3:1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: is it not for you to know justice?

3:2 ye who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;

3:3 who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.

3:4 Then shall they cry unto Jehovah, but he will not answer them; yea, he will hide his face from them at that time, according as they have wrought evil in their doings.

3:5 Thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that make my people to err; that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and whoso putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him:

3:6 Therefore it shall be night unto you, that ye shall have no vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them.

3:7 And the seers shall be put to shame, and the diviners confounded; yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.

3:8 But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.

3:9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, that abhor justice, and pervert all equity.

3:10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.

3:11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet they lean upon Jehovah, and say, Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us.

3:12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.

21:1 The king’s heart is in the hand of Jehovah as the watercourses: He turneth it whithersoever he will.

21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; But Jehovah weighteth the hearts.

21:3 To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to Jehovah than sacrifice.

21:4 A high look, and a proud heart, Even the lamp of the wicked, is sin.

21:5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; But every one that is hasty hasteth only to want.

21:6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue Is a vapor driven to and fro by them that seek death.

21:7 The violence of the wicked shall sweep them away, Because they refuse to do justice.

21:8 The way of him that is laden with guilt is exceeding crooked; But as for the pure, his work is right.

21:9 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.

21:10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: His neighbor findeth no favor in his eyes.

21:11 When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; And when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

21:12 The righteous man considereth the house of the wicked, How the wicked are overthrown to their ruin.

21:13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, He also shall cry, but shall not be heard.

21:14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger; And a present in the bosom, strong wrath.

21:15 It is joy to the righteous to do justice; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.

7:9 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands;

7:10 and they cry with a great voice, saying, Salvation unto our God who sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb.

7:11 And all the angels were standing round about the throne, and about the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

7:12 saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, These that are arrayed in the white robes, who are they, and whence came they?

7:14 And I say unto him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they that come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of God; and they serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall spread his tabernacle over them.

7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun strike upon them, nor any heat:

7:17 for the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them unto fountains of waters of life: and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.
