And they opposing, and blaspheming, having shaken off the garments violently, he said to them, Your blood upon your head; I clean: from now will I go to the nations.
Son of man, I gave thee a watchman to the house of Israel: and hear thou the word from my mouth, and admonish them from me. In my saying to the unjust, Dying, thou shalt die; and thou admonished him not, and thou spakest not to admonish the unjust from his way of injustice to preserve him alive; this unjust one shall die in his iniquity, and his blood I will seek from thy hand. And if thou hast admonished the unjust one, and he turned not back from his evil and from his way of injustice; he shall die in his iniquity and thou deliveredst thy soul. read more.
And in the just turning back from his justice and doing evil, and I gave a stumbling-block before his face, he shall die: for thou didst not admonish him, in his sins he shall die, and his justice shall not be remembered which he did; and his blood will I seek from thy hand. And if thou admonishedst the just for the just not to sin, and he sin not, living, he shall live, for he was admonished; and thou didst deliver thy soul.

And whoever should not receive you, nor hear your words, coming out of that house or that city, shake off the cloud of the dust of your feet. Verily I say to you, it shall be more supportable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore discerning as serpents, and pure as doves. read more.
And hold ye from men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their assemblies will they scourge you. And ye shalt be brought before leaders and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations. And when they deliver you up, have no care how or what ye should speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak. For ye yourselves are not speaking, but the spirit of your father speaking in you. And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child: and children shall rise up in revolt against parents, and kill them. And ye shall be hated by all for my name: and he having remained to the end shall be saved. And when they drive you out in this city, flee ye to another; for verily I say to you, Ye shall not finish the cities of Israel till the Son of man come. The disciple is not above the teacher, nor the servant above his lord. Sufficient to the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzeboul, how much more those pertaining to his household? Therefore fear them not; for nothing has been covered, which shall not be revealed; and concealed, that shall not be known. What I say to you in darkness, speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the houses. And fear not from those killing the body, and not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him able to destroy also soul and body in hell. Are not two little sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall to the earth without your Father. And also the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore; ye have the preeminence over many sparrows. Every one therefore who shall agree with me before men, I also will agree with him before my Father, him in the heavens. But whoever should deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father, him in the heavens. Think not that I came to cast peace upon earth; I came not to cast peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the bride against her mother-in-law. And a man's enemies, they pertaining to his household. He loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me; and he loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me. And whoever takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me. He finding his soul shall lose it; and he having lost his soul for my sake shall find it. He receiving you, receives me; and he receiving me, receives him sending me.

Wherefore I testify to you in this day, that I pure from the blood of all. For I concealed not to announce to you all the counsel of God.

And if the watchman shall see the sword coming, and he struck not upon the trumpet, and the people were not warned; and the sword shall come and take a soul from them, he was taken away in his iniquity, and his blood I will seek from the watchman's hand. And thou son of man, I gave thee a watchman to the house of Israel; and thou heardest the word from my mouth, and thou didst warn them from me. In my saying to the, unjust, O unjust one, dying, thou shalt die; and thou spakest not to warn the unjust from his way, that unjust one shall die in his iniquity, and I will seek his blood from thine hand.

Its heart shall be changed from man, and the heart of a beast shall be given to it; and seven times shall pass over him. The word by the decree of the watchers, and the saying of the holy ones is the question: for the reason that the living shall know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and to whom that he will, he will give it, and he will raise up over it the low of men. This dream, I king Nebuchadnezzar saw. And thou Belteshazzar, tell the interpretation, because that all the wise of my kingdom not being able to make known to me the interpretation: and thou art able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee. Then Daniel, his name Belteshazzar, was astonished for one moment, and his thoughts terrified him. The king answered and said, Belteshazzar, the dream and its interpretation shall not terrify thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream to those hating thee, and its interpretation to thine enemies. The tree that thou sawest that increased and was strong, and its height will reach to the heavens, and its sight to all the earth, And its foliage beautiful, and its fruit great, and food for all in it; under it the beast of the open field will dwell, and in its branches the birds of the heavens will dwell: It is thou, O king, who increased and wert strong: and thy greatness increased and reached to the heavens, and thy dominion to the end of the earth. And that the king saw a watcher and a holy one came down from the heavens, and said, Hew down the tree and destroy it; but leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and with a band of iron and brass in the tender grass of the open field; and with the dew of the heavens it shall be wet, and with the beasts of the open field its portion, even till seven times shall pass over him; This the interpretation, O king, and this the decree of the Most High, that came upon my lord the king: And for thee driving from men, and with the beasts of the open field to be thy dwelling, and they shall feed to thee grass as oxen, and wetting to thee from the dew of the heavens, and seven times shall pass over thee till that thou shalt know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and to whom that he will, he will give it And that they said to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom being sure to thee, from when thou shalt know that the heavens rule. Wherefore, O king, my counsel shall be pleasant to thee, and break off thy sins by justice, and thine iniquities in compassionating the poor; if it shall be a lengthening to thy peace.
At that time the sacred scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the diviners, coming in: and I told the dream before them: and its interpretation they making not known to me. And even at last Daniel came up before me, whose name Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and the spirit of the holy gods in him: and before him I told the dream: O Belteshazzar, leader of the sacred scribes, for I knew that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and my secret pressed not upon thee; the visions of my dream that I saw, and its interpretation, say thou. And the visions of my head upon my bed; I was seeing, and lo, a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height great And the tree increased and was strong, and its height will reach to the heavens, and its sight to the end of all the earth: Its foliage beautiful, and its fruit great, and food for all in it: and the beasts of the open field will be shaded under it, the buds of the heavens will dwell in its boughs, and all flesh will be nourished from it I was seeing in the visions of my head upon my bed, and lo, a watcher and holy one came down from the heavens; He called with strength, and thus he said, Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its foliage and scatter its fruit: the beasts shall flee from under it, and the birds from its branches. But leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the open field; and in the dew of the heavens it shall be wet, and its portion with the beasts in the green herb of the earth. Its heart shall be changed from man, and the heart of a beast shall be given to it; and seven times shall pass over him.

They drank wine, and praised to the gods of gold and silver, brass, iron, wood and stone. In the same moment went forth fingers of a man's hand and wrote before the candlestick upon the lime of the wall of the temple of the king: and the king saw the palm of the hand that wrote. The king's brightnesses changing, and his thoughts will terrify him, and the knots of his loins breaking forth, and his knees knocked this upon that read more.
The king called with strength to bring up the enchanters, the Chaldeans and the diviners. The king answered and said to the wise of Babel, Whatever man that shall read this writing, and will show to me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and a necklace of gold upon his neck, and shall rule the third in the kingdom. Then came in all the king's wise ones: and they were not able to read the writing, and to make known the interpretation to the king. Then king Belshazzar being greatly terrified, and his brightnesses being changed upon him, and his nobles being perplexed. The queen, on account of the king's words and his nobles', came in to the house of drinking: the queen answered and said, O king, live forever: thy thought shall not terrify thee, and thy brightnesses shall not be changed: There is a man in thy kingdom that the spirit of the holy gods in him; and in the days of thy father, his light and his understanding and wisdom according to the wisdom of the gods was found in him; and king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king thy father, set him up leader of the sacred scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, the diviners: Because that an excellent spirit and knowledge, and his understanding interpreting dreams, and showing of enigmas, and solving knotty questions, was found in him, in Daniel whom the king set his name Belteshazzar: now Daniel shall be called, and he will show the interpretation. At that time Daniel came in before the king. The king answered and said to Daniel, Is it thou, Daniel, which is from the sons of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought from Judah? I heard concerning thee that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and his light and his understanding and excellent wisdom was found in thee. And now the wise ones, the enchanters, were brought in before me that they shall read this writing, and to make known to me its interpretation: and they were not able to show the interpretation of the word: And I heard concerning thee, that thou wilt be able to interpret interpretations, and solve knotty questions: now if thou shalt be able to read the writing, and to make known to me its interpretation, thou shalt be clothed in purple, and a necklace of gold upon thy neck, and thou shalt rule the third in the kingdom. At that time Daniel answered and said before the king, Thy gifts to be to thyself, and give thy presents to another; but I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation. Thou, O king, God most high gave a kingdom and greatness and honor and splendor to Nebuchadnezzar thy father: And from the greatness that he gave to him, all peoples, nations and tongues, were trembling and fearing from before him: whom he was willing he killed; and whom he was willing, he was saving alive; and whom be was willing, he was setting up; and whom he willed he was humbling. And when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was strong for pride, he was brought down from the throne of his kingdom, and they took away his honor from him. And he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made level with the beasts, and with wild asses his dwelling: they will feed him with the green herb as oxen, and from the dew of the heavens his body will be wet; till that he knew that God the Most High ruled in the kingdom of men, and to whom he will, he will set up over it. And thou his son, O Belshazzar, didst not humble thy heart because that thou knewest all this; And against the Lord of the heavens thou didst lift up thyself; and for the vessels of his house they brought before thee, and thou and thy nobles, and thy wives, and thy concubines, drinking wine in them; and to the gods of silver and gold, brass, iron, wood, and stone, who see not, and hear not, and know not, thou didst praise: and to the God whom thy breath in his hand, and all thy ways to him, thou didst not honor. At that time from before him was sent the palm of the hand, and this writing written. And this the writing that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL and PHARSIN. This the interpretation of the word: Mene; God numbered thy kingdom and completed it. Tekel; Thou shalt be weighed in the balances and be found wanting. Pharsin; Thy kingdom was divided, and it shall be given to the Medes and to Persia. At that time Belshazzar said, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and a necklace of gold upon his neck, and they cried out concerning him, for him to rule the third in the kingdom.

For certain men entered in by stealth, long ago written of beforehand for judgment, irreligious, having changed the grace of our God into licentiousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. And I wish to remind you, ye having once known this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, the second time destroyed them not having believed. Also the angels not having kept their beginning, but having left their own habitation, he has kept in perpetual chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day. read more.

For so thou art tepid, and neither cold nor boiling, I am about to vomit thee out of my month. For thou sayest, That I am rich, and have abounded, and have need of nothing; and thou knowest not that thou art wretched, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked; I counsel thee to buy gold of me refined by fire, that thou mightest be rich; and white garments, that thou mightest be surrounded, and that the shame of thy nakedness might not be made manifest; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve that thou mightest see. read more.
