^{10 (46:11)} Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.

^{10 (46:11)} Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth. ^{11 (46:12)} The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.

^{10 (48:11)} According to thy name, O God, so also is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of justice.

^{12 (48:13)} Surround Sion, and encompass her: tell lye in her towers. ^{13 (48:14)} Set your hearts on her strength; and distribute her houses, that ye may relate it in another generation.

³ God shall come manifestly: our God shall come, and shall not keep silence. A fire shall burn before him: and a mighty tempest shall be round about him.

⁶ And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge.

¹⁵ And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

^{5 (53:6)} They have not called upon God: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear. For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.

^{11 (60:13)} Give us help from trouble: for vain is the salvation of man.

¹ Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David. ^(62:2) Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.

^{5 (62:6)} But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.

^{8 (62:9)} Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.

^{12 (68:13)} The king of powers is of the beloved, of the beloved; and the beauty of the house shall divide spoils.

²⁰ How great troubles hast thou shewn me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth:

¹² But God is our king before ages: he hath wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.

^{7 (75:8)} For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up:

⁶⁵ And the Lord was awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that hath been surfeited with wine.

⁶⁸ But he chose the tribe of Juda, mount Sion which he loved. ⁶⁹ And he built his sanctuary as of unicorns, in the land which he founded for ever.

^{5 (83:6)} For they have contrived with one consent: they have made a covenant together against thee, ^{6 (83:7)} The tabernacle of the Edomites, and the Ishmahelites: Moab, and the Agarens, ^{7 (83:8)} Gebal, and Ammon and Amalec: the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre. ^{8 (83:9)} Yea, and the Assyrian also is joined with them: they are come to the aid of the sons of Lot. ^{9 (83:10)} Do to them as thou didst to Madian and to Sisara: as to Jabin at the brook of Cisson. ^{10 (83:11)} Who perished at Endor: and became as dung for the earth. ^{11 (83:12)} Make their princes like Oreb, and Zeb, and Zebee, and Salmana. All their princes, ^{12 (83:13)} Who have said: Let us possess the sanctuary of God for an inheritance. ^{13 (83:14)} O my God, make them like a wheel; and as stubble before the wind. ^{14 (83:15)} As fire which burneth the wood: and as a flame burning mountains: ^{15 (83:16)} So shalt thou pursue them with thy tempest: and shalt trouble them in thy wrath. ^{16 (83:17)} Fill their faces with shame; and they shall seek thy name, O Lord. ^{17 (83:18)} Let them be ashamed and troubled for ever and ever: and let them be confounded and perish. ^{18 (83:19)} And let them know that the Lord is thy name: thou alone art the most High over all the earth.

^{18 (89:19)} For our protection is of the Lord, and of our king the holy one of Israel.

¹ A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.

¹⁵ We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: for the years in which we have seen evils.

¹ The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob. ² He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust. ³ For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word. ⁴ He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust. ⁵ His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night. ⁶ Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil. ⁷ A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee. ⁸ But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked. ⁹ Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge. ¹⁰ There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.

¹⁴ Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name. ¹⁵ He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.

⁸ Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord.

⁸ Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord. ⁹ For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.

¹ A psalm for David himself. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: because he hath done wonderful things. His right hand hath wrought for him salvation, and his arm is holy. ² The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles.

⁹ At the presence of the Lord: because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with equity.

² The lord is great in Sion, and high above all people. ³ Let them give praise to thy great name: for it is terrible and holy:

^{13 (102:14)} Thou shalt arise and have mercy on Sion: for it is time to have mercy on it, for the time is come. ^{14 (102:15)} For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: and they shall have pity on the earth thereof. ^{15 (102:16)} All the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. ^{16 (102:17)} For the Lord hath built up Sion: and he shall be seen in his glory. ^{17 (102:18)} He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: and he hath not despised their petition. ^{18 (102:19)} Let these things be written unto another generation: and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord:

³ Blessed are they that keep judgment, and do justice at all times.

⁴¹ And he helped the poor out of poverty: and made him families like a flock of sheep.

⁵ He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:

¹ Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments. ² His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed. ³ Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

⁵ Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high: ⁶ And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?

¹ Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory. ² For thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake: lest the Gentiles should say: Where is their God?

¹⁶ The right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength: the right hand of the Lord hath exalted me: the right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength.

³⁷ Turn away my eyes that they may not behold vanity: quicken me in thy way.

¹ A gradual canticle. To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven. ² Behold as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters, As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.

¹ A gradual canticle. They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth ² In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.

⁵ May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayst thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

⁴ For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word: ⁵ My soul hath hoped in the Lord. ⁶ From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord. ⁷ Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption. ⁸ And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

^{7 (140:8)} O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: thou hast overshadowed my head in the day of battle.

⁸ Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; for in thee have I hoped. Make the way known to me, wherein I should walk: for I have lifted up my soul to thee.

¹² Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion. ¹³ Because he hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates, he hath blessed thy children within thee. ¹⁴ Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn.

¹⁹ Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel. ²⁰ He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.

¹⁴ The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.

³³ But he that shall hear me, shall rest without terror, and shall enjoy abundance, without fear of evils.

²⁷ The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to decline from the ruin of death.

¹⁶ Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures without content.

¹⁰ The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the just runneth to it, and shall be exalted.

²³ The fear of the Lord is unto life: and he shall abide in the fulness without being visited with evil.

³ By wisdom the house shall be built, and by prudence it shall be strengthened. ⁴ By instruction the storerooms shall be filled with all precious and most beautiful wealth. ⁵ A wise man is strong: and a knowing man, stout and valiant. ⁶ Because war is managed by due ordering: and there shall be safety where there are many counsels. ⁷ Wisdom is too high for a fool; in the gate he shall not open his mouth.

¹ The wicked man fleeth, when no man pursueth: but the just, bold as a lion, shall be without dread. ² For the sins of the land many are the princes thereof: and for the wisdom of a man, and the knowledge of those things that are said, the life of the prince shall be prolonged.

¹⁵ As a roaring lion, and a hungry bear, so is a wicked prince over the poor people. ¹⁶ A prince void of prudence shall oppress many by calumny: but he that hateth covetousness, shall prolong his days.

⁴ A just king setteth up the land: a covetous man shall destroy it.

^{12 (7:13)} For as wisdom is a defence, so money is a defence: but learning and wisdom excel in this, that they give life to him that possesseth them.

^{19 (7:20)} Wisdom hath strengthened the wise more than ten princes of the city.

¹⁴ A little city, and few men in it: there came against it a great king, and invested it, and built bulwarks round about it, and the siege was perfect. ¹⁵ Now there was found in it a man poor and wise, and he delivered the city by his wisdom, and no man afterward remembered that poor man. ¹⁶ And I said that wisdom is better than strength: how then is the wisdom of the poor man slighted, and his words not heard? ¹⁷ The words of the wise are heard in silence, more than the cry of a prince among fools. ¹⁸ Better is wisdom, than weapons of war: and he that shall offend in one, shall lose many good things.

¹ I am the flower of the field, and the lily of the valleys.

¹⁰ My beloved is white and ruddy, chosen out of thousands.

⁷ Your land is desolate, your cities are burnt with fire: your country strangers devour before your face, and it shall be desolate as when wasted by enemies. ⁸ And the daughter of Sion shall be left as a covert in a vineyard, and as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and as a city that is laid waste.

²⁶ And I will restore thy judges as they were before, and thy counsellors as of old. After this thou shalt be called the city of the just, a faithful city. ²⁷ Sion shall be redeemed in judgment, and they shall bring her back in justice.

³¹ And your strength shall be as the ashes of tow, and your work as a spark: and both shall burn together, and there shall be none to quench it.

¹¹ The lofty eyes of man are humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be made to stoop: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

¹³ And upon all the tall and lofty cedars of Libanus, and upon all the oaks of Basan.

¹⁷ And the loftiness of men shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

²¹ And he shall go into the clefts of rocks, and into the holes of stones from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall rise up to strike the earth.

²⁶ And her gates shall lament and mourn, and she shall sit desolate on the ground.

² In that day the bud of the Lord shall be in magnificence and glory, and the fruit of the earth shall be high, and a great joy to them that shall have escaped of Israel. ³ And it shall come to pass, that every one that shall be left in Sion, and that shall remain in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, every one that is written in life in Jerusalem. ⁴ If the Lord shall wash away the filth of the daughters of Sion, and shall wash away the blood of Jerusalem out of the midst thereof, by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

²⁴ Therefore as the tongue of the fire devoureth the stubble, and the heat of the flame consumeth it: so shall their root be as ashes, and their bud shall go up as dust: for they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and have blasphemed the word of the Holy One of Israel.

⁵ And I said: Woe is me, because I have held my peace; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people that hath unclean lips, and I have seen with my eyes the King the Lord of hosts.

² And they told the house of David, saying: Syria hath rested upon Ephraim, and his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the woods are moved with the wind.

⁹ Gather yourselves together, O ye people, and be overcome, and give ear, all ye lands afar off: strengthen yourselves, and be overcome, gird yourselves, and be overcome. ¹⁰ Take counsel together, and it shall be defeated: speak a word, and it shall not be done: because God is with us.

¹⁷ Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men: neither shall he have mercy on their fatherless, and widows: for every one is a hypocrite and wicked, and every mouth hath spoken folly. For all this his indignation is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. ¹⁸ For wickedness is kindled as a fire, it shall devour the brier and the thorn: and shall kindle in the thicket of the forest, and it shall be wrapped up in smoke ascending on high.

⁵ Woe to the Assyrian, he is the rod and the staff of my anger, and my indignation is in their hands. ⁶ I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will give him a charge against the people of my wrath, to take away the spoils, and to lay hold on the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

⁶ I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will give him a charge against the people of my wrath, to take away the spoils, and to lay hold on the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. ⁷ But he shall not take it so, and his heart shall not think so: but his heart shall be set to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few. ⁸ For he shall say: ⁹ Are not my princes as so many kings? is not Calano as Charcamis: and Emath as Arphad? is not Samaria as Damascus?

⁹ Are not my princes as so many kings? is not Calano as Charcamis: and Emath as Arphad? is not Samaria as Damascus? ¹⁰ As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idol, so also their idols of Jerusalem, and of Samaria.

¹⁰ As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idol, so also their idols of Jerusalem, and of Samaria. ¹¹ Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

¹¹ Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols? ¹² And it shall come to pass, that when the Lord shall have performed all his works in mount Sion, and in Jerusalem, I will visit the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of the haughtiness of his eyes.

¹² And it shall come to pass, that when the Lord shall have performed all his works in mount Sion, and in Jerusalem, I will visit the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of the haughtiness of his eyes. ¹³ For he hath said: By the strength of my own hand I have done it, and by my own wisdom I have understood: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have taken the spoils of the princes, and as a mighty man hath pulled down them that sat on high. ¹⁴ And my hand hath found the strength of the people as a nest; and as eggs are gathered, that are left, so have I gathered all the earth: and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or made the least noise.

¹⁶ Therefore the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall send leanness among his fat ones: and under his glory shall be kindled a burning, as it were the burning of a fire.

¹⁶ Therefore the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall send leanness among his fat ones: and under his glory shall be kindled a burning, as it were the burning of a fire. ¹⁷ And the light of Israel shall be as a fire, and the Holy One thereof as a flame: and his thorns and his briers shall be set on fire, and shall be devoured in one day.

¹⁷ And the light of Israel shall be as a fire, and the Holy One thereof as a flame: and his thorns and his briers shall be set on fire, and shall be devoured in one day. ¹⁸ And the glory of his forest, and of his beautiful hill, shall be consumed from the soul even to the flesh, and he shall run away through fear. ¹⁹ And they that remain of the trees of his forest shall be so few, that they shall easily be numbered, and a child shall write them down.

²⁹ They have passed in haste, Gaba is our lodging: Rama was astonished, Gabaath of Saul fled away. ³⁰ Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim, attend, O Laisa, poor Anathoth. ³¹ Medemena is removed: ye inhabitants of Gabim, take courage. ³² It is yet day enough, to remain in Nobe: he shall shake his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Sion, the hill of Jerusalem. ³³ Behold the sovereign Lord of hosts shall break the earthen vessel with terror, and the tall of stature shall be cut down, and the lofty shall be humbled.

³³ Behold the sovereign Lord of hosts shall break the earthen vessel with terror, and the tall of stature shall be cut down, and the lofty shall be humbled. ³⁴ And the thickets of the forest shall be cut down with iron, and Libanus with its high ones shall fall.

² And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him: the spirit of wisdom, and of understanding, the spirit of counsel, and of fortitude, the spirit of knowledge, and of godliness. ³ And he shall be filled with the spirit of the fear of the Lord, He shall not judge according to the sight of the eyes, nor reprove according to the hearing of the ears. ⁴ But he shall judge the poor with justice, and shall reprove with equity the meek of the earth: and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.

⁴ But he shall judge the poor with justice, and shall reprove with equity the meek of the earth: and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked. ⁵ And justice shall be the girdle of his loins: and faith the girdle of his reins.

² Behold, God is my saviour, I will deal confidently, and will not fear: because the Lord is my strength, and my praise, and he is become my salvation.

⁴ And you shall say in that day: Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name: make his works known among the people: remember that his name is high.

⁸ The fir trees also have rejoiced over thee, and the cedars of Libanus, saying: Since thou hast slept, there hath none come up to cut us down.

⁵ And a throne shall be prepared in mercy, and one shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging and seeking judgment and quickly rendering that which is just.

¹² Woe to the multitude of many people, like the multitude of the roaring sea: and the tumult of crowds, like the noise of many waters. ¹³ Nations shall make a noise like the noise of waters overflowing, but he shall rebuke him, and he shall flee far off: and he shall be carried away as the dust of the mountains before the wind, and as a whirlwind before a tempest.

¹³ Nations shall make a noise like the noise of waters overflowing, but he shall rebuke him, and he shall flee far off: and he shall be carried away as the dust of the mountains before the wind, and as a whirlwind before a tempest. ¹⁴ In the time of the evening, behold there shall be trouble: the morning shall come, and he shall not be: this is the portion of them that have wasted us, and the lot of them that spoiled us.

¹⁴ In the time of the evening, behold there shall be trouble: the morning shall come, and he shall not be: this is the portion of them that have wasted us, and the lot of them that spoiled us.

³ All ye inhabitants of the world, who dwell on the earth, when the sign shall be lifted up on the mountains, you shall see, and you shall hear the sound of the trumpet.

² A grievous vision is told me: he that is unfaithful dealeth unfaithfully: and he that is a spoiler, spoileth. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Mede: I have made all the mourning thereof to cease.

¹ Behold the Lord shall lay waste the earth, and shall strip it, and shall afflict the face thereof, and scatter abroad the inhabitants thereof.

⁴ The earth mourned, and faded away, and is weakened: the world faded away, the height of the people of the earth is weakened. ⁵ And the earth is infected by the inhabitants thereof: because they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have broken the everlasting covenant. ⁶ Therefore shall a curse devour the earth, and the inhabitants thereof shall sin: and therefore they that dwell therein shall be mad, and few men shall be left.

¹⁶ From the ends of the earth we have heard praises, the glory of the just one. And I said: My secret to myself, my secret to myself, woe is me: the prevaricators have prevaricated, and with the prevarication of transgressors they have prevaricated.

¹⁹ With breaking shall the earth be broken, with crushing shall the earth be crushed, with trembling shall the earth be moved. ²⁰ With shaking shall the earth be shaken as a drunken man, and shall be removed as the tent of one night: and the iniquity thereof shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again.

⁴ Because thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress: a refuge from the whirlwind, a shadow from the heat. For the blast of the mighty is like a whirlwind beating against a wall.

⁹ And they shall say in that day: Lo, this is our God, we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord, we have patiently waited for him, we shall rejoice and be joyful in his salvation.

¹ In that day shall this canticle be sung in the land of Juda. Sion the city of our strength a saviour, a wall and a bulwark shall be set therein. ² Open ye the gates, and let the just nation, that keepeth the truth, enter in. ³ The old error is passed away: thou wilt keep peace: peace, because we have hoped in thee. ⁴ You have hoped in the Lord for evermore, in the Lord God mighty for ever. ⁵ For he shall bring down them that dwell on high, the high city he shall lay low. He shall bring it down even to the ground, he shall pull it down even to the dust.

⁸ And in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, we have patiently waited for thee: thy name, and thy remembrance are the desire of the soul.

¹⁵ Thou hast been favourable to the nation, O Lord, thou hast been favourable to the nation: art thou glorified? thou hast removed all the ends of the earth far off. ¹⁶ Lord, they have sought after thee in distress, in the tribulation of murmuring thy instruction was with them.

¹⁸ We have conceived, and been as it were in labour, and have brought forth wind: we have not wrought salvation on the earth, therefore the inhabitants of the earth have not fallen.

⁴ There is no indignation in me: who shall make me a thorn and a brier in battle: shall I march against it, shall, I set it on fire together?

⁶ And a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and strength to them that return out of the battle to the gate.

¹¹ For with the speech of lips, and with another tongue he will speak to this people.

¹⁴ Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, who rule over my people that is in Jerusalem. ¹⁵ For you have said: We have entered into a league with death, and we have made a covenant with hell. When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come upon us: for we have placed our hope in lies, and by falsehood we are protected.

¹⁷ And I will set judgment in weight, and justice in measure: and hail shall overturn the hope of falsehood: and waters shall overflow its protection. ¹⁸ And your league with death shall be abolished, and your covenant with hell shall not stand: when the overflowing scourge shall pass, you shall be trodden down by it. ¹⁹ Whensoever it shall pass through, it shall take you away: because in the morning early it shall pass through, in the day and in the night, and vexation alone shall make you understand what you hear. ²⁰ For the bed is straitened, so that one must fall out, and a short covering cannot cover both. ²¹ For the Lord shall stand up as in the mountain of divisions: he shall be angry as in the valley which is in Gabaon: that he may do his work, his strange work: that he may perform his work, his work is strange to him. ²² And now do not mock, lest your bonds be tied strait. For I have heard of the Lord the God of hosts a consumption and a cutting short upon all the earth.

⁵ And the multitude of them that fan thee, shall be like small dust: and as ashes passing away, the multitude of them that have prevailed against thee. ⁶ And it shall be at an instant suddenly. A visitation shall come from the Lord of hosts in thunder, and with earthquake, and with a great noise of whirlwind and tempest; and with the flame of devouring fire.

⁶ And it shall be at an instant suddenly. A visitation shall come from the Lord of hosts in thunder, and with earthquake, and with a great noise of whirlwind and tempest; and with the flame of devouring fire. ⁷ And the multitude of all nations that have fought against Ariel, shall be as the dream of a vision by night, and all that have fought, and besieged and prevailed against it. ⁸ And as he that is hungry dreameth, and eateth, but when he is awake, his soul is empty: and as he that is thirsty dreameth, and drinketh and after he is awake, is yet faint with thirst, and his soul is empty: so shall be the multitude of all the Gentiles, that have fought against mount Sion.

¹³ And the Lord said: Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips glorify me, but their heart is far from me, and they have feared me with the commandment and doctrines of men:

⁸ Now therefore go in and write for them upon box, and note it diligently in a book, and it shall be in the latter days for a testimony for ever. ⁹ For it is a people that provoketh to wrath, and lying children that will not hear the law of God. ¹⁰ Who say to the seers: See not: and to them that behold: Behold not for us those things that are right: speak unto us pleasant things, see errors for us. ¹¹ Take away from me the way, turn away the path from me, let the Holy One of Israel cease from before us.

¹⁷ A thousand men shall flee for fear of one: and for fear of five shall you flee, till you be left as the mast of ship on the top of a mountain, and as an ensign upon a hill. ¹⁸ Therefore the Lord waiteth that he may have mercy on you: and therefore shall he be exalted sparing you: because the Lord is the God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

¹⁸ Therefore the Lord waiteth that he may have mercy on you: and therefore shall he be exalted sparing you: because the Lord is the God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him. ¹⁹ For the people of Sion shall dwell in Jerusalem: weeping thou shalt not weep, he will surely have pity on thee: at the voice of thy cry, as soon as he shall hear, he will answer thee.

²⁶ And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days: in the day when the Lord shall bind up the wound of his people, and shall heal the stroke of their wound. ²⁷ Behold the name of the Lord cometh from afar, his wrath burneth, and is heavy to bear: his lips are filled with indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire. ²⁸ His breath as a torrent overflowing even to the midst of the neck, to destroy the nations unto nothing, and the bridle of error that was in the jaws of the people. ²⁹ You shall have a song as in the night of the sanctified solemnity, and joy of heart, as where one goeth with a pipe, to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the Mighty One of Israel. ³⁰ And the Lord shall make the glory of his voice to be heard, and shall shew the terror of his arm, in the threatening of wrath, and the flame of devouring fire: he shall crush to pieces with whirlwind, and hailstones. ³¹ For at the voice of the Lord the Assyrian shall fear being struck with the rod. ³² And the passage of the rod shall be strongly grounded, which the Lord shall make to rest upon him with timbrels and harps, and in great battles he shall overthrow them. ³³ For Topheth is prepared from yesterday, prepared by the king, deep, and wide. The nourishment thereof is fire and much wood: the breath of the Lord as a torrent of brimstone kindling it.

⁸ And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword not of a man, and the sword not of a man shall devour him, and he shall flee not at the face of the sword, and his young men shall be tributaries. ⁹ And his strength shall pass away with dread, and his princes fleeing shall be afraid: the Lord hath said it, whose fire is in Sion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.

¹ Behold a king shall reign in justice, and princes shall rule in judgment.

¹ Behold a king shall reign in justice, and princes shall rule in judgment. ² And a man shall be as when one is hid from the wind, and hideth himself from a storm, as rivers of waters in drought, and the shadow of a rock that standeth out in a desert land.

¹¹ Be astonished, ye rich women, be troubled, ye confident ones: strip you, and be confounded, gird your loins.

¹⁵ Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high: and the desert shall be as a charmel, and charmel shall be counted for a forest. ¹⁶ An judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and justice shall sit in charmel. ¹⁷ And the work of justice shall be peace, and the service of justice quietness, and security for ever. ¹⁸ And my people shall sit in the beauty of peace, and in the tabernacles of confidence, and in wealthy rest.

¹⁸ And my people shall sit in the beauty of peace, and in the tabernacles of confidence, and in wealthy rest.

¹ Woe to thee that spoilest, shalt not thou thyself also be spoiled? and thou that despisest, shalt not thyself also be despised? when thou shalt have made an end of spoiling, thou shalt be spoiled: when being wearied thou shalt cease to despise, thou shalt be despised.

⁴ And your spoils shall be gathered together as the locusts are gathered, as when the ditches are full of them.

¹⁰ Now will I rise up, saith the Lord: now will I be exalted, now will I lift up myself.

²¹ Because only there our Lord is magnificent: a place of rivers, very broad and spacious streams: no ship with oars shall pass by it, neither shall the great galley pass through it.

²³ Thy tacklings are loosed, and they shall be of no strength: thy mast shall be in such condition, that thou shalt not be able to spread the flag. Then shall the spoils of much prey be divided: the lame shall take the spoil.

⁹ And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the ground thereof into brimstone: and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

² It shall bud forth and blossom, and shall rejoice with joy and praise: the glory of Libanus is given to it: the beauty of Carmel, and Saron, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the beauty of our God.

⁴ Say to the fainthearted: Take courage, and fear not: behold your God will bring the revenge of recompense: God himself will come and will save you.

⁸ And a path and a way shall be there, and it shall be called the holy way: the unclean shall not pass over it, and this shall be unto you a straight way, so that fools shall not err therein.

¹ And it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Ezechias, that Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came up against all the fenced cities of Juda, and took them.

³ And there went out to him Eliacim the son of Helcias, who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and Joahe the son of Asaph the recorder.

²² And Eliacim the son of Helcias, that was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and Joahe the son of Asaph the recorder, went in to Ezechias with their garments rent, and told him the words of Rabsaces.

¹ And it came to pass, when king Ezechias had heard it, that he rent his garments and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord.

¹¹ Behold thou hast heard all that the kings of the Assyrians have done to all countries which they have destroyed, and canst thou be delivered? ¹² Have the gods of the nations delivered them whom my fathers have destroyed, Gozam, and Haram, and Reseph, and the children of Eden, that were in Thalassar? ¹³ Where is the king of Emath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Ana, and of Ava? ¹⁴ And Ezechias took the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it, and went up to the house of the Lord, and Ezechias spread it before the Lord. ¹⁵ And Ezechias prayed to the Lord, saying: ¹⁶ Lord of hosts, God of Israel who sitteth upon the cherubims, thou alone art the God of all the kingdoms of the earth, thou hast made heaven and earth. ¹⁷ Incline, O Lord, thy ear, and hear: open, O Lord, thy eyes, and see, and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he hath sent to blaspheme the living God. ¹⁸ For of a truth, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have laid waste lands, and their countries.

²⁰ And now, O Lord our God, save us out of his hand: and let all the kingdoms of the earth know, that thou only art the Lord.

²³ Whom hast thou reproached, and whom hast thou blasphemed, and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thy eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel. ²⁴ By the hand of thy servants thou hast reproached the Lord: and hast said: With the multitude of my chariots I have gone up to the height of the mountains, to the top of Libanus: and I will cut down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees, and will enter to the top of its height, to the forest of its Carmel.

²⁴ By the hand of thy servants thou hast reproached the Lord: and hast said: With the multitude of my chariots I have gone up to the height of the mountains, to the top of Libanus: and I will cut down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees, and will enter to the top of its height, to the forest of its Carmel. ²⁵ I have digged, and drunk water, and have dried up with the sole of my foot, all the rivers shut up in banks. ²⁶ Hast thou not heard what I have done to him of old? from the days of old I have formed it: and now I have brought it to effect: and it hath come to pass that hills fighting together, and fenced cities should be destroyed. ²⁷ The inhabitants of them were weak of hand, they trembled, and were confounded: they became like the grass of the field, and the herb of the pasture, and like the grass of the housetops, which withered before it was ripe. ²⁸ I know thy dwelling, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me. ²⁹ When thou wast mad against me, thy pride came up to my ears: therefore I will put a ring in thy nose, and a bit between thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.

²⁹ When thou wast mad against me, thy pride came up to my ears: therefore I will put a ring in thy nose, and a bit between thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest. ³⁰ But to thee this shall be a sign: Eat this year the things that spring of themselves, and in the second year eat fruits: but in the third year sow and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. ³¹ And that which shall be saved of the house of Juda, and which is left, shall take root downward, and shall bear fruit upward: ³² For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and salvation from mount Sion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this. ³³ Wherefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a trench about it.

³³ Wherefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a trench about it. ³⁴ By the way that he came, he shall return, and into this city he shall not come, saith the Lord. ³⁵ And I will protect this city, and will save it for my own sake, and for the sake of David my servant. ³⁶ And the angel of the Lord went out and slew in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And they arose in the morning, and behold they were all dead corpses.

³⁶ And the angel of the Lord went out and slew in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And they arose in the morning, and behold they were all dead corpses.

³⁶ And the angel of the Lord went out and slew in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And they arose in the morning, and behold they were all dead corpses. ³⁷ And Sennacherib the king of the Assyrians went out and departed, and returned, and dwelt in Ninive. ³⁸ And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the temple of Nesroch his god, that Adramelech and Sarasar his sons slew him with the sword: and they fled into the land of Ararat, and Asarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

⁵ Go and say to Ezechias: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, and I have seen thy tears: behold I will add to thy days fifteen years: ⁶ And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will protect it.

⁹ The writing of Ezechias king of Juda, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness. ¹⁰ I said: In the midst of my days I shall go to the gates of hell: I sought for the residue of my years. Hell... Sheol, or Hades, the region of the dead. ¹¹ I said: I shall not see the Lord God in the land of the living. I shall behold man no more, nor the inhabitant of rest. ¹² My generation is at an end, and it is rolled away from me, as a shepherd's tent. My life is cut off, as by a weaver: whilst I was yet but beginning, he cut me off: from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me. ¹³ I hoped till morning, as a lion so hath he broken all my bones: from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me. ¹⁴ I will cry like a young swallow, I will meditate like a dove: my eyes are weakened looking upward: Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me. ¹⁵ What shall I say, or what shall he answer for me, whereas he himself hath done it? I will recount to thee all my years in the bitterness of my soul. ¹⁶ O Lord, if man's life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt correct me, and make me to live. ¹⁷ Behold in peace is my bitterness most bitter: but thou hast delivered my soul that it should not perish, thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back. ¹⁸ For hell shall not confess to thee, neither shall death praise thee: nor shall they that go down into the pit, look for thy truth. ¹⁹ The living, the living, he shall give praise to thee, as I do this day: the father shall make the truth known to the children. ²⁰ O Lord, save me, and we will sing our psalms all the days of our life in the house of the Lord. ²¹ Now Isaias had ordered that they should take a lump of figs, and lay it as a plaster upon the wound, and that he should be healed. ²² And Ezechias had said: What shall be the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?

¹⁰ Behold the Lord God shall come with strength, and his arm shall rule: Behold his reward is with him and his work is before him.

¹⁸ I will open rivers in the high hills, and fountains in the midst of the plains: I will turn the desert into pools of waters, and the impassable land into streams of waters.

¹³ The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, as a man of war shall he stir up zeal: he shall shout and cry: he shall prevail against his enemies. ¹⁴ I have always held my peace, I have kept silence, I have been patient, I will speak now as a woman in labour: I will destroy, and swallow up at once.

²² I have blotted out thy iniquities as a cloud, and thy sins as a mist: return to me, for I have redeemed thee.

¹⁸ O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments: thy peace had been as a river, and thy justice as the waves of the sea,

¹ Give ear, ye islands, and hearken, ye people from afar. The Lord hath called me from the womb, from the bowels of my mother he hath been mindful of my name.

¹⁰ They shall not hunger, nor thirst, neither shall the heat nor the sun strike them: for he that is merciful to them, shall be their shepherd, and at the fountains of waters he shall give them drink.

⁶ Lift up your eyes to heaven, and look down to the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish like smoke, and the earth shall be worn away like a garment, and the inhabitants thereof shall perish in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my justice shall not fail.

¹ Arise, arise, put on thy strength, O Sion, put on the garments of thy glory, O Jerusalem, the city of the Holy One: for henceforth the uncircumcised, and unclean shall no more pass through thee.

² Enlarge the place of thy tent, and stretch out the skins of thy tabernacles, spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.

¹¹ O poor little one, tossed with tempest, without all comfort, behold I will lay thy stones in order, and will lay thy foundations with sapphires, ¹² And I will make thy bulwarks of jasper: and thy gates of graven stones, and all thy borders of desirable stones. ¹³ All thy children shall be taught of the Lord: and great shall be the peace of thy children. ¹⁴ And thou shalt be founded in justice: depart far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near thee.

¹ Thus saith the Lord: Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my justice to be revealed. ² Blessed is the man that doth this, and the son of man that shall lay hold on this: that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, that keepeth his hands from doing any evil.

¹⁵ For thus saith the High and the Eminent that inhabiteth eternity: and his name is Holy, who dwelleth in the high and holy place, and with a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

¹⁹ I created the fruit of the lips, peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, said the Lord, and I healed him.

⁸ Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy health shall speedily arise, and thy justice shall go before thy face, and the glory of the Lord shall gather thee up.

⁴ There is none that calleth upon justice, neither is there any one that judgeth truly: but they trust in a mere nothing, and speak vanities: they have conceived labour, and brought forth iniquity.

¹⁶ And he saw that there is not a man: and he stood astonished, because there is none to oppose himself: and his own arm brought salvation to him, and his own justice supported him.

¹⁶ And he saw that there is not a man: and he stood astonished, because there is none to oppose himself: and his own arm brought salvation to him, and his own justice supported him.

¹⁶ And he saw that there is not a man: and he stood astonished, because there is none to oppose himself: and his own arm brought salvation to him, and his own justice supported him. ¹⁷ He put on justice as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head: he put on the garments of vengeance, and was clad with zeal as with a cloak.

¹⁷ He put on justice as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head: he put on the garments of vengeance, and was clad with zeal as with a cloak. ¹⁸ As unto revenge, as it were to repay wrath to his adversaries, and a reward to his enemies: he will repay the like to the islands.

²¹ And thy people shall be all just, they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hand to glorify me.

³ To appoint to the mourners of Sion, and to give them a crown for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, a garment of praise for the spirit of grief: and they shall be called in it the mighty ones of justice, the planting of the Lord to glorify him.

¹¹ For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth her seed to shoot forth: so shall the Lord God make justice to spring forth, and praise before all the nations.

¹⁰ And the plains shall be turned to folds of flocks, and the valley of Achor into a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.

¹ Thus saith the Lord: Heaven is my throne, and the earth my footstool: what is this house that you will build to me? and what is this place of my rest?

¹² For thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring upon her as it were a river of peace, and as an overflowing torrent the glory of the Gentiles, which you shall suck; you shall be carried at the breasts, and upon the knees they shall caress you.

²⁴ And they shall go out, and see the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched: and they shall be a loathsome sight to all flesh.

²⁷ Saying to a stock: Thou art my father: and to a stone: Thou hast begotten me: they have turned their back to me, and not their face: and in the time of their affliction they will say: Arise, and deliver us. ²⁸ Where are the gods, whom thou hast made thee? let them arise and deliver thee in the time of thy affliction: for according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Juda.

²⁰ Destruction upon destruction is called for, and all the earth is laid waste: my tents are destroyed on a sudden, and my pavilions in a moment. ²¹ How long shall I see men fleeing away, how long shall I hear the sound of the trumpet? ²² For my foolish people have not known me: they are foolish and senseless children: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. ²³ I beheld the earth, and lo it was void, and nothing: and the heavens, and there was no light in them. ²⁴ I looked upon the mountains, and behold they trembled: and all the hills were troubled. ²⁵ I beheld, and lo there was no man: and all the birds of the air were gone. ²⁶ I looked, and behold Carmel was a wilderness: and all its cities were destroyed at the presence of the Lord, and at the presence of the wrath of his indignation.

¹⁵ Behold I will bring upon you a nation from afar, O house of Israel, saith the Lord: a strong nation, an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou shalt not know, nor understand what they say.

²⁶ For among my people are found wicked men, that lie in wait as fowlers, setting snares and traps to catch men. ²⁷ As a net is full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit: therefore are they become great and enriched. ²⁸ They are grown gross and fat: and have most wickedly transgressed my words. They have not judged the cause of the widow, they have not managed the cause of the fatherless, and they have not judged the judgment of the poor.

⁸ O expectation of Israel, the Saviour thereof in time of trouble: why wilt thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man turning in to lodge?

¹⁵ Shalt thou reign, because thou comparest thyself to the cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and it was then well with him? ¹⁶ He judged the cause of the poor and needy for his own good: was it not therefore because he knew me, saith the Lord? ¹⁷ But thy eyes and thy heart are set upon covetousness, and upon shedding innocent blood, and upon oppression, and running after evil works.

⁵ Behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will raise up to David a just branch: and a king shall reign, and shall be wise: and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. ⁶ In those days shall Juda be saved, and Israel shall dwell confidently: and this is the name that they shall call him: The Lord our just one.

¹² And when the seventy years shall be expired, I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans: and I will make it perpetual desolations. ¹³ And I will bring upon that land all my words, that I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book, all that Jeremias hath prophesied against all nations: ¹⁴ For they have served them, whereas they were many nations, and great kings: and I will repay them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their hands.

⁶ Behold I will close their wounds and give them health, and I will cure them: and I will reveal to them the prayer of peace and truth. ⁷ And I will bring back the captivity of Juda, and the captivity of Jerusalem: and I will build them as from the beginning. ⁸ And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me: and I will forgive all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and despised me.

¹⁵ But Johanan the son of Caree, spoke to Godolias privately in Masphath, saying: I will go, and I will kill Ismahel the son of Nathanias, and no man shall know it, lest he kill thee, and all the Jews be scattered, that are gathered unto thee, and the remnant of Juda perish. ¹⁶ And Godolias the son of Ahicam said to Johanan the son of Caree: Do not this thing: for what thou sayst of Ismahel is false.

¹⁹ And I will bring Israel again to his habitation: and he shall feed on Carmel, and Bason, and his soul shall be satisfied in mount Ephraim, and Galaad. ²⁰ In those days, and at that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none: and the sin of Juda, and there shall none be found: for I will be merciful to them, whom I shall leave.

⁴ Daleth. The ways of Sion mourn, because there are none that come to the solemn feast: all her gates are broken down; her priests sigh; her virgins are in affliction; and she is oppressed with bitterness.

²³ Heth. They are new every morning, great is thy faithfulness.

²⁵ Teth. The Lord is good to them that hope in him, to the soul that seeketh him. ²⁶ Teth. It is good to wait with silence for the salvation of God.

⁵ For thou art not sent to a people of a profound speech, and of an unknown tongue, but to the house of Israel: ⁶ Nor to many nations of a strange speech, and of an unknown tongue, whose words thou canst not understand: and if thou wert sent to them, they would hearken to thee.

¹⁵ That hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and hath not defiled his neighbour's wife: ¹⁶ And hath not grieved any man, nor withholden the pledge, nor taken away with violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment: ¹⁷ That hath turned away his hand from injuring the poor, hath not taken usury and increase, but hath executed my judgments, and hath walked in my commandments: this man shall not die for the iniquity of his father, but living he shall live.

²⁶ Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the south wind hath broken thee in the heart of the sea. ²⁷ Thy riches, and thy treasures, and thy manifold furniture, thy mariners, and thy pilots, who kept thy goods, and were chief over thy people: thy men of war also, that were in thee, with all thy multitude that is in the midst of thee: shall fall in the heart of the sea in the day of thy ruin. ²⁸ Thy fleets shall be troubled at the sound of the cry of thy pilots. ²⁹ And all that handled the oar shall come down from their ships: the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea shall stand upon the land: ³⁰ And they shall mourn over thee with a loud voice and shall cry bitterly: and they shall cast up dust upon their heads and shall be sprinkled with ashes. ³¹ And they shall shave themselves bald for thee, and shall be girded with haircloth: and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of soul, with most bitter weeping. ³² And they shall take up a mournful song for thee, and shall lament thee: What city is like Tyre, which is become silent in the midst of the sea? ³³ Which by thy merchandise that went from thee by sea didst fill many people: which by the multitude of thy riches, and of thy people didst enrich the kings of the earth. ³⁴ Now thou art destroyed by the sea, thy riches are in the bottom of the waters, and all the multitude that was in the midst of thee is fallen.

³⁵ Its circumference was eighteen thousand: and the name of the city from that day, The Lord is there.

^{27 (3:94)} And the nobles, and the magistrates, and the judges, and the great men of the king, being gathered together, considered these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies, and that not a hair of their head had been singed, nor their garments altered, nor the smell of the fire had passed on them.

^{37 (4:34)} Therefore I, Nabuchodonosor, do now praise, and magnify, and glorify the King of heaven: because all his works are true, and his ways judgments, and them that walk in pride he is able to abase.

²⁵ Then king Darius wrote to all people, tribes, and languages, dwelling in the whole earth: PEACE be multiplied unto you. ²⁶ It is decreed by me, that in all my empire and my kingdom, all men dread and fear the God of Daniel. For he is the living and eternal God for ever: and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his power shall be for ever. ²⁷ He is the deliverer, and saviour, doing signs and wonders in heaven, and in earth: who hath delivered Daniel out of the lions' den.

^{2 (14:3)} Take with you words, and return to the Lord, and say to him: Take away all iniquity, and receive the good: and we will render the calves of our lips.

⁹ They shall enter into the city: they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up the houses, they shall come in at the windows, as a thief.

²⁵ And I will restore to you the years which the locust, and the bruchus, and the mildew, and the palmerworm hath eaten; my great host which I sent upon you.

¹ Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath burnt the bones of the king of Edom even to ashes.

¹ Woe to you that are wealthy in Sion, and to you that have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: ye great men, heads of the people, that go in with state into the house of Israel.

¹⁰ For the slaughter, and for the iniquity against thy brother Jacob, confusion shall cover thee, and thou shalt perish for ever. ¹¹ In the day when thou stoodest against him, when strangers carried away his army captive, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem: thou also wast as one of them. ¹² But thou shalt not look on in the day of thy brother, in the day of his leaving his country: and thou shalt not rejoice over the children of Juda, in the day of their destruction: and thou shalt not magnify thy mouth in the day of distress. ¹³ Neither shalt thou enter into the gate of my people in the day of their ruin: neither shalt thou also look on in his evils in the day of his calamity: and thou shalt not be sent out against his army in the day of his desolation. ¹⁴ Neither shalt thou stand in the crossways to kill them that flee: and thou shalt not shut up them that remain of him in the day of tribulation. ¹⁵ For the day of the Lord is at hand upon all nations: as thou hast done, so shall it be done to thee: he will turn thy reward upon thy own head. ¹⁶ For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so all nations shall drink continually: and they shall drink, and sup up, and they shall be as though they were not.

³ The evil of their hands they call good: the prince requireth, and the judge is for giving: and the great man hath uttered the desire of his soul, and they have troubled it. ⁴ He that is best among them, is as a brier, and he that is righteous, as the thorn of the hedge. The day of thy inspection, thy visitation cometh: now shall be their destruction.

¹⁴ Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy inheritance, them that dwell alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed in Basan and Galaad, according to the days of old.

¹⁸ Who is a God like to thee, who takest away iniquity, and passest by the sin of the remnant of thy inheritance? he will send his fury in no more, because he delighteth in mercy. ¹⁹ He will turn again, and have mercy on us: he will put away our iniquities: and he will cast all our sins into the bottom of the sea.

⁴ He rebuketh the sea and drieth it up: and bringeth all the rivers to be a desert. Basan languisheth and Carmel: and the flower of Libanus fadeth away. ⁵ The mountains tremble at him, and the hills are made desolate: and the earth hath quaked at his presence, and the world, and all that dwell therein. ⁶ Who can stand before the face of his indignation? and who shall resist in the fierceness of his anger? his indignation is poured out like fire: and the rocks are melted by him.

⁶ Who can stand before the face of his indignation? and who shall resist in the fierceness of his anger? his indignation is poured out like fire: and the rocks are melted by him. ⁷ The Lord is good, and giveth strength in the day of trouble: and knoweth them that hope in him. ⁸ But with a flood that passeth by, he will make an utter end of the place thereof: and darkness shall pursue his enemies. ⁹ What do ye devise against the Lord? he will make an utter end: there shall not rise a double affliction. ¹⁰ For as thorns embrace one another: so while they are feasting and drinking together, they shall be consumed as stubble that is fully dry.

⁵ And as wine deceiveth him that drinketh it: so shall the proud man be, and he shall not be honoured: who hath enlarged his desire like hell: and is himself like death, and he is never satisfied: but will gather together unto him all nations, and heap together unto him all people. ⁶ Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a dark speech concerning him: and it shall be said: Woe to him that heapeth together that which is not his own? how long also doth he load himself with thick clay? ⁷ Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee: and they be stirred up that shall tear thee, and thou shalt be a spoil to them? ⁸ Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all that shall be left of the people shall spoil thee: because of men's blood, and for the iniquity of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

¹⁹ The Lord God is my strength: and he will make my feet like the feet of harts: and he the conqueror will lead me upon my high places singing psalms.

⁸ Wherefore expect me, saith the Lord, in the day of my resurrection that is to come, for my judgment is to assemble the Gentiles, and to gather the kingdoms: and to pour upon them my indignation, all my fierce anger: for with the fire of my jealousy shall all the earth be devoured.

¹⁵ The Lord hath taken away thy judgment, he hath turned away thy enemies: the king of Israel, the Lord, is in the midst of thee, thou shalt fear evil no more. ¹⁶ In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: Fear not: to Sion: Let not thy hands be weakened. ¹⁷ The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty, he will save: he will rejoice over thee with gladness, he will be silent in his love, he will be joyful over thee in praise.

⁹ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Sion, shout for joy, O daughter of Jerusalem: BEHOLD THY KING will come to thee, the just and saviour: he is poor, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt, the foal of an ass.

¹⁷ For what is the good thing of him, and what is his beautiful thing, but the corn of the elect, and wine springing forth virgins?

¹ Open thy gates, O Libanus, and let fire devour thy cedars. ² Howl, thou fir tree, for the cedar is fallen, for the mighty are laid waste: howl, ye oaks of Basan, because the fenced forest is cut down. ³ The voice of the howling of the shepherds, because their glory is laid waste: the voice of the roaring of the lions, because the pride of the Jordan is spoiled.

¹ Behold the days of the Lord shall come, and thy spoils shall be divided in the midst of thee. ² And I will gather all nations to Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken, and the houses shall be rifled, and the women shall be defiled: and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the rest of the people shall not be taken away out of the city. ³ Then the Lord shall go forth, and shall fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

⁶ The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace, and in equity, and turned many away from iniquity.

²¹ And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus. For he shall save his people from their sins. ²² Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: ²³ Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

³³ Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.

² For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.

¹⁸ And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

² And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow.

⁸ And if thy hand, or thy foot, scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire.

⁵ Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek and sitting upon an ass and a colt, the foal of her that is used to the yoke.

¹² And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having on a wedding garment? But he was silent.

⁵¹ And shall separate him and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

³⁴ Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

⁴¹ Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared for the devil and his angels.

⁴⁶ And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting.

¹⁵ And said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you? But they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.

^{43 (9:42)} And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire: ^{44 (9:43)} Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished. ^{45 (9:44)} And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter lame into life everlasting than having two feet to be cast into the hell of unquenchable fire: ^{46 (9:45)} Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished. ^{47 (9:46)} And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire: ^{48 (9:47)} Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished. ^{49 (9:48)} For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be salted with salt.

⁶ And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and justifications of the Lord without blame.

¹¹ For, this day is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.

¹² And the publicans also came to be baptized and said to him: Master, what shall we do? ¹³ But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you. ¹⁴ And the soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Do violence to no man, neither calumniate any man; and be content with your pay.

²⁹ And seek not what you shall eat or what you shall drink: and be not lifted up on high. ³⁰ For all these things do the nations of the world seek. But your Father knoweth that you have need of these things. ³¹ But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his justice: and all these things shall be added unto you.

²³ And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom: ²⁴ And he cried and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame. ²⁵ And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted and thou art tormented. ²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you, there is fixed a great chaos: so that they who would pass from hence to you cannot, nor from thence come hither.

² Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God nor regarded man. ³ And there was a certain widow in that city; and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary. ⁴ And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God nor regard man,

⁸ But Zacheus standing, said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wronged any man of any thing, I restore him fourfold.

¹⁴ And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth.

²¹ He that hath my commandments and keepeth them; he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him and will manifest myself to him.

²⁴ Father, I will that where I am, they also whom thou hast given me may be with me: that they may see my glory which thou hast given me, because thou hast loved me before the creation of the world.

⁵ Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. ⁶ And when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded in mind, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue. ⁷ And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying: Behold, are not all these that speak Galilean? ⁸ And how have we heard, every man our own tongue wherein we were born? ⁹ Parthians and Medes and Elamites and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, ¹⁰ Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, ¹¹ Jews also, and proselytes, Cretes, and Arabians: we have heard them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.

⁴ Whilst it remained, did it not remain to thee? And after it was sold, was it not in thy power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.

³¹ Him hath God exalted with his right hand, to be Prince and Saviour. to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins.

² Who said: Ye men, brethren and fathers, hear. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charan.

¹⁸ And when Simon saw that, by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, ¹⁹ Saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I shall lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said to him: ²⁰ Keep thy money to thyself, to perish with thee: because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. ²¹ Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter. For thy heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Do penance therefore for this thy wickedness: and pray to God, that perhaps this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee. ²³ For I see thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity.

¹⁹ And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tacking of the ship.

³⁰ But as the shipmen sought to fly out of the ship, having let down the boat into the sea, under colour, as though they would have cast anchors out of the forepart of the ship, ³¹ Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers: Except these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved. ³² Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat and let her fall off.

⁴⁰ And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, loosing withal the rudder bands. And hoisting up the mainsail to the wind, they made towards shore. ⁴¹ And when we were fallen into a place where two seas met, they run the ship aground. And the forepart indeed, sticking fast, remained unmoveable: but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the sea.

⁷ To them indeed who, according to patience in good work, seek glory and honour and incorruption, eternal life:

²⁶ Through the forbearance of God, for the shewing of his justice in this time: that he himself may be just and the justifier of him who is of the faith of Jesus Christ

²⁶ And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

²⁷ But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise: and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong.

²¹ In the law it is written: In other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people: and neither so will they hear me, saith the Lord.

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort: ⁴ Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we also may be able to comfort them who are in all distress, by the exhortation wherewith we also are exhorted by God.

⁸ For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, of our tribulation which came to us in Asia: that we were pressed out of measure above our strength, so that we were weary even of life. ⁹ But we had in ourselves the answer of death, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead. ¹⁰ Who hath delivered and doth deliver us out of so great dangers: in whom we trust that he will yet also deliver us,

⁴ In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of unbelievers, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine unto them. ⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but Jesus Christ our Lord: and ourselves your servants through Jesus. ⁶ For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Christ Jesus.

¹⁸ While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal: but the things which are not seen, are eternal.

¹⁰ For we must all be manifested before the judgment seat of Christ, that every one may receive the proper things of the body, according as he hath done, whether it be good or evil.

¹⁰ As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing: as needy, yet enriching many: as having nothing and possessing all things.

²⁰ Which he wrought in Christ, raising him up from the dead and setting him on his right hand in the heavenly places. ²¹ Above all principality and power and virtue and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.

¹¹ For which cause be mindful that you, being heretofore gentiles is the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands: ¹² That you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the conversation of Israel and strangers to the testament, having no hope of the promise and without God in this world. ¹³ But now in Christ Jesus, you, who some time were afar off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh: ¹⁵ Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees: that he might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace ¹⁶ And might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, killing the enmities in himself. ¹⁷ And coming, he preached peace to you that were afar off: and peace to them that were nigh. ¹⁸ For by him we have access both in one Spirit to the Father.

¹¹ And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness: but rather reprove them. ¹² For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of. ¹³ But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for all that is made manifest is light.

⁸ In a flame of fire, giving vengeance to them who know not God and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁸ For bodily exercise is profitable to little: but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.

⁶ But godliness with contentment is great gain.

¹¹ Persecutions, afflictions: such as came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra: what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord delivered me.

¹¹ For the grace of God our Saviour hath appeared to all men: ¹² Instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly and justly and godly in this world,

⁴ But when the goodness and kindness of God our Saviour appeared: ⁵ Not by the works of justice which we have done, but according to his mercy, he saved us, by the laver of regeneration and renovation of the Holy Ghost. ⁶ Whom he hath poured forth upon us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour:

⁹ And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation:

¹³ All these died according to faith, not having received the promises but beholding them afar off and saluting them and confessing that they are pilgrims and strangers on the earth. ¹⁴ For they that say these things do signify that they seek a country. ¹⁵ And truly, if they had been mindful of that from whence they came out, they had doubtless, time to return.

²⁹ For our God is a consuming fire.

¹⁵ Then, when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death.

¹² There is one lawgiver and judge, that is able to destroy and to deliver.

⁴ Behold the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which by fraud has been kept back by you, crieth: and the cry of them hath entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.

¹⁴ Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

¹⁴ Having eyes full of adultery and of sin that ceaseth not: alluring unstable souls: having their heart exercised with covetousness: children of malediction. ¹⁵ Leaving the right way, they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam of Bosor who loved the wages of iniquity, ¹⁶ But had a check of his madness, the dumb beast used to the yoke, which, speaking with man's voice, forbade the folly of the prophet.

⁷ But if we walk in the light, as he also is in the light, we have fellowship one with another: And the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. ⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. ⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity.

² Dearly beloved, we are now the sons of God: and it hath not yet appeared what we shall be. We know that when he shall appear we shall be like to him: because we shall see him as he is.

⁷ Little children, let no man deceive you. He that doth justice is just, even as he is just.

¹² He that shall overcome, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God: and he shall go out no more. And I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.

¹⁵ And the kings of the earth and the princes and tribunes and the rich and the strong and every bondman and every freeman hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of mountains: ¹⁶ And they say to the mountains and the rocks: Fall upon us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb. ¹⁷ For the great day of their wrath is come. And who shall be able to stand?

¹⁰ He that shall lead into captivity shall go into captivity: he that shall kill by the sword must be killed by the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

¹⁰ He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mingled with pure wine in the cup of his wrath: and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb.

⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets: and thou hast given them blood to drink. For they are worthy.

¹² And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom: but shall receive power as kings, one hour after the beast. ¹³ These have one design: and their strength and power they shall deliver to the beast. ¹⁴ These shall fight with the Lamb. And the Lamb shall overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings: and they that are with him are called and elect and faithful.

¹⁷ For God hath given into their hearts to do that which pleaseth him: that they give their kingdom to the beast, till the words of God be fulfilled.

² For true and just are his judgments, who hath judged the great harlot which corrupted the earth with her fornication and hath revenged the blood of his servants, at her hands. ³ And again they said: Alleluia. And her smoke ascendeth for ever and ever. ⁴ And the four and twenty ancients and the four living creatures fell down and adored God that sitteth upon the throne, saying: Amen. Alleluia. ⁵ And a voice came out from the throne, saying: Give praise to our God, all ye his servants: and you that fear him, little and great. ⁶ And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of great thunders, saying: Alleluia: for the Lord our God, the Almighty, hath reigned.

¹⁶ And he hath on his garment and on his thigh written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

¹⁰ And the false prophet shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

⁴ And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: and death shall be no more. Nor mourning, nor crying, nor sorrow shall be any more, for the former things are passed away.

² In the midst of the street thereof, and on both sides of the river, was the tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruits every month: the leaves of the tree for the healing of the nations.
