  
  8 My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest: she has uttered her voice against me; therefore I have hated her.
  
  9 Is my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey? are the birds of prey against her all around? Go, assemble all the animals of the field, bring them to devour.
  
  10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
  
  11 They have made it a desolation; it mourns to me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man lays it to heart.
  
  12 Destroyers have come on all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of Yahweh devours from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh has peace.
  
  13 They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put themselves to pain, and profit nothing: and you shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce anger of Yahweh.
  
  14 Thus says Yahweh against all my evil neighbors, who touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.
  
  15 It shall happen, after that I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them; and I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
  
  16 It shall happen, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, As Yahweh lives; even as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of my people.
  
  17 But if they will not hear, then will I pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it, says Yahweh.
  
  Actes 3
  
  1 Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour .
  
  2 A certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was being carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask gifts for the needy of those who entered into the temple.
  
  3 Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive gifts for the needy.
  
  4 Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with John, said, "Look at us."
  
  5 He listened to them, expecting to receive something from them.
  
  6 But Peter said, "Silver and gold have I none, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!"
  
  7 He took him by the right hand, and raised him up. Immediately his feet and his ankle bones received strength.
  
  8 Leaping up, he stood, and began to walk. He entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God.
  
  9 All the people saw him walking and praising God.
  
  10 They recognized him, that it was he who used to sit begging for gifts for the needy at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. They were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
  
  11 As the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
  
  12 When Peter saw it, he responded to the people, "You men of Israel, why do you marvel at this man? Why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk?
  
  13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up, and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.
  
  14 But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,
  
  15 and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, to which we are witnesses.
  
  16 By faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
  
  17 "Now, brothers , I know that you did this in ignorance, as did also your rulers.
  
  18 But the things which God announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled.
  
  19 "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord,
  
  20 and that he may send Christ Jesus, who was ordained for you before,
  
  21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God spoke long ago by the mouth of his holy prophets.
  
  22 For Moses indeed said to the fathers, 'The Lord God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him in all things whatever he says to you.
  
  23 It will be, that every soul that will not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from among the people.'
  
  24 Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those who followed after, as many as have spoken, they also told of these days.
  
  25 You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'In your seed will all the families of the earth be blessed.'
  
  26 God, having raised up his servant, Jesus, sent him to you first, to bless you, in turning away everyone of you from your wickedness."
