⁹ And the Lord said through a vision in the night to Paul, `Be not afraid, but be speaking and thou mayest be not silent; ¹⁰ because I am with thee, and no one shall set on thee to do thee evil; because I have much people in this city;'

²⁴ saying, Be not afraid Paul; before Caesar it behoveth thee to stand; and, lo, God hath granted to thee all those sailing with thee;

⁴ And it cometh to pass, the people of the land are making the hands of the people of Judah feeble, and troubling them in building, ⁵ and are hiring against them counsellors to make void their counsel all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even till the reign of Darius king of Persia.
⁶ And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the commencement of his reign, they have written an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem;

²⁴ then ceased the service of the house of God that is in Jerusalem, and it ceased till the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

²⁰ And he saith, Hast thou known why I have come unto thee? and now I turn back to fight with the head of Persia; yea, I am going forth, and lo, the head of Javan hath come; ²¹ but I declare to thee that which is noted down in the Writing of Truth, and there is not one strengthening himself with me, concerning these, except Michael your head.

¹ `And at that time stand up doth Michael, the great head, who is standing up for the sons of thy people, and there hath been a time of distress, such as hath not been since there hath been a nation till that time, and at that time do thy people escape, every one who is found written in the book.

¹ And he sheweth me Joshua the high priest standing before the messenger of Jehovah, and the Adversary standing at his right hand, to be an adversary to him. ² And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary: `Jehovah doth push against thee, O Adversary, Yea, push against thee doth Jehovah, Who is fixing on Jerusalem, Is not this a brand delivered from fire?'

¹² because we have not the wrestling with blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual things of the evil in the heavenly places;

¹⁰ and ye are in him made full, who is the head of all principality and authority,

¹⁸ wherefore we wished to come unto you, (I indeed Paul,) both once and again, and the Adversary did hinder us;

²² who is at the right hand of God, having gone on to heaven—messengers, and authorities, and powers, having been subjected to him.

⁹ yet Michael, the chief messenger, when, with the devil contending, he was disputing about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring up an evil-speaking judgment, but said, `The Lord rebuke thee!'

⁷ And there came war in the heaven; Michael and his messengers did war against the dragon, and the dragon did war, and his messengers,

¹ And Jacob calleth unto his sons and saith, `Be gathered together, and I declare to you that which doth happen with you in the latter end of the days.

³⁰ in distress being to thee, and all these things have found thee, in the latter end of the days, and thou hast turned back unto Jehovah thy God, and hast hearkened to His voice;

²¹ `And it hath been, when many evils and distresses do meet it, that this song hath testified to its face for a witness; for it is not forgotten out of the mouth of its seed, for I have known its imagining which it is doing to-day, before I bring them in unto the land of which I have sworn.'

² And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, Established is the mount of Jehovah's house, Above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the heights, And flowed unto it have all the nations.

²⁸ but there is a God in the heavens, a revealer of secrets, and He hath made known to king Nebuchadnezzar that which is to be in the latter end of the days. `Thy dream and the visions of thy head on thy bed are these:

²² And he giveth understanding, and speaketh with me, and saith, `O Daniel, now I have come forth to cause thee to consider understanding wisely;

¹ In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a thing is revealed to Daniel, whose name is called Belteshazzar, and the thing is true, and the warfare is great: and he hath understood the thing, and hath understanding about the appearance.

⁵ Afterwards turned back have the sons of Israel, and sought Jehovah their God, and David their king, and have hastened unto Jehovah, and unto His goodness, in the latter end of the days.

¹ And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mount of the house of Jehovah Is established above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the hills, And flowed unto it have peoples.

³ For yet the vision is for a season, And it breatheth for the end, and doth not lie, If it tarry, wait for it, For surely it cometh, it is not late.

¹ And this know thou, that in the last days there shall come perilous times,

³ how shall we escape, having neglected so great salvation? which a beginning receiving—to be spoken through the Lord—by those having heard was confirmed to us,

²⁷ In that day opened is thy mouth with the escaped, And thou speakest, and art not silent any more, And thou hast been to them for a type. And they have known that I am Jehovah.'

²² And the hand of Jehovah hath been unto me in the evening, before the coming in of the escaped one, and He openeth my mouth till the coming in unto me in the morning, and opened is my mouth, and I have not been silent again.

⁹ `And I hear the voice of his words, and when I hear the voice of his words, then I have been in a trance on my face, and my face is to the earth;

¹⁰ And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `O, my Lord, I am not a man of words, either yesterday, or before, or since Thy speaking unto Thy servant, for I am slow of mouth, and slow of tongue.'

¹³ and he saith, `O, my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand Thou dost send.'

¹⁴ And He saith, `No, for I am Prince of Jehovah's host; now I have come;' and Joshua falleth on his face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and saith to Him, `What is my Lord speaking unto His servant?'

¹³ And Gideon saith unto him, `O, my lord—and Jehovah is with us! —and why hath all this found us? and where are all His wonders which our fathers recounted to us, saying, Hath not Jehovah brought us up out of Egypt? and now Jehovah hath left us, and doth give us into the hand of Midian.'

¹⁵ And he saith unto him, `O, my lord, wherewith do I save Israel? lo, my chief is weak in Manasseh, and I the least in the house of my father.'

⁸ And Manoah maketh entreaty unto Jehovah, and saith, `O, my Lord, the man of God whom Thou didst send, let him come in, I pray thee, again unto us, and direct us what we do to the youth who is born.'

¹⁸ for, in abundance of wisdom is abundance of sadness, and he who addeth knowledge addeth pain.'

⁷ and he striketh against my mouth, and saith: `Lo, this hath stricken against thy lips, And turned aside is thine iniquity, And thy sin is covered.'

²⁶ And above the expanse that is over their head, as an appearance of a sapphire stone, is the likeness of a throne, and on the likeness of the throne a likeness, as the appearance of man upon it from above.

²⁷ And in My speaking with thee, I do open thy mouth, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah; the hearer doth hear, and the forbearer doth forbear; for a rebellious house are they.

¹⁵ `Pierced hath been my spirit—I, Daniel—in the midst of the sheath, and the visions of my head trouble me;

¹⁵ `And it cometh to pass in my seeing—I, Daniel—the vision, that I require understanding, and lo, standing over-against me is as the appearance of a mighty one.

¹⁷ And he cometh in near my station, and at his coming in I have been afraid, and I fall on my face, and he saith unto me: Understand, son of man, for at the time of the end is the vision.

⁵ and I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a certain one clothed in linen, and his loins girt with pure gold of Uphaz, ⁶ and his body as a beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet as the aspect of bright brass, and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude.

⁸ and I have been left by myself, and I see this great appearance, and there hath been no power left in me, and my honour hath been turned in me to corruption, yea, I have not retained power. ⁹ `And I hear the voice of his words, and when I hear the voice of his words, then I have been in a trance on my face, and my face is to the earth;
¹⁰ and lo, a hand hath come against me, and shaketh me on my knees and the palms of my hands.

¹⁷ And how is the servant of this my lord able to speak with this my lord? as for me, henceforth there remaineth in me no power, yea, breath hath not been left in me. ¹⁸ `And he addeth, and striketh against me, as the appearance of a man, and strengtheneth me,

⁸ And I have heard, and I do not understand, and I say, `O my lord, what is the latter end of these?'

⁶⁴ and his mouth was opened presently, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising God.

¹⁵ for I will give to you a mouth and wisdom that all your opposers shall not be able to refute or resist.

²⁸ And Thomas answered and said to him, `My Lord and my God;'

⁷ but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made, ⁸ and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death—death even of a cross,

¹³ and in the midst of the seven lamp-stands, one like to a son of man, clothed to the foot, and girt round at the breast with a golden girdle,

²⁰ and ye have said also, Lo, thy servant Jacob is behind us;' for he said, `I pacify his face with the present which is going before me, and afterwards I see his face; it may be he lifteth up my face;'

¹⁰ and they see the God of Israel, and under His feet is as the white work of the sapphire, and as the substance of the heavens for purity; ¹¹ and unto those of the sons of Israel who are near He hath not put forth His hand, and they see God, and eat and drink.

²⁰ He saith also, `Thou art unable to see My face, for man doth not see Me, and live;'

²² And Gideon seeth that He is a messenger of Jehovah, and Gideon saith, `Alas, Lord Jehovah! because that I have seen a messenger of Jehovah face to face!'

²¹ and the messenger of Jehovah hath not added again to appear unto Manoah, and unto his wife, then hath Manoah known that He is a messenger of Jehovah. ²² And Manoah saith unto his wife, `We certainly die, for we have seen God.' <sup>23</sup> And his wife saith to him, `If Jehovah were desirous to put us to death, He had not received from our hands burnt-offering and present, nor shewed us all these things, nor as at this time caused us to hear anything like this.'

¹ In the year of the death of king Uzziah—I see the Lord, sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and His train is filling the temple. ² Seraphs are standing above it: six wings hath each one; with two each covereth its face, and with two each covereth its feet, and with two each flieth. ³ And this one hath called unto that, and hath said: `Holy, Holy, Holy, is Jehovah of Hosts, The fulness of all the earth is His glory.' <sup>4</sup> And the posts of the thresholds are moved by the voice of him who is calling, and the house is full of smoke.
<sup>5</sup> And I say, `Woe to me, for I have been silent, For a man—unclean of lips am I, And in midst of a people unclean of lips I am dwelling, Because the King, Jehovah of Hosts, have my eyes seen.'

⁴³ He saith to them, `How then doth David in the Spirit call him lord, saying, ⁴⁴ The Lord said to my lord, Sit at my right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?

³⁶ for David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on My right hand, till I place thine enemies—thy footstool;

¹⁸ God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father—he did declare.

¹⁵ And David seeth that Saul hath come out to seek his life, and David is in the wilderness of Ziph, in a forest.

⁵ I might harden you with my mouth, And the moving of my lips might be sparing.

⁶ In the abundance of power doth He strive with me? No! surely He putteth it in me.

³ Strengthen ye the feeble hands, Yea, the stumbling knees strengthen. ⁴ Say to the hastened of heart, `Be strong, Fear not, lo, your God; vengeance cometh, The recompence of God, He Himself doth come and save you.'

¹⁰ and lo, a hand hath come against me, and shaketh me on my knees and the palms of my hands.

³² and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.'

⁴³ And there appeared to him a messenger from heaven strengthening him;

²³ And having made some stay he went forth, going through in order the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

⁹ and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me: ¹⁰ wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses—for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;

¹⁶ that He may give to you, according to the riches of His glory, with might to be strengthened through His Spirit, in regard to the inner man,

¹³ For all things I have strength, in Christ's strengthening me;

¹¹ in all might being made mighty according to the power of His glory, to all endurance and long-suffering with joy.

⁶ be strong and courageous, for thou—thou dost cause this people to inherit the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them. ⁷ `Only, be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded thee; thou dost not turn aside from it right or left, so that thou dost act wisely in every place whither thou goest;

⁹ `Have not I commanded thee? be strong and courageous; be not terrified nor affrighted, for with thee is Jehovah thy God in every place whither thou goest.'

²³ And Jehovah saith to him, `Peace to thee; fear not; thou dost not die.'

⁹ And Eli saith to Samuel, `Go, lie down, and it hath been, if He doth call unto thee, that thou hast said, Speak, Jehovah, for Thy servant is hearing;' and Samuel goeth and lieth down in his place. <sup>10</sup> And Jehovah cometh, and stationeth Himself, and calleth as time by time, `Samuel, Samuel;' and Samuel saith, `Speak, for Thy servant is hearing.'

³ In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul with strength.

¹ And now, thus said Jehovah, Thy Creator, O Jacob, and thy Fashioner, O Israel, Be not afraid, for I have redeemed thee, I have called on thy name—thou art Mine. ² When thou passest into waters, I am with thee, And into floods, they do not overflow thee, When thou goest into fire, thou art not burnt, And a flame doth not burn against thee.

²³ at the commencement of thy supplications hath the word come forth, and I have come to declare it, for thou art greatly desired, and understand thou concerning the matter, and consider concerning the appearance.

¹¹ `And he saith unto me: Daniel, man greatly desired, attend to the words that I am speaking unto thee, and stand on thy station, for now I have been sent unto thee. `And when he speaketh with me this word, I have stood trembling. ¹² And he saith unto me: Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that thou didst give thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words have been heard, and I have come because of thy words.

⁴ And now, be strong, O Zerubbabel, An affirmation of Jehovah, And be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, And be strong, all ye people of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah, And do ye—(for I am with you, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts) —

⁹ Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Let your hands be strong, Ye who are hearing in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets, That in the day the house of Jehovah of Hosts Hath been founded, the temple is to be built.

¹³ And it hath come to pass, As ye have been a reviling among nations, O house of Judah, and house of Israel, So I save you, and ye have been a blessing, Do not fear, let your hands be strong.

³⁶ and as they are speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, `Peace—to you;' <sup>37</sup> and being amazed, and becoming affrighted, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit. <sup>38</sup> And he said to them, `Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings come up in your hearts?

³ therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'

⁵ And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,

³⁶ The Jews, therefore, said, `Lo, how he was loving him!'

²⁷ `Peace I leave to you; my peace I give to you, not according as the world doth give do I give to you; let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid;

⁹ According as the Father did love me, I also loved you, remain in my love; ¹⁰ if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love; ¹¹ these things I have spoken to you, that my joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full. ¹² `This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you; ¹³ greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends; ¹⁴ ye are my friends, if ye may do whatever I command you;

³³ these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage—I have overcome the world.'

²⁶ Jesus, therefore, having seen his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, `Woman, lo, thy son;'

¹³ Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;

⁹ and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:

¹⁰ As to the rest, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might;

¹ Thou, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus,

³⁶ And a messenger of Jehovah goeth out, and smiteth in the camp of Asshur a hundred and eighty and five thousand; and men rise early in the morning, and lo, all of them are dead corpses.

⁶ `After this I was seeing, and lo, another like a leopard, and it hath four wings of a fowl on its back, and four heads hath the beast, and dominion is given to it.

⁵ `And I have been considering, and lo, a young he-goat hath come from the west, over the face of the whole earth, whom none is touching in the earth; as to the young he-goat, a conspicuous horn is between its eyes. <sup>6</sup> And it cometh unto the ram possessing the two horns, that I had seen standing before the stream, and runneth unto it in the fury of its power. <sup>7</sup> And I have seen it coming near the ram, and it becometh embittered at it, and smiteth the ram, and breaketh its two horns, and there hath been no power in the ram to stand before it, and it casteth it to the earth, and trampleth it down, and there hath been no deliverer to the ram out of its power. <sup>8</sup> `And the young he-goat hath exerted itself very much, and when it is strong, broken hath been the great horn; and come up doth a vision of four in its place, at the four winds of the heavens.

²¹ And the young he-goat, the hairy one, is the king of Javan; and the great horn that is between its eyes is the first king;

¹³ `And the head of the kingdom of Persia is standing over-against me twenty and one days, and lo, Michael, first of the chief heads, hath come in to help me, and I have remained there near the kings of Persia;

² and, now, truth I declare to thee, Lo, yet three kings are standing for Persia, and the fourth doth become far richer than all, and according to his strength by his riches he stirreth up the whole, with the kingdom of Javan. ³ And a mighty king hath stood, and he hath ruled a great dominion, and hath done according to his will; ⁴ and according to his standing is his kingdom broken, and divided to the four winds of the heavens, and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion that he ruled, for his kingdom is plucked up—and for others apart from these.

²³ and presently there smote him a messenger of the Lord, because he did not give the glory to God, and having been eaten of worms, he expired.

²² They bring nigh, and declare to us that which doth happen, The first things—what they are declare ye, And we set our heart, and know their latter end, Or the coming things cause us to hear. ²³ Declare the things that are coming hereafter, And we know that ye are gods, Yea, ye may do good or do evil, And we look around and see it together.

⁸ He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who have ears. ⁹ All the nations have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declareth this, And former things causeth us to hear? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, `Truth.'

²⁵ And thou dost know, and dost consider wisely, from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem till Messiah the Leader is seven weeks, and sixty and two weeks: the broad place hath been built again, and the rampart, even in the distress of the times.

¹ `And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, my standing is for a strengthener, and for a stronghold to him; <sup>2</sup> and, now, truth I declare to thee, Lo, yet three kings are standing for Persia, and the fourth doth become far richer than all, and according to his strength by his riches he stirreth up the whole, with the kingdom of Javan. <sup>3</sup> And a mighty king hath stood, and he hath ruled a great dominion, and hath done according to his will; <sup>4</sup> and according to his standing is his kingdom broken, and divided to the four winds of the heavens, and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion that he ruled, for his kingdom is plucked up—and for others apart from these.
<sup>5</sup> `And a king of the south—even of his princes—doth become strong, and doth prevail against him, and hath ruled; a great dominion is his dominion. ⁶ `And at the end of years they do join themselves together, and a daughter of the king of the south doth come in unto the king of the north to do upright things; and she doth not retain the power of the arm; and he doth not stand, nor his arm; and she is given up, she, and those bringing her in, and her child, and he who is strengthening her in these times. <sup>7</sup> `And one hath stood up from a branch of her roots, in his station, and he cometh in unto the bulwark, yea, he cometh into a stronghold of the king of the south, and hath wrought against them, and hath done mightily; ⁸ and also their gods, with their princes, with their desirable vessels of silver and gold, into captivity he bringeth into Egypt; and he doth stand more years than the king of the north. ⁹ `And the king of the south hath come into the kingdom, and turned back unto his own land; ¹⁰ and his sons stir themselves up, and have gathered a multitude of great forces, and he hath certainly come in, and overflowed, and passed through, and he turneth back, and they stir themselves up unto his stronghold. ¹¹ And the king of the south doth become embittered, and hath gone forth and fought with him, with the king of the north, and hath caused a great multitude to stand, and the multitude hath been given into his hand, ¹² and he hath carried away the multitude, his heart is high, and he hath caused myriads to fall, and he doth not become strong.

⁷ For the Lord Jehovah doth nothing, Except He hath revealed His counsel unto His servants the prophets.

¹⁵ and to this agree the words of the prophets, as it hath been written:

¹⁸ `Known from the ages to God are all His works;
