Woman Caught In Adultery

John 8

8:1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

8:2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the

people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in

adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

8:4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in

the very act.

8:5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned:

but what sayest thou?

8:6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him.

But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground,

as though he heard them not.

8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said

unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a

stone at her.

8:8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

8:9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience,

went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last:

and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

8:10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he

said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man

condemned thee?

8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I

condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Jer 17

17:1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of

a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the

horns of your altars;

17:2 Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the

green trees upon the high hills.

17:3 O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy

treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy

borders.

17:4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I

gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land

which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger,

which shall burn for ever.

17:5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and

maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

17:6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when

good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the

wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.

17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the

LORD is.

17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth

out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but

her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of

drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked:

who can know it?

17:10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man

according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

17:11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that

getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his

days, and at his end shall be a fool.

17:12 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our

sanctuary.

17:13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed,

and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because

they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
