²³ Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them through the countries,

²⁸ For when I had brought them into the land, which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill and every thick tree and they offered there their sacrifices and there they presented the provocation of their offering. There also they made their sweet aroma and they poured out there their drink offerings.

⁴² And you* will know that I am Jehovah when I will bring you* into the land of Israel, into the country which I swore to give to your* fathers.

¹⁵ and saying, Men! Why are you doing these things? We are also human, of like-feelings with you and are proclaiming the good-news to you : to turn away from these futile things to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things in them;

²³ For while going through the city and reviewing your worshiped objects, I also found an altar in which had been written, To An Unknown God. Therefore I am proclaiming to you, who are ignorant, this one to whom you are devout.

²⁰ For the invisible things of him are clearly seen from the creation of the world, being perceived by the things made, both his eternal power and divinity; that they may be without defense;

¹³ For when God promised to Abraham, since he was holding no one greater to swear according to, he swore according to himself,

¹⁸ and the Living One, and I became dead and behold, I am living forevermore and I have the keys of death and of Hades. Amen.

⁹ And whenever the living creatures gave glory and honor and thanks to the one who is sitting upon the throne, to the one who lives forevermore,

⁴⁶ And he said to them, Thus it has been written, that it was essential for the Christ to suffer and to rise up from the dead in the third day; ⁴⁷ and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

²¹ whom it is indeed essential for the heaven to accept till the times of restoration of all things, of which God spoke through the mouth of all his holy prophets that have been from of old.

²⁵ For brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant of this mystery (that you may not be too prudent with yourselves), that a hardening has become partially to Israel, till the fullness of the Gentiles should enter;

²⁵ (14:24) Now to the one who is able to establish you^\'b0 according to my good-news and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept-silent in times everlasting, \ulnone\nosupersub

³ that he made known the mystery to me according to revelation, just-as I wrote before in few words, ⁴ to which, you are able, by reading it, to perceive my understanding in the mystery of the Christ; ⁵ which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations, as it now was revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit. ⁶ The mystery is that the Gentiles are to be joint heirs and a joint body and joint partakers of his promise in the Christ through the good-news, ⁷ of which I became a servant, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power. ⁸ This grace was given to me the least of all the holy-ones, to proclaim the good-news of the untraceable riches of Christ among the Gentiles; ⁹ and to enlighten all with what the stewardship of the mystery is, of which has been hidden from the ages, in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;

¹⁵ And the seventh messenger sounded, and there became loud voices in heaven saying, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ and he will be reigning forevermore.

²¹ And your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you* in it when you* turn to the right hand and when you* turn to the left.

⁴ And when the seven thunders spoke their voices, I was about to write and I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up the things which the seven thunders spoke and do not write them. ⁵ And the messenger whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right hand to the heaven,

¹² I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips, I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

¹⁶ Your words were found and I ate them. And your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart. For I am called by your name, O Jehovah, God of hosts.

⁸ But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house.
Open your mouth and eat what I give you.

¹ And he said to me, Son of man, eat what you find. Eat this roll and go, speak to the house of Israel. ² So I opened my mouth and he caused me to eat the roll. ³ And he said to me, Son of man, cause your belly to eat and fill your guts with this roll that I give you. Then I ate it and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

¹⁴ So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away. And I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit and the hand of Jehovah was strong upon me.

⁶ Because of which things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience;

¹⁰ They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold. Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.

³⁴ Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Jehovah.

¹⁰³ How sweet are your words to my taste, than honey to my mouth!

²⁴ Pleasant words are a honeycomb: Sweet to the soul and health to the bones.

¹⁰ And he spread it before me and it was written inside and outside. And there were written in it lamentations and mourning and woe.

³ And he said to me, Son of man, cause your belly to eat and fill your guts with this roll that I give you. Then I ate it and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

⁹ Then Jehovah put forth his hand and touched my mouth. And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. ¹⁰ See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.

¹⁵ For Jehovah says thus, the God of Israel, to me: Take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it. ¹⁶ And they will drink and reel to and fro and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.
¹⁷ Then I took the cup at Jehovah's hand and made all the nations to drink, to whom Jehovah had sent me: ¹⁸ Jerusalem and the cities of Judah and the kings of it and the rulers of it, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing and a curse, as it is this day, ¹⁹ Pharaoh King of Egypt and his servants and his rulers and all his people, ²⁰ and all the mixed people and all the kings of the land of the Uz and all the kings of the Philistines and Ashkelon and Gaza and Ekron and the remnant of Ashdod, ²¹ Edom and Moab and the sons of Ammon, ²² and all the kings of Tyre and all the kings of Sidon and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea, ²³ Dedan and Tema and Buz and all who have the corners of their hair cut off, ²⁴ and all the kings of Arabia and all the kings of the mixed people who dwell in the wilderness, ²⁵ and all the kings of Zimri and all the kings of Elam and all the kings of the Medes, ²⁶ and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth. And the king of Sheshach will drink after them. ²⁷ And you will say to them, Jehovah of hosts says thus, the God of Israel: Drink you* and be drunken and spew and fall and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you*.
²⁸ And it will be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then you will say to them, Jehovah of hosts says thus: You* will surely drink. ²⁹ For behold, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name and should you* be utterly unpunished? You* will not be unpunished. For I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, says Jehovah of hosts.
³⁰ Therefore prophesy you against them all these words and say to them, Jehovah will roar from on high and utter his voice from his holy habitation. He will mightily roar against his fold. He will give a shout, as those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

⁴ Again he said to me, Prophesy over these bones and say to them, O you* dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah.

⁹ Then he said to me, Prophesy to the wind. Prophesy, son of man and say to the wind, The lord Jehovah says thus: Come from the four winds, O breath and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

⁹ And some from among the peoples and tribes and languages and nations look upon their corpses three and a half days and they will not allow their corpses to be laid in a tomb.

¹⁵ And he says to me, The waters which you saw, where the prostitute is sitting, are peoples and crowds and nations and languages.
