IYOB ANSWERS
And Iyob answers and says, ² Even today my meditation is rebellious - my hand heavier than my sighing. ³ Who gives that I know - that I find him - that I come to his place! ⁴ O that I line up my judgment at his face and fill my mouth with reproofs. ⁵ O that I know the utterances he answers me and discern what he says to me. ⁶ Contends he against me with his abundant force? No; but he sets it in me. ⁷ There the straight reprove him; and in perpetuity, I slip away from my judge. ⁸ Behold, I go eastward, and he is not; and backward, and I discern him not; ⁹ on the left where he works, and I see not; he shrouds himself on the right, and I see not. ¹⁰ For he knows my way; he proofs me; I come forth as gold. ¹¹ My foot holds to his steps; I guard his way; and neither pervert ¹² nor go back from the misvah of his lips: I treasure the sayings of his mouth more than my statutes. ¹³ And he is in one - and who can turn him? and what his soul desires, he works. ¹⁴ For he shalams my statute; and many such others with him. ¹⁵ So I terrify at his face; I discern; I dread him; ¹⁶ for El tenderizes my heart and Shadday terrifies me; ¹⁷ for I neither exterminate at the face of the darkness; nor covers he the darkness from my face.

² Oh that in weighing, my vexation were weighed and my calamity lifted in the balances together! ³ For now it is heavier than the sand of the sea; so I gulp my words;

¹¹ Also I - I spare not my mouth; I word in the tribulation of my spirit; I meditate in the bitterness of my soul.

¹ My soul loathes life; I forsake my self-meditation; I word in the bitterness of my soul.

⁶ and tells you the concealments of wisdom, that they are a double substance! Know that Elohah exacts your perversity of you.

⁴ when by day and night your hand is heavy on me; my moisture turns into the parch of summer. Selah.

² in the day of my tribulation I seek Adonay; my hand runs in the night, and exhale not; my soul refuses to sigh. ³ I remember Elohim, and roar; I meditate, and my spirit languishes. Selah. ⁴ You hold my eye guards: I am agitated; I cannot word: ⁵ I fabricate the days of antiquity - the years of eternity: ⁶ I remember my strumming in the night; I meditate with my heart; my spirit searches. ⁷ Adonay - casts he off eternally? - never again to please? ⁸ - cease his mercy in perpetuity? - cease his sayings generation to generation? ⁹ - forgets El to grant charism? - in wrath shuts his tender mercies? Selah.

¹⁹ remember my humiliation and my persecution - the wormwood and the rosh. ²⁰ In remembering, my soul remembers and sinks within me.

³ Yet I word to Shadday and I desire to reprove El:

²¹ O that one reprove for the mighty with Elohah as a son of humanity for his friend!

³⁵ Who gives that someone hear me! Behold, my mark! Shadday, answer me! Man of contention, scribe a scroll! ³⁶ If not, I lift it on my shoulder and fasten it to me as a crown. ³⁷ I tell him my paces; as an eminent I go near him.

¹ Yah Veh answers Iyob and says, ² Contends the reprover with Shadday? Whoever reproves Elohah, answer! ³
IYOB ANSWERS YAH VEH
And Iyob answers Yah Veh and says, ⁴ Behold, I am abased; What respond I to you? I set my hand to my mouth. ⁵ I worded once; but I answer not: yes, twice; but not again.

⁸ Yes, in the way of your judgments, O Yah Veh, we await you; the desire of our soul is to your name and to your memorial.

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.

⁷ O Yah Veh, though our perversities answer against us, work this for sake of your name: for our apostasies abound by the myriads; we sin against you.

¹⁹ - how that Elohim was in Messiah, reconciling the cosmos to himself - not reckoning their backslidings to them; and places the word of reconciliation in us. ²⁰ So we are presbyters for Messiah, as Elohim beseeching through us: we petition in the stead of Messiah, be reconciled to Elohim.

⁶ So since it remains that some must enter therein - and they to whom it was previously evangelized entered not in because of trustlessness -

²⁵ Far be it from you to work this word, to deathify the just with the wicked: and that it be, as the just, as the wicked. Far be it from you! The Judge of all the earth, works he not judgment? ²⁶ And Yah Veh says, If I find in Sedom fifty just midst the city, then I spare all the place for their sakes. ²⁷ And Abraham answers and says, Behold, I beseech, I will to word to Adonay, I - dust and ashes: ²⁸ Perhaps there lack five of the fifty just: you - ruin the whole city for five? And he says, If I find there forty-five, I ruin not. ²⁹ And he words to him yet again and says, Perhaps there be forty found there. And he says, I work it not for sake of forty. ³⁰ And he says, I beseech, Adonay, inflame not and I word: Perhaps thirty be found there. And he says, I work not, if I find thirty there. ³¹ And he says, Behold, I beseech, I will to word to Adonay: Perhaps there be twenty found there. And he says, I ruin not for sake of twenty. ³² And he says, Oh Adonay, inflame not; and I word this time only: Perhaps ten be found there. And he says, I ruin not for sake of the ten.

¹² And you - you say, In well-pleasing, I well-please you and set your seed as the sand of the sea which cannot be scribed for abundance.

¹² Why have the Misrayim say, saying, For evil he brought them out - to slaughter them in the mountains and to finish them off from the face of the soil? Turn from your fuming wrath and sigh of this evil against your people: ¹³ remember your servants, Abraham, Yischaq and Yisra El, to whom you oathed by your own self and worded to them, I abound your seed as the stars of the heavens and all this land that I said I give to your seed: and they inherit it eternally.

¹³
MOSHEH PLEADS FOR THE SONS OF YISRA EL
And Mosheh says to Yah Veh, Then the Misrayim hear; for you ascended this people from among them by your force; ¹⁴ and they tell them who settle this land: for they heard that you Yah Veh are among this people, that you Yah Veh are seen eye to eye and that your cloud stands over them; and that you go at their face in a pillar of a cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night: ¹⁵ and if you deathify all this people as one man, then the goyim who hear the report of you, say, saying, ¹⁶ Yah Veh is not able to bring this people into the land he oathed them - he slaughters them in the wilderness. ¹⁷ And now, I beseech you, that the force of my Adonay greaten, as you worded, saying, ¹⁸ Yah Veh - slow to wrath and great of mercy, bearing perversity and rebellion and in exonerating, exonerates not, visiting the perversity of the fathers on the sons to the third and fourth. ¹⁹ Forgive, I beseech you, the perversity of this people according to the greatness of your mercy and as you bear this people, from Misrayim even until now.

⁸ O Adonay, what say I, when Yisra El turns their necks from the face of their enemies? ⁹ For the Kenaaniy and all the settlers of the land hear of it, and surround us and cut off our name from the earth: and what work you to your great name?

¹⁸ Behold, I beseech, I line up my judgment; I know I am justified.

¹⁹ Know we what to say to him? for we line not up at the face of the darkness.

¹¹ For sake of your name, O Yah Veh, forgive my perversity; for it is great.

¹ Judge me, O Elohim; defend my defence against an unmercied goyim: O slip me away from the man of deceits and wickedness.

²⁶ Remind me, so that we plead together: scribe you, that you be justified.

¹⁸ O my Elohim, spread your ear and hear; open your eyes and see our desolated; and the city on whom your name is called: for we fell not our supplications at your face because of our our justnesses - but because of your great mercies. ¹⁹ Adonay, hear; Adonay, forgive; Adonay, hearken and work; delay not, for your own sake, my Elohim: for your city and your people on whom your name is called.

² I say to Elohah, Judge me not wicked; let me know why you contend with me.

²² And you call and I - I respond; or, I word and you answer me. ²³ How many are my perversities and sins? - have me know my rebellion and my sin?

² I know that you are able in all; and that no intrigue is cut off from you. ³ Who is he who conceals counsel without knowledge? so I tell, and I discern not - too marvellous for me, and I know not. ⁴ Hear, I beseech you, and I word; I ask you; you have me know. ⁵ I hear you by the hearing of the ear; and now my eye sees you: ⁶ so I spurn and sigh in dust and ashes.

³ And for me, it is insignificant to be judged by you, or of the day of humanity: yet, I judge not myself. ⁴ For I am aware of naught; yet I am not justified herein: but he who judges me is Adonay.

⁴ He is wise in heart and strong in force. Who hardens against him and shalams?

¹⁹ If of force, behold, he is strong! If of judgment, who congregates to me?

³³ There is no reprover between us to place his hand on us both. ³⁴ He turns aside his scion from me; his terror frightens me not;

²¹ remove your palm far from me and let not your terror frighten me.

³ In the day I called you answered me and encouraged me with strength in my soul.

⁴ Fury is not in me. Who gives me briers - thorns in war? I stride through them; I burn them at once.

⁸ In a seah, when it spreads, you strive therewith: he removes his hard wind in the day of the easterly.

³³
THE JUDGMENT AND RESTORATION OF YISRA EL
I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh surely with a strong hand and with a spread arm and with fury poured out I reign over you:

³⁵ and I bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there I plead with you face to face:

⁹ And he said to me, My charism is sufficient for you: for my dynamis is completed/shalamed in frailty. So rather, with pleasure I boast in my frailties, that the dynamis of the Messiah tabernacle upon me. ¹⁰ So I well-approve in frailties, in hubris, in compulsions, in persecutions, in distresses for sake of Messiah: for when I am frail, then I am able.

¹⁵ Whom, though I am justified, yet I answer not; but seek charism from my judge.

¹⁸ Come, I beseech, and we reason, says Yah Veh: though your sins be as scarlet, they whiten as snow; though they be reddened like crimson, they be as wool.

⁵ Guards he eternally? Guards he in perpetuity? Behold, you word and work all the evil you can.

¹
THE PRAYER OF YIRME YAH
You are just, O Yah Veh, O that I plead with you - word to you of judgments! Why prospers the way of the wicked? Why are all they serene - who in dealing covertly, deal covertly?

¹⁹ Now we know, as much as the torah words, it speaks to those in the torah: that every mouth be sealed and all the cosmos become under judgment in front of Elohim. ²⁰ Because by the works of the torah no flesh is justified in his sight: for through the torah is the knowledge of sin. ²¹
JUSTNESS THROUGH TRUST
But now the justness of Elohim manifests apart from the torah, being witnessed by the torah and the prophets; ²² even the justness of Elohim through trust of Yah Shua Messiah to all and on all who trust - for there is no distinction:

¹
THE TORAH OF THE SPIRIT; LIFE IN THE MESSIAH
So there is now no condemnation to them who are in Messiah Yah Shua. ^{*not in mss; but see 8:4}

³³ Who accuses the select of Elohim? Elohim who justifies? ³⁴ Who condemns? Messiah who died, yes rather, who rose - who is even at the right of Elohim - who also intercedes for us?

¹¹ Behold, he passes by me and I see him not; and he passes on, and I discern him not.

¹⁴ Yes, although you say you observe him not, the plea is at his face; writhe in him.

¹ Why stand you afar off, O Yah Veh? Why conceal yourself in times of tribulation?

¹ To His Eminence; A Psalm by David. Until when forget you me, O Yah Veh? In perpetuity? Until when hide you your face from me? ² Until when set I counsel in my soul - having grief in my heart daily? Until when lofts my enemy over me? ³ Look and answer me, O Yah Veh my Elohim! Light my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

¹⁵ Surely you are an El who hides yourself, O Elohim of Yisra El, the Saviour.

¹⁶ who alone has athanasia: dwelling in the unapproachable light whom no human has seen, nor is able to see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.

⁴⁶ Until when, O Yah Veh, hide you yourself? In perpetuity? - Burn your fury as fire?

¹⁷ And I await Yah Veh who hides his face from the house of Yaaqov, and I await him.

¹⁹ For I know him, that he misvahs his sons and his household after him and they guard the way of Yah Veh, to work justness and judgment; so that Yah Veh brings on Abraham what he words of him.

² and remember all the way Yah Veh your Elohim carried you these forty years in the wilderness - to humble you and to test you - to know what was in your heart, whether or not you guarded his misvoth:

³ I beseech you, O Yah Veh, remember, I pray you, how I walked at your face in truth and with a heart at shalom and worked good in your eyes! - and Yechizqi Yah weeps a great weeping.

¹¹ And yet, spread your hand, I beseech, and touch all that he has, whether he blesses you to your face. ¹² And Yah Veh says to Satan, Behold, all he has is in your hand; only spread not your hand on his self. - and Satan goes from the face of Yah Veh.

⁵ but spread your hand, I beseech and touch his bone and his flesh, whether he blesses you to your face. ⁶ And Yah Veh says to Satan, Behold, he is in your hand; but guard his soul.

⁵ I hear you by the hearing of the ear; and now my eye sees you: ⁶ so I spurn and sigh in dust and ashes. ⁷
YAH VEH ANSWERS ELI PHAZ
And so be it, after Yah Veh words these words to Iyob, Yah Veh says to Eli Phaz the Temaniy, I kindle my wrath against you and against your two friends; for you word not of me what is established - as my servant Iyob. ⁸ And now, take seven bullocks and seven rams and go to my servant Iyob and holocaust yourselves a holocaust; and my servant Iyob prays for you; as for him, I lift from his face; so as not to work folly with you - in that you word not of me what is established, as my servant Iyob.

⁶ For Yah Veh knows the way of the just; and the way of the wicked destructs.

³ you proof my heart; you visit me in the night; you refine me; you find naught; I plot that my mouth not transgress.

¹⁰ For you, O Elohim, proof us; you refine us as refined silver;

¹ To His Eminence: A Psalm by David. O Yah Veh, you probed me and know; ² you know my settling and my uprising; you discern my intention afar off; ³ you winnow my path and my reposing and are accustomed to all my ways;

³ The crucible for silver; the furnace for gold; and Yah Veh proofs the hearts.

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.

² And who measures the day of his coming? And who stands when he is seen? - for he is as the fire of a refiner and as the soap of a fullers: ³ and he sits as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he purifies the sons of Levi and purges them as gold and silver, so that they bring near an offering in justness to Yah Veh.

¹⁷ He words to him the third time, Shimon, son of Yonah, befriend you me? Petros sorrows because he said to him the third time, Befriend you me? And he says to him, Adonay, you know all: you know I befriend you. Yah Shua words to him, Feed my sheep.

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}

¹⁷ By trust when Abraham was tested, offered Yischaq - he who received the pre-evangelisms offered his only birthed son,

²
TRUST AND TESTINGS
My brothers, deem it all cheer when you fall into divers testings; ³ knowing that the proofing of your trust works endurance: ⁴ and endurance have a work of completion/shalom so that you are complete/at shalom and whole - lacking naught.

¹² Blessed - the man who endures testing: because being approved he takes the wreath of life - which Adonay pre-evangelized to them who love him.

⁷ that the proofing of your trust: being much more precious than gold that destructs: though being proofed through fire be found unto halal and honor and glory at the apocalypse of Yah Shua Messiah:

² and now behold, the sovereign walks at your face: and I am old and grayed; and behold, my sons are with you: and I walk at your face from my youth to this day. 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. ⁵ And he says to them, Yah Veh is witness against you and his anointed is witness this day, that you find not aught in my hand. And they say, He is witness.

⁹ and the just holds his way; and in strengthening, he who has pure hands, strengthens.

⁵ Uphold my steps in your paths that my steps totter not.

²⁰ Yah Veh deals according to my justness; - returns according to the purity of my hands: ²¹ for I guard the ways of Yah Veh - not done wickedly against my Elohim. ²² For all his judgments are in front of me and I turn not aside his statutes from me: ²³ and I am integrious in front of him and I guard myself from my perversity: ²⁴ and Yah Veh returns to me according to my justness - according to the purity of my hands in his eyes.

³ The words of his mouth are mischief and deceit; he ceases comprehending, and to well-please:

¹⁸ nor apostatized our heart nor stretched our steps from your way:

⁵ as for such as pervert to their crookednesses, Yah Veh walks them with the doers of mischief. Shalom on Yisra El.

⁶ and they who apostatize from Yah Veh - who neither seek Yah Veh nor enquire of him.

¹³ They on the rock, who, whenever they hear, receive the word with cheer; and they have no root - who for a season trust and in season of testing fall away. ¹⁴ And that falling among thorns are they who hear and go; and are strangled by anxieties and riches and pleasures of existence and bring no fruit to completion/shalom. ¹⁵ And that on the beautiful earth are they who, in a beautiful and good heart, hear the word, hold on, and bear fruit by endurance.

¹⁸ and when they come to him, he says to them, You understand, from the first day I embarked into Asia, after what manner I became with you at all times: ¹⁹ serving Adonay with all humblemindedness and with many tears and testings which happened to me by the plotting of the Yah Hudiym:

³³ I panted after silver or gold or garment from no one. ³⁴ Yes, you yourselves know that these hands tended to my necessities - and to them with me.

⁷ to them indeed, who by endurance in good works, seek for glory and honor and incorruptibility - eternal life:

¹² For this is our boasting: the witness of our conscience: that with liberality and sincerity of Elohim - not in fleshly wisdom but in the charism of Elohim we have our behavior in the cosmos and more superabundantly toward you.

¹⁰ You and Elohim are witnesses, how mercifully and justly and unblameably we became among you who trust:

²⁰ For if, having escaped the defilements of the cosmos through the knowledge of Adonay and Saviour Yah Shua Messiah, and entangled again by these and belittled, their finality becomes worse than at first. ²¹ For it had been better for them to not have known the way of justness, than having known, to turn from the holy misvah delivered to them. ²² But it happens to them according to the true proverb, The dog returns to his own vomit; and the hog that bathed to her wallowing in the mire. ^{Proverbs 26:11}

¹⁰ And yet it is my sighing; I jump with pangs; he spares not: for I conceal not the sayings of the Holy One.

²² I beseech you, receive the torah from his mouth and set his sayings in your heart.

⁹ the awe of Yah Veh is pure, standing eternally; the judgments of Yah Veh are truth, justified altogether. ¹⁰ More to be desired than gold, yes, than much pure gold; and sweeter than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.

¹¹ I treasure your sayings in my heart that I not sin against you.

¹⁰³ How smooth your sayings to my palate! - than honey to my mouth!

¹²⁷ So I love your misvoth above gold - yes, above pure gold:

¹⁶ I found your words and I consume them; and your word to me is the rejoicing and cheerfulness of my heart: for your name is called on me, O Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth.

⁴² And Adonay says, Who then is that trustworthy and thoughtful administrator whom his adoni seats over his therapy to give their measure of grain in due season?

⁴⁶ the adoni of that servant comes in a day he awaits him not and at an hour he knows not; and dichotomizes him, and places his portion with the trustless.

³² And he says to them, I have food to eat that you know not.

³⁴ Yah Shua words to them, My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete/shalam his work.

⁶⁶ - from that time many of his disciples go back, and walk no more with him. ⁶⁷
THE WITNESS OF PETROS So Yah Shua says to the twelve, Will you also to go away? ⁶⁸ So Shimon Petros answers him, Adonay, to whom go we? You have the rhema of eternal life: ⁶⁹ and we trust and know that you are the Messiah, the Son of the living Elohim.

³¹ So Yah Shua words to the Yah Hudiym who trust in him, Whenever you abide in my word you are truly my disciples;

²² establishing the souls of the disciples, and beseeching them to remain in the trust; and that we must through much tribulation enter the sovereigndom of Elohim.

³⁸ And the just live by trust: and whenever anyone withdraws, my soul thinks not well in him. ^{Habakkuk 2:3, 4 39} And we are not of them who withdraw to destruction; but of them who trust to the acquiring of the soul.

² as newborn infants yearn for the undeceitful milk of logic to grow therein:

¹⁹ They went from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us they had ever abode with us: but they manifested they were not all of us.

¹⁹ El is neither a man, that he lies; nor the son of humanity, that he sighs: Says he ever, and not work? Or words he ever, and it not rise? ²⁰ Behold, I take to bless: and he blesses and I cannot turn it.

¹² Behold, he seizes! Who turns him back? Who says to him, What work you? ¹³ Elohah turns not back his wrath; the proud helpers prostrate under him.

¹⁰ If he passes by, and shuts up or congregate, who then turns him back?

¹⁴ Behold, he breaks down and no one builds; he shuts a man and no one opens.

²⁹ And when he rests, who judges wicked? and when he hides his face, who observes him? - whether against a goyim, or against humanity altogether;

³ Our Elohim is in the heavens; he works whatever he desires.

⁶ Yah Veh works whatever he desires in the heavens and in earth in the seas and all abysses:

²¹ Many are the fabrications in the heart of man; nevertheless the counsel of Yah Veh rises.

¹⁵ The twisted cannot be straightened; and the lacking cannot be numbered.

¹⁴ I know that whatever Elohim works, is eternal; neither augmented; nor diminished: and Elohim works so that they awe at his face.

²⁴
THE BURDEN OF ASHSHUR
Yah Veh Sabaoth oaths, saying, Surely as I consider, so be it; and as I counsel, so it rises: ²⁵ that I break the Ashshuri in my land, and trample him upon my mountains: and turn aside his yoke from off them and turn aside his burden from off their shoulders. ²⁶ This is the counsel counselled upon the whole earth: and this is the hand spread upon all the goyim. ²⁷ For Yah Veh Sabaoth counsels, and who breaks it? and his hand spreads, and who turns it back?

¹⁰ telling the end from the beginning, and what formerly was not worked from antiquity, saying, My counsel rises and I work all my delight:

³⁵ and all who whirl on the earth are machinated as nought: and he does as he wills among the valiant of the heavens and they who whirl on the earth: and no one can strike his hand, or say to him, What serve you?

¹⁹ So you say to me, Why blames he still? For who withstands his counsel?

⁹ having us know the mystery of his will - according to his well-approval which he pre-determined in himself: ¹⁰ that in the administration of the fulness/shalom of seasons he sum up all in the Messiah - both in the heavens and on earth - in him: ¹¹ in whom we also inherit, being pre-determined according to the prothesis of him who energizes all after the counsel of his own will:

¹⁷ Every gratuity of good and every gratuity of completion/shalom is from above; and descends from the Father of lights - with whom is neither changeableness nor shadow of turning.

³ thus I inherit moons of vanity and nights of toil are numbered to me.

¹⁹ your way is in the sea and your path in the great waters and your heelprints are not known:

² Clouds and dripping darkness surround him; justness and judgment establish his throne.

²⁷ Why, O Yaaqov, say you, and, O Yisra El, word you, My way is hid from Yah Veh; and from my Elohim my judgment passes over? ²⁸ Know you not? Hear you not? that the eternal Elohim, Yah Veh, the Creator of the ends of the earth neither wearies nor belabors? There is no probing of his discernment.

⁹ The voice of Yah Veh calls to the city, and the counsellor sees your name: Hear the rod; and he who congregates it.

³³ O the depth of the riches of both the wisdom and knowledge of Elohim! How unexplorable his judgments and his ways untraceable!

³ that no one be shaken in these tribulations: for you yourselves know that we are set thereto.

⁹ For Elohim places us not to wrath, but to acquire salvation through our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah

⁸ and a stone of stumbling and a rock of scandal to them who stumble at the word - who distrust: to which also they were set.

¹⁵ If I be wicked, woe to me; and if I be justified, yet I lift not my head. I satiate with abasement; you see my humiliation;

³ Who gives that I know - that I find him - that I come to his place!

²³ for calamity from El is a dread to me and by reason of his exalting I am not able.

³ I remember Elohim, and roar; I meditate, and my spirit languishes. Selah.

¹²⁰ My flesh stands on end for dread of you; and I awe your judgments.

¹⁶ I hear; my belly quivers; my lips quiver at the voice: rottenness enters my bones; and I quiver in myself that I rest in the day of tribulation: he ascends to the people; he troops against them with his troops.

³ and says to them, Hear, O Yisra El, you approach this day to battle against your enemies: neither tenderize your hearts nor awe nor hasten nor terrify at their face;

²⁰ And she says to them, Call me not Noomiy/Pleasant; call me Bitter; for Shadday has mightily embittered me.

² El lives - who turns aside my judgment; and Shadday - who embitters my soul:

¹⁴ I am poured as water and all my bones separate; my heart is as wax melted midst my inwards;

¹⁶ your fuming passes over me; your terrors exterminate me;

⁵ Then I say, Woe is me! for I am mute; because I am a man of foul lips and I settle midst a people of fouled lips: for my eyes see the Sovereign, Yah Veh Sabaoth.

¹⁶ For I neither contend eternally nor perpetually rage: for the spirit languishes at my face, and the breaths I work.

⁴⁶ And lest your heart be tenderized, and you awe for the report heard in the land; a report comes in a year: and a year after the report, violence in the land - sovereign against sovereign.

¹⁵ Aha for the day! for the day of Yah Veh is nearby, and comes as a ravage from Shadday.

²⁰ So behold, I gather you to your fathers - gather you to your tomb in shalom that your eyes not see all the evil I bring on this place. - and they return word to the sovereign.

⁹ O that Elohah wills to crush me - to loose his hand and cut me off!

²² He trusts not that he returns from darkness and he is watched by the sword.

⁶ the light darkens in his tent and his lamp extinguishes with him;

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

⁸ he walls in my way so I cannot pass; and sets darkness in my paths:

¹¹ or darkness, you see not; and abundance of waters cover you.

¹
THE JUST DESTRUCT
The just destruct and no man sets it to heart: and merciful men gather and no one discerns that the just are gathered from the face of the evil.
