Psalm 2

 Psalm 2

King James Version

2 Why do the heathen rage, 

and the people imagine a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, 

and the rulers take counsel together, 

against the Lord, 

and against his anointed, 

saying,

3 Let us break their bands asunder, 

and cast away their cords from us.

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: 

the Lord shall have them in derision.

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, 

and vex them in his sore displeasure.

6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

7 I will declare the decree: 

the Lord hath said unto me, 

Thou art my Son; 

this day have I begotten thee.

8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen 

for thine inheritance, 

and the uttermost parts of the earth 

for thy possession.

9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; 

thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: 

be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11 Serve the Lord with fear, 

and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, 

lest he be angry, 

and ye perish from the way, 

when his wrath is kindled but a little. 

Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Revelation 21

 Revelation 21

King James Version

21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: 

for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; 

and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, 

new Jerusalem, 

coming down from God out of heaven, 

prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, 

Behold, 

the tabernacle of God is with men, 

and he will dwell with them, 

and they shall be his people, 

and God himself shall be with them, 

and be their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; 

and there shall be no more death, 

neither sorrow, nor crying, 

neither shall there be any more pain: 

for the former things are passed away.

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, 

Behold, 

I make all things new. 

And he said unto me, 

Write: 

for these words are true and faithful.

6 And he said unto me, 

It is done. 

I am Alpha and Omega, 

the beginning and the end. 

I will give unto him that is athirst 

of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; 

and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, 

and the abominable, and murderers, 

and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, 

and all liars, 

shall have their part in the lake 

which burneth with fire and brimstone: 

which is the second death.

9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels 

which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, 

and talked with me, saying, 

Come hither, 

I will shew thee the bride, 

the Lamb's wife.

10 And he carried me away in the spirit 

to a great and high mountain, 

and shewed me that great city, 

the holy Jerusalem, 

descending out of heaven from God,

11 Having the glory of God: 

and her light was like unto a stone most precious, 

even like a jasper stone, 

clear as crystal;

12 And had a wall great and high, 

and had twelve gates, 

and at the gates twelve angels, 

and names written thereon, 

which are the names of the twelve tribes 

of the children of Israel:

13 On the east three gates; 

on the north three gates; 

on the south three gates; 

and on the west three gates.

14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, 

and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 And he that talked with me 

had a golden reed to measure the city, 

and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

16 And the city lieth foursquare, 

and the length is as large as the breadth: 

and he measured the city with the reed, 

twelve thousand furlongs. 

The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

17 And he measured the wall thereof, 

an hundred and forty and four cubits, 

according to the measure of a man, 

that is, of the angel.

18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: 

and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

19 And the foundations of the wall of the city 

were garnished with all manner of precious stones. 

The first foundation was jasper; 

the second, sapphire; 

the third, a chalcedony; 

the fourth, an emerald;

20 The fifth, sardonyx; 

the sixth, sardius; 

the seventh, chrysolyte; 

the eighth, beryl; 

the ninth, a topaz; 

the tenth, a chrysoprasus; 

the eleventh, a jacinth; 

the twelfth, an amethyst.

21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: 

every several gate was of one pearl: 

and the street of the city was pure gold, 

as it were transparent glass.

22 And I saw no temple therein: 

for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb 

are the temple of it.

23 And the city had no need of the sun, 

neither of the moon, to shine in it: 

for the glory of God did lighten it, 

and the Lamb is the light thereof.

24 And the nations of them which are saved 

shall walk in the light of it: 

and the kings of the earth 

do bring their glory and honour into it.

25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: 

for there shall be no night there.

26 And they shall bring 

the glory and honour of the nations into it.

27 And there shall in no wise enter into it 

any thing that defileth, 

neither whatsoever worketh abomination, 

or maketh a lie: 

but they which are written 

in the Lamb's book of life.

Hebrews 12

 Hebrews 12

King James Version

12 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about 

with so great a cloud of witnesses, 

let us lay aside every weight, 

and the sin which doth so easily beset us, 

and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; 

who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, 

despising the shame, 

and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3 For consider him that endured 

such contradiction of sinners against himself, 

lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, 

striving against sin.

5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation 

which speaketh unto you as unto children, 

My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, 

nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, 

and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

7 If ye endure chastening, 

God dealeth with you as with sons; 

for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

8 But if ye be without chastisement, 

whereof all are partakers, 

then are ye bastards, and not sons.

9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh 

which corrected us, 

and we gave them reverence: 

shall we not much rather be in subjection 

unto the Father of spirits, and live?

10 For they verily for a few days 

chastened us after their own pleasure; 

but he for our profit, 

that we might be partakers of his holiness.

11 Now no chastening for the present 

seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: 

nevertheless afterward it yieldeth 

the peaceable fruit of righteousness 

unto them which are exercised thereby.

12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, 

and the feeble knees;

13 And make straight paths for your feet, 

lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; 

but let it rather be healed.

14 Follow peace with all men, 

and holiness, 

without which no man shall see the Lord:

15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; 

lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, 

and thereby many be defiled;

16 Lest there be any fornicator, 

or profane person, as Esau, 

who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

17 For ye know how that afterward, 

when he would have inherited the blessing, 

he was rejected: 

for he found no place of repentance, 

though he sought it carefully with tears.

18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, 

and that burned with fire, 

nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

19 And the sound of a trumpet, 

and the voice of words; 

which voice they that heard intreated 

that the word should not be spoken to them any more:

20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, 

And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, 

it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:

21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, 

I exceedingly fear and quake:)

22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, 

and unto the city of the living God, 

the heavenly Jerusalem, 

and to an innumerable company of angels,

23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, 

which are written in heaven, 

and to God the Judge of all, 

and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, 

and to the blood of sprinkling, 

that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. 

For if they escaped not who refused him 

that spake on earth, 

much more shall not we escape, 

if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

26 Whose voice then shook the earth: 

but now he hath promised, saying, 

Yet once more I shake not the earth only, 

but also heaven.

27 And this word, 

Yet once more, 

signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, 

as of things that are made, 

that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom 

which cannot be moved, 

let us have grace, 

whereby we may serve God acceptably 

with reverence and godly fear:

29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Zephaniah 3

 Zephaniah 3

King James Version

3 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, 

to the oppressing city!

2 She obeyed not the voice; 

she received not correction; 

she trusted not in the Lord; 

she drew not near to her God.

3 Her princes within her are roaring lions; 

her judges are evening wolves; 

they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.

4 Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: 

her priests have polluted the sanctuary, 

they have done violence to the law.

5 The just Lord is in the midst thereof; 

he will not do iniquity: 

every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, 

he faileth not; 

but the unjust knoweth no shame.

6 I have cut off the nations: 

their towers are desolate; 

I made their streets waste, 

that none passeth by: 

their cities are destroyed, 

so that there is no man, 

that there is none inhabitant.

7 I said, 

Surely thou wilt fear me, 

thou wilt receive instruction; 

so their dwelling should not be cut off, 

howsoever I punished them: 

but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.

8 Therefore wait ye upon me, 

saith the Lord, 

until the day that I rise up to the prey: 

for my determination is to gather the nations, 

that I may assemble the kingdoms, 

to pour upon them mine indignation, 

even all my fierce anger: 

for all the earth shall be devoured 

with the fire of my jealousy.

9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, 

that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, 

to serve him with one consent.

10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, 

even the daughter of my dispersed, 

shall bring mine offering.

11 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, 

wherein thou hast transgressed against me: 

for then I will take away out of the midst of thee 

them that rejoice in thy pride, 

and thou shalt no more be haughty 

because of my holy mountain.

12 I will also leave in the midst of thee 

an afflicted and poor people, 

and they shall trust in the name of the Lord.

13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, 

nor speak lies; 

neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: 

for they shall feed and lie down, 

and none shall make them afraid.

14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; 

shout, O Israel; 

be glad and rejoice with all the heart, 

O daughter of Jerusalem.

15 The Lord hath taken away thy judgments, 

he hath cast out thine enemy: 

the king of Israel, 

even the Lord, is in the midst of thee: 

thou shalt not see evil any more.

16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: 

and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.

17 The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; 

he will save, 

he will rejoice over thee with joy; 

he will rest in his love, 

he will joy over thee with singing.

18 I will gather them that are sorrowful 

for the solemn assembly, 

who are of thee, 

to whom the reproach of it was a burden.

19 Behold, 

at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: 

and I will save her that halteth, 

and gather her that was driven out; 

and I will get them praise and fame in every land 

where they have been put to shame.

20 At that time will I bring you again, 

even in the time that I gather you: 

for I will make you a name and a praise 

among all people of the earth, 

when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, 

saith the Lord.

Obadiah

 Obadiah 15-21

King James Version

15 For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: 

as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: 

thy reward shall return upon thine own head.

16 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, 

so shall all the heathen drink continually, 

yea, they shall drink, 

and they shall swallow down, 

and they shall be as though they had not been.

17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance,

and there shall be holiness; 

and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, 

and the house of Joseph a flame, 

and the house of Esau for stubble, 

and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; 

and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; 

for the Lord hath spoken it.

19 And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; 

and they of the plain the Philistines: 

and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, 

and the fields of Samaria: 

and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.

20 And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel 

shall possess that of the Canaanites, 

even unto Zarephath; 

and the captivity of Jerusalem, 

which is in Sepharad, 

shall possess the cities of the south.

21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion 

to judge the mount of Esau; 

and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.

Joel 3

 Joel 3

King James Version

3 For, behold, 

in those days, and in that time, 

when I shall bring again the captivity 

of Judah and Jerusalem,

2 I will also gather all nations, 

and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, 

and will plead with them there for my people 

and for my heritage Israel, 

whom they have scattered among the nations, 

and parted my land.

3 And they have cast lots for my people; 

and have given a boy for an harlot, 

and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.

4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, 

O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? 

will ye render me a recompence? 

and if ye recompense me, 

swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence 

upon your own head;

5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, 

and have carried into your temples 

my goodly pleasant things:

6 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem 

have ye sold unto the Grecians,

that ye might remove them far from their border.

7 Behold, 

I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, 

and will return your recompence upon your own head:

8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters 

into the hand of the children of Judah, 

and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, 

to a people far off: 

for the Lord hath spoken it.

9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; 

Prepare war, 

wake up the mighty men, 

let all the men of war draw near; 

let them come up:

10 Beat your plowshares into swords 

and your pruninghooks into spears: 

let the weak say, I am strong.

11 Assemble yourselves, and come, 

all ye heathen, 

and gather yourselves together round about: 

thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord.

12 Let the heathen be wakened, 

and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: 

for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.

13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: 

come, get you down; for the press is full, 

the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.

14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: 

for the day of the Lord is near 

in the valley of decision.

15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, 

and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

16 The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, 

and utter his voice from Jerusalem; 

and the heavens and the earth shall shake: 

but the Lord will be the hope of his people, 

and the strength of the children of Israel.

17 So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God 

dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: 

then shall Jerusalem be holy, 

and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

18 And it shall come to pass in that day, 

that the mountains shall drop down new wine, 

and the hills shall flow with milk, 

and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, 

and a fountain shall come forth 

out of the house of the Lord, 

and shall water the valley of Shittim.

19 Egypt shall be a desolation, 

and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, 

for the violence against the children of Judah, 

because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

20 But Judah shall dwell for ever, 

and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: 

for the Lord dwelleth in Zion.

Joel 2

 Joel 2

King James Version

2 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, 

and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: 

let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: 

for the day of the Lord cometh, 

for it is nigh at hand;

2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, 

a day of clouds and of thick darkness, 

as the morning spread upon the mountains: 

a great people and a strong; 

there hath not been ever the like, 

neither shall be any more after it, 

even to the years of many generations.

3 A fire devoureth before them; 

and behind them a flame burneth: 

the land is as the garden of Eden before them, 

and behind them a desolate wilderness; 

yea, and nothing shall escape them.

4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; 

and as horsemen, so shall they run.

5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains 

shall they leap, 

like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, 

as a strong people set in battle array.

6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: 

all faces shall gather blackness.

7 They shall run like mighty men; 

they shall climb the wall like men of war; 

and they shall march every one on his ways, 

and they shall not break their ranks:

8 Neither shall one thrust another; 

they shall walk every one in his path: 

and when they fall upon the sword, 

they shall not be wounded.

9 They shall run to and fro in the city; 

they shall run upon the wall, 

they shall climb up upon the houses; 

they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.

10 The earth shall quake before them; 

the heavens shall tremble: 

the sun and the moon shall be dark, 

and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

11 And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: 

for his camp is very great: 

for he is strong that executeth his word: 

for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; 

and who can abide it?

12 Therefore also now, 

saith the Lord, 

turn ye even to me with all your heart, 

and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, 

and turn unto the Lord your God: 

for he is gracious and merciful, 

slow to anger, 

and of great kindness, 

and repenteth him of the evil.

14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, 

and leave a blessing behind him; 

even a meat offering and a drink offering 

unto the Lord your God?

15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, 

sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:

16 Gather the people, 

sanctify the congregation, 

assemble the elders, 

gather the children, 

and those that suck the breasts: 

let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, 

and the bride out of her closet.

17 Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, 

weep between the porch and the altar, 

and let them say, 

Spare thy people, O Lord, 

and give not thine heritage to reproach, 

that the heathen should rule over them: 

wherefore should they say among the people, 

Where is their God?

18 Then will the Lord be jealous for his land, 

and pity his people.

19 Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people, 

Behold, 

I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, 

and ye shall be satisfied therewith: 

and I will no more make you a reproach 

among the heathen:

20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army, 

and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, 

with his face toward the east sea, 

and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, 

and his stink shall come up, 

and his ill savour shall come up, 

because he hath done great things.

21 Fear not, O land; 

be glad and rejoice: 

for the Lord will do great things.

22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: 

for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, 

for the tree beareth her fruit, 

the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.

23 Be glad then, 

ye children of Zion, 

and rejoice in the Lord your God: 

for he hath given you the former rain moderately, 

and he will cause to come down for you the rain, 

the former rain,

and the latter rain in the first month.

24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, 

and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.

25 And I will restore to you 

the years that the locust hath eaten, 

the cankerworm, 

and the caterpiller, 

and the palmerworm, 

my great army which I sent among you.

26 And ye shall eat in plenty, 

and be satisfied, 

and praise the name of the Lord your God, 

that hath dealt wondrously with you: 

and my people shall never be ashamed.

27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, 

and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: 

and my people shall never be ashamed.

28 And it shall come to pass afterward, 

that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; 

and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, 

your old men shall dream dreams, 

your young men shall see visions:

29 And also upon the servants 

and upon the handmaids in those days 

will I pour out my spirit.

30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, 

blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, 

and the moon into blood, 

before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

32 And it shall come to pass, 

that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord 

shall be delivered: 

for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, 

as the Lord hath said, 

and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

Daniel 11

 Daniel 11:14-45

King James Version

14 And in those times there shall many stand up 

against the king of the south: 

also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves 

to establish the vision; but they shall fall.

15 So the king of the north shall come, 

and cast up a mount, 

and take the most fenced cities: 

and the arms of the south shall not withstand, 

neither his chosen people, 

neither shall there be any strength to withstand.

16 But he that cometh against him 

shall do according to his own will, 

and none shall stand before him: 

and he shall stand in the glorious land, 

which by his hand shall be consumed.

17 He shall also set his face to enter 

with the strength of his whole kingdom, 

and upright ones with him; 

thus shall he do: 

and he shall give him the daughter of women, 

corrupting her: 

but she shall not stand on his side, 

neither be for him.

18 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, 

and shall take many: 

but a prince for his own behalf 

shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; 

without his own reproach 

he shall cause it to turn upon him.

19 Then he shall turn his face 

toward the fort of his own land: 

but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.

20 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes 

in the glory of the kingdom: 

but within few days he shall be destroyed, 

neither in anger, nor in battle.

21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, 

to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: 

but he shall come in peaceably, 

and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

22 And with the arms of a flood 

shall they be overflown from before him, 

and shall be broken; 

yea, also the prince of the covenant.

23 And after the league made with him 

he shall work deceitfully: 

for he shall come up, 

and shall become strong with a small people.

24 He shall enter peaceably 

even upon the fattest places of the province; 

and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, 

nor his fathers' fathers; 

he shall scatter among them 

the prey, and spoil, and riches: 

yea, and he shall forecast his devices 

against the strong holds, even for a time.

25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage 

against the king of the south with a great army; 

and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle 

with a very great and mighty army; 

but he shall not stand: 

for they shall forecast devices against him.

26 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat 

shall destroy him, 

and his army shall overflow: 

and many shall fall down slain.

27 And both of these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, 

and they shall speak lies at one table; 

but it shall not prosper: 

for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.

28 Then shall he return into his land with great riches; 

and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; 

and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.

29 At the time appointed he shall return, 

and come toward the south; 

but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.

30 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: 

therefore he shall be grieved, and return, 

and have indignation against the holy covenant: 

so shall he do; 

he shall even return, 

and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.

31 And arms shall stand on his part,

and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, 

and shall take away the daily sacrifice, 

and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant 

shall he corrupt by flatteries: 

but the people that do know their God 

shall be strong, and do exploits.

33 And they that understand among the people 

shall instruct many: 

yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, 

by captivity, and by spoil, many days.

34 Now when they shall fall, 

they shall be holpen with a little help: 

but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.

35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, 

to try them, and to purge, 

and to make them white, 

even to the time of the end: 

because it is yet for a time appointed.

36 And the king shall do according to his will; 

and he shall exalt himself, 

and magnify himself above every god, 

and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, 

and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: 

for that that is determined shall be done.

37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, 

nor the desire of women, 

nor regard any god: 

for he shall magnify himself above all.

38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: 

and a god whom his fathers knew not 

shall he honour with gold, and silver, 

and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds 

with a strange god, 

whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: 

and he shall cause them to rule over many, 

and shall divide the land for gain.

40 And at the time of the end 

shall the king of the south push at him: 

and the king of the north 

shall come against him like a whirlwind, 

with chariots, and with horsemen, 

and with many ships; 

and he shall enter into the countries, 

and shall overflow and pass over.

41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, 

and many countries shall be overthrown: 

but these shall escape out of his hand, 

even Edom, 

and Moab, 

and the chief of the children of Ammon.

42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: 

and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

43 But he shall have power 

over the treasures of gold and of silver, 

and over all the precious things of Egypt: 

and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north 

shall trouble him: 

therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, 

and utterly to make away many.

45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace 

between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; 

yet he shall come to his end, 

and none shall help him.
