Statement
of Faith
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.

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.

( 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.

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.

( 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.

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.

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."

Psalm 139
1"O
lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

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."

Isaiah 40:12-31
12"Who

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"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."

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."
