¹⁹ And she multiplieth her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went a-whoring in the land of Egypt.

⁴⁴ And they come in unto her, As the coming in unto a whorish woman, So they have come in unto Aholah, And unto Aholibah—the wicked women.

⁵ For gone a-whoring hath their mother, Acted shamefully hath their conceiver, For she hath said, I go after my lovers, Those giving my bread and my water, My wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.

³ and I say unto her, `Many days thou dost remain for Me, thou dost not go a-whoring, nor become any one's; and I also am for thee.'

¹⁵ Though a harlot thou art, O Israel, Let not Judah become guilty, And come not ye in to Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-Aven, Nor swear ye, Jehovah liveth.

¹ `Judge not, that ye may not be judged, <sup>2</sup> for in what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged, and in what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you. <sup>3</sup> `And why dost thou behold the mote that is in thy brother's eye, and the beam that is in thine own eye dost not consider? ⁴ or, how wilt thou say to thy brother, Suffer I may cast out the mote from thine eye, and lo, the beam is in thine own eye? ⁵ Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

¹ Therefore, thou art inexcusable, O man—every one who is judging—for in that in which thou dost judge the other, thyself thou dost condemn, for the same things thou dost practise who art judging, ² and we have known that the judgment of God is according to truth, upon those practising such things.

²² Thou hast faith! to thyself have it before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve,

³² and send the long coat, and they bring it in unto their father, and say, `This have we found; discern, we pray thee, whether it is thy son's coat or not?'

¹⁸ and he saith, `What is the pledge that I give to thee?' and she saith, `Thy seal, and thy ribbon, and thy staff which is in thy hand;' and he giveth to her, and goeth in unto her, and she conceiveth to him;

²¹ These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.

²⁶ As the shame of a thief when he is found, So put to shame have been the house of Israel, They, their kings, their heads, And their priests, and their prophets,

¹⁶ in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my good news, through Jesus Christ.

⁵ so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.

¹² and I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and scrolls were opened, and another scroll was opened, which is that of the life, and the dead were judged out of the things written in the scrolls—according to their works;

¹ And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceiveth and beareth Cain, and saith, `I have gotten a man by Jehovah;'

³³ And he discerneth it, and saith, `My son's coat! an evil beast hath devoured him; torn—torn is Joseph!'

¹⁷ And he saith unto David, `More righteous thou art than I; for thou hast done me good, and I have done thee evil;

²² And they spread out for Absalom the tent on the roof, and Absalom goeth in unto the concubines of his father before the eyes of all Israel.

³ And David cometh in unto his house at Jerusalem, and the king taketh the ten women-concubines—whom he had left to keep the house, and putteth them in a house of ward, and sustaineth them, and unto them he hath not gone in, and they are shut up unto the day of their death, in widowhood living.

¹⁷ And David speaketh unto Jehovah, when he seeth the messenger who is smiting among the people, and saith, `Lo, I have sinned, yea, I have done perversely; and these—the flock—what have they done? Let, I pray Thee, Thy hand be on me, and on the house of my father.'

⁵ But now, it cometh in unto thee, And thou art weary; It striketh unto thee, and thou art troubled.

³¹ For unto God hath any said: `I have taken away, I do not corruptly, ³² Besides that which I see, shew Thou me, If iniquity I have done—I do not add?'

⁵ Once I have spoken, and I answer not, And twice, and I add not.

⁵² Thou also—bear thy shame, That thou hast adjudged to thy sisters, Because of thy sins that thou hast done more abominably than they, They are more righteous than thou, And thou, also, be ashamed and bear thy shame, In thy justifying thy sisters.

¹³ Purer of eyes than to behold evil, To look on perverseness Thou art not able, Why dost Thou behold the treacherous? Thou keepest silent when the wicked Doth swallow the more righteous than he,

⁸ bear, therefore, fruits worthy of the reformation,

⁹ and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders—unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

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;

¹² the night did advance, and the day came nigh; let us lay aside, therefore, the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armour of the light;

¹¹ For the saving grace of God was manifested to all men, ¹² teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, soberly and righteously and piously we may live in the present age,

² no more in the desires of men, but in the will of God, to live the rest of the time in the flesh; ³ for sufficient to us is the past time of life the will of the nations to have wrought, having walked in lasciviousnesses, desires, excesses of wines, revellings, drinking-bouts, and unlawful idolatries,

²⁴ And her days to bear are fulfilled, and lo, twins are in her womb;

¹² and let thy house be as the house of Pharez (whom Tamar bare to Judah), of the seed which Jehovah doth give to thee of this young woman.'

⁴ And Tamar his daughter-in-law hath borne to him Pharez and Zerah. All the sons of Judah are five.

⁴ Uthai son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, of the sons of Pharez, son of Judah.

⁴ And in Jerusalem have dwelt of the sons of Judah, and of the sons of Benjamin. Of the sons of Judah: Athaiah son of Uzziah, son of Zechariah, son of Amariah, son of Shephatiah, son of Mahalaleel, of the sons of Perez;

⁶ And of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel, and their brethren, six hundred and ninety.
