- 1 Rois 8
  
  1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' households of the children of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of the city of David, which is Zion.
  
  2 All the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
  
  3 All the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
  
  4 They brought up the ark of Yahweh, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; even these the priests and the Levites brought up.
  
  5 King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
  
  6 The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
  
  7 For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.
  
  8 The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the oracle; but they were not seen outside: and there they are to this day.
  
  9 There was nothing in the ark except the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
  
  10 It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Yahweh,
  
  11 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh.
  
  12 Then Solomon said, "Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
  
  13 I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever."
  
  14 The king turned his face about, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.
  
  15 He said, "Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David your father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
  
  16 'Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.'
  
  17 "Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
  
  18 But Yahweh said to David my father, 'Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart.
  
  19 Nevertheless, you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come forth out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.'
  
  20 Yahweh has established his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
  
  21 There I have set a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of Yahweh, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt."
  
  22 Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;
  
  23 and he said, "Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart;
  
  24 who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.
  
  25 Now therefore, may Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, 'There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.'
  
  26 "Now therefore, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father.
  
  27 But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain you; how much less this house that I have built!
  
  28 Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant, and for his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you this day;
  
  29 that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, 'My name shall be there;' to listen to the prayer which your servant shall pray toward this place.
  
  30 Listen to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place. Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.
  
  31 "If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swear before your altar in this house;
  
  32 then hear in heaven, and do, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
  
  33 "When your people Israel are struck down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you; if they turn again to you, and confess your name, and pray and make supplication to you in this house:
  
  34 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers.
  
  35 "When the sky is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you afflict them:
  
  36 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
  
  37 "If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities; whatever plague, whatever sickness there is;
  
  38 whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall each know the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
  
  39 then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men;)
  
  40 that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
  
  41 "Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for your name's sake
  
  42 (for they shall hear of your great name, and of your mighty hand, and of your outstretched arm); when he shall come and pray toward this house;
  
  43 hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
  
  44 "If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to Yahweh toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name;
  
  45 then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
  
  46 If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn't sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;
  
  47 yet if they shall repent in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, 'We have sinned, and have done perversely; we have dealt wickedly;'
  
  48 if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who carried them captive, and pray to you toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, the city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name:
  
  49 then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven, your dwelling place, and maintain their cause;
  
  50 and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against you; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them
  
  51 (for they are your people, and your inheritance, which you brought out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron);
  
  52 that your eyes may be open to the supplication of your servant, and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they cry to you.
  
  53 For you separated them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be your inheritance, as you spoke by Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, Lord Yahweh."
  
  54 It was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to Yahweh, he arose from before the altar of Yahweh, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven.
  
  55 He stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
  
  56 "Blessed be Yahweh, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.
  
  57 May Yahweh our God be with us, as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us, nor forsake us;
  
  58 that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.
  
  59 Let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Yahweh, be near to Yahweh our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require;
  
  60 that all the peoples of the earth may know that Yahweh, he is God. There is none else.
  
  61 "Let your heart therefore be perfect with Yahweh our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day."
  
  62 The king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Yahweh.
  
  63 Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Yahweh, two and twenty thousand head of cattle, and one hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Yahweh.
  
  64 The same day the king made the middle of the court holy that was before the house of Yahweh; for there he offered the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before Yahweh was too little to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.
  
  65 So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Yahweh our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
  
  66 On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
  
  Ezéchiel 38
  
  1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
  
  2 Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
  
  3 and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:
  
  4 and I will turn you around, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you forth, with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords;
  
  5 Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
  
  6 Gomer, and all his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his hordes; even many peoples with you.
  
  7 Be prepared, yes, prepare yourself, you, and all your companies who are assembled to you, and be a guard to them.
  
  8 After many days you shall be visited: in the latter years you shall come into the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, on the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste; but it is brought forth out of the peoples, and they shall dwell securely, all of them.
  
  9 You shall ascend, you shall come like a storm, you shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you, and all your hordes, and many peoples with you.
  
  10 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: It shall happen in that day, that things shall come into your mind, and you shall devise an evil device:
  
  11 and you shall say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to those who are at rest, who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates;
  
  12 to take the spoil and to take the prey; to turn your hand against the waste places that are [now] inhabited, and against the people who are gathered out of the nations, who have gotten livestock and goods, who dwell in the middle of the earth.
  
  13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions of it, shall tell you, Have you come to take the spoil? have you assembled your company to take the prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great spoil?
  
  14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and tell Gog, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In that day when my people Israel dwells securely, shall you not know it?
  
  15 You shall come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you, and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army;
  
  16 and you shall come up against my people Israel, as a cloud to cover the land: it shall happen in the latter days, that I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified in you, Gog, before their eyes.
  
  17 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Are you he of whom I spoke in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for [many] years that I would bring you against them?
  
  18 It shall happen in that day, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, says the Lord Yahweh, that my wrath shall come up into my nostrils.
  
  19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
  
  20 so that the fish of the sea, and the birds of the sky, and the animals of the field, and all creeping things who creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the surface of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
  
  21 I will call for a sword against him to all my mountains, says the Lord Yahweh: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
  
  22 With pestilence and with blood will I enter into judgment with him; and I will rain on him, and on his hordes, and on the many peoples who are with him, an overflowing shower, and great hailstones, fire, and sulfur.
  
  23 I will magnify myself, and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
  
  Ephésiens 5
  
  1 Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
  
  2 Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
  
  3 But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;
  
  4 nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks.
  
  5 Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.
  
  6 Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
  
  7 Therefore don't be partakers with them.
  
  8 For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,
  
  9 for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,
  
  10 proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.
  
  11 Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.
  
  12 For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.
  
  13 But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.
  
  14 Therefore he says, "Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
  
  15 Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise;
  
  16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
  
  17 Therefore don't be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
  
  18 Don't be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,
  
  19 speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing, and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
  
  20 giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;
  
  21 subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.
  
  22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
  
  23 For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.
  
  24 But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.
  
  25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;
  
  26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
  
  27 that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
  
  28 Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.
  
  29 For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;
  
  30 because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.
  
  31 "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh."
  
  32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.
  
  33 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
