²⁰ For if having escaped the pollutions of the world by the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and again entangling with these, they be conquered, the last things have been to them worse than the first. ²¹ For it was better for them not to have known the way of justice, than, having known, to turn back from the holy command delivererd to them. 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.

²⁶ Make level the track of thy feet, and all thy ways shall be prepared.

⁸ The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: and the folly of the foolish is deceit

³ The crafty saw evil, and he will hide, and the simple passed on and were punished.

¹² The prudent one saw the evil, he hid himself; the simple passed and were punished.

¹³ For this the prudent one shall be silent in that time, for it is an evil time.

⁷ Who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paul, an intelligent man; he having called Barnabas and Saul, sought anxiously to hear the word of God.

¹⁸ For such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by specious language and praise completely deceive the hearts of the innocent. ¹⁹ For your obedience has come to all. Therefore I rejoice for you: and I wish you truly to be wise to good, and pure to evil.

¹⁴ That we be no more babes, tossed about, and carried around by every wind of doctrine, in the playing at dice of men, in craft, with the artifice of deceit;

¹ Dearly beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits if they are of God: for many false prophets have come out into the world.

⁹ And Esau will say, There is much to me, my brother; what is to thee shall be to thee.

¹⁸ And Joseph will say to them in the third day, This do ye, and live, I fearing God.

² And Jezebel will send a messenger to Elijah, saying, Thus will God do and thus will he add that according to the time to-morrow I will set thy soul as the soul of one of them.

¹⁰ And Ben-hadad will send to him and say, Thus will the gods do to me, and thus will they add, if the dust of Shomeron shall suffice for handfuls for all the people which are at my feet ¹¹ And the king of Israel will answer and say, Speak ye. He binding shall not boast as he loosening.

¹⁸ And he will say, If for peace they came forth, seize them living; and if for war they came forth, seize them living.

¹⁵ And the former prefects that were before me made heavy upon the people, and they will take from them in bread and wine, the last silver forty shekels; also their young men ruled over the people: and I did not thus from the face of the fear of God.

²¹ If I lifted up my hand against the orphan when I shall see, my help in the gate: ²² My shoulder shall fall from its shoulder-blade, and mine, arm shall be broken from the bone. ²³ For the destruction of God is a terror to me, and from his lifting up I shall not prevail.

¹⁴ Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace and pursue it

¹²⁰ My flesh stood erect from thy fear, and I was afraid of thy judgments.

⁷ Thou shalt not be wise in thine eyes: fear Jehovah and depart from evil.

²² He went after her suddenly as the ox will go to the slaughter, and as the fetter for the correction of the foolish.

⁶ By mercy and truth iniquity shall be expiated: and in the fear of Jehovah a departing from evil.

¹⁴ Happy the man fearing always: and he hardening his heart shall fall into evil

⁹ A wise man contending with a foolish man and raging and laughing, and no rest.

¹³ The beginning of the words of his mouth, folly: and the latter state of his mouth the folly of evil.

¹⁷ For this Herod, having sent, took John, and bound him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife: for he married her. ¹⁸ For John said to Herod, That it is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. ¹⁹ And Herodias had a grudge against him, and desired to kill him; and could not:

²⁴ And she having come out, said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Immerser. ²⁵ And having come quickly with haste to the king, she asked, saying, I wish that thou wouldest give me by itself, upon a board, the head of John the Immerser.

⁴⁰ And they being with him of the Pharisees heard these things, and said to him,

²² Keep away from all appearance of evil.

⁶ And it will be despised in his eyes to stretch forth the hand against Mordecai alone; for they announced to him the people of Mordecai: and Haman will seek to destroy all the Jews which are in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus, the people of Mordecai.

⁵ And the king Ahasuerus will say, and he will say to Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, whom his heart filled him to do thus? ⁶ And Esther will say, The man, the adversary and enemy, this evil Haman., And Haman was terrified from before the king and the queen.

¹⁸ A heart fabricating purposes of iniquity; feet being quick to run to evil,

¹⁶ The foolish one in the day shall make known his anger: but the prudent one covered dishonor.

²⁹ The slow to anger of much understanding: and the short of spirit exalts folly.

¹⁸ A man of wrath will excite strife: and he slow to anger will appease contention.

³² He slow to anger is, good above the strong; and, he ruling over his spirit above him taking a city,

²⁴ Thou shalt not be companion of the possessor of anger, and with the man of wrath thou shalt not go:

²² A man of anger will excite strife, and the possessor of wrath increased transgression.

⁹ Thou shalt not be hastened in thy spirit to be angry, for anger shall rest in the bosom of fools.

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.

²⁶ for evil ones were found among my people: he will look about as the stooping of fowlers; they set snares, they will take men. ²⁷ As a cane full of birds, so their houses full of deceit: for this they were magnified and they will be rich. ²⁸ They became fat, they shone: they passed over words of evil: they judged not judgment, the judgment of the orphan, and they will give success; and the judgment of the needy they judged not. ²⁹ For these things shall I not review? says Jehovah: or shall not my soul be avenged upon a nation such as this?

¹⁹ Wherefore, my dearly beloved brethren, let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger:

³⁵ The wise shall inherit glory, and the foolish exalt dishonor.

⁷ Wisdom the beginning; obtain wisdom, and with all thine acquisition, obtain understanding. ⁸ Lift her up and she shall exalt thee: she will honor thee when thou. shalt embrace her. ⁹ She will give to thy head a garland of grace: a crown of glory she will deliver thee.

²⁹ He troubling his house shall inherit wind: and the foolish is servant to the wise of heart ³⁰ The fruit of the just a tree of life; and he taking souls is wise.

¹⁹ O Jehovah, my strength and my fortress, and my refuge in days of straits, to thee shall the nations come from the ends of the earth, and they shall say, Surely our fathers inherited falsehood, vanity, and no receiving profit in them.

¹⁷ But doing, we will do all the word which went forth from our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the heavens, to pour out libations to her, as we did, we and our fathers, our kings and our chiefs in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: and we shall be filled with bread, and we shall be well, and see not evil.

³ And those understanding shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and those justifying many, as the stars forever and ever.

²⁹ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and deck the monuments of the just, ³⁰ And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we had not been their partakers in the blood of the prophets, ³¹ Wherefore ye bear testimony to yourselves, that ye are the sons of those having slain the prophets. ³² And fill ye up yourselves the measure of your fathers.

⁸ As to the rest, the crown of justice is laid up for me, which the Lord will assign to me in that day, the just judge: and not only to me, but also to all them having loved his appearance.

¹⁸ Knowing that not with corruptible things, silver and gold, were ye redeemed from your vain mode of life transmitted from your fathers

⁴ And the chief Shepherd having been manifested, ye shall be attired with an unfading crown of glory.

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.

²⁸ And they will say, Peace to thy servant to our father, he is yet living: and they will bow down and worship.

⁸ And Pharaoh will call to Moses and to Aaron, and will say, Pray to Jehovah, and he will remove the frogs from me and from my people: and I will send forth the people and they shall sacrifice to Jehovah.

²⁷ And Pharaoh will send and call for Moses and for Aaron, and will say to them, I sinned this time: Jehovah is just, and I and my people unjust ²⁸ Pray ye to Jehovah and much, from there being voices of God and hail; and I will send you forth, and ye shall not add to stand.

⁸ And all these thy servants shall come down to me, and worship to me, saying, Go forth, thou, and all the people which are at thy feet: and after this I will go forth. And he will go forth from Pharaoh in the heat of anger.

³⁶ And it was all being left in thy house shall go to worship to him for a piece of silver and a round of bread; and he said, Add me to one of the priesthoods to eat a morsel of bread.

¹² And Jehoshaphat will say the word of Jehovah is with him, and the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom will come down to him

⁷ And the king rose up in his wrath from the drinking of wine, to the garden of the palace: and Haman stood up to seek out for his soul from Esther the queen; for he saw that evil was completed for him from the king. ⁸ And the king turned back from the garden of the palace to the house of the drinking of wine; and Haman fell upon the bed which Esther was upon And the king will say, Also is he to force the queen with me in the house? The word went forth from the king's mouth, and they covered Haman's face.

¹⁴ As sheep they were laid in hades; death shall rule over them, and the upright shall come down upon them in the morning; and their rock for falling away in hades from a dwelling to him.

²⁹ He troubling his house shall inherit wind: and the foolish is servant to the wise of heart

¹⁴ And sons humbling thee came bowing down to thee: and all they despising thee worshiped at the soles of thy feet; and they called thee, The city of Jehovah, Zion, the Holy One of Israel

⁹ The anger of Jehovah I will bear, for I sinned against him till he shall maintain my contention, and do my judgment: he will bring me forth to the light, I shall look upon his justice. ¹⁰ And mine enemy shall see, and shame shall cover her saying to me, Where Jehovah thy God? Mine eyes shall look upon her: now shall she be for treading down as the mire of the streets.

¹⁶ The nations shall see and be ashamed from all their strength: they shall put the hand upon the mouth, their ears shall be deaf. ¹⁷ They shall lick the dust as the serpent, as crawlers of the earth they shall move out of their close places: for Jehovah our God they shall tremble and they shall fear from thee

³ And ye tread down the unjust; for they were ashes under the soles of your feet in the day which I doing, said Jehovah of armies.

³⁹ And having come they besought them, and having brought out, they entreated to come out of the city.

⁹ Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of them saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but they lie; behold, I will make them that they come and worship before thy feet, and they should know that I have loved thee.

² And all the king's servants which were in the king's gate were bowing and worshiping to Haman; for thus the king commanded for him. And Mordecai will not bow, and he will not worship.

¹⁰ And Haman will contain himself, and will go in to his house; and he will send and cause his friends to come, and Zeresh his wife. ¹¹ And Haman will recount to them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his sons, and all how the king magnified him, and how he lifted him up over the chiefs and servants of the king.

²¹ For now ye were not: ye shall see the terror and be afraid. ²² For did I say, Give to me? and from your strength make ye a present for me? ²³ And deliver me from the hand of the enemy? and from the hand of the strong ye shall redeem me?

¹³ He removed my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance truly turned aside from me. ¹⁴ My kindred ceased, and they acquainted with me forgot me.

¹⁰ They abhorred me, they removed far from me, and withheld not spittle from my face.

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

⁴ Wealth will add many friends; and the poor one will be separated from his neighbor.

⁶ Many will wait for the face of the prince, and every one the friend to the man giving. ⁷ All the brethren of the poor hated him: how much more his friends removed far from him? pursuing words they are not

¹³ If I shall despise the judgment of my servant and my maid in their contending with me; ¹⁴ And what shall I do when God shall rise up? And when he shall review, what shall I turn back to him? ¹⁵ Did not he making me in the womb, make him? And he will prepare us in one belly.

⁵ Look upon the heavens and see; behold the clouds, they were high above thee. ⁶ If thou sinnedst, what wilt thou do against him? and thy transgressions were multiplied, what wilt thou do to him?

²⁴ For he despised not and he abhorred not the afflictions of the bumble; and he hid not his face from him, and in his crying to him he heard.

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.

⁵ A good man, being merciful and lending: he will hold up his words in judgment;

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

²⁴ There is scattering and yet adding; and the withholding more than right, only to want ²⁵ The soul of blessing shall be made fat: also he watering, shall himself drink to the full.

³¹ He oppressing the poor reproached him making him: and he honoring him compassionated the needy.

⁵ He mocking to the poor one reproached him making him: and he rejoicing at misfortune shall not be unpunished.

³ In the coming of the unjust also came contempt, and with dishonor, reproach.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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. ⁴¹ Then shall he say to them from the left, Go away from me, the cursed, into eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his messengers: ⁴² For I was hungry, and ye gave me not to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; ⁴³ I was a stranger and ye brought me not in; naked, and ye put not around me; sick, and in prison, and ye took not a view of me. ⁴⁴ Then shall they answer him, they also saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and attended not to thee? ⁴⁵ Then shall he answer them saying, Inasmuch as ye did not to one of the least of these, ye did not to me. ⁴⁶ And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: and the just into eternal life.

³⁰ And to every one asking thee, do thou give; and from him taking away thy things, re-demand not. ³¹ And as ye wish that men would do to you, and do you to them likewise. ³² And if ye love them loving you, what grace is to you? for also the sinful would love those loving them. ³³ And if ye do good to those doing good to you, what grace is to you? for also the sinful do the same. ³⁴ And if ye lend of whom ye hope to receive back, what grace is to you? for also the sinful lend to the sinful, that they might receive back the like things. ³⁵ But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing back; and your reward shall be much, and ye shall be sons of the Highest; for he is kind to the graceless and evil. ³⁶ Be ye therefore compassionate, as also your Father is compassionate.

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

³⁵ I shewed you all things, that so being wearied ye must support the weak, and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that himself said, It is happy to give rather than receive.

¹² That ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them inheriting the promises by faith and longsnffering.

⁵ Hear, my dearly beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the beggars of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them loving him? ⁶ And ye have despised the beggar. Do not the rich bring you into subjection, and draw you before tribunals?

¹⁴ And what profit, my brethren, if any say he has faith, and should not have works? can faith save him? ¹⁵ And if a brother or sister be naked, and be failing of daily food, ¹⁶ And any of you say to them, Retire in peace, be ye warmed and be ye fed; and ye give them not things fitting the body; what profit?

¹⁷ And whoever has the life of the world, and sees his brother having need, and should shut up his bowels from him, how remains the love of God in him? ¹⁸ My little children, we should not love in word, neither in tongue; but in work and truth. ¹⁹ And in this we know that we are of the truth, and we will yield our hearts before him. ²⁰ For if our heart condemn us, for God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. ²¹ Dearly beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have freedom of speech towards God. ²² And whatever we ask, we receive of him, for we keep his commands, and do things pleasing before him.

²⁷ And he will say, Praised be Jehovah, God of lord Abraham, who let not go his kindness and his truth from my lord: I in the way, Jehovah led me to the house of my lord's brother.

⁸ And Jehovah will say to David my father, Because it was with thy heart to build a house to my name, thou didst well that it was with thy heart

¹⁰ All the paths of Jehovah are mercy and truth to those watching his covenant and his testimonies.

⁷ He shall dwell before God forever: mercy and truth a portion shall guard him.

²⁹ Thou shalt not fabricate evil upon thy neighbor, and he dwelling confidently with thee.

¹⁷ He reaping anger will do folly: and a man of mischiefs will be hated.

²² The desire of man his mercy: and the poor good above the man of falsehood.

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.

⁷ Happy the compasaionate: for they shall be commiserated.

¹⁷ For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth were by Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ He pinching the eye shall give pain: and the foolish of lips shall fall.

²⁴ The hand of the active shall give dominion: and of the slothful one shall be for tribute.

¹⁹ He working his land shall be filled with bread: and he pursuing the vain shall be filled with poverty.

³ For the dream came in the multitude of labor; and the voice of the foolish one in the multitude of words.

²⁷ Work not for food perishing, but food remaining to eternal life, which the Son of man will give you: for him God the Father sealed.

¹⁰ For also when we were with you, this we proclaimed to you, that if any will not work, neither should he eat. ¹¹ For we hear some walking disorderly among you, working nothing, but occupied unprofitably. ¹² And to such we proclaim and beseech by our Lord Jesus Christ, that, with freedom from care working, they should eat their own bread.

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.

¹⁰ For God is not unjust to forget your work and fatigue of love, which ye showed to his name, having served to the holy ones, and serving. ¹¹ And we desire each of you to show the same earnestness to the complete certainty of hope to the end:

¹⁰ For he shall see the wise shall die: together the fool and the stupid one shall perish, and they left their wealth to others. ¹¹ The midst of them their houses forever, their dwellings to generation and generation; they called in their names upon their lands. ¹² And man shall not abide in honor, being like as the beasts they perished. ¹³ This their way folly to them: and those after them will delight in their mouth. Silence.

²² If thou shalt pound the foolish in a mortar in the midst of the grain with a pestle, thou shalt not remove from him his folly.

¹¹ Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and a remainder to those seeing the sun. ¹² For in the shadow, wisdom; in the shadow, silver: and the excellence of knowledge is wisdom shall preserve alive those possessing it

⁶ And the stability of thy times, the strength of salvation, was wisdom and knowledge: the fear of Jehovah this his treasure.

⁹ And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of injustice; that, when ye fail, they might receive you into lasting tents.

¹⁹ A certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, being daily splendidly gladdened: ²⁰ And there was a certain beggar, Lazarus by name, who was cast at his gate, having been wounded, ²¹ And eagerly desirous to be fed from crumbs falling from the rich one's table: but also the dogs, coming, licked off his wounds. ²² And it was, the beggar died, and was carried by messengers into Abraham's bosom: and the rich one died also, and was buried; ²³ And in hades, having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham from far off, and Lazarus in his bosom. ²⁴ And he having called out, said, Father Abraham, pity me, and send Lazarus, that he might dip his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. ²⁵ But Abraham said, Child, remember that thou didst receive thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus likewise evil things: and now here is he comforted, and thou art tormented.

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

²¹ Testifying to both Jews, and Greeks, repentance towards God, and the faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁶ Wherefore I testify to you in this day, that I pure from the blood of all. ²⁷ For I concealed not to announce to you all the counsel of God.

¹⁶ But arise, and stand upon thy feet: for, for this was I sent to thee, to take thee in hand, a servant and witness both of what things thou sawest, and of what I shall be seen to thee; ¹⁷ Taking thee away from people, and nations, to whom I now send thee. ¹⁸ To open their eyes, to turn them back from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, fur them to receive remission of sins, and inheritance with the consecrated by faith in me. ¹⁹ Wherefore, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision: ²⁰ But to them in Damascus first, and Jerusalem, and all the country of Judea, and to the nations, announcing to change the mind, and to turn back to God, doing works worthy of change of mind.

¹ And the Spirit says expressly, that in later times some shall be removed from the faith, holding to deceitful spirits, and doctrines of evil spirits; ² In the hypocrisy of speaking falsely; burned with a hot iron in their own consciousness; ³ Hindering to marry, to keep from victuals which God created for participation, with thanks, for the faithful and them knowing the truth.

³ Knowing this first, that in the last of the days shall mockers come for deceiving, going according to their own eager desires,

⁴² If the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaak was not with me, then now, empty thou hadst sent me away. My affliction and the labor of my hand God saw and he rebuked yesterday.

⁷ Behold, the messenger of Jehovah surrounding to those fearing him, and he will deliver them. ⁸ Taste ye and see that Jehovah is good: happy the man who shall put his trust in him. ⁹ Fear Jehovah, ye his holy ones; for no want to those fearing him. ¹⁰ The young lions suffered want and were hungry: and they seeking Jehovah shall not want any good. ¹¹ Come, ye sons, hear to me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.

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.

¹³ He will bless those fearing Jehovah, the small with the great ¹⁴ Jehovah will add to you, to you and to your sons.

⁷ Thou shalt not be wise in thine eyes: fear Jehovah and depart from evil. ⁸ It shall be healing to thy sinews, and moistening to thy bones.

²⁵ Thou shalt not be afraid from sudden terror, and from the destruction of the unjust when it shall come. ²⁶ For Jehovah shall be in thy confidence, and he watched thy foot from being taken.

¹⁰ The name of Jehovah a tower of strength: into it the just one shall run and be exalted.

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

¹⁸ Good that thou shalt hold fast upon this; also from this thou shalt not lead away thy hand: for he fearing God shall come forth with all of them.

²⁰ Go, my people, enter into thy apartments and shut thy doors about thee: hide thee as a little moment till the wrath shall pass by. ²¹ For behold, Jehovah will come forth out of his place to review the iniquity of him dwelling in the earth upon him; and the earth uncovered her bloods, and she will no more cover over her slain.

¹¹ Jehovah said, If to do well to thy remnant; if not, I caused the enemy in the time of evil and in time of straits to supplicate to thee.

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. ⁴⁰ And I cut out to them an eternal covenant that I will not turn back from after them, to do them good; and I will give my fear in their heart not to turn away from me.

¹⁶ Then they fearing Jehovah spake each to his neighbor, and Jehovah will attend and will hear, and write a book of remembrance before him for those fearing Jehovah, and for thinking upon his name. ¹⁷ And they were to me, said Jehovah of armies, for the day which I make wealth; and I spared for them as a man will spare for the son serving him. ¹⁸ And ye turned back and saw between the just to the unjust, and between him serving God and to him serving him not

² And to you fearing my name the sun of justice arose, and healing in his wings; and ye went forth and spread as calves of the stall.

⁵ The pains of hades surrounded me: the snares of death anticipated me.

¹⁰ For wisdom shall come into thy heart, and knowledge shall be pleasant to thy soul. ¹¹ Meditation shall watch over thee, understanding shall guard thee: ¹² To deliver thee from the evil way, from the man speaking deceit; ¹³ Those forsaking the paths of straightness to go in the ways of darkness; ¹⁴ Those rejoicing to do evil will exult in the deceit of evil; ¹⁵ Whose paths are perverted, and in their tracks are bent aside: ¹⁶ To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger making smooth her sayings; ¹⁷ Forsaking the friend of her youth, and forgetting the covenant of her God. ¹⁸ For her house sunk down to death, and her tracks to the shades.

¹⁴ The law of the wise one a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

⁵ Thorns, snares, in the way of the perverse one: he watching his soul shall be far from them.

²⁶ And I find bitter above death the woman that her heart it is snares and nets, her hands are bonds: the good one before God shall escape from her, and he sinning shall be taken by her.

⁶ And he said to me, It has been. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him thirsting of the fountain of the water of life gratuitously.

¹² And as they will afflict them, so they will multiply and will increase. And they will feel disgust from the face of the sons of Israel.

²² And Pharaoh will command to all the people, saying, Every son being brought forth ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall preserve alive.

²⁰ Judah and Israel many as the sand which is by the sea for multitude, eating and drinking and rejoicing. ²¹ And Solomon was ruling over all kingdoms from the river to the land of the rovers, and even to the bound of Egypt: they were bringing a gift and serving Solomon all the days of his life.

²⁷ And the sons of Israel were reviewed, and were nourished, and they will go up to their meeting: and the sons of Israel will encamp over against them as two flocks of she goats; and Aram filled the land.

³² In those days Jehovah began to out off in Israel, and Hazael will strike them in all the bound of Israel; ³³ From Jordan from the rising of the sun, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer which upon the torrent Arnon, and Gilead and shan.

⁷ For he left not to Jehoahaz of the people but fifty horsemen and ten chariots and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Aram destroyed them, and he will set them as dust to trample upon.

³ And the man Moses greatly humble, more than all the men upon the face of the earth.

⁸ Lift her up and she shall exalt thee: she will honor thee when thou. shalt embrace her.

¹¹ The understanding of man will defer his anger: and his glory to pass over transgression.

²⁴ Thou shalt not be companion of the possessor of anger, and with the man of wrath thou shalt not go: ²⁵ Lest thou shalt learn his ways and take a snare to thy soul.

⁸ Thou shalt not go forth hastily to strive, lest what thou shalt do in its latter state in thy neighbor putting thee to shame.

²⁸ A city being broken down, and not a wall, a man who restrains not to his spirit.

⁶ Folly was given to great heights, and the rich were set in lowness.

¹⁹ In that time Nebuchadnezzar being filled with wrath, and the form of the visage was changed to him against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego: he answered and said to heat to the furnace one seven times above that it was seen to be heated. ²⁰ To the strong, the strong of strength that were in his army, he said to bind to Shadrach, Mesbach, and Abed-Nego, to cast into the furnace of flaming fire. ²¹ Then these men were bound in their wide trowsers, their tunics, and their mantles, and their clothing, and were cast into the midst of the furnace of flaming fire. ²² For this cause, as the word of the king being severe, and the furnace exceedingly heated, these men that took up to Shadrach, Meshach, and AbedNego, the flame of fire killed them. ²³ And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, fell into the midst of the furnace of flaming fire, bound. ²⁴ { At that time Nebuchadnezzar the king was grieved, and rose up in haste; he answered and said to the counselors, Did we not cast three men into the midst of the fire, bound? They answering and saying to the king, True, O king.} ²⁵ { He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose going about in the midst of the fire, and there is no hurt in them: and the aspect of the fourth like to the Son of God.}

¹⁶ Then Herod, seeing he was deluded by the magi, was very angry, and having sent, destroyed all the children which in Bethlehem, and in all its bounds, from two years and under, according to the time he examined thoroughly of the magi.

²⁹ Lift up my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and humble in heart; and ye shall find rest to your souls.

⁴ Love is slow to anger, possesses kindness; love envies not; love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up, ⁵ It demeans itself not unbecomingly, seeks not the things of itself, is not irritated, reckons no evil;

¹⁷ And the wisdom from above is truly first pure, then peaceful, decorous, docile, full of mercy and good fruits, not separated, and unfeigned. ¹⁸ And the fruit of justice is sown in peace by those making peace.

² For to the foolish, and anger will slay, and the simple will jealousy kill.

¹⁰ The unjust one shall see and be angry; shall gnash his teeth and he melted away: the desire of the unjust shall perish.

⁸⁰ My heart shall be blameless in thy laws, so that I shall not be ashamed.

⁸ It shall be healing to thy sinews, and moistening to thy bones.

²³ Guard thy heart with all watching, for from it the goings forth of life.

⁴ A woman of strength is a crown to her husband: and she causing shame, as rottenness in his bones.

²² A joyful heart shall make good healing: and a dejected spirit shall dry up the bones.

⁹ And the patriarchs having been jealous, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,

²⁹ Having been filled with all injustice, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, badness; full of envy, slaughter, strife, deceit, malignity,

⁷ For God gave not to us the spirit of timidity; but of power, and love, and of soundness of mind.

⁵ Or think ye that the writing says vainly, That the spirit longs for envy, which dwelt in us?

¹³ If I shall despise the judgment of my servant and my maid in their contending with me; ¹⁴ And what shall I do when God shall rise up? And when he shall review, what shall I turn back to him? ¹⁵ Did not he making me in the womb, make him? And he will prepare us in one belly. ¹⁶ If I shall withhold from the desire of the poor, and cause the eyes of the widow to fail;

⁵ From the oppression of the poor, from the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, Jehovah will say; I will set with salvation, he will puff at him.

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

² The rich and poor one met together: Jehovah made them all.

¹⁶ He oppressing the poor one to increase for himself, he gave to the rich; also to want

²² Thou shalt not strip the poor because he is poor: and thou shalt not crush the humble in the gate. ²³ For Jehovah will contend their contention, and rob the soul to those robbing them.

⁸ If thou shalt see the oppression of the poor one, and the spoiling of judgment and justice in a province, thou shalt not wonder at the inclination: for the high one above the high one is watching, and the high ones over them.

⁸ For the poor have ye always with you;and me ye have not always.

⁷ But as ye abound in everything, in faith, and in word, and in knowledge, and in all care, and in love from you to us, that also ye abound in this grace. ⁸ I speak not according to command, but by care of others, trying also the purity of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for you he was in a state of beggary, being rich; that ye in his poverty might be rich.

¹⁷ And whoever has the life of the world, and sees his brother having need, and should shut up his bowels from him, how remains the love of God in him? ¹⁸ My little children, we should not love in word, neither in tongue; but in work and truth. ¹⁹ And in this we know that we are of the truth, and we will yield our hearts before him. ²⁰ For if our heart condemn us, for God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. ²¹ Dearly beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have freedom of speech towards God.

²¹ And this command have we from him, That he loving God love his brother also.

¹⁸ I waited for thy deliverance, Jehovah.

¹⁵ If he shall slay me shall I not hope? only I will prove my ways to his face.

¹⁸ They shall drive him out of light into darkness, and they shall exclude him from the habitable globe.

²⁵ And I knew he redeeming me lived, and at last he shall rise up upon the dust: ²⁶ And after they destroyed my skin, this, and from my flesh I shall see God: ²⁷ Which I shall see for myself, and mine eyes beheld, and not a stranger: my reins were finished in my bosom.

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.

¹¹ Thou wilt cause me to know the way of life: abundance of joys with thy face; favors in thy right hand forever.

¹⁵ I in justice shall see thy face: I shall be satisfied in awaking with thine appearance.

⁴ Also if I shall go into the valley of the shadow of death, I shall not be afraid of evil, for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they will comfort me.

³⁷ Watch the blameless, and see the upright one, for the latter state to the man peace.

⁹ Before your pots shall perceive the thorn, as living, as in wrath, he will sweep him away.

¹⁵ For this, his destruction shall come suddenly; in a moment he shall be broken, and none healing.

¹⁶ For the just one shall fall seven times, and rise: and the unjust shall be weak in evil

²⁶ This the interpretation of the word: Mene; God numbered thy kingdom and completed it. ²⁷ Tekel; Thou shalt be weighed in the balances and be found wanting. ²⁸ Pharsin; Thy kingdom was divided, and it shall be given to the Medes and to Persia. ²⁹ At that time Belshazzar said, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and a necklace of gold upon his neck, and they cried out concerning him, for him to rule the third in the kingdom. ³⁰ In that night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans was killed.

²⁹ Now Lord, thou wilt loose thy servant, according to thy word, in peace :

²¹ Then said Jesus again to them, I retire, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: where I retire, ye cannot come.

²⁴ I said therefore to you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins.

²² And if God, willing anger to be shown, and his power to be made known, endured in much long suffering the vessels of anger put in proper order for destruction:

⁵⁵ Where thine, death, the sting? where thine, hades, the victory ⁵⁶ And the sting of death sin; and the power of sin the law. ⁵⁷ And grace to God, giving us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁵⁸ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be stable, unmoved, abounding in the work of the Lord always, knowing that our fatigue is not in vain in the Lord.

⁹ And we ourselves have had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have trusted in ourselves, but in God raising the dead:

⁸ And we are confident, and are contented rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home in the Lord.

²¹ For me to live is Christ, and to die gain.

²³ For I am pressed together from two, having one eager desire to be loosed, and be with Christ (rather much better:)

³ For when they say, Peace and security; then sudden ruin is upon them, as anguish in her with child; and they may not escape.

¹⁸ And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and save for his heavenly kingdom: to whom the glory for the times of times. Amen.

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, Write, Happy the dead who dying in the Lord from henceforth: Yes, says the Spirit, that they might cease from their fatigues; and their works follow with them.

²³ A prudent man covered knowledge: and the heart of the foolish will meet folly.

¹⁶ Every prudent one will do in knowledge: and the foolish one will spread folly.

² The tongue of the wise will make knowledge good: and the mouth of the foolish will gush forth folly.

²⁸ The heart of the just one shall meditate to answer: and the mouth of the unjust shall gush out evil.

¹¹ The foolish one will bring forth all his spirit; and the wise one will restrain it back.

³ And also as the foolish one went in the way, his heart was wanting, and he said to all, It is folly.

⁶ And watch and do: for it is your wisdom and your understanding before the eyes of the peoples who shall hear all these laws, and say, Only this great nation a wise and understanding people. ⁷ For what great nation to whom God being near to it as Jehovah our God in all our calling to him? ⁸ And what great nation to whom laws and judgments just, as all the instructions which I give before you this day?

¹ And it being if hearing thou shalt hear to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to watch and to do all his commands that I command thee this day, and Jehovah thy God gave thee high above all the nations of the earth. ² And all these blessings came upon thee and overtook thee, when thou shalt hear to the voice of Jehovah thy God. ³ Blessed thou in the city, blessed thou in the field. ⁴ Blessed the fruit of thy belly, and the fruit of thy land, and the fruit of thy cattle, the offspring of thine oxen and the flocks of thy sheep. ⁵ Blessed thy basket and thy remainders. ⁶ Blessed thou in thy coming in, and blessed thou in thy going out ⁷ Jehovah will give thine enemies rising up against thee smitten before thy face; in one way shall they come forth against thee, and in seven ways shall they flee before thy face. ⁸ Jehovah will command with thee the blessing in thy store-houses, and in all the sending forth of thy hand; and he blessed thee in the land which Jehovah thy God gave to thee. ⁹ Jehovah will raise thee up to him for a holy people, as he sware to thee, when thou shalt watch the commands of Jehovah thy God and go in his ways. ¹⁰ And all the peoples of the earth saw that the name of Jehovah was called upon thee; and they were afraid of thee. ¹¹ And Jehovah made thee to abound for good in the fruit of thy belly, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, upon the land which Jehovah sware to thy fathers to give to thee. ¹² Jehovah will open to thee his good store, the heavens to give the rain of thy land in its time, and to bless all the doing of thy hand: and thou didst lend to many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. ¹³ And Jehovah gave thee for head, and not for tail: and thou wert only for ascending, and thou shalt not be for beneath; when thou shalt hear to the commands of Jehovah thy God that I command thee this day, to watch and to do. ¹⁴ And thou shalt not turn aside from all the words which I command you this day, to the right and to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. ¹⁵ And it being, if thou shalt not hear to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to watch to do all his commands and his laws which I command thee this day; and all these curses came upon thee, and overtook thee: ¹⁶ Cursed thou in the city, and cursed thou in the field. ¹⁷ Cursed thy basket and thy remainders. ¹⁸ Cursed the fruit of thy belly, and the fruit of thy land, the offspring of thine oxen, and the flocks of thy sheep. ¹⁹ Cursed thou in thy coming in, and cursed thou in thy going out ²⁰ Jehovah will send upon thee the curse and the consternation, and the rebuke, upon all the sending forth of thy hand which thou shalt do, till he destroyed thee, and till he caused thee to perish quickly: on account of the evil of thy works by which thou forsookest me. ²¹ Jehovah shall cleave upon thee death, till his consuming thee from the land which thou wentest there to possess it ²² Jehovah shall strike thee with consumption, and with burning fever, and with inflammation, and with sword and with burning, and with blasting, and with yellowness: and they shall pursue thee till he have destroyed thee. ²³ And the heavens which over thy head were brass, and the earth which is under thee, iron. ²⁴ Jehovah will give the rain of thy land dust and clay: from the heavens shall it come down upon thee, till he destroyed thee. ²⁵ And Jehovah will give thee smitten before thine enemies: in one way thou shalt go forth against him, and in seven ways shalt thou flee before his face; and thou wert for a shaking to all the kingdoms of the earth. ²⁶ And thy carcass was for food to all the birds of the heavens and to the cattle of the earth, and none terrifying. ²⁷ Jehovah shall strike thee with the burning sore of Egypt, and with tumors, and with scratching, and with the itch of which thou shalt not be able to be healed. ²⁸ Jehovah will strike thee with madness and with blindness and with astonishment of heart; ²⁹ And thou wert groping at noon as the blind shall grope in darkness, and thou shalt not succeed with thy ways: and thou wert only oppressed and stripped all the days, and none saving. ³⁰ Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build a house and shall not dwell in it; thou shalt plant a vineyard and thou shalt not lay it open. ³¹ Thine ox slaughtered before thine eyes and thou shalt not eat from it: thine ass stripped from before thee and shall not turn back to thee; thy sheep, given to thine enemies, and none to thee saving. ³² Thy sons and thy daughters given to another people, and thine eyes seeing and failing for them all the day: and nothing for the strength of thy hand. ³³ The fruit of thy land and all thy labors, a people which thou knewest not shall eat: and thou wert only oppressed and broken all the days. ³⁴ And thou wert mad from the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. ³⁵ Jehovah shall strike thee with an evil burning sore upon thy knees and upon thy legs, which thou shalt not be able to heal from the sole of thy foot to thy crown. ³⁶ Jehovah shall lead thee, and thy king which thou shalt set up over thee, to a nation which thou knewest not thou and thy fathers; and thou servedst there other gods, wood and stone. ³⁷ And thou wert for an astonishment, for a parable, for a sharp saying in all the peoples where Jehovah shall lead thee there. ³⁸ Thou shalt bring out much seed to thy field, and shalt gather little, for the locust shall devour it ³⁹ Thou shalt plant vineyards and thou shalt work; and thou shalt not drink the wine, and thou shalt not gather, for the worm shall eat it ⁴⁰ Olive trees shall be to thee in all thy boundaries, and thou shalt not be anointed with oil, for thine olive shall slip away. ⁴¹ And thou shalt beget sons and daughters, and they shall not be to thee, for they shall go into captivity. ⁴² All thy wood and the fruit of thy land shall the grasshopper seize. ⁴³ The stranger which is in the midst of thee shall go up above thee, going up, going up; and thou shalt go down beneath, beneath. ⁴⁴ He shall lend to thee and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be for head, and thou shalt be for tail. ⁴⁵ And all these curses came upon thee and pursued thee and overtook thee, till he destroyed thee; for thou heardst not to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to watch his commands and his laws which he commanded thee. ⁴⁶ And they were upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed even to forever. ⁴⁷ Because that thou servedst not Jehovah thy God injoy and in a good heart for the multitude of all things. ⁴⁸ And thou servedst thine enemies which Jehovah shall send forth against thee in hunger and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things and he gave a yoke of iron upon thy neck till his destroying thee. ⁴⁹ Jehovah shall raise up against thee a nation from far off, from the extremity of the earth, as the eagle shall fly, whose tongue thou shalt not hear; ⁵⁰ A nation strong of face who shall not lift up the face to the old man, and shall not compassionate the young. ⁵¹ And it shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land till he destroyed thee: which shall not leave to thee grain, new wine or new oil, the offspring of thine oxen and the flocks of thy sheep, till his destroying thee. ⁵² And he passed upon thee in all thy gates until the coming down of thy high and inaccessible fortresses which thou trustest in them in all thy land: and he passed upon thee in all thy gates in all thy land which Jehovah thy God gave to thee. ⁵³ And thou atest the fruit of thy belly, the flesh of thy sons and thy daughters, which Jehovah thy God gave to thee, in the distress and in the straitness which thine enemy shall press upon thee: ⁵⁴ The man tender in thee, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil upon his brother, and upon the wife of his bosom, and upon the remainder of his sons which he shall leave: ⁵⁵ The gift to one of them of the flesh of his sons which he shall eat from: nothing remaining to him of all things in the distress and in the straitness which his enemy shall press upon thee in all thy gates. ⁵⁶ She tender and delicate in thee, who tried not to set the sole of her foot upon the earth from delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil upon the husband of her bosom, and upon her son, and upon her daughter, ⁵⁷ And upon her afterbirth coming forth from between her feet, and upon her sons which she shall bear: for she will eat them in want of all things, in secret, in the distress and in the straitness which thine enemy shall press upon thee in thy gates. ⁵⁸ If thou shalt not watch to do all the words of this law being written in this book, to fear this honored and fearful name JEHOVAH THY GOD; ⁵⁹ And Jehovah made thy smiting wonderful, and the smitings of thy seed, great and lasting blows, and evil and lasting diseases. ⁶⁰ And he turned back upon thee all the sicknesses of Egypt, of which thou west afraid from their face, and they did cleave to thee. ⁶¹ Also every disease and every blow which is not written in the book of this law, Jehovah will bring them up upon thee, till he destroyed thee. ⁶² And ye were left few in extension, instead of which ye were as the stars of the heavens for multitude, because thou heardst not to the voice of Jehovah thy God. ⁶³ And it being as Jehovah rejoiced over you to do you good and to multiply you, so Jehovah shall rejoice over you to destroy you and to cut you off; and ye were torn away from the land which thou wentest in there to possess it. ⁶⁴ And Jehovah scattered thee among all peoples from the end of the earth even to the end of the earth; and thou servedst there other gods which thou knewest not, thou and thy fathers, wood and stone. ⁶⁵ And among these nations thou shalt not rest, and there shall not be rest to the sole of thy foot: and Jehovah gave to thee there a trembling heart and a wasting away of the eyes, and a faintnesss of soul. ⁶⁶ And thy lives were hung before thee; and thou wert afraid night and day, and thou shalt not trust to thy life ⁶⁷ In the morning thou shalt say, Who shall give evening? and in the evening thou shalt say, Who shall give morning? from the feat of thy heart which thou shalt fear, and from the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. ⁶⁸ And Jehovah turned thee back to Egypt in ships, in the way; which I said to thee, Thou shalt not add more to see it: and ye were sold there to thine enemies for servants, and for maids, and none buying

¹⁸ Lest there be among you man or woman, or family or tribe, whom his heart turn this day from Jehovah our God, to go to serve the gods of these nations; lest there be among you a root bearing poverty and wormwood; ¹⁹ And it was in his hearing the words of this oath, and he blessed himself in his heart, saying, Peace shall be to me, if in the hardness of my heart, I shall go to add satiating to thirst: ²⁰ Jehovah shall not be willing to forgive him, for then the anger of Jehovah shall smoke, and his jealousy against that man, and every curse written in this book lay upon him, and Jehovah wiped out his name from under the heavens. ²¹ And Jehovah separated him for evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant written in the book of this law: ²² And said, Another generation of your sons who shall rise up from after you, and the foreigner who shall come from a land afar off, and they saw the blows of that land, and the sicknesses which Jehovah made sick in it; ²³ Pitch and burning salt, all its land; it shall not be sown, and it shall not sprout, and no green herb shall come up upon it, as the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which Jehovah overthrew in his anger and in his wrath: ²⁴ And all the nations said, For what did Jehovah thus to this land? what the heat of this great anger? ²⁵ And they said, Because they left the covenant of Jehovah the God of their fathers, which he made with them; in his bringing them forth from the land of Egypt ²⁶ And they will go and serve other gods, and will worship to them gods which they knew them not, and a portion not to them. ²⁷ And the anger of Jehovah will kindle against this land, to bring upon it all the curses written in this book. ²⁸ And Jehovah will tear them up from their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great anger, and will send them to another land as this day.

⁶ And Joshua will send away the people, and the sons of Israel will go a man to his inheritance to inherit the land. ⁷ And the people will serve Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the old men who prolonged the days after Joshua, who saw all the great works of Jehovah which he did to Israel. ⁸ And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, will die, the son of a hundred and ten years. ⁹ And they will bury him in the bound of his inheritance in Timnath-Serah, in mount Ephraim, from the north to the mount of Gaash. ¹⁰ And also all that generation were gathered to its fathers; and another generation will arise after them not knowing Jehovah, and also the works which he did to Israel ¹¹ And the sons of Israel will do evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and will serve the Baalims ¹² And they will forsake Jehovah the God of their fathers bringing them out of the land of Egypt, and go after other gods from the gods of the peoples which are round about them, and they will worship to them and provoke Jehovah. ¹³ And they will forsake Jehovah, and will serve Baal and Ashtaroth. ¹⁴ And the wrath of Jehovah will kindle against Israel, and he will give them into the hand of plunderers, and they will plunder them; and he will sell them into the hand of their enemies from round about, and they will no more be able to stand before the face of their enemies.

³⁴ A land of fruit to saltness, for the evil of those dwelling in it

² Go and call in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus said Jehovah, I remembered for thee the kindness of thy youth, the love of thy completion, thy going after me in the desert in a land not, sown. ³ Israel is holy to Jehovah, the beginning of the produce: all consuming him shall transgress; evil shall come upon them, says Jehovah. ⁴ Hear ye the word of Jehovah, O house of Jacob, and the families of the house of Israel: ⁵ Thus said Jehovah, What iniquity found your fathers in me that they removed far off from me, and went after vanity, and they became vain? ⁶ And they said not, Where is Jehovah bringing us up out of the land of Egypt, causing us to go through the desert into a sterile land and a pit, through a land of drought and the shadow of death, through a land not a man passed through it, and not a man dwelt there? ⁷ And I will bring you to the land of Carmel, to eat its fruit and its goodness; and ye will come and defile my land, and ye set mine inheritance for an abomination. ⁸ The priests said not Where is Jehovah? and they holding the law knew me not: and the shepherds transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and they went After what will not profit ⁹ For this I will even contend, with you, says Jehovah, and with your sons' sons will I contend. ¹⁰ For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send to Kedar, and consider greatly, and see whether there was like this. ¹¹ Did a nation change their gods, and they no gods? and my people changed their glory for what will not profit ¹² Be astonished, ye heavens, at this, and shudder; be ye greatly desolate, says Jehovah. ¹³ For my people did two evils: they forsook me the fountain of living waters, to hew out for them wells, broken wells which will not hold water. ¹⁴ Is Israel a servant? if he was born in the house wherefore was he for plunder? ¹⁵ Upon him the young lions roared, they gave their voice, they will set his land for a desolation: his cities were burned from not being inhabited. ¹⁶ Also the sons of Noph and Tahapanes, they will feed thee upon the crown of the head. ¹⁷ Wilt thou not do this to thyself? thou didst forsake Jehovah thy God in the time of thy being led in the way. ¹⁸ And now what to thee for the way of Egypt, to drink the water of Sihor? and what to thee to the way of Amur, to drink the water of the river? ¹⁹ Thy wickedness shall correct thee, and thy turnings back shall convict thee: and know thou and see that evil and bitter thy forsaking Jehovah thy God, and that my fear was not to thee, says the Lord Jehovah of armies. ²⁰ For from of old I broke thy yoke, I burst thy bonds; and thou wilt say, I will not serve; for upon every high hill and under every green tree thou turnest one side, committing fornication: ²¹ And I planted thee a vine of purple grapes, wholly a true seed: and how didst thou turn to me the removings of a strange vine? ²² For if thou shalt wash thyself with nitre, and thou shalt increase to thee cleansing, thine iniquity was graven before me, says the Lord Jehovah. ²³ How wilt thou say, I was not defiled? I went not after the Baalims? See thy way in the valley, know what thou didst; a young she camel entangling her ways; ²⁴ A wild ass accustomed to the desert in gratifying her soul, panting after the wind in her heat; who shall turn her back? all seeking her will not be wearied; in her new moon they shall find her. ²⁵ Withhold thy foot from being barefoot, and thy throat from thirst: and thou wilt say, Despairing, no; for I loved strangers, and after them will I go.

¹ And the word of Jehovah will be to me, saying, ² Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abomination, ³ And say, Thus said the Lord Jehovah to Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity from the land of the Canaanite; thy father the Amorite, and thy mother a Hittite. ⁴ And thy nativity, in the day thou wert born thy navel was not cut, and thou wert not washed in water for my looking upon; and salting, thou welt not salted, and swathing, thou wert not swathed. ⁵ No eye spared upon thee to do one of these to thee, to pity upon thee; and thou wilt be east to the face of the field in loathing of thy soul in the day of bringing thee forth. ⁶ And I shall pass by thee and see thee being trodden under foot in thy bloods, and saying to thee in thy bloods, Live; and saying to thee in thy bloods, Live. ⁷ I gave thee ten thousand as the sprout of the field, and thou shalt be multiplied and enlarged, and come into ornament of ornaments: the breasts were set, and thy hair sprang up, and thou wert naked and nakedness. ⁸ And I shall pass by thee and see thee, and behold, thy time the time of loves; and I shall spread my wing over thee and cover thy nakedness: and I shall swear to thee, and come into covenant with thee, says the Lord Jehovah, and thou shalt be to me. ⁹ And I will wash thee in water, and I will wash thy bloods from off thee, and I will cover thee with oil. ¹⁰ And I will clothe thee with variegations, and shoe thee with tahash, and I will bind thee round with fine linen, and cover thee with silk. ¹¹ And I shall deck thee with ornaments, and I shall give bracelets upon thy hands and a chain upon thy throat ¹² And I will give a ring upon thy nose, and earrings for thine ears, and a crown of glory upon thy head. ¹³ And thou shalt be decked with gold and silver, and thy clothing fine linen and silk, and variegation; fine flour and honey and oil thou didst eat; and thou wilt be fair, very exceedingly, and thou wilt prosper into a kingdom. ¹⁴ And a name went forth to thee among the nations in thy beauty: for it was perfected by my decoration which I put upon thee, says the Lord Jehovah 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. ²³ And it will be after all thine evil, Wo, wo to thee! says the Lord Jehovah ²⁴ Thou wilt build to thee a brothel, and thou wilt make to thee a height in every street ²⁵ At every head of the way thou didst build thy height, and thou wilt cause thy beauty to be abhorred, and thou wilt open wide thy feet to every one passing by, and thou wilt multiply thy fornication. ²⁶ And thou wilt commit fornication with the sons of Egypt thy neighbors, great of flesh: and thou wilt multiply thy fornications to irritate me. ²⁷ And behold, I stretched forth my hand upon thee, and I will take away thy law, and I will give thee to the soul of those hating thee, the daughters of the rovers, being ashamed of thy way of wickedness. ²⁸ And thou wilt commit fornication with the sons of Assur, from thy not being satisfied; and thou wilt commit fornication with them, and thou wert not satisfied. ²⁹ And thou wilt multiply thy fornination at the land of Canaan with the Chaldeans, and also thou wert not satisfied with this, ³⁰ How thy heart languished, says the Lord Jehovah, in thy doing all these, the work of a woman, an imperious harlot; ³¹ In thy building thy brothel in the head of every way, and thou madest thy height in every street; and thou wert not as a harlot to scorn a gift ³² The wife committing adultery, instead of her husband she will take strangers ³³ To all committing fornication they will give liberal gifts: and thou gavest thy liberal gifts to all loving thee, and thou wilt make them a present to come in to thee from round about in thy fornications ³⁴ And it will be in thee the reverse from women in thy fornications, and none committing fornication after thee: and in thy giving liberal gifts, and none giving liberal gifts to thee; and thou wilt be for the reverse. ³⁵ For this, O harlot, hear the word of Jehovah: ³⁶ Thus said the Lord Jehovah Because thy brass was poured out, and thy nakedness will be uncovered in thy fornications to those loving thee, and to all the blocks of thine abominations, and according to the bloods of thy sons which thou gavest to them; ³⁷ For this, behold me gathering all those loving thee whom thou wert pleasant to them, and all whom thou lovedst, with all whom thou hatedst; and I gathered them against thee from round about, and I uncovered thy nakedness to them, and they saw all thy nakedness ³⁸ And I judged thee with judgments of those committing adultery and pouring out blood; and I gave thee blood of wrath and jealousy. ³⁹ And I gave thee into their hand, and they pulled down thy brothel, and they broke down thy heights, and they stripped thee of thy garments, and they took all thy glory, and they left thee naked and nakedness. ⁴⁰ And they brought up a convocation against thee, and they stoned thee with stone, and they cut thee in pieces with their swords. ⁴¹ And they burnt thy houses with fire, and they did judgments upon thee before the eyes of many women: and I caused thee to cease from a harlot, and also thou shalt no more give hire. ⁴² And I caused my wrath against thee to rest, and my jealousy departed from thee, and I will no more be irritated. ⁴³ Because that thou didst not remember the days of thy youth, and thou wilt disquiet me in all these; and lo, I also gave thy way upon the head, says the Lord Jehovah: and thou didst not do wickedness upon all thine abominations. ⁴⁴ Behold, all using parables will use a parable against thee, saying, As the mother, the daughter. ⁴⁵ Thou thy mother's daughter loathing her husband and her sons; and thou the sister of thy sisters who loathed their husbands and their sons: your mother a Hittite, and your father an Amorite. ⁴⁶ Thine elder sister, Shomeron, she and her daughter dwelling upon thy left hand: and thy sister smaller than thou, dwelling from thy right hand, Sodom and her daughters. ⁴⁷ And thou wentest not in their ways, and thou didst not their abominations: loathing as a little, and thou wilt be corrupted above them in all thy ways. ⁴⁸ I live, says the Lord Jehovah, if Sodom thy sister did, she and her daughters, as thou didst, thou and thy daughters. ⁴⁹ Behold, this was the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, pride, fulness of bread, security of rest was to her and to her daughters, and she strengthened not the hand of the poor and needy. ⁵⁰ And they will be proud, and they will do abomination before me: and I shall take them away according to what I saw. ⁵¹ And Shomeron sinned not according to half thy sins: and thou wilt multiply thine abominations above them, and thou wilt justify thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou didst. ⁵² And thou also bear thy shame, who didst judge for thy sisters in thy sins which thou didst make abominable above them: they shall be justified more than thou: and also thou, be thou ashamed and bear thy shame in thy justifying thy sisters. ⁵³ And I turned back their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Shomeron and her daughters, and the captivity of thy captivities in their midst: ⁵⁴ So that thou shalt bear thy shame, and thou wert made ashamed of all which thou didst in thy comforting them. ⁵⁵ And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall turn back to their beginning, and Shomeron and her daughters shall turn back to their beginning, and thou and thy daughters shall turn back to your beginning. ⁵⁶ And thy sister Sodom was not for a hearing in thy mouth in the day of thy pride. ⁵⁷ Before thine evil shall be uncovered as the time of reproach of the daughters of Aram and all round about her, the daughters of the rovers despising thee from round about ⁵⁸ Thy wickedness and thine abominations, thou didst bear them, says Jehovah. ⁵⁹ For thus said the Lord Jehovah: And doing with thee according as thou didst who despised the oath to break the covenant ⁶⁰ And I remembered my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I set up to thee an eternal covenant ⁶¹ And thou didst remember thy ways, and thou wert ashamed in thy receiving thy sisters great above thee, to the younger than thee: and I gave them to thee for daughters, and not from thy covenant ⁶² And I set up my covenant with thee, and thou knewest that I am Jehovah. ⁶³ So that thou shalt remember, and thou wert ashamed, and there shall no more be to thee an opening of the mouth from the face of thy shame in my expiating for thee for all which thou didst, says the Lord Jehovah.

¹ And the word of Jehovah will be to me, saying, ² Thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the city of bloods, and make her to know all her abominations? ³ And say, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The city poured out blood in the midst of her, for her time to come; and she made blocks for herself to be defiled. ⁴ In thy blood which thou didst pour out thou went guilty; and by thy blocks which thou didst make thou wert defiled; and thou wilt cause thy days to draw near, and thou wilt come even to thy years: for this, I gave thee a reproach to the nations, and a derision to all the lands. ⁵ Those being near and those being far off from thee will scoff at thee; thou wert defiled of name and much in consternation. ⁶ Behold, the princes of Israel they were a man to his arm to pour out;blood in thee. ⁷ They made light of father and mother in thee: they did with violence to the stranger in the midst of thee: they oppresed the orphan and the widow in thee. ⁸ Thou didst despise my holy place, and thou didst profane my Sabbaths ⁹ Men of slander were in thee to pour forth blood: and they ate upon the mountains in thee: they did wickedness in the midst of thee. ¹⁰ Thy father's nakedness was uncovered in thee: they humbled her set apart for uncleanness in thee. ¹¹ And a man did abomination with his neighbor's wife; and a man defiled his daughter-in-law in wickedness; and a man humbled his sister, his father's daughter, in thee. ¹² They took a gift in thee to pour out blood; thou tookest usury and interest, and thou wilt plunder thy neighbors by violence, and thou didst forget me, says the Lord Jehovah. ¹³ And behold, I struck my hand at thy plunder which thou madest, and at thy blood which was in the midst of thee. ¹⁴ Will thy heart stand, or will thine hands be strong for the day which I do with thee? I Jehovah spoke, and I ¹⁵ And I scattered thee in the nations, and I dispersed thee in the lands, and I consumed thy uncleanness out of thee. ¹⁶ And thou didst inherit in thee before the eyes of the nations, and thou knewest that I am Jehovah. ¹⁷ And the word of Jehovah will be to me, saying, ¹⁸ Son of man, the house of Israel became to me for dross: all they brass and alloy, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they were drosses of silver. ¹⁹ For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah: because all of them were for drosses, for this, behold me gathering you into the midst of Jerusalem. ²⁰ The gathering silver and brass and iron and lead and alloy to the midst of the furnace to blow the fire upon it, to melt; so will I gather in mine anger and in my wrath, and I put down and melted you. ²¹ And I gathered you and blew upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye were melted in her midst ²² As silver being melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in her midst; And ye knew that I Jehovah poured out my wrath upon you. ²³ And the word of Jehovah will be to me, saying,

¹ According to the word Ephraim being terrified be was lifted up in Israel; and he will transgress in Baal and die.

⁴ A heart of oppression shall depart from me: I shall not know evil. ⁵ Slandering his neighbor in secret, him will I cut off: him being lofty of eyes and broad of heart, with him I will not eat ⁶ Mine eyes are upon the faithful of the earth, to dwell with me: he walking in a blameless way, he shall serve me. ⁷ He doing deceit shall not dwell in the midst of my house: he speaking falsehoods shall not be prepared before mine eyes. ⁸ For the mornings I will destroy all the unjust of the land; to cut off from the city of Jehovah all doing iniquity.

⁵ He gathering in summer, is a prudent son: he lying in deep sleep in harvest, a son causing shame.

² An understanding servant shall rule a son causing shame, and shall divide the inheritance in the midst of the brethren.

¹² The king's wrath growling as the young lion, and his acceptance as dew upon the grass. ¹³ A foolish son a calamity to his father: and the strifes of a woman a dropping thrust out

²⁶ He oppressing the father and putting the mother to flight, is a son causing shame and causing disgrace.

⁸ The king shall sit upon the throne of judgment scattering with his eyes all evil.

²⁶ A wise king scatters the unjust, and he will turn back a wheel over them.

¹¹ He loving pureness of heart the grace of his lips, the king is his friend.

⁵ Take ye away the unjust one from before the king, and his throne shall be prepared in justice.

¹² A ruler listening to the word of falsehood, all serving him are unjust

⁴⁵ Who then is the faithful and discerning servant, which his lord set over his attendance, to give them food in due season ⁴⁶ Happy that servant which his lord, having come, shall find doing thus. ⁴⁷ Truly I say to you, That he shall set him over all his possessions. ⁴⁸ But if that servant say in his heart, My lord delays to come; ⁴⁹ And he should begin to strike the fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with those intoxicated; ⁵⁰ The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he expects not, and in an hour which he knows not, ⁵¹ And he shall cut him in two equal parts, and he shall set his portion with the hypocrites: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

²¹ And his lord said to him, Well, good and faithful servant: thou west faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many; enter into the joy of thy lord.

²³ His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful servant; thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many; enter into the joy of thy lord.

⁴² And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, which the Lord will set over his household, to give the allowance of wheat in due time? ⁴³ Happy that servant, which his Lord, having come, shall find so doing. ⁴⁴ Truly I say to you, that he will set him over all his possessions. ⁴⁵ And if that servant should say in his heart, My Lord delays to come; and should begin to strike the servants and maids, also to eat and drink, and to be intoxicated; ⁴⁶ The lord of that servant shall come in a day which he expects not, and in an hour which he knows not, and he will cut him in two equal parts, and set his portion with the unbelieving. ⁴⁷ And that servant having known his lord's will, and not prepared, neither having done his will, shall be skinned with many. ⁴⁸ And he not having known, and having done things worthy of blows, shall be skinned with few. And to every one to whom much was given, shall much be required of him: and with whom they have deposited much, they will ask of him the more.
