SWORD AND FAMINE
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, 2 You, neither take a woman nor have sons or daughters in this place: 3 for thus says Yah Veh concerning the sons and concerning the daughters birthed in this place, and concerning their mothers who birth them, and concerning their fathers who birth them in this land: 4 they die deaths of sicknesses; - neither chopped after nor entombed; - as dung on the face of the soil: - finished off by the sword and by famine; and their carcases are meat for the flyers of the heavens and for the animals of the earth. 5 For thus says Yah Veh, Neither enter the house of a feast of mourning, nor go to chop nor wag over them: for I gather my shalom from this people - an oracle of Yah Veh even mercy and mercies. 6 Both the great and the lesser die in this land: neither entombed nor chopped over; neither incise nor balden yourselves for them: 7 neither separate yourselves for them in mourning to sigh over them for the dead; nor drink the cup of consolation for their father or for their mother: 8 nor go into the house of banquets to sit with them to eat and to drink. 9 For thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth, Elohim of Yisra El; Behold, from this place - in your eyes and in your days I shabbathize the voice of rejoicing and the voice of cheerfulness: the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride. 10 And so be it, when you tell this people all these words, and they say to you, Why words Yah Veh all this great evil against us? Yes, what is our perversity? And what sin sinned we against Yah Veh our Elohim? 11 Then you say to them, Because your fathers forsook me - an oracle of Yah Veh and walked after other elohim and served them and prostrated to them - forsook me and not guarded my torah: 12 and in working, you worked vilification above your fathers; for behold, every man of you walks after the warp of his evil heart that they not hearken to me: 13 and I cast you from this land into a land that you know not - you or your fathers; and there you serve other elohim day and night; where I give you no charism. 14 So behold, days come, - an oracle of Yah Veh that it is no more said, Yah Veh lives! - who ascended the sons of Yisra El from the land of Misrayim: 15 but, Yah Veh lives! - who ascended the sons of Yisra El from the land of the north, and from all the lands where he drove them: and I return them to the soil I gave to their fathers. 16 Behold, I send for many fishers; - an oracle of Yah Veh and they fish them: and afterward, I send for many hunters; and they hunt them from every mountain and from every hill and from the holes of the rocks. 17 For my eyes are on all their ways: they neither hide from my face, nor hide their perversity in front of my eyes. 18 And first I shalam double for their perversity and their sin; because they profaned my land - they filled my inheritance with the carcases of their abominations and abhorrences. 19 O Yah Veh, my strength, and my stronghold; and my retreat in the day of tribulation, the goyim come to you from the finalities of the earth, and say, our fathers inherited falsehoods; vanity, wherein no one benefits. 20 Works humanity elohim for himself? They are non-elohim! 21 So behold, at this time I have them know - I have them know my hand and my might; and they know my name is Yah Veh.
