Baruch 1:17
For we have sinned before the Lord,
Baruch 1:18
And disobeyed him, and have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in the commandments that he gave us openly:

Baruch 2:14
Hear our prayers, O Lord, and our petitions, and deliver us for thine own sake, and give us favour in the sight of them which have led us away:

Open thine eyes, and behold; for the dead that are in the graves, whose souls are taken from their bodies, will give unto the Lord neither praise nor righteousness:
Baruch 2:18
But the soul that is greatly vexed, which goeth stooping and feeble, and the eyes that fail, and the hungry soul, will give thee praise and righteousness, O Lord.
Baruch 2:19
Therefore we do not make our humble supplication before thee, O Lord our God, for the righteousness of our fathers, and of our kings.
Baruch 2:20
For thou hast sent out thy wrath and indignation upon us, as thou hast spoken by thy servants the prophets, saying,
Baruch 2:21
Thus saith the Lord, Bow down your shoulders to serve the king of Babylon: so shall ye remain in the land that I gave unto your fathers.
Baruch 2:22
But if ye will not hear the voice of the Lord, to serve the king of Babylon,
Baruch 2:23
I will cause to cease out of the cites of Judah, and from without Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: and the whole land shall be desolate of inhabitants.
Baruch 2:24
But we would not hearken unto thy voice, to serve the king of Babylon: therefore hast thou made good the words that thou spakest by thy servants the prophets, namely, that the bones of our kings, and the bones of our fathers, should be taken out of their place.
Baruch 2:25

Baruch 2:26
And the house which is called by thy name hast thou laid waste, as it is to be seen this day, for the wickedness of the house of Israel and the house of Juda.
Baruch 2:28
As thou spakest by thy servant Moses in the day when thou didst command him to write the law before the children of Israel, saying,
Baruch 2:29
If ye will not hear my voice, surely this very great multitude shall be turned into a small number among the nations, where I will scatter them.
Baruch 2:30
For I knew that they would not hear me, because it is a stiffnecked people: but in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves.
Baruch 2:31
And shall know that I am the Lord their God: for I will give them an heart, and ears to hear:
Baruch 2:32
And they shall praise me in the land of their captivity, and think upon my name,
Baruch 2:33
And return from their stiff neck, and from their wicked deeds: for they shall remember the way of their fathers, which sinned before the Lord.
Baruch 2:34
And I will bring them again into the land which I promised with an oath unto their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and they shall be lords of it: and I will increase them, and they shall not be diminished.

Baruch 3:6
For thou art the Lord our God, and thee, O Lord, will we praise.
Baruch 3:7
And for this cause thou hast put thy fear in our hearts, to the intent that we should call upon thy name, and praise thee in our captivity: for we have called to mind all the iniquity of our forefathers, that sinned before thee.

Baruch 3:30
Who hath gone over the sea, and found her, and will bring her for pure gold?
Baruch 3:32
But he that knoweth all things knoweth her, and hath found her out with his understanding: he that prepared the earth for evermore hath filled it with fourfooted beasts:

Susanna 1:2
And he took a wife, whose name was Susanna, the daughter of Chelcias, a very fair woman, and one that feared the Lord.
Susanna 1:3
Her parents also were righteous, and taught their daughter according to the law of Moses.
Susanna 1:4
Now Joacim was a great rich man, and had a fair garden joining unto his house: and to him resorted the Jews; because he was more honourable than all others.
Susanna 1:5
The same year were appointed two of the ancients of the people to be judges, such as the Lord spake of, that wickedness came from Babylon from ancient judges, who seemed to govern the people.
Susanna 1:7
Now when the people departed away at noon, Susanna went into her husband's garden to walk.
Susanna 1:8
And the two elders saw her going in every day, and walking; so that their lust was inflamed toward her.
Susanna 1:13
And the one said to the other, Let us now go home: for it is dinner time.
Susanna 1:14
So when they were gone out, they parted the one from the other, and turning back again they came to the same place; and after that they had asked one another the cause, they acknowledged their lust: then appointed they a time both together, when they might find her alone.
Susanna 1:15
And it fell out, as they watched a fit time, she went in as before with two maids only, and she was desirous to wash herself in the garden: for it was hot.
Susanna 1:16
And there was no body there save the two elders, that had hid themselves, and watched her.
Susanna 1:17
Then she said to her maids, Bring me oil and washing balls, and shut the garden doors, that I may wash me.
Susanna 1:18
And they did as she bade them, and shut the garden doors, and went out themselves at privy doors to fetch the things that she had commanded them: but they saw not the elders, because they were hid.
Susanna 1:19
Now when the maids were gone forth, the two elders rose up, and ran unto her, saying,
Susanna 1:20
Behold, the garden doors are shut, that no man can see us, and we are in love with thee; therefore consent unto us, and lie with us.
Susanna 1:23
It is better for me to fall into your hands, and not do it, than to sin in the sight of the Lord.
Susanna 1:24
With that Susanna cried with a loud voice: and the two elders cried out against her.
Susanna 1:25
Then ran the one, and opened the garden door.
Susanna 1:26
So when the servants of the house heard the cry in the garden, they rushed in at the privy door, to see what was done unto her.
Susanna 1:27
But when the elders had declared their matter, the servants were greatly ashamed: for there was never such a report made of Susanna.
Susanna 1:28
And it came to pass the next day, when the people were assembled to her husband Joacim, the two elders came also full of mischievous imagination against Susanna to put her to death;
Susanna 1:29
And said before the people, Send for Susanna, the daughter of Chelcias, Joacim's wife. And so they sent.
Susanna 1:34
Then the two elders stood up in the midst of the people, and laid their hands upon her head.
Susanna 1:35
And she weeping looked up toward heaven: for her heart trusted in the Lord.
Susanna 1:36
And the elders said, As we walked in the garden alone, this woman came in with two maids, and shut the garden doors, and sent the maids away.
Susanna 1:38
Then we that stood in a corner of the garden, seeing this wickedness, ran unto them.
Susanna 1:39
And when we saw them together, the man we could not hold: for he was stronger than we, and opened the door, and leaped out.
Susanna 1:40
But having taken this woman, we asked who the young man was, but she would not tell us: these things do we testify.
Susanna 1:41
Then the assembly believed them as those that were the elders and judges of the people: so they condemned her to death.
Susanna 1:42
Then Susanna cried out with a loud voice, and said, O everlasting God, that knowest the secrets, and knowest all things before they be:
Susanna 1:44
And the Lord heard her voice.
Susanna 1:45
Therefore when she was led to be put to death, the Lord raised up the holy spirit of a young youth whose name was Daniel:
Susanna 1:46
Who cried with a loud voice, I am clear from the blood of this woman.
Susanna 1:47
Then all the people turned them toward him, and said, What mean these words that thou hast spoken?
Susanna 1:48
So he standing in the midst of them said, Are ye such fools, ye sons of Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the truth ye have condemned a daughter of Israel?
Susanna 1:49
Return again to the place of judgment: for they have borne false witness against her.
Susanna 1:50
Wherefore all the people turned again in haste, and the elders said unto him, Come, sit down among us, and shew it us, seeing God hath given thee the honour of an elder.
Susanna 1:53
For thou hast pronounced false judgment and hast condemned the innocent and hast let the guilty go free; albeit the Lord saith, The innocent and righteous shalt thou not slay.
Susanna 1:55
And Daniel said, Very well; thou hast lied against thine own head; for even now the angel of God hath received the sentence of God to cut thee in two.
Susanna 1:56
So he put him aside, and commanded to bring the other, and said unto him, O thou seed of Chanaan, and not of Juda, beauty hath deceived thee, and lust hath perverted thine heart.
Susanna 1:57
Thus have ye dealt with the daughters of Israel, and they for fear companied with you: but the daughter of Juda would not abide your wickedness.
Susanna 1:59
Then said Daniel unto him, Well; thou hast also lied against thine own head: for the angel of God waiteth with the sword to cut thee in two, that he may destroy you.
Susanna 1:60
With that all the assembly cried out with a loud voice, and praised God, who saveth them that trust in him.
Susanna 1:61
And they arose against the two elders, for Daniel had convicted them of false witness by their own mouth:
Susanna 1:62
And according to the law of Moses they did unto them in such sort as they maliciously intended to do to their neighbour: and they put them to death. Thus the innocent blood was saved the same day.
Susanna 1:63
Therefore Chelcias and his wife praised God for their daughter Susanna, with Joacim her husband, and all the kindred, because there was no dishonesty found in her.
Susanna 1:64
From that day forth was Daniel had in great reputation in the sight of the people.
Bel and the Dragon 1:2
And Daniel conversed with the king, and was honoured above all his friends.
Bel and the Dragon 1:3
Now the Babylons had an idol, called Bel, and there were spent upon him every day twelve great measures of fine flour, and forty sheep, and six vessels of wine.
Bel and the Dragon 1:4
And the king worshipped it and went daily to adore it: but Daniel worshipped his own God. And the king said unto him, Why dost not thou worship Bel?
Bel and the Dragon 1:5
Who answered and said, Because I may not worship idols made with hands, but the living God, who hath created the heaven and the earth, and hath sovereignty over all flesh.
Bel and the Dragon 1:6
Then said the king unto him, Thinkest thou not that Bel is a living God? seest thou not how much he eateth and drinketh every day?
Bel and the Dragon 1:8
So the king was wroth, and called for his priests, and said unto them, If ye tell me not who this is that devoureth these expences, ye shall die.
Bel and the Dragon 1:9
But if ye can certify me that Bel devoureth them, then Daniel shall die: for he hath spoken blasphemy against Bel. And Daniel said unto the king, Let it be according to thy word.
Bel and the Dragon 1:10
Now the priests of Bel were threescore and ten, beside their wives and children. And the king went with Daniel into the temple of Bel.
Bel and the Dragon 1:11
So Bel's priests said, Lo, we go out: but thou, O king, set on the meat, and make ready the wine, and shut the door fast and seal it with thine own signet;
Bel and the Dragon 1:13
And they little regarded it: for under the table they had made a privy entrance, whereby they entered in continually, and consumed those things.
Bel and the Dragon 1:14
So when they were gone forth, the king set meats before Bel. Now Daniel had commanded his servants to bring ashes, and those they strewed throughout all the temple in the presence of the king alone: then went they out, and shut the door, and sealed it with the king's signet, and so departed.
Bel and the Dragon 1:15
Now in the night came the priests with their wives and children, as they were wont to do, and did eat and drinck up all.
Bel and the Dragon 1:16
In the morning betime the king arose, and Daniel with him.
Bel and the Dragon 1:17
And the king said, Daniel, are the seals whole? And he said, Yea, O king, they be whole.
Bel and the Dragon 1:18
And as soon as he had opened the dour, the king looked upon the table, and cried with a loud voice, Great art thou, O Bel, and with thee is no deceit at all.
Bel and the Dragon 1:19
Then laughed Daniel, and held the king that he should not go in, and said, Behold now the pavement, and mark well whose footsteps are these.
Bel and the Dragon 1:20
And the king said, I see the footsteps of men, women, and children. And then the king was angry,
Bel and the Dragon 1:21
And took the priests with their wives and children, who shewed him the privy doors, where they came in, and consumed such things as were upon the table.
Bel and the Dragon 1:22
Therefore the king slew them, and delivered Bel into Daniel's power, who destroyed him and his temple.
Bel and the Dragon 1:24
And the king said unto Daniel, Wilt thou also say that this is of brass? lo, he liveth, he eateth and drinketh; thou canst not say that he is no living god: therefore worship him.
Bel and the Dragon 1:25
Then said Daniel unto the king, I will worship the Lord my God: for he is the living God.
Bel and the Dragon 1:26
But give me leave, O king, and I shall slay this dragon without sword or staff. The king said, I give thee leave.
Bel and the Dragon 1:27
Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and did seethe them together, and made lumps thereof: this he put in the dragon's mouth, and so the dragon burst in sunder : and Daniel said, Lo, these are the gods ye worship.
Bel and the Dragon 1:28
When they of Babylon heard that, they took great indignation, and conspired against the king, saying, The king is become a Jew, and he hath destroyed Bel, he hath slain the dragon, and put the priests to death.
Bel and the Dragon 1:29
So they came to the king, and said, Deliver us Daniel, or else we will destroy thee and thine house.
Bel and the Dragon 1:30
Now when the king saw that they pressed him sore, being constrained, he delivered Daniel unto them:
Bel and the Dragon 1:31
Who cast him into the lions' den: where he was six days.
Bel and the Dragon 1:32
And in the den there were seven lions, and they had given them every day two carcases, and two sheep: which then were not given to them, to the intent they might devour Daniel.
Bel and the Dragon 1:33
Now there was in Jewry a prophet, called Habbacuc, who had made pottage, and had broken bread in a bowl, and was going into the field, for to bring it to the reapers.
Bel and the Dragon 1:34
But the angel of the Lord said unto Habbacuc, Go, carry the dinner that thou hast into Babylon unto Daniel, who is in the lions' den.
Bel and the Dragon 1:35
And Habbacuc said, Lord, I never saw Babylon; neither do I know where the den is.
Bel and the Dragon 1:36
Then the angel of the Lord took him by the crown, and bare him by the hair of his head, and through the vehemency of his spirit set him in Babylon over the den.
Bel and the Dragon 1:37
And Habbacuc cried, saying, O Daniel, Daniel, take the dinner which God hath sent thee.
Bel and the Dragon 1:39
So Daniel arose, and did eat: and the angel of the Lord set Habbacuc in his own place again immediately.
Bel and the Dragon 1:40
Upon the seventh day the king went to bewail Daniel: and when he came to the den, he looked in, and behold, Daniel was sitting.
Bel and the Dragon 1:41
Then cried the king with a loud voice, saying, Great art Lord God of Daniel, and there is none other beside thee.
Bel and the Dragon 1:42
And he drew him out, and cast those that were the cause of his destruction into the den: and they were devoured in a moment before his face.
Prayer of Manassheh 1:1
O Lord, Almighty God of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and of their righteous seed;

Then certain of the people were so forward herein, that they went to the king, who gave them licence to do after the ordinances of the heathen:
1 Maccabees 1:14

1 Maccabees 1:15
And made themselves uncircumcised, and forsook the holy covenant, and joined themselves to the heathen, and were sold to do mischief.
