Hebrews 11:1
Amplified Bible (AMP)
1 NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, [a]the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].

The Beast out of the Sea
1 The dragon[a] stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. 4 People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?"
5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7 It was given power to wage war against God's holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb's book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.[b]
9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.
10 "If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go.
If anyone is to be killed[c] with the sword, with the sword they will be killed."[d] This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God's people.
The Beast out of the Earth
11 Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[e] That number is 666.
1and I saw a beast come up out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads. On its horns were ten royal crowns and on its heads blasphemous names.2The beast which I saw was like a leopard, but with feet like those of a bear and a mouth like the mouth of a lion. To it the dragon gave its power, its throne and great authority.3One of the heads of the beast appeared to have received a fatal wound, but its fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth followed after the beast in amazement.4They worshipped the dragon, because he had given his authority to the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who can fight against it?"5It was given a mouth speaking arrogant blasphemies; and it was given authority to act for forty-two months.6So it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God to insult his name and his Sh'khinah, and those living in heaven;7it was allowed to make war on God's holy people and to defeat them; and it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.8Everyone living on earth will worship it except those whose names are written in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb slaughtered before the world was founded.9Those who have ears, let them hear!10"If anyone is meant for captivity, into captivity he goes! If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he is to be killed!" This is when God's holy people must persevere and trust!11Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. It had two horns like those of a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon.12It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence; and it makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, the one whose fatal wound had been healed.13It performs great miracles, even causing fire to come down from heaven onto the earth as people watch.14It deceives the people living on earth by the miracles it is allowed to perform in the presence of the beast, and it tells them to make an image honoring the beast that was struck by the sword but came alive again.15It was allowed to put breath into the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast could even speak; and it was allowed to cause anyone who would not worship the image of the beast to be put to death.16Also it forces everyone - great and small, rich and poor, free and slave - to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead17preventing anyone from buying or selling unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.18This is where wisdom is needed; those who understand should count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a person, and its number is 666.

Proverbs 18 (Complete Jewish Bible)
1He who separates himself indulges his desires and shows contempt for sound advice of any kind.2A fool takes no pleasure in trying to understand; he only wants to express his own opinion.3When a wicked person comes, contempt comes too, and with disdain, provocation.4The words of a man's mouth are deep water, a gushing torrent, a fountain of wisdom.5It is not good to be partial to the guilty and thus deprive the innocent of justice.6A fool's words get him into fights; yes, his mouth calls out for a beating.7A fool's mouth is his ruin; his words are a trap for him.8A slanderer's words are tasty morsels; they slide right down into the belly.9Whoever is lazy in doing his work is brother to the destroyer.10The name of ADONAI is a strong tower; a righteous person runs to it and is raised high [above danger].11The wealth of the rich is his fortified city, like a high wall, in his own imagination.12Before being ruined, a person's heart is proud; before being honored, a person must be humble.13To answer someone before hearing him out is both stupid and embarrassing.14A person's spirit can sustain him when ill, but a crushed spirit - who can bear it?15The mind of a person with discernment gets knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.16A person's gift clears his way and gives him access to the great.17The first to state his case seems right, till the other one comes and cross-examines.18Casting lots puts an end to strife and separates powerful disputants.19It is harder to win an offended brother than a strong city; their fights are like the bars of a fortress.20A person's belly will be filled with the fruit of his mouth; with what his lips produce he will be filled.21The tongue has power over life and death; those who indulge it must eat its fruit.22He who finds a wife finds a great good; he has won the favor of ADONAI.23The poor man speaks beseechingly, the rich man's answer is blunt.24Some "friends" pretend to be friends, but a true friend sticks closer than a brother.

Hymn #341
To God be the glory,
Great things He has done;
So loved He the world
That He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life
An atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate
That all may go in.
Praise the Lord,
Praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice,
Praise the Lord,
Praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice;
O come to the Father,
Through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory,
Great things He has done.
Great things He has taught us,
Great things He has done;
And great our rejoicing
Through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher,
And greater will be
Our wonder, our transport,
When Jesus we see.
Praise the Lord,
Praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice,
Praise the Lord,
Praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice;
O come to the Father,
Through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory,
Great things He has done.
Praise the Lord,

Let the earth hear His voice,
Praise the Lord,

O come to the Father,
Through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory,
Great things He has done.

Psalm 135 (New International Version)
1 Praise the LORD. [a] Praise the name of the LORD; praise him, you servants of the LORD,
2 you who minister in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.
4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob to be his own, Israel to be his treasured possession.
5 I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods.
6 The LORD does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths.
7 He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.
8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, the firstborn of men and animals.
9 He sent his signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 He struck down many nations and killed mighty kings-
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan and all the kings of Canaan-
12 and he gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to his people Israel.
13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, your renown, O LORD, through all generations.
14 For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
16 They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see;
17 they have ears, but cannot hear, nor is there breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.
19 O house of Israel, praise the LORD; O house of Aaron, praise the LORD;
20 O house of Levi, praise the LORD; you who fear him, praise the LORD.
21 Praise be to the LORD from Zion, to him who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.

16 They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see;
17 they have ears, but cannot hear, nor is there breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.
19 O house of Israel, praise the LORD; O house of Aaron, praise the LORD;

Psalm 135 (Complete Jewish Bible)
1Halleluyah! Give praise to the name of ADONAI! Servants of ADONAI, give praise!2You who stand in the house of ADONAI, in the courtyards of the house of our God,3praise Yah, for ADONAI is good; sing to his name, because it is pleasant.4For Yah chose Ya'akov for himself, Isra'el as his own unique treasure.5I know that ADONAI is great, that our Lord is above all gods.6ADONAI does whatever pleases him, in heaven, on earth, in the seas, in all the depths.7He raises clouds from the ends of the earth, he makes the lightning flash in the rain and brings the wind out from his storehouses.8He struck down Egypt's firstborn, humans and animals alike.9He sent signs and wonders among you, Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his subjects.10He struck many nations, and slaughtered mighty kings11Sichon king of the Emori, 'Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Kena'an.12Then he gave their land as a heritage, to be possessed by Isra'el his people.13ADONAI, your name continues forever, your renown, ADONAI, through all generations.14For ADONAI will vindicate his people, he will take pity on his servants.15The idols of the nations are mere silver and gold, made by human hands.16They have mouths, but they can't speak; they have eyes, but they can't see;17they have ears, but they can't listen; and they have no breath in their mouths;18The people who make them will become like them, along with everyone who trusts in them.19House of Isra'el, bless ADONAI! House of Aharon, bless ADONAI!20House of Levi, bless ADONAI! You who fear ADONAI, bless ADONAI!21Blessed be ADONAI out of Tziyon, he who dwells in Yerushalayim! Halleluyah!
