²² For thus says the Lord; I will even take of the choice [branches] of the cedar from the top [thereof], I will crop off their hearts, and I will plant it on a high mountain: ²³ and I will hang it on a lofty mountain of Israel: yes, I will plant it, and it shall put forth shoots, and shall bear fruit, and it shall be a great cedar: and every bird shall rest beneath it, even every fowl shall rest under its shadow: its branches shall be restored. ²⁴ And all the trees of the field shall know that I am the Lord that bring low the high tree, and exalt the low tree, and wither the green tree, and cause the dry tree to flourish: I the Lord have spoken, and will do [it].

³³ And Jacob ceased giving charges to his sons; and having lifted up his feet on the bed, he died, and was gathered to his people.

²⁵ For I know that he is eternal who is about to deliver me, ²⁶ [and] to raise up upon the earth my skin that endures these [sufferings]: for these things have been accomplished to me of the Lord; ²⁷ which I am conscious of in myself, which mine eye has seen, and not another, but all have been fulfilled to me in [my] bosom.

²² For as the new heaven and the new earth, which I make, remain before me, says the Lord, so shall your seed and your name continue.

² And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproach and everlasting shame.

¹ And in that day you shall say, I [will] bless you, O Lord; for you were angry with me, but you have turned aside your wrath, and have pitied me.

²⁰ Go, my people, enter into your closets, shut your door, hide yourself for a little season, until the anger of the Lord have passed away. ²¹ For, behold, the Lord is bringing wrath from [his] holy place upon the dwellers on the earth: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall not cover her slain.

¹ And the hand of the Lord came upon me, and the Lord brought me forth by the Spirit, and set me in the midst of the plain, and it was full of human bones. ² And he led me round about them every way: and, behold, [there were] very many on the face of the plain, very dry. ³ And he said to me, Son of man, will these bones live? and I said, O Lord God, you know this. ⁴ And he said to me, Prophesy upon these bones, and you shall say to them, You⌃ dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. ⁵ Thus says the Lord to these bones; Behold, I [will] bring upon you the breath of life: ⁶ and I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and will spread skin upon you, and will put my Spirit into you, and you⌃ shall live; and you⌃ shall know that I am the Lord. ⁷ So I prophesied as [the Lord] commanded me: and it came to pass while I was prophesying, that, behold, [there was] a shaking, and the bones approached each one to his joint. ⁸ And I looked, and behold, sinews and flesh grew upon them, and skin came upon them above: but there was not breath in them. ⁹ And he said to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus says the Lord; Come from the four winds, and breathe upon these dead [men], and let them live. ¹⁰ So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath entered into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, a very great congregation. ¹¹ And the Lord spoke to me, saying, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: and they say, Our bones are become dry, our hope has perished, we are quite spent. ¹² Therefore prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] open your tombs, and will bring you up out of your tombs, and will bring you into the land of Israel. ¹³ And you⌃ shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, that I may bring up my people from [their] graves. ¹⁴ And I will put my Spirit within you, and you⌃ shall live, and I will place you upon your own land: and you⌃ shall know that I [am] the Lord; I have spoken, and will do [it], says the Lord.

³ Is it good before you if I be unrighteous? for you have disowned the work of your hands, and attended to the counsel of the ungodly.

⁸ Your hands have formed me and made me; afterwards you did change [your mind], and strike me.

²² Then shall you call, and I will listen to you: or you shall speak, and I will give you an answer.

⁴ Against you only have I sinned, and done evil before you: that you might be justified in your sayings, and might overcome when you are judged. ⁵ For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.

⁸ If I should go up to heaven, you are there: if I should go down to hell, you are present.

⁶ that you have enquired into mine iniquity, and searched out my sins?

¹¹ And he has put my foot in the stocks, and has watched all my ways.

¹ (140) For the end, a Psalm of David. Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man; deliver me from the unjust man. ² Who have devised injustice in their hearts; all the day they prepared war. ³ They have sharpened their tongue as [the tongue] of a serpent; the poison of asps is under their lips. Pause. ⁴ Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner; rescue me from unjust men; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

²¹ For the ways of a man are before the eyes of God, and he looks on all his paths.

¹⁹ and Pharao king of Egypt, and his servants, and his nobles, and all his people;

³⁴ Behold! are not these things stored up by me, and sealed among my treasures?

¹⁹ Let his substance fail [to supply] his children: [God] shall recompense him, and he shall know it.

¹² Ephraim [has framed] a conspiracy of unrighteousness, his sin is hidden.

⁴ Anger has possessed you: for what if you should die; would [the earth] under heaven be desolate? or shall the mountains be overthrown from their foundations?

¹² Who has measured the water in his hand, and the heaven with a span, and all the earth in a handful? Who has weighed the mountains in scales, and the forests in a balance?

¹⁵ Behold, I have made you as new saw-shaped threshing wheels of a waggon; and you shall thresh the mountains, and beat the hills to powder, and make [them] as chaff: ¹⁶ and you shall winnow [them], and the wind shall carry them away, and a tempest shall scatter them: but you shall rejoice in the holy ones of Israel.

¹⁰ shall the mountains depart, nor shall your hills be removed: so neither shall my mercy fail you, nor shall the covenant of your peace be at all removed: for the Lord [who is] gracious to you has spoken [it].

¹ If you would open the heaven, trembling will take hold upon the mountains from you, and they shall melt,

²⁴ I [*]saw the mountains, and they trembled, and [I saw] all the hills in commotion.

¹⁷ And behold I bring a flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven, and whatever things are upon the earth shall die.

²¹ And there died all flesh that moved upon the earth, of flying creatures and cattle, and of wild beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, and every man. ²² And all things which have the breath of life, and whatever was on the dry land, died. ²³ And [God] blotted out every offspring which was upon the face of the earth, both man and beast, and reptiles, and birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth, and Noe was left alone, and those with him in the ark.

⁸ For what is the hope of the ungodly, that he holds to it? will he indeed trust in the Lord [and] be saved?

⁶ You has hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord. ⁷ I will exult and be glad in your mercy: for you have looked upon mine affliction; you have saved my soul from distresses.

¹¹ And the Lord spoke to me, saying, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: and they say, Our bones are become dry, our hope has perished, we are quite spent.

¹² And when they saw him from a distance they did not know him; and they cried with a loud voice, and wept, and tore every one his garment, and sprinkled dust upon [their heads],

⁸ There is no man that has power over the spirit to retain the spirit; and there is no power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in the day of the battle; neither shall ungodliness save her votary.

⁸ HETH. Their countenance is become blacker than smoke; they are not known in the streets: their skin has cleaved to their bones; they are withered, they are become as a stick.

²⁰ And in her time she was at the point of death; and the women that stood by her, said to her, Fear not, for you have born a son: but she answered not, and her heart did not regard it.

⁶ Sacrifice and offering you would not; but a body have you prepared me: whole burnt offering and [sacrifice] for sin you did not require.

¹⁸ And I hated the whole of my labor which I took under the sun; because I must leave it to the man who will come after me. ¹⁹ And who knows whether he will be a wise [man] or a fool? and whether he will have power over all my labor in which I laboured, and wherein I grew wise under the sun? this is also vanity.

⁵ For the living will know that they shall die: but the dead know nothing, and there is no longer any reward to them; for their memory is lost.

⁷ that they shall take also of your children whom you shall beget; and they shall make them eunuchs in the house of the king of the Babylonians. ⁸ And Ezekias said to Esaias, Good is the word of the Lord, which he has spoken: let there, I pray, be peace and righteousness in my days.

¹⁶ For you are our Father; for [though] Abraham knew us not, and Israel did not acknowledge us, yet do you, O Lord, our Father, deliver us: your name has been upon us from the beginning.

²⁰ My flesh is corrupt under my skin, and my bones are held in [my] teeth.

²² Therefore do you⌃ persecute me as also the Lord [does], and are not satisfied with my flesh?

¹⁹ And again, he chastens him with sickness on his bed, and the multitude of his bones is benumbed. ²⁰ And he shall not be able to take any food, though his soul shall desire meat; ²¹ until his flesh shall be consumed, and he shall show his bones bare.
