- 1 Chroniques 23
  
  1 Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
  
  2 He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
  
  3 The Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
  
  4 David said, "Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Yahweh; six thousand were officers and judges;
  
  5 four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Yahweh with the instruments which I made, for giving praise."
  
  6 David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
  
  7 Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
  
  8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
  
  9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers' households of Ladan.
  
  10 The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
  
  11 Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah didn't have many sons; therefore they became a fathers' house in one reckoning.
  
  12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
  
  13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons, forever, to burn incense before Yahweh, to minister to him, and to bless in his name, forever.
  
  14 But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
  
  15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
  
  16 The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.
  
  17 The sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
  
  18 The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.
  
  19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
  
  20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.
  
  21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
  
  22 Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: and their brothers the sons of Kish took them as wives.
  
  23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
  
  24 These were the sons of Levi after their fathers' houses, even the heads of the fathers' houses of those who were counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the house of Yahweh, from twenty years old and upward.
  
  25 For David said, "Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
  
  26 Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service."
  
  27 For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward.
  
  28 For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Yahweh, in the courts, and in the rooms, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of God's house;
  
  29 for the show bread also, and for the fine flour for a meal offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all kinds of measure and size;
  
  30 and to stand every morning to thank and praise Yahweh, and likewise in the evening;
  
  31 and to offer all burnt offerings to Yahweh, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before Yahweh;
  
  32 and that they should keep the duty of the Tent of Meeting, and the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the service of the house of Yahweh.
  
  Michée 2
  
  1 Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
  
  2 They covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
  
  3 Therefore thus says Yahweh: "Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.
  
  4 In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, 'We are utterly ruined! My people's possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!'"
  
  5 Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the assembly of Yahweh.
  
  6 "Don't prophesy!" They prophesy. "Don't prophesy about these things. Disgrace won't overtake us."
  
  7 Shall it be said, O house of Jacob: "Is the Spirit of Yahweh angry? Are these his doings? Don't my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?"
  
  8 But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
  
  9 You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
  
  10 Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
  
  11 If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies: "I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink"; he would be the prophet of this people.
  
  12 I will surely assemble, Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they will swarm with people.
  
  13 He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. And their king passes on before them, with Yahweh at their head.
  
  1 Pierre 4
  
  1 Forasmuch then as Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
  
  2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
  
  3 For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
  
  4 They think it is strange that you don't run with them into the same excess of riot, blaspheming:
  
  5 who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
  
  6 For to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.
  
  7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.
  
  8 And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
  
  9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
  
  10 As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
  
  11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
  
  12 Beloved, don't be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
  
  13 But because you are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
  
  14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
  
  15 For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler in other men's matters.
  
  16 But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.
  
  17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don't obey the Good News of God?
  
  18 "If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?"
  
  19 Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
