¹³ And he entreated him, and besought him earnestly: and he heard his prayer, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom, and Manasses knew that the Lord was God.

²³ And we fasted, and besought our God for this: and it fell out prosperously unto us.

¹ There was a man in the land of Hus, whose name was Job, and that man was simple and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil.

³ And his possession was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a family exceedingly great: and this man was great among all the people of the east.

⁸ And the Lord said to him: Hast thou considered my servant, Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a simple and upright man, and fearing God, and avoiding evil?

³ And the Lord said to Satan: Hast thou considered my servant, Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man simple and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil, and still keeping his innocence? But thou hast moved me against him, that I should afflict him without cause.

¹¹ Now when Job's three friends heard all the evil that had befallen him, they came every one from his own place, Eliphaz, the Themanite, and Baldad, the Suhite, and Sophar, the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment to come together and visit him, and comfort him.

²⁶ Thou shalt enter into the grave in abundance, as a heap of wheat is brought in in its season.

¹⁹ Consider the paths of Thema, the ways of Saba, and wait a little while.

¹⁵ Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what doth it profit us if we pray to him?

¹⁷ Who said to God: Depart from us: and looked upon the Almighty as if he could do nothing:

⁹ For he hath said: Man shall not please God, although he run with him.

^{17 (42:16)} And he died an old man, and full of days.

¹⁴ From the enemies of thy hand. O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: their belly is filled from thy hidden stores. They are full of children: and they have left to their little ones the rest of their substance. ¹⁵ But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear.

³⁷ Keep innocence, and behold justice: for there are remnants for the peaceable man.

¹⁵ And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

^{8 (60:10)} Moab is the pot of my hope. Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: to me the foreigners are made subject. ^{9 (60:11)} Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

^{2 (65:3)} O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.

^{18 (68:19)} Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive; thou hast received gifts in men. Yea for those also that do not believe, the dwelling of the Lord God.

¹⁰ The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts:

⁶⁴ Their priests fell by the sword: and their widows did not mourn.

^{5 (83:6)} For they have contrived with one consent: they have made a covenant together against thee, ^{6 (83:7)} The tabernacle of the Edomites, and the Ishmahelites: Moab, and the Agarens,

^{6 (83:7)} The tabernacle of the Edomites, and the Ishmahelites: Moab, and the Agarens, ^{7 (83:8)} Gebal, and Ammon and Amalec: the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre. ^{8 (83:9)} Yea, and the Assyrian also is joined with them: they are come to the aid of the sons of Lot. ^{9 (83:10)} Do to them as thou didst to Madian and to Sisara: as to Jabin at the brook of Cisson. ^{10 (83:11)} Who perished at Endor: and became as dung for the earth. ^{11 (83:12)} Make their princes like Oreb, and Zeb, and Zebee, and Salmana. All their princes, ^{12 (83:13)} Who have said: Let us possess the sanctuary of God for an inheritance. ^{13 (83:14)} O my God, make them like a wheel; and as stubble before the wind. ^{14 (83:15)} As fire which burneth the wood: and as a flame burning mountains: ^{15 (83:16)} So shalt thou pursue them with thy tempest: and shalt trouble them in thy wrath.

¹⁵ He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.

²⁴ And they set at nought the desirable land. They believed not his word,

⁵ Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of Cedar:

³ Behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb.

¹⁹ He will do the will of them that fear him: and he will hear their prayer, and save them.

²⁴ That which the wicked feareth, shall come upon him: to the just their desire shall be given.

²⁵ The just eateth and filleth his soul: but the belly of the wicked is never to be filled.

²⁹ The joy of young men is their strength: and the dignity of old men, their grey hairs.

¹⁵ Therefore I commended mirth, because there was no good for a man under the sun, but to eat, and drink, and be merry, and that he should take nothing else with him of his labour in the days of his life, which God hath given him under the sun.

^{5 (1:4)} I am black but beautiful, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Cedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

²³ In that day there shall be a way from Egypt to the Assyrians, and the Assyrian shall enter into Egypt, and the Egyptian to the Assyrians, and the Egyptians shall serve the Assyrian. ²⁴ In that day shall Israel be the third to the Egyptian and the Assyrian: a blessing in the midst of the land,

¹¹ The burden of Duma calleth to me out of Seir: Watchman, what of the night? watchman, what of the night?

¹⁶ For thus saith the Lord to me: Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Cedar shall be taken away.

¹⁶ For thus saith the Lord to me: Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Cedar shall be taken away. ¹⁷ And the residue of the number of strong archers of the children of Cedar shall be diminished: for the Lord the God of Israel hath spoken it.

¹³ And behold joy and gladness, killing calves, and slaying rams, eating flesh, and drinking wine: Let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.

¹ Come near, ye Gentiles, and hear, and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein, the world, and every thing that cometh forth of it. ² For the indignation of the Lord is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath killed them, and delivered them to slaughter. ³ Their slain shall be cast forth, and out of their carcasses shall rise a stink: the mountains shall be melted with their blood. ⁴ And all the host of the heavens shall pine away, and the heavens shall be folded together as a book: and all their host shall fall down as the leaf falleth from the vine, and from the fig tree. ⁵ For my sword is inebriated in heaven: behold it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my slaughter unto judgment. ⁶ The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is made thick with the blood of lambs and buck goats, with the blood of rams full of marrow: for there is a victim of the Lord in Bosra and a great slaughter in the land of Edom. ⁷ And the unicorns shall go down with them, and the bulls with the mighty: their land shall be soaked with blood, and their ground with the fat of fat ones. ⁸ For it is the day of the vengeance of the Lord, the year of recompenses of the judgment of Sion. ⁹ And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the ground thereof into brimstone: and the land thereof shall become burning pitch. ¹⁰ Night and day it shall not be quenched, the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste, none shall pass through it for ever and ever. ¹¹ The bittern and ericius shall possess it: and the ibis and the raven shall dwell in it: and a line shall be stretched out upon it, to bring it to nothing, and a plummet, unto desolation. ¹² The nobles thereof shall not be there: they shall call rather upon the king, and all the princes thereof shall be nothing. ¹³ And thorns and nettles shall grow up in its houses, and the thistle in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be the habitation of dragons, and the pasture of ostriches. ¹⁴ And demons and monsters shall meet, and the hairy ones shall cry out one to another, there hath the lamia lain down, and found rest for herself. ¹⁵ There hath the ericius had its hole, and brought up its young ones, and hath dug round about, and cherished them in the shadow thereof: thither are the kites gathered together one to another. ¹⁶ Search ye diligently in the book of the Lord, and read: not one of them was wanting, one hath not sought for the other: for that which proceedeth out of my mouth, he hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them. ¹⁷ And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it to them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation they shall dwell therein.

³⁰ You shall faint, and labour, and young men shall fall by infirmity. ³¹ But they that hope in the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall take wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

¹¹ Let the desert and the cities thereof be exalted: Cedar shall dwell in houses: ye inhabitants of Petra, give praise, they shall cry from the top of the mountains.

¹¹ Thus saith the Lord the Holy One of Israel, his maker: Ask me of things to come, concerning my children, and concerning the work of my hands give ye charge to me.

⁹ Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall hear: thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou wilt take away the chain out of the midst of thee, and cease to stretch out the finger, and to speak that which profiteth not.

⁶ The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Madian and Epha: all they from Saba shall come, bringing gold and frankincense: and shewing forth praise to the Lord. ⁷ All the flocks of Cedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nabaioth shall minister to thee: they shall be offered upon my acceptable altar, and I will glorify the house of my majesty.

¹ Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bosra, this beautiful one in his robe, walking in the greatness of his strength. I, that speak justice, and am a defender to save. ² Why then is thy apparel red, and thy garments like theirs that tread in the winepress? ³ I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the Gentiles there is not a man with me: I have trampled on them in my indignation, and have trodden them down in my wrath, and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my apparel. ⁴ For the day of vengeance is in my heart, the year of my redemption is come. ⁵ I looked about, and there was none to help: I sought, and there was none to give aid: and my own arm hath saved for me, and my indignation itself hath helped me. ⁶ And I have trodden down the people in my wrath, and have made them drunk in my indignation, and have brought down their strength to the earth.

²⁴ And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will hear; as they are yet speaking, I will hear.

¹¹ Therefore am I full of the fury of the Lord, I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the child abroad, and upon the council of the young men together: for man and woman shall be taken, the ancient and he that is full of days.

²³ And Dedan, and Thema, and Buz, and all that have their hair cut round.

²⁵ And all the kings of Zambri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes:

⁷ Against Edom. Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Is wisdom no more in Theman? counsel is perished from her children: their wisdom is become unprofitable. ⁸ Flee and turn your backs, go down into the deep hole, ye inhabitants of Dedan: for I have brought the destruction of Esau upon him, the time of his visitation.

⁸ Flee and turn your backs, go down into the deep hole, ye inhabitants of Dedan: for I have brought the destruction of Esau upon him, the time of his visitation. ⁹ If grapegatherers had come to thee, would they not have left a bunch? if thieves in the night, they would have taken what was enough for them. ¹⁰ But I have made Esau bare, I have revealed his secrets, and he cannot be hid: his seed is laid waste, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he shall not be. ¹¹ Leave thy fatherless children: I will make them live: and thy widows shall hope in me. ¹² For thus saith the Lord: Behold they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup, shall certainly drink: and shalt thou come off as innocent? thou shalt not come off as innocent, but drinking thou shalt drink. ¹³ For I have sworn by myself, saith the Lord, that Bosra shall become a desolation, and a reproach, and a desert, and a curse: and all her cities shall be everlasting wastes. ¹⁴ I have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent to the nations: Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and let us rise up to battle. ¹⁵ For behold I have made thee a little one among the nations, despicable among men. ¹⁶ Thy arrogancy hath deceived thee, and the pride of thy heart: O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, and endeavourest to lay hold on the height of the hill: but though thou shouldst make thy nest as high as an eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord. ¹⁷ And Edom shall be desolate: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues. ¹⁸ As Sodom was overthrown and Gomorrha, and the neighbours thereof, saith the Lord: there shall not a man dwell there, and there shall no son of man inhabit it. ¹⁹ Behold one shall come up as a lion from the swelling of the Jordan, against the strong and beautiful: for I will make him run suddenly upon her: and who shall be the chosen one whom I may appoint over her? for who is like to me? and who shall abide me? and who is that shepherd that can withstand my countenance? ²⁰ Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, which he hath taken concerning Edom: and his thoughts which he hath thought concerning the inhabitants of Theman: surely the little ones of the flock shall cast them down, of a truth they shall destroy them with their habitation. ²¹ The earth is moved at the noise of their fall: the cry of their voice is heard in the Red Sea. ²² Behold he shall come up as an eagle, and fly: and he shall spread his wings over Bosra: and in that day the heart of the valiant ones of Edom shall be as the heart of a woman in labour.

³¹ And you defile yourselves with all your idols unto this day, in the offering of your gifts, when you make your children pass through the fire: and shall I answer you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord God, I will not answer you.

¹² Thus saith the Lord God: Because Edom hath taken vengeance to revenge herself of the children of Juda, and hath greatly offended, and hath sought revenge of them: ¹³ Therefore thus saith the Lord God: I will stretch forth my hand upon Edom, and will take away out of it man and beast, and will make it desolate from the south: and they that are in Dedan shall fall by the sword.

¹³ Therefore thus saith the Lord God: I will stretch forth my hand upon Edom, and will take away out of it man and beast, and will make it desolate from the south: and they that are in Dedan shall fall by the sword. ¹⁴ And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to my wrath, and my fury: and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord God.

⁶ They have cut thy oars out of the oaks of Basan: and they have made thee benches of Indian ivory and cabins with things brought from the islands of Italy.

²⁰ The men of Dedan were thy merchants in tapestry for seats.

¹ And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: ² Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy concerning it, and say to it: ³ Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, mount Seir, and I will stretch forth my hand upon thee, and I will make thee desolate and waste. ⁴ I will destroy thy cities, and thou shalt be desolate: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. ⁵ Because thou hast been an everlasting enemy, and hast shut up the children of Israel in the hands of the sword in the time of their affliction, in the time of their last iniquity. ⁶ Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God, I will deliver thee up to blood, and blood shall pursue thee: and whereas thou hast hated blood, blood shall pursue thee. ⁷ And I will make mount Seir waste and desolate: and I will take away from it him that goeth and him that returneth. ⁸ And I will fill his mountains with his men that are slain: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in thy torrents they shall fall that are slain with the sword. ⁹ I will make thee everlasting desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord God. ¹⁰ Because thou hast said: The two nations, and the two lands shall be mine, and I will possess them by inheritance: whereas the Lord was there. ¹¹ Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God, I will do according to thy wrath, and according to thy envy, which thou hast exercised in hatred to them: and I will be made known by them, when I shall have judged thee. ¹² And thou shalt know that I the Lord have heard all thy reproaches, that thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying. They are desolate, they are given to us to consume. ¹³ And you rose up against me with your mouth, and have derogated from me by your words: I have heard them. ¹⁴ Thus saith the Lord God: When the whole earth shall rejoice, I will make thee a wilderness. ¹⁵ As thou hast rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was laid waste, so will I do to thee: thou shalt be laid waste, O mount Seir, and all Idumea: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

³⁷ Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this shall the house of Israel find me, that I will do it for them: I will multiply them as a flock of men,

³ In the womb he supplanted his brother: and by his strength he had success with an angel.

¹¹ Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath pursued his brother with the sword, and hath carried on his fury, and hath kept his wrath to the end. ¹² I will send a fire into Theman: and it shall devour the houses of Bosra.

¹ The vision of Abdias. Thus saith the Lord God to Edom: We have heard a rumour from the Lord, and he hath sent an ambassador to the nations: Arise, and let us rise up to battle against him. ² Behold I have made thee small among the nations: thou art exceeding contemptible. ³ The pride of thy heart hath lifted thee up, who dwellest in the clefts of the rocks, and settest up thy throne on high: who sayest in thy heart: Who shall bring me down to the ground? ⁴ Though thou be exalted as an eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars: thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord. ⁵ If thieves had gone in to thee, if robbers by night, how wouldst thou have held thy peace? would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers had come in to thee, would they not have left thee at the least a cluster? ⁶ How have they searched Esau, how have they sought out his hidden things? ⁷ They have sent thee out even to the border: all the men of thy confederacy have deceived thee: the men of thy peace have prevailed against thee: they that eat with thee shall lay snares under thee: there is no wisdom in him. ⁸ Shall not I in that day, saith the Lord, destroy the wise out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau? ⁹ And thy valiant men of the south shall be afraid, that man may be cut off from the mount of Esau. ¹⁰ For the slaughter, and for the iniquity against thy brother Jacob, confusion shall cover thee, and thou shalt perish for ever. ¹¹ In the day when thou stoodest against him, when strangers carried away his army captive, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem: thou also wast as one of them. ¹² But thou shalt not look on in the day of thy brother, in the day of his leaving his country: and thou shalt not rejoice over the children of Juda, in the day of their destruction: and thou shalt not magnify thy mouth in the day of distress. ¹³ Neither shalt thou enter into the gate of my people in the day of their ruin: neither shalt thou also look on in his evils in the day of his calamity: and thou shalt not be sent out against his army in the day of his desolation. ¹⁴ Neither shalt thou stand in the crossways to kill them that flee: and thou shalt not shut up them that remain of him in the day of tribulation. ¹⁵ For the day of the Lord is at hand upon all nations: as thou hast done, so shall it be done to thee: he will turn thy reward upon thy own head. ¹⁶ For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so all nations shall drink continually: and they shall drink, and sup up, and they shall be as though they were not.

¹³ And the Lord said to me: Cast it to the statuary, a handsome price, that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and I cast them into the house of the Lord to the statuary.

² I have loved you, saith the Lord: and you have said: Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau brother to Jacob, saith the Lord, and I have loved Jacob, ³ But have hated Esau? and I have made his mountains a wilderness, and given his inheritance to the dragons of the desert. ⁴ But if Edom shall say: We are destroyed, but we will return and build up what hath been destroyed: thus saith the Lord of hosts: They shall build up, and I will throw down: and they shall be called the borders of wickedness, and the people with whom the Lord is angry for ever. ⁵ And your eyes shall see: and you shall say: The Lord be magnified upon the border of Israel.

¹⁴ And you have said: What have we spoken against thee? You have said: He laboureth in vain that serveth God, and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinances, and that we have walked sorrowful before the Lord of hosts?

² Abraham begot Isaac. And Isaac begot Jacob. And Jacob begot Judas and his brethren.

⁴⁵ That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who maketh his sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and raineth upon the just and the unjust.

²⁷ All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth the Son but the Father: neither doth any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom it shall please the Son to reveal him.

⁵ But they neglected and went their ways, one to his farm and another to his merchandise.

¹⁵ And said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you? But they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.

¹⁸ And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.

²³ And he swore to her: Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give thee, though it be the half of my kingdom.

⁷ And they had no son, for that Elizabeth was barren: and they both were well advanced in years.

¹³ But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachary, for thy prayer is heard: and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son. And thou shalt call his name John.

³⁴ Who was of Jacob, who was of Isaac, who was of Abraham, who was of Thare, who was of Nachor,

²⁷ And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet: and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.

¹¹ And which of you, if he ask his father bread, will he give him a stone? Or a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? ¹² Or if he shall ask an egg, will he reach him a scorpion? ¹³ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from heaven give the good Spirit to them that ask him?

¹⁸ And they began all at once to make excuse. The first said to him: I have bought a farm and I must needs go out and see it. I pray thee, hold me excused. ¹⁹ And another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen and I go to try them. I pray thee, hold me excused. ²⁰ And another said: I have married a wife; and therefore I cannot come.

³⁵ The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his hand.

² As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him.

⁵ And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and gave up the ghost. And there came great fear upon all that heard it.

¹⁰ Immediately, she fell down before his feet and gave up the ghost. And the young men coming in found her dead: and carried her out and buried her by her husband.

⁸ And he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And so he begot Isaac and circumcised him the eighth day: and Isaac begot Jacob: and Jacob, the twelve patriarchs.

²³ And forthwith an angel of the Lord struck him, because he had not given the honour to God: and, being eaten up by worms, he gave up the ghost.

³⁶ For David, when he had served in his generation, according to the will of God, slept: and was laid unto his fathers and saw corruption.

⁴¹ Behold, ye despisers, and wonder and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if any man shall tell it you.

^{17 (14:16)} Nevertheless he left not himself without testimony, doing good from heaven, giving rains and fruitful Seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

¹⁷ And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.

³² He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things?

⁷ Neither are all they that are the seed of Abraham, children: but in Isaac shall thy seed be called. ⁸ That is to say, not they that are the children of the flesh are the children of God: but they that are the children of the promise are accounted for the seed. ⁹ For this is the word of promise: According to this time will I come. And Sara shall have a son. ¹⁰ And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once of Isaac our father.

¹⁰ And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once of Isaac our father. ¹¹ For when the children were not yet born, nor had done any good or evil (that the purpose of God according to election might stand):

¹¹ For when the children were not yet born, nor had done any good or evil (that the purpose of God according to election might stand): ¹² Not of works, but of him that calleth, it was said to her: The elder shall serve the younger.

¹² Not of works, but of him that calleth, it was said to her: The elder shall serve the younger. ¹³ As it is written: Jacob I have loved: but Esau I have hated.

²¹ Let no man therefore glory in men. ²² For all things are yours, whether it be Paul or Apollo or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. For all are yours. ²³ And you are Christ's. And Christ is God's.

³² If (according to man) I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me, if the dead rise not again? Let us eat and drink, for to morrow we shall die.

²⁹ And if you be Christ's, then are you the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.

²⁸ Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

¹⁸ For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping) that they are enemies of the cross of Christ: ¹⁹ Whose end is destruction: whose God is their belly: and whose glory is in their shame: who mind earthly things.

¹⁹ Because in him, it hath well pleased the Father that all fulness should dwell:

² In these days, hath spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world.

¹⁶ For men swear by one greater than themselves: and an oath for confirmation is the end of all their controversy.

⁹ By faith he abode in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise.

¹⁶ Lest there be any fornicator or profane person, as Esau who for one mess sold his first birthright.

¹⁶ Lest there be any fornicator or profane person, as Esau who for one mess sold his first birthright. ¹⁷ For know ye that afterwards, when he desired to inherit the benediction, he was rejected. For he found no place of repentance, although with tears he had sought it.
