And all the people answer and say, `Good is the word.' ²⁵ And Elijah saith to the prophets of Baal, `Choose for you the one bullock, and prepare first, for ye are the multitude, and call ye in the name of your god, and place no fire.' <sup>26</sup> And they take the bullock that one gave to them, and prepare, and call in the name of Baal from the morning even till the noon, saying, `O Baal, answer us!' and there is no voice, and there is none answering; and they leap on the altar that one had made. ²⁷ And it cometh to pass, at noon, that Elijah playeth on them, and saith, `Call with a loud voice, for he is a god, for he is meditating, or pursuing, or on a journey; it may be he is asleep, an doth awake.' <sup>28</sup> And they call with a loud voice, and cut themselves, according to their ordinance, with swords and with spears, till a flowing of blood is on them; <sup>29</sup> and it cometh to pass, at the passing by of the noon, that they feign themselves prophets till the going up of the present, and there is no voice, and there is none answering, and there is none attending. <sup>30</sup> And Elijah saith to all the people, `Come nigh unto me;' and all the people come nigh unto him, and he repaireth the altar of Jehovah that is broken down; ³¹ and Elijah taketh twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of Jehovah was, saying, `Israel is thy name;' <sup>32</sup> and he buildeth with the stones an altar, in the name of Jehovah, and maketh a trench, as about the space of two measures of seed, round about the altar. <sup>33</sup> And he arrangeth the wood, and cutteth in pieces the bullock, and placeth it on the wood, and saith, `Fill ye four pitchers of water, and pour on the burnt-offering, and on the wood; ³⁴ and he saith, `Do it a second time;' and they do it a second time; and he saith, `Do it a third time;' and they do it a third time; ³⁵ and the water goeth round about the altar, and also, the trench he hath filled with water. ³⁶ And it cometh to pass, at the going up of the evening- present, that Elijah the prophet cometh nigh and saith, `Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, to-day let it be known that Thou art God in Israel, and I Thy servant, that by Thy word I have done the whole of these things; <sup>37</sup> answer me, O Jehovah, answer me, and this people doth know that Thou art Jehovah God; and Thou hast turned their heart backward.' <sup>38</sup> And there falleth a fire of Jehovah, and consumeth the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and the water that is in the trench it hath licked up. <sup>39</sup> And all the people see, and fall on their faces, and say, `Jehovah, He is the God, Jehovah, He is the God.' ⁴⁰ And Elijah saith to them, `Catch ye the prophets of Baal; let not a man escape of them;' and they catch them, and Elijah bringeth them down unto the stream Kishon, and doth slaughter them there.
<sup>41</sup> And Elijah saith to Ahab, `Go up, eat and drink, because of the sound of the noise of the shower.' ⁴² And Ahab goeth up to eat, and to drink, and Elijah hath gone up unto the top of Carmel, and he stretcheth himself out on the earth, and he placeth his face between his knees, ⁴³ and saith unto his young man, `Go up, I pray thee, look attentively the way of the sea;' and he goeth up and looketh attentively, and saith, `There is nothing;' and he saith, `Turn back,' seven times. <sup>44</sup> And it cometh to pass, at the seventh, that he saith, `Lo, a little thickness as the palm of a man is coming up out of the sea.' And he saith, `Go up, say unto Ahab, `Bind—and go down, and the shower doth not restrain thee.' ⁴⁵ And it cometh to pass, in the meantime, that the heavens have become black—thick clouds and wind—and the shower is great; and Ahab rideth, and goeth to Jezreel, ⁴⁶ and the hand of Jehovah hath been on Elijah, and he girdeth up his loins, and runneth before Ahab, till thine entering Jezreel.

¹¹ And Naaman is wroth, and goeth on, and saith, `Lo, I said, Unto me he doth certainly come out, and hath stood and called in the name of Jehovah his God, and waved his hand over the place, and recovered the leper.

² and sendeth Eliakim, who is over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covering themselves with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet, son of Amoz, ³ and they say unto him, `Thus said Hezekiah—A day of distress, and rebuke, and despising is this day; for come have sons unto the birth, and power there is not to bring forth. <sup>4</sup> `It may be Jehovah thy God doth hear all the words of the chief of the butlers with which the king of Asshur his lord hath sent him to reproach the living God, and hath decided concerning the words that Jehovah thy God hath heard, and thou hast lifted up prayer for the remnant that is found.'

²² Come not against Mine anointed ones, And against My prophets do not evil.

¹⁹ That hath not accepted the person of princes, Nor hath known the rich before the poor, For a work of His hands are all of them.

⁸ And now, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go ye unto My servant Job, and ye have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for you; and Job My servant doth pray for you, for surely his face I accept, so as not to do with you folly, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.

¹⁴ The secret of Jehovah is for those fearing Him, And His covenant—to cause them to know.

⁹ That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac, ¹⁰ And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel—a covenant age-during, ¹¹ Saying, `To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,' <sup>12</sup> In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it. <sup>13</sup> And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people. <sup>14</sup> He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings. <sup>15</sup> `Strike not against Mine anointed, And to My prophets do not evil.'

¹¹ And Jehovah saith unto me: Thou dost not pray for this people for good,

¹ And Jehovah saith unto me: Though Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My soul is not toward this people, Send from before My face, and they go out.

¹⁸ `And, if they be prophets, and if a word of Jehovah be with them, let them intercede, I pray you, with Jehovah of Hosts, so that the vessels that are left in the house of Jehovah, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, have not gone into Babylon.

¹⁸ In My saying to the wicked: Thou dost surely die; and thou hast not warned him, nor hast spoken to warn the wicked from his wicked way, so that he doth live; he—the wicked—in his iniquity dieth, and his blood from thy hand I require.

⁸ In My saying to the wicked, O wicked one—thou dost surely die, And thou hast not spoken to warn the wicked from his way, He—the wicked—in his iniquity doth die, And his blood from thy hand I require.

¹⁴ And in My saying to the wicked: Thou surely diest, And—he hath turned back from his sin, And hath done judgment and righteousness, ¹⁵ (The pledge the wicked restoreth, plunder he repayeth,) In the statutes of life he hath walked, So as not to do perversity, He surely liveth—he doth not die. ¹⁶ None of his sin that he hath sinned is remembered to him, Judgment and righteousness he hath done, He doth surely live.

⁴ he who is speaking in an unknown tongue, himself doth edify, and he who is prophesying, an assembly doth edify;

¹ In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,

⁴ honourable is the marriage in all, and the bed undefiled, and whoremongers and adulterers God shall judge.

¹⁴ is any infirm among you? let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil, in the name of the Lord, ¹⁵ and the prayer of the faith shall save the distressed one, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if sins he may have committed, they shall be forgiven to him. ¹⁶ Be confessing to one another the trespasses, and be praying for one another, that ye may be healed; very strong is a working supplication of a righteous man;

¹⁶ If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give to him life to those sinning not unto death; there is sin to death, not concerning it do I speak that he may beseech;

⁵ and if any one may will to injure them, fire doth proceed out of their mouth, and doth devour their enemies, and if any one may will to injure them, thus it behoveth him to be killed. ⁶ These have authority to shut the heaven, that it may not rain rain in the days of their prophecy, and authority they have over the waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the land with every plague, as often as they may will.

¹⁸ And Pharaoh calleth for Abram, and saith, `What is this thou hast done to me? why hast thou not declared to me that she is thy wife?

¹⁰ And Abimelech saith, `What is this thou hast done to us? as a little thing one of the people had lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us guilt;'

⁷ and the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard, and the men grieve themselves, and it is very displeasing to them, for folly he hath done against Israel, to lie with the daughter of Jacob—and so it is not done.

²⁴ And it cometh to pass about three months after, that it is declared to Judah, saying, `Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath committed fornication; and also, lo, she hath conceived by fornication:' and Judah saith, `Bring her out—and she is burnt.'

²¹ And Moses saith unto Aaron, `What hath this people done to thee, that thou hast brought in upon it a great sin?'

³⁵ And Jehovah plagueth the people, because they made the calf which Aaron made.

¹⁰ `And a man who committeth adultery with a man's wife—who committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour—the adulterer and the adulteress are surely put to death.

²⁵ And Joshua saith, `What! thou hast troubled us! —Jehovah doth trouble thee this day;' and all Israel cast stones at him, and they burn them with fire, and they stone them with stones,

¹⁸ and he saith, `Why is this—my lord is pursuing after his servant? for what have I done, and what is in my hand evil? ¹⁹ And, now, let, I pray thee, my lord the king hear the words of his servant: if Jehovah hath moved thee against me, let Him accept a present; and if the sons of men—cursed are they before Jehovah, for they have cast me out to-day from being admitted into the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods.

⁵ And the anger of David burneth against the man exceedingly, and he saith unto Nathan, `Jehovah liveth, surely a son of death is the man who is doing this,

¹⁰ `And now, the sword doth not turn aside from thy house unto the age, because thou hast despised Me, and dost take the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be to thee for a wife; ¹¹ thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am raising up against thee evil, out of thy house, and have taken thy wives before thine eyes, and given to thy neighbour, and he hath lain with thy wives before the eyes of this sun;

¹² And she saith to him, `Nay, my brother, do not humble me, for it is not done so in Israel; do not this folly.

¹⁰ Whoso is causing the upright to err in an evil way, Into his own pit he doth fall, And the perfect do inherit good.

¹¹ For there is no acceptance of faces with God,

¹¹ whose mouth it behoveth to stop, who whole households do overturn, teaching what things it behoveth not, for filthy lucre's sake.

¹² and it hath come to pass that the Egyptians see thee, and they have said, `This is his wife,' and they have slain me, and thee they keep alive:

¹² and He saith, `Put not forth thine hand unto the youth, nor do anything to him, for now I have known that thou art fearing God, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, from Me.'

¹⁸ And Joseph saith unto them on the third day, `This do and live; God I fear!

¹⁵ the former governors who are before me have made themselves heavy on the people, and take of them in bread and wine, besides in silver forty shekels; also, their servants have ruled over the people—and I have not done so, because of the fear of God.

¹ A man there hath been in the land of Uz—Job his name—and that man hath been perfect and upright—both fearing God, and turning aside from evil.

²⁸ And He saith to man: —`Lo, fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to turn from evil is understanding.'

⁴ Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

¹ To the Overseer. —By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, `Fear of God is not before his eyes, ² For he made it smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated. ³ The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently—to do good. ⁴ Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'

⁷ Fear of Jehovah is a beginning of knowledge, Wisdom and instruction fools have despised!

⁵ Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest.

¹³ The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; Pride, and arrogance, and an evil way, And a froward mouth, I have hated.

⁶ In kindness and truth pardoned is iniquity, And in the fear of Jehovah Turn thou aside from evil.

¹⁸ There is no fear of God before their eyes.'

²⁹ And Abram and Nahor take to themselves wives; the name of Abram's wife is Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife is Milcah, daughter of Haran, father of Milcah, and father of Iscah.

¹³ say, I pray thee, thou art my sister, so that it is well with me because of thee, and my soul hath lived for thy sake.'

²² from all appearance of evil abstain ye;

¹ And Jehovah saith unto Abram, `Go for thyself, from thy land, and from thy kindred, and from the house of thy father, unto the land which I shew thee.

⁹ And Abram journeyeth, going on and journeying towards the south.

¹¹ and it cometh to pass as he hath drawn near to enter Egypt, that he saith unto Sarai his wife, `Lo, I pray thee, I have known that thou art a woman of beautiful appearance; <sup>12</sup> and it hath come to pass that the Egyptians see thee, and they have said, `This is his wife,' and they have slain me, and thee they keep alive: ¹³ say, I pray thee, thou art my sister, so that it is well with me because of thee, and my soul hath lived for thy sake.'
¹⁴ And it cometh to pass, at the entering of Abram into Egypt, that the Egyptians see the woman that she is exceeding fair; ¹⁵ and princes of Pharaoh see her, and praise her unto Pharaoh, and the woman is taken to Pharaoh's house; ¹⁶ and to Abram he hath done good because of her, and he hath sheep and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and handmaids, and she-asses, and camels. ¹⁷ And Jehovah plagueth Pharaoh and his house—great plagues—for the matter of Sarai, Abram's wife. ¹⁸ And Pharaoh calleth for Abram, and saith, `What is this thou hast done to me? why hast thou not declared to me that she is thy wife? ¹⁹ Why hast thou said, She is my sister, and I take her to myself for a wife? and now, lo, thy wife, take and go.' ²⁰ And Pharaoh chargeth men concerning him, and they send him away, and his wife, an all that he hath.

²¹ And Saul saith, `Blessed are ye of Jehovah, for ye have pity on me;

⁵ They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, `Who doth look at it?'

⁹ And Peter said unto her, `How was it agreed by you, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? lo, the feet of those who did bury thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee forth;'

³ and He said to him, Go forth out of thy land, and out of thy kindred, and come to a land that I shall shew thee. ⁴ `Then having come forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran, and from thence, after the death of his father, He did remove him to this land wherein ye now dwell, ⁵ and He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a footstep, and did promise to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him—he having no child.

⁸ By faith Abraham, being called, did obey, to go forth to the place that he was about to receive for an inheritance, and he went forth, not knowing whither he doth go;

¹⁶ and to Abram he hath done good because of her, and he hath sheep and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and handmaids, and she-asses, and camels.

² and Abraham saith concerning Sarah his wife, `She is my sister;' and Abimelech king of Gerar sendeth and taketh Sarah.

¹¹ And Abraham saith, `Because I said, `Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they have slain me for the sake of my wife;

⁹ Is not all the land before thee? be parted, I pray thee, from me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the right, then I to the left.'

¹⁰ and with us ye dwell, and the land is before you; dwell ye and trade in it, and have possessions in it.'

⁶ the land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land cause thy father and thy brethren to dwell—they dwell in the land of Goshen, and if thou hast known, and there are among them men of ability, then thou hast set them heads over the cattle I have.'

⁵ hath not he himself said to me, She is my sister! and she, even she herself, said, He is my brother; in the integrity of my heart, and in the innocency of my hands, I have done this.'

⁶⁵ and she saith unto the servant, `Who is this man who is walking in the field to meet us?' and the servant saith, `It is my lord;' and she taketh the veil, and covereth herself.

³ And Joab saith, `Jehovah doth add to His people as they are a hundred times; are they not, my lord, O king, all of them to my lord for servants? why doth my lord seek this? why is he for a cause of guilt to Israel?' ⁴ And the word of the king is severe against Joab, and Joab goeth out, and goeth up and down in all Israel, and cometh in to Jerusalem. ⁵ And Joab giveth the account of the numbering of the people unto David, and all Israel is a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand, each drawing sword, and Judah is four hundred and seventy thousand, each drawing sword. ⁶ And Levi and Benjamin he hath not numbered in their midst, for the word of the king was abominable with Joab.

⁸ Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee, Give reproof to the wise, and he loveth thee. ⁹ Give to the wise, and he is wiser still, Make known to the righteous, And he increaseth learning.

¹ Whoso is loving instruction, is loving knowledge, And whoso is hating reproof is brutish.

¹² A ring of gold, and an ornament of pure gold, Is the wise reprover to an attentive ear.

⁵ Better is open reproof than hidden love.

⁶ And the chief of the company draweth near to him, and saith to him, `What—to thee, O sleeper? rise, call unto thy God, it may be God doth bethink himself of us, and we do not perish.'

¹⁹ `As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous, then, and reform;

³¹ And Jehovah seeth that Leah is the hated one, and He openeth her womb, and Rachel is barren;

¹¹ And they send and gather all the princes of the Philistines, and say, `Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and it turneth back to its place, and it doth not put us to death—and our people;' for there hath been a deadly destruction throughout all the city, very heavy hath the hand of God been there, ¹² and the men who have not died have been smitten with emerods, and the cry of the city goeth up into the heavens.

¹⁰ that they be bringing near sweet savours to the God of heaven, and praying for the life of the king, and of his sons.

⁹ And they go—Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite—and do as Jehovah hath spoken unto them; and Jehovah doth accept the face of Job.
¹⁰ And Jehovah hath turned to the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends, and Jehovah doth add to all that Job hath—to double.

⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah, And the prayer of the upright is His delight.

²⁹ Far is Jehovah from the wicked, And the prayer of the righteous He heareth.

¹¹ Thus said Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel, and his Former: Ask Me of the things coming concerning My sons, Yea, concerning the work of My hands, ye command Me.'

⁷ `Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;

²² and all—as much as ye may ask in the prayer, believing, ye shall receive.'

²⁴ and also all the prophets from Samuel and those following in order, as many as spake, did also foretell of these days.

⁶ for nothing be anxious, but in everything by prayer, and by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God;

²⁵ Brethren, pray for us;

¹⁶ Be confessing to one another the trespasses, and be praying for one another, that ye may be healed; very strong is a working supplication of a righteous man;

² and Sarai saith unto Abram, `Lo, I pray thee, Jehovah hath restrained me from bearing, go in, I pray thee, unto my handmaid; perhaps I am built up from her;' and Abram hearkeneth to the voice of Sarai.

² And Jacob's anger burneth against Rachel, and he saith, `Am I in stead of God who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?'

⁶ and her adversity hath also provoked her greatly, so as to make her tremble, for Jehovah hath shut up her womb.

¹⁰ And they send the ark of God to Ekron, and it cometh to pass, at the coming in of the ark of God to Ekron, that the Ekronites cry out, saying, `They have brought round unto us the ark of the God of Israel, to put us to death—and our people.'
