Psalm 144

¹Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
²My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
³Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
⁴Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
⁵Bow thy heavens, O Lord, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
⁶Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
⁷Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
⁸Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
⁹I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
¹⁰It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
¹¹Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
¹²That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
¹³That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
¹⁴That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
¹⁵Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.

42Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
²I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
³Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
⁴Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
⁵I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
⁶Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
⁷And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
⁸Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
⁹So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the Lord commanded them: the Lord also accepted Job.

19And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
²And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
³The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
⁴And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
⁵And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
⁶Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
⁷They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
⁸He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
⁹And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
¹⁰His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
¹¹But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
¹²For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
¹³Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
¹⁴But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
¹⁵And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
