Job 29 Cross References - ECB

¹ And Iyob lifts to add his proverb and says, ² O that I were as in ancient moons - as in the days Elohah guarded me; ³ when his lamp halaled on my head; when by his light I walked the darkness; ⁴ as I was in the days of winter with the private counsel of Elohah on my tent: ⁵ when Shadday was yet with me; when my lads surrounded me; ⁶ when I bathed my steps with butter and the rock poured me rivulets of oil; ⁷ when I went out to the portal through the city; when I prepared my settlement in the broadway! ⁸ The lads saw me and hid themselves and the aged rose and stood; ⁹ governors refrained uttering and set their palm on their mouth; ¹⁰ the eminent hid their voice and their tongue adhered to their palate. ¹¹ When the ear heard, it called me blithesome; and when the eye saw, it gave me witness; ¹² because I rescued them who cried - the humble and the orphan and whoever had no helper. ¹³ The blessing of him who was ready to destruct came on me; and I caused the heart of the widow to shout. ¹⁴ I enrobed justness and it enrobed me; my judgment was as a mantle and a turban; ¹⁵ I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame; ¹⁶ - a father to the needy. I probed contentions that I knew not; ¹⁷ I broke the molars of the wicked and cast the prey from his teeth. ¹⁸ And I said, I expire in my nest and my days abound as the sand. ¹⁹ My root spreads to the waters and the dew stays overnight on my clippings. ²⁰ My honor is new within me and my bow changes in my hand. ²¹ To me they hearken and wait and hush at my counsel. ²² After my words they reiterated not; and my utterances dropped on them; ²³ they awaited me as for the rain; they gaped their mouth as for the after rain. ²⁴ I laughed on them, they trusted not; and the light of my face they felled not. ²⁵ I chose their way, and settled as head; and tabernacled as a sovereign in the troops, as one who sighs over the mourners.

⁷ and he lifts his proverb, and says, Balaq the sovereign of Moab leads me from Aram - from the mountains of the east, Go, curse Yaaqov for me! And go, enrage Yisra El!

¹² Your memorials are to ashes, as your backs to backs of clay.

¹ And Iyob adds to lift his proverb, and says,

¹ There was a man in the land of Us, his name, Iyob; and that man being integrious and straight; and one awing Elohim and turning aside from evil. ² And seven sons and three daughters are birthed to him; ³ and his chattel: seven thousand flocks and three thousand camels and five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred she burros and a mighty great servantry; so that this man is the greatest of all the men of the east. ⁴ And his sons go and work a banquet in their houses - each man on his day; and they send and call for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. ⁵ And so be it, as the days of banqueting revolve, Iyob sends and hallows them; and starts early in the morning and holocausts holocausts according to their number; for Iyob says, Perhaps my sons have sinned, yet blessed Elohim in their hearts. - thus worked Iyob continually.

¹⁰ Make you not a hedge about him and throughout his house and throughout all he has all around? You bless the work of his hands and his chattel break forth in the land.

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

²⁸ For Yah Veh loves judgment and forsakes not his mercied - guarded eternally; and the seed of the wicked is cut off.

²⁸ And so be it, as I watched over them to uproot and to break down and to demolish and to destroy and to vilify, thus I watch over them to build and to plant - an oracle of Yah Veh.

SALUTATION
Yah Hudah, the servant of Yah Shua Messiah and brother of Yaaqovos: To the hallowed in Elohim the Father and guarded in Yah Shua Messiah - called:

¹⁷ and transcience rises above the noonday; you fly - you are as the morning;

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

¹⁷ How often the lamp of the wicked extinguishes! And their calamity comes on them! He apportions pangs in his wrath;

²⁸ and cut a saying and it rises to you; and the light illuminates your ways.

⁶ Many say, Who has us see good? O Yah Veh, lift the light of your face on us.

²⁸ For you - you light my lamp; Yah Veh my Elohim illuminates my darkeness.

⁴ Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I awe no evil; for you are with me; your scion and your crutch sigh over me:

¹ By David. Yah Veh is my light and my salvation; whom dread I? Yah Veh is the stronghold of my life; whom dread I?

¹¹ For Yah Veh Elohim is a sun and shield; Yah Veh grants charism and honor; he withholds no good from them who walk integriously.

⁹ The light of the just cheers; and the lamp of the wicked extinguishes.

²⁰ Whoever abases his father or his mother, extinguishes his lamp in mid darkness.

²⁰ for there is no finality to the evil; the lamp of the wicked extinguishes.

⁴ And he judges among the goyim and reproves many people: and they forge their swords into plowshares and their spears into psalmpicks: goyim neither lift sword against goyim, nor learn war any more.

¹² So again Yah Shua speaks to them, wording, I AM the light of the cosmos: whoever follows me, walks not in darkness, but has the light of life.

⁴⁶ I come - a light to the cosmos; that whoever trusts in me abides not in darkness:

⁸ For formerly you were darkness and now light in Adonay: walk as children of light:

¹⁴ So he words, Rise you who sleep, and rise from the dead; and the Messiah illuminates you. ^{Isaiah 60:1,2}

⁸ Hear you the private counsel of Elohah? Diminish you wisdom to yourself?

¹⁴ the private counsel of Yah Veh is with them who awe him; and he has them know his covenant.

⁵ For in the day of evil he hides me in his sukkoth/brush arbor - in the covert of his tent he hides me - lifts me on a rock.

¹ He who settles in the covert of Elyon stays under the shadow of Shadday.

³² for he who perverts is abhorrence to Yah Veh; and his private counsel is with the straight.

³ For you died and your life is secreted with the Messiah in Elohim.

²⁷ The ancient Elohim is your habitation and underneath are the eternal arms: and he expels the enemy from your face; and says, Desolate! ²⁸ And Yisra El tabernacles confidently alone: the fountain/eye of Yaaqov is on a land of crop and juice; also his heavens drip dew. ²⁹ Blithe - you, O Yisra El: who is like to you? A people saved by Yah Veh - the buckler of your help and the sword of your pomp! and your enemies emaciate in front of you; and you tread on their bamahs.

⁹ Misvahed I you not? Strengthen! Encourage! Neither awe nor terrify! - for Yah Veh your Elohim is with you wherever you go.

¹² And the angel of Yah Veh is seen by him, and says to him, Yah Veh be with you, you mighty of valour. ¹³ And Gidon says to him, Oh my Adonay, - and Yah Veh is with us! Why does all this find us? And where are all his marvels our fathers scribed us, saying, Has not Yah Veh ascended us from Misrayim? And now, Yah Veh, forsakes he us? And gives us into the palms of the Midyaniy?

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

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.

¹³ and he has seven sons and three daughters. ¹⁴ And he called the name of the first, Yemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Qeren Hap Puch. ¹⁵ And in all the land they find no women as beautiful as the daughters of Iyob; and their father gives them inheritance among their brothers. ¹⁶ After this Iyob lives a hundred and forty years and sees his sons and the sons of his sons - four generations.

⁷ O Yah Veh, at your pleasure my mountain stands in strength; you hide your face and I terrify.

² For you are the Elohim of my stronghold; why cast you me off? Why go I darkened by the oppression of an enemy?

⁸ In Elohim we halal all the day long - halal your name eternally. Selah. ⁹ Yes, you cast us off and shame us; you come not forth with our hosts:

³ Behold, sons are an inheritance of Yah Veh; the fruit of the belly is his hire: ⁴ as arrows in the hand of a mighty man thus are sons of the youth. ⁵ Blithe - the mighty who fills his quiver with them; they shame not, for they word with the enemies in the portal.

³ - your woman as a fruitbearing vine by the flanks of your house: your sons as olive transplants surrounding your table.

⁶ Sons of sons are the crown of the aged; and the beauty of sons are their fathers.

⁴ he brings me to the house of wine; his banner over me is love.

¹ By night on my bed I seek him whom my soul loves; I seek him, but I find him not. ² I rise; I beseech: I go about the city - in the streets and in the broadways: I seek him whom my soul loves; I seek him, but I find him not.

⁸ O the expectation of Yisra El, the saviour in time of tribulation! Why are you as a sojourner in the land? And as a caravan that spreads to stay overnight?

¹⁵ And Yah Shua says to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But days come, whenever the bridegroom is taken from them, then they fast.

¹¹ binding his foal to the vine and the son of his she burro to the choice; he launders his robes in wine and his veil in the blood of grapes:

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.

²⁴ And of Asher he says, Asher is blessed with sons; he becomes pleasing to his brothers and dips his foot in oil.

¹⁷ he sees not the rivulets, the floods, the wadies of honey and butter.

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

¹⁸
THE TORAH ON SETTING JUDGES AND OFFICERS Give yourselves judges and officers in all your portals, which Yah Veh your Elohim gives you throughout your scions: to judge the people with judgment of justness.

¹⁹ then his father and his mother capture him and bring him to the elders of his city and to the portal of his place;

¹
BOAZ MARRIES RUTH
And Boaz ascends to the portal and settles there; and behold, the redeemer of whom Boaz worded passes by; to whom he says, Ho, such a one! Turn aside! Settle here! - and he turns aside and settles. ² And he takes ten men of the elders of the city and says, You settle here. - and they settle.

¹¹ And all the people in the portal, and the elders, say, We are witnesses. Yah Veh give the woman who comes into your house as Rachel and as Leah; which two built the house of Yisra El; and work you to get valuables in Ephrath and call out your name in Beth Lechem;

²¹ if I shook my hand against the orphan when I saw my help in the portal;

¹⁶ These are the words you work; Every man of you, word truth to his friend; judge truth and judgment of shalom in your portals:

³² Rise at the face of the grayed and esteem the face of the aged and awe your Elohim: I - Yah Veh.

³¹ Greyness is a crown of beauty found in the way of justness.

⁸ A sovereign who settles in the throne of pleading winnows all evil with his eyes.

³ For archs are not an awe to good works but to the evil. So will you, to not be awestricken of the authority? Do good and you have halal of the same: ⁴ for he is your minister of Elohim for good. But whenever you do evil, awe; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of Elohim - the avenger to wrath upon whoever transacts evil.

⁷ So give to all their dues: to whom tribute, tribute; to whom completion/shalom, completion/shalom; to whom awe, awe; to whom honor, honor.

¹ remind them to subjugate to hierarchies and authorities. to obey magistrates. to be prepared to every good work,

¹⁷ Honor all. Love the brotherhood. Awe Elohim. Honor the sovereign.

⁵ Likewise, younger: subjugate yourselves to the elder. Yes, all subjugate to one another and enrobe with humblemindedness: because Elohim opposes the proud and gives charism to the humble.

¹⁹ And they say to him, Hush! Set your hand on your mouth and come with us and become to us a father and a priest: is it better for you to be a priest to the house of one man? Or that you be a priest to a scion and a family in Yisra El?

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

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

⁵ Face me and astonish and set your hand on your mouth.

⁴ Behold, I am abased; What respond I to you? I set my hand to my mouth.

¹⁹ In the abundance of words, rebellion ceases not; and he who spares his lips, comprehends.

³² If you folly by lofting yourself, or if you intrigue, lay your hand on your mouth.

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

⁶ if I remember you not, my tongue adheres to my palate - if I ascend not Yeru Shalem, above the head of my cheer.

²⁶ and I stick your tongue to your palate and mute you, that you not become their man reprover: for they are a rebellious house.

²⁰ if neither his loins blessed me nor heated with the fleece of my lambs;

² When the just abound, the people cheer; and when the wicked reign, the people sigh.

²² - and all witness and marvel at the words of charism which proceed from his mouth: and they word, Is not this the son of Yoseph?

²⁷ And so be it, as he words these, a woman of the multitude lifts her voice and says to him, Blessed - the womb that birthed you, and the breasts you nippled.

²² Humble not any widow or orphan: ²³ if in humbling, you humble them and in crying, they cry to me, in hearing, I hear their cry; ²⁴ and I kindle my wrath and slaughter you with the sword; that your women become widows and your sons orphans.

¹⁸ who works the judgment of the orphan and widow and loves the sojourner in giving him bread and clothes.

² Yes, they who say, We, our sons and our daughters, are many; and we take crop to eat and live. ³ And they who say, We pledge our fields, vineyards and houses, to take crop for the famine. ⁴ And they who say, We borrowed silver on our fields and vineyards for the measure of the sovereign: ⁵ and now, our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers - our sons as their sons: and, behold, we subdue our sons and our daughters to be servants and some of our daughters are subdued: and El is not in our hands: for other men have our fields and vineyards. ⁶ And I inflame mightily when I hear their cry and these words: ⁷ and my heart reigns over me and I contend with the nobles and the prefects, and say to them, You bear interest - each man of his brother: and I give a great congregation against them. ⁸ And I say to them, With our ability we chatteled our brothers the Yah Hudiym who were sold to the goyim; And you, sell your brothers? - sell to us? - and they hush and find no word. ⁹ And I say, The word you work is not good: ought you not to walk in the awe of our Elohim because of the reproach of the goyim our enemies? ¹⁰ And also I - and my brothers and my lads, exact silver and crop of them: I beseech you, leave off this interest: ¹¹ restore to them, I beseech you, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards and their houses, silver to the hundredth, and of the crop, the juice and the oil, you exacted of them. ¹² And they say, We restore them and seek naught of them; thus we work as you say. And I call the priests and oath them to work according to this word: ¹³ and I shake my bosom and say, Thus may Elohim shake every man from his house and from his labor who raises not this word - even thus be he shaken out and emptied. And all the congregation says, Amen! - and halals Yah Veh; and the people work according to this word.

⁵ Is not your evil great? - your perversity endless? ⁶ Gratuitously you take a pledge from your brother and strip the naked of their clothing: ⁷ you give the languid no water to drink; you withhold bread from the famished. ⁸ The man of arm has the earth and the exalted face settles therein: ⁹ you send widows away empty and crush the arms of the orphan.

⁴ they pervert the needy from the way; the humble of the earth hide.

¹⁷ or eat my morsel myself alone and the orphan eats not;

⁵ Father of the orphan; pleader for the widows: Elohim in his holy habitation.

¹² For he rescues the needy who cries - the humble and he who has no helper;

² until when judge you wickedly and lift the faces of the wicked? Selah. ³ Judge the poor and orphan; justify the humble and impoverished; ⁴ slip away the poor and needy; rescue them from the hand of the wicked.

¹³ Whoever shuts his ears at the cry of the poor, calls, but is not answered.

¹¹ If you spare to rescue them who are taken to death and them who totter from the slaughter; ¹² if you say, Behold, we knew it not; Discerns he not, who gauges the heart? Knows he not, who guards your soul? - who returns to humanity according to his deeds?

¹⁶ he pleaded the cause of the humble and needy; - and for his good: Was this not to know me? - an oracle of Yah Veh.

²⁷ Pure and unpolluted ceremony with Elohim and the Father is this: To scope out the orphans and widows in their tribulation and to guard himself unstained from the cosmos.

¹¹ and cheer at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim - you and your son and your daughter and your servant and your maid and the Leviy within your portals and the sojourner and the orphan and the widow among you, in the place Yah Veh your Elohim chooses to tabernacle his name.

¹³ in returning, return the pledge to him when the sun goes down, so that he lies down in his own clothes and blesses you: and it becomes your justness at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim.

⁵ And you answer at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim, and say, My father was a destroyed Aramiy; and he descended to Misrayim and sojourned there with a few men and became a goyim - great, mighty and many:

¹⁰ And he says to them, Go your way, eat the fat and drink the sweet and send portions to them for whom naught is prepared: for this day is holy to our Adonay. Contort not; for the rejoicing of Yah Veh is your stronghold. ¹¹ And the Leviym hush all the people, saying, Hush, for the day is holy! Contort not. ¹² And all the people go their way to eat and to drink and to send portions and to work great cheer - because they discern the words made known to them.

⁹ you send widows away empty and crush the arms of the orphan.

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;

⁴ the nations cheer and shout; for you judge the people straightly and lead the nations on earth. Selah.

⁶ Give intoxicants to those destructing and wine to the bitter of soul ⁷ to drink and forget his poverty to remember his toil no more. ⁸ Open your mouth for the mute for the plea of all sons of survivors: ⁹ open your mouth, judge justness and plead the cause of the humble and needy.

¹³ And so be it, in that day, the great shophar blasts; and they come to them who destruct in the land of Ashshur, and the expelled in the land of Misrayim; and they prostrate to Yah Veh in the holy mount at Yeru Shalem.

¹⁴ behold, my servants shout for goodness of heart, and you cry for pain of heart and howl for breaking of spirit:

³⁹ - and Petros rises and goes with them. And he comes, and they bring him into the upper loft: and all the widows stand by him weeping and showing the tunics and garments - as many as Gazelle made, being with them. ⁴⁰ But Petros casts them all out, and places his knees and prays; and turning to the body, he says, Tabitha, Rise! And she opens her eyes; and seeing Petros, she sits: ⁴¹ and he gives her his hand and raises her; and calls the holy and widows and presents her alive.

¹² For the ministry of this liturgy not only fully furnishes the lack of the holy, but also is superabundant through many eucharists to Elohim; ¹³ while through the proofing of this ministry they glorify Elohim for your professed subjection to the evangelism of the Messiah and for your liberal communion to them and to all; ¹⁴ And by their petition in your behalf yearn after you because of the exceeding charism of Elohim in you.

¹⁶ Adonay give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus; for he often refreshed me and shamed not of my fetter: ¹⁷ But, being in Rome, he sought me out very diligently and found me. ¹⁸ Adonay give him to find mercy from Yah Veh in that day: and as much as he ministered to me at Ephesus, you know much better.

⁷ For we have vast charism and consolation in your love, because through you, brother, the spleens of the holy rest.

⁶ I uphold my justness and slacken not; my heart reproaches me not all my days:

⁹ Your priests enrobe with justness; and your mercied shout.

⁵ In that day, Yah Veh Sabaoth becomes for a crown of splendor; and for a corona of adornment to the survivors of his people;

¹⁷ and he enrobes justness as a habergeon and an helmet of salvation on his head; and for robes, he enrobes the clothes of avengement and covers with zeal as a mantle.

¹⁰ In rejoicing, I rejoice in Yah Veh; my soul twirls in my Elohim: for he enrobes me with the clothes of salvation, he clothes me with the mantle of justness - as a bridegroom decks - as a priest with ornaments - as a bride adorns with instruments.

³ and you become a crown of adornment in the palm of Yah Veh, and a royal turban in the hand of your Elohim.

¹⁴ but endue Adonay Yah Shua Messiah and make no provision for the flesh to do its pantings.

⁷ in the word of truth, in the dynamis of Elohim; through the weapon of justness at the right and at the left,

¹⁴ So stand; gird your loins in truth and endue the breastplate of justness:

⁸ And we, being of the day, be sober; enduing the breastplate of trust and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

⁸ And she is given to be arrayed in white linen - pure and radiant: for the white linen is the justification of the holy.

³¹ And he says, Leave us not, I beseech you; for thus you know how we encamp in the wilderness and you become to us instead of eyes:

⁵ the blind see and the lame walk; the lepers purify and the mute hear; the dead rise and the poor are evangelized:

¹²
THE BODY OF THE MESSIAH
For exactly as the body is one and has many members; and all the members of that one body being many, are one body; thus also the Messiah. ¹³ For in one Spirit we all are baptized into one body, whether Yah Hudiym, whether Hellenes, whether servants, whether liberated; and have all to drink into one Spirit. ¹⁴
ONE BODY, MANY MEMBERS
For the body is not one member, but many. ¹⁵ Whenever the foot says, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; so is it not of the body? ¹⁶ And whenever the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; so is it not of the body? ¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where the smelling? ¹⁸ And now Elohim sets the members - each in the body - exactly as he wills. ¹⁹ And if they all were one member, where the body? ²⁰ And now indeed, many members, yet but one body. ²¹ And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. ²² Rather, much more, those members of the body we think to be frail are necessary; ²³ and on those of the body we think of as dishonorable, we place superabundant honor; and on our misbehavors, superabundant honor. ²⁴ For our honorables have no need: but Elohim co-mingles the body giving superabundant honor to what lacked; ²⁵ that there be no schism in the body; but that the members have the same anxiety one for another. ²⁶ And whether one member suffers, all the members co-suffer; or whether one member is glorified, all the members co-rejoice: ²⁷ and you are the body of Messiah and members in particular. ²⁸
THE CHARISMATA IN THE ECCLESIA
And indeed Elohim set some in the ecclesia: first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors, then dynamis, then charismata of healings, supports, pilots, genos of tongues. ²⁹ All apostles? All prophets? All doctors? All dynamis? ³⁰ All the charismata of healings? All speak with tongues? All translate? ³¹ But be zealous for the better charismata: and I show you a still more excellent way.

²⁶ and they judge the people at all times: they bring the hard words to Mosheh; but every small word they judge themselves.

¹⁴ - then inquire and probe and ask well; and behold, if it is the truth, and the word established, that such abhorrence is worked among you;

⁸
THE TORAH ON JUDGMENT Whenever a word rises that marvels you in judgment - between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between plague and plague - words of dispute within your portals: then rise, and ascend the place Yah Veh your Elohim chooses; ⁹ and come to the priests the Leviym and to the judge of those days; and inquire: and they tell you the word of the judgment: ¹⁰ and work according to the word of the mouths of them of the place Yah Veh chooses tell you; and guard to work according to all they point out to you

¹⁶
THE FIRST CASE OF SHELOMOH
And two women - whores come to the sovereign and stand at his face: ¹⁷ and the one woman says, O my adoni, I and this woman settle in one house; and I birthed with her in the house: ¹⁸ and so be it, the third day after I birthed, this woman also birthed: and we are together - no stranger with us in the house except we two in the house: ¹⁹ and the son of this woman dies in the night; because she lies down on it: ²⁰ and she rises in the middle of the night and takes my son from beside me while your maid sleeps and lays it in her bosom; and lays her dead son in my bosom: ²¹ and when I rise in the morning to suckle my son behold, it died: and I discern in the morning, and behold, it is not my son, whom I birthed. ²² And the other woman says, No; but the living is my son, and the dead is your son. And this one says, No; but the dead is your son, and the living is my son. - and they word at the face of the sovereign. ²³
THE FIRST JUDGMENT OF SHELOMOH
Then the sovereign says, This one says, This is my son who lives, and your son is the dead: and that one says, No; but your son is the dead, and my son is the living. ²⁴ And the sovereign says, Take me a sword. - and they bring a sword at the face of the sovereign. ²⁵ And the sovereign says, Cut the living child in two; and give half to the one and half to the one. ²⁶ Then the woman whose son is the living says to the sovereign - for her mercies yearned upon her son and she says, O my adoni, give her the live birthed one; and in deathifying, deathify it not. And the other said, O that it neither be mine nor yours! Cut! ²⁷ And the sovereign answers and says, Give her the live birthed one; and in deathifying, deathify it not: she is the mother thereof. ²⁸ And all Yisra El hears of the judgment the sovereign judged; and they awe at the face of the sovereign: for they see the wisdom of Elohim in his midst to work judgment.

⁷ And he fosters Hadassah, that is, Ester, the daughter of his uncle; for she has neither father nor mother and the lass is beautiful of form and good of visage; whom, when her father and mother died, Mordekay took for his own daughter.

¹⁸ - for as a father he grew up with me from my youth - led her from the belly of my mother.

² The honor of Elohim is to hide a word; and the honor of sovereigns to probe a word.

⁷ The just know the plea of the poor; and the wicked discern to not know it.

¹
WALKING HOLY
So as beloved children, be mimickers of Elohim;

³⁵ and I went out after him and smote him and rescued it from his mouth: and he rose against me, and I held him by his beard and smote him and deathified him:

⁷ Rise, O Yah Veh! Save me, O my Elohim! For you have smitten all my enemies on the cheek bone; you broke the teeth of the wicked.

⁸ as a snail dissolving, they pass away; as the miscarriage of a woman, they see not the sun.

³ then they had swallowed us alive when they kindled their wrath against us:

⁶ Blessed - Yah Veh, who gave us not as a prey to their teeth:

¹⁴ there is a generation whose teeth are swords and their molars knives, to devour the humble from off the earth and the needy from humanity.

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.

⁴⁹ and Yoseph heaps grain as the sand of the sea - mightily abounding, until he ceases scribing - innumerable.

²⁶ You come to your tomb in maturity, as a heap ascends in his time.

¹⁶ After this Iyob lives a hundred and forty years and sees his sons and the sons of his sons - four generations. ¹⁷ And Iyob dies - aged and satisfied of days.

⁶ and in my serenity I say, I totter not eternally. ⁷ O Yah Veh, at your pleasure my mountain stands in strength; you hide your face and I terrify.

¹⁶ with length of days I satisfy him and have him see my salvation.

²³ O settler of Lebanon, who nests in the cedars, how charismatic are you when pangs come on you - the pang as in birthing!

¹⁶ your trembling deceives you - and the arrogance of your heart, O you who tabernacle in the clefts of the rock - who apprehend the height of the hill: though you heighten your nest as high as the eagle, I bring you down from there - an oracle of Yah Veh.

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.

⁹ Ho to him who greedily gains an evil greedy gain to his house - to set his nest on high - to rescue himself from the palm of evil!

¹⁶ His roots wither below and above his harvest is clipped:

³ and being as a tree transplanted by the rivulets of water, giving his fruit in his time: his leaf withers not; and whatever he works, prospers.

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.

⁵ I become as the dew to Yisra El: he blossoms as the lily and smites his roots as Lebanon: ⁶ his sprouts spread and his majesty becomes as the olive and his scent as Lebanon. ⁷ They who settle under his shadow return; they enliven as the crop and blossom as the vine: their memorial is as the wine of Lebanon.

¹³ and you tell my father of all my honor in Misrayim and of all you see; and hasten and descend my father here.

²⁴ and his bow settles perennial and the arms of his hands solidify by the hands of the Almighty of Yaaqov - from there is he who tends, the stone of Yisra El:

⁹ he strips me of my honor and turns aside the crown from my head:

¹⁴ I enrobed justness and it enrobed me; my judgment was as a mantle and a turban;

³ And you, O Yah Veh, my buckler, my honor and the lifter of my head.

³⁴ he teaches my hands to war so my arms bend a bow of steel.

⁵ who satisfies your mouth with good; - renews your youth as the eagle.

³¹ but they who await Yah Veh, change their force; they ascend with pinions as eagles; they run, and belabor not; and they walk, and weary not.

¹⁶ So we weary not; but if indeed our outward humanity corrupts, yet the inward renews day by day.

⁹ governors refrained uttering and set their palm on their mouth; ¹⁰ the eminent hid their voice and their tongue adhered to their palate.

¹¹ Behold, I awaited your words; I gave ear to your reasons as you probed utterances: ¹² yes, I discerned you; and behold, none of you reproved Iyob or answered his sayings:

² My doctrine drips as the rain; my sayings flow as the dew - as the shower on the tender sprout and as the showers on the herbage:

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.

³¹ Mark well, O Iyob, hearken to me; hush and I word. ³² If you have utterances, respond; word, for I desire to justify you. ³³ If not, hearken to me; hush - and I teach you wisdom.

¹¹ Your lips, O bride, drip as the honeycomb; honey and milk are under your tongue; and the scent of your clothes is as the scent of Lebanon.

¹⁵ thus he sprinkles many goyim; the sovereigns shut their mouths at him: for what was not scribed to them, they see; and what they heard not, they discern.

⁴⁶ Son of humanity, set your face in the southerly way and drop southward and prophesy against the forest of the south field;

¹⁶ And now, hear the word of Yah Veh: You say, Neither prophesy against Yisra El nor drip against the house of Yischaq.

⁶ you drip* not; they drip: they drip not to you, they remove not shame. *drip: as in dripping words.

⁴⁶ And no one is able to answer him a word, and from that day no one dares ask him any more questions.

⁶ He descends as rain on the mown fleece - as showers that water the earth.

³ And we know - we pursue to know Yah Veh: as the dawn he prepares his proceeding; and he comes to us as the downpour - as the after rain pouring to the earth.

THE PROVISION OF YAH VEH
Ask rain of Yah Veh in the time of the after rain! Yah Veh works lightnings and gives them downpours of downpour - herbage to every man in the field:

²⁶ and tell him, saying, Yoseph is yet alive and he is sovereign over all the land of Misrayim. - and the heart of Yaaqov is exhausted for he trusts them not.

¹⁵ Blithe - the people who know the shout; they walk, O Yah Veh, in the light of your face:

¹ A Song of Degrees. When Yah Veh returned the returning of Siyon, we were as dreamers:

⁴¹ and while they yet distrust for cheer, and marvel, he says to them, Have you any food here?

¹⁴ And Abram hears his brother is captured, he draws his hanukked, - three hundred and eighteen birthed in his own house and pursues them to Dan. ¹⁵ And he allots against them by night - he and his servants and smites them and pursues them to Hobah at the left of Dammeseq. ¹⁶ And he returns all his acquisitions and also returns his brother Lot and his acquisitions and also the women and the people: ¹⁷ and the sovereign of Sedom goes out to meet him after his return from the smiting of Kedorlaomer and the sovereigns with him at the valley of Shaveh - Ham Melech.

⁴⁰ you - you be over my house; all my people kiss your mouth: only in the throne I am greater than you.

⁵ and he is sovereign in Yeshurun, in the gathering of the heads of the people - the scions of Yisra El.

⁸ And the elders of Gilad say to Yiphtach, So now, we turn back to you; to go with us and fight the sons of Ammon: and be our head over all the settlers of Gilad.

² Also three yesters ago, when Shaul was sovereign over us, it was you who brought out and brought in Yisra El: and Yah Veh said to you, Tend my people Yisra El! Be eminent over Yisra El!

THE RETURN OF THE ARK
And David counsels with the governors of thousands and hundreds and with every eminence. ² And David says to all the congregation of Yisra El, If it be good to you and that it be of Yah Veh our Elohim, let us send and break forth to our brothers every where who survive in all the land of Yisra El; and to the priests and Leviym with them in their cities and suburbs, to gather unto us: ³ and return the ark of our Elohim to us: for we sought not of him in the days of Shaul. ⁴ And all the congregation says that they work thus: for the word is straight in the eyes of all the people.

³ and his chattel: seven thousand flocks and three thousand camels and five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred she burros and a mighty great servantry; so that this man is the greatest of all the men of the east.

³ Behold, you instructed many and you strengthened the weak hands; ⁴ your utterances raised him who falters and you strengthened the kneeling knees.

³⁷ I tell him my paces; as an eminent I go near him.

³ strengthen the weak hands and strengthen the faltering knees. ⁴ Say to the hasty heart, Be strong! Awe not! Behold, your Elohim! Avengement comes - the dealing of Elohim; he comes and saves you.

¹ A MESSIANIC PROPHECY The Spirit of Adonay Yah Veh is on me; because Yah Veh anointed me to evangelize to the humble: he sent me to bind the brokenhearted; to call out liberty to the captives; and in opening, an opening to the bound: ² to call out the year of pleasure of Yah Veh and the day of avengement of our Elohim: to sigh over all who mourn; ³ to set to them who mourn in Siyon; to give to them adornment for ashes; the oil of rejoicing for mourning; the mantle of halal for the spirit of heaviness; and he calls them, Mighty Oaks of Justness - the planting of Yah Veh to adorn.

³ Eulogized be Elohim even the Father of our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah - the Father of compassions and the Elohim of all consolation: ⁴ who consoles us in all our tribulation; so that we can console those in any tribulation; through the consolation whereby we ourselves are consoled of Elohim.

⁵ For when we came into Macedonia our flesh had no relaxation; but we were tribulated in all - outward strifes - inward awes. ⁶ Yet Elohim who consoles the humbled consoled us in the appearing of Titus; ⁷ and not only in his appearing; but in the consolation wherewith he was consoled in you - when he evangelized us of your yearning, your grieving, your zeal toward me; so that I cheered the more.

² and sent Timo Theos our brother and minister of Elohim and our co-worker in the evangelism of the Messiah to establish you and to console you concerning your trust: ³ that no one be shaken in these tribulations: for you yourselves know that we are set thereto.
