VOLUME ONE - CHAPTER 18

He is near that justifies me, let us stand together, come near to me. In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, you shall keep his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall you keep it every man according to his charge.

At his word shall they go out and at his word they shall come in, and the LORD God shall quicken according to the judgments written. Receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity, he keeps the paths of judgment, and preserves the way. Understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity, every good path, and lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment.

The LORD of hosts is exalted in judgment, of the increase of government and peace there is no end upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth, ever, and for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

And in mercy shall the throne be established, and he shall sit upon it in truth judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness. Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. He took counsel, was instructed and taught in the path of judgment, and was taught knowledge, and shown the way of understanding. Why do you say, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

Let the people renew strength, let them come near, and let them speak. Come near together to judgment, I have put my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he has set judgment in the earth. He was taken from prison and from judgment, and who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living, for the transgression of my people was he stricken: No weapon that is formed against him shall prosper, for his righteousness is of me, says the LORD God.

Keep judgment, and do justice, for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. Behold, this day I have raise a righteous Branch, and a King reigns and prospers, and executes judgment and justice in the earth. In this day shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely. I shall seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and strengthen that which was sick. And judgment shall run down as waters and righteousness as a mighty stream, full of power by the spirit of the LORD.

Stand here by me, and I will speak unto you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments. Walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, deal truly; be just, you shall surely live, says the Lord GOD, you shall not die for the iniquity of your fathers, you shall surely live. And I will give you my statutes, and show you my judgments, which if a man does he shall even live in them. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my judgments, and do.
