 The Word of God                                                              

 We affirm that the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, though written by men, was

 supernaturally inspired by God so that all its words are the written, true revelation of God; it is

 therefore inerrant in the original and authoritive in all matters.  It is to be understood by all through

 the illumination of the Holy Spirit.  "Its meaning is derived by the historical, grammatical, and literal

 interpretation, comparing Scripture with Scripture."  This opens to us the mind of God.  This church

 uses the King James Bible in all public teaching classes and preaching services, because of it's

 faithfulness to the majority text.

 The Godhead                                                                    

 We affirm our belief in one God, infinite spirit, Creator, and sustainer of all things, all powerful,

 all knowing, all present, and eternally existing in three persons: God the Father, God the Son,

 and God the Holy Spirit.  These three are one in essence, but distinct in person and function.

 

( Gen. 1:1 )   ( Deut. 4:35 )  ( Deut. 6:4 )   ( Psalm 100 )   ( Psalm 139 )   ( Isaiah 40:12-31 )                 top


 

 

 The Creator                                                                       

 We affirm that all things were created by God.  Angels were created as ministering agents,

 though some, under the leadership of Satan, fell from their sinless state to become agents

 of evil.  The universe was created in six historical days and is continuously sustained by God;

 thus it both reflects His glory and reveals His truth.  Human beings were directly created, in the

 very image of God, not evolved.  As reasoning moral agents, we are responsible under God for

 understanding and governing ourselves and the world.

 

( Gen. 1:1 )   ( Job 38:1-7 )   ( Jeremiah. 32:17 )   ( Col. 1:16 )   ( Isaiah. 14 )  

( Ezekiel. 28 )   ( Genesis 1:26 )   (Genesis. 2:7 )   (Psalm  8:6 )   ( Hebrews. 4:13 )                           top


  

 

 Jesus Christ                                                                       

 We affirm that the Lord Jesus Christ is the second person of the Trinity.  Eternally begotten

 from the Father, He is God.  He was conceived in the virgin Mary through a miracle of the Holy

 Spirit.  He lives forever as perfect God and perfect man: two distinct natures inseparably united

 in one person.  He was manifested in the flesh when He dwelt among us.  Not only is He the only

 begotten Son of God, but He is the sinless Son of God, and the only supreme sacrifice for our sin.

 

    ( Isaiah 9:6 )   ( John 1:1 )   ( Colossians 1:15-17 )   ( Hebrews 1:8 )                                                                                                                

    ( John 3:16 )   ( 1 Timothy 3:16 )   ( Hebrews 7:24-28 )                                                                        top


 

 

 The Savior                                                                               

 We affirm that Jesus Christ offered Himself as a sacrifice by the appointment of the Father.  He

 fulfilled the demands of God by His obedient life, died on the cross in full substitution and payment

 for the sins of all, was buried, and on the third day, He arose physically and bodily from the dead.

 He ascended into heaven where He now intercedes for all believers.

 

   ( 2 Tim. 1:9 )   ( Rev. 13:8 )   ( John 3:16 )   ( 1 John 4:10 )   ( 2 Cor. 5:21 )   ( 1 Peter 2:24 )  

   ( 1 Peter 3:18 )   ( 1 Cor. 15:1-7 )   ( Rom. 8:27 )    ( Heb. 7:25 )   ( 1 Tim. 2:5 )                                       top    


  

 

 The Holy Spirit                                                                  

 We affirm that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, proceeding from the Father and

 the Son, and equal in deity.  He is the giver of all life, active in the creating and ordering of the

 universe; He is the agent of inspiration and the new birth; He restrains sin and Satan; and He

 indwells and sanctifies all believers.

 

  ( Gen. 1:2 )   ( Job 26:13 )   ( Psalm 104:30 )   ( Psalm 139:7-10 )   ( Matt. 28:19-20 )  

  ( 1 John 5:7-8 )   ( 2 Tim. 3:16 )   ( John 3:5 )   ( John 16:7-9 )   ( John 14:16 )                                          top


 

 

 Holy Living                                                                       

 We affirm that the Holy Spirit indwells all who are born again, conforming them to the likeness

 of Jesus Christ.  This is a process completed only in heaven.  Every believer is responsible

 to live in obedience to the Word of God in separation from sin.

 

   ( John 14:16-17 )   ( 2 Cor. 3:18 )   ( Eph. 4:13 )   ( Phil. 3:12 )   ( Matt. 4:4

   ( 2 Cor. 5:17 )   ( John 14:21 )   ( James 4:4 )                                                                                      top


                                                                                                

 

 Sin                                                                                    

 We affirm that Adam, the first man, willfully disobeyed God, bringing sin and death into the

 world.  As a result, all persons are sinners from conception, which is evidenced in their

 willful acts of sin; and they are therefore subject to eternal punishment, under the just

 condemnation of the holy God.

 

   ( Rom. 5:12 )   ( Psalm 51:5 )   ( Prov. 14:12 )   ( John 3:18 )   ( John 3:36 )   ( Matt. 7:13-14 )                top


 

 

 Salvation                                                                           

 We affirm that each person can be saved only through the work of Jesus Christ; through repentance

 of sin and by faith alone in Him as Savior.  The believer is declared righteous, born again by the

 Holy Spirit, turned from sin, and assured of heaven.

 

( John 1:12 )   ( Acts 4:12 )   ( Acts 13:38-39 )   ( Rom. 3:21-22 )   ( John 3:1-8 )   ( 1 Thess. 1:9-10 )

( 1 Cor. 6:11 )   ( John 5:24 )   ( John 6:37 )   ( John 10:27 )   ( John 14:6 )                                                 top


 

 

 The Church                                                                  

 We affirm that the church is a local assembly of baptized believers, under the discipline of the

 Word of God and the lordship of Christ, organized to carry out the commission to evangelize, to

 teach, and to administer the ordinances of Believers Baptism and the Lord's Table.  Its offices

 are pastors and deacons, and it is self-governing.  It functions through the ministry of gifts given

 by the Holy Spirit to each believer.

 

( Luke 6:13 )   ( Acts 1:15 )   ( Acts 2:41-42 )   ( Eph. 2:20 )   ( Matt. 28:19-20 )   ( Acts 20:28 )  

( 1 Cor. 11:23-28 )   ( 1 Tim. 3:1-13 )   ( 1 Cor. 7:7 )   ( 1 Cor. 12 )   ( Rom. 12 )   ( Eph. 4:11-13 )                   top


 

 

 Last Things                                                                  

 We affirm that the return of Christ for all believers is imminent.  It will be followed by seven years

 of great tribulations, and then the coming of Christ to establish His earthly kingdom for a thousand

 years.  After this the unsaved will then be raised and judged according to their works and separated

 forever from God, in the Lake of Fire.  The saved, having been raised, will live forever in heaven in

 fellowship with God.

 

( Matt. 24:24 )   ( Acts 1:11 )   ( Matt. 24:21 )   ( Dan. 12 )   ( Rev. 6:9 )   ( Rev. 20 )  ( Rev. 21 )                  top

 


                                                                                                                                                                                                  

 

 

                                                                                                                                               

 

 

 

God Bless!

The Word of God

 

Psalm 119   back

1 "Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.  2Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. 3They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.  4Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.  5O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes 6Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.    7I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy      righteous judgments.  8I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.  9Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.  10With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.  11Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.   12Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.   13With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.  14I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.   15I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.  16I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.  17Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.  18Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. 19I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.  20My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.  21Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments. 22Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.  23Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.  24Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.  25My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. 26I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.  27Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.  28My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.  29Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. 30I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.  31I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. 32I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.  33Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.  34Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.  35Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. 36Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. 37Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way. 38Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear. 39Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good. 40Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. 41Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.  42So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. 43And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. 44So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. 45And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. 46I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. 47And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. 48My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. 49Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. 50This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me. 51The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law. 52I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.  53Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.  54Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.  55I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. 56This I had, because I kept thy precepts. 57Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words. 58I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.  59I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. 60I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. 61The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.  62At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments. 63I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.  64The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.  65Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. 66Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. 67Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.  68Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.  69The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.  70Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law. 71It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.  72The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.  73Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. 74They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word. 75I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. 76Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. 77Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.  78Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.   79Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies. 80Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.  81My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.  82Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?  83For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.  84How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?  85The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law. 86All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. 87They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. 88Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. 89For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. 90Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.  91They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants. 92Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. 93I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me. 94I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts. 95The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.  96I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.  97O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. 98Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.  99I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. 101I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. 102I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. 103How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! 104Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. 105Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 106I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.107I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word. 108Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. 09My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. 110The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. 111Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.  112I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end. 113I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. 114Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. 115Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. 116Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. 117Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.  118Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. 119Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.  120My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. 121I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. 122Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. 123Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. 124Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. 125I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. 126It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law. 127Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. 128Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. 129Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.  130The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. 131I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.  132Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. 133Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.  134Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. 135Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. 136Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law. 137Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. 138Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful. 139My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. 140Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. 141I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.  142Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. 143Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.  144The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. 145I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. 146I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. 147I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.  148Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.  149Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment. 150They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.  151Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth. 152Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.   153Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.  154Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.  155Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes. 156Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments. 157Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies. 158I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. 159Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness. 160Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. 161Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. 162I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. 163I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.  164Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. 165Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. 166LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.  167My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly. 168I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee. 169Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word.  170Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word. 171My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.  172My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness. 173Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.  174I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight. 175Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.  176I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments."

Proverbs 6:20-23

Psalm 139

   1"O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.  4For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.  5Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. 6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.  7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?  8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.  9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.  12Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. 13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.  14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.  15My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.  16Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.  17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. 19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. 20For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. 21Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? 22I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.  23Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:  24And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

   12"Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? 13Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him? 14With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding? 15Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. 16And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering. 17All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity. 18To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him? 19The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.  20He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.  21Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?  22It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:  23That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. 24Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.  25To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. 26Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.  27Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God? 28Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.  29He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.  30Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

1"Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 2Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? 3Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.  4Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?  6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?"

Isaiah 14

 1"For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. 2And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors. 3And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, 4That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! 5The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. 6He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.  7The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.  8Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us. 9Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.  10All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? 11Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. 12How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:  14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 16They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 17That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? 18All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. 19But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. 20Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. 21Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. 22For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD. 23I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts. 24The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: 25That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders. 26This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. 27For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? 28In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden. 29Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent. 30And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.  31Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times. 32What 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."

Ezekiel 28

   1"The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 2Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God: 3Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee: 4With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: 5By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:  6Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; 7Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.  8They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.  9Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.  10Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. 11Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 12Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 13Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.  15Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.  18Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.  20Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 21Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,  22And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her. 23For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.  24And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD. 25Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob. 26And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God."
