- 2 Chroniques 17
  
  1 Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel.
  
  2 He placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
  
  3 Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn't seek the Baals,
  
  4 but sought to the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
  
  5 Therefore Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat tribute; and he had riches and honor in abundance.
  
  6 His heart was lifted up in the ways of Yahweh: and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.
  
  7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben Hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
  
  8 and with them the Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
  
  9 They taught in Judah, having the book of the law of Yahweh with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.
  
  10 The fear of Yahweh fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
  
  11 Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver for tribute; the Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred male goats.
  
  12 Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store.
  
  13 He had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem.
  
  14 This was the numbering of them according to their fathers' houses: Of Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him mighty men of valor three hundred thousand;
  
  15 and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand;
  
  16 and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to Yahweh; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
  
  17 Of Benjamin: Eliada a mighty man of valor, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
  
  18 and next to him Jehozabad and with him one hundred eighty thousand ready prepared for war.
  
  19 These were those who waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
  
  Zacharie 2
  
  1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
  
  2 Then I asked, "Where are you going?" He said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what is its length."
  
  3 Behold, the angel who talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
  
  4 and said to him, "Run, speak to this young man, saying, 'Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.
  
  5 For I,' says Yahweh, 'will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
  
  6 Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,' says Yahweh; 'for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,' says Yahweh.
  
  7 'Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.'
  
  8 For thus says Yahweh of Armies: 'For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.
  
  9 For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a spoil to those who served them; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me.
  
  10 Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for, behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you,' says Yahweh.
  
  11 Many nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.
  
  12 Yahweh will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
  
  13 Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!"
  
  Apocalypse 6
  
  1 I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, "Come and see!"
  
  2 And behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.
  
  3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come!"
  
  4 Another came forth, a red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword.
  
  5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, "Come and see!" And behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand.
  
  6 I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don't damage the oil and the wine!"
  
  7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, "Come and see!"
  
  8 And behold, a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hades followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him.
  
  9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had.
  
  10 They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"
  
  11 A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.
  
  12 I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood.
  
  13 The stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind.
  
  14 The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
  
  15 The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains.
  
  16 They told the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,
  
  17 for the great day of his wrath has come; and who is able to stand?"
