¹ Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?

¹¹ Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.

¹⁵ But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear.

^{14 (19:15)} And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight. O Lord, my helper and my Redeemer.

^{2 (22:3)} O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.

^{14 (22:15)} I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels. ^{15 (22:16)} My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death. ^{16 (22:17)} For many dogs have encompassed me: the council of the malignant hath besieged me. They have dug my hands and feet. ^{17 (22:18)} They have numbered all my bones. And they have looked and stared upon me.

^{11 (31:12)} I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled from me.

³ Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long. ⁴ For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.

^{11 (38:12)} My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off:

^{16 (38:17)} For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.

^{9 (41:10)} For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.

^{11 (41:12)} By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.

^{10 (42:11)} Whilst my bones are broken, my enemies who trouble me have reproached me; Whilst they say to me day be day: Where is thy God?

^{9 (44:10)} But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies. ^{10 (44:11)} Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: and they that hated us plundered for themselves. ^{11 (44:12)} Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: thou hast scattered us among the nations. ^{12 (44:13)} Thou hast sold thy people for no price: and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them. ^{13 (44:14)} Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scoff and derision to them that are round about us. ^{14 (44:15)} Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: a shaking of the head among the people.

^{16 (49:17)} Be not thou afraid, when a man shall be made rich, and when the glory of his house shall be increased. ^{17 (49:18)} For when he shall die he shall take nothing away; nor shall his glory descend with him.

^{12 (55:13)} For if my enemy had reviled me, I would verily have borne with it. And if he that hated me had spoken great things against me, I would perhaps have hidden my self from him.

^{12 (55:13)} For if my enemy had reviled me, I would verily have borne with it. And if he that hated me had spoken great things against me, I would perhaps have hidden my self from him. ^{13 (55:14)} But thou a man of one mind, my guide, and my familiar, ^{14 (55:15)} Who didst take sweetmeats together with me: in the house of God we walked with consent.

^{20 (55:21)} He hath stretched forth his hand to repay. They have defiled his covenant, ^{21 (55:22)} They are divided by the wrath of his countenance, and his heart hath drawn near. His words are smoother than oil, and the same are darts.

^{10 (58:11)} The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner. ^{11 (58:12)} And man shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: there is indeed a God that judgeth them on the earth.

^{7 (59:8)} Behold they shall speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: for who, say they, hath heard us?

^{26 (69:27)} Because they have persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; and they have added to the grief of my wounds.

²⁶ For thee my flesh and my heart hath fainted away: thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion for ever.

^{5 (102:6)} Through the voice of my groaning, my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.

^{11 (102:12)} My days have declined like a shadow, and I am withered like grass.

⁴ Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: but I gave myself to prayer. ⁵ And they repaid me evil for good: and hatred for my love.

³ Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.

¹⁹ The way of the wicked is darksome: they know not where they fall.

¹² If thou be wise, thou shalt be so to thyself: and if a scorner, thou alone shalt bear the evil.

¹⁸ There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with a sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health.

²¹ Death and life are in the power of the tongue: they that love it, shall eat the fruits thereof.

²⁴ A man amiable in society, shall be more friendly than a brother.

¹¹ For their near kinsman is strong: and he will judge their cause against thee.

⁹ Rejoice therefore, O young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart be in that which is good in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thy eyes: and know that for all these God will bring thee into judgment.

¹⁴ And all things that are done, God will bring into judgment for every error, whether it be good or evil.

⁵ And the people shall rush one upon another, and every man against his neighbour: the child shall make a tumult against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

¹ And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying: We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, take away our reproach.

¹ And the Lord said to me: Take thee a great book, and write in it with a man's pen. Take away the spoils with speed, quickly take the prey.

⁵ Woe to the Assyrian, he is the rod and the staff of my anger, and my indignation is in their hands. ⁶ I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will give him a charge against the people of my wrath, to take away the spoils, and to lay hold on the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

¹⁹ Thy dead men shall live, my slain shall rise again: awake, and give praise, ye that dwell in the dust: for thy dew is the dew of the light: and the land of the giants thou shalt pull down into ruin.

⁸ Now therefore go in and write for them upon box, and note it diligently in a book, and it shall be in the latter days for a testimony for ever.

¹⁴ Thus saith the Lord your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their bars, and the Chaldeans glorying in their ships.

¹⁰ Who is there among you that feareth the Lord, that heareth the voice of his servant, that hath walked in darkness, and hath no light? let him hope in the name of the Lord, and lean upon his God.

²³ And I will put it in the hand of them that have oppressed thee, and have said to thy soul: Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as a way to them that went over.

⁵ For he that made thee shall rule over thee, the Lord of hosts is his name: and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, shall be called the God of all the earth.

²⁰ And there shall come a redeemer to Sion, and to them that return from iniquity in Jacob, saith the Lord. ²¹ This is my covenant with them, saith the Lord: My spirit that is in thee, and my words that I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.

⁶ But you shall be called the priests of the Lord: to you it shall be said: Ye ministers of our God: you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and you shall pride yourselves in their glory.

¹⁶ Give ye glory to the Lord your God, before it be dark, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains: you shall look for light, and he will turn it into the shadow of death, and into darkness.

¹ The sin of Juda is written with a pen of iron, with the point of a diamond, it is graven upon the table of their heart, upon the horns of their altars.

⁸ For I am speaking now this long time, crying out against iniquity, and I often proclaim devastation: and the word of the Lord is made a reproach to me, and a derision all the day.

¹⁰ For I heard the reproaches of many, and terror on every side: Persecute him, and let us persecute him: from all the men that were my familiars, and continued at my side: if by any means he may be deceived, and we may prevail against him, and be revenged on him.

¹² Therefore their way shall be as a slippery way in the dark: for they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evils upon them, the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.

³⁴ Their redeemer is strong, the Lord of hosts is his name: he will defend their cause in judgment, to terrify the land, and to disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.

¹² Lamed. O all ye that pass by the way, attend, and see if there be any sorrow like to my sorrow: for he hath made a vintage of me, as the Lord spoke in the day of his fierce anger. ¹³ Mem. From above he hath sent fire into my bones, and hath chastised me: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate, wasted with sorrow all the day long.

⁵ He. The Lord is become as an enemy: he hath cast down Israel headlong, he hath overthrown all the walls thereof: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath multiplied in the danghter of Juda the afflicted, both men and women.

⁵ He. The Lord is become as an enemy: he hath cast down Israel headlong, he hath overthrown all the walls thereof: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath multiplied in the danghter of Juda the afflicted, both men and women. ⁶ Vau. And he hath destroyed his tent as a garden, he hath thrown down his tabernacle: the Lord hath caused feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Sion: and hath delivered up king and priest to reproach, and to the indignation of his wrath.

⁴ Beth. My skin and my flesh he hath made old, he hath broken my bones.

⁷ Ghimel. He hath built against me round about, that I may not get out: he hath made my fetters heavy. ⁸ Ghimel. Yea, and when I cry, and entreat, he hath shut out my prayer. ⁹ Ghimel. He hath shut up my ways with square stones, he hath turned my paths upside down.

⁸ Heth. Their face is now made blacker than coals, and they are not known in the streets: their skin hath stuck to their bones, it is withered, and is become like wood.

¹⁰ Our skin was burnt as an oven, by reason of the violence of the famine.

¹⁶ The crown is fallen from our head: woe to us, because we have sinned.

¹³ And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my net: and I will bring him into Babylon, into the land of the Chaldeans, and he shall not see it, and there he shall die.

⁴ Behold all souls are mine: as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, the same shall die.

³ Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: I will spread out my net over thee with the multitude of many people, and I will draw thee up in my net.

²⁰ And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the diviners, and wise men, that were in all his kingdom.

¹¹ As for Ephraim, their glory hath flown away like bird from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.

³ Who have eaten the flesh of my people, and have flayed their skin off them: and have broken, and chopped their bones as for the kettle, and as flesh in the midst of the pot.

⁵ Believe not a friend, and trust not in a prince: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that sleepeth in thy bosom. ⁶ For the son dishonoureth the father, and the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law: and a man's enemies are they of his own household.

⁸ Rejoice not, thou my enemy, over me, because I am fallen: I shall arise, when I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.

² How long, O Lord, shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? shall I cry out to thee suffering violence, and thou wilt not save? ³ Why hast thou shewn me iniquity and grievance, to see rapine and injustice before me? and there is a judgment, but opposition is more powerful.

¹⁰ This shall befall them for their pride: because they have blasphemed, and have been magnified against the people of the Lord of hosts.

⁷ And the Lord shall save the tabernacles of Jada, as in the beginning: that the house of David, and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, may not boast and magnify themselves against Juda.

⁸ Blessed are the clean of heart: they shall see God.

¹ Judge not, that you may not be judged. ² For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.

²¹ The brother also shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the son; and the children shall rise up against their parents, and shall put them to death.

⁵⁶ Now all this was done that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples, all leaving him, fled.

²⁵ Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he hath had regard to take away my reproach among men.

² And he answering, said to them: Think you that these Galileans were sinners above all the men of Galilee, because they suffered such things? ³ No, I say to you: but unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise perish. ⁴ Or those eighteen upon whom the tower fell in Siloe and slew them: think you that they also were debtors above all the men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

⁴⁸ And Jesus said to him: Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?

²² For neither does the Father judge any man: but hath given all judgment to the Son. ²³ That all men may honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father who hath sent him. ²⁴ Amen, amen, I say unto you that he who heareth my word and believeth him that sent me hath life everlasting: and cometh not into judgment, but is passed from death to life. ²⁵ Amen, amen, I say unto you, that the hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. ²⁶ For as the Father hath life in himself, so he hath given to the Son also to have life in himself. ²⁷ And he hath given him power to do judgment, because he is the Son of man. ²⁸ Wonder not at this: for the hour cometh wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God. ²⁹ And they that have done good things shall come forth unto the resurrection of life: but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.

¹² Again therefore, Jesus spoke to: them, saying: I am the light of the world. He that followeth me walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

² And his disciples asked him: Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?

³⁴ They answered and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins; and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

¹⁸ I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me shall lift up his heel against me,

¹⁵ Rejoice with them that rejoice: weep with them that weep.

¹ Let every soul be subject to higher powers. For there is no power but from God: and those that are ordained of God. ² Therefore, he that resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist purchase to themselves damnation. ³ For princes are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good: and thou shalt have praise from the same. ⁴ For he is God's minister to thee, for good. But if thou do that which is evil, fear: for he beareth not the sword in vain. For he is God's minister: an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doth evil.

²⁶ And if one member suffer any thing, all the members suffer with it: or if one member glory, all the members rejoice with it.

¹² We see now through a glass in a dark manner: but then face to face. Now I know in part: but then I shall know even as I am known.

⁵³ For this corruptible must put on incorruption: and this mortal must put on immortality.

⁸ In all things we suffer tribulation: but are not distressed. We are straitened: but are not destitute. ⁹ We suffer persecution: but are not forsaken. We are cast down: but we perish not.

¹⁰ For we must all be manifested before the judgment seat of Christ, that every one may receive the proper things of the body, according as he hath done, whether it be good or evil.

⁵ For every one shall bear his own burden.

⁷ In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his, grace,

²¹ Who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue all things unto himself.

¹⁶ At my first answer, no man stood with me: but all forsook me. May it not be laid to their charge!

³ Remember them that are in bands, as if you were bound with them: and them that labour, as being yourselves also in the body.

⁶ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is placed among our members, which defileth the whole body and inflameth the wheel of our nativity, being set on fire by hell. ⁷ For every nature of beasts and of birds and of serpents and of the rest is tamed and hath been tamed, by the nature of man. ⁸ But the tongue no man can tame, an unquiet evil, full of deadly poison.

¹¹ Detract not one another, my brethren. He that detracteth his brother, or he that judgeth his brother, detracteth the law and judgeth the law. But if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. ¹² There is one lawgiver and judge, that is able to destroy and to deliver.

⁷ And delivered just Lot, oppressed by the injustice and lewd conversation of the wicked: ⁸ For in sight and hearing he was just, dwelling among them who from day to day vexed the just soul with unjust works.

² Dearly beloved, we are now the sons of God: and it hath not yet appeared what we shall be. We know that when he shall appear we shall be like to him: because we shall see him as he is.

¹⁴ Now of these Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying: Behold, the Lord cometh with thousands of his saints:

⁷ Behold, he cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him: and they also that pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth shall bewail themselves because of him. Even so. Amen.

¹⁰ And they cried with a loud voice, saying: How long, O Lord (Holy and True), dost thou not judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
