Jdg 15:1
But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest,
that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife
into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in.
Jdg 15:2 And her
father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I
gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she?
take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
Jdg 15:3 And
Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the
Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
Jdg 15:4 And
Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned
tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.
Jdg 15:5 And when
he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of
the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with
the vineyards and olives.
Jdg 15:6 Then the
Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law
of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion.
And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
Jdg 15:7 And
Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you,
and after that I will cease.
Jdg 15:8 And he
smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in
the top of the rock Etam.
Jdg 15:9 Then the
Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
Jdg 15:10 And the
men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind
Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.
Jdg 15:11 Then
three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to
Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is
this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did
unto me, so have I done unto them.
Jdg 15:12 And they
said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the
hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will
not fall upon me yourselves.
Jdg 15:13 And they
spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into
their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new
cords, and brought him up from the rock.
Jdg 15:14 And
when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of
the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms
became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his
hands.
Jdg 15:15 And he
found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a
thousand men therewith.
Jdg 15:16 And
Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an
ass have I slain a thousand men.
Jdg 15:17 And it
came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone
out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi.
Jdg 15:18 And he
was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great
deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and
fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
Jdg 15:19 But God
clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water
thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived:
wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which is in Lehi unto
this day.
Jdg 15:20 And he
judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Jdg 16:1
Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.
Jdg 16:2 And it
was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed him
in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all
the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him.
Jdg 16:3 And
Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate
of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them
upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is
before Hebron.
Jdg 16:4 And it
came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose
name was Delilah.
Jdg 16:5 And the
lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and
see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may
prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee
every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.
Jdg 16:6 And
Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth,
and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.
Jdg 16:7 And
Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never
dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
Jdg 16:8 Then the
lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been
dried, and she bound him with them.
Jdg 16:9 Now there
were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto
him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withs, as a
thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not
known.
Jdg 16:10 And
Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now
tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.
Jdg 16:11 And he
said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied,
then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
Jdg 16:12 Delilah
therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The
Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And there were liers in wait
abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread.
Jdg 16:13 And
Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell
me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the
seven locks of my head with the web.
Jdg 16:14 And she
fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be
upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin
of the beam, and with the web.
Jdg 16:15 And she
said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not
with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein
thy great strength lieth.
Jdg 16:16 And it
came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so
that his soul was vexed unto death;
Jdg 16:17 That he
told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon
mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if
I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be
like any other man.
Jdg 16:18 And when
Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the
lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all
his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money
in their hand.
Jdg 16:19 And she
made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to
shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his
strength went from him.
Jdg 16:20 And she
said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his
sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And
he wist not that the LORD was departed from him.
Jdg 16:21 But the
Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and
bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.
Jdg 16:22 Howbeit
the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.
Jdg 16:23 Then the
lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice
unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered
Samson our enemy into our hand.
Jdg 16:24 And when
the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath
delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which
slew many of us.
Jdg 16:25 And it
came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson,
that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house;
and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars.
Jdg 16:26 And
Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel
the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them.
Jdg 16:27 Now the
house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were
there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women,
that beheld while Samson made sport.
Jdg 16:28 And
Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee,
and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once
avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
Jdg 16:29 And
Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on
which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with
his left.
Jdg 16:30 And
Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all
his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were
therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they
which he slew in his life.
Jdg 16:31 Then his
brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him
up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his
father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
Joh 2:1
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the
mother of Jesus was there:
Joh 2:2 And both
Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
Joh 2:3 And when
they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
Joh 2:4 Jesus
saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
Joh 2:5 His mother
saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
Joh 2:6 And there
were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the
Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
Joh 2:7 Jesus
saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the
brim.
Joh 2:8 And he saith
unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare
it.
Joh 2:9 When the
ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence
it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast
called the bridegroom,
Joh 2:10 And saith
unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men
have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good
wine until now.
Joh 2:11 This
beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his
glory; and his disciples believed on him.
Joh 2:12 After
this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his
disciples: and they continued there not many days.
Joh 2:13 And the
Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
Joh 2:14 And found
in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of
money sitting:
Joh 2:15 And when
he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and
the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the
tables;
Joh 2:16 And said
unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house
an house of merchandise.
Joh 2:17 And his disciples
remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
Joh 2:18 Then
answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing
that thou doest these things?
Joh 2:19 Jesus
answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will
raise it up.
Joh 2:20 Then said
the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear
it up in three days?
Joh 2:21 But he
spake of the temple of his body.
Joh 2:22 When
therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said
this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had
said.
Joh 2:23 Now when
he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in
his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
Joh 2:24 But Jesus
did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
Joh 2:25 And
needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
Psa 103:1
A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul:
and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Psa 103:2 Bless
the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Psa 103:3 Who
forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Psa 103:4 Who
redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and
tender mercies;
Psa 103:5 Who
satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like
the eagle's.
Psa 103:6 The LORD
executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
Psa 103:7 He made
known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
Psa 103:8 The LORD
is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
Psa 103:9 He will
not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
Psa 103:10 He hath
not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
Psa 103:11 For as
the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them
that fear him.
Psa 103:12 As far
as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions
from us.
Psa 103:13 Like as
a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear
him.
Psa 103:14 For he
knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
Psa 103:15 As
for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he
flourisheth.
Psa 103:16 For the
wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no
more.
Psa 103:17 But the
mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear
him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
Psa 103:18 To such
as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
Psa 103:19 The
LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
Psa 103:20 Bless
the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments,
hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Psa 103:21 Bless
ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his
pleasure.
Psa 103:22 Bless
the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my
soul.
Pro 14:17 He
that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.
Pro 14:18 The
simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
Pro 14:19 The evil
bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
