Psalm 39

¹I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.
²I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
³My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,
⁴Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.
⁵Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
⁶Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
⁷And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
⁸Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
⁹I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
¹⁰Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
¹¹When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.
¹²Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
¹³O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.

27And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.
²And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
³Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
⁴And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
⁵And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
⁶And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
⁷Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the Lord before my death.
⁸Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
⁹Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
¹⁰And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
¹¹And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
¹²My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
¹³And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
¹⁴And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
¹⁵And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
¹⁶And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
¹⁷And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
¹⁸And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?
¹⁹And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first born; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
²⁰And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord thy God brought it to me.
²¹And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.
²²And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
²³And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so he blessed him.
²⁴And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
²⁵And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine and he drank.
²⁶And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
²⁷And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed:
²⁸Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
²⁹Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.

5It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.
²And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
³For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
⁴In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
⁵To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
⁶Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
⁷Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
⁸Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
⁹I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
¹⁰Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
¹¹But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
¹²For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
¹³But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
