- 2 Rois 8
  
  1 Now Elisha had spoken to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, "Arise, and go, you and your household, and stay for a while wherever you can; for Yahweh has called for a famine. It shall also come on the land seven years."
  
  2 The woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God. She went with her household, and lived in the land of the Philistines seven years.
  
  3 It happened at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines. Then she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her land.
  
  4 Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, "Please tell me all the great things that Elisha has done."
  
  5 It happened, as he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, that behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. Gehazi said, "My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life."
  
  6 When the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, "Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now."
  
  7 Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick. It was told him, saying, "The man of God has come here."
  
  8 The king said to Hazael, "Take a present in your hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of Yahweh by him, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'"
  
  9 So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, "Your son Benhadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'"
  
  10 Elisha said to him, "Go, tell him, 'You shall surely recover;' however Yahweh has shown me that he shall surely die."
  
  11 He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.
  
  12 Hazael said, "Why do you weep, my lord?" He answered, "Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their women with child."
  
  13 Hazael said, "But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing?" Elisha answered, "Yahweh has shown me that you will be king over Syria."
  
  14 Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, "What did Elisha say to you?" He answered, "He told me that you would surely recover."
  
  15 It happened on the next day, that he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place.
  
  16 In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being king of Judah then, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
  
  17 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
  
  18 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife. He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
  
  19 However Yahweh would not destroy Judah, for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.
  
  20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
  
  21 Then Joram passed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.
  
  22 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
  
  23 The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
  
  24 Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
  
  25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.
  
  26 Twenty-two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
  
  27 He walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as did the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
  
  28 He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead: and the Syrians wounded Joram.
  
  29 King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
  
  Daniel 12
  
  1 "At that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be found written in the book.
  
  2 Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
  
  3 Those who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and those who turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
  
  4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run back and forth, and knowledge shall be increased."
  
  5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on the river bank on this side, and the other on the river bank on that side.
  
  6 One said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
  
  7 I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
  
  8 I heard, but I didn't understand: then I said, my lord, what shall be the issue of these things?
  
  9 He said, Go your way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
  
  10 Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but those who are wise shall understand.
  
  11 From the time that the continual burnt offering shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred ninety days.
  
  12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
  
  13 But go you your way until the end; for you shall rest, and shall stand in your lot, at the end of the days.
  
  1 Timothée 5
  
  1 Don't rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
  
  2 the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
  
  3 Honor widows who are widows indeed.
  
  4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
  
  5 Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.
  
  6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
  
  7 Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.
  
  8 But if anyone doesn't provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
  
  9 Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
  
  10 being approved by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, and if she has diligently followed every good work.
  
  11 But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry;
  
  12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
  
  13 Besides, they also learn to be idle, going about from house to house. Not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.
  
  14 I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.
  
  15 For already some have turned aside after Satan.
  
  16 If any man or woman who believes has widows, let them relieve them, and don't let the assembly be burdened; that it might relieve those who are widows indeed.
  
  17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
  
  18 For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain." And, "The laborer is worthy of his wages."
  
  19 Don't receive an accusation against an elder, except at the word of two or three witnesses.
  
  20 Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
  
  21 I command you in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
  
  22 Lay hands hastily on no one, neither be a participant in other men's sins. Keep yourself pure.
  
  23 Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities.
  
  24 Some men's sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.
  
  25 In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can't be hidden.
