For the first Adam bearing a wicked heart transgressed, and was overcome; and so be all they that are born of him.

2 Esdras 3:26
And in all things did even as Adam and all his generations had done: for they also had a wicked heart:

2 Esdras 3:29
For when I came thither, and had seen impieties without number, then my soul saw many evildoers in this thirtieth year, so that my heart failed me.

2 Esdras 3:30

2 Esdras 3:33

2 Esdras 4:16
The thought of the wood was in vain, for the fire came and consumed it.

2 Esdras 4:17
The thought of the floods of the sea came likewise to nought, for the sand stood up and stopped them.

2 Esdras 4:19
I answered and said, Verily it is a foolish thought that they both have devised, for the ground is given unto the wood, and the sea also hath his place to bear his floods.

2 Esdras 4:21
For like as the ground is given unto the wood, and the sea to his floods: even so they that dwell upon the earth may understand nothing but that which is upon the earth: and he that dwelleth above the heavens may only understand the things that are above the height of the heavens.

2 Esdras 4:23
For it was not my mind to be curious of the high things, but of such as pass by us daily, namely, wherefore Israel is given up as a reproach to the heathen, and for what cause the people whom thou hast loved is given over unto ungodly nations, and why the law of our forefathers is brought to nought, and the written covenants come to none effect,

2 Esdras 4:26
Then answered he me, and said, The more thou searchest, the more thou shalt marvel; for the world hasteth fast to pass away,

2 Esdras 4:27
And cannot comprehend the things that are promised to the righteous in time to come: for this world is full of unrighteousness and infirmities.

2 Esdras 4:28
But as concerning the things whereof thou askest me, I will tell thee; for the evil is sown, but the destruction thereof is not yet come.

2 Esdras 4:30
For the grain of evil seed hath been sown in the heart of Adam from the beginning, and how much ungodliness hath it brought up unto this time? and how much shall it yet bring forth until the time of threshing come?

2 Esdras 4:34
And he answered me, saying, Do not thou hasten above the most Highest: for thy haste is in vain to be above him, for thou hast much exceeded.

2 Esdras 4:36
And unto these things Uriel the archangel gave them answer, and said, Even when the number of seeds is filled in you: for he hath weighed the world in the balance.

2 Esdras 4:39
And for our sakes peradventure it is that the floors of the righteous are not filled, because of the sins of them that dwell upon the earth.

2 Esdras 4:42
For like as a woman that travaileth maketh haste to escape the necessity of the travail: even so do these places haste to deliver those things that are committed unto them.

2 Esdras 4:46
What is past I know, but what is for to come I know not.

2 Esdras 4:52
He answered me, and said, As for the tokens whereof thou askest me, I may tell thee of them in part: but as touching thy life, I am not sent to shew thee; for I do not know it.

2 Esdras 5:6
And even he shall rule, whom they look not for that dwell upon the earth, and the fowls shall take their flight away together:

2 Esdras 5:33
And I said, Speak on, my Lord. Then said he unto me, Thou art sore troubled in mind for Israel's sake: lovest thou that people better than he that made them?

2 Esdras 5:34
And I said, No, Lord: but of very grief have I spoken: for my reins pain me every hour, while I labour to comprehend the way of the most High, and to seek out part of his judgment.

2 Esdras 5:39
As for me, I am unwise: how may I then speak of these things whereof thou askest me?

2 Esdras 5:43
So I answered and said, Couldest thou not make those that have been made, and be now, and that are for to come, at once; that thou mightest shew thy judgment the sooner?

2 Esdras 5:49
For like as a young child may not bring forth the things that belong to the aged, even so have I disposed the world which I created.

2 Esdras 5:50
And I asked, and said, Seeing thou hast now given me the way, I will proceed to speak before thee: for our mother, of whom thou hast told me that she is young, draweth now nigh unto age.

2 Esdras 6:5
And ere the present years were sought out, and or ever the inventions of them that now sin were turned, before they were sealed that have gathered faith for a treasure:

2 Esdras 6:9
For Esau is the end of the world, and Jacob is the beginning of it that followeth.

2 Esdras 6:15
And therefore when it speaketh be not afraid: for the word is of the end, and the foundation of the earth is understood.

2 Esdras 6:16
And why? because the speech of these things trembleth and is moved: for it knoweth that the end of these things must be changed.

2 Esdras 6:27
For evil shall be put out, and deceit shall be quenched.

2 Esdras 6:28
As for faith, it shall flourish, corruption shall be overcome, and the truth, which hath been so long without fruit, shall be declared.

2 Esdras 6:32
For thy voice is heard before the most High: for the Mighty hath seen thy righteous dealing, he hath seen also thy chastity, which thou hast had ever since thy youth.

2 Esdras 6:37
For my spirit was greatly set on fire, and my soul was in distress.

2 Esdras 6:43
For as soon as thy word went forth the work was made.

2 Esdras 6:44
For immediately there was great and innumerable fruit, and many and divers pleasures for the taste, and flowers of unchangeable colour, and odours of wonderful smell: and this was done the third day.

2 Esdras 6:48
For the dumb water and without life brought forth living things at the commandment of God, that all people might praise thy wondrous works.

2 Esdras 6:50
And didst separate the one from the other: for the seventh part, namely, where the water was gathered together, might not hold them both.

2 Esdras 6:55
All this have I spoken before thee, O Lord, because thou madest the world for our sakes

2 Esdras 6:56
As for the other people, which also come of Adam, thou hast said that they are nothing, but be like unto spittle: and hast likened the abundance of them unto a drop that falleth from a vessel.

2 Esdras 6:59
If the world now be made for our sakes, why do we not possess an inheritance with the world? how long shall this endure?

2 Esdras 7:9
If this city now were given unto a man for an inheritance, if he never shall pass the danger set before it, how shall he receive this inheritance?

2 Esdras 7:11
Because for their sakes I made the world: and when Adam transgressed my statutes, then was decreed that now is done.

2 Esdras 7:13
For the entrances of the elder world were wide and sure, and brought immortal fruit.

2 Esdras 7:14
If then they that live labour not to enter these strait and vain things, they can never receive those that are laid up for them.

2 Esdras 7:18
Nevertheless the righteous shall suffer strait things, and hope for wide: for they that have done wickedly have suffered the strait things, and yet shall not see the wide.

2 Esdras 7:20
For there be many that perish in this life, because they despise the law of God that is set before them.

2 Esdras 7:21
For God hath given strait commandment to such as came, what they should do to live, even as they came, and what they should observe to avoid punishment.

2 Esdras 7:25
And therefore, Esdras, for the empty are empty things, and for the full are the full things.

2 Esdras 7:28
For my son Jesus shall be revealed with those that be with him, and they that remain shall rejoice within four hundred years.

2 Esdras 7:36
Then said I, Abraham prayed first for the Sodomites, and Moses for the fathers that sinned in the wilderness:

2 Esdras 7:37
And Jesus after him for Israel in the time of Achan:

2 Esdras 7:38
And Samuel and David for the destruction: and Solomon for them that should come to the sanctuary:

2 Esdras 7:39
And Helias for those that received rain; and for the dead, that he might live:

2 Esdras 7:40
And Ezechias for the people in the time of Sennacherib: and many for many.

2 Esdras 7:41
Even so now, seeing corruption is grown up, and wickedness increased, and the righteous have prayed for the ungodly: wherefore shall it not be so now also?

2 Esdras 7:42
He answered me, and said, This present life is not the end where much glory doth abide; therefore have they prayed for the weak.

2 Esdras 7:43
But the day of doom shall be the end of this time, and the beginning of the immortality for to come, wherein corruption is past,

2 Esdras 7:47
For what profit is it for men now in this present time to live in heaviness, and after death to look for punishment?

2 Esdras 7:48
O thou Adam, what hast thou done? for though it was thou that sinned, thou art not fallen alone, but we all that come of thee.

2 Esdras 7:49
For what profit is it unto us, if there be promised us an immortal time, whereas we have done the works that bring death?

2 Esdras 7:51
And that there are laid up for us dwellings of health and safety, whereas we have lived wickedly?

2 Esdras 7:53
And that there should be shewed a paradise, whose fruit endureth for ever, wherein is security and medicine, since we shall not enter into it?

2 Esdras 7:54
(For we have walked in unpleasant places.)

2 Esdras 7:56
For while we lived and committed iniquity, we considered not that we should begin to suffer for it after death.

2 Esdras 7:59
For this is the life whereof Moses spake unto the people while he lived, saying, Choose thee life, that thou mayest live.

2 Esdras 7:65
And that he is bountiful, for he is ready to give where it needeth;

2 Esdras 7:66
And that he is of great mercy, for he multiplieth more and more mercies to them that are present, and that are past, and also to them which are to come.

2 Esdras 7:67
For if he shall not multiply his mercies, the world would not continue with them that inherit therein.

2 Esdras 7:68
And he pardoneth; for if he did not so of his goodness, that they which have committed iniquities might be eased of them, the ten thousandth part of men should not remain living.

2 Esdras 8:1
And he answered me, saying, The most High hath made this world for many, but the world to come for few.

2 Esdras 8:5
For thou hast agreed to give ear, and art willing to prophesy: for thou hast no longer space than only to live.

2 Esdras 8:7
For thou art alone, and we all one workmanship of thine hands, like as thou hast said.

2 Esdras 8:8
For when the body is fashioned now in the mother's womb, and thou givest it members, thy creature is preserved in fire and water, and nine months doth thy workmanship endure thy creature which is created in her.

2 Esdras 8:10
For thou hast commanded out of the parts of the body, that is to say, out of the breasts, milk to be given, which is the fruit of the breasts,

2 Esdras 8:11
That the thing which is fashioned may be nourished for a time, till thou disposest it to thy mercy.

2 Esdras 8:15
Now therefore, Lord, I will speak; touching man in general, thou knowest best; but touching thy people, for whose sake I am sorry;

2 Esdras 8:16
And for thine inheritance, for whose cause I mourn; and for Israel, for whom I am heavy; and for Jacob, for whose sake I am troubled;

2 Esdras 8:17
Therefore will I begin to pray before thee for myself and for them: for I see the falls of us that dwell in the land.

2 Esdras 8:25
For while I live I will speak, and so long as I have understanding I will answer.

2 Esdras 8:31
For we and our fathers do languish of such diseases: but because of us sinners thou shalt be called merciful.

2 Esdras 8:32
For if thou hast a desire to have mercy upon us, thou shalt be called merciful, to us namely, that have no works of righteousness.

2 Esdras 8:33
For the just, which have many good works laid up with thee, shall out of their own deeds receive reward.

2 Esdras 8:34
For what is man, that thou shouldest take displeasure at him? or what is a corruptible generation, that thou shouldest be so bitter toward it?

2 Esdras 8:35
For in truth them is no man among them that be born, but he hath dealt wickedly; and among the faithful there is none which hath not done amiss.

2 Esdras 8:36
For in this, O Lord, thy righteousness and thy goodness shall be declared, if thou be merciful unto them which have not the confidence of good works.

2 Esdras 8:38
For indeed I will not think on the disposition of them which have sinned before death, before judgment, before destruction:

2 Esdras 8:41
For as the husbandman soweth much seed upon the ground, and planteth many trees, and yet the thing that is sown good in his season cometh not up, neither doth all that is planted take root: even so is it of them that are sown in the world; they shall not all be saved.

2 Esdras 8:44
Even so perisheth man also, which is formed with thy hands, and is called thine own image, because thou art like unto him, for whose sake thou hast made all things, and likened him unto the husbandman's seed.

2 Esdras 8:45
Be not wroth with us but spare thy people, and have mercy upon thine own inheritance: for thou art merciful unto thy creature.

2 Esdras 8:46
Then answered he me, and said, Things present are for the present, and things to cometh for such as be to come.

2 Esdras 8:47
For thou comest far short that thou shouldest be able to love my creature more than I: but I have ofttimes drawn nigh unto thee, and unto it, but never to the unrighteous.

2 Esdras 8:50
For many great miseries shall be done to them that in the latter time shall dwell in the world, because they have walked in great pride.

2 Esdras 8:51
But understand thou for thyself, and seek out the glory for such as be like thee.

2 Esdras 8:52
For unto you is paradise opened, the tree of life is planted, the time to come is prepared, plenteousness is made ready, a city is builded, and rest is allowed, yea, perfect goodness and wisdom.

2 Esdras 8:56
For when they had taken liberty, they despised the most High, thought scorn of his law, and forsook his ways.

2 Esdras 8:59
For as the things aforesaid shalt receive you, so thirst and pain are prepared for them: for it was not his will that men should come to nought:

2 Esdras 8:60
But they which be created have defiled the name of him that made them, and were unthankful unto him which prepared life for them.

2 Esdras 9:5
For like as all that is made in the world hath a beginning and an end, and the end is manifest:

2 Esdras 9:8
Shall be preserved from the said perils, and shall see my salvation in my land, and within my borders: for I have sanctified them for me from the beginning.

2 Esdras 9:10
For such as in their life have received benefits, and have not known me;

2 Esdras 9:13
And therefore be thou not curious how the ungodly shall be punished, and when: but enquire how the righteous shall be saved, whose the world is, and for whom the world is created.

2 Esdras 9:17
And he answered me, saying, Like as the field is, so is also the seed; as the flowers be, such are the colours also; such as the workman is, such also is the work; and as the husbandman is himself, so is his husbandry also: for it was the time of the world.

2 Esdras 9:18
And now when I prepared the world, which was not yet made, even for them to dwell in that now live, no man spake against me.

2 Esdras 9:19
For then every one obeyed: but now the manners of them which are created in this world that is made are corrupted by a perpetual seed, and by a law which is unsearchable rid themselves.

2 Esdras 9:22
Let the multitude perish then, which was born in vain; and let my grape be kept, and my plant; for with great labour have I made it perfect.

2 Esdras 9:31
For, behold, I sow my law in you, and it shall bring fruit in you, and ye shall be honoured in it for ever.

2 Esdras 9:32
But our fathers, which received the law, kept it not, and observed not thy ordinances: and though the fruit of thy law did not perish, neither could it, for it was thine;

2 Esdras 9:36
For we that have received the law perish by sin, and our heart also which received it

2 Esdras 9:41
And she said unto me, Sir, let me alone, that I may bewail myself, and add unto my sorrow, for I am sore vexed in my mind, and brought very low.

2 Esdras 10:8
And now, seeing we all mourn and are sad, for we are all in heaviness, art thou grieved for one son?

2 Esdras 10:9
For ask the earth, and she shall tell thee, that it is she which ought to mourn for the fall of so many that grow upon her.

2 Esdras 10:10
For out of her came all at the first, and out of her shall all others come, and, behold, they walk almost all into destruction, and a multitude of them is utterly rooted out.

2 Esdras 10:11
Who then should make more mourning than she, that hath lost so great a multitude; and not thou, which art sorry but for one?

2 Esdras 10:13
But the earth not so: for the multitude present in it according to the course of the earth is gone, as it came:

2 Esdras 10:16
For if thou shalt acknowledge the determination of God to be just, thou shalt both receive thy son in time, and shalt be commended among women.

2 Esdras 10:20
Do not so, but be counselled. by me: for how many are the adversities of Sion? be comforted in regard of the sorrow of Jerusalem.

2 Esdras 10:21
For thou seest that our sanctuary is laid waste, our altar broken down, our temple destroyed;

2 Esdras 10:23
And, which is the greatest of all, the seal of Sion hath now lost her honour; for she is delivered into the hands of them that hate us.

2 Esdras 10:28
Where is Uriel the angel, who came unto me at the first? for he hath caused me to fall into many trances, and mine end is turned into corruption, and my prayer to rebuke.

2 Esdras 10:35
For I have seen that I knew not, and hear that I do not know.

2 Esdras 10:38
He answered me then, and said, Hear me, and I shall inform thee, and tell thee wherefore thou art afraid: for the Highest will reveal many secret things unto thee.

2 Esdras 10:39
He hath seen that thy way is right: for that thou sorrowest continually for thy people, and makest great lamentation for Sion.

2 Esdras 10:49
And, behold, thou sawest her likeness, and because she mourned for her son, thou begannest to comfort her: and of these things which have chanced, these are to be opened unto thee.

2 Esdras 10:50
For now the most High seeth that thou art grieved unfeignedly, and sufferest from thy whole heart for her, so hath he shewed thee the brightness of her glory, and the comeliness of her beauty:

2 Esdras 10:52
For I knew that the Highest would shew this unto thee.

2 Esdras 10:54
For in the place wherein the Highest beginneth to shew his city, there can no man's building be able to stand.

2 Esdras 10:57
For thou art blessed above many other, and art called with the Highest; and so are but few.

2 Esdras 11:9
But let the heads be preserved for the last.

2 Esdras 11:21
For some of them were set up, but ruled not.

2 Esdras 11:24
Then saw I also that two little feathers divided themselves from the six, and remained under the head that was upon the right side: for the four continued in their place.

2 Esdras 11:29
And when they so thought, behold, there awaked one of the heads that were at rest, namely, it that was in the midst; for that was greater than the two other heads.

2 Esdras 11:41
For the earth hast thou not judged with truth.

2 Esdras 11:42
For thou hast afflicted the meek, thou hast hurt the peaceable, thou hast loved liars, and destroyed the dwellings of them that brought forth fruit, and hast cast down the walls of such as did thee no harm.

2 Esdras 11:46
That all the earth may be refreshed, and may return, being delivered from thy violence, and that she may hope for the judgment and mercy of him that made her.

2 Esdras 12:5
Lo, yet am I weary in my mind, and very weak in my spirit; and little strength is there in me, for the great fear wherewith I was afflicted this night.

2 Esdras 12:9
For thou hast judged me worthy to shew me the last times.

2 Esdras 12:17
As for the voice which thou heardest speak, and that thou sawest not to go out from the heads but from the midst of the body thereof, this is the interpretation:

2 Esdras 12:25
For these are they that shall accomplish his wickedness, and that shall finish his last end.

2 Esdras 12:27
For the two that remain shall be slain with the sword.

2 Esdras 12:28
For the sword of the one shall devour the other: but at the last shall he fall through the sword himself.

2 Esdras 12:31
And the lion, whom thou sawest rising up out of the wood, and roaring, and speaking to the eagle, and rebuking her for her unrighteousness with all the words which thou hast heard;

2 Esdras 12:32
This is the anointed, which the Highest hath kept for them and for their wickedness unto the end: he shall reprove them, and shall upbraid them with their cruelty.

2 Esdras 12:33
For he shall set them before him alive in judgment, and shall rebuke them, and correct them.

2 Esdras 12:34
For the rest of my people shall he deliver with mercy, those that have been pressed upon my borders, and he shall make them joyful until the coming of the day of judgment, whereof I have spoken unto thee from the the beginning.

2 Esdras 12:42
For of all the prophets thou only art left us, as a cluster of the vintage, and as a candle in a dark place, and as a haven or ship preserved from the tempest.

2 Esdras 12:44
If thou shalt forsake us, how much better had it been for us, if we also had been burned in the midst of Sion?

2 Esdras 12:45
For we are not better than they that died there. And they wept with a loud voice. Then answered I them, and said,

2 Esdras 12:47
For the Highest hath you in remembrance, and the Mighty hath not forgotten you in temptation.

2 Esdras 12:48
As for me, I have not forsaken you, neither am I departed from you: but am come into this place, to pray for the desolation of Sion, and that I might seek mercy for the low estate of your sanctuary.

2 Esdras 13:16
For as I conceive in mine understanding, woe unto them that shall be left in those days and much more woe unto them that are not left behind!

2 Esdras 13:17
For they that were not left were in heaviness.

2 Esdras 13:20
Yet is it easier for him that is in danger to come into these things, than to pass away as a cloud out of the world, and not to see the things that happen in the last days. And he answered unto me, and said,

2 Esdras 13:37
And this my Son shall rebuke the wicked inventions of those nations, which for their wicked life are fallen into the tempest;

2 Esdras 13:44
For the most High then shewed signs for them, and held still the flood, till they were passed over.

2 Esdras 13:45
For through that country there was a great way to go, namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called Arsareth.

2 Esdras 13:54
For thou hast forsaken thine own way, and applied thy diligence unto my law, and sought it.

2 Esdras 14:9
For thou shalt be taken away from all, and from henceforth thou shalt remain with my Son, and with such as be like thee, until the times be ended.

2 Esdras 14:10
For the world hath lost his youth, and the times begin to wax old.

2 Esdras 14:11
For the world is divided into twelve parts, and the ten parts of it are gone already, and half of a tenth part:

2 Esdras 14:16
For yet greater evils than those which thou hast seen happen shall be done hereafter.

2 Esdras 14:17
For look how much the world shall be weaker through age, so much the more shall evils increase upon them that dwell therein.

2 Esdras 14:18
For the time is fled far away, and leasing is hard at hand: for now hasteth the vision to come, which thou hast seen.

2 Esdras 14:21
For thy law is burnt, therefore no man knoweth the things that are done of thee, or the work that shall begin.

2 Esdras 14:23
And he answered me, saying, Go thy way, gather the people together, and say unto them, that they seek thee not for forty days.

2 Esdras 14:35
For after death shall the judgment come, when we shall live again: and then shall the names of the righteous be manifest, and the works of the ungodly shall be declared.

2 Esdras 14:40
And I took it, and drank: and when I had drunk of it, my heart uttered understanding, and wisdom grew in my breast, for my spirit strengthened my memory:

2 Esdras 14:43
As for me. I spake in the day, and I held not my tongue by night.

2 Esdras 14:47
For in them is the spring of understanding, the fountain of wisdom, and the stream of knowledge.

2 Esdras 15:2
And cause them to be written in paper: for they are faithful and true.

2 Esdras 15:4
For all the unfaithful shall die in their unfaithfulness.

2 Esdras 15:6
For wickedness hath exceedingly polluted the whole earth, and their hurtful works are fulfilled.

2 Esdras 15:13
They that till the ground shall mourn: for their seeds shall fail through the blasting and hail, and with a fearful constellation.

2 Esdras 15:15
For the sword and their destruction draweth nigh, and one people shall stand up and fight against another, and swords in their hands.

2 Esdras 15:16
For there shall be sedition among men, and invading one another; they shall not regard their kings nor princes, and the course of their actions shall stand in their power.

2 Esdras 15:18
For because of their pride the cities shall be troubled, the houses shall be destroyed, and men shall be afraid.

2 Esdras 15:19
A man shall have no pity upon his neighbour, but shall destroy their houses with the sword, and spoil their goods, because of the lack of bread, and for great tribulation.

2 Esdras 15:26
For the Lord knoweth all them that sin against him, and therefore delivereth he them unto death and destruction.

2 Esdras 15:27
For now are the plagues come upon the whole earth and ye shall remain in them: for God shall not deliver you, because ye have sinned against him.

2 Esdras 15:58
They that be in the mountains shall die of hunger, and eat their own flesh, and drink their own blood, for very hunger of bread, and thirst of water.

2 Esdras 16:2
Gird up yourselves with cloths of sack and hair, bewail your children, and be sorry; for your destruction is at hand.

2 Esdras 16:13
For strong is his right hand that bendeth the bow, his arrows that he shooteth are sharp, and shall not miss, when they begin to be shot into the ends of the world.

2 Esdras 16:19
Behold, famine and plague, tribulation and anguish, are sent as scourges for amendment.

2 Esdras 16:20
But for all these things they shall not turn from their wickedness, nor be always mindful of the scourges.

2 Esdras 16:22
For many of them that dwell upon earth shall perish of famine; and the other, that escape the hunger, shall the sword destroy.

2 Esdras 16:23
And the dead shall be cast out as dung, and there shall be no man to comfort them: for the earth shall be wasted, and the cities shall be cast down.

2 Esdras 16:26
The grapes shall ripen, and who shall tread them? for all places shall be desolate of men:

2 Esdras 16:28
For of a city there shall be ten left, and two of the field, which shall hide themselves in the thick groves, and in the clefts of the rocks.

2 Esdras 16:46
For strangers shall reap their fruits, and spoil their goods, overthrow their houses, and take their children captives, for in captivity and famine shall they get children.

2 Esdras 16:48
The more will I be angry with them for their sin, saith the Lord.

2 Esdras 16:52
For yet a little, and iniquity shall be taken away out of the earth, and righteousness shall reign among you.

2 Esdras 16:53
Let not the sinner say that he hath not sinned: for God shall burn coals of fire upon his head, which saith before the Lord God and his glory, I have not sinned.

2 Esdras 16:67
Behold, God himself is the judge, fear him: leave off from your sins, and forget your iniquities, to meddle no more with them for ever: so shall God lead you forth, and deliver you from all trouble.

2 Esdras 16:68
For, behold, the burning wrath of a great multitude is kindled over you, and they shall take away certain of you, and feed you, being idle, with things offered unto idols.

2 Esdras 16:70
For there shall be in every place, and in the next cities, a great insurrection upon those that fear the Lord.

2 Esdras 16:72
For they shall waste and take away their goods, and cast them out of their houses.

2 Esdras 16:75
Be ye not afraid neither doubt; for God is your guide,

Tobit 1:4
And when I was in mine own country, in the land of Israel being but young, all the tribe of Nephthali my father fell from the house of Jerusalem, which was chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, that all the tribes should sacrifice there, where the temple of the habitation of the most High was consecrated and built for all ages.

Tobit 1:18
And if the king Sennacherib had slain any, when he was come, and fled from Judea, I buried them privily; for in his wrath he killed many; but the bodies were not found, when they were sought for of the king.

Tobit 1:19
And when one of the Ninevites went and complained of me to the king, that I buried them, and hid myself; understanding that I was sought for to be put to death, I withdrew myself for fear.

Tobit 1:22
And Achiacharus intreating for me, I returned to Nineve. Now Achiacharus was cupbearer, and keeper of the signet, and steward, and overseer of the accounts: and Sarchedonus appointed him next unto him: and he was my brother's son.

Tobit 2:2
And when I saw abundance of meat, I said to my son, Go and bring what poor man soever thou shalt find out of our brethren, who is mindful of the Lord; and, lo, I tarry for thee.

Tobit 2:8
But my neighbours mocked me, and said, This man is not yet afraid to be put to death for this matter: who fled away; and yet, lo, he burieth the dead again.

Tobit 2:13
And when it was in my house, and began to cry, I said unto her, From whence is this kid? is it not stolen? render it to the owners; for it is not lawful to eat any thing that is stolen.

Tobit 2:14
But she replied upon me, It was given for a gift more than the wages. Howbeit I did not believe her, but bade her render it to the owners: and I was abashed at her. But she replied upon me, Where are thine alms and thy righteous deeds? behold, thou and all thy works are known.

Tobit 3:2
O Lord, thou art just, and all thy works and all thy ways are mercy and truth, and thou judgest truly and justly for ever.

Tobit 3:3
Remember me, and look on me, punish me not for my sins and ignorances, and the sins of my fathers, who have sinned before thee:

Tobit 3:4
For they obeyed not thy commandments: wherefore thou hast delivered us for a spoil, and unto captivity, and unto death, and for a proverb of reproach to all the nations among whom we are dispersed.

Tobit 3:6
Now therefore deal with me as seemeth best unto thee, and command my spirit to be taken from me, that I may be dissolved, and become earth: for it is profitable for me to die rather than to live, because I have heard false reproaches, and have much sorrow: command therefore that I may now be delivered out of this distress, and go into the everlasting place: turn not thy face away from me.

Tobit 3:9
Wherefore dost thou beat us for them? if they be dead, go thy ways after them, let us never see of thee either son or daughter.

Tobit 3:11
Then she prayed toward the window, and said, Blessed art thou, O Lord my God, and thine holy and glorious name is blessed and honourable for ever: let all thy works praise thee for ever.

Tobit 3:15
And that I never polluted my name, nor the name of my father, in the land of my captivity: I am the only daughter of my father, neither hath he any child to be his heir, neither any near kinsman, nor any son of his alive, to whom I may keep myself for a wife: my seven husbands are already dead; and why should I live? but if it please not thee that I should die, command some regard to be had of me, and pity taken of me, that I hear no more reproach.

Tobit 3:17
And Raphael was sent to heal them both, that is, to scale away the whiteness of Tobit's eyes, and to give Sara the daughter of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the son of Tobit; and to bind Asmodeus the evil spirit; because she belonged to Tobias by right of inheritance. The selfsame time came Tobit home, and entered into his house, and Sara the daughter of Raguel came down from her upper chamber.

Tobit 4:2
And said with himself, I have wished for death; wherefore do I not call for my son Tobias that I may signify to him of the money before I die?

Tobit 4:4
Remember, my son, that she saw many dangers for thee, when thou wast in her womb: and when she is dead, bury her by me in one grave.

Tobit 4:6
For if thou deal truly, thy doings shall prosperously succeed to thee, and to all them that live justly.

Tobit 4:9
For thou layest up a good treasure for thyself against the day of necessity.

Tobit 4:11
For alms is a good gift unto all that give it in the sight of the most High.

Tobit 4:12
Beware of all whoredom, my son, and chiefly take a wife of the seed of thy fathers, and take not a strange woman to wife, which is not of thy father's tribe: for we are the children of the prophets, Noe, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: remember, my son, that our fathers from the beginning, even that they all married wives of their own kindred, and were blessed in their children, and their seed shall inherit the land.

Tobit 4:13
Now therefore, my son, love thy brethren, and despise not in thy heart thy brethren, the sons and daughters of thy people, in not taking a wife of them: for in pride is destruction and much trouble, and in lewdness is decay and great want: for lewdness is the mother of famine.

Tobit 4:14
Let not the wages of any man, which hath wrought for thee, tarry with thee, but give him it out of hand: for if thou serve God, he will also repay thee: be circumspect my son, in all things thou doest, and be wise in all thy conversation.

Tobit 4:19
Bless the Lord thy God always, and desire of him that thy ways may be directed, and that all thy paths and counsels may prosper: for every nation hath not counsel; but the Lord himself giveth all good things, and he humbleth whom he will, as he will; now therefore, my son, remember my commandments, neither let them be put out of thy mind.

Tobit 4:21
And fear not, my son, that we are made poor: for thou hast much wealth, if thou fear God, and depart from all sin, and do that which is pleasing in his sight.

Tobit 5:6
To whom the angel said, I will go with thee, and I know the way well: for I have lodged with our brother Gabael.

Tobit 5:7
Then Tobias said unto him, Tarry for me, till I tell my father.

Tobit 5:11
To whom he said, Dost thou seek for a tribe or family, or an hired man to go with thy son? Then Tobit said unto him, I would know, brother, thy kindred and name.

Tobit 5:13
Then Tobit said, Thou art welcome, brother; be not now angry with me, because I have enquired to know thy tribe and thy family; for thou art my brother, of an honest and good stock: for I know Ananias and Jonathas, sons of that great Samaias, as we went together to Jerusalem to worship, and offered the firstborn, and the tenths of the fruits; and they were not seduced with the error of our brethren: my brother, thou art of a good stock.

Tobit 5:16
So they were well pleased. Then said he to Tobias, Prepare thyself for the journey, and God send you a good journey. And when his son had prepared all things far the journey, his father said, Go thou with this man, and God, which dwelleth in heaven, prosper your journey, and the angel of God keep you company. So they went forth both, and the young man's dog with them.

Tobit 5:19
For that which the Lord hath given us to live with doth suffice us.

Tobit 5:21
For the good angel will keep him company, and his journey shall be prosperous, and he shall return safe.

Tobit 6:8
As for the gall, it is good to anoint a man that hath whiteness in his eyes, and he shall be healed.

Tobit 6:10
The angel said to the young man, Brother, to day we shall lodge with Raguel, who is thy cousin; he also hath one only daughter, named Sara; I will speak for her, that she may be given thee for a wife.

Tobit 6:11
For to thee doth the right of her appertain, seeing thou only art of her kindred.

Tobit 6:12
And the maid is fair and wise: now therefore hear me, and I will speak to her father; and when we return from Rages we will celebrate the marriage: for I know that Raguel cannot marry her to another according to the law of Moses, but he shall be guilty of death, because the right of inheritance doth rather appertain to thee than to any other.

Tobit 6:14
And now I am the only son of my father, and I am afraid, lest if I go in unto her, I die, as the other before: for a wicked spirit loveth her, which hurteth no body, but those which come unto her; wherefore I also fear lest I die, and bring my father's and my mother's life because of me to the grave with sorrow: for they have no other son to bury them.

Tobit 6:15
Then the angel said unto him, Dost thou not remember the precepts which thy father gave thee, that thou shouldest marry a wife of thine own kindred? wherefore hear me, O my brother; for she shall be given thee to wife; and make thou no reckoning of the evil spirit; for this same night shall she be given thee in marriage.

Tobit 6:17
And the devil shall smell it, and flee away, and never come again any more: but when thou shalt come to her, rise up both of you, and pray to God which is merciful, who will have pity on you, and save you: fear not, for she is appointed unto thee from the beginning; and thou shalt preserve her, and she shall go with thee. Moreover I suppose that she shall bear thee children. Now when Tobias had heard these things, he loved her, and his heart was effectually joined to her.

Tobit 7:10
For it is meet that thou shouldest marry my daughter: nevertheless I will declare unto thee the truth.

Tobit 7:11
I have given my daughter in marriage to seven men, who died that night they came in unto her: nevertheless for the present be merry. But Tobias said, I will eat nothing here, till we agree and swear one to another.

Tobit 7:12
Raguel said, Then take her from henceforth according to the manner, for thou art her cousin, and she is thine, and the merciful God give you good success in all things.

Tobit 7:18
Be of good comfort, my daughter; the Lord of heaven and earth give thee joy for this thy sorrow: be of good comfort, my daughter.

Tobit 8:5
Then began Tobias to say, Blessed art thou, O God of our fathers, and blessed is thy holy and glorious name for ever; let the heavens bless thee, and all thy creatures.

Tobit 8:6
Thou madest Adam, and gavest him Eve his wife for an helper and stay: of them came mankind: thou hast said, It is not good that man should be alone; let us make unto him an aid like unto himself.

Tobit 8:7
And now, O Lord, I take not this my sister for lush but uprightly: therefore mercifully ordain that we may become aged together.

Tobit 8:15
Then Raguel praised God, and said, O God, thou art worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise; therefore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures; and let all thine angels and thine elect praise thee for ever.

Tobit 8:16
Thou art to be praised, for thou hast made me joyful; and that is not come to me which I suspected; but thou hast dealt with us according to thy great mercy.

Tobit 8:20
For before the days of the marriage were finished, Raguel had said unto him by an oath, that he should not depart till the fourteen days of the marriage were expired;

Tobit 9:3
For Raguel hath sworn that I shall not depart.

Tobit 10:5
Now I care for nothing, my son, since I have let thee go, the light of mine eyes.

Tobit 10:6
To whom Tobit said, Hold thy peace, take no care, for he is safe.

Tobit 10:7
But she said, Hold thy peace, and deceive me not; my son is dead. And she went out every day into the way which they went, and did eat no meat on the daytime, and ceased not whole nights to bewail her son Tobias, until the fourteen days of the wedding were expired, which Raguel had sworn that he should spend there. Then Tobias said to Raguel, Let me go, for my father and my mother look no more to see me.

Tobit 11:5
Now Anna sat looking about toward the way for her son.

Tobit 11:14
And he wept, and said, Blessed art thou, O God, and blessed is thy name for ever; and blessed are all thine holy angels:

Tobit 11:15
For thou hast scourged, and hast taken pity on me: for, behold, I see my son Tobias. And his son went in rejoicing, and told his father the great things that had happened to him in Media.

Tobit 12:3
For he hath brought me again to thee in safety, and made whole my wife, and brought me the money, and likewise healed thee.

Tobit 12:6
Then he took them both apart, and said unto them, Bless God, praise him, and magnify him, and praise him for the things which he hath done unto you in the sight of all that live. It is good to praise God, and exalt his name, and honourably to shew forth the works of God; therefore be not slack to praise him.

Tobit 12:9
For alms doth deliver from death, and shall purge away all sin. Those that exercise alms and righteousness shall be filled with life:

Tobit 12:11
Surely I will keep close nothing from you. For I said, It was good to keep close the secret of a king, but that it was honourable to reveal the works of God.

Tobit 12:16
Then they were both troubled, and fell upon their faces: for they feared.

Tobit 12:17
But he said unto them, Fear not, for it shall go well with you; praise God therefore.

Tobit 12:18
For not of any favour of mine, but by the will of our God I came; wherefore praise him for ever.

Tobit 12:20
Now therefore give God thanks: for I go up to him that sent me; but write all things which are done in a book.

Tobit 13:1
Then Tobit wrote a prayer of rejoicing, and said, Blessed be God that liveth for ever, and blessed be his kingdom.

Tobit 13:2
For he doth scourge, and hath mercy: he leadeth down to hell, and bringeth up again: neither is there any that can avoid his hand.

Tobit 13:3
Confess him before the Gentiles, ye children of Israel: for he hath scattered us among them.

Tobit 13:4
There declare his greatness, and extol him before all the living: for he is our Lord, and he is the God our Father for ever.

Tobit 13:5
And he will scourge us for our iniquities, and will have mercy again, and will gather us out of all nations, among whom he hath scattered us.

Tobit 13:8
Let all men speak, and let all praise him for his righteousness.

Tobit 13:9
O Jerusalem, the holy city, he will scourge thee for thy children's works, and will have mercy again on the sons of the righteous.

Tobit 13:10
Give praise to the Lord, for he is good: and praise the everlasting King, that his tabernacle may be builded in thee again with joy, and let him make joyful there in thee those that are captives, and love in thee for ever those that are miserable.

Tobit 13:12
Cursed are all they which hate thee, and blessed shall all be which love thee for ever.

Tobit 13:13
Rejoice and be glad for the children of the just: for they shall be gathered together, and shall bless the Lord of the just.

Tobit 13:14
O blessed are they which love thee, for they shall rejoice in thy peace: blessed are they which have been sorrowful for all thy scourges; for they shall rejoice for thee, when they have seen all thy glory, and shall be glad for ever.

Tobit 13:16
For Jerusalem shall be built up with sapphires and emeralds, and precious stone: thy walls and towers and battlements with pure gold.

Tobit 13:18
And all her streets shall say, Alleluia; and they shall praise him, saying, Blessed be God, which hath extolled it for ever.

Tobit 14:3
And when he was very aged he called his son, and the sons of his son, and said to him, My son, take thy children; for, behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart out of this life.

Tobit 14:4
Go into Media my son, for I surely believe those things which Jonas the prophet spake of Nineve, that it shall be overthrown; and that for a time peace shall rather be in Media; and that our brethren shall lie scattered in the earth from that good land: and Jerusalem shall be desolate, and the house of God in it shall be burned, and shall be desolate for a time;

Tobit 14:5
And that again God will have mercy on them, and bring them again into the land, where they shall build a temple, but not like to the first, until the time of that age be fulfilled; and afterward they shall return from all places of their captivity, and build up Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God shall be built in it for ever with a glorious building, as the prophets have spoken thereof.

Tobit 14:10
And bury me decently, and thy mother with me; but tarry no longer at Nineve. Remember, my son, how Aman handled Achiacharus that brought him up, how out of light he brought him into darkness, and how he rewarded him again: yet Achiacharus was saved, but the other had his reward: for he went down into darkness. Manasses gave alms, and escaped the snares of death which they had set for him: but Aman fell into the snare, and perished.

Judith 1:4
And he made the gates thereof, even gates that were raised to the height of seventy cubits, and the breadth of them was forty cubits, for the going forth of his mighty armies, and for the setting in array of his footmen:

Judith 1:11
But all the inhabitants of the land made light of the commandment of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, neither went they with him to the battle; for they were not afraid of him: yea, he was before them as one man, and they sent away his ambassadors from them without effect, and with disgrace.

Judith 1:13
Then he marched in battle array with his power against king Arphaxad in the seventeenth year, and he prevailed in his battle: for he overthrew all the power of Arphaxad, and all his horsemen, and all his chariots,

Judith 2:7
And thou shalt declare unto that they prepare for me earth and water: for I will go forth in my wrath against them and will cover the whole face of the earth with the feet of mine army, and I will give them for a spoil unto them:

Judith 2:10
Thou therefore shalt go forth. and take beforehand for me all their coasts: and if they will yield themselves unto thee, thou shalt reserve them for me till the day of their punishment.

Judith 2:12
For as I live, and by the power of my kingdom, whatsoever I have spoken, that will I do by mine hand.

Judith 2:15
And he mustered the chosen men for the battle, as his lord had commanded him, unto an hundred and twenty thousand, and twelve thousand archers on horseback;

Judith 2:16
And he ranged them, as a great army is ordered for the war.

Judith 2:17
And he took camels and asses for their carriages, a very great number; and sheep and oxen and goats without number for their provision:

Judith 2:18
And plenty of victual for every man of the army, and very much gold and silver out of the king's house.

Judith 2:20
A great number also sundry countries came with them like locusts, and like the sand of the earth: for the multitude was without number.

Judith 3:6
Then came he down toward the sea coast, both he and his army, and set garrisons in the high cities, and took out of them chosen men for aid.

Judith 3:8
Yet he did cast down their frontiers, and cut down their groves: for he had decreed to destroy all the gods of the land, that all nations should worship Nabuchodonosor only, and that all tongues and tribes should call upon him as god.

Judith 4:2
Therefore they were exceedingly afraid of him, and were troubled for Jerusalem, and for the temple of the Lord their God:

Judith 4:3
For they were newly returned from the captivity, and all the people of Judea were lately gathered together: and the vessels, and the altar, and the house, were sanctified after the profanation.

Judith 4:5
And possessed themselves beforehand of all the tops of the high mountains, and fortified the villages that were in them, and laid up victuals for the provision of war: for their fields were of late reaped.

Judith 4:7
Charging them to keep the passages of the hill country: for by them there was an entrance into Judea, and it was easy to stop them that would come up, because the passage was straight, for two men at the most.

Judith 4:12
And cried to the God of Israel all with one consent earnestly, that he would not give their children for a prey, and their wives for a spoil, and the cities of their inheritance to destruction, and the sanctuary to profanation and reproach, and for the nations to rejoice at.

Judith 4:13
So God heard their prayers, and looked upon their afflictions: for the people fasted many days in all Judea and Jerusalem before the sanctuary of the Lord Almighty.

Judith 5:1
Then was it declared to Holofernes, the chief captain of the army of Assur, that the children of Israel had prepared for war, and had shut up the passages of the hill country, and had fortified all the tops of the high hills and had laid impediments in the champaign countries:

Judith 5:8
For they left the way of their ancestors, and worshipped the God of heaven, the God whom they knew: so they cast them out from the face of their gods, and they fled into Mesopotamia, and sojourned there many days.

Judith 5:19
But now are they returned to their God, and are come up from the places where they were scattered, and have possessed Jerusalem, where their sanctuary is, and are seated in the hill country; for it was desolate.

Judith 5:21
But if there be no iniquity in their nation, let my lord now pass by, lest their Lord defend them, and their God be for them, and we become a reproach before all the world.

Judith 5:23
For, say they, we will not be afraid of the face of the children of Israel: for, lo, it is a people that have no strength nor power for a strong battle

Judith 6:3
He will send his power, and will destroy them from the face of the earth, and their God shall not deliver them: but we his servants will destroy them as one man; for they are not able to sustain the power of our horses.

Judith 6:4
For with them we will tread them under foot, and their mountains shall be drunken with their blood, and their fields shall be filled with their dead bodies, and their footsteps shall not be able to stand before us, for they shall utterly perish, saith king Nabuchodonosor, lord of all the earth: for he said, None of my words shall be in vain.

Judith 6:21
And Ozias took him out of the assembly unto his house, and made a feast to the elders; and they called on the God of Israel all that night for help.

Judith 7:4
Now the children of Israel, when they saw the multitude of them, were greatly troubled, and said every one to his neighbour, Now will these men lick up the face of the earth; for neither the high mountains, nor the valleys, nor the hills, are able to bear their weight.

Judith 7:10
For this people of the children of Israel do not trust in their spears, but in the height of the mountains wherein they dwell, because it is not easy to come up to the tops of their mountains.

Judith 7:13
For all the inhabitants of Bethulia have their water thence; so shall thirst kill them, and they shall give up their city, and we and our people shall go up to the tops of the mountains that are near, and will camp upon them, to watch that none go out of the city.

Judith 7:19
Then the children of Israel cried unto the Lord their God, because their heart failed, for all their enemies had compassed them round about, and there was no way to escape out from among them.

Judith 7:21
And the cisterns were emptied, and they had not water to drink their fill for one day; for they gave them drink by measure.

Judith 7:22
Therefore their young children were out of heart, and their women and young men fainted for thirst, and fell down in the streets of the city, and by the passages of the gates, and there was no longer any strength in them.

Judith 7:24
God be judge between us and you: for ye have done us great injury, in that ye have not required peace of the children of Assur.

Judith 7:25
For now we have no helper: but God hath sold us into their hands, that we should be thrown down before them with thirst and great destruction.

Judith 7:26
Now therefore call them unto you, and deliver the whole city for a spoil to the people of Holofernes, and to all his army.

Judith 7:27
For it is better for us to be made a spoil unto them, than to die for thirst: for we will be his servants, that our souls may live, and not see the death of our infants before our eyes, nor our wives nor our children to die.

Judith 7:30
Then said Ozias to them, Brethren, be of good courage, let us yet endure five days, in the which space the Lord our God may turn his mercy toward us; for he will not forsake us utterly.

Judith 8:3
For as he stood overseeing them that bound sheaves in the field, the heat came upon his head, and he fell on his bed, and died in the city of Bethulia: and they buried him with his fathers in the field between Dothaim and Balamo.

Judith 8:9
Now when she heard the evil words of the people against the governor, that they fainted for lack of water; for Judith had heard all the words that Ozias had spoken unto them, and that he had sworn to deliver the city unto the Assyrians after five days;

Judith 8:11
And they came unto her, and she said unto them, Hear me now, O ye governors of the inhabitants of Bethulia: for your words that ye have spoken before the people this day are not right, touching this oath which ye made and pronounced between God and you, and have promised to deliver the city to our enemies, unless within these days the Lord turn to help you.

Judith 8:14
For ye cannot find the depth of the heart of man, neither can ye perceive the things that he thinketh: then how can ye search out God, that hath made all these things, and know his mind, or comprehend his purpose? Nay, my brethren, provoke not the Lord our God to anger.

Judith 8:15
For if he will not help us within these five days, he hath power to defend us when he will, even every day, or to destroy us before our enemies.

Judith 8:16
Do not bind the counsels of the Lord our God: for God is not as man, that he may be threatened; neither is he as the son of man, that he should be wavering.

Judith 8:17
Therefore let us wait for salvation of him, and call upon him to help us, and he will hear our voice, if it please him.

Judith 8:18
For there arose none in our age, neither is there any now in these days neither tribe, nor family, nor people, nor city among us, which worship gods made with hands, as hath been aforetime.

Judith 8:19
For the which cause our fathers were given to the sword, and for a spoil, and had a great fall before our enemies.

Judith 8:21
For if we be taken so, all Judea shall lie waste, and our sanctuary shall be spoiled; and he will require the profanation thereof at our mouth.

Judith 8:23
For our servitude shall not be directed to favour: but the Lord our God shall turn it to dishonour.

Judith 8:27
For he hath not tried us in the fire, as he did them, for the examination of their hearts, neither hath he taken vengeance on us: but the Lord doth scourge them that come near unto him, to admonish them.

Judith 8:29
For this is not the first day wherein thy wisdom is manifested; but from the beginning of thy days all the people have known thy understanding, because the disposition of thine heart is good.

Judith 8:31
Therefore now pray thou for us, because thou art a godly woman, and the Lord will send us rain to fill our cisterns, and we shall faint no more.

Judith 8:34
But enquire not ye of mine act: for I will not declare it unto you, till the things be finished that I do.

Judith 9:2
O Lord God of my father Simeon, to whom thou gavest a sword to take vengeance of the strangers, who loosened the girdle of a maid to defile her, and discovered the thigh to her shame, and polluted her virginity to her reproach; for thou saidst, It shall not be so; and yet they did so:

Judith 9:4
And hast given their wives for a prey, and their daughters to be captives, and all their spoils to be divided among thy dear children; which were moved with thy zeal, and abhorred the pollution of their blood, and called upon thee for aid: O God, O my God, hear me also a widow.

Judith 9:5
For thou hast wrought not only those things, but also the things which fell out before, and which ensued after; thou hast thought upon the things which are now, and which are to come.

Judith 9:6
Yea, what things thou didst determine were ready at hand, and said, Lo, we are here: for all thy ways are prepared, and thy judgments are in thy foreknowledge.

Judith 9:7
For, behold, the Assyrians are multiplied in their power; they are exalted with horse and man; they glory in the strength of their footmen; they trust in shield, and spear, and bow, and sling; and know not that thou art the Lord that breakest the battles: the Lord is thy name.

Judith 9:8
Throw down their strength in thy power, and bring down their force in thy wrath: for they have purposed to defile thy sanctuary, and to pollute the tabernacle where thy glorious name resteth and to cast down with sword the horn of thy altar.

Judith 9:11
For thy power standeth not in multitude nor thy might in strong men: for thou art a God of the afflicted, an helper of the oppressed, an upholder of the weak, a protector of the forlorn, a saviour of them that are without hope.

Judith 10:12
And took her, and asked her, Of what people art thou? and whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? And she said, I am a woman of the Hebrews, and am fled from them: for they shall be given you to be consumed:

Judith 10:18
Then was there a concourse throughout all the camp: for her coming was noised among the tents, and they came about her, as she stood without the tent of Holofernes, till they told him of her.

Judith 11:1
Then said Holofernes unto her, Woman, be of good comfort, fear not in thine heart: for I never hurt any that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor, the king of all the earth.

Judith 11:3
But now tell me wherefore thou art fled from them, and art come unto us: for thou art come for safeguard; be of good comfort, thou shalt live this night, and hereafter:

Judith 11:4
For none shall hurt thee, but entreat thee well, as they do the servants of king Nabuchodonosor my lord.

Judith 11:7
As Nabuchodonosor king of all the earth liveth, and as his power liveth, who hath sent thee for the upholding of every living thing: for not only men shall serve him by thee, but also the beasts of the field, and the cattle, and the fowls of the air, shall live by thy power under Nabuchodonosor and all his house.

Judith 11:8
For we have heard of thy wisdom and thy policies, and it is reported in all the earth, that thou only art excellent in all the kingdom, and mighty in knowledge, and wonderful in feats of war.

Judith 11:9
Now as concerning the matter, which Achior did speak in thy council, we have heard his words; for the men of Bethulia saved him, and he declared unto them all that he had spoken unto thee.

Judith 11:10
Therefore, O lord and governor, reject not his word; but lay it up in thine heart, for it is true: for our nation shall not be punished, neither can sword prevail against them, except they sin against their God.

Judith 11:12
For their victuals fail them, and all their water is scant, and they have determined to lay hands upon their cattle, and purposed to consume all those things, that God hath forbidden them to eat by his laws:

Judith 11:13
And are resolved to spend the firstfruits of the the tenths of wine and oil, which they had sanctified, and reserved for the priests that serve in Jerusalem before the face of our God; the which things it is not lawful for any of the people so much as to touch with their hands.

Judith 11:14
For they have sent some to Jerusalem, because they also that dwell there have done the like, to bring them a licence from the senate.

Judith 11:17
For thy servant is religious, and serveth the God of heaven day and night: now therefore, my lord, I will remain with thee, and thy servant will go out by night into the valley, and I will pray unto God, and he will tell me when they have committed their sins:

Judith 11:19
And I will lead thee through the midst of Judea, until thou come before Jerusalem; and I will set thy throne in the midst thereof; and thou shalt drive them as sheep that have no shepherd, and a dog shall not so much as open his mouth at thee: for these things were told me according to my foreknowledge, and they were declared unto me, and I am sent to tell thee.

Judith 11:21
There is not such a woman from one end of the earth to the other, both for beauty of face, and wisdom of words.

Judith 12:1
Then he commanded to bring her in where his plate was set; and bade that they should prepare for her of his own meats, and that she should drink of his own wine.

Judith 12:2
And Judith said, I will not eat thereof, lest there be an offence: but provision shall be made for me of the things that I have brought.

Judith 12:3
Then Holofernes said unto her, If thy provision should fail, how should we give thee the like? for there be none with us of thy nation.

Judith 12:12
For, lo, it will be a shame for our person, if we shall let such a woman go, not having had her company; for if we draw her not unto us, she will laugh us to scorn.

Judith 12:15
So she arose, and decked herself with her apparel and all her woman's attire, and her maid went and laid soft skins on the ground for her over against Holofernes, which she had received of Bagoas far her daily use, that she might sit and eat upon them.

Judith 12:16
Now when Judith came in and sat down, Holofernes his heart was ravished with her, and his mind was moved, and he desired greatly her company; for he waited a time to deceive her, from the day that he had seen her.

Judith 13:1
Now when the evening was come, his servants made haste to depart, and Bagoas shut his tent without, and dismissed the waiters from the presence of his lord; and they went to their beds: for they were all weary, because the feast had been long.

Judith 13:2
And Judith was left along in the tent, and Holofernes lying along upon his bed: for he was filled with wine.

Judith 13:3
Now Judith had commanded her maid to stand without her bedchamber, and to wait for her. coming forth, as she did daily: for she said she would go forth to her prayers, and she spake to Bagoas according to the same purpose.

Judith 13:4
So all went forth and none was left in the bedchamber, neither little nor great. Then Judith, standing by his bed, said in her heart, O Lord God of all power, look at this present upon the works of mine hands for the exaltation of Jerusalem.

Judith 13:5
For now is the time to help thine inheritance, and to execute thine enterprizes to the destruction of the enemies which are risen against us.

Judith 13:13
And then they ran all together, both small and great, for it was strange unto them that she was come: so they opened the gate, and received them, and made a fire for a light, and stood round about them.

Judith 13:14
Then she said to them with a loud voice, Praise, praise God, praise God, I say, for he hath not taken away his mercy from the house of Israel, but hath destroyed our enemies by mine hands this night.

Judith 13:19
For this thy confidence shall not depart from the heart of men, which remember the power of God for ever.

Judith 13:20
And God turn these things to thee for a perpetual praise, to visit thee in good things because thou hast not spared thy life for the affliction of our nation, but hast revenged our ruin, walking a straight way before our God. And all the people said; So be it, so be it.

Judith 14:13
So they came to Holofernes' tent, and said to him that had the charge of all his things, Waken now our lord: for the slaves have been bold to come down against us to battle, that they may be utterly destroyed.

Judith 14:14
Then went in Bagoas, and knocked at the door of the tent; for he thought that he had slept with Judith.

Judith 14:18
These slaves have dealt treacherously; one woman of the Hebrews hath brought shame upon the house of king Nabuchodonosor: for, behold, Holofernes lieth upon the ground without a head.

Judith 15:5
Now when the children of Israel heard it, they all fell upon them with one consent, and slew them unto Chobai: likewise also they that came from Jerusalem, and from all the hill country, (for men had told them what things were done in the camp of their enemies) and they that were in Galaad, and in Galilee, chased them with a great slaughter, until they were past Damascus and the borders thereof.

Judith 15:7
And the children of Israel that returned from the slaughter had that which remained; and the villages and the cities, that were in the mountains and in the plain, gat many spoils: for the multitude was very great.

Judith 15:10
Thou hast done all these things by thine hand: thou hast done much good to Israel, and God is pleased therewith: blessed be thou of the Almighty Lord for evermore. And all the people said, So be it.

Judith 15:12
Then all the women of Israel ran together to see her, and blessed her, and made a dance among them for her: and she took branches in her hand, and gave also to the women that were with her.

Judith 16:3
For God breaketh the battles: for among the camps in the midst of the people he hath delivered me out of the hands of them that persecuted me.

Judith 16:7
For the mighty one did not fall by the young men, neither did the sons of the Titans smite him, nor high giants set upon him: but Judith the daughter of Merari weakened him with the beauty of her countenance.

Judith 16:8
For she put off the garment of her widowhood for the exaltation of those that were oppressed in Israel, and anointed her face with ointment, and bound her hair in a tire, and took a linen garment to deceive him.

Judith 16:11
Then my afflicted shouted for joy, and my weak ones cried aloud; but they were astonished: these lifted up their voices, but they were overthrown.
