THE BURDEN OF BABEL
The burden of Babel Yesha Yah the son of Amos saw: ² You, lift an ensign upon the barren mountain; exalt the voice to them; shake the hand, so that they go into the portals of the volunteers. ³ I misvah my hallowed; I also call my mighty for my wrath - those jumping for joy in my pomp. ⁴ The voice of a multitude in the mountains, in the likeness of a great people; an uproar of noise of the sovereigndoms of goyim who gather: Yah Veh Sabaoth musters the host of the war: ⁵ they come from a land afar - from the end of the heavens - Yah Veh and the instruments of his rage to despoil the whole land. ⁶ You, howl! for the day of Yah Veh approaches; it comes as a ravage from Shadday. ⁷ So all hands slacken and every heart of man melts; ⁸ and they terrify: pains and pangs take hold of them; they writhe as a woman birthing: every man marvels at friend - their faces as flames. ⁹ Behold, the day of Yah Veh comes - cruel - with both wrath and fuming wrath to set the land desolate: and he desolates the sinners from it. ¹⁰ For the stars of the heavens and kesil halal not their light: the sun darkens in its going, and the moon illuminates not its light. ¹¹ And I visit the world for their evil and the wicked for their perversity; and I cause the pomp of the arrogant to shabbathize; and abase the pomp of the tyrant. ¹² I esteem a man more precious than pure gold; and humanity more than the ore of Ophir. ¹³ So I quake the heavens and quake the earth from her place in the wrath of Yah Veh Sabaoth and in the day of his fuming wrath. ¹⁴ And so be it, as the driven gazelle and as a flock, no one gathers: every man faces his own people and every man flees to his own land:

⁸ He swallows death in perpetuity; and Adonay Yah Veh wipes away tears from off all faces; and turns aside the rebuke of his people from off all the earth - for Yah Veh has worded.

²² For Yah Veh our judge; Yah Veh our statute setter; Yah Veh our sovereign; he saves us.

¹⁰ and the redeemed of Yah Veh return and come to Siyon with shouting and eternal cheerfulness on their heads: they attain rejoicing and cheerfulness, and grief and sighing flee away.

THE SIGH OF ELOHIM
You, sigh - sigh over my people, says your Elohim. ² Word to the heart of Yeru Shalem and call out to her that her hostility is fulfilled - that her perversity is satisfied: for she takes double of the hand of Yah Veh for all her sins.

²² Thus says your Adonay Yah Veh, and your Elohim who pleads the cause of his people, Behold, I take the cup of staggering from your hand - the chalice of the cup of my fury; add not to drink it again:

¹⁴ Establish yourself in justness - far removed from oppression for you awe not: and from ruin; for it approaches you not.

¹⁸ Violence is heard no more in your land or ravage or breaking within your borders; and you call your walls, Salvation, and your portals, Halal.

¹⁹ and I twirl in Yeru Shalem and rejoice in my people: and neither is the voice of weeping heard in her any more, nor the voice of crying:

MESSAGE AGAINST BABEL
The word Yah Veh words against Babel and against the land of the Kesediym by the hand of Yirme Yah the prophet. ² Tell you among the goyim and have them hear; and lift an ensign: have them hear; and conceal not: say, Babel is captured, Bel is shamed, Merodach is broken: her idols are shamed; her idols are broken. ³ For from the north a goyim ascends against her who places her land desolate; and no one settles therein: they wander; they depart; - both humanity and animal. ⁴ In those days, and in that time, - an oracle of Yah Veh the sons of Yisra El come - they and the sons of Yah Hudah together coming and weeping: they come and seek Yah Veh their Elohim: ⁵ they ask the way to Siyon with their faces toward, Come; we join ourselves to Yah Veh in an eternal covenant, not forgotten. ⁶ My people became lost flocks their tenders strayed them, they apostatized them on the mountains: going from mountain to hill they forgot their repose. ⁷ All who find them devour them: and their tribulators say, We guilt not! - because they sinned against Yah Veh the habitation of rest of justness; - Yah Veh, the expectation of their fathers. ⁸ Wander from the midst of Babel and come from the land of the Kesediym; and be as the he goats at the face of the flocks. ⁹ For, behold, I waken and against Babel I ascend a congregation of great goyim from the north land: and they line up against her; from thence they capture her: their arrows as of a mighty discerner; no one returns in vain. ¹⁰ And Kesediym becomes a spoil: all who spoil her satiate - an oracle of Yah Veh ¹¹ because you cheer - because you jump for joy O you plunderers of my inheritance, because you grow fat as the heifer at grass and resound as the mighty; ¹² your mother shames mightily; she who birthed you blushes: behold, the backword of the goyim are a wilderness, a parch, and a plain: ¹³ because of the rage of Yah Veh it is not settled and becomes wholly desolate: every one who passes by Babel astonishes and hisses at all her wounds. ¹⁴ Line up against Babel, all around - all you who bend the bow: hand toss at her; spare no arrows: for she sinned against Yah Veh. ¹⁵ Shout against her all around: she gives her hand: her foundations fallen; her walls overthrown: for it is the avengement of Yah Veh: avenge on her; as she worked, work to her: ¹⁶ cut off the seeder from Babel; and he who manipulates the sickle in the time of harvest: at the face of the oppressing sword; every man faces to his people, and every man flees to his own land. ¹⁷ Yisra El is a scattered lamb; the lions drive him away: first the sovereign of Ashshur devours him; and last this Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel craunches his bones. ¹⁸ So thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El; Behold, I visit on the sovereign of Babel and his land, as I visited on the sovereign of Ashshur: ¹⁹ and I return Yisra El to his habitation of rest, and he tends on Karmel/orchard and Bashan, and his soul satiates on mount Ephrayim and Gilad. ²⁰ In those days, and in that time, - an oracle of Yah Veh they seek the perversity of Yisra El, and there is none; and the sins of Yah Hudah, and they find them not: for I forgive them whom I leave remaining. ²¹ Ascend against the land of Merathayim, - against it, and against the settlers of Peqod: parch and devote after them - an oracle of Yah Veh and work according to all I misvahed you. ²² A voice of war is in the land, and of great breaking. ²³ How the hammer of the whole earth is cut apart and broken! How Babel becomes a desolation among the goyim! ²⁴ I lay a snare for you, and also capture you, O Babel, and you know not: you are found out and also apprehended because you throttled against Yah Veh. ²⁵ Yah Veh opens his treasury and brings forth the instruments of his rage: for this is the work of Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth in the land of the Kesediym. ²⁶ Come against her from the end; open her granaries: raise her as heaps and devote her that there be no survivors: ²⁷ parch all her bullocks; descend them to the slaughter. Ho to them! for their day is come - the time of their visitation. ²⁸ The voice of them who flee and escape from the land of Babel, to tell in Siyon the avengement of Yah Veh our Elohim - the avengement of his manse. ²⁹ Hearken the archers against Babel all you who bend the bow: encamp against it all around; that there be no escapees: shalam her according to her deeds; work to her according to all she worked: for she is proud against Yah Veh - against the Holy One of Yisra El. ³⁰ So fell her youths in the broadways and sever all her men of war in that day - an oracle of Yah Veh. ³¹ Behold, I am against you, O Arrogance! - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth for your day is come - to visit you: ³² and the arrogant to falter and fall with no one to raise him: and I kindle a fire in his cities, and it consumes all all around him. 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. ³⁵ A sword is on the Kesediym - an oracle of Yah Veh and on the settlers of Babel and on her governors and on her wise: ³⁶ a sword is on their lies and they folly; a sword is on her mighty and they dismay; ³⁷ a sword is on their horses and on their chariots and on all the comingled among her; and they become as women: a sword is on her treasures and they are plundered; ³⁸ a parch is on her waters and they dry up; for it is the land of sculptiles and they halal bugaboos: ³⁹ so the desert dwellers settle there with the island howlers; and the daughters of the owls settle therein: and it is neither settled any more in perpetuity; nor tabernacled in from generation to generation. ⁴⁰ As Elohim overthrew Sedom and Amorah and the nearby tabernacles - an oracle of Yah Veh thus neither man settles there, nor any son of humanity sojourns therein. ⁴¹ Behold, a people come from the north even a great goyim, and many sovereigns waken from the flanks of the earth: ⁴² they hold the bow and the dart; they are cruel, and mercy not: their voice roars as the sea and they ride on horses - lined up against you, O daughter of Babel, as a man to the war. ⁴³ The sovereign of Babel hears their report and he slackens his hands: tribulation takes hold of him and pangs as in birthing. ⁴⁴ Behold, he ascends as a lion from the pomp of Yarden to the habitation of rest of the perennial: but I, in a blink, run them away from her. And who is chosen? I appoint over her! For who is like me? And who congregates with me? And who is that tender who stands at my face? ⁴⁵ So hear the counsel Yah Veh counsels against Babel; and the fabrications he fabricates against the land of the Kesediym: surely the lesser of the flock drag them out: surely he desolates their habitation of rest with them. ⁴⁶ At the voice of the apprehending of Babel the earth quakes; and the cry is heard among the goyim.

THE SOVEREIGNDOM OF DAVID
And David my servant is sovereign over them; and their is one tender: and they walk in my judgments and guard my statutes and work them: ²⁵ and they dwell in the land I gave to Yaaqov my servant, wherein your fathers settled: and they settle therein - they and their sons, and the sons of their sons eternally: and my servant David is their hierarch eternally. ²⁶
THE ETERNAL COVENANT OF YAH VEH
And I cut a covenant of shalom with them - so be it, an eternal covenant with them: and I give them and abound them; and give my holies among them eternally. ²⁷ My tabernacle also is with them: yes, I am their Elohim and they become my people: ²⁸ and the goyim know that I Yah Veh hallow Yisra El, when my holies is among them eternally.

²⁹ and I hide not my face from them any more: for I pour my spirit on the house of Yisra El - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

³⁵ - eighteen thousand all around. And the name of the city from that day on, Yah Veh Sham.

¹⁷ Thus you know I - Yah Veh your Elohim tabernacling in Siyon, my holy mountain: then Yeru Shalem becomes holy, and strangers pass through her no more.

²⁰ And Yah Hudah settles eternally, and Yeru Shalem from generation to generation. ²¹ For I exonerate their blood which I had not exonerated: for Yah Veh tabernacles in Siyon.

¹⁵ and I plant them on their soil - no more uprooted from the soil I give them, says Yah Veh your Elohim.

¹⁰ And my enemy sees; and shame covers her who says to me, Where is Yah Veh your Elohim? My eyes see her: now she becomes for trampling as the mire of the outways.

¹⁶ The goyim see and shame at all their might: they set their hand on their mouth; - deafen their ears: ¹⁷ they lick the dust as a serpent; they quiver from their strongholds as creepers of the earth: they fear Yah Veh our Elohim and awe because of you. ¹⁸ Who is an El like to you, who bears perversity, and passes by the rebellion of the survivors of his inheritance? he holds not his wrath eternally because he delights mercy. ¹⁹ He restores; he mercies us: he subdues our perversities. You cast all their sins into the deep of the sea; ²⁰ You give truth to Yaaqov; mercy to Abraham - which you oathed to our fathers from the days of antiquity.

⁸ Because you spoil many goyim all the remnant of the people spoil you - because of human blood and for the violence of the land; of the city and all who settle therein.

¹⁷ For the violence of Lebanon covers you, and the ravage of animals terrifies them because of human blood; and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all who dwell therein.

⁵ Yah Veh is just among her; he works not wickedness: morning by morning he gives his judgment to light; he lacks not: and the wicked shame not.

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.

¹⁴ And the angel wording with me says to me, Call out, saying, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: I am jealous/zealous for Yeru Shalem and for Siyon with a great jealousy/zeal: ¹⁵ and in my enraging, I enrage greatly with the goyim who relax: for I was but a little enraged, and they helped for evil. ¹⁶ So thus says Yah Veh: I return to Yeru Shalem with mercies: build my house therein - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth and spread a line on Yeru Shalem:

⁸ For thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: After the honor he sends me to the goyim who spoiled you: for he who touches you touches the pupil of his eye. ⁹ For, behold, I shake my hand on them, and they become a spoil to their servants: and you know that Yah Veh Sabaoth sent me.

¹³ And so be it, as you were an abasement among the goyim, O house of Yah Hudah and house of Yisra El, thus I save you, and you become a blessing: awe not; strengthen your hands. ¹⁴ For thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: As I intrigued to vilify you when your fathers enraged me, says Yah Veh Sabaoth, and I sighed not: ¹⁵ thus in these days, I return to intrigue and well-please Yeru Shalem and the house of Yah Hudah. Awe not.

THE SAVING SOVEREIGN
Twirl mightily, O daughter of Siyon! Shout, O daughter of Yeru Shalem! Behold, your Sovereign comes to you: he is just and saving; humble - and riding on a burro and on a colt the son of a she burro.

⁶ And the house of Yah Hudah prevails mightily, and I save the house of Yoseph and I resettle them; for I mercy them: and they become as though I cast them not off: for I - Yah Veh their Elohim, and I answer them. ⁷ And Ephrayim is as the mighty; and their heart cheers as through wine: yes, their sons see, and cheer; their heart twirls in Yah Veh.

³ and in that day, I set Yeru Shalem a stone of burden for all goyim: all who burden themselves with it in incising, incise themselves, and all the people of the earth gather against it.

¹¹ And they settle in her, and is no more devotement; and Yeru Shalem settles confidently.

⁴⁹ Nathan El answers him, wording, Rabbi, you are the Son of Elohim! You are the Sovereign of Yisra El!

¹⁵ Awe not, daughter of Siyon! Behold, your Sovereign comes, sitting on a colt of a burro. ^{Psalm 118:25, 26; Zechar Yah 9:9}

¹⁹ And Pilatos scribes a title, and puts it on the stake: and the scribing is: YAH SHUA THE NAZARENE THE SOVEREIGN OF THE YAH HUDIYM.

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

¹⁵ because of this they are in sight of the throne of Elohim and liturgize in his nave day and night: and he sitting on the throne tabernacles among them.

¹⁰
VICTORY IN THE HEAVENS
And I hear a mega voice in the heavens, wording, Now becomes salvation and dynamis and the sovereigndom of our Elohim and the authority of his the Messiah: because the accuser of our brothers is cast down - who accused them in sight of our Elohim day and night.

¹⁶ And on his garment and on his thigh he has a name scribed, SOVEREIGN OF SOVEREIGNS, AND ADONAY OF ADONIYM.

³
THE NEW RELATIONSHIP OF ELOHIM WITH THE HOLY
And I hear a mega voice from the heavens, wording, Behold, the tabernacle of Elohim is with humanity and he tabernacles with them; and they become his peoples and Elohim himself becomes with them - their Elohim. ⁴ And Elohim wipes all tears from their eyes; and there still becomes neither death nor sorrow nor crying; and never no way still becomes pain: because the first have gone.
