- 2 Chroniques 9
  
  1 When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great train, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in her heart.
  
  2 Solomon told her all her questions; and there was not anything hidden from Solomon which he didn't tell her.
  
  3 When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
  
  4 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their clothing, his cup bearers also, and their clothing, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Yahweh; there was no more spirit in her.
  
  5 She said to the king, "It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.
  
  6 However I didn't believe their words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold, the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me: you exceed the fame that I heard.
  
  7 Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, and hear your wisdom.
  
  8 Blessed be Yahweh your God, who delighted in you, to set you on his throne, to be king for Yahweh your God: because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore made he you king over them, to do justice and righteousness."
  
  9 She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
  
  10 The servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
  
  11 The king made of the algum trees terraces for the house of Yahweh, and for the king's house, and harps and stringed instruments for the singers: and there were none like these seen before in the land of Judah.
  
  12 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides that which she had brought to the king. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
  
  13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
  
  14 besides that which the traders and merchants brought: and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
  
  15 King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one buckler.
  
  16 He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
  
  17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
  
  18 And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.
  
  19 Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps: there was nothing like it made in any kingdom.
  
  20 All king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: silver was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
  
  21 For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
  
  22 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
  
  23 All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
  
  24 They brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
  
  25 Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he stationed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
  
  26 He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
  
  27 The king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
  
  28 They brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
  
  29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, aren't they written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
  
  30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
  
  31 Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
  
  Sophonie 1
  
  1 The word of Yahweh which came to Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah.
  
  2 I will utterly sweep away everything off of the surface of the earth, says Yahweh.
  
  3 I will sweep away man and animal. I will sweep away the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and the heaps of rubble with the wicked. I will cut off man from the surface of the earth, says Yahweh.
  
  4 I will stretch out my hand against Judah, and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place: the name of the idolatrous and pagan priests,
  
  5 those who worship the army of the sky on the housetops, those who worship and swear by Yahweh and also swear by Malcam,
  
  6 those who have turned back from following Yahweh, and those who haven't sought Yahweh nor inquired after him.
  
  7 Be silent at the presence of the Lord Yahweh, for the day of Yahweh is at hand. For Yahweh has prepared a sacrifice. He has consecrated his guests.
  
  8 It will happen in the day of Yahweh's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, the king's sons, and all those who are clothed with foreign clothing.
  
  9 In that day, I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who fill their master's house with violence and deceit.
  
  10 In that day, says Yahweh, there will be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, a wailing from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills.
  
  11 Wail, you inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are undone! All those who were loaded with silver are cut off.
  
  12 It will happen at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are settled on their dregs, who say in their heart, "Yahweh will not do good, neither will he do evil."
  
  13 Their wealth will become a spoil, and their houses a desolation. Yes, they will build houses, but won't inhabit them. They will plant vineyards, but won't drink their wine.
  
  14 The great day of Yahweh is near. It is near, and hurries greatly, the voice of the day of Yahweh. The mighty man cries there bitterly.
  
  15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness,
  
  16 a day of the trumpet and alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high battlements.
  
  17 I will bring distress on men, that they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against Yahweh, and their blood will be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung.
  
  18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of Yahweh's wrath, but the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy; for he will make an end, yes, a terrible end, of all those who dwell in the land.
  
  Jude 1
  
  1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:
  
  2 Mercy to you and peace and love be multiplied.
  
  3 Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.
  
  4 For there are certain men who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into indecency, and denying our only Master, God, and Lord, Jesus Christ.
  
  5 Now I desire to remind you, though you already know this, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who didn't believe.
  
  6 Angels who didn't keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day.
  
  7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, having, in the same way as these, given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.
  
  8 Yet in the same way, these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings.
  
  9 But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, "May the Lord rebuke you!"
  
  10 But these speak evil of whatever things they don't know. What they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, they are destroyed in these things.
  
  11 Woe to them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in Korah's rebellion.
  
  12 These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
  
  13 wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.
  
  14 About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,
  
  15 to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."
  
  16 These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks proud things), showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
  
  17 But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  
  18 They said to you that "In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts."
  
  19 These are they who cause divisions, and are sensual, not having the Spirit.
  
  20 But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.
  
  21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
  
  22 On some have compassion, making a distinction,
  
  23 and some save, snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.
  
  24 Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,
  
  25 to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.
