1 Esdras 8:85

Also Jesus, Anus, Sarabias, Adinus, Jacubus, Sabateas, Auteas, Maianeas, and Calitas, Asrias, and Joazabdus, and Ananias, Biatas, the Levites, taught the law of the Lord, making them withal to understand it.

1 Esdras 9:49
Then spake Attharates unto Esdras the chief priest and reader, and to the Levites that taught the multitude, even to all, saying,

1 Esdras 9:51
Go then, and eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send part to them that have nothing;

1 Esdras 9:52
For this day is holy unto the Lord: and be not sorrowful; for the Lord will bring you to honour.

1 Esdras 9:53
So the Levites published all things to the people, saying, This day is holy to the Lord; be not sorrowful.

1 Esdras 9:54
Then went they their way, every one to eat and drink, and make merry, and to give part to them that had nothing, and to make great cheer;

2 Esdras 1:15
Thus saith the Almighty Lord, The quails were as a token to you; I gave you tents for your safeguard: nevertheless ye murmured there,

2 Esdras 1:16
And triumphed not in my name for the destruction of your enemies, but ever to this day do ye yet murmur.

2 Esdras 1:18
Saying, Why hast thou brought us into this wilderness to kill us? it had been better for us to have served the Egyptians, than to die in this wilderness.

2 Esdras 1:19
Then had I pity upon your mournings, and gave you manna to eat; so ye did eat angels' bread.

2 Esdras 1:20
When ye were thirsty, did I not cleave the rock, and waters flowed out to your fill? for the heat I covered you with the leaves of the trees.

2 Esdras 1:24
What shall I do unto thee, O Jacob? thou, Juda, wouldest not obey me: I will turn me to other nations, and unto those will I give my name, that they may keep my statutes.

2 Esdras 1:25
Seeing ye have forsaken me, I will forsake you also; when ye desire me to be gracious unto you, I shall have no mercy upon you.

2 Esdras 1:26
Whensoever ye shall call upon me, I will not hear you: for ye have defiled your hands with blood, and your feet are swift to commit manslaughter.

2 Esdras 1:35
Your houses will I give to a people that shall come; which not having heard of me yet shall believe me; to whom I have shewed no signs, yet they shall do that I have commanded them.

2 Esdras 1:36
They have seen no prophets, yet they shall call their sins to remembrance, and acknowledge them.

2 Esdras 1:37
I take to witness the grace of the people to come, whose little ones rejoice in gladness: and though they have not seen me with bodily eyes, yet in spirit they believe the thing that I say.

2 Esdras 2:6
That thou bring them to confusion, and their mother to a spoil, that there may be no offspring of them.

2 Esdras 2:14
Take heaven and earth to witness; for I have broken the evil in pieces, and created the good: for I live, saith the Lord.

2 Esdras 2:20
Do right to the widow, judge for the fatherless, give to the poor, defend the orphan, clothe the naked,

2 Esdras 2:21
Heal the broken and the weak, laugh not a lame man to scorn, defend the maimed, and let the blind man come into the sight of my clearness.

2 Esdras 2:28
The heathen shall envy thee, but they shall be able to do nothing against thee, saith the Lord.

2 Esdras 2:35
Be ready to the reward of the kingdom, for the everlasting light shall shine upon you for evermore.

2 Esdras 2:37
O receive the gift that is given you, and be glad, giving thanks unto him that hath led you to the heavenly kingdom.

2 Esdras 2:47
So he answered and said unto me, It is the Son of God, whom they have confessed in the world. Then began I greatly to commend them that stood so stiffly for the name of the Lord.

2 Esdras 3:3
And my spirit was sore moved, so that I began to speak words full of fear to the most High, and said,

2 Esdras 3:7
And unto him thou gavest commandment to love thy way: which he transgressed, and immediately thou appointedst death in him and in his generations, of whom came nations, tribes, people, and kindreds, out of number.

2 Esdras 3:10
And it came to pass in every of them, that as death was to Adam, so was the flood to these.

2 Esdras 3:12
And it happened, that when they that dwelt upon the earth began to multiply, and had gotten them many children, and were a great people, they began again to be more ungodly than the first.

2 Esdras 3:16
And unto him thou gavest Isaac, and unto Isaac also thou gavest Jacob and Esau. As for Jacob, thou didst choose him to thee, and put by Esau: and so Jacob became a great multitude.

2 Esdras 3:17
And it came to pass, that when thou leadest his seed out of Egypt, thou broughtest them up to the mount Sinai.

2 Esdras 3:18
And bowing the heavens, thou didst set fast the earth, movedst the whole world, and madest the depths to tremble, and troubledst the men of that age.

2 Esdras 3:23
So the times passed away, and the years were brought to an end: then didst thou raise thee up a servant, called David:

2 Esdras 3:24
Whom thou commandedst to build a city unto thy name, and to offer incense and oblations unto thee therein.

2 Esdras 4:2
And said, Thy heart hath gone to far in this world, and thinkest thou to comprehend the way of the most High?

2 Esdras 4:3
Then said I, Yea, my lord. And he answered me, and said, I am sent to shew thee three ways, and to set forth three similitudes before thee:

2 Esdras 4:4
Whereof if thou canst declare me one, I will shew thee also the way that thou desirest to see, and I shall shew thee from whence the wicked heart cometh.

2 Esdras 4:6
Then answered I and said, What man is able to do that, that thou shouldest ask such things of me?

2 Esdras 4:11
How should thy vessel then be able to comprehend the way of the Highest, and, the world being now outwardly corrupted to understand the corruption that is evident in my sight?

2 Esdras 4:12
Then said I unto him, It were better that we were not at all, than that we should live still in wickedness, and to suffer, and not to know wherefore.

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 4:18
If thou wert judge now betwixt these two, whom wouldest thou begin to justify? or whom wouldest thou condemn?

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 4:24
And we pass away out of the world as grasshoppers, and our life is astonishment and fear, and we are not worthy to obtain mercy.

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 4:33
Then I answered and said, How, and when shall these things come to pass? wherefore are our years few and evil?

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 4:40
So he answered me, and said, Go thy way to a woman with child, and ask of her when she hath fulfilled her nine months, if her womb may keep the birth any longer within her.

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 4:43
From the beginning, look, what thou desirest to see, it shall be shewed thee.

2 Esdras 4:45
Shew me then whether there be more to come than is past, or more past than is to come.

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 5:3
And the land, that thou seest now to have root, shalt thou see wasted suddenly.

2 Esdras 5:4
But if the most High grant thee to live, thou shalt see after the third trumpet that the sun shall suddenly shine again in the night, and the moon thrice in the day:

2 Esdras 5:13
To shew thee such tokens I have leave; and if thou wilt pray again, and weep as now, and fast even days, thou shalt hear yet greater things.

2 Esdras 5:15
So the angel that was come to talk with me held me, comforted me, and set me up upon my feet.

2 Esdras 5:16
And in the second night it came to pass, that Salathiel the captain of the people came unto me, saying, Where hast thou been? and why is thy countenance so heavy?

2 Esdras 5:22
And my soul recovered the spirit of understanding, and I began to talk with the most High again,

2 Esdras 5:31
Now when I had spoken these words, the angel that came to me the night afore was sent unto me,

2 Esdras 5:32
And said unto me, Hear me, and I will instruct thee; hearken to the thing that I say, and I shall tell thee more.

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 5:37
Open me the places that are closed, and bring me forth the winds that in them are shut up, shew me the image of a voice: and then I will declare to thee the thing that thou labourest to know.

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 5:45
And I said, As thou hast said unto thy servant, that thou, which givest life to all, hast given life at once to the creature that thou hast created, and the creature bare it: even so it might now also bear them that now be present at once.

2 Esdras 5:46
And he said unto me, Ask the womb of a woman, and say unto her, If thou bringest forth children, why dost thou it not together, but one after another? pray her therefore to bring forth ten children at once.

2 Esdras 5:48
Then said he unto me, Even so have I given the womb of the earth to those that be sown in it in their times.

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 5:55
And so are they that come after you less than ye, as the creatures which now begin to be old, and have passed over the strength of youth.

2 Esdras 6:18
And it said, Behold, the days come, that I will begin to draw nigh, and to visit them that dwell upon the earth,

2 Esdras 6:19
And will begin to make inquisition of them, what they be that have hurt unjustly with their unrighteousness, and when the affliction of Sion shall be fulfilled;

2 Esdras 6:20
And when the world, that shall begin to vanish away, shall be finished, then will I shew these tokens: the books shall be opened before the firmament, and they shall see all together:

2 Esdras 6:30
And these words said he unto me; I am come to shew thee the time of the night to come.

2 Esdras 6:33
And therefore hath he sent me to shew thee all these things, and to say unto thee, Be of good comfort and fear not

2 Esdras 6:34
And hasten not with the times that are past, to think vain things, that thou mayest not hasten from the latter times.

2 Esdras 6:35
And it came to pass after this, that I wept again, and fasted seven days in like manner, that I might fulfil the three weeks which he told me.

2 Esdras 6:36
And in the eighth night was my heart vexed within me again, and I began to speak before the most High.

2 Esdras 6:40
Then commandedst thou a fair light to come forth of thy treasures, that thy work might appear.

2 Esdras 6:41
Upon the second day thou madest the spirit of the firmament, and commandedst it to part asunder, and to make a division betwixt the waters, that the one part might go up, and the other remain beneath.

2 Esdras 6:42
Upon the third day thou didst command that the waters should be gathered in the seventh part of the earth: six pats hast thou dried up, and kept them, to the intent that of these some being planted of God and tilled might serve thee.

2 Esdras 6:46
And gavest them a charge to do service unto man, that was to be made.

2 Esdras 6:47
Upon the fifth day thou saidst unto the seventh part, where the waters were gathered that it should bring forth living creatures, fowls and fishes: and so it came to pass.

2 Esdras 6:52
But unto Leviathan thou gavest the seventh part, namely, the moist; and hast kept him to be devoured of whom thou wilt, and when.

2 Esdras 6:57
And now, O Lord, behold, these heathen, which have ever been reputed as nothing, have begun to be lords over us, and to devour us.

2 Esdras 7:2
And he said unto me, Up, Esdras, and hear the words that I am come to tell thee.

2 Esdras 7:5
Who then could go into the sea to look upon it, and to rule it? if he went not through the narrow, how could he come into the broad?

2 Esdras 7:7
The entrance thereof is narrow, and is set in a dangerous place to fall, like as if there were a fire on the right hand, and on the left a deep water:

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 7:16
Why hast thou not considered in thy mind this thing that is to come, rather than that which is present?

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 7:26
Behold, the time shall come, that these tokens which I have told thee shall come to pass, and the bride shall appear, and she coming forth shall be seen, that now is withdrawn from the earth.

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

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 7:45
Then shall no man be able to save him that is destroyed, nor to oppress him that hath gotten the victory.

2 Esdras 7:46
I answered then and said, This is my first and last saying, that it had been better not to have given the earth unto Adam: or else, when it was given him, to have restrained him from sinning.

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 7:52
And that the glory of the most High is kept to defend them which have led a wary life, whereas we have walked in the most wicked ways of all?

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 7:61
That there should not be such heaviness in their destruction, as shall be joy over them that are persuaded to salvation.

2 Esdras 7:63
And upon those also that turn to his law;

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 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 8:6
O Lord, if thou suffer not thy servant, that we may pray before thee, and thou give us seed unto our heart, and culture to our understanding, that there may come fruit of it; how shall each man live that is corrupt, who beareth the place of a man?

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 8:14
If therefore thou shalt destroy him which with so great labour was fashioned, it is an easy thing to be ordained by thy commandment, that the thing which was made might be preserved.

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 8:18
But I have heard the swiftness of the judge which is to come.

2 Esdras 8:23
Whose look drieth up the depths, and indignation maketh the mountains to melt away; which the truth witnesseth:

2 Esdras 8:24
O hear the prayer of thy servant, and give ear to the petition of thy creature.

2 Esdras 8:28
Think not upon those that have walked feignedly before thee: but remember them, which according to thy will have known thy fear.

2 Esdras 8:29
Let it not be thy will to destroy them which have lived like beasts; but to look upon them that have clearly taught thy law.

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 8:40
Like as I have spoken now, so shall it come to pass.

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 8:49
In that thou hast humbled thyself, as it becometh thee, and hast not judged thyself worthy to be much glorified among the righteous.

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 8:52
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 8:53
The root of evil is sealed up from you, weakness and the moth is hid from you, and corruption is fled into hell to be forgotten:

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 8:63
Behold, O Lord, now hast thou shewed me the multitude of the wonders, which thou wilt begin to do in the last times: but at what time, thou hast not shewed me.

2 Esdras 9:2
Then shalt thou understand, that it is the very same time, wherein the Highest will begin to visit the world which he made.

2 Esdras 9:7
And every one that shall be saved, and shall be able to escape by his works, and by faith, whereby ye have believed,

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 9:28
And I opened my mouth, and began to talk before the most High, and said,

2 Esdras 9:44
And those thirty years I did nothing else day and night, and every hour, but make my, prayer to the Highest.

2 Esdras 9:47
So when he grew up, and came to the time that he should have a wife, I made a feast.

2 Esdras 10:1
And it so came to pass, that when my son was entered into his wedding chamber, he fell down, and died.

2 Esdras 10:2
Then we all overthrew the lights, and all my neighbours rose up to comfort me: so I took my rest unto the second day at night.

2 Esdras 10:3
And it came to pass, when they had all left off to comfort me, to the end I might be quiet; then rose I up by night and fled, and came hither into this field, as thou seest.

2 Esdras 10:4
And I do now purpose not to return into the city, but here to stay, and neither to eat nor drink, but continually to mourn and to fast until I die.

2 Esdras 10:5
Then left I the meditations wherein I was, and spake to her in anger, saying,

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 10:13
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 10:15
Now therefore keep thy sorrow to thyself, and bear with a good courage that which hath befallen thee.

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 10:17
Go thy way then into the city to thine husband.

2 Esdras 10:19
So I proceeded to speak further unto her, and said,

2 Esdras 10:22
Our psaltery is laid on the ground, our song is put to silence, our rejoicing is at an end, the light of our candlestick is put out, the ark of our covenant is spoiled, our holy things are defiled, and the name that is called upon us is almost profaned: our children are put to shame, our priests are burnt, our Levites are gone into captivity, our virgins are defiled, and our wives ravished; our righteous men carried away, our little ones destroyed, our young men are brought in bondage, and our strong men are become weak;

2 Esdras 10:25
And it came to pass while I was talking with her, behold, her face upon a sudden shined exceedingly, and her countenance glistered, so that I was afraid of her, and mused what it might be.

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 10:32
And I said, Because thou hast forsaken me, and yet I did according to thy words, and I went into the field, and, lo, I have seen, and yet see, that I am not able to express.

2 Esdras 10:41
Thou sawest a woman mourning, and thou begannest to comfort her:

2 Esdras 10:48
But whereas she said unto thee, That my son coming into his marriage chamber happened to have a fail, and died: this was the destruction that came to Jerusalem.

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 10:53
Therefore I commanded thee to go into the field, where no foundation of any building was.

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 10:55
And therefore fear not, let not thine heart be affrighted, but go thy way in, and see the beauty and greatness of the building, as much as thine eyes be able to see:

2 Esdras 10:58
But to morrow at night thou shalt remain here;

2 Esdras 11:7
And I beheld, and, lo, the eagle rose upon her talons, and spake to her feathers, saying,

2 Esdras 11:16
Hear thou that hast borne rule over the earth so long: this I say unto thee, before thou beginnest to appear no more,

2 Esdras 11:25
And I beheld, and, lo, the feathers that were under the wing thought to set up themselves and to have the rule.

2 Esdras 11:28
And I beheld, and, lo, the two that remained thought also in themselves to reign:

2 Esdras 11:39
Art not thou it that remainest of the four beasts, whom I made to reign in my world, that the end of their times might come through them?

2 Esdras 12:1
And it came to pass, whiles the lion spake these words unto the eagle, I saw,

2 Esdras 12:2
And, behold, the head that remained and the four wings appeared no more, and the two went unto it and set themselves up to reign, and their kingdom was small, and fill of uproar.

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

2 Esdras 12:15
Whereof the second shall begin to reign, and shall have more time than any of the twelve.

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 12:18
That after the time of that kingdom there shall arise great strivings, and it shall stand in peril of failing: nevertheless it shall not then fall, but shall be restored again to his beginning.

2 Esdras 12:19
And whereas thou sawest the eight small under feathers sticking to her wings, this is the interpretation:

2 Esdras 12:21
And two of them shall perish, the middle time approaching: four shall be kept until their end begin to approach: but two shall be kept unto the end.

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 12:36
Thou only hast been meet to know this secret of the Highest.

2 Esdras 12:38
And teach them to the wise of the people, whose hearts thou knowest may comprehend and keep these secrets.

2 Esdras 12:39
But wait thou here thyself yet seven days more, that it may be shewed thee, whatsoever it pleaseth the Highest to declare unto thee. And with that he went his way.

2 Esdras 12:40
And it came to pass, when all the people saw that the seven days were past, and I not come again into the city, they gathered them all together, from the least unto the greatest, and came unto me, and said,

2 Esdras 12:43
Are not the evils which are come to us sufficient?

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 13:1
And it came to pass after seven days, I dreamed a dream by night:

2 Esdras 13:3
And I beheld, and, lo, that man waxed strong with the thousands of heaven: and when he turned his countenance to look, all the things trembled that were seen under him.

2 Esdras 13:5
And after this I beheld, and, lo, there was gathered together a multitude of men, out of number, from the four winds of the heaven, to subdue the man that came out of the sea

2 Esdras 13:8
And after this I beheld, and, lo, all they which were gathered together to subdue him were sore afraid, and yet durst fight.

2 Esdras 13:11
And they were all mixed together; the blast of fire, the flaming breath, and the great tempest; and fell with violence upon the multitude which was prepared to fight, and burned them up every one, so that upon a sudden of an innumerable multitude nothing was to be perceived, but only dust and smell of smoke: when I saw this I was afraid.

2 Esdras 13:18
Now understand I the things that are laid up in the latter days, which shall happen unto them, and to those that are left behind.

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 13:28
And that he held neither sword, nor any instrument of war, but that the rushing in of him destroyed the whole multitude that came to subdue him; this is the interpretation:

2 Esdras 13:29
Behold, the days come, when the most High will begin to deliver them that are upon the earth.

2 Esdras 13:30
And he shall come to the astonishment of them that dwell on the earth.

2 Esdras 13:31
And one shall undertake to fight against another, one city against another, one place against another, one people against another, and one realm against another.

2 Esdras 13:32
And the time shall be when these things shall come to pass, and the signs shall happen which I shewed thee before, and then shall my Son be declared, whom thou sawest as a man ascending.

2 Esdras 13:34
And an innumerable multitude shall be gathered together, as thou sawest them, willing to come, and to overcome him by fighting.

2 Esdras 13:36
And Sion shall come, and shall be shewed to all men, being prepared and builded, like as thou sawest the hill graven without hands.

2 Esdras 13:38
And shall lay before them their evil thoughts, and the torments wherewith they shall begin to be tormented, which are like unto a flame: and he shall destroy them without labour by the law which is like unto me.

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 13:46
Then dwelt they there until the latter time; and now when they shall begin to come,

2 Esdras 14:1
And it came to pass upon the third day, I sat under an oak, and, behold, there came a voice out of a bush over against me, and said, Esdras, Esdras.

2 Esdras 14:4
And I sent him and led my people out of Egypt, and brought him up to the mount of where I held him by me a long season,

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

2 Esdras 14:15
And set aside the thoughts that are most heavy unto thee, and haste thee to flee from these times.

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 14:24
But look thou prepare thee many box trees, and take with thee Sarea, Dabria, Selemia, Ecanus, and Asiel, these five which are ready to write swiftly;

2 Esdras 14:25
And come hither, and I shall light a candle of understanding in thine heart, which shall not be put out, till the things be performed which thou shalt begin to write.

2 Esdras 14:26
And when thou hast done, some things shalt thou publish, and some things shalt thou shew secretly to the wise: to morrow this hour shalt thou begin to write.

2 Esdras 14:38
And the next day, behold, a voice called me, saying, Esdras, open thy mouth, and drink that I give thee to drink.

2 Esdras 14:45
And it came to pass, when the forty days were filled, that the Highest spake, saying, The first that thou hast written publish openly, that the worthy and unworthy may read it:

2 Esdras 14:46
But keep the seventy last, that thou mayest deliver them only to such as be wise among the people:

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

2 Esdras 15:10
Behold, my people is led as a flock to the slaughter: I will not suffer them now to dwell in the land of Egypt:

2 Esdras 15:14
Woe to the world and them that dwell therein!

2 Esdras 15:17
A man shall desire to go into a city, and shall not be able.

2 Esdras 15:20
Behold, saith God, I will call together all the kings of the earth to reverence me, which are from the rising of the sun, from the south, from the east, and Libanus; to turn themselves one against another, and repay the things that they have done to them.

2 Esdras 15:24
Woe to them that sin, and keep not my commandments! saith the Lord.

2 Esdras 15:31
And then shall the dragons have the upper hand, remembering their nature; and if they shall turn themselves, conspiring together in great power to persecute them,

2 Esdras 15:34
Behold clouds from the east and from the north unto the south, and they are very horrible to look upon, full of wrath and storm.

2 Esdras 15:39
And strong winds shall arise from the east, and shall open it; and the cloud which he raised up in wrath, and the star stirred to cause fear toward the east and west wind, shall be destroyed.

2 Esdras 15:44
They shall come to her, and besiege her, the star and all wrath shall they pour out upon her: then shall the dust and smoke go up unto the heaven, and all they that be about her shall bewail her.

2 Esdras 15:47
Woe be unto thee, thou wretch, because thou hast made thyself like unto her; and hast decked thy daughters in whoredom, that they might please and glory in thy lovers, which have always desired to commit whoredom with thee.

2 Esdras 15:49
I will send plagues upon thee; widowhood, poverty, famine, sword, and pestilence, to waste thy houses with destruction and death.

2 Esdras 15:51
Thou shalt be weakened as a poor woman with stripes, and as one chastised with wounds, so that the mighty and lovers shall not be able to receive thee.

2 Esdras 15:60
And in the passage they shall rush on the idle city, and shall destroy some portion of thy land, and consume part of thy glory, and shall return to Babylon that was destroyed.

2 Esdras 16:6
May any man drive away an hungry lion in the wood? or may any one quench the fire in stubble, when it hath begun to burn?

2 Esdras 16:11
The Lord shall threaten, and who shall not be utterly beaten to powder at his presence?

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 16:21
Behold, victuals shall be so good cheap upon earth, that they shall think themselves to be in good case, and even then shall evils grow upon earth, sword, famine, and great confusion.

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 16:24
There shall be no man left to till the earth, and to sow it

2 Esdras 16:27
So that one man shall desire to see another, and to hear his voice.

2 Esdras 16:39
Even so shall not the plagues be slack to come upon the earth, and the world shall mourn, and sorrows shall come upon it on every side.

2 Esdras 16:40
O my people, hear my word: make you ready to thy battle, and in those evils be even as pilgrims upon the earth.

2 Esdras 16:50
So shall righteousness hate iniquity, when she decketh herself, and shall accuse her to her face, when he cometh that shall defend him that diligently searcheth out every sin upon earth.

2 Esdras 16:51
And therefore be ye not like thereunto, nor to the works thereof.

2 Esdras 16:60
In the desert hath he made springs of water, and pools upon the tops of the mountains, that the floods might pour down from the high rocks to water the earth.

2 Esdras 16:64
Therefore hath the Lord exactly searched out all your works, and he will put you all to shame.

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 16:78
It is left undressed, and is cast into the fire to be consumed therewith.

Tobit 1:3
I Tobit have walked all the days of my life in the ways of truth and justice, and I did many almsdeeds to my brethren, and my nation, who came with me to Nineve, into the land of the Assyrians.

Tobit 1:6
But I alone went often to Jerusalem at the feasts, as it was ordained unto all the people of Israel by an everlasting decree, having the firstfruits and tenths of increase, with that which was first shorn; and them gave I at the altar to the priests the children of Aaron.

Tobit 1:7
The first tenth part of all increase I gave to the sons of Aaron, who ministered at Jerusalem: another tenth part I sold away, and went, and spent it every year at Jerusalem:

Tobit 1:8
And the third I gave unto them to whom it was meet, as Debora my father's mother had commanded me, because I was left an orphan by my father.

Tobit 1:9
Furthermore, when I was come to the age of a man, I married Anna of mine own kindred, and of her I begat Tobias.

Tobit 1:10
And when we were carried away captives to Nineve, all my brethren and those that were of my kindred did eat of the bread of the Gentiles.

Tobit 1:16
And in the time of Enemessar I gave many alms to my brethren, and gave my bread to the hungry,

Tobit 1:17
And my clothes to the naked: and if I saw any of my nation dead, or cast about the walls of Nineve, I buried him.

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 2:1
Now when I was come home again, and my wife Anna was restored unto me, with my son Tobias, in the feast of Pentecost, which is the holy feast of the seven weeks, there was a good dinner prepared me, in the which I sat down to eat.

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 2:10
And I knew not that there were sparrows in the wall, and mine eyes being open, the sparrows muted warm dung into mine eyes, and a whiteness came in mine eyes: and I went to the physicians, but they helped me not: moreover Achiacharus did nourish me, until I went into Elymais.

Tobit 2:11
And my wife Anna did take women's works to do.

Tobit 2:12
And when she had sent them home to the owners, they paid her wages, and gave her also besides a kid.

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 3:4
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 3:5
And now thy judgments are many and true: deal with me according to my sins and my fathers': because we have not kept thy commandments, neither have walked in truth before thee.

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 3:7
It came to pass the same day, that in Ecbatane a city of Media Sara the daughter of Raguel was also reproached by her father's maids;

Tobit 3:8
Because that she had been married to seven husbands, whom Asmodeus the evil spirit had killed, before they had lain with her. Dost thou not know, said they, that thou hast strangled thine husbands? thou hast had already seven husbands, neither wast thou named after any of them.

Tobit 3:10
Whe she heard these things, she was very sorrowful, so that she thought to have strangled herself; and she said, I am the only daughter of my father, and if I do this, it shall be a reproach unto him, and I shall bring his old age with sorrow unto the grave.

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 4:1
In that day Tobit remembered the money which he had committed to Gabael in Rages of Media,

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 4:5
My son, be mindful of the Lord our God all thy days, and let not thy will be set to sin, or to transgress his commandments: do uprightly all thy life long, and follow not the ways of unrighteousness.

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

Tobit 4:8
If thou hast abundance give alms accordingly: if thou have but a little, be not afraid to give according to that little:

Tobit 4:10
Because that alms do deliver from death, and suffereth not to come into darkness.

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 4:15
Do that to no man which thou hatest: drink not wine to make thee drunken: neither let drunkenness go with thee in thy journey.

Tobit 4:16
Give of thy bread to the hungry, and of thy garments to them that are naked; and according to thine abundance give alms: and let not thine eye be envious, when thou givest alms.

Tobit 4:17
Pour out thy bread on the burial of the just, but give nothing to the wicked.

Tobit 4:20
And now I signify this to they that I committed ten talents to Gabael the son of Gabrias at Rages in Media.

Tobit 5:4
Therefore when he went to seek a man, he found Raphael that was an angel.

Tobit 5:5
But he knew not; and he said unto him, Canst thou go with me to Rages? and knowest thou those places well?

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 5:8
Then he said unto him, Go and tarry not. So he went in and said to his father, Behold, I have found one which will go with me. Then he said, Call him unto me, that I may know of what tribe he is, and whether he be a trusty man to go with thee.

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 5:14
But tell me, what wages shall I give thee? wilt thou a drachm a day, and things necessary, as to mine own son?

Tobit 5:15
Yea, moreover, if ye return safe, I will add something to thy wages.

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 5:17
But Anna his mother wept, and said to Tobit, Why hast thou sent away our son? is he not the staff of our hand, in going in and out before us?

Tobit 5:18
Be not greedy to add money to money: but let it be as refuse in respect of our child.

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

Tobit 5:20
Then said Tobit to her, Take no care, my sister; he shall return in safety, and thine eyes shall see him.

Tobit 6:1
And as they went on their journey, they came in the evening to the river Tigris, and they lodged there.

Tobit 6:2
And when the young man went down to wash himself, a fish leaped out of the river, and would have devoured him.

Tobit 6:3
Then the angel said unto him, Take the fish. And the young man laid hold of the fish, and drew it to land.

Tobit 6:4
To whom the angel said, Open the fish, and take the heart and the liver and the gall, and put them up safely.

Tobit 6:5
So the young man did as the angel commanded him; and when they had roasted the fish, they did eat it: then they both went on their way, till they drew near to Ecbatane.

Tobit 6:6
Then the young man said to the angel, Brother Azarias, to what use is the heart and the liver and the gal of the fish?

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 6:9
And when they were come near to Rages,

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 6:13
Then the young man answered the angel, I have heard, brother Azarias that this maid hath been given to seven men, who all died in the marriage chamber.

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 7:1
And when they were come to Ecbatane, they came to the house of Raguel, and Sara met them: and after they had saluted one another, she brought them into the house.

Tobit 7:2
Then said Raguel to Edna his wife, How like is this young man to Tobit my cousin!

Tobit 7:3
And Raguel asked them, From whence are ye, brethren? To whom they said, We are of the sons of Nephthalim, which are captives in Nineve.

Tobit 7:4
Then he said to them, Do ye know Tobit our kinsman? And they said, We know him. Then said he, Is he in good health?

Tobit 7:8
And likewise Edna his wife and Sara his daughter wept. Moreover they entertained them cheerfully; and after that they had killed a ram of the flock, they set store of meat on the table. Then said Tobias to Raphael, Brother Azarias, speak of those things of which thou didst talk in the way, and let this business be dispatched.

Tobit 7:9
So he communicated the matter with Raguel: and Raguel said to Tobias, Eat and drink, and make merry:

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 7:13
Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife to Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and lead her away to thy father. And he blessed them;

Tobit 7:15
Then they began to eat.

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 8:15
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 8:17
Thou art to be praised because thou hast had mercy of two that were the only begotten children of their fathers: grant them mercy, O Lord, and finish their life in health with joy and mercy.

Tobit 8:18
Then Raguel bade his servants to fill the grave.

Tobit 8:21
And then he should take the half of his goods, and go in safety to his father; and should have the rest when I and my wife be dead.

Tobit 9:2
Brother Azarias, take with thee a servant, and two camels, and go to Rages of Media to Gabael, and bring me the money, and bring him to the wedding.

Tobit 9:5
So Raphael went out, and lodged with Gabael, and gave him the handwriting: who brought forth bags which were sealed up, and gave them to him.

Tobit 9:6
And early in the morning they went forth both together, and came to the wedding: and Tobias blessed his wife.

Tobit 10:2
Then Tobit said, Are they detained? or is Gabael dead, and there is no man to give him the money?

Tobit 10:4
Then his wife said unto him, My son is dead, seeing he stayeth long; and she began to wail him, and said,

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 10:8
But his father in law said unto him, Tarry with me, and I will send to thy father, and they shall declare unto him how things go with thee.

Tobit 10:9
But Tobias said, No; but let me go to my father.

Tobit 10:12
And he said to his daughter, Honour thy father and thy mother in law, which are now thy parents, that I may hear good report of thee. And he kissed her. Edna also said to Tobias, The Lord of heaven restore thee, my dear brother, and grant that I may see thy children of my daughter Sara before I die, that I may rejoice before the Lord: behold, I commit my daughter unto thee of special trust; where are do not entreat her evil.

Tobit 11:2
Then Raphael said to Tobias, Thou knowest, brother, how thou didst leave thy father:

Tobit 11:6
And when she espied him coming, she said to his father, Behold, thy son cometh, and the man that went with him.

Tobit 11:9
Then Anna ran forth, and fell upon the neck of her son, and said unto him, Seeing I have seen thee, my son, from henceforth I am content to die. And they wept both.

Tobit 11:12
And when his eyes began to smart, he rubbed them;

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 11:16
Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter in law at the gate of Nineve, rejoicing and praising God: and they which saw him go marvelled, because he had received his sight.

Tobit 11:17
But Tobias gave thanks before them, because God had mercy on him. And when he came near to Sara his daughter in law, he blessed her, saying, Thou art welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath brought thee unto us, and blessed be thy father and thy mother. And there was joy among all his brethren which were at Nineve.

Tobit 12:2
And Tobias said unto him, O father, it is no harm to me to give him half of those things which I have brought:

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 12:7
It is good to keep close the secret of a king, but it is honourable to reveal the works of God. Do that which is good, and no evil shall touch you.

Tobit 12:8
Prayer is good with fasting and alms and righteousness. A little with righteousness is better than much with unrighteousness. It is better to give alms than to lay up gold:
