¹³ And man knew not its estimation, and it shall not be found in the land of the living. ¹⁴ The depth said, It is not in me: and the sea said, Not with me. ¹⁵ Shut up gold shall not be given for it, and silver shall not be weighed its price ¹⁶ It shall not be weighed with gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, and the sapphire. ¹⁷ Gold and crystal shall not compare with it, and its exchange, vessels of pure gold. ¹⁸ High things, and crystal, shall not be remembered: and the drawing out of wisdom above pearls. ¹⁹ The topaz of Cush shall not compare with it; with pure gold it shall not be weighed. ²⁰ And from whence shall wisdom come? and where this place of understanding? ²¹ And being hid from the eyes of all living, and covered from the birds of the heavens. ²² Destruction and death said, We heard its report with our ears: ²³ God understood its way, and he knew its place. ²⁴ For he will look to the ends of the earth, he will see under all the heavens; ²⁵ To make the weight for the wind; and he weighed the waters by measure. ²⁶ In his making a law for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the voices. ²⁷ Then he saw, and he will recount it; he prepared it, and also he searched it out ²⁸ And he will say to man, Behold, the fear of Jehovah, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

¹²⁷ For this I loved thy commands above gold, and above fine gold.

¹⁵ She is precious above red corals: and all thy delights shall not be equal with her. ¹⁶ Length of days in her right hand; in her left, riches and honor. ¹⁷ Her ways the ways of pleasantness, and all her beaten paths, peace. ¹⁸ She is a tree of life to all holding upon her: and happy he holding her fast

⁷ Wisdom the beginning; obtain wisdom, and with all thine acquisition, obtain understanding.

¹⁰ Receive my instruction and not silver and knowledge above tried gold. ¹¹ For wisdom is good above pearls, and all delights shall not be made equal with her.

¹⁹ My fruit is good above gold, and above pure gold; and my gain above tried silver.

¹² For in the shadow, wisdom; in the shadow, silver: and the excellence of knowledge is wisdom shall preserve alive those possessing it

²⁶ For what is a man profited, if he should gain the whole world, and injure his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

²¹ So he treasuring up for himself, and not rich toward God.

²⁴ Turn away from thee perverseness of mouth, and frowardness of lips remove far oft from thee. ²⁵ Thine eyes shall look straight before, and thine eyelashes shall be right before thee. ²⁶ Make level the track of thy feet, and all thy ways shall be prepared. ²⁷ Thou shalt not decline to the right and the left: turn away thy foot from evil

⁹ He going in integrity shall go confidently: and he perverting his ways shall be known.

¹⁶ He watching the command watches his soul: he despising his ways shall die.

⁸ And a highway was there, and a way, and it shall be called to it, A way of holiness; the unclean one shall not pass through it; and it is for them; he going the way, and the foolish shall not err.

¹³ But he having persevered to the end, this shall be saved.

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

¹⁶ And in this I myself attend carefully, to have a conscience unhurt towards God and men always.

¹⁰ Not purloining, but showing all good faith; that they may adorn the doctrine of the Saviour our God in all things. ¹¹ For the grace of God who saves, was manifested to all men, ¹² Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and eager worldly desires, we should live discreetly, and justly, and religiously, in the time now; ¹³ Expecting the blessed hope, and apppearance of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; ¹⁴ Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a distinguished people. zealous of good works.

³⁹ And we are not of drawing down to perdition; but of faith to the acquisition of the soul.

²¹ Keep yourselves in the love of God, awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life,

²⁴ And to him able to watch yourselves from falling, and to place blameless before his glory with transport of joy,

¹⁰ For thou didst keep the word of my patience, and I will keep thee from the hour of temptation, about to come upon the whole habitable globe, to try them dwelling upon the earth.

⁵ And Haman will see that Mordecai bowed not, and not worshiping to him, and Haman will be filled with wrath.

⁶ And Haman will come in. And the king will say to him, What to be done for the man whom the king delighted in his honor? And Haman will say in his heart, To whom will the king delight to do honor more abundantly than me?

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

² Pride coming, and dishonor will come: and wisdom with the humble.

¹⁹ He loving transgression loves contention: he lifting up his gate seeks breaking.

¹² Before a breaking a man's heart will be lifted up, and before honor, humility.

²³ A man's pride shall bring him low: and honor shall uphold him humble of spirit

¹¹ The lofty eyes of man were humbled, and the height of men bowed down, and Jehovah alone was exalted in that day. ¹² For the day to Jehovah of armies is upon all the haughty and the high, and upon all lifted up; and he was humbled:

¹⁰ Thus shall ye say to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Thy God in whom thou trustest shall not lift thee up in him, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assur. ¹¹ Behold, thou heardest what the kings of Assur did to all the lands to destroy them; and shalt thou be delivered? ¹² Did the gods of the nations deliver them which my fathers destroyed, Gozan and Haran and Rezeph and the sons of Eden which were in Thelassar? ¹³ Where the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king to the city of Sepharvaim, Hena and Ivah?

³⁸ And it will be he worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, and Adrammelech and Sharezer, his sons, struck him with the sword; and they escaped to the land of Ararat; and Esar-Haddon his son will reign in his stead.

³⁰ The king answered and said, Is not this great Babel, that I built it for the house of the kingdom by the strength of my power, and for the honor of my majesty? ³¹ Yet the word in the king's mouth, a voice from the heavens fell to thee, being said, O Nebuchadnezzar the king, the kingdom passed away from thee: ³² And from men driving thee out, and with beasts of the open field thy dwelling: and they shall feed to thee the grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee till that thou shalt know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and to whom he will, he will give it ³³ In the same moment the word was added upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven out from men, and he shall eat the green herb as oxen, and from the dew of the heavens his body shall be wet till that his hair was increased as eagles, and his nails as birds'. ³⁴ And at the end of the days, I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes to the heavens, and my knowledge will turn back to me, and I praised to the Most High, and to him living forever, I praised and honored, whose dominion an eternal dominion, and his kingdom with generation and generation. ³⁵ And all the generations of the earth being reckoned as nothing: and doing according to his station in the army of the heavens, and the generations of the earth: and there is none that shall strike upon his hand, and say to him, What didst thou? ³⁶ In that time my knowledge will turn back to me: and for the honor of my kingdom, my splendor and my brightness will return to me; and my counselors and my nobles will seek to me: and I was established over my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added to me. ³⁷ Now I Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and honor to the king of the heavens, that all his works are truth, and his paths judgment: and that they going about in pride, he being able to bring low.

²² And thou his son, O Belshazzar, didst not humble thy heart because that thou knewest all this;

²⁴ At that time from before him was sent the palm of the hand, and this writing written.

³ The pride of thy heart deceived thee, dwelling in the refuges of the rock, the height his seat; he said in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the earth? ⁴ If thou shalt exalt as the eagle, and set thy nest between the stars, from thence will I bring thee down, says Jehovah.

³³ And Peter having answered, said to him, And if all men shall be scandalized in thee, I will never be scandalized. ³⁴ Jesus says to him, Truly I say to thee that in this night, before the cock utters a sound, thou shalt deny me thrice. ³⁵ Peter says to him, Though it should be necessary for me to die with thee, I will not deny thee: likewise also said all the disciples.

⁷⁴ Then began he to anathematize, and to swear, That I know not the man: and quickly the cock uttered a sound.

²⁰ Well; for unbelief were they broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but do thou fear:

⁶ Not newly planted, lest rendered proud he fall into condemnation of the accuser.

⁹ The enemy said, I will pursue, I will enclose, I will divide the spoil: my soul shall be filled with them: I will draw out my sword, my hand shall dispossess them.

¹⁸ Jehovah is near to the broken of heart, and he will save the humble of spirit

⁶ If Jehovah is high, and he will see the humble one: and the lofty one he will know from far off.

³ Thou didst multiply the nation, thou didst not increase the joy: they rejoiced before thee according to the joy in harvest as they will exalt in their dividing the spoil.

⁶ Against a polluted nation will I send him, and upon a people of my outpouring will I command him to spoil a spoil and to plunder a plunder, and to set them a treading down as the clay of the streets.

¹³ For he said, By strength of my hand I did, and by my wisdom, for I was discreet: and I will remove the bounds of the people, and their things prepared I plundered, and I will bring down as a strong one the inhabitants. ¹⁴ And my hand will find as a nest for the strength of the peoples: and as he gathering eggs left, I gathered all the land; and there was not moving the wing, and opening wide the mouth, and peeping. ¹⁵ Shall the axe vaunt itself against him hewing with it? shall the saw magnify itself against him moving it up and down? as the rod moving up and down with those lifting it up; as the lifting up of the rod not wood.

¹² For this I will divide to him with many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; for which his soul was poured out to death, and he was numbered with transgressors; and he lifted up the sin of many, and he will supplicate for transgressors.

¹⁵ For thus said the high and lifted up inhabiting eternity, and his name Holy; being lifted up, and I will dwell in the holy place, and with the broken and humble of spirit, to preserve alive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the broken.

³ Happy the poor in spirit: for their's is the kingdom of the heavens.

⁵¹ He has done strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thought of their heart. ⁵² he has pulled down the powerful from thrones, and lifted up the ⁵³ He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he sent away empty.

¹³ And the publican, standing afar off, would not either lift up the eyes to heaven, but struck upon his breast, saying, God propitiate for me the sinful. ¹⁴ I say to you, this one went down to his house justified rather than that one: for every one lifting up himself shall be humbled; and he humbling himself shall be lifted up.

³⁸ And Pharaoh will say to his servants, Shall we find such as this man which has the spirit of God in him? ³⁹ And Pharaoh will say to Joseph, After that God showed thee all this, none discerning and wise as thou. ⁴⁰ Thou shalt be over my house, and to thy mouth all my people shall bend: only upon the throne I shall be great above thee.

²⁰ And they will be helped against them, and the Hagarites will be given into their hand, and all with them: for they cried to God in the war, and he was entreated for them, for they trusted in him.

¹² Kiss the chosen lest he shall be angry, and ye perish in the way when his anger shall kindle as a little. Happy all they putting their trust in him.

⁸ Taste ye and see that Jehovah is good: happy the man who shall put his trust in him.

¹ Song of ascensions. They trusting in Jehovah are as mount Zion; it shall not be moved; remaining forever.

⁵ Happy is he the God of Jacob for his help, his hope upon Jehovah his God:

³⁵ For he finding me, the finding of life, and he shall bnng forth acceptance from Jehovah.

¹⁵ Good understanding shall give grace: and the way of the transgressing is perpetuity.

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

⁸ He obtaining a heart loved his soul: he watched understanding to find good.

¹⁹ For thy trust to be in Jehovah, I caused thee to know to-day, thee also. ²⁰ Did I not write to thee three days ago in counsels and knowledge?

³ By wisdom a house will be built, and it will be prepared by understanding: ⁴ And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. ⁵ A wise man is in strength, and a man of knowledge strengthens power.

³ The mind placed upon thee thou wilt form peace, peace, because he trusted in thee. ⁴ Trust ye in Jehovah even to eternity, for in Jah Jehovah is the rock of ages.

¹⁸ And for this Jehovah will wait to compassionate you, and for this he will be lifted up to pity you, for Jehovah is a God of judgment: happy all they waiting for him.

⁷ Blessed the man who shall trust in Jehovah, and his trust was Jehovah. 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.

¹⁹ And the king will speak with them: and there was not found from all of them as Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: and they will stand before the king. ²⁰ And every word of the wisdom of understanding which the king sought from them, and he will find them ten hands over all the sacred scribes, the enchanters which were in all his kingdom. ²¹ And Daniel will be even to one year to Cyrus the king.

²⁸ { Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, Blessed be their God of Shadrach,,Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who sent his messenger and delivered for his servants that trusted upon him, and they changed the king's word, and gave their bodies that they will not serve and prostrate themselves to any god, except to their God.}

²³ At that time the king rejoiced greatly for him, and to Daniel he said to be taken up from the den. And Daniel was taken up from the den, and any hurt was not found upon him, for he trusted in his God.

¹⁶ Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore discerning as serpents, and pure as doves.

¹² For us to be to the praise of his glory, who before hoped in Christ. ¹³ In whom ye also, having heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation: in whom also having believed, ye were sealed by the holy Spirit of solemn promise,

¹² Behold, I did according to thy word, I gave to thee a wise and understanding heart; that there was not as thou before thee, and after thee there shall not arise like thee.

² Thou wert very beautiful above the sons of man: grace was poured forth by thy lips: for this God praised thee forever.

⁸ The wise of heart will receive commands: and the foolish of lips shall fall.

⁷ The lips of the wise will disperse knowledge: and the heart of the foolish not so.

²³ The heart of the wise shall attend to his mouth, and he shall add knowledge to his lips. ²⁴ Words of pleasantness an, honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and healing to the bones.

¹⁵ My son, if thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

⁹ Oil and incense will rejoice the heart: and the sweetness from his friend from the counsel of the soul.

¹⁰ The preacher sought to find words: of delight: and that written was straight, words of truth.

⁴ The Lord Jehovah gave to me the tongue of the expert to know to help the weary with a word: he will rouse up in the morning by morning, he will rouse up to me the ear to hear as the expert

²² And all bore him testimony and wondered at the words of grace going out of his mouth: and said, Is not this the son of Joseph

⁴⁶ And the servants answered, Never spake man as this man.

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.

¹⁷ And the wisdom from above is truly first pure, then peaceful, decorous, docile, full of mercy and good fruits, not separated, and unfeigned.

¹¹ A fountain of life the mouth of the just one: and violence shall cover the mouth of the unjust

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

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.

⁴ Deep waters are the words of man's mouth, the fountain of wisdom a gushing stream.

¹⁴ Let them go: they are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

¹⁶ Woe to you blind guides, saying, Whoever should swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever should swear by the gold of the temple, he is indebted! ¹⁷ Foolish and blind; for which is the greater, the gold, or the temple consecrating the gold? ¹⁸ And, Whoever should swear by the altar, it is nothing; and whoever should swear by the gift above it, he is indebted. ¹⁹ Foolish and blind: for which is the greater, the gift, or the altar, consecrating the gifts? ²⁰ Therefore, he having sworn by the altar, swears by it, and by all above it. ²¹ And he having sworn by the temple, swears by it, and by him dwelling in it. ²² And he having sworn by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him sitting above it. ²³ Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye exact tenths and dill and cummin, and ye have left the weightier things of the law, judgment, and mercy, and faith: these it was necessary to do, and not to let go those. ²⁴ Blind guides, straining a gnat, and swallowing down a camel. ²⁵ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup, and the side dish of sweet-meats, and within they are full of pillage and bad mixture. ²⁶ O blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, and side dish of sweetmeats, that also their outside might be clean.

³⁹ And he spake to them a parable, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? ⁴⁰ For the learner is not above his teacher: and every one set in order shall be as his teacher.

²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, That he hearing my word, and believing him having sent me, has eternal life, and comes not into judgment; but has passed from death to life.

⁶³ It is the spirit making alive; the flesh profits nothing: the words which I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

⁶⁸ Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go away? thou hast the words of eternal life.

³⁰ The mouth of the just one shall speak wisdom, and his tongue shall speak judgment ³¹ The law of his God is in his heart, and his goings shall not waver.

¹ To the overseer over the lilies, for the sons of Korah, instruction: a song of the beloved. My heart boiled over a good word: I say my works to the king: my tongue the pen of one writing promptly.

¹⁷ Incline thine ear and hear the words of the wise, and thou shalt set thy heart to my knowledge. ¹⁸ For pleasant things if thou shalt watch them in thy belly; they shall be prepared together for thy lips.

³⁴ O generation of vipers! how can ye speak good things, being evil? for out of the abundance of the heart the month speaks. ³⁵ The good man, out of the good treasure of the heart, casts forth good things: and the evil man, out of the evil treasure, casts forth evil things.

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in, you richly; teaching and reminding one another in all wisdom, playing with harps, and songs, and spiritual odes, with grace singing in your hearts to the Lord.

² My doctrine shall drop as the rain; My word shall pour out as the dew, As the showers upon the herbage, And as the rains upon the green herb:

¹⁰ Being desirable above gold, and above much pure gold, and being sweet above honey, and the dropping of honey-combs.

¹⁰³ How smooth were thy words to my palate I more than honey to my mouth!

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

²² For they are life to those finding them, and healing to all their flesh.

¹⁸ There is he talking idly as the piercings of the sword: and the tongue of the wise is healing.

²³ Joy to the man in the answer of his mouth: and a word in its time how good

²⁶ The purposes of evil an abomination of Jehovah: and the pure speaking of pleasantness.

¹⁶ And my reins shall exult in the speaking of thy lips uprightnesses.

¹³ My son, eat honey, for it is good; and the dropping of honey being sweet to thy palate. ¹⁴ So the knowledge of wisdom to thy soul if thou shalt find: and there is a latter state and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

¹¹ Apples of gold in images of silver is the word spoken upon its wheels. ¹² An earring of gold and a necklace of gold, the wise one reproving upon the hearing ear.

¹¹ Thy lips will drop honey droppings, O bride: honey and milk under thy tongue, and the odor of thy garments as the odor of Lebanon.

¹⁶ Thy words were found, and eating them; and thy word will be to me for the gladness and for the joy of my heart: for thy name was called upon me, Jehovah the God of armies.

¹⁹ Then it being evening, in that one day of the sabbaths, and the doors shut where the disciples were gathered together for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace to you. ²⁰ And having said this, he showed them his hands, and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced, having seen the Lord. ²¹ Then said Jesus again to them, Peace to you: as the Father has sent me, I also send you.

¹⁵ The way of the foolish is right in his eyes: and the wise one heard to counsel.

²⁶ The just excelled above his neighbor: and the way of the unjust shall lead them astray.

¹² There is a way straight before man, and its latter state the ways of death.

¹⁵ Because ye said, We cut out a covenant with death, and with hades we did this; when this overflowing scourge passed through it shall not come to us, for we set falsehood our refuge, and in ahewe hid ourselves., ¹⁶ For this, thus said the Lord. Jehovah, Behold me placing for a foundation in Zion a stone, a stone of trial, a corner precious, a foundation being founded: and he believing shall not hasten. ¹⁷ And I set judgment to the line and justice to the weight: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of falsehood, and the waters shall overflow the covering. ¹⁸ And your covenant with death was obliterated, and your league with hades shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through and ye. were for a treading down to it ¹⁹ When passing through it shall take you: for by morning by morning it shall pass through in the day and in the night: and it was only an agitation to;understand the hearing.

⁴⁷ Then the Pharisees answered them, Have ye not also been deceived ⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him? ⁴⁹ But the crowd, not knowing the law, are cursed.

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

⁹ I therefore truly thought to myself, I must do many things contrary to the name of Jesus, the Nazarite.

⁵ Try yourselves, if ye are in the faith; prove yourselves. Or know ye not yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless ye are not tried?

¹² If thou wert wise, thou wert wise for thyself: and thou mockedst, thou alone shalt suffer.

²³ In all labor will be profit: and the word of the lips only to want

⁷ All the labor of man for his mouth, and also the soul shall not be filled.

¹¹ And that ye be ambitions to remain quiet, and attend to your own things, and work with your own hands, as we enjoined you; ¹² That ye should walk becomingly to them without, and have need of nothing.

⁸ Neither ate we the bread of any as a gift; but in fatigue and toil working night and day also, not to overload any of you: ⁹ Not that we have not power, but that we give ourselves a type to you to imitate us. 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.

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.

¹ And a man of Belial was met with there, and his name Sheba, son of Bichri, a man, a Jaminite: and he will strike upon the trumpet and say, No portion to us in David, and no inheritance to us in the son of Jesse: a man to his tent to Israel.

¹⁴ From men of thy hand, O Jehovah, from men of this world their portion in life, and thou wilt fill their belly with thy hidden things: they will be filled with sons, they left the remaining things to their children. ¹⁵ I in justice shall see thy face: I shall be satisfied in awaking with thine appearance.

² Thy tongue will purpose mischief as a razor being sharpened, working deceit. ³ Thou lovedst evil above good; falsehood more than speaking justice. Silence. ⁴ Thou lovedst all words of destruction, a tongue of deceit

⁴ My soul is in the midst of lions: I shall lie down with the flaming, the sons of man, their teeth spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

⁴ If thou wilt seek her as silver, and dig for her as hidden treasure;

¹² A man of Belial, a man of iniquity, goes with perverseness of mouth.

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

¹⁸ Wo to those drawing iniquity with cords of evil, and sin as the cords of a wagon:

¹³ Behold, is it not from Jehovah of armies, and the peoples shall labor in a sufficiency of fire, and the peoples shall be wearied in a sufficiency of emptiness?

⁶ (And the tongue a fire, a world of iniquity: so the tongue is placed in our members, defiling the whole body, and burning the wheel of creation; and burned by hell.

¹ And the serpent was crafty above every beast of the field which Jehovah God made; and he will say to the woman, Is it because God said ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? ² And the woman will say to the serpent, From the fruit of the tree of the garden we shall eat ³ And from the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God said, Ye shall not eat from it, and ye shall not touch upon it, lest ye shall die. ⁴ And the serpent will say to the woman, Dying ye shall not die. ⁵ For God is knowing in the day of your eating from it, and your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil. ⁶ And the woman will see that the tree is good for food, and that it is a desire to the eyes, and a tree desired to make wise; and she will take from its fruit and will eat, and will give also to her man with her, and he will eat ⁷ And the eyes of the two shall be opened, and they shall know that they are naked; and they shall sew together the leaves of the fig tree, and shall make to themselves girdles. ⁸ And they shall hear the voice of Jehovah God walking in the garden at the breeze of the day: and Adam and his wife will hide from the face of Jehovah God in the midst of the wood of the garden. ⁹ And Jehovah God will call to the man, and will say to him, Where art thou? ¹⁰ And he will will say, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I shall be afraid, because I am naked, and I will hide myself. ¹¹ And he will say, Who showed to thee that thou art naked? Of the tree which I charged thee not to eat, didst thou eat from it? ¹² And the man will say, The woman which thou gavest with me, she gave to me from the tree, and I shall eat ¹³ And Jehovah God will say to the woman, What is this thou didst? And the woman will say, The serpent deceived me and I shall eat.

⁹ And David will say to Saul, Why wilt thou hear the words of man, saying, Behold, David is seeking thy hurt?

¹⁹ A witness of falsehood, breathing out lies, and sending strife between brethren.

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

⁹ He covering transgression seeks love; and he perverting in the word, separates a, friend.

⁸ The words of the tale-bearer as dainty morsels, and they will go down to the chambers of the belly.

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.

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

³³ For the pressure of milk will bring forth cheese, and the pressure of the nose will bring forth blood: and the pressure of wrath will, bring forth contention.

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

²⁰ For I am afraid, lest somehow, having come, I find you not such; as I will, and I find you such as ye wish not: lest somehow, strifes, jealousies, wraths, intrigues, calumnies, whisperings, inflations, derangements:

³ If any teach otherwise, and come not up to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine according to devotion; ⁴ He has been proud, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and disputes of words, of which is envy, strife, slanders, evil conjectures, ⁵ Unprofitable occupations of men corrupted in mind, and deprived of the truth, thinking gain to be devotion: be separated from such.

¹⁴ And if ye have bitter envy and intrigue in your heart, boast not, and lie not against the truth. ¹⁵ This is wisdom coming not down from above, but earthly, natural, resembling an evil spirit. ¹⁶ For where envy and intrigue, there confusion and every bad deed.

¹¹ And Saul will send messengers to the house of David to watch him, and to kill him in the morning: and Michel his wife will announce to David, saying, If thou save not thy soul this night, to-morrow thou diest

¹⁷ And Saul will say to Michal, Wherefore didst thou deceive me thus? and wilt thou send away mine enemy and he will escape? And Michal will say to Saul, He said to me, Send me away; why shall I kill thee?

⁷ And Saul will say to his servants standing by him, Hear now, ye sons of my right hand; also to you all will the son of Jesse give fields and vineyards, to you all will he set chiefs of thousands and chiefs of hundreds; ⁸ That ye were all bound together against me and none uncovering mine ear in my sons cutting out with the son of Jesse, and none of you was concerned for me and uncovered mine ear that my son raised up my servant against me to lie in wait as this day. ⁹ And Doeg the Edomite will answer, and he being set over the servants of Saul, and he will say, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob to Ahimelech, son of Ahitub.

¹⁹ And the Ziphites will go up to Saul to the hill, saying, Is not David hiding with us in the fastnesses in the thicket, in the hill of Hachilah, which is from the right of the desert? ²⁰ And now, according to all the desire of thy soul, O king, to come down, come down; and for us to shut him up into the hand of the king. ²¹ And Saul will say, Blessed ye, by Jehovah; for ye had pity upon me.

¹³ So that he was hired that I shall be afraid and do thus, and sin, and it was to them for an evil name, so that they shall reproach me.

¹⁰ My son, if they sinning shall entice thee, thou shalt not go in. ¹¹ If they shall say, Go with us, we will lie in wait for blood, we will hide for the innocent gratuitously; ¹² We will swallow them down living, as hades, and whole, as they going down to the pit: ¹³ We shall find precious riches, we will fill our houses with spoil: ¹⁴ Wilt thou cast thy lot in the midst of us; one purse shall be to all:

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:

³¹ Thou shalt not envy against a man of violence, and thou shalt choose in all his ways.

¹⁷ You therefore, dearly beloved, knowing beforehand, watch, lest, led away by the error of the lawless, ye fall from your own stability.

¹² A man of Belial, a man of iniquity, goes with perverseness of mouth. ¹³ Pinching the eyes, speaking with the feet, teaching with his fingers; ¹⁴ Perverseness in his heart, fabricating evil in all time, he will send forth strifes.

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

²⁷ A man of Belial dug up evil, and upon his lips, as a burning fire.

¹⁰ Make the heart of this people fat and their ears heavy, and blind their eyes, lest they shall see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and their heart shall understand and turn back and be healed to them.

³ For doing evil with the hands to do well, the chief asking, and the judge, for peace; and the great one, he spake the mischief of his soul: and they will entangle it

¹⁵ For the heart of this people has been thickened, and with their ears have they heard heavily, and their eyes have they closed; lest perhaps they should see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I should heal them.

⁷ Wherefore, with an oath, he agreed to give her whatever she should ask. ⁸ And having been urged on by her mother, Give me, she says, here upon a board, the head of John the Baptist.

²³ And the leader said, For what evil hath he done? and they cried excessively, saying, Let him be crucified. ²⁴ And Pilate, seeing that it profits nothing, but there is rather an uproar, having taken water, he washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this just one: ye shall see yourselves. ²⁵ And all the people having answered, said, His blood upon us, and upon our children. ²⁶ Then he loosed to them Barabbas: and having scourged Jesus, delivered him up, that, he might be crucified.

²⁰ For every one doing bad things hates the light, and he comes not to the light, lest his works should be rebuked.

⁷ And Joseph will bring Jacob his father and will set him before Pharaoh, and Jacob will bless Pharaoh. ⁸ And Pharaoh will say to Jacob, How many the days of the years of thy life? ⁹ And Jacob will say to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my sojourning, thirty and a hundred years: little and evil were the days of the years of my life, and they reached not the days of the years of the life of my fathers in their sojournings. ¹⁰ And Jacob will bless Pharaoh, and he will go out from before Pharaoh.

³² From the face of gray hair thou shalt rise up, and thou shalt honor the face of the old man, and thou shalt be afraid of thy God: I Jehovah.

² And now, behold, the king going before you: and I grew old and I was gray-headed; and my sons, behold them with you: and I went before you from my youth even to this day. ³ Behold me: answer against me before Jehovah and before his Messiah, whose ox did I take? or whose ass did I take? and whom did I oppress? whom did I vex? and from whose hand did I take a ransom and hidden mine eyes with it? and I will turn back to you. ⁴ And they will say, Thou didst not oppress us, and thou didst not vex us, and thou didst not take any thing from man's hand. ⁵ And he will say to them, Jehovah the witness against you, and his Messiah the witness this day that ye found nothing in my hand. And he will say, A witness.

¹⁰ And David will praise Jehovah before the eyes of all the convocation: and David will say, Praised be thou, O Jehovah God of Israel our father, from forever and even to forever. ¹¹ To thee, O Jehovah, the greatness and the strength, and the glory and the confidence, and the majesty: for all in the heavens and in the earth to thee, O Jehovah, the kingdom and being lifted up to all for head. ¹² And riches and honor from before thee, and thou ruling over all, and in thy hand power and strength, and in thy hand to magnify and to strengthen to all. ¹³ And now, our God, we confess to thee, and praise to the name of thy glory. ¹⁴ And because who am I? and who my people, that we shall retain power to show ourselves willing according to this? for from thee all things, and from thy hand they gave to thee. ¹⁵ For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers: as a shadow our days upon the earth, and no expectation. ¹⁶ O Jehovah our God, all this multitude that we prepared to build to thee a house for thy holy name, it is from thy hand, and to thee the whole. 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. ¹⁸ O Jehovah the God of Abraham, Isaak, and Israel, our fathers, watch this forever to the formation of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare for their heart to thee: ¹⁹ And to Solomon my son wilt thou give a whole heart to watch thy commands, thy testimonies, and thy laws, and to do the whole, and to build the fortress which I prepared. ²⁰ And David will say to all the convocation, Praise ye now Jehovah your God. And all the convocation will praise to Jehovah the God of their fathers, and they will bow down and worship to God and the king. ²¹ And they will sacrifice sacrifices to Jehovah, and they will bring up burnt-offerings to Jehovah for the morrow of that day, a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, and their libations, and sacrifices for abundance for all Israel: ²² And they will eat and drink before Jehovah in that day with great gladness. And they will make the second time for Solomon son of David to be king, and they will anoint him to Jehovah for leader, and to Zadok for priest ²³ And Solomon will sit upon the throne of Jehovah for king instead of David his father, and he will prosper; and all Israel will hear to him. ²⁴ And all the chiefs and the strong ones, and also all the sons of king David gave the hand under Solomon the king. ²⁵ And Jehovah will magnify Solomon to above before the eyes of all Israel, and he will give upon him the majesty of the kingdom which was not upon any king before him over Israel.

⁶ And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite will answer and say, I few for days, and ye old men; for this I was afraid, and I shall fear showing you my knowledge. ⁷ I said, days shall speak, and multitude of years shall make known wisdom.

¹ My son, thou shalt not forget my law, and thy heart shall guard my commands: ² For length of days and years of life, and peace they shall add to thee.

⁶ The crown of old men, sons' sons: and the glory of sons their fathers.

²⁹ The glory of young men their strength: and the ornament of old men gray hair.

¹³ Good a poor and wise child above an old and foolish king, who knew not more to receive instruction.

⁶ And they were both just before God, going faultless in all the commands and precepts of the Lord.

²⁹ Now Lord, thou wilt loose thy servant, according to thy word, in peace : ³⁰ For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, ³¹ Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples: ³² A light for the revelation of the nations, and the glory of thy people Israel. ³³ And Joseph and his mother were wondering at the things spoken of him. ³⁴ And Simeon praised them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, he is laid for the fall and rising up of many in Israel; and for a sign spoken against; ³⁵ (And also a spear shall pass through the soul of thyself,) so that the reasonings from many hearts might be revealed. ³⁶ And Anna was a prophetess, daughter of flannel, of the tribe of Aser : she advanced in many days, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; ³⁷ And she a widow of about eighty-four years, who departed not from the temple, with fastings and supplications serving night and day. ³⁸ And she having stood at that hour, confessed to the Lord, and spake concerning him to all awaiting redemption in Jerusalem.

⁹ By love I beseech rather, being such as Paul an aged man, and now also the imprisoned of Jesus Christ.

⁸ Jehovah being compassionate and merciful, slow to anger and great of mercy.

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

¹⁹ Good the cast down of spirit with the humble more than to divide the spoil with the proud.

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

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

²¹ Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

¹ Be ye therefore imitators of God, as dearly beloved children;

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

²¹ He conquering, will I give to him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

⁵⁵ But by lot shall the land be divided; according to the names of the tribes of their fathers, they shall inherit ⁵⁶ According to the lot thou shalt divide his inheritance between the many to the few. ⁵⁷ And these the reviewings of the Levites according to their families: to Gershon, the families of the Gershonites; to Kohath, the families of the Kohathites; to Merari, the families of the Merarites. ⁵⁸ These the families of Levi: the families of the Libnites, the families of the Hebronites, the families of the Mahlites, the families of the Mushites, the families of the Korathites: and Kohath begat Amram. ⁵⁹ And the name of Amram's wife, Jochebed, daughter of Levi, who bare her to Levi in Egypt: and she will bear to Amram, Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister. ⁶⁰ And will be born to Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and Eleazar and Ithamar. ⁶¹ And Nadab will die, and Abihu, in their bringing near strange fire before Jehovah. ⁶² And they being reviewed will be three and twenty thousand, every male from the son of a month and above: for they were not reviewed in the midst of the sons of Israel, for an inheritance was not given to them in the midst of the sons of Israel. ⁶³ These the reviewings of Moses and Eleazar the priest, who reviewed the sons of Israel in the desert of Moab, by Jordan of Jericho. ⁶⁴ And among these there was not a man from the reviewings of Moses and Aaron the priest, who reviewed the sons of Israel in the desert of Sinai. ⁶⁵ For Jehovah said to them, Dying, they shall die in the desert And there was not left from them a man but Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, eon of Nun.

¹⁴ And come near in the morning according to your tribes: and it was the tribe which Jehovah shall take of us shall come near according to the families; and the family which Jehovah shall take shall come near according to houses; and the house which Jehovah shall take shall come near according to the men.

⁵ And they divided it into seven portions: Judah shall stand upon his bound from the south, and the house of Joseph shall stand upon their bound from the north.

¹⁰ And Joshua will cast the lot to them in Shiloh before Jehovah: and Joshua will there divide the land to the sons of Israel according to their divisions.

⁴¹ And Saul will say to Jehovah the God of Israel, Give the truth. And Jonathan will be taken, and Saul: and the people will come forth. ⁴² And Saul will say, Cast between me and between Jonathan my son. And Jonathan will be taken.

¹ And the chiefs of the people dwelt in Jerusalem: and the rest of the people cast lots to bring one from ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine hands in the cities.

¹⁸ The lot will cause contentions to cease, and will separate between the strong,

²⁶ Many are seeking the face of the ruler, and from Jehovah a man's judgment

⁷ And they will say each to his neighbor, Come, and we will cast the lot, and we shall know for the retributions of this evil to us. And they will cast lots, and the lot will fall upon Jonah.

²⁶ And he gave their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was voted together with the eleven sent.
