^{24 (72:24)} Thou hast guided me by thy counsel, and thou hast taken me to thyself with glory.

^{40 (77:40)} How often did they provoke him in the wilderness, and anger him in a dry land!

^{7 (105:7)} Our fathers in Egypt understood not thy wonders, and remembered not the multitude of thy mercy; but provoked him as they went up by the Red Sea.

^{43 (105:43)} Many a time he delivered them; but they provoked him by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquities.

^{24 (118:24)} For thy testimonies are my meditation, and thine ordinances are my counsellors.

²⁵ but ye set at nought my counsels, and disregarded my reproofs;

³⁰ neither would they attend to my counsels, but derided my reproofs. ³¹ Therefore shall they eat the fruits of their own way, and shall be filled with their own ungodliness.

¹⁹ who say, Let him speedily hasten what he will do, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel come, that we may know it.

¹⁰ But they disobeyed, and provoked his Holy Spirit: so he turned to be an enemy, he himself contended against them. ¹¹ Then he remembered the ancient days, saying, Where is he that brought up from the sea the shepherd of the sheep? where is he that put his Holy Spirit in them?

^{16 (51:16)} As for the word which thou hast spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken to thee.

³⁹ MEM. Why should a living man complain, a man concerning his sin? ⁴⁰ NUN. Our way has been searched out and examined, and we will turn to the Lord. ⁴¹ Let us lift up our hearts with our hand to the lofty One in heaven. ⁴² We have sinned, we have transgressed; and thou hast not pardoned.

¹⁵ The joy of our heart has ceased; our dance is turned into mourning. ¹⁶ The crown has fallen from our head: yea, woe to us! for we have sinned. ¹⁷ For this has grief come; our heart is sorrowful: for this our eyes are darkened.

²³ And in those days after a length of time, the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel groaned because of their tasks, and cried, and their cry because of their tasks went up to God.

¹⁸ Now then go and work, for straw shall not be given to you, yet ye shall return the rate of bricks. ¹⁹ And the accountants of the children of Israel saw themselves in an evil plight, men saying, Ye shall not fail to deliver the daily rate of the brick-making.

¹⁶ And they put away the strange gods from the midst of them, and served the Lord only, and his soul was pained for the trouble of Israel. ¹⁷ And the children of Ammon went up, and encamped in Galaad; and the children of Israel were gathered together and encamped on the hill. ¹⁸ And the people the princes of Galaad said every man to his neighbour, Who is he that shall begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall even be head over all that dwell in Galaad.

²¹ And the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he ground in the prison-house.

³⁰ And Sampson said, Let my wife perish with the Philistines: and he bowed himself mightily; and the house fell upon the princes, and upon all the people that were in it: and the dead whom Sampson slew in his death were more than those whom he slew in his life.

²⁶ And the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, and a woman cried to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king. ²⁷ And he said to her, Unless the Lord help thee, whence shall I help thee? from the corn-floor, or from the wine-press?

³³ While he was yet speaking with them, behold, a messenger came to him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the Lord; why should I wait for the Lord any longer?

³⁷ and its produce is abundant for the kings whom thou didst appoint over us because of our sins; and they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, as it pleases them, and we are in great affliction.

^{11 (21:11)} Stand not aloof from me; for affliction is near; for there is no helper.

^{4 (141:4)} I looked on my right hand, and behold, for there was none that noticed me; refuge failed me; and there was none that cared for my soul.

¹⁹ Wherefore these things are against thee; who shall sympathize with thee in thy grief? downfall, and destruction, famine, and sword: who shall comfort thee? ²⁰ Thy sons are the perplexed ones, that sleep at the top of every street as a half-boiled beet; they that are full of the anger of the Lord, caused to faint by the Lord God.

²³ And I will give it into the hands of them that injured thee, and them that afflicted thee; who said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may pass over: and thou didst level thy body with the ground to them passing by without.

⁵ And now why are ye here? Thus saith the Lord, Because my people was taken for nothing, wonder ye and howl. Thus saith the Lord, On account of you my name is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles.

⁵ And I looked, and there was no helper; and I observed, and none upheld: therefore my arm delivered them, and mine anger drew nigh.

⁵ we have been persecuted, we have laboured, we have had no rest. ⁶ Egypt gave the hand to us, Assur to their own satisfaction.

⁷ And the Lord said to Moses, I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and I have heard their cry caused by their task-masters; for I know their affliction. ⁸ And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land, and to bring them into a good and wide land, into a land flowing with milk and honey, into the place of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Gergesites, and Evites, and Jebusites.

³ And the children of Israel cried to the Lord, because he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and he mightily oppressed Israel twenty years.

⁶ And Israel was greatly impoverished because of Madiam. ⁷ And the children of Israel cried to the Lord because of Madiam. ⁸ And the Lord sent a prophet to the children of Israel; and he said to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I am he that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and I brought you up out of the house of your bondage. ⁹ And I delivered you out of the hand of Egypt, and out of the hand of all that afflicted you, and I cast them out before you; and I gave you their land. ¹⁰ And I said to you, I am the Lord your God: ye shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell; but ye hearkened not to my voice.

¹⁰ And the children of Israel cried to the Lord, saying, We have sinned against thee, because we have forsaken God, and served Baalim. ¹¹ And the Lord said to the children of Israel, Did I not save you from Egypt and from the Amorite, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Phylistines, ¹² and from the Sidonians, and Amalec, and Madiam, who afflicted you? and ye cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand? ¹³ Yet ye forsook me and served other gods; therefore I will not save you any more. ¹⁴ Go, and cry to the gods whom ye have chosen to yourselves, and let them save you in the time of your affliction. ¹⁵ And the children of Israel said to the Lord, We have sinned: do thou to us according to all that is good in thine eyes; only deliver us this day.

¹² And when he was afflicted, he sought the face of the Lord his God, and was greatly humbled before the face of the God of his fathers; ¹³ and he prayed to him: and he hearkened to him, and listened to his cry, and brought him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom: and Manasses knew that the Lord he is God.

¹⁸ And the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the God of Israel, ¹⁹ behold, they are in the account of his prayer; and God hearkened to him. And all his sins, and his backslidings, and the spots on which he built the high places, and set there groves and graven images, before he repented, behold, they are written in the books of the seers.

^{6 (17:6)} And when I was afflicted I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of this holy temple, and my cry shall enter before him, even into his ears.

^{6 (106:6)} Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

^{3 (115:3)} The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me: I found affliction and sorrow. ^{4 (115:4)} Then I called on the name of the Lord: O Lord, deliver my soul. ^{5 (115:5)} The Lord is merciful and righteous; yea, our God has pity. ^{6 (115:6)} The Lord preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he delivered me.

^{18 (38:18)} I have heard the sound of Ephraim lamenting, and saying, Thou hast chastened me, and I was chastened; I as a calf was not willingly taught: turn thou me, and I shall turn; for thou art the Lord my God. ^{19 (38:19)} For after my captivity I repented; and after I knew, I groaned for the day of shame, and shewed thee that I bore reproach from my youth. ^{20 (38:20)} Ephraim is a beloved son, a pleasing child to me: for because my words are in him, I will surely remember him: therefore I made haste to help him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord.

²¹ before I go whence I shall not return, to a land of darkness and gloominess; ²² to a land of perpetual darkness, where there is no light, neither can any one see the life of mortals.

²² Let him not trust that he shall return from darkness, for he has been already made over to the power of the sword.

³⁰ Neither shall he in any wise escape the darkness: let the wind blast his blossom, and let his flower fall off.

⁸ I am fenced round about, and can by no means escape: he has set darkness before my face.

³⁰ And he has delivered my soul from death, that my life may praise him in the light.

⁸ But they that are bound in fetters shall be holden in cords of poverty.

¹⁰ And the Lord prospered Job: and when he prayed also for his friends, he forgave them their sin: and the Lord gave Job twice as much, even the double of what he had before. ¹¹ And all his brethren and his sisters heard all that had happened to him, and they came to him, and so did all that had known him from the first: and they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, and wondered at all that the Lord had brought upon him: and each one gave him a lamb, and four drachms' weight of gold, even of unstamped gold. ¹² And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job, more than the beginning: and his cattle were fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, a thousand she-asses of the pastures.

^{19 (104:19)} until the time that his cause came on; the word of the Lord tried him as fire. ^{20 (104:20)} The king sent and loosed him; even the prince of the people, and let him go free.

^{10 (106:10)} even them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death, fettered in poverty and iron;

¹¹ And thou by the blood of thy covenant has sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit that has no water. ¹² Ye shall dwell in strongholds, ye prisoners of the congregation: and for one day of thy captivity I will recompense thee double.

¹ Thus saith the Lord God to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, that nations might be obedient before him; and I will break through the strength of kings; I will open doors before him, and cities shall not be closed. ² I will go before thee, and will level mountains: I will break to pieces brazen doors, and burst iron bars.

⁵ And the people spoke against God and against Moses, saying, Why is this? Hast thou brought us ought of Egypt to slay us in the wilderness? for there is not bread nor water; and our soul loathes this light bread. ⁶ And the Lord sent among the people deadly serpents, and they bit the people, and much people of the children of Israel died. ⁷ And the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee: pray therefore to the Lord, and let him take away the serpent from us. ⁸ And Moses prayed to the Lord for the people; and the Lord said to Moses, Make thee a serpent, and put it on a signal-staff; and it shall come to pass that whenever a serpent shall bite a man, every one so bitten that looks upon it shall live. ⁹ And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a signal-staff: and it came to pass that whenever a serpent bit a man, and he looked on the brazen serpent, he lived.

^{9 (2:10)} But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of praise and thanksgiving: all that I have vowed I will pay to thee, the Lord of my salvation.

⁴ For I brought tee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, and sent before thee Moses, and Aaron, and Mariam. ⁵ O my people, remember now, what counsel Balac king of Moab took against thee, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, from the reeds to Galgal; that the righteousness of the Lord might be known.

² He was to me a helper and protector for salvation: this is my God and I will glorify him; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

^{46 (17:46)} The Lord lives; and blessed be my God; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

^{22 (21:22)} I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I sing praise to thee.

^{25 (21:25)} My praise is of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

^{18 (34:18)} I will give thanks to thee even in a great congregation: in an abundant people I will praise thee.

^{9 (39:9)} I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; lo! I will not refrain my lips; O Lord, thou knowest my righteousness. ^{10 (39:10)} I have not hid thy truth within my heart, and I have declared thy salvation; I have not hid thy mercy and thy truth from the great congregation.

^{10 (45:10)} Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

^{16 (65:16)} Come, hear, and I will tell, all ye that fear God, how great things he has done for my soul.

^{5 (98:5)} Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

^{9 (98:9)} Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the Lord our God is holy.

^{1 (110:1)} Alleluia. I will give thee thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

^{46 (118:46)} And I spoke of thy testimonies before kings, and was not ashamed.

¹ O Lord God, I will glorify thee, I will sing to thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, even an ancient and faithful counsel. So be it.

¹ And Eliu the prophet, the Thesbite of Thesbae of Galaad, said to Achaab, As the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be these years dew nor rain, except by the word of my mouth. ² And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, saying, ³ Depart hence eastward, and hide thee by the brook of Chorrath, that is before Jordan. ⁴ And it shall be that thou shalt drink water of the brook, and I will charge the ravens to feed thee there. ⁵ And Eliu did according to the word of the Lord, and he sat by the brook of Chorrath before Jordan. ⁶ And the ravens brought him loaves in the morning, and flesh in the evening and he drank water of the brook. ⁷ And it came to pass after some time, that the brook was dried up, because there had been no rain upon the earth.

⁵ And Achaab said to Abdiu, Come, and let us go through the land, and to the fountains of water, and to the brooks, if by any means we may find grass, and may save the horses and mules, and so they will not perish from the tents.

^{15 (73:15)} Thou didst cleave fountains and torrents; thou driedst up mighty rivers.

¹⁹ And Babylon, which is called glorious by the king of the Chaldeans, shall be as when God overthrew Sodoma, and Gomorrha. ²⁰ It shall never be inhabited, neither shall any enter into it for many generations: neither shall the Arabians pass through it; nor shall shepherds at all rest in it. ²¹ But wild beasts shall rest there; and the houses shall be filled with howling; and monsters shall rest there, and devils shall dance there,

⁵ And the Egyptians shall drink the water that is by the sea, but the river shall fail, and be dried up. ⁶ And the streams shall fail, and the canals of the river; and every reservoir of water shall be dried up, in every marsh also of reed and papyrus. ⁷ And all the green herbage round about the river, and everything sown by the side of the river, shall be blasted with the wind and dried up. ⁸ And the fishermen shall groan, and all that cast a hook into the river shall groan; they also that cast nets, and the anglers shall mourn. ⁹ And shame shall come upon them that work fine flax, and them that make fine linen. ¹⁰ And they that work at them shall be in pain, and all that make beer shall be grieved, and be pained in their souls.

⁹ And her valleys shall be turned into pitch, and her land into sulphur; and her land shall be as pitch burning night and day; ¹⁰ and it shall never be quenched, and her smoke shall go up: it shall be made desolate throughout her generations,

¹⁵ I will make desolate mountains and hills, and will dry up all their grass; and I will make the rivers islands, and dry up the pools.

²⁷ Who says to the deep, Thou shalt be dried up, and I will dry up the rivers.

² Why did I come, and there was no man? why did I call, and there was none to hearken? Is not my hand strong to redeem? or can I not deliver? behold, by my rebuke I will dry up the sea, and make rivers a wilderness; and their fish shall be dried up because there is no water, and shall die for thirst.

³ And her nobles have sent their little ones to the water: they came to the wells, and found no water: and brought back their vessels empty.

¹² And I will make their rivers desolate, and will destroy the land and the fulness of it by the hands of strangers: I the Lord have spoken.

²⁰ And the cattle of the field have looked up to thee: for the fountains of waters have been dried up, and fire has devoured the fair places of the wilderness.

⁷ Also I withheld from you the rain three months before the harvest: and I will rain upon one city, and on another city I will not rain: one part shall be rained upon, and the part on which I shall not rain shall be dried up. ⁸ And the inhabitants of two or three cities shall be gathered to one city to drink water, and they shall not be satisfied: yet ye have not returned to me, saith the Lord.

⁴ He threatens the sea, and dries it up, and exhausts all the rivers: the land of Basan, and Carmel are brought low, and the flourishing trees of Libanus have come to nought.

⁹ Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Moab shall be as Sodoma, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrha; and Damascus shall be left as a heap of the threshing-floor, and desolate for ever: and the remnant of my people shall plunder them, and the remnant of my nations shall inherit them.

¹³ And he shall stretch forth his hand against the north and destroy the Assyrian, and make Nineve a dry wilderness, even as a desert.

¹⁰ And Lot having lifted up his eyes, observed all the country round about Jordan, that it was all watered, before God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, as the garden of the Lord, and as the land of Egypt, until thou come to Zogora.

¹³ But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before God.

³ All these met with one consent at the salt valley; this is now the sea of salt.

²⁴ And the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven. ²⁵ And he overthrew these cities, and all the country round about, and all that dwelt in the cities, and the plants springing out of the ground.

²³ brimstone and burning salt, (the whole land shall not be sown, neither shall any green thing spring, nor rise upon it, as Sodom and Gomorrha were overthrown, Adama and Seboim, which the Lord overthrew in his wrath and anger:) — ²⁴ and all the nations shall say, Why has the Lord done thus to this land? what is this great fierceness of anger? ²⁵ And men shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, the things which he appointed to their fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt: ²⁶ and they went and served other gods, which they knew not, neither did he assign them to them. ²⁷ And the Lord was exceedingly angry with that land to bring upon it according to all the curses which are written in the book of this law. ²⁸ And the Lord removed them from their land in anger, and wrath, and very great indignation, and cast them out into another land as at present.

¹³ As for the land of my people, the thorn and grass shall come upon it, and joy shall be removed from every house. ¹⁴ As for the rich city, the houses are deserted; they shall abandon the wealth of the city, and the pleasant houses: and the villages shall be caves for ever, the joy of wild asses, shepherds' pastures; ¹⁵ until the Spirit shall come upon you from on high, and Chermel shall be desert, and Chermel shall be counted for a forest.

¹¹ But at the outlet of the water, and the turn of it, and where it overflows its banks, they shall not heal at all; they are given to salt.

¹⁶ And thence they came to the well; this is the well of which the Lord said to Moses, Gather the people, and I will give them water to drink. ¹⁷ Then Israel sang this song at the well, Begin to sing of the well; ¹⁸ the princes digged it, the kings of the nations in their kingdom, in their lordship sank it in the rock: and they went from the well to Manthanain,

¹⁶ And he said, Thus saith the Lord, Make this valley full of trenches. ¹⁷ For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain, yet this valley shall be filled with water, and ye, and your flocks, and your cattle shall drink. ¹⁸ And this is a light thing in the eyes of the Lord: I will also deliver Moab into your hand. ¹⁹ And ye shall smite every strong city, and ye shall cut down every good tree, and ye shall stop all wells of water, and spoil every good piece of land with stones. ²⁰ And it came to pass in the morning, when the sacrifice was offered, that, behold! waters came from the way of Edom, and the land was filled with water.

^{8 (113:8)} who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.

⁶ Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the stammerers shall speak plainly; for water has burst forth in the desert, and a channel of water in a thirsty land. ⁷ And the dry land shall become pools, and a fountain of water shall be poured into the thirsty land; there shall there be a joy of birds, ready habitations and marshes.

¹⁷ And the poor and the needy shall exult; for when they shall seek water, and there shall be none, and their tongue is parched with thirst, I the Lord God, I the God of Israel will hear, and will not forsake them: ¹⁸ but I will open rivers on the mountains, and fountains in the midst of plains: I will make the desert pools of water, and a thirsty land watercourses. ¹⁹ I will plant in the dry land the cedar and box, the myrtle and cypress, and white poplar:

³ For I will give water to the thirsty that walk in a dry land: I will put my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessings upon thy children: ⁴ and they shall spring up as grass between brooks, and as willows on the banks of running water. ⁵ One shall say, I am God's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall write with his hand, I am God's, and shall call himself by the name of Israel.

⁶ And he said to me, Hast thou seen this, son of man? Then he brought me, and led me back to the brink of the river ⁷ as I returned; and, behold, on the brink of the river there were very many trees on this side and on that side. ⁸ And he said to me, This is the water that goes forth to Galilee that lies eastward, and it is gone down to Arabia, and has reached as far as to the sea to the outlet of the water: and it shall heal the waters. ⁹ And it shall come to pass, that every animal of living and moving creatures, all on which the river shall come, shall live: and there shall be there very many fish; for this water shall go thither, and it shall heal them, and they shall live: everything on which the river shall come shall live. ¹⁰ And fishers shall stand there from Ingadin to Enagallim; it shall be a place to spread out nets upon; it shall be distinct; and the fishes thereof shall be as the fishes of the great sea, a very great multitude. ¹¹ But at the outlet of the water, and the turn of it, and where it overflows its banks, they shall not heal at all; they are given to salt. ¹² And every fruit tree shall grow by the river, even on the bank of it on this side and on that side: they shall not decay upon it, neither shall their fruit fail: they shall bring forth the first-fruit of their early crop, for these their waters come forth of the sanctuary: and their fruit shall be for meat, and their foliage for health.

^{7 (106:7)} And he guided them into a straight path, that they might go to a city of habitation.

¹² And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found in that year barley and hundred-fold, and the Lord blessed him.

^{9 (64:9)} Thou hast visited the earth, and saturated it; thou hast abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; thou hast prepared their food, for thus is the preparation of it. ^{10 (64:10)} Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits; the crop springing up shall rejoice in its drops. ^{11 (64:11)} Thou wilt bless the crown of the year because of thy goodness; and thy plains shall be filled with fatness. ^{12 (64:12)} The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall gird themselves with joy. ^{13 (64:13)} The rams of the flock are clothed with wool, and the valleys shall abound in corn; they shall cry aloud, yea they shall sing hymns.

³⁰ And this shall be a sign to thee, Eat this year what thou hast sown; and the second year that which is left: and the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

²¹ and they shall build houses, and themselves shall dwell in them; and they shall plant vineyards, and themselves shall eat the fruit thereof.

^{5 (36:5)} Build ye houses, and inhabit them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruits thereof;

^{5 (38:5)} For ye have planted vineyards on the mountains of Samaria: plant ye, and praise.

²⁶ Yea, they shall dwell upon it safely, and they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and dwell securely, when I shall execute judgment on all that have dishonoured them, even on those that are round about them; and they shall know that I am the Lord their God, and the God of their fathers.

¹⁰ For the plains languish: let the land mourn, for the corn languishes; the wine is dried up, the oil becomes scarce; ¹¹ the husbandmen are consumed: mourn your property on account of the wheat and barley; for the harvest has perished from off the field. ¹² The vine is dried up, and the fig-trees are become few; the pomegranate, and palm-tree, and apple, and all trees of the field are dried up: for the sons of men have have abolished joy.

¹³ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when the harvest shall overtake the vintage, and the grapes shall ripen at seedtime; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall be planted. ¹⁴ And I will turn the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities, and shall inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and shall drink the wine from them; and they shall form gardens, and eat the fruit of them. ¹⁵ And I will plant them on their land, and they shall no more be plucked up from the land which I have given them, saith the Lord God Almighty.

⁵ And now thus saith the Lord Almighty; Consider your ways, I pray you. ⁶ Ye have sown much, but brought in little; ye have eaten, and are not satisfied; ye have drunk, and are not satisfied with drink, ye have clothed yourselves, and have not become warm thereby: and he that earns wages has gathered them into a bag full of holes.

¹⁰ therefore shall the sky withhold dew, and the earth shall keep back her produce. ¹¹ And I will bring a sword upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, and all that the earth produces, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon all the labours of their hands.

^{16 (2:17)} When ye cast into the corn-bin twenty measures of barley, and there were only ten measures of barley: and ye went to the vat to draw out fifty measures, and there were but twenty. ^{17 (2:18)} I smote you with barrenness, and with blasting, and all the works of your hands with hail; yet ye returned not to me, saith the Lord. ^{18 (2:19)} Set your hearts now to think from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day when the foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid; ^{19 (2:20)} consider in your hearts, whether this shall be known on the corn-floor, and whether yet the vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive-trees that bear no fruit are with you: from this day will I bless you.

¹² But I will shew peace: the vine shall yield her fruit, and the land shall yield her produce, and the heaven shall give its dew: and I will give as an inheritance all these things to the remnant of my people.

²⁸ And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying creatures of heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the reptiles that creep on the earth.

¹ And God blessed Noe and his sons, and said to them, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and have dominion over it.

² And I will make thee a great nation, and I will bless thee and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed.

¹⁶ And I will bless her, and give thee a son of her, and I will bless him, and he shall become nations, and kings of nations shall be of him.

²⁰ And concerning Ismael, behold, I have heard thee, and, behold, I have blessed him, and will increase him and multiply him exceedingly; twelve nations shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

⁴³ And the man became very rich, and he had many cattle, and oxen, and servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and asses.

⁹ So God has taken away all the cattle of your father, and given them to me.

⁷ And the children of Israel increased and multiplied, and became numerous and grew exceedingly strong, and the land multiplied them.

³ behold, the hand of the Lord shall be upon thy cattle in the fields, both on the horses, and on the asses, and on the camels and oxen and sheep, a very great mortality. ⁴ And I will make a marvellous distinction in that time between the cattle of the Egyptians, and the cattle of the children of Israel: nothing shall die of all that is of the children's of Israel. ⁵ And God fixed a limit, saying, To-morrow the Lord will do this thing on the land. ⁶ And the Lord did this thing on the next day, and all the cattle of the Egyptians died, but of the cattle of the children of Israel there died not one. ⁷ And when Pharao saw, that of all the cattle of the children of Israel there died not one, the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not let the people go.

³⁸ And a great mixed company went up with them, and sheep and oxen and very much cattle.

¹⁴ Thou shalt be blessed beyond all nations; there shall not be among you an impotent or barren one, or among thy cattle.

⁴ Blessed shall be the offspring of thy body, and the fruits of thy land, and the herds of thy oxen, and the flocks of thy sheep.

¹¹ And the Lord thy God shall multiply thee for good in the offspring of thy body, and in the offspring of thy cattle, and in the fruits of thy land, on thy land which the Lord sware to thy fathers to give to thee.

⁹ And the Lord thy God shall bless thee in every work of thine hands, in the offspring of thy body, and in the offspring of thy cattle, and in the fruits of thy land, because the Lord thy God will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:

^{1 (127:1)} A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways. ^{2 (127:2)} Thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee. ^{3 (127:3)} Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of thy house: thy children as young olive-plants round about thy table. ^{4 (127:4)} Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord. ^{5 (127:5)} May the Lord bless thee out of Sion; and mayest thou see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. ^{6 (127:6)} And mayest thou see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel.

^{13 (143:13)} Their garners are full, and bursting with one kind of store after another; their sheep are prolific, multiplying in their streets. ^{14 (143:14)} Their oxen are fat: there is no falling down of a hedge, nor going out, nor cry in their folds.

²² The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the righteous; it enriches him, and grief of heart shall not be added to it.

^{19 (37:19)} And there shall go forth from them singers, even the sound of men making merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not at all be diminished.

²⁶ And I will make with them a covenant of peace; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will establish my sanctuary in the midst of them for ever.

¹¹ And I will nourish thee there: for the famine is yet for five years; lest thou be consumed, and thy sons, and all thy possessions.

¹³ And the Egyptians tyrannised over the children of Israel by force. ¹⁴ And they embittered their life by hard labours, in the clay and in brick-making, and all the works in the plains, according to all the works, wherein they caused them to serve with violence.

³ And it came to pass when the children of Israel sowed, that Madiam and Amalec went up, and the children of the east went up together with them. ⁴ And they encamped against them, and destroyed their fruits until they came to Gaza; and they left not the support of life in the land of Israel, not even ox or ass among the herds. ⁵ For they and their stock came up, and their tents were with them, as the locust in multitude, and there was no number to them and their camels; and they came to the land of Israel, and laid it waste. ⁶ And Israel was greatly impoverished because of Madiam.

²⁰ And she said to them, Nay, do not call me Noemin; call me æBitter,' for the Mighty One has dealt very bitterly with me. ²¹ I went out full, and the Lord has brought me back empty: and why call ye me Noemin, whereas the Lord has humbled me and the Mighty One has afflicted me?

⁵ They that were full of bread are brought low; and the hungry have forsaken the land; for the barren has born seven, and she that abounded in children has waxed feeble. ⁶ The Lord kills and makes alive; he brings down to the grave, and brings up. ⁷ The Lord makes poor, and makes rich; he brings low, and lifts up.

⁸ And a day came, when Elisaie passed over to Soman, and there was a great lady there, and she constrained him to eat bread: and it came to pass as often as he went into the city, that he turned aside to eat there.

³ And it came to pass after the expiration of the seven years, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines to the city; and came to cry to the king for her house and for her lands.

³² In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short; and Azael smote them in every coast of Israel;

⁷ Whereas there was not left any army to Joachaz, except fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand infantry: for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and they made them as dust for trampling.

²² And Azael greatly afflicted Israel all the days of Joachaz.

²⁶ For the Lord saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter, and that they were few in number, straitened and in want, and destitute, and Israel had no helper.

⁵ And in that time there is no peace to one going out, or to one coming in, for the terror of the Lord is upon all that inhabit the lands. ⁶ And nation shall fight against nation, and city against city; for God has confounded them with every kind of affliction.

¹⁰ Hast thou not made a hedge about him, and about his household, and all his possessions round about? and hast thou not blessed the works of his hands, and multiplied his cattle upon the land? ¹¹ But put forth thine hand, and touch all that he has: verily he will bless thee to thy face. ¹² Then the Lord said to the devil, Behold, I give into thine hand all that he has, but touch not himself. So the devil went out from the presence of the Lord. ¹³ And it came to pass on a certain day, that Job's sons and his daughters were drinking wine in the house of their elder brother. ¹⁴ And, behold, there came a messenger to job, and said to him, The yokes of oxen were ploughing, and the she-asses were feeding near them; ¹⁵ and the spoilers came and took them for a prey, and slew the servants with the sword; and I having escaped alone am come to tell thee. ¹⁶ While he was yet speaking, there came another messenger, and said to Job, Fire has fallen from heaven, and burnt up the sheep, and devoured the shepherds like wise; and I having escaped alone am come to tell thee. ¹⁷ While he was yet speaking, there came another messenger, and said to Job, The horsemen formed three companies against us, and surrounded the camels, and took them for a prey, and slew the servants with the sword; and I only escaped, and am come to tell thee.

^{6 (29:6)} And I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved. ^{7 (29:7)} O Lord, in thy good pleasure thou didst add strength to my beauty: but thou didst turn away thy face, and I was troubled.

^{33 (28:33)} For thus saith the Lord, The houses of the king of Babylon shall be threshed as a floor in the season; yet a little while, and her harvest shall come. ^{34 (28:34)} He has devoured me, he has torn me asunder, airy darkness has come upon me; Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon has swallowed me up, as a dragon has he filled his belly with my delicacies.

³ and the river shall teem with frogs, and they shall go up and enter into thy houses, and into thy bed-chambers, and upon thy beds, and upon the houses of thy servants, and of thy people and on thy dough, and on thine ovens.

¹⁷ So Aaron stretched out his rod with his hand, and smote the dust of the earth; and the lice were on men and on quadrupeds, and in all the dust of the earth there were lice.

²⁴ And the dog-fly came in abundance into the houses of Pharao, and into the houses of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt; and the land was destroyed by the dog-fly.

²⁴ And when they brought them out to Joshua, then Joshua called together all Israel, and the chiefs of the army that went with him, saying to them, Come forward and set your feet on their necks; and they came and set their feet on their necks. ²⁵ And Joshua said to them, Do not fear them, neither be cowardly; be courageous and strong, for thus the Lord will do to all your enemies, against whom ye fight. ²⁶ And Joshua slew them, and hanged them on five trees; and they hung upon the trees until the evening.

⁶ And Adonibezek fled, and they pursued after him, and took him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes. ⁷ And Adonibezek said, Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their food under my table: as I therefore have done, so God has recompensed me: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

²¹ And Jael the wife of Chaber took a pin of the tent, and took a hammer in her hand, and went secretly to him, and fastened the pin in his temple, and it went through to the earth, and he fainted away, and darkness fell upon him and he died.

⁹ And it came to pass after it went about to Geth, that the hand of the Lord comes upon the city, a very great confusion; and he smote the men of the city small and great, and smote them in their secret parts: and the Gittites made to themselves images of emerods.

⁴ And they say, What is the offering for the plague which we shall return to it? and they said,

^{19 (20:19)} And thou shalt speak to him, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast slain and taken possession, therefore thus saith the Lord, In every place where the swine and the dogs have licked the blood of Nabuthai, there shall the dogs lick thy blood; and the harlots shall wash themselves in thy blood.

³⁵ And they went to bury her; but they found nothing of her but the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands. ³⁶ And they returned and told him. And he said, It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of Eliu the Thesbite, saying, In the portion of Jezrael shall the dogs eat the flesh of Jezabel. ³⁷ And the carcass of Jezabel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezrael, so that they shall not say, This is Jezabel.

²¹ He pours dishonour upon princes, and heals the lowly.

^{66 (77:66)} And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he brought on them a perpetual reproach.

⁸ Who has devised this counsel against Tyre? Is she inferior? or has she no strength? her merchants were the glorious princes of the earth. ⁹ The Lord of hosts has purposed to bring down all the pride of the glorious ones, and to disgrace every glorious thing on the earth.

¹⁵ Hear ye, and give ear, and be not proud: for the Lord has spoken. ¹⁶ Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and ye shall wait for light, and behold the shadow of death, and they shall be brought into darkness. ¹⁷ But if ye will not hearken, your soul shall weep in secret because of pride, and your eyes shall pour down tears, because the Lord's flock is sorely bruised. ¹⁸ Say ye to the king and the princes, Humble yourselves, and sit down; for your crown of glory is removed from your head.

^{33 (4:30)} In the same hour the word was fulfilled upon Nabuchodonosor: and he was driven forth from men, and he ate grass as an ox, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven, until his hairs were grown like lions' hairs, and his nails as birds' claws.

⁵ In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote in front of the lamp on the plaster of the wall of the king's house: and the king saw the knuckles of the hand that wrote. ⁶ Then the king's countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him, and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one another.
