1 Esdras 3
- 1 Now when Darius reigned, he made a great feast unto all his subjects, and unto all his household, and unto all the princes of Media and Persia,
- 2 And to all the governors and captains and lieutenants that were under him, from India unto Ethiopia, of an hundred twenty and seven provinces.
- 3 And when they had eaten and drunken, and being satisfied were gone home, then Darius the king went into his bedchamber, and slept, and soon after awaked.
- 4 Then three young men, that were of the guard that kept the king’s body, spake one to another;
- 5 Let every one of us speak a sentence: he that shall overcome, and whose sentence shall seem wiser than the others, unto him shall the king Darius give great gifts, and great things in token of victory:
- 6 As, to be clothed in purple, to drink in gold, and to sleep upon gold, and a chariot with bridles of gold, and an headtire of fine linen, and a chain about his neck:
- 7 And he shall sit next to Darius because of his wisdom, and shall be called Darius his cousin.
- 8 And then every one wrote his sentence, sealed it, and laid it under king Darius his pillow;
- 9 And said that, when the king is risen, some will give him the writings; and of whose side the king and the three princes of Persia shall judge that his sentence is the wisest, to him shall the victory be given, as was appointed.
- 10 The first wrote, Wine is the strongest.
- 11 The second wrote, The king is strongest.
- 12 The third wrote, Women are strongest: but above all things Truth beareth away the victory.
- 13 Now when the king was risen up, they took their writings, and delivered them unto him, and so he read them:
- 14 And sending forth he called all the princes of Persia and Media, and the governors, and the captains, and the lieutenants, and the chief officers;
- 15 And sat him down in the royal seat of judgment; and the writings were read before them.
- 16 And he said, Call the young men, and they shall declare their own sentences. So they were called, and came in.
- 17 And he said unto them, Declare unto us your mind concerning the writings. Then began the first, who had spoken of the strength of wine;
- 18 And he said thus, O ye men, how exceeding strong is wine! it causeth all men to err that drink it:
- 19 It maketh the mind of the king and of the fatherless child to be all one; of the bondman and of the freeman, of the poor man and of the rich:
- 20 It turneth also every thought into jollity and mirth, so that a man remembereth neither sorrow nor debt:
- 21 And it maketh every heart rich, so that a man remembereth neither king nor governor; and it maketh to speak all things by talents:
- 22 And when they are in their cups, they forget their love both to friends and brethren, and a little after draw out swords:
- 23 But when they are from the wine, they remember not what they have done.
- 24 O ye men, is not wine the strongest, that enforceth to do thus? And when he had so spoken, he held his peace.

King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology and CatchWords, including Apocrypha (without glosses) (kjva - 3.1)
2023-07-19English (en)
This is the King James Version of the Holy Bible (also known as the Authorized Version) with embedded Strong's Numbers. The rights to the base text are held by the Crown of England.
The Strong's numbers in the OT were obtained from The Bible Foundation: http://www.bf.org. The NT Strong's data was obtained from The KJV2003 Project at CrossWire: http://www.crosswire.org. These mechanisms provide a useful means for looking up the exact original language word in a lexicon that is keyed to Strong's numbers.
Special thanks to the volunteers at Bible Foundation for keying the Hebrew/English data and of Project KJV2003 for working toward the completion of synchronizing the English phrases to the Stephanas Textus Receptus, and to Dr. Maurice Robinson for providing the base Greek text with Strong's and Morphology.
We are also appreciative of formatting markup that was provided by Michael Paul Johnson at http://www.ebible.org. Their time and generosity to contribute such for the free use of the Body of Christ is a great blessing and this derivitive work could not have been possible without these efforts of so many individuals.
Version 3.1 incorporates a more recent set of TR data from Dr. Maurice Robinson than was used in all the earlier versions. The TR data was obtained in 2016 from the Greek New Testament sources website
https://sites.google.com/a/wmail.fi/greeknt/home/greeknt
This was integrated into the OSIS source files of an intermediate version 2.9a hosted at
https://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/kjv2011/kjv2.9a/
It is in this spirit that we in turn offer the KJV2003 Project text freely for any purpose.
Any copyright that might be obtained for this effort is held by CrossWire Bible Society © 2003-2023 and CrossWire Bible Society hereby grants a general public license to use this text for any purpose.
