To whom coming,[ as unto] a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God,[ and] precious,Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for[ things to be made] of gold, and the silver for[ things] of silver, and the brass for[ things] of brass, the iron for[ things] of iron, and wood for[ things] of wood; onyx stones, and[ stones] to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.

For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast,[ saying], This[ is] Zion, whom no man seeketh after.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.

Many[ are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

For these[ things] I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.Zion spreadeth forth her hands,[ and there is] none to comfort her: the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob,[ that] his adversaries[ should be] round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.

In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth[ day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which[ was] as the frame of a city on the south.And he brought me thither, and, behold,[ there was] a man, whose appearance[ was] like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew[ them] unto thee[ art] thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits[ long] by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate,[ which was] one reed broad; and the other threshold[ of the gate, which was] one reed broad.And[ every] little chamber[ was] one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers[ were] five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within[ was] one reed.He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate[ was] inward.And the little chambers of the gate eastward[ were] three on this side, and three on that side; they three[ were] of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits;[ and] the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.The space also before the little chambers[ was] one cubit[ on this side], and the space[ was] one cubit on that side: and the little chambers[ were] six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.He measured then the gate from the roof of[ one] little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth[ was] five and twenty cubits, door against door.He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate.And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate[ were] fifty cubits.And[ there were] narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows[ were] round about inward: and upon[ each] post[ were] palm trees.Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo,[ there were] chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty chambers[ were] upon the pavement.And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates[ was] the lower pavement.Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and northward.And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.And the little chambers thereof[ were] three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof[ was] fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees,[ were] after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof[ were] before them.And the gate of the inner court[ was] over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits.After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures.And[ there were] windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length[ was] fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.And[ there were] seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof[ were] before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.And[ there was] a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and[ there were] windows in it and in the arches thereof round about:[ it was] fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.And the arches round about[ were] five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.And the arches thereof[ were] toward the utter court; and palm trees[ were] upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it[ had] eight steps.And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures.And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof,[ were] according to these measures: and[ there were] windows therein and in the arches thereof round about:[ it was] fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.And the arches thereof[ were] toward the outward court; and palm trees[ were] upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it[ had] eight steps.And he brought me to the north gate, and measured[ it] according to these measures;The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length[ was] fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.And the posts thereof[ were] toward the utter court; and palm trees[ were] upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it[ had] eight steps.And the chambers and the entries thereof[ were] by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.And in the porch of the gate[ were] two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate,[ were] two tables; and on the other side, which[ was] at the porch of the gate,[ were] two tables.Four tables[ were] on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew[ their sacrifices].And the four tables[ were] of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice.

And above the firmament that[ was] over their heads[ was] the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne[ was] the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.

Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God[ is] not among us?

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.Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.Shake thyself from the dust; arise,[ and] sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day[ is] blasphemed.

And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.

And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which[ are] in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

And they saw the God of Israel: and[ there was] under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in[ his] clearness.

Confirming the souls of the disciples,[ and] exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

What shall[ one] then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.

How doth the city sit solitary,[ that was] full of people![ how] is she become as a widow! she[ that was] great among the nations,[ and] princess among the provinces,[ how] is she become tributary!She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears[ are] on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort[ her]: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush[ was] not consumed.

Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:

And thou shalt set in it settings of stones,[ even] four rows of stones:[ the first] row[ shall be] a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle:[ this shall be] the first row.And the second row[ shall be] an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.

And the building of the wall of it was[ of] jasper: and the city[ was] pure gold, like unto clear glass.And the foundations of the wall of the city[ were] garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation[ was] jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.And the twelve gates[ were] twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city[ was] pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones,[ and] hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.

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.[ 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.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?

And they set in it four rows of stones:[ the first] row[ was] a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this[ was] the first row.And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper:[ they were] inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.And the stones[ were] according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names,[ like] the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner[ stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man[ child].And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner[ stone];

And I will give[ power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred[ and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.And their dead bodies[ shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

They have heard that I sigh:[ there is] none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done[ it]: thou wilt bring the day[ that] thou hast called, and they shall be like unto me.

And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next[ day] they lightened the ship;And the third[ day] we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on[ us], all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through[ thee], I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

His hands[ are as] gold rings set with the beryl: his belly[ is as] bright ivory overlaid[ with] sapphires.

Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
