THE FIG BASKETS
Yah Veh has me see; and behold, two baskets of figs congregate at the face of the manse of Yah Veh, after Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel exiles Yechon Yah the son of Yah Yaqim sovereign of Yah Hudah and the governors of Yah Hudah with the engravers and locksmiths from Yeru Shalem; and brings them to Babel. ² One basket of mighty good figs, as the first ripe figs: and the one basket of mighty evil figs, which are not eaten, for evil. ³ Then says Yah Veh to me, What see you, Yirme Yah? And I say, Figs! The good figs, mighty good; and the evil, mighty evil, not eaten, for evil. ⁴ And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ⁵ Thus says Yah Veh, Elohim of Yisra El; As these good figs, thus I acknowledge the exiles of Yah Hudah - whom I sent from this place into the land of the Kesediym for good: ⁶ and I set my eyes on them for good, and I return them to this land: and I build them, and not break; and I plant them, and not uproot: ⁷ and I give them a heart to know me, I - Yah Veh: and they are my people, and I am their Elohim: for they return to me with their whole heart. ⁸ And as the evil figs, not eaten for their evil, thus says Yah Veh: Thus I give Sidqi Yah the sovereign of Yah Hudah and his governors and the survivors of Yeru Shalem who survive in this land - who settle in the land of Misrayim: ⁹ and I give them for an agitation into all the sovereigndoms of the earth for evil - a reproach and a proverb - a gibe and an abasement in all places I drive them: ¹⁰ and I send the sword the famine and the pestilence among them - until they are consumed from off the soil - I give to them and to their fathers.

²⁹ And if from there you seek Yah Veh your Elohim - and find if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul ³⁰ - when you are in tribulation and all these words find you - even in the final days, if you turn to Yah Veh your Elohim and hearken to his voice; ³¹
YAH VEH, A MERCIFUL EL for Yah Veh your Elohim is a merciful El; he neither lets you loose nor ruins you, nor forgets the covenant of your fathers which he oathed to them.

¹⁶ who fed you in the wilderness with manna which your fathers knew not - to humble you and to test you - to well-please you at your latter end;

¹² a land Yah Veh your Elohim searched out: the eyes of Yah Veh your Elohim are continually thereon - from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year.

² that you take of the first of all the fruit of the soil, which you bring from the land Yah Veh your Elohim gives you; and put it in a basket and go to the place Yah Veh your Elohim chooses to place his name: ³ and go to the priest being in those days and say to him, I tell this day to Yah Veh your Elohim, that I come to the land Yah Veh oathed to our fathers to give us. ⁴ - and the priest takes the basket from your hand and sets it at the face of the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh your Elohim.

¹⁷ You say this day for Yah Veh to become your Elohim and to walk in his ways; and to guard his statutes and his misvoth and his judgments; and to hearken to his voice. ¹⁸ And Yah Veh says this day for you to become his peculiar people, as he worded to you: and to guard all his misvoth; ¹⁹ and gives that you become most high above all goyim he worked - in halal and in name and in adornment; to become a holy people to Yah Veh your Elohim, as he worded.

²⁵ Yah Veh gives you, smitten at the face of your enemies: you go against them one way and flee their face seven ways: - removed into all the sovereigndoms of the earth.

³⁷ And you become a desolation, a proverb and a gibe, among all people Yah Veh drives you.

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.

² and you return to Yah Veh your Elohim and hear his voice according to all I misvah you this day - you and your sons with all your heart and with all your soul; ³ then Yah Veh your Elohim turns your captivity and mercies you and returns and gathers you from all the goyim - wherever Yah Veh your Elohim scattered you: ⁴ and so be it, if you are expelled to the ends of the heavens, from thence Yah Veh your Elohim gathers you; and from thence he takes you: ⁵ and Yah Veh your Elohim brings you to possess the land your fathers possessed: and he well-pleases you and abounds you above your fathers: ⁶ and Yah Veh your Elohim circumcises your heart and the heart of your seed - to love Yah Veh your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul for your life:

³ And Shemu El says to all the house of Yisra El, saying, If you return to Yah Veh with all your hearts, then turn aside the strange elohim and Ashtaroth from among you and prepare your hearts to Yah Veh and serve him only, and he rescues you from the hand of the Peleshethiy.

⁹ Formerly in Yisra El, when a man went to enquire of Elohim, he said thus, Come and let us go to the seer! - for the Prophet of today was formerly called, Seer.

¹⁹ Now they find no artificer throughout all the land of Yisra El: for the Peleshethiy say, Lest the Hebrews work swords or spears: ²⁰ and all the Yisra Eliy descend to the Peleshethiy and every man sharpens his share and his plowshare and his ax and his pick;

⁴⁶ when they sin against you - for no human sins not - and you become angry with them and give them to face the enemy so that their captors capture them to the land of the enemy - far or near; ⁴⁷ and they turn their hearts to the land they were captured and turn and beseech to you in the land of them who captured them, saying, We sinned and perverted; we did wickedly; ⁴⁸ and return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who captured them; and pray to you toward the land you gave their fathers - the city you chose and the house I built for your name: ⁴⁹ then hear their prayer and their supplication in the heavens the place of your settlement and work their judgment; ⁵⁰ and forgive your people who sinned against you and all the rebellions they rebelled against you and give them mercies at the face of their captors that they mercy them:

⁷ then I cut Yisra El from the face of the soil I gave them; and this house I hallowed for my name, I send from my face; and Yisra El becomes a proverb and gibe among all people:

¹² and Yah Yachin the sovereign of Yah Hudah goes to the sovereign of Babel - he and his mother and his servants and his governors and his eunuchs: and the sovereign of Babel takes him in the eighth year of his reign: ¹³ and from there he brings all the treasures of the house of Yah Veh and the treasures of the house of the sovereign; and chops all the instruments of gold Shelomoh sovereign of Yisra El worked in the manse of Yah Veh as Yah Veh worded. ¹⁴ And he exiles all Yeru Shalem and all the governors and all the mighty of valour - ten thousand exiles and all the artificers and locksmiths - none survive except the poorest sort of the people of the land. ¹⁵ And he exiles Yah Yachin to Babel, and the mother of the sovereign and the women of the sovereign and his eunuchs and the mighty of the land: he walks them from Yeru Shalem to Babel into exile: ¹⁶ and all the men of valour seven thousand and artificers and locksmiths a thousand - all the mighty who work war - even them the sovereign of Babel exiles to Babel.

³⁸ if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity where they captured them; and pray in the way of the land you gave their fathers and the city you chose and the house I built for your name:

²⁰ then I uproot them from my soil which I gave them; and this house I hallowed for my name, I cast from my face and give it to be a proverb and a gibe among all the peoples.

⁹ As for Yah Veh, - his eyes flit throughout the whole earth, strengthened in behalf of them whose heart is at shalom toward him. Herein you folly: from this time on you have wars.

¹⁰ And at the turn of the year, sovereign Nebukadnets Tsar sends and brings him to Babel, with the instruments of desire of the house of Yah Veh: and has Sidqi Yah his brother reign over Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem.

¹⁹ Remember on me, my Elohim, for good, according to all I work for this people.

²⁷ He observes men, and if any say, I sinned and perverted the straight and it profits me not; ²⁸ he redeems my soul from passing into the pit of ruin and my life sees the light.

¹⁵ The eyes of Yah Veh are on the just and his ears to their cry.

¹³ you set us a reproach to our fellow tabernaclers; a derision and a ridicule to them all around us: ¹⁴ you set us a proverb among the goyim - a shaking of the head among the nations:

¹² Blithe - the mighty whom you discipline, O Yah; - whom you teach from your torah; ¹³ so that you rest him from the days of evil, until they dig the pit of ruin for the wicked. ¹⁴ For Yah Veh neither abandons his people nor forsakes his inheritance;

¹⁸ he enrobes abasing as tailoring, thus it enters his inwards as water - as ointment into his bones: ¹⁹ so be it as the clothes that cover him and for a girdle to continually gird:

⁶⁷ Ere I humbled, I erred inadvertently; and now I guard your sayings:

⁷¹ it is good for me to be humbled - to learn your statutes:

⁴ What more work I to my vineyard that I worked not therein? Why, when I awaited it to work grapes, worked it stinkweeds?

⁷ For the vineyard of Yah Veh Sabaoth is the house of Yisra El, and the men of Yah Hudah his plant of delights: and he awaits judgment; and behold, oppression: for justness; and behold, a cry.

¹⁶ And I set my words in your mouth; and I covered you in the shadow of my hand to plant the heavens and to lay the foundations of the earth, and to say to Siyon, You are my people.

¹⁹ These two confront you. Who wags over you? Ravage and breaking and the famine and the sword! Who except me sighs over you?

⁶ Seek Yah Veh while he is to be found; call on him while he is near: ⁷ the wicked forsake his way; and the man of mischief, his fabrications: and he returns to Yah Veh, and he mercies him; and to our Elohim, for he abounds to forgive.

¹⁵ and you leave your name for an oath to my chosen: for Adonay Yah Veh deathifies you and calls his servants by another name:

¹⁰ See, this day I set you overseer over the goyim and over the sovereigndoms; to uproot and to pull down and to destroy and to demolish; to build and to plant. ¹¹
THE ALMOND SPROUT
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, Yirme Yah, what see you? And I say, I see a sprout from an almond tree. ¹² And Yah Veh says to me, You well-please in seeing: for I watch my word to work it. ¹³
THE PRESSURE CALDRON
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me secondly, saying, What see you? And I say, I see a pressure caldron; and the face thereof is at the face of the north. ¹⁴ Yah Veh says to me, From the north an evil loosens on all the settlers of the land:

¹⁰ And yet for all this her sister Yah Hudah who deals covertly returns not to me with her whole heart, but in falsehood - an oracle of Yah Veh.

¹² They disown Yah Veh, and say, Not him! Neither comes evil on us nor see we sword or famine:

¹⁶ and I scatter them among the goyim whom neither they nor their fathers knew: and I send a sword after them until I finish them off.

¹⁵ And so be it, after I uproot them, I return and compassion them, return them - every man to his inheritance and every man to his land.

¹⁵ So thus says Yah Veh concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, whom I sent not, yet they say, Sword and famine become not in this land; the sword and famine consumes those prophets: ¹⁶ and the people to whom they prophesy are cast out in the outways of Yeru Shalem at the face of the famine and the sword: and there is no one to entomb them - them, their women, their sons and their daughters: for I pour their evil on them.

² And so be it, if they say to you, Where go we? you say to them, Thus says Yah Veh: Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity:

⁴ and I give them for an agitation into all sovereigndoms of the earth, because of Menash Sheh the son of Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, for what he worked in Yeru Shalem.

⁴ they die deaths of sicknesses; - neither chopped after nor entombed; - as dung on the face of the soil: - finished off by the sword and by famine; and their carcases are meat for the flyers of the heavens and for the animals of the earth.

⁷ At that blink, when I word concerning a goyim, and concerning a sovereigndom, to uproot - and to pull down - and to destroy ⁸ - if that goyim, against whom I word, turns from their evil, then I sigh of the evil I fabricate to work to them. ⁹ And at that blink, when I word concerning a goyim and concerning a kingdom - to build and to plant;

⁷ and I vacate the counsel of Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem in this place; and I fell them by the sword at the face of their enemies, and by the hands of them seeking their souls: and I give their carcases for food for the flyers of the heavens and for the animals of the earth: ⁸ and I set this city desolate and a hissing: every one who passes by astonishes and hisses because of all the wounds.

¹⁰ For I set my face against this city for evil and not for good; - an oracle of Yah Veh: - given into the hand of the sovereign of Babel and he burns it with fire.

²⁴ I live, - an oracle of Yah Veh; though Kon Yah the son of Yah Yaqim sovereign of Yah Hudah were seal on my right hand, yet I tear you thence; ²⁵ and I give you into the hand of them who seek your soul and into the hand of them whose face you fear - even into the hand of Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel and into the hand of the Kesediym: ²⁶ and I cast you and your mother who birthed you into another land where you were not birthed; and there you die. ²⁷ And to the land to which they lift their soul to return they return not. ²⁸ Is this man Kon Yah a despised splattered idol? An instrument wherein is no delight? Why are they cast out, he and his seed, - cast into a land they know not?

³ and I gather the survivors of my flock from all lands I drove them; and return them to their habitations of rest; and they bear fruit and abound:

² One basket of mighty good figs, as the first ripe figs: and the one basket of mighty evil figs, which are not eaten, for evil.

⁵ Thus says Yah Veh, Elohim of Yisra El; As these good figs, thus I acknowledge the exiles of Yah Hudah - whom I sent from this place into the land of the Kesediym for good:

⁵ Thus says Yah Veh, Elohim of Yisra El; As these good figs, thus I acknowledge the exiles of Yah Hudah - whom I sent from this place into the land of the Kesediym for good: ⁶ and I set my eyes on them for good, and I return them to this land: and I build them, and not break; and I plant them, and not uproot: ⁷ and I give them a heart to know me, I - Yah Veh: and they are my people, and I am their Elohim: for they return to me with their whole heart. ⁸ And as the evil figs, not eaten for their evil, thus says Yah Veh: Thus I give Sidqi Yah the sovereign of Yah Hudah and his governors and the survivors of Yeru Shalem who survive in this land - who settle in the land of Misrayim: ⁹ and I give them for an agitation into all the sovereigndoms of the earth for evil - a reproach and a proverb - a gibe and an abasement in all places I drive them: ¹⁰ and I send the sword the famine and the pestilence among them - until they are consumed from off the soil - I give to them and to their fathers.

¹⁸ Yeru Shalem and the cities of Yah Hudah; and the sovereigns and the governors - to give them a parched area, a desolation; a hissing and an abasement; as this day:

⁶ then I give this house as Shiloh and give this city for an abasement to all the goyim of the earth.

⁸ And so be it, the goyim and sovereigndom who serve not the same Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel - who give not their neck under the yoke of the sovereign of Babel, I visit on that goyim - an oracle of Yah Veh, with the sword and with the famine and with the pestilence until I consume them by his hand.

² - after Yechon Yah the sovereign and the lady and the eunuchs and the governors of Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem and the engravers and the locksmiths departed from Yeru Shalem:

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.

¹² And you, call on me; and come and pray to me; and I hearken to you: ¹³ and you, seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart: ¹⁴ and you find me - an oracle of Yah Veh and I return your captivity and I gather you from all the goyim and from all the places I drove you - an oracle of Yah Veh and I return you to the place whence I exiled you;

¹⁶ thus says Yah Veh of the sovereign who settles on the throne of David, and of all the people who settle in this city, and of your brothers who were not exiled with you; ¹⁷ thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: Behold, I send on them the sword the famine and the pestilence; and give them as putrified figs, not eaten for their evil:

¹⁷ thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: Behold, I send on them the sword the famine and the pestilence; and give them as putrified figs, not eaten for their evil: ¹⁸ and I pursue after them with the sword with the famine and with the pestilence; and give them for an agitation to all the sovereigndoms of the earth - for an oath and a desolation and a hissing and a reproach among all the goyim where I drove them:

¹⁸ and I pursue after them with the sword with the famine and with the pestilence; and give them for an agitation to all the sovereigndoms of the earth - for an oath and a desolation and a hissing and a reproach among all the goyim where I drove them:

²² and take an abasement from them for all the exiles of Yah Hudah in Babel, saying, Yah Veh sets you as Sidqi Yah and as Ach Ab, whom the sovereign of Babel scorched in the fire;

²² And you are my people, and I am your Elohim.

³³ For this is the covenant I cut with the house of Yisra El: After those days, - an oracle of Yah Veh I give my torah in their inwards and inscribe it in their hearts; and I become their Elohim and they become my people: ³⁴ and no more teaches every man his friend, and every man his brother, saying, Know Yah Veh! For they all know me - from the least of them to the greatest of them - an oracle of Yah Veh for I forgive their perversity and I remember their sin no more.

²⁸ So thus says Yah Veh: Behold, I give this city into the hand of the Kesediym, and into the hand of Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel; and he takes it: ²⁹ and the Kesediym who fight against this city come and kindle fire on this city - and burn it with the houses on whose roofs they incensed to Baal and libated libations to other elohim, to vex me:

³⁷ Behold, I gather them from all lands, where I drove them in my wrath and in my fury and in great rage; and I return them to this place: and have them settle confidently: ³⁸ and they are my people, and I am their Elohim: ³⁹ and I give them one heart and one way, so that they awe me all days, for the good of them and of their sons after them: ⁴⁰ and I cut an eternal covenant with them to not turn away from after them to well-please them; and I give my fear in their hearts that they not turn aside from me. ⁴¹ Yes, I rejoice over them to do them good, and I plant them in this land in truth with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

⁷ and I restore the captivity of Yah Hudah and the captivity of Yisra El; and build them as at the first:

¹⁷ So thus says Yah Veh: You hearken not to me, in calling out liberty - every man to his brother and every man to his friend: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you - an oracle of Yah Veh to the sword, to the pestilence and to the famine; and I give you for an agitation into all the kingdoms of the earth:

¹⁷ So thus says Yah Veh: You hearken not to me, in calling out liberty - every man to his brother and every man to his friend: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you - an oracle of Yah Veh to the sword, to the pestilence and to the famine; and I give you for an agitation into all the kingdoms of the earth: ¹⁸ and I give the men who tresspass my covenant, who raise not the words of the covenant to cut at my face - when they cut the calf in two and passed between the sections ¹⁹ - the governors of Yah Hudah and the governors of Yeru Shalem, the eunuchs, and the priests and all the people of the land who passed between the sections of the calf; ²⁰ yes, I give them into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of them who seek their soul: and their carcases become food to the flyers of the heavens and to the animals of the earth: ²¹ and I give Sidqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah and his governors into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of them who seek their soul and into the hand of the valiant of the sovereign of Babel, who ascend from you. ²² Behold, I misvah - an oracle of Yah Veh and return them to this city; and they fight against it and capture it and burn it with fire: and I give the cities of Yah Hudah a desolation without a settler.

¹⁰ For though you smite all the valiant of the Kesediym who fight against you, and there survives but wounded men among them, every man rises from his tent to burn this city with fire.

¹⁷ And Sidqi Yah the sovereign sends and takes him out: and in his house the sovereign asks him covertly, and says, Is there a word from Yah Veh? And Yirme Yah says, There is. And he says, You are given into the hand of the sovereign of Babel.

¹⁸ and if you go not to the governors of the sovereign of Babel, then this city is given into the hand of the Kesediym and they burn it with fire; and you escape not from their hand. ¹⁹ And Sidqi Yah the sovereign says to Yirme Yah, I am concerned for the Yah Hudiym who fell to the Kesediym; lest they give me into their hand and they exploit me. ²⁰ And Yirme Yah says, They give you not. Hear, I beseech you, the voice of Yah Veh that I word to you: so it well-pleases you, and your soul lives. ²¹ And if you refuse to go, this is the word Yah Veh shows me: ²² and behold, they bring all the women who survive in the house of the sovereign of Yah Hudah to the governors of the sovereign of Babel; and they say, Your men of shalom goaded you and prevailed against you: your feet have sunk in the mire, and they apostatized backward. ²³ And they bring all your women and your sons to the Kesediym: and you escape not from their hand, for you are apprehended by the hand of the sovereign of Babel: and this city is burned with fire.

² and in the eleventh year of Sidqi Yah, in the fourth month, the ninth of the month, the city is split: ³ and all the governors of the sovereign of Babel come in and sit in the middle portal - Nergal Shareser, Samgar Nebo, Sarsechim the rabbi eunuch, Nergal Shareser the rabbi magi, and all the survivors of the governors of the sovereign of Babel. ⁴ And so be it, Sidqi Yah the sovereign of Yah Hudah and all the men of war see them, and they flee, and go from the city by night by the way of the garden of the sovereign by the portal between the two walls: and he goes the way of the plain. ⁵ And the valiant of the Kesediym pursue them and overtake Sidqi Yah in the plains of Yericho: and they take him and ascend him to Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel to Riblah in the land of Hamath - where he words judgment on him. ⁶ And the sovereign of Babel slaughters the sons of Sidqi Yah in Riblah in front of his eyes: yes, the sovereign of Babel slaughters all the nobles of Yah Hudah: ⁷ and he blinds the eyes of Sidqi Yah and binds him with coppers to carry him to Babel. ⁸ And the Kesediym burn the house of the sovereign and the houses of the people with fire, and break down the walls of Yeru Shalem: ⁹ and Nebu Zaradan the rabbi slaughterer exiles the remnant of the people who survive in the city, and those who fell - who fell to him, with the remnant of the people who survive to Babel:

¹⁰ If you return and settle in this land, then I build you, and break you not; and I plant you, and uproot you not: for I sigh of the evil I worked to you.

¹⁸ For thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El: As my wrath and my fury pours on the settlers of Yeru Shalem; thus my fury pours on you when you enter Misrayim: and you become an oath and a desolation and an abasement and a reproach; and you see this place no more.

¹
THE WARNING OF YIRME YAH
And so be it, Yirme Yah concludes wording all the words of Yah Veh their Elohim to all the people, for which Yah Veh their Elohim sent him to them - all these words,

¹
WARNING CONCERNING IDOLATRY
And so be the word to Yirme Yah concerning all the Yah Hudiym who settle in the land of Misrayim - who settle at Migdol and at Tachpanches and at Noph and in the land of Pathros, saying,

¹² and I take the survivors of Yah Hudah, who set their faces to enter the land of Misrayim to sojourn there: and they all are consumed, and fall in the land of Misrayim; - consumed by the sword and by the famine: they die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they become an oath and a desolation and an abasement and a reproach:

²² And Yah Veh can no longer bear at the face of the evil of your exploits - and at the face of the abhorrences you worked; so your land is a parched area and a desolation and an abasement without a settler, as this day.

²⁶ So hear the word of Yah Veh, all Yah Hudah who settles in the land of Misrayim; Behold, I oath by my great name, says Yah Veh, that my name no more becomes called out in the mouth of any man of Yah Hudah in all the land of Misrayim, saying, Adonay Yah Veh lives. ²⁷ Behold, I watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Yah Hudah in the land of Misrayim are consumed by the sword and by the famine until the consummation. ²⁸ Yet a number of men - escapees from the sword return from the land of Misrayim to the land of Yah Hudah; and all the survivors of Yah Hudah who enter the land of Misrayim to sojourn there, know whose words rise - mine or theirs. ²⁹ And this is your sign - an oracle of Yah Veh that I visit on you in this place, so that you know, that in rising, my words rise against you for evil. ³⁰ Thus says Yah Veh: Behold, I give Paroh Hophra sovereign of Misrayim into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of them who seek his soul: as I gave Sidqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah into the hand of Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel - his enemy who sought his soul.

² And he works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh according to all Yah Yaqim worked. ³ For because of the wrath of Yah Veh it is in Yeru Shalem and Yah Hudah, until he casts them from his face; and Sidqi Yah rebels against the sovereign of Babel. ⁴ And so be it, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel comes - he and all his valiant against Yeru Shalem and encamp against it; and builds battering towers against it all around: ⁵ thus the city comes under siege to the eleventh year of sovereign Sidqi Yah. ⁶ And in the fourth month, in the ninth of the month, the famine prevails in the city, and there is no bread for the people of the land. ⁷ Then the city splits and all the men of war flee; and go from the city by night by the way of the portal between the two walls by the garden of the sovereign - the Kesediym are all around the city; and they go by the way of the plain: ⁸ and the valiant of the Kesediym pursue the sovereign and overtake Sidqi Yah in the plains of Yericho; and all his valiant scatter from him: ⁹ and they apprehend the sovereign, and ascend him to the sovereign of Babel - to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he words judgment on him. ¹⁰ And the sovereign of Babel slaughters the sons of Sidqi Yah in front of his eyes: he also slaughters all the governors of Yah Hudah in Riblah: ¹¹ and he blinds the eyes of Sidqi Yah; and the sovereign of Babel binds him in coppers and carries him to Babel; and gives him in the house of visitation until the day of his death.

¹⁵ All who pass by the way clap their palms at you; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Yeru Shalem, Is this the city of whom is said, Total beauty? - the joy of the whole earth? ¹⁶ All your enemies gasp their mouth against you; they hiss and gnash the teeth; they say, We swallowed her! Surely this is the day we awaited! We found! We saw! ¹⁷ Yah Veh works what he intrigued; he cut the saying he commanded in the days of antiquity; he demolished and spared not; and he has your enemy to cheer over you: he lifts the horn of your tribulators.

¹
THE DESOLATION OF YERU SHALEM
And you, son of humanity, take a sharp sword, take a razor of a barber, and pass it over your head and over your beard: and take balances of weights and allot them. ² A third, burn with flame midst the city when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and take a third, and smite all around with a sword: and a third, scatter in the wind; and I draw a sword after them:

¹² A third of you die with the pestilence - finished off with famine in your midst; and a third fall by the sword all around you; and a third I winnow into all the winds: and I draw out a sword after them.

¹² A third of you die with the pestilence - finished off with famine in your midst; and a third fall by the sword all around you; and a third I winnow into all the winds: and I draw out a sword after them. ¹³ Thus I finish off my wrath and I rest my fury on them, and sigh: and they know that I Yah Veh word in my zeal when I finish off my fury in them.

¹³ Thus I finish off my wrath and I rest my fury on them, and sigh: and they know that I Yah Veh word in my zeal when I finish off my fury in them. ¹⁴ I give you for a parched area; and for a reproach among the goyim around you in the eyes of all who pass by: ¹⁵ and so be it, a reproach and a revilement, a discipline and a desolation to the goyim around you, when I work judgments in you in wrath and in fury and in reproofs of fury. I Yah Veh have worded. ¹⁶ I send on them the evil arrows of famine being for their ruin - which I send to ruin you: and I increase the famine on you and break your rod of bread: ¹⁷ thus I send famine on you; and evil live beings bereave you; and pestilence and blood passes through you; and I bring the sword on you. I Yah Veh have worded.

¹² he who is afar dies of the pestilence; and he who is near falls by the sword; and he who survives and is under guard dies by the famine: thus I finish off my fury on them: ¹³ and you know I - Yah Veh, when their pierced become among their idols all around their sacrifice altars on every high hill in all the tops of the mountains and under every green tree and under every thick oak - in all the places they give a scent of rest to all their idols. ¹⁴ Thus I spread my hand on them and give the land a desolatiom - yes, more desolation than the wilderness toward Riblah in all their sites: and they know I - Yah Veh.

¹⁵ the sword is outside and the pestilence and the famine inside the house: he who is in the field dies with the sword; and he who is in the city famine and pestilence devour him:

¹⁵ Son of humanity, your brothers, your brothers, the men of your redemption, and all the house of Yisra El wholly are those to whom the settlers of Yeru Shalem say, Remove afar from Yah Veh: this land is given to us in possession. ¹⁶
WORD CONCERNING THE RESTORATION OF YISRA EL
So say, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Although I remove them afar from among the goyim, and although I scatter them among the lands, yet I am to them as a little holies in the lands where they go. ¹⁷ So say, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: And I gather you from the people, and assemble you from the countries where you scattered; and I give you the soil of Yisra El

¹⁹ and I give them one heart and I give a new spirit within you; and I turn aside the heart of stone from their flesh and give them an heart of flesh: ²⁰ so that they walk in my statutes and guard my judgments and work them: and they are my people, and I am their Elohim.

¹² and the hierarch among them bears on his shoulder in the dusk, and goes forth: they dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he covers his face so that he sees not the earth with his eyes. ¹³ and I spread my net on him, and apprehend him in my lure: and I bring him to Babel to the land of the Kesediym; yet he sees it not, though he dies there: ¹⁴ and toward every wind I winnow all who are all around him to help him - and all his bands; and I draw out the sword after them: ¹⁵ and they know I - Yah Veh when I winnow them among the goyim and disperse them in the lands. ¹⁶ And I leave of them remaining from the sword from the famine and from the pestilence so that they scribe all their abhorrences among the goyim where they go; and they know I - Yah Veh.

¹² And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ¹³ Son of humanity, when the land sins against me in treasoning a treason, then I spread my hand thereon and break the rod of the bread and send famine thereon; and cut off humanity and animal from it: ¹⁴ and there are three men in the midst, - Noach, Dani El, and Iyob who rescued their own souls by their justness - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. ¹⁵ If I pass evil live beings through the land, and they bereave, and it becomes desolate, so that no man passes through at the face of the live beings ¹⁶ - these three men in the midst thereof, I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh they rescue neither sons nor daughters; they only are rescued, and the land becomes desolate. ¹⁷ Or, I bring a sword on that land, and say, Sword, pass through the land; so that I cut off humanity and animal from it: ¹⁸ and these three men in the midst thereof - I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh they rescue neither sons nor daughters, for they only are rescued. ¹⁹ Or, I send a pestilence into that land and pour my fury thereon in blood - to cut off humanity and animal therefrom: ²⁰ and Noach, Dani El, and Iyob are in the midst - I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh they rescue neither son nor daughter; they rescue their own souls by their justness. ²¹ For thus says Adonay Yah Veh; How much more when I send my four evil judgments on Yeru Shalem - the sword and the famine and the evil live being and the pestilence - to cut it off from humanity and animal?

² Son of humanity, what is the vine tree more than any tree, - a twig among the trees of the forest? ³ Is timber taken to work any work? Or a stake taken to hang any instrument thereon? ⁴ Behold, it is given into the fire for fuel; the fire consumes both the ends thereof and scorches the midst thereof. Prospers it for work? ⁵ Behold, in being integrious, it works no work: How much less work works it when the fire consumes and scorches?

¹¹ And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ¹² Say, I beseech, to the rebellious house, Know you not what these are? Tell, Behold, the sovereign of Babel comes to Yeru Shalem, and takes the sovereign and the governors and leads them with him to Babel: ¹³ and takes of the seed of the kingdom and cuts a covenant with him and takes an oath of him: he also takes the mighty of the land: ¹⁴ so that the sovereigndom becomes lowly - that it not lift itself; to guard his covenant, so that it stands. ¹⁵ And he rebels against him by sending his angels into Misrayim, so that they give him horses and much people. Prospers he? Escapes he who works such? Or, breaks he the covenant and escapes? ¹⁶ I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh in the place of the sovereign who has him reign - whose oath he despises and whose covenant he breaks, dies he not with him midst Babel? ¹⁷ Not even Paroh with his great valiant and great congregation works for him in the war by pouring mounds, and building battering towers to cut off many souls: ¹⁸ seeing he despises the oath by breaking the covenant, and behold, he gives his hand to work all these; he escapes not. ¹⁹ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I live! My oath that he despises, and my covenant that he breaks, give I not on his own head? ²⁰ And I spread my net on him and apprehend him in my lure; and I bring him to Babel, and there I plead with him for the treason he treasons against me: ²¹ and all his fugitives with all his bands fall by the sword; and scatter them who survive toward all winds: and you know that I Yah Veh have worded.

⁹ and with hooks they give him in a cage, and bring him to the sovereign of Babel: they bring him into the huntholds so that his voice is heard no more on the mountains of Yisra El.

³ and say to the sons of Ammon, Hear the word of Adonay Yah Veh; Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you say, Aha! against my holies, when it profanes; and against the soil of Yisra El, when it desolates; and against the house of Yah Hudah, when they go into exile;

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.

²⁷ You, say thus to them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I live! Surely they in the parched areas fall by the sword, and him in the face of the field I give to the live beings to devour; and they in the huntholds and in the caves die of the pestilence.

² Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because the enemy says against you, Aha, even the eternal bamahs are for us in possession: ³ so prophesy and say, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because - yes, because they desolate you and swallow you all around to be a possession to the survivors of the goyim, and ascend you on the lips of tongues - a slander of the people:

²⁴ For I take you from among the goyim and gather you from all lands and bring you into your own soil:

²⁴ For I take you from among the goyim and gather you from all lands and bring you into your own soil: ²⁵ and I sprinkle pure water on you and purify you: from all your foulness and from all your idols I purify you: ²⁶ and I give you a new heart and a new spirit I give within you: and I turn aside the stony heart from your flesh and I give you an heart of flesh: ²⁷ and I give my spirit within you so that you work to walk in my statutes and guard my judgments and work them ²⁸ and I settle you in the land I gave your fathers: and you become my people and I become your Elohim:

²³ neither foul they themselves with their idols any more nor with their abominations nor with any of their rebellions: and I save them from all their sites wherein they sinned and purify them: so they are my people, and I am their Elohim.

²⁷ My tabernacle also is with them: yes, I am their Elohim and they become my people:

¹⁰ I find Yisra El as grapes in the wilderness; I see your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her beginning: they - they go to Baal Peor, and separate themselves to shame - their abominations are as their love.

¹
YAH VEH APPEALS TO YISRA EL
O Yisra El, return to Yah Veh your Elohim; for you falter by your perversity. ² Take with you words, and turn to Yah Veh: say to him, Bear all perversity and take the goodly: thus we shalam the bulllocks of our lips. ³ Neither Ashshur saves us; nor ride we on horses: nor say we any more to the work of our hands, Our elohim: for in you the orphan is mercied.

⁷ Surely Adonay Yah Veh works no word; unless he exposes his private counsel to his servants the prophets.

¹
WARNING VISIONS
Thus Adonay Yah Veh shows me; and behold, he forms grubbers in the beginning of the ascending of the after growth; and behold, it is the latter growth after the shearings of the sovereign.

⁴ Thus Adonay Yah Veh shows me: and behold, Adonay Yah Veh calls to contend by fire; and it consumes the great abyss and eats an allotment.

⁷ Thus he has me see: and behold, Adonay stations a plumb line on a wall and a plumb line in his hand. ⁸ And Yah Veh says to me, Amos, what see you? And I say, A plumbline. Then Yah Veh Adonay says, Behold, I set a plumbline among my people Yisra El: I add not to pass by them any more:

¹
THE BASKET OF SUMMER FRUIT
Thus Adonay Yah Veh shows me, and behold, a basket of summer fruit: ² and he says, Amos, what see you? And I say, A basket of summer fruit. And Yah Veh says to me, The end comes on my people of Yisra El; I add not to pass by them any more.

² and he says, Amos, what see you? And I say, A basket of summer fruit. And Yah Veh says to me, The end comes on my people of Yisra El; I add not to pass by them any more.

¹
WOE IS YISRA EL
Woe is me! As the ingathering of the summer fruits; as the gleanings of the crop; there is no cluster to eat: my soul desires the firstling fruit:

⁷ Yah Veh is good, a strength in the day of tribulation; and he knows them who seek refuge in him.

²⁰
THE FOUR ENGRAVERS
And Yah Veh shows me four engravers:

¹
YAH SHUA THE GREAT PRIEST
And he shows me Yah Shua the great priest standing at the face of the angel of Yah Veh; and Satan standing at his right to oppose him.

² and says to me, What see you? And I say, I see, and behold, a menorah all of gold with a bowl on the top of it and his seven lamps on it and seven tubes to the seven lamps on the top:

² and he says to me, What see you? And I say, I see a flying roll; the length twenty cubits and the breadth ten cubits.

⁵ And the angel wording with me comes and says to me, Lift your eyes, and see what this is that goes. ⁶ And I say, What is it? And he says, This is the ephah coming. And he says, This is their eye through all the earth. ⁷ And behold, a round of lead lifting: and this is one woman sitting midst the ephah. ⁸ And he says, This is wickedness! - and he casts it midst the ephah; and he casts the stone of lead on the mouth. ⁹ And I lift my eyes and see, and behold, two women come with the wind in their wings; - wings as the wings of a stork: and they lift the ephah between the earth and between the heavens. ¹⁰ Then I say to the angel wording with me, Where carry they the ephah? ¹¹ And he says to me, To build a house in the land of Shinar: and to establish and set there on her own.

⁸ and I bring them, and they tabernacle midst Yeru Shalem: and they become my people, and I am their Elohim in truth and in justness.

⁹ and I bring the third through the fire and refine them as the refining of silver, and proof them as the proofing of gold: they call on my name, and I answer them: I say, My people: and they say, Yah Veh, My Elohim.

¹² And you profane it, saying, The table of Yah Veh is profane; and the fruit, his food, contemptible. ¹³ You also say, Behold, what trouble! and you puff at it, says Yah Veh Sabaoth; and you bring the stripped and the lame and the sick. Thus bring you an offering: of your hand that pleases? says Yah Veh. ¹⁴ And cursed is the deceiver who has a male in his drove; and vows and sacrifices a ruin to Adonay: for I am a great Sovereign, says Yah Veh Sabaoth; and my name is awesome among the goyim.

¹³
THE POSITION OF THE TRUSTER
You are the salt of the earth: but whenever the salt becomes insipid, with what salt we? It is able for naught but to cast out, and for humanity to trample.

¹² And he answers, saying, Amen! I word to you, I know you not.

³² and all goyim gather in front of him: and he sets them apart one from another, exactly as a shepherd sets apart his sheep from the goats: ³³ and indeed he sets the sheep at his right and the goats at the left.

²⁷ My sheep hear my voice and I know them; and they follow me:

¹⁷ And charism to Elohim, that you, having been the servants of sin, and from the heart you obeyed that type of doctrine wherein you were delivered.

²⁸ And we know that all co-works to good to them who love Elohim, to them being the called according to his prothesis.

³ And if anyone loves Elohim, he knows this .

⁹ But now, knowing Elohim - or rather Elohim knowing us, how return you to the frail and poor elements, to which you uppermostly will to be in servitude?

¹⁹ But yet indeed the foundation of Elohim still stands solid - having this seal, Yah Veh knows who are his. And, Everyone who names the name of Messiah departs from injustice. ^{Nahum 1:7, John 10:14}

¹⁰ For this is the covenant I covenant with the house of Yisra El: After those days, words Yah Veh; I give my torah in their mind and epigraph them in their hearts: and I become to them - Elohim and they become to me - people:

¹⁶ But now they reach for a better - that is, the heavenlies: so Elohim shames not to be called their Elohim: for he prepared them a city.

⁵ and you are utterly oblivious to the consolation which reasons to you as to sons, My son, neither disregard the discipline of Yah Veh, nor weaken when he reproves you: ⁶ for Yah Veh disciplines whom he loves and scourges every son he receives. ^{Proverbs 3:11, 12 7} If you endure discipline, Elohim offers you as with sons; for what son is there whom the father disciplines not? ⁸ And if you are apart from discipline, whereof all become partakers, then you are bastards and not sons. ⁹ So indeed we have fathers of our flesh who discipline us and we respect them: and not much rather subjugate to the Father of spirits and live? ¹⁰ For they indeed, for a few days, discipline after their well-thinking; but he for our benefit that we partake of his holiness.

¹² Because the eyes of Yah Veh are over the just and his ears to their petitions: but the face of Yah Veh is against them who do evil.

¹⁹ As many as ever I befriend I reprove and discipline: so be zealous and repent.
