- 1 Chroniques 16
  
  1 They brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
  
  2 When David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh.
  
  3 He dealt to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.
  
  4 He appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of Yahweh, and to celebrate and to thank and praise Yahweh, the God of Israel:
  
  5 Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;
  
  6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
  
  7 Then on that day David first ordained to give thanks to Yahweh, by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
  
  8 Oh give thanks to Yahweh. Call on his name. Make his doings known among the peoples.
  
  9 Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.
  
  10 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
  
  11 Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
  
  12 Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
  
  13 you seed of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
  
  14 He is Yahweh our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
  
  15 Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
  
  16 the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
  
  17 He confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
  
  18 saying, "I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,"
  
  19 when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners were in it.
  
  20 They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
  
  21 He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
  
  22 "Don't touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!"
  
  23 Sing to Yahweh, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.
  
  24 Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.
  
  25 For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.
  
  26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.
  
  27 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
  
  28 Ascribe to Yahweh, you relatives of the peoples, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!
  
  29 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship Yahweh in holy array.
  
  30 Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can't be moved.
  
  31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations, "Yahweh reigns!"
  
  32 Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is therein!
  
  33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before Yahweh, for he comes to judge the earth.
  
  34 Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
  
  35 Say, "Save us, God of our salvation! Gather us together and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise."
  
  36 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, "Amen," and praised Yahweh.
  
  37 So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, Asaph and his brothers, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required;
  
  38 and Obed-Edom with their brothers, sixty-eight; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
  
  39 and Zadok the priest, and his brothers the priests, before the tabernacle of Yahweh in the high place that was at Gibeon,
  
  40 to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the law of Yahweh, which he commanded to Israel;
  
  41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Yahweh, because his loving kindness endures forever;
  
  42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.
  
  43 All the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
  
  Abdias 1
  
  1 The vision of Obadiah. This is what the Lord Yahweh says about Edom. We have heard news from Yahweh, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, "Arise, and let's rise up against her in battle.
  
  2 Behold, I have made you small among the nations. You are greatly despised.
  
  3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, 'Who will bring me down to the ground?'
  
  4 Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there," says Yahweh.
  
  5 "If thieves came to you, if robbers by night--oh, what disaster awaits you--wouldn't they only steal until they had enough? If grape pickers came to you, wouldn't they leave some gleaning grapes?
  
  6 How Esau will be ransacked! How his hidden treasures are sought out!
  
  7 All the men of your alliance have brought you on your way, even to the border. The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you. Friends who eat your bread lay a snare under you. There is no understanding in him."
  
  8 "Won't I in that day," says Yahweh, "destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?
  
  9 Your mighty men, Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
  
  10 For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever.
  
  11 In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were like one of them.
  
  12 But don't look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and don't rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction. Don't speak proudly in the day of distress.
  
  13 Don't enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Don't look down on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither seize their wealth on the day of their calamity.
  
  14 Don't stand in the crossroads to cut off those of his who escape. Don't deliver up those of his who remain in the day of distress.
  
  15 For the day of Yahweh is near all the nations! As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your own head.
  
  16 For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been.
  
  17 But in Mount Zion, there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Jacob will possess their possessions.
  
  18 The house of Jacob will be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble. They will burn among them, and devour them. There will not be any remaining to the house of Esau." Indeed, Yahweh has spoken.
  
  19 Those of the South will possess the mountain of Esau, and those of the lowland, the Philistines. They will possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria. Benjamin will possess Gilead.
  
  20 The captives of this army of the children of Israel, who are among the Canaanites, will possess even to Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the Negev.
  
  21 Saviors will go up on Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom will be Yahweh's.
  
  Jacques 3
  
  1 Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.
  
  2 For in many things we all stumble. If anyone doesn't stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.
  
  3 Indeed, we put bits into the horses' mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body.
  
  4 Behold, the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.
  
  5 So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
  
  6 And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.
  
  7 For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and thing in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind.
  
  8 But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
  
  9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God.
  
  10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
  
  11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
  
  12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.
  
  13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
  
  14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.
  
  15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
  
  16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
  
  17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
  
  18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
