You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked, You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

The desolations of the enemy have come to an end forever, and You have destroyed the cities; the remembrance of them has perished with them.

Break the arm of the wicked and the evil one; investigate his wickedness, until You find no more.

to vindicate the fatherless and the oppressed, so that the man of the earth may terrify no more.

O God, break their teeth in their mouth; break out the fangs of the young lions, O Jehovah.

O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? Will the enemy blaspheme Your name forever?

Why do You withdraw Your hand, even Your right hand? From your bosom, draw it out of Your bosom and exterminate them.

Arise, O God, plead Your own case; remember the daily reproaches of the fool.

Forget not the voice of Your enemies; the roar of those who rise up against You continually increases.

Then the angel of Jehovah went out and struck a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of Assyria. And when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

And it came to pass as he was bowing down in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword. And they escaped into the land of Ararat; and Esar-Haddon his son reigned in his place.

And he shall plant his palace tents between the seas, in the glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him.

And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died.

The steps of a good man are ordered by Jehovah, and he delights in His way.

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and secured my steps.

He guards the feet of His saints, but the wicked are silent in darkness. For man does not prevail by might.

Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept silent since the world began,

so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.

But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

1 Epistle of JUDAS 0 -the VW-edition name as properly derived from the Greek (Ioudass) Judas, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of Jacob, to those who are called, set apart by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ:

You have examined my heart; You have visited me in the night; You have tried me, and found nothing; I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

shall not God search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.

i1 [To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] i0 par O Jehovah, You have searched me and known me.

But Jehovah said to Samuel, Do not look at his appearance nor at the height of his stature, because I have refused him. For man does not see as He sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but Jehovah looks at the heart.

As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Jehovah searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever.

But, O Jehovah of Hosts, who judges righteously, who tries the mind and the heart, let me see Your vengeance on them. For to You I have laid open my cause.

I Jehovah search the heart, I examine the soul, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

But, O Jehovah of Hosts, who tries the righteous and sees the soul and the heart, let me see Your vengeance on them. For I have made my cause known to You.

And I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the inner thoughts and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
