SOPHAR ANSWERS
And Sophar the Naamahiy answers and says, ² So my sentiments have me respond and for this I hasten. ³ I hear the discipline of my reproach and my spirit of discernment answers. ⁴ Know you this eternally - since placing humanity on earth, ⁵ that the shouting of the wicked is near? and the cheer of the profaner is for a blink? ⁶ Though his exaltation ascend to the heavens and his head touch the thick clouds; ⁷ as his own dung, he destructs in perpetuity; they who see him say, Where is he? ⁸ He flies as a dream and is not found; yes, - chased away as a vision of the night. ⁹ Neither the eye scans to add to see him; nor his place observes him any more. ¹⁰ His sons seek to please the poor and his hands restore their strength. ¹¹ His bones lie down with him in the dust; - full of his youth. ¹² Though evil sweetens in his mouth, though he conceals it under his tongue; ¹³ though he spares it and forsakes it not; and withholds it still within his palate; ¹⁴ yet his bread in his inwards turns - the venom of asps within him. ¹⁵ He swallows valuables and vomits them; El dispossess them from his belly; ¹⁶ he sucks the rosh of asps the tongue of the hisser slaughters him; ¹⁷ he sees not the rivulets, the floods, the wadies of honey and butter. ¹⁸ He restores that for which he labors but swallows not; as his valuables, thus the exchange - and he leaps not for joy. ¹⁹ He crushes - he forsakes the poor; he strips a house he built not; ²⁰ surely he knows no serenity in his belly; he rescues none of his desires: ²¹ none of his food survives; so no one writhes his goods. ²² In the fulness of his gluttony, he constricts; every hand of the wicked comes on him. ²³ In the fulness of his belly, he sends his fuming wrath on him - rains on him while he eats. ²⁴ He flees from the iron armour and the bow of copper passes through him; ²⁵ - drawn and comes from his body; yes, the lightning sword comes from his gall; with terrors on him. ²⁶ All darkness hides in his hideouts; a fire not puffed consumes him; it goes evilly with him who survives in his tent. ²⁷ The heavens expose his perversity; and the earth rises against him: ²⁸ the produce of his house exposes and flows away in the day of his wrath. ²⁹ This is the allotment of wicked humanity by Elohim and the inheritance of his sayings by El.

THE THREE FRIENDS OF IYOB
And the three friends of Iyob hear of all this evil coming upon him, and each man comes from his own place; Eli Phaz the Temaniy and Bildad the Shuachiy and Sophar the Naamahiy; for they come to congregate together to wag with him and to sigh with him.

¹
SOPHAR ANSWERS
And Sophar the Naamahiy answers and says,

⁹ And Eli Phaz the Temaniy and Bildad the Shuachiy and Sophar the Naamahiy go and work according as Yah Veh words them; and Yah Veh lifts the face of Iyob.

² If one tests a word with you, you weary; but who can refrain himself from utterances?

¹⁹ Who contends with me? for now, if I hush, I expire.

³ I hear the discipline of my reproach and my spirit of discernment answers.

¹³ lest you say, We have found out wisdom; El disperses him - not man. ¹⁴ Neither arranged he his utterances against me; nor respond I to your sayings. ¹⁵ They are dismayed; they answer no more; they remove from uttering: ¹⁶ I await, they word not; but stand still and answer no more. ¹⁷ I also answer my allotment; I also show my knowledge: ¹⁸ for I am full of utterances, the spirit of my belly distresses me. ¹⁹ Behold, my belly - as unopened wine - to split as new skins. ²⁰ I word, and I respire; I open my lips, and answer.

²² And I - I say in my haste, I am cut off in front of your eyes! - surely you hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to you.

² I am mute with silence; I hush from good; and my pain troubles me: ³ my heart heats within me; as I meditate, the fire burns. I word with my tongue,

¹¹ I said in my haste, All humans are liars.

²⁹ He who is slow to wrath is of great discernment; and he who is quick of spirit exalts folly.

²⁰ See a man hasty in words? There is more hope of a fool than of him.

⁹ Be not hasty in your spirit to be vexed; for vexation rests in the bosom of fools.

⁹ Then I say, I neither mention him, nor word any more in his name: and it is in my heart as a burning fire restrained in my bones: and I am weary with containing and I am not able:

²⁵ And straightway she enters with diligence to the sovereign and asks, wording, I will that you give me, immediately on a platter, the head of Yahn the Baptizer.

² For I witness that they have a zeal of Elohim - but not according to knowledge:

¹⁹ So then, my beloved brothers, thus be every human: quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

³ These ten times you shame me yet you shame not that you injure me.

²⁹ Dodge you at the face of the sword? Furious are the perversities of the sword, so that you know there is the plea.

² So my sentiments have me respond and for this I hasten.

¹¹ I teach you by the hand of El; what is with Shadday I conceal not.

³ my sayings are of the straightness of my heart; and my lips utter knowledge purely.

³ My mouth words of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart of discernment:

² I open my mouth in a proverb; I gush riddles of antiquity ³ which we hear and know; which our fathers scribed unto us; ⁴ we conceal them not from their sons - scribing to the generation after the halals of Yah Veh: and his strength and his marvels he worked. ⁵ And he raises a witness in Yaaqov and sets a torah in Yisra El - which he misvahed our fathers to make known to their sons;

²⁸ And Elohim blesses them and Elohim says unto them, Bear fruit; and abound and fill the earth and subdue: and subjugate over the fish of the sea and over the flyers of the heavens and over every live being creeping on the earth.

¹
THE BOW COVENANT OF ELOHIM
And Elohim blesses Noach and his sons and says to them, Bear fruit and abound and fill the earth. ² And the awesomeness of you and the terror of you becomes on every live being of the earth and on every flyer of the heavens, on all who creep on the soil and on all the fishes of the sea; into your hand they are given. ³ Every living creeper is for you; even as the green herb, I give you all.

⁸ I beseech you, enquire of the first age; prepare yourself to the probing of their fathers; ⁹ - for we are of yesterday and know naught, because our days on earth are a shadow.

¹⁰ With us are both the grayed and the aged, more advanced in days than your father.

⁷ I say, Days word; and abundance of years make wisdom known.

¹⁶ The heavens - the heavens, are to Yah Veh; but he gives the earth to the sons of humanity.

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.

²¹ And the Peleshethiy possess him and bore out his eyes; and bring him down to Azzah and bind him with fetters of copper; and he grinds in the house of binding: ²² and after he is shaven the hair of his head begins to sprout. ²³
THE DEATH OF SHIMSHON
Then the ringleaders of the Peleshethiy gather together to sacrifice a great sacrifice to Dagon their elohim and to cheer: for they say, Our elohim gives Shimshon our enemy into our hand. ²⁴ And when the people see him, they halal their elohim: for they say, Into our hands our elohim delivers our enemy and the parcher of our land, who abounded our pierced. ²⁵ And so be it, when their hearts are goodly, they say, Call for Shimshon to entertain us. - and they call for Shimshon from the house of binding; and he entertains them: and they stand him between the pillars. ²⁶ And Shimshon says to the lad holding him by the hand, Allow me to touch the pillars whereupon the house is established - to lean on them. ²⁷ And the house is full of men and women; and all the ringleaders of the Peleshethiy are there - and on the roof about three thousand men and women see while Shimshon entertains. ²⁸ And Shimshon calls to Yah Veh, and says, O Adonay Yah Veh, remember me, I beseech you; strengthen me, I beseech you, only, this one time, O Elohim, to avenge the avengement of the Peleshethiy for my two eyes. ²⁹ And Shimshon clasps the two middle pillars whereon the house is established and whereon it is propped - the one with his right and the one with his left. ³⁰ And Shimshon says, O that my soul die with the Peleshethiy. - and he spreads himself with force; and the house falls on the ringleaders and on all the people therein. So the dead he deathified at his death are greater than those he deathified in his life.

¹¹ and Haman scribes them of the honor of his riches and the abundance of his sons and all those wherein the sovereign greatens him; and how he lifts him above the governors and servants of the sovereign. ¹² And Haman says, Yes, Ester the sovereigness has no man come in with the sovereign to the banquet she works, except me; and tomorrow also I am called to her with the sovereign.

¹⁰ - and they hang Haman on the tree he prepared for Mordekay - and the fury of the sovereign is assuaged.

³ I see the foolish taking root; but suddenly I curse his habitation of rest.

¹² While it is yet in unripeness and not plucked, it withers at the face of any herb. ¹³ Thus are the paths of all who forget El; and the hope of the profaner destructs

¹⁹ Behold the joy of his way, and others sprout from the dust.

²⁹ He neither enriches, neither his valuables arise, nor his acquisitions spread on the earth; ³⁰ nor turns aside from darkness. The flame withers his sprouts and by the wind/spirit of his mouth he turns aside. ³¹ He who strays, trusts not in vanity; for vanity is his exchange; ³² - so be it neither fulfilled in his day nor his palm leaf green; ³³ he violates his sour grape as the vine and casts his blossom as the olive. ³⁴ For the witness of profaners sterilizes; and fire consumes the tents of bribery:

⁵ Yes, the light of the wicked extinguishes and the flame of his fire illuminates not; ⁶ the light darkens in his tent and his lamp extinguishes with him;

⁸ For what is the hope of the profaner, though he gains, when Elohah extracts his soul?

¹³ This is the allotment of wicked humanity with El; and the inheritance of tyrants which they take of Shadday. ¹⁴ If his sons abound, it is for the sword; and his offspring satisfy not with bread: ¹⁵ his survivors entomb in death and his widows weep not: ¹⁶ though he heaps silver as the dust and prepares robes as the clay: ¹⁷ he prepares, and the just enrobe; and the innocent allot the silver: ¹⁸ he builds his house as a moth and as a sukkoth/brush arbor which the guardian works. ¹⁹ The rich lies down, and he is not gathered; he opens his eyes, and he is not: ²⁰ terrors overtake him as waters; a hurricane steals him away in the night: ²¹ the easterly lifts him and he goes - whirls him from his place: ²² and casts on him and spares not; in fleeing, he flees from his hand. ²³ They clap their palms at him and hiss him from his place.

³⁵ I saw the wicked tyrant stripped naked as a green native; ³⁶ yet he passes away; and behold, he is not; yes, I seek him, but find him not.

¹⁸ Surely you set them in smooth places; you cast them down into ruins: ¹⁹ how they become a desolation - as in a blink! in consuming, they are consumed with terrors. ²⁰ As a dream on wakening, O Adonay, when you waken, you despise their image.

²¹
PSEUDO PROFESSORS
Not everyone who words to me, Adonay! Adonay! enters the sovereigndom of the heavens; but whoever does the will of my Father in the heavens.

²⁰ And that spored on the rocky is whoever hears the word: and straightway takes it with cheer; ²¹ yet has he no root in himself but is temporary: for when tribulation or persecution become because of the word, he is straightway scandalized.

²² And the public shouts, The voice of an el and not of a human! ²³ And immediately an angel of Yah Veh smites him because he gives not Elohim the glory: and he becomes eaten of maggots and expires:

⁴ and each proofs his own work and then he boasts in himself alone and not in another:

¹⁶ And now you boast in your boastings: all such boasting is evil.

⁴ And they say, Give, we build us a city and a tower whose top is to the heavens; and we work us a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the face of the whole earth.

¹³ For you said in your heart, I ascend into the heavens: I exalt my throne above the stars of El: and I sit upon the mount of the congregation in the flanks of the north: ¹⁴ I ascend above the bamahs of the thick clouds - like Elyon.

¹¹ the tree greatens and empowers; and the height spreads to the heavens, and the sight to the consummation of all the earth:

²² it is you, O sovereign, who greatens and empowers: for your greatness greatens and spreads to the heavens, and your dominion to the consummation of the earth.

² And if they dig into sheol my hand takes them from there; and if they ascend to the heavens I bring them down from there:

³ the arrogance of your heart deceives you - you who tabernacle in the clefts of the rock; whose settlement is high; he says in his heart, Who descends me to the earth? ⁴ Though you heighten as the eagle and though you set your nest among the stars, I descend you from there - an oracle of Yah Veh.

²³ And you, Kaphar Nachum - exalted to the heavens to descend to sheol/hades: for if the dynamis that became in you had become in Sedom, it had abode until this day.

¹⁰ therefore, behold, I bring evil on the house of Yarob Am, and cut off from Yarob Am him who urinates against the wall, him who restrains and is left in Yisra El; and burn away the posterity of the house of Yarob Am as a man burns away dung balls until they are consumed:

³⁷ and the carcase of Iy Zebel becomes as dung on the face of the field in the allotment of Yizre El; so that they not say, This is Iy Zebel.

²⁰ - crushed from morning to evening; they destruct in perpetuity without setting:

¹⁰ he neither returns to his house, nor his place recognizes him again.

¹⁸ If he is swallowed from his place, then they deny saying, I see you not.

¹⁰ the mighty dies and decays; yes, humanity expires - and where is he?

¹⁰ desolated at En Dor, to become as dung for the soil.

² and they spread them to the sun and the moon and all the host of the heavens - whom they loved and whom they served and after whom they walked and whom they sought and to whom they prostrated: they are neither gathered nor entombed; they are for dung on the face of the soil:

¹⁸ he is exiled from light into darkness and chased from the world.

¹⁰ he rides on a cherub and flies; yes, he flies on the wings of the wind:

²⁰ As a dream on wakening, O Adonay, when you waken, you despise their image.

⁵ Floodborne, as asleep; in the morning, as grass that changes.

⁷ and the multitude of all the goyim hosting against Ari El, even all her host and her hunthold, even those distressing her, become as a dream of a night vision. ⁸ And so be it, as when the famished dream: and behold, he eats; and he wakens and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; and he wakens, and behold, he languishes, and his soul yearns: thus is the multitude of all the goyim who host against mount Siyon.

⁸ The eye of him who sees me lurks not; your eyes are on me, and I am not.

⁷ as his own dung, he destructs in perpetuity; they who see him say, Where is he?

³ for all the while my breath is in me and the spirit of Elohah in my nostrils:

¹⁰ For yet a little, and the wicked are not; yes, discern his place and it is not:

³⁶ yet he passes away; and behold, he is not; yes, I seek him, but find him not.

¹⁵ Man - his days are as grass - as a blossom of the field, thus he blossoms. ¹⁶ For the wind overpasses and is not; and recognizes the place no more:

² for if you refuse to send them away and still hold them,

³⁶ and Yah Veh grants the people charism in the eyes of the Misrayim, - asking and stripping the Misrayim.

¹
JUDGMENTS FOR PROPERTIES
If a man steals an ox, or a lamb and slaughters or sells it; he shalams five oxen for an ox and four flocks for a lamb.

³ If the sun rises on him, pour his blood; in shalaming, he shalams: if he has naught, sell him for his theft.

⁶ and have him shalam fourfold for the ewe lamb because he works this word, and finally, has no compassion.

⁴ His children are far from salvation - crushed in the portal, none to rescue them;

¹⁸ He restores that for which he labors but swallows not; as his valuables, thus the exchange - and he leaps not for joy.

¹⁶ though he heaps silver as the dust and prepares robes as the clay: ¹⁷ he prepares, and the just enrobe; and the innocent allot the silver:

¹⁰ in wandering, that his sons wander; yes, ask; and seek from their parched areas.

³¹ and being found out, he shalams sevenfold; he gives all the wealth of his house.

³ An impoverished mighty who oppress the poor is a sweeping rain which leaves no bread.

⁸ And Zakkay stands, and says to Adonay: Behold, Adonay, the half of my holdings I give to the poor; and if I have sycophanted ought from anyone, I give fourfold.

²⁶ For you inscribe bitternesses against me that I possess the perversities of my youth.

²⁰ my bone adheres to my skin and to my flesh and I escape with the skin of my t`eeth.

²⁶ Together they lie in the dust; the maggots cover them.

⁷ remember neither the sins of my youth nor my rebellions: according to your mercy remember me for sake of your goodness, O Yah Veh.

¹¹ and you growl at the finality when your flesh and your meat finish off, ¹² and say, How I hated discipline and my heart scorned reproof: ¹³ and I neither obeyed the voice of my teachers nor spread my ear to them who taught me:

²² His own perversities capture the wicked - upheld by the cords of his own sins: ²³ he dies without discipline; and in the greatness of his folly he errs inadvertently.

³² The wicked is overthrown in his evil; and the just seek refuge in his death.

¹³ In your foulness is intrigue: because I purify you; and you purify not: you purify not from your foulness any more until I rest my fury on you.

²⁷ and they not lie with the mighty - the fallen of the uncircumcised, who descend to sheol with their instruments of war: and they give their swords under their heads, and their perversities are on their bones, for the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.

²¹ So Yah Shua says to them again, I go my way; and you seek me; and die in your sins: where I go, you cannot come.

²⁴ so I say to you, that you die in your sins; for whenever you trust not that I AM, you die in your sins.

²⁵ to take his lot of this ministry and apostleship from which Yah Hudah transgressed to go to his own place.

⁶ And the woman sees the tree is good for food and desirable to the eyes and a tree to desire to comprehend; and she takes of the fruit thereof and eats; and also gives to her man with her; and he eats.

¹⁶ How much more abhorrent and muddled is man, who drinks wickedness as water?

⁷ His mouth is full of oaths and deceits and fraud; under his tongue is toil and mischief;

¹⁷ As he loves to abase, thus it approaches him; as he delights not in blessing, so be it far from him: ¹⁸ he enrobes abasing as tailoring, thus it enters his inwards as water - as ointment into his bones:

¹⁷ Stolen waters sweeten and covert bread pleases! ¹⁸ - and he knows not that ghosts are there; and that her called ones are in the depths of sheol.

¹⁷ Bread of falsehood is pleasant to a man; and afterward his mouth is filled with gravel.

⁹ Cheer, O youth, in your youth; that your heart better you in the days of your youth; walk in the ways of your heart and in the visage of your eyes; and know this: that for all these Elohim brings you into judgment.

¹⁸ and say to the people, hallow youselves by the morrow, and eat flesh: for you wept in the ears of Yah Veh, saying, Who feeds us flesh? For it was good with us in Misrayim! And Yah Veh gave you flesh and you ate ¹⁹ - you ate, neither one day nor two days nor five days nor ten days nor twenty days ²⁰ - but a month of days, until it came out your nostrils and became strange to you - because you spurned Yah Veh who is among you and wept at his face, saying, Why came we from Misrayim?

²⁹
AVOIDING GAY HINNOM/THE VALLEY OF BURNING
And if your right eye scandalizes you pluck it out and cast it from you: for it is beneficial for you that one of your members destruct, and not your whole body cast into Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning. ³⁰ And if your right hand scandalizes you, exscind it and cast it from you: for it is beneficial for you that one of your members destruct, and not your whole body cast into Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning.

⁴³
AMPUTATE WHEN NECESSARY
And whenever your hand scandalizes you, amputate: it is good for you to enter life maimed, rather than two hands go in Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning - into the fire unquenchable: ⁴⁴ where their maggot dies not and the fire quenches not. ⁴⁵ And whenever your foot scandalizes you, amputate: it is good for you to enter life lame, rather than two feet cast in Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning - in the fire unquenchable: ⁴⁶ where their maggot dies not and the fire quenches not. ⁴⁷ And whenever your eye scandalizes you, cast it out: it is good for you to enter the sovereigndom of Elohim one-eyed, rather than two eyes cast in Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning fire: ⁴⁸ where their maggot dies not, and the fire quenches not. ⁴⁹ For everyone is to be salted with fire and every sacrifice salted with salt:

¹³ For if you live after flesh, you are about to die: but if you, through Spirit, deathify the functions of the body, you live.

²⁴ Exhausted by famine, devoured by burning heat and bitter ruin: I also send the teeth of animals on them, with the poison of creepers of the dust.

² And so be it, at evening time, David rises from his bed and walks on the roof of the house of the sovereign: and from the roof he sees a woman baptizing herself; and the woman is of mighty good visage. ³ And David sends and enquires after the woman and says, Is not this Bath Sheba the daughter of Eli Am the woman of Uri Yah the Hethiy? ⁴ And David sends angels and takes her; and she comes in to him and he lies down with her; and she hallows herself from her foulness and returns to her house. ⁵ And the woman conceives and sends and tells David and says, I conceive.

¹⁰ and now the sword turns not aside from your house eternally; finally, you despised me and took the woman of Uri Yah the Hethiy to be your woman. ¹¹ Thus says Yah Veh, Behold, I raise evil against you from your own house and I take your women in front of your eyes and give them to your friend: to lie down with your women in the eyes of this sun.

¹⁶ he sucks the rosh of asps the tongue of the hisser slaughters him;

³ When I hush, my bones become worn through my roaring all day long: ⁴ when by day and night your hand is heavy on me; my moisture turns into the parch of summer. Selah.

¹ By David; To remember. O Yah Veh, neither reprove me in your rage nor discipline me in your fury: ² for your arrows penetrate me and your hand penetrates me. ³ There is neither integrity in my flesh at the face of your rage; nor any shalom in my bones at the face of my sin. ⁴ For my perversities pass over my head; as a heavy burden, too heavy for me: ⁵ my wounds stink and dissolve at the face of my folly: ⁶ I bend; I prostrate mightily; I go darkened all the day long: ⁷ for my flanks are filled with scorching - no soundness in my flesh. ⁸ I am exhausted and mighty crushed; I roar from the growling of my heart:

⁸ have me hear rejoicing and cheerfulness; so that the bones you crush twirl. ⁹ Hide your face from my sins and wipe out all my perversities;

³¹ they eat of the fruit of their own way and satiate with their own counsels:

²⁰ Be not among carousers of wine - among gluttons of flesh; ²¹ for the carouser and the glutton become dispossessed; and drowsiness enrobes with shreds.

²⁹ Who has woe? Who has will? Who has contentions? Who has meditation? Who has wounds gratuitously? Who has flushness of eyes? ³⁰ They who linger at the wine; they who go to probe cocktails. ³¹ See not on the wine when it reddens - when it gives its eye in the pouch - when it passes in straightnesses: ³² and finally bites as a serpent and wounds as a hisser. ³³ Your eyes see strange women and your heart words perversions: ³⁴ yes, you - as he who lies in the heart of the sea - as he who lies on the top of a mast. ³⁵ They smote me, and I was not sick; they hammered me, and I knew it not. When waken I? I seek it again and again.

¹⁹ Your own evil disciplines you and your own apostasies reprove you: so know and see that it is evil and bitter to forsake Yah Veh your Elohim, and that my fear is not in you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth.

² If you hear not and if you set not to heart to give honor to my name, says Yah Veh Sabaoth, I send a curse on you and I curse your blessings: yes, I also curse, because you set it not to heart.

¹³ Their larynx is an open tomb; they deceive with their tongues; the venom of asps is under their lips;

⁸ Vomit the morsel you ate and ruin your pleasant words.

³
THE REGRET OF YAH HUDAH
Then Yah Hudah, who betrayed him, seeing he is condemned, regrets, and brings again the thirty silvers to the archpriests and elders; ⁴ wording, I sinned in betraying guiltless blood. And they say, What is that to us? You see to that.

⁶
THE BURDEN OF THE ANIMALS OF THE SOUTH
The burden of the animals of the south: Into the land of tribulation and distress from whence the roaring lion and the old lion, the hisser and flying seraph - who bear their valuables on the shoulders of colts and their treasures on the humps of camels to a people who benefit them not.

⁷
YAHN THE BAPTIZER DERIDES THE PHARISEES AND SADOQIYM
But he sees many of the Pharisees and Sadoqiym come to his baptism: and he says to them, O progeny of vipers, who exemplifies you to flee from the wrath about to be?

³
VIPER SEIZES THE HAND OF PAULOS
And Paulos ties a a multitude of kindling, and puts them on the fire; and a viper comes from the heat and seizes his hand. ⁴ And when the barbarians see the beast hang from his hand, they word among one another, Most certainly this human is a murderer, whom, though being saved from the sea, yet judgment allows not to live. ⁵ So indeed he shakes off the beast into the fire and suffers no evil. ⁶ But they watch for when he ought to inflame, or suddenly fall down dead: but after they await much and observe naught inordinate become him, they change their minds, and word that he is an El.

²³ neither they see the land I oathed to their fathers, nor any who scorn me see it

¹³ He rides him on the bamahs of the earth, to eat the produce of the fields; to suck honey from the rock and oil from the flinty rock ¹⁴ - butter of oxen and milk of flocks with fat of rams and rams of the sons of Bashan and he goats, with the fat of reins of wheat; and you drink the fermented blood of the grape.

²⁹ and honey and butter and flock and cheese of oxen for David and for the people with him, to eat: for they say, The people famish and languish and thirst in the wilderness.

² Then a tertiary on whose hand the sovereign leans answers the man of Elohim and says, Behold, though Yah Veh work windows in the heavens, how becomes this word? And he says, Behold, you see with your eyes and eat not thereof.

⁶ when I bathed my steps with butter and the rock poured me rivulets of oil;

⁸ they satiate with the fatness of your house; you water them from the wadi of your pleasures: ⁹ for the fountain of life is with you; in your light we see light.

¹⁶ he feeds them with the fat of the wheat; and satisfies you with honey from the rock.

¹⁵ he eats butter and honey to know to refuse the evil and choose the good:

²² and so be it, for the abundance of milk that they work he eats butter: for every one who remains in the land eats butter and honey.

¹⁷ The humble and needy seek water and there is none; and their tongue dries for thirst and I Yah Veh answer them; I Elohim of Yisra El forsake them not.

⁶ And he becomes as the naked in the plain, and sees not when good comes; and tabernacles in the scorches in the wilderness - in a salt land, not settled. ⁷ Blessed - the mighty who confide in Yah Veh, and whose confidence is in Yah Veh: ⁸ who is as a tree transplanted by the waters who spreads her roots by the stream; and sees not when heat comes, her leaf is green - neither concerned in the year of drought nor departs from working fruit.

²⁴ And he voices out and says, Father Abraham, mercy me, and send El Azar to baptize the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I grieve in this flame.

¹
THE THRONE, STREAM, AND STAFF OF LIFE OF THE NEW YERU SHALEM
And he shows me a pure stream of water of life radiant as crystaline proceeding from the throne of Elohim and of the Lamb.

⁵ that the shouting of the wicked is near? and the cheer of the profaner is for a blink?

¹⁰ His sons seek to please the poor and his hands restore their strength.

¹⁵ He swallows valuables and vomits them; El dispossess them from his belly;

²⁵ if I cheer because my valuables are great and because my hand found much;

²⁹ If I cheer at the calamity of my hater, or waken when evil finds him;

¹² we swallow them alive as sheol; the integrious, as those who descend into the well;

⁷ the juice mourns; the vine languishes; all the cheerful sigh: ⁸ the joy of tambourines shabbathizes; the uproar of them who jump for joy ceases; the joy of the harp shabbathizes: ⁹ they drink no wine with a song; strong drink embitters them who drink: ¹⁰ the city of waste breaks down: every house is shut so that no man comes in. ¹¹ There is an outcry for wine in the outways: all cheerfulness is obscured; the joy of the land is exiled:

¹⁵ What - to my beloved in my house, her working intrigue with many and pass the holy flesh from you? when you work evil, you jump for joy. ¹⁶ Yah Veh calls your name, Green Olive! Beautiful! Formed Fruit! With the voice of a great rush he kindles fire thereon, and shatters the branches thereof.

¹³ Ho to him who builds his house without justness and his upper rooms without judgment; who uses the service of his friend gratuitously, and gives him not for his deeds;

¹⁷ But your eyes and your heart are for naught but your greedy gain and for pouring innocent blood and for oppression and to work violence.

³⁴ Nebukadnets Tsar the sovereign of Babel devours us; crushes us: he sets me an empty instrument; he swallows me up as a monster; he fills his belly with my pleasures; he thrusts me away.

⁴⁴ And I visit on Bel in Babel, and from his mouth I bring forth what he swallowed: and the goyim flow together to him no more: yes, the wall of Babel falls.

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!

¹² The time arrives; the day touches; neither the chatteler cheers nor the seller mourn: for fuming is on all the multitude.

⁷ For they seed the wind and harvest the hurricane: there is no stalk; the sprout works no flour: and if it works, strangers swallow it. ⁸ Yisra El is swallowed: they are now among the goyim as an instrument wherein is no delight:

¹ Neither cheer, O Yisra El; nor twirl as people: for you whore from your Elohim, you love a payoff on every crop threshingfloor.

⁴ Hear this, O you who gulp the needy, who shabbathize the humble of the land,

¹³
YAH SHUA DENOUNCES THE PHARISEES
But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees! Hypocrites! For you shut the sovereigndom of the heavens in front of humanity: for neither you enter nor allow those entering to enter.

²⁴ You blind guides who strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.

⁸ approach Elohim and he approaches you; purify your hands, sinners; and hallow your hearts, double souled; ⁹ be miserable and mourn and weep; overturn your laughter to mourning and your cheer to sadness;

³³ The fruit of your soil and all your labours, eaten by a people you know not; and you become only oppressed and crushed all days:

³ Behold, here am I: answer against me in front of Yah Veh and in front of his anointed: Whose ox took I? Whose he burro took I? Whom extorted I? Whom crushed I? Of whose hand took I a koper/an atonement to veil my eyes therewith? - and I restore it to you. ⁴ And they say, You neither extorted us nor crushed us nor taken aught from the hand of any man.

¹⁹ and word to him, saying, Thus says Yah Veh: You - murder? And also possess? And word to him, saying, Thus says Yah Veh: In the place dogs lapped the blood of Naboth dogs lap your blood - even yours.

¹⁵ It tabernacles in his tent without him; sulphur is winnowed on his habitation of rest.

²⁷ Behold, I know the fabrications and intrigues you violate against me: ²⁸ for you say, Where is the house of the volunteer? and where are the tents - the tabernacles of the wicked?

⁶ Gratuitously you take a pledge from your brother and strip the naked of their clothing:

² They overtake the borders; they strip droves and feed; ³ they drive away the she burro of the orphan; they take the ox of the widow for a pledge; ⁴ they pervert the needy from the way; the humble of the earth hide. ⁵ Behold, as wild runners in the wilderness, they go to their deeds; rising early for a prey; to the plains for bread - for them and their lads; ⁶ they harvest their fodder in the field; they glean the vineyard of the wicked; ⁷ they stay the naked overnight without robe that they have no covering in the cold; ⁸ they are moist with the floods of the mountains and embrace the rock for want of a refuge; ⁹ they strip the orphan from the breast and take a pledge of the humble; ¹⁰ they have him go naked without robe; they take away the omer from the famished; ¹¹ they press oil between their walls and tread their troughs - and thirst. ¹² Men of the city groan and the soul of the pierced cries out; yet Elohah sets not frivolity to them.

¹³ If I spurn the judgment of my servant or of my maid when they contend with me ¹⁴ What then work I when El rises? When he visits, what respond I? ¹⁵ He who worked me in the belly worked he not also him? - that one who prepared us in the womb? ¹⁶ If I withhold the poor from their desire, or finish off the eyes of the widow; ¹⁷ or eat my morsel myself alone and the orphan eats not; ¹⁸ - for as a father he grew up with me from my youth - led her from the belly of my mother. ¹⁹ If I have seen any destruct for want of robe or the needy without covering; ²⁰ if neither his loins blessed me nor heated with the fleece of my lambs; ²¹ if I shook my hand against the orphan when I saw my help in the portal; ²² then may my shoulder fall from the blade and my arm break at the stem:

³⁸ If my soil cries against me, and the furrows weep together; ³⁹ if I have eaten the produce without silver or caused the masters to expire their soul;

⁹ By reason of the abundance of oppressions they cause to cry out - to cry out by reason of the arm of the great.

¹⁸ to judge the orphan and the oppressed that the man of the earth not terrify again.

⁵ For the devastation of the humble, for the shrieking of the needy, I now rise, says Yah Veh; I set him in safety from him who puffs at him.

³¹ He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Worker; and he who honors him grants charism on the needy.

²² Neither strip the poor, because he is poor; nor crush the humble in the portal; ²³ for Yah Veh defends their defence and defrauds the soul of their defrauders.

¹ And I return and see all the oppressions worked under the sun; and behold, the tears of the oppressed who have no one to sigh; and the force of the hand of their oppressors who have no one to sigh.

⁸ If you see the oppression of the impoverished and stripping of judgment and justness in a jurisdiction, marvel not at the desire; for he who is high above the high regards - and then the high above them.

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. ⁸
HO AND JUDGMENT
Ho to them who touch house to house, who approach field to field, until the final place, to settle alone midst the earth!

³⁴ To crush all the bound of the earth under his feet,

²⁹ The people of the land in oppressing, oppress; and in stripping, strip; and vex the humble and needy: yes, they oppress the sojourner without judgment.

¹
YISRA EL UNREPENTANT
Hear this word, you heifers of Bashan in the mountain of Shomeron - who oppress the poor; who crush the needy; who say to their adonim, Bring, and we drink. ² Adonay Yah Veh oaths by his holiness, that behold, days come on you, that he lifts you with hooks and your posterity with fishhooks: ³ and you go out at the breaches - women in front; and you cast them into the palace - an oracle of Yah Veh.

² and they desire fields and strip them; and houses, and bear them away: and oppress a mighty and his house - even a man and his inheritance.

⁹ you expel the women of my people from their houses of delights; from their sucklings you take away my majesty eternally.

⁶ But you dishonor the poor. Is it not the rich who overpower you? And drag you to the judgment?

¹³ For whoever deals no mercy has unmercied judgment; and mercy exults against judgment.

⁴ Behold, the hire of the workers who ingathered your regions - whom you cheated, cries out: and the cries of them who harvest enter the ears of Yah Veh Sabaoth.

¹³ There is an evil stroke I saw under the sun - riches guarded for the master, for his evil: ¹⁴ and those riches destruct by evil drudgery; and he births a son - and naught is in his hand.

²⁰ And the wicked are as the driven sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters expel filth and mire. ²¹ There is no shalom, says my Elohim, to the wicked.

²⁹ He neither enriches, neither his valuables arise, nor his acquisitions spread on the earth;

¹⁹ He has neither son nor posterity among his people, nor survivors in his sojournings.

¹¹ The partridge broods, and births not: thus is he who works riches, but not by justness - who forsakes them in the half of his days and at his end, is a fool.

²⁴ And he voices out and says, Father Abraham, mercy me, and send El Azar to baptize the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I grieve in this flame. ²⁵ But Abraham says, Child, remember that you in your life took your good; and El Azar likewise evil: and now he consoles and you grieve:

² and against him, Yah Veh sends troops of the Kasdiy and troops of the Aramiy and troops of the Moabiy, and troops of the sons of Ammon; and he sends them against Yah Hudah to destroy it according to the word Yah Veh worded by the hand of his servants the prophets:

¹⁵ and the Sabeans felled them and took them away; yes, they smote the lads with the mouth of the sword; and I - I only escaped alone to tell you.

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.

¹⁷ There the wicked cease from commotion; and there the wearied of force rest;

¹¹ El shuts me to the pervert and hurls me to the hands of the wicked.

⁷ the paces of his strength constrict and his own counsel casts him down.

⁵ Behold, you give my days as a palm span; my transcience is as naught in front of you; verily all humanity is stationed in vanity. Selah.

¹⁸ Yes, I hated all the toil I toiled under the sun; because I leave it to humanity after me. ¹⁹ And who knows whether he be wise or fool? - and yet dominates over all the toil I toiled wherein I enwisened myself under the sun. This is also vanity. ²⁰ I turned my heart around to quit all the toil I toiled under the sun.

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:

⁷ as much as she glorifies herself and luxuriates so much torture and mourning give her: because she words in her heart, I sit a sovereigness and am no widow and never no way see mourning.

²⁴ and Yah Veh rains sulphur and fire on Sedom and on Amorah from Yah Veh from the heavens;

²³ And Mosheh spreads his rod toward the heavens: and Yah Veh gives voice and hail and the fire comes down to earth; and Yah Veh rains hail on the land of Misrayim:

³³ and while the flesh is yet between their teeth, ere it is cut, Yah Veh kindles his wrath against the people and Yah Veh smites the people with a mighty great stroke.

⁶ On the wicked he rains snares - fire and sulphur and a raging wind/spirit; - the allotment of their cup.

³⁰ they are not estranged from their desire. and their food still being in their mouths, ³¹ the wrath of Elohim ascends on them and slaughters their fattest and has the youths of Yisra El to kneel.

⁴ my heart staggers; trembling frightens me: he sets the evening breeze of my pleasure to tremble me.

¹⁷ and he reasons within himself, wording, What do I? - because I have no room to gather my fruits. 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?

³⁵ teaching my hands to war; so that my arms bend a bow of copper.

³⁰ and the remaining flee to Apheq - to the city; and a wall falls on twenty-seven thousand of the men who remain: and Ben Hadad flees and comes to the city - to an inner chamber.

²³ until an arrow strikes through his liver; as a bird hastens to the snare and knows not it is for his soul.

¹⁸ And so be it, he who flees from the voice of the fear falls into the pit; and he who ascends from midst the pit is captured in the snare: for the windows from on high open, and the foundations of the earth quake:

⁴³ Fear and the pit and the snare snare on you, O settler of Moab - an oracle of Yah Veh. ⁴⁴ He who flees from the face of fear falls into the pit; and he who ascends from the pit is captured in the snare: for I bring thereon - on Moab, the year of their visitation - an oracle of Yah Veh.

¹⁹ - as a man flees the face of a lion and a bear meets him; or goes into the house and props his hand on the wall and a serpent bites him:

¹
JUDGMENT OF YAH VEH
I see Adonay stationed on the sacrifice altar; and he says, Smite the lintel of the door, so as to quake the thresholds: and crop them in the head - all of them; and I slaughter the last of them with the sword: and he who flees, flees not to them, and the escapee escapes not to them. ² And if they dig into sheol my hand takes them from there; and if they ascend to the heavens I bring them down from there: ³ and if they hide in the top of Karmel/orchard I search and take them from there; and if they hide from my eyes in the floor of the sea I misvah the serpent to bite them there;

⁴¹ If I pointen the lightning of my sword and my hand holds on judgment, I return avengement to my tribulators and shalam them who hate me.

¹⁴ Then Yah Ab says, Not so: I await at your face. And he takes three scions in his palm and stakes them through the heart of Abi Shalom while he is yet alive in the heart of the oak:

⁴ for the arrows of Shadday are within me, whereof the poison drinks up my spirit; the terrors of Elohah line up against me.

²¹ A voice of dread is in his ears; in shalom, the ravager comes upon him.

¹³ his archers surround me; he cleaves my reins and spares not; he pours out my bitters on the earth;

¹¹ Terrors frighten him all around and scatter him to his feet;

²⁰ terrors overtake him as waters; a hurricane steals him away in the night:

¹² If he turns not, he sharpens his sword; he bends his bow and prepares

¹⁹ how they become a desolation - as in a blink! in consuming, they are consumed with terrors.

¹⁵ I am humbled - expiring since ladhood; I bear your terrors - perplexed;

³ And so be it, on the morrow, Pashchur brings Yirme Yah from the stockades; and Yirme Yah says to him, Yah Veh calls not your name Pashchur, but Magor Mis Sabib/Terror All Around: ⁴ for thus says Yah Veh, Behold, I give you a terror to yourself and to all your loved ones: and they fall by the sword of their enemies and your eyes see it: and I give all Yah Hudah into the hand of the sovereign of Babel; and he exiles them into Babel and smites them with the sword:

¹¹
ALL DIED
So knowing the awe of Adonay, we convince humanity; and manifest to Elohim; and I hope also, manifest in your consciences.

¹⁸ he is exiled from light into darkness and chased from the world. ¹⁹ He has neither son nor posterity among his people, nor survivors in his sojournings.

⁹ you set them as a fiery oven at the time of your face: Yah Veh swallows them in his wrath and the fire consumes them:

⁹ and his sons become orphans and his woman a widow: ¹⁰ in wandering, that his sons wander; yes, ask; and seek from their parched areas. ¹¹ The exactor snares all he has and the strangers plunder his labor; ¹² neither is there any to draw out mercy to him nor any to grant charism to his orphans: ¹³ his posterity becomes cut off; and in another generation their name is wiped out: ¹⁴ the perversity of his fathers is remembered to Yah Veh; and the sin of his mother is not wiped out; ¹⁵ they become in front of Yah Veh continually to cut off their memorial from the earth:

⁴ Pointened arrows of the mighty with coals of juniper.

²² and they look to the earth; and behold tribulation and darkness - darkness of distress; - expelled to darkness.

²⁰ You unite not with them in the tomb - because you ruined your land and slaughtered your people: the seed of vilifiers is never called out - eternally. ²¹ Prepare slaughter for his sons for the perversity of their fathers; that they neither rise nor possess the land nor fill the face of the world with cities. ²² For I rise against them - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth and from Babel I cut off the name and survivors and offspring and posterity - an oracle of Yah Veh.

³³ For Topheth lined up since yesterday; yes, prepared for the sovereign; he deepens and enlarges: the fuel pile is fire and abounding timber; the breath of Yah Veh, as a wadi of sulphur, burns it.

¹² whose winnowing fan is in his hand; and he throughly purges his threshing floor, and gathers his grain into the granary; but he burns the chaff with unquenchable fire.

¹² but the sons of the sovereigndom are ejected into outer darkness: with weeping and gnashing of teeth.

¹³ raging waves of the sea frothing their own shame, planetary stars - to whom is guarded the blackness of gloom to the eons.

²⁸ Congregate to me all the elders of your scions and your officers; and I speak these words in their ears and call the heavens and earth to record against them:

¹⁸ O earth, cover not my blood that there be no place for my cry.

²⁰ If we forget the name of our Elohim or spread our palms to a strange el; ²¹ is this not probed by Elohim? - for he knows the concealments of the heart.

²¹ For, behold, Yah Veh comes from his place to visit on the settlers of the earth for their perversity: and the earth exposes her blood, and no more covers her slaughtered.

²³ because they worked folly in Yisra El and adulterized with the women of their friends; and worded false words in my name which I misvahed them not; - I know and witness - an oracle of Yah Veh.

⁵ And I approach you for judgment; and I become a hasty witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers and against false oathers and against those who oppress the hireling in his hire - the widow and the orphan; and who pervert the sojourner and awe me not, says Yah Veh Sabaoth.

² for naught is altogether concealed, that is not unveiled; and secreted, that is not known: ³ so as much as you speak in darkness is heard in the light; and what you speak in the ear in pantries is preached on the housetops.

¹⁶ in the day Elohim judges the secrets of humanity through Yah Shua Messiah according to my evangelism.

⁵ So judge naught preceding the season, until ever Adonay comes, who both lights the secrets of darkness and manifests the counsels of the hearts: and then each becomes the halal of Elohim.

³¹ your ox, slaughtered in front of your eyes and you not eat thereof; your he burro, stripped at your face - never to return to you; your flocks, given to your enemies and no one saves them:

¹⁷ Behold, the days come, that all in your house which your fathers treasure to this day, is lifted to Babel - no word remains, says Yah Veh.

⁵ whose harvest the famished eat and even take it through the thorns and the robber gulps their valuables.

¹⁸ He restores that for which he labors but swallows not; as his valuables, thus the exchange - and he leaps not for joy. ¹⁹ He crushes - he forsakes the poor; he strips a house he built not; ²⁰ surely he knows no serenity in his belly; he rescues none of his desires: ²¹ none of his food survives; so no one writhes his goods. ²² In the fulness of his gluttony, he constricts; every hand of the wicked comes on him.

³⁰ - that the evil are spared to the day of calamity? - to be brought forth to the day of fury?

¹⁴ If his sons abound, it is for the sword; and his offspring satisfy not with bread: ¹⁵ his survivors entomb in death and his widows weep not: ¹⁶ though he heaps silver as the dust and prepares robes as the clay: ¹⁷ he prepares, and the just enrobe; and the innocent allot the silver: ¹⁸ he builds his house as a moth and as a sukkoth/brush arbor which the guardian works. ¹⁹ The rich lies down, and he is not gathered; he opens his eyes, and he is not:

⁴ Wealth benefits not in the day of fury; and justness rescues from death.

¹⁸ Even their silver, even their gold cannot rescue them in the day of the wrath of Yah Veh; and in the fire of his jealousy consumes the whole land: for he even works a hasty final finish of all who settle in the land.

²⁶ for what is a human benefited whenever he gains the whole cosmos and loses his own soul? Or what gives a human in exchange for his soul?

¹
TREASURING TREASURES
Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries coming upon you. ² Your riches putrefy and your garments become motheaten: ³ your gold and silver rust; and their rust becomes a witness against you to consume your flesh as fire. You treasured in the final days.

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;

²⁰ Yah Veh wills to not forgive him; for then the wrath and the jealousy of Yah Veh fumes against that man; and all the oaths inscribed in this scroll crouch upon him; and Yah Veh wipes his name from under the heavens: ²¹ and Yah Veh separates him from all the scions of Yisra El unto evil, according to all the oaths of the covenant inscribed in this scroll of the torah: ²² so that the latter generation of your sons who rise after you and the stranger who comes from a far land, say, - when they see the strokes of that land and the sicknesses Yah Veh strokes thereon ²³ - and the whole land thereof of sulphur and salt and burning - neither seeded nor sprouting nor any herbage ascending therein - as the overthrow of Sedom and Amorah, Admah and Seboim whom Yah Veh overturned in his wrath and in his fury 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.

²¹ Surely such are the tabernacles of the wicked and this is the place of him who knows not El.

¹³ This is the allotment of wicked humanity with El; and the inheritance of tyrants which they take of Shadday.

² What is the allotment of Elohah from above? What is the inheritance of Shadday from the heights? ³ Is not calamity to the wicked? - a strangeness to the doers of mischief?

⁵ Yah Veh proofs the just; and the wicked who love violence his soul hates. ⁶ On the wicked he rains snares - fire and sulphur and a raging wind/spirit; - the allotment of their cup.

³⁸ From the mouth of Elyon proceeds not evil and good?

⁵¹ and dichotomizes him and places his portion with the hypocrites: there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.
