- 1 Chroniques 21
  
  1 Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
  
  2 David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, "Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them."
  
  3 Joab said, "May Yahweh make his people a hundred times as many as they are. But, my lord the king, aren't they all my lord's servants? Why does my lord require this thing? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?"
  
  4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
  
  5 Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people to David. All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand men who drew sword: and in Judah were four hundred seventy thousand men who drew sword.
  
  6 But he didn't count Levi and Benjamin among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
  
  7 God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel.
  
  8 David said to God, "I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly."
  
  9 Yahweh spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,
  
  10 "Go and speak to David, saying, 'Thus says Yahweh, "I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you."'"
  
  11 So Gad came to David, and said to him, "Thus says Yahweh, 'Take your choice:
  
  12 either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days the sword of Yahweh, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of Yahweh destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.'"
  
  13 David said to Gad, "I am in distress. Let me fall, I pray, into the hand of Yahweh; for his mercies are very great. Let me not fall into the hand of man."
  
  14 So Yahweh sent a pestilence on Israel; and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
  
  15 God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was about to destroy, Yahweh saw, and he relented of the disaster, and said to the destroying angel, "It is enough; now stay your hand." The angel of Yahweh was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
  
  16 David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Yahweh standing between earth and the sky, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.
  
  17 David said to God, "Isn't it I who commanded the people to be numbered? It is even I who have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, O Yahweh my God, be against me, and against my father's house; but not against your people, that they should be plagued."
  
  18 Then the angel of Yahweh commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up, and raise an altar to Yahweh in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
  
  19 David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of Yahweh.
  
  20 Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
  
  21 As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
  
  22 Then David said to Ornan, "Give me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build thereon an altar to Yahweh. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people."
  
  23 Ornan said to David, "Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Behold, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all."
  
  24 King David said to Ornan, "No; but I will most certainly buy it for the full price. For I will not take that which is yours for Yahweh, nor offer a burnt offering without cost."
  
  25 So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
  
  26 David built an altar to Yahweh there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on Yahweh; and he answered him from the sky by fire on the altar of burnt offering.
  
  27 Yahweh commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.
  
  28 At that time, when David saw that Yahweh had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
  
  29 For the tabernacle of Yahweh, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
  
  30 But David couldn't go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Yahweh.
  
  Jonas 4
  
  1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.
  
  2 He prayed to Yahweh, and said, "Please, Yahweh, wasn't this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.
  
  3 Therefore now, Yahweh, take, I beg you, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live."
  
  4 Yahweh said, "Is it right for you to be angry?"
  
  5 Then Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made himself a booth, and sat under it in the shade, until he might see what would become of the city.
  
  6 Yahweh God prepared a vine, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the vine.
  
  7 But God prepared a worm at dawn the next day, and it chewed on the vine, so that it withered.
  
  8 It happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah's head, so that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is better for me to die than to live."
  
  9 God said to Jonah, "Is it right for you to be angry about the vine?" He said, "I am right to be angry, even to death."
  
  10 Yahweh said, "You have been concerned for the vine, for which you have not labored, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night.
  
  11 Shouldn't I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can't discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much livestock?"
  
  1 Pierre 2
  
  1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
  
  2 as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby,
  
  3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious:
  
  4 coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
  
  5 You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
  
  6 Because it is contained in Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen, and precious: He who believes in him will not be disappointed."
  
  7 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone,"
  
  8 and, "a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense." For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
  
  9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
  
  10 who in time past were no people, but now are God's people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
  
  11 Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
  
  12 having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.
  
  13 Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
  
  14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
  
  15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
  
  16 as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
  
  17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
  
  18 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
  
  19 For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.
  
  20 For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.
  
  21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
  
  22 who did not sin, "neither was deceit found in his mouth."
  
  23 Who, when he was cursed, didn't curse back. When he suffered, didn't threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;
  
  24 who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.
  
  25 For you were going astray like sheep; but now have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
