THE LAMENTATION OF YAH VEH AGAINST YISRA EL
Hear this word I lift against you! A lamentation, O house of Yisra El. ² The virgin of Yisra El - fallen; she adds not to rise: forsaken on her soil she has no one to raise her up. ³ For thus says Adonay Yah Veh: The city that comes by a thousand leaves a hundred; and that which comes by a hundred leaves ten to the house of Yisra El. ⁴ For thus says Yah Veh to the house of Yisra El: Seek me, and live: ⁵ neither seek Beth El nor enter Gilgal nor pass through Beer Sheba: for in exiling, Gilgal is exiled, and Beth El becomes for mischief. ⁶ Seek Yah Veh, and live; lest he prospers as fire in the house of Yoseph and consumes; and no one in Beth El to quench it. ⁷ You who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off justness in the earth, ⁸ seek him who works Kimah and Kesil and turns the shadow of death into the morning and makes the day dark with night: who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them on the face of the earth: Yah Veh is his name: ⁹ - who releases the ravaged against the strong, so that the ravaged come against the fortress. ¹⁰ They hate him who reproves in the portal and they abhor him who words integriously: ¹¹ so because you trample on the poor and take his burdens of grain; you build houses of hewn stone, and you settle not therein; you plant vineyards of desire, and you drink not their wine. ¹² For I know your great rebellions and your mighty sins: they tribulate the just; they take a koper/atonement; and they pervert the needy in the portal. ¹³ So, in that time, the comprehending keep still; for it is an evil time. ¹⁴ Seek good, and not evil, so that you live: and so be it, as you say, Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth is with you. ¹⁵ Hate the evil and love the good and set judgment in the portal: perhaps Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth grants charism to the survivors of Yoseph. ¹⁶
THE DAY OF YAH VEH
So, thus says Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth Adonay: Chopping is in all streets; and in all the outways, they say, Hah! Hah! and they call the cultivator to mourning and such as know lamentation to chopping: ¹⁷ and in all vineyards, chopping: for I pass midst you, says Yah Veh. ¹⁸ Ho to you who desire the day of Yah Veh! To what end is it for you? The day of Yah Veh is darkness, and not light ¹⁹ - as a man flees the face of a lion and a bear meets him; or goes into the house and props his hand on the wall and a serpent bites him: ²⁰ Is not the day of Yah Veh darkness and not light? - even very dark with no brilliance therein? ²¹ I hate, I spurn your celebrations, and I scent not your private assemblies. ²² Though you holocaust your holocausts and offerings to me, I am neither pleased nor scan I the shelamim of your fatlings: ²³ turn aside the roar of your songs from me for I hear not the psalm of your bagpipes: ²⁴ and judgment rolls as waters and justness as a perennial wadi. ²⁵ Brought you near to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years O house of Yisra El? ²⁶ Yes, you bore the sukkoth/brush arbor of your sovereign and Kiun, the star of your elohim, the images you worked to yourselves. ²⁷ So I exile you beyond Dammeseq, says Yah Veh, whose name is Elohim Sabaoth.

²⁹ Shear your separatism and cast it away; and lift a lamentation on the barrens; for Yah Veh spurns and abandons the generation of his wrath:

¹⁰ For the mountains I lift a weeping and lamentation; and for the folds of the wilderness a lamentation: because they burned so that man neither passes through; nor hears the voice of the chattel; both the flyer of the heavens and the animal flee - gone.

¹⁷ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth, You, discern; and call for the lamenters to come; and send for the wise to come:

²⁰ Yet hear the word of Yah Veh, O you women, and your ear take the word of his mouth; and teach your daughters lamentation and every woman her friend lamentation.

¹
LAMENTATION
And you, lift a lamentation for the hierarchs of Yisra El,

¹⁴ and fire comes from a rod of her branches, which consumes her fruit, so that she has no rod of strength to become a scion to reign. This is a lamentation; and becomes for a lamentation.

¹⁷ and they lift a lamentation for you, and say to you, How you destruct, you settled of the seas; the renowned city - strong in the sea; she and her settlers, who give their terror on all who settle it!

² You, son of humanity, lift a lamentation for Sor;

²⁷ your wealth, and your markets, your merchandise, your mariners, and your sailers, your breach holders, and the pledgers of your merchandise, and all your men of war - in you and in all your congregation among you fall into the heart of the seas in the day of your ruin. ²⁸ The suburbs quake at the voice of the cry of your sailers: ²⁹ and all who manipulate the oar - the mariners and all the sailers of the sea descend from their ships; they stand on the land: ³⁰ and hearken their voice against you and cry bitterly and ascend dust on their heads: they wallow themselves in the ashes: ³¹ and in balding, they balden themselves for you, and gird themselves with saq; and they weep for you with bitterness of soul and bitter chopping: ³² and in their lamentation they lift a lamentation for you and lament over you, What is as Sor - as the severed midst the sea?

¹² Son of humanity, lift a lamentation on the sovereign of Sor, and say to him, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: You seal the gauge - full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

² Son of humanity, lift a lamentation for Paroh sovereign of Misrayim, and say to him, You are like a whelp of the goyim and as monsters in the seas: and you come forth with your rivers and trouble the waters with your feet and foul their rivers.

¹⁶ This is a lamentation; and they lament her: the daughters of the goyim lament her: they lament her, for Misrayim and for all her multitude they lament her - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

¹
THE WORD OF YAH VEH AGAINST THE SONS OF YISRA EL
Hear this word that Yah Veh words against you, O sons of Yisra El - against the whole family I ascended from the land of Misrayim, saying,

¹
YISRA EL UNREPENTANT
Hear this word, you heifers of Bashan in the mountain of Shomeron - who oppress the poor; who crush the needy; who say to their adonim, Bring, and we drink.

¹⁶
THE DAY OF YAH VEH
So, thus says Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth Adonay: Chopping is in all streets; and in all the outways, they say, Hah! Hah! and they call the cultivator to mourning and such as know lamentation to chopping:

⁴ In that day, one takes a proverb against you and laments with a lamentation of lamentations and says, In ravaging, we are ravaged: he changes the allotment of my people. How he removes it from me! In restoring, he allots our fields.

²⁹ In the days of Peqach sovereign of Yisra El Tilgath Pileser sovereign of Ashshur comes and takes Iyon and Abel Beth Maachah and Yanochah and Qedesh and Hasor and Gilad and Galiyl - all the land of Naphtali and exiles them to Ashshur.

¹⁶ and they leave all the misvoth of Yah Veh their Elohim; and work moltens - two calves and work an asherah and prostrate to all the host of the heavens and serve Baal:

⁸ For Yeru Shalem falters and Yah Hudah falls: because of their tongue and their exploitations against Yah Veh - to rebel against the eyes of his honor:

²¹ Prepare slaughter for his sons for the perversity of their fathers; that they neither rise nor possess the land nor fill the face of the world with cities.

²⁰ in staggering, the earth staggers as intoxicated and sways as a hammock; and the rebellion thereon is heavy: and it falls, and rises not.

²² this is the word Yah Veh words concerning him: The virgin, the daughter of Siyon, despises you, ridicules you; the daughter of Yeru Shalem shakes her head behind you.

¹⁷ who brings forth the chariot and horse, the valiant and the strong; they lie down together, they rise not: they are extinguished; they are quenched as flax.

¹⁷
THE CUP OF THE FURY OF YAH VEH
Waken! Waken! Rise, O Yeru Shalem who, at the hand of Yah Veh, drank the cup of his fury; the chalice of the cup of staggering you drank and wrung out. ¹⁸ There is neither one to guide her among all the sons whom she birthed; nor is there any, of all the sons she nourished, who holds her by the hand.

²⁷ saying to a tree, You are my father; and to a stone, You birthed me: for they face the nape of their neck to me and not their face: and in the time of their evil they say, Rise! and, Save us!

²⁰ Breech upon breech is called out; for the whole land is ravaged: suddenly my tents are ravaged - and my curtains in a blink.

¹⁷ You, say this word to them; My eyes drip with tears night and day and they cease not: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breaking - with a mighty stroking stroke.

¹³ So thus says Yah Veh; Ask I beseech you, among the goyim, Who ever heard such? The virgin of Yisra El works mighty horribly.

¹² For thus says Yah Veh: Your breech is incurable and your wound is worn: ¹³ - no one pleads your cause - bandages you, no bandage healers. ¹⁴ All your lovers forget you; they seek you not: for I smite you with the wound of an enemy; with the chastisement of a cruel one; for the abundance of your perversity; your sins are mighty.

⁴ in building, I build you again, O virgin of Yisra El: adorn you again with your tambourines and you come forth in the round dancing of entertainers:

³² and the arrogant to falter and fall with no one to raise him: and I kindle a fire in his cities, and it consumes all all around him.

⁶⁴ and say, Thus Babel drowns, and rises not from the face of the evil that I bring on her: and they weary. Thus far are the words of Yirme Yah.

¹⁶ I weep for these; my eye - my eye cascades with water, because the sigher to restore my soul is far from me; my sons desolate, for the enemy prevails mightily. ¹⁷ Siyon spreads her hands and there is no one to sigh over her; Yah Veh commands concerning Yaaqov, that his tribulators surround him; Yeru Shalem is excluded among them. ¹⁸ Yah Veh is just; for I rebelled against his mouth; hear, I pray you, all people and see my sorrow; my virgins and my young men - gone into captivity. ¹⁹ I call for my beloveds; they - they deceive me; my priests and my elders expire in the city while they seek food to restore their souls.

¹³ What take I to witness for you? What liken I to you, O daughter of Yeru Shalem? What equate I to you, so that I sigh over you, O virgin daughter of Siyon? For your breach is great as the sea; who heals you?

³⁶ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because your copper is poured, and your nakedness exposed through your whoredoms with your lovers and with all the idols of your abhorrences, and by the blood of your sons, which you give them; ³⁷ behold, so I gather all your lovers whom you pleased and all whom you loved with all whom you hated - and I gather them all around against you and expose your nakedness to them so that they see all your nakedness.

² after two days he enlivens us; in the third day he raises us; and we live at his face.

¹
YAH VEH APPEALS TO YISRA EL
O Yisra El, return to Yah Veh your Elohim; for you falter by your perversity.

² And so be it, they finish eating the herbage of the land, and I say, Adonay Yah Veh, forgive, I beseech you: How rises Yaaqov? For he is small. ³ Yah Veh sighs for this: So be it not, says Yah Veh. ⁴ Thus Adonay Yah Veh shows me: and behold, Adonay Yah Veh calls to contend by fire; and it consumes the great abyss and eats an allotment. ⁵ And I say, O Adonay Yah Veh, cease, I beseech you: How rises Yaaqov? For he is small.

¹⁴ they who oath by the guilt of Shomeron, and say, Your elohim, O Dan, lives! and, The way of Beer Sheba lives! - even they fall and never rise again.

¹¹
THE RESTORATION OF YISRA EL
In that day I raise the fallen sukkoth/brush arbor of David and wall the breaches; and I raise his ruins and I build it as in the original days:

²⁷ and Yah Veh scatter you among the nations and you be few men in number of the people who survive, where Yah Veh drives you.

⁶² and you survive, few men in number, whereas you were as the stars of the heavens for abundance; all because you hear not the voice of Yah Veh your Elohim.

⁹ Unless Yah Veh Sabaoth had a very few survivors remain, we had become as Sedom; likened to Amorah.

¹³ And yet there is a tenth therein that returns to burn as an oak tree and as an oak with its stump, when they cast: the holy seed is the stump.

²² For though your people Yisra El become as the sand of the sea, their survivors return: the appointed consumption overflows with justness:

¹⁶ And I leave of them remaining from the sword from the famine and from the pestilence so that they scribe all their abhorrences among the goyim where they go; and they know I - Yah Veh.

⁹ And so be it, if ten men remain in one house, they die:

²⁷ Yesha Yah also cries in behalf of Yisra El, Whenever the number of the sons of Yisra El become as the sand of the sea, only the remnant is saved:

¹
THE OPEN INVITATION OF YAH VEH And so be it, when all these words come on you - the blessing and the abasement that I give at your face; and you restore them to heart among all the goyim where Yah Veh your Elohim has driven you; ² and you return to Yah Veh your Elohim and hear his voice according to all I misvah you this day - you and your sons with all your heart and with all your soul; ³ then Yah Veh your Elohim turns your captivity and mercies you and returns and gathers you from all the goyim - wherever Yah Veh your Elohim scattered you: ⁴ and so be it, if you are expelled to the ends of the heavens, from thence Yah Veh your Elohim gathers you; and from thence he takes you: ⁵ and Yah Veh your Elohim brings you to possess the land your fathers possessed: and he well-pleases you and abounds you above your fathers: ⁶ and Yah Veh your Elohim circumcises your heart and the heart of your seed - to love Yah Veh your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul for your life: ⁷ and Yah Veh your Elohim gives all these oaths on your enemies and on them who hate you - who pursue you. ⁸ And you return and hear the voice of Yah Veh and work all his misvoth which I misvah you this day:

⁹ And you, Shelomoh my son, know the Elohim of your father; and serve him with a heart of shalom and with a soul of desire: for Yah Veh examines all hearts and discerns all the imaginations of fabrications: if you seek him, you find him; and if you forsake him, he abandons you eternally.

² and he goes out at the face of Asa and says to him, Hear me, Asa and all Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin; Yah Veh is with you, in your being with him; and if you seek him, he is found of you; but if you forsake him, he forsakes you.

³ And Yah Shaphat awes and gives his face to seek Yah Veh; and calls a fast over all Yah Hudah:

³ And in the eighth year of his reign - he is still a lad he begins to seek after the Elohim of David his father: and in the twelfth year he begins to purify Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem from the bamahs and the asherim and the sculptiles and the molten:

² Yah Veh, from the heavens, looks down on the sons of humanity, to see if there is one who comprehends and seeks Elohim.

²⁶ The humble eat - satisfied; they who seek Yah Veh halal him; your heart lives eternally.

⁸ My heart says to you, Seek my face; Your face, O Yah Veh, I seek.

³² The humble see, and cheer; your heart lives - you who seek Elohim.

³ halal in his holy name; the heart of them who seek Yah Veh cheers. ⁴ Seek Yah Veh and his strength; seek his face continually:

³ Spread your ear, and come to me; hear, and your soul lives; and I cut an eternal covenant with you - the trustworthy mercies of David.

⁶ Seek Yah Veh while he is to be found; call on him while he is near: ⁷ the wicked forsake his way; and the man of mischief, his fabrications: and he returns to Yah Veh, and he mercies him; and to our Elohim, for he abounds to forgive.

¹² And you, call on me; and come and pray to me; and I hearken to you: ¹³ and you, seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart:

²⁵ Yah Veh is good to them who await him - to the soul who seeks him: ²⁶ - good to await - to silently await the salvation of Yah Veh.

⁶ Seek Yah Veh, and live; lest he prospers as fire in the house of Yoseph and consumes; and no one in Beth El to quench it.

³ Seek Yah Veh, all you humble of the earth, who do his judgment: seek justness; seek humility: perhaps you are hidden in the day of the wrath of Yah Veh.

⁸ for everyone who asks, takes; and whoever seeks, finds; and whoever knocks, it opens.

³³ And he plants a grove in Beer Sheba and calls on the name of Yah Veh, the eternal El:

³⁰ And I destroy your bamahs and cut down your sun icons and give your carcases on the carcases of your idols that my soul loathe you: ³¹ and I give your cities as parched areas and desolate your holies and I scent not your scent of rest: ³² and I desolate the land and desolate your enemies who settle therein:

⁴¹ you birth sons and daughters but enjoy them not; for they go to captivity:

¹⁶ and he goes enough from year to year and turns around to Beth El and Gilgal and Mispeh and judges Yisra El in all those places:

¹⁴ Then Shemu El says to the people, Come and go to Gilgal and renew the sovereigndom there.

²² and they who hate you enrobe with shame; and the tent of the wicked comes to nought.

¹⁰ Yah Veh voids the counsel of the goyim; he annuls the fabrications of the people:

¹⁰ in counselling, counsel; and it breaks; word the word, and it rises not: for El is with us.

²⁰ For the tyrant ceases and the scorner is finished off; and all who watch for mischief are cut off

¹⁵ Though you, Yisra El, whore, and you, O Yah Hudah, neither guilt nor come to Gilgal; neither ascend to Beth Aven nor oath, Yah Veh lives.

¹⁵ All their evil is in Gilgal; surely, there I hated them: for the evil of their exploits I drive them from my house; I add not to love them: all their governors are revolters.

⁸ And the bamahs of Aven, the sin of Yisra El, desolates: the thorn and the thistle ascend on their sacrifice altars; and they say to the mountains, Cover us! and to the hills, Fall on us!

¹⁴ And an uproar rises among your people; and ravages all your fortresses as Shalman ravaged Beth Arb El in the day of war: - the mother splattered on her sons. ¹⁵ Thus Beth El works to you at the face of the evil of your evil: in the dawn in severing, sever the sovereign of Yisra El.

¹¹ Is there mischief in Gilad? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice oxen in Gilgal; yes, their sacrifice altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.

⁴ Come to Beth El, and rebel; abound rebellion at Gilgal: and bring your sacrifices at morning, and your tithes after three years of days:

¹⁷ So Yah Veh says thus: Your woman whores in the city and your sons and your daughters fall by the sword and your soil is allotted by line; and you die in a foul soil: and in exiling, Yisra El is exiled from his soil.

²⁸ and the ignoble of the cosmos and the belittled Elohim selects; yes, and those not being to inactivate those being:

⁶ But we speak wisdom among the completed/shalamed: - yet neither the wisdom of this eon nor of the archs of this eon who inactivate:

¹⁷ Because in one hour so vast riches are desolated.
PILOTS, PASSENGERS, AND SAILERS CRY OVER THE FALL OF BABEL
And every pilot and all the homogeneous crowd in sailers and ship crew and as many as work by sea stand from afar;

⁸ And Yisra El sees the sons of Yoseph, and says, Who are these? ⁹ And Yoseph says to his father, They are my sons, whom Elohim gave me. And he says, Take them, I pray you, to me; and I bless them. ¹⁰ And the eyes of Yisra El became heavy from aging so that he cannot see: and he brings them near him; and he kisses them and embraces them. ¹¹ And Yisra El says to Yoseph, I had not prayed to see your face: and behold, Elohim also shows me your seed. ¹² And Yoseph brings them out from between his knees and he prostrates with his nostrils to the earth: ¹³ and Yoseph takes the two of them, Ephrayim in his right toward the left of Yisra El; and Menash Sheh in his left toward the right of Yisra El and brings them near to him: ¹⁴ and Yisra El spreads his right and puts it on the head of Ephrayim the lesser and his left on the head of Menash Sheh - crossing his hands; for Menash Sheh is the firstbirth. ¹⁵ And he blesses Yoseph and says, Elohim, at whose face my fathers Abraham and Yischaq walked, Elohim who tends me all my life long to this day, ¹⁶ the Angel who redeems me from all evil, bless the lads: and call my name on them and the name of my fathers Abraham and Yischaq: and that they spawn as fish into a multitude midst of the earth. ¹⁷ And Yoseph sees that his father put his right on the head of Ephrayim; and it is evil in his eyes: and he upholds the hand of his father to turn it aside from the head of Ephrayim to the head of Menash Sheh: ¹⁸ and Yoseph says to his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstbirth; put your right on his head. ¹⁹ And his father refuses and says, I know, my son, I know: he also becomes a people and he also greatens: but his younger brother becomes greater than he and his seed becomes a fulness of goyim. ²⁰ And he blesses them that day, saying, In you, Yisra El blesses, saying, Elohim sets you as Ephrayim and as Menash Sheh: and he sets Ephrayim at the face of Menash Sheh.

⁶ If fire breaks out and finds thorns, so that the heaps of corn or the stalks or the field consume; in shalaming, whoever kindles the kindling, shalams.

²⁴ For Yah Veh your Elohim is a consuming fire - a jealous El.

⁵ - allot it into seven allotments: Yah Hudah stands in their border on the south; and the house of Yoseph stands in their border on the north:

²² And the house of Yoseph ascends against Beth El: and Yah Veh is with them. ²³ And the house of Yoseph sends to explore Beth El - the former name of the city is Luz.

²⁰ for your servant knows I sinned: and behold, I come this day - the first of all the house of Yoseph to descend to meet my adoni the sovereign.

²⁸ and the man Yarob Am is mighty of valour: and Shelomoh sees how the lad works, and makes him overseer over all the burden of the house of Yoseph:

³¹ and the powerful become as tuft and his deeds as a spark; and they both burn together, and no one quenches.

⁶ Seek Yah Veh while he is to be found; call on him while he is near:

⁴ circumcise yourselves to Yah Veh and turn aside the foreskins of your heart, you men of Yah Hudah and settlers of Yeru Shalem: lest my fury comes forth as fire and burns so that no one can quench it at the face of the evil of your exploitations.

²⁰ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh; Behold, my wrath and my fury poured on this place - on humanity and on animal and on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the soil: and it burns and quenches not.

⁴⁷ and say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of Yah Veh; Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Behold, I kindle a fire in you; and it consumes every fresh tree in you and every dry tree: the flaming flame quenches not; and all faces from the south to the north inflame: ⁴⁸ and all flesh sees that I Yah Veh burn it: it quenches not.

¹¹ Say to them, I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh, I delight not in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn - turn from your evil ways; for why die, O house of Yisra El?

¹⁹ Word to them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Behold, I take the tree of Yoseph, in the hand of Ephrayim, and the scions of Yisra El his companions, and give them with him, with the tree of Yah Hudah, and work them, one tree, and they become one in my hand.

⁴ For thus says Yah Veh to the house of Yisra El: Seek me, and live:

¹⁴ Seek good, and not evil, so that you live: and so be it, as you say, Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth is with you.

⁶ who drink wine in sprinklers and anoint themselves with the firstlings ointments; who are not worn out for the breach of Yoseph:

⁶ And the house of Yah Hudah prevails mightily, and I save the house of Yoseph and I resettle them; for I mercy them: and they become as though I cast them not off: for I - Yah Veh their Elohim, and I answer them.

⁴³
AMPUTATE WHEN NECESSARY
And whenever your hand scandalizes you, amputate: it is good for you to enter life maimed, rather than two hands go in Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning - into the fire unquenchable: ⁴⁴ where their maggot dies not and the fire quenches not. ⁴⁵ And whenever your foot scandalizes you, amputate: it is good for you to enter life lame, rather than two feet cast in Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning - in the fire unquenchable: ⁴⁶ where their maggot dies not and the fire quenches not. ⁴⁷ And whenever your eye scandalizes you, cast it out: it is good for you to enter the sovereigndom of Elohim one-eyed, rather than two eyes cast in Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning fire: ⁴⁸ where their maggot dies not, and the fire quenches not.

¹⁸ lest there be among you man or woman or family or scion whose heart turns this day from the face of Yah Veh our Elohim, to go and serve the elohim of these goyim; lest there be among you a root that bears the fruit of rosh and wormwood.

³ The words of his mouth are mischief and deceit; he ceases comprehending, and to well-please:

⁵ as for such as pervert to their crookednesses, Yah Veh walks them with the doers of mischief. Shalom on Yisra El.

²³ your governors revolt - companions of thieves: every one loves bribes and pursues bribes: they neither judge the orphan, nor comes the plea of the widow to them

⁷ For the vineyard of Yah Veh Sabaoth is the house of Yisra El, and the men of Yah Hudah his plant of delights: and he awaits judgment; and behold, oppression: for justness; and behold, a cry.

¹
HO TO THE SCRIBES
Ho to them engraving statutes of mischief, and inscribers incribing toil;

¹³ In rebelling and lying against Yah Veh; and departing from our Elohim: wording oppression and revolt; conceiving and muttering from the heart words of falsehood: ¹⁴ and judgment removes backward and justness stands afar off: for truth falters in the broadway and straightforwardness cannot enter.

²⁰ And when the just turns from his justness and works wickedness, and I give a stumblingblock at his face, he dies: because you enlighten him not, he dies in his sin; and the justness he worked is not remembered; and I seek his blood at your hand.

²⁴ But when the just turns from his justness, and works wickedness, and works according to all the abhorrences the wicked work, lives he? All the justness he worked are not remembered: in his treason, he treasoned, and in the sin he sinned, he dies.

¹² And you, son of humanity, say to the sons of your people, The justness of the just rescues him not in the day of his rebellion: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he falters not in the day he turns from his wickedness; and the just are not able to live by it in the day he sins. ¹³ When I say to the just, In living, he lives! - and he confides in his own justness and works wickedness, all his justnesses are not remembered: and for the wickedness he works, he dies for it.

¹⁸ When the just turns from his justness, and works wickedness, he dies thereby:

⁴ They word words; oathing vainly in cutting a covenant: thus judgment springs as rosh in the furrows of the field:

¹¹ so because you trample on the poor and take his burdens of grain; you build houses of hewn stone, and you settle not therein; you plant vineyards of desire, and you drink not their wine. ¹² For I know your great rebellions and your mighty sins: they tribulate the just; they take a koper/atonement; and they pervert the needy in the portal.

¹² Run horses on the rock? Plows one with oxen? For you turn judgment into rosh and the fruit of justness into wormwood.

¹²
THE SECOND BURDEN OF HABAKKUK
Are you not from antiquity, O Yah Veh my Elohim, my Holy One? We die not, O Yah Veh: you set them for judgment; and O Rock, you founded them for reproof: ¹³ - eyes, purer than to see evil, that cannot look on toil: Why look on them who deal covertly? And hush when the wicked swallow him who is more just? ¹⁴ Works humanity as the fishes of the sea? As the creepers who have no sovereign over them?

⁶ and they who apostatize from Yah Veh - who neither seek Yah Veh nor enquire of him.

¹¹ In the year - the six hundredth year of the life of Noach, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, this day all the fountains of the great abyss split and the windows of the heavens open. ¹² And the downpour becomes on the earth forty days and forty nights. ¹³ In the same day Noach and Shem and Ham and Yepheth the sons of Noach and the woman of Noach and the three women of his sons with them, enter into the ark ¹⁴ - they and every live being in species and all the animals in species and every creeper creeping on the earth in species and every flyer in species - every bird of every wing: ¹⁵ and they go in to Noach into the ark - two by two of all flesh wherein is the spirit of life. ¹⁶ And going in, they go in male and female of all flesh, as Elohim misvahed him: and Yah Veh shuts him in. ¹⁷ And so be the flood, forty days on the earth; and the waters abound and bear the ark and lift it above the earth: ¹⁸ and the waters prevail mightily and abound mightily on the earth; and the ark goes on the face of the waters: ¹⁹ and the waters prevail mightily - mightily mighty on the earth; and cover all the high mountains under the whole heavens: ²⁰ fifteen cubits upward the waters prevail mightily; and cover the mountains.

²¹ And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Spread your hand toward the heavens that there be darkness over the land of Misrayim - even darkness which becomes felt. ²² And Mosheh spreads his hand toward the heavens; and there becomes a darkened darkness in all the land of Misrayim three days: ²³ they neither see man to brother nor rise any from his place for three days: but all the sons of Yisra El have light in their settlements.

²⁴ And so be it, in the morning watch, Yah Veh looks to the camp of the Misrayim through the pillar of fire and of the cloud and agitates the camp of the Misrayim; ²⁵ and clogs* their chariot wheels so that they drive them with heaviness: so that the Misrayim say, Let us flee from the face of Yisra El; for Yah Veh fights for them against the Misrayim. *clogs: see Lamsa ²⁶ And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Spread your hand over the sea, and return the waters on the Misrayim on their chariots and on their cavalry. ²⁷ And Mosheh spreads his hand over the sea and the sea returns perennial at the face of the morning; and the Misrayim flee from confronting it; and Yah Veh shakes off the Misrayim midst the sea: ²⁸ and the waters return and cover the chariots and the cavalry and all the valiant of Paroh who come into the sea after them; not even one of them survives.

⁴⁴ And so be it, at the seventh he says, Behold, a little thick cloud ascends from the sea - as a palm of a man. And he says, Ascend, say to Ach Ab, Bind; and descend that the rain not restrain you. ⁴⁵ And so be it, the heavens darken - thick clouds and wind and a great rain. - and Ach Ab rides and goes to Yizre El.

⁹ Who works Ash, Kesil and Kimah and the chambers of the south?

²² he exposes depths from darkness and brings the shadow of death to light.

¹³ he causes it to come whether for a scion, or for his land, or for mercy.

¹² Misvahed you the morning since your days? And had the dawn to know his place? ¹³ And took hold of the wings of the earth to shake the wicked therefrom?

³¹ Bind you the bonds of Kimah? Loose you the cords of Kesil? ³² Bring you forth the constellations in their time? - lead Ash with his sons?

³⁴ - lift your voice to the thick clouds so that abundance of waters cover you?

⁶ You covered the abyss as a robe; the waters stand above the mountains; ⁷ from your rebuke they flee; from the voice of your thunder they hasten away: ⁸ they ascend by the mountains; they descend by the valleys to the place you founded for them. ⁹ You set a border that they neither pass over nor turn again to cover the earth:

²⁰ You set darkness and it is night; wherein all the live beings of the forest creep:

²⁸ he sent darkness and it darkened; they rebelled not against his word;

¹⁰ - such as settle in darkness and in the shadow of death - bound in humiliation and iron: ¹¹ because they rebel against the sayings of El and scorn the counsel of Elyon: ¹² he subdues their heart with toil; they stumble and there is no helper. ¹³ And they cry to Yah Veh in their tribulation and he saves them from their distresses: ¹⁴ he brings them from darkness and the shadow of death; and tears their bands.

¹⁶ and I carry the blind by a way they know not; I tread them in paths they know not: I set darkness light at their face and crooked straight: I work these words to them and forsake them not.

¹⁰ we grope for the wall as the blind; and we grope as if we have no eyes: we falter at noon as in the evening breeze; in fertile fields as the dead:

¹³ For behold, he who formed the mountains and created the wind, who tells his meditation to humanity, who works the dawn darkness, who treads on the bamahs of the earth, Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth is his name.

⁹ And so be it, in that day, - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh that I decend the sun at noon and I darken the earth in the light of day:

⁶ He who builds his steps in the heavens and founds his band in the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them on the face of the earth; Yah Veh is his name.

¹⁶ the people sitting in darkness see a mega light; and to them sitting in the region and shadow of death light rises. ^{Isaiah 9:1, 2}

⁷⁹ to appear on them who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death; to direct our feet in the way of shalom.

¹⁷ and he says, Open the window eastward! - and he opens. Then Eli Shua says, Shoot! - and he shoots. And he says, The arrow of the salvation of Yah Veh and the arrow of the salvation of Aram! Smite the Aramiy in Apheq until you finish them off.

²⁵ and Yah Ash the son of Yah Achaz returns and takes the cities from the hand of Ben Hadad the son of Haza El which he took by war from the hand of Yah Achaz his father: and Yah Ash smites him three times and returns the cities of Yisra El.

¹⁰ For though you smite all the valiant of the Kesediym who fight against you, and there survives but wounded men among them, every man rises from his tent to burn this city with fire.

¹¹ and I cut off the cities of your land and demolish all your fortresses:

³⁴ quenched the dynamis of fire, fled the edge of the sword, from frailty were empowered, became mighty in war, put down the encampments of others,

¹⁷ and so be it, Ach Ab sees Eli Yah, and Ach Ab says to him, Are you he who troubles Yisra El?

²⁰ And Ach Ab says to Eli Yah, Have you found me, O my enemy? And he says, I have found: because you sold yourself to work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh:

⁸ And the sovereign of Yisra El says to Yah Shaphat, There is still one man, Michah Yah the son of Yimlah, by whom we may enquire of Yah Veh: but I hate him; for he prophesies no good concerning me; but evil. And Yah Shaphat says, O that the sovereign not say thus.

²⁰ And the Spirit of Elohim enrobes Zechar Yah the son of Yah Yada the priest - who stands above the people and says to them, Thus says Elohim, Why trespass you the misvoth of Yah Veh, and prosper not? Because you forsake Yah Veh, he forsakes you. ²¹ And at the misvah of the sovereign they conspire against him; and stone him with stones in the court of the house of Yah Veh. ²² Thus Yah Ash the sovereign remembers not the mercy Yah Yada his father worked to him; but slaughters his son. And as he dies, he says, Yah Veh sees and requires.

¹⁶ And so be it, as he words with him, he says to him, Who gives you to be counsellor to the sovereign? Cease! Why be smitten? Then the prophet ceases and says, I know Elohim counsels to ruin, because you work this and hearken not to my counsel.

¹⁶ and they deride the angels of Elohim and despise his words and deceive his prophets until the fury of Yah Veh ascends against his people - until there is no healing.

⁷ He who disciplines a scorner takes abasement to himself: and he who reproves the wicked blemishes. ⁸ Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate you; reprove a wise, and he loves you:

²¹ - who cause humanity to sin in word and ensnare him who reproves in the portal and pervert the just for a waste.

¹⁶ I neither hasten from tending after you nor desire I the incurable day: you, you know that what proceeds from my lips is straightforward at your face. ¹⁷ Be not my ruin: you are my refuge in the day of evil.

⁷
THE COMPLAINT OF YIRME YAH
O Yah Veh, you delude me and I am deluded: you are stronger than I and you prevail: I am ridiculed daily; every one derides me: ⁸ for I word enough; I call out; I cry violence and ravage; because of the word of Yah Veh is a reproach to me; and a ridicule, daily. ⁹ Then I say, I neither mention him, nor word any more in his name: and it is in my heart as a burning fire restrained in my bones: and I am weary with containing and I am not able: ¹⁰ for I hear the slandering of many: terror is all around. Tell, and we tell! - all my men of shalom guard at my limping side, Perhaps he is deluded; and we prevail against him; and we take our avengement on him.

¹⁰ And Amas Yah the priest of Beth El sends to Yarob Am sovereign of Yisra El, saying, Amos conspires against you among the house of Yisra El: the land is not able to contain all his words. ¹¹ For Amos says thus: Yarob Am dies by the sword, and in exiling, Yisra El is exiled from their own soil. ¹² Also Amas Yah says to Amos, O you seer, go, flee into the land of Yah Hudah, and there eat bread, and there prophesy: ¹³ and add not to prophesy any more at Beth El: for it is the holies of the sovereigndom and it is the house of the sovereign. ¹⁴ Then Amos answers and says to Amas Yah, I am neither a prophet nor a son of a prophet; but I am a herdman and a pincher of sycomores: ¹⁵ and as I follow the flock, Yah Veh takes me and Yah Veh says to me, Go, prophesy to my people Yisra El. ¹⁶ And now, hear the word of Yah Veh: You say, Neither prophesy against Yisra El nor drip against the house of Yischaq. ¹⁷ So Yah Veh says thus: Your woman whores in the city and your sons and your daughters fall by the sword and your soil is allotted by line; and you die in a foul soil: and in exiling, Yisra El is exiled from his soil.

²⁰ For everyone doing evil hates the light; and comes not to the light lest his works be reproved:

⁷ The cosmos cannot hate you; but it hates me - because I witness concerning it that its works are evil.

⁴⁵ And because I word you the truth you trust me not. ⁴⁶ Which of you reproves me for sin? And if I word the truth, why trust you me not? ⁴⁷ Whoever is of Elohim, hears the rhema of Elohim: so you hear them not because you are not of Elohim.

¹⁹ If you are of the cosmos, the cosmos ever befriends his own: but because you are not of the cosmos, but I chose you from the cosmos, because of this the cosmos hates you.

²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin: but now they have no pretext for their sin. ²³ Whoever hates me hates my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

¹⁰ And they who settle on the earth cheer over them and rejoice; and send honorariums to one another; because these two prophets tortured them who settle on the earth.

³⁰ You betroth a woman and another man rapes her; you build a house and you settle not therein; you plant a vineyard and pluck not thereof:

³⁸ You carry much seed to the field but ingather little; for the locust consumes it: ³⁹ you plant vineyards and serve them, but neither drink the wine nor gather the grapes; for the maggots eat them:

⁷ For the vineyard of Yah Veh Sabaoth is the house of Yisra El, and the men of Yah Hudah his plant of delights: and he awaits judgment; and behold, oppression: for justness; and behold, a cry. ⁸
HO AND JUDGMENT
Ho to them who touch house to house, who approach field to field, until the final place, to settle alone midst the earth!

²¹ And they build houses, and settle them; and they plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them: ²² they build not for another to settle; they plant not for another to eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and my chosen waste away the work of their hands.

¹⁵ and I smite the winter house with the summer house; and destroy the houses of ivory, and consummate the great houses - an oracle of Yah Veh.

² and they desire fields and strip them; and houses, and bear them away: and oppress a mighty and his house - even a man and his inheritance.

¹
THE WORD OF YAH VEH TO YAAQOV AND YISRA EL
And I say, Hear, I beseech you, O heads of Yaaqov and you commanders of the house of Yisra El; Is it not for you to know judgment? ² - Who hate the good and love the evil? Who strip their skin from off them and their flesh from off their bones? ³ Who eat the flesh of my people? They strip their skin and they break their bones; and spread them as for the caldron and as flesh within the caldron.

¹⁵ You - you seed, and you harvest not; you - you tread the olive, and you anoint not with oil; and juice, and you drink not the wine.

¹³ And their valuables become a plunder, and their houses a desolation: and they build houses, and settle not; and they plant vineyards, and drink not the wine.

⁶ You seed aboundingly, and bring in little; you eat, and you satiate not; you drink, and you intoxicate not; you enrobe, and no one heats up; and he who hires himself out hires to put it into a pierced bundle.

⁶ But you dishonor the poor. Is it not the rich who overpower you? And drag you to the judgment?

⁸ and their carcasses are on the broadway of the megalopolis, which spiritually is called, Sedom and Misrayim - where also our Adonay was staked. ⁹ And they of the people and scions and tongues and goyim see their carcasses three and a half days and allow not to put their carcasses in tombs. ¹⁰ And they who settle on the earth cheer over them and rejoice; and send honorariums to one another; because these two prophets tortured them who settle on the earth.

¹⁸
THE TORAH ON SETTING JUDGES AND OFFICERS Give yourselves judges and officers in all your portals, which Yah Veh your Elohim gives you throughout your scions: to judge the people with judgment of justness.

²¹ And so be it, when many evils and tribulations find them, this song answers at their face for a witness not to be forgotten from the mouths of their seed: for I know the imagination they work this day, ere I bring them to the land I oathed.

¹
BOAZ MARRIES RUTH
And Boaz ascends to the portal and settles there; and behold, the redeemer of whom Boaz worded passes by; to whom he says, Ho, such a one! Turn aside! Settle here! - and he turns aside and settles.

³ and his sons walk not in his ways, but spread after greed and take bribes and pervert judgment.

⁷ And so be it, the sons of Yisra El sin against Yah Veh their Elohim - who ascended them from the land of Misrayim from under the hand of Paroh sovereign of Misrayim - and they awe other elohim ⁸ which they work: and walk in the statutes of the goyim whom Yah Veh dispossessed from the face of the sons of Yisra El and from the sovereigns of Yisra El: ⁹ and the sons of Yisra El covertly work words that are not right against Yah Veh their Elohim: and they build bamahs in all their cities from the tower of the guards to the fortified city: ¹⁰ and they station monoliths and asherim in every high hill and under every green tree: ¹¹ and incense there in all the bamahs as the goyim whom Yah Veh exiled from their face; and work evil words to vex Yah Veh: ¹² and serve idols, whereof Yah Veh said to them, Work not this word! ¹³ And Yah Veh witnesses against Yisra El and against Yah Hudah, by the hand of all the prophets and by all the seers, saying, Turn from your evil ways and guard my misvoth and my statutes, according to all the torah I misvahed your fathers - which I send to you by the hand of my servants the prophets. ¹⁴ And they hearken not, and harden their necks, as the neck of their fathers, who trusted not in Yah Veh their Elohim: ¹⁵ and they refuse his statutes and his covenant which he cut with their fathers and his witnesses which he witnessed against them; and they go after vanity and become vain and go after the goyim all around them - to whom Yah Veh misvahed to not work like them: ¹⁶ and they leave all the misvoth of Yah Veh their Elohim; and work moltens - two calves and work an asherah and prostrate to all the host of the heavens and serve Baal: ¹⁷ and they pass their sons and their daughters through the fire; and divine divination and prognostications and sell themselves to work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh - to vex him.

⁷ when I went out to the portal through the city; when I prepared my settlement in the broadway! ⁸ The lads saw me and hid themselves and the aged rose and stood; ⁹ governors refrained uttering and set their palm on their mouth; ¹⁰ the eminent hid their voice and their tongue adhered to their palate. ¹¹ When the ear heard, it called me blithesome; and when the eye saw, it gave me witness; ¹² because I rescued them who cried - the humble and the orphan and whoever had no helper. ¹³ The blessing of him who was ready to destruct came on me; and I caused the heart of the widow to shout. ¹⁴ I enrobed justness and it enrobed me; my judgment was as a mantle and a turban; ¹⁵ I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame; ¹⁶ - a father to the needy. I probed contentions that I knew not; ¹⁷ I broke the molars of the wicked and cast the prey from his teeth. ¹⁸ And I said, I expire in my nest and my days abound as the sand. ¹⁹ My root spreads to the waters and the dew stays overnight on my clippings. ²⁰ My honor is new within me and my bow changes in my hand. ²¹ To me they hearken and wait and hush at my counsel. ²² After my words they reiterated not; and my utterances dropped on them; ²³ they awaited me as for the rain; they gaped their mouth as for the after rain. ²⁴ I laughed on them, they trusted not; and the light of my face they felled not. ²⁵ I chose their way, and settled as head; and tabernacled as a sovereign in the troops, as one who sighs over the mourners.

²¹ if I shook my hand against the orphan when I saw my help in the portal;

⁹ Neither gather my soul with sinners nor my life with men of blood ¹⁰ - in whose hands is intrigue and their right full of bribes.

²² Neither strip the poor, because he is poor; nor crush the humble in the portal;

²³ who justify the wicked for a bribe, and turn aside the justness of the just from him!

² to pervert the poor from pleading their cause; and strip the judgment from the humble of my people - that widows be their spoil and to plunder the orphan!

¹⁵ He who walks in justness and words straightly; he who spurns the gain of oppressions; who shakes his palms from upholding bribes; who shuts his ears from hearing of blood and binds his eyes from seeing evil:

⁹ And these two come to you in a blink in one day - bereavement and widowhood: they come on you in their integrity for the abundance of your sorceries, and for the mighty might of your charms:

¹⁸ And I - their works and their fabrications I come to gather all goyim and tongues; and they come, and see my honor:

²³ because they worked folly in Yisra El and adulterized with the women of their friends; and worded false words in my name which I misvahed them not; - I know and witness - an oracle of Yah Veh.

³⁴ To crush all the bound of the earth under his feet,

⁶ Thus says Yah Veh: For three rebellions of Yisra El, and for four, I restore them not; because of selling the just for silver and the needy for a pair of shoes; ⁷ who gulp after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and pervert the way of the humble: and a man and his father going in to the lass to profane my holy name:

¹⁶ and among the mighty, he who is strong of heart flees away naked in that day - an oracle of Yah Veh.

¹⁰ They hate him who reproves in the portal and they abhor him who words integriously:

¹¹ The heads judge for a bribe and the priests teach for a price, and the prophets divine for silver: yet they lean on Yah Veh, saying, Is not Yah Veh among us? Evil approaches us not!

³ to do evil with both palms well-pleasingly, the governor and the judge ask for satisfaction; and the great words of the mischief of his soul: thus they pervert.

⁵ And I approach you for judgment; and I become a hasty witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers and against false oathers and against those who oppress the hireling in his hire - the widow and the orphan; and who pervert the sojourner and awe me not, says Yah Veh Sabaoth.

¹³ The Elohim of Abraham and of Yischaq and of Yaaqov - the Elohim of our fathers glorified his lad Yah Shua - whom you delivered and denied at the face of Pilatos when he judged to release him: ¹⁴ but you denied the Holy and the Just, and asked that a man - a murderer be granted charism unto you;

⁵² Which of the prophets have your fathers not persecuted? And they slaughtered them who pre-evangelized concerning the coming of the Just - of whom you now become traitors and murderers:

¹² For the word of Elohim is living and energized and sharper than any double-mouthed sword, thoroughly penetrating to the parting of soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow: and is a discerner of the deliberation and mind of the heart. ^{Isaiah 49:2 13} And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him with whom we word. ^{Proverbs 15:11}

⁴ Behold, the hire of the workers who ingathered your regions - whom you cheated, cries out: and the cries of them who harvest enter the ears of Yah Veh Sabaoth.

⁶ you condemned and murdered the just; and he opposes you not.

⁷ a time to rip and a time to sew; a time to hush and a time to word;

¹² For even humanity knows not his time - as the fishes held in an evil lure as the birds held in the snare thus the sons of humanity, snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly on them.

²¹ And they hush and answer him not a word: for the misvah of the sovereign is, saying, Answer him not.

³ and they say to him, Thus says Yechizqi Yah, This day is a day of tribulation and of rebuke and of scorning: for the sons come to the matrix and there is no strength to birth.

⁴ yet neither strive with man nor reprove man: for your people are as they who strive with the priest.

¹⁰ and his uncle and his cremater lift him to bring the bones from the house, and say to him who is by the flanks of the house, Are there yet any with you? And he says, Final. Then he says, Hush: for we memorialize not the name of Yah Veh.

³ So thus says Yah Veh: Behold, I fabricate an evil against this family from which you neither depart your necks nor go haughtily: for this is a time of evil.

⁵ Neither trust in a friend nor confide in a chiliarch: guard the opening of your mouth from her who lies in your bosom: ⁶ for son disgraces father; daughter rises against her mother; the daughter in law against her mother in law; the enemies of a man are the men of his own house. ⁷
THE SURVIVORS IN THE FINAL DAYS
And I - I watch to Yah Veh; I await Elohim of my salvation: my Elohim hears me.

¹⁶ I hear; my belly quivers; my lips quiver at the voice: rottenness enters my bones; and I quiver in myself that I rest in the day of tribulation: he ascends to the people; he troops against them with his troops.

² ere the birth of the statute; ere the day pass as the chaff; ere the fuming wrath of Yah Veh comes on you; ere the day of the wrath of Yah Veh comes on you. ³ Seek Yah Veh, all you humble of the earth, who do his judgment: seek justness; seek humility: perhaps you are hidden in the day of the wrath of Yah Veh.

¹² - and in his being accused by the archpriests and elders, he answers naught. ¹³ Then Pilatos words to him, Hear you not how much they witness against you? ¹⁴ And he answers him not even a rhema; so that the governor marvels extremely.

¹⁵ So see that you walk precisely - not as unwise, but as wise, ¹⁶ marketing the season because the days are evil.

¹³ So take to yourselves the whole panoply of Elohim, to be able to withstand in the evil day and having worked all, stand.

¹
THE FINAL APOSTACY
Know this also that in the final days furious seasons are present.

² And Yah Veh is with Yoseph and he is a prosperous man; and he is in the house of his adoni the Misrayim. ³ And his adoni sees that Yah Veh is with him and that Yah Veh prospers all that he works in his hand:

²³ the governor of the tower house sees after naught under his hand; because Yah Veh is with him and whatever he works, Yah Veh prospers.

¹²
ELOHIM REVEALS HIMSELF AS I AM WHO I AM
And he says, For this cause I AM with you; and this is your sign, that I sent you: In bringing the people from Misrayim, you serve Elohim on this mountain.

³ and they congregate against Mosheh and against Aharon and say to them, You are too much!, for all the witness - all of them are holy and Yah Veh is among them! So why exalt yourselves above the congregation of Yah Veh?

⁹ Misvahed I you not? Strengthen! Encourage! Neither awe nor terrify! - for Yah Veh your Elohim is with you wherever you go.

²⁰ And David says to Shelomoh his son, Strengthen! Encourage! Work! Neither awe, nor terrify: for Yah Veh Elohim, my Elohim, is with you; he neither lets you down nor forsakes you until you finish all the work for the service of the house of Yah Veh.

¹² What man desires life and loves days to see good? ¹³ Guard your tongue from evil and your lips from wording deceit: ¹⁴ turn from evil and work good; seek shalom and pursue it. ¹⁵ The eyes of Yah Veh are on the just and his ears to their cry. ¹⁶ The face of Yah Veh is against all who work evil, to cut off their memorial from the earth.

¹¹ Yah Veh Sabaoth is with us; Elohim of Yaaqov is our secure loft. Selah.

²⁷ He who early seeks good, seeks pleasure; and he who seeks evil, it approaches him.

¹⁶ Baptize yourself; purify yourself; turn aside the evil of your exploitations from in front of my eyes: cease to vilify; ¹⁷ learn to well-please; seek judgment; blithe the oppressed; judge the orphan; plead for the widow.

¹
THE HARDNESS OF YISRA EL
Hear this, O house of Yaaqov - called by the name of Yisra El coming from the waters of Yah Hudah; who oaths by the name of Yah Veh and memorializes Elohim of Yisra El - neither in truth, nor in justness. ² For they call themselves of the holy city, and prop themselves on Elohim of Yisra El; Yah Veh Sabaoth is his name.

² Why weigh silver for what is not bread? And labor for what satisfies not? In hearkening, hearken to me, and eat what is good, that your soul delight itself in fatness.

³ thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth the Elohim of Yisra El, Well-prepare your ways and your exploits, and I tabernacle you in this place. ⁴ Confide not in false words, saying, The manse of Yah Veh! The manse of Yah Veh! The manse of Yah Veh are they!

³ Walk two together, unless they congregate?

⁸ He tells you, O humanity, what is good. And what requires Yah Veh of you - except to work judgment and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your Elohim?

²³ Behold, a virgin has in womb and births a son; and they call his name Immanu El, which translates, Elohim with us. ^{Isaiah 7:14}

³³
THE PROVISION OF YAH SHUA
But first seek the sovereigndom of Elohim and his justness; and all these add to you.

²⁰ doctrinating them to guard all - as much as ever I misvahed you: and behold, I am with you all days - even to the completion/shalom of the eon. Amen. ^{*name: Exodus 3:3-15, Isaiah 42:8, John 8:58}

⁷ to them indeed, who by endurance in good works, seek for glory and honor and incorruptibility - eternal life: ⁸ but to the rivalrous who indeed distrust the truth but obey injustice, fury and wrath, ⁹ tribulation and distress upon every soul of humanity who works evil - both of the Yah Hudiy first and also of the Hellene;

⁸ Finally, brothers, as many as are true, as many as are venerate, as many as are just, as many as are hallowed, as many as are friendly, as many as are euphonious; if any virtue and if any halal, reckon these. ⁹ transact both those that you learned and took and heard and saw in me: and the Elohim of shalom be with you.

²² Adonay Yah Shua Messiah be with your spirit. Charism be with you. Amen.

³⁰ And so be it, on the morrow, Mosheh says to the people, You sinned a great sin: and now I ascend to Yah Veh; perhaps I kapar/atone for your sin.

¹² Perhaps Yah Veh sees my humiliation and Yah Veh returns me good for his abasing this day.

³¹ And his servants say to him, Behold now, we hear that the sovereigns of the house of Yisra El are merciful sovereigns: have us, I beseech you, set saq on our loins and lines on our heads and go to the sovereign of Yisra El: peradventure he keeps your soul alive.

⁷ And of the people of Yah Achaz he survives naught but fifty cavalry and ten chariots and ten thousand on foot; for the sovereign of Aram destroys them and sets them as the dust by threshing.

²⁶ For Yah Veh sees the humiliation of Yisra El, - mighty rebelling: for neither are any finally restrained nor any finally left nor any helper for Yisra El. ²⁷ And Yah Veh words not to wipe out the name of Yisra El from under the heavens: but he saves them by the hand of Yarob Am the son of Yah Ash.

⁴ perhaps Yah Veh your Elohim hears all the words of Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler whom his adoni the sovereign of Ashshur sends to reproach the living Elohim; and reprove the words Yah Veh your Elohim heard: and lift a prayer for the survivors that are found.

⁶ And says to the judges, See what you work: for you judge not for humanity, but for Yah Veh, who is with you in the judgment: ⁷ and now, the fear of Yah Veh be on you; guard and work it: for with Yah Veh our Elohim there is neither wickedness nor partiality of faces nor receiving of bribes. ⁸ And also in Yeru Shalem Yah Shaphat stands - of the Leviym and of the priests and of the head of the fathers of Yisra El, for the judgment of Yah Veh and for controversies: and they return to Yeru Shalem. ⁹ And he misvahs them, saying, Work thus: in the awe of Yah Veh, trustworthily; and with a heart at shalom: ¹⁰ and whatever strife comes to you - of your brothers who settle in your cities; between blood and blood; between torah and misvah; statutes and judgments; enlighten them not to guilt against Yah Veh and thus rage come on you and on your brothers: work thus and guilt not. ¹¹ And behold, Amar Yah the head priest is over you in all words of Yah Veh; and Zebad Yah the son of Yishma El the eminent of the house of Yah Hudah, for all the words of the sovereign: and the Leviym, officers at your face. Strengthen and work and Yah Veh is with the good.

¹⁴ turn from evil and work good; seek shalom and pursue it.

⁴ he fabricates mischief on his bed; he neither sets himself in a good way nor spurns evil.

²⁷ Turn from evil and work good; and tabernacle eternally.

² until when judge you wickedly and lift the faces of the wicked? Selah. ³ Judge the poor and orphan; justify the humble and impoverished; ⁴ slip away the poor and needy; rescue them from the hand of the wicked.

¹⁰ You who love Yah Veh, hate evil; he guards the souls of his mercied; he rescues them from the hand of the wicked.

¹⁰⁴ Through your precepts I discern; so I hate every false way.

²¹ Hate I not them, O Yah Veh, who hate you? and loathe I not them who resist you? ²² I hate them with conclusive hatred; I count them my enemies.

⁵ For if, in well-preparing, you well-prepare your ways and your exploitations; if in working, you work judgment between a man and his friend; ⁶ if you oppress not the sojourner, the orphan, and the widow, and pour not innocent blood in this place, and walk not after other elohim to your evil: ⁷ then I tabernacle you in this place in the land I gave to your fathers eternally and eternally.

⁷ For thus says Yah Veh: Shout with cheerfulness for Yaaqov and resound among the chief of the goyim: hearken, praise, and say, O Yah Veh, save your people, the survivors of Yisra El.

¹⁴ Who knows? He returns; yes, he sighs: and leaves a blessing behind him - an offering and a libation to Yah Veh your Elohim.

²⁴ and judgment rolls as waters and justness as a perennial wadi.

⁹ Who knows? Perhaps Elohim turns and sighs - turns from his fuming wrath, and we destruct not!

¹²
YAH VEH GATHERS THE SURVIVORS OF YISRA EL
In gathering, I gather Yaaqov - all of you; in gathering, I gather the survivors of Yisra El; I set them together as the flock of the fold; as the drove among their fold: they quake because of humanity.

³ So he gives them up, until the time that she who is to birth, births: and the remnant of his brothers returns to the sons of Yisra El:

⁷ And so be the survivors of Yaaqov among many people - as dew from Yah Veh - as the showers on the herbage, who neither awaits man nor awaits the sons of humanity. ⁸ And so be the remnant of Yaaqov among the goyim among many people - as a lion among the animals of the forest - as a whelp among the droves of flocks: who, if he passes through, both tramples and tears; and no one rescues.

¹⁵ For what I work, I know not: for what I will, I transact not; but what I hate, I do. ¹⁶ So if I do what I not will, I assent with the torah that it is good.

²² For I delight in the torah of Elohim after the inward human:

⁷ Because the thought of the flesh is enmity to Elohim: for it neither subjugates to the torah of Elohim nor indeed can.

⁹ Love, eunhypocritical; abhor evil; adhere to good;

²¹ proof all, hold what is good, ²² abstain from all semblance of evil:

¹¹ Beloved, mimic not evil, but good. everyone doing good is of Elohim: but everyone doing evil has not seen Elohim.

² he ascends to Bayith and to Dibon - to the bamahs, weeping: Moab howls over Nebo and over Medeba - baldness on all their heads - every beard cut off. ³ In their outways they gird with sackcloth: on their roofs and in their broadways every one howls - descending into weeping abundantly. ⁴ And Heshbon cries, and El Aleh: their voice is heard to Yahsah: so the equipped of Moab shout; his soul trembles. ⁵ My heart is toward Moab; his fugitives cry out to Soar, an heifer of three: for by the ascent of Luchith they ascend with weeping; for in the way of Horonayim they waken a cry of breaking.

⁸ For the cry goes around the borders of Moab - the howling to Eglayim and the howling to Beerelim:

¹² And in that day, Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth calls to weeping and to chopping and to baldness and to girding with sackcloth:

³¹ For I hear a voice as of stroking and the tribulation as of bursting the matrix - the voice of the daughter of Siyon sighing - who spreads her palms, Woe is me I beseech! for my soul languishes because of murderers.

¹⁷ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth, You, discern; and call for the lamenters to come; and send for the wise to come: ¹⁸ Hasten them to lift a lamentation for us so that our eyes drip with tears and our eyelids flow with waters. ¹⁹ For a voice of lamentation is heard from Siyon, How ravaged! We shame mightily because we forsook the land; because they cast out our tabernacles. ²⁰ Yet hear the word of Yah Veh, O you women, and your ear take the word of his mouth; and teach your daughters lamentation and every woman her friend lamentation.

⁸ Lament as a virgin girt with saq for the master of her youth:

¹¹ Shame, O you cultivators! Howl, O you vinedressers! for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is destroyed.

¹⁴
THE DAY OF YAH VEH
Hallow a fast! Call a private assembly! Gather the elders and all the settlers of the land into the house of Yah Veh your El, and cry to Yah Veh,

¹³ Hearken and witness in the house of Yaaqov - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth

²⁷ So I exile you beyond Dammeseq, says Yah Veh, whose name is Elohim Sabaoth.

¹⁰ and I turn your celebrations into mourning and all your songs into lamentation; and I ascend saq on all loins and baldness on every head; and I set it as the mourning of an only one and the end as a bitter day.

⁸ for this I chop and howl; I go stripped and naked: I work a chopping as the monsters and a mourning as the daughters of the owls:

¹⁰ standing from afar for the awe of her torture, wording, Woe! Woe that megalopolis Babel! - that mighty city! because in one hour is your judgment iis come.

¹⁵ Her merchants of these, whom she enriched, stand from afar for the awe of her torture - weeping and mourning ¹⁶ and wording, Woe! Woe! - that megalopolis arrayed in white linen and purple and scarlet and gilded in gold and precious stones and pearls!

¹⁹ And they cast dust on their heads and cry, weeping and mourning, wording, Woe! Woe that megalopolis, wherein all who had sailers in the sea enriched from her preciousnesses! Because in one hour she desolated.

¹² For I pass through the land of Misrayim this night and smite all the firstbirth in the land of Misrayim - both human and animal; and I work judgment against all the elohim of Misrayim: I - Yah Veh.

²³ for Yah Veh passes through to smite the Misrayim; and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two side posts, Yah Veh leaps over the portal and gives not that the ruiner come in to your houses to smite you.

¹⁰ and cheerfulness is gathered with twirling from the orchard/Karmel; and in the vineyards they shout not, they shout not: the treaders tread no wine in troughs; I shabbathize their shouting.

¹⁰ Many days and years you quiver - you confide: for the crop is finished off; the ingathering comes not. ¹¹ Tremble, you relaxed women; quiver, you who confide: strip, and strip bare with a girdle on the loins. ¹² They chop for the breasts for the fields of desire - for the fruitbearing vine:

³³ and cheerfulness and twirling are gathered from the orchard/Karmel and from the land of Moab; and I shabbathize the wine from the troughs: no one treads with shouting; in shouting, they shout not.

¹ Neither cheer, O Yisra El; nor twirl as people: for you whore from your Elohim, you love a payoff on every crop threshingfloor. ² The threshingfloor and the trough, they tend not and the juice in her deceives:

¹⁷ Thus you know I - Yah Veh your Elohim tabernacling in Siyon, my holy mountain: then Yeru Shalem becomes holy, and strangers pass through her no more.

¹² Thus says Yah Veh: Though at shalom, and thus so many, yet thus they are shorn when he passes through. Though I humbled you, I humble you no more.

¹⁵ Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who evangelizes, who hearkens, Shalom! O Yah Hudah, celebrate your celebrations! Shalam your vows! for Beli Yaal adds not to pass through you; he is utterly cut off.

⁸ And I encamp around my house because of those stationed - because of him who passes by, and because of him who returns: and no exactor passes through them any more: for now I see with my eyes.

¹⁹ who say, Hasten him: hasten his work for us to see: and that the counsel of the Holy One of Yisra El approach and come, for us to know.

³⁰ And in that day, they growl against them as the growling of the sea: and if one looks to the land, behold, darkness and tribulation; and the light darkens in the setting.

¹⁹ Through the wrath of Yah Veh Sabaoth the land burns, and the people are as the fuel of the fire: no man spares his brother.

¹¹ There is an outcry for wine in the outways: all cheerfulness is obscured; the joy of the land is exiled: ¹² desolation survives in the city; and the portal is crushed with waste.

¹⁵ because you say, We cut a covenant with death and with sheol we work seers: when the overflowing whip passes through, it comes not to us: for we set lies our refuge, and under falsehood we hide ourselves. ¹⁶ So Adonay Yah Veh says thus, Behold, I lay a stone in Siyon for a foundation - a proofed stone; an esteemed corner; a founded foundation: he who trusts, hastens not. ¹⁷ And I set judgment to the line and justness to the plumb line: and the hail snatches away the refuge of lies, and the waters overflow the covert: ¹⁸ and your covenant with death is kapared/atoned and your vision with sheol rises not; when the overflowing whip passes through, then you become trampled thereby. ¹⁹ As often as it passes over, it takes you: for morning by morning it passes over - by day and by night: and it becomes an agitation even to discern the report: ²⁰ for the bed is shorter than to spread thereon: and the covering narrower than to enfold therein. ²¹ For Yah Veh rises as the mount of breaches, he quivers as Gay Gibon, to work his work - his strange work; and serve his service -his strange service. ²² So now be not translators, lest your bonds be strengthened: for from Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth I heard the final finish appointed on the whole earth.

¹⁵ Behold, they say to me, Where is the word of Yah Veh? Come, I beseech!

⁷ Ho! for that day is great; none like it: it is even the time of the tribulation of Yaaqov, but he is saved from it.

²² Son of humanity, what is that proverb of you in the soil of Yisra El, saying, The days prolong; and every vision destructs?

²⁷ Son of humanity, behold, the house of Yisra El says, The vision he sees is for many days, and he prophesies of the times afar off.

¹⁵ Aha for the day! for the day of Yah Veh is nearby, and comes as a ravage from Shadday.

¹ Blast the shophar in Siyon! And shout in my holy mountain! All the settlers of the land quiver: for the day of Yah Veh approaches - nearby: ² a day of dripping darkness and of darkness; a day of clouds and of thick darkness as the dawn spread on the mountains: a great people and a mighty; neither became the like eternally nor adds to become afterward to the years of generation and generation.

¹⁰ the earth quakes at their face; the heavens quake; the sun and the moon darken; and the stars gather their brilliance:

³¹ the sun turns into darkness and the moon into blood at the face of the coming the great and awesome day of Yah Veh.

¹⁴
THE GREAT DAY OF YAH VEH
The great day of Yah Veh is near - near and the voice of the day of Yah Veh hastens mightily: the mighty whoop there bitterly: ¹⁵ a day of wrath - that day; a day of tribulation and distress; a day of devastation and ruin; a day of darkness and darkness; a day of clouds and dripping darkness

¹
PROPHECY OF THE ANGEL OF YAH VEH AND HIS ADONAY
Behold, I send my angel, and he faces the way at my face: and the Adonay, whom you seek, suddenly comes to his manse - even the angel of the covenant in whom you delight! Behold, he comes, says Yah Veh Sabaoth. ^{Matthew 11:10, Mark 1:2, Luke 7:27 2} And who measures the day of his coming? And who stands when he is seen? - for he is as the fire of a refiner and as the soap of a fullers:

¹
THE DAY OF YAH VEH
For behold, the day approaches that inflames as an oven; and all the arrogant, yes, and all who work wickedly, become stubble: and the day that approaches burns them, says Yah Veh Sabaoth, that it leaves them neither root nor branch.

⁴ and wording, Where is the pre-evangelism of his parousia? From since the fathers fell asleep, all continually abides thus as from the beginning of the creation.

¹⁰
THE DAY OF YAH VEH
But the day of Yah Veh comes as a thief in the night; in which the heavens pass with a whir and the elements, being causticized, let loose; also the earth and the works therein burn.

²⁹ And they encamp one over against the other seven days. And so be it, in the seventh day, the war approaches: and the sons of Yisra El smite of the Aramiy a hundred thousand on foot in one day: ³⁰ and the remaining flee to Apheq - to the city; and a wall falls on twenty-seven thousand of the men who remain: and Ben Hadad flees and comes to the city - to an inner chamber.

²⁴ He flees from the iron armour and the bow of copper passes through him; ²⁵ - drawn and comes from his body; yes, the lightning sword comes from his gall; with terrors on him.

¹⁷ fear and the pit and the snare are upon you, O settler of the earth. ¹⁸ And so be it, he who flees from the voice of the fear falls into the pit; and he who ascends from midst the pit is captured in the snare: for the windows from on high open, and the foundations of the earth quake:

² And so be it, if they say to you, Where go we? you say to them, Thus says Yah Veh: Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity: ³ and upon them I visit four families - an oracle of Yah Veh the sword to slaughter and the dogs to drag and the flyers of the heavens and the animals of the earth to devour and ruin:

⁴³ Fear and the pit and the snare snare on you, O settler of Moab - an oracle of Yah Veh. ⁴⁴ He who flees from the face of fear falls into the pit; and he who ascends from the pit is captured in the snare: for I bring thereon - on Moab, the year of their visitation - an oracle of Yah Veh.

¹
JUDGMENT OF YAH VEH
I see Adonay stationed on the sacrifice altar; and he says, Smite the lintel of the door, so as to quake the thresholds: and crop them in the head - all of them; and I slaughter the last of them with the sword: and he who flees, flees not to them, and the escapee escapes not to them. ² And if they dig into sheol my hand takes them from there; and if they ascend to the heavens I bring them down from there:

⁴ And when the barbarians see the beast hang from his hand, they word among one another, Most certainly this human is a murderer, whom, though being saved from the sea, yet judgment allows not to live.

⁴ O that that day be darkness: that Elohah neither require it from above, nor the light shine on it; ⁵ that darkness and the shadow of death redeem it; that a cloudiness tabernacle on it; that the eclipses of the day frighten it; ⁶ as for that night, O that darkness take it; that it not rejoice to the days of the year; that it not come into the number of the moons.

²¹ - ere I go and not return to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; ²² - a land of darkness as darkness; of the shadow of death without any order where the shining is as darkness.

¹⁰ For the stars of the heavens and kesil halal not their light: the sun darkens in its going, and the moon illuminates not its light.

¹² as a tender searches his drove in the day he is among his flock who scatter; thus I search my flock and rescue them from all places they scatter in the day of cloud and dripping darkness:

⁸ And with an overpassing overflowing he works a final finish of the place; and darkness pursues his enemies.

¹⁵ a day of wrath - that day; a day of tribulation and distress; a day of devastation and ruin; a day of darkness and darkness; a day of clouds and dripping darkness

¹³ Then the sovereign says to the ministers, Bind him hand and foot and take him away and eject him into outer darkness; there becomes weeping and gnashing of teeth:

¹³ raging waves of the sea frothing their own shame, planetary stars - to whom is guarded the blackness of gloom to the eons.

¹⁰
THE FIFTH PLAGUE
And the fifth angel pours his phial on the throne of the beast; and his sovereigndom becomes dark; and they gnaw their tongues from pain;

²¹ And Yah Veh scents a sweet scent; and Yah Veh says in his heart, I never again abase the soil for sake of humanity; for the imagination of the heart of humanity is evil from his youth; I never again smite every live being as I worked;

³¹ and I give your cities as parched areas and desolate your holies and I scent not your scent of rest:

⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abhorrence to Yah Veh; and the prayer of the straight is his pleasure.

²⁷ The sacrifice of the wicked is abhorrence; how much more, when he brings it with intrigue?

⁹ He who turns his ear from hearing the torah, even his prayer is an abhorrence.

¹¹ Why your abundant sacrifices to me? says Yah Veh: I am satiated by the holocausts of rams and the fat of fatlings; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks or of lambs or of he goats. ¹² When you come to be seen at my face, who beseeches this at your hand - to trample my courts? ¹³ Add no more vain offerings; incense is an abhorrence to me; the new moons and shabbaths, the calling of convocations, I cannot; it is mischief: and the private assembly. ¹⁴ Your new moons and your seasons my soul hates: they are a burden to me; I weary to bear them. ¹⁵ And in spreading your palms, I conceal my eyes from you: yes, your abounding prayers I hear not: your hands are filled with blood. ¹⁶ Baptize yourself; purify yourself; turn aside the evil of your exploitations from in front of my eyes: cease to vilify;

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.

²⁰ Why to me, this incense from Sheba? And the good stalk from a far land? neither are your holocausts pleasing nor your sacrifices pleasing to me.

²¹ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth, Elohim of Yisra El; Scrape up your holocausts to your sacrifices and eat flesh: ²² for I neither worded to your fathers, nor misvahed them in the day I brought them from the land of Misrayim concerning holocausts or sacrifices: ²³ But this I misvahed them, saying, Hearken to my voice, and I am your Elohim and you are my people: and walk in all the ways I misvah you, that it well-please you.

¹³ they sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of my holocausts, and eat; Yah Veh is not pleased with them; now he remembers their perversity and visits their sins: they return to Misrayim.

¹³
YAH SHUA DENOUNCES THE PHARISEES
But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees! Hypocrites! For you shut the sovereigndom of the heavens in front of humanity: for neither you enter nor allow those entering to enter.

² and walk in love, exactly as Messiah also loved us and surrendered himself for us - an offering and a sacrifice to Elohim to a well-fragranced fragrance.

¹⁸ And I have all and superabound: I am fulfilled/shalamed - having received those from you from Epaphroditus, a well-fragranced fragrance, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to Elohim.

¹² If he oblates it for a spread hands praise, then with the sacrifice of spread hands praise he oblates matsah cakes mixed with oil and matsah wafers anointed with oil and cakes mixed with oil - of flour, deep fried: ¹³ besides the cakes, he oblates for his qorban fermentation bread with the sacrifice of spread hands praise of his shelamim: ¹⁴ and he oblates thereof one from the whole qorban for an exaltment to Yah Veh and it becomes for the priest who sprinkles the blood of the shelamim: ¹⁵ and he eats the flesh of the sacrifice of his shelamim for a spread hands praise the same day of qorban; he leaves not any thereof until the morning.

⁸ I reprove you not yes, your sacrifices or your holocausts are continually in front of me. ⁹ I take neither bullock from your house nor he goats from your folds: ¹⁰ for every beast of the forest is mine and the animals on a thousand mountains: ¹¹ I know all the flyers of the mountains and the creatures of the field with me. ¹² If I famish, I say naught to you; for the world is mine and the fulness. ¹³ Eat I the flesh of the mighty? Drink I the blood of he goats? ¹⁴ Sacrifice spread hands to Elohim; shalam your vows to Elyon;

²³ Whoever sacrifices spread hands honors me; and he who sets his way I have see the salvation of Elohim.

²¹ Spread hands to Yah Veh for his mercy and for his marvels to the sons of humanity! ²² Sacrifice the sacrifices of spread hands and scribe his works with shouting.

¹⁷ I sacrifice to you the sacrifice of spread hands and call on the name of Yah Veh:

⁴ Come to Beth El, and rebel; abound rebellion at Gilgal: and bring your sacrifices at morning, and your tithes after three years of days: ⁵ and incense with fermentation with spread hands and call out that the voluntaries be heard: for thus you loved, O you sons of Yisra El - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

⁶ With what confront I Yah Veh? And bow myself in front of the high Elohim? Confront I him with holocausts? With yearling sons? ⁷ Please Yah Veh with thousands of rams? With myriads of wadies of oil? Give I my firstbirthed for my rebellion - the fruit of my belly for the sin of my soul?

⁵ who chatter to the mouth of the bagpipe who, as David, fabricate to themselves instruments of song;

³ And the songstresses of the manse howl in that day - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh: with many carcases in every place; they cast them forth: Hush!

¹² because I rescued them who cried - the humble and the orphan and whoever had no helper. ¹³ The blessing of him who was ready to destruct came on me; and I caused the heart of the widow to shout. ¹⁴ I enrobed justness and it enrobed me; my judgment was as a mantle and a turban; ¹⁵ I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame; ¹⁶ - a father to the needy. I probed contentions that I knew not; ¹⁷ I broke the molars of the wicked and cast the prey from his teeth.

³ To work justice and judgment is chosen of Yah Veh, rather than sacrifice.

³ Thus says Yah Veh: Work judgment and justness and rescue the stripped from the hand of the oppressor: and neither wrong nor violate the sojourner, the orphan and the widow; nor pour innocent blood in this place.

⁶ For I desire mercy and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of Elohim more than holocausts.

⁷ You who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off justness in the earth,

¹⁴ Seek good, and not evil, so that you live: and so be it, as you say, Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth is with you. ¹⁵ Hate the evil and love the good and set judgment in the portal: perhaps Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth grants charism to the survivors of Yoseph.

³² And the scribe says to him, Well, Doctor! You say the truth! For there is one Elohim; and there is no other but he. ³³ and to love him with all the heart and with all the comprehension and with all the soul and with all the strength and to love his neighbor as himself is much more than all whole holocausts and sacrifices. ³⁴ And Yah Shua sees that he answers mindfully, and says to him, You are not far from the sovereigndom of Elohim. - and after that no one dares ask him any question.

⁷ and no more sacrifice their sacrifices to bucks after whom they whored. - an eternal statute to them throughout their generations.

¹⁷ they sacrifice to demons, not to Elohah; to elohim whom they knew not - new - from nearby, who whirled not your fathers. ¹⁸ Remember the Rock who birthed you: you forgot the El who formed you. ¹⁹ And Yah Veh sees, and scorns, because of the vexation of his sons and of his daughters.

¹⁴
YAH SHUA CHALLENGES YISRA EL Now awe Yah Veh and serve him in integrity and in truth: and turn aside the elohim your fathers served beyond the river and in Misrayim; and serve Yah Veh:

¹⁸ Also, they worked themselves a molten calf and said, This is your Elohim who ascends you from Misrayim; and works great scornings;

²¹ yes, forty years you sustained them in the wilderness so that they neither lacked; nor wore out their clothes nor swelled their feet.

²³ you neither brought me the lambs of your holocausts; nor honored me with your sacrifices. I neither had you serve with an offering; nor belabored you with incense. ²⁴ You neither chatteled me sweet stalk with silver, nor satiated me with the fat of your sacrifices: only you had me to serve with your sins; you belabored me with your perversities.

⁸ And they rebel against me and will to not hearken to me: they - every man neither cast away the abominations of their eyes, nor forsake the idols of Misrayim. And I say, I pour my fury on them to finish off my wrath against them midst the land of Misrayim.

¹⁶ because they spurned my judgments and walked not in my statutes; and profaned my shabbaths: for their heart went after their idols:

²⁴ because they work not my judgments; and despise my statutes and profane my shabbaths: and their eyes are after the idols of their fathers.

⁹ They deepen; they ruin as in the days of Gibah: he remembers their perversity; he visits their sins. ¹⁰ I find Yisra El as grapes in the wilderness; I see your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her beginning: they - they go to Baal Peor, and separate themselves to shame - their abominations are as their love.

⁵ Speak to all the people of the land and to the priests, saying, When you fasted and chopped in the fifth and seventh - even these seventy years, in fasting, fasted you to me - me?

⁴² But Elohim turns, and surrenders them to liturgize the host of the heavens; exactly as scribed in the scroll of the prophets, You, house of Yisra El, offer you slaughters and sacrifices to me by the space of forty years in the wilderness? ⁴³ Yes, you took the tabernacle of Molech and the star of Kiyun, your el; - types you made to worship: and I exiled you beyond Babel.

²¹ And give not any of your seed to pass through to Molech: profane not the name of your Elohim: I - Yah Veh.

² And to the sons of Yisra El, say, Any man of the sons of Yisra El or of the sojourners sojourning in Yisra El, who gives any of his seed to Molech; in deathifying, deathify him: the people of the land stone him with stones. ³ And I give my face against that man and cut him off from among his people; because he gives of his seed to Molech to foul my holies and to profane my holy name. ⁴ And if in veiling, the people of the land veil their eyes from the man, when he gives of his seed to Molech and deathify him not: ⁵ then I set my face against that man and against his family and cut him off and all who whore after him to whore with Molech, from among their people.

³³ because they forsake me and prostrate to Ashtoreth elohim of the Sidoniy, Kemosh elohim of the Moabiy, and Milchom elohim of the sons of Ammon; and walk not in my ways to work straight in my eyes and in my statutes and in my judgments as David his father:

¹² And the sovereign pulls down the sacrifice altars on the roof of the upper room of Achaz which the sovereigns of Yah Hudah worked, and the sacrifice altars Menash Sheh worked in the two courts of the house of Yah Veh; and runs from there and casts their dust in the wadi Qidron. ¹³ And the sovereign fouls the bamahs at the face of Yeru Shalem at the right of the mount of ruin, which Shelomoh the sovereign of Yisra El built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidoniy, and for Kemosh the abomination of the Moabiy, and for Milchom the abhorrence of the sons of Ammon:

⁶
YISRA EL EXILED
In the ninth year of Hoshea the sovereign of Ashshur captures Shomeron and exiles Yisra El to Ashshur; and sets them in Halach and in Habor by the river Gozan and in the cities of the Madaim.

⁴³ Yes, you took the tabernacle of Molech and the star of Kiyun, your el; - types you made to worship: and I exiled you beyond Babel.
