THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING YISRA EL
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ² Son of humanity, set your face toward Yeru Shalem and drop toward the holies; and prophesy against the soil of Yisra El: ³ and say to the soil of Yisra El, Thus says Yah Veh: Behold, I am against you, and draw my sword from its sheath; and cut off from you the just and the wicked. ⁴ Because I cut off from you the just and the wicked, so my sword comes from its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north: ⁵ so that all flesh knows that I Yah Veh draw my sword from his sheath: to return no more: ⁶ and you, son of humanity, sigh with the breaking of your loins; and sigh with bitterness in front of their eyes. ⁷ And so be it, when they say to you, Why sigh you? that you say, Because of the report; for it comes: and every heart melts and all hands slacken and every spirit dims and all knees as water: behold, it comes, and so be it - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. ⁸
THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING THE SWORD
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ⁹ Son of humanity, prophesy; and say, Thus says Yah Veh: Say, A sword - a sword sharpened and polished ¹⁰ - sharpened to slaughter a slaughter - polished as lightning: Rejoice we? It spurns the scion of my son, as every tree. ¹¹ And he gives to polish - to manipulate by the palm: this sword, sharpened and polished, to give into the hand of the slaughterer. ¹² Cry and howl, son of humanity: so be it on my people - on all the hierarchs of Yisra El: precipitation as to the sword: so be it on my people: so slap on your flank: ¹³ because it is to proof: and what if it spurns even the scion? So be it not - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. ¹⁴ And you, son of humanity, prophesy; and smite your palms together: and double the sword thrice - the sword of the pierced - the sword of the great who are pierced, in their chambers. ¹⁵ I give to brandish the sword against all their portals; to melt their heart and abound their stumblingblocks: Ach! it is made lightning, - wrapped for the slaughter. ¹⁶ Unite on the right; set on the left: - wherever your face congregates! ¹⁷ And I also - I smite my palms together, and I rest my fury: I Yah Veh have worded. ¹⁸ And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ¹⁹ And you, son of humanity, set you two ways, for the sword of the sovereign of Babel to come: the two both come forth from one land: and choose a hand, cut it at the head of the way to the city: ²⁰ set a way for the sword to come - to Rabbah of the sons of Ammon and to Yah Hudah in Yeru Shalem, the fortified. ²¹ For the sovereign of Babel stands at the mother of the way - at the head of the two ways, to divine divination: he sharpens his arrows; he asks of teraphim: he sees in the liver: ²² at his right is the divination for Yeru Shalem: to set rams, to open the mouth in the murder, to lift the voice with shouting, to set rams against the portals, to pour a mound and to build a battering tower. ²³ And so be it to them as a vain divination in their eyes - to them who oath oaths: and he remembers the perversity, to apprehend them. ²⁴ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you memorialize your perversity, in that you expose your rebellions so that your sins are seen in all your exploits: because you memorialize, you are apprehended by the palm. ²⁵ And you, profane wicked hierarch of Yisra El, whose day approaches in the time of perversity of the end. ²⁶ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Turn aside the tiara, and lift off the crown: this - not this lift the low; and abase the high: ²⁷ Perverted! Perverted! Perverted! I set it: and so be it no more, until he comes whose judgment it is; and I give it. ²⁸ And you, son of humanity, prophesy and say, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh concerning the sons of Ammon and concerning their reproach: and say, The sword! Loosen the sword! - polished for the slaughter to consume because of the lightning. ²⁹ As they see vanity for you, as they divine a lie for you, to give you on the necks of the pierced - of the wicked whose day approaches, the time of the perversity of the end. ³⁰ Return it to his sheath. I judge you in the place you were created - in the land of your origin: ³¹ and I pour my rage on you; I puff against you in the fire of my wrath and give you into the hand of the men of burning and engravers to ruin: ³² you become fuel for the fire; your blood midst the land is remembered no more: for I Yah Veh word.

² My doctrine drips as the rain; my sayings flow as the dew - as the shower on the tender sprout and as the showers on the herbage:

¹¹ And the priests and the prophets say to the governors and to all the people, saying, A judgment of death for this man; for he prophesies against this city, as you hear with your ears. ¹² And Yirme Yah says to all the governors and to all the people, saying, Yah Veh sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words you heard:

³ and take an iron griddle to yourself; and give it for a wall of iron between you and between the city: and establish your face against it; and it becomes under siege and you siege against it - a sign to the house of Yisra El.

⁷ And establish your face toward the siege of Yeru Shalem, and strip your arm and prophesy against it.

² Son of humanity, set your face toward the mountains of Yisra El and prophesy against them,

⁴⁶ Son of humanity, set your face in the southerly way and drop southward and prophesy against the forest of the south field;

² Son of humanity, set your face against the sons of Ammon and prophesy against them:

²¹ Son of humanity, set your face against Sidon and prophesy against it,

² Son of humanity, set your face against Paroh sovereign of Misrayim and prophesy against him - and against all Misrayim.

PROPHECY AGAINST THE MOUNTAINS OF YISRA EL
And you, son of humanity, prophesy to the mountains of Yisra El, and say, You mountains of Yisra El, hear the word of Yah Veh:

² Son of humanity, set your face against Gog of the land of Magog - the Rosch hierarch of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

¹⁶ And now, hear the word of Yah Veh: You say, Neither prophesy against Yisra El nor drip against the house of Yischaq.

⁶ you drip* not; they drip: they drip not to you, they remove not shame. *drip: as in dripping words.

¹¹ If a man walking with spirit/wind and with falsehood lies, saying, I drip to you of wine and of intoxicants; he drips to this people.

¹³ and set pseudo witnesses, who word, This human pauses not to speak blasphemous rhema against this holy place and the torah: ¹⁴ for we heard him word, that this Yah Shua the Nazarene disintegrates this place, and changes the customs Mosheh delivered us.

¹⁹ and in my behalf, - that I be given a word to open my mouth in boldness, to make known the mystery of the evangelism,

⁹ The enemy says, I pursue! I overtake! I allot the loot! My soul is filled of them: I draw my sword; my hand dispossesses them.

²⁵ and I bring a sword on you to avenge the avenging of my covenant: and when you gather to your cities, I send the pestilence among you; that you become given into the hand of the enemy:

³³ and I scatter you among the goyim and draw a sword after you: and desolate your land and parch your cities.

⁴¹ If I pointen the lightning of my sword and my hand holds on judgment, I return avengement to my tribulators and shalam them who hate me. ⁴² I intoxicate my arrows with blood and my sword devours flesh; from the blood of the pierced and of the captives - from the heads of the leaders of the enemy.

²² This is one, so I say, He finishes off the integrious and the wicked.

¹³ Rise, O Yah Veh, anticipate his face; knuckle him under: slip my soul from the wicked by your sword

² All in all; one happening: to the just and to the wicked; to the good and to the pure and to the foul; to him who sacrifices and to him who sacrifices not; as the good, thus the sinner; he who oaths, as he who awes an oath.

⁵ Ho, Ashshuri, the scion of my wrath; and the rod in their hand, my rage:

⁵ For my sword saturates in the heavens: behold, it descends on Edom and on the people of my devotement to judgment.

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: ⁴ and I give them for an agitation into all sovereigndoms of the earth, because of Menash Sheh the son of Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, for what he worked in Yeru Shalem.

¹³ Behold, I am against you, O settler of the valley and rock of the plain - an oracle of Yah Veh who say, Who descends against us? or, Who enters into our habitations?

⁶ Ho, you sword of Yah Veh, how long ere you rest? Gather your sheath; rest and hush. ⁷ How rests it, seeing Yah Veh misvahs against Ashkelon? - and against the sea haven? There he congregates.

³¹ Behold, I am against you, O Arrogance! - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth for your day is come - to visit you:

²⁰ You are my disintegrator and instruments of war: and with you, I shatter the goyim; and with you, I ruin sovereigndoms;

²⁵ Behold, I am against you, O mountain of ruin - an oracle of Yah Veh, who ruins all the earth: and I spread my hand on you and roll you down from the rocks; and give you as a burning mountain:

⁸ so thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Behold, I - even I am against you, and work judgments midst you in the eyes of the goyim:

¹² A third of you die with the pestilence - finished off with famine in your midst; and a third fall by the sword all around you; and a third I winnow into all the winds: and I draw out a sword after them.

⁵ And to the others he says in my ears, Pass after him through the city, and smite: neither your eye spare nor compassion: ⁶ slaughter to ruin aged and youth and virgin and toddler and women: but come not near any man on whom is the tattoo; and begin at my holies. - and they begin at the aged men at the face of the house.

¹⁷ Or, I bring a sword on that land, and say, Sword, pass through the land; so that I cut off humanity and animal from it:

²¹ For thus says Adonay Yah Veh; How much more when I send my four evil judgments on Yeru Shalem - the sword and the famine and the evil live being and the pestilence - to cut it off from humanity and animal?

⁹ Son of humanity, prophesy; and say, Thus says Yah Veh: Say, A sword - a sword sharpened and polished ¹⁰ - sharpened to slaughter a slaughter - polished as lightning: Rejoice we? It spurns the scion of my son, as every tree. ¹¹ And he gives to polish - to manipulate by the palm: this sword, sharpened and polished, to give into the hand of the slaughterer.

¹⁹ And you, son of humanity, set you two ways, for the sword of the sovereign of Babel to come: the two both come forth from one land: and choose a hand, cut it at the head of the way to the city:

³ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Behold, I am against you, O Sor, and I ascend many goyim against you, as the sea ascends his waves:

¹³ Behold, I am against you - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth and I burn her chariots in the smoke and the sword consumes your whelps: and I cut off your prey from the earth and the voice of your angels is heard no more.

⁵ Behold, I am against you - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth and I expose your drapings on your face, and I have the goyim see your nakedness and the sovereigndoms your abasement:

¹² Also you, O Kushiym you, pierced by my sword.

⁷ Waken, O sword, against my tender, and against the mighty, my friend - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth: smite the tender, and the flock scatters: and I turn my hand on the belittled.

¹¹ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Smite with your palm and stamp with your foot, and say, Ach! for all the evil abhorrences of the house of Yisra El! for they fall by the sword by the famine and by the pestilence: ¹² he who is afar dies of the pestilence; and he who is near falls by the sword; and he who survives and is under guard dies by the famine: thus I finish off my fury on them: ¹³ and you know I - Yah Veh, when their pierced become among their idols all around their sacrifice altars on every high hill in all the tops of the mountains and under every green tree and under every thick oak - in all the places they give a scent of rest to all their idols. ¹⁴ Thus I spread my hand on them and give the land a desolatiom - yes, more desolation than the wilderness toward Riblah in all their sites: and they know I - Yah Veh.

² And you son of humanity, thus says Adonay Yah Veh to the soil of Yisra El; An end - the end arrives on the four wings of the land:

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:

²¹ but as truly as I live, all the earth fills with the honor of Yah Veh. ²² Because all those men who see my honor and my signs which I worked in Misrayim and in the wilderness; and now they test me these ten times and hearken not to my voice; ²³ neither they see the land I oathed to their fathers, nor any who scorn me see it

²⁴ - even all goyim say, Why works Yah Veh thus to this land? - this great fuming wrath? ²⁵ Then men say, Because they forsake the covenant of Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers, which he cut with them when he brought them from the land of Misrayim: ²⁶ and they go and serve other elohim and prostrate to them - elohim they never knew and whom he never allotted to them: ²⁷ and Yah Veh kindles his wrath against this land to bring thereon all the abasements inscribed in this scroll: ²⁸ and Yah Veh uproots them from their soil in wrath - in wrath and in great rage and casts them to another land, as this day.

¹² In that day I raise against Eli all whom I worded concerning his house - begin, and finish:

⁷ then I cut Yisra El from the face of the soil I gave them; and this house I hallowed for my name, I send from my face; and Yisra El becomes a proverb and gibe among all people: ⁸ and at this house, Elyon, every one who passes by desolates and hisses and says, Why works Yah Veh thus to this land and to this house? ⁹ And they say, Because they forsook Yah Veh their Elohim, who brought their fathers from the land of Misrayim; and hold on other elohim and prostrate to them and serve them: therefore Yah Veh brings all this evil on them.

²³ I oath by myself; the word goes from my mouth in justness, and returns not, That to me every knee kneels, every tongue oaths. ^{Philippians 2:9-11}

¹¹ thus becomes my word that comes from my mouth: it returns not to me void but works what I desire; and it prospers whereto I send it.

²⁰ The wrath of Yah Veh turns not back until he works and until he raises the intrigue of his heart: in the latter days you discern with discernment.

⁴⁸ and all flesh sees that I Yah Veh burn it: it quenches not.

³⁰ Return it to his sheath. I judge you in the place you were created - in the land of your origin:

⁹ What fabricate you against Yah Veh? He works a final finish: tribulation rises not secondly.

¹¹ So my inwards, as a harp, roar for Moab; and my inwards for Qir Hareseth.

³ So my loins fill with pain: pangs hold me as pangs of a woman birthing: I twist at hearing; I terrify at seeing:

⁴ So I say, Look away from me: I am embittered in weeping; hasten not to sigh over me because of the ravage of the daughter of my people.

¹⁹ My inwards! My inwards! I writhe at the walls of my heart; my heart roars within me; I cannot hush, because you hear, O my soul, the voice of the shophar - the blast of war.

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. ²¹ For death ascends into our windows; it enters into our palaces to cut off the sucklings from the outways, and the youths from the broadways.

¹⁰ And you break the bottle in the eyes of the men going with you,

⁶ ask, I beseech, and see, Is a male birthing? Why see I all the mighty with his hands on his loins as in birthing? - and all faces turn into pale green?

¹² And eat it as barley ashcakes, and bake it with dung balls of human excrement in their eyes.

¹¹ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Smite with your palm and stamp with your foot, and say, Ach! for all the evil abhorrences of the house of Yisra El! for they fall by the sword by the famine and by the pestilence:

⁴ and Yah Veh says to him, Pass through midst the city - through midst Yeru Shalem; and tattoo a tattoo on the foreheads of the men who sigh and shriek for all the abhorrences worked in our midst.

³ and you, son of humanity, work instruments of exile: and exile by day in their eyes; and exile from your place to another place in their eyes: perhaps they see, for they are a rebellious house: ⁴ and bring forth your instruments by day in their eyes as instruments of exile: and go forth at evening in their eyes as proceeding into exile. ⁵ Dig through the wall in their eyes and carry out thereby:

¹² Cry and howl, son of humanity: so be it on my people - on all the hierarchs of Yisra El: precipitation as to the sword: so be it on my people: so slap on your flank:

²⁰ And the tree whereon you inscribe becomes in your hand in front of their eyes.

⁶ then the cheerfulness of the sovereign changes and his intentions terrify him - so that the vertebrae of his loins release, and his knees knock one against another.

²⁷ And I Dani El, am sick for days, I rise and work the work of the sovereign - stunned at the vision; and no one discerns it.

¹⁰ she is empty and void and wasted: and the heart melts and the knees knock and much pain in all loins; and all their faces gather flushness.

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.

³³ So when Yah Shua sees her weeping, and the Yah Hudiym coming with her also weeping, he sighs in spirit, and is troubled: ³⁴ and says, Where have you placed him? They word to him, Adonay, come and see. ³⁵ Yah Shua weeps.

¹⁵ Then the chiliarchs of Edom terrify; the mighty of Moab, trembling, take hold on them; all who settle Kenaan melt away.

³⁶ And on those who survive, I send a timidity into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the voice of a driven leaf pursues them; and they flee as retreating from a sword; and they fall when none pursues:

⁸ And the officers word again to the people, and say, What man awes, and is tender of heart? Have him go and return to his house, lest the heart of his brothers melt as well as his heart.

⁹ and says to the men, I know Yah Veh gives you the land and that your terror befalls us; and that all the settlers of the land melt at your face: ¹⁰ for we hear how Yah Veh withered the water of the Reed sea at your face, in your going from Misrayim; and what you worked to the two sovereigns of the Emoriy on the other side Yarden - Sichon and Og, whom you devoted: ¹¹ we hear and our hearts melt, and no more spirit/wind rises in any man at your face: for Yah Veh your Elohim is Elohim in the heavens above and on the earth below.

¹ And so be it, when all the sovereigns of the Emoriy on the seaward side of Yarden, and all the sovereigns of the Kenaaniy by the sea, hear that Yah Veh withered the waters of Yarden from the face of the sons of Yisra El until we pass over, their heart melts: there is no spirit/wind in them any more, at the face of the sons of Yisra El.

¹⁰ and he who also is the son of valour whose heart is as the heart of a lion, in melting, he melts: for all Yisra El knows that your father is mighty and they with him are sons of valour.

¹² so thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: Behold, I bring evil on Yeru Shalem and Yah Hudah that whoever hears of it, both his ears tingle:

³ Behold, you instructed many and you strengthened the weak hands; ⁴ your utterances raised him who falters and you strengthened the kneeling knees.

² And they tell the house of David, saying, Aram rests with Ephrayim. And his heart shakes - and the heart of his people as the trees of the forest shake at the face of the wind.

⁷ So all hands slacken and every heart of man melts;

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:

³ strengthen the weak hands and strengthen the faltering knees.

²² Thus says Yah Veh, Behold, a people comes from the north land and a great goyim wakens from the flanks of the earth: ²³ they lay hold on bow and dart; they are cruel, and mercy not; their voice roars as the sea; and they ride on horses - lined up as men for war against you, O daughter of Siyon. ²⁴ We hear the fame: our hands slacken: tribulation takes hold of us - pang, as in birthing.

¹⁸ I cheer myself against grief, my heart bleeds within me.

²³
MESSAGE AGAINST DAMMESEQ
Concerning Dammeseq: Hamath and Arpad shame: for they hear evil reports; they melt: there is concern on the sea; it cannot rest.

⁴³ The sovereign of Babel hears their report and he slackens his hands: tribulation takes hold of him and pangs as in birthing.

¹⁷ For this our heart bleeds; for these our eyes darken.

² And you son of humanity, thus says Adonay Yah Veh to the soil of Yisra El; An end - the end arrives on the four wings of the land: ³ now the end is on you; and I send my wrath on you and judge you according to your ways, and give all your abhorrences on you. ⁴ And neither my eye spares you nor I compassion: and I give your ways on you, for your abhorrences are midst you: and you know I - Yah Veh. ⁵ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: An evil, one evil, behold, has arrived; ⁶ an end has arrived, the end arrives; it wakens for you; behold, it arrives: ⁷ the corona arrives to you, O you who settle in the land: the time arrives; the day of confusion is near, and not the shouting of the mountains. ⁸ Now, soon I pour my fury on you, and finish off my wrath on you: and I judge you according to your ways, and give you for all your abhorrences. ⁹ And neither my eye spares, nor I compassion: I give you according to your ways and your abhorrences midst you; and you know I - Yah Veh who smites. ¹⁰ Behold the day; behold, arrives: the corona goes forth; the rod blossoms; arrogance buds: ¹¹ violence rises into a rod of wickedness: neither one of them nor of their multitude nor of any of abundance; nor any lamentation for them. ¹² The time arrives; the day touches; neither the chatteler cheers nor the seller mourn: for fuming is on all the multitude.

¹⁷ all hands slacken and all knees go watery:

²⁶ Calamity on calamity arrives; and report on report: and they seek a vision of the prophet; and the torah destructs from the priest and counsel from the elders.

⁹ Son of humanity, say they not to you, the house of Yisra El - this rebellious house, What work you? ¹⁰ You, say to them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: This burden concerns the hierarch in Yeru Shalem and all the house of Yisra El among them. ¹¹ Say, I am your omen; as I work, so be it worked to them: in exiling, they exile:

²² Son of humanity, what is that proverb of you in the soil of Yisra El, saying, The days prolong; and every vision destructs? ²³ So tell them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I shabbathize this proverb that they no more proverbialize it as a proverb in Yisra El: but word to them, Days approach; and the word of every vision: ²⁴ for there is neither any more a vain vision nor smoothing divination within the house of Yisra El. ²⁵ For I - Yah Veh: I word; and the word I word works; it is no more drawn out: for in your days, O rebellious house, I word the word, and work it - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. ²⁶ And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, 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. ²⁸ So say to them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Not one of my words is drawn out any more: and the word I word works - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

⁴⁹ Then I say, Aha, Adonay Yah Veh! they say of me, Proverbializes he not proverbs?

¹⁹ And the people say to me, Tell you not us what these which you work are to us?

²⁶ humanity breathing cold for awe, and awaiting those coming on the world: for the dynamis of the heavens become shaken. ^{Isaiah 13:9-13}

¹² So straighten the limping hands and the paralyzed knees;

⁷ But the completion/shalom of all approaches: so be sound and watch to prayer.

²⁵ - drawn and comes from his body; yes, the lightning sword comes from his gall; with terrors on him.

¹¹ Elohim is a just judge and El enrages every day. ¹² If he turns not, he sharpens his sword; he bends his bow and prepares ¹³ - prepares the instruments of death for him; he heats his arrows for them who pursue.

¹
THE DELIVERANCE OF YISRA EL
In that day, Yah Veh, with his hard and great and strong sword, visits upon leviathan the fugitive serpent - even leviathan that crooked serpent and slays the monster in the sea.

⁵ For my sword saturates in the heavens: behold, it descends on Edom and on the people of my devotement to judgment. ⁶ The sword of Yah Veh fills with blood, - fattens with fat with the blood of rams and he goats; with the fat of the reins of rams: for Yah Veh - a sacrifice in Bosrah and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

¹⁶ For by fire and by his sword Yah Veh judges all flesh: and the pierced of Yah Veh abound by the myriads.

¹² The ravagers come on all the barrens in the wilderness: for the sword of Yah Veh devours from the end of the land even to the end of the land - no shalom to any flesh.

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 say to the soil of Yisra El, Thus says Yah Veh: Behold, I am against you, and draw my sword from its sheath; and cut off from you the just and the wicked.

¹⁵ I give to brandish the sword against all their portals; to melt their heart and abound their stumblingblocks: Ach! it is made lightning, - wrapped for the slaughter.

²⁸ And you, son of humanity, prophesy and say, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh concerning the sons of Ammon and concerning their reproach: and say, The sword! Loosen the sword! - polished for the slaughter to consume because of the lightning.

⁴ and if they go into captivity at the face of their enemies, I misvah the sword to slaughter them there: and I set my eyes on them for evil and not for good.

¹⁴ I become to him, father and he becomes to me, son. If he perverts, I reprove him with the scion of men and with the plagues of the sons of humanity:

¹⁵ The runners go, hastened by the word of the sovereign and the edict is given in Shushan palace. And the sovereign and Haman sit to drink; and the city Shushan is perplexed.

⁷ I scribe the statute! Yah Veh says to me, You are my Son/Ben ^{\super *}; this day I birthed you. ^{*Ben; cp 2:12 8} Ask of me; and I give you the goyim for your inheritance and the finalities of the earth for your possession. ⁹ You, shatter them with a scion of iron; splatter them as a formed instrument.

²⁶ He calls to me, You - my father, my El and the rock of my salvation. ²⁷ I also give him to be my firstbirthed, Elyon of the sovereigns of the earth. ²⁸ I guard my mercy for him eternally and my trustworthy covenant with him; ²⁹ I set his seed eternal and his throne as the days of the heavens. ³⁰ If his sons forsake my torah and walk not in my judgments; ³¹ if they profane my statutes and guard not my misvoth; ³² then I visit their rebellion with the scion and their perversity with plagues:

³⁸ And you - you cast off and spurn; you pass over your anointed. ³⁹ you reject the covenant of your servant; you profane his separatism to the earth; ⁴⁰ you breach all his walls; you set his fortresses to ruin. ⁴¹ All who pass by the way spoil him; - a reproach to his fellow tabernaclers. ⁴² You exalt the right of his tribulators; you have all his enemies cheer; ⁴³ you turn the form of his sword and raise him to not war; ⁴⁴ you shabbathized his purity and precipitate his throne to the earth: ⁴⁵ you curtailed the days of his youth; you covered him with shame. Selah.

⁵ Adonay at your right struck sovereigns in the day of his wrath: ⁶ he pleads among the goyim; he fills with bodies; he strikes him - the head over the great land:

⁴ a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to chop and a time to dance;

¹² and the harp and the bagpipe, the tambourine and pipe and wine are in their banquets: yes, they neither scan the deeds of Yah Veh nor see the work of his hands. ¹³ So my people are exiled, because they have no knowledge: and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude parched with thirst. ¹⁴ So sheol enlarges her soul and gapes her mouth without statute; and their glory and their multitude and their uproar: and he who jumps for joy, descends therein:

¹² And in that day, Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth calls to weeping and to chopping and to baldness and to girding with sackcloth: ¹³ and behold, rejoicing and cheerfulness, slaughtering oxen and slaughtering flock, eating flesh and drinking wine. Eat and drink - for tomorrow we die. ¹⁴ And Yah Veh Sabaoth exposes in my ears, Surely this perversity kapars/atones not to you until you die, says Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth.

⁴ hitch the horses and ascend, you cavalry and stand with helmets: polish the javelins; enrobe the brigandines.

¹¹ and she has rods of strength for the scions of them who reign; and her height heightens among the foliage, and she is seen in her height with the abundance of her branches: ¹² and she is uprooted in fury - cast down to the earth; and the east wind withers her fruit: her rods of strength break and wither; the fire consumes them: ¹³ and now she is transplanted in the wilderness - in a parched and thirsty earth: 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.

²⁵ And you, profane wicked hierarch of Yisra El, whose day approaches in the time of perversity of the end. ²⁶ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Turn aside the tiara, and lift off the crown: this - not this lift the low; and abase the high: ²⁷ Perverted! Perverted! Perverted! I set it: and so be it no more, until he comes whose judgment it is; and I give it.

³ You who cast away the evil day; who bring near the settlement of violence; ⁴ who lie on beds of ivory and spread themselves on their bedsteads; and eat the rams from the flock and the calves from midst the stall; ⁵ who chatter to the mouth of the bagpipe who, as David, fabricate to themselves instruments of song; ⁶ who drink wine in sprinklers and anoint themselves with the firstlings ointments; who are not worn out for the breach of Yoseph: ⁷ so now they are exiled with the first of the exiles, and the feast of revelling of them who spread themselves is turned aside.

¹⁰ For while they entwine as thorns, and while they carouse as carousers, they are consumed as stubble fully dry.

³ The horseman ascends both - the flame of the sword and the lightning spear: and there is an abundance of pierced and the heaviness of carcases; and there is no end of their corpses: they falter on their corpses.

¹¹ The sun and moon stand still in their residence: at the light, your arrows come - at the brilliance of your glittering spear.

³⁴ And heed to yourselves, lest ever your hearts burden with hangovers and intoxication and anxieties of existence, so that day stands by you unawares. ³⁵ For it comes as a snare on all who sit on the face of the whole earth.

²⁷ and he shepherds them in a scion of iron, to shatter as the vessels of a potter: even as I also took from my Father:

⁹ Behold, I send and take all the families of the north - an oracle of Yah Veh and Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel my servant - and bring them against this land and against the settlers and against all these goyim all around; and devote them and set them a desolation and a hissing; and eternal parched areas:

³³ And so be the pierced of Yah Veh at that day from end of the earth even to end of the earth: neither chopped over nor gathered nor entombed; they become as dung on the face of the soil.

²⁰ You are my disintegrator and instruments of war: and with you, I shatter the goyim; and with you, I ruin sovereigndoms; ²¹ and with you, I shatter the horse and his rider; and with you, I shatter the chariot and his rider; ²² and with you, I shatter man and woman; and with you, I shatter aged and lad; and with you, I shatter the youth and the virgin; ²³ and I shatter the tender and his drove; and with you, I shatter the cultivator and his yoke; and with you, I shatter governors and prefects:

³⁴ Howl, you tenders, and cry; and wallow yourselves, you mighty of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your scatterings are fulfilled; and you fall as an instrument of desire:

¹² and they come and shout in the height of Siyon; and flow together to the goodness of Yah Veh for crop and for juice and for oil and for the sons of the flock and of the herd: and their soul becomes as a saturated garden; and they add not to languish.

¹⁹ Surely after I returned, I sighed; and after I was instructed, I slapped my flank: I shamed, yes, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.

⁸ And so be it, as they smite them, and I - I survive, I fall on my face, and cry, and say, Aha! Adonay Yah Veh! Ruin you all the survivors of Yisra El in your pouring from your fury on Yeru Shalem?

⁶ and you, son of humanity, sigh with the breaking of your loins; and sigh with bitterness in front of their eyes.

¹⁴ And you, son of humanity, prophesy; and smite your palms together: and double the sword thrice - the sword of the pierced - the sword of the great who are pierced, in their chambers.

² Son of humanity, prophesy and say, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Howl! Hah! The day!

¹³
CALL TO REPENTANCE
Gird and mourn, you priests! Howl, you ministers of the sacrifice altar! Come, stay overnight in saq, you ministers of my Elohim: for the offering and the libation is withheld from the house of your Elohim.

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:

²³ If the whip suddenly deathifies, he derides at the testing of the innocent.

¹⁰ - sharpened to slaughter a slaughter - polished as lightning: Rejoice we? It spurns the scion of my son, as every tree.

²⁵ And you, profane wicked hierarch of Yisra El, whose day approaches in the time of perversity of the end.

² how that in much proofing by tribulation the superabundance of their cheer and their deep poverty superabounds to the riches of their liberality.

²¹ And if you walk contrary to me and hearken not to me; I add seven strokes on you according to your sins:

²⁴ then I also walk contrary to you and smite you yet seven for your sins:

¹⁰ And Balaq kindles his wrath against Bilam and he claps his palms together: and Balaq says to Bilam, I call you to curse my enemies, and behold, in blessing, you bless them these three times.

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.

²⁵ And Michah Yah says, Behold, you see in that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.

¹ In his days Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel ascends, and Yah Yaqim becomes his servant three years: and he turns and rebels against him:

¹⁰ At that time the servants of Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel ascend against Yeru Shalem and besiege the city: ¹¹ and Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel comes against the city and his servants besiege it: ¹² and Yah Yachin the sovereign of Yah Hudah goes to the sovereign of Babel - he and his mother and his servants and his governors and his eunuchs: and the sovereign of Babel takes him in the eighth year of his reign: ¹³ and from there he brings all the treasures of the house of Yah Veh and the treasures of the house of the sovereign; and chops all the instruments of gold Shelomoh sovereign of Yisra El worked in the manse of Yah Veh as Yah Veh worded. ¹⁴ And he exiles all Yeru Shalem and all the governors and all the mighty of valour - ten thousand exiles and all the artificers and locksmiths - none survive except the poorest sort of the people of the land. ¹⁵ And he exiles Yah Yachin to Babel, and the mother of the sovereign and the women of the sovereign and his eunuchs and the mighty of the land: he walks them from Yeru Shalem to Babel into exile: ¹⁶ and all the men of valour seven thousand and artificers and locksmiths a thousand - all the mighty who work war - even them the sovereign of Babel exiles to Babel.

¹
THE FALL OF YERU SHALEM
And so be it, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel comes - he and all his valiant, against Yeru Shalem and encamps against it and builds forts all around against it: ² and besieges the city to the eleventh year of sovereign Sidqi Yah: ³ and on the ninth of the month the famine prevails in the city; and there is no bread for the people of the land: ⁴ and the city splits - all the men of war by night by the way of the portal between two walls by the garden of the sovereign: - and the Kasdiy are against the city all around: and go the way toward the plain. ⁵ And the valiant of the Kasdiy pursue the sovereign and overtake him in the plains of Yericho; and all his valiant scatter from him: ⁶ and they apprehend the sovereign, and ascend him to the sovereign of Babel to Riblah; and they word judgment on him: ⁷ and they slaughter the sons of Sidqi Yah in front of his eyes; and blind the eyes of Sidqi Yah and bind him with fetters of copper and carry him to Babel.

¹² And says he to me, Son of humanity, you see what the elders of the house of Yisra El work in the dark - every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, Yah Veh sees us not; Yah Veh forsook the earth.

¹⁷ And I also - I smite my palms together, and I rest my fury: I Yah Veh have worded.

¹⁹ Then Nebukadnets Tsar fills with fury, and changes the image of his face against Shadrach, Meshach and Abed Nego: he answers and says for them to kindle the furnace seven above the usual kindling.

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:

¹⁴ I am poured as water and all my bones separate; my heart is as wax melted midst my inwards;

²⁷ And if you hearken not to me to hallow the shabbath day, and to not bear a burden, even entering at the portals of Yeru Shalem on the shabbath day; then I kindle a fire in the portals; and it consumes the citadels of Yeru Shalem, and quenches not.

⁷ and I give my face against them; they come from the fire; and fire consumes them: and you know I - Yah Veh when I set my face against them:

⁷ And so be it, when they say to you, Why sigh you? that you say, Because of the report; for it comes: and every heart melts and all hands slacken and every spirit dims and all knees as water: behold, it comes, and so be it - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

²² at his right is the divination for Yeru Shalem: to set rams, to open the mouth in the murder, to lift the voice with shouting, to set rams against the portals, to pour a mound and to build a battering tower.

⁹ Is not the whole land at your face? Separate, I beseech you, from me: if left, I go to the right; or if right, I go to the left.

⁴⁶ and your great sister is Shomeron - she and her daughters who settle at your left: and your younger sister who settles at your right is Sedom and her daughters.

⁴ Because I cut off from you the just and the wicked, so my sword comes from its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:

²⁰ set a way for the sword to come - to Rabbah of the sons of Ammon and to Yah Hudah in Yeru Shalem, the fortified.

⁶³ And so be it, as Yah Veh rejoiced over you to well-please you and to abound you; thus Yah Veh rejoices over you to destroy you and to desolate you; and uproot you from the soil you go to possess:

²⁴ - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth the Almighty of Yisra El. Ho, I sigh over my tribulators and avenge me of my enemies:

¹³ Thus I finish off my wrath and I rest my fury on them, and sigh: and they know that I Yah Veh word in my zeal when I finish off my fury in them.

⁴² Thus I rest my fury toward you; and turn my jealousy from you: and I rest, and vex no more.

¹³ And behold, I smite my palm at the greedy gain you work; and at your blood in your midst. ]

⁸ And he cries on me, and words to me, saying, See, these going toward the north land rest my spirit in the north land.

¹⁰ See, this day I set you overseer over the goyim and over the sovereigndoms; to uproot and to pull down and to destroy and to demolish; to build and to plant.

¹
THE SIEGE OF YERU SHALEM
And you, son of humanity, take a brick and give it at your face; and engrave thereon the city, Yeru Shalem: ² and give siege against it and build a battering tower against it and pour a mound against it; and give the camp against it, and set rams against it all around: ³ and take an iron griddle to yourself; and give it for a wall of iron between you and between the city: and establish your face against it; and it becomes under siege and you siege against it - a sign to the house of Yisra El.

¹
THE DESOLATION OF YERU SHALEM
And you, son of humanity, take a sharp sword, take a razor of a barber, and pass it over your head and over your beard: and take balances of weights and allot them. ² A third, burn with flame midst the city when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and take a third, and smite all around with a sword: and a third, scatter in the wind; and I draw a sword after them: ³ and take a few in number and bind them in your wings: ⁴ and take of them again, and cast them midst the fire and burn them in the fire; and a fire comes forth into all the house of Yisra El. ⁵ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: This is Yeru Shalem: I set it midst the goyim and lands all around her: ⁶ and she rebels against my judgments in wickedness more than the goyim, and my statutes more than the lands around her: for they refuse my judgments and my statutes and walk not in them. ⁷ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you multiply more than the goyim around you, and neither walk in my statutes nor work my judgments, nor work according to the judgments of the goyim around you; ⁸ so thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Behold, I - even I am against you, and work judgments midst you in the eyes of the goyim: ⁹ and I work in you what I neither worked nor work any more the like because of all your abhorrences. ¹⁰ So the fathers eat the sons midst you; and the sons eat their fathers: and I work judgments in you, and I winnow all your survivors into all the winds. ¹¹ So - I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh because you foul my holies with all your abominations and with all your abhorrences, I also diminish you; neither my eye spares nor I compassion. ¹² A third of you die with the pestilence - finished off with famine in your midst; and a third fall by the sword all around you; and a third I winnow into all the winds: and I draw out a sword after them. ¹³ Thus I finish off my wrath and I rest my fury on them, and sigh: and they know that I Yah Veh word in my zeal when I finish off my fury in them. ¹⁴ I give you for a parched area; and for a reproach among the goyim around you in the eyes of all who pass by: ¹⁵ and so be it, a reproach and a revilement, a discipline and a desolation to the goyim around you, when I work judgments in you in wrath and in fury and in reproofs of fury. I Yah Veh have worded. ¹⁶ I send on them the evil arrows of famine being for their ruin - which I send to ruin you: and I increase the famine on you and break your rod of bread: ¹⁷ thus I send famine on you; and evil live beings bereave you; and pestilence and blood passes through you; and I bring the sword on you. I Yah Veh have worded.

¹¹ For only Og sovereign of Bashan of the remnant of Rephaim survived; behold his bedstead - a bedstead of iron; Is it not in Rabbah of the sons of Ammon? nine cubits the length thereof and four cubits the width thereof, after the cubit of a man.

⁹ So David settles in the stronghold, and calls it the city of David; and David builds the house all around from Millo:

²⁶ And Yah Ab fights Rabbah of the sons of Ammon and captures the sovereigndom city:

⁹ Uzzi Yah builds towers in Yeru Shalem at the corner portal and at the valley portal and at the corners and strengthens them:

⁵ And he strengthens himself and builds all the broken wall so that it ascends to the towers; and another outer wall; and strengthens Millo the city of David: and works spears and bucklers in abundance.

¹⁴ And after this he builds a wall outside the city of David duskward of Gichon, in the wadi, to the entrance at the fish portal and surrounds Ophel and heightens it mightily; and sets governors of valour in all the cut off cities of Yah Hudah:

¹² Surround Siyon! Surround her! Scribe to the towers! ¹³ Set your heart on her trenches; contemplate her citadels: scribe it to the generation after.

¹ A Song of Degrees. They who confide in Yah Veh are as mount Siyon; it totters not; it settles eternally. ² As the mountains surround Yeru Shalem, thus Yah Veh surrounds his people - from this time - even eternally.

¹⁰ and you scribe the houses of Yeru Shalem and you pull down the houses to fortify the wall:

² So behold, days come, - an oracle of Yah Veh that I have a blast of war to be heard in Rabbah of the sons of Ammon; and it becomes a desolate heap: and her daughters burn with fire: and Yisra El posseses them who possessed him, says Yah Veh.

¹² The sovereigns of the earth and all who settle the world, had never trusted for the tribulator and the enemy to enter into the portals of Yeru Shalem.

⁵ and I give Rabbah as a habitation of rest for camels and the sons of Ammon as a place of rest for flocks: and you know I - Yah Veh.

¹⁴ and I kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah to consume the citadels with shouts in the day of war; with a storm in the day of the hurricane:

¹⁹ And Laban goes to shear his flock: and Rachel steals the teraphim of her father;

³⁰ And now, in going, you go; because in yearning, you yearn after the house of your father: But why stole you my elohim?

⁷ And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midyan go with the divination in their hand; and they come to Bilam and word the words of Balaq to him.

²³ Surely there is neither prognostication against Yaaqov, nor any divination against Yisra El: according to this time it is said of Yaaqov and of Yisra El, What El works!

²⁸ - and Balaq takes Bilam to the top of Peor, at the face of the desolation.

¹⁰ lest you find any among you who passes his son or his daughter through the fire or a diviner or a cloudgazer or a prognosticater or a sorcerer

⁵ And the man Michah Yah has a house of elohim and works an ephod and teraphim and fills the hand of one of his sons who becomes his priest.

¹⁴ Then the five men who go to spy out the land of Laish answer and say to their brothers, Know you, that in these houses, there are an ephod and a teraphim and a sculptile and a molten? Now perceive what to work.

¹⁸ and they go in the house of Michah Yah and take the sculptile and the ephod and the teraphim and the molten. And the priest says to them, What work you?

²⁰ And the heart of the priest is well-pleased; and he takes the ephod and the teraphim and the sculptile and goes midst the people:

²⁴ And he says, You take the elohim I worked and the priest and you go! What more have I? What is this that you say to me, What - to you?

²³ For rebellion is the sin of divination and stubbornness, mischief and teraphim: because you refuse the word of Yah Veh he also refuses you from being sovereign.

²⁴ And Yoshi Yah also burnt the necromancers and the knowers and the teraphim and the idols and all the abominations seen in the land of Yah Hudah and in Yeru Shalem, to raise the words of the torah inscribed in the scroll that Hilqi Yah the priest found in the house of Yah Veh.

¹⁰ Divination is in the lips of the sovereign; his mouth treasons not in judgment.

³³ The pebble is cast into the bosom; and all judgment is of Yah Veh.

¹ The heart of the sovereign is in the hand of Yah Veh; as the rivulets of water he spreads it wherever he desires.

⁴ The sons of Yisra El settle for many days with no sovereign and no governor; no sacrifice, no monolith, no ephod, no teraphim:

¹² my people ask at their trees, and their staff tells them: for the spirit of whoredoms strays them and they whore from under their Elohim:

² because the teraphim words mischief, and the diviners see a falsehood and word vain dreams; they sigh in vain: so they go their way as a flock, they answer that there is no tender.

¹⁶
PAULOS EVANGELIZES OUT A SPIRIT OF PYTHON
And so be it, as we go to prayer, a lass having a spirit of Python meets us, who presents her adonim much work by soothsaying:

¹⁷ And when Yah Shua hears the voice of the people as they shout, he says to Mosheh, A voice of war in the camp. ¹⁸ And he says, It is neither the voice of them who answer of might, nor is it the voice of them who answer of vanquish: but it is the voice of the humble I hear.

¹⁰ And Yah Shua misvahs the people, saying, Neither shout, nor have your voice heard, nor any word go from your mouth, until the day I say, Shout! then, shout!

²⁰ So the people shout and blast with the shophars: and so be it, when the people hear the voice of the shophar and the people shout with a great shouting the wall falls flat; so that the people ascended into the city; and every man straight in front of him captures the city:

²⁰ and David starts early in the morning and leaves the flock with a guard; and lifts and goes as Yishay misvahs him: and he comes to the route, as the valiant go forth to the ranks and shout for the war:

²⁵ He says among the shophars, Aha! And he scents the war afar off - the thunder of the governors and the shouting.

²⁴ Behold the mounds, they come to the city to capture it - to give the city into the hand of the Kesediym who fight against it at the face of the sword and of the famine and of the pestilence: and what you worded, becomes; and behold, you see.

⁴ For thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah - which are pulled down by the mounds and by the sword;

¹⁴ Yah Veh Sabaoth oaths by his soul, Surely I fill you with humanity as with cankerworms; and they answer a shout against you.

⁴ And so be it, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel comes - he and all his valiant against Yeru Shalem and encamp against it; and builds battering towers against it all around:

² and give siege against it and build a battering tower against it and pour a mound against it; and give the camp against it, and set rams against it all around:

⁹ and he give battering rams against your walls and with his sword he pulls down your towers.

¹⁵ then the man brings his woman to the priest and he brings her qorban for her, the tenth of an ephah of barley flour; he neither pours oil thereon, nor puts frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of suspicion - an offering of memorial bringing perversity to remembrance.

¹⁸ And she says to Eli Yah, What have I to do with you, O you man of Elohim? Come you to me to call my perversity to remembrance and to deathify my son?

²⁰ For the wrath of Yah Veh is against Yeru Shalem and against Yah Hudah until he casts them from his face, that Sidqi Yah rebels against the sovereign of Babel.

¹³ and he also rebels against sovereign Nebukadnets Tsar - who has him oath by Elohim: but he hardens his neck and strengthens his heart from turning to Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El.

¹⁴ So hear the word of Yah Veh, you scornful men who reign over this people in Yeru Shalem: 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.

³ For because of the wrath of Yah Veh it is in Yeru Shalem and Yah Hudah, until he casts them from his face; and Sidqi Yah rebels against the sovereign of Babel. ⁴ And so be it, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel comes - he and all his valiant against Yeru Shalem and encamp against it; and builds battering towers against it all around: ⁵ thus the city comes under siege to the eleventh year of sovereign Sidqi Yah. ⁶ And in the fourth month, in the ninth of the month, the famine prevails in the city, and there is no bread for the people of the land. ⁷ Then the city splits and all the men of war flee; and go from the city by night by the way of the portal between the two walls by the garden of the sovereign - the Kesediym are all around the city; and they go by the way of the plain: ⁸ and the valiant of the Kesediym pursue the sovereign and overtake Sidqi Yah in the plains of Yericho; and all his valiant scatter from him: ⁹ and they apprehend the sovereign, and ascend him to the sovereign of Babel - to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he words judgment on him. ¹⁰ And the sovereign of Babel slaughters the sons of Sidqi Yah in front of his eyes: he also slaughters all the governors of Yah Hudah in Riblah: ¹¹ and he blinds the eyes of Sidqi Yah; and the sovereign of Babel binds him in coppers and carries him to Babel; and gives him in the house of visitation until the day of his death.

³ saying, It is not near; build houses: this is the caldron, and we the flesh.

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

¹³ and takes of the seed of the kingdom and cuts a covenant with him and takes an oath of him: he also takes the mighty of the land: ¹⁴ so that the sovereigndom becomes lowly - that it not lift itself; to guard his covenant, so that it stands. ¹⁵ And he rebels against him by sending his angels into Misrayim, so that they give him horses and much people. Prospers he? Escapes he who works such? Or, breaks he the covenant and escapes? ¹⁶ I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh in the place of the sovereign who has him reign - whose oath he despises and whose covenant he breaks, dies he not with him midst Babel? ¹⁷ Not even Paroh with his great valiant and great congregation works for him in the war by pouring mounds, and building battering towers to cut off many souls: ¹⁸ seeing he despises the oath by breaking the covenant, and behold, he gives his hand to work all these; he escapes not. ¹⁹ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I live! My oath that he despises, and my covenant that he breaks, give I not on his own head?

²⁴ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you memorialize your perversity, in that you expose your rebellions so that your sins are seen in all your exploits: because you memorialize, you are apprehended by the palm.

¹⁶ And so be it no more the confidence of the house of Yisra El - who remembers their perversity, when they faced after them: and they know I - Adonay Yah Veh.

¹⁹ And so be it, the megalopolis is in three parts and the cities of the goyim fall: and mega Babel is remembered in sight of Elohim, to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath:

⁹ their partiality of face answers against them; and they tell their sin as Sedom - they conceal not. Woe to their soul! for they deal themselves evil.

¹⁷ Behold, in casting, Yah Veh casts you, O mighty, and in covering, covers you: ¹⁸ in whirling, he whirls - whirls you as a whirler into a land large of hand: there you die, and there the chariots of your honor are the abasement of the house of adoni:

³⁴ Also found in your wings is the blood of the souls of the needy innocents: I found it not by digging, but on all these.

² Lift your eyes to the barrens and see! Where have you not raped? You sit for them in the ways as the Arabiy in the wilderness; and you profane the land with your whoredoms and with your evil.

²⁷ as a cage full of flyers, thus are their houses full of deceit: so they greaten and enrich; ²⁸ they fatten; they shine: yes, they overpass the words of the evil: they plead not the cause - the cause of the orphan, yet they prosper; and the judgment of the needy they judge not.

¹⁵ Shame they when they work abhorrence? No! In shaming, they neither shame nor know how to shame: so they fall among the fallen: at the time I visit them, they falter, says Yah Veh.

¹² Shame they when they work abhorrence? No, in shaming, they neither shame, nor know they to blush: so they fall among the fallen: - falter in the time of their visitation, says Yah Veh.

² Oh that it be, that I be in the wilderness as a lodging place of caravans; and I forsake my people and go from them; for they all adultererize - a private assembly who deals covertly: ³ and they bend their tongues as their bow for falsehood: and as for trustworthiness, they prevail not mightily on the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil and they know me not - an oracle of Yah Veh. ⁴ On guard, every man, of his friend and confide not in any brother: for in tripping the heel every brother trips the heel; and every friend walks with talebearers: ⁵ and every man mocks his friend and words not the truth: they teach their tongue to word falsehoods and weary themselves to pervert. ⁶ You settle midst deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me - an oracle of Yah Veh. ⁷ So thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth, Behold, I refine them, and proof them; for how work I at the face of the daughter of my people?

¹⁶ And from your clothes, you take of the patches, and work your bamahs and whore thereon: such as neither has come, nor becomes. ¹⁷ And you take your instruments of adornment of my gold and of my silver, which I give you, and work images of males to yourself and whore with them; ¹⁸ and take your clothes of embroidery and cover them: and you give my oil and my incense at their face: ¹⁹ and the meat I give you - flour and oil and honey to eat, you even give at their face for a scent of rest: and so be it, - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. ²⁰ And you take your sons and your daughters, whom you birthed to me, and you sacrifice them to be eaten. Are these trifling - your whoredoms, ²¹ to slaughter my sons, and give them to pass through? ²² And in all your abhorrences and your whoredoms you remember not the days of your youth, when you were naked and nude, and were trampled in your blood.

³ saying, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: The city pours blood in its midst, so that her time approaches: and she works idols against herself to foul herself. ⁴ You guilt in that you pour blood; and foul yourself by the idols you work; and you cause your days to approach, and approach your years: so I give you - a reproach to the goyim and a ridicule to all lands. ⁵ The near, and the far from you, all ridicule you, O polluted of name and much confused. ⁶ Behold, the hierarchs of Yisra El, every man of you, according to his arm, pours blood: ⁷ in you they abase father and mother: in your midst they worked oppression with the sojourner: in you they vex the orphan and the widow. ⁸ You despise my holies and you profane my shabbaths: ⁹ in you are men - talebearers to pour blood: and in you they eat on the mountains: in your midst they work intrigue: ¹⁰ in you they expose the nakedness of their fathers: in you they debase her who was excluded for foulness. ¹¹ And every man works abhorrence with the woman of his friend: and every man intriguingly fouls his daughter in law: and every man in you debases his sister - the daughter of his father: ¹² in you they take bribes to pour blood: you take usury and bounty and you greedily gain of your friends by extortion: and forget me - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

²⁴ Son of humanity, say to her, You are the land - neither purified nor rained on in the day of rage ²⁵ - a conspiracy of prophets in her midst: as a roaring lion tearing the prey, they devour souls: they take the wealthy and esteemed; they abound her widows in her midst: ²⁶ her priests violate my torah and profane my holies: they neither separate between the holy and profane nor make known between the foul and the pure; and conceal their eyes from my shabbaths, and I am profaned among them. ²⁷ Her governors midst her are as wolves tearing the prey, to pour blood; to destroy souls; to greedily gain greedy gain: ²⁸ and her prophets daub them with slime - seers of vanity, divining lies to them, saying, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: when Yah Veh words not. ²⁹ The people of the land in oppressing, oppress; and in stripping, strip; and vex the humble and needy: yes, they oppress the sojourner without judgment. ³⁰ And I seek for a man among them, to wall up the wall, and stand in the breach at my face for the land to not ruin it: and I find no one: ³¹ and I pour my rage on them; I finished them off with the fire of my wrath: I give their own way on their heads - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

⁵ And Oholah whores under me; and she pants after her lovers - on the neighboring Ashshuri ⁶ - governors and prefects enrobed with blue - all youths of desire - cavalry riding on horses. ⁷ Thus she gives her whoredoms with them - with all the chosen sons of Ashshur and with all whom she pants after: she fouls herself with all their idols: ⁸ she forsakes not her whoredoms from Misrayim: for in her youth they lie with her and work the nipples of her virginity and pour their whoredom on her. ⁹ So I give her into the hand of her lovers - into the hand of the sons of Ashshur whom she pants after. ¹⁰ They expose her nakedness: they take her sons and her daughters and slaughter her with the sword: and she becomes a name among women; and they work judgments on her. ¹¹ And her sister Oholi Bah sees this, and in her panting, she ruins more than her, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms. ¹² She pants after the neighboring sons of Ashshur - governors and prefects enrobed most splendidly, - cavalry riding on horses - all youths of desire. ¹³ Then I see her foul - one way to both; ¹⁴ and she increases her whoredoms: for when she sees men engraved on the wall - images of the Kesediym engraved with vermilion ¹⁵ girdled with girdles on their loins exceeding in dyed attire on their heads - all of them tertiaries in visage after the likeness of the sons of Babel of Kesediym, the land of their kindred. ¹⁶ And at the sight of her eyes, she pants after them, and sends angels to them to Kesediym: ¹⁷ and the sons of Babel come to her into the bed of love, and they foul her with their whoredom and she is fouled by them; and her soul alienates from them: ¹⁸ and she exposes her whoredoms and exposes her nakedness: and I alienate my soul from her as I alienated my soul from her sister: ¹⁹ and she abounds her whoredoms in remembering the days of her youth wherein she whored in the land of Misrayim: ²⁰ and she pants after their concubines - whose flesh is as the flesh of burros and whose flux is as the flux of horses. ²¹ You visit the intrigue of your youth, in working your nipples by the Misrayim for the breasts of your youth.

⁷ For her blood is in her midst; she sets it on the clearing of a rock; she pours it not on the earth, to cover it with dust;

² oathing and lying and murder and stealing and adulterizing separate; and blood touches blood.

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: ³ and if they hide in the top of Karmel/orchard I search and take them from there; and if they hide from my eyes in the floor of the sea I misvah the serpent to bite them there;

¹⁰ - who build Siyon with blood and Yeru Shalem with wickedness. 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! ¹² So because of you Siyon is plowed as a field and Yeru Shalem becomes heaps; and the mountain of the house as the bamahs of the forest.

⁹ I beseech, cease the evil of the wicked; and establish the just: for the just Elohim proofs the hearts and reins.

⁵ you rebuke the goyim; you destroy the wicked; you erase their name eternally and eternally. ⁶ O you enemy, your parched areas consummate in perpetuity; and the cities you uprooted - their memorial destructs with them.

⁸ And as the evil figs, not eaten for their evil, thus says Yah Veh: Thus I give Sidqi Yah the sovereign of Yah Hudah and his governors and the survivors of Yeru Shalem who survive in this land - who settle in the land of Misrayim:

¹³ O you who tabernacles on many waters; abundant in treasures; your end is come - the measure of your greedy gain.

² And he works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh according to all Yah Yaqim worked.

⁶ an end has arrived, the end arrives; it wakens for you; behold, it arrives:

¹⁹ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I live! My oath that he despises, and my covenant that he breaks, give I not on his own head?

²⁹ As they see vanity for you, as they divine a lie for you, to give you on the necks of the pierced - of the wicked whose day approaches, the time of the perversity of the end.

³ - for the day is near - the day of Yah Veh is near; a day of clouds; it is the time of the goyim:

⁵ Because of your eternal enmity, and you pour the sons of Yisra El by the hands of the sword in the time of their calamity - in the time of the perversity of the end:

⁷ Yah Veh dispossesses, and enriches; he abases, and lifts: ⁸ he raises the poor from the dust; and lifts the needy from the dunghill - to set them among volunteers - to inherit the throne of honor: for the pillars of the earth are unto Yah Veh and on them he set the world.

⁶ and they apprehend the sovereign, and ascend him to the sovereign of Babel to Riblah; and they word judgment on him:

²⁷ And so be it, in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Yah Yachin sovereign of Yah Hudah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh of the month, Evil Merodach sovereign of Babel in the year he begins to reign lifts the head of Yah Yachin sovereign of Yah Hudah from the house of prison;

⁷ But Elohim is judge; he abases one and exalts another.

⁷ He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the dunghill ⁸ to set them with volunteers - the volunteers of his people.

¹⁸ Say to the sovereign and to the lady, Abase! Sit! - for your headships descend - even the crown of your adornment.

⁶ And the sovereign of Babel slaughters the sons of Sidqi Yah in Riblah in front of his eyes: yes, the sovereign of Babel slaughters all the nobles of Yah Hudah: ⁷ and he blinds the eyes of Sidqi Yah and binds him with coppers to carry him to Babel.

³¹ And so be it, in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Yah Yachin sovereign of Yah Hudah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty-fifth of the month, Evil Merodach sovereign of Babel in the year of his sovereigndom lifts the head of Yah Yachin sovereign of Yah Hudah; and brings him from the prison house; ³² and words good to him: and gives his throne above the throne of the sovereigns with him in Babel: ³³ and changes his prison clothes: and he continually eats bread at his face all the days of his life. ³⁴ And for his ration, he is a given continual ration of the sovereign of Babel - a word day by day until the day of his death all the days of his life.

¹⁶ the crown is fallen from our head; woe to us, for we sinned!

¹² and the hierarch among them bears on his shoulder in the dusk, and goes forth: they dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he covers his face so that he sees not the earth with his eyes. ¹³ and I spread my net on him, and apprehend him in my lure: and I bring him to Babel to the land of the Kesediym; yet he sees it not, though he dies there:

¹² and I give a nosering on your nostrils and earrings in your ears and a crown of adornment on your head:

²⁴ and all the trees of the field know that I Yah Veh lower the high tree; heighten the low tree: wither the fresh tree; and blossom the dry tree: I Yah Veh word and work it.

⁵² he puts down the dynasties from their thrones and exalts the humble:

¹⁰ Neither turns the scion aside from Yah Hudah nor a statute setter from between his feet until Shiloh come; and the obedience of the people is his:

¹⁹ From Yaaqov comes he who has dominion and destroys him who survives of the city.

⁶ And I - I anointed my sovereign on my holy mount Siyon;

⁷ The just blossom in their day; and abundance of shalom until there is no moon. ⁸ He subjugates from sea to sea - from the river to the finalities of the earth: ⁹ desertdwellers kneel at his face and his enemies lick the dust. ¹⁰ The sovereigns of Tarshish and of the islands return offerings; the sovereigns of Sheba and Seba oblate their hire;

⁶
A CHILD IS BORN, A SON IS GIVEN
For a child is birthed to us; a son is given to us - and the dominion is on his shoulder: and he calls his name ^{\super *} Marvelous, Counsellor, Mighty El, Eternal Father, Governor of Shalom. ^{*singular 7} Of the increase of his dominion and shalom there is no end, on the throne of David and on his sovereigndom; to establish and to support with judgment and with justness from henceforth - even eternally. The zeal of Yah Veh Sabaoth works this.

⁵ Behold, days come, - an oracle of Yah Veh that I raise to David a just Sprout, and a Sovereign reigns and comprehends and works judgment and justness in the earth. ⁶ In his days Yah Hudah is saved, and Yisra El dwells confidently: and this is his name whereby he is called, Yah Veh Sidqenuw.

²¹ And their mighty become from themselves, and their sovereign proceeds from their midst: and I have him approach; and he approaches to me: for who is this who pleases his heart to approach to me? - an oracle of Yah Veh.

¹⁵ In those days, and at that time, I sprout the Sprout of justness unto David; to work judgment and justness in the land. ¹⁶ In those days Yah Hudah is saved, and Yeru Shalem tabernacles confidently: and this is what to call her: Yah Veh Sidqenuw.

²¹ then I also break my covenant with David my servant, that he has no son reigning on his throne; and with the Leviym the priests, my ministers.

²⁶ then I also spurn the seed of Yaaqov and David my servant, that I not take of his seed to be sovereigns over the seed of Abraham, Yischaq, and Yaaqov: for I restore their captivity, and mercy them.

²² Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I also take of the foliage of the high cedar and give it; I pluck a tender one from the top of his sprouts and transplant it on a high and lofty mountain ²³ - transplant it in the mountain of the height of Yisra El: and it bears branches and works fruit and becomes a mighty cedar: and all birds of every wing tabernacle under it; in the shadow of the branches they tabernacle:

¹³ because it is to proof: and what if it spurns even the scion? So be it not - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

²³ and I raise one tender over them - my servant David; and he tends them; he tends them and he becomes their tender.

²⁴
THE SOVEREIGNDOM OF DAVID
And David my servant is sovereign over them; and their is one tender: and they walk in my judgments and guard my statutes and work them: ²⁵ and they dwell in the land I gave to Yaaqov my servant, wherein your fathers settled: and they settle therein - they and their sons, and the sons of their sons eternally: and my servant David is their hierarch eternally.

⁴⁴ And in the days of these sovereigns Elah of the heavens raises a sovereigndom, which despoils not eternally: and the sovereigndom is not left to other people, it pulverizes and consumes all these sovereigndoms and it is raised eternally.

²⁵ So know and comprehend, that from the proceeding of the word to restore and to build Yeru Shalem to the Messiah, the Eminent is seven weeks and sixty-two weeks - to restore and rebuild the broadway and the trench even in times of distress.

⁵ afterward the sons of Yisra El return and seek Yah Veh their Elohim and David their sovereign; and fear Yah Veh and his goodness in the latter days.

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: ¹² so that they possess the survivors of Edom and of all the goyim on whom my name is called - an oracle of Yah Veh who works this.

² But you, Beth Lechem Ephrath, being little among the thousands of Yah Hudah, from you he comes to me to become sovereign in Yisra El; whose proceeds are from antiquity - from days eternal.

⁷ and I quake all goyim and the desire of all goyim approaches: and I fill this house with honor, says Yah Veh Sabaoth.

²¹ Speak to Zerub Babel governor of Yah Hudah, saying, I quake the heavens and the earth; ²² and I overturn the throne of sovereigndoms; and I desolate the strength of the sovereigndoms of the goyim; and I overturn the chariots and their riders: and the horses and their riders topple - every man by the sword of his brother.

¹² snd say to him, saying, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: saying, Behold the man whose name is The SPROUT; and he sprouts from his place and he builds the manse of Yah Veh: ¹³ yes, he builds the manse of Yah Veh; and he bears the majesty and sits and reigns on his throne; and he becomes a priest on his throne: and the counsel of shalom becomes between them both.

⁹
THE SAVING SOVEREIGN
Twirl mightily, O daughter of Siyon! Shout, O daughter of Yeru Shalem! Behold, your Sovereign comes to you: he is just and saving; humble - and riding on a burro and on a colt the son of a she burro.

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
THE SUN OF JUSTNESS
And to you who fear my name, the Sun of justness rises with healing in his wings; and you go, and grow as calves of the stall:

¹⁸
THE FINAL MISVAH OF YAH SHUA
And Yah Shua comes and speaks to them, wording, All authority is given me in the heavens and in earth.

³² He becomes mega and is called the Son of Elyon: and Yah Veh Elohim gives him the throne of his father David:

⁶⁹ and raises a horn of salvation for us in the house of his lad David;

¹¹ for to you is birthed this day in the city of David a Saviour who is Messiah Adonay:

⁴ in him life was; and the life was the light of humanity:

⁹ - the true light who lights every human coming into the cosmos.

²⁰ which he energized in the Messiah when he raised him from the dead and sat him at his right in the heavenlies, ²¹ far above all hierarchies and authority and dynamis and lordship and every name that is named - not only in this eon but also in the coming: ²² and subjugated all under his feet and gave him head over all to the ecclesia

⁹
THE EXALTATION OF MESSIAH
So Elohim also supremely exalted him and granted him charism - a name above every name: ¹⁰ that in the name of Yah Shua every knee bows - of the heavenlies and earthly and subterranean;

²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth. And now he pre-evangelizes, wording, Still once more I quake, not only the earth, but also the heavens. ²⁷ And this: Still once more evidences the transplacing of those that are shaken as of those that are made; that those that cannot be shaken still abide.

²² who went into the heavens - at the right of Elohim angels and authorities and dynamis being subjugated to him.

¹¹
THE SOVEREIGN OF SOVEREIGNS, ADONAY OF ADONIYM, AND WARRIORS IN THE HEAVENS SMITE THE GOYIM
And I see the heavens open; and behold, a white horse; and he sitting on him is called Trustworthy and True; and in justness he judges and wars. ¹² His eyes are as a flame of fire and on his head are many diadems; and he has a name scribed, that no man knows - except he himself: ¹³ and he is arrayed with a garment baptized in blood: and his name is called The Word of Elohim. ¹⁴ And the warriors in the heavens follow him on white horses, endued in white linen - white and pure: ¹⁵ and a sharp sabre proceeds from his mouth to smite the goyim and to shepherd them in a scion of iron: and he tramples the wine trough of the fury and wrath of El Sabaoth. ¹⁶ And on his garment and on his thigh he has a name scribed, SOVEREIGN OF SOVEREIGNS, AND ADONAY OF ADONIYM.

MESSAGE AGAINST THE SONS OF AMMON
Concerning the sons of Ammon, thus says Yah Veh: Has Yisra El no sons? - No successor? Why has their sovereign succeeded Gad? - and his people settle in his cities? ² So behold, days come, - an oracle of Yah Veh that I have a blast of war to be heard in Rabbah of the sons of Ammon; and it becomes a desolate heap: and her daughters burn with fire: and Yisra El posseses them who possessed him, says Yah Veh. ³ Howl, O Heshbon, for Ay is ravaged! Cry, you daughters of Rabbah; gird with saq; chop, and flit by the walls; for their sovereign goes into exile together with his priests and his governors. ⁴ Why halal in the valleys - your flowing valley, O apostate daughter? Who confides in her treasures? Who comes to me? ⁵ Behold, I bring a fear on you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth from all them all around you; and they drive you out - every man from his face; and no one gathers him who wanders:

⁹ Son of humanity, prophesy; and say, Thus says Yah Veh: Say, A sword - a sword sharpened and polished ¹⁰ - sharpened to slaughter a slaughter - polished as lightning: Rejoice we? It spurns the scion of my son, as every tree.

² Son of humanity, set your face against the sons of Ammon and prophesy against them: ³ and say to the sons of Ammon, Hear the word of Adonay Yah Veh; Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you say, Aha! against my holies, when it profanes; and against the soil of Yisra El, when it desolates; and against the house of Yah Hudah, when they go into exile; ⁴ behold, so I give you to the sons of the east for a possession; and they set their walls in you and give their tabernacles in you: they eat your fruit and they drink your milk: ⁵ and I give Rabbah as a habitation of rest for camels and the sons of Ammon as a place of rest for flocks: and you know I - Yah Veh. ⁶ For thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you clap the hand, and stamp the foot, and cheer in soul with all your despite against the soil of Yisra El; ⁷ behold, so I spread my hand on you and give you for plunder to the goyim; and I cut you off from the people, and I destroy you from the countries: I desolate you; and you know I - Yah Veh.

¹³ Thus says Yah Veh: For three rebellions of the sons of Ammon, and for four, I restore them not; because of splitting the women with child of Gilad, to enlarge their border: ¹⁴ and I kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah to consume the citadels with shouts in the day of war; with a storm in the day of the hurricane: ¹⁵ and their sovereign goes into exile - he and his governors together, says Yah Veh.

⁸ I hear the reproach of Moab and the revilings of the sons of Ammon - whereby they reproach my people, and greaten against their border: ⁹ so, I live - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El. Surely Moab is as Sedom and the sons of Ammon as Amorah - the possession of nettles and saltpits - an eternal desolation: the survivors of my people plunder them and the remnant of my goyim inherit them. ¹⁰ This is for their pomp, because they reproach and greaten against the people of Yah Veh Sabaoth.

²⁰ They who come after him astonish at his day as the ancients whirl away.

¹³ Adonay laughs at him; for he sees his day coming.

²⁵ who breaks the signs of lies and exposes diviners as mad; who turns the wise backward and follies their knowledge;

¹³ You weary in the abundance of your counsels. I beseech you, have the horoscopists of the heavens, the seers of stars, the knowers of months stand up and save you from these that come on you.

⁹ And you, hearken neither to your prophets nor to your diviners nor to your dreamers nor to your cloudgazers nor to your sorcerers who speak to you, saying, You, serve not the sovereign of Babel:

¹⁴ Your prophets see your vanity and your slime; and they expose not your perversity to turn your captivity; but see for you vain burdens and seductions.

²⁴ for there is neither any more a vain vision nor smoothing divination within the house of Yisra El.

⁶ They see vanity and lying divination, saying, - An oracle of Yah Veh! and Yah Veh sent them not: and they hope to confirm the word.

¹⁰ Because, even because they seduce my people, saying, Shalom; and there is no shalom; and one builds a wall; and behold, others daub it with slime.

²³ so you neither see more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I rescue my people from your hand: and you know I - Yah Veh.

²⁸ and her prophets daub them with slime - seers of vanity, divining lies to them, saying, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: when Yah Veh words not.

¹⁴ and also that goyim whom they serve - I plead their cause: and thus they come out with great acquisitions.

³ and say, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh to Yeru Shalem; Your origin and your kindred is of the land of Kenaan - your father an Emoriy and your mother a Hethiy: ⁴ and as for your kindred, in the day you were birthed, neither was your navel cut nor were you baptized in water for inspection; in salting, you were not salted; in swathing, you were not swathed:

³⁸ And I judge you with judgments as adulteresses who pour blood; and I give you blood and fury and jealousy:

⁴ Because I cut off from you the just and the wicked, so my sword comes from its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north: ⁵ so that all flesh knows that I Yah Veh draw my sword from his sheath: to return no more:

¹³ You, were in Eden the garden of Elohim; every esteemed stone, your covering - the sardius, topaz, and the diamond; the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper; the sapphire, the emerald and the carbuncle and gold: the workmanship of your tambourines and of your pipes was prepared in you in the day that you were created.

¹⁵ You, integrious in your ways from the day of your creating, until wickedness was found in you.

¹⁵ And the reservoirs of waters were seen, and exposed are the foundations of the world at your rebuke, O Yah Veh - at the breath of the wind/spirit of your nostrils.

⁴ - to lift this proverb against the sovereign of Babel, and say, How the exactor shabbathizes! The extortioners of gold shabbathize! ⁵ Yah Veh breaks the rod of the wicked - the scion of the sovereigns: ⁶ he who smote the people in wrath with a stroke without revolt, who subjugates the goyim in wrath persecutes; spares no one.

³³ For Topheth lined up since yesterday; yes, prepared for the sovereign; he deepens and enlarges: the fuel pile is fire and abounding timber; the breath of Yah Veh, as a wadi of sulphur, burns it.

⁷ Behold, I give a spirit on him, and he hears a report, and returns to his own land; and I fell him by the sword in his own land.

⁷ the grass withers; the blossom withers: because the spirit of Yah Veh blows thereon: surely the people is grass.

⁷ The lion ascends from his thicket and the ruiner of the goyim is on his way; he comes from his place to set your land desolate; and set your cities desolate; without a settler.

²² Thus says Yah Veh, Behold, a people comes from the north land and a great goyim wakens from the flanks of the earth: ²³ they lay hold on bow and dart; they are cruel, and mercy not; their voice roars as the sea; and they ride on horses - lined up as men for war against you, O daughter of Siyon.

⁸ Now, soon I pour my fury on you, and finish off my wrath on you: and I judge you according to your ways, and give you for all your abhorrences.

¹⁹ Or, I send a pestilence into that land and pour my fury thereon in blood - to cut off humanity and animal therefrom:

²⁰ a gathering of silver and copper and iron and lead and tin midst the furnace, to puff the fire thereon, to melt: thus I gather you in my wrath and in my fury and I leave you and melt you: ²¹ yes, I gather you, and puff on you in the fire of my wrath, and melt you in the midst: ²² as silver melts midst the furnace, thus you melt in the midst: and you know that I Yah Veh pour my fury on you.

⁶ Who stands at the face of his rage? And who rises in the fuming of his wrath? He pours his fury as fire and pulls down the rocks.

⁶ For, behold, I raise the Kesediym, that bitter and hasty goyim, to walk through the expanse of the land; to possess the tabernacles which are not theirs: ⁷ - terrible and awesome: their judgment and their exalting proceeds from themselves: ⁸ with horses swifter than leopards and sharper than the evening wolves: and their cavalry spread themselves and their cavalry comes from afar; they fly as the eagle hastening to devour: ⁹ they all come for violence; their faces suck the easterly and they gather the captivity as the sand. ¹⁰ And they ridicule sovereigns, and potentates are their laughingstock: they ridicule every fortress; for they heap dust and capture it.

⁹ You face aboundingly, and behold, little; and when you bring it home, I puff thereon: Why? - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth because my house is parched, and you, every man runs to his own house:

¹⁹ El is neither a man, that he lies; nor the son of humanity, that he sighs: Says he ever, and not work? Or words he ever, and it not rise?

³ and their pierced are cast out and their stink ascends from their carcases and the mountains melt with their blood: ⁴ and all the host of the heavens dissolves and the heavens roll together as a scroll: and all their host withers as the leaf withers from the vine - as a withering from the fig tree. ⁵ For my sword saturates in the heavens: behold, it descends on Edom and on the people of my devotement to judgment. ⁶ The sword of Yah Veh fills with blood, - fattens with fat with the blood of rams and he goats; with the fat of the reins of rams: for Yah Veh - a sacrifice in Bosrah and a great slaughter in the land of Edom. ⁷ And the reems descend with them and the bullocks with the mighty; and their land saturates with blood and their dust fattens with fat:

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.

¹⁰ to the sons of the east with the sons of Ammon; and give them in possession: so that the sons of Ammon are not remembered among the goyim:

⁹ so, I live - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El. Surely Moab is as Sedom and the sons of Ammon as Amorah - the possession of nettles and saltpits - an eternal desolation: the survivors of my people plunder them and the remnant of my goyim inherit them.

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.

¹⁰ and also the axe is already laid to the root of the trees: so every tree not producing good fruit is exscinded and cast into the fire.

¹² whose winnowing fan is in his hand; and he throughly purges his threshing floor, and gathers his grain into the granary; but he burns the chaff with unquenchable fire.

³⁵ the heavens and earth pass but my words never no way pass:
