Deuteronomy Chapter 5

¹¹"You shall not take the name of ForeverOne your God in vain: for ForeverOne will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

¹²"Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as ForeverOne your God commanded you.

¹³You shall labor six days, and do all your work; ¹⁴but the seventh day is a Sabbath to ForeverOne your God, in which you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.

¹⁵You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and ForeverOne your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore ForeverOne your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

¹⁶"Honor your father and your mother, as ForeverOne your God commanded you; that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you, in the land which ForeverOne your God gives you.

¹⁷"You shall not murder.

¹⁸"Neither shall you commit adultery.

¹⁹"Neither shall you steal.

²⁰"Neither shall you give false testimony against your neighbor.

²¹"Neither shall you covet your neighbor's wife; neither shall you desire your neighbor's house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's." ²²These words ForeverOne spoke to all your assembly on the mountain out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. He wrote them on two tablets of stone, and gave them to me.

²³When you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders; ²⁴and you said, "Behold, ForeverOne our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen today that God does speak with man, and he lives.

²⁵Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of ForeverOne our God any more, then we shall die.

²⁶For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

²⁷Go near, and hear all that ForeverOne our God shall say: and tell us all that ForeverOne our God shall tell you; and we will hear it, and do it."

Ezekiel Chapter 38

¹⁷Thus says LordOfMine ForeverOne: Are you he of whom I spoke in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for [many] years that I would bring you against them?

¹⁸In that day, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, says LordOfMine ForeverOne, my wrath shall come up into my nostrils.

¹⁹For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; ²⁰so that the fish of the sea, and the birds of the sky, and the animals of the field, and all creeping things who creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the surface of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

²¹I will call for a sword against him to all my mountains, says LordOfMine ForeverOne: every man's sword shall be against his brother.

²²With pestilence and with blood will I enter into judgment with him; and I will rain on him, and on his hordes, and on the many peoples who are with him, an overflowing shower, and great hailstones, fire, and sulfur.

²³I will magnify myself, and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations; and they shall know that I am ForeverOne.

Ezekiel Chapter 39

¹You, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus says LordOfMine ForeverOne: Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal: ²and I will turn you around, and will lead you on, and will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north; and I will bring you on the mountains of Israel; ³and I will strike your bow out of your left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand.

⁴You shall fall on the mountains of Israel, you, and all your hordes, and the peoples who are with you: I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the animals of the field to be devoured.

⁵You shall fall on the open field; for I have spoken it, says LordOfMine ForeverOne.

⁶I will send a fire on Magog, and on those who dwell securely in the islands; and they shall know that I am ForeverOne.

⁷My holy name will I make known in the midst of my people Israel; neither will I allow my holy name to be profaned any more: and the nations shall know that I am ForeverOne, the Holy One in Israel.

⁸Behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says LordOfMine ForeverOne; this is the day about which I have spoken.

⁹Those who dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the war clubs, and the spears, and they shall make fires of them seven years; ¹⁰so that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall make fires of the weapons; and they shall plunder those who plundered them, and rob those who robbed them, says LordOfMine ForeverOne.

¹¹In that day I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the valley of those who pass through on the east of the sea; and it shall stop those who pass through: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude; and they shall call it The valley of Hamon Gog.

¹²Seven months shall the house of Israel be burying them, that they may cleanse the land.

¹³Yes, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown in the day that I shall be glorified, says LordOfMine ForeverOne.

¹⁴They shall set apart men of continual employment, who shall pass through the land, and, with those who pass through, those who bury those who remain on the surface of the land, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.

¹⁵Those who pass through the land shall pass through; and when any sees a man's bone, then he will set up a sign by it, until the undertakers have buried it in the valley of Hamon Gog.

¹⁶Hamonah shall also be the name of a city. Thus shall they cleanse the land.

¹⁷You, son of man, thus says LordOfMine ForeverOne: Speak to the birds of every sort, and to every animal of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood.

¹⁸You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

¹⁹You shall eat fat until you be full, and drink blood until you are drunk, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

²⁰You shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, says LordOfMine ForeverOne.

²¹I will set my glory among the nations; and all the nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid on them.

²²So the house of Israel shall know that I am ForeverOne their God, from that day and forward.

Proverbs Chapter 25

¹⁵By patience a ruler is persuaded. A soft tongue breaks the bone.

¹⁶Have you found honey? Eat as much as is sufficient for you, lest you eat too much, and vomit it.

¹⁷Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor's house, lest he be weary of you, and hate you.

¹⁸A man who gives false testimony against his neighbor is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.

¹⁹Confidence in someone unfaithful in time of trouble is like a bad tooth, or a lame foot.

²⁰As one who takes away a garment in cold weather, or vinegar on soda, so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.

²¹If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink: ²²for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and ForeverOne will reward you.

²³The north wind produces rain: so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.

²⁴It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than to share a house with a contentious woman.

²⁵Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

²⁶Like a muddied spring, and a polluted well, so is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.

²⁷It is not good to eat much honey; nor is it honorable to seek one's own honor.

²⁸Like a city that is broken down and without walls is a man whose spirit is without restraint.

Proverbs Chapter 26

¹Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.

²Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn't come to rest.

³A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools!

⁴Don't answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him.

⁵Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.

⁶One who sends a message by the hand of a fool is cutting off feet and drinking violence.

⁷Like the legs of the lame that hang loose: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

⁸As one who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a fool.

⁹Like a thornbush that goes into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

¹⁰As an archer who wounds all, so is he who hires a fool or he who hires those who pass by.

¹¹As a dog that returns to his vomit, so is a fool who repeats his folly.

¹²Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Hebrews Chapter 7

⁸Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.

⁹We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes, ¹⁰for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.

¹¹Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

¹²For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.

¹³For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.

¹⁴For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

¹⁵This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest, ¹⁶who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life: ¹⁷for it is testified, "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek." ¹⁸For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness ¹⁹(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

²⁰Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath ²¹(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him, "ForeverOne swore and will not change his mind, 'You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.'" ²²By so much, Jesus has become the collateral of a better covenant.

²³Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.

²⁴But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.

²⁵So he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.

²⁶For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; ²⁷who doesn't need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.

²⁸For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath which came after the law appoints a Son forever who has been perfected.
