because The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, {because} ye see the thing is gone from me. because Therefore {because} the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. because Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: {because} there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. because O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, {because} I know that the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof. because Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, {because} an excellent spirit [was] in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. because Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, {because} he believed in his God. because I beheld then {because} of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld [even] till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame. because O Lord, righteousness [belongeth] unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, [that are] near, and [that are] far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, {because} of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee. because O Lord, to us [belongeth] confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, {because} we have sinned against thee. because Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that [is] written in the law of Moses the servant of God, {because} we have sinned against him. because O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: {because} for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people [are become] a reproach to all [that are] about us. because And [some] of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make [them] white, [even] to the time of the end: {because} [it is] yet for a time appointed. because Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail {because} of him. Even so, Amen. because Nevertheless I have [somewhat] against thee, {because} thou hast left thy first love. because But I have a few things against thee, {because} thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. because Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, {because} thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. because {Because} thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. because So then {because} thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. because {Because} thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: because And I wept much, {because} no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. because And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, {because} they were made bitter. because And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; {because} these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. because Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; {because} thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. because Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, {because} he knoweth that he hath but a short time. because And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, {because} she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. because And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, {because} thou hast judged thus. because And blasphemed the God of heaven {because} of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. because And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, [every stone] about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God {because} of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. ~~~~~~
