And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.

And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.

So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.

Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.

Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

The nation of Israel, the princes, the priests and Levites, have not put away from them the strange people of the land, nor the pollutions of the Gentiles to wit, of the Canaanites, Hittites, Pheresites, Jebusites, and the Moabites, Egyptians, and Edomites.

Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;

And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.

And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.

And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.

Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the Lord go down to the gates.

For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.

Yea, many also of the Israelites consented to his religion, and sacrificed unto idols, and profaned the sabbath.

They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;

For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.

Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;

For I knew that they would not hear me, because it is a stiff-necked people: but in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves.

Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.

My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.

The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee; The city of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.

And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.

Therefore shall they receive a glorious kingdom, and a beautiful crown from the Lord's hand: for with his right hand shall he cover them, and with his arm shall he protect them.

Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;

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.

Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.

And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the Lord, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.

Return unto the Lord, and forsake thy sins, make thy prayer before his face, and offend less.

He that hateth to be reproved is in the way of sinners: but he that feareth the Lord will repent from his heart.

So is it with a man that fasteth for his sins, and goeth again, and doeth the same: who will hear his prayer? or what doth his humbling profit him?

To depart from wickedness is a thing pleasing to the Lord; and to forsake unrighteousness is a propitiation.

Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
