THE SECOND TO THE CORINTHIANS Chpt 11
If the truth of Christ be in me, this rejoicing shall not be taken from me in the regions of Achaia. Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth. Nevertheless what I do, that will I do, to cut away occasion from them which desire occasion, that they might be found like unto us in that wherein they rejoice. For these false apostles are deceitful workers, and fashion them selves like unto the Apostles of Christ. And no marvel, for Satan himself is changed into the fashion of an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing, though his ministers fashion them selves as though they were the ministers of righteousness: whose end shall be according to their deeds.
Many one, yee innumerable doth he punish, and seteth others in their stead. For he knoweth their evil and dark works, therefore shall they be destroyed. They that were in the stead of Sears, dealt like ungodly men. Therefore turned they traitorously and unfaithfully from him, and would not receive his ways. In so much that they have caused the voice of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the complaint of such as are in necessity. If he deliver and grant pardon, who will judge or condemn? But if he hide away his countenance, who will turn it about again, whether it be to the people or to any man? From the wickedness and sin of the people, he maketh an hypocrite to reign over them. For so much as I have begun to talk of God, I will not hinder thee, If I have gone amiss, enform me: if I have done wrong, I will leave off. Wilt thou not give a reasonable answer? Art thou afraid of anything, seeing thou beganest first to speak, and not I? For else the men of understanding and wisdom, that have heard me might say: What canst thou speak? As for Job he hath not spoken to the purpose nor wisely. O' father let Job be well tried, because he hath turned himself to the wicked: yee above his sins he hath blasphemed, which offense he hath done even before us, in that he striveth against God with his words.
All this is come upon us, and yet have we not forgotten thee, nor behaved our selves unfaithfully in thy covenant. Our heart is not turned back, neither our steps gone out of thy way. For thou hast smitten us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
My song shall be of mercy and judgment, yee unto thee ( O' Lord ) will I sing.
Oh let me have understanding in the ways of Godliness, until the time that thou come unto me: and so shall I walk in my house with an innocent heart.
I will take no wicked thing in hand, I hate the sin of unfaithfulness, it shall not cleave unto me. A froward heart shall depart from me, I will not know a wicked person.
The innocent dealings of the just shall lead them, but the unfaithfulness of the despisers shall be their own destruction.
An unfaithful person shall be filled with his own ways, but a good man will beware of such.
How happeneth it then that the righteous city ( which was full of equity ) is become unfaithful as an whore? righteousness dwelt in it, but now murder. Thy silver is turned to dross, and thy wine mixed with water. Thy princes are traitors and companions of thieves. They love gifts altogether, and follow rewards. As for the fatherless, they help him not to his right, neither will they let the widows causes come before them. Therefore speaketh the Lord God of Hosts the mighty one of Israel: Ah, I must ease me of mine enemies, and avenge me upon them. And therefore shall I lay my had upon thee, and burn out thy dross from the finest and purest, and put out all the lead, and set thy judges again as they were sometime, and thy Senators as they were from the beginning. The shalt thou be called the righteousness city, the faithful city. But Sion shall be redeemed with equity, and her captivity with righteousness. For the transgressors and ungodly, and such as are become unfaithful unto the Lord, must altogether be utterly destroyed.
Your beasts have born burdens upon their backs toward the South, through the way that is full of peril and trouble, because of the lion and lions, of the Cockatrice and shutting dragon. Yee the Mules bear your substance, and the Camels brought your treasure upon their crooked backs, unto a people that can not help you. For the Egyptians help shall be but vain and lost. Therefore I told you also that your pride should have an end. Wherefore go hence and write them this in their tables, a note in a book: that it may remain by their posterity, and be still kept. For it is an obstinate people, unfaithful children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord.
They shall seek me, that hitherto have not asked for me, they shall find me, that hitherto have not sought me. Then shall I say immediately to the people that never called upon my name: I am here, I am here. For thus long have I ever holden out my hands to an unfaithful people, that go not in the right way, but after their own imaginations: To a people that is ever defying me to my face. They make their oblations in gardens, and their smoke upon altars of brick, they lurk among the graves, and lie in the dens all night. They eat swine flesh, and unclean broth in their vessels. If thou comest nye them, they say: touch me not, for I am holier than thou.
What unfaithfulness found your fathers in me, that they went so far away from me, falling to lightness, and being so vain? They thought not in their hearts: Where have we left the Lord, that brought us out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a desert and rough land, through a dry and deadly land, yee a land that no man had gone through, and wherein no man had dwelt. And when I had brought you into a pleasant well builded land, that ye might enjoy the fruits and all the commodities of the same: ye went forth and defiled my land, and brought mine heritage to abomination.
The Lord said also unto me: in the time of Josiah the king: Hast thou seen what that shrinking Israel hath done? how she hath run upon all the high hills, and among all thick trees, and there played the harlot: hast thou seen also ( when she had done all this ) how I said unto her: that she should turn again unto me, and yet she is not returned? Judah that unfaithful sister of hers also saw this: Namely, that after I had seen the *advoutry of the stinking harlot Israel, I put her away, and give her a bill of divorcement.
For all this, her unfaithful sister Judah was not ashamed, but went back and played the harlot also. Yee and the noise of her whoredom hath defiled the whole land. For she hath committed her **advoutry with stones and with stocks.
Nevertheless, her unfaithful sister Judah is not turned unto me again with her whole heart, but *feignedly, saith the Lord. And the Lord said unto me. The backslider Israel is more righteous, then the unfaithful Judah: and therefore go preach these words toward the north, and say: Thou shrinking Israel, turneth again ( saith the Lord ) and I will not turn my face from you, for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not always bare displeasure against thee: but on this condition, that thou know thy great blaspheme: Namely, that thou hast unfaithfully forsaken the Lord thy God, and hast made thyself partaker of strange Gods under all green trees, but hast no will to hear my voice, saith the Lord.
O ye shrinking children, turn again, sayeth the Lord: and I will be married with you. For I will take one out of the city, and two out of one generation from among you, and bring you out of Sion: and I will give you herdsmen after my own mind, which shall feed you with learning and wisdom. Moreover, when ye be increased and multiplied in the land, then ( saith the Lord ) there shall no more boast be made of the ark of the Lords Testament: No man shall think upon it, neither shall any man make mention of it: for from thenceforth it shall neither be visited, ner honored with gifts.
Then shall Jerusalem be called the Lords seat and all Heathen shall be gathered unto it, for the name of the Lords sake, which shall be set up in Jerusalem. And from that time forth, they shall follow no more the imagination of their own froward heart.
Then those that be of the house of Judah shall go into the house of Israel: and they shall come together out of the North, into the same land that I have gave their fathers. I have showed also, how I took thee up being but a child, and give thee a pleasant land for thy heritage, yee and a goodly Hosts of the Heathen: and how I commanded thee, that thou shouldest call me father only, and not to shrink from me.
But like as a woman faileth her lover, so are ye unfaithful to me ( O ye house of Israel ) saith the Lord. And therefore the voice of the children of Israel was heard on every side, weeping and wailing: for they have defiled their way, and forgotten God their Lord.
O ye shrinking children, turn again ( saying: lo, we are thine, for thou art the Lord our God:) And so I will heal your backturnings. The hills fall, and all the high pride of the mountains, but the health of Israel standeth only upon God our Lord.
Confusion hath devoured our fathers labor from our youth up: yee their sheep and bullocks, their sons and daughters. So do we also sleep in our confusion, and shame covereth us: for we and our fathers from our youth up unto this day have sinned against the Lord our God, and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.*advouterer: prefix "a" meaning not or without, devout: devotion; plain hearted to God only see James 2 for adultery **here we see the truth of this word, as these are devoted to any "thing" but our living God through Jesus Christ. see James 2 for adultery
*feignedly (pretended affection)Should I not be avenged of every people, that is like unto this? Climb up upon their walls and beat them down, but destroy them not utterly. Cut off their branches because they are not the Lords. For unfaithfully hath the house of Israel and Judah forsaken me, saith the Lord. They have denied the Lord, and said: It is not he. Tush, there shall no misfortune come upon us, we shall see neither sword nor hunger. As for the warning of the Prophets, they take it but for wind, yee there is none of these, which will tell them, that such things shall happen unto them.
Moreover thus saith the Lord: Behold, there shall come a people from the North, and a great people shall rise from the ends of the earth, with bows and with darts shall they be weaponed: It is a rough an fierce people, an unmerciful people: their voice roareth like the sea, they ride upon horses well appointed to the battle against thee, O daughter Sion. Then shall this cry be heard: Our arms are feeble, heaviness an sorrow is come upon us, as upon a woman travailing with child. No man goeth forth in to the field, no man come upon the high street: for the sword and fear of the enemy shall be on every side.
Wherefore gird thee a sackcloth about thee ( O daughter of my people ) sprinkle thyself with ashes, mourn and weep bitterly, as upon the only beloved son: for the destroyer shall suddenly fall upon us. Thee have I set as a prover of my hard people, to seek out and try their ways. For they are all unfaithful and fallen away, they hang upon filthy lucre, they are clean brass and iron, for they have hurt and destroyed every man. The bellows are burnt in the fire, the lead is consumed, the melter melteth in vain, for the evil is not taken away from them. Therefore shall they be called naughty silver, because the Lord hath cast them out.As for that whorish and unfaithful heart of theirs, wherewith they run away from me, I will break it: yee and put out those eyes of theirs, that committed fornication with their Idols.
Then shall they be ashamed, and displeased with themselves, for the wickedness and abominations, which they have done: and shall learn to know, how that it is not in vain, that I the Lord speak, to bring such misery upon them.
These went in, and stood beside the brazen alter: for the glory of the Lord was gone away from the Cherub, and was come down to the threshold of the house, and he called the man that had the linen rayment upon him, and the writers inkhorn by his side, and the Lord said unto him: Go thy way through the city of Jerusalem, and set this mark *Thau upon the foreheads of them, that mourn and are sorry for all the abominations, that be done therein. And to the other, he said that I might hear: Go ye after him through the city, slay, oversee none, spare none: kill and destroy both old man and young, maidens children and wives. But as for those, that have this mark Thau upon them: see that ye touch them not, and begin at my Sanctuary. Then they began at the elders, which were in the temple, for he had said unto them: When ye have defiled the temple, and filled the court with the slain, then go your way forth. So they went out, and slew down through the city. Now when they had done the slaughter, and I yet escaped: I fell down upon my face, and cried saying: O' Lord, wilt thou then destroy all the residue of Israel, in thy sore displeasure, that thou hast poured out upon Jerusalem? Then said he unto me: The wickedness of the house of Israel and Juda is very great: so that the land is full of blood, and the city full of unfaithfulness: For they say: Tush the Lord regardeth not the earth, he seeth us not. Therefore will I upon them, mine eye shall not oversee them, neither will I spare them, but will recompense their wickedness upon their heads. And behold, the man that had the linen rayment upon him, and the writers inkhorn by his side: told all the matter how it happened, and said: Lord, as thou hast commanded me, so have I done.
Thou son of man, tell the children of thy people: The righteousness of the righteous shall not save him, whensoever he turneth away unfaithfully: Again, the wickedness of the wicked shall not hurt him, when so ever he converteth from his ungodliness.
For which cause I hid my face from them, and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, that they might all be slain with the sword. According to their uncleanness and unfaithful dealings, so have I entreated them, and hid my face from them. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Now will I bring again the captives of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy names sake. All their confusion and offense that they have done against me, shall be taken away: and so safely shall they dwell in their land, that no man shall make them afraid. And when I have brought them again from among the people, when I have gathered them together out of their enemies lands, and am praised in them before many Heathen: then shall they know, that I am the Lord their God, which suffered them to be led into captivity among the Heathen, but have brought them again into their own land, and not left one of them in yonder.
After that, will I hide my face no more from them, but will pour out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.O' Lord thou shalt give them: what shalt thou give them? give them an unfruitful womb and dry breasts. All their wickedness is done in Gilgall, there do I abhor them. For the ungraciousness of their own inventions, I will drive them out of mine house. I will love them no more, for all their princes are unfaithful. Ephraim is hewn down, their root is dried up, for they shall bring no more fruit: yee and though they bring forth any, yet will I slay even the best beloved fruit of their body. My God shall cast them away, for they have not been obedient unto him, therefore shall they go astray among the Heathen.
Woe unto the abominable, filthy and cruel city: which will not hear, nor be reformed. Her, her trust is not in the Lord, neither will she hold her to her God. Her, her rulers within her are as roaring lions: her judges are as wolves * in the evening, which leave nothing behind them till the morrow. Her, her prophets are light persons and unfaithful men: her priests unhallow the Sanctuary, and do wrong under the pretence of the law. But the just Lord that doth no unright, was among them, every morning showing them his law clearly, and ceased not. But the ungodly will not learn to be ashamed. Therefore I will root out this people, and destroy their towers: yee and make their streets so void, that no man shall go therein. Their cities shall be broken down, so that no body shall be left, nor dwell there any more.
THE THIRD BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 2
Sir, thy servants, Rathimus the story writer, Sabellius the Scribe, and other judges of the court in Celosyria and Phenices. Be it known and manifest to our Lord the king, that the Jews which are come up from you unto us into the rebellious and wicked city, begin to build it again, and the walls about it, and to set up the temple of the new. Now if this city and the walls thereof be set up again, they shall not only refuse to give tributes and taxes, but also rebel utterly against the King. And forasmuch as they take this in hand now about the temple, we thought it reason, to think no scorn of it, but to show it unto our Lord the King, and to certify him thereof: to the intent that if it please the King, he may cause it to be sought in the books of old: and thou shalt find such warning written, and shall understand, that this city hath all ways been rebellious and disobedient, that it hath subdued Kings and cities, and that the Jews that dwell therein, have ever been a rebellious, obstinate, unfaithful, and fighting people, for the which cause this city is wasted. Wherefore now we certify our Lord the King, that if this city be builded and occupied again, and the walls thereof set up anew, thou canst have no passage into Celosyria and Phenices.
THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 7
Then said I: O' Lord, Lord, thou hast ordered in thy law, that the righteous should inherit these things, but that the unfaithful and ungodly shall perish. Nevertheless the righteous shall suffer straight things, and hope for wide: for they that have lived ungodly and *suffered straight things, shall not see the wide.
THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 15
Behold speak thou in the ears of my people the words of the prophecy, which I will put in thy mouth, sayeth the Lord: and cause this to be written in a letter, for it is the truth. Fear not the imaginations against thee, let not the unfaithfulness of them trouble thee, that speak against thee. For all the unfaithful shall die in their unfaithfulness. Behold sayeth the Lord, I will bring plagues upon the world, the sword hunger, death and destruction: for wickedness hath the upper hand in all the earth, and their shameful works are fulfilled.
Now when King of Egypt let them go their way, and the plague ceased, and then followed after them, and to bring them again into his service, while they were fleeing away, the God of heaven opened the sea, so that the waters stood fast upon both sides as a wall, and these went through the bottom of the sea dry shod. In the which place when an innumerable people of the Egyptians followed upon them, they were so overwhelmed with the waters, that there remained not one, to tell them that came after, how it happened. So when this people was passed through the reed sea, they came into the wilderness of the mount Sinai, where never a man might dwell afore, and where the *son of man had never rested. There were the bitter waters made sweet for them, that they might drink, and forty years had they meat from heaven. Wheresoever they went ( without bow and arrow, without buckler or sword ) their God fought for them, and caused them to have the victory. Yee no man was able to hurt this people, except it were so, that they departed unfaithfully from the worshiping of the Lord their God. But as often as they worshiped any other beside their God, he gave them over to be spoiled, to be slain, and to be put to confusion. Nevertheless as often as they were sorry for departing from the worship of their God, the same God of heaven gave them power and strength to withstand their enemies.
Achior also was called, and he came. Then said Judith unto him: The God of Israel unto whom thou gavest witness, that he would be avenged of his enemies, even he hath this night through my hand smitten off the head of all the unfaithful. And that thou mayest see that it so is, behold this is the head of Holofernes, which in his presumptuous pride despised the God of the people of Israel, and threatened thee with destruction, saying: when the people of Israel is taken, I shall also cause thee to be sticked with the sword. When Achior saw Holofernes head he fell down upon his face to the ground for very anguish and fear, so that he swooned withal. But after that he was come again to himself, he fell down before her, and praised her, saying: Blessed art thou of thy God in all the tabernacles of Jacob: for all the people that hear of thy name, shall praise the God of Israel because of thee.
And for a token of a remembrance of the unfaithful soul, there standeth a pillar of salt. For all such as regarded not wisdom, gat not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good, but also left behind them unto men, a memorial of their foolishness: so that in the things wherein they sinned, they could not be hid. But as for such as take heed unto wisdom, she shall deliver them from sorrow.
Moreover, this was not enough for them that they erred in the knowledge of God: but where as they lived in the great wars of ignorance, those many and great plagues called they peace. For either they slew their own children, and offered them, or did sacrifice in the night season, or else held unreasonable watches: so that they kept neither life ner marriage clean: but either one slew another to death maliciously or else grieved his neighbor with *advoutry. And thus were all things mixed together: blood manslaughter, theft, dissimulation, corruption, unfaithfulness, sedition, perjury, disquietness of good men, unthankfulness, defiling of souls, changing of birth, unsteadfastness of marriage, misorder of *advoutry and uncleanness. And why? the honoring of abominable images is the cause, the beginning and end of all evil. For they worship Idols, either they are mad when they be merry, or prophesy lies, or live ungodly, or else lightly foreswear themselves. For in so much as their trust is in the Idols ( which have neither souls ner understanding ) though they swear falsely, yet they think it shall not hurt them.
THE FIRST OF THE MACHABEES Chpt 5
It happened also that when the Heathen round about heard, how that the altar and the Sanctuary were set up in their old estate: it displeased them very sore, wherefore they thought to destroy the generation of Jacob that was among them: In so much that they began to slay and persecute certain of the people. Then Judas fought against the children of Esau in Idumea, and against those which were at Arabathane, ( for they dwelt round about the Israelites) where he slew and spoiled a great multitude of them. He thought also upon the malice and unfaithfulness of the children of Bean, how they were a snare and stop unto the people, and how they layed wait for them in the high way: wherefore he shut them up in to towers, and came unto them, condemned them, and burnt up their towers, with all that were in them.
THE FIRST OF THE MACHABEES Chpt 7
Now when Judas saw all the mischief that Alcimus and his company had done ( yee more than the Heathen themselves ) unto the Israelites: He went forth round about all the borders of Jewry, and punished those unfaithful renegades, so that they came out no more into the country. So when Alcimus saw, that Judas and his people had gotten the upper hand, and that he was not able to abide them: he went again to the king, and said all the worst of them that he could. Then the king sent Nicanor, one of his chief princes, ( which bare evil will unto Israel ) and commanded him, that he should utterly destroy the people.
THE FIRST OF THE MACHABEES Chpt 16
So when Simon and his sons were merry and had drunken well, Ptolomy stood up with his men ( whom he had hid there ) and took their weapons, entered into the banquet house, and slew Simon with his two sons, and certain of his servants. Such great unfaithfulness did Ptolomy in Israel and recompensed evil for good. Then wrote this Ptolomy the same unto king Antiochus, requiring him that he should send him an host to help him: and so should he deliver him the land, with the cities and tributes of the same. He sent other men also unto Gaza, for to take Jhon: and wrote unto the captains to come to him, and he should give them silver, gold, and rewards.
THE GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 16
He that is faithful in that which is least the same is faithful in much. And he that is unfaithful in the least: is unfaithful also in much. So then if ye have not been faithful in the wicked mammon, who will believe you in that which is true? And if ye have not been faithful in another mans business: who shall give you your own? No servant can serve two masters, for either he shall hate the one and love the other, or else he shall lean to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
All these things heard the Pharisees also which were covetous, and they mocked him. And he said unto them: Ye are they which justify yourselves before men: but God knoweth your hearts. For that which is highly esteemed among men, is abominable in the sight of God.
