Nehemiah 12:27-13:31
1 Corinthians 11:1-16
Psalm 35:1-16
Proverbs 21:17-18
Neh 12:27 And at the
dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their
places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both
with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with
harps.
Neh 12:28 And the sons
of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country
round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi;
Neh 12:29 Also from the
house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had
builded them villages round about Jerusalem.
Neh 12:30 And the
priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the
gates, and the wall.
Neh 12:31 Then I
brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies
of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand upon
the wall toward the dung gate:
Neh 12:32 And after
them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,
Neh 12:33 And Azariah,
Ezra, and Meshullam,
Neh 12:34 Judah, and
Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
Neh 12:35 And certain
of the priests' sons with trumpets; namely, Zechariah the son of
Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the
son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:
Neh 12:36 And his
brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah,
Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the
scribe before them.
Neh 12:37 And at the
fountain gate, which was over against them, they went up by the stairs of the
city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of David, even unto
the water gate eastward.
Neh 12:38 And the other
company of them that gave thanks went over against them, and I
after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of
the furnaces even unto the broad wall;
Neh 12:39 And from
above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and
the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and
they stood still in the prison gate.
Neh 12:40 So stood the
two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and
the half of the rulers with me:
Neh 12:41 And the
priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and
Hananiah, with trumpets;
Neh 12:42 And Maaseiah,
and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam,
and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their
overseer.
Neh 12:43 Also that day
they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with
great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of
Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
Neh 12:44 And at that
time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the
offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of
the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites:
for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.
Neh 12:45 And both the
singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the
purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his
son.
Neh 12:46 For in the
days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs
of praise and thanksgiving unto God.
Neh 12:47 And all
Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the
portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they
sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them
unto the children of Aaron.
Neh 13:1 On that day
they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was
found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the
congregation of God for ever;
Neh 13:2 Because they
met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam
against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into
a blessing.
Neh 13:3 Now it came to
pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the
mixed multitude.
Neh 13:4 And before
this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight of the chamber of the house of
our God, was allied unto Tobiah:
Neh 13:5 And he had
prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meat offerings,
the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine,
and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and the
singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests.
Neh 13:6 But in all
this time was not I at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of
Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and after certain days
obtained I leave of the king:
Neh 13:7 And I came to
Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in
preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.
Neh 13:8 And it grieved
me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the
chamber.
Neh 13:9 Then I
commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the
vessels of the house of God, with the meat offering and the frankincense.
Neh 13:10 And I
perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for
the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his
field.
Neh 13:11 Then
contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I
gathered them together, and set them in their place.
Neh 13:12 Then brought
all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the
treasuries.
Neh 13:13 And I made
treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and
of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur,
the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithful, and their office was
to distribute unto their brethren.
Neh 13:14 Remember me,
O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for
the house of my God, and for the offices thereof.
Neh 13:15 In those days
saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing
in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner
of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I
testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals.
Neh 13:16 There dwelt
men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold
on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
Neh 13:17 Then I
contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is
this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?
Neh 13:18 Did not your
fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this
city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.
Neh 13:19 And it came
to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath,
I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be
opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the
gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath
day.
Neh 13:20 So the
merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or
twice.
Neh 13:21 Then I
testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye
do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more
on the sabbath.
Neh 13:22 And I
commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they
should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember
me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the
greatness of thy mercy.
Neh 13:23 In those days
also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and
of Moab:
Neh 13:24 And their
children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews'
language, but according to the language of each people.
Neh 13:25 And I
contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked
off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give
your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for
yourselves.
Neh 13:26 Did not
Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no
king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all
Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.
Neh 13:27 Shall we then
hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in
marrying strange wives?
Neh 13:28 And one
of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son in
law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me.
Neh 13:29 Remember
them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of
the priesthood, and of the Levites.
Neh 13:30 Thus cleansed
I them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the
Levites, every one in his business;
Neh 13:31 And for the
wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my
God, for good.
1Co 11:1 Be ye
followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
1Co 11:2 Now I praise
you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I
delivered them to you.
1Co 11:3 But I would
have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is
the man; and the head of Christ is God.
1Co 11:4 Every man
praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his
head.
1Co 11:5 But every
woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth
her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
1Co 11:6 For if the
woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman
to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
1Co 11:7 For a man
indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and
glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
1Co 11:8 For the man is
not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
1Co 11:9 Neither was
the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
1Co 11:10 For this
cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the
angels.
1Co 11:11 Nevertheless
neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the
Lord.
1Co 11:12 For as the
woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but
all things of God.
1Co 11:13 Judge in
yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
1Co 11:14 Doth not even
nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto
him?
1Co 11:15 But if a
woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her
for a covering.
1Co 11:16 But if any
man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of
God.
Psa 35:1 A Psalm of David. Plead my cause, O
LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against
me.
Psa 35:2 Take hold of
shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
Psa 35:3 Draw out also
the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my
soul, I am thy salvation.
Psa 35:4 Let them be
confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back
and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
Psa 35:5 Let them be as
chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.
Psa 35:6 Let their way
be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.
Psa 35:7 For without
cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without
cause they have digged for my soul.
Psa 35:8 Let
destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch
himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
Psa 35:9 And my soul
shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
Psa 35:10 All my bones
shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from
him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that
spoileth him?
Psa 35:11 False
witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew
not.
Psa 35:12 They rewarded
me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
Psa 35:13 But as for
me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul
with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
Psa 35:14 I behaved
myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down
heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
Psa 35:15 But in mine
adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the
abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they
did tear me, and ceased not:
Psa 35:16 With
hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
Pro 21:17 He that
loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall
not be rich.
Pro 21:18 The wicked shall
be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
