Isaiah 50Isaiah 511 Timothy 5Isaiah 50
1
Thus saith the LORD, Where [is] the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors [is it] to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
2
Wherefore, when I came, [was there] no man? when I called, [was there] none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because [there is] no water, and dieth for thirst.
3
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
4
The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to [him that is] weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
5
The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
6
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7
For the Lord GOD will help me therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8
[He is] near that justifieth me who will contend with me? let us stand together: who [is] mine adversary? let him come near to me.
9
Behold, the Lord GOD will help me who [is] he [that] shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment the moth shall eat them up.
10
Who [is] among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh [in] darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
11
Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass [yourselves] about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks [that] ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand ye shall lie down in sorrow.
Isaiah 51
1
Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock [whence] ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit [whence] ye are digged.
2
Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah [that] bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
3
For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4
Hearken unto me, my people and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
5
My righteousness [is] near my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
6
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7
Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart [is] my law fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
8
For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
9
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. [Art] thou not it that hath cut Rahab, [and] wounded the dragon?
10
[Art] thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
11
Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion and everlasting joy [shall be] upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy [and] sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
12
I, [even] I, [am] he that comforteth you: who [art] thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man [that] shall die, and of the son of man [which] shall be made [as] grass
13
And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where [is] the fury of the oppressor?
14
The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
15
But I [am] the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts [is] his name.
16
And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou [art] my people.
17
Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, [and] wrung [them] out.
18
[There is] none to guide her among all the sons [whom] she hath brought forth neither [is there any] that taketh her by the hand of all the sons [that] she hath brought up.
19
These two [things] are come unto thee who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?
20
Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.
21
Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
22
Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God [that] pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, [even] the dregs of the cup of my fury thou shalt no more drink it again:
23
But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.
1 Timothy 5
1
Rebuke not an elder, but intreat [him] as a father [and] the younger men as brethren
2
The elder women as mothers the younger as sisters, with all purity.
3
Honour widows that are widows indeed.
4
But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.
5
Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
6
But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
7
And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
8
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
9
Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,
10
Well reported of for good works if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.
11
But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry
12
Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
13
And withal they learn [to be] idle, wandering about from house to house and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
14
I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
15
For some are already turned aside after Satan.
16
If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
17
Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
18
For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of his reward.
19
Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
20
Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
21
I charge [thee] before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
22
Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
23
Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
24
Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment and some [men] they follow after.
25
Likewise also the good works [of some] are manifest beforehand and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
