- 2 Chroniques 8
  
  1 It happened at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the house of Yahweh, and his own house,
  
  2 that the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
  
  3 Solomon went to Hamath Zobah, and prevailed against it.
  
  4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storage cities, which he built in Hamath.
  
  5 Also he built Beth Horon the upper, and Beth Horon the lower, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
  
  6 and Baalath, and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
  
  7 As for all the people who were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel;
  
  8 of their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel didn't consume, of them Solomon conscripted forced labor to this day.
  
  9 But of the children of Israel, Solomon made no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
  
  10 These were the chief officers of king Solomon, even two-hundred fifty, who ruled over the people.
  
  11 Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David to the house that he had built for her; for he said, "My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places where the ark of Yahweh has come are holy."
  
  12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of Yahweh, which he had built before the porch,
  
  13 even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times in the year, in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tents.
  
  14 He appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise, and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their divisions at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.
  
  15 They didn't depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.
  
  16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared to the day of the foundation of the house of Yahweh, and until it was finished. So the house of Yahweh was completed.
  
  17 Then went Solomon to Ezion Geber, and to Eloth, on the seashore in the land of Edom.
  
  18 Huram sent him ships and servants who had knowledge of the sea by the hands of his servants; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetched from there four hundred fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
  
  Habacuc 3
  
  1 A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music.
  
  2 Yahweh, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh. Renew your work in the midst of the years. In the midst of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy.
  
  3 God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and his praise filled the earth.
  
  4 His splendor is like the sunrise. Rays shine from his hand, where his power is hidden.
  
  5 Plague went before him, and pestilence followed his feet.
  
  6 He stood, and shook the earth. He looked, and made the nations tremble. The ancient mountains were crumbled. The age-old hills collapsed. His ways are eternal.
  
  7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction. The dwellings of the land of Midian trembled.
  
  8 Was Yahweh displeased with the rivers? Was your anger against the rivers, or your wrath against the sea, that you rode on your horses, on your chariots of salvation?
  
  9 You uncovered your bow. You called for your sworn arrows. Selah. You split the earth with rivers.
  
  10 The mountains saw you, and were afraid. The storm of waters passed by. The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high.
  
  11 The sun and moon stood still in the sky, at the light of your arrows as they went, at the shining of your glittering spear.
  
  12 You marched through the land in wrath. You threshed the nations in anger.
  
  13 You went forth for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the land of wickedness. You stripped them head to foot. Selah.
  
  14 You pierced the heads of his warriors with their own spears. They came as a whirlwind to scatter me, gloating as if to devour the wretched in secret.
  
  15 You trampled the sea with your horses, churning mighty waters.
  
  16 I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place, because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, for the coming up of the people who invade us.
  
  17 For though the fig tree doesn't flourish, nor fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive fails, the fields yield no food; the flocks are cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls:
  
  18 yet I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
  
  19 Yahweh, the Lord , is my strength. He makes my feet like deer's feet, and enables me to go in high places. For the music director, on my stringed instruments.
  
  3 Jean 1
  
  1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
  
  2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
  
  3 For I rejoiced greatly, when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
  
  4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear about my children walking in truth.
  
  5 Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
  
  6 They have testified about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a way worthy of God,
  
  7 because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
  
  8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
  
  9 I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn't accept what we say.
  
  10 Therefore if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.
  
  11 Beloved, don't imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn't seen God.
  
  12 Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.
  
  13 I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
  
  14 but I hope to see you soon, and we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
