- 2 Rois 4
  
  1 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead. You know that your servant feared Yahweh. Now the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be slaves."
  
  2 Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me: what do you have in the house?" She said, "Your handmaid has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil."
  
  3 Then he said, "Go, borrow containers from of all your neighbors, even empty containers. Don't borrow just a few.
  
  4 You shall go in, and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour out into all those containers; and you shall set aside that which is full."
  
  5 So she went from him, and shut the door on her and on her sons; they brought the containers to her, and she poured out.
  
  6 It happened, when the containers were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another container." He said to her, "There isn't another container." The oil stopped flowing.
  
  7 Then she came and told the man of God. He said, "Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest."
  
  8 It fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman; and she persuaded him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.
  
  9 She said to her husband, "See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, that passes by us continually.
  
  10 Please let us make a little room on the wall. Let us set for him there a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand. It shall be, when he comes to us, that he shall turn in there."
  
  11 One day he came there, and he turned into the room and lay there.
  
  12 He said to Gehazi his servant, "Call this Shunammite." When he had called her, she stood before him.
  
  13 He said to him, "Say now to her, 'Behold, you have cared for us with all this care. What is to be done for you? Would you like to be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army?'" She answered, "I dwell among my own people."
  
  14 He said, "What then is to be done for her?" Gehazi answered, "Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old."
  
  15 He said, "Call her." When he had called her, she stood in the door.
  
  16 He said, "At this season, when the time comes around, you will embrace a son." She said, "No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your handmaid."
  
  17 The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her.
  
  18 When the child was grown, it happened one day that he went out to his father to the reapers.
  
  19 He said to his father, "My head! My head!" He said to his servant, "Carry him to his mother."
  
  20 When he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died.
  
  21 She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door on him, and went out.
  
  22 She called to her husband, and said, "Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God, and come again."
  
  23 He said, "Why would you want go to him today? It is neither new moon nor Sabbath." She said, "It's alright."
  
  24 Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, "Drive, and go forward! Don't slow down for me, unless I ask you to."
  
  25 So she went, and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. It happened, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, "Behold, there is the Shunammite.
  
  26 Please run now to meet her, and ask her, 'Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?'" She answered, "It is well."
  
  27 When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, "Leave her alone; for her soul is troubled within her; and Yahweh has hidden it from me, and has not told me."
  
  28 Then she said, "Did I desire a son of my lord? Didn't I say, Do not deceive me?"
  
  29 Then he said to Gehazi, "Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and go your way. If you meet any man, don't greet him; and if anyone greets you, don't answer him again. Then lay my staff on the face of the child."
  
  30 The mother of the child said, "As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." He arose, and followed her.
  
  31 Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff on the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, "The child has not awakened."
  
  32 When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid on his bed.
  
  33 He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to Yahweh.
  
  34 He went up, and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself on him; and the flesh of the child grew warm.
  
  35 Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth; and went up, and stretched himself on him. Then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
  
  36 He called Gehazi, and said, "Call this Shunammite!" So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, "Take up your son."
  
  37 Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.
  
  38 Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, "Set on the great pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets."
  
  39 One went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered of it wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of stew; for they didn't recognize them.
  
  40 So they poured out for the men to eat. It happened, as they were eating of the stew, that they cried out, and said, "Man of God, there is death in the pot!" They could not eat of it.
  
  41 But he said, "Then bring meal." He cast it into the pot; and he said, "Pour out for the people, that they may eat." There was no harm in the pot.
  
  42 A man from Baal Shalishah came, and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. He said, "Give to the people, that they may eat."
  
  43 His servant said, "What, should I set this before a hundred men?" But he said, "Give the people, that they may eat; for thus says Yahweh, 'They will eat, and will have some left over.'"
  
  44 So he set it before them, and they ate, and left some of it, according to the word of Yahweh.
  
  Daniel 8
  
  1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
  
  2 I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
  
  3 Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
  
  4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no animals could stand before him, neither was there any who could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
  
  5 As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and didn't touch the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
  
  6 He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran on him in the fury of his power.
  
  7 I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled on him; and there was none who could deliver the ram out of his hand.
  
  8 The male goat magnified himself exceedingly: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable [horns] toward the four winds of the sky.
  
  9 Out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious [land].
  
  10 It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and some of the army and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled on them.
  
  11 Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the army; and it took away from him the continual [burnt offering], and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
  
  12 The army was given over [to it] together with the continual [burnt offering] through disobedience; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it did [its pleasure] and prospered.
  
  13 Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, How long shall be the vision [concerning] the continual [burnt offering], and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot?
  
  14 He said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings [and] mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
  
  15 It happened, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
  
  16 I heard a man's voice between [the banks of] the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
  
  17 So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, and fell on my face: but he said to me, Understand, son of man; for the vision belongs to the time of the end.
  
  18 Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright.
  
  19 He said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
  
  20 The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
  
  21 The rough male goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
  
  22 As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
  
  23 In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
  
  24 His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do [his pleasure]; and he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
  
  25 Through his policy he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in [their] security shall he destroy many: he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
  
  26 The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true: but seal up the vision; for it belongs to many days [to come].
  
  27 I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king's business: and I wondered at the vision, but none understood it.
  
  1 Timothée 1
  
  1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and Christ Jesus our hope;
  
  2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
  
  3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
  
  4 neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith--
  
  5 but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith;
  
  6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;
  
  7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.
  
  8 But we know that the law is good, if a man uses it lawfully,
  
  9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
  
  10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;
  
  11 according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
  
  12 And I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;
  
  13 although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
  
  14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
  
  15 The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
  
  16 However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life.
  
  17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
  
  18 This instruction I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare;
  
  19 holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith;
  
  20 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
