³⁸ If my land cries out against me, and the furrows of it weep together; ³⁹ if I have eaten the fruits of it without money, or have caused the owners of it to lose their lives, ⁴⁰ let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.

²¹ For, behold, LORD comes forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

¹⁰ For as many as are from works of law are under a curse, for it is written, Cursed is every man who does not continue in all things written in the book of the law, to do them.

In toil thou shall eat of it all the days of thy life. ¹⁸ Also, thorns and thistles it shall bring forth to thee, and thou shall eat the herb of the field.

²⁰ and your strength shall be spent in vain, for your land shall not yield its increase, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

³⁶ And as for those who are left of you, I will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies. And the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee as a man flees from the sword, and they shall fall when no man pursues.

²³ And thy sky that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron. ²⁴ LORD will make the rain of thy land powder and dust. From the sky it shall come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

⁶⁵ And among these nations thou shall find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of thy foot, but LORD will give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul. ⁶⁶ And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee, and thou shall fear night and day, and shall have no assurance of thy life.

And they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it. And I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall kill them with the sword.

¹⁷ My God will cast them away because they did not hearken to him, and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

²⁰ For the creation was made subject to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it in hope.

²² He does not believe that he shall return out of darkness. And he is awaited by the sword.

⁹ And the men were scorched with great heat. And the men blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues, and they did not repent to give him glory.

²¹ And great hail, like a talent weight, descended out of the sky upon men. And the men blasphemed God from the plague of the hail, because the plague of it was exceedingly great.

¹⁵ And LORD said to him, Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And LORD appointed a sign for Cain, lest any who finds him should smite him. ¹⁶ And Cain went out from the presence of LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

⁵ And surely your blood, the blood of your lives, I will require. At the hand of every beast I will require it. And at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, I will require the life of man. ⁶ Whoever sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed. For in the image of God he made man.

¹⁷ And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be smitten before your enemies. Those who hate you shall rule over you, and ye shall flee when no man pursues you.

²¹ or in enmity smote him with his hand, so that he died, he who smote him shall surely be put to death. He is a murderer. The avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meets him.

²⁷ and the avenger of blood find him outside the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kills the manslayer, he shall not be guilty of blood,

⁶⁵ And among these nations thou shall find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of thy foot, but LORD will give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul.

⁷ And, behold, the whole family is risen against thy handmaid, and they say, Deliver him who smote his brother that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he killed, and so destroy the heir also. Thus they will quench my coal which is left, and will leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the face of the earth.

²⁰ The wicked man travails with pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor. ²¹ A sound of terrors is in his ears. In prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him. ²² He does not believe that he shall return out of darkness. And he is awaited by the sword. ²³ He wanders abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. ²⁴ Distress and anguish make him afraid. They prevail against him as a king ready to the battle.

¹⁴ And they say to God, Depart from us, for we do not desire the knowledge of thy ways. ¹⁵ What is the Almighty that we should serve him? And what profit should we have, if we pray to him?

¹¹ Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy Spirit from me. ¹² Restore to me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. ¹³ Then I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall be converted to thee. ¹⁴ Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation.

³ For it came to pass through the anger of LORD, in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

⁴¹ Then he will also say to those at the left hand, Depart from me, ye accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his agents.

⁴⁶ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.

⁹ Men who will suffer punishment, a penalty of eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

²⁴ If Cain shall be avenged seven fold, truly Lamech seventy-seven fold.

¹⁸ And if for these things ye will not yet hearken to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.

²¹ And if ye walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

²⁴ then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins.

²⁸ then I will walk contrary to you in wrath, and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.

⁷ And moreover the word of LORD came against Baasha by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of LORD, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he smote him.

¹¹ Kill them not, lest my people forget. Scatter them by thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield,

¹² and render to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached thee, O Lord,

³¹ Yet if he is found, he shall restore sevenfold. He shall give all the substance of his house.

⁴ And LORD said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and who cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst of it.

⁶ Kill utterly the old man, the young man, and the virgin, and little sons, and women, but come not near any man upon whom is the mark. And begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men who were before the house.

⁴ And LORD said to him, Call his name Jezreel, for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.

⁵² Then Jesus says to him, Return thy sword into its place, for all those who take a sword will die by a sword.

⁹ And another agent, a third, followed them, saying in a great voice, If any man worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,

² As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

I planted for me vineyards. ⁵ I made for me gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit. ⁶ I made for me pools of water, to water from there the forest where trees were reared. ⁷ I bought men-servants and maid-servants, and had servants born in my house. I also had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all who were before me in Jerusalem. ⁸ I also gathered for me silver and gold, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces. I got for me men-singers and women-singers, and the luxuries of the sons of men, and a wife and wives. ⁹ So I was great, and increased more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me. ¹⁰ And whatever my eyes desired I kept not from them. I did not withhold my heart from any joy. For my heart rejoiced because of all my labor, and this was my portion from all my labor. ¹¹ Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had labored to do, and, behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

³⁰ The king spoke and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling-place by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?

⁹ By faith he lived alien in the land of promise as a foreigner, having dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the fellow heirs of the same promise.

²⁷ Why did thou flee secretly, and creep away from me, and did not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp,

¹² They sing to the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.

¹² And the harp and the lute, the tambourine and the pipe, and wine, are in their feasts, but they do not regard the work of LORD, nor have they considered the operation of his hands.

⁵ who sing idle songs to the sound of the viol, who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David,

³ And this is the offering which ye shall take of them: gold, and silver, and brass,

²² only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead-

⁹ a land in which thou shall eat bread without scarceness. Thou shall not lack anything in it, a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou may dig copper.

²⁵ Thy bars shall be iron and brass, and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.

¹⁹ We have become as those over whom thou never bore rule, as those who were not called by thy name.

¹⁶ In those days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely. And this is the name whereby she shall be called: LORD our righteousness.

³² And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of LORD shall be saved. For in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as LORD has said, and among the remnant those whom LORD calls.
