²⁴ And Joab cometh unto the king, and saith, `What hast thou done? lo, Abner hath come unto thee! why is this—thou hast sent him away, and he is really gone?

⁹ `Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do the evil thing in His eyes? Uriah the Hittite thou hast smitten by the sword, and his wife thou hast taken to thee for a wife, and him thou hast slain by the sword of the Bene-Ammon. <sup>10</sup> `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 for thou hast done it in secret, and I do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.'

³⁵ Pilate answered, `Am I a Jew? thy nation, and the chief priests did deliver thee up to me; what didst thou?'

¹ And the serpent hath been subtile above every beast of the field which Jehovah God hath made, and he saith unto the woman, `Is it true that God hath said, Ye do not eat of every tree of the garden?'

⁶ whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God hath He made man.

²⁸ `And when an ox doth gore man or woman, and they have died, the ox is certainly stoned, and his flesh is not eaten, and the owner of the ox is acquitted; <sup>29</sup> and if the ox is one accustomed to gore heretofore, and it hath been testified to its owner, and he doth not watch it, and it hath put to death a man or woman, the ox is stoned, and its owner also is put to death. <sup>30</sup> `If atonement is laid upon him, then he hath given the ransom of his life, according to all that is laid upon him; ³¹ whether it gore a son or gore a daughter, according to this judgment it is done to him. ³² `If the ox gore a man-servant or a handmaid, thirty silver shekels he doth give to their lord, and the ox is stoned.

²⁵ `And ye have made separation between the pure beasts and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the pure, and ye do not make yourselves abominable by beast or by fowl, or by anything which creepeth on the ground which I have separated to you for unclean;

¹⁵ `And it hath been, if thou dost not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God to observe to do all His commands, and His statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day, that all these revilings have come upon thee, and overtaken thee: <sup>16</sup> `Cursed art thou in the city, and cursed art thou in the field. ¹⁷ `Cursed is thy basket and thy kneading-trough. <sup>18</sup> `Cursed is the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, increase of thine oxen, and wealth of thy flock. ¹⁹ `Cursed art thou in thy coming in, and cursed art thou in thy going out. <sup>20</sup> `Jehovah doth send on thee the curse, the trouble, and the rebuke, in every putting forth of thy hand which thou dost, till thou art destroyed, and till thou perish hastily, because of the evil of thy doings by which thou hast forsaken Me.

⁹ Before him bow do the inhabitants of the dry places, And his enemies lick the dust.

⁴ And thou hast been low, From the earth thou speakest, And from the dust makest thy saying low, And thy voice hath been from the earth, As one having a familiar spirit, And from the dust thy saying whisperest,

²⁵ Wolf and lamb do feed as one, And a lion as an ox eateth straw, As to the serpent—dust is its food, They do no evil, nor destroy, In all My holy mountain, said Jehovah!

¹⁷ They lick dust as a serpent, as fearful things of earth, They tremble from their enclosures, Of Jehovah our God they are afraid, Yea, they are afraid of Thee.

¹⁷ Dan is a serpent by the way, An adder by the path, Which is biting the horse's heels, And its rider falleth backward.

⁶ And Jehovah sendeth among the people the burning serpents, and they bite the people, and much people of Israel die; ⁷ and the people come in unto Moses and say, `We have sinned, for we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee; pray unto Jehovah, and He doth turn aside from us the serpent;' and Moses prayeth in behalf of the people.

¹¹ Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee.

¹⁴ Therefore the Lord Himself giveth to you a sign, Lo, the Virgin is conceiving, And is bringing forth a son, And hath called his name Immanuel,

³ He is despised, and left of men, A man of pains, and acquainted with sickness, And as one hiding the face from us, He is despised, and we esteemed him not.
⁴ Surely our sicknesses he hath borne, And our pains—he hath carried them, And we—we have esteemed him plagued, Smitten of God, and afflicted.

¹² Therefore I give a portion to him among the many, And with the mighty he apportioneth spoil, Because that he exposed to death his soul, And with transgressors he was numbered, And he the sin of many hath borne, And for transgressors he intercedeth.

²² Till when dost thou withdraw thyself, O backsliding daughter? For Jehovah hath prepared a new thing in the land, Woman doth compass man.

²⁶ And after the sixty and two weeks, cut off is Messiah, and the city and the holy place are not his, the Leader who hath come doth destroy the people; and its end is with a flood, and till the end is war, determined are desolations.

³ And if they be hid in the top of Carmel, From thence I search out, and have taken them, And if they be hid from Mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, From thence I command the serpent, And it hath bitten them.

³ Therefore he doth give them out till the time She who bringeth forth hath brought forth, And the remnant of his brethren return to the sons of Israel.

²³ `Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,' which is, being interpreted `With us he is God.'

²⁵ and did not know her till she brought forth her son—the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.

⁷ And having seen many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming about his baptism, he said to them, `Brood of vipers! who did shew you to flee from the coming wrath?

¹ Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil, ² and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he did hunger. ³ And the Tempter having come to him said, `If Son thou art of God—speak that these stones may become loaves.' <sup>4</sup> But he answering said, `It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God.' ⁵ Then doth the Devil take him to the holy city, and doth set him on the pinnacle of the temple, ⁶ and saith to him, `If Son thou art of God—cast thyself down, for it hath been written, that, His messengers He shall charge concerning thee, and on hands they shall bear thee up, that thou mayest not dash on a stone thy foot.' <sup>7</sup> Jesus said to him again, `It hath been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.' ⁸ Again doth the Devil take him to a very high mount, and doth shew to him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them, ⁹ and saith to him, `All these to thee I will give, if falling down thou mayest bow to me.' <sup>10</sup> Then saith Jesus to him, `Go—Adversary, for it hath been written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou shalt serve.'

³⁴ `Brood of vipers! how are ye able to speak good things—being evil? for out of the abundance of the heart doth the mouth speak.

³⁸ and the field is the world, and the good seed, these are the sons of the reign, and the darnel are the sons of the evil one,

³³ `Serpents! brood of vipers! how may ye escape from the judgment of the gehenna?

¹⁸ serpents they shall take up; and if any deadly thing they may drink, it shall not hurt them; on the ailing they shall lay hands, and they shall be well.'

³¹ and lo, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and shalt bring forth a son, and call his name Jesus; ³² he shall be great, and Son of the Highest he shall be called, and the Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father, ³³ and he shall reign over the house of Jacob to the ages; and of his reign there shall be no end.' ³⁴ And Mary said unto the messenger, `How shall this be, seeing a husband I do not know?' <sup>35</sup> And the messenger answering said to her, `The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, therefore also the holy-begotten thing shall be called Son of God;

⁷⁶ And thou, child, Prophet of the Highest Shalt thou be called; For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, To prepare His ways.

¹⁹ lo, I give to you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means shall hurt you;

³⁹ And having gone forth, he went on, according to custom, to the mount of the Olives, and his disciples also followed him, ⁴⁰ and having come to the place, he said to them, `Pray ye not to enter into temptation.' <sup>41</sup> And he was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone's cast, and having fallen on the knees he was praying, <sup>42</sup> saying, `Father, if Thou be counselling to make this cup pass from me—;but, not my will, but Thine be done.' — ⁴³ And there appeared to him a messenger from heaven strengthening him; ⁴⁴ and having been in agony, he was more earnestly praying, and his sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling upon the ground.

⁵³ while daily I was with you in the temple, ye did stretch forth no hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of the darkness.'

³¹ now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth; ³² and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.' ³³ And this he said signifying by what death he was about to die;

³⁰ I will no more talk much with you, for the ruler of this world doth come, and in me he hath nothing; ³¹ but that the world may know that I love the Father, and according as the Father gave me command so I do; arise, we may go hence.

¹⁰ said, `O full of all guile, and all profligacy, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the right ways of the Lord?

³ but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid them upon the fire, a viper—out of the heat having come—did fasten on his hand. ⁴ And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said unto one another, `Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not suffer to live;' ⁵ he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil, ⁶ and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or to fall down suddenly dead, and they, expecting it a long time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing their minds, said he was a god.

¹³ A sepulchre opened is their throat; with their tongues they used deceit; poison of asps is under their lips.

²⁰ and the God of the peace shall bruise the Adversary under your feet quickly; the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen!

⁴ and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law,

⁸ wherefore, he saith, `Having gone up on high he led captive captivity, and gave gifts to men,' —

¹⁵ having stripped the principalities and the authorities, he made a shew of them openly—having triumphed over them in it.

¹⁴ Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through death he might destroy him having the power of death—that is, the devil— ¹⁵ and might deliver those, whoever, with fear of death, throughout all their life, were subjects of bondage,

¹⁸ for in that he suffered, himself being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

⁷ who in the days of his flesh both prayers and supplications unto Him who was able to save him from death—with strong crying and tears—having offered up, and having been heard in respect to that which he feared,

⁸ he who is doing the sin, of the devil he is, because from the beginning the devil doth sin; for this was the Son of God manifested, that he may break up the works of the devil;

¹⁰ In this manifest are the children of God, and the children of the devil; every one who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother,

⁵ who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

¹⁰ `Be not afraid of the things that thou art about to suffer; lo, the devil is about to cast of you to prison, that ye may be tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days; become thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of the life.

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, ⁸ and they did not prevail, nor was their place found any more in the heaven; ⁹ and the great dragon was cast forth—the old serpent, who is called `Devil,' and `the Adversary,' who is leading astray the whole world—he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth with him. ¹⁰ And I heard a great voice saying in the heaven, `Now did come the salvation, and the power, and the reign, of our God, and the authority of His Christ, because cast down was the accuser of our brethren, who is accusing them before our God day and night; ¹¹ and they did overcome him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life—unto death;
¹² because of this be glad, ye heavens, and those in them who do tabernacle; woe to those inhabiting the land and the sea, because the Devil did go down unto you, having great wrath, having known that he hath little time.' ¹³ And when the dragon saw that he was cast forth to the earth, he pursued the woman who did bring forth the male,

¹⁷ and the dragon was angry against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, those keeping the commands of God, and having the testimony of Jesus Christ.

⁷ and there was given to it to make war with the saints, and to overcome them, and there was given to it authority over every tribe, and tongue, and nation.

¹ And I saw another sign in the heaven, great and wonderful, seven messengers having the seven last plagues, because in these was completed the wrath of God, ² and I saw as a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who do gain the victory over the beast, and his image, and his mark, and the number of his name, standing by the sea of the glass, having harps of God, ³ and they sing the song of Moses, servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, `Great and wonderful are Thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty, righteous and true are Thy ways, O King of saints, ⁴ who may not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? because Thou alone art kind, because all the nations shall come and bow before Thee, because Thy righteous acts were manifested.'
⁵ And after these things I saw, and lo, opened was the sanctuary of the tabernacle of the testimony in the heaven; ⁶ and come forth did the seven messengers having the seven plagues, out of the sanctuary, clothed in linen, pure and shining, and girded round the breasts with golden girdles:

¹ And I saw a messenger coming down out of the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain over his hand, ² and he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, who is Devil and Adversary, and did bind him a thousand years, ³ and he cast him to the abyss, and did shut him up, and put a seal upon him, that he may not lead astray the nations any more, till the thousand years may be finished; and after these it behoveth him to be loosed a little time.

⁷ And when the thousand years may be finished, the Adversary shall be loosed out of his prison, ⁸ and he shall go forth to lead the nations astray, that are in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—to gather them together to war, of whom the number is as the sand of the sea;

¹⁰ and the Devil, who is leading them astray, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are the beast and the false prophet, and they shall be tormented day and night—to the ages of the ages.

⁷ Is there not, if thou dost well, acceptance? and if thou dost not well, at the opening a sin-offering is crouching, and unto thee its desire, and thou rulest over it.'

¹⁶ And they journey from Bethel, and there is yet a kibrath of land before entering Ephratha, and Rachel beareth, and is sharply pained in her bearing; ¹⁷ and it cometh to pass, in her being sharply pained in her bearing, that the midwife saith to her, `Fear not, for this also is a son for thee.' ¹⁸ And it cometh to pass in the going out of her soul (for she died), that she calleth his name Ben-Oni; and his father called him Benjamin;

⁷ and her husband hath heard, and in the day of his hearing, he hath kept silent at her, then have her vows been established, and her bonds which she hath bound on her soul are established. ⁸ `And if in the day of her husband's hearing he disalloweth her, then he hath broken her vow which is on her, and the wrongful utterance of her lips which she hath bound on her soul, and Jehovah is propitious to her.

¹³ `Every vow and every oath—a bond to humble a soul—her husband doth establish it, or her husband doth break it;

¹⁹ And his daughter-in-law, wife of Phinehas, is pregnant, about to bear, and she heareth the report of the taking of the ark of God, that her father-in-law and her husband have died, and she boweth, and beareth, for her pains have turned upon her. ²⁰ And at the time of her death, when the women who are standing by her say, `Fear not, for a son thou hast borne,' she hath not answered, nor set her heart to it; <sup>21</sup> and she calleth the youth I-Chabod, saying, `Honour hath removed from Israel,' because of the taking of the ark of God, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

²⁰ and the sentence of the king that he maketh hath been heard in all his kingdom—for it is great—and all the wives give honour to their husbands, from great even unto small.'

⁶ Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.

⁸ And they have been troubled, Pains and pangs they take, As a travailing woman they are pained, A man at his friend they marvel, The appearance of flames—their faces!

³ Therefore filled have been my loins with great pain, Pangs have seized me as pangs of a travailing woman, I have been bent down by hearing, I have been troubled by seeing.

¹⁷ When a pregnant woman cometh near to the birth, She is pained—she crieth in her pangs, So we have been from Thy face, O Jehovah. ¹⁸ We have conceived, we have been pained. We have brought forth as it were wind, Salvation we do not work in the earth, Nor do the inhabitants of the world fall.

¹¹ Of the labour of his soul he seeth—he is satisfied, Through his knowledge give righteousness Doth the righteous one, My servant, to many, And their iniquities he doth bear.

³¹ For a voice as of a sick woman I have heard, Distress, as of one bringing forth a first-born, The voice of the daughter of Zion, She bewaileth herself, she spreadeth out her hands, `Woe to me now, for weary is my soul of slayers!'

²⁴ `We have heard its sound, feeble have been our hands, Distress hath seized us, pain as of a travailing woman.

²¹ What dost thou say, when He looketh after thee? And thou—thou hast taught them to be over thee—leaders for head? Do not pangs seize thee as a travailing woman?

²³ O dweller in Lebanon, making a nest among cedars, How gracious hast thou been when pangs come to thee, Pain—as of a travailing woman.

²⁴ Feeble hath been Damascus, She turned to flee, and fear strengthened her, Distress and pangs have seized her, as a travailing woman.

⁹ Now, why dost thou shout aloud? A king—is there none in thee? Hath thy counsellor perished, That taken hold of thee hath pain as a travailing woman? ¹⁰ Be pained, and bring forth, O daughter of Zion, As a travailing woman, For now, thou goest forth from the city, And thou hast dwelt in the field, And thou hast gone unto Babylon, There thou art delivered, There redeem thee doth Jehovah from the hand of thine enemies.

²¹ `The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world.

⁴ the wife over her own body hath not authority, but the husband; and, in like manner also, the husband over his own body hath not authority, but the wife.

³ and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.

³⁴ Your women in the assemblies let them be silent, for it hath not been permitted to them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith;

²² The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord, ²³ because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ is head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body, ²⁴ but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also are the wives to their own husbands in everything.

¹⁸ The wives! be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the Lord;

³ for when they may say, Peace and surety, then sudden destruction doth stand by them, as the travail doth her who is with child, and they shall not escape;

¹¹ Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection, ¹² and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,

¹⁵ and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.

⁵ sober, pure, keepers of their own houses, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

¹ In like manner, the wives, be ye subject to your own husbands, that even if certain are disobedient to the word, through the conversation of the wives, without the word, they may be won, ² having beheld your pure behaviour in fear, ³ whose adorning—let it not be that which is outward, of plaiting of hair, and of putting around of things of gold, or of putting on of garments, ⁴ but—the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible thing of the meek and quiet spirit, which is, before God, of great price, ⁵ for thus once also the holy women who did hope on God, were adorning themselves, being subject to their own husbands, ⁶ as Sarah was obedient to Abraham, calling him `sir,' of whom ye did become daughters, doing good, and not fearing any terror.

⁶ And the woman seeth that the tree is good for food, and that it is pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make one wise, and she taketh of its fruit and eateth, and giveth also to her husband with her, and he doth eat;

¹¹ And He saith, `Who hath declared to thee that thou art naked? of the tree of which I have commanded thee not to eat, hast thou eaten?'

²⁹ and calleth his name Noah, saying, `This one doth comfort us concerning our work, and concerning the labour of our hands, because of the ground which Jehovah hath cursed.'

⁶ For sorrow cometh not forth from the dust, Nor from the ground springeth up misery. ⁷ For man to misery is born, And the sparks go high to fly.

¹ Man, born of woman! Of few days, and full of trouble!

¹⁷ How oft is the lamp of the wicked extinguished, And come on them doth their calamity? Pangs He apportioneth in His anger.

⁷ For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled. ⁸ Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face, ⁹ For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a meditation.

² Vain for you who are rising early, Who delay sitting, eating the bread of griefs, So He giveth to His beloved one sleep.

² Vanity of vanities, said the Preacher, Vanity of vanities: the whole is vanity. ³ What advantage is to man by all his labour that he laboureth at under the sun?

¹³ And I have given my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that hath been done under the heavens. It is a sad travail God hath given to the sons of man to be humbled by it. ¹⁴ I have seen all the works that have been done under the sun, and lo, the whole is vanity and vexation of spirit!

¹¹ and I have looked on all my works that my hands have done, and on the labour that I have laboured to do, and lo, the whole is vanity and vexation of spirit, and there is no advantage under the sun!

¹⁷ And I have hated life, for sad to me is the work that hath been done under the sun, for the whole is vanity and vexation of spirit.

²² For what hath been to a man by all his labour, and by the thought of his heart that he laboured at under the sun? ²³ For all his days are sorrows, and his travail sadness; even at night his heart hath not lain down; this also is vanity.

¹⁷ Also all his days in darkness he consumeth, and sadness, and wrath, and sickness abound.

⁵ And the land hath been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a covenant age-during. ⁶ Therefore a curse hath consumed the land, And the inhabitants in it are become desolate, Therefore consumed have been inhabitants of the land, And few men have been left.

²³ But this thing I commanded them, saying: Hearken to My voice, And I have been to you for God, And ye—ye are to Me for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command you, So that it is well for you. ²⁴ And they have not hearkened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, In the stubbornness, of their evil heart, And are for backward, and not for forward.

¹² and he saith to him, Comrade, how didst thou come in hither, not having clothing of the marriage-feast? and he was speechless.

²⁶ `And his lord answering said to him, Evil servant, and slothful, thou hadst known that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather whence I did not scatter! ²⁷ it behoved thee then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received mine own with increase.

⁴⁵ `Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of these, the least, ye did it not to me.

²² `And he saith to him, Out of thy mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow!

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.'

¹⁹ And we have known that as many things as the law saith, to those in the law it doth speak, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may come under judgment to God;

²⁰ for to vanity was the creation made subject—not of its will, but because of Him who did subject it —in hope, ²¹ that also the creation itself shall be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God; ²² for we have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till now.

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.

²¹ and he saith, `Naked came I forth from the womb of my mother, and naked I turn back thither: Jehovah hath given and Jehovah hath taken: let the name of Jehovah be blessed.'

⁵ Whose harvest the hungry doth eat, And even from the thorns taketh it, And the designing swallowed their wealth.

⁴⁰ Instead of wheat let a thorn go forth, And instead of barley a useless weed! The words of Job are finished.

³ Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men.

² Covering himself with light as a garment, Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,

¹⁴ Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth, ¹⁵ And wine—it rejoiceth the heart of man, To cause the face to shine from oil, And bread—the heart of man it supporteth.

⁵ Thorns—snares are in the way of the perverse, Whoso is keeping his soul is far from them.

³¹ And lo, it hath gone up—all of it—thorns! Covered its face have nettles, And its stone wall hath been broken down.

⁶ And I make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And gone up have brier and thorn, And on the thick clouds I lay a charge, From raining upon it rain.

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.

¹³ Over the ground of my people thorn—brier goeth up, Surely over all houses of joy of the exulting city,

³ For thus said Jehovah, To the man of Judah, and to Jerusalem: Till for yourselves tillage, And do not sow unto the thorns.

¹³ They sowed wheat, and have thorns reaped, They have become sick—they profit not, And they have been ashamed of your increases, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah.

⁷ and others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns did come up and choke them,

² one doth believe that he may eat all things—and he who is weak doth eat herbs;

⁸ and that which is bearing thorns and briers is disapproved of, and nigh to cursing, whose end is for burning;

⁷ And Jehovah God formeth the man—dust from the ground, and breatheth into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becometh a living creature.

²⁷ And Abraham answereth and saith, `Lo, I pray thee, I have willed to speak unto the Lord, and I—dust and ashes;

⁴ `A sojourner and a settler I am with you; give to me a possession of a burying-place with you, and I bury my dead from before me.'

¹³ If I wait—Sheol is my house, In darkness I have spread out my couch. ¹⁴ To corruption I have called: —`Thou art my father.' `My mother' and `my sister' —to the worm. ¹⁵ And where is now my hope? Yea, my hope, who doth behold it? ¹⁶ To the parts of Sheol ye go down, If together on the dust we may rest.

²⁶ And after my skin hath compassed this body, Then from my flesh I see God:

²⁶ Together—on the dust they lie down, And the worm doth cover them over.

¹⁵ Expire doth all flesh together, And man to dust returneth.

¹⁵ Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws.

²⁹ And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he who hath not revived his soul.

¹⁴ For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we are dust.

²⁹ Thou hidest Thy face—they are troubled, Thou gatherest their spirit—they expire, And unto their dust they turn back.

¹⁶ A man who is wandering from the way of understanding, In an assembly of Rephaim resteth.

³ What advantage is to man by all his labour that he laboureth at under the sun?

¹³ And I have given my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that hath been done under the heavens. It is a sad travail God hath given to the sons of man to be humbled by it.

²⁰ The whole are going unto one place, the whole have been from the dust, and the whole are turning back unto the dust.

¹⁵ As he came out from the belly of his mother, naked he turneth back to go as he came, and he taketh not away anything of his labour, that doth go in his hand.

⁷ And the dust returneth to the earth as it was, And the spirit returneth to God who gave it.

² `And the multitude of those sleeping in the dust of the ground do awake, some to life age-during, and some to reproaches—to abhorrence age-during.

¹² because of this, even as through one man the sin did enter into the world, and through the sin the death; and thus to all men the death did pass through, for that all did sin; ¹³ for till law sin was in the world: and sin is not reckoned when there is not law; ¹⁴ but the death did reign from Adam till Moses, even upon those not having sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of him who is coming. ¹⁵ But, not as the offence so also is the free gift; for if by the offence of the one the many did die, much more did the grace of God, and the free gift in grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abound to the many; ¹⁶ and not as through one who did sin is the free gift, for the judgment indeed is of one to condemnation, but the gift is of many offences to a declaration of `Righteous,' <sup>17</sup> for if by the offence of the one the death did reign through the one, much more those, who the abundance of the grace and of the free gift of the righteousness are receiving, in life shall reign through the one—Jesus Christ. <sup>18</sup> So, then, as through one offence to all men it is to condemnation, so also through one declaration of `Righteous' it is to all men to justification of life; ¹⁹ for as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were constituted sinners: so also through the obedience of the one, shall the many be constituted righteous. ²⁰ And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where the sin did abound, the grace did overabound, ²¹ that even as the sin did reign in the death, so also the grace may reign, through righteousness, to life age-during, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

²¹ for since through man is the death, also through man is a rising again of the dead, ²² for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive,

²⁸ whoso is stealing let him no more steal, but rather let him labour, working the thing that is good with the hands, that he may have to impart to him having need.

⁹ for ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail, for, night and day working not to be a burden upon any of you, we did preach to you the good news of God;

¹⁰ for even when we were with you, this we did command you, that if any one is not willing to work, neither let him eat,

²³ and the man saith, `This is the proper step! bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!' for this it is called Woman, for from a man hath this been taken;

¹¹ and the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, `Behold thou art conceiving, and bearing a son, and hast called his name Ishmael, for Jehovah hath hearkened unto thine affliction;

³² and Leah conceiveth, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Reuben, for she said, `Because Jehovah hath looked on mine affliction; because now doth my husband love me.' <sup>33</sup> And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith, `Because Jehovah hath heard that I am the hated one, He also giveth to me even this one;' and she calleth his name Simeon. ³⁴ And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith, `Now is the time, my husband is joined unto me, because I have born to him three sons,' therefore hath one called his name Levi. <sup>35</sup> And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith this time, `I praise Jehovah;' therefore hath she called his name Judah; and she ceaseth from bearing.

¹⁸ And it cometh to pass in the going out of her soul (for she died), that she calleth his name Ben-Oni; and his father called him Benjamin;

¹⁰ And the lad groweth, and she bringeth him in to the daughter of Pharaoh, and he is to her for a son, and she calleth his name Moses, and saith, `Because—from the water I have drawn him.'

²⁰ and it cometh to pass, at the revolution of the days, that Hannah conceiveth, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Samuel, `for, from Jehovah I have asked him.' ²¹ and she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.'

²⁶ He made also of one blood every nation of men, to dwell upon all the face of the earth—having ordained times before appointed, and the bounds of their dwellings—

¹⁰ I greatly rejoice in Jehovah, Joy doth my soul in my God, For He clothed me with garments of salvation, With a robe of righteousness covereth Me, As a bridegroom prepareth ornaments, And as a bride putteth on her jewels.

²² and the righteousness of God is through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, —for there is no difference,

² for also in this we groan, with our dwelling that is from heaven earnestly desiring to clothe ourselves, ³ if so be that, having clothed ourselves, we shall not be found naked,

²¹ for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

²⁶ And God saith, `Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.'

⁹ and Jehovah God causeth to sprout from the ground every tree desirable for appearance, and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

⁶ and Jehovah saith, `Lo, the people is one, and one pronunciation is to them all, and this it hath dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do. ⁷ Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.'

²⁶ The humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah do those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever.

¹⁸ A tree of life she is to those laying hold on her, And whoso is retaining her is happy.

¹² Where are they now, thy wise ones? Yea, let them tell to thee, I pray thee, And they know what Jehovah of Hosts hath counselled against Egypt! ¹³ Foolish have been princes of Zoan, Lifted up have been princes of Noph, And they have caused Egypt to err, The chief of her tribes.

¹² Stand, I pray thee, in thy charms, And in the multitude of thy sorceries, In which thou hast laboured from thy youth, It may be thou art able to profit, It may be thou dost terrify! ¹³ Thou hast been wearied in the multitude of thy counsels, Stand up, I pray thee, and save thee, Let the charmers of the heavens, Those looking on the stars, Those teaching concerning the months, From those things that come on thee!

⁴⁸ I am the bread of the life; ⁴⁹ your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died; ⁵⁰ this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die. ⁵¹ `I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live—to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.' <sup>52</sup> The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, `How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?' ⁵³ Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves; <sup>54</sup> he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day; <sup>55</sup> for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink; <sup>56</sup> he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him. <sup>57</sup> `According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me; ⁵⁸ this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live—to the age.'

⁷ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming—I will give to him to eat of the tree of life that is in the midst of the paradise of God.

² in the midst of its broad place, and of the river on this side and on that, is a tree of life, yielding twelve fruits, in each several month rendering its fruits, and the leaves of the tree are for the service of the nations;

¹⁴ `Happy are those doing His commands that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of the life, and by the gates they may enter into the city;

⁵ and no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb of the field yet sprouteth, for Jehovah God hath not rained upon the earth, and a man there is not to serve the ground,

¹⁹ by the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for dust thou art, and unto dust thou turnest back.'

² and she addeth to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain hath been servant of the ground.

¹² when thou tillest the ground, it doth not add to give its strength to thee—a wanderer, even a trembling one, thou art in the earth.'

²⁰ And Noah remaineth a man of the ground, and planteth a vineyard,

⁹ And the abundance of a land is for all. A king for a field is served.

⁸ And Jehovah God planteth a garden in Eden, at the east, and He setteth there the man whom He hath formed; ⁹ and Jehovah God causeth to sprout from the ground every tree desirable for appearance, and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

² `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they take for Me a heave-offering; from every man whose heart impelleth him ye do take My heave-offering.

¹⁸ and thou hast made two cherubs of gold, beaten work dost thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat; ¹⁹ and make thou one cherub at the end on this side, and one cherub at the end on that; at the mercy-seat ye do make the cherubs on its two ends. ²⁰ `And the cherubs have been spreading out wings on high, covering the mercy-seat over with their wings, and their faces are one towards another—towards the mercy-seat are the faces of the cherubs. <sup>21</sup> `And thou hast put the mercy-seat on the ark above, and unto the ark thou dost put the testimony which I give unto thee; ²² and I have met with thee there, and have spoken with thee from off the mercy-seat (from between the two cherubs, which are on the ark of the testimony) all that which I command thee concerning the sons of Israel.

²³ and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah standing in the way, and his drawn sword in his hand, and the ass turneth aside out of the way, and goeth into a field, and Balaam smiteth the ass to turn it aside into the way.

¹³ And it cometh to pass in Joshua's being by Jericho, that he lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, one standing over-against him, and his drawn sword in his hand, and Joshua goeth unto him, and saith to him, `Art thou for us or for our adversaries?'

⁴ And the people sendeth to Shiloh, and they take up thence the ark of the covenant of Jehovah of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubs, and there are two sons of Eli, with the ark of the covenant of God, Hophni and Phinehas.

²⁵ and ten by the cubit is the second cherub, one measure and one form are to the two cherubs, ²⁶ the height of the one cherub is ten by the cubit, and so is the second cherub; ²⁷ and he setteth the cherubs in the midst of the inner house, and they spread out the wings of the cherubs, and a wing of the one cometh against the wall, and a wing of the second cherub is coming against the second wall, and their wings are unto the midst of the house, coming wing against wing; ²⁸ and he overlayeth the cherubs with gold, ²⁹ and all the walls of the house round about he hath carved with openings of carvings, cherubs, and palm trees, and openings of flowers, within and without. ³⁰ And the floor of the house he hath overlaid with gold, within and without; ³¹ as to the opening of the oracle, he made doors of the oil-tree; the lintel, side-posts, a fifth. ³² And the two doors are of the oil-tree, and he hath carved upon them carvings of cherubs, and palm-trees, and openings of flowers, and overlaid with gold, and he causeth the gold to go down on the cherubs and on the palm-trees. ³³ And so he hath made for the opening of the temple, side-posts of the oil-tree, from the fourth. ³⁴ And the two doors are of fir-tree, the two sides of the one door are revolving, and the two hangings of the second door are revolving. ³⁵ And he hath carved cherubs, and palms, and openings of flowers, and overlaid with straightened gold the graved work.

¹⁶ and David lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the messenger of Jehovah standing between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem, and David falleth, and the elders, covered with sackcloth, on their faces. ¹⁷ And David saith unto God, `Did not I—I say to number the people? Yea, I it is who have sinned, and done great evil: and these, the flock, what did they? O Jehovah, my God, let, I pray Thee, Thy hand be on me, and on the house of my father, and not on Thy people—to be plagued.'

¹ To the Overseer. —`On the Lilies.' A testimony of Asaph. —A Psalm. Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Leading Joseph as a flock, Inhabiting the cherubs—shine forth,

¹ Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh.

⁴ Making His messengers—the winds, His ministers—the flaming fire.

² And He speaketh unto the man clothed with linen, and saith, `Go in unto the midst of the wheel, unto the place of the cherub, and fill thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubs, and scatter over the city.' And he goeth in before mine eyes. <sup>3</sup> And the cherubs are standing on the right side of the house, at the going in of the man, and the cloud hath filled the inner court, <sup>4</sup> and become high doth the honour of Jehovah above the cherub, over the threshold of the house, and the house is filled with the cloud, and the court hath been filled with the brightness of the honour of Jehovah. <sup>5</sup> And a noise of the wings of the cherubs hath been heard unto the outer court, as the voice of God—the Mighty One—in His speaking. <sup>6</sup> And it cometh to pass, in His commanding the man clothed with linen, saying, `Take fire from between the wheel, from between the cherubs,' and he goeth in and standeth near the wheel, ⁷ that the one cherub putteth forth his hand from between the cherubs unto the fire that is between the cherubs, and lifteth up, and giveth into the hands of him who is clothed with linen, and he receiveth, and cometh forth.
⁸ And there appeareth in the cherubs the form of a hand of man under their wings, ⁹ and I look, and lo, four wheels near the cherubs, one wheel near the one cherub, and another wheel near the other cherub, and the appearance of the wheels is as the colour of a beryl stone. ¹⁰ As to their appearances, one likeness is to them four, as it were the wheel in the midst of the wheel. ¹¹ In their going, on their four sides they go; they turn not round in their going, for to the place whither the head turneth, after it they go, they turn not round in their going. ¹² And all their flesh, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, are full of eyes round about; to them four are their wheels. ¹³ To the wheels—to them is one calling in mine ears, `O wheel!' ¹⁴ And four faces are to each; the face of the one is the face of the cherub, and the face of the second the face of man, and of the third the face of a lion, and of the fourth the face of an eagle. ¹⁵ And the cherubs are lifted up, it is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar. ¹⁶ And in the going of the cherubs, the wheels go beside them; and in the cherubs lifting up their wings to be high above the earth, the wheels turn not round, even they, from being beside them. ¹⁷ In their standing they stand, and in their exaltation they are exalted with them: for the living spirit is in them. ¹⁸ And go forth doth the honour of Jehovah from off the threshold of the house, and standeth over the cherubs, ¹⁹ and the cherubs lift up their wings, and are lifted up from the earth before mine eyes; in their going forth, the wheels also are over-against them, and he standeth at the opening of the east gate of the house of Jehovah, and the honour of the God of Israel is over them from above. ²⁰ It is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, and I know that they are cherubs. ²¹ Four faces are to each, and four wings to each, and the likeness of the hands of man is under their wings. ²² As to the likeness of their faces, they are the faces that I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; each straight forward they go.

⁶ Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

⁷ and unto the messengers, indeed, He saith, `Who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire;'

¹⁸ and where forgiveness of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
¹⁹ Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, in the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ which way he did initiate for us—new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh— ²¹ and a high priest over the house of God, ²² may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water;
