- Juges 1
  
  1 It happened after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of Yahweh, saying, "Who should go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?"
  
  2 Yahweh said, "Judah shall go up. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hand."
  
  3 Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into your lot." So Simeon went with him.
  
  4 Judah went up; and Yahweh delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they struck of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
  
  5 They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
  
  6 But Adoni-Bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
  
  7 Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, scavenged under my table: as I have done, so God has requited me." They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
  
  8 The children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
  
  9 Afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, and in the South, and in the lowland.
  
  10 Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba); and they struck Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
  
  11 From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.)
  
  12 Caleb said, "He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife."
  
  13 Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
  
  14 It happened, when she came, that she got him to ask her father for a field: and she alighted from off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, "What would you like?"
  
  15 She said to him, "Give me a blessing; for that you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water." Then Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
  
  16 The children of the Kenite, Moses' brother-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and lived with the people.
  
  17 Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they struck the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. The name of the city was called Hormah.
  
  18 Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Ashkelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.
  
  19 Yahweh was with Judah; and drove out the inhabitants of the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
  
  20 They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had spoken: and he drove out there the three sons of Anak.
  
  21 The children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
  
  22 The house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel; and Yahweh was with them.
  
  23 The house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)
  
  24 The watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said to him, "Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with you."
  
  25 He showed them the entrance into the city; and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.
  
  26 The man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
  
  27 Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its towns, nor Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
  
  28 It happened, when Israel had grown strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and did not utterly drive them out.
  
  29 Ephraim didn't drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.
  
  30 Zebulun didn't drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites lived among them, and became subject to forced labor.
  
  31 Asher didn't drive out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;
  
  32 but the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.
  
  33 Naphtali didn't drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but he lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and of Beth Anath became subject to forced labor.
  
  34 The Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country; for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;
  
  35 but the Amorites would dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became subject to forced labor.
  
  36 The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
  
  Jérémie 14
  
  1 The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought.
  
  2 Judah mourns, and its gates languish, they sit in black on the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
  
  3 Their nobles send their little ones to the waters: they come to the cisterns, and find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are disappointed and confounded, and cover their heads.
  
  4 Because of the ground which is cracked, because no rain has been in the land, the plowmen are disappointed, they cover their heads.
  
  5 Yes, the hind also in the field calves, and forsakes her young, because there is no grass.
  
  6 The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights, they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage.
  
  7 Though our iniquities testify against us, work for your name's sake, Yahweh; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against you.
  
  8 You hope of Israel, its Savior in the time of trouble, why should you be as a foreigner in the land, and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to stay for a night?
  
  9 Why should you be like a scared man, as a mighty man who can't save? Yet you, Yahweh, are in the midst of us, and we are called by your name; don't leave us.
  
  10 Thus says Yahweh to this people, Even so have they loved to wander; they have not refrained their feet: therefore Yahweh does not accept them; now he will remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
  
  11 Yahweh said to me, Don't pray for this people for their good.
  
  12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and meal offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
  
  13 Then I said, Ah, Lord Yahweh! behold, the prophets tell them, You shall not see the sword, neither shall you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.
  
  14 Then Yahweh said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name; I didn't send them, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke I to them: they prophesy to you a lying vision, and divination, and a thing of nothing, and the deceit of their own heart.
  
  15 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, and I didn't send them, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
  
  16 The people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them--them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness on them.
  
  17 You shall say this word to them, Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound.
  
  18 If I go forth into the field, then, behold, the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then, behold, those who are sick with famine! for both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.
  
  19 Have you utterly rejected Judah? has your soul loathed Zion? why have you struck us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
  
  20 We acknowledge, Yahweh, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against you.
  
  21 Do not abhor us, for your name's sake; do not disgrace the throne of your glory: remember, don't break your covenant with us.
  
  22 Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the sky give showers? Aren't you he, Yahweh our God? therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.
  
  Actes 5
  
  1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira, his wife, sold a possession,
  
  2 and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
  
  3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
  
  4 While you kept it, didn't it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn't it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven't lied to men, but to God."
  
  5 Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.
  
  6 The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
  
  7 About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
  
  8 Peter answered her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for so much." She said, "Yes, for so much."
  
  9 But Peter asked her, "How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."
  
  10 She fell down immediately at his feet, and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.
  
  11 Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.
  
  12 By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
  
  13 None of the rest dared to join them, however the people honored them.
  
  14 More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.
  
  15 They even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some of them.
  
  16 Multitudes also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people, and those who were tormented by unclean spirits: and they were all healed.
  
  17 But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,
  
  18 and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public custody.
  
  19 But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out, and said,
  
  20 "Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life."
  
  21 When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
  
  22 But the officers who came didn't find them in the prison. They returned and reported,
  
  23 "We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!"
  
  24 Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.
  
  25 One came and told them, "Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people."
  
  26 Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
  
  27 When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,
  
  28 saying, "Didn't we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man's blood on us."
  
  29 But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men.
  
  30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.
  
  31 God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
  
  32 We are His witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."
  
  33 But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and determined to kill them.
  
  34 But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while.
  
  35 He said to them, "You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.
  
  36 For before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nothing.
  
  37 After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
  
  38 Now I tell you, withdraw from these men, and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown.
  
  39 But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!"
  
  40 They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
  
  41 They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus' name.
  
  42 Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ.
