THE NEW RELATIONSHIP OF YAH VEH WITH YISRA EL
And so be the word of Yah Veh Sabaoth, saying, 2 Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: I am jealous/zealous for Siyon with great jealousy/zeal and I am jealous/zealous for her with great fury. 3 Thus says Yah Veh: I return to Siyon, and tabernacle midst Yeru Shalem: and call Yeru Shalem, The City of Truth; and the mountain of Yah Veh Sabaoth, The Holy Mountain. 4 Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: and eldermen and elderwomen still settle there in the broadways of Yeru Shalem; and every man with his crutch in his hand because of abundance of days: 5 and the broadways of the city fill with boys and girls playing in the broadways. 6 Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: If it is marvellous in the eyes of the survivors of this people in these days, is it not also marvellous in my eyes? - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth. 7 Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: Behold, I am the saviour of my people from the land of the rising and from the land of the entrance of the sun: 8 and I bring them, and they tabernacle midst Yeru Shalem: and they become my people, and I am their Elohim in truth and in justness. 9 Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: Strengthen your hands you, who in these days, hear these words by the mouth of the prophets, of the day of founding the house of Yah Veh Sabaoth, to build the manse. 10 For ere the face of these days there was neither hire for humanity, nor any hire for animal; nor any shalom to him who comes or goes because of the tribulation: for I sent all humanity - every man against his friend. 11 And now I am not to the survivors of this people as in the former days - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth. 12 For the seed has shalom; the vine gives her fruit and the earth gives her produce and the heavens give their dew: and I have the survivors of this people to possess all these. 13 And so be it, as you were an abasement among the goyim, O house of Yah Hudah and house of Yisra El, thus I save you, and you become a blessing: awe not; strengthen your hands. 14 For thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: As I intrigued to vilify you when your fathers enraged me, says Yah Veh Sabaoth, and I sighed not: 15 thus in these days, I return to intrigue and well-please Yeru Shalem and the house of Yah Hudah. Awe not. 16 These are the words you work; Every man of you, word truth to his friend; judge truth and judgment of shalom in your portals: 17 and no man of you fabricate evil in your hearts against his friend; and love no false oath: for all these are those that I hate - an oracle of Yah Veh. 18 And so be the word of Yah Veh Sabaoth to me, saying, 19 Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: The fast of the fourth and the fast of the fifth and the fast of the seventh and the fast of the tenth are for rejoicing and cheerfulness and good seasons; to the house of Yah Hudah: so love truth and shalom. 20 Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: People and settlers of many cities still come: 21 and the settlers of one come to one, saying, We go speedily to stroke the face of Yah Veh and to seek Yah Veh Sabaoth: I go - even I. 22 Yes, many people and mighty goyim come to seek Yah Veh Sabaoth in Yeru Shalem and to stroke the face of Yah Veh. 23 Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: In those days, so be it, ten men from all tongues of the goyim, take hold - even take hold of the wing of a man - a Yah Hudiy, saying, We go with you: for we hear that Elohim is with you.
