THE THRONE OF YAH VEH
Thus says Yah Veh, The heavens are my throne and the earth, the stool of my feet: where is the house you build to me? and where the place of my rest? 2 For all those my hand worked, and they all became - an oracle of Yah Veh: and to this man I look - the humbled and smitten of spirit who tremble at my word. 3 Whoever slaughters an ox, smites a man; whoever sacrifices a lamb, breaks the neck of a dog; whoever holocausts an offering, the blood of swine; whoever memorializes with incense, blesses mischief: yes, they choose their own ways and their soul delights in their abominations. 4 I also - I choose their exploits, and bring their terrors on them; because when I call, no one answers; when I word, they hear not: but they work evil in front of my eyes and choose that in which I delight not. 5 Hear the word of Yah Veh, you who tremble at his word; your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for sake of my name, say, Yah Veh is honored: and we see your cheerfulness, and they shame: 6 a voice of uproar from the city; a voice from the manse; a voice of Yah Veh shalaming his enemies. 7 Ere she writhes, she births; ere her pangs come, she is rescued of a male child. 8 Who ever heard such? Who ever saw such? Writhed the earth in one day? Or birthed a goyim at one time? For even as Siyon writhes, she births her sons. 9 Break I to the birth, and not birth? says Yah Veh: I also restrain, says your Elohim. 10 You, rejoice with Yeru Shalem, and twirl with her, all you who love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her: 11 that you suck and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that you suck out, and delight with the full breast of her honor. 12 For thus says Yah Veh, Behold, I spread her shalom as a river, and the honor of the goyim as a flowing wadi: and you suck, borne on her sides, and stroked on her knees. 13 As man over whom his mother sighs, thus sigh I over you; yes, sigh over you in Yeru Shalem. 14 And when you see, your heart rejoices, and your bones blossom as a sprout: and the hand of Yah Veh is known toward his servants and his rage toward his enemies. 15 For, behold, Yah Veh comes with fire and with his chariots as a hurricane - to turn his wrath with fury and his rebuke with flames of fire. 16 For by fire and by his sword Yah Veh judges all flesh: and the pierced of Yah Veh abound by the myriads. 17 They who hallow and purify themselves behind, midst the gardens, eating flesh of swine; and the abomination and the mouse are consumed together - an oracle of Yah Veh. 18 And I - their works and their fabrications I come to gather all goyim and tongues; and they come, and see my honor: 19 and I set a sign among them; and I send the escapees to the goyim - to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud - who draw the bow, - to Tubal, and Yavan - to the islands afar, who neither heard my fame nor saw my honor; and they tell my honor among the goyim: 20 and they bring all your brothers for an offering to Yah Veh - from all goyim on horses and in chariots and in palanquins and on mules and on prancers to my holy mountain Yeru Shalem, says Yah Veh; as the sons of Yisra El bring an offering in a pure instrument into the house of Yah Veh. 21 And I also take of them for priests for Leviym, says Yah Veh. 22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I work, stand at my face - an oracle of Yah Veh; thus your seed and your name stand. 23 And so be it, that from new moon to new moon and enough from shabbath to shabbath all flesh comes to prostrate in front of me, says Yah Veh; 24 and they come and see the carcases of the men who rebel against me: for neither their maggot dies, nor their fire quenches; and they become an abhorrance to all flesh.
