Who is wise, and will observe these things, and understand the mercies of the Lord?

Who is wise, and will understand these things? Or prudent, and will know them? For the ways of the Lord are straight, and the righteous shall walk in them; but the ungodly shall fall therein.

Now I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.

But in this let it not escape your notice, beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

[] Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to [the] revelation of [the] mystery kept secret since the world began,

how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery, just as I wrote before briefly,

with reference to which, when you read, you can understand my insight in the mystery of Christ,

and to enlighten all [as to] what is the administration of the mystery, which had been hidden from the ages in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ;

but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, whenever he is about to sound [his] trumpet, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

Be of the same mind toward one another. Not minding the high things, but associating with the humble. Do not become wise in your own opinion.

Trust in God with all your heart; and be not exalted in your own wisdom.

Be not wise in your own conceit; but fear God, and depart from all evil.

I have seen a man who seemed to himself to be wise; but a fool had more hope than he.

A sluggard seems to himself wiser than one who most satisfactorily brings back a message.

Woe [to them] that are wise in their own conceit, and knowing in their own sight.

What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained [it], and the rest were blinded.

Just as it is written: "God has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day."

But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is removed in Christ.

But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before Him.

And He shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

The kings of Tarshish, and the isles, shall bring presents: the kings of the Arabians and Sheba shall offer gifts.

For He has delivered the poor from the oppressor; and the needy who had no helper.

He shall redeem their souls from oppression and injustice, and their name [shall be] precious before Him.

A Song of Degrees. Except the Lord build the house, they that build labor in vain: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman watches in vain.

The word which came to Isaiah the son of Amoz concerning Judah, and concerning Jerusalem.

And many nations shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will tell us His way, and we will walk in it; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.

And now, O house of Jacob, come, [and] let us walk in the light of the Lord.

For their land is filled with silver and gold, and there was no number of their treasures; their land also is filled with horses, and there was no number of chariots.

Be enlightened, be enlightened, O Jerusalem, for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you!

And kings shall walk in your light, and nations in your brightness.

Then shall you see, and fear, and be amazed in your heart; for the wealth of the sea shall come round to you, and of nations and peoples; and herds of camels shall come to you,

And all the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered, and the rams of Nebaioth shall come; and acceptable sacrifices shall be offered on My altar, and My house of prayer shall be glorified.

The isles have waited for Me, and the ships of Tarshish among the first, to bring your children from afar, and their silver and their gold with them, and [that] for the sake of the holy name of the Lord, and because the Holy One of Israel is glorified.

And your gates shall be opened continually; they shall not be shut, day or night; to bring in to you the power of the Gentiles, and their kings as captives.

And the glory of Lebanon shall come to you, with the cypress, and pine, and cedar together, to glorify My holy place.

Because you have become desolate and hated, and there was no helper, therefore I will make you a perpetual gladness, a joy of many generations.

And for brass I will bring you gold, and for iron I will bring you silver, and instead of wood I will bring you brass, and instead of stones, iron; and I will make your princes peaceable, and your overseers righteous.

And you shall no more have the sun for a light by day, nor shall the rising of the moon lighten your night; but the Lord shall be your everlasting light, and God your glory.

Your people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, preserving that which they have planted, [even] the works of their hands, for glory.

And I [know] their works and their imagination. I am going to gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see My glory.

And they shall bring your brethren out of all nations for a gift to the Lord with horses, and chariots, in litters [drawn by] mules with awnings, to the holy city Jerusalem, said the Lord, as though the children of Israel should bring their sacrifices to Me with psalms into the house of the Lord.

For as the new heaven and the new earth, which I make, remain before Me, says the Lord, so shall your seed and your name continue.

And at the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be manifest, established on the tops of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and the peoples shall hasten to it.

And many nations shall go, and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and they shall show us His way, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth a law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Thus says the Lord Almighty; Yet shall many peoples come, and the inhabitants of many cities;

And many peoples and many nations shall come to seek earnestly the face of the Lord Almighty in Jerusalem, and to obtain [the] favor of the Lord.

And the Lord shall be king over all the earth. In that day there shall be one Lord, and His name one,

they shall dwell in the city; and there shall be no more curse, and Jerusalem shall dwell securely.

And there shall be in that day a great panic from the Lord upon them; and they shall lay hold every man of the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall be clasped with the hand of his neighbor.

And this shall be the overthrow of the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the beasts that are in those camps, according to this overthrow.

And it shall come to pass, that whichever of all the families of the earth shall not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, even these shall be added to the others.

This shall be the sin of Egypt, and the sin of all the nations, those that shall not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holy to the Lord Almighty, and all that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and shall cook [meat] in them. And in that day there shall be no more Canaanites in the house of the Lord Almighty.

And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could number, out of every nation, and [from] tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, having been clothed in long white robes, with palm branches in their hands.

Then the seventh angel sounded [his] trumpet, and there were great voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of this world has become [the kingdom] of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!"

And he seized the dragon, that serpent of old, who is [the] Devil and Satan, he who deceives the whole world, and he bound him for a thousand years;

And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them, and the souls of those who had been beheaded on account of the testimony of Jesus, and on account of the word of God, and those who had not worshipped the Beast or his image, and they did not receive the mark on their forehead or on their hand. And they came to life and reigned with Christ [for] the thousand years.
