Genesis 9:20-29

20 Noah, a man of the soil, planted a vineyard. 21 He drank some of its wine. He became drunk and lay undressed inside his tent. 22 Ham, father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside. 23 Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders. Then they walked in backward and covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father’s nakedness. 24 Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him. 25 He (Noah) said: »Canaan is cursed! He will be a lowly slave to his brothers.« 26 He also said: »Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem. 27 »May God extend the territory of Japheth. And may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave.« 28 After the flood, Noah lived three hundred and fifty years. 29 Noah lived a total of nine hundred and fifty years, and then he died.

1 We know that if our earthly house (human body) (habitation of life) is destroyed; we have a building from God. It is an everlasting house in the heavens, not made with human hands. 2 In this we sigh (in silent prayer), longing to be clothed with our habitation that is from heaven. 3 Indeed being clothed we will not be found naked. 4 While in this tabernacle we groan and sigh with prayer. We are concerned that we would be clothed with what is mortal and be swallowed up (devoured) by this life. 5 He that prepared us for this very purpose is God. He gave the Spirit to us as a guarantee (pledge) (security).

I will not spare a man.« 4 Our Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts is His name, The Holy One of Israel. 5 »Sit silently and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans. You will no longer be called the queen of kingdoms. 6 »I was angry with my people. I profaned my heritage and gave them into your hand. You did not show mercy to them. You made your yoke very heavy on the aged. 7 »‘You said: ‘I will be a queen for a very long time!’ You did not consider these things or remember their outcome. 8 »Hear this you sensual one! You dwell securely and say in your heart: ‘I am, and there is no one besides me. I will not sit as a widow.

They will come on you in full measure in spite of your abundance of sorceries, in spite of the great power of your spells. 10 »You felt sure of yourself in your evil. You thought that no one could see you. Your wisdom and knowledge led you astray. Then you said to yourself: ‘I am God! There is no one else like me.’ 11 »Disaster will come upon you, and none of your magic can stop it. Ruin will come on you suddenly, ruin you never dreamed of! 12 Keep all your magic spells and charms. You have used them since you were young. Perhaps they will be of some help to you. Perhaps you can frighten your enemies. 13 »You are powerless in spite of the advice you get. Let your astrologers come forward and save you! Let those people who study the stars, who map out the zones of the heavens tell you from month to month what is going to happen to you. 14 »Surely they are like stubble. The fire will burn them up. They cannot even save themselves from the power of the flame. Here are no coals to warm anyone and no fire to sit by. 15 »That is all they can do for you, these you have labored with and trafficked with since childhood. Each of them goes on in his error. No one can save you.
