Ezekiel
5-8
Eze
5:1 You, son of man, take a sharp sword; You shall take it as a
barber's razor to you, and shall cause it to pass on your head and on
your beard: then take balances to weigh, and divide the hair.
Eze
5:2 A third part you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the
city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and you shall take a
third part, and strike with the sword around it; and a third part you
shall scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
Eze
5:3 You shall take of it a few in number, and bind them in your
skirts.
Eze
5:4 Of these again you shall take, and cast them into the midst of
the fire, and burn them in the fire; from it shall a fire come forth
into all the house of Israel.
Eze
5:5 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: This is Jerusalem; I have set her in
the midst of the nations, and countries are around her.
Eze
5:6 She has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more
than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries
that are around her; for they have rejected my ordinances, and as for
my statutes, they have not walked in them.
Eze
5:7 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you are turbulent
more than the nations that are around you, and have not walked in my
statutes, neither have kept my ordinances, neither have done after
the ordinances of the nations that are around you;
Eze
5:8 therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I, even I, am
against you; and I will execute judgments in the midst of you in the
sight of the nations.
Eze
5:9 I will do in you that which I have not done, and whereunto I
will not do any more the like, because of all your abominations.
Eze
5:10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of you,
and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments on
you; and the whole remnant of you will I scatter to all the winds.
Eze
5:11 Therefore, as I live, says the Lord Yahweh, surely, because you
have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with
all your abominations, therefore will I also diminish you;
neither shall my eye spare, and I also will have no pity.
Eze
5:12 A third part of you shall die with the pestilence, and with
famine shall they be consumed in the midst of you; and a third part
shall fall by the sword around you; and a third part I will scatter
to all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.
Eze
5:13 Thus shall my anger be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath
toward them to rest, and I shall be comforted; and they shall know
that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my
wrath on them.
Eze
5:14 Moreover I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the
nations that are around you, in the sight of all that pass by.
Eze
5:15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an
astonishment, to the nations that are around you, when I shall
execute judgments on you in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful
rebukes; (I, Yahweh, have spoken it;)
Eze
5:16 when I shall send on them the evil arrows of famine, that are
for destruction, which I will send to destroy you: and I will
increase the famine on you, and will break your staff of bread;
Eze
5:17 and I will send on you famine and evil animals, and they shall
bereave you; and pestilence and blood shall pass through you; and I
will bring the sword on you: I, Yahweh, have spoken it.
Eze
6:1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Eze
6:2 Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and
prophesy to them,
Eze
6:3 and say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord
Yahweh: Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills,
to the watercourses and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring
a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.
Eze
6:4 Your altars shall become desolate, and your incense altars shall
be broken; and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
Eze
6:5 I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before
their idols; and I will scatter your bones around your altars.
Eze
6:6 In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and
the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste
and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your
incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
Eze
6:7 The slain shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know
that I am Yahweh.
Eze
6:8 Yet will I leave a remnant, in that you shall have some that
escape the sword among the nations, when you shall be scattered
through the countries.
Eze
6:9 Those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations
where they shall be carried captive, how that I have been broken with
their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes,
which play the prostitute after their idols: and they shall loathe
themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed
in all their abominations.
Eze
6:10 They shall know that I am Yahweh: I have not said in vain that
I would do this evil to them.
Eze
6:11 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Smite with your hand, and stamp with
your foot, and say, Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the
house of Israel; for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and
by the pestilence.
Eze
6:12 He who is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he who is
near shall fall by the sword; and he who remains and is besieged
shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my wrath on them.
Eze
6:13 You shall know that I am Yahweh, when their slain men shall be
among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the
tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every
thick oak, the places where they offered pleasant aroma to all their
idols.
Eze
6:14 I will stretch out my hand on them, and make the land desolate
and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their
habitations: and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
Eze
7:1 Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Eze
7:2 You, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of
Israel, An end: the end is come on the four corners of the land.
Eze
7:3 Now is the end on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will
judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your
abominations.
Eze
7:4 My eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will
bring your ways on you, and your abominations shall be in the midst
of you: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
Eze
7:5 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: An evil, an only evil; behold, it
comes.
Eze
7:6 An end is come, the end is come; it awakes against you; behold,
it comes.
Eze
7:7 Your doom is come to you, inhabitant of the land: the time is
come, the day is near, a day of
tumult, and not of
joyful shouting, on the mountains.
Eze
7:8 Now will I shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my
anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I
will bring on you all your abominations.
Eze
7:9 My eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring
on you according to your ways; and your abominations shall be in the
midst of you; and you shall know that I, Yahweh, do strike.
Eze
7:10 Behold, the day, behold, it comes: your doom is gone forth; the
rod has blossomed, pride has budded.
Eze
7:11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness; none of them
shall remain,
nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth: neither shall there be
eminency among them.
Eze
7:12 The time is come, the day draws near: don't let the buyer
rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is on all its multitude.
Eze
7:13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although
they be yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude of
it, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the
iniquity of his life.
Eze
7:14 They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none
goes to the battle; for my wrath is on all its multitude.
Eze
7:15 The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine within:
he who is in the field shall die with the sword: and he who is in the
city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
Eze
7:16 But those of those who escape shall escape, and shall be on the
mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one
in his iniquity.
Eze
7:17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as
water.
Eze
7:18 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror
shall cover them; and shame shall be on all faces, and baldness on
all their heads.
Eze
7:19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold
shall be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not
be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Yahweh: they shall
not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels; because it has
been the stumbling block of their iniquity.
Eze
7:20 As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but
they made the images of their abominations and
their detestable things therein: therefore have I made it to them as
an unclean thing.
Eze
7:21 I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and
to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it.
Eze
7:22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall profane my
secret place;
and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it.
Eze
7:23 Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the
city is full of violence.
Eze
7:24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall
possess their houses: I will also make the pride of the strong to
cease; and their holy places shall be profaned.
Eze
7:25 Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall
be none.
Eze
7:26 Mischief shall come on mischief, and rumor shall be on rumor;
and they shall seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish
from the priest, and counsel from the elders.
Eze
7:27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with
desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be
troubled: I will do to them after their way, and according to their
own judgments will I judge them; and they shall know that I am
Yahweh.
Eze
8:1 It happened in the sixth year, in the sixth month,
in the fifth day
of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat
before me, that the hand of the Lord Yahweh fell there on me.
Eze
8:2 Then I saw, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of fire;
from the appearance of his waist and downward, fire; and from his
waist and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing
metal.
Eze
8:3 He put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my
head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and the sky, and
brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the
gate of the inner court
that looks toward the north; where there was the seat of the image of
jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.
Eze
8:4 Behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to
the appearance that I saw in the plain.
Eze
8:5 Then said he to me, Son of man, lift up your eyes now the way
toward the north. So I lifted up my eyes the way toward the north,
and see, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in
the entry.
Eze
8:6 He said to me, Son of man, see you what they do? even the great
abominations that the house of Israel do commit here, that I should
go far off from my sanctuary? but you shall again see yet other great
abominations.
Eze
8:7 He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked,
behold, a hole in the wall.
Eze
8:8 Then said he to me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I
had dug in the wall, behold, a door.
Eze
8:9 He said to me, Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they
do here.
Eze
8:10 So I went in and saw; and see, every form of creeping things,
and abominable animals, and all the idols of the house of Israel,
portrayed around on the wall.
Eze
8:11 There stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house
of Israel; and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of
Shaphan, every man with his censer in his hand; and the odor of the
cloud of incense went up.
Eze
8:12 Then said he to me, Son of man, have you seen what the elders
of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his chambers of
imagery? for they say, Yahweh doesn't see us; Yahweh has forsaken the
land.
Eze
8:13 He said also to me, You shall again see yet other great
abominations which they do.
Eze
8:14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of Yahweh's house
which was toward the north; and see, there sat the women weeping for
Tammuz.
Eze
8:15 Then said he to me, Have you seen this,
son of man? you shall again see yet greater abominations than these.
Eze
8:16 He brought me into the inner court of Yahweh's house; and see,
at the door of the temple of Yahweh, between the porch and the altar,
were about twenty-five men, with their backs toward the temple of
Yahweh, and their faces toward the east; and they were worshipping
the sun toward the east.
Eze
8:17 Then he said to me, Have you seen this,
son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they
commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled
the land with violence, and have turned again to provoke me to anger:
and behold, they put the branch to their nose.
Eze
8:18 Therefore will I also deal in wrath; my eye shall not spare,
neither will I have pity; and though they cry in my ears with a loud
voice, yet will I not hear them.

The

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.
Ezekiel
Ezekiel 5 1

son of man, take a sharp sword; [as] a barber`s razor shall you take
it to you, and shall cause it

fire, and burn
them
in the fire: from it shall a fire come forth against all the house

hast burned them in the fire -- out of it cometh forth a fire unto
all the house of
Israel.

of the nations, and countries
are round about her.

saith the Lord Jehovah: This is Jerusalem: I have set her in the
midst of the nations,
and
the countries are round about her.

said the Lord Jehovah: this [is] Jerusalem, In the midst of the
nations I have
set
her, And round about her [are] the lands.
Ezekiel 5 6
She
has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more than the
nations, and against my
statutes more than the countries that are round about her; for they
have rejected my ordinances,
and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.
And
she hath rebelled against my judgments in wickedness more than the
nations, and
against
my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for
mine
ordinances
have they refused; and my statutes, they have not walked in them.
And
she changeth My judgments into wickedness more than the nations, And
My
statutes
more than the lands that [are] round about her, For against My
judgments
they have kicked, And My statutes -- they have not walked in them.
Ezekiel 5 7
Therefore
thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you are turbulent more than the
nations that are round
about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my ordinances, neither have
done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you;
Therefore
thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have been turbulent more
than the
nations
that are round about you, [and] have not walked in my statutes,
neither have kept mine ordinances, nor [even] have done according to the ordinances of
the nations that are
round about you;
Therefore,
thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of your multiplying above the nations
that [are] around you, In My statutes ye have not walked, And My judgments
ye have not done, According to the judgments of the nations That
[are] round
about you ye have not done.
Ezekiel 5 8

thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I, even I, am against you; and I
will execute
judgments
in the midst of you in the sight of the nations.
therefore
thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and
will execute
judgments

have
done
in thy midst judgments, Before the eyes of the nations.

will do in you that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not
do any more the like,
because
of all your abominations.

not its
like
again, Because of all thine abominations.

in thee judgments, And have scattered all thy remnant to every wind.
Ezekiel 5 11
Therefore,
as I live, says the Lord Yahweh, surely, because you have defiled my
sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore
will I also diminish [you]; neither
shall my eye spare, and I also will have no pity.
Wherefore,
[as] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily because thou hast
defiled my
sanctuary
with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations,
therefore will
I
also withdraw mine eye, and it shall not spare, nor will I have any
pity.
Therefore,

eye pitieth not, and I also spare not. Do not even I also diminish?
Ezekiel 5 12
A
third part of you shall die with the pestilence, and with famine

to all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.
A
third part of thee shall die by the pestilence, and shall be
consumed by the famine in
the
midst of thee; and a third part shall fall by the sword round about

scatter
a third part to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after
them.
Thy
third part -- by pestilence they die, And by famine are consumed in
thy
midst,
And the third part, by sword they fall round about thee, And the
third
part,
to every wind I scatter, And a sword I draw out after them.
Ezekiel 5 13
Thus
shall my anger be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath toward them
to rest, and I shall be
comforted; and they shall know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my
zeal, when I have accomplished
my wrath on them.
And
mine anger shall be accomplished, and I will satisfy my fury upon
them, and I will
comfort
myself; and they shall know that I Jehovah have spoken in my
jealousy, when I
have
accomplished my fury upon them.
And
completed hath been Mine anger, And I have caused My fury to rest on
them,
And
I have been comforted, And they have known that I, Jehovah, have
spoken in
My
zeal, In My completing My fury on them.
Ezekiel 5 14
Moreover
I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations that
are round about you,
in the sight of all that pass by.
And
I will make thee a waste and a reproach among the nations that are
round about
thee,
in the sight of all that pass by.
And
I give thee for a waste, And for a reproach among nations that [are]
round
about
thee, Before the eyes of every passer by.
Ezekiel 5 15
So
it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an
astonishment, to the nations that are round about you, when I shall execute judgments on you in anger and
in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes;
(I, Yahweh, have spoken it;)
And
it shall be a reproach, and a taunt, an instruction, and an
astonishment unto the
nations
that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments upon thee
in anger,
and
in fury, and in furious rebukes: I, Jehovah, have spoken.
And
it hath been a reproach and a reviling, An instruction and an
astonishment,
To
nations that [are] round about thee, In My doing in thee judgments,
In anger
and
fury, and in furious reproofs, I, Jehovah, have spoken.
Ezekiel 5 16
when
I shall send on them the evil arrows of famine, that are for
destruction, which I will send to
destroy you: and I will increase the famine on you, and will break
your staff of bread;
When
I send upon them the evil arrows of famine, that are for [their]
destruction, which I
send to destroy you, then will I increase the famine upon you, and
will break your staff of
bread.
In
My sending the evil arrows of famine among them, That have been for
destruction,
That I send to destroy you, And famine I am adding upon you, And I
have
broken to you the staff of bread.
Ezekiel 5 17
and
I will send on you famine and evil animals, and they shall bereave
you; and pestilence and blood
shall pass through you; and I will bring the sword on you: I, Yahweh,
have spoken it.
And
I will send upon you famine and evil beasts, which shall bereave
thee of children;
and
pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the
sword upon thee: I,
Jehovah, have spoken.
And
I have sent on you famine and evil beasts, And they have bereaved
thee, And
pestilence
and blood pass over on thee, And a sword I do bring in against thee,
I,
Jehovah,
have spoken!`

word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
And

And
there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
Ezekiel 6 2
Son
of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to
them,
Son
of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy
against them,
`Son
of man, set thy face unto mountains of Israel, and prophesy
concerning them:
Ezekiel 6 3
and
say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh: Thus
says the Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the
valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring
a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.
and
say, Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah: thus
saith the Lord
Jehovah
to the mountains and to the hills, to the water-courses and to the
valleys: Behold, I,
[even] I, do bring a sword upon you, and will destroy your high
places.
And
thou hast said: Mountains of Israel, Hear ye a word of the Lord
Jehovah: Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah To the mountains, and to the hills, To the streams,
and to the
valleys, Lo, I, I am bringing in against you a sword, And I have
destroyed your
high
places.
Ezekiel 6 4
Your
altars shall become desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken;
and I will cast down your
slain men before your idols.
And
your altars shall be desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken;
and I will cast
down
your slain [men] before your idols;
And
desolated have been your altars, And broken your images, And I have
caused
your
wounded to fall before your idols,
Ezekiel 6 5
I
will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their
idols; and I will scatter your bones
round about your altars.

I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their
idols; and I will
scatter
your bones round about your altars.

put the carcases of the sons of Israel before their idols, And
scattered your
bones
round about your altars.
Ezekiel 6 6
In
all your dwelling-places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high
places shall be desolate; that
your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may
be broken and cease, and
your sun-images may be hewn down, and your works may be abolished.
In
all your dwelling-places the cities shall be laid waste, and the
high places shall be
desolate;

may be
broken
and cease, and your sun-images may be cut down, and your works may
be
abolished.
In
all your dwellings the cities are laid waste, And the high places
are desolate, So
that waste and desolate are your altars, And broken and ceased have
your idols,

works.

slain shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know that I am

will I leave a remnant, in that you shall have some that escape the
sword among the nations, when
you shall be scattered through the countries.
Yet
will I leave a remnant, in that ye shall have some escaped from the
sword among the
nations,
when ye shall be scattered through the countries.

the sword
among nations, In your being scattered through lands.
Ezekiel 6 9
Those
of you that escape shall remember me among the nations where they
shall be carried captive,
how that I have been broken with their lewd heart, which has departed
from me, and with
they eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols: and they
shall loathe themselves in their
own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their
abominations.
And
they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither
they have
been
carried captives, when I shall have broken their whorish heart,
which hath
departed
from me, and their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols; and
they shall
loathe
themselves for the evils which they have committed, in all their
abominations.
And
remembered Me have your escaped among nations, Whither they have
been
taken
captive, Because I have been broken with their heart that is going
a-
whoring,
That hath turned aside from off Me, And with their eyes they are
going
a-whoring
after their idols, And they have been loathsome in their own faces,
For
the
evils that they have done -- all their abominations.

shall know that I am Yahweh: I have not said in vain that I would do

do to
them
this evil.

Jas 1:2 Count it all
joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
Jas 1:3 knowing that
the testing of your faith produces endurance.
Jas 1:4 Let endurance
have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking
in nothing.
Jas 1:5 But if any of
you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and
without reproach; and it will be given to him.
Jas 1:6 But let him ask
in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of
the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
Jas 1:7 For let that
man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
Jas 1:8 He is a
double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Jas 1:9 But let the
brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
Jas 1:10 and the rich,
in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he
will pass away.
Jas 1:11 For the sun
arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower
in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will
the rich man fade away in his pursuits.
Jas 1:12 Blessed is the
man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will
receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love
him.
Jas 1:13 Let no man say
when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be
tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
Jas 1:14 But each one
is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
Jas 1:15 Then the lust,
when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown,
brings forth death.
Jas 1:16 Don't be
deceived, my beloved brothers.
Jas 1:17 Every good
gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the
Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
Jas 1:18 Of his own
will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a
kind of first fruits of his creatures.
Jas 1:19 So, then, my
beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and
slow to anger;
Jas 1:20 for the anger
of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God.
Jas 1:21 Therefore,
putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive
with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Jas 1:22 But be doers
of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
Jas 1:23 For if anyone
is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at
his natural face in a mirror;
Jas 1:24 for he sees
himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he
was.
Jas 1:25 But he who
looks into the perfect law of freedom, and continues, not being a
hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed
in what he does.
Jas 1:26 If anyone
among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn't bridle his
tongue, but deceives his heart, this man's religion is worthless.
Jas 1:27 Pure religion
and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the
fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself
unstained by the world.

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.

James 1 1
James,
a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes
which are in the
Dispersion:
greetings.
James,
bondman of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes
which [are] in
the
dispersion, greeting.
James,
of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a servant, to the Twelve Tribes
who are
in
the dispersion: Hail!
James 1 2
Count
it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
Count
it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations,
All
joy count [it], my brethren, when ye may fall into temptations
manifold;
James 1 3
Knowing
that the testing of your faith produces patience.
knowing
that the proving of your faith works endurance.
knowing
that the proof of your faith doth work endurance,
James 1 4
Let
patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete,
lacking in nothing.
But
let endurance have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and
complete, lacking
in
nothing.
and
let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and
entire -- in
nothing
lacking;
James 1 5
But
if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all
liberally and without
reproach;
and it will be given him.
But
if any one of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all
freely and
reproaches
not, and it shall be given to him:
and
if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to
all
liberally,
and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him;
James 1 6
But
let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like
a wave of the sea, driven
by the wind and tossed.
but
let him ask in faith, nothing doubting. For he that doubts is like a
wave of the sea
driven
by the wind and tossed about;
and
let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting hath
been like
a
wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed,
James 1 7
For
let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
for
let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;
for
let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the
Lord --
James 1 8
He
is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
[he
is] a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
a
two-souled man [is] unstable in all his ways.
James 1 9
But
let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
But
let the brother of low degree glory in his elevation,
And
let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,
James 1 10
and
the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the
grass, he will pass away.
and
the rich in his humiliation, because as [the] grass`s flower he will
pass away.
and
the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of grass he shall
pass away;
James 1 11
For
the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and
the flower in it falls, and the
beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade
away in his pursuits.
For
the sun has risen with its burning heat, and has withered the grass,
and its flower
has
fallen, and the comeliness of its look has perished: thus the rich
also shall wither in
his
goings.
for
the sun did rise with the burning heat, and did wither the grass,
and the
flower
of it fell, and the grace of its appearance did perish, so also the
rich in his
way
shall fade away!
James 1 12
Blessed
is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he
will receive the crown
of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.
Blessed
[is the] man who endures temptation; for, having been proved, he
shall receive
the
crown of life, which He has promised to them that love him.
Happy
the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he
shall
receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those
loving
James 1 13
Let
no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for
God can`t be tempted with evil, and
he himself tempts no one.
Let
no man, being tempted, say, I am tempted of God. For God cannot be
tempted by evil
things,
and himself tempts no one.
Let
no one say, being tempted -- `From God I am tempted,` for God is not
tempted of
evil, and Himself doth tempt no one,
James 1 14
But
each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and
enticed.
But
every one is tempted, drawn away, and enticed by his own lust;
and
each one is tempted, by his own desires being led away and enticed,
James 1 15
Then
the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is
full grown, brings forth death.
then
lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed
brings forth
afterward
the desire having conceived, doth give birth to sin, and the sin
having
been
perfected, doth bring forth death.
James 1 16
Don`t
be deceived, my beloved brothers.
Do
not err, my beloved brethren.
Be
not led astray, my brethren beloved;
James 1 17
Every
good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the
Father of lights, with
whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
Every
good gift and every perfect gift comes down from above, from the
Father of lights,
with
whom is no variation nor shadow of turning.
every
good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from
the
Father
of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;
James 1 18
Of
his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should
be a kind of first fruits of
his creatures.
According
to his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be
a certain
first-fruits
of *his* creatures.
having
counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a
certain
first-fruit
of His creatures.
James 1 19
So,
then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to
speak, and slow to anger;
So
that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to
speak, slow to wrath;
So
then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to
speak, slow to
anger,
James 1 20
for
the anger of man doesn`t produce the righteousness of God.
for
man`s wrath does not work God`s righteousness.
for
the wrath of a man the righteousness of God doth not work;
James 1 21
Therefore,
putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive
with humility the implanted
word, which is able to save your souls.
Wherefore,
laying aside all filthiness and abounding of wickedness, accept with
meekness
the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
wherefore
having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in
meekness
be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls;
James 1 22
But
be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
But
be ye doers of [the] word and not hearers only, beguiling
yourselves.
and
become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving
yourselves,
James 1 23
For
if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man
beholding his natural face in
a mirror;
For
if any man be a hearer of [the] word and not a doer, *he* is like to
a man considering
his
natural face in a mirror:
because,
if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one hath
been like
to
a man viewing his natural face in a mirror,
James 1 24
for
he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of
man he was.
for
he has considered himself and is gone away, and straightway he has
forgotten what he was like.
for
he did view himself, and hath gone away, and immediately he did
forget of
what
kind he was;
James 1 25
But
he who looks into the perfect law, the law of freedom, and continues,
not being a hearer who forgets but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he
does.
But
*he* that fixes his view on [the] perfect law, that of liberty, and
abides in [it], being
not
a forgetful hearer but a doer of [the] work, *he* shall be blessed
in his doing.
and
he who did look into the perfect law -- that of liberty, and did
continue there,
this one -- not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work --
this one shall be
happy
in his doing.
James 1 26
If
anyone among you thinks himself to be religious, while he doesn`t
bridle his tongue, but deceives
his heart, this man`s religion is worthless.
If
any one think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but
deceiving his heart,
this man`s religion is vain.
If
any one doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his
tongue, but
deceiving
his heart, of this one vain [is] the religion;
James 1 27
Pure
religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit
the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
Pure
and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit
orphans and
widows
in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
religion
pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this, to look after
orphans
and
widows in their tribulation -- unspotted to keep himself from the
world.
