And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? And thou shalt make staves [of] shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare: Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.

For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches. And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth? Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore. And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in [his] words.

A wise [man] feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. And what one nation in the earth [is] like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem [to be] his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?

And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. For with [the jeopardy of] their lives they brought it.

And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy [it]. He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; [even] the king of Assyria.

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the LORD: 1The two pillars, and the [two] bowls of the chapiters that [were] on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which [were] upon the top of the pillars; 1And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, [even] two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that [were] upon the pillars; 1And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases; 1And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea; 1And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, [were of] bright brass. My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever [else] cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out. Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
