Matthew Chapter 20
20:1For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
20:2And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
20:3And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
20:4And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
20:5Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
20:6And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
20:7They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
20:8So when even was come, the owner of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
20:9And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
20:10But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
20:11And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
20:12Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
20:13But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
20:14Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
20:15Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
20:16So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
20:17And Yahshua going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
20:18Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
20:19And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to impale him: and the third day he shall rise again.
20:20Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
20:21And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
20:22But Yahshua answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
20:23And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
20:24And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
20:25But Yahshua called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
20:26But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
20:27And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
20:28Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
20:29And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
20:30And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Yahshua passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Master, thou Son of David.
20:31And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Master, thou Son of David.
20:32And Yahshua stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
20:33They say unto him, Master, that our eyes may be opened.
20:34So Yahshua had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
20:1For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

Revelation Chapter 20
20:1And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
20:2And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
20:3And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
20:4And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yahshua, and for the word of Yahweh, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Messiah a thousand years.
20:5But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
20:6Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of Elohim and of Messiah, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
20:7And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
20:8And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
20:9And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from Yahweh out of heaven, and devoured them.
20:10And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
20:11And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
20:12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before Elohim; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
20:13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and the grave delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
20:14And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
20:15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
20:1And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

Proverb Chapter 20
20:1Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
20:2The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
20:3It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
20:4The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
20:5Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
20:6Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
20:7The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
20:8A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
20:9Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
20:10Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to Yahweh.
20:11Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.
20:12The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, Yahweh hath made even both of them.
20:13Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
20:14It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.
20:15There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
20:16Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
20:17Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
20:18Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
20:19He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
20:20Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
20:21An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
20:22Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on Yahweh, and he shall save thee.
20:23Divers weights are an abomination unto Yahweh; and a false balance is not good.
20:24Man's goings are of Yahweh; how can a man then understand his own way?
20:25It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.
20:26A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.
20:27The spirit of man is the candle of Yahweh, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
20:28Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.
20:29The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.
20:30The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.

Genesis Chapter 29 & 30
29:1Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
29:2And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's mouth.
29:3And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in his place.
29:4And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
29:5And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
29:6And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
29:7And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
29:8And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
29:9And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.
29:10And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
29:11And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
29:12And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.
29:13And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
29:14And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
29:15And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
29:16And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
29:17Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
29:18And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
29:19And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
29:20And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
29:21And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
29:22And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
29:23And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
29:24And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
29:25And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
29:26And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
29:27Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
29:28And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29:29And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
29:30And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
29:31And when Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
29:32And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely Yahweh hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
29:33And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because Yahweh hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
29:34And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
29:35And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise Yahweh: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
29:1Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
29:2And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's mouth.
29:3And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in his place.
29:4And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
29:5And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
29:6And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
29:7And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
29:8And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
29:9And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.
29:10And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
29:11And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
29:12And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.
29:13And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
29:14And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
29:15And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
29:16And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
29:17Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
29:18And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
29:19And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
29:20And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
29:21And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
29:22And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
29:23And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
29:24And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
29:25And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
29:26And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
29:27Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
29:28And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29:29And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
29:30And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
29:31And when Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
29:32And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely Yahweh hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
29:33And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because Yahweh hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
29:34And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
29:35And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise Yahweh: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
Genesis Chapter 30
30:1And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
30:2And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in Elohim's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
30:3And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
30:4And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
30:5And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
30:6And Rachel said, Elohim hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
30:7And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
30:8And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
30:9When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
30:10And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
30:11And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
30:12And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
30:13And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
30:14And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.
30:15And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's mandrakes.
30:16And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
30:17And Elohim hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
30:18And Leah said, Elohim hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
30:19And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
30:20And Leah said, Elohim hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
30:21And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
30:22And Elohim remembered Rachel, and Elohim hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
30:23And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, Elohim hath taken away my reproach:
30:24And she called his name Joseph; and said, Yahweh shall add to me another son.
30:25And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
30:26Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.
30:27And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that Yahweh hath blessed me for thy sake.
30:28And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
30:29And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.
30:30For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and Yahweh hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
30:31And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock:
30:32I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
30:33So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.
30:34And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
30:35And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
30:36And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
30:37And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
30:38And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
30:39And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
30:40And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.
30:41And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
30:42But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
30:43And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and donkeys.
30:1And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
30:2And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in Elohim's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
30:3And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
30:4And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
30:5And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
30:6And Rachel said, Elohim hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
30:7And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
30:8And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
30:9When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
30:10And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
30:11And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
30:12And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
30:13And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.

30:25And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
30:26Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.
30:27And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that Yahweh hath blessed me for thy sake.
