⁹ and so that ye prolong days on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to give to them and to their seed—a land flowing with milk and honey. ¹⁰ `For the land whither thou art going in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt whence ye have come out, where thou sowest thy seed, and hast watered with thy foot, as a garden of the green herb; ¹¹ but the land whither ye are passing over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys; of the rain of the heavens it drinketh water; ¹² a land which Jehovah thy God is searching; continually are the eyes of Jehovah thy God upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the latter end of the year.

²⁴ `And the sons come in, and possess the land, and Thou humblest before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and givest them into their hand, and their kings, and the peoples of the land, to do with them according to their pleasure. ²⁵ And they capture fenced cities, and fat ground, and possess houses full of all good, digged-wells, vineyards, and olive-yards, and fruit-trees in abundance, and they eat, and are satisfied, and become fat, and delight themselves in Thy great goodness.

⁶ In that day I did lift up My hand to them, To bring them forth from the land of Egypt, Unto a land that I spied out for them, Flowing with milk and honey, A beauty it is to all the lands,

¹⁴ Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, and rams, sons of Bashan, And he-goats, with fat of kidneys of wheat; And of the blood of the grape thou dost drink wine!

¹¹ and Solomon hath given to Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat, food for his house, and twenty cors of beaten oil; thus doth Solomon give to Hiram year by year.

¹⁶ He causeth him to eat of the fat of wheat, And with honey from a rock I satisfy thee!

¹⁴ Who is making thy border peace, With the fat of wheat He satisfieth Thee.

²³ And it hath come to pass, in that day, Every place where there are a thousand vines, At a thousand silverlings, Is for briers and for thorns.

¹⁷ And it hath consumed thy harvest and thy bread, They consume thy sons, and thy daughters, It consumeth thy flock, and thy herd, It consumeth thy vine, and thy fig-tree, It maketh poor thy fenced cities, In which thou art trusting—by the sword.

¹⁷ Judah and the land of Israel—they are thy merchants, For wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, And honey, and oil, and balm, They have given out thy merchandise.

⁸ And she knew not that I had given to her, The corn, and the new wine, and the oil. Yea, silver I did multiply to her, And the gold they prepared for Baal.

²² And the earth doth answer the corn, And the new wine, and the oil, And they answer Jezreel.

⁴ And they have sat each under his vine, And under his fig-tree, And there is none troubling, For the mouth of Jehovah of Hosts hath spoken.

¹⁷ Though the fig-tree doth not flourish, And there is no produce among vines, Failed hath the work of the olive, And fields have not yielded food, Cut off from the fold hath been the flock, And there is no herd in the stalls.

⁹ `There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these—what are they to so many?'

²⁵ Iron and brass are thy shoes, And as thy days—thy strength.

⁸ and speak unto them, saying, `With great riches turn ye back unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment; divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.'

¹⁴ `And lo, in mine affliction, I have prepared for the house of Jehovah of gold talents a hundred thousand, and of silver a thousand thousand talents; and of brass and of iron there is no weighing, for in abundance it hath been, and wood and stones I have prepared, and to them thou dost add.

² Iron from the dust is taken, And from the firm stone brass.

¹¹ and houses full of all good things which thou hast not filled, and wells digged which thou hast not digged, vineyards and olive-yards which thou hast not planted, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied; ¹² `Take heed to thyself lest thou forget Jehovah who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;

¹⁴ yea, because, who am I, and who are my people, that we retain power to offer thus willingly? but of Thee is the whole, and out of Thy hand we have given to Thee;

² Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His benefits,

⁹ Honour Jehovah from thy substance, And from the beginning of all thine increase;

¹⁹ And having commanded the multitudes to recline upon the grass, and having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he did bless, and having broken, he gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes,

²³ (and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having given thanks),

⁶ He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard it, and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it . He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God.

³¹ Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;

¹⁸ in every thing give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.

⁴ because every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, with thanksgiving being received, ⁵ for it is sanctified through the word of God and intercession.

²¹ They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt,

³² For the turning of the simple slayeth them, And the security of the foolish destroyeth them.

⁹ Lest I become satiated, and have denied, And have said, `Who is Jehovah?' And lest I be poor, and have stolen, And have laid hold of the name of my God.

¹⁰ And I clothe thee with embroidery, And I shoe thee with badger's skin, And I gird thee with fine linen, And I cover thee with figured silk. ¹¹ And I adorn thee with adornments, And I give bracelets for thy hands, And a chain for thy neck. ¹² And I give a ring for thy nose, And rings for thine ears, And a crown of beauty on thy head. ¹³ And thou dost put on gold and silver, And thy clothing is fine linen, And figured silk and embroidery, Fine flour, and honey, and oil thou hast eaten, And thou art very very beautiful, And dost go prosperously to the kingdom. ¹⁴ And go forth doth thy name among nations, Because of thy beauty—for it is complete, In My honour that I have set upon thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
¹⁵ And thou dost trust in thy beauty, And goest a-whoring because of thy renown, And dost pour out thy whoredoms On every passer by—to him it is.

⁸ And she knew not that I had given to her, The corn, and the new wine, and the oil. Yea, silver I did multiply to her, And the gold they prepared for Baal. ⁹ Therefore do I turn back, And I have taken My corn in its season, And My new wine in its appointed time, And I have taken away My wool and My flax, covering her nakedness.

⁴⁷ `Because that thou hast not served Jehovah thy God with joy, and with gladness of heart, because of the abundance of all things—

¹⁵ And Jeshurun waxeth fat, and doth kick: Thou hast been fat—thou hast been thick, Thou hast been covered. And he leaveth God who made him, And dishonoureth the Rock of his salvation.

⁴ I made great my works, I builded for me houses, I planted for me vineyards.

¹⁴ Who is saying, `I build for myself a large house, And airy upper chambers,' And he hath cut out for himself its windows, Ceiled with cedar, and painted with vermilion. ¹⁵ Dost thou reign, because thou art fretting thyself in cedar? Thy father—did he not eat and drink? Yea, he did judgment and righteousness, Then it is well with him.

³ who are saying, It is not near—to build houses, it is the pot, and we the flesh.

⁵ I—I have known thee in a wilderness, In a land of droughts. ⁶ According to their feedings they are satiated, They have been satiated, And their heart is lifted up, Therefore they have forgotten Me,

¹¹ Therefore, because of your trampling on the poor, And the tribute of corn ye take from him, Houses of hewn work ye have built, And ye do not dwell in them, Desirable vineyards ye have planted, And ye do not drink their wine.

⁴ Is it time for you—you! To dwell in your covered houses, And this house to lie waste?

²⁸ in like manner also, as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;

⁵ And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there hath been sheep and oxen and tents;

³ and his substance is seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred pairs of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a service very abundant; and that man is greater than any of the sons of the east.

⁶ Only, in an image doth each walk habitually, Only, in vain, they are disquieted, He heapeth up and knoweth not who gathereth them.

¹³ And a certain one said to him, out of the multitude, `Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.' <sup>14</sup> And he said to him, `Man, who set me a judge or a divider over you?' ¹⁵ And he said unto them, `Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of one's goods is his life.' <sup>16</sup> And he spake a simile unto them, saying, `Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well; ¹⁷ and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where I shall gather together my fruits? ¹⁸ and he said, This I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and greater ones I will build, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things, ¹⁹ and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry. ²⁰ `And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare—to whom shall they be? ²¹ so is he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.'

¹¹ `Take heed to thyself, lest thou forget Jehovah thy God so as not to keep His commands, and His judgments, and His statutes which I am commanding thee to-day;

²⁰ so that his heart is not high above his brethren, and so as not to turn aside from the command, right or left, so that he prolongeth days over his kingdom, he and his sons, in the midst of Israel.

¹⁶ And at his being strong his heart hath been high unto destruction, and he trespasseth against Jehovah his God, and goeth in unto the temple of Jehovah to make perfume upon the altar of perfume.

²⁵ and Hezekiah hath not returned according to the deed done unto him, for his heart hath been lofty, and there is wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem;

⁶ And have not said, Where is Jehovah, Who bringeth us up out of the land of Egypt, Who leadeth us in a wilderness, In a land of deserts and pits, In a dry land, and of death-shade, In a land—none hath passed through it, Nor dwelt hath man there?'

³¹ O generation, see ye the word of Jehovah: A wilderness have I been to Israel? A land of thick darkness? Wherefore have My people said, `We mourned, We come not in again unto Thee.'

⁷ for who doth make thee to differ? and what hast thou, that thou didst not receive? and if thou didst also receive, why dost thou glory as not having received? ⁸ Already ye are having been filled, already ye were rich, apart from us ye did reign, and I would also ye did reign, that we also with you may reign together,

⁵ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Pass over before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel, and thy rod with which thou hast smitten the River take in thy hand, and thou hast gone: ⁶ Lo, I am standing before thee there on the rock in Horeb, and thou hast smitten on the rock, and waters have come out from it, and the people have drunk.' And Moses doth so before the eyes of the elders of Israel,

¹¹ and Moses lifteth up his hand, and smiteth the rock with his rod twice; and much water cometh out, and the company drink, also their beasts.

⁶ And Jehovah sendeth among the people the burning serpents, and they bite the people, and much people of Israel die;

¹⁹ `And we journey from Horeb, and go through all that great and fearful wilderness which ye have seen—the way of the hill-country of the Amorite, as Jehovah our God hath commanded us, and we come in unto Kadesh-Barnea.

¹³ He maketh him ride on high places of earth, And he eateth increase of the fields, And He maketh him suck honey from a rock, And oil out of the flint of a rock;

¹⁵ He cleaveth rocks in a wilderness, And giveth drink—as the great deep. ¹⁶ And bringeth out streams from a rock, And causeth waters to come down as rivers.

⁴¹ He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places—a river.

⁸ He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!

⁷ And the mirage hath become a pond, And the thirsty land fountains of waters, In the habitation of dragons, Its place of couching down, a court for reed and rush.

¹² Leading by the right hand of Moses, the arm of His glory, Cleaving waters from before them, To make to Himself a name age-during. ¹³ Leading them through the depths, As a horse in a plain they stumble not. ¹⁴ As a beast into a valley goeth down, The Spirit of Jehovah causeth him to rest, So hast Thou led Thy people, To make to Thyself a glorious name.

⁵ I—I have known thee in a wilderness, In a land of droughts.

⁴ and all the same spiritual drink did drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ;

¹⁵ And the sons of Israel see, and say one unto another, `What is it?' for they have not known what it is; and Moses saith unto them, `It is the bread which Jehovah hath given to you for food.

³ `And He doth humble thee, and cause thee to hunger and doth cause thee to eat the manna (which thou hast not known, even thy fathers have not known), in order to cause thee to know that not by bread alone doth man live, but by every produce of the mouth of Jehovah man doth live.

⁵ Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Like these good figs so do I acknowledge The removed of Judah—that I sent from this place, To the land of the Chaldeans—for good. ⁶ And I have set Mine eyes on them for good, And have brought them back to this land, And built them up, and I throw not down, And have planted them, and pluck not up.

²⁶ Good! when one doth stay and stand still For the salvation of Jehovah. ²⁷ Good for a man that he beareth a yoke in his youth. ²⁸ He sitteth alone, and is silent, For He hath laid it upon him. ²⁹ He putteth in the dust his mouth, if so be there is hope. ³⁰ He giveth to his smiter the cheek, He is filled with reproach. ³¹ For the Lord doth not cast off to the age. ³² For though He afflicted, yet He hath pitied, According to the abundance of His kindness. ³³ For He hath not afflicted with His heart, Nor doth He grieve the sons of men.

²⁸ And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;

¹⁷ for the momentary light matter of our tribulation, more and more exceedingly an age-during weight of glory doth work out for us—

¹² Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.

¹⁷ `When thou sayest in thine heart, These nations are more numerous than I, how am I able to dispossess them? —

⁴ `Thou dost not speak in thy heart (in Jehovah thy God's driving them away from before thee), saying, For my righteousness hath Jehovah brought me in to possess this land, seeing for the wickedness of these nations is Jehovah dispossessing them from thy presence;

⁸ For he saith, `Are not my princes altogether kings? <sup>9</sup> Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus? <sup>10</sup> As my hand hath got to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their graven images, Greater than Jerusalem and than Samaria, <sup>11</sup> Do I not—as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things? <sup>12</sup> And it hath come to pass, When the Lord doth fulfil all His work In mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I see concerning the fruit of the greatness Of the heart of the king of Asshur. And concerning the glory of the height of his eyes. <sup>13</sup> For he hath said, `By the power of my hand I have wrought, And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove borders of the peoples, And their chief ones I have spoiled, And I put down as a mighty one the inhabitants, ¹⁴ And my hand as to a nest Getteth to the wealth of the peoples, And as a gathering of forsaken eggs All the earth I—I have gathered, And there hath not been one moving wing, Or opening mouth, or whispering.'

³⁰ the king hath answered and said, Is not this that great Babylon that I have built, for the house of the kingdom, in the might of my strength, and for the glory of mine honour?

⁸ And Ephraim saith: `Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself, All my labours—they find not against me iniquity that is sin.'

¹⁶ Therefore he doth sacrifice to his net, And doth make perfume to his drag, For by them is his portion fertile, and his food fat.

⁷ for who doth make thee to differ? and what hast thou, that thou didst not receive? and if thou didst also receive, why dost thou glory as not having received?

⁸ but because of Jehovah's loving you, and because of His keeping the oath which He hath sworn to your fathers, hath Jehovah brought you out by a strong hand, and doth ransom you from a house of servants, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

¹² `And it hath been, because ye hear these judgments, and have kept, and done them, that Jehovah thy God hath kept to thee the covenant and the kindness which He hath sworn to thy fathers,

¹ A Song of the Ascents, by Solomon. If Jehovah doth not build the house, In vain have its builders laboured at it, If Jehovah doth not watch a city, In vain hath a watchman waked. ² Vain for you who are rising early, Who delay sitting, eating the bread of griefs, So He giveth to His beloved one sleep.

¹ By David. Blessed is Jehovah my rock, who is teaching My hands for war, my fingers for battle.

²² The blessing of Jehovah—it maketh rich, And He addeth no grief with it.

²⁶ I have caused to testify against you this day the heavens and the earth, that ye do perish utterly hastily from off the land whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it; ye do not prolong days upon it, but are utterly destroyed;

⁵⁸ `If thou dost not observe to do all the words of this law which are written in this book, to fear this honoured and fearful name—Jehovah thy God— <sup>59</sup> then hath Jehovah made wonderful thy strokes, and the strokes of thy seed—great strokes, and stedfast, and evil sicknesses, and stedfast. <sup>60</sup> `And He hath brought back on thee all the diseases of Egypt, of the presence of which thou hast been afraid, and they have cleaved to thee; ⁶¹ also every sickness and every stroke which is not written in the book of this law; Jehovah doth cause them to go up upon thee till thou art destroyed, ⁶² and ye have been left with few men, instead of which ye have been as stars of the heavens for multitude, because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy God. ⁶³ `And it hath been, as Jehovah hath rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so doth Jehovah rejoice over you to destroy you, and to lay you waste; and ye have been pulled away from off the ground whither thou art going in to possess it; <sup>64</sup> and Jehovah hath scattered thee among all the peoples, from the end of the earth even unto the end of the earth; and thou hast served there other gods which thou hast not known, thou and thy fathers—wood and stone. <sup>65</sup> `And among those nations thou dost not rest, yea, there is no resting-place for the sole of thy foot, and Jehovah hath given to thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and grief of soul; ⁶⁶ and thy life hath been hanging in suspense before thee, and thou hast been afraid by night and by day, and dost not believe in thy life; ⁶⁷ in the morning thou sayest, O that it were evening! and in the evening thou sayest, O that it were morning! from the fear of thy heart, with which thou art afraid, and from the sight of thine eyes which thou seest. ⁶⁸ `And Jehovah hath brought thee back to Egypt with ships, by a way of which I said to thee, Thou dost not add any more to see it, and ye have sold yourselves there to thine enemies, for men-servants and for maid-servants, and there is no buyer.'

²⁵ `And they have said, Because that they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah, God of their fathers, which He made with them in His bringing them out of the land of Egypt, ²⁶ and they go and serve other gods, and bow themselves to them—gods which they have not known, and which He hath not apportioned to them; ²⁷ and the anger of Jehovah burneth against that land, to bring in on it all the reviling that is written in this book, ²⁸ and Jehovah doth pluck them from off their ground in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath, and doth cast them unto another land, as at this day.

¹⁸ I have declared to you this day, that ye do certainly perish, ye do not prolong days on the ground which thou art passing over the Jordan to go in thither to possess it. ¹⁹ `I have caused to testify against you to-day the heavens and the earth; life and death I have set before thee, the blessing and the reviling; and thou hast fixed on life, so that thou dost live, thou and thy seed,

¹³ know certainly that Jehovah your God is not continuing to dispossess these nations from before you, and they have been to you for a gin, and for a snare, and for a scourge, in your sides, and for thorns in your eyes, till ye perish from off this good ground which Jehovah your God hath given to you.

²⁵ and if ye really do evil, both ye and your king are consumed.'

² in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, have understood by books the number of the years, (in that a word of Jehovah hath been unto Jeremiah the prophet,) concerning the fulfilling of the wastes of Jerusalem—seventy years;

² Only you I have known of all families of the land, Therefore I charge on you all your iniquities.

¹⁸ Even their silver, even their gold, Is not able to deliver them in a day of the wrath of Jehovah, And in the fire of His jealousy consumed is the whole land, For only a hastened end doth He make Of all the inhabitants of the land!

⁶ I have cut off nations, Desolated have been their chief ones, I have laid waste their out-places without any passing by, Destroyed have been their cities, Without man, without inhabitant.

⁴⁷ `And that servant, who having known his lord's will, and not having prepared, nor having gone according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes, ⁴⁸ and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few; and to every one to whom much was given, much shall be required from him; and to whom they did commit much, more abundantly they will ask of him.

³ No—I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye even so shall perish.

⁵ No—I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye in like manner shall perish.'

¹⁶ and they are mocking at the messengers of God, and despising His words, and acting deceitfully with His prophets, till the going up of the fury of Jehovah against His people—till there is no healing. ¹⁷ And He causeth to go up against them the king of the Chaldeans, and he slayeth their chosen ones by the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and hath had no pity on young man and virgin, old man and very aged—the whole He hath given into his hand.

¹¹ and all Israel have transgressed Thy law, to turn aside so as not to hearken to Thy voice; and poured on us is the execration, and the oath, that is written in the law of Moses, servant of God, because we have sinned against Him. ¹² `And He confirmeth His words that He hath spoken against us, and against our judges who have judged us, to bring in upon us great evil, in that it hath not been done under the whole heavens as it hath been done in Jerusalem,
