² And he will say before his brethren and the strength of Shomeron, and he will say, What are the feeble Jews doing? will they leave to themselves? will they sacrifice? will they finish in a day? will they give life to the stones of the heaps of dust, and they being burnt? ³ And Tobiah the Ammonite near him, and he will say, Also that they are building, if a fox shall go up, and he brake their walls of stones. ⁴ Hear, O our God; for we were despised: and turn back their reproach upon their head, and wilt thou give them for plunder in the land of captivity?

³ Compassionate us, O Jehovah, compassionate us: for we were much filled with contempt ⁴ Much was our soul filled with it, a derision of those living at ease the contempt of the proud.

¹⁹ In the multitude of words transgression shall not cease: and he withholding his lips is prudent

²¹ He despising to his neighbor, sins: and he compassionating the poor, he is happy.

¹⁴ And the Pharisees heard all these things, being avaricious: and they derided him.

⁹ And he spake to certain trusting upon themselves that they were just, and setting at nought the rest, this parable:

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him? ⁴⁹ But the crowd, not knowing the law, are cursed. ⁵⁰ Nicodemus says to them, (he having come to him by night, being one of them,) ⁵¹ Our law judges not a man, except it first hear from him, and know what he does. ⁵² They answered and said to him, And art thou not of Galilee? Search, and see: for a prophet has not risen out of Galilee.

²³ Who, being reviled, reviled not back; suffering, he threatened not; and delivered to him judging justly;

¹⁶ Thou shalt not go a slanderer among thy people; thou shalt not stand upon the blood of thy neighbor: I Jehovah.

¹⁴ And the men will say to her, Our soul instead of yours to die if ye shall not announce this our word. And it being in Jehovah's giving to us the land, and we did with thee mercy and truth.

²⁰ And if thou shalt announce this our word, and we were free from thine oath which thou didst cause us to swear.

¹⁷ Also in these days the nobles of Judah were multiplying their letters going to Tobiah, and those to Tobiah came to them. ¹⁸ For many in Judah being married by oath to him for he was son-in-law to Shechaniah son of Arah; and Johanan his son took the daughter of Meshullam, son of Berechiah. ¹⁹ Also his good things were said before me, and my words were brought forth to him. Tobiah sent letters to cause me to fear.

⁵ A witness of faithfulnesses will not lie: and a witness of falsehood will breathe out lies.

¹⁹ He revealing a secret going about tale-bearing: and thou shalt not intermingle with him embracing his lips.

⁹ Contend thy contention with thy neighbor; and thou shalt not reveal the secret of another:

²⁰ In the ceasing of wood, fire will go out: and in not being a tale-bearer, strife will subside. ²¹ As charcoal to burning coals and woods to fire, and a man of strifes to kindle strife. ²² The words of a tale-bearer as dainty morsels, and they will go down to the chambers of the belly.

²⁷ And all the chiefs will come to Jeremiah, and they will ask him: and he will announce to them according to all these words which the king commanded. And they will be silent from him, for the word was not heard.

¹³ And at the same time also they learn to be idle, going round about the houses; and not only idle, but also indulging in idle talk, and occupied with unnecessary things, speaking things not becoming.

¹ And Rehoboam will go to Shechem, for to Shechem came all Israel to make him king. ² And it will be when Jeroboam son of Nebat heard and he yet in Egypt where he fled from the face of Solomon the king, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt; ³ And they will send and call for him: and Jeroboam and all the convocation of Israel will come and speak to Rehoboam, saying, ⁴ Thy father made our yoke hard and now do thou lighten from the hard service of thy father, and from the heavy yoke which he gave upon us, and we will serve thee. ⁵ And he will say to them, Go ye, until three days, and turn back to me. And the people will go. ⁶ And king Rehoboam will consult the old men which were standing before Solomon his father in his being alive saying, How advise ye to turn back this people word? ⁷ And they will speak to him, saying, If this day thou wilt be a servant to this people and serve them, and answer them, and speak to them good words, and they were servants to thee all the days. ⁸ And he will forsake the counsel of the old men which they counseled him, and he will consult with the children which grew up with him which were standing before him. ⁹ And he will say to them, What do ye advise? and we will turn back word to this people who spake to me, saying, Lighten from the yoke which thy father gave upon us. ¹⁰ And the children which grew up with him will speak to him, saying, Thus shalt thou say to this people who spake to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou lighten from upon us; thus shalt thou speak to them, My littleness thick above my father's loins. ¹¹ And now my father loaded upon you a heavy yoke, and I will add upon your yoke: my father chastised you with whips and I will chastise you with scorpions. ¹² And Jeroboam and all the people will come to Rehoboam in the third day, as the king spake, saying, Turn back to me in the third day. ¹³ And the king will answer the people hard, and he will forsake the counsel of the old men which they counseled him; ¹⁴ And he will speak to them according to the counsel of the children, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add upon your yoke: my father chastised you with whips and I will chastise you with scorpions. ¹⁵ And the king heard not to the people, for the turn was from Jehovah for sake of lifting up his word which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat. ¹⁶ And all Israel will see that the king heard not to them, and the people will turn back the king word, saying, What part to us in David? and no inheritance in the son of Jesse: to thy tents, O Israel: now see to thy house, David. And Israel will go to their tents. ¹⁷ And the sons of Israel dwelling in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam will reign over them. ¹⁸ And king Rehoboam will send Adoram who was over the tribute, and all Israel will stone upon him with stone, and he will die. And king Rehoboam strengthened himself to go up into the chariot to flee to Jerusalem. ¹⁹ And Israel will break with the house of David even to this day.

²² The frustrating purposes with no counsel, but in the multitude of counselors it shall be set up.

²² The understanding of him possessing it is a fountain of life: and the instruction of the foolish is folly.

¹⁸ The purpose shall be prepared by counsel, and with guidance make war.

⁶ For by guidance thou shalt make to thee war, and in the multitude of counselors salvation.

¹¹ Also the chiefs of Zoan are foolish, the wise counseling Pharaoh the counsel became brutish: how shall ye say to Pharaoh, I the son of the wise, the son of kings of old? ¹² Where are they? where thy wise? and they shall announce to thee now, and they shall make known what Jehovah shall counsel upon Egypt ¹³ The chiefs of Zoan were foolish, the chiefs of Noph were deceived; and they caused Egypt to wander, the pinnacles of its tribes. ¹⁴ Jehovah mingled in the midst of her a spirit of perversities) and they caused Egypt to wander in all its works as the intoxicated wanders in his vomit

⁶ And the sent and elders were gathered together to see about this word. ⁷ And much discussion having been, Peter having risen up, said to them, Men, brethren, ye know that from ancient days God chose among us, through my month for the nations to hear the word of good news, and believe. ⁸ And God the knower of hearts testified to them, having given them the Holy Spirit, as also us; ⁹ And separated nothing between us and also them, by faith having purified their hearts. ¹⁰ Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? ¹¹ But by grace of our Lord Jesus Christ we believe to be saved, as also they. ¹² And all the multitude were silent, and heard Barnabas and Paul, recounting what signs and wonders God did in the nations through them. ¹³ And after they were silent, James answered, saying, Men, brethren, hear me: ¹⁴ Simeon related how God first reviewed to take from the nations a people for his name. ¹⁵ And with this the words of the prophets agree: as has been written, ¹⁶ After these will I return, and rebuild the tent of David, having fallen; and its things undermined will I rebuild, and set it upright: ¹⁷ So that they remaining of men might seek out the Lord, and all the nations upon whom my name has been called upon them, says the Lord, making all these. ¹⁸ Known to God are all his works from eternity. ¹⁹ Wherefore I judge, not to molest them, from the nations turning back to God: ²⁰ But to send to them, to keep off from pollutions of images, and harlotry, and strangulation, and blood. ²¹ For Moses of ancient generations has them proclaiming him in every city, being read in the synagogues in every sabbath.

¹ My son, if thou becamest surety for thy friend, thou didst strike thy hands for a stranger; ² Thou wert snared with the sayings of thy mouth, thou wert taken with the sayings of thy mouth. ³ Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself when thou camest into the hand of thy friend; go humble thyself and enlarge thy friend. ⁴ Thou shalt not give sleep to thine eyes, and slumber to thine eyelashes. ⁵ Deliver thyself as the roe from the hand, and as the bird from the hand of the fowler.

¹⁸ A man wanting heart will strike the hand, pledging a pledge before his friend.

¹⁶ Take his garment that became surety for a stranger: and bind him by a pledge for strange women.

²⁶ Thou shalt not be with those striking the hand with those pledging for debts. ²⁷ If not to thee to requite, why shall he take thy bed from under thee?

³² And David will say to Abigail, Blessed Jehovah the God of Israel who sent thee this day to meet me. ³³ And blessed thy discernment, and blessed thou who finished me this day from coming for bloods, and my hand saving for me.

¹⁶ And a wise woman will call out of the city, Hear ye, hear ye; say now to Joab, Come near hither and I will speak to you. ¹⁷ And he will draw near to her, and the woman will say, Art thou Joab? and he will say, I. And she will say to him, Hear the words of thy servant And he will say, I hear. ¹⁸ And she will say, saying, They will speak the word in the beginning, saying, They will ask an asking in Abel: and thus they finished. ¹⁹ I peaceful of the faithful of Israel: thou seeking to kill a city and a mother in Israel: wherefore wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah? ²⁰ And Joab will say, Far be it, far be it to me, if I shall swallow up and if I shall destroy. ²¹ Not thus the word; for a man from mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri, his name, lifted up his hand against the king, against David: ye shall give him only, and I will go from the city. And the woman will say to Joab, Behold, his head being cast to thee behind the wall. ²² And the woman will go to all the people in her wisdom: and they will cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri and cast to Joab. And he will strike upon the trumpet, and they will disperse from the city, a man to his tent. And Joab turned back to Jerusalem to the king.

²⁵ And in her coming before the king, he said by letter he will turn back his purpose of evil that he purposed against the Jews upon his head: and they hung him and his sons upon the tree.

³⁰ Favor a falsehood, and beauty vanity: a woman fearing Jehovah, she shall be praised. ³¹ Ye shall give her from the fruit of her hands, and her works shall praise her in the gates.

¹³ Truly I say to you, Wheresoever this good news be proclaimed in the whole world, shall it also be spoken what she did, for a remembrance of her.

³ And Joanna wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who served him from possessions to them.

⁴² And of one thing there is need : and Mary has chosen the 'good part which shall not betaken away from her.

²¹ When the strong, completely armed, should watch his court-yard, his possessions are in peace : ²² And when a stronger than he, having come, conquers him, he takes away his complete armor in which he trusted, and distributes his spoils.

² And he also saw a certain poor widow casting there two small coins. ³ And he said, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow has cast in more than all: ⁴ For all they, of that abounding to them, have cast in to the gifts of God: and she from her want cast in all the living which she had.

³⁹ And Peter having risen came with them. Whom having approached, they brought into the upper room: and all the widows stood before him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, being with them.

¹⁴ And a certain woman, by name Lydia, a dealer in purple garments, of the city of Thyatira, worshipping God, heard: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to things spoken by Paul. ¹⁵ And when she was immersed, and her house, she besought, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, having come into my house, remain. And she forced us.

² That ye receive her in the Lord, worthy of the holy ones, and encourage her in whatever thing she have need of you: for she also has been the rule of many, and of myself. ³ Embrace Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: ⁴ Who for my soul have laid down their own necks: to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the nations.

⁶ Embrace Mary, who wearied for us.

¹ The elder to the chosen mistress in truth; (and not I only, but also all and to her children, whom I love they having known the truth;)

¹⁹ For he oppressed, forsaking the poor; he stripped the house and he will not build it up. ²⁰ For he knew not tranquillity in his belly, in his desire he shall not escape. ²¹ Nothing was left to his food; for this his good shall not be stable. ²² In the fulness of his abundance it shall be pressed to him: every laboring hand shall come to him. ²³ He will be for filling his belly, he will send upon him the burning of his anger, and will rain upon him in his eating.

¹ To the overseer: chanting of David. Happy he attending to the weak one: in the day of evil Jehovah will deliver him. ² Jehovah will watch him and preserve him alive; he shall be happy upon the earth, and thou wilt not give him to the soul of his enemies. ³ Jehovah will support him upon a bed of sickness: thou turnedst all his bed in his sickness. ⁴ I said, O Jehovah, pity me, heal my soul, for I sinned against thee.

⁴ Light arose in darkness to the upright: merciful and compassionate and just ⁵ A good man, being merciful and lending: he will hold up his words in judgment; ⁶ For he shall not be moved forever: the just one shall be for eternal remembrance. ⁷ He shall not fear an evil report: his heart being prepared to trust in Jehovah. ⁸ His heart being sustained, he will not fear even till he shall look upon his enemies. ⁹ He scattered, he gave to the needy; his justice stands forever; his horn shall be exalted in glory.

²⁷ He plundering plunder troubled his house; and he hating gifts shall live.

⁸ There is one, and not a second; also a son and brother not to him: and no end to all his labor; also his eye shall not be satisfied with riches: and for whom do I labor and diminish my soul from good? Also this is vanity, and it is an evil labor.

⁷ And the implements of the deceiver are evil: he will meditate counsels to destroy the humble with words of falsehood, and in the needy's speaking judgments. ⁸ And the liberal will counsel liberal things, and upon liberal things shall he stand.

¹ The just one perished and none put upon the heart: men of kindness being taken away, for none understanding that the just one was taken away from the face of evil

⁷ Is it not to break thy bread to the hungry, and thou shalt bring the wandering poor to thy house? when thou shalt see the naked and cover him; and thou shalt not hide from thy flesh. ⁸ Then shall thy light break forth as the dawn, and thy healing shall spring forth quickly: and thy justice going before thee; the glory of Jehovah shall gather thee. ⁹ Then shalt thou call and Jehovah will answer; thou shalt cry for help, and he will say, Behold me. If thou shalt take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the extending of the finger, and the word of vanity; ¹⁰ And thou shalt give out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the humble soul; and thy light rising in darkness,, and thy thick darkness as the noon. ¹¹ And Jehovah led thee continually, and he satisfied thy soul in dry places, and he will make thy bones strong: and thou wed as a watered garden, and as a spring of water which its waters shall not deceive. ¹² And from thee the old wastes were built; the foundations of generation and generation thou shalt raise them up, and it was called to thee, Walling the breach, Turning back the beaten paths to dwell in.

²⁷ Wherefore, O king, my counsel shall be pleasant to thee, and break off thy sins by justice, and thine iniquities in compassionating the poor; if it shall be a lengthening to thy peace.

⁷ Happy the compasaionate: for they shall be commiserated.

¹⁴ For if ye let go to men their faults, your Father which in the heavens will also let go to you. ¹⁵ But if ye should not let go to men their faults, neither will your Father let go your faults.

³⁴ Then shall the king say to them from his right, Come, the praised of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: ³⁵ For I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me to drink: I was a stranger, and ye brought me in: ³⁶ Naked, and ye put around me: I was sick, and ye reviewed me: I was in prison, and ye came to me. ³⁷ Then shall the just answer him saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, and nourished or thirsting, and gave to drink ³⁸ And when saw we thee a stranger, and brought in or naked, and put around ³⁹ And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee? ⁴⁰ And the king having answered, will say to them, Trull I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did to one of the least of my brethren, ye did to me.

³⁸ Give, and it shall be given you; good measure, yielded, and shaken, and overflowed, shall they give into your bosom: for with the same measure that ye measure, shall it be measured back to you.

⁶ And this, He sowing sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he sowing in praises shall reap also in praises. ⁷ Each as he chooses in the heart; not of grief, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver. ⁸ And God able for all grace to abound in you; having always all sufficiency in everything, ye abound in every good work: ⁹ (As has been written, He scattered; he gave to the poor: his justice remains forever. ¹⁰ And now he furnishing seed to him sowing, and bread for food, furnish and multiply your sowing-season, and increase the fruits of your justice;) ¹¹ Enriched in everything in all simplicity, which works through us gratitude to God. ¹² For the service of this office is not only filling up the wants of the saints, but also abounding through many thanks to God; ¹³ By the proof of this service honouring God for the subjection of your assent to the good news of Christ, and to the simplicity of mutual participation to them and to all; ¹⁴ And by their prayer for you, longing for you through the exceeding grace of God upon you.

¹⁷ Not that I covet a gift: but I covet fruit abounding to your word.

¹³ For unpropitiated judgment to him not doing mercy; and mercy boasteth against judgment.

¹ Come on now, ye rich, weep, uttering loud cries of grief for the misfortunes coming upon you. ² Your riches have become corrupted, and your garments have been moth eaten; ³ Your gold and silver is become rusty; and their rust shall be for a witness to you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have gathered up treasures in the last days. ⁴ Behold, the hire of laborers having reaped your farms, withheld by you, cries out, and the cries of the reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. ⁵ Ye have led a luxurious life upon the earth, and have rioted in luxury; ye have nourished your hearts, as in the day of slaughter.

¹³ This the portion of an unjust man with God, and the inheritance of the terrible they shall take from the Almighty. ¹⁴ If his sons shall be multiplied, for then the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. ¹⁵ His surviving one shall be buried in death, and his widows shall not weep. ¹⁶ If he shall heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as clay; ¹⁷ He shall prepare, and the just shall put on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. ¹⁸ He built his house as the moth, and as a booth he watching made. ¹⁹ The rich one shall lie down, and he shall not be gathered: he opened his eyes, and he is not ²⁰ Terrors shall hedge him about as waters, the night a tempest stole him away. ²¹ The east wind shall lift him up, and he shall go: and it shall sweep him away in storm from his place. ²² For he shall cast upon him and not spare: fleeing, he will flee from his hand. ²³ It shall be clapped upon him with their hands, and it shall be hissed upon him from his place.

⁵ They sowing in tears shall reap in rejoicing. ⁶ He going, shall go; and weeping he lifted up the drawing of the seed: coming, he shall come with joy, lifting up his sheaves.

¹⁸ And they will lie in wait for their blood; they will hide for their souls.

⁸ He sowing iniquity shall reap vanity, and the rod of his wrath shall be finished.

⁵ They plundered vipers' eggs, and they will weave spiders webs: he eating from their eggs shall die, and being crushed, it shall break forth a viper. ⁶ Their webs shall not be for a garment, and they shall not be covered with their works: their works the works of vanity, and the work of violence in their hands. ⁷ Their feet will run to evil, and they will hasten to pour out innocent blood: their purposes, purposes of vanity; destruction and breaking in their highways. ⁸ The way of peace they knew not, and no judgment in their paths: they perverted their beaten paths for themselves: every one treading in it shall not know peace.

¹² Sow to yourselves for justice, reap ye for the mouth of kindness; break up to you the fallow ground: and the time to seek Jehovah till he shall come and cast justice upon you. ¹³ Ye ploughed injustice, ye reaped iniquity; ye ate the fruit of falsehood: for thou didst trust in thy way in the multitude of thy strong ones.

⁸ For he sowing to his flesh of the flesh shall reap corruption; but he sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap eternal life. ⁹ And doing good let us not despond: for in proper time we shall reap, not being enervated.

²² For you to put away according to the former mode of life the old man, corrupted according to the eager desires of deceit;

¹⁸ And the fruit of justice is sown in peace by those making peace.

¹⁶ For their feet will run to evil, and they will hasten to pour out blood: ¹⁷ For gratuitously the net was spread in the eyes of all possessing a wing. ¹⁸ And they will lie in wait for their blood; they will hide for their souls. ¹⁹ So the ways of every one plundering plunder; he will take the soul of those possessing it.

²² He went after her suddenly as the ox will go to the slaughter, and as the fetter for the correction of the foolish. ²³ Till an arrow shall cleave his liver; as a bird hastening to the snare, and not knowing that it is for his soul.

³⁶ And he sinning against me did violence to his soul: all hating me loved death.

¹⁶ The labors of the just one, to life: the increase of the unjust to sin.

⁴ Wealth will not profit in the day of wrath, and justice will deliver from death.

²³ The fear of Jehovah is to life: and he being filled shall lodge satisfied; he shall not be reviewed for evil.

³⁵ But in every nation he fearing him, and working justice, is acceptable to him.

⁸ But to them of intrigue, and are truly disobedient to the truth, and yielding to injustice, anger and wrath, ⁹ Affliction and distress, upon every soul of man working evil, both of the Jew first, and of the Greek;

²³ For the purchasing the provisions of sin, death; and the grace of God, life eternal in Christ Jesus our Lord.

⁷ Little children, let none deceive you: he doing justice is just, as he is just.

¹⁰ In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the accuser: every one not doing justice is not of God, and he not loving his brother.

¹⁷ And I knew, my God, that thou triest the heart, and from uprightness thou wilt delight. I in the uprightness of my heart gave willingly all these: and now thy people were found here; I saw with gladness to show themselves willing to thee.

⁷ For Jehovah the just loved justice; his face will behold the upright

²⁵ With the kind thou wilt show thyself kind; and with the blameless man thou wilt be perfect ²⁶ With the purified thou wilt be purified, and with the perverse thou wilt show thyself perverse

⁶ Behold, thou didst delight in truth in the reins, and in bidden things thou wilt cause me to know wisdom.

¹ Happy the blameless of way, they going in the law of Jehovah.

¹³ But the just shall confess to thy name: the upright shall dwell with thy face.

¹⁴ Perverseness in his heart, fabricating evil in all time, he will send forth strifes.

¹⁶ These six Jehovah hated, and seven an abomination of his soul: ¹⁷ Eyes being lifted up; a tongue of falsehood, and hands shedding innocent blood, ¹⁸ A heart fabricating purposes of iniquity; feet being quick to run to evil, ¹⁹ A witness of falsehood, breathing out lies, and sending strife between brethren.

¹³ The fear of Jehovah hates evil: pride and haughtiness, and the evil way, and the mouth of perverseness I hated.

⁷ He instructing him mocking received to himself dishonor: and he reproving to the unjust one, his blemish.

²² Lips of falsehood an abomination of Jehovah: and they doing faithfulness his delight

⁸ The sacrifice of the unjust an abomination of Jehovah: and the prayer of the upright his acceptance.

¹⁷ The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: to watch his ways the guarding of his soul.

²⁹ An unjust man strengthened with his face: and the upright he will prepare his ways.

⁷ And I set up my covenant between me and between thee, and between thy seed after thee to their generations for a covenant of eternity; to be a God to thee and to thy seed after thee. ⁸ And I gave to thee and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings with all the land of Canaan for an eternal possession; and I was God to them.

² Thou shalt not be after multitudes for evil; thou shalt not answer for the multitude to stretch out after multitudes to pervert justice.

²⁶ All the day he compassionates and lends; and his seed to be blessed.

¹ Praise ye Jah. Happy the man fearing Jehovah, delighting greatly in his commands.. ² His seed shall be great in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be praised.

²² The good shall cause his sons' sons to inherit: and the wealth of him sinning was treasured up for the just.

⁵ Every one lifted up of heart an abomination to Jehovah: and hand to hand, shall not be unpunished.

⁴ Wrath not to me: who shall distribute to me the sharp point of the thorn in battle? I will rush upon her; I will set her on fire together.

³⁹ And I gave to them one heart and one way, to fear me all the days, for good to them and to their sons after them.

³⁹ For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all afar off, as many as the Lord our God should call.

⁴⁷ And I shall ask her and say., Whose daughter thou? And she will say, The daughter of Bethuel, son of Nahor, whom Milcah brought forth to him: and I shall place the ring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.

¹⁰ And behold, a woman to his meeting, the attire of a harlot, and hidden of heart

¹³ A woman of folly being noisy, simple, and she knew not anything.

³⁰ Favor a falsehood, and beauty vanity: a woman fearing Jehovah, she shall be praised.

¹⁵ And thou wilt trust in thy beauty, and commit fornication upon thy name, and thou wilt pour out thy fornications upon every one passing by; to him it will be. ¹⁶ And thou wilt take from thy garments and make to thee heights being spotted, and thou wilt commit fornication upon them: thou earnest not in, and it shall not be. ¹⁷ And thou wilt take all thy ornaments from my gold and from my silver, which I gave to thee, and thou wilt make to thee images of a male and commit fornication with them. ¹⁸ And thou wilt take thy garments of variegations and cover them: and thou gavest mine oil and mine incense before them. ¹⁹ And my bread which I gave to thee, fine flour and oil and honey I gave thee to eat, and thou didst give it before them for an odor of sweetness: and it will be, says the Lord Jehovah. ²⁰ And thou wilt take thy sons and thy daughters which thou didst bear to me, and thou wilt sacrifice them for these to eat From thy fornication is it small? ²¹ And thou wilt slaughter my sons and give them in causing them to pass through for them. ²² And with all thine abominations and thy fornications thou didst not remember the days of thy youth, in thy being naked and nakedness, and thou wert trod under foot in thy blood.

⁴ From the multitude of the fornications of the fair harlot, the beauty of the mistress of sorceries, selling the nations by her fornication, and families by her sorceries ⁵ Behold me against thee, says Jehovah of armies; and I uncovered thy skirts upon thy face, and I caused nations to see thy nakedness, and kingdoms thy shame. ⁶ And I cast abominable things upon thee, and I disgraced thee, and I set thee as a sight

³ Whose outside let it not be of the interweaving of hairs, and of putting round of gold, or of putting on of garments, the arrangement; ⁴ But the hidden man of the heart, in the uncorruptedness of a mild and quiet spirit, which is before God of great price.

²² And that of the true proverb has happened to them, The dog having turned back to his own vomit; and the sow having been washed to the rolling of the mire.

¹⁷ Thou heardest the desire of the poor, O Jehovah: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to attend.

⁴ I asked one from Jehovah, I will seek it; I sat in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to look upon the sweetness of Jehovah, and to inquire in his temple.

⁴ And delight thyself upon Jehovah, and he shall give to thee the petitions of thy heart

⁷ And now, what waited I for, O Jehovah? my hope it is to thee. ⁸ Deliver me from all my transgression: thou wilt not set me a reproach of the foolish one.

⁵ Would that my ways were directed to watch thy laws!

¹⁰ With all my heart I sought thee, thou wilt not cause me to wander from thy commands.

⁷ In the death of an unjust man expectation shall perish: and the hope of the vain shall perish.

⁹ My soul desired thee in the night; also my spirit in the midst of me I will seek thee: for when thy judgments to the earth, those dwelling in the habitable globe will learn justice.

¹⁶ And I withdrew not from following after thee; I desired not man's day, thou knewest: the going forth of my lips was straight before thee.

⁶ Happy they hungering and thirsting for Justice: for they shall be filled.

²⁷ But a certain terrible expectation of judgment and jealousy of fire, being about to devour the adversaries.

¹⁰ Giving, thou shalt give to him, and thy heart shall not be evil in thy giving to him; for because of this word Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thy works, and in all the sending forth of thy hand.

⁹ He scattered, he gave to the needy; his justice stands forever; his horn shall be exalted in glory.

¹⁸ The unjust one did a work of falsehood: and the seed of justice the reward of truth.

¹⁷ He pitying the poor lends to Jehovah, and he will recompense to him his act.

⁸ He increasing by interest and usury, he shall gather it for him compassionating the poor.

¹ Send forth thy bread upon the face of the waters, for in a multitude of days thou shalt find it ² Thou shalt give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou shalt not know what shall be evil upon the earth.

⁶ In the morning sow thy seed, and at evening thou shalt not let thy hand rest: for thou shalt not know whether this shall be right, this or that, or if they two as one being good.

⁹ Looking for much, and behold, to little; and ye brought to the house and I blew upon it For what? says Jehovah of armies. Because of mine house that it was laid waste, and ye run each to his house. ¹⁰ For this the heavens over you were shut up from dew, and the earth withheld her produce. ¹¹ And I will call the drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the grain, and upon the new wine and upon the new oil, and upon what the earth shall bring forth, and upon man and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands.

¹⁶ Who were ye coming to the heap of twenty and it was ten? coming to the wine-vat to draw fifty of the wine-press, and there was twenty? ¹⁷ I struck you with blasting and with yellowness and with hail in all the work of your hands; and none with you to me, says Jehovah. ¹⁸ Set now your heart from this day and upward, from the twenty and fourth day to the ninth, from the day that the temple of Jehovah was founded, set ye your heart ¹⁹ Is the seed yet in the storehouse? and even the vine and the fig tree, and the pomegranate and the olive tree bore not: from this day will I praise.

²⁹ And certain of the disciples, as he was able, determined, each of them, to send for service to the brethren dwelling in Judea: ³⁰ Which also they did, having sent to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

⁵ Therefore I thought necessary to beseech the brethren that they go before to you, and prepare beforehand your praise, having been proclaimed beforehand, this same to be prepared, so as praise, and not as covetousness. ⁶ And this, He sowing sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he sowing in praises shall reap also in praises. ⁷ Each as he chooses in the heart; not of grief, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver. ⁸ And God able for all grace to abound in you; having always all sufficiency in everything, ye abound in every good work: ⁹ (As has been written, He scattered; he gave to the poor: his justice remains forever. ¹⁰ And now he furnishing seed to him sowing, and bread for food, furnish and multiply your sowing-season, and increase the fruits of your justice;) ¹¹ Enriched in everything in all simplicity, which works through us gratitude to God.

¹³ The praise of him perishing will come upon me, and I shall cause the heart of the widow to rejoice. ¹⁴ I put on justice and it will clothe me: my judgment as an upper garment and a turban. ¹⁵ Eyes was I to the blind one, and feet to the lame was I. ¹⁶ I was a father to the needy, and the contention I knew not I shall search it out ¹⁷ And I shall break the biter's teeth of the evil one, and I shall cast the prey from his teeth. ¹⁸ And saying, I shall expire with my nest I shall multiply days as the sand.

¹⁶ If I shall withhold from the desire of the poor, and cause the eyes of the widow to fail; ¹⁷ And eating my morsel alone, and the orphan ate not from it; ¹⁸ (For from my youth he grew up to me as a father, and I shall guide her from my mother's womb;) ¹⁹ If I shall see one perishing from not being clothed, and no covering to the needy; ²⁰ If his loins did not praise me, and he will be warmed from the fleece of my sheep

²⁷ He giving to the poor wants not: and he hiding his eyes increased curses.

³⁴ Then shall the king say to them from his right, Come, the praised of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: ³⁵ For I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me to drink: I was a stranger, and ye brought me in:

⁶ And this, He sowing sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he sowing in praises shall reap also in praises. ⁷ Each as he chooses in the heart; not of grief, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver. ⁸ And God able for all grace to abound in you; having always all sufficiency in everything, ye abound in every good work: ⁹ (As has been written, He scattered; he gave to the poor: his justice remains forever.

⁶ And Joseph, he the ruler over the land, and he selling grain to all the people of the earth; and Joseph's brethren will come, and will worship before him the face to the earth.

²⁴ He saying to the unjust, Thou art just; peoples shall curse him, and nations shall curse him:

⁴ Hear this, ye, panting after the needy, to cause the humble of the, land to cease.

¹⁰ And they will hang Haman upon the tree that he preps for Mordecai. And the wrath of the king subsided.

² In the pride of the unjust he will burn the poor: they shall be taken in the devices that they purposed.

⁶ They prepared a net for my steps; my soul was bent down: they dug a pit before me, they fell into the midst of it. Silence.

¹¹ An evil one will seek only contradiction.: and a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

²⁴ If I set gold my hope, and said to gold, My trust; ²⁵ If I shall rejoice because of the Multitude of my riches, and because my hand found much;

³ And he was as a tree planted by the streams of water which will give its fruit in its time; his leaf shall not fall away, and all which he shall do shall be prospered.

⁶ They trusting upon their wealth, and they will glory in the multitude of their riches.

⁷ Behold, the man will not set God his strength, and he will trust in the multitude of his riches he will be strengthened in his mischief. ⁸ And I am as a green olive tree in the house of God: I trusted in the mercy of God forever and ever.

¹⁰ Ye shall not trust in oppression, ye shall not become vain in plunder: if wealth shall increase ye shall not set the heart

¹² The just one shall flourish as the palm tree: he shall become great as the cedar in Lebanon. ¹³ Those being planted in the house of Jehovah, shall flourish in the enclosures of our God. ¹⁴ They shall yet sprout in old as; they shall be fat and green.

¹⁵ The wealth of the rich his strong city: the destruction of the poor their poverty.

²¹ And thy people all of them just: forever shall they inherit the land, watching his planting, the work of my hand for glory.

⁸ And he was as a tree planted by the waters, and it shall spread out its roots by the river, and it shall not see when heat shall come, and its leaf was green; and it shall not be afraid in the year of restraint, and it shall not withdraw from making fruit.

²⁴ And his disciples were amazed at his words. And Jesus again having answered, says to them, How difficult, children, is it for those trusting in property to enter into the kingdom of God! ²⁵ It is easier labor for a camel to come through the hole of a needle, than for a rich one to come into the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ To the rich now in this life, proclaim not to be highminded, nor to be hoping upon the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, offering us all things richly for profit;

³⁰ And Jacob will say to Simeon and to Levi, Ye troubled me to make me evil to him dwelling in the land to the Canaanites, and to the Perizzites and I men of number, and they will gather together and smite me, and I all be destroyed, and my house.

²⁴ And Joshua will take Achan, the son of Zerah, and the silver and the wide cloak, and the tongue of gold, and his sons and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep and his tent, and all which is to him, and all Israel with him, and they will bring them up to the valley of Achor. ²⁵ And Joshua will say, Why didst thou trouble us?

¹⁷ And now know and see what thou wilt do; for evil was finished against our lord and upon all his house: and he a son of Belial, from speaking to him.

³⁸ And it will be about ten days, and Jehovah will strike Nabal, and he will die.

¹⁹ The evil bowed before the good, and the unjust at the gates of the just one.

¹⁶ And also this an evil making sick, wholly as he came so shall he go: and what to him he shall labor for the wind?

⁷ For they shall sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: no stalk to it: the sprout shall not make flour: perhaps it will make, strangers will swallow it down.

⁹ Wo! to him plundering an evil plunder to his house, to set his nest on high, to deliver from the hand of evil. ¹⁰ Thou wilt counsel shame to thy house, cutting off many peoples, and causing thy soul to sin.

³⁶ And he reaping receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life: that he sowing might rejoice together and he reaping.

¹⁹ For being free from all, I have subjected myself to all, that I might gain the more. ²⁰ And I was to the Jews as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews: to them under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them under the law; ²¹ To the lawless, as lawless, (not being lawless to God, but subject to the law to Christ,) that I might gain the lawless, ²² I became to the weak as weak, that I might gain the weak: I have been all things to all, that altogether I might save some. ²³ And this. I do on account of the good news, that I might become a partaker of it.

¹⁹ For what our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? Are not also ye before our Lord Jesus Christ in his arrival?

²⁰ Let him know, that he having turned the sinful from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.

¹⁴ I will be to him for father, and he shall be to me for son; who in his sinning I struck him with the rod of men, and with the blows of the sons of men. ¹⁵ And my mercy I will not remove from him as I removed from Saul whom I removed from thy face.

⁹ Wherefore didst thou despise the word of Jehovah to do evil in his eyes? Uriah the Hittite thou didst strike with the sword, and his wife thou tookest to thee for a wife, and thou didst kill him with the sword of the sons of Ammon. ¹⁰ And now the sword shall not depart from thy house even to forever; because that thou didst despise me, and thou wilt take the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be to thee for wife. ¹¹ Thus said Jehovah, Behold me raising up evil against thee from thy house, and I took thy wives before thine eyes and gave to thy neighbor, and he lay with thy wives before the eyes of this sun. ¹² For thou didst in secret: and I will do this word before all Israel, and before the sun.

³⁰ For this many among you weak and sick, and enough are asleep. ³¹ For if we examined ourselves, we should not be judged. ³² And being judged, we are corrected of the Lord, lest we be condemned with the world.

¹⁷ For the time for judgment to have begun from the house of God: and if first from us, what the end of them not believing the good tidings of God? ¹⁸ And if the just one with difficulty be saved, where shall the irreligious and sinful appear
