- Juges 3
  
  1 Now these are the nations which Yahweh left, to prove Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
  
  2 only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing of it:
  
  3 the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath.
  
  4 They were left to test Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the commandments of Yahweh, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.
  
  5 The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites:
  
  6 and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.
  
  7 The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and forgot Yahweh their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.
  
  8 Therefore the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Cushan Rishathaim eight years.
  
  9 When the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
  
  10 The Spirit of Yahweh came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Yahweh delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan Rishathaim.
  
  11 The land had rest forty years. Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
  
  12 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: and Yahweh strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
  
  13 He gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.
  
  14 The children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
  
  15 But when the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised them up a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.
  
  16 Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he wore it under his clothing on his right thigh.
  
  17 He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.
  
  18 When he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people who bore the tribute.
  
  19 But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret errand to you, king." The king said, "Keep silence!" All who stood by him went out from him.
  
  20 Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said, "I have a message from God to you." He arose out of his seat.
  
  21 Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body:
  
  22 and the handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn't draw the sword out of his body; and it came out behind.
  
  23 Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them.
  
  24 Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and behold, the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, "Surely he is covering his feet in the upper room."
  
  25 They waited until they were ashamed; and behold, he didn't open the doors of the upper room: therefore they took the key, and opened them, and behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
  
  26 Ehud escaped while they waited, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirah.
  
  27 It happened, when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he before them.
  
  28 He said to them, "Follow me; for Yahweh has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand." They followed him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and didn't allow any man to pass over.
  
  29 They struck of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valor; and there escaped not a man.
  
  30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. The land had rest eighty years.
  
  31 After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck of the Philistines six hundred men with an oxgoad: and he also saved Israel.
  
  Jérémie 16
  
  1 The word of Yahweh came also to me, saying,
  
  2 You shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or daughters, in this place.
  
  3 For thus says Yahweh concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became their father in this land:
  
  4 They shall die grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung on the surface of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth.
  
  5 For thus says Yahweh, Don't enter into the house of mourning, neither go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, says Yahweh, even loving kindness and tender mercies.
  
  6 Both great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them;
  
  7 neither shall men break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
  
  8 You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.
  
  9 For thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
  
  10 It shall happen, when you shall show this people all these words, and they shall tell you, Why has Yahweh pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against Yahweh our God?
  
  11 Then you shall tell them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, says Yahweh, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshiped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;
  
  12 and you have done evil more than your fathers; for, behold, you walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you don't listen to me:
  
  13 therefore will I cast you forth out of this land into the land that you have not known, neither you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night; for I will show you no favor.
  
  14 Therefore behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that it shall no more be said, As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
  
  15 but, As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven them. I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers.
  
  16 Behold, I will send for many fishermen, says Yahweh, and they shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.
  
  17 For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my face, neither is their iniquity concealed from my eyes.
  
  18 First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.
  
  19 Yahweh, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, to you shall the nations come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is no profit.
  
  20 Shall a man make to himself gods, which yet are no gods?
  
  21 Therefore behold, I will cause them to know, this once will I cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is Yahweh.
  
  Actes 7
  
  1 The high priest said, "Are these things so?"
  
  2 He said, "Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,
  
  3 and said to him, 'Get out of your land, and from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.'
  
  4 Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and lived in Haran. From there, when his father was dead, God moved him into this land, where you are now living.
  
  5 He gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on. He promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when he still had no child.
  
  6 God spoke in this way: that his seed would live as aliens in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years.
  
  7 'I will judge the nation to which they will be in bondage,' said God, 'and after that will they come out, and serve me in this place.'
  
  8 He gave him the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.
  
  9 "The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. God was with him,
  
  10 and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
  
  11 Now a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction. Our fathers found no food.
  
  12 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.
  
  13 On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's race was revealed to Pharaoh.
  
  14 Joseph sent, and summoned Jacob, his father, and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.
  
  15 Jacob went down into Egypt, and he died, himself and our fathers,
  
  16 and they were brought back to Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver from the children of Hamor of Shechem.
  
  17 "But as the time of the promise came close which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
  
  18 until there arose a different king, who didn't know Joseph.
  
  19 The same took advantage of our race, and mistreated our fathers, and forced them to throw out their babies, so that they wouldn't stay alive.
  
  20 At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome. He was nourished three months in his father's house.
  
  21 When he was thrown out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and reared him as her own son.
  
  22 Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.
  
  23 But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers , the children of Israel.
  
  24 Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.
  
  25 He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn't understand.
  
  26 "The day following, he appeared to them as they fought, and urged them to be at peace again, saying, 'Sirs, you are brothers. Why do you wrong one another?'
  
  27 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
  
  28 Do you want to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?'
  
  29 Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
  
  30 "When forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
  
  31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, a voice of the Lord came to him,
  
  32 'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' Moses trembled, and dared not look.
  
  33 The Lord said to him, 'Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
  
  34 I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and have heard their groaning. I have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you into Egypt.'
  
  35 "This Moses, whom they refused, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge?'--God has sent him as both a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
  
  36 This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.
  
  37 This is that Moses, who said to the children of Israel, 'The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me. '
  
  38 This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living oracles to give to us,
  
  39 to whom our fathers wouldn't be obedient, but rejected him, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
  
  40 saying to Aaron, 'Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this Moses, who led us out of the land of Egypt, we don't know what has become of him.'
  
  41 They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
  
  42 But God turned, and gave them up to serve the army of the sky, as it is written in the book of the prophets, 'Did you offer to me slain animals and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
  
  43 You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, the star of your god Rephan, the figures which you made to worship. I will carry you away beyond Babylon.'
  
  44 "Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses commanded him to make it according to the pattern that he had seen;
  
  45 which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered into the possession of the nations, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, to the days of David,
  
  46 who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
  
  47 But Solomon built him a house.
  
  48 However, the Most High doesn't dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,
  
  49 'heaven is my throne, and the earth a footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build me?' says the Lord; 'or what is the place of my rest?
  
  50 Didn't my hand make all these things?'
  
  51 "You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.
  
  52 Which of the prophets didn't your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.
  
  53 You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn't keep it!"
  
  54 Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
  
  55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
  
  56 and said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!"
  
  57 But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed at him with one accord.
  
  58 They threw him out of the city, and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
  
  59 They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!"
  
  60 He kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, "Lord, don't hold this sin against them!" When he had said this, he fell asleep.
