Proverbs 25 Cross References - ECB

¹ These are also proverbs of Shelomoh; which the men of Yechizqi Yah, sovereign of Yah Hudah, transcribed. ² The honor of Elohim is to hide a word; and the honor of sovereigns to probe a word. ³ The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of sovereigns, probe not. ⁴ Remove the dross from the silver and an instrument for refining comes forth. ⁵ Remove the wicked from the face of the sovereign and his throne is established in justness. ⁶ Neither esteem yourself at the face of the sovereign; nor stand in the place of greatness. ⁷ Better to say to you, Ascend hither; than abased at the face of the volunteer whom your eyes have seen. ⁸ Go not forth hastily to strive, What work you when your friend finally shames you? ⁹ Defend your defence with your friend; and expose not a private counsel to another; ¹⁰ lest he who hears shames you and your slander turns not away. ¹¹ A word roundly worded is apples of gold in imageries of silver: ¹² as a nosering of gold and an ornament of ore, thus is a wise reprover to a hearkening ear. ¹³ As the cold of snow in the day of harvest, thus is a trustworthy ambassador to them who send him; for he restores the soul of his adonim. ¹⁴ The man who halals himself of a false gift is as vapour and wind without downpour. ¹⁵ By long wrath is a commander enticed and a tender tongue breaks the bone. ¹⁶ Find you honey? eat as much as suffices you, lest you satiate and vomit. ¹⁷ Esteem your foot from the house of your friend; lest he be satiated of you and hate you. ¹⁸ A man who answers false witness against his friend is a mallet and a sword and a pointened arrow. ¹⁹ Confidence in one who deals covertly in a day of tribulation is as a broken tooth and a dislocated foot. ²⁰ Whoever removes clothes on a cold day is as vinegar on nitre - as he who sings songs to an evil heart. ²¹ If he who hates you famishes, give him bread to eat; and if he thirsts, give him water to drink: ²² for you take coals on his head, and Yah Veh shalams you. ²³ The north wind whirls the downpour; and an enraged face, a covert tongue. ²⁴ Better, to settle in the corner of the roof than with a contentious woman in a community house. ²⁵ As cold waters to a languid soul, thus is a report from a far land. ²⁶ The just tottering at the face of the wicked is as an agitated fountain and a ruined fountain. ²⁷ It is neither good to eat abundant honey; nor honor to probe their own honor. ²⁸ The man without control over his own spirit is as a city breached and without walls.

³² and he words three thousand proverbs and his songs a thousand and five:

¹ The proverbs of Shelomoh the son of David sovereign of Yisra El:

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

⁹ give your servant a hearing heart to judge your people - to discern between good and evil: for who is able to judge this - your grievous people? ¹⁰ - and the word well-pleases the eyes of Adonay that Shelomoh asks this word. ¹¹ And Elohim says to him, Because you ask this word and neither ask many days for yourself, nor ask riches for yourself, nor ask the soul of your enemies; but ask for yourself discernment to hear judgment ¹² behold, I work according to your words: behold, I give you a wise and discerning heart; so that neither is any like you at your face nor any rise like you after you: ¹³ and I also give you what you ask not - both riches and honor: so that there be no man among the sovereigns as you all your days: ¹⁴ and if you walk in my ways to guard my statutes and my misvoth as your father David walked, then I prolong your days. ¹⁵ And Shelomoh wakens; and behold - a dream: and he comes to Yeru Shalem and stands at the face of the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh and holocausts holocausts and works shelamim and works a feast to all his servants. 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.

THE WISDOM OF SHELOMOH
And Elohim gives Shelomoh wisdom and discernment mightily abounding; and broadness of heart as the sand on lip of the sea: ³⁰ and the wisdom of Shelomoh abounds above the wisdom of all the sons of the east land and all the wisdom of Misrayim: ³¹ and he enwisens above all humanity - of Ethan the Zerachiy and Heman and Kalkol and Darda the sons of Machol: and his fame is all around the goyim: ³² and he words three thousand proverbs and his songs a thousand and five: ³³ he words of trees from the cedar tree in Lebanon even to the hyssop emerging from the wall: he words of animals and of flyers and of creepers and of fishes: ³⁴ and from all people they come to hear the wisdom of Shelomoh - from all sovereigns of the earth, to hear of his wisdom.

¹⁵ to search the scroll of the records of your fathers: and find in the scroll of the records and know that this city is a rebellious city and damaging to sovereigns and jurisdictions; and that they have rebels in their midst from eternal days: for which cause this city is desolated:

¹⁹ and I set a decree and search: and find that this city, from eternal days, lifts itself against sovereigns: and rebellion and sedition are made therein:

¹⁷ And now, if it is good to the sovereign, search in the treasure house of the sovereign at Babel, whether there is a decree set by Koresh the sovereign to build this house of Elah at Yeru Shalem: and send us the intentions of the sovereign concerning this matter.

⁷ By probing, find you Elohah? - find the conclusion of Shadday? ⁸ As high as the heavens; what do you? Deeper than sheol; what know you?

¹⁶ - a father to the needy. I probed contentions that I knew not;

⁴ Where were you when I founded the earth? Tell, if you know discernment, ⁵ who set the measurements, if you know? Who stretched the line thereon? ⁶ Whereon are the foundations sunk? Who poured the corner stone ⁷ when the morning stars shouted together and all the sons of Elohim shouted? ⁸ Who hedged in the sea with doors when it gushed? When it issued from the womb? ⁹ When I set the cloud for a robe and dripping darkness for a swathe; ¹⁰ and broke it up for my statute and set bars and doors; ¹¹ and said, Come to here, but add not: And set there the pomp of your waves? ¹² Misvahed you the morning since your days? And had the dawn to know his place? ¹³ And took hold of the wings of the earth to shake the wicked therefrom? ¹⁴ It turns as a seal of clay; and they set themselves as a robe; ¹⁵ and their light is withheld from the wicked and the lofted arm broken. ¹⁶ Enter you the fountains of the sea? Walk you probing the abyss? ¹⁷ Expose you the portals of death? See you the portals of the shadow of death? ¹⁸ Discern you the broadness of the earth? Tell, if you know it all. ¹⁹ Where is this, the way that light tabernacles? And darkness, where is its place? ²⁰ - to take it to the border - to discern the paths to the house? ²¹ Know you, because you were then birthed? - or that the number of your days greaten? ²² Enter you into the treasures of the snow? See you the treasures of the hail ²³ that I spare against the time of tribulation? - against the day of battle and war? ²⁴ Where is this - where light is allotted? - which scatters the easterly on the earth? ²⁵ Who divided a channel for the overflowing of waters? - a way for the lightning of voices? ²⁶ - to rain on the earth, where no man is? - on the wilderness, wherein no humanity is? ²⁷ - to satisfy the devastation and ruin? - to cause the source of the sprout to sprout? ²⁸ Has the rain a father? Who births the drops of dew? ²⁹ From whose belly comes ice? Who births the hoarfrost of the heavens? ³⁰ The waters are hid as a stone and the face of the abyss is captured.

⁴ their sons are plump; they abound with grain; they go forth never to return. ⁵ Who releases the runner liberated? Who looses the bands of the onager? ⁶ - whose house I have set the plains and the saltland his tabernacles. ⁷ He ridicules the multitude of the city; he hears not the clamorings of the exactor; ⁸ the gleanings of the mountains is his pasture and he searches after all the green. ⁹ The reem - wills he to serve you? - to stay overnight by your manger? ¹⁰ - to bind the reem with his band in the furrow? - to harrow the valleys after you? ¹¹ - to confide in him because his force is great? - to leave your labor to him? ¹² - to trust him to return your seed? - to gather it into your threshingfloor? ¹³ Or pinions to leap for joy? Or plumage to the stork? ¹⁴ - who leaves her eggs in the earth and heats them in dust; ¹⁵ and forgets that the foot may squeeze them; or that the field life may trample them. ¹⁶ She hardens her sons as though they are not hers; her labor is in vain without dread: ¹⁷ for Elohah exacts wisdom from her; he allots her no discernment; ¹⁸ at the time she flaps in the heights she ridicules the horse and his rider. ¹⁹ Give you the horse might? - enrobe his neck with thunder? ²⁰ - quiver him as a locust? The majesty of his nostrils is terror. ²¹ He digs in the valley and rejoices in his force; he goes on to confront the armour. ²² He ridicules dread and is not dismayed; he turns not back from the face of the sword; ²³ the quiver whizzes against him - the flaming spear and the dart: ²⁴ he swallows the earth with quaking and commotion; he trusts not the voice of the shophar. ²⁵ He says among the shophars, Aha! And he scents the war afar off - the thunder of the governors and the shouting. ²⁶ Soars the hawk by your discernment? - spreads her wings toward the south? ²⁷ Comes the eagle at your mouth and makes her nest on high? ²⁸ She tabernacles and stays overnight on the rock - on the crag of the rock and the hunthold; ²⁹ from thence she explores for food; her eyes scan afar off; ³⁰ her chicks suck blood; and where the pierced are, there she is.

² Contends the reprover with Shadday? Whoever reproves Elohah, answer!

³ Who is he who conceals counsel without knowledge? so I tell, and I discern not - too marvellous for me, and I know not.

³³ O the depth of the riches of both the wisdom and knowledge of Elohim! How unexplorable his judgments and his ways untraceable! ³⁴ For who knows the Spirit of Yah Veh? Or who is his counselor?

²⁹
THE WISDOM OF SHELOMOH
And Elohim gives Shelomoh wisdom and discernment mightily abounding; and broadness of heart as the sand on lip of the sea:

¹¹ For as the heavens loft above the earth, thus his mercy prevails mightily toward them who awe him:

¹¹ You, ask a sign of Yah Veh your Elohim; ask, either deep, or high above.

⁹ For as the heavens are higher than the earth thus are my ways higher than your ways - and my fabrications than your fabrications.

³⁹ nor height nor depth nor any other creation can separate us from the love of Elohim in Messiah Yah Shua our Adonay.

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

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

²⁵ and I turn my hand upon you; and in purity, refine away your dross, and turn aside all your tin: ²⁶ and I restore your judges as at the first and your counsellors as at the beginning: and afterward call you, The City of Justness; The City Trustworthy. ²⁷ Siyon is redeemed in judgment and her returnees in justness:

¹⁸ Son of humanity, the house of Yisra El is to me become dross: all they are copper and tin and iron and lead midst the furnace - drosses of silver.

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

²⁰ And in a mega house there are vessels - not only of gold and of silver but also of wood and of clay; and some indeed to honor and some to dishonor: ²¹ so whenever anyone purges himself from these he becomes a vessel to honor - hallowed and useful to the despotes prepared to every good work.

³³ their blood returns on the head of Yah Ab and on the head of his seed eternally: but on David and on his seed and on his house and on his throne, there is shalom eternally from Yah Veh.

⁴⁶ So the sovereign misvahs Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada; who goes out and encounters him that he dies. And the sovereigndom is established in the hand of Shelomoh.

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

¹¹ wherein the sovereign gives the Yah Hudiym in city by city to congregate and to stand for their soul, to desolate, to slaughter, and to destroy, all the virtuous of the people and province and of the toddlers and women who besiege them and spoil their plunder. ¹² On one day in all the jurisdictions of sovereign Achash Rosh, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month - the month Adar ¹³ - a transcript of the inscribing for an edict given jurisdiction by jurisdiction is exposed to all the people; and that the Yah Hudiym be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies. ¹⁴ So the runners ride upon stallions and camels go hastening - hastened by the word of the sovereign: - and the edict is given at Shushan palace. ¹⁵ And Mordekay goes from the face of the sovereign in a robe of the sovereigndom of blue and white and with a great crown of gold and with a robe of bleached cotton and purple; and the city of Shushan resounds and cheers. ¹⁶ The Yah Hudiym have light and cheerfulness and rejoicing and esteem. ¹⁷ And jurisdiction by jurisdiction and city by city, and whatever place the word and edict of the sovereign touches, the Yah Hudiym cheer and rejoice - a banquet and a good day. And many of the people of the land Yah Hudahize; for the fear of the Yah Hudiym falls upon them.

⁷ he who works deceit settles not within my house; he who words falsehoods is not established in my eyes. ⁸ Mornings I exterminate all the wicked of the land; to cut off all mischievous from the city of Yah Veh.

¹² It is an abhorrence for sovereigns to work wickedness; for the throne is established by justness.

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

²⁸ Mercy and truth guard the sovereign; and upholds his throne by mercy.

¹⁴ The sovereign who judges the poor in truth, establishes his throne eternally.

⁷ Of the increase of his dominion and shalom there is no end, on the throne of David and on his sovereigndom; to establish and to support with judgment and with justness from henceforth - even eternally. The zeal of Yah Veh Sabaoth works this.

⁵ And established in mercy is the throne: and he sits thereon in truth in the tent of David - judging and seeking judgment and hasting justness.

¹¹ And Mosheh says to Elohim, Who am I, to go to Paroh and bring forth the sons of Yisra El from Misrayim?

²⁰ And as for your she burros that were lost three days ago, set not your heart on them; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Yisra El? Is it not on you and on all the house of your father? ²¹ And Shaul answers and says, Am not I a Ben Yaminiy, of the smallest of the scions of Yisra El? and my family the lesser of all the families of the scion of Ben Yamin? Why then word you thus to me? ²² And Shemu El takes Shaul and his lad and brings them into the chamber; and gives them head place among the called - about thirty men.

¹⁷ And Shemu El says, Is it not, though you are little in your own eyes, are you not the head of the scions of Yisra El? And Yah Veh anoints you sovereign over Yisra El?

¹⁸ And David says to Shaul, Who am I? And what is my life? Or the family of my father in Yisra El? And that I become son in law to the sovereign? ¹⁹ And so be it, at the time to give Merab the daughter of Shaul to David, he gives her to Adri El the Mecholathiy to woman. ²⁰ And Michal the daughter of Shaul loves David: and they tell Shaul; and the word is straight in his eyes. ²¹ And Shaul says, I give her to him, for a snare to him; and that the hand of the Peleshethiy be against him. So Shaul says to David a second time, This day you become my son in law. ²² And Shaul misvahs his servants, Word with David undercover, and say, Behold, the sovereign delights in you and all his servants love you: and now become son in law to the sovereign. ²³ And the servants of Shaul word those words in the ears of David. And David says, Seems it trifling in your eyes to become son in law to the sovereign - seeing that I am impoverished and abased?

YAH VEH SABAOTH CUTS A COVENANT WITH DAVID
Now say thus to my servant David, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth, I took you from the habitation of rest - from after the flock to be eminent over my people - over Yisra El: ⁹ and I am with you wherever you go; and cut off all your enemies from your face: and work you a great name as the name of the great in the earth: ¹⁰ and I set a place for my people Yisra El and plant them to tabernacle in their own place that they neither quiver any more nor that the sons of wickedness add to abase them - as formerly ¹¹ - as from the day I misvahed judges to be over my people Yisra El and rested you from all your enemies: and Yah Veh tells you that he works you a house. ¹² And when your days fulfill and you lie down with your fathers, I raise your seed after you who come from your inwards; and I establish his sovereigndom: ¹³ he builds a house for my name and I establish the throne of his sovereigndom eternally. ¹⁴ I become to him, father and he becomes to me, son. If he perverts, I reprove him with the scion of men and with the plagues of the sons of humanity: ¹⁵ but my mercy turns not aside from him as I turned it aside from Shaul - whom I turned aside from your face: ¹⁶ and your house and your sovereigndom are permanent - eternally at your face: your throne is established eternally. ¹⁷ - according to all these words and according to all this vision, Nathan worded to David.

¹ A Song of Degrees: By David. O Yah Veh, neither my heart lifts, nor my eyes loft; nor walk I in greatness or in marvels:

¹⁹ Better, a lowly spirit with the humble, than to allot the spoil with the pompous.

²⁷ It is neither good to eat abundant honey; nor honor to probe their own honor.

² Have another halal you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.

⁶ Then I say, Aha, Adonay Yah Veh! Behold, I know not how to word: for I am a lad. ⁷ And Yah Veh says to me, Say not, I am a lad: go to all to whom I send you, and word whatever I misvah you: ⁸ awe not their faces: for I am with you to rescue you - an oracle of Yah Veh. ⁹ And Yah Veh spreads his hand, and touches my mouth: and Yah Veh says to me, Behold, I give my words in your mouth. ¹⁰ See, this day I set you overseer over the goyim and over the sovereigndoms; to uproot and to pull down and to destroy and to demolish; to build and to plant.

¹² Also Amas Yah says to Amos, O you seer, go, flee into the land of Yah Hudah, and there eat bread, and there prophesy: ¹³ and add not to prophesy any more at Beth El: for it is the holies of the sovereigndom and it is the house of the sovereign. ¹⁴ Then Amos answers and says to Amas Yah, I am neither a prophet nor a son of a prophet; but I am a herdman and a pincher of sycomores: ¹⁵ and as I follow the flock, Yah Veh takes me and Yah Veh says to me, Go, prophesy to my people Yisra El.

⁷
YAH SHUA ON POSITION
And he words a parable to those called - heeding how they select the preeminent recliners; wording to them, ⁸ Whenever anyone calls you to a marriage recline not in the highest room; lest ever he calls a more honorable than you: ⁹ and he who called you comes and says to you, Give this one the place: and you begin to shame to hold on to the final place. ¹⁰ But when you are called, go and repose in the final place; so that whenever he who called you comes, he says to you, Friend, ascend higher! - then you have glory in the sight of them who repose with you. ¹¹ For whoever exalts himself is humbled; and whoever humbles himself is exalted.

¹⁴ I word to you, this one descends to his house justified rather than the other: for everyone who exalts himself, is humbled; and whoever humbles himself, is exalted.

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.

¹
IN SPIRIT, IN THE HEAVENS
After these I perceive, and behold, an opened portal in the heavens: and the first voice I hear is as a trumpet speaking with me; wording, Ascend hither, and I show you what must be after these ^*. ^{*some mss place after these at the beginning of verse 2}

¹⁴ And Abi Ner says to Yah Ab, Have the lads now rise and entertain at our face. And Yah Ab says, Rise. ¹⁵ And they rise and pass over by number twelve of Ben Yamin of Ish Bosheth the son of Shaul and twelve of the servants of David: ¹⁶ each man holds his friend by the head and his sword in the side of his friend; and they fall together: and they call that place Helgath Hats Surim - in Gibon.

²⁶ And Abi Ner calls to Yah Ab and says, The sword - devours it in perpetuity? Know you not that it embitters in the latter end? How long be it then, ere you say to the people to return from after their brothers?

⁸ Then Amaz Yah sends angels to Yah Ash son of Yah Achaz son of Yah Hu sovereign of Yisra El, saying, Come! See one another in the face! ⁹ And Yah Ash the sovereign of Yisra El sends to Amaz Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, saying, The thorn in Lebanon sends to the cedar in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son to woman: and a live being of the field passes by in Lebanon and tramples the thorn: ¹⁰ in smiting, you smote Edom and your heart lifts you: be honored and settle at your house: for why coax you to evil only, to fall - you and Yah Hudah with you? ¹¹ And Amaz Yah hearkens not: and Yah Ash sovereign of Yisra El ascends; and he and Amaz Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah see one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, Yah Hudah: ¹² and Yah Hudah is smitten at the face of Yisra El; and every man flees to his tent.

¹² There is a way - straight at the face of a man, and the finality, the ways of death.

¹⁴ The beginning of strife is as a bursting of water leave off contention ere it faces a quarrel.

⁶ The lips of a fool enter contention and his mouth calls for poundings.

³³ Surely the churning of milk brings forth butter and the churning of the nostrils brings forth blood; thus the churning of wrath brings forth strife.

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?

²⁵
SETTLING OUT OF COURT
Agree with your adversary quickly while you are with him in the way: lest ever the adversary deliver you to the judge; and the judge deliver you to the attendant; and cast you into a guardhouse.

³¹
TREATY OF SHALOM
Or what sovereign, going to encounter war against another sovereign, indeed sits not down first, and counsels whether he is able by ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? ³² But if not, while the other is yet afar off, he apostolizes a presbytry and asks for shalom.

¹³ A walking talebearer exposes private counsel; and he of a trustworthy spirit conceals the word.

¹⁹ A talebearer exposes private counsel; meddle not with him who entices with his lips.

⁵ and whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me: ⁶ and whoever scandalizes one of these little ones who trust in me, it is beneficial for him that a millstone turned by a burro hang around his neck, and that he submerge into the depth of the sea. ⁷ Woe to the cosmos because of scandals! for of necessity, scandals come; however woe to that human by whom the scandal comes! 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. ¹⁰ See that you not disesteem one of these little ones; for I word to you, That in the heavens, through all time, their angels see the face of my Father in the heavens. ¹¹ For the Son of humanity comes to save the lost. ¹²
THE PARABLE OF THE WANDERING SHEEP
How think you? Whenever any human becomes a hundred sheep and one of them wanders, forsakes he not the ninety-nine, and goes to the mountains, and seeks that which wanders? ¹³ And so be it, whenever he finds it, Amen! I word to you, he cheers more over it than of the ninety-nine who wander not. ¹⁴ Even thus it is not the will in front of your Father in the heavens, that one of these little ones be lost. ¹⁵
A SINNING BROTHER
And whenever your brother sins to you, go and reprove him between you and him alone: whenever he hears you, you gain your brother: ¹⁶ but whenever he hears you not take one or two more with you; so that in the mouth of two or three witnesses you establish every rhema: ¹⁷ and whenever he refuses to hear them, say it to the ecclesia: and whenever he refuses to hear the ecclesia, he becomes to you exactly as the goyim and a customs agent.

³⁹ pass away my reproach which I fear; for your judgments are good.

²³ A man has cheerfulness by the answer of his mouth; and a word in time, how good!

²⁶ He kisses the lips that respond straightforward words.

¹⁰ The Congregationer sought to find out words of delight; inscribed by the straight - words of truth.

⁴
THE TONGUE OF THE DISCIPLED
Adonay Yah Veh gives me the tongue of the discipled, to know how to reinforce a word to the weary: he wakens morning by morning; he wakens my ear to hear as the discipled:

³¹ that this neither stagger you, nor be a stumblingblock of heart to my adoni, either that you pour blood gratuitously, or that my adoni save himself: and Yah Veh deals well-pleasingly with my adoni, then remember your maid. ³² And David says to Abi Gail, Blessed - Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, who sends you this day to meet me: 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.

¹¹ Then all his brothers and all his sisters and all who knew his face come to him and eat bread with him in his house; and they wag with him and sigh over him - over all the evil Yah Veh brought on him; and every man gives him one ingot and every man one nosering of gold.

⁵ The just hammer me in mercy, and reprove me; an ointment of the head - which my head disallows not; for my prayer is yet against their evil.

⁸ My son, hear the discipline of your father and abandon not the torah of your mother: ⁹ - a wreath of charism to your head and chokers around your throat.

⁸ Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate you; reprove a wise, and he loves you:

⁵ A fool scorns the discipline of his father; and he who regards reproof strategizes.

³¹ The ear that hears the reproof of life stays among the wise: ³² he who avoids discipline spurns his own soul: and he who hears reproof gets heart.

¹² The hearing ear and the seeing eye, Yah Veh worked even both.

⁵ Exposed reproof is better than hidden love. ⁶ Trustworthy are the wounds of a lover; and the kisses of haters abound.

¹⁷ A wicked angel falls into evil; and a trustworthy ambassador is healing.

²⁵ As cold waters to a languid soul, thus is a report from a far land.

⁶ He who sends word by the hand of a fool cuts off the feet and drinks violence.

²⁵ Yet I deemed it necessary to send you Epaphroditus, my brother and co-worker and co-warrior - and your apostle and minister to my need. ²⁶ Since he yearned after you all and was distressed, because you heard he had been frail. ²⁷ For indeed he was frail - close by death: but Elohim mercied him; and not only him, but also me, lest I have sorrow upon sorrow. ²⁸ So I send him diligently, so that when you see him again, you cheer and that I also be ungrieving. ²⁹ So receive him in Adonay with all cheer; and hold such honorable: ³⁰ for, because of the work of Messiah he approached death, hazarding his soul, to fill full/shalam your lack of liturgy toward me.

¹¹ And Sidqi Yah the son of Kenaanah works himself horns of iron: and he says, Thus says Yah Veh, But the Aramiy with these until you finish them off.

⁶ An abundance of humanity each calls out his own mercy; and a man of trust, who finds?

¹¹ For whoever exalts himself is humbled; and whoever humbles himself is exalted.

¹⁰
YAH SHUA ON THE PHARISEE AND THE CUSTOMS AGENT
Two humans ascend into the priestal precinct to pray; the one a Pharisee and the other a customs agent. ¹¹ The Pharisee stands and prays these with himself, Elohim, I eucharistize you, that I am not exactly as the rest of humanity - plunderers, unjust, adulterers, or even as this customs agent: ¹² I fast twice on the shabbath, I tithe all - as much as I possess. ¹³ And the customs agent, stands afar off, and wills not even so much as to lift his eyes to the heavens; but strikes on his chest, wording, Elohim, kapur/atone for me a sinner. ¹⁴ I word to you, this one descends to his house justified rather than the other: for everyone who exalts himself, is humbled; and whoever humbles himself, is exalted.

¹³
PSEUDO APOSTLES
For such are pseudo apostles - deceitful workers, transfiguring themselves to the apostles of Messiah: ¹⁴ and no marvel; for Satan transfigures himself into an angel of light. ¹⁵ So it is not mega if his ministers also transfigure as the ministers of justness; whose completion/shalom is according to their works. ¹⁶
THE SUFFERINGS OF PAULOS
I word again that no one think I am thoughtless; and if otherwise, even receive me as thoughtless so that I also boast a little. ¹⁷ What I speak, I speak not after Adonay, but as in thoughtlessness, in this confidence of boasting, ¹⁸ since many boast after the flesh, I also boast.

³¹ The Elohim and Father of our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah who is eulogized to the eons, knows that I lie not.

¹⁵ who forsake the straight way and wander; following the way of Bilam of Beor who loved the rewards of injustice; ¹⁶ and was reproofed for his own torah violations: the voiceless burro uttering in a human voice forbad the insanity of the prophet. ¹⁷ These are waterless fountains - clouds driven by a whirlwind to whom the mist of darkness is guarded to the eons. ¹⁸ For by uttering overbulgings of vanity, through the pantings of the flesh, by lechery, they entrap them, who indeed escaped from them who remain in seduction. ¹⁹ While they pre-evangelize liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for by whom anyone is belittled, by him is he subservient.

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.

¹⁶ These are murmurers - fatalists walking after their own pantings; and their mouth speaking overbulgings; marveling over faces to benefit.

⁴ and he misvahs them, saying, Say thus to my adoni Esav: Your servant Yaaqov says thus: I sojourned with Laban and delayed there until now: ⁵ and I have oxen and he burros, flocks and servants and maids: and I send to tell my adoni, to find charism in your eyes. ⁶ And the angels return to Yaaqov, saying, We came to your brother Esav and he also comes to meet you with four hundred men. ⁷ And Yaaqov awes mightily and is depressed: and he halves the people with him and the flocks and oxen and the camels into two camps; ⁸ and says, If Esav comes to the one camp and smites it, then the other camp which survives escapes. ⁹ And Yaaqov says, O Elohim of my father Abraham and Elohim of my father Yischaq, Yah Veh who says to me, Return to your land and to your kindred and I well-please you: ¹⁰ I am less than the least of all the mercies and of all the truth, you worked to your servant; for with my staff I passed over this Yarden; and now I become two camps: ¹¹ rescue me, I beseech you, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esav: for I awe him, lest he comes and smites me and the mother with the sons. 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. ¹³ And he stays there overnight that same night; and takes of what comes to his hand - an offering for Esav his brother: ¹⁴ two hundred she goats and twenty he goats two hundred ewes and twenty rams ¹⁵ thirty suckling camels with their sons forty heifer and ten bullocks twenty she burros and ten foals: ¹⁶ and he gives them into the hand of his servants, drove by drove; and says to his servants, Pass over from my face and put a respiration between drove and between drove. ¹⁷ And he misvahs the first, saying, When Esav my brother meets you and asks you, saying, Whose are you? And where go you? And whose are these at your face? ¹⁸ Then you say, Of your servant Yaaqov - an offering sent to my adoni Esav: and behold, he also is behind us. ¹⁹ And thus he misvahs the second and the third and all who come after the droves, saying, Word this word to Esav, when you find him: ²⁰ and also say, Behold, your servant Yaaqov is behind us: for he says, I kapar/atone at his face with the offering that goes at my face and afterward, I see his face: perhaps he lifts at my face. ²¹ So the offering passes from his face: and he stays overnight that night in the camp:

¹⁴ And one lad of the lads tells Abi Gail, the woman of Nabal, saying, Behold, David sends angels from the wilderness to bless our adoni; and he swoops on them:

²⁴ and falls at his feet and says, On me, my adoni, this perversity: and may your maid, I beseech you, word in your ears; hear the words of your maid: ²⁵ may not my adoni, I beseech you, set his heart to this man of Beli Yaal, Nabal: for as his name, thus is he: Nabal is his name and folly is with him: but I your maid saw not the lads of my adoni whom you sent. ²⁶ And now, my adoni, as Yah Veh lives and as your soul lives, seeing Yah Veh withheld you from coming to blood and from saving yourself by your own hand, now may your enemies and they who seek evil to my adoni, be as Nabal: ²⁷ and now this blessing which your maid brings to my adoni, may it even be given to the lads who walk at the feet of my adoni: ²⁸ I beseech you, lift the rebellion of your maid: for in working, Yah Veh works an amenable house for my adoni; because my adoni fights the wars of Yah Veh and no evil is found in you all your days: ²⁹ yet a human rises to pursue you and to seek your soul: but the soul of my adoni is bound in the bundle of life with Yah Veh your Elohim; and he slings the souls of your enemies, as midst the hollow of a sling. ³⁰ And so be it, when Yah Veh works to my adoni according to all the good he worded concerning you and misvahs you eminent over Yisra El; ³¹ that this neither stagger you, nor be a stumblingblock of heart to my adoni, either that you pour blood gratuitously, or that my adoni save himself: and Yah Veh deals well-pleasingly with my adoni, then remember your maid. ³² And David says to Abi Gail, Blessed - Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, who sends you this day to meet me: 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. 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. ³⁹ And David hears Nabal is dead, and he says, Blessed - Yah Veh, who pleads the plea of my reproach from the hand of Nabal; and restrains his servant from evil: for Yah Veh returns the evil of Nabal on his own head. And David sends and words with Abi Gail to take her to him to woman: ⁴⁰ and the servants of David come to Abi Gail to Karmel, and they word to her, saying, David sends us to you, to take you to him to woman. ⁴¹ And she rises and prostrates herself on her nostrils to the earth and says, Behold, your maid - a maid to bathe the feet of the servants of my adoni. ⁴² And Abi Gail hastens and rises and rides on a he burro with five of her lasses who go at her feet; and she goes after the angels of David and becomes his woman. ⁴³ And David takes Achiy Noam of Yizre El; and they both are also his women. ⁴⁴ And Shaul gives Michal his daughter the woman of David to Phalti the son of Laish of Gallim.

¹ A tender answer turns away fury; and contorting words ascend wrath.

¹⁴ The fury of a sovereign is as angels of death; and a wise man kapars/atones.

⁴ If the spirit of the sovereign ascends against you, leave not your place; for healing allows great sins.

⁸ And after many days he returns to take her; and he turns aside to see the ruin of the lion: and behold, a witness of bees and honey in the body of the lion: ⁹ and he crumbles thereof in his palms and in walking, walks on eating and goes to his father and mother; and he gives them and they eat: but he tells them not that he crumbled the honey from the body of the lion.

²⁵ And all the land comes to a forest; and there is honey on the face of the field: ²⁶ and the people come to the forest, and behold, a flowing of honey; and no man reaches his hand to his mouth: for the people awe the oath. ²⁷ And Yah Nathan heard not his father oath the people with the oath: and he sends forth the end of the rod in his hand and dips it in a forest; and returns his hand to his mouth: and his eyes enlighten.

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

¹³ My son, eat honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb - sweet to your palate; 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.

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

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

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.

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

² and he says, Behold I beseech, my adonim, turn in, I beseech you, into the house of your servant and stay overnight and bathe your feet and start early and go on your ways. And they say, No; but we stay in the wideway overnight. ³ And he urges them mightily; and they turn in to him and enter his house; and he works them a banquet and bakes matsah and they eat.

¹⁸ And he says to him, We pass from Beth Lechem Yah Hudah toward the flank of mount Ephrayim from whence I am: and I go to Beth Lechem Yah Hudah, and I go to the house of Yah Veh; and no man gathers me to his house. ¹⁹ And there are yet both straw and provender for our he burros; and bread and wine for me and for your maid and for the young man with your lads: there is no lack of any word. ²⁰ And the old man says, Shalom to you; only, all your lacks be on me; only, stay not overnight in the broadway. ²¹ So he brings him into his house and fodders the he burros: and they baptize their feet and eat and drink.

²⁴ whenever I depart to Spania, I come to you: for I hope to observe you in my going through and have you forward me, whenever you first partly enrich me.

² The tongue fabricates calamities - as a sharpened razor, working deceitfully.

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

⁴ My soul is among roaring lions; and I lie among the inflamed - the sons of humanity whose teeth are spears and arrows and their tongue a sharp sword.

³ What gives he to you? What adds he to you, you deceitful tongue? ⁴ Pointened arrows of the mighty with coals of juniper.

³ they pointen their tongues as a serpent; the poison of asps is under their lips. Selah.

¹⁸ The babbler is like the stabs of a sword; and the tongue of the wise is healing.

²⁸ Neither witness against your friend gratuitously; nor entice with your lips.

³ and they bend their tongues as their bow for falsehood: and as for trustworthiness, they prevail not mightily on the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil and they know me not - an oracle of Yah Veh.

⁸ Their tongue is a slaughtering arrow; wording deceit: wording shalom to his friend with his mouth, but setting his inwards to lurk.

⁶ And the tongue is a fire - a cosmos of injustice: thus the tongue sits among our members to stain the whole body and inflame the track of genetics; and it is inflamed by Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning.

²⁰ And Tilgath Pileser sovereign of Ashshur comes to him and besieges him; but strengthens him not. ²¹ For Achaz allots of the house of Yah Veh and of the house of the sovereign and of the governors and gives it to the sovereign of Ashshur: but he helps him not:

¹⁴ He who melts, has mercy from his friend; but he forsakes the awe of Shadday. ¹⁵ My brothers cover up as a wadi and as the reservoir of wadies, they pass away; ¹⁶ - darkened by the ice wherein the snow conceals; ¹⁷ by the time they dissipate they are exterminated; when it is hot they are extinguished from their place. ¹⁸ The paths of their way are turned aside; they ascend to waste and destruct. ¹⁹ The paths of Tema look; the caravans of Sheba await them; ²⁰ they shame because they had hoped; there they come and blush.

¹
HO TO THE REVOLTING SONS
Ho to the revolting sons - an oracle of Yah Veh who work counsel, but not mine; and who pour a pouring, but not of my spirit, who scrape up sin to sin: ² who walk to descend into Misrayim, and ask not at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the stronghold of Paroh, and to seek refuge in the shadow of Misrayim! ³ So the stronghold of Paroh becomes your shame; and the trust in the shadow of Misrayim your shame.

⁶ Behold, you confide in the crutch of this crushed stalk - on Misrayim; whereon, if a man props, it goes into his palm, and pierces: thus is Paroh sovereign of Misrayim to all who confide in him.

⁶ and all the settlers of Misrayim know I - Yah Veh, because of their being a stalk of support to the house of Yisra El. ⁷ They apprehend you by your palm; you crush and split all their shoulder: and when they lean on you, you break and shake all their loins.

¹⁶ In my first pleading no one convened with me, but all forsook me: so be it not reckoned to them.

¹² And if the man is humbled, lie not down with his pledge: 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. ¹⁴ Oppress not a hireling, humbled and needy, of your brothers or of the sojourners in your land within your portals: ¹⁵ in his day, give him his hire, that the sun not go down thereon; for he is humbled and lifts his soul thereon: lest he call Yah Veh against you and it becomes sin to you. ¹⁶ Neither deathify the fathers for the sons; nor deathify the sons for the fathers: deathify every man for his own sin. ¹⁷ Neither deviate the judgment of the sojourner nor of the orphan; nor take the clothes of a widow to pledge:

⁷ they stay the naked overnight without robe that they have no covering in the cold; ⁸ they are moist with the floods of the mountains and embrace the rock for want of a refuge; ⁹ they strip the orphan from the breast and take a pledge of the humble; ¹⁰ they have him go naked without robe; they take away the omer from the famished;

³ for there our captors asked us the words of a song - our howlers, of cheer, Sing us a song of Siyon! ⁴ How sing we a song of Yah Veh in a strange soil?

²⁶ As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, thus is the sloth to them who send him.

⁴ a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to chop and a time to dance;

⁷ Is it not to separate your bread to the famished? To bring the humble outcasts to your house? To cover the naked when you see him? To not conceal yourself from your own flesh?

¹⁸ Then the sovereign goes to his manse and lodges overnight fasting; and his instruments enter not in front of him and his sleep flees from him.

¹⁵ cheer with the cheering and weep with the weeping;

¹⁵ Whenever a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily nourishment, ¹⁶ and one of you says to them, Go in shalom! Be warmed and filled! - and not give them those needful to the body; what benefit is it?

¹⁵ and the vow of the trust saves the wearied and Adonay raises him; and if he does sins, they are forgiven.

⁴ If you encounter an ox of your enemy or his he burro straying, in returning, return it to him. ⁵ If you see the he burro of him who hates you crouched under his burden and cease to release him, in releasing, release him.

²² And he says, Smite not! Do you smite whom you captured with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water at their face to eat and drink and go to their adoni.

¹⁵ and the men appointed by name rise and hold the captives; and enrobe all the naked with the spoil - enrobe them and enclose them and give them to eat and to drink and anoint them; and guide all who faltered on he burros: and bring them to Yericho, the city of palm trees, beside their brothers: and they return to Shomeron.

¹⁷ Neither cheer when your enemy falls nor twirl your heart when he stumbles;

⁴⁴ But I word to you, Love your enemies; eulogize them who curse you; do good to them who hate you; and pray for them who threaten you and persecute you;

³³ Some Shomeroniy, as he journeys, comes where he is and sees him and has a sympathetic spleen on him: ³⁴ and goes to him and binds his trauma - pouring in olive oil and wine and mounts him on his own animal and brings him to an inn and takes care of him: ³⁵ and on the morrow as he departs, he casts two denarion and gives them to the innkeeper, and says to him, Take care of him; and whatever you spend more, when I come again, I give to you. ³⁶ Who of these three, think you, became neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?

²⁰ So whenever your enemy famishes, force feed him; whenever he thirsts, give him drink: for in so doing you heap coals of fire on his head; ²¹ so that evil triumphs not over you, but that the good triumphs over evil. ^{Proverbs 25:21, 22}

¹² Perhaps Yah Veh sees my humiliation and Yah Veh returns me good for his abasing this day.

¹³ and indeed whenever the house is worthy, your shalom comes upon it: but whenever it is not worthy your shalom returns to you:

¹⁸ Then also they who fell asleep in Messiah are destroyed.

²² clear sky comes from the north; with Elohah is awesome majesty.

³ He neither steps with his tongue nor works evil to his friend nor lifts a reproach against his neighbour.

⁵ whoever covertly tongue-lashes his friend, I exterminate: a lofty eye and an enlarged heart, I am not able.

²⁰ Where the final timber is, the fire goes out; thus where no whisperer is, the strife subsides.

³⁰ slanderers, Elohim-haters, insulters, proud, braggarts, inventors of evil, distrusting to parents,

²⁰ For I awe, lest somehow, when I come, I find you not such as I willed and that you find me such as you had not willed: lest somehow there be contentions, zeals, furies, rivalries, slanders, whisperings, puffings, instabilities:

¹³ A foolish son is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a woman are a continual dripping.

⁹ Better, to settle in a corner of the roof, than with a contentious woman in a community house.

¹⁹ Better, to settle in the land of the wilderness, than with a woman of contentions and vexations.

¹⁵ A continual dripping in a torrential day and a contentious woman are alike. ¹⁶ Whoever treasures her, treasures the wind; and the ointment at his right calls out.

¹⁶ And she goes and sits down opposite - away - about a bowshot: for she says, O that I not see the death of the child. - and she sits far removed and lifts her voice and weeps. ¹⁷ And Elohim hears the voice of the lad; and the angel of Elohim calls to Hagar from the heavens, and says to her, What ails you, Hagar? Awe not! For Elohim hears the voice of the lad where he is. ¹⁸ Rise! Lift the lad and strengthen him in your hand; for I set him to be a great goyim. ¹⁹ And Elohim opens her eyes and she sees a well of water; and she goes and fills the skin with water and gives the lad drink.

² And the people strive with Mosheh and say, Give us water to drink. And Mosheh says to them, Why strive with me? Why test you Yah Veh? ³ And there the people thirst for water; and the people murmur against Mosheh and say, Why ascended you us from Misrayim, to deathify us and our sons and our chattel with thirst?

⁶ Behold, I stand at your face there on the rock in Horeb: and you smite the rock and water comes out and the people drink. And Mosheh works thus in the eyes of the elders of Yisra El:

¹⁸ And he is mighty thirsty and calls on Yah Veh and says, You give this great salvation into the hand of your servant! And now, die I for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised? ¹⁹ And Elohim split a socket in the jaw and water comes; and he drinks, and his spirit returns and he enlivens: so he calls the name thereof En Hak Qore/Fountain of the Caller: it is in Lechi to this day.

¹⁵ And David desired and said, Oh that someone give me a drink of the water of the well of Beth Lechem by the portal!

¹
BOOK II To His Eminence; On Comprehension: For the sons of Qorach. As the hart yearns after the reservoirs of water, thus yearns my soul after you, O Elohim. ² My soul thirsts for Elohim, for the living El. When come I to see the face of Elohim?

¹ A Psalm by David: when he is in the wilderness of Yah Hudah. O Elohim, you are my El; I seek you early; my soul thirsts for you - my flesh yearns for you in a parched and languid land without water;

³⁰ The light of the eyes cheers the heart; and a good report fattens the bones.

⁷
A MESSIANIC PROPHECY
How befitting on the mountains are the feet of him who evangelizes: who hearkens shalom; who evangelizes of good; who hearkens salvation; who says to Siyon, Your Elohim reigns!

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.

¹⁴ Ceases the snow of Lebanon from the rock of the field? Or are the strange cool flowing waters uprooted?

¹⁵ Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who evangelizes, who hearkens, Shalom! O Yah Hudah, celebrate your celebrations! Shalam your vows! for Beli Yaal adds not to pass through you; he is utterly cut off.

¹⁰ And the angel says to them, Awe not: for behold, I evangelize to you of mega cheer which becomes to all people: ¹¹ for to you is birthed this day in the city of David a Saviour who is Messiah Adonay:

³⁷
THE INVITATION OF YAH SHUA TO TAKE THE HOLY SPIRIT
In the final day - that mega day of the celebration Yah Shua stands and cries, wording, whenever anyone thirsts, come to me and drink:

¹⁵ And how preach they unless they are apostolized? Exactly as scribed, How beautiful their feet who evangelize shalom and evangelize good! ^{Isaiah 52:7, Nahum 1:15}

¹⁵ This word is trustworthy and worthy of all acceptation, that Messiah Yah Shua came into the cosmos to save sinners; of whom I am first.

⁶ And he says to me, It is become! I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the completion/shalom. To him who thirsts I give of the fountain of the water of life gratuitously.

¹⁷
THE FINAL INVITATION
And the Spirit and the bride word, Come; And whoever hears, say, Come. And whoever thirsts, come. And whoever wills, take the water of life gratuitously.

⁸ And Qayin talks with Abel his brother: and so be it, in the field, Qayin rises against Abel his brother and slaughters him.

¹⁴ And Achiy Melech answers the sovereign, and says, And who is as amenable among all your servants as David the son in law of the sovereign - who turns aside to hear you - who is honorable in your house? ¹⁵ Begin I daily to ask of Elohim for him? Far be it from me! O that the sovereign set no word - neither to his servant nor to all the house of my father: for your servant knows no word of all this - less or great. ¹⁶ And the sovereign says, In dying, you die, Achiy Melech - you and all the house of your father. ¹⁷ And the sovereign says to the runners stationed around him, Turn and deathify the priests of Yah Veh: because their hand is also with David; and because they know when he flees and expose it not in my ear. And the servants of the sovereign will to not send forth their hand to encounter the priests of Yah Veh. ¹⁸ And the sovereign says to Doeg, Turn and encounter the priests. And Doeg the Edomiy turns and encounters the priests; and deathifies on that day eighty-five men bearing a linen ephod:

²¹ And at the misvah of the sovereign they conspire against him; and stone him with stones in the court of the house of Yah Veh. ²² Thus Yah Ash the sovereign remembers not the mercy Yah Yada his father worked to him; but slaughters his son. And as he dies, he says, Yah Veh sees and requires.

² Son of humanity, lift a lamentation for Paroh sovereign of Misrayim, and say to him, You are like a whelp of the goyim and as monsters in the seas: and you come forth with your rivers and trouble the waters with your feet and foul their rivers.

¹⁸ Is it belittling to you to tend the good pasture? To trample the remnant of your pastures with your feet? To drink of the pond waters? To foul what remains with your feet? ¹⁹ And as for my flock, they tend what you trample with your feet; and they drink what you trample with your feet.

³⁴ Because of this, behold, I apostolize to you prophets and wise men and scribes: and of them, you slaughter and stake and of them, you scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city: ³⁵ so that all the just blood poured on the earth comes upon you - from the blood of just Abel - to the blood of Zechar Yah son of Berech Yah whom you murdered between the nave and the sacrifice altar. ³⁶ Amen! I word to you, All these come upon this generation. ³⁷
YAH SHUA LAMENTS OVER YERU SHALEM
O, Yeru Shalem! Yeru Shalem! - you who slaughter the prophets and stone them apostolized to you! how often I willed to gather your children together - even in the manner a hen gathers her young under her wings - and you willed not!

⁶⁹
THE FIRST DENIAL OF PETROS
And Petros sits outside in the courtyard: and a lass comes to him, wording, You also are with Yah Shua of Galiyl. ⁷⁰ And he denies in front of all, wording, I know not what you speak. ⁷¹
THE SECOND DENIAL OF PETROS
And he goes to the gate, and another sees him: and words to them who are there, This one also was with Yah Shua the Nazarene. ⁷² And again he denies with an oath, I know not the human. ⁷³
THE THIRD DENIAL OF PETROS
And after a little, those standing by come to Petros, and say, Truly you also are one of them; for your speech makes you evident. ⁷⁴ Then he begins to curse and to anathematize, I know not the human. - and straightway the rooster voices.

⁵² Which of the prophets have your fathers not persecuted? And they slaughtered them who pre-evangelized concerning the coming of the Just - of whom you now become traitors and murderers:

¹⁵ who slaughtered both Adonay Yah Shua and their own prophets and persecuted us; and they please not Elohim and are contrary to all humanity:

⁶ And I see the woman intoxicated from the blood of the holy and from the blood of the witnesses of Yah Shua: and when I see her I marvel a mega marvel.

¹⁶ Find you honey? eat as much as suffices you, lest you satiate and vomit.

⁴⁴ How can you trust - you who take glory of one another, and seek not the glory that comes from Elohim only?

¹
PAULOS IN PARADISE
It is not beneficial for me to boast: indeed I come to visions and apocalypses of Adonay.

¹¹ I become thoughtless in boasting; you compel me - for I am indebted: for I am behind in naught of the extremely superior apostles - though I am naught.

³ naught through rivalry or vainglory; but in humblemindedness esteem each other superior to self:

³⁰ Then Shaul kindles his wrath against Yah Nathan and he says to him, You son of the perverted rebellious, know I not that you chose the son of Yishay to your own shame and to the shame of the nakedness of your mother?

¹⁷ So now know and see what you work; for evil finishes off against our adoni and against all his household: for he is too much of a son of Beli Yaal to word to.

⁵ And he strengthens himself and builds all the broken wall so that it ascends to the towers; and another outer wall; and strengthens Millo the city of David: and works spears and bucklers in abundance.

³ And they say to me, The survivors who survived the captivity there in the jurisdiction are in great evil and reproach: and the wall of Yeru Shalem is broken down and the portals thereof are burned with fire.

³² Better, slow to wrath, than mighty; - to reign over the spirit, than to capture a city.

²⁴ Neither befriend a master of fury; nor go with a man of fury;
