TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The Lord, The God of hosts, is his name.

    6Seek the Lord, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.

    7Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,

    8Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name:

    9That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.

    12For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.

    13Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.

    14Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.

    15Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

    5¶ And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,

    6As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

    7And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?

    8And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

    9But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

    10Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

    11And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

    12But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.

    13And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

    14Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

    15For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

    16And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

    20And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

    21Then let them which are in Judæa flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

    22For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

    23But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

    24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

    25¶ And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

    26Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

    27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

    28And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

    29And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

    30When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.

    31So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

    32Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

    33Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

    34¶ And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

    35For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

    36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
