Proverbs 20:24-25
Ezr 3:1 And when the
seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities,
the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
Ezr 3:2 Then stood up
Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son
of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to
offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the
man of God.
Ezr 3:3 And they set
the altar upon his bases; for fear was upon them because of the people
of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD, even
burnt offerings morning and evening.
Ezr 3:4 They kept also
the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily
burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day
required;
Ezr 3:5 And afterward offered
the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts
of the LORD that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a
freewill offering unto the LORD.
Ezr 3:6 From the first
day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD. But
the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid.
Ezr 3:7 They gave money
also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto
them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the
sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of
Persia.
Ezr 3:8 Now in the
second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second
month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak,
and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they
that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites,
from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the
LORD.
Ezr 3:9 Then stood
Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of
Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of
Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.
Ezr 3:10 And when the
builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in
their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to
praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.
Ezr 3:11 And they sang
together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he
is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the
people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the
foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.
Ezr 3:12 But many of
the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men,
that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid
before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for
joy:
Ezr 3:13 So that the
people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the
weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise
was heard afar off.
Ezr 4:1 Now when the
adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity
builded the temple unto the LORD God of Israel;
Ezr 4:2 Then they came
to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us
build with you: for we seek your God, as ye do; and we do sacrifice unto
him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assur, which brought us up
hither.
Ezr 4:3 But Zerubbabel,
and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them,
Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God; but we ourselves
together will build unto the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of
Persia hath commanded us.
Ezr 4:4 Then the people
of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in
building,
Ezr 4:5 And hired
counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus
king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.
Ezr 4:6 And in the
reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, wrote they unto him
an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.
Ezr 4:7 And in the days
of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their
companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was
written in the Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue.
Ezr 4:8 Rehum the
chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to
Artaxerxes the king in this sort:
Ezr 4:9 Then wrote
Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their
companions; the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites,
the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the Dehavites, and the
Elamites,
Ezr 4:10 And the rest
of the nations whom the great and noble Asnappar brought over, and set in the
cities of Samaria, and the rest that are on this side the river, and at
such a time.
Ezr 4:11 This is
the copy of the letter that they sent unto him, even unto Artaxerxes the
king; Thy servants the men on this side the river, and at such a time.
Ezr 4:12 Be it known
unto the king, that the Jews which came up from thee to us are come unto
Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad city, and have set up the walls thereof,
and joined the foundations.
Ezr 4:13 Be it known
now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls set up again,
then will they not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt
endamage the revenue of the kings.
Ezr 4:14 Now because we
have maintenance from the king's palace, and it was not meet for us to
see the king's dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified the king;
Ezr 4:15 That search
may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in
the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city,
and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within
the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed.
Ezr 4:16 We certify the
king that, if this city be builded again, and the walls thereof set up,
by this means thou shalt have no portion on this side the river.
Ezr 4:17 Then
sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the
scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and unto
the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a time.
Ezr 4:18 The letter
which ye sent unto us hath been plainly read before me.
Ezr 4:19 And I
commanded, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old
time hath made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and
sedition have been made therein.
Ezr 4:20 There have
been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, which have ruled over all countries
beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid unto them.
Ezr 4:21 Give ye now
commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded,
until another commandment shall be given from me.
Ezr 4:22 Take heed now
that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the
kings?
Ezr 4:23 Now when the
copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the
scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews,
and made them to cease by force and power.
Ezr 4:24 Then ceased
the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto
the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
1Co 2:6 Howbeit we
speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor
of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
1Co 2:7 But we speak
the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God
ordained before the world unto our glory:
1Co 2:8 Which none of
the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not
have crucified the Lord of glory.
1Co 2:9 But as it is
written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart
of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
1Co 2:10 But God hath
revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all
things, yea, the deep things of God.
1Co 2:11 For what man
knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so
the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1Co 2:12 Now we have
received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we
might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1Co 2:13 Which things
also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy
Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1Co 2:14 But the
natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are
foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are
spiritually discerned.
1Co 2:15 But he that is
spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
1Co 2:16 For who hath
known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of
Christ.
1Co 3:1 And I,
brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even
as unto babes in Christ.
1Co 3:2 I have fed you
with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it,
neither yet now are ye able.
1Co 3:3 For ye are yet
carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and
divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
1Co 3:4 For while one
saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not
carnal?
Psa 28:1 A Psalm of David. Unto thee will I cry, O
LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I
become like them that go down into the pit.
Psa 28:2 Hear the voice
of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy
holy oracle.
Psa 28:3 Draw me not
away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to
their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
Psa 28:4 Give them
according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours:
give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
Psa 28:5 Because they
regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall
destroy them, and not build them up.
Psa 28:6 Blessed be
the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
Psa 28:7 The LORD is
my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore
my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
Psa 28:8 The LORD is
their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.
Psa 28:9 Save thy
people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for
ever.
Pro 20:24 Man's goings are
of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?
Pro 20:25 It is
a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after
vows to make enquiry.
