¹² To deliver thee from an evil way, From any speaking froward things,

³⁴ If the scorners He doth scorn, Yet to the humble He doth give grace.

¹⁴ Into the path of the wicked enter not, And be not happy in a way of evil doers. ¹⁵ Avoid it, pass not over into it, Turn aside from it, and pass on.

²² for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,

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;

¹⁵ of these things be careful; in these things be, that thy advancement may be manifest in all things;

²³ and many are bringing in an offering to Jehovah, to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, and he is lifted up before the eyes of all the nations after this.

⁹ From the fragrance of water it doth flourish, And hath made a crop as a plant.

¹⁴ Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,

⁸ And the passers by have not said, `The blessing of Jehovah is on you, We blessed you in the Name of Jehovah!'

¹⁰ Say ye to the righteous, that it is good, Because the fruit of their doings they eat.

¹¹ In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in setting it on fire, For it is not a people of understanding, Therefore pity it not doth its Maker, And its Former doth not favour it.

⁴ And they have sprung up as among grass, As willows by streams of water.

⁸ And hath been as a tree planted by waters, And by a rivulet he sendeth forth his roots, And he doth not see when heat cometh, And his leaf hath been green, And in a year of dearth he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making fruit.

⁸ On a good field, by many waters, it is planted, To make branches, and to bear fruit, To be for an goodly vine.

¹⁰ Thy mother is as a vine in thy blood by waters planted, Fruitful and full of boughs it hath been, Because of many waters.

¹² And by the stream there cometh up on its edge, on this side and on that side, every kind of fruit-tree whose leaf fadeth not, and not consumed is its fruit, according to its months it yieldeth first-fruits, because its waters from the sanctuary are coming forth; and its fruits hath been for food, and its leaf for medicine.

⁶ and the sun having risen they were scorched, and through not having root, they withered,

¹⁹ and having seen a certain fig-tree on the way, he came to it, and found nothing in it except leaves only, and he saith to it, `No more from thee may fruit be—to the age;' and forthwith the fig-tree withered.

³⁴ `And when the season of the fruits came nigh, he sent his servants unto the husbandmen, to receive the fruits of it,

⁴¹ They say to him, `Evil men—he will evilly destroy them, and the vineyard will give out to other husbandmen, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons.'

⁶ if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to fire, and they are burned;

¹² These are in your love-feasts craggy rocks; feasting together with you, without fear shepherding themselves; clouds without water, by winds carried about; trees autumnal, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up;

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;

¹⁸ They are as straw before wind, And as chaff a hurricane hath stolen away,

⁵ They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away.

¹³ Nations as the wasting of many waters are wasted, And He hath pushed against it, And it hath fled afar off, And been pursued as chaff of hills before wind, And as a rolling thing before a hurricane.

⁵ And as small dust hath been The multitude of those scattering thee, And as chaff passing on the multitude of the terrible, And it hath been at an instant—suddenly.

³ Therefore they are as a cloud of the morning, And as dew, rising early, going away, As chaff tossed about out of a floor, And as smoke out of a window.

¹² whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather his wheat to the storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.'

⁵ The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.

⁷ And Jehovah to the age abideth, He is preparing for judgment His throne. ⁸ And He judgeth the world in righteousness, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.

¹⁶ Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah.

³ Who goeth up into the hill of Jehovah? And who riseth up in His holy place?

⁹ Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,

¹⁸ And ye have turned back and considered, Between the righteous and the wicked, Between the servant of God and him who is not His servant.

⁴⁹ so shall it be in the full end of the age, the messengers shall come forth and separate the evil out of the midst of the righteous,

³² and gathered together before him shall be all the nations, and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd doth separate the sheep from the goats,

⁴¹ Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath been prepared for the Devil and his messengers;

⁴⁶ And these shall go away to punishment age-during, but the righteous to life age-during.'

³⁶ watch ye, then, in every season, praying that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.'

¹⁵ to do judgment against all, and to convict all their impious ones, concerning all their works of impiety that they did impiously, and concerning all the stiff things that speak against Him did impious sinners.'

¹⁰ For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me—as gold I go forth.

⁶ O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them.

¹⁸ Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is—to the age. ¹⁹ They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied. ²⁰ But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.
²¹ The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the righteous is gracious and giving. ²² For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off. ²³ From Jehovah are the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth. ²⁴ When he falleth, he is not cast down, For Jehovah is sustaining his hand.

¹⁰ The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!

¹ To the Overseer. —A Psalm by David. Jehovah, Thou hast searched me, and knowest. ² Thou—Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar.

³ When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then Thou hast known my path; In the way in which I walk, They have hid a snare for me.

¹² There is a way—right before a man, And its latter end are ways of death.

⁹ An abomination to Jehovah is the way of the wicked, And whoso is pursuing righteousness He loveth.

⁷ Good is Jehovah for a strong place in a day of distress. And He knoweth those trusting in Him.

¹³ `Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide is the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it;

¹⁴ `I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known by mine,

²⁷ according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,

¹⁹ sure, nevertheless, hath the foundation of God stood, having this seal, `The Lord hath known those who are His,' and `Let him depart from unrighteousness—every one who is naming the name of Christ.'

¹² and these, as irrational natural beasts, made to be caught and destroyed—in what things they are ignorant of, speaking evil—in their destruction shall be destroyed,
