- 1 Chroniques 13
  
  1 David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.
  
  2 David said to all the assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you, and if it is of Yahweh our God, let us send abroad everywhere to our brothers who are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have suburbs, that they may gather themselves to us;
  
  3 and let us bring again the ark of our God to us. For we didn't seek it in the days of Saul."
  
  4 All the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
  
  5 So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor the brook of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim.
  
  6 David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God Yahweh that sits above the cherubim, that is called by the Name.
  
  7 They carried the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
  
  8 David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
  
  9 When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
  
  10 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Uzza, and he struck him, because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God.
  
  11 David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.
  
  12 David was afraid of God that day, saying, "How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?"
  
  13 So David didn't move the ark to him into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
  
  14 The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months: and Yahweh blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he had.
  
  1 Chroniques 14
  
  1 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
  
  2 David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel's sake.
  
  3 David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David became the father of more sons and daughters.
  
  4 These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
  
  5 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
  
  6 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
  
  7 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
  
  8 When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them.
  
  9 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
  
  10 David inquired of God, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?" Yahweh said to him, "Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand."
  
  11 So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there; and David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
  
  12 They left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.
  
  13 The Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
  
  14 David inquired again of God; and God said to him, "You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them over against the mulberry trees.
  
  15 It shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then you shall go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines."
  
  16 David did as God commanded him: and they struck the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
  
  17 The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations.
  
  Amos 8
  
  1 Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit.
  
  2 He said, "Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then Yahweh said to me, "The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
  
  3 The songs of the temple will be wailings in that day," says the Lord Yahweh. "The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.
  
  4 Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail,
  
  5 Saying, 'When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
  
  6 that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?'"
  
  7 Yahweh has sworn by the pride of Jacob, "Surely I will never forget any of their works.
  
  8 Won't the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.
  
  9 It will happen in that day," says the Lord Yahweh, "that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
  
  10 I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.
  
  11 Behold, the days come," says the Lord Yahweh, "that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Yahweh.
  
  12 They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek the word of Yahweh, and will not find it.
  
  13 In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.
  
  14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, 'As your god, Dan, lives;' and, 'As the way of Beersheba lives;' they will fall, and never rise up again."
  
  Jacques 1
  
  1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
  
  2 Count it all joy, my brothers , when you fall into various temptations,
  
  3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
  
  4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
  
  5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.
  
  6 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
  
  7 For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
  
  8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
  
  9 But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
  
  10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
  
  11 For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits.
  
  12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.
  
  13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
  
  14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
  
  15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
  
  16 Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers.
  
  17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
  
  18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
  
  19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
  
  20 for the anger of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God.
  
  21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls .
  
  22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
  
  23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;
  
  24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
  
  25 But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
  
  26 If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn't bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man's religion is worthless.
  
  27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
