17And the word of the Lord came to Elias the Thesbite, saying:

18Arise, and go down to meet Achab king of Israel, who is in Samaria: look he is going down to the vineyard of Naboth, to take possession of it:

19And you shall speak to him, saying: Thus says the Lord: You have killed, moreover also you have taken possession. And after these words you shall add: Thus says the Lord: In this place, in which the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, they shall lick your blood also.

20And Achab said to Elias: Have you found me your enemy? He said: I have found you, because you art sold, to do evil before the Lord.

21Look I will bring evil upon you, and I will cut down your posterity, and I will kill of Achab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the last in Israel.

22And I will make your house like the t house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahias: for what you have done, to provoke me to anger, and for making Israel to sin.

23And of Jezabel also the Lord spoke, saying: The dogs shall eat Jezabel in the field of Jezrahel.

24If Achab die in the city, the dogs shall eat him: but if he die in the field, the birds of the air shall eat him.

25Now there was not such another as Achab, who was sold to do evil before the Lord: for his wife Jezabel set him on,

26And he became abominable, insomuch that he followed the idols which the Amorrhites had made, whom the Lord destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.

27And when Achab had heard these words, he rent his clothes, and put haircloth upon his flesh, and fasted and slept in sackcloth, and walked with his head cast down.

28And the word of the Lord came to Elias the Thesbite, saying:

29Have you not seen Achab humbled before me? therefore, because he has humbled himself for my sake, I will not bring the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.

3Have mercy on me, OH God, according to your great mercy. And according to the crowd of your tender mercies blot out my sin.

4Wash me yet more from my sin, and cleanse me from my sin.

43You have heard that it has been said, You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.

44But I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you:

45That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who makes his sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and raineth upon the righteous and the unjust.

46For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? do not even the tax collectors this?

47And if you salute your brothers and sisters only, what do you more? do not also the heathens this?

48Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect.
