THE BURDEN OF SOR
The burden of Sor: Howl, you ships of Tarshish; for it is ravaged, so that there is neither house nor entering in: from the land of Kittim it was exposed to them. ² Be still, you settlers of the island; you whom the merchants of Sidon, who, passing over the sea, fulfilled. ³ And by great waters is the seed of Shichor; the harvest of the river is her produce; and she is a merchant of goyim. ⁴ Shame, O Sidon: for the sea says - even the stronghold of the sea says, I neither writhe, nor birth; neither nourish youths, nor raise virgins. ⁵ As at the report concerning Misrayim, they writhe at the report of Sor. ⁶ You, pass over to Tarshish; howl, you settlers of the island. ⁷ Is this your city jumping for joy - whose antiquity is of ancient days? - her own feet bear her afar off to sojourn. ⁸ Who takes this counsel against Sor, the crown - whose merchants are governors? - Whose merchants are the honorable of the earth? ⁹ Yah Veh Sabaoth counsels it to profane the pomp of all splendour and to abase all the honorable of the earth. ¹⁰ Pass through your land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more girdle. ¹¹ He spreads his hand over the sea, he quakes the sovereigndoms: Yah Veh misvahs against Kenaan to desolate the strong holds. ¹² And he says, You, add not to jump for joy, O you oppressed virgin, daughter of Sidon: rise, pass over to Kittim; even there you rest not. ¹³ Behold the land of the Kesediym: this people was not; the Ashshuri founded it for the desert dwellers: they raise the towers; they strip bare the citadels; and he sets it to ruin. ¹⁴ Howl, you ships of Tarshish: for your stronghold is ravaged. ¹⁵ And so be it, in that day, that Sor is forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one sovereign: after the end of seventy years it becomes to Sor as the song of the whore. ¹⁶ Take a harp; go about the city, you forgotten whore: strum well-pleasingly; abound the song; so that they remember you. ¹⁷ And so be it, after the end of seventy years, Yah Veh visits Sor; and she turns to her payoff and whores with all the sovereigndoms of the earth upon the face of the soil: ¹⁸ and her merchandise and her payoff are holy to Yah Veh - neither treasured nor hoarded; for her merchandise is for them settling at the face of Yah Veh - to eat to satiation; and for antique covering.

⁴ And the sons of Yavan: Eli Shah and Tarshish, Kittiym and Dodanim.

²⁴ And ships from the hand of Kittim, humble Ashshur and humble Heber: and he also becomes to eternal destruction.

²⁹ and the border turns to Ramah and to the fortified city Sor; and the border turns to Hosah; and the exits are at the sea from the border boundaries to Achzib;

THE ALLIANCE OF SHELOMOH WITH SOVEREIGN HIRAM
And Hiram sovereign of Sor sends his servants to Shelomoh; for he hears they anointed him sovereign in the stead of his father - for Hiram was all days a lover of David.

²² For the sovereign has at sea the ships of Tarshish with the ships of Hiram: once in three years the ships of Tarshish come, bearing gold and silver, tusks and apes and peacocks.

⁴⁸ Yah Shaphat works ten ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they go not; for the ships break down at Esyon Geber.

THE BURDEN OF MOAB
The burden of Moab: Because in a night Ar of Moab is ravaged and rendered mute; because in a night Qir of Moab is ravaged and rendered mute: ² he ascends to Bayith and to Dibon - to the bamahs, weeping: Moab howls over Nebo and over Medeba - baldness on all their heads - every beard cut off.

⁸ For the cry goes around the borders of Moab - the howling to Eglayim and the howling to Beerelim:

¹² And he says, You, add not to jump for joy, O you oppressed virgin, daughter of Sidon: rise, pass over to Kittim; even there you rest not.

¹⁰ the city of waste breaks down: every house is shut so that no man comes in.

¹⁰ For pass over the islands of Kittim, and see; and send to Qedar, and discern mightily; and see if there be such.

¹⁰ I destroy from them the voice of rejoicing and the voice of cheerfulness; the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; the voice of the millstones and the light of the lamp: ¹¹ and this whole land becomes a parched area and a desolation; and these goyim serve the sovereign of Babel seventy years:

¹⁵ For thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El to me: Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and have all the goyim, to whom I send you, drink:

²² and all the sovereigns of Sor; and all the sovereigns of Sidon; and the sovereigns of the islands beyond the sea;

⁴ because of the day that comes to ravage all the Peleshethiym; and to cut off from Sor and Sidon every survivor who helps: for Yah Veh ravages the Peleshethiym, the survivors of the island of Kaphtor.

THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING SOR
And so be it, in the eleventh year, in the first of the month, the word of Yah Veh is to me, saying, ² Son of humanity, because Sor says against Yeru Shalem, saying, Aha, she is broken - the doors of the people: she turns to me: I am fulfilled; she is parched. ³ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Behold, I am against you, O Sor, and I ascend many goyim against you, as the sea ascends his waves: ⁴ and they ruin the walls of Sor and break down her towers: and I scrape her dust from her and give her as the clearing of a rock. ⁵ and so be it for the spreading of nets midst the sea: I - I have worded - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh and so be it, a plunder to the goyim: ⁶ and her daughters in the field are slaughtered by the sword; and they know I - Yah Veh. ⁷ For thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Behold, I bring on Sor Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel - a sovereign of sovereigns, from the north, with horses and with chariots and with cavalry and congregations and much people. ⁸ He slaughters your daughters with the sword in the field: and he gives a battering tower against you and pours a mound against you and raises the shield against you: ⁹ and he give battering rams against your walls and with his sword he pulls down your towers. ¹⁰ By the throngs of his horses their dust covers you: your walls quake at the voice of the cavalry and of the wheels and of the chariots - when he enters into your portals is as entering into a split city. ¹¹ With the hoofs of his horses he tramples all your outways: he slaughters your people by the sword and lowers your monoliths of strength to the earth. ¹² And they plunder your valuables and plunder your merchandise: and they break down your walls and pull down your pleasant houses: and they set your stones and your timber and your dust midst the water. ¹³ And I shabbathize the roar of your songs and the voice of your harps are heard no more: ¹⁴ and I give you as the clearing of a rock to spread nets on: you are built no more: for I Yah Veh have worded - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. ¹⁵ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh to Sor: Quake not the islands at the voice of your ruin when the pierced shriek? When the slaughter is slaughtered in your midst? ¹⁶ And all the hierarchs of the sea descend from their thrones and turn aside their mantles; they strip their clothes of embroidery and enrobe themselves with trembling; they sit on the earth and tremble in a blink and astonish at you: ¹⁷ and they lift a lamentation for you, and say to you, How you destruct, you settled of the seas; the renowned city - strong in the sea; she and her settlers, who give their terror on all who settle it! ¹⁸ Now the islands tremble in the day of your ruin; yes, the islands in the sea terrify at your departure. ¹⁹ For thus says Adonay Yah Veh: When I give you as a parched city, as the cities not settled; when I ascend the abyss on you and great waters cover you; ²⁰ when I descend you with them descending into the well - to the original people, and settle you in the nethermost of the earth - in the original parched areas with them descending to the well, so that you not settle; and I give splendor in the land of the living. ²¹ I give you as terrors, and you are no more: though you are sought for, yet you are not eternally found again - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

THE WORD OFYAH VEH CONCERNING THE LAMENTATION OF SOR
So be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ² You, son of humanity, lift a lamentation for Sor; ³ and say to Sor, O you who settles at the entry of the sea; a merchant of the people for many islands; Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: O Sor, you - you who say, I am of perfect beauty: ⁴ your borders are in the heart of the seas, your builders perfect your beauty: ⁵ they make all your tables of fir trees of Senir; they take cedars from Lebanon to work your masts; ⁶ from the oaks of Bashan they work your oars; the daughters of the Ashshuriym work your boards of ivory - brought from the islands of Kittim. ⁷ Of white linen with embroidery from Misrayim become your spreadings to become your sail; blue and purple from the islands of Eli Shah becomes your cover; ⁸ the settlers of Sidon and Arvad become your paddlers; your wise, O Sor, become your sailers; ⁹ the elders of Gebal and her wise become your breach holders; all the ships of the sea with their mariners become to pledge your merchandise: ¹⁰ they of Persia and of Lud and of Put become your valiant, your men of war: they hang the buckler and helmet in you; they give forth your majesty. ¹¹ The sons of Arvad with your valiant are on your walls all around and the warriors in your towers: they hang their shields on your walls all around; they perfect your beauty. ¹² Tarshish is your merchant because of the abundance of wealth - with silver, iron, tin, and lead they give in your markets. ¹³ Yavan, Tubal, and Meshech are your merchants: they give the souls of humanity and instruments of copper of your merchandise. ^{Revelation 18:12, 13 14} They of the house of Togarmah give horses and cavalry and mules in your markets. ¹⁵ The sons of Dedan are your merchants; many islands are the merchandise of your hand: for their hire they restore horns of ivory and ebonies. ¹⁶ Aram is your merchant because of the abundance of your works: they give in your markets with emeralds purple and embroidery and bleached linen and coral and rubies. ¹⁷ Yah Hudah, and the land of Yisra El, are your merchants: in your merchandise they give wheat of Minnith and Pannag; and honey and oil and balm. ¹⁸ Dammeseq is your merchant in the abundance of the wares of your making, for the abundance of all wealth; in the wine of Helbon and white wool. ¹⁹ Vedan and Yavan gad about, and in your markets they give bright iron, cassia, and stalks in your merchandise. ²⁰ Dedan is your merchant in clothes of liberation for chariots. ²¹ Arabia and all the hierarchs of Qedar, merchandise in lambs and rams and he goats: these are the merchants of your hand. ²² The merchants of Sheba and Raamah are your merchants: and in your markets they give all head spices, and all esteemed stones, and gold. ²³ Haran, and Kanneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Ashshur, and Kilmad, are your merchants: ²⁴ these are your merchants of splendor in blue robes and embroidery and in chests of rich damasks - bound with cords and of cedar, among your merchandise.

THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING THE EMINENT OF SOR
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ² Son of humanity, say to the eminent of Sor, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because your heart is haughty, and you say, I - El; I sit in the seat of Elohim, in the heart of the seas. - yet you are human, and not El, though you give your heart as the heart of Elohim: ³ behold, you are wiser than Dani El; naught shut up is shaded from you: ⁴ with your wisdom and with your discernment you work valuables for yourself; and work gold and silver into your treasures: ⁵ by your great wisdom and by your merchandise you abound your valuables; and you lift your heart because of your valuables. ⁶ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you give your heart as the heart of Elohim; ⁷ behold, so I bring strangers upon you - the tyrants of the goyim: and they draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and they profane your splendor: ⁸ they bring you down to the pit of ruin and you die the deaths of the pierced in the heart of the seas. ⁹ In saying, say you, I am Elohim! - at the face of him who slays you? you are but human, and not El in the hand of him who slaughters you: ¹⁰ you die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have worded - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. ¹¹
THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING THE SOVEREIGN OF SOR
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ¹² Son of humanity, lift a lamentation on the sovereign of Sor, and say to him, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: You seal the gauge - full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. ¹³ You, were in Eden the garden of Elohim; every esteemed stone, your covering - the sardius, topaz, and the diamond; the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper; the sapphire, the emerald and the carbuncle and gold: the workmanship of your tambourines and of your pipes was prepared in you in the day that you were created. ¹⁴ You, the overspreading cherub who covers; and I gave you on the holy mountain of Elohim; to walk up and down midst the stones of fire. ¹⁵ You, integrious in your ways from the day of your creating, until wickedness was found in you. ¹⁶ By the abundance of your merchandise they filled your midst with violence, and you sinned. So I cast you as profane from the mountain of Elohim: and I destroy you, O covering cherub, from midst the stones of fire: ¹⁷ your heart is haughty because of your beauty; you ruin your wisdom because of your splendor: I cast you to the earth; I give you at the face of sovereigns so that they see you: ¹⁸ you profaned your holies by the abundance of your perversities - by the wickedness of your merchandise; and I bring a fire from your midst to consume you: and I give you to ashes on the earth in the eyes of all who see you. ¹⁹ All among the people who know you astonish at you: you become terrors, and you are not eternal. ²⁰
THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING SIDON
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ²¹ Son of humanity, set your face against Sidon and prophesy against it, ²² and say, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Behold, I am against you, O Sidon; and I am honored in your midst: and they know I - Yah Veh, when I work judgments in her, and am hallowed in her. ²³ And I send her pestilence and blood in her outways; and fell the pierced in her midst by the sword on her all around; and they know I - Yah Veh. ²⁴ And neither is there any more a bitter prickle to the house of Yisra El, nor painful thorn of all who are all around them who despise them; and they know I - Adonay Yah Veh.

³⁰ for the ships of Kittim come against him: so he is dejected and returns; and rages against the holy covenant: thus he works; and returns; and discerns with them concerning them who forsake the holy covenant.

⁴ Yes, and what do you with me, O Sor and Sidon and all the regions of Pelesheth? Deal you me shalam? And if you deal me, I return your dealing swiftly and quickly on your own head; ⁵ because you took my silver and my gold and carried to your manses - my goodly desirables: ⁶ and you sold the sons of Yah Hudah and the sons of Yeru Shalem to the sons of Yavaniy - to remove them far from their border. ⁷ Behold, I waken them from the place you sold them; and return your dealing on your own head: ⁸ and I sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Yah Hudah; and they sell them to the Shebaiym - to a goyim far off: for Yah Veh has worded.

⁹ Thus says Yah Veh: For three rebellions of Sor, and for four, I restore not; because of delivering the complete exiles to Edom and remember not the covenant of brothers: ¹⁰ and I send a fire on the wall of Sor, to consume the citadels.

² and Hamath borders thereby; and Sor and Sidon enwisen mightily: ³ and Sor builds herself a rampart; and heaps silver as the dust and ore as the mire of the outways. ⁴ Behold, Adonay casts her out and smites her valiant in the sea; and fire consumes her:

¹⁷ Because in one hour so vast riches are desolated.
PILOTS, PASSENGERS, AND SAILERS CRY OVER THE FALL OF BABEL
And every pilot and all the homogeneous crowd in sailers and ship crew and as many as work by sea stand from afar; ¹⁸ and seeing the smoke of her firing, they cry, wording, What is like to this megalopolis! ¹⁹ And they cast dust on their heads and cry, weeping and mourning, wording, Woe! Woe that megalopolis, wherein all who had sailers in the sea enriched from her preciousnesses! Because in one hour she desolated.

²² and the voice of citherists and musicians and of flutists and trumpeters are never ever no way still heard in you; and any technician of whatever technique, are never ever no way still found in you; and the voice of a millstone are never ever no way still heard in you; ²³ and the light of a candle are never ever no way still manifested in you; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride are never ever no way still heard in you: because your merchants are the magistrates of the earth; because in your pharmacies all goyim are seduced:

¹⁰ Slacken and know that I - Elohim loft among the goyim - loft in the earth.

THE FIRST AND THE FINAL
Hush in front of me, O islands. The nations change their force: they come near; then they word: we approach judgment together.

⁵ Sit silent, and get into darkness, O daughter of the Kesediym: for they no more call you, The lady of sovereigndoms.

³ and say to Sor, O you who settles at the entry of the sea; a merchant of the people for many islands; Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: O Sor, you - you who say, I am of perfect beauty: ⁴ your borders are in the heart of the seas, your builders perfect your beauty:

⁸ the settlers of Sidon and Arvad become your paddlers; your wise, O Sor, become your sailers; ⁹ the elders of Gebal and her wise become your breach holders; all the ships of the sea with their mariners become to pledge your merchandise: ¹⁰ they of Persia and of Lud and of Put become your valiant, your men of war: they hang the buckler and helmet in you; they give forth your majesty. ¹¹ The sons of Arvad with your valiant are on your walls all around and the warriors in your towers: they hang their shields on your walls all around; they perfect your beauty. ¹² Tarshish is your merchant because of the abundance of wealth - with silver, iron, tin, and lead they give in your markets. ¹³ Yavan, Tubal, and Meshech are your merchants: they give the souls of humanity and instruments of copper of your merchandise. ^{Revelation 18:12, 13 14} They of the house of Togarmah give horses and cavalry and mules in your markets. ¹⁵ The sons of Dedan are your merchants; many islands are the merchandise of your hand: for their hire they restore horns of ivory and ebonies. ¹⁶ Aram is your merchant because of the abundance of your works: they give in your markets with emeralds purple and embroidery and bleached linen and coral and rubies. ¹⁷ Yah Hudah, and the land of Yisra El, are your merchants: in your merchandise they give wheat of Minnith and Pannag; and honey and oil and balm. ¹⁸ Dammeseq is your merchant in the abundance of the wares of your making, for the abundance of all wealth; in the wine of Helbon and white wool. ¹⁹ Vedan and Yavan gad about, and in your markets they give bright iron, cassia, and stalks in your merchandise. ²⁰ Dedan is your merchant in clothes of liberation for chariots. ²¹ Arabia and all the hierarchs of Qedar, merchandise in lambs and rams and he goats: these are the merchants of your hand. ²² The merchants of Sheba and Raamah are your merchants: and in your markets they give all head spices, and all esteemed stones, and gold. ²³ Haran, and Kanneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Ashshur, and Kilmad, are your merchants: ²⁴ these are your merchants of splendor in blue robes and embroidery and in chests of rich damasks - bound with cords and of cedar, among your merchandise. ²⁵ The ships of Tarshish stroll in your merchandise: and fulfill you and mightily honor you in the heart of the seas. ²⁶ Your paddlers bring you into great waters: the east wind breaks you in the heart of the seas: ²⁷ your wealth, and your markets, your merchandise, your mariners, and your sailers, your breach holders, and the pledgers of your merchandise, and all your men of war - in you and in all your congregation among you fall into the heart of the seas in the day of your ruin. ²⁸ The suburbs quake at the voice of the cry of your sailers: ²⁹ and all who manipulate the oar - the mariners and all the sailers of the sea descend from their ships; they stand on the land: ³⁰ and hearken their voice against you and cry bitterly and ascend dust on their heads: they wallow themselves in the ashes: ³¹ and in balding, they balden themselves for you, and gird themselves with saq; and they weep for you with bitterness of soul and bitter chopping: ³² and in their lamentation they lift a lamentation for you and lament over you, What is as Sor - as the severed midst the sea? ³³ In your markets going from the seas, you satisfied many people; you enriched the sovereigns of the earth with the abundance of your wealth and of your merchandise. ³⁴ In the time you are broken by the seas in the depths of the waters your merchandise and all your congregation fall in your midst. ³⁵ All the settlers of the islands astonish at you and their sovereigns shudder with horror - irritated in their face: ³⁶ the merchants among the people hiss at you; you become terrors, and are not eternal.

² Son of humanity, say to the eminent of Sor, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because your heart is haughty, and you say, I - El; I sit in the seat of Elohim, in the heart of the seas. - yet you are human, and not El, though you give your heart as the heart of Elohim:

²⁰ And Yah Veh is in his holy manse: silence at his face, all the earth.

¹⁰ For the land you go to possess is not as the land of Misrayim whence you came - where you seeded your seed and moistened with your foot as a garden of herbs:

⁵ And David congregates all Yisra El from Shichor of Misrayim even to the entering of Hamath; to bring the ark of Elohim from Qiryath Arim.

⁷ the nakednesses by the rivers - by the mouth of the rivers, and every plant by the rivers, withers, disperses, and is not:

⁸ Who takes this counsel against Sor, the crown - whose merchants are governors? - Whose merchants are the honorable of the earth?

²⁰ Blithesome - you who seed beside all waters, who send forth the feet of the ox and the burro.

¹⁸ And now what is it to you in the way of Misrayim to drink the waters of Shichor? Or what is it to you in the way of Ashshur to drink the waters of the river?

³ and say to Sor, O you who settles at the entry of the sea; a merchant of the people for many islands; Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: O Sor, you - you who say, I am of perfect beauty: ⁴ your borders are in the heart of the seas, your builders perfect your beauty: ⁵ they make all your tables of fir trees of Senir; they take cedars from Lebanon to work your masts; ⁶ from the oaks of Bashan they work your oars; the daughters of the Ashshuriym work your boards of ivory - brought from the islands of Kittim. ⁷ Of white linen with embroidery from Misrayim become your spreadings to become your sail; blue and purple from the islands of Eli Shah becomes your cover; ⁸ the settlers of Sidon and Arvad become your paddlers; your wise, O Sor, become your sailers; ⁹ the elders of Gebal and her wise become your breach holders; all the ships of the sea with their mariners become to pledge your merchandise: ¹⁰ they of Persia and of Lud and of Put become your valiant, your men of war: they hang the buckler and helmet in you; they give forth your majesty. ¹¹ The sons of Arvad with your valiant are on your walls all around and the warriors in your towers: they hang their shields on your walls all around; they perfect your beauty. ¹² Tarshish is your merchant because of the abundance of wealth - with silver, iron, tin, and lead they give in your markets. ¹³ Yavan, Tubal, and Meshech are your merchants: they give the souls of humanity and instruments of copper of your merchandise. ^{Revelation 18:12, 13 14} They of the house of Togarmah give horses and cavalry and mules in your markets. ¹⁵ The sons of Dedan are your merchants; many islands are the merchandise of your hand: for their hire they restore horns of ivory and ebonies. ¹⁶ Aram is your merchant because of the abundance of your works: they give in your markets with emeralds purple and embroidery and bleached linen and coral and rubies. ¹⁷ Yah Hudah, and the land of Yisra El, are your merchants: in your merchandise they give wheat of Minnith and Pannag; and honey and oil and balm. ¹⁸ Dammeseq is your merchant in the abundance of the wares of your making, for the abundance of all wealth; in the wine of Helbon and white wool. ¹⁹ Vedan and Yavan gad about, and in your markets they give bright iron, cassia, and stalks in your merchandise. ²⁰ Dedan is your merchant in clothes of liberation for chariots. ²¹ Arabia and all the hierarchs of Qedar, merchandise in lambs and rams and he goats: these are the merchants of your hand. ²² The merchants of Sheba and Raamah are your merchants: and in your markets they give all head spices, and all esteemed stones, and gold. ²³ Haran, and Kanneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Ashshur, and Kilmad, are your merchants:

³³ In your markets going from the seas, you satisfied many people; you enriched the sovereigns of the earth with the abundance of your wealth and of your merchandise.

⁴ with your wisdom and with your discernment you work valuables for yourself; and work gold and silver into your treasures:

⁵ because you took my silver and my gold and carried to your manses - my goodly desirables:

¹¹
MERCHANTS WEEP OVER THE FALL OF BABEL
And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her; because no one markets her wares never more ¹² - the wares of gold and silver and precious stones and of pearls and white linen and purple and silk and scarlet and all incense timber and all vessels of elephantine and all vessels of most precious timber and of copper and iron and marble ¹³ and cinnamon and incense and myrrh and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and grain and animals and sheep and horses and chariots and bodies and souls of humanity.

¹⁵ And Kenaan births Sidon his firstborn firstbirthed and Heth,

¹⁹ And the border of the Kenaaniy is from Sidon, as you come to Gerar, to Azzah; as you go to Sedom and Amorah and Admah and Seboim, to Lesha.

³ At the voice of the stamping of the hoofs of his mighty, at the quake of his chariots, and at the roar of his wheels, the fathers face not the sons for slackness of hands; ⁴ because of the day that comes to ravage all the Peleshethiym; and to cut off from Sor and Sidon every survivor who helps: for Yah Veh ravages the Peleshethiym, the survivors of the island of Kaphtor.

³ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Behold, I am against you, O Sor, and I ascend many goyim against you, as the sea ascends his waves: ⁴ and they ruin the walls of Sor and break down her towers: and I scrape her dust from her and give her as the clearing of a rock. ⁵ and so be it for the spreading of nets midst the sea: I - I have worded - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh and so be it, a plunder to the goyim: ⁶ and her daughters in the field are slaughtered by the sword; and they know I - Yah Veh.

¹¹ Ephrayim is as a fowl their honor flies from the birth and from the belly and from the conception. ¹² Though they nourish their sons, yet I bereave them - without a human: yes also, woe to them when I turn aside from them! ¹³ Ephrayim, as I saw Sor, is transplanted in a habitation of rest: and Ephrayim brings his sons to the slaughterer. ¹⁴ Give them, O Yah Veh! What give you? Give them an aborting womb and dry breasts.

²³ and the light of a candle are never ever no way still manifested in you; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride are never ever no way still heard in you: because your merchants are the magistrates of the earth; because in your pharmacies all goyim are seduced:

¹⁴ The people hear and quiver: pangs take hold on them who settle Pelesheth: ¹⁵ Then the chiliarchs of Edom terrify; the mighty of Moab, trembling, take hold on them; all who settle Kenaan melt away. ¹⁶ Terror and fear fall on them; by the greatness of your arm they become as still as a stone; until your people pass over, O Yah Veh, until the people you chattel pass over.

⁹ and says to the men, I know Yah Veh gives you the land and that your terror befalls us; and that all the settlers of the land melt at your face: ¹⁰ for we hear how Yah Veh withered the water of the Reed sea at your face, in your going from Misrayim; and what you worked to the two sovereigns of the Emoriy on the other side Yarden - Sichon and Og, whom you devoted: ¹¹ we hear and our hearts melt, and no more spirit/wind rises in any man at your face: for Yah Veh your Elohim is Elohim in the heavens above and on the earth below.

¹⁶ In that day, Misrayim becomes as women: and trembles and fears at the face of the waving of the hand which Yah Veh Sabaoth shakes over it.

¹⁵ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh to Sor: Quake not the islands at the voice of your ruin when the pierced shriek? When the slaughter is slaughtered in your midst? ¹⁶ And all the hierarchs of the sea descend from their thrones and turn aside their mantles; they strip their clothes of embroidery and enrobe themselves with trembling; they sit on the earth and tremble in a blink and astonish at you: ¹⁷ and they lift a lamentation for you, and say to you, How you destruct, you settled of the seas; the renowned city - strong in the sea; she and her settlers, who give their terror on all who settle it! ¹⁸ Now the islands tremble in the day of your ruin; yes, the islands in the sea terrify at your departure. ¹⁹ For thus says Adonay Yah Veh: When I give you as a parched city, as the cities not settled; when I ascend the abyss on you and great waters cover you; ²⁰ when I descend you with them descending into the well - to the original people, and settle you in the nethermost of the earth - in the original parched areas with them descending to the well, so that you not settle; and I give splendor in the land of the living. ²¹ I give you as terrors, and you are no more: though you are sought for, yet you are not eternally found again - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

¹⁹ All among the people who know you astonish at you: you become terrors, and you are not eternal.

⁷ So Moab howls for Moab; every one howls: for the foundations of Qir Hareseth you meditate; surely they are stricken.

¹⁵ for they flee from the face of the swords - from the face of the drawn sword and from the face of the bent bow and from the face of the heaviness of war.

¹
THE BURDEN OF SOR
The burden of Sor: Howl, you ships of Tarshish; for it is ravaged, so that there is neither house nor entering in: from the land of Kittim it was exposed to them. ² Be still, you settlers of the island; you whom the merchants of Sidon, who, passing over the sea, fulfilled.

¹⁰ Pass through your land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more girdle.

⁷ I saw servants on horses and governors walking as servants on the earth.

² You, full of clamors, a roaring city, a city jumping for joy: your pierced are neither slain with the sword nor dead in war:

¹³ on the soil of my people thorns and briers ascend; yes, on all the houses of joy in the city of jumping for joy:

¹
THE FALL OF BABEL
Descend, and sit in the dust; O virgin daughter of Babel, sit on the earth; there is no throne, O daughter of the Kesediym: for you add not to be called tender and delicate. ² Take the millstones and grind flour; expose your veil; strip the train; expose the leg; pass over the rivers.

²⁴ - even all goyim say, Why works Yah Veh thus to this land? - this great fuming wrath? ²⁵ Then men say, Because they forsake the covenant of Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers, which he cut with them when he brought them from the land of Misrayim: ²⁶ and they go and serve other elohim and prostrate to them - elohim they never knew and whom he never allotted to them: ²⁷ and Yah Veh kindles his wrath against this land to bring thereon all the abasements inscribed in this scroll: ²⁸ and Yah Veh uproots them from their soil in wrath - in wrath and in great rage and casts them to another land, as this day.

⁸ - for he says, Are not my governors altogether sovereigns?

⁹ And how turn you away the face of one governor of the lesser of the servants of my adoni, and confide on Misrayim for chariots and for cavalry?

⁴⁴ Behold, he ascends as a lion from the pomp of Yarden to the habitation of rest of the perennial: but I, in a blink, run them away from her. And who is chosen? I appoint over her! For who is like me? And who congregates with me? And who is that tender who stands at my face? ⁴⁵ So hear the counsel Yah Veh counsels against Babel; and the fabrications he fabricates against the land of the Kesediym: surely the lesser of the flock drag them out: surely he desolates their habitation of rest with them.

² Son of humanity, say to the eminent of Sor, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because your heart is haughty, and you say, I - El; I sit in the seat of Elohim, in the heart of the seas. - yet you are human, and not El, though you give your heart as the heart of Elohim: ³ behold, you are wiser than Dani El; naught shut up is shaded from you: ⁴ with your wisdom and with your discernment you work valuables for yourself; and work gold and silver into your treasures: ⁵ by your great wisdom and by your merchandise you abound your valuables; and you lift your heart because of your valuables. ⁶ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you give your heart as the heart of Elohim;

¹² Son of humanity, lift a lamentation on the sovereign of Sor, and say to him, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: You seal the gauge - full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. ¹³ You, were in Eden the garden of Elohim; every esteemed stone, your covering - the sardius, topaz, and the diamond; the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper; the sapphire, the emerald and the carbuncle and gold: the workmanship of your tambourines and of your pipes was prepared in you in the day that you were created. ¹⁴ You, the overspreading cherub who covers; and I gave you on the holy mountain of Elohim; to walk up and down midst the stones of fire. ¹⁵ You, integrious in your ways from the day of your creating, until wickedness was found in you. ¹⁶ By the abundance of your merchandise they filled your midst with violence, and you sinned. So I cast you as profane from the mountain of Elohim: and I destroy you, O covering cherub, from midst the stones of fire: ¹⁷ your heart is haughty because of your beauty; you ruin your wisdom because of your splendor: I cast you to the earth; I give you at the face of sovereigns so that they see you: ¹⁸ you profaned your holies by the abundance of your perversities - by the wickedness of your merchandise; and I bring a fire from your midst to consume you: and I give you to ashes on the earth in the eyes of all who see you.

⁸ For this her plagues come in one day - death and mourning and famine; and she utterly burns in fire: because mighty is Yah Veh Elohim who judges her.

²¹ he pours disrespect on volunteers and loosens the girdle of the gatherers;

¹¹ scatter the fury of your wrath; see everyone who is pompous and abase him; ¹² see everyone who is pompous and subdue him; and trample the wicked in their place:

⁴⁰ he pours disrespect on volunteers to stray in the way where there is no way:

¹¹ The lofty eyes of humanity abase, and the haughtiness of men prostrates, and Yah Veh alone is exalted in that day.

¹⁷ and the loftiness of humanity prostrates and the haughtiness of men abases: and Yah Veh alone is exalted in that day.

¹³ So my people are exiled, because they have no knowledge: and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude parched with thirst.

¹⁵ and humanity prostrates and man abases; and the eyes of the lofty abase. ¹⁶ And Yah Veh Sabaoth is lifted in judgment and holy El, hallowed in justness.

¹⁵ The elder and lifted face, he is the head; and the prophet teaching falsehood, he is the tail.

³³ Behold, Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth lops the foliage with violence: and cuts the high ones of height and abases the lofty:

¹¹ And I visit the world for their evil and the wicked for their perversity; and I cause the pomp of the arrogant to shabbathize; and abase the pomp of the tyrant.

²⁴
THE BURDEN OF ASHSHUR
Yah Veh Sabaoth oaths, saying, Surely as I consider, so be it; and as I counsel, so it rises:

²⁷ For Yah Veh Sabaoth counsels, and who breaks it? and his hand spreads, and who turns it back?

¹⁰ telling the end from the beginning, and what formerly was not worked from antiquity, saying, My counsel rises and I work all my delight: ¹¹ calling a swooper from the rising and the man who executes my counsel from a land afar: yes, I word; yes, I bring it; I formed; yes, I also work it.

⁶ Ho, you sword of Yah Veh, how long ere you rest? Gather your sheath; rest and hush. ⁷ How rests it, seeing Yah Veh misvahs against Ashkelon? - and against the sea haven? There he congregates.

⁶² then you say, O Yah Veh, you worded against this place, to cut it off, so that no one becomes a settler therein - neither humanity nor animal, and that it becomes desolate eternally.

³⁷ Now I, Nebukadnets Tsar, laud and exalt and esteem the Sovereign of the heavens all whose acts are truth, and his ways plead: and they who walk in arrogance, he is able to abase.

¹
THE DAY OF YAH VEH
For behold, the day approaches that inflames as an oven; and all the arrogant, yes, and all who work wickedly, become stubble: and the day that approaches burns them, says Yah Veh Sabaoth, that it leaves them neither root nor branch.

²⁸ to do as much as your hand and your counsel predetermined to become.

²⁶ For you see your calling brothers, how that not many wise after the flesh, not many able, not many well-birthed: ²⁷ But Elohim selects the foolish of the cosmos to shame the wise; and Elohim selects the frailties of the cosmos to shame the mighty; ²⁸ and the ignoble of the cosmos and the belittled Elohim selects; yes, and those not being to inactivate those being: ²⁹ so that no flesh boasts in his sight.

¹¹ in whom we also inherit, being pre-determined according to the prothesis of him who energizes all after the counsel of his own will:

¹¹ according to the prothesis of the eons which he made in Messiah Yah Shua our Adonay:

⁶ But he gives greater charism. So he words, Elohim opposes the proud and gives charism to the humble.

²⁰ Then Shaul falls hastily the fulness of his stature along on the earth - mightily awed because of the words of Shemu El: and there is no force in him; for he had eaten no bread all day or all night.

³² El girts me with valour and gives my way integrious;

¹⁴ Howl, you ships of Tarshish: for your stronghold is ravaged.

⁶ all majesty departs from the daughter of Siyon; her governors become as harts finding no pasture - gone without force from the face of the pursuer.

²² and I overturn the throne of sovereigndoms; and I desolate the strength of the sovereigndoms of the goyim; and I overturn the chariots and their riders: and the horses and their riders topple - every man by the sword of his brother.

⁶ For in our frailty, in season, Messiah died for the irreverent.

²⁵ and he says, Curse Kenaan; he becomes a servant of servants to his brethren.

¹⁵ And Kenaan births Sidon his firstborn firstbirthed and Heth, ¹⁶ and the Yebusiy and the Emoriy and the Girgashiy ¹⁷ and the Hivviy and the Arqiy and the Siniy ¹⁸ and the Arvadiy and the Semariy and the Hamathiy: and afterward the families of the Kenaaniy scatter. ¹⁹ And the border of the Kenaaniy is from Sidon, as you come to Gerar, to Azzah; as you go to Sedom and Amorah and Admah and Seboim, to Lesha.

²¹ And Mosheh spreads his hand over the sea; and Yah Veh turns back the sea by a strong east wind all that night and parches the sea and splits the waters.

⁸ And with the spirit/wind of your nostrils the waters heap: the flows stand upright as a heap and the abysses curdle in the heart of the sea. ⁹ The enemy says, I pursue! I overtake! I allot the loot! My soul is filled of them: I draw my sword; my hand dispossesses them. ¹⁰ You puff your spirit/wind; the sea covers them: they sink as lead in the mighty waters.

⁶ The goyim roar; the sovereigndoms totter: he gives his voice: the earth melts.

³ be my rock - my habitation; to resort continually therein: you misvahed to save me; for you are my rock and my stronghold.

¹⁹ and they go into the caves of the rocks and into the caves of the dust - at the face of fear of Yah Veh and for the majesty of his pomp when he rises to terrify the earth.

⁶ I send him against a goyim of profaners and against the people of my wrath; I misvah him to take the spoil and to plunder the plunder; and to set them for trampling as the heap of the outways:

¹⁶ They who see you peer at you, discerning, Is this the man who quakes the earth? Who quakes sovereigndoms? ¹⁷ Who sets the world as a wilderness? And demolishes the cities? Who opens not the house of his bound?

³ And by great waters is the seed of Shichor; the harvest of the river is her produce; and she is a merchant of goyim.

² For of a city, you set a heap; of a fortified city, a ruin; a citadel of strangers, no city - not built eternally.

⁷ How rests it, seeing Yah Veh misvahs against Ashkelon? - and against the sea haven? There he congregates.

¹⁰ By the throngs of his horses their dust covers you: your walls quake at the voice of the cavalry and of the wheels and of the chariots - when he enters into your portals is as entering into a split city.

¹⁵ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh to Sor: Quake not the islands at the voice of your ruin when the pierced shriek? When the slaughter is slaughtered in your midst? ¹⁶ And all the hierarchs of the sea descend from their thrones and turn aside their mantles; they strip their clothes of embroidery and enrobe themselves with trembling; they sit on the earth and tremble in a blink and astonish at you: ¹⁷ and they lift a lamentation for you, and say to you, How you destruct, you settled of the seas; the renowned city - strong in the sea; she and her settlers, who give their terror on all who settle it! ¹⁸ Now the islands tremble in the day of your ruin; yes, the islands in the sea terrify at your departure. ¹⁹ For thus says Adonay Yah Veh: When I give you as a parched city, as the cities not settled; when I ascend the abyss on you and great waters cover you;

³⁴ In the time you are broken by the seas in the depths of the waters your merchandise and all your congregation fall in your midst. ³⁵ All the settlers of the islands astonish at you and their sovereigns shudder with horror - irritated in their face:

¹⁶ I quake the goyim at the voice of his ruin when I bring him down to sheol with them who descend into the well: and all the trees of Eden - the choice and best of Lebanon - all who drink water sigh in the nethermost of the earth:

⁷ Kenaan - the balances of deceit are in his hand; he loves to oppress: ⁸ and Ephrayim says, Surely I enrich: I find my strength in all my labors they find no one perversity in me - sin.

¹⁴ and Yah Veh misvahs concerning you, that your name is seeded no more: from the house of your elohim I cut off the sculptile and the molten: I set your tomb; for you are abased.

⁷ and I quake all goyim and the desire of all goyim approaches: and I fill this house with honor, says Yah Veh Sabaoth.

²¹ and so be every caldron in Yeru Shalem and in Yah Hudah - holy to Yah Veh Sabaoth: and all who sacrifice come and take thereof, and stew therein: and in that day, the Kenaaniy is no more in the house of Yah Veh Sabaoth.

¹⁷ And he doctrinates them, wording, Is it not scribed, My house is called by all goyim the house of prayer? And you make it a grotto of robbers. ^{Isaiah 56:7, Jeremiah 7:11}

¹⁶ and says to them who sell doves, Take these hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.

¹³ Zebulun: he tabernacles at the haven of the sea: and he is for a haven of ships; and his flank is to Sidon.

⁶⁴ and Yah Veh scatters you among all people from the end of the earth to the end of the earth; and there you serve other elohim which neither you nor your fathers know - timber and stone. ⁶⁵ And among these goyim you neither blink nor rest the sole of your foot: and there Yah Veh gives you a quivering heart and failing of eyes and sorrow of soul: ⁶⁶ and suspends your life in front of you; and you fear day and night and trust not in your life: ⁶⁷ in the morning you say, O to give that it become evening! and at evening you say, O to give that it become morning! - for the fear of your heart that you fear and for the vision of your eyes that you see.

⁸ and Yah Veh gives them into the hand of Yisra El who smites them and pursues them to great Sidon and to Misrephoth Mayim and to the valley of Mispeh from the rising; they smite them until no survivors survive:

⁷ Is this your city jumping for joy - whose antiquity is of ancient days? - her own feet bear her afar off to sojourn.

²² this is the word Yah Veh words concerning him: The virgin, the daughter of Siyon, despises you, ridicules you; the daughter of Yeru Shalem shakes her head behind you.

¹
THE FALL OF BABEL
Descend, and sit in the dust; O virgin daughter of Babel, sit on the earth; there is no throne, O daughter of the Kesediym: for you add not to be called tender and delicate.

¹⁷ You, say this word to them; My eyes drip with tears night and day and they cease not: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breaking - with a mighty stroking stroke.

¹¹ Ascend into Gilad, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Misrayim: you abound your healers in vain for they bandage you not.

³ Yah Hudah is exiled because of humiliation and because of abundant servitude; she settles among the goyim, she finds no rest; all her pursuers overtake her between the straits.

¹⁵ Adonay tramples all my mighty in my midst; he calls a congregation against me to break my young men; as in a winepress Adonay treads the virgin daughter of Yah Hudah.

¹⁵ They call to them, Turn aside! Foul! Turn aside! Turn aside! Touch not! As they flee and wander, they say among the goyim, Add not to sojourn there.

¹³ And I shabbathize the roar of your songs and the voice of your harps are heard no more: ¹⁴ and I give you as the clearing of a rock to spread nets on: you are built no more: for I Yah Veh have worded - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

⁶ from the oaks of Bashan they work your oars; the daughters of the Ashshuriym work your boards of ivory - brought from the islands of Kittim.

²² and the voice of citherists and musicians and of flutists and trumpeters are never ever no way still heard in you; and any technician of whatever technique, are never ever no way still found in you; and the voice of a millstone are never ever no way still heard in you;

¹⁴ And the name of the third river, Hiddeqel: going east of Ashshur. And the fourth river, Euphrates.

¹⁰ And the beginning of his sovereigndom is Babel and Erech and Akkad and Kalneh in the land of Shinar. ¹¹ From that land Ashshur goes and builds Nineveh and the city Rechovoth and Kelach;

⁹ So the name thereof is called Babel; because there Yah Veh mixes up the lip of all the earth: and from there Yah Veh scatters them abroad on the face of all the earth.
GENEALOGY OF SHEM

²⁸ and Haran dies at the face of his father Terach in the land of his kindred, in Ur of the Kesediym.

³¹ And Terach takes Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran the son of his son and Saray his daughter in law the woman of his son Abram; and they go with them from Ur of the Kesediym to go into the land of Kenaan; and they come to Haran and settle there.

²⁴
GOYIM SETTLE IN SHOMERON
And the sovereign of Ashshur brings them from Babel and from Kuth and from Avva and from Hamath and from Sepharvayim; and sets them in the cities of Shomeron in the stead of the sons of Yisra El: and they possess Shomeron and settle in the cities thereof.

¹²
THE BABEL ENVOYS
At that time Berodach Bel Adoni, the son of Bel Adan sovereign of Babel sends scrolls and an offering to Yechizqi Yah: for he hears Yechizqi Yah is sick:

¹¹ and Yah Veh brings on them the governors of the host of the sovereign of Ashshur who capture Menash Sheh among the thorns and bind him with copper and walk him to Babel:

⁹ Then Rechum the master of decrees and Shimshay the scribe and the survivors of their colleagues - the Dinaiy, the Apharesiym, the Tarpeliy, the Apharsiy, the Archeviy, the Babeliy, the Shushanchiy, the Dehaviy and the Elamiy ¹⁰ and the survivors of the nations whom the great and esteemed Osnapper reveals and settles in the cities of Shomeron, and the survivors on this side the river, and et cetera.

¹⁷ While he is yet wording, another also comes and says, The Kesediym set out three heads and stripped the camels and took them away; yes, and smote the servants with the mouth of the sword; and I - I only escaped alone to tell you.

⁹ desertdwellers kneel at his face and his enemies lick the dust.

⁵ Ho, Ashshuri, the scion of my wrath; and the rod in their hand, my rage:

⁷ and he - he neither considers thus, nor fabricates his heart thus; but in his heart is to desolate and cut off goyim not a few.

¹⁹ And Babel, the splendour of sovereigndoms, the adornment of the pomp of the Kesediym, becomes as when Elohim overthrew Sedom and Amorah

⁷ For thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Behold, I bring on Sor Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel - a sovereign of sovereigns, from the north, with horses and with chariots and with cavalry and congregations and much people. ⁸ He slaughters your daughters with the sword in the field: and he gives a battering tower against you and pours a mound against you and raises the shield against you: ⁹ and he give battering rams against your walls and with his sword he pulls down your towers. ¹⁰ By the throngs of his horses their dust covers you: your walls quake at the voice of the cavalry and of the wheels and of the chariots - when he enters into your portals is as entering into a split city. ¹¹ With the hoofs of his horses he tramples all your outways: he slaughters your people by the sword and lowers your monoliths of strength to the earth. ¹² And they plunder your valuables and plunder your merchandise: and they break down your walls and pull down your pleasant houses: and they set your stones and your timber and your dust midst the water. ¹³ And I shabbathize the roar of your songs and the voice of your harps are heard no more: ¹⁴ and I give you as the clearing of a rock to spread nets on: you are built no more: for I Yah Veh have worded - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

¹⁸ Son of humanity, Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel has his valiant to serve a great service against Sor: every head baldens and every shoulder peels: yet neither he nor his valiant have any hire from Sor for the service he served against it.

³⁰ the sovereign answers and says, Is not this great Babel, which I built, for the house of the sovereigndom by the empowerment of my power, and for the esteem of my majesty?

⁶ For, behold, I raise the Kesediym, that bitter and hasty goyim, to walk through the expanse of the land; to possess the tabernacles which are not theirs:

⁴ Then he comes from the land of the Kesediym and settles in Haran: and from there, after his father dies, he exiles him to this land wherein you now settle:

¹
THE BURDEN OF SOR
The burden of Sor: Howl, you ships of Tarshish; for it is ravaged, so that there is neither house nor entering in: from the land of Kittim it was exposed to them.

⁶ You, pass over to Tarshish; howl, you settlers of the island.

²⁵ The ships of Tarshish stroll in your merchandise: and fulfill you and mightily honor you in the heart of the seas. ²⁶ Your paddlers bring you into great waters: the east wind breaks you in the heart of the seas: ²⁷ your wealth, and your markets, your merchandise, your mariners, and your sailers, your breach holders, and the pledgers of your merchandise, and all your men of war - in you and in all your congregation among you fall into the heart of the seas in the day of your ruin. ²⁸ The suburbs quake at the voice of the cry of your sailers: ²⁹ and all who manipulate the oar - the mariners and all the sailers of the sea descend from their ships; they stand on the land: ³⁰ and hearken their voice against you and cry bitterly and ascend dust on their heads: they wallow themselves in the ashes:

¹¹
MERCHANTS WEEP OVER THE FALL OF BABEL
And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her; because no one markets her wares never more ¹² - the wares of gold and silver and precious stones and of pearls and white linen and purple and silk and scarlet and all incense timber and all vessels of elephantine and all vessels of most precious timber and of copper and iron and marble ¹³ and cinnamon and incense and myrrh and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and grain and animals and sheep and horses and chariots and bodies and souls of humanity. ¹⁴ And the evening hour of the panting of your soul is gone from you; and all the greasy and radiant are gone from you; and you no way find them never more. ¹⁵ Her merchants of these, whom she enriched, stand from afar for the awe of her torture - weeping and mourning ¹⁶ and wording, Woe! Woe! - that megalopolis arrayed in white linen and purple and scarlet and gilded in gold and precious stones and pearls!

⁹ Behold, I send and take all the families of the north - an oracle of Yah Veh and Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel my servant - and bring them against this land and against the settlers and against all these goyim all around; and devote them and set them a desolation and a hissing; and eternal parched areas:

³ and send them to the sovereign of Edom and to the sovereign of Moab and to the sovereign of the sons of Ammon and to the sovereign of Sor and to the sovereign of Sidon by the hand of the angels who come to Yeru Shalem - to Sidqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah: ⁴ and misvah them, saying to their adonim, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El: Thus say to your adonim: ⁵ I - I worked the earth with humanity and the animal on the face of the earth by my great strength and by my spread arm; and gave it to whom were straight in my eyes. ⁶ And now I give all these lands into the hand of Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel, my servant; and I also give him the live beings of the field to serve him: ⁷ and all goyim serve him and his son and sons of his son until the very time of his land comes: and then many goyim and great sovereigns have him to serve.

¹⁰ For thus says Yah Veh: According to my mouth, when seventy years are fulfilled at Babel, I visit you and raise my good word toward you and return you to to this place.

²⁵ The ships of Tarshish stroll in your merchandise: and fulfill you and mightily honor you in the heart of the seas.

¹¹ neither foot of humanity passes through nor foot of animal passes through; nor is it settled forty years:

¹⁴ and he is given dominion and esteem and a sovereigndom - so that all people, nations and tongues serve him: his dominion is an eternal dominion which passes not away; and his sovereigndom despoils not.

²¹ and the buck buck, the sovereign of Yavan: and the great horn between his eyes, the first sovereign;

¹⁵ and I give her her vineyards from there and Gaymek Achor for an opening of hope: and there she answers as in the days of her youth - as in the day she ascended from the land of Misrayim.

¹⁰ And there are seven sovereigns: five are fallen and one is and the other has not yet come; and when he comes he must abide a little.

¹⁰ and behold, a woman meets him with the masculine garment of a whore: with guarded heart ¹¹ she roars and revolts; her feet tabernacle not in her house ¹² - at this time in the outways at that time in the broadways and lurks beside every corner.

¹⁴ All your lovers forget you; they seek you not: for I smite you with the wound of an enemy; with the chastisement of a cruel one; for the abundance of your perversity; your sins are mighty.

¹⁸ bring not the payoff of whoring, or the price of a dog, to the house of Yah Veh your Elohim for any vow: for even these two are an abhorrence to Yah Veh your Elohim.

²⁶ And you whore with the sons of Misrayim your fellow tabernaclers, great of flesh; and abound your whoredoms to vex me.

³¹ building your arch in the head of every way; and working your ramah in every broadway: and not being as a whore who ridicules a payoff;

¹³ And behold, I smite my palm at the greedy gain you work; and at your blood in your midst. ]

⁶ from the oaks of Bashan they work your oars; the daughters of the Ashshuriym work your boards of ivory - brought from the islands of Kittim. ⁷ Of white linen with embroidery from Misrayim become your spreadings to become your sail; blue and purple from the islands of Eli Shah becomes your cover;

⁷ and crush all the sculptiles and burn all the payoffs with the fire and desolate all the idols; for she gathers from the payoff of a whore and to the payoff of a whore they return:

¹¹ The heads judge for a bribe and the priests teach for a price, and the prophets divine for silver: yet they lean on Yah Veh, saying, Is not Yah Veh among us? Evil approaches us not!

⁴ Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the whore of good charism, the baalah of sorceries, who sells goyim through her whoredoms, and families through her sorceries.

⁷ and the boundary becomes for the survivors of the house of Yah Hudah to graze thereon: in the houses of Ashkelon they crouch in the evening: for Yah Veh their Elohim visits them and restores their captivity.

¹⁴ Shimon declared exactly how Elohim at the first visited the goyim, to take from them a people to his name.

³ no winesop, no striker, not avaricious: but gentle, amicable, unavaricious,

⁸
MINISTERS
Likewise ministers: venerant, not doubleworded, not heeding much wine, not avaricious,

² Shepherd the shepherddom of Elohim among you, overseeing - not by compulsion, but voluntarily; not for avarice, but eagerly;

¹
THE MEGA WHORE
And one of the seven angels having the seven phials comes and speaks with me, wording to me, Come here! I show you the judgment of the mega whore sitting on many waters: ² with whom the sovereigns of the earth whored; and who settle on the earth who intoxicate from the wine of her whoredom. ³ So he bears me in spirit to the wilderness: and I see a woman sitting on a scarlet beast full of names of blasphemy having seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ And the woman is arrayed in purple and scarlet and gilded with gold and precious stones and pearls; having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and impurity of her whoredom: ⁵ and on her forehead, a name scribed, MYSTERY! BABEL THE MEGA THE MOTHER OF WHORES AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

⁹
SOVEREIGNS WEEP OVER THE FALL OF BABEL
And the sovereigns of the earth who whored and luxuriated with her, weep for her and chop over her when they see the smoke of her firing, ¹⁰ standing from afar for the awe of her torture, wording, Woe! Woe that megalopolis Babel! - that mighty city! because in one hour is your judgment iis come. ¹¹
MERCHANTS WEEP OVER THE FALL OF BABEL
And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her; because no one markets her wares never more ¹² - the wares of gold and silver and precious stones and of pearls and white linen and purple and silk and scarlet and all incense timber and all vessels of elephantine and all vessels of most precious timber and of copper and iron and marble ¹³ and cinnamon and incense and myrrh and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and grain and animals and sheep and horses and chariots and bodies and souls of humanity. ¹⁴ And the evening hour of the panting of your soul is gone from you; and all the greasy and radiant are gone from you; and you no way find them never more.

² because true and just are his judgments: because he judged the mega whore who corrupted the earth in her whoredom and avenged the blood of his servants from her hand.

³⁶
PATTERN FOR THE TIARA
And work a blossom of pure gold and engrave thereon as the engravings of a seal, HOLY TO YAH VEH.

¹⁸ but eat them at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim in the place Yah Veh your Elohim chooses - you and your son and your daughter and your servant and your maid and the Leviy within your portals: and cheer at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim in all you spread your hands to. ¹⁹ Guard to not forsake the Leviy all your days on the soil.

¹² When you finish off tithing all the tithes of your produce of the third year - the year of tithing and give to the Leviy, the sojourner, the orphan and the widow, that they eat inside your portals and satiate: ¹³ and you say, at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim, I burn the holies from my house and also give them to the Leviy and to the sojourner, to the orphan and to the widow, according to all the misvoth you misvahed me: I neither trespassed your misvoth nor forgot them: ¹⁴ I neither ate thereof in my mischief nor burnt thereof for any foul use nor given thereof for them who died: but I hearkened to the voice of Yah Veh my Elohim and worked according to all you misvahed me.

⁷ And now, send me a wise man to work in gold and in silver and in copper and in iron and in purple and crimson and blue - who percieves to engrave engravings with the wise who are with me in Yah Hudah and in Yeru Shalem - whom David my father prepared: ⁸ and send me cedar trees, cypress trees and algumim trees from Lebanon: for I know that your servants perceive to cut timber in Lebanon; and behold, my servants are with your servants; ⁹ even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house I build is marvellous and great.

¹¹ And Hiram the sovereign of Sor says in inscribings he sends to Shelomoh, Because Yah Veh loves his people he gives you sovereign over them. ¹² Hiram says, Blessed - Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El who works the heavens and earth; who gave David the sovereign a wise son knowing comprehension and discernment to build a house for Yah Veh and a house for his sovereigndom. ¹³ And now I send a wise man of Hiram my father who knows discernment; ¹⁴ the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan and his father is a Soriy; who perceives to work in gold and in silver, in copper, in iron, in stone and in timber, in purple, in blue and in bleached linen and in crimson; and to engrave any engraving and to fabricate any fabrication given him; with your wise and with the wise of my adoni David your father. ¹⁵ And now, the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, of which my adoni says, Have him send to his servants: ¹⁶ and we - we cut timber from Lebanon - as much as you need: and we bring it to you in rafts by sea to Yapho; and you ascend it to Yeru Shalem.

¹² The daughter of Sor with an offering, even the rich among the people stroke your face.

¹⁰ The sovereigns of Tarshish and of the islands return offerings; the sovereigns of Sheba and Seba oblate their hire;

⁹ Honor Yah Veh with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce: ¹⁰ thus are your ingatherings filled with sufficiency and your troughs break forth with juice.

²² The good have the sons of their sons to inherit; and the valuables of the sinner are treasured for the just.

⁸ He who by interest and bounty abounds his wealth, gathers for him who grants charism to the poor.

²⁶ - giving humanity what is good at his face - wisdom and knowledge and cheerfulness; and to the sinner he gives drudgery, to gather and to heap, to give him the good at the face of Elohim. This also is vanity and gnawing of spirit.

⁵ Then you awe and flow together; and your heart fears and enlarges: because the abundance of the sea turns to you; the valued of the goyim come to you: ⁶ the throngs of camels cover you - the dromedaries of Midyan and Ephah; all they of Sheba come: they bear gold and incense and they evangelize the halals of Yah Veh: ⁷ all the flocks of Qedar gather to you; the rams of Nebayoth minister to you: they ascend with pleasure on my sacrifice altar and I adorn the house of my adornment. ⁸ Who are these, flying as a cloud and as the doves to their windows? ⁹ Surely the islands await me; and the ships of Tarshish first to bring your sons from afar - their silver and their gold with them to the name of Yah Veh your Elohim, and to the Holy One of Yisra El, because he adorns you.

¹³ Rise and thresh, O daughter of Siyon: for I set your horn iron and I set your hoofs copper; and you pulverize many people: and I devote their greedy gain to Yah Veh, and their valuables to the Adonay of the whole earth.

²⁰ In that day there is on the jinglers of the horses, HOLINESS TO YAH VEH. And so be the caldrons in the house of Yah Veh - as the sprinklers at the face of the sacrifice altar: ²¹ and so be every caldron in Yeru Shalem and in Yah Hudah - holy to Yah Veh Sabaoth: and all who sacrifice come and take thereof, and stew therein: and in that day, the Kenaaniy is no more in the house of Yah Veh Sabaoth.

¹⁰ Bring all your tithes into the treasure house, that there be prey in my house; and proof me, I beseech, herewith, says Yah Veh Sabaoth, if I not open the windows of the heavens to you and pour a blessing until you not have sufficient.

TREASURING TREASURES
Treasure not for yourselves treasures on earth; where moth and rust dissolve and where thieves break through and steal: ²⁰ but treasure for yourselves treasures in the heavens; where neither moth nor rust dissolve and where thieves neither break through nor steal: ²¹ for where your treasure is, there your heart is also.

³⁵ for I famished, and you gave me eats; I thirsted, and you gave me drink; a stranger, and you gathered me in; ³⁶ naked, and you arrayed me; frail, and you visited me; in a guardhouse, and you came to me. ³⁷ Then the just answer him, wording, Adonay, When saw we you famishing, and nourished you? Or thirsting, and gave you drink? ³⁸ When saw we you a stranger, and gathered you in? Or naked, and arrayed you? ³⁹ Or when saw we you frail? Or in a guardhouse, and came to you? ⁴⁰ And the sovereign answers them, saying, Amen! I word to you, As you did to one of the least of these my brothers, you did to me.

⁸ and from Yeru Shalem and from Edom and from beyond Yarden: and those around Sor and Sidon, a vast multitude, having heard as much as he did, come to him.

³ and Yah Hanna the woman of Chuza manager of Herod, and Shoshanna, and many others who ministered to him from their holdings.

¹⁸ And he says, I do this: I pull down my granaries and build greater; and there gather all my produce and my goods: ¹⁹ and say to my soul, Soul, you have vast goods laid for many years; Rest! Eat! Drink! Rejoice! ²⁰ And Elohim says to him, Thoughtless! This night your soul is required of you: so whose are those that you prepared?

³³ Sell your holdings and give mercies; make yourselves pouches which antiquate not - an inexhaustible treasure in the heavens where neither thief approaches nor moth corrupts:

⁹ And I word to you, Make yourselves friends of the mammon of injustice; so that, whenever you fail, they receive you into eternal tabernacles. ¹⁰ Whoever is trustworthy in the least is also trustworthy in much: and whoever is unjust in the least is also unjust in much. ¹¹ So if you are not trustworthy in the unjust mammon, who entrusts you with the true? ¹² And if you are not trustworthy in that of another, who gives you that which is your own? ¹³ No housekeeper can serve two adonim: for either he hates the one and loves the other; or else he upholds the one and disesteems the other. You cannot serve Elohim and mammon.

³⁹ - and Petros rises and goes with them. And he comes, and they bring him into the upper loft: and all the widows stand by him weeping and showing the tunics and garments - as many as Gazelle made, being with them.

³ and Cyprus appears: we leave it on the left and sail into Syria and moore at Sor: for there the sailer unburdens her burden. ⁴
DISCIPLES WARN PAULOS
We abide there seven days: and find disciples who, through the Spirit, word to Paulos to not ascend to Yeru Shalem. ⁵ And so be it, we complete/shalam those days, and depart and go our way; and they all, with women and children, forward us until we are out of the city: and we place our knees on the shore and pray:

²⁵ And now I go to Yeru Shalem to minister to the holy. ²⁶ For they of Macedonia and Achaia well-approved to make a communion to the poor holy in Yeru Shalem: ²⁷ - they indeed well-approved; and their debtors they are. For if the goyim commune of their spirituals, they are indebted to liturgize in their fleshlies.

⁶ Whoever catechizes in the word, impart to him who catechizes in all good.

¹⁷ Not that I seek a gift: but that I seek fruit, superabounding to your word. ¹⁸ And I have all and superabound: I am fulfilled/shalamed - having received those from you from Epaphroditus, a well-fragranced fragrance, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to Elohim.
