Jeremiah
14-17
Jer
14:1 The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah concerning the
drought.
Jer
14:2 Judah mourns, and its gates languish, they sit in black on the
ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
Jer
14:3 Their nobles send their little ones to the waters: they come to
the cisterns, and find no water; they return with their vessels
empty; they are disappointed and confounded, and cover their heads.
Jer
14:4 Because of the ground which is cracked, because no rain has
been in the land, the plowmen are disappointed, they cover their
heads.
Jer
14:5 Yes, the hind also in the field calves, and forsakes her
young, because there is no grass.
Jer
14:6 The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights, they pant for air
like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage.
Jer
14:7 Though our iniquities testify against us, work you for your
name's sake, Yahweh; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned
against you.
Jer
14:8 You hope of Israel, its Savior in the time of trouble, why
should you be as a foreigner in the land, and as a wayfaring man who
turns aside to stay for a night?
Jer
14:9 Why should you be like a scared man, as a mighty man who can't
save? yet you, Yahweh, are in the midst of us, and we are called by
your name; don't leave us.
Jer
14:10 Thus says Yahweh to this people, Even so have they loved to
wander; they have not refrained their feet: therefore Yahweh does not
accept them; now he will remember their iniquity, and visit their
sins.
Jer
14:11 Yahweh said to me, Don't pray for this people for their
good.
Jer
14:12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer
burnt offering and meal offering, I will not accept them; but I will
consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Jer
14:13 Then said I, Ah, Lord Yahweh! behold, the prophets tell them,
You shall not see the sword, neither shall you have famine; but I
will give you assured peace in this place.
Jer
14:14 Then Yahweh said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name;
I didn't send them, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke I to
them: they prophesy to you a lying vision, and divination, and a
thing of nothing, and the deceit of their own heart.
Jer
14:15 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets who
prophesy in my name, and I didn't send them, yet they say, Sword and
famine shall not be in this land: By sword and famine shall those
prophets be consumed.
Jer
14:16 The people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the
streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they
shall have none to bury them--them, their wives, nor their sons, nor
their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness on them.
Jer
14:17 You shall say this word to them, Let my eyes run down with
tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter
of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous
wound.
Jer
14:18 If I go forth into the field, then, behold, the slain with the
sword! and if I enter into the city, then, behold, those who are sick
with famine! for both the prophet and the priest go about in the
land, and have no knowledge.
Jer
14:19 Have you utterly rejected Judah? has your soul loathed Zion?
why have you struck us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for
peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold,
dismay!
Jer
14:20 We acknowledge, Yahweh, our wickedness, and the iniquity of
our fathers; for we have sinned against you.
Jer
14:21 Do not abhor us,
for your name's sake; do not disgrace the throne of your glory:
remember, don't break your covenant with us.
Jer
14:22 Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause
rain? or can the sky give showers? Aren't you he, Yahweh our God?
therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.
Jer
15:1 Then said Yahweh to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before
me, yet my mind would not be toward this people: cast them out of my
sight, and let them go forth.
Jer
15:2 It shall happen, when they tell you, Where shall we go forth?
then you shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh: Such as are for death, to
death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are
for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to
captivity.
Jer
15:3 I will appoint over them four kinds, says Yahweh: the sword to
kill, and the dogs to tear, and the birds of the sky, and the animals
of the earth, to devour and to destroy.
Jer
15:4 I will cause them to be tossed back and forth among all the
kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king
of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
Jer
15:5 For who will have pity on you, Jerusalem? or who will bemoan
you? or who will turn aside to ask of your welfare?
Jer
15:6 You have rejected me, says Yahweh, you are gone backward:
therefore have I stretched out my hand against you, and destroyed
you; I am weary with repenting.
Jer
15:7 I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land; I
have bereaved them
of children, I have destroyed my people; they didn't return from
their ways.
Jer
15:8 Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas; I
have brought on them against the mother of the young men a destroyer
at noonday: I have caused anguish and terrors to fall on her
suddenly.
Jer
15:9 She who has borne seven languishes; she has given up the
spirit; her sun is gone down while it was yet day; she has been
disappointed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver
to the sword before their enemies, says Yahweh.
Jer
15:10 Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife
and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, neither
have men lent to me; yet
everyone of them does curse me.
Jer
15:11 Yahweh said, Most certainly I will strengthen you for good;
most certainly I will cause the enemy to make supplication to you in
the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
Jer
15:12 Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and brass?
Jer
15:13 Your substance and your treasures will I give for a spoil
without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders.
Jer
15:14 I will make them
to pass with your enemies into a land which you don't know; for a
fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn on you.
Jer
15:15 Yahweh, you know; remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of
my persecutors; don't take me away in your longsuffering: know that
for your sake I have suffered reproach.
Jer
15:16 Your words were found, and I ate them; and your words were to
me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name,
Yahweh, God of Armies.
Jer
15:17 I didn't sit in the assembly of those who make merry, nor
rejoiced; I sat alone because of your hand; for you have filled me
with indignation.
Jer
15:18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which
refuses to be healed? will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook,
as waters that fail?
Jer
15:19 Therefore thus says Yahweh, If you return, then will I bring
you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take forth the
precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth: they shall return
to you, but you shall not return to them.
Jer
15:20 I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall; and
they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you;
for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says Yahweh.
Jer
15:21 I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will
redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.
Jer
16:1 The word of Yahweh came also to me, saying,
Jer
16:2 You shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or
daughters, in this place.
Jer
16:3 For thus says Yahweh concerning the sons and concerning the
daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers
who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became the father of
them in this land:
Jer
16:4 They shall die grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented,
neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung on the surface of
the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine;
and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the sky, and for
the animals of the earth.
Jer
16:5 For thus says Yahweh, Don't enter into the house of mourning,
neither go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away my
peace from this people, says Yahweh, even loving kindness and tender
mercies.
Jer
16:6 Both great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be
buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor
make themselves bald for them;
Jer
16:7 neither shall men break bread
for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men
give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for
their mother.
Jer
16:8 You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them,
to eat and to drink.
Jer
16:9 For thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Behold, I
will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your
days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the
bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
Jer
16:10 It shall happen, when you shall show this people all these
words, and they shall tell you, Why has Yahweh pronounced all this
great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin
that we have committed against Yahweh our God?
Jer
16:11 Then you shall tell them, Because your fathers have forsaken
me, says Yahweh, and have walked after other gods, and have served
them, and have worshiped them, and have forsaken me, and have not
kept my law;
Jer
16:12 and you have done evil more than your fathers; for, behold,
you walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that
you don't listen to me:
Jer
16:13 therefore will I cast you forth out of this land into the land
that you have not known, neither you nor your fathers; and there you
shall serve other gods day and night; for I will show you no favor.
Jer
16:14 Therefore, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that it shall
no more be said, As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of
Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Jer
16:15 but, As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel
from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had
driven them. I will bring them again into their land that I gave to
their fathers.
Jer
16:16 Behold, I will send for many fishermen, says Yahweh, and they
shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and
they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and
out of the clefts of the rocks.
Jer
16:17 For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my
face, neither is their iniquity concealed from my eyes.
Jer
16:18 First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double,
because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their
detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their
abominations.
Jer
16:19 Yahweh, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the
day of affliction, to you shall the nations come from the ends of the
earth, and shall say, Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies,
even vanity
and things in which there is no profit.
Jer
16:20 Shall a man make to himself gods, which yet are no gods?
Jer
16:21 Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know, this once will I
cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my
name is Yahweh.
Jer
17:1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and
with the point of a diamond: it is engraved on the tablet of their
heart, and on the horns of your altars;
Jer
17:2 while their children remember their altars and their Asherim by
the green trees on the high hills.
Jer
17:3 My mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all
your treasures for a spoil, and
your high places, because of sin, throughout all your borders.
Jer
17:4 You, even of yourself, shall discontinue from your heritage
that I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in the
land which you don't know: for you have kindled a fire in my anger
which shall burn forever.
Jer
17:5 Thus says Yahweh: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and
makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Yahweh.
Jer
17:6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see
when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the
wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
Jer
17:7 Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose trust Yahweh
is.
Jer
17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads
out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but
its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of
drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Jer
17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly
corrupt: who can know it?
Jer
17:10 I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give
every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his
doings.
Jer
17:11 As the partridge that sits on eggs
which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right;
in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he
shall be a fool.
Jer
17:12 A glorious throne, set
on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
Jer
17:13 Yahweh, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be
disappointed. Those who depart from me shall be written in the earth,
because they have forsaken Yahweh, the spring of living waters.
Jer
17:14 Heal me, O Yahweh, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall
be saved: for you are my praise.
Jer
17:15 Behold, they tell me, Where is the word of Yahweh? let it come
now.
Jer
17:16 As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you;
neither have I desired the woeful day; you know: that which came out
of my lips was before your face.
Jer
17:17 Don't be a terror to me: you are my refuge in the day of evil.
Jer
17:18 Let them be disappointed who persecute me, but let not me be
disappointed; let them be dismayed, but don't let me be dismayed;
bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double
destruction.
Jer
17:19 Thus said Yahweh to me: Go, and stand in the gate of the
children of the people, through which the kings of Judah come in, and
by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
Jer
17:20 and tell them, Hear you the word of Yahweh, you kings of
Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that
enter in by these gates:
Jer
17:21 Thus says Yahweh, Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden
on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
Jer
17:22 neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath
day holy, neither do any work: but make the Sabbath day, as I
commanded your fathers.
Jer
17:23 But they didn't listen, neither turn their ear, but made their
neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive
instruction.
Jer
17:24 It shall happen, if you diligently listen to me, says Yahweh,
to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath
day, but to make the Sabbath day holy, to do no work therein;
Jer
17:25 then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and
princes sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on
horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall remain forever.
Jer
17:26 They shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places
around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the
lowland, and from the hill country, and from the South, bringing
burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meal offerings, and
frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of
thanksgiving, to the house of Yahweh.
Jer
17:27 But if you will not listen to me to make the Sabbath day holy,
and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on
the Sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall
devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

The
Composite
Bible
is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black
text)
for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the
most literal translation-
red text)
at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.

confounded, and

have
come
unto ditches, They have not found water, They have turned back --

vessels

head.

Because
of the ground which is cracked, because no rain has been in the land,

to shame, they cover their heads.

Yes,
the hind also in the field calves, and forsakes [her young], because
there is no grass.

For there hath
been
no grass.

The
wild donkeys stand on the bare heights, they pant for air like
jackals; their eyes fail,
because
there is no herbage.

like

Consumed have been their eyes, for there is no herb.

our iniquities testify against us, work you for your name`s sake,
Yahweh; for our
backslidings
are many; we have sinned against you.

sake; for our
backslidings
are many -- we have sinned against thee.

name`s
sake,
For many have been our backslidings, Against Thee we have sinned.

You
hope of Israel, the Savior of it in the time of trouble, why should
you be as a sojourner in the land,
and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to stay for a night?
Thou
hope of Israel, its Saviour in the time of trouble, why wilt thou be
as a stranger in

sojourner in
the
land? And as a traveller turned aside to lodge?

should you be like a scared man, as a mighty man who can`t save? yet
you, Yahweh, are in the
midst of us, and we are called by your name; don`t leave us.

wilt thou be as a man astonished, as a mighty man that cannot save?
Yet thou,
Jehovah,
art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name: leave us not.

[art] in
our
midst, O Jehovah, And Thy name over us is called, leave us not.

Thus
says Yahweh to this people, Even so have they loved to wander; they
have not refrained their
feet: therefore Yahweh does not accept them; now will he remember
their iniquity, and visit
their sins.
Thus
saith Jehovah to this people: Even so have they loved to wander,
they have not
refrained
their feet; and Jehovah hath no delight in them: now will he
remember their
iniquity,
and visit their sins.

said Jehovah concerning this people: Well they have loved to wander,
Their
feet
they have not restrained, And Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now
doth He
remember
their iniquity, And inspect their sin.
Jeremiah 14 11

said to me, Don`t pray for this people for [their] good.

When
they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt
offering and meal-offering, I will
not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, and by the
famine, and by the pestilence.
When
they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer up
burnt-offering and
oblation,
I will not accept them: for I will consume them by sword, and by
famine, and by
pestilence.
When
they fast, I hearken not unto their cry, And when they cause to
ascend
burnt-offering
and present, I accept them not, For by sword, and by famine, And
by
pestilence, I am consuming them.
Jeremiah 14 13
Then
said I, Ah, Lord Yahweh! behold, the prophets tell them, You shall
not see the sword,
neither
shall you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this
place.
And
I said, Alas, Lord Jehovah! Behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye
shall not see the
sword,
neither shall ye have famine; for I will give you assured peace in
this place.
And
I say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, Lo, the prophets are saying to them: Ye do
not see a
sword,
yea, famine is not to you, For true peace I give to you in this
place.`
Jeremiah 14 14
Then
Yahweh said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name; I didn`t
send them, neither have
I commanded them, neither spoke I to them: they prophesy to you a
lying vision, and divination,
and a thing of nothing, and the deceit of their own heart.
And
Jehovah said unto me, The prophets prophesy falsehood in my name; I
have not sent
them,
neither have I commanded them, nor spoken unto them: they prophesy
unto you a
false
vision, and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of
their heart.
And
Jehovah saith unto me: Falsehood the prophets are prophesying in My
name, I
did
not send them, nor command them, Nor have I spoken unto them: A
false
vision,
and divination, and vanity, And the deceit of their own heart, they
are
prophesying
to you.
Jeremiah 14 15
Therefore
thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, and
I didn`t send
them, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By
sword and famine shall those
prophets be consumed.
Therefore
thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name,
and I
sent
them not, and who say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land:
By sword and by
famine
shall those prophets be consumed;
Therefore,
thus said Jehovah concerning the prophets who are prophesying in My
name,
and I have not sent them, and they are saying, Sword and famine is
not in
this
land: By sword and by famine are these prophets consumed.
Jeremiah 14 16
The
people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of
Jerusalem because of the famine
and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them-them, their
wives, nor their sons, nor
their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness on them.
and
the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of
Jerusalem,
because
of the famine and the sword; and there shall be none to bury them,
them, their
wives,
and their sons, and their daughters; and I will pour their
wickedness upon them.
And
the people to whom they are prophesying, Are cast into out-places of
Jerusalem,
Because of the famine, and of the sword, And they have none burying
them,
Them, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, And I have
poured
out
upon them this evil.
Jeremiah 14 17
You
shall say this word to them, Let my eyes run down with tears night
and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great
breach, with a very grievous wound.
And
thou shalt say this word unto them: Let mine eyes run down with
tears, night and
day,
and not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a
great breach,
with
a very grievous blow.
And
thou hast said unto them this word: Tears come down mine eyes night
and
day,
And they do not cease, For, [with] a great breach, Broken hath been
the
virgin
daughter of my people, A very grievous stroke.
Jeremiah 14 18
If
I go forth into the field, then, behold, the slain with the sword!
and if I enter into the city,
then,
behold, those who are sick with famine! for both the prophet and the
priest go about in the
land, and have no knowledge.
If
I go forth into the field, behold the slain with the sword! and if I
enter into the city,
behold
them that pine away with famine! For both prophet and priest shall
go about into
a
land that they know not.
If
I have gone forth to the field, Then, lo, the pierced of the sword!
And if I have
entered
the city, Then, lo, the diseased of famine! For both prophet and
priest
have
gone up and down Unto a land that they knew not.
Jeremiah 14 19
Have
you utterly rejected Judah? has your soul loathed Zion? why have you
struck us, and there is
no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a
time of healing, and, behold,
dismay!
--
Hast thou then utterly rejected Judah? Doth thy soul loathe Zion?
Why hast thou
smitten
us, and there is no healing for us? Peace is looked for, and there
is no good, -- and
a time of healing, and behold terror!
Hast
Thou utterly rejected Judah? Zion hath Thy soul loathed? Wherefore
hast
Thou
smitten us, And there is no healing to us? Looking for peace, and
there is no
good,
And for a time of healing, and lo, terror.
Jeremiah 14 20
We
acknowledge, Yahweh, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers;
for we have sinned against
you.
Jehovah,
we acknowledge our wickedness, the iniquity of our fathers; for we
have sinned
against
thee.
We
have known, O Jehovah, our wickedness, The iniquity of our fathers,
For we
have
sinned against Thee.
Jeremiah 14 21
Do
not abhor [us], for your name`s sake; do not disgrace the throne of
your glory: remember, don`t

a year of dearth he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making
fruit.
Jeremiah 17 9
The
heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt:

The
heart is deceitful above all things, and incurable; who can know it?
Crooked
[is] the heart above all things, And it [is] incurable -- who doth
know it?

I,
Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man
according to his ways,
according
to the fruit of his doings.

according to his ways,
according
to the fruit of his doings.
I
Jehovah do search the heart, try the reins, Even to give to each
according to his
way,
According to the fruit of his doings.
Jeremiah 17 11
As
the partridge that sits on [eggs] which she has not laid, so is he
who gets riches, and not by right;
in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he
shall be a fool.
[As]
the partridge sitteth on [eggs] it hath not laid, [so] is he that
getteth riches and not
by
right: in the midst of his days shall he leave them, and at his end
shall be a fool.
A

right,
In the midst of his days he doth forsake it, And in his latter end
-- he is a
fool.

Yahweh,
the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be put to shame. Those
who depart from me shall
be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Yahweh, the
spring of living waters.
Thou
hope of Israel, Jehovah! all that forsake thee shall be ashamed.
They that depart from
me shall be written in the earth; because they have forsaken
Jehovah, the fountain of
living
waters.

hope of Israel [is] Jehovah, All forsaking Thee are ashamed, And `My
apostates`
in the earth are written, For they have forsaken Jehovah, A fountain
of living
waters.

they are saying unto me: `Where [is] the word of Jehovah? pray, let
it come.`
Jeremiah 17 16
As
for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you; neither
have I desired the woeful day;
you know: that which came out of my lips was before your face.
But
as for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd in following
thee, neither have I
desired the fatal day, thou knowest: that which came out of my lips
was before thy face.

I hastened not from feeding after Thee, And the desperate day I have
not
desired,
Thou -- Thou hast known, The produce of my lips, before Thy face it
hath
been,

destruction.
Let
them be ashamed that persecute me, but let not me be ashamed; let
them be
dismayed,
but let not me be dismayed; bring upon them the day of evil, and
break them
with
a double breaking.
Let
my pursuers be ashamed, and let not me be ashamed -- me! Let them be
affrighted,
and let not me be affrighted -- me! Bring in on them a day of evil,
And
a
second time [with] destruction destroy them.

Hebrews 2
Heb 2:1 Therefore we
ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest
perhaps we drift away.
Heb 2:2 For if the word
spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and
disobedience received a just recompense;
Heb 2:3 how will we
escape if we neglect so great a salvation--which at the first having
been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;
Heb 2:4 God also
testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various works of
power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?
Heb 2:5 For he didn't
subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.
Heb 2:6 But one has
somewhere testified, saying, "What is man, that you think of
him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?
Heb 2:7 You made him a
little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor.
Heb 2:8 You have put
all things in subjection under his feet." For in that he
subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to
him. But now we don't see all things subjected to him, yet.
Heb 2:9 But we see him
who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of
the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the
grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.
Heb 2:10 For it became
him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in
bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their
salvation perfect through sufferings.
Heb 2:11 For both he
who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for
which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,
Heb 2:12 saying, "I
will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the
congregation I will sing your praise."
Heb 2:13 Again, "I
will put my trust in him." Again, "Behold, here I am with
the children whom God has given me."
Heb 2:14 Since then the
children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in like
manner partook of the same, that through death he might bring to
nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,
Heb 2:15 and might
deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime
subject to bondage.
Heb 2:16 For most
certainly, he doesn't give help to angels, but he gives help to the
seed of Abraham.
Heb 2:17 Therefore he
was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he
might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining
to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.
Heb 2:18 For in that he
himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are
tempted.

The
Composite
Bible
is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black
text)
for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the
most literal translation-
red text)
at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.
Hebrews
Hebrews 2 1
Therefore
we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest
perhaps we drift away.
For
this reason we should give heed more abundantly to the things [we
have] heard, lest
in
any way we should slip away.
Because
of this it behoveth [us] more abundantly to take heed to the things
heard,
lest we may glide aside,
Hebrews 2 2
For
if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every
transgression and
disobedience
received a just recompense;
For
if the word which was spoken by angels was firm, and every
transgression and
disobedience
received just retribution,
for
if the word being spoken through messengers did become stedfast, and
every
transgression
and disobedience did receive a just recompense,
Hebrews 2 3
how
will we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation -- which at the
first having been spoken through
the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;
how
shall *we* escape if we have been negligent of so great salvation,
which, having had
its
commencement in being spoken [of] by the Lord, has been confirmed to
us by those
who
have heard;
how
shall we escape, having neglected so great salvation? which a
beginning
receiving
-- to be spoken through the Lord -- by those having heard was
confirmed
to us,
Hebrews 2 4
God
also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders, and by
various works of power, and
by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?
God
bearing, besides, witness with [them] to [it], both by signs and
wonders, and various
acts
of power, and distributions of [the] Holy Spirit, according to his
will?

also bearing joint-witness both with signs and wonders, and manifold
powers,
and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to His will.
Hebrews 2 5
For
he didn`t subject the world to come, whereof we speak, to angels.

he has not subjected to angels the habitable world which is to come,
of which we
speak;
For
not to messengers did He subject the coming world, concerning which
we
speak,
Hebrews 2 6
But
one has somewhere testified, saying, "What is man, that you
think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?
but
one has testified somewhere, saying, What is man, that thou
rememberest him, or son
of man that thou visitest him?
and
one in a certain place did testify fully, saying, `What is man, that
Thou art
mindful
of him, or a son of man, that Thou dost look after him?
Hebrews 2 7
You
made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory
and honor.
Thou
hast made him some little inferior to the angels; thou hast crowned
him with glory
and
honour, [and hast set him over the works of thy hands;]
Thou
didst make him some little less than messengers, with glory and
honour
Thou
didst crown him, and didst set him over the works of Thy hands,
Hebrews 2 8
You
have put all things in subjection under his feet." For in
that he subjected all things to
him,
he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don`t see all
things subjected to him,
thou
hast subjected all things under his feet. For in subjecting all
things to him, he has
left
nothing unsubject to him. But now we see not yet all things
subjected to *him*,
all
things Thou didst put in subjection under his feet,` for in the
subjecting to
him
the all things, nothing did He leave to him unsubjected, and now not
yet do
we
see the all things subjected to him,
Hebrews 2 9
But
we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus,
because of the suffering of
death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he
should taste of death for everyone.
but
we see Jesus, who [was] made some little inferior to angels on
account of the suffering
of death, crowned with glory and honour; so that by the grace of God
he should taste
death
for every thing.
and
him who was made some little less than messengers we see -- Jesus --
because
of
the suffering of the death, with glory and honour having been
crowned, that by
the
grace of God for every one he might taste of death.
Hebrews 2 10
For
it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all
things, in bringing many sons
to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through
sufferings.
For
it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom [are] all
things, in bringing
many
sons to glory, to make perfect the leader of their salvation through
sufferings.
For
it was becoming to Him, because of whom [are] the all things, and
through
whom
[are] the all things, many sons to glory bringing, the author of
their
salvation
through sufferings to make perfect,
Hebrews 2 11
For
both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one,
for which cause he is not
ashamed to call them brothers,
For
both he that sanctifies and those sanctified [are] all of one; for
which cause he is not
ashamed
to call them brethren,
for
both he who is sanctifying and those sanctified [are] all of one,
for which cause
he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

congregation will I sing your
praise."

I will declare thy name to my brethren; in [the] midst of [the]
assembly will I sing
thy praises.
saying,
`I will declare Thy name to my brethren, in the midst of an assembly
I will
sing
praise to Thee;` and again, `I will be trusting on Him;`
Hebrews 2 13
Again,
"I will put my trust in him." Again, "Behold, here am
I and the children whom God has given
me."
And
again, I will trust in him. And again, Behold, I and the children
which God has given
me.
and
again, `Behold I and the children that God did give to me.`
Hebrews 2 14
Since
then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in
like manner partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had
the power of death, that is,
the devil,
Since
therefore the children partake of blood and flesh, he also, in like
manner, took part
in the same, that through death he might annul him who has the might
of death, that is,
the
devil;
Seeing,
then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also
in like
manner did take part of the same, that through death he might
destroy him
having
the power of death -- that is, the devil --
Hebrews 2 15
and
might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their
lifetime subject to
bondage.
and
might set free all those who through fear of death through the whole
of their life
were
subject to bondage.
and
might deliver those, whoever, with fear of death, throughout all
their life,
were
subjects of bondage,
Hebrews 2 16
For
most assuredly, not to angels does he give help, but he gives help to
the seed of Abraham.
For
he does not indeed take hold of angels [by the hand], but he takes
hold of the seed of
Abraham.
for,
doubtless, of messengers it doth not lay hold, but of seed of
Abraham it layeth
hold,

might become a merciful
and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make

make propitiation for
the sins of the people;

might
become a kind and stedfast chief-priest in the things with God, to
make
propitiation
for the sins of the people,

in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help
those who are tempted.

those that are being
tempted.
for
in that he suffered, himself being tempted, he is able to help those
who are
tempted.
