Jeremiah
22-25
Jer
22:1 Thus said Yahweh: Go down to the house of the king of Judah,
and speak there this word,
Jer
22:2 Say, Hear the word of Yahweh, king of Judah, who sits on the
throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people who enter in
by these gates.
Jer
22:3 Thus says Yahweh: Execute you justice and righteousness, and
deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no
wrong, do no violence, to the foreigner, the fatherless, nor the
widow; neither shed innocent blood in this place.
Jer
22:4 For if you do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by
the gates of this house kings sitting on the throne of David, riding
in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
Jer
22:5 But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself, says
Yahweh, that this house shall become a desolation.
Jer
22:6 For thus says Yahweh concerning the house of the king of Judah:
You are Gilead to me, and
the head of Lebanon; yet
surely I will make you a wilderness, and
cities which are not inhabited.
Jer
22:7 I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his
weapons; and they shall cut down your choice cedars, and cast them
into the fire.
Jer
22:8 Many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every
man to his neighbor, Why has Yahweh done thus to this great city?
Jer
22:9 Then they shall answer, Because they forsook the covenant of
Yahweh their God, and worshiped other gods, and served them.
Jer
22:10 Don't you weep for the dead, neither bemoan him; but weep sore
for him who goes away; for he shall return no more, nor see his
native country.
Jer
22:11 For thus says Yahweh touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king
of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and
who went forth out of this place: He shall not return there any more.
Jer
22:12 But in the place where they have led him captive, there shall
he die, and he shall see this land no more.
Jer
22:13 Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his
chambers by injustice; who uses his neighbor's service without wages,
and doesn't give him his hire;
Jer
22:14 who says, I will build me a wide house and spacious chambers,
and cuts him out windows; and it is ceiling with cedar, and painted
with vermilion.
Jer
22:15 Shall you reign, because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn't
your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? then it
was well with him.
Jer
22:16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well.
Wasn't this to know me? says Yahweh.
Jer
22:17 But your eyes and your heart are not but for your
covetousness, and for shedding innocent blood, and for oppression,
and for violence, to do it.
Jer
22:18 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning Jehoiakim the son of
Josiah, king of Judah: they shall not lament for him, saying,
Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! They shall not lament for him, saying
Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
Jer
22:19 He shall be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast
forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
Jer
22:20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up your voice in Bashan,
and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers are destroyed.
Jer
22:21 I spoke to you in your prosperity; but you said, I will not
hear. This has been your manner from your youth, that you didn't obey
my voice.
Jer
22:22 The wind shall feed all your shepherds, and your lovers shall
go into captivity: surely then you will be ashamed and confounded for
all your wickedness.
Jer
22:23 Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how
greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you, the pain as
of a woman in travail!
Jer
22:24 As I live, says Yahweh, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim
king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, yet would I pluck you
there;
Jer
22:25 and I will give you into the hand of those who seek your life,
and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand
of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the
Chaldeans.
Jer
22:26 I will cast you out, and your mother who bore you, into
another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.
Jer
22:27 But to the land whereunto their soul longs to return, there
shall they not return.
Jer
22:28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? is he a vessel in
which none delights? why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are
cast into the land which they don't know?
Jer
22:29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of Yahweh.
Jer
22:30 Thus says Yahweh, Write you this man childless, a man who
shall not prosper in his days; for no more shall a man of his seed
prosper, sitting on the throne of David, and ruling in Judah.
Jer
23:1 Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my
pasture! says Yahweh.
Jer
23:2 Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, against the
shepherds who feed my people: You have scattered my flock, and driven
them away, and have not visited them; behold, I will visit on you the
evil of your doings, says Yahweh.
Jer
23:3 I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries
where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds;
and they shall be fruitful and multiply.
Jer
23:4 I will set up shepherds over them, who shall feed them; and
they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be
lacking, says Yahweh.
Jer
23:5 Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will raise to David
a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and
shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
Jer
23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell
safely; and this is his name by which he shall be called: Yahweh our
righteousness.
Jer
23:7 Therefore, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that they shall
no more say, As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel
out of the land of Egypt;
Jer
23:8 but, As Yahweh lives, who brought up and who led the seed of
the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the
countries where I had driven them. They shall dwell in their own
land.
Jer
23:9 Concerning the prophets. My heart within me is broken, all my
bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has
overcome, because of Yahweh, and because of his holy words.
Jer
23:10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing
the land mourns; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. Their
course is evil, and their might is not right;
Jer
23:11 for both prophet and priest are profane; yes, in my house have
I found their wickedness, says Yahweh.
Jer
23:12 Therefore their way shall be to them as slippery places in the
darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein; for I will bring
evil on them, even the year of their visitation, says Yahweh.
Jer
23:13 I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied
by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
Jer
23:14 In the prophets of Jerusalem also I have seen a horrible
thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies; and they strengthen
the hands of evildoers, so that none does return from his wickedness:
they are all of them become to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as
Gomorrah.
Jer
23:15 Therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies concerning the prophets:
Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water
of gall; for from the prophets of Jerusalem is ungodliness gone forth
into all the land.
Jer
23:16 Thus says Yahweh of Armies, Don't listen to the words of the
prophets who prophesy to you: they teach you vanity; they speak a
vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of Yahweh.
Jer
23:17 They say continually to those who despise me, Yahweh has said,
You shall have peace; and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness
of his own heart they say, No evil shall come on you.
Jer
23:18 For who has stood in the council of Yahweh, that he should
perceive and hear his word? who has marked my word, and heard it?
Jer
23:19 Behold, the storm of Yahweh, even
his wrath, is gone forth, yes, a
whirling storm: it shall burst on the head of the wicked.
Jer
23:20 The anger of Yahweh shall not return, until he has executed,
and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter
days you shall understand it perfectly.
Jer
23:21 I sent not these prophets, yet they ran: I didn't speak to
them, yet they prophesied.
Jer
23:22 But if they had stood in my council, then had they caused my
people to hear my words, and had turned them from their evil way, and
from the evil of their doings.
Jer
23:23 Am I a God at hand, says Yahweh, and not a God afar off?
Jer
23:24 Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see
him? says Yahweh. Don't I fill heaven and earth? says Yahweh.
Jer
23:25 I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in
my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
Jer
23:26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who
prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?
Jer
23:27 who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams
which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my
name for Baal.
Jer
23:28 The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who
has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to
the wheat? says Yahweh.
Jer
23:29 Isn't my word like fire? says Yahweh; and like a hammer that
breaks the rock in pieces?
Jer
23:30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, says Yahweh, who
steal my words everyone from his neighbor.
Jer
23:31 Behold, I am against the prophets, says Yahweh, who use their
tongues, and say, He says.
Jer
23:32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, says
Yahweh, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies,
and by their vain boasting: yet I didn't send them, nor commanded
them; neither do they profit this people at all, says Yahweh.
Jer
23:33 When this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you,
saying, What is the burden of Yahweh? then you shall tell them, What
burden! I will cast you off, says Yahweh.
Jer
23:34 As for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, who shall
say, The burden of Yahweh, I will even punish that man and his house.
Jer
23:35 You shall say everyone to his neighbor, and everyone to his
brother, What has Yahweh answered? and, What has Yahweh spoken?
Jer
23:36 You shall mention the burden of Yahweh no more: for every
man's own word shall be his burden; for you have perverted the words
of the living God, of Yahweh of Armies our God.
Jer
23:37 You shall say to the prophet, What has Yahweh answered you?
and, What has Yahweh spoken?
Jer
23:38 But if you say, The burden of Yahweh; therefore thus says
Yahweh: Because you say this word, The burden of Yahweh, and I have
sent to you, saying, You shall not say, The burden of Yahweh;
Jer
23:39 therefore, behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast
you off, and the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, away
from my presence:
Jer
23:40 and I will bring an everlasting reproach on you, and a
perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
Jer
24:1 Yahweh showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs set before
the temple of Yahweh, after that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had
carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah,
and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from
Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
Jer
24:2 One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are
first-ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not
be eaten, they were so bad.
Jer
24:3 Then said Yahweh to me, What see you, Jeremiah? I said, Figs;
the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, that can't be eaten,
they are so bad.
Jer
24:4 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Jer
24:5 Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so
will I regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this
place into the land of the Chaldeans, for good.
Jer
24:6 For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them
again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down;
and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
Jer
24:7 I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Yahweh: and they
shall be my people, and I will be their God; for they shall return to
me with their whole heart.
Jer
24:8 As the bad figs, which can't be eaten, they are so bad, surely
thus says Yahweh, So will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and
his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, who remain in this land,
and those who dwell in the land of Egypt,
Jer
24:9 I will even give them up to be tossed back and forth among all
the kingdoms of the earth for evil; to be a reproach and a proverb, a
taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them.
Jer
24:10 I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among
them, until they be consumed from off the land that I gave to them
and to their fathers.
Jer
25:1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of
Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of
Judah (the same was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon),
Jer
25:2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah,
and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
Jer
25:3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of
Judah, even to this day, these twenty-three years, the word of Yahweh
has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising up early and
speaking; but you have not listened.
Jer
25:4 Yahweh has sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising up
early and sending them (but you have not listened, nor inclined your
ear to hear)
Jer
25:5 saying, Return now everyone from his evil way, and from the
evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that Yahweh has given to
you and to your fathers, from of old and even forevermore;
Jer
25:6 and don't go after other gods to serve them or worship them,
and don't provoke me to anger with the work of your hands; and I will
do you no harm.
Jer
25:7 Yet you have not listened to me, says Yahweh; that you may
provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt.
Jer
25:8 Therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies: Because you have not
heard my words,
Jer
25:9 behold, I will send and take all the families of the north,
says Yahweh, and I will send
to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring
them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all
these nations around; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them
an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
Jer
25:10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the
voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the
bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
Jer
25:11 This whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment;
and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
Jer
25:12 It shall happen, when seventy years are accomplished, that I
will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, says Yahweh, for
their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it
desolate forever.
Jer
25:13 I will bring on that land all my words which I have pronounced
against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has
prophesied against all the nations.
Jer
25:14 For many nations and great kings shall make bondservants of
them, even of them; and I will recompense them according to their
deeds, and according to the work of their hands.
Jer
25:15 For thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, to me: take this cup
of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I
send you, to drink it.
Jer
25:16 They shall drink, and reel back and forth, and be mad, because
of the sword that I will send among them.
Jer
25:17 Then took I the cup at Yahweh's hand, and made all the nations
to drink, to whom Yahweh had sent me:
Jer
25:18 to wit,
Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its princes,
to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse,
as it is this day;
Jer
25:19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and
all his people;
Jer
25:20 and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of the
Uz, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and
Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
Jer
25:21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;
Jer
25:22 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the
kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;
Jer
25:23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all who have the corners of
their hair cut off;
Jer
25:24 and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed
people who dwell in the wilderness;
Jer
25:25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all
the kings of the Medes;
Jer
25:26 and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with
another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are on the surface
of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
Jer
25:27 You shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of
Israel: Drink you, and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no
more, because of the sword which I will send among you.
Jer
25:28 It shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to
drink, then you shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh of Armies: You
shall surely drink.
Jer
25:29 For, behold, I begin to work evil at the city which is called
by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be
unpunished; for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the
earth, says Yahweh of Armies.
Jer
25:30 Therefore prophesy you against them all these words, and tell
them, Yahweh will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his
holy habitation; he will mightily roar against his fold; he will give
a shout, as those who tread the grapes,
against all the inhabitants of the earth.
Jer
25:31 A noise shall come even to the end of the earth; for Yahweh
has a controversy with the nations; he will enter into judgment with
all flesh: as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword, says
Yahweh.
Jer
25:32 Thus says Yahweh of Armies, Behold, evil shall go forth from
nation to nation, and a great storm shall be raised up from the
uttermost parts of the earth.
Jer
25:33 The slain of Yahweh shall be at that day from one end of the
earth even to the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented,
neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung on the surface of
the ground.
Jer
25:34 Wail, you shepherds, and cry; and wallow in
ashes, you principal of the flock; for
the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are fully come,
and you shall fall like a goodly vessel.
Jer
25:35 The shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of
the flock to escape.
Jer
25:36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the
principal of the flock! for Yahweh lays waste their pasture.
Jer
25:37 The peaceable folds are brought to silence because of the
fierce anger of Yahweh.
Jer
25:38 He has left his covert, as the lion; for their land is become
an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppressing sword,
and because of his fierce anger.

The

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.

Thus
said Yahweh: Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak
there this word,

Thus
saith Jehovah: Execute judgment and righteousness, and deliver the
spoiled out of
the
hand of the oppressor; and do no wrong, do no violence to the
stranger, the fatherless,
or the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place.
Thus

not
oppress
nor wrong, And innocent blood ye do not shed in this place.

if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself, says Yahweh,

shall
become a waste.

if ye do not hear these words, By myself I have sworn -- an
affirmation of
Jehovah,
That this house is for a desolation.

Gilead to me, [and] the head
of Lebanon; [yet] surely I will make you a wilderness, [and] cities
which are not inhabited.

art a Gilead unto
me,
the summit of Lebanon: verily I will make thee a wilderness, cities

Jehovah
their
God, And bow themselves to other gods, and serve them.`
Jeremiah 22 10
Don`t
you weep for the dead, neither bemoan him; but weep sore for him who
goes away; for he shall
return no more, nor see his native country.
Weep
not for the dead, neither bemoan him; [but] weep sore for him that
goeth away, for

more.

in the place whither they have removed him he dieth, And this land
he doth not
see again.
Jeremiah 22 13
Woe
to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by
injustice; who uses his
neighbor`s service without wages, and doesn`t give him his hire;
Woe
unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his upper
chambers by
injustice;
that taketh his neighbour`s service without wages, and giveth him
not his
earning;
Wo
to him who is building his house by unrighteousness, And his upper
chambers
by injustice, On his neighbour he layeth service for nought, And his
wage he doth
not give to him.

who
says, I will build me a wide house and spacious chambers, and cuts
him out windows; and it is
ceiling with cedar, and painted with vermilion.

chambers,` And he
hath
cut out for himself its windows, Ceiled with cedar, and painted with
vermillion.

Shall
you reign, because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn`t your father
eat and drink, and do justice
and righteousness? then it was well with him.

smith,

other basket had very bad
figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.

basket had very good figs, like the figs first ripe; and the other

remain in this land,
and those who dwell in the land of Egypt,
And
as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten for badness, surely, thus
saith Jehovah: So will
I
make Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the remnant of
Jerusalem, that
remain
in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt.
And
like the bad figs, that are not eaten for badness, Surely thus said

do
I make Zedekiah king of Judah, And his heads, and the remnant of
Jerusalem,
Who
are left in this land, And who are dwelling in the land of Egypt,

I will give them over to be driven hither and thither unto all the
kingdoms of the
earth
for evil, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in

shall
drive them;

whither
I drive them.

ones of the flock:
for
the days of your slaughter are accomplished, and I will disperse

like
a precious vessel.

Hebrews 4
Heb 4:1 Let us fear
therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short
of a promise of entering into his rest.
Heb 4:2 For indeed we
have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the
word they heard didn't profit them, because it wasn't mixed with
faith by those who heard.
Heb 4:3 For we who have
believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, "As I
swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;" although
the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Heb 4:4 For he has said
this somewhere about the seventh day, "God rested on the seventh
day from all his works;"
Heb 4:5 and in this
place again, "They will not enter into my rest."
Heb 4:6 Seeing
therefore it remains that some should enter therein, and they to whom
the good news was before preached failed to enter in because of
disobedience,
Heb 4:7 he again
defines a certain day, today, saying through David so long a time
afterward (just as has been said), "Today if you will hear his
voice, don't harden your hearts."
Heb 4:8 For if Joshua
had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another
day.
Heb 4:9 There remains
therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
Heb 4:10 For he who has
entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God
did from his.
Heb 4:11 Let us
therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall
after the same example of disobedience.
Heb 4:12 For the word
of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword,
and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints
and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the
heart.
Heb 4:13 There is no
creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and
laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
Heb 4:14 Having then a
great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son
of God, let us hold tightly to our confession.
Heb 4:15 For we don't
have a high priest who can't be touched with the feeling of our
infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are,
yet without sin.
Heb 4:16 Let us
therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may

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 4 1
Let
us fear therefore, lest perhaps a promise being left of entering into
his rest, anyone of you should
seem to have come short of it.
Let
us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left of entering into his
rest, any one of you
might
seem to have failed [of it].
We
may fear, then, lest a promise being left of entering into His rest,
any one of
you
may seem to have come short,
Hebrews 4 2
For
indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as also they, but
the word of hearing did not
profit them, because it was not mixed with faith by those who heard.
For
indeed we have had glad tidings presented to us, even as they also;
but the word of
the
report did not profit *them*, not being mixed with faith in those
who heard.
for
we also are having good news proclaimed, even as they, but the word
heard did
not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard,
Hebrews 4 3
For
we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said,
"As I swore in my wrath, They
will not enter into my rest;" although the works were
finished from the foundation of the
world.
For
we enter into the rest who have believed; as he said, As I have
sworn in my wrath, If
they
shall enter into my rest; although the works had been completed from
[the]
foundation
of [the] world.
for
we do enter into the rest -- we who did believe, as He said, `So I
sware in My
anger,
If they shall enter into My rest -- ;` and yet the works were done
from the
foundation
of the world,
Hebrews 4 4
For
he has said somewhere about the seventh day like this, "God
rested on the seventh day from all
his works;"
For
he has said somewhere of the seventh [day] thus, And God rested on
the seventh day
from
all his works:
for
He spake in a certain place concerning the seventh [day] thus: `And
God did
rest
in the seventh day from all His works;`
Hebrews 4 5
and
in this place again, "They will not enter into my rest."
and
in this again, If they shall enter into my rest.
and
in this [place] again, `If they shall enter into My rest -- ;`
Hebrews 4 6
Seeing
therefore it remains that some should enter therein, and they to whom
the good news were
before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,
Seeing
therefore it remains that some enter into it, and those who first
received the
glad
tidings did not enter in on account of not hearkening to the word,
since
then, it remaineth for certain to enter into it, and those who did
first hear
good
news entered not in because of unbelief --
Hebrews 4 7
he
again defines a certain day, today, saying through David so long a
time afterward (just as has been
said), "Today if you will hear his voice, Don`t harden your
hearts."
again
he determines a certain day, saying, in David, `To-day,` after so
long a time;
(according
as it has been said before), To-day, if ye will hear his voice,
harden not your
hearts.
again
He doth limit a certain day, `To-day,` (in David saying, after so
long a time,)
as
it hath been said, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye may not
harden your
hearts,`
Hebrews 4 8
For
if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of
another day.
For
if Jesus had brought them into rest, he would not have spoken
afterwards about
another
day.
for
if Joshua had given them rest, He would not concerning another day
have
spoken
after these things;

There
remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
There
remains then a sabbatism to the people of God.
there
doth remain, then, a sabbatic rest to the people of God,
Hebrews 4 10
For
he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his
works, as God did from his.
For
he that has entered into his rest, he also has rested from his
works, as God did from
his
own.
for
he who did enter into his rest, he also rested from his works, as
God from His
own.
Hebrews 4 11
Let
us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall
after the same example of disobedience.
Let
us therefore use diligence to enter into that rest, that no one may
fall after the same
example
of not hearkening to the word.
May
we be diligent, then, to enter into that rest, that no one in the
same example
of
the unbelief may fall,
Hebrews 4 12
For
the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged
sword, and piercing even
to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and
quick to discern the thoughts
and intents of the heart.
For
the word of God [is] living and operative, and sharper than any
two-edged sword, and
penetrating
to [the] division of soul and spirit, both of joints and marrow, and
a
discerner
of the thoughts and intents of [the] heart.
for
the reckoning of God is living, and working, and sharp above every
two-edged
sword,
and piercing unto the dividing asunder both of soul and spirit, of
joints
also
and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart;
Hebrews 4 13
There
is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are
naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
And
there is not a creature unapparent before him; but all things [are]
naked and laid
bare
to his eyes, with whom we have to do.
and
there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things
[are]
naked
and open to His eyes -- with whom is our reckoning.

then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus,
the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our confession.

therefore a great high priest who has passed through the heavens,
Jesus the Son
of
God, let us hold fast the confession.
Having,
then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens -- Jesus the
Son of
God
-- may we hold fast the profession,
Hebrews 4 15
For
we don`t have a high priest who can`t be touched with the feeling of
our infirmities, but
one
who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
For
we have not a high priest not able to sympathise with our
infirmities, but tempted
in
all things in like manner, sin apart.
for
we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with our
infirmities, but [one]
tempted in all things in like manner -- apart from sin;

Let
us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we
may receive mercy, and may
find grace for timely help.

us approach therefore with boldness to the throne of grace, that we
may receive
mercy,
and find grace for seasonable help.

we may
receive
kindness, and find grace -- for seasonable help.
