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.

SHIMSHON AND DELILAH
And so be it, afterward, he loves a woman in the wadi of Soreq her name is Delilah. ⁵ And the ringleaders of the Peleshethiy ascend to her and say to her, Entice him; and see wherein his great force is and how to prevail against him - so as to bind him to humble him; and each man of us gives you eleven hundred silvers. ⁶ And Delilah says to Shimshon, Tell me, I beseech you, wherein your great force is and how to bind you to humble you. ⁷ And Shimshon says to her, If they bind me with seven fresh cords, never parched, then I become worn, and become as one human. ⁸ Then the ringleaders of the Peleshethiy ascend seven fresh cords to her which have not been parched; and she binds him with them. ⁹ And men lurk - settling in the chamber with her: and she says to him, The Peleshethiy on you, Shimshon! And he tears the cords as a braid of tuft is torn when it scents the fire: and his force is not known. ¹⁰ And Delilah says to Shimshon, Behold, you mock me and word lies: now tell me, I beseech you, how to bind you. ¹¹ He says to her, If in binding, they bind me with new ropes which have never been worked, then I wear out, and become as one man. ¹² And Delilah takes new ropes and binds him therewith; and says to him, The Peleshethiy on you, Shimshon! And lurkers settle in the chamber: and he tears them from his arms as a thread. ¹³ And Delilah says to Shimshon, Until now you mock me and word lies! Tell me how to bind you. And he says to her, If you weave the seven braids of my head with the web. ¹⁴ And she stakes them with the stake and says to him, The Peleshethiy on you, Shimshon! And he wakes from his sleep and pulls out the stake of the weaver and the web. ¹⁵ And she says to him, How say you, I love you, when your heart is not with me? You mock me these three times and tell me not wherein your great force is.

¹⁵ And she says to him, How say you, I love you, when your heart is not with me? You mock me these three times and tell me not wherein your great force is. ¹⁶ And so be it, when she oppresses him all days with her words and urges him, his soul shortens to die; ¹⁷ and he tells her all his heart and says to her, No razor ascends my head; for I am a Separatist to Elohim from the belly of my mother: if I become shaven, my force turns from me and I become worn and become as any one human. ¹⁸ And when Delilah sees that he tells her all his heart, she sends and calls the ringleaders of the Peleshethiy, saying, Ascend this one time, for he tells me all his heart. And the ringleaders of the Peleshethiy ascend to her and ascend silver in their hand: ¹⁹ and she has him sleep on her knees; and she calls for a man to shave the seven braids of his head; and she begins to abase him and his force turns from him. ²⁰ And she says, The Peleshethiy on you, Shimshon! And he wakens from his sleep and says, I go out as time by time and shake myself. - and he knows not that Yah Veh turned from him. 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.

³³ and blessed - your perception and blessed - you who restrains me this day from coming to blood and from saving myself by my own hand. ³⁴ And as Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El lives, who withheld me from vilifying you, unless you had hastened to come to meet me, there had not remained to Nabal by the morning light any who urinates against the wall. ³⁵ And David takes from her hand what she brings him, and says to her, Ascend in shalom to your house! See, I hearken to your voice and spare your face. ³⁶ And Abi Gail comes to Nabal; and behold, he holds a banquet in his house, as the banquet of a sovereign; and the heart of Nabal is good within him, and he is mighty intoxicated: she tells him no word, less or great, until the morning light.

³⁶ And Abi Gail comes to Nabal; and behold, he holds a banquet in his house, as the banquet of a sovereign; and the heart of Nabal is good within him, and he is mighty intoxicated: she tells him no word, less or great, until the morning light. ³⁷ And so be it, in the morning, the wine is gone from Nabal and his woman tells him these words; and his heart dies within him and he becomes as a stone.

³⁷ And so be it, in the morning, the wine is gone from Nabal and his woman tells him these words; and his heart dies within him and he becomes as a stone. ³⁸ And so be it, about ten days, and Yah Veh smites Nabal and he dies.

¹⁶ And he descends him, and behold, they disperse upon the face of all the earth, eating and drinking and celebrating, because of all the great spoil they took from the land of the Peleshethiy and from the land of Yah Hudah. ¹⁷ And David smites them from the evening breeze to the evening of the morrow: and not a man of them escapes except four hundred lads flee riding on camels.

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.

²⁶ And Abi Shalom says, If not, I pray you, have my brother Amnon go with us. And the sovereign says to him, Why have him go with you? ²⁷ And Abi Shalom breaches on him to send Amnon away with all the sons of the sovereign. ²⁸ And Abi Shalom misvahs his lads, saying, Now see, when the heart of Amnon is good with wine, and I say to you, Smite Amnon! Deathify him! Awe not! I - misvah I you not? Strengthen! Sons of valour!

²⁸ And Abi Shalom misvahs his lads, saying, Now see, when the heart of Amnon is good with wine, and I say to you, Smite Amnon! Deathify him! Awe not! I - misvah I you not? Strengthen! Sons of valour!

⁴⁸ and thus also says the sovereign, Blessed - Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, who gives one to settle on my throne this day - my eyes seeing.

DAVID MISVAHS SHELOMOH
And the days approach for David to die; and he misvahs Shelomoh his son, saying, ² I go the way of all the earth: Strengthen! Manly! ³ Guard the guard of Yah Veh your Elohim! Walk in his ways! Guard his statutes and his misvoth and his judgments and his witnesses as inscribed in the torah of Mosheh - so that you comprehend in all you work and wherever you face:

⁹ And now exonerate him not: for you are a wise man and know what you ought to work to him; and his grayness descends to sheol with blood.

⁹ and his servant Zimri governor of half his chariots conspires against him as he is in Tirsah - drinking himself intoxicated in the house of Arsa the steward of the house in Tirsah:

¹⁶ and they go at noon: and Ben Hadad is drinking himself intoxicated in the sukkoth/brush arbors - he and the sovereigns - the thirty-two sovereigns who help him. ¹⁷ And the lads of the governors of the jurisdictions go first: and Ben Hadad sends them out and they tell him, saying, Men come from Shomeron! ¹⁸ And he says, If they come for shalom, apprehend them alive; and if they come for war, apprehend them alive. ¹⁹ So these lads of the governors of the jurisdictions go from the city; and the valiant after them. ²⁰ And every one smites his man: and the Aramiy flee; and Yisra El pursues them: and Ben Hadad the sovereign of Aram escapes on a horse with the cavalry: ²¹ and the sovereign of Yisra El comes and smites the horses and chariots and smites the Aramiy with a great stroke. ²² And the prophet comes near the sovereign of Yisra El and says to him, Go! Strengthen! And perceive and see what to work: for at the turn of the year the sovereign of Aram ascends against you.

⁹ And Yabes is more honorable than his brothers: and his mother calls his name Yabes, saying, Because I birthed him with contortion. ¹⁰ And Yabes calls on Elohim of Yisra El, saying, Oh that in blessing, you bless me and abound my border; and that your hand be with me and not work evil or contort me! - and Elohim grants him what he asks.

¹⁴ and an angel comes to Iyob and says, The oxen were plowing and the she burros tending at their hands; 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. ¹⁶ While he is yet wording, another also comes and says, The fire of Elohim fell from the heavens and burned up the flocks and the lads and consumed them; 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.

²⁷ Yes, you fell the orphan and you dig for your friend.

²⁵ I know that my redeemer lives and rises at the latter on the dust;

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

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

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;

⁹ they strip the orphan from the breast and take a pledge of the humble;

¹² And wisdom, where is it found? Where is the place of discernment? ¹³ Man neither knows the appraisal; nor finds it in the land of the living. ¹⁴ The abyss says, Not in me! And the sea says, Not with me! ¹⁵ Neither is gold given for it nor silver weighed for the price: ¹⁶ nor balanced with the ore of Ophir - with the esteemed onyx, or the sapphire. ¹⁷ Neither are the gold and the crystal ranked with it nor exchanged for instruments of pure gold: ¹⁸ nor corals or pearls remembered; for the sowing of wisdom is above pearls. ¹⁹ Neither is the topaz of Kush ranked with it; nor balanced with ore.

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

¹ And yet, I beseech you, Iyob, hear my utterances and hearken to all my words:

¹⁸ Neither are the needy forgotten in perpetuity; nor the hope of the humble destructs eternally.

² Every man words vanity with his friend; with lips that smooth it over they word heart to heart.

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.

¹ By David. Neither inflame because of vilifiers nor envious against workers of wickedness. ² For they are quickly clipped as the grass and wither as the green sprout. ³ Confide in Yah Veh and work good; thus you tabernacle in the land and tend to trustworthiness.

³⁷ Regard the integrious and see the straight; for the finality of that man is shalom.

⁶ Surely every man walks in an image; surely they roar in vain: he heaps and knows not who gathers.

²¹ his mouth is more tender than butter but in his heart, war; his words are softer than ointment, yet, openings.

¹² They who settle in the portal meditate against me; - I the song of them drinking intoxicants.

³ For I envy them who halal when I see the shalom of the wicked: ⁴ for there are no bands in their death: their might fattens; ⁵ they are neither in toil of man nor touched as humans. ⁶ So pomp chokes them; violence shrouds them as a masculine garment: ⁷ their eyes stand out with fat; they surpass the imagination of the heart:

⁸ For there is a cup in the hand of Yah Veh: the wine foams; it is full of mixture: and he pours thus; surely, all the wicked of the earth wring out and drink the dregs.

⁶ they slaughter the widow and the sojourner and murder the orphan:

⁴³ Who is wise and guards these, discerns the mercy of Yah Veh.

¹⁰ The awe of Yah Veh is the beginning of wisdom; all who work them have good comprehension; his halal stands eternal.

² blithed - they who guard his witnesses - who seek him with the whole heart:

⁹ BETH. How purifies a young man his way? By guarding according to your word. ¹⁰ With my whole heart I sought you; that I not err inadvertantly from your misvoth: ¹¹ I treasure your sayings in my heart that I not sin against you.

³⁶ spread my heart to your witnesses and not to greed: ³⁷ pass my eyes from seeing vanity; and enliven me in your way:

³⁷ pass my eyes from seeing vanity; and enliven me in your way:

⁷² the torah of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver.

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

⁴ spread not my heart to any evil word - to exploit wicked exploits with men who work mischief - that I not eat of their delicacies.

⁷ to awe of Yah Veh is the beginning of knowledge; fools disrespect wisdom and discipline. ⁸ My son, hear the discipline of your father and abandon not the torah of your mother:

¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice you, be not willing:

¹ My son, if you take my sayings and hide my misvoth with you ² - to hearken your ear to wisdom and spread your heart to discernment;

² - to hearken your ear to wisdom and spread your heart to discernment; ³ yes, if you call after discernment and give your voice for discerning;

³ yes, if you call after discernment and give your voice for discerning; ⁴ if you seek her as silver and search for her as hid treasures

⁴ if you seek her as silver and search for her as hid treasures ⁵ - then you discern the awe of Yah Veh and find the knowledge of Elohim. ⁶ For Yah Veh gives wisdom - from his mouth knowledge and discernment:

¹² to rescue you from the way of evil - from the man who words perversions:

¹⁶ to rescue you from the strange woman - from the stranger who smoothes it over with her sayings; ¹⁷ who forsakes the chiliarch of her youth and forgets the covenant of her Elohim. ¹⁸ For her house sinks to death and her routes to ghosts. ¹⁹ Neither return they who go to her nor overtake they of the paths of life.

¹ My son, forget not my torah; and your heart guard my misvoth;

⁵ Confide in Yah Veh with all your heart and lean not to your own discernment:

⁷ be not wise in your own eyes; awe Yah Veh and turn aside from evil

³¹ neither envy the man of violence nor choose his ways:

¹ Hear, you sons, the discipline of a father; and hearken to know discernment;

⁴ and teaches me and says to me, O that your heart uphold my words; guard my misvoth and live. ⁵ Chattelize wisdom; chattelize discernment: neither forget nor spread from the sayings of my mouth. ⁶ Forsake her not, and she guards you; love her, and she guards you: ⁷ the firstfruits, wisdom; chattelize wisdom: and with all your chattelizing chattelize discernment.

¹⁰ Hear, O my son, and take my sayings; and abound the years of your life: ¹¹ I teach you in the way of wisdom; I aim you in routes of straightness: ¹² so that as you walk, your paces constrain not; and as you run, you stumble not. ¹³ Uphold discipline; let not go: guard her; for she is your life: ¹⁴ neither enter the path of the wicked nor blithe in the way of evil. ¹⁵ Avoid, pass not in; deviate therefrom, and pass on: ¹⁶ for they sleep not unless they vilify; and they strip their sleep until they trip some: ¹⁷ for they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. ¹⁸ And the path of the just is as the brilliant light that goes and lights more and more to establish the day. ¹⁹ The way of the wicked is as darkness; they know not at what they stumble. ²⁰ My son, hearken to my words; spread your ear to my sayings: ²¹ pervert them not from your eyes; guard them midst your heart: ²² for they are life to them who find them and healing to all their flesh: ²³ guard your heart under guard; for from it are the issues of life:

²³ guard your heart under guard; for from it are the issues of life:

²⁵ - your eyes looking straightforward and straightening your eyelids in front of you: ²⁶ weigh the route of your feet and establish all your ways: ²⁷ spread neither to the right nor to the left; turn aside your foot from evil.

¹ My son, hearken to my wisdom; spread your ear to my discernment: ² to regard intrigue and your lips guard knowledge:

¹¹ and you growl at the finality when your flesh and your meat finish off,

⁶ Go to the ant, you sloth; see her ways and enwisen:

⁹ Until when lie you down, O sloth? When rise you from your sleep? ¹⁰ A little sleep; a little drowsiness; a little clasping of the hands to lie down: ¹¹ thus comes your poverty - as one who walks and your lack - as a man with buckler.

²⁰ My son, guard the misvah of your father and abandon not the torah of your mother:

²⁵ Neither desire her beauty in your heart; nor be overtaken by her eyelids:

¹² - at this time in the outways at that time in the broadways and lurks beside every corner.

²² suddenly he goes after her - as an ox going to the slaughter - as a fool to the discipline of tinklers: ²³ until an arrow strikes through his liver; as a bird hastens to the snare and knows not it is for his soul. ²⁴ Now, you sons, hearken to me; hearken to the sayings of my mouth: ²⁵ neither deviate your heart to her ways; nor stray in her paths: ²⁶ for she casts down many pierced; slaughters many mighty: ²⁷ her house is the way to sheol descending to the chambers of death.

⁶ hear; for I speak of eminence; and the opening of my lips of straightnesses:

² she slaughtered her slaughter; she mixed her wine; she arranged her table;

⁶ Forsake the gullible and live; blithesome in the way of discernment. ⁷ He who disciplines a scorner takes abasement to himself: and he who reproves the wicked blemishes. ⁸ Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate you; reprove a wise, and he loves you:

¹⁸ - and he knows not that ghosts are there; and that her called ones are in the depths of sheol.

¹ The Proverbs of Shelomoh. A wise son cheers a father; and a foolish son is the grief of his mother.

²⁴ He who spares his scion hates his son; and he who loves him rises early and disciplines him.

¹⁶ Better, little with the awe of Yah Veh than great treasure with confusion:

²⁰ A wise son cheers a father; and a foolish human despises his mother.

²⁷ He who is greedy of greed troubles his own house; and he who hates gifts lives.

¹⁶ To chattelize wisdom; how much better than ore! and to chattelize discernment to be chosen above silver!

¹⁶ Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to chattelize wisdom, when he has no heart for it?

²⁵ A foolish son is a vexation to his father and bitterness to her who birthed him.

¹⁵ The heart of the discerning chattelizes knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

¹⁵ Sloth falls into a deep sleep; and a deceitful soul famishs.

¹⁸ Discipline your son while there is hope and lift not your soul for his death.

²² The desire of a human is his mercy; better, impoverishment than a man of lies.

¹ Wine scorns; intoxicants roar; and whoever errs inadvertently enwisens not.

¹⁷ Whoever loves cheerfulness is a man of lack; whoever loves wine and ointment enriches not.

⁹ He who has a good eye is blessed; for he gives of his bread to the poor.

¹⁴ The mouth of strangers is a chasm; he who enrages Yah Veh falls therein. ¹⁵ Folly is bound in the heart of a lad; and the scion of discipline removes it far from him.

¹⁷ Spread your ear and hear the words of the wise and set your heart to my knowledge:

²³ for Yah Veh defends their defence and defrauds the soul of their defrauders.

²⁸ Remove not the eternal border, your fathers worked.

³ Neither desire his delicacies for they are a bread of lies:

⁶ Neither eat the bread of an evil eye nor desire his delicacies;

¹² Apply your heart to discipline and your ears to the words of knowledge.

¹⁵ My son, if your heart enwisens, my heart cheers - even mine. ¹⁶ yes, my reins rejoice when your lips word straightnesses.

¹⁹ Hear you, my son and enwisen and blithe your heart in the way.

²¹ for the carouser and the glutton become dispossessed; and drowsiness enrobes with shreds.

²⁴ In twirling, the father of the just twirls; and he who births the wise cheers in him. ²⁵ Your father and your mother cheer and she who birthed you twirls. ²⁶ My son, give me your heart so that your eyes guard my ways.

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.

¹ Neither be envious against evil men nor desire to be with them:

¹⁴ thus is the knowledge of wisdom to your soul; when you find, then there is a finality and your hope is not cut off.

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

³⁰ I passed by the field of the man of sloth and by the vineyard of the human lacking heart; ³¹ and behold, it all ascends with thistles and nettles cover the face and the stone wall is broken down. ³² Then I see and set my heart well - I see and take discipline. ³³ A little sleep; a little drowsiness; a little clasping of the hands to lie down: ³⁴ and so be your poverty as one who travels; and your lack as a man with buckler.

⁴ Answer not a fool according to his folly lest you also be likened to him - even you; ⁵ answer a fool according to his folly lest he be wise in his own eyes.

¹¹ As a dog returns to his vomit, thus a fool repeats his folly. ¹² See a man wise in his own eyes? More hope of a fool than of him.

²² Though you pestle a fool in a pestle among grits with a pestle, yet his folly turns not aside from him.

²⁴ For neither is wealth eternal; nor the separatism generation to generation.

⁷ Whoever guards the torah is a discerning son; and he who befriends gluttons shames his father.

¹⁴ Blithe - the human who continually dreads; and he who hardens his heart, falls into evil.

²⁰ A trustworthy man abounds with blessings; and he who hastens to enrich, is not exonerated.

²² The man who hastens to have wealth has an evil eye and perceives not that lack comes on him.

³ The man who loves wisdom cheers his father; and he who befriends whores, destroys his wealth.

¹⁵ The scion and reproof give wisdom; and a lad sent away shames his mother.

¹⁷ Discipline your son and he gives you rest; yes, he gives delicately to your soul.

¹¹ There is a generation who abases their father and blesses not their mother:

¹⁷ The eye that derides father and disrespects to obey mother; the ravens of the wadi bore through and the sons of eagles eat.

⁵ lest they drink and forget the statute and alter the plea of any of the sons of humiliation. 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.

² Vanity of vanities, says the Congregationer: Vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

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.

⁷ For in the abundance of dreams words and vanities abound; but awe Elohim.

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.

²⁶ and I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is lairs and devoted and her hands as bands; whoever is good at the face of Elohim escapes from her; and the sinner is captured by her.

⁸ Whoever digs a pit, falls therein; and whoever breaches a wall, a serpent bites:

⁸ Vanity of vanities! says the Congregationer: All is vanity.

¹³ Hear the conclusion of the whole word; Awe Elohim! Guard his misvoth! For this is the whole of humanity. ¹⁴ For Elohim brings every work into judgment, with every concealment, whether good; whether evil.

¹¹ Ho to them who start early in the morning to pursue intoxicants; who linger in the evening breeze until wine inflames them:

²¹ Ho to them, the wise in their own eyes, and discerning in their own face! ²² Ho to them, the mighty to drink wine, and men of valour to mix intoxicants:

¹³ and behold, rejoicing and cheerfulness, slaughtering oxen and slaughtering flock, eating flesh and drinking wine. Eat and drink - for tomorrow we die.

¹
HO TO EPHRAYIM
Ho, to the crown of pomp - to the intoxicated of Ephrayim whose adornment of splendor is a withering blossom on the head of the valleys of ointment of them who are hammered with wine! ² Behold, might and strength to Adonay - as a tempest of hail and a ruinous whirling; as a flood of many waters overflowing set to the earth with the hand. ³ The crown of pomp - the intoxicated of Ephrayim are trampled under foot:

³ The crown of pomp - the intoxicated of Ephrayim are trampled under foot:

⁷ And even they, through wine, err inadvertently; and through intoxicants, stagger; the priest and the prophet, through intoxicants, err inadvertently - swallowed by wine: they stagger through intoxicants; they err inadvertently in sight; they waver in judgment. ⁸ For all tables are filled with vomit and dung, without a clean place.

²¹ And they hush and answer him not a word: for the misvah of the sovereign is, saying, Answer him not.

¹ THE OPEN INVITATION OF YAH VEH Ho, every one who thirsts! Come to the waters! And he who has no silver, come, market for kernels, and eat; yes, come, market for kernels, wine and milk - without silver and without price. ² Why weigh silver for what is not bread? And labor for what satisfies not? In hearkening, hearken to me, and eat what is good, that your soul delight itself in fatness.

¹² You, come; I take wine, and we carouse with intoxicants; and tomorrow is as this day - a mighty great remainder.

⁵ they split the eggs of the hisser, and weave the web of the spider: he who eats their eggs dies, and the crushed egg splits into a hisser.

² Lift your eyes to the barrens and see! Where have you not raped? You sit for them in the ways as the Arabiy in the wilderness; and you profane the land with your whoredoms and with your evil.

³ O Yah Veh, are not your eyes on trustworthiness? you smite them, and they writhe not; you finish them off, and they refuse to take correction: they toughen their faces as a rock; they refuse to return.

³¹ the prophets prophesy falsely and the priests subjugate by their hands; and thus my people love it. And what work you in the end?

⁵ For if, in well-preparing, you well-prepare your ways and your exploitations; if in working, you work judgment between a man and his friend;

¹⁷ For, behold, I send serpents - hissers among you, who have no charmer; and they bite you - an oracle of Yah Veh.

³ Thus says Yah Veh: Work judgment and justness and rescue the stripped from the hand of the oppressor: and neither wrong nor violate the sojourner, the orphan and the widow; nor pour innocent blood in this place.

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.

¹¹ For I know the fabrications I fabricate toward you - an oracle of Yah Veh: fabrications of shalom and not of evil, to give you a posterity and hope.

¹⁸ In hearing, I hear Ephrayim wagging over himself; You disciplined me - disciplined me as a calf not trained: return me, and I return; for you are Yah Veh my Elohim.

⁴¹ Yes, I rejoice over them to do them good, and I plant them in this land in truth with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

³³ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth; The sons of Yisra El and the sons of Yah Hudah are oppressed: and all who capture them hold them; they refuse to send them away. ³⁴ Their Redeemer is strong; Yah Veh Sabaoth is his name: in pleading, he pleads their plea - to rest the land and quake the settlers of Babel.

³⁶ So thus says Yah Veh: Behold, I plead your plea, and avenge your avengement: and I parch her sea and dry her fountains:

³¹ And they come to you as people approaching and they sit at your face as my people; and they hear your words, and work them not: for they work pantings with their mouth but their heart goes after their greedy gain:

⁸ And Dani El sets in his heart to not profane with the delicacies of the sovereign or with the wine he drinks: and he beseeches the governor of the eunuchs that he not profane:

⁸ And Dani El sets in his heart to not profane with the delicacies of the sovereign or with the wine he drinks: and he beseeches the governor of the eunuchs that he not profane: ⁹ and Elohim gives Dani El mercy and mercies at the face of the governor of the eunuchs. ¹⁰ And the governor of the eunuchs says to Dani El, I fear my adoni the sovereign who numbers your food and your drink: for why sees he your faces enraged more than the children of your circle? You have me owe my head to the sovereign.

⁴ They drink fermentation; and laud the elahim of gold and of silver, of copper, of iron, of timber and of stone.

²⁷ And the hearts of both of these sovereign vilify; and at one table they word lies; and it prospers not: for yet the end is in season.

¹¹ Whoredom and wine and juice take away the heart:

⁵ In the day of our sovereign the governors stroke him with wine of fury; he draws his hand with scorners:

⁹ Who is wise, and discerns these? Discerns, and knows them? For straight are the ways of Yah Veh and the just walk therein: and the rebels falter therein.

⁵ Waken, you intoxicants, and weep; and howl, all you drinkers of wine: because the squeezed juice is cut off from your mouth.

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:

⁶ who drink wine in sprinklers and anoint themselves with the firstlings ointments; who are not worn out for the breach of Yoseph:

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;

¹⁰ For while they entwine as thorns, and while they carouse as carousers, they are consumed as stubble fully dry.

¹⁷ Yah Veh your Elohim midst you is mighty; he saves; he rejoices over you with cheerfulness; he hushes in his love; he twirls over you with shouting.

¹⁰ and oppress not widow and orphan, sojourner and humble; and no man of you fabricate evil against his brother in your heart.

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.

²⁸ But I word to you, That whoever observes a woman - to pant after her already adulterizes with her in his heart. 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.

¹⁹
TREASURING TREASURES
Treasure not for yourselves treasures on earth; where moth and rust dissolve and where thieves break through and steal:

⁶
GIVING, ASKING, SEEKING, AND KNOCKING
Neither give the holy to the hounds nor cast you your pearls in front of swine; lest ever they trample them at their feet and turn and rip you apart.

²
YAH SHUA HEALS A PARALYTIC
And behold, they offer him a paralytic lying on a bed: and seeing their trust Yah Shua says to the paralytic; Courage, child; your sins are forgiven. ³
SCRIBES ACCUSE YAH SHUA OF BLASPHEMY
And behold, some of the scribes say within themselves, This one blasphemes. ⁴ And Yah Shua, knowing their deliberations, says, Why ponder evil in your hearts?

³⁷ Whoever befriends father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and whoever befriends son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me: ³⁸ and whoever takes not his stake and follows after me is not worthy of me.

⁴⁴
THE PARABLE OF THE SECRETED TREASURE
Again, the sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to treasure secreted in a field: which, when a human finds, he secretes; and for cheer thereof goes and sells all - as much as he has, and markets that field.

⁴⁶ who, when he finds one pearl, vastly precious, goes and sells all - as much as he has and markets it.

⁵²
THE PARABLE OF THE HOUSEDESPOTES
And he says to them, So every scribe discipled to the sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to a human housedespotes who ejects new and old from his treasure.

⁴ For Elohim misvahed, wording, Honor your father and mother: and, Whoever vilifies father or mother, deathify him to death. ⁵ But you word, Whoever says to his father or his mother, An oblation - by whatever you benefit by me; ⁶ and in no way honors his father or his mother. - thus you invalidate the misvah of Elohim for your tradition. ^{Exodus 20:12, 21:17}

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?

⁸
AVOIDING SCANDALIZINGS
And if your hand or your foot scandalizes you, exscind them and cast them from you: it is well for you to enter life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet and cast into eternal fire. ⁹ And if your eye scandalizes you, pluck it and cast it from you: it is well for you to enter life one-eyed rather than having two eyes cast into the fire of Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning.

¹⁵ Am I not allowed to do what I will with my own? Is your eye evil because I am good?

³⁸ For exactly as in the days preceding the cataclysm - eating and drinking, marrying and marrying off, until the day Noach entered the ark;

⁴⁹ and begins to strike his co-servants and to eat and drink with the intoxicated;

⁴⁹ and begins to strike his co-servants and to eat and drink with the intoxicated; ⁵⁰ the adoni of that servant comes in a day when he expects not and in an hour he knows not;

¹⁰ for Mosheh said, Honor your father and your mother; and, Whoever vilifies father or mother, dies the death. ^{Exodus 20:12, 21:17, Leviticus 20:9}

²² thefts, avarices, evils, deceit, lasciviousness, maliciousness, blasphemy, pride, thoughtlessness:

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:

³¹ And behold, you conceive in your womb and birth a son: and call his name Yah Shua. ³² He becomes mega and is called the Son of Elyon: and Yah Veh Elohim gives him the throne of his father David: ³³ and he reigns over the house of Yaaqov to the eons; and there is no finality of his sovereigndom.

⁴⁰ and enters the house of Zechar Yah and salutes Eli Sheba. ⁴¹
THE SONG OF ELI SHEBA
And so be it, when Eli Sheba hears the salutation of Miryam, the infant leaps in her womb; and Eli Sheba fullfills/shalams with the Holy Spirit. ⁴² And with a mega voice, she exclaims and says, Eulogized - you among women! And eulogized - the fruit of your womb! ⁴³ And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Adonay comes to me? ⁴⁴ For behold, as soon as the voice of your salutation became in my ears, the infant leaped in my womb and jumped for joy: ⁴⁵ and blessed is she who trusts: for there becomes a fulfilling/shalaming of those spoken to her by Yah Veh. ⁴⁶
THE SONG OF MIRYAM
And Miryam says, My soul magnifies Yah Veh, ⁴⁷ and my spirit jumps for joy in Elohim my Saviour:

⁵⁸ and her fellow settlers and her kindred hear how Yah Veh magnifies her; and they rejoice with her.

³⁹ But the Pharisee who called him, sees, and speaks within himself, wording, This - if he is a prophet, knows who and what manner of woman this is who touches him - for she is a sinner.

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. ²⁸ But he says, Still rather, blessed - whoever hear the word of Elohim and guard it.

³⁷
YAH SHUA ON THE SIX WOES
And as he speaks, a Pharisee asks him to dine with him: and he enters, and reposes: ³⁸ and the Pharisee sees, and marvels that he not first baptizes preceding dinner. ³⁹ And Adonay says to him, Now you Pharisees purify the cup and the platter outward; but your inward is full of plunder and wickedness. ⁴⁰ Thoughtless! He who made the outward made he not also the inward? ⁴¹ But rather give mercies of your inward self; and behold, all are pure to you. ⁴² But woe to you, Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all herbs; and pass over judgment and the love of Elohim: these you must do, and not forsake the other. ⁴³ Woe to you, Pharisees! for you love the preeminent cathedras in the synagogues and salutations in the markets. ⁴⁴ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees! Hypocrites! for you are as covered tombs, and the humans who walk over know it not. ⁴⁵ And one of the torahists answers, wording, Doctor, Thus wording, you also insult us. ⁴⁶ And he says, Woe to you also, you torahists! For you overburden humanity with oppressive burdens; and you yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. ⁴⁷ Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers slaughtered them: ⁴⁸ then you witness that you well-approve the works of your fathers: for they indeed slaughtered them, and you build their tombs. ⁴⁹ Because of this also the wisdom of Elohim says, I apostolize them prophets and apostles, and of them, they slaughter and persecute: ⁵⁰ that the blood of all the prophets, poured from the foundation of the cosmos, is required of this generation ⁵¹ - from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechar Yah - who destructed between the sacrifice altar and the house: yes, I word to you, It is required of this generation. ⁵² Woe to you, torahists! For you take the key of knowledge: and you yourselves enter not; and them entering, you forbid. ⁵³ And as he words these to them, the scribes and the Pharisees begin to begrudge him excessively and to provoke him to instruct about much ⁵⁴ - lurking for him, and seeking to hunt something from his mouth, to accuse him.

⁴⁵ But whenever that servant says in his heart, My adoni takes his time in coming; and he begins to strike the lads and lasses; and to eat and drink and to intoxicate; 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.

²⁶ If anyone comes to me, and hates not his father and mother and woman and children and brothers and sisters - yes, and even his own soul, he cannot be my disciple.

¹³ And not many days after the younger son gathers all together and goes abroad to a distant region; and there squanders his substance with dissipative living

²³ and bring the fatted calf and sacrifice; and eat, and rejoice: ²⁴ for this my son was dead, and relives; he was lost, and is found. - and they begin to rejoice.

³² It is necessary to rejoice, and cheer: for this your brother was dead and relives; and was lost, and is found.

¹⁴ And the Pharisees who befriend silver also hear all these: and they sneer at him.

¹⁹
YAH SHUA ON THE RICH HUMAN AND EL AZAR
A rich human clothed in purple and white linen rejoices radiantly daily:

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:

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: ²⁶ and beside all this, between us and you, a mega chasm is established: so that whoever wills neither can pass through from hence to you; nor can they pass through to us from there.

²⁷ they ate, they drank, they married, they married off until the day Noach entered the ark, and the cataclysm came and destroyed them all. ²⁸ Likewise also, so it became in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built: ²⁹ but the same day Lot came from Sedom fire and sulphur rained from the heavens and destroyed all.

³⁴ And heed to yourselves, lest ever your hearts burden with hangovers and intoxication and anxieties of existence, so that day stands by you unawares.

²⁷ Work not for the food that destructs; but for the food that abides to eternal life which the Son of humanity gives you: for Elohim the Father sealed him.

⁵² So the Yah Hudiym say to him, Now we know you have a demon: Abraham is dead - and the prophets; and you word, Whenever anyone guards my word, he never tastes death to the eons.

³⁰ The human answers them, saying, Indeed herein is a marvel, that you know not whence he is, and yet he opened my eyes: ³¹ now we know that Elohim hears not sinners: but whenever any is reverent of Elohim and does his will, him he hears. ³² From the first eon it was not heard that anyone opens the eyes of one birthed blind. ³³ Unless this one were of Elohim, he can do naught. ³⁴ They answer him, saying, You are altogether birthed in sins! And you doctrinate us? - and they eject him.

⁴⁰ And some of the Pharisees with him hear these words, and say to him, Are we also blind?

²⁰ And many of them word, He has a demon, and raves! Why hear him?

¹¹ I speak these to you, so that my cheer abides in you, and to fill your cheer.

²⁶ So Yah Shua seeing his mother present - and the disciple whom he loves, he words to his mother, Woman, behold your son! ²⁷ then he words to the disciple, Behold your mother! And from that hour that disciple takes her to his own.

⁵ so Yah Shua words to them, Children, have you any eats? They answer him, No.

³¹ So indeed the ecclesiae has shalom throughout all Yah Hudah and Galiyl and Shomeron; and being built and walking in the awe of Yah Veh and in the consolation of the Holy Spirit they multiply.

⁴⁵ and the Yah Hudiym see the multitudes, and fill/shalam with zeal, and contradict those worded by Paulos, by contradicting and blaspheming. ⁴⁶
PAULOS AND BAR NABI TURN TO THE GOYIM
And Paulos and Bar Nabi embolden, and say, It is necessary that the word of Elohim be spoken to you first: but since you shove it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the goyim:

¹⁸ But some philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoicks encounter him: and some speak, What wills this spermalogist to word? and some others, He thinks well to be an evangelizer of strange demons - because he evangelizes Yah Shua and the resurrection to them.

³² And they hear of the resurrection of the dead, and indeed, some jeer: and others say, We hear you again concerning this.

²³ except that the Holy Spirit witnesses in every city, wording that bonds and tribulations abide me.

²⁵
PAULOS TURNS FROM THE YAH HUDIYM
And disagreeing with one another, they release after Paulos speaks one rhema, Well spoke the Holy Spirit through Yesha Yah the prophet, to our fathers, ²⁶ wording, Go to this people, and say, Hearing you hear, and no way comprehend; and seeing you see, and no way see: ²⁷ for the heart of this people calloused, and their ears burdensome of hearing, and they shut their eyes; lest ever they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and comprehend with their heart and turn around - and I heal them. ^{Isaiah 6:9,10 28}
THE SALVATION OF ELOHIM IS APOSTOLIZED TO THE GOYIM So be it known to you, that the salvation of Elohim is apostolized to the goyim; and they hear it.

²¹ So what fruit had you in those whereof you are now ashamed? For the completion/shalom of those is death.

²¹ So what fruit had you in those whereof you are now ashamed? For the completion/shalom of those is death. ²² And now, being liberated from sin and being subservient to Elohim, you have your fruit to holiness and the completion/shalom - eternal life.

²⁵ For brothers, I will not that you be unknowing of this mystery, lest you think beyond yourselves; that petrifaction by part became Yisra El, until the fulness/shalom of the goyim enter.

¹⁶ of the same thought one toward another; think not highly, but lead with the humble; think not beyond yourselves;

¹³ Walk decorously as in the day; not in carousing and intoxication; not in coition and lechery; not in contention and zeal;

²¹ For since in the wisdom of Elohim the cosmos knew not Elohim through wisdom, Elohim well-approved that through the foolishness of preaching to save them who trust. ²² Since the Yah Hudiym ask a sign and the Hellenes seek after wisdom: ²³ we also - we preach Messiah staked - to the Yah Hudiym, indeed a scandal and to the Hellenes foolishness; ²⁴ and to the called - both Yah Hudiym and Hellenes, Messiah - the dynamis of Elohim and the wisdom of Elohim.

¹⁰ We are fools for sake of the Messiah - and you thoughtful in Messiah; we are frail - and you mighty; you glorious - and we dishonored. ¹¹ Even to this present hour we both famish and thirst - naked and punched and unsettled; ¹² and labor, working with our own hands: abused, we eulogize; persecuted, we tolerate; ¹³ blasphemed, we comfort; we become as the offscouring of the cosmos, the offscrapings of all until now.

⁵ to deliver such an one to Satan - to ruin the flesh - to save the spirit in the day of Adonay Yah Shua.

¹¹ And now I scribe you to not co-mingle; whenever anyone named brother - either a whoremonger or avaricious or an idolater or an abuser or an intoxicator or a plunderer; never ever eat with such a one.

¹⁰ nor thieves nor avaricious nor intoxicators nor abusers nor plunderers inherit the sovereigndom of Elohim.

²⁹ And I say this, brothers, the season is shortened: finally, that both whoever have women be as not having; ³⁰ and whoever weeps as not weeping; and whoever cheers as not cheering; and whoever buys as not holding; ³¹ and whoever uses this cosmos as not abusing: for the configuration of this cosmos passes away.

²⁷ but I subdue my body and bring it to servitude: lest somehow, having preached to others, I myself become disapproved.

⁸ Whore not, exactly as some of them whored and twenty-three thousand fell in one day:

³² and being judged, we are disciplined by Adonay, to not be condemned with the cosmos.

³² If after the manner of humanity I strove with beasts at Ephesus, what benefit I, if the dead rise not? Eat and drink - for tomorrow we die. ³³ Be not seduced; evil homilies corrupt kind habits. ³⁴ Sober up justly and sin not; for some are unknowing of Elohim: I word this to shame you.

¹⁴ For the love of the Messiah holds us together; because we judge thus: that if one died for all, thus all are dead: ¹⁵ and he died for all, that whoever lives, lives no longer to themselves, but to him who died for them and rose.

¹
THE CALL TO PURIFY
So beloved, having these pre-evangelisms, we purify ourselves from all staining of the flesh and spirit, fully completing/shalaming holiness in the awe of Elohim.

⁵ And not exactly as we hoped, but first they gave their own selves to Adonay and to us through the will of Elohim.

²¹ envyings, murders, intoxication, carousings and such like: of which I forespeak exactly as I also foretold, that whoever transacts such inherit not the sovereigndom of Elohim.

¹⁷ that through the trust the Messiah dwell in your hearts; that you, being rooted and founded in love,

¹⁹ who being apathetic surrender themselves to lechery; working all impurity in avarice.

²² that concerning your previous behavior you put off the old humanity, which according to the pantings of delusion is corrupt;

²⁹ Have no putrefied word proceed from your mouth; but if there be any good to the edifying of what is needed that it give charism to the hearers.

⁴ neither shamefulness nor morology nor repartee which are not proper: but rather eucharistize.

¹⁸ And be not intoxicated with wine wherein is dissipation; but be filled full/shalamed in Spirit;

¹ Children, obey your parents in Adonay: for this is just. ² Honor your father and mother; which is the first misvah in pre-evangelism;

²⁰ according to my intense anticipation and hope, that I be ashamed in naught, but that in all boldness, as always, thus now also Messiah is magnified in my body, - whether through life - whether through death.

⁷ But what was gain to me, I deemed loss for the Messiah. ⁸ Yes indeed, I still deem all loss for the superiority of the knowledge of Messiah Yah Shua my Adonay: for whom I lost all and deemed to be hound dog droppings to gain Messiah

¹⁹ whose completion/shalom is destruction, whose elohim is their belly, whose glory is in their shame, who think earthly.

⁴ to manifest as I must speak.

¹⁹ For what is our hope? Or cheer? Or wreath of boasting? Or indeed are not even you in front of our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah at his parousia? ²⁰ For you are our glory and cheer.

⁸ for now we live - whenever you stand firm in Adonay. ⁹ For what eucharist can we recompense to Elohim for you, for all the cheer wherewith we cheer for your sakes in front of our Elohim

² For yourselves know precisely that the day of Adonay comes thus - as a thief in the night. ³ For whenever they word, Shalom and security; then unexpected ruin stands over them - exactly as travail upon a woman having in womb; and they never no way escape. ⁴ And you brothers, are not in darkness, that the day overtake you as a thief. ⁵ You are all the sons of light and the sons of the day: we are neither of night nor of darkness. ⁶ So we sleep not as the rest; but we watch and are sober. ⁷ For whoever sleeps, sleeps in the night; and whoever intoxicates, intoxicates in the night.

⁸ And having sustenance and covering, be satisfied. ⁹ And whoever wills to be rich falls into testing and a snare; and into many mindless and injurious pantings, which sink humanity in ruin and destruction. ¹⁰ For befriending silver is the root of all evil: which, while some reach for, strayed from the trust and pierced themselves through with many griefs.

¹⁷
WARNING THE RICH
Evangelize them who are rich in this eon, that they neither be highminded nor hope in uncertain riches - but in the living Elohim who presents us richly to enjoy all;

⁹ yet for sake of love, I rather beseech you - being such a one as Paulos the elder and now also a prisoner of Yah Shua Messiah.

²⁰ Yes brother, so that I benefit of you in Adonay: I rest my spleen in Adonay.

³⁵ So cast not away your boldness, which have a mega recompence:

²⁶ esteeming the reproach of the Messiah greater riches than the treasures in Misrayim: for he looked to the recompence.

⁵ Your manner, unavaricious; being satisfied with the present. For he said, I neither no way let loose of you nor no way forsake.

²¹ So put away all foulness and superabundance of malice; and in meekness receive the implanted word which is able to save your souls: ²² and become doers of the word and not only hearers - deluding your own selves. ²³ Because if any be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he resembles a man perceiving his genetic face in a mirror: ²⁴ for he perceives himself - and goes - and straightway forgets what manner he is. ²⁵ But whoever looks into the torah of completion/shalom of liberty and abides therein, not being a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one becomes blessed in his doing.

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.

² for we all stumble much. If anyone stumbles not in word, this one is a completed/shalamed man, also able to bridle the whole body.

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:

¹⁷ And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to the work of each, behave this time of your settling in awe:

³ Enough of the past time of our existence! - working the will of the goyim - walking in lechery, pantings, vinolence, carousings, drinking bouts, and illicit idolatries: ⁴ wherein they think it strange that you not rush to their effusion of dissipation, blaspheming:

¹⁹
SCRIPTURE PROPHECY
We also have a steadfast word of prophecy; which you do well to heed, as to a light manifesting in an obscure place, until the day thoroughly dawn and the day phospherescence arise in your hearts:

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}

¹
YAH SHUA MESSIAH, THE PARACLETE
My little children, I scribe these to you that you not sin: and whenever anyone sins we have a Paraclete with the Father - Yah Shua Messiah the just:

¹⁶ Because all that is in the cosmos - the panting of the flesh, and the panting of the eyes, and the pride of existence is not of the Father, but is of the cosmos.

⁴ I cheer extremely to find some of your children walking in truth, exactly as we took a misvah from the Father.

³ For I cheered extremely when the brothers came and witnessed of the truth within you; even as you walk in the truth. ⁴ I have no greater cheer than these - than to hear that my children walk in truth.

¹² These are reefs in your love as they revel with you, shepherding themselves fearlessly: waterless clouds carried about by winds, autumnal trees, unfruitful, twice dead, uprooted,

¹² These are reefs in your love as they revel with you, shepherding themselves fearlessly: waterless clouds carried about by winds, autumnal trees, unfruitful, twice dead, uprooted, ¹³ raging waves of the sea frothing their own shame, planetary stars - to whom is guarded the blackness of gloom to the eons.

¹⁸ I counsel you to market of me gold fired by the fire to enrich you: and white garments to array you so that you not manifest the shame of your nakedness: and anoint your eyes with poultice so that you see.

¹¹ And they triumph over him through the blood of the Lamb and through the word of their witness; and they love not their souls to the death.

¹
THE MEGA WHORE
And one of the seven angels having the seven phials comes and speaks with me, wording to me, Come here! I show you the judgment of the mega whore sitting on many waters: ² with whom the sovereigns of the earth whored; and who settle on the earth who intoxicate from the wine of her whoredom.
