SANCHERIB APPREHENDS YAH HUDAH
And so be it, in the fourteenth year of sovereign Yechizqi Yah, Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur ascends against all the fortified cities of Yah Hudah and apprehends them: ² and the sovereign of Ashshur sends Rab Shaqeh from Lachish to Yeru Shalem to king Yechizqi Yah - heavy with valiant: and he stands by the channel of the most high pool in the highway of the field of the fuller. ³ Then El Yaqim the son of Hilqi Yah who is over the house comes to him, with Shebna the scribe, and Yah Ach the son of Asaph the memorializer. ⁴ And Rab Shaqeh says to them, You, say, I beseech, to Yechizqi Yah, Thus says the great sovereign - the sovereign of Ashshur, What is this confidence wherein you confide? ⁵ I say, surely, words of lips! Counsel and might are for war! Now on whom confide you, to rebel against me? ⁶ Behold, you confide in the crutch of this crushed stalk - on Misrayim; whereon, if a man props, it goes into his palm, and pierces: thus is Paroh sovereign of Misrayim to all who confide in him. ⁷ And if you say to me, We confide in Yah Veh our Elohim! - is it not he, whose bamahs and whose sacrifice altars Yechizqi Yah turned aside, and said to Yah Hudah and to Yeru Shalem, Prostrate you at the face of this sacrifice altar? ⁸ And now pledge, I beseech you, to my adoni the sovereign of Ashshur, and I give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to give riders on them. ⁹ And how turn you away the face of one governor of the lesser of the servants of my adoni, and confide on Misrayim for chariots and for cavalry? ¹⁰ And now ascend I without Yah Veh against this land to ruin it? Yah Veh said to me, Ascend against this land, and ruin it. ¹¹ And El Yaqim and Shebna and Yah Ach say to Rab Shaqeh, Word, I beseech you, to your servants in Aramaic; for we hear: and word not to us in Yah Hudaic, in the ears of the people on the wall. ¹² And Rab Shaqeh says, Has my adoni sent me to your adoni to word these words to you? Is it not to the men who sit on the wall to eat their own excrements and drink the urine at their feet with you? ¹³ And Rab Shaqeh stands and calls out with a great voice in Yah Hudaic, and says, You, hear the words of the great sovereign the sovereign of Ashshur! ¹⁴ Thus says the sovereign, Neither let Yechizqi Yah deceive you: for he is not able to rescue you: ¹⁵ nor let Yechizqi Yah have you confide in Yah Veh, saying, In rescuing, Yah Veh rescues us. This city is not given into the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur. ¹⁶ Hearken not to Yechizqi Yah: for thus says the sovereign of Ashshur, Work a blessing with me and come out to me and every man eat of his vine and every man of his fig tree; and every man drink the waters of his own well; ¹⁷ - until I come and take you away to a land like your own land - a land of crop and juice, a land of bread and vineyards; ¹⁸ lest Yechizqi Yah goads you, saying, Yah Veh rescues us. Has any man of the elohim of the goyim rescued his land from the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur? ¹⁹ Where are the elohim of Hamath and Arphad? Where are the elohim of Sepharvayim? Rescued they Shomeron from my hand? ²⁰ Who are they, among all the elohim of these lands, who rescued their land from my hand, that Yah Veh rescue Yeru Shalem from my hand? ²¹ And they hush and answer him not a word: for the misvah of the sovereign is, saying, Answer him not. ²² And El Yaqim the son of Hilqi Yah who is over the household, comes with Shebna the scribe, and Yah Ach the son of Asaph, the memorializer, to Yechizqi Yah with their clothes ripped, and tell him the words of Rab Shaqeh.

²⁰ and also say, Behold, your servant Yaaqov is behind us: for he says, I kapar/atone at his face with the offering that goes at my face and afterward, I see his face: perhaps he lifts at my face.

¹¹ Take, I beseech you, the blessing I bring you; because Elohim grants me charism and because I have all. - and he urges him and he takes.

⁸ and I descend to deliver them from the hand of the Misrayim - ascend them from that land to a good and broad land to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Kenaaniy and the Hethiy and the Emoriy and the Perizziy and the Hivviy and the Yebusiy;

² And Paroh says, Who is Yah Veh, that I hear his voice to send Yisra El away? I neither know Yah Veh nor send I Yisra El away.

²⁹ and you eat the flesh of your sons and you eat the flesh of your daughters.

⁸ - survey from mount Hor to the entrance of Hamath; and the exits of the border are to Sedad:

⁷ For Yah Veh your Elohim brings you into a good land - a land of wadies of water; of fountains and abysses springing from valleys and mountains; ⁸ a land of wheat and barley and vines and figs and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey; ⁹ a land wherein you eat bread without poverty and lack naught therein; a land whose stones are iron and from whose mountains you hew copper.

¹² a land Yah Veh your Elohim searched out: the eyes of Yah Veh your Elohim are continually thereon - from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year.

² In destroying, destroy all the places, wherein the goyim you possess serve their elohim - on the exalted mountains and on the hills and under every green tree: ³ and pull down their sacrifice altars and break their monoliths and burn their asherim with fire; and cut down the sculptiles of their elohim and destroy their names from that place. ⁴ But work not thus to Yah Veh your Elohim. ⁵ But to the place Yah Veh your Elohim chooses of all your scions to put his name there, seek and enter his tabernacle: ⁶ and bring your holocausts and your sacrifices and your tithes and exaltments of your hand and your vows and your voluntaries and the firstlings of your oxen and of your flocks:

¹³ Guard yourself that you not holocaust your holocausts in every place you see: ¹⁴ but in the place Yah Veh chooses in one of your scions, there you holocaust your holocausts and there you work all I misvah you.

¹⁶ Only, he abounds not horses to himself; returns not the people to Misrayim to abound horses: since Yah Veh says to you, Never again return that way.

⁵³ and you eat the fruit of your own belly - the flesh of your sons and of your daughters; whom Yah Veh your Elohim gives you in the siege and in the distress, wherewith your enemies distress you: ⁵⁴ so that the man among you - tender and mighty delicate, his eye becomes evil toward his brother and toward the woman of his bosom and toward the remnant of his sons who remain: ⁵⁵ so that he gives not one of them of the flesh of his sons whom he eats: because he has none to survive him in the siege and in the distress, wherewith your enemies distress you in all your portals. ⁵⁶ The tender and delicate among you, who tests not to set the sole of her foot on the earth because of delicateness and tenderness, her eye becomes evil toward the man of her bosom and toward her son and toward her daughter ⁵⁷ and toward her fetus coming from between her feet and toward the sons she births: for she eats them covertly for lack of all in the siege and distress, wherewith your enemies distress you in your portals.

³ And the elders of Yabesh say to him, Slacken seven days; and we send angels to all the borders of Yisra El: and if there is no man to save us, we come to you.

⁸ And he stands and calls out to the ranks of Yisra El and says to them, Why go you to line up for war? am not I a Peleshethiy and you servants to Shaul? Cut a man of yours and descend him to me: ⁹ if he is able to fight me and to smite me, then we become your servants: and if I prevail against him and smite him, then you become our servants and serve us. ¹⁰ And the Peleshethiy say, I reproach the ranks of Yisra El this day; give me a man, to fight together. ¹¹ And Shaul and all Yisra El hear the words of the Peleshethiy, and they are terrified and mighty awed.

⁴⁰ and he takes his staff in his hand and chooses five smooth stones from the wadi and sets them in the instrument of the tender he has in a pouch; and his sling is in his hand: and he draws near the Peleshethiy: ⁴¹ and in walking, the Peleshethiy walks and approaches David; and the man bearing the shield at his face. ⁴² And the Peleshethiy looks around and sees David; and he despises him: for he is a lad and ruddy and of a handsome visage. ⁴³ And the Peleshethiy says to David, Am I a dog, that you come to me with staves? - and the Peleshethiy belittles David by his elohim.

²⁷ and now this blessing which your maid brings to my adoni, may it even be given to the lads who walk at the feet of my adoni:

⁶ and David sets stations in Aram of Dammeseq: and the Aramiy become servants to David to lift offerings. And Yah Veh saves David wherever he goes.

⁹ And Toi sovereign of Hamath hears that David smites all the valiant of Hadad Ezer,

¹⁶ And Yah Ab the son of Seruyah is over the host; and Yah Shaphat the son of Achiy Lud is remembrancer; ¹⁷ and Sadoq the son of Achiy Tub and Achiy Melech the son of Abi Athar are priests; and Sera Yah is the scribe;

²⁴ and Adoni Ram is over the vassal: and Yah Shaphat the son of Achiy Lud is remembrancer: ²⁵ and Sheya is scribe: and Sadoq and Abi Athar are priests:

²⁰
THE REIGN OF SHELOMOH
Yah Hudah and Yisra El - as many as the sand by the sea in abundance eating and drinking and cheering:

²⁵ and Yah Hudah and Yisra El settle confidently every man under his vine and under his fig tree from Dan even to Beer Sheba all the days of Shelomoh:

¹⁸ He says to him, I also am a prophet as you; and an angel worded to me by the word of Yah Veh, saying, Return him with you to your house to eat bread and drink water. - and he deceived him:

¹⁰ And Ben Hadad sends to him and says, The elohim work so to me and add also, if the dust of Shomeron suffice for palmfuls for all the people at my feet.

¹⁸ And he says, If they come for shalom, apprehend them alive; and if they come for war, apprehend them alive.

²³ And the servants of the sovereign of Aram say to him, Their elohim are elohim of the mountains; therefore they prevail over us; and we fight them in the plain and prevail over them:

⁷ And so be it, the sovereign of Yisra El calls out the scroll, and he rips his clothes and says, Am I Elohim? - to deathify and to enliven? - that this man sends to me to gather a man of his leprosy? Only, perceive, I beseech, and see how he beseeches me.

¹⁵ And he returns to the man of Elohim - he and all his camp and come and stand at his face: and he says, Behold, now I know there is no Elohim in all the earth except in Yisra El: and now, I beseech you, take a blessing of your servant.

²⁵ and there is a great famine in Shomeron: and behold, they besiege it, until the head of a he burro is eighty silver and the fourth qab of dove dungs is five silver. ²⁶ And as the sovereign of Yisra El passes by on the wall, a woman cries out to him, saying, Save, my adoni, O sovereign. ²⁷ And he says, If Yah Veh saves you not, how save I you? From the threshingfloor? Or from the trough? ²⁸ And the sovereign says to her, What ails you? And she says, This woman said to me, Give your son to eat today and eat my son tomorrow: ²⁹ so we stewed my son and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, Give your son, to eat him: and she hid her son.

¹⁴ and he takes all the gold and silver and all the instruments he finds in the house of Yah Veh and in the treasures of the house of the sovereign - and sons as pledges; and returns to Shomeron.

⁴ and the sovereign of Ashshur finds conspiracy in Hoshea: for he sends angels to So the sovereign of Misrayim and holocausts no offering to the sovereign of Ashshur as year by year: and the sovereign of Ashshur restrains him and binds him in the house of prison: ⁵ and the sovereign of Ashshur ascends to all the land and ascends to Shomeron and besieges it three years. 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.

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. 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

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. ¹⁸ So Yah Veh angers mightily at Yisra El and turns them aside from his face: none survive except only, the scion of Yah Hudah: ¹⁹ Yah Hudah also guards not the misvoth of Yah Veh their Elohim but walks in the statutes Yisra El works. ²⁰ And Yah Veh refuses all the seed of Yisra El and humbles them; and gives them into the hand of plunderers until he casts them from his face: ²¹ for he rips Yisra El from the house of David; and they have Yarob Am the son of Nebat reign: and Yarob Am banishes Yisra El from going after Yah Veh and has them sin a great sin: ²² and the sons of Yisra El walk in all the sins Yarob Am works: they turn not aside from them; ²³ until Yah Veh turns Yisra El aside from his face, as he worded by the hand of all his servants the prophets: thus Yisra El is exiled from their own soil to Ashshur to this day. ²⁴
GOYIM SETTLE IN SHOMERON
And the sovereign of Ashshur brings them from Babel and from Kuth and from Avva and from Hamath and from Sepharvayim; and sets them in the cities of Shomeron in the stead of the sons of Yisra El: and they possess Shomeron and settle in the cities thereof.

⁴ he turns aside the bamahs and breaks the monoliths and cuts down the asherim and crushes the copper serpent Mosheh worked: for in those days the sons of Yisra El incensed to it: and he called it Coppery/Nechustan. ⁵ He confides in Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El; and there is none like him among all the sovereigns of Yah Hudah - neither after him nor at his face:

⁵ He confides in Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El; and there is none like him among all the sovereigns of Yah Hudah - neither after him nor at his face:

⁷ and Yah Veh is with him; he comprehends wherever he goes: and he rebels against the sovereign of Ashshur and serves him not:

⁹ And so be it, in the fourth year of sovereign Yechizqi Yah - the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah sovereign of Yisra El, Shalmaneser sovereign of Ashshur ascends against Shomeron and besieges it: ¹⁰ and at the end of three years they capture it: in the sixth year of Yechizqi Yah - in the ninth year of Hoshea sovereign of Yisra El Shomeron is captured: ¹¹ and the sovereign of Ashshur exiles Yisra El to Ashshur; and guides them in Halach and in Habor by the river Gozan; and in the cities of the Madaim: ¹² because they hearken not to the voice of Yah Veh their Elohim; but trespass his covenant; and all that Mosheh the servant of Yah Veh misvahed they neither hearken nor work them. ¹³ And in the fourteenth year of sovereign Yechizqi Yah, Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur ascends against all the cut off cities of Yah Hudah and apprehends them.

¹⁷ and the sovereign of Ashshur sends Tartan the chief eunuch and Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler from Lachish to sovereign Yechizqi Yah with heavy valiant against Yeru Shalem: and they ascend and come to Yeru Shalem: and they ascend and come and stand by the Pool Elyon in the highway of the field of the fuller:

¹⁷ and the sovereign of Ashshur sends Tartan the chief eunuch and Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler from Lachish to sovereign Yechizqi Yah with heavy valiant against Yeru Shalem: and they ascend and come to Yeru Shalem: and they ascend and come and stand by the Pool Elyon in the highway of the field of the fuller: ¹⁸ and they call to the sovereign; and El Yaqim the son of Hilqi Yah who is over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Yah Ach the son of Asaph the remembrancer go out to them. ¹⁹ And Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler says to them, Now say to Yechizqi Yah, Thus says the great sovereign the sovereign of Ashshur, What is this confidence wherein you confide? ²⁰ For you said, They are but words of lips! I have counsel and might for the war! Now on whom confide you, to rebel against me? ²¹ Now, behold, confide you on the staff of this crushed stalk - on Misrayim - on which, if a man prop, it goes into his palm and pierces? Thus is Paroh sovereign of Misrayim to all who confide on him.

²¹ Now, behold, confide you on the staff of this crushed stalk - on Misrayim - on which, if a man prop, it goes into his palm and pierces? Thus is Paroh sovereign of Misrayim to all who confide on him. ²² And if you say to me, We confide in Yah Veh our Elohim! - Is that not he, whose bamahs and whose sacrifice altars Yechizqi Yah turned aside? - Who said to Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem, Prostrate at the face of this sacrifice altar in Yeru Shalem?

²² And if you say to me, We confide in Yah Veh our Elohim! - Is that not he, whose bamahs and whose sacrifice altars Yechizqi Yah turned aside? - Who said to Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem, Prostrate at the face of this sacrifice altar in Yeru Shalem? ²³ And now, I beseech you, pledge to my adoni the sovereign of Ashshur and I give you two thousand horses if you can, for your part, give riders on them.

²³ And now, I beseech you, pledge to my adoni the sovereign of Ashshur and I give you two thousand horses if you can, for your part, give riders on them. ²⁴ How then turn you away the face of one governor of the least of the servants of my adoni to confide on Misrayim for chariots and for cavalry?

²⁴ How then turn you away the face of one governor of the least of the servants of my adoni to confide on Misrayim for chariots and for cavalry? ²⁵ Now, ascend I without Yah Veh, against this place to ruin it? Yah Veh says to me, Ascend against this land and ruin it.

²⁵ Now, ascend I without Yah Veh, against this place to ruin it? Yah Veh says to me, Ascend against this land and ruin it. ²⁶ And El Yaqim the son of Hilqi Yah and Shebna and Yah Ach say to Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler, Word, I beseech you, to your servants in Aramaic; for we hear it: and word not with us in Yah Hudaic in the ears of the people on the wall.

²⁶ And El Yaqim the son of Hilqi Yah and Shebna and Yah Ach say to Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler, Word, I beseech you, to your servants in Aramaic; for we hear it: and word not with us in Yah Hudaic in the ears of the people on the wall.

²⁶ And El Yaqim the son of Hilqi Yah and Shebna and Yah Ach say to Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler, Word, I beseech you, to your servants in Aramaic; for we hear it: and word not with us in Yah Hudaic in the ears of the people on the wall. ²⁷ And Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler says to them, My adoni, sends he me to word these words to your master and to you? - and not to the men who settle on the wall - to eat their own dungs and drink the urine at their feet with you?

²⁷ And Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler says to them, My adoni, sends he me to word these words to your master and to you? - and not to the men who settle on the wall - to eat their own dungs and drink the urine at their feet with you?

²⁷ And Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler says to them, My adoni, sends he me to word these words to your master and to you? - and not to the men who settle on the wall - to eat their own dungs and drink the urine at their feet with you? ²⁸ Then Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler stands and calls with a great voice in Yah Hudaic, and words saying, Hear the word of the great sovereign - the sovereign of Ashshur;

²⁸ Then Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler stands and calls with a great voice in Yah Hudaic, and words saying, Hear the word of the great sovereign - the sovereign of Ashshur; ²⁹ thus says the sovereign, Neither let Yechizqi Yah deceive you for he is not able to rescue you from his hand:

²⁹ thus says the sovereign, Neither let Yechizqi Yah deceive you for he is not able to rescue you from his hand: ³⁰ nor let Yechizqi Yah have you confide in Yah Veh saying, In rescuing, Yah Veh rescues us; that this city not be given into the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur:

³⁰ nor let Yechizqi Yah have you confide in Yah Veh saying, In rescuing, Yah Veh rescues us; that this city not be given into the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur: ³¹ Hearken not to Yechizqi Yah: for thus says the sovereign of Ashshur, Work a blessing with me and come out to me; and eat - every man of you of his own vine and every man of his fig tree and drink - every man of you of the waters of his well:

³¹ Hearken not to Yechizqi Yah: for thus says the sovereign of Ashshur, Work a blessing with me and come out to me; and eat - every man of you of his own vine and every man of his fig tree and drink - every man of you of the waters of his well:

³¹ Hearken not to Yechizqi Yah: for thus says the sovereign of Ashshur, Work a blessing with me and come out to me; and eat - every man of you of his own vine and every man of his fig tree and drink - every man of you of the waters of his well: ³² until I come and take you away to a land like your own land - a land of crop and juice a land of bread and vineyards a land of oil olive and of honey - to live and not die: and hearken not to Yechizqi Yah, who goads you, saying, Yah Veh rescues us.

³² until I come and take you away to a land like your own land - a land of crop and juice a land of bread and vineyards a land of oil olive and of honey - to live and not die: and hearken not to Yechizqi Yah, who goads you, saying, Yah Veh rescues us.

³² until I come and take you away to a land like your own land - a land of crop and juice a land of bread and vineyards a land of oil olive and of honey - to live and not die: and hearken not to Yechizqi Yah, who goads you, saying, Yah Veh rescues us. ³³ In rescuing, have any of the elohim of the goyim rescued a man his land from the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur?

³³ In rescuing, have any of the elohim of the goyim rescued a man his land from the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur? ³⁴ Where are the elohim of Hamath and of Arpad? Where are the elohim of Sepharvayim, Hena and Avva? Rescued they Shomeron from my hand?

³⁴ Where are the elohim of Hamath and of Arpad? Where are the elohim of Sepharvayim, Hena and Avva? Rescued they Shomeron from my hand? ³⁵ Who are they among all the elohim of the lands who rescued their land from my hand, that Yah Veh rescue Yeru Shalem from my hand?

³⁵ Who are they among all the elohim of the lands who rescued their land from my hand, that Yah Veh rescue Yeru Shalem from my hand? ³⁶ And the people hush and answer him not a word: for the misvah of the sovereign is, saying, Answer him not. ³⁷ Then El Yaqim the son of Hilqi Yah who is over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Yah Ach the son of Asaph the remembrancer, come to Yechizqi Yah with their clothes ripped and tell him the words of Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler.

³⁷ Then El Yaqim the son of Hilqi Yah who is over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Yah Ach the son of Asaph the remembrancer, come to Yechizqi Yah with their clothes ripped and tell him the words of Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler.

¹⁰ Say thus to Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, saying, Let not your Elohim in whom you confide deceive you, saying, Yeru Shalem is not given into the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur:

¹⁰ Say thus to Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, saying, Let not your Elohim in whom you confide deceive you, saying, Yeru Shalem is not given into the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur: ¹¹ behold, you heard what the sovereigns of Ashshur work to all lands by devoting them: - and you - rescued? ¹² Rescued the elohim of the goyim them whom my fathers ruined - Gozan and Haran and Reseph and the sons of Eden in Thelasar? ¹³ Where is the sovereign of Hamath and the sovereign of Arpad and the sovereign of the city of Sepharvayim - of Hena and Avva?

¹⁷ Truly, Yah Veh, the sovereigns of Ashshur desolated the goyim and their lands, ¹⁸ and gave their elohim to the fire: for they are no elohim but the work of human hands - timber and stone: and destroyed them.

²² Whom reproach you and blaspheme? Against whom exalt you your voice and lift your eyes on high? Against the Holy of Yisra El!

²² Whom reproach you and blaspheme? Against whom exalt you your voice and lift your eyes on high? Against the Holy of Yisra El! ²³ By the hand of your angels you reproach Adonay and say, With the abundance of my chariots I ascend to the height of the mountains - to the flanks of Lebanon and cut down the height of cedar trees thereof and the choice cypress trees thereof: and I enter the lodgings of his edges and the forest of his Karmel/orchard. ²⁴ I dig and drink strange waters; and with the sole of my steps I parch all the rivers of seige/Masor. ²⁵ Hear you not from afar, I worked it? And of ancient days, I formed it? And now I bring it to become waste - cut off cities into desolate heaps: ²⁶ and their settlers are short of hand terrified and shamed - as the herb of the field - as the green sprouts - as the leeks on the roofs blasted at the face of her stalks. ²⁷ And I know your settlement and your going and your coming and your quaking against me: ²⁸ because your quaking against me and your uproar ascends into my ears, I set my hook in your nostrils and my bit in your lips and I turn you back the way you came. ²⁹ And this is your sign: this year, eat of the spontaneous growth; and in the second year, of the spontaneous sprout; and in the third year, seed and harvest and plant vineyards and eat the fruits thereof: ³⁰ and the escapees of the house of Yah Hudah who survive take root downward and work fruit upward: ³¹ for survivors go from Yeru Shalem and escapees from mount Siyon: the zeal of Yah Veh Sabaoth works this. ³² So thus says Yah Veh concerning the sovereign of Ashshur: He neither comes into this city nor shoots an arrow there nor precedes it with buckler nor pours a mound against it: ³³ by the way he comes, by the same he returns; and comes not into this city - an oracle of Yah Veh: ³⁴ and I garrison this city to save it for my own sake and for sake of my servant David. ³⁵ And so be it, that night, the angel of Yah Veh goes out and smites in the camp of the Ashshuri - a hundred eighty-five thousand: and they start early in the morning, and behold, they are all dead carcases. ³⁶ And Sancherib, sovereign of Ashshur pulls stakes and goes and returns and settles at Nineveh: ³⁷ and so be it, he prostrates in the house of Nisroch his elohim. and his sons Adram Melech and Shareser smite him with the sword: and they escape into the land of Ararat: and Esar Chaddon his son reigns in his stead.

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:

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.

²⁰ And they are helped against them and the Hagariy are given into their hand with all who are with them: for they cry to Elohim in the war and intreat him; because they confide in him.

⁷ And at that time, Hanani the seer comes to Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah and says to him, Because you lean on the sovereign of Aram and lean not on Yah Veh your Elohim, so the valiant of the sovereign of Aram escapes from your hand. ⁸ Were not the Kushiy and the Lubiy an abundance of valiant, with a mighty abundance of chariots and cavalry? Yet, because you leaned on Yah Veh he gave them into your hand. ⁹ As for Yah Veh, - his eyes flit throughout the whole earth, strengthened in behalf of them whose heart is at shalom toward him. Herein you folly: from this time on you have wars.

¹⁴ And they rise and turn aside the sacrifice altars in Yeru Shalem and they turn aside all the censers and cast them into the wadi Qidron:

YISRA EL DESTROYS THE MONOLITHS, ASHERIM, AND BAMAHS
And all this is finished, all the Yisra Eliy they find go to the cities of Yah Hudah and break the monoliths and cut down the asherim and pull down the bamahs and the sacrifice altars from all Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin and in Ephrayim and Menash Sheh until they finish them off: and all the sons of Yisra El return, every man to his possession, to their own cities.

THE SOVEREIGN OF ASHSHUR ENCAMPS AGAINST YERU SHALEM
After these words and this truth, Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur comes and enters Yah Hudah and encamps against the cut off cities; and says to split them for himself:

⁷ Strengthen! Encourage! Neither awe nor terrify at the face of the sovereign of Ashshur or at the face of all the multitude with him: for there are greater with us than with him:

⁷ Strengthen! Encourage! Neither awe nor terrify at the face of the sovereign of Ashshur or at the face of all the multitude with him: for there are greater with us than with him: ⁸ with him - an arm of flesh; and with us - Yah Veh our Elohim to help us and to fight our wars. And the people prop on the words of Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah.

⁸ with him - an arm of flesh; and with us - Yah Veh our Elohim to help us and to fight our wars. And the people prop on the words of Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah. ⁹ After this, Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur sends his servants to Yeru Shalem; - and he is by Lachish with all his reign against Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah and against all Yah Hudah at Yeru Shalem, saying,

⁹ After this, Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur sends his servants to Yeru Shalem; - and he is by Lachish with all his reign against Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah and against all Yah Hudah at Yeru Shalem, saying, ¹⁰ Thus says Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur, Whereon confide you that you settle in the siege in Yeru Shalem?

¹⁰ Thus says Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur, Whereon confide you that you settle in the siege in Yeru Shalem? ¹¹ Yechizqi Yah - goads he not you to give yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Yah Veh our Elohim rescues us from the palm of the sovereign of Ashshur?

¹¹ Yechizqi Yah - goads he not you to give yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Yah Veh our Elohim rescues us from the palm of the sovereign of Ashshur? ¹² Yechizqi Yah himself, turns he not aside his bamahs and his sacrifice altars and says to Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem, saying, Worship at the face of one sacrifice altar and incense thereon?

¹² Yechizqi Yah himself, turns he not aside his bamahs and his sacrifice altars and says to Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem, saying, Worship at the face of one sacrifice altar and incense thereon? ¹³ Know you not what I and my fathers work to all the people of other lands? The elohim of the goyim of those lands are they able to rescue their lands from my hand?

¹³ Know you not what I and my fathers work to all the people of other lands? The elohim of the goyim of those lands are they able to rescue their lands from my hand?

¹³ Know you not what I and my fathers work to all the people of other lands? The elohim of the goyim of those lands are they able to rescue their lands from my hand? ¹⁴ Among all the elohim of those goyim my fathers devoted, who is able rescue his people from my hand - that your Elohim is able to rescue you from my hand?

¹⁴ Among all the elohim of those goyim my fathers devoted, who is able rescue his people from my hand - that your Elohim is able to rescue you from my hand?

¹⁴ Among all the elohim of those goyim my fathers devoted, who is able rescue his people from my hand - that your Elohim is able to rescue you from my hand?

¹⁴ Among all the elohim of those goyim my fathers devoted, who is able rescue his people from my hand - that your Elohim is able to rescue you from my hand? ¹⁵ And now neither may Yechizqi Yah deceive you, nor goad you thus, nor yet trust him: for no elohah of any goyim or sovereigndom is able to rescue his people from my hand and from the hand of my fathers: neither your Elohim rescues you from my hand.

¹⁵ And now neither may Yechizqi Yah deceive you, nor goad you thus, nor yet trust him: for no elohah of any goyim or sovereigndom is able to rescue his people from my hand and from the hand of my fathers: neither your Elohim rescues you from my hand.

¹⁵ And now neither may Yechizqi Yah deceive you, nor goad you thus, nor yet trust him: for no elohah of any goyim or sovereigndom is able to rescue his people from my hand and from the hand of my fathers: neither your Elohim rescues you from my hand.

¹⁵ And now neither may Yechizqi Yah deceive you, nor goad you thus, nor yet trust him: for no elohah of any goyim or sovereigndom is able to rescue his people from my hand and from the hand of my fathers: neither your Elohim rescues you from my hand.

¹⁵ And now neither may Yechizqi Yah deceive you, nor goad you thus, nor yet trust him: for no elohah of any goyim or sovereigndom is able to rescue his people from my hand and from the hand of my fathers: neither your Elohim rescues you from my hand. ¹⁶ And his servants still word against Yah Veh Elohim and against his servant Yechizqi Yah:

¹⁶ And his servants still word against Yah Veh Elohim and against his servant Yechizqi Yah:

¹⁶ And his servants still word against Yah Veh Elohim and against his servant Yechizqi Yah:

¹⁶ And his servants still word against Yah Veh Elohim and against his servant Yechizqi Yah: ¹⁷ and he inscribes scrolls to reproach Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El to say against him, saying, As the elohim of the goyim of other lands have not rescued their people from my hand, thus Elohim of Yechizqi Yah rescues not his people from my hand.

¹⁷ and he inscribes scrolls to reproach Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El to say against him, saying, As the elohim of the goyim of other lands have not rescued their people from my hand, thus Elohim of Yechizqi Yah rescues not his people from my hand.

¹⁷ and he inscribes scrolls to reproach Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El to say against him, saying, As the elohim of the goyim of other lands have not rescued their people from my hand, thus Elohim of Yechizqi Yah rescues not his people from my hand. ¹⁸ And they call out with a great voice in Yah Hudahaic to the people of Yeru Shalem on the wall - to awe them and to terrify them; and to capture the city:

¹⁸ And they call out with a great voice in Yah Hudahaic to the people of Yeru Shalem on the wall - to awe them and to terrify them; and to capture the city:

¹⁸ And they call out with a great voice in Yah Hudahaic to the people of Yeru Shalem on the wall - to awe them and to terrify them; and to capture the city: ¹⁹ and they word against the Elohim of Yeru Shalem as against the elohim of the people of the earth - the work of the hands of hamuanity.

¹⁹ and they word against the Elohim of Yeru Shalem as against the elohim of the people of the earth - the work of the hands of hamuanity.

¹⁹ and they word against the Elohim of Yeru Shalem as against the elohim of the people of the earth - the work of the hands of hamuanity. ²⁰ And Yechizqi Yah the sovereign and the prophet Yesha Yah the son of Amos pray and cry to the heavens: ²¹ and Yah Veh sends an angel who cuts off all the mighty of valour and the eminent and governors in the camp of the sovereign of Ashshur: and he returns with shamed face to his own land. And he comes to the house of his elohim; and the offspring of his inwards fell him there with the sword: ²² and Yah Veh saves Yechizqi Yah and the settlers of Yeru Shalem from the hand of Sancherib the sovereign of Ashshur and from the hand of all others; and guides them all around. ²³ And many bring offerings to Yah Veh to Yeru Shalem; and preciousnesses to Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah: so that he is lifted in the eyes of all goyim thereafter.

²¹ And he sends angels to him, saying, What have I to do with you, sovereign of Yah Hudah? - not against you this day but I war against the house: for Elohim says to me to hasten! Cease from Elohim who is with me that he not ruin you.

⁷ and in the days of Artach Shashta Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabe El and the survivors of their colleagues inscribe to Artach Shashta sovereign of Persia: and the inscribing of the epistle is inscribed in Aramaic and translated in Aramaic.

³ And I hear this word and I rip my clothes and my mantle and balden the hair of my head and of my beard, and sit down astonished.

¹⁹ And Sanballat the Horoniy and Tobi Yah the servant the Ammoniy and Geshem the Arabiy hear; and they deride us and despise us and say, What is this word you work? Rebel you against the sovereign? ²⁰ And I return word and say to them, The Elohim of the heavens - he prospers us; and we his servants rise and build: but you have neither allotment, nor justness, nor memorial in Yeru Shalem.

² and he says at the face of his brothers and the men of valour of Shomeron, and says, What work these languid Yah Hudiym? Forsake they to themselves? Sacrifice they? Finish they in a day? Enliven they the stones from the heaps of the dust that are burnt? ³ And Tobi Yah the Ammoniy is by him, and he says, Whatever they build, if a fox ascends, even he splits their stone wall. ⁴ Hear, O our Elohim; for we are disrespected: turn their reproach on their own head and give them for plunder in the land of captivity: ⁵ and neither cover their perversity nor wipe away their sin from your face: for they vex you in front of the builders.

²⁵ he spreads his hand against El and prevails mightily against Shadday. ²⁶ He runs on him - on his neck - on the thick bosses of his shields;

¹⁷ he sees not the rivulets, the floods, the wadies of honey and butter.

⁹ Have you an arm like El? Thunder with a voice like him? ¹⁰ I beseech, adorn yourself with pomp and loftiness; enrobe yourself with majesty and honor; ¹¹ scatter the fury of your wrath; see everyone who is pompous and abase him; ¹² see everyone who is pompous and subdue him; and trample the wicked in their place:

² O you sons of men, until when is my honor for shame - you who love vanity and seek after lies? Selah.

⁴ who say, With our tongue we prevail mightily; our lips are our own; who is adoni over us?

¹⁰ They shut their fat; their mouth words pompously: ¹¹ they surround our steps; they set their eyes spreading to the earth: ¹² as as a lion yearning for his prey - as a whelp settling in the coverts. ¹³ Rise, O Yah Veh, anticipate his face; knuckle him under: slip my soul from the wicked by your sword

⁷ - some in chariots - some in horses; and we remember the name of Yah Veh our Elohim. ⁸ They - they knuckle under and fall; and we rise restored.

⁴ Our fathers confided in you - they confided and you slipped them away: ⁵ they cried to you and escaped; they confided in you and shamed not.

⁷ All who see me deride me; they bust out the lip, they shake the head, ⁸ saying, Roll on Yah Veh! He rescues him! He slips him away, seeing he delights in him!

¹³ And I, as deaf, hear not - as a mute who opens not his mouth ¹⁴ - as a man who hears not whose mouth reproofs not. ¹⁵ For in you, O Yah Veh, I await; answer, O Adonay my Elohim.

¹ To His Eminence; Yeduthun/A Laudatory; A Psalm by David. I say, I guard my ways from sinning with my tongue; I guard my mouth with a muzzle while the wicked is ere in front of me.

³ My tears are my bread day and night, while all day they say to me, Where is your Elohim?

⁵ Why prostrate, O my soul? Why roar within me? Await Elohim; for I still spread hands to him for the salvation of his face.

¹⁰ With murder in my bones, my tribulators reproach me; all day they say to me, Where is your Elohim?

¹⁰ With murder in my bones, my tribulators reproach me; all day they say to me, Where is your Elohim? ¹¹ Why prostrate, O my soul? Why roar within me? Hope in Elohim; for I spread hands to him - the salvation of my face and my Elohim.

²¹ These you work, and I hush; you equate that I become as your; but I reprove you and line them up at your eyes.

⁹ Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my force finishes off. ¹⁰ For my enemies say against me; and they who guard for my soul counsel together, ¹¹ saying, Elohim forsook him; pursue and grab him: for there is no one to rescue.

⁸ they blaspheme and word evil concerning oppression; they word loftily: ⁹ they set their mouth against the heavens and their tongue walks through the earth.

⁹ they set their mouth against the heavens and their tongue walks through the earth.

⁶ I - I have said, You are elohim; - and sons of Elyon, all of you; ⁷ you die as humanity and fall as one of the governors.

⁵ O Yah Veh, how your works greaten! How mightily your fabrications deepen! ⁶ Neither the stupid man knows; nor the fool discerns this: ⁷ when the wicked blossom as the herbage and when all the doers of mischief flourish to be desolated eternally.

² Why say the goyim, Where I beseech, is their Elohim? ³ Our Elohim is in the heavens; he works whatever he desires. ⁴ Their idols are silver and gold the work of human hands: ⁵ mouths have they, but they word not; eyes have they, but they see not; ⁶ ears have they, but they hear not; nostrils have they, but they scent not; ⁷ hands have they, but they touch not; feet have they, but they walk not; they mutter not through their throat. ⁸ They who work them are like them; thus is every one who confides in them.

³ Grant us charism, O Yah Veh, grant us charism; for we abundantly satiate with disrespectsake ⁴ our soul abundantly satiates with the derision of them who relax - with the disrespect of the pompous.

⁵ For I know that Yah Veh is great and that our Adonay is above all elohim. ⁶ Yah Veh works whatever he desires in the heavens and in earth in the seas and all abysses:

¹⁵ The idols of the goyim are silver and gold - the work of human hands: ¹⁶ mouths, and they word not; eyes, and they see not; ¹⁷ ears, and they hearken not; nose, and their is no spirit/wind in their mouth. ¹⁸ They who work them are likened to them; thus every one who confides in them.

¹⁵ Drink waters from your own well and flowings from your own well:

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:

¹⁰ The just knows the soul of his animal; and the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

¹⁸ Pomp is at the face of the breech and a lifted spirit is at the face of the stumble.

³⁰ There is neither wisdom nor discernment nor counsel against Yah Veh. ³¹ The horse is prepared against the day of war; and salvation is of Yah Veh.

³¹ The horse is prepared against the day of war; and salvation is of Yah Veh.

⁵ The wise are mighty in strength; yes, a man of knowledge strengthens force. ⁶ For by counsels, you work war; and in abundance of counsellors, there is salvation.

⁴ Answer not a fool according to his folly lest you also be likened to him - even you;

⁷ Your land, a desolation; your cities, burned with fire: your soil, strangers devour in your presence - a desolation overthrown by strangers. ⁸ And the daughter of Siyon remains as a sukkoth/brush arbor in a vineyard - as a hammock in a cucumber field - as a guarded city.

³ Then Yah Veh says to Yesha Yah, Go, I beseech, to meet Ach Az - you and Shear Yashub your son, at the end of the channel of the most high pool in the highway of the field of the fuller;

¹⁷ Yah Veh brings upon you and upon your people and upon the house of your father, days such as came not - even from the day Ephrayim turned aside from Yah Hudah by the sovereign of Ashshur.

⁷ so, behold, Adonay ascends upon them the waters of the river, mighty and many, the sovereign of Ashshur and all his honor: and he ascends over all his reservoirs and goes over all his banks:

⁷ so, behold, Adonay ascends upon them the waters of the river, mighty and many, the sovereign of Ashshur and all his honor: and he ascends over all his reservoirs and goes over all his banks: ⁸ and he passes through Yah Hudah; he overflows and passes over; he touches to the neck: and the spreading of his wings fills the breadth of your land, O Immanu El.

²⁰ And on the right, he cuts and famishes; and on the left, he eats and satiates not: every man eats the flesh of his own arm

⁵ Ho, Ashshuri, the scion of my wrath; and the rod in their hand, my rage: ⁶ I send him against a goyim of profaners and against the people of my wrath; I misvah him to take the spoil and to plunder the plunder; and to set them for trampling as the heap of the outways: ⁷ and he - he neither considers thus, nor fabricates his heart thus; but in his heart is to desolate and cut off goyim not a few. ⁸ - for he says, Are not my governors altogether sovereigns?

⁸ - for he says, Are not my governors altogether sovereigns?

⁸ - for he says, Are not my governors altogether sovereigns? ⁹ Is not Kalneh as Karchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Shomeron as Dammeseq?

⁹ Is not Kalneh as Karchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Shomeron as Dammeseq?

⁹ Is not Kalneh as Karchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Shomeron as Dammeseq? ¹⁰ As my hand found the sovereigndoms of the idol, and their sculptiles of Yeru Shalem and Shomeron;

¹⁰ As my hand found the sovereigndoms of the idol, and their sculptiles of Yeru Shalem and Shomeron;

¹⁰ As my hand found the sovereigndoms of the idol, and their sculptiles of Yeru Shalem and Shomeron; ¹¹ Work I not as I worked to Shomeron and her idols? Work thus to Yeru Shalem and her idols?

¹¹ Work I not as I worked to Shomeron and her idols? Work thus to Yeru Shalem and her idols?

¹¹ Work I not as I worked to Shomeron and her idols? Work thus to Yeru Shalem and her idols? ¹² And so be it, when Adonay clips his whole work on mount Siyon and on Yeru Shalem, I visit upon the fruit of the greatness of heart of the sovereign of Ashshur and the adornment of his haughty eyes.

¹² And so be it, when Adonay clips his whole work on mount Siyon and on Yeru Shalem, I visit upon the fruit of the greatness of heart of the sovereign of Ashshur and the adornment of his haughty eyes. ¹³ For he said, By the force of my hand, I worked; and by my wisdom, I discerned: and I turned aside the borders of the people and plundered their treasures; and I brought down the settlers as the mighty:

¹³ For he said, By the force of my hand, I worked; and by my wisdom, I discerned: and I turned aside the borders of the people and plundered their treasures; and I brought down the settlers as the mighty: ¹⁴ and my hand found, as a nest, the valuables of the people: and as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth; and no one flapped the wing or gaped the mouth or chirped.

²⁸ He comes to Ayath; he passes to Migron; he musters his instruments at Michmash: ²⁹ they pass over the passage: they take up their lodging at Geba; Ramah trembles; Gibah of Shaul flees. ³⁰ Resound your voice, O daughter of heaps! Hearken, O Laish! Humble, O Anathoth! ³¹ Madmenah flees; the settlers of the way of the dugouts withdraw. ³² As yet he stands that day at Nob: the mount of Bath Siyon, the hill of Yeru Shalem shakes his hand.

⁵ - and they terrify and shame of Kush their expectation and of Misrayim their adornment.

⁵ - and they terrify and shame of Kush their expectation and of Misrayim their adornment. ⁶ And the settler of this island says in that day, Behold, is our expectation thus? Where flee we for help to be rescued at the face of the sovereign of Ashshur? And how escape we?

⁹ you also see the fissures of the city of David abounding by the myriads: and you gather together the waters of the nether pool: ¹⁰ and you scribe the houses of Yeru Shalem and you pull down the houses to fortify the wall: ¹¹ and you work a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool: and you neither look to the worker, nor see to him who formed it in the distant past.

¹⁵ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth, Go, get you to this useful one - to Shebna who is over the house, ¹⁶ What - to you here, and who - to you here, that you hew a tomb here, as one who hews a tomb on high and engraves a tabernacle for himself in a rock? 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: ¹⁹ and I exile you from your station, and he breaks you from your function. ²⁰ And so be it, in that day, I call my servant El Yaqim the son of Hilqi Yah: ²¹ and I enrobe him with your coat and strengthen him with your girdle and I give your reign into his hand: and he becomes a father to the settlers of Yeru Shalem and to the house of Yah Hudah:

HO TO THE REVOLTING SONS
Ho to the revolting sons - an oracle of Yah Veh who work counsel, but not mine; and who pour a pouring, but not of my spirit, who scrape up sin to sin: ² who walk to descend into Misrayim, and ask not at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the stronghold of Paroh, and to seek refuge in the shadow of Misrayim!

² who walk to descend into Misrayim, and ask not at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the stronghold of Paroh, and to seek refuge in the shadow of Misrayim! ³ So the stronghold of Paroh becomes your shame; and the trust in the shadow of Misrayim your shame.

³ So the stronghold of Paroh becomes your shame; and the trust in the shadow of Misrayim your shame. ⁴ For his governors were at Soan and his angels touched Hanes:

⁴ For his governors were at Soan and his angels touched Hanes: ⁵ they all shame by a people who benefit them not - neither a help nor benefit - but for shame and also for reproach.

⁵ they all shame by a people who benefit them not - neither a help nor benefit - but for shame and also for reproach. ⁶
THE BURDEN OF THE ANIMALS OF THE SOUTH
The burden of the animals of the south: Into the land of tribulation and distress from whence the roaring lion and the old lion, the hisser and flying seraph - who bear their valuables on the shoulders of colts and their treasures on the humps of camels to a people who benefit them not. ⁷ Yes, the Misrayim are vanity and help in vain: so concerning this, I call out, Their pride is to shabbathize!

⁷ Yes, the Misrayim are vanity and help in vain: so concerning this, I call out, Their pride is to shabbathize!

¹⁶ But you say, No; for we flee upon horses! - so you, flee: and, We ride upon the swift! - so your pursuers are swift. ¹⁷ One thousand at the face of the rebuke of one; at the face of the rebuke of five you flee: until you remain as a mast on the top of a mountain and as an ensign on a hill.

³ And the Misrayim are human, and not El; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When Yah Veh spreads his hand the helper falters and the helped falls and they all finish together.

⁷ Behold, their heros cry outwardly; the angels of shalom weep bitterly;

⁷ Behold, their heros cry outwardly; the angels of shalom weep bitterly; ⁸ the highways lie desolate; the passers of the way shabbathize: he breaks the covenant; he spurns the cities; he fabricates no man.

³ Then El Yaqim the son of Hilqi Yah who is over the house comes to him, with Shebna the scribe, and Yah Ach the son of Asaph the memorializer. ⁴ And Rab Shaqeh says to them, You, say, I beseech, to Yechizqi Yah, Thus says the great sovereign - the sovereign of Ashshur, What is this confidence wherein you confide?

⁶ Behold, you confide in the crutch of this crushed stalk - on Misrayim; whereon, if a man props, it goes into his palm, and pierces: thus is Paroh sovereign of Misrayim to all who confide in him. ⁷ And if you say to me, We confide in Yah Veh our Elohim! - is it not he, whose bamahs and whose sacrifice altars Yechizqi Yah turned aside, and said to Yah Hudah and to Yeru Shalem, Prostrate you at the face of this sacrifice altar?

¹⁰ And now ascend I without Yah Veh against this land to ruin it? Yah Veh said to me, Ascend against this land, and ruin it. ¹¹ And El Yaqim and Shebna and Yah Ach say to Rab Shaqeh, Word, I beseech you, to your servants in Aramaic; for we hear: and word not to us in Yah Hudaic, in the ears of the people on the wall.

¹⁵ nor let Yechizqi Yah have you confide in Yah Veh, saying, In rescuing, Yah Veh rescues us. This city is not given into the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur.

¹ And so be it, when sovereign Yechizqi Yah hears, he rips his clothes and covers himself with saq, and goes into the house of Yah Veh. ² And he sends El Yaqim who is over the household, and Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests covered with saq, to Yesha Yah the prophet the son of Amos:

¹⁰ You, say thus to Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, saying, Let not your Elohim, in whom you confide, deceive you, saying, Yeru Shalem is not given into the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur.

¹⁰ You, say thus to Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, saying, Let not your Elohim, in whom you confide, deceive you, saying, Yeru Shalem is not given into the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur. ¹¹ Behold, you heard what the sovereigns of Ashshur worked to all lands by devoting them - and rescue you?

¹¹ Behold, you heard what the sovereigns of Ashshur worked to all lands by devoting them - and rescue you? ¹² The elohim of the goyim whom my fathers ruined - Gozan and Haran and Reseph and the sons of Eden which were in Telassar - rescued they them?

¹² The elohim of the goyim whom my fathers ruined - Gozan and Haran and Reseph and the sons of Eden which were in Telassar - rescued they them? ¹³ Where is the sovereign of Hamath? And the sovereign of Arphad? And the sovereign of the city of Sepharvayim, Hena, and Avvah?

¹³ Where is the sovereign of Hamath? And the sovereign of Arphad? And the sovereign of the city of Sepharvayim, Hena, and Avvah? ¹⁴ And Yechizqi Yah takes the scroll from the hand of the angels, and calls it out: and Yechizqi Yah ascends to the house of Yah Veh and spreads it at the face of Yah Veh: ¹⁵ and Yechizqi Yah prays to Yah Veh, saying,

¹⁷ spread your ear, O Yah Veh, and hear; open your eyes, O Yah Veh, and see: and hear all the words of Sancherib, who sent to reproach the living Elohim. ¹⁸ Truly, O Yah Veh, the sovereigns of Ashshur parched all the lands, and their lands;

¹⁸ Truly, O Yah Veh, the sovereigns of Ashshur parched all the lands, and their lands; ¹⁹ and gave their elohim into the fire: for they are no elohim - only the work of human hands, timber and stone: they destroyed them.

²³ Whom reproach you? And blaspheme? And against whom exalt you your voice? And lift your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Yisra El!

²³ Whom reproach you? And blaspheme? And against whom exalt you your voice? And lift your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Yisra El! ²⁴ By the hand of your servants you reproach Adonay, and say, By the abundance of my chariots I ascend to the height of the mountains - to the flanks of Lebanon; and I cut down the height of the cedars and the choice fir trees: and I enter the height of his edge and the forest of his Karmel/orchard:

²⁴ By the hand of your servants you reproach Adonay, and say, By the abundance of my chariots I ascend to the height of the mountains - to the flanks of Lebanon; and I cut down the height of the cedars and the choice fir trees: and I enter the height of his edge and the forest of his Karmel/orchard: ²⁵ I dig and drink water; and with the sole of my steps I parch all the rivers of the rampart. ²⁶ Heard you not in the distant past, that I worked it? Of ancient days, that I formed it? now I bring it to become, for you to waste fortified cities into desolate heaps. ²⁷ And their settlers are short handed - dismayed and shamed - as the herbage of the field and as the green sprouts; as the grass on the roofs and as the field at the face of the stalks. ²⁸ And I know your sitting and your coming and your going; and your quaking against me:

²⁸ And I know your sitting and your coming and your going; and your quaking against me: ²⁹ because of your quaking against me your uproar ascends into my ears: I set my hook in your nostrils and my bit in your lips; and I turn you back by the way you came.

¹⁶ They shame; they even confound - all of them: the engravers of molds go to shame together. ¹⁷ Yisra El is saved in Yah Veh with an eternal salvation: you neither shame nor confound to the eternal ages.

³⁶ Why gad you about so mightily to change your way? Even of Misrayim, you shame as you shamed of Ashshur.

³ for the statutes of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree from the forest - the work of the hands of the engraver with the ax: ⁴ they beautify with silver and with gold; they strengthen with nails and with hammers so that it wiggles not: ⁵ round as the palm tree, but word not: in bearing, they bear, because they pace not. Awe them not, for they vilify not; yes, it is not in them to well-please.

¹⁰ And Yah Veh is the Elohim of truth; he is the living Elohim and eternal sovereign: the earth quakes at his rage and the goyim contain not his rage. ¹¹ Thus you say to them, The elah who made not the heavens and the earth destructs from the earth and from under these heavens. ¹² He worked the earth by his force; he established the world by his wisdom; and spread the heavens by his discernment.

⁹ And I feed them the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters; and every man eats the flesh of his friend in the siege and distress, whereby their enemies and they seeking their souls, distress them.

⁵ And the valiant of Paroh come from Misrayim: and the Kesediym besieging Yeru Shalem hear their report; and they ascend from Yeru Shalem. ⁶ And so be the word of Yah Veh to the prophet Yirme Yah, saying, ⁷ Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: Say thus to the sovereign of Yah Hudah, who sent you to me to enquire of me: Behold, the valiant of Paroh who come to help you return to Misrayim into their own land: ⁸ and the Kesediym return and fight against this city and capture it and burn it with fire.

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.

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.

⁹ Those pierced with the sword are better than those pierced with famine; for they flow away stabbed because of the produce of the field. ¹⁰ The hands of the mercied women stew their own children; they chew them in the breech of the daughter of my people.

¹⁶ And he says to me, Son of humanity, behold, I break the rod of bread in Yeru Shalem: and they eat bread by weight, and with concern; and they drink water by measure, and with astonishment:

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?

⁶ and all the settlers of Misrayim know I - Yah Veh, because of their being a stalk of support to the house of Yisra El. ⁷ They apprehend you by your palm; you crush and split all their shoulder: and when they lean on you, you break and shake all their loins.

³ Behold, the Ashshuri, a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches with an overshadowing forest and high in height; with his foliage among the thick foliage:

³ Behold, the Ashshuri, a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches with an overshadowing forest and high in height; with his foliage among the thick foliage: ⁴ the waters greaten him; the abyss lifts him; and her rivers pass all around his plants and send her channels to all the trees of the field.

⁴ the waters greaten him; the abyss lifts him; and her rivers pass all around his plants and send her channels to all the trees of the field. ⁵ So his height heightens above all the trees of the field; and his twigs greaten and his foliage lengthens because of the abundance of waters when he spreads forth:

⁵ So his height heightens above all the trees of the field; and his twigs greaten and his foliage lengthens because of the abundance of waters when he spreads forth: ⁶ all the flyers of the heavens nest in his twigs and under his foliage all the live beings of the field birth their young; and all the great goyim settle under his shadow:

⁶ all the flyers of the heavens nest in his twigs and under his foliage all the live beings of the field birth their young; and all the great goyim settle under his shadow: ⁷ and he beautifies in his greatness - in the length of his branches: and so be his root by great waters:

⁷ and he beautifies in his greatness - in the length of his branches: and so be his root by great waters: ⁸ the cedars in the garden of Elohim shade him not: neither are the fir trees like his twigs; nor the chesnut trees like his foliage; nor any tree in the garden of Elohim like him in his beauty:

⁸ the cedars in the garden of Elohim shade him not: neither are the fir trees like his twigs; nor the chesnut trees like his foliage; nor any tree in the garden of Elohim like him in his beauty: ⁹ I worked him beautiful in the abundance of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden in the garden of Elohim envy him.

⁹ I worked him beautiful in the abundance of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden in the garden of Elohim envy him. ¹⁰ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you heighten in height, and he gives his foliage among the thick foliage and lifts his heart in height;

¹⁰ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you heighten in height, and he gives his foliage among the thick foliage and lifts his heart in height; ¹¹ so I give him into the hand of the el of the goyim; in working, he works with him: I drive him out for his wickedness: ¹² and strangers, the tyrants of the goyim, cut him off and abandon him: his branches fall on the mountains and in all the valleys; and his foliage breaks by all the reservoirs of the earth; and all the people of the earth descend from his shadow and abandon him: ¹³ all the flyers of the heavens, tabernacle on his ruin; and all the live beings of the field are on his foliage: ¹⁴ so that none of all the trees by the waters heighten themselves in height; neither give their foliage among the thick foliage nor their mighty oaks stand in their height - all drinking waters: for they are all given to death; to the nethermost of the earth midst the sons of humanity, who descend with them to the well. ¹⁵ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: In the day he descends to sheol I cause a mourning; I cover the abyss for him: and I withhold the rivers and stay the great waters: and I darken Lebanon for him and all the trees of the field languish for him: ¹⁶ I quake the goyim at the voice of his ruin when I bring him down to sheol with them who descend into the well: and all the trees of Eden - the choice and best of Lebanon - all who drink water sigh in the nethermost of the earth: ¹⁷ they also descend into sheol with him to the pierced with the sword; and settles his arm under his shadow midst the goyim. ¹⁸ To whom are you thus likened in honor and in greatness among the trees of Eden? Yet I bring you down with the trees of Eden to the nethermost of the earth: to lie among the uncircumcised with the pierced by the sword - thus is Paroh and all his multitude - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

⁴ And the Kesediym word to the sovereign in Aramaic, O sovereign, live eternally: say the dream to your servants and we show the interpretation.

¹⁵ Now behold, if you are prepared, at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery and symphonia and all species of psalming, you fall down and prostrate to the image I made - and behold, if you prostrate not, at that same blink you are hurled midst a burning fiery furnace! Who is that Elah who liberates you from my hands?

¹⁵ Now behold, if you are prepared, at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery and symphonia and all species of psalming, you fall down and prostrate to the image I made - and behold, if you prostrate not, at that same blink you are hurled midst a burning fiery furnace! Who is that Elah who liberates you from my hands? ¹⁶ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed Nego answer and say to the sovereign, O Nebukadnets Tsar, we need not respond to you in this decision: ¹⁷ and so be it, our Elah whom we serve is able to liberate us from the burning fiery furnace, and liberate us from your hand, O sovereign.

³⁰ the sovereign answers and says, Is not this great Babel, which I built, for the house of the sovereigndom by the empowerment of my power, and for the esteem of my majesty?

³⁷ Now I, Nebukadnets Tsar, laud and exalt and esteem the Sovereign of the heavens all whose acts are truth, and his ways plead: and they who walk in arrogance, he is able to abase.

²⁰ and he approaches the dugout and with a contorted voice, cries to Dani El: and the sovereign answers and says to Dani El, O Dani El, servant of the living Elah, is your Elah, whom you serve continually, able to liberate you from the lions?

²⁵ and he utters utterances concerning the Elyon and wears out the holy of Elyon; and wills to change appointments and decrees: and they are given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

⁶ Blasts a shophar in the city and the people tremble not? Becomes there evil in a city and Yah Veh worked it not?

¹³ So, in that time, the comprehending keep still; for it is an evil time.

⁴ and every man sits under his vine and under his fig tree; and no one trembles them: for the mouth of Yah Veh Sabaoth has worded.

¹⁹ Ho to him who says to the timber, Waken! - to the silent stone, Waken! It teaches! Behold, it is manipulated with gold and silver, and there is no spirit at all in its midst. ²⁰ And Yah Veh is in his holy manse: silence at his face, all the earth.

¹⁰ In that day, - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth you, have every man call his friend under the vine and under the fig tree.

⁶
GIVING, ASKING, SEEKING, AND KNOCKING
Neither give the holy to the hounds nor cast you your pearls in front of swine; lest ever they trample them at their feet and turn and rip you apart.

⁶⁵ Then the archpriest rips his clothes, wording, He blasphemes! What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now you heard his blasphemy!

⁴³ He confides in Elohim; have him rescue him now - if he wills: for he says, I am the Son of Elohim.

²² And the public shouts, The voice of an el and not of a human! ²³ And immediately an angel of Yah Veh smites him because he gives not Elohim the glory: and he becomes eaten of maggots and expires:

¹⁵ But whoever is spiritual, indeed judges all; yet he himself is judged by no one.

⁵ So I deemed it necessary to beseech the brothers to precede to you and pre-prepare your eulogy, whereof you were pre-evangelized - to prepare the same thus, as a eulogy - and not exactly as of avarice.

⁴ - the adversary who superciliously exalts himself above all that is worded Elohim, or that is venerated - so that he, as Elohim, sits in the nave of Elohim, shewing himself to be Elohim.

¹⁶ These are murmurers - fatalists walking after their own pantings; and their mouth speaking overbulgings; marveling over faces to benefit.

THE BEAST WARS WITH THE HOLY
And he is given a mouth speaking mega and blasphemies; and he is given authority to deal forty-two months. ⁶ And he opens his mouth in blasphemy against Elohim - to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and them who tabernacle in the heavens.
