YISRA EL ABANDONS YAH VEH
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ² Go and call out in the ears of Yeru Shalem, saying, Thus says Yah Veh, I remember you; the mercy of your youth, the love of your betrothals - your going after me in the wilderness in a land not seeded. ³ Yisra El is holiness to Yah Veh and the firstlings of his produce: all who devour him guilt; evil comes on them, says Yah Veh. ⁴ You, hear the word of Yah Veh, O house of Yaaqov, and all the families of the house of Yisra El: ⁵ thus says Yah Veh, What wickedness found your fathers in me, that they removed afar from me and walked after vanity and became vain? ⁶ And said not, Where is Yah Veh who ascended us from the land of Misrayim? Who carried us through the wilderness - a land of plains and of chasms - a land of parch and of the shadow of death - a land where no man passed through and where no human settled? ⁷ And I bring you into a land of orchards/Karmel to eat the fruit and the goodness; and you enter and foul my land and set my inheritance an abhorrence. ⁸ The priests say not, Where is Yah Veh? and they who manipulate the torah know me not and the tenders rebel against me; and the prophets prophesy by Baal and walk after those who benefit not. ⁹ So I still plead with you, says Yah Veh - an oracle of Yah Veh and with the sons of your sons, I plead. ¹⁰ For pass over the islands of Kittim, and see; and send to Qedar, and discern mightily; and see if there be such. ¹¹ Changes a goyim their elohim to a non-elohim? and my people change their honor for that which benefits not. ¹² Astonish, O you heavens, at this, and shutter; parch mightily, says Yah Veh. ¹³ For my people work two evils: they forsake me, the fountain of living waters; and hew wells - broken wells that hold no water. ¹⁴ Is Yisra El a servant? Is he house birthed? Why is he for a plunder? ¹⁵ The whelps roar on him; they give their voice; and they place his land desolate: his cities burn without settler. ¹⁶ Also the sons of Noph and Tachpanches graze your scalp. ¹⁷ Worked you not this to yourself - in that you forsook Yah Veh your Elohim the time he carried you by the way? ¹⁸ And now what is it to you in the way of Misrayim to drink the waters of Shichor? Or what is it to you in the way of Ashshur to drink the waters of the river? ¹⁹ Your own evil disciplines you and your own apostasies reprove you: so know and see that it is evil and bitter to forsake Yah Veh your Elohim, and that my fear is not in you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth. ²⁰ For from eternal time I broke your yoke and tore your bonds; and you say, I serve not! when on every high hill and under every green tree you stroll, whoring. ²¹ Yet I planted you, choice, wholly a seed of truth: how then turn you on me - into the twisted plant of a strange vine? ²² But though you launder yourself with nitre, and abound with soap, yet your perversity is inscribed at my face - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. ²³ How say you, I am not fouled: I go not after Baalim? See your way in the valley; know what you worked - a swift dromedary entangling her ways; ²⁴ a wild runner discipled to the wilderness who gulps the wind at the yearning of her soul; who, in her occasion, turns her back? No one seeking her wearies themselves; in her month they find her. ²⁵ Withhold your foot from being unshod and your throat from thirst. And you say, I quit! No; I love strangers and after them I go. ²⁶ As the thief shames when he is found out, thus the house of Yisra El shames - they, their sovereigns, their governors, and their priests, and their prophets: ²⁷ saying to a tree, You are my father; and to a stone, You birthed me: for they face the nape of their neck to me and not their face: and in the time of their evil they say, Rise! and, Save us! ²⁸ And where are the elohim you worked for yourself? Have them rise, if they can save you in the time of your evil: for the number of your cities are your elohim, O Yah Hudah. ²⁹ Why plead you with me? You all rebel against me - an oracle of Yah Veh. ³⁰ In vain I smote your sons; they took no discipline: your own sword devoured your prophets as a ruining lion. ³¹ O generation, see the word of Yah Veh. Am I a wilderness to Yisra El? A land of darkness? Why say my people, We ramble on - we come no more to you? ³² Forgets a virgin her ornaments? Or a bride her bands? Yet my people forget me days without number. ³³ Why well-please you your way to seek love? So you also teach the evil ones your ways. 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. ³⁵ Yet you say, Because I am exonerated, surely his wrath turns from me. Behold, I judge you, because you say, I sin not. ³⁶ Why gad you about so mightily to change your way? Even of Misrayim, you shame as you shamed of Ashshur. ³⁷ Yes, you go forth from him, with your hands on your head: for Yah Veh spurns your confidences, and you prosper not therein.

¹¹
THE ALMOND SPROUT
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, Yirme Yah, what see you? And I say, I see a sprout from an almond tree.

²⁸ The prophet, having a dream, have him scribe a dream; and he, having my word, have him word my word in truth. What is the straw to the grain? - an oracle of Yah Veh.

¹
THE APPROACH OF THE END
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying,

¹
THE SON OF ELOHIM IS THE ESSENCE OF ELOHIM
In many portions and in many manners, long ago, Elohim spoke to the fathers in the prophets,

²¹ for no prophecy was ever brought by the will of humanity: but holy humans of Elohim spoke - borne by the Holy Spirit.

³¹ and Yisra El sees the great hand Yah Veh worked on the Misrayim: and the people awe Yah Veh and trust Yah Veh and his servant Mosheh.

⁸ And Mosheh says, In the evening, Yah Veh gives you flesh to eat and in the morning bread to satiety; for Yah Veh hears the murmurings you murmur against him! And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yah Veh!

³ And Mosheh comes and describes to the people all the words of Yah Veh and all the judgments. And all the people answer with one voice, and say, All the words Yah Veh words, we work. ⁴ And Mosheh inscribes all the words of Yah Veh and starts early in the morning and builds a sacrifice altar under the mountain and twelve monoliths for the twelve scions of Yisra El: ⁵ and he sends lads of the sons of Yisra El, who holocaust holocausts and sacrifice sacrifices - shelamim of bullocks to Yah Veh: ⁶ and Mosheh takes half of the blood and puts it in bowls; and half of the blood he sprinkles on the sacrifice altar: ⁷ and he takes the scroll of the covenant and recalls in the ears of the people. And they say, All Yah Veh words, we work and hearken. ⁸ And Mosheh takes the blood and sprinkles it on the people and says, Behold the blood of the covenant Yah Veh cut with you concerning all these words.

⁷ for Yah Veh your Elohim blessed you in all the works of your hand: he knew your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years Yah Veh your Elohim was with you; you lacked no word.

² and remember all the way Yah Veh your Elohim carried you these forty years in the wilderness - to humble you and to test you - to know what was in your heart, whether or not you guarded his misvoth:

¹⁵ who carried you through that great and awesome wilderness of seraph serpents and scorpions and thirst - where there was no water: who brought water from the rock of flint; ¹⁶ who fed you in the wilderness with manna which your fathers knew not - to humble you and to test you - to well-please you at your latter end;

¹² and you led them by day by a pillar of cloud; and by night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein to go: ¹³ and you descended on mount Sinay and worded with them from the heavens and gave them straight judgments and true torahs, good statutes and misvoth: ¹⁴ and had them know your holy shabbath; and misvahed them your misvoth, statutes and torah, by the hand of Mosheh your servant: ¹⁵ and gave them bread from the heavens for their famine; and brought them water from the rock for their thirst; and said to them to go in to possess the land which you lifted your hand to give them. ¹⁶ And they and our fathers seethed and hardened their necks and hearkened not to your misvoth ¹⁷ and refused to hearken; and remembered not the marvels you worked among them and hardened their necks; and in their rebellion gave a head to return them to their servitude. But you are an Elohah of forgivenesses, charismatic and merciful, slow to wrath and of great mercy and forsook them not. ¹⁸ Also, they worked themselves a molten calf and said, This is your Elohim who ascends you from Misrayim; and works great scornings; ¹⁹ yet you in your abundant mercies forsook them not in the wilderness: neither turned the pillar of the cloud from them by day - to lead them in the way; nor the pillar of fire by night - to show them light and the way to go. ²⁰ You gave also your good Spirit to have them comprehend and withheld not your manna from their mouth and gave them water for their thirst: ²¹ yes, forty years you sustained them in the wilderness so that they neither lacked; nor wore out their clothes nor swelled their feet.

²⁰ Wisdom shouts; she gives her voice in the broadways;

¹ Wisdom, calls she not? And discernment, give her voice? ² She stands in the top of the heights by the way between the houses of the paths; ³ she shouts at the handle of the portals - at the mouth of the city at the entry at the portals. ⁴ To you, O men, I call; and my voice to the sons of humanity:

¹¹ Come, you daughters of Siyon and see sovereign Shelomoh with the crown his mother crowned him in the day of his wedding and in the day of the cheerfulness of his heart.

¹
FASTING
Call out with the throat! Spare not! Lift your voice as a shophar and tell my people their rebellion; and the house of Yaaqov their sins.

⁷ I remember the mercies of Yah Veh, the halals of Yah Veh, according to all Yah Veh dealt us, and the great goodness toward the house of Yisra El which he dealt on them according to his mercies and according to the abundance of his mercies. ⁸ And he says, Surely they are my people; sons who falsify not: he is their Saviour. ⁹ In all their tribulation, he tribulates not; and the angel of his face saves them: in his love and in his compassion he redeemed them and he bore them - bore them all the days of antiquity. ¹⁰ And they rebelled and contorted his holy Spirit: and he turned to be their enemy - he fought against them: ¹¹ and he remembered the days of antiquity - Mosheh - his people. Where is he who ascended them from the sea with the tender of his flock? Where is he who set his holy Spirit within him? ¹² Who carried them by the right of Mosheh with his arm of adornment - splitting the water at their face to work himself an eternal name? ¹³ Who carried them through the abyss as a horse in the wilderness that they not falter? ¹⁴ As an animal descends into the valley, the Spirit of Yah Veh rests him: thus you drive your people, to work yourself a name of adornment.

⁶ And said not, Where is Yah Veh who ascended us from the land of Misrayim? Who carried us through the wilderness - a land of plains and of chasms - a land of parch and of the shadow of death - a land where no man passed through and where no human settled?

² Stand in the portal of the house of Yah Veh and call out this word, and say, Hear the word of Yah Veh, all Yah Hudah, who enter in at these portals to prostrate in front of Yah Veh:

⁶ And Yah Veh says to me, Call all these words in the cities of Yah Hudah and in the outways of Yeru Shalem, saying, Hear the words of this covenant, and work them.

² and go forth to Gay Ben Hinnom/Valley of the Son of Burning by the opening of the pottery portal; and there call out the words I word you,

⁸ And I pass you by and see you; behold, your time is a time of loves: and I spread my wing over you and cover your nakedness: yes, I oath to you and enter a covenant with you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh and you become mine:

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.

⁶⁰ I remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth; and I raise to you an eternal covenant.

³ and they whore in Misrayim; they whore in their youth: there they pierce their breasts and there they work the nipples of their virginity:

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.

¹⁹ and she abounds her whoredoms in remembering the days of her youth wherein she whored in the land of Misrayim:

¹⁵ and I give her her vineyards from there and Gaymek Achor for an opening of hope: and there she answers as in the days of her youth - as in the day she ascended from the land of Misrayim.

¹ A shophar to your palate - as an eagle against the house of Yah Veh: because they trespass my covenant and rebel against my torah.

² Rise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it; for their evil ascends at my face.

¹⁵ Whoever has ears to hear, hear!

¹³
YAH SHUA ON AVARICE
And one of the multitude says to him, Doctor, say to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.

²² And you say to Paroh, Thus says Yah Veh: Yisra El is my son - my firstbirth: ²³ and I say to you, Send my son away, that he serve me: and if you refuse to send him away, behold, I slaughter your son - your firstbirth.

⁵ and now, if in hearing, you hear my voice and guard my covenant, then you - you become to me a peculiar possession above all people: for all the earth is mine: ⁶ and you become to me a sovereigndom of priests and a holy goyim. These are the words you word to the sons of Yisra El. 2 Petros 2:9, Apocalypse 1:6

²⁹ Delay not the fulness of your juices. Give me the firstbirth of your sons.

¹⁶ And the celebration of harvest: the firstfruits of the works you seeded in the field. And the celebration of ingathering: - in the end of the year when you ingather your works from the field.

¹² all the fat of the oil and all the fat of the juice and of the crop, the firstlings of all they give to Yah Veh, I give you:

⁶ For you are a holy people to Yah Veh your Elohim: Yah Veh your Elohim chose you to be his peculiar people above all people on the face of the soil.

² For you are a holy people to Yah Veh your Elohim and Yah Veh chose you to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the goyim upon the face of the soil.

¹⁹ and gives that you become most high above all goyim he worked - in halal and in name and in adornment; to become a holy people to Yah Veh your Elohim, as he worded.

¹⁴ then had I shortly subdued their enemies and turned my hand against their tribulators. ¹⁵ The haters of Yah Veh emaciate in front of him; but their time is eternal:

¹⁴ he allowed no human to wrong them; yes, he reproved sovereigns for their sakes; ¹⁵ saying, Neither touch not my anointed nor vilify my prophets!

²⁵ he turned their heart to hate his people - to deceive his servants; ²⁶ he sent Mosheh his servant and Aharon whom he chose: ²⁷ they set words of his signs among them and omens in the land of Ham: ²⁸ he sent darkness and it darkened; they rebelled not against his word; ²⁹ he turned their waters into blood and deathified their fish; ³⁰ their land teemed with frogs in the chambers of their sovereigns. ³¹ He said, and swarms and stingers arrived in all their borders: ³² he gave them hail for downpour and flaming fire in their land: ³³ he smote their vines and their fig trees and broke the trees of their borders. ³⁴ He said, and the locusts and cankerworms arrived - inummerable; ³⁵ and ate all the herbs in their land and devoured the fruit of their soil: ³⁶ he smote all the firstbirthed in their land - the firstfruits of all their strength:

¹¹ Behold, all who inflame against you shame and confound: they become as naught; and the men who strive with you destruct.

⁶ I enrage over my people; I profane my inheritance; and give them into your hand: you set them no mercies; you make your yoke on the aged mighty heavy.

¹⁴ Thus says Yah Veh against all my evil fellow tabernaclers, who touch the inheritance that I have my people Yisra El to inherit: behold, I uproot them from their soil; and uproot the house of Yah Hudah from among them.

¹⁶ So all who consume you are consumed; and all your tribulators - every one of them go into captivity; and they who plunder you, are plundered; and all who plunder you, I give for a plunder:

⁷ All who find them devour them: and their tribulators say, We guilt not! - because they sinned against Yah Veh the habitation of rest of justness; - Yah Veh, the expectation of their fathers.

³
THE LAND DESOLATED
Scribe thereof to your sons; and your sons to their sons; and their sons to another generation.

⁷ He sets my vine desolate and chips away my fig tree: in stripping, he strips and casts away; the tendrils whiten. ⁸ Lament as a virgin girt with saq for the master of her youth:

¹
HO TO THEM WHO RELAX IN SIYON
Ho to them who relax in Siyon and confide in the mountain of Shomeron - the appointed firstlings of the goyim to whom the house of Yisra El comes!

¹⁵ and in my enraging, I enrage greatly with the goyim who relax: for I was but a little enraged, and they helped for evil.

⁸ For thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: After the honor he sends me to the goyim who spoiled you: for he who touches you touches the pupil of his eye.

² Behold, I set Yeru Shalem a bason of staggering to all the people all around, in the siege both against Yah Hudah and against Yeru Shalem: ³ and in that day, I set Yeru Shalem a stone of burden for all goyim: all who burden themselves with it in incising, incise themselves, and all the people of the earth gather against it. ⁴
THE LIBERATION OF YERU SHALEM
In that day, - an oracle of Yah Veh I smite every horse with consternation and his rider with insanity: and I open my eyes on the house of Yah Hudah and smite every horse of the people with blindness.

²⁰ In that day there is on the jinglers of the horses, HOLINESS TO YAH VEH. And so be the caldrons in the house of Yah Veh - as the sprinklers at the face of the sacrifice altar: ²¹ and so be every caldron in Yeru Shalem and in Yah Hudah - holy to Yah Veh Sabaoth: and all who sacrifice come and take thereof, and stew therein: and in that day, the Kenaaniy is no more in the house of Yah Veh Sabaoth.

⁴ and he falls to the earth: and he hears a voice wording to him, Shaul, Shaul, why persecute you me? ⁵ And he says, Who are you, Adonay? And Adonay says, I AM Yah Shua whom you persecute: it is hard for you to heel against the stings.

¹⁶ For if the firstlings be holy, the lump also: and if the root be holy, the branches also.

⁵ likewise the ecclesia in their house. Salute my beloved Epaenetus, the firstlings of Achaia to Messiah:

⁴ exactly as he selected us in him ere the foundation of the cosmos, to be holy and unblemished in his sight in love:

¹⁸ Of his own will he bred us with the word of truth - to be some firstlings of his creatures.

⁹ But you are a select genos, a sovereign priesthood, a holy goyim, a peculiar acquisition to himself; to evangelize the exultation of him who called you from darkness into his marvellous light:

⁴ These are they who stained not with women for they are virgins; these are they who follow the Lamb wherever he goes; these are marketed from among humanity - firstlings to Elohim and to the Lamb.

¹
THE ETERNAL SALVATION OF SIYON
Hearken to me, you who pursue justness, you who seek Yah Veh: look to the rock whence you were hewn and to the quarry of the well whence you were bored: ² look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who writhed you: I, for one, called him and blessed him and abounded him. ³ For Yah Veh sighs over Siyon: he sighs over all her parched areas; and he sets her wilderness as Eden and her plain as the garden of Yah Veh; rejoicing, yes, and cheerfulness are found therein - spread hands and the voice of psalm. ⁴ Hearken to me, O my people; and hearken to me, O my nation: for a torah proceeds from me and I rest my judgment for a light of the people.

²¹ Hear this, I beseech, O foolish people, and without heart; having eyes, and seeing not; having ears, and hearing not:

¹⁵ Hear! And hearken! Not lofted! - for Yah Veh has worded.

³ and say, Hear the word of Yah Veh, O sovereigns of Yah Hudah and settlers of Yeru Shalem; thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth, Elohim of Yisra El: Behold, I bring evil on this place, by which whoever hears, his ears tingle:

¹
THE ETERNAL LOVE OF YAH VEH
At the same time, - an oracle of Yah Veh I become Elohim of all the families of Yisra El, and they become my people.

²⁴ See you not what this people word, saying, The two families Yah Veh chose, he spurns? Thus they scorn my people, that they are no more a goyim at their face.

⁴ Yet hear the word of Yah Veh, O Sidqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah; Thus says Yah Veh of you: You die not by the sword:

²⁴ Yirme Yah says to all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of Yah Veh, all Yah Hudah in the land of Misrayim: ²⁵ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El, saying; You and your women both worded with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, In working, we work the vows we vowed, to incense to the sovereigness of the heavens and to libate libations to her: in raising, we raise our vows, and in working, we work our vows. ²⁶ So hear the word of Yah Veh, all Yah Hudah who settles in the land of Misrayim; Behold, I oath by my great name, says Yah Veh, that my name no more becomes called out in the mouth of any man of Yah Hudah in all the land of Misrayim, saying, Adonay Yah Veh lives.

¹
THE CONTROVERSY OF YAH VEH
Hear the word of Yah Veh, you sons of Yisra El: because of a controversy of Yah Veh with the settlers of the land; because there is neither truth nor mercy nor knowledge of Elohim in the land:

¹
THE CONTROVERSY OF YAH VEH WITH YISRA EL
Hear, I beseech, what Yah Veh says; Rise! Contend in front of the mountains so that the hills hear your voice.

²¹ they move me to jealousy with their non-el; they vex me with their vanities: and I move them to jealousy by a non-people; I vex them by a foolish goyim.

²¹ turn not aside: for then you go after wasteness, which neither benefits nor rescues; for they are waste.

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:

⁸ They who work them are like them; thus is every one who confides in them.

³ And now, O settlers of Yeru Shalem and men of Yah Hudah, judge, I beseech you, between me and my vineyard. ⁴ What more work I to my vineyard that I worked not therein? Why, when I awaited it to work grapes, worked it stinkweeds?

¹³ Adonay says, Because as this people draws near with their mouth and with their lips honor me - and remove their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the misvah of men

²² And you called not on me, O Yaaqov; and you belabored of me, O Yisra El: ²³ you neither brought me the lambs of your holocausts; nor honored me with your sacrifices. I neither had you serve with an offering; nor belabored you with incense.

⁹ They who form a sculptile all of them are a waste; and their desires benefit not: and they are their own witnesses; they neither see, nor know to shame.

³¹ O generation, see the word of Yah Veh. Am I a wilderness to Yisra El? A land of darkness? Why say my people, We ramble on - we come no more to you?

⁸ And as one, they are brutish and foolish: the tree is a discipline of vanities.

¹⁴ All humanity is brutish in knowledge: every refiner is shamed by the sculptile: for his libation is falsehood and there is no spirit in them: ¹⁵ they are vanity, the work of frauds: in the time of their visitation they destruct.

² You planted them; yes, they root: they grow; yes, they work fruit: you are near in their mouth and far from their reins.

²² Are there any among the vanities of the goyim who can cause downpour? Or can the heavens give showers? Are you not he, O Yah Veh our Elohim? So we await you: for you worked all these.

¹⁷ All humanity is brutish by his knowledge; every refiner shames by the sculptile: for his libation is falsehood and there is no spirit in them. ¹⁸ They are vanity - the work of frauds: in the time of their visitation they destruct.

¹⁵ Son of humanity, your brothers, your brothers, the men of your redemption, and all the house of Yisra El wholly are those to whom the settlers of Yeru Shalem say, Remove afar from Yah Veh: this land is given to us in possession.

⁸ They who observe vain vanities forsake their own mercy;

² Hear the controversy of Yah Veh, O mountains, and you perennial foundations of the earth: for Yah Veh has a controversy with his people and he reproves Yisra El. ³ O my people, what work I to you? And wherein weary I you? Answer against me.

⁸ This people approaches me with their mouth and honors me with their lips; but their heart is far from me:

¹⁵ and wording, Men, why do these? We also are humans of like passions with you, and evangelize to you to turn from these vanities to the living Elohim who made the heavens and earth and the sea and all therein:

²¹ because when they knew Elohim they neither glorified him as Elohim, nor eucharistized; but became vain in their reasonings and darkened their uncomprehending heart:

¹
PAROH PURSUES THE SONS OF YISRA EL
And Yah Veh words to Mosheh, saying, ² Word to the sons of Yisra El, to turn and encamp at the face of Pi Ha Hiroth between Migdol and the sea at the face of Baal Sephon: encamp opposite from it by the sea. ³ For Paroh said of the sons of Yisra El, They entangle in the land; the wilderness shuts them in. ⁴ And I callous the heart of Paroh to pursue after them; that I become honored through Paroh and through all his valiant; that the Misrayim knows I - Yah Veh. - and thus they work. ⁵ And they tell the sovereign of Misrayim that the people flee: and the heart of Paroh and of his servants turns against the people and they say, Why work we this, - to send Yisra El away from serving us? ⁶ And he binds his chariot and takes his people with him: ⁷ and he takes six hundred chosen chariots and all the chariots of Misrayim and tertiaries over everyone of them: ⁸ and Yah Veh callouses the heart of Paroh sovereign of Misrayim and he pursues after the sons of Yisra El: and the sons of Yisra El go out with lifted hand: ⁹ and the Misrayim pursue after them - all the horses and chariots of Paroh and his cavalry and his valiant; and overtake them encamping by the sea beside Pi Ha Hiroth at the face of Baal Sephon. ¹⁰ And when Paroh approaches, the sons of Yisra El lift their eyes, and behold, the Misrayim pull stakes after them; and they awe mightily. And the sons of Yisra El cry out to Yah Veh, ¹¹ and say to Mosheh, Because there are no tombs in Misrayim, take you us away to die in the wilderness? Why work you thus with us - to carry us forth from Misrayim? ¹² Is not this the word we worded you in Misrayim, saying, Cease - and we serve the Misrayim? For better for us to serve the Misrayim than die in the wilderness. ¹³ And Mosheh says to the people, Awe not! Stand still and see the salvation of Yah Veh which he works to you today: for the Misrayim whom you see today, you see them never again any more eternally: ¹⁴ Yah Veh fights for you - and you hush. ¹⁵ And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Why cry to me? Word to the sons of Yisra El to pull stakes:

¹⁴ and your heart lifts and you forget Yah Veh your Elohim who brought you from the land of Misrayim from the house of servants:

¹⁰ He finds him in a wilderness land and in the waste howling desolation; he turns him around; he has him discern; he guards him as the pupil of his eye.

¹³ And Gidon says to him, Oh my Adonay, - and Yah Veh is with us! Why does all this find us? And where are all his marvels our fathers scribed us, saying, Has not Yah Veh ascended us from Misrayim? And now, Yah Veh, forsakes he us? And gives us into the palms of the Midyaniy?

¹⁴ and he takes the mighty mantle of Eli Yah that fell from him and smites the waters and says, Where is Yah Veh Elohim of Eli Yah? And he smites the waters and they halve here and there; and Eli Shua passes over.

⁵ that darkness and the shadow of death redeem it; that a cloudiness tabernacle on it; that the eclipses of the day frighten it;

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

¹⁰ And no one says, Where is Elohah my Worker - who gives psalms in the night?

⁴ Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I awe no evil; for you are with me; your scion and your crutch sigh over me:

⁵ I fabricate the days of antiquity - the years of eternity:

⁹ In all their tribulation, he tribulates not; and the angel of his face saves them: in his love and in his compassion he redeemed them and he bore them - bore them all the days of antiquity.

¹¹ and he remembered the days of antiquity - Mosheh - his people. Where is he who ascended them from the sea with the tender of his flock? Where is he who set his holy Spirit within him? ¹² Who carried them by the right of Mosheh with his arm of adornment - splitting the water at their face to work himself an eternal name? ¹³ Who carried them through the abyss as a horse in the wilderness that they not falter?

⁷ and no one calls on your name - wakens himself to take hold of you: for you hide your face from us, and melt us by the hand of our perversities.

² Go and call out in the ears of Yeru Shalem, saying, Thus says Yah Veh, I remember you; the mercy of your youth, the love of your betrothals - your going after me in the wilderness in a land not seeded.

⁸ The priests say not, Where is Yah Veh? and they who manipulate the torah know me not and the tenders rebel against me; and the prophets prophesy by Baal and walk after those who benefit not.

² And if they say, Yah Veh lives! - surely they oath falsely.

¹³ And by a prophet Yah Veh ascends Yisra El from Misrayim, - guarded by a prophet.

⁴ Yet I - Yah Veh your Elohim from the land of Misrayim and you know no elohim except me: for there is no saviour except me.

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

²⁴ Foul not yourselves in any of these: for in all these the goyim foul - whom I sent away from your face: ²⁵ and the land fouled: so I visit the perversity thereof thereon; and the land itself vomits them who settle her. ²⁶ Guard my statutes and my judgments and work not any of these abhorrences - native and sojourner sojourning among you: ²⁷ for the men of the land at your face worked all these abhorrences and fouled the land; ²⁸ lest the land vomits you, when you foul it, as it vomited the goyim at your face.

²⁷ And they describe to him and say, We went to the land you sent us and surely it flows with milk and honey and this is the fruit thereof:

⁷ and they say to all the witness of the sons of Yisra El, saying, The land, we passed through to explore, is a mighty mighty good land: ⁸ if Yah Veh delights in us, he brings us into this land and gives it us - a land flowing with milk and honey:

³³ And profane not the land wherein you are; for blood profanes the land: and you cannot kapar/atone the land for the blood poured therein, except by the blood of him who poured it. ³⁴ Foul not the land wherein you settle in whose midst I tabernacle: I -Yah Veh tabernacle among the sons of Yisra El.

¹⁰ And so be it, when Yah Veh your Elohim brings you into the land he oathed to your fathers - to Abraham, to Yischaq and to Yaaqov, to give you great and goodly cities which you built not, ¹¹ and houses full of all goods which you filled not and hewn wells which you hewed not, vineyards and olive trees which you planted not; and eat and satiate;

¹⁸ and work what is straight and good in the eyes of Yah Veh: that it well-please you and that you go in and possess the good land Yah Veh oathed to your fathers:

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.

¹⁰ For the land you go to possess is not as the land of Misrayim whence you came - where you seeded your seed and moistened with your foot as a garden of herbs: ¹¹ but the land, you pass over to possess is a land of mountains and valleys; and drinks water of the rain of the heavens: 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.

²³ stay not his carcase on the tree overnight, but in entombing, entomb him that day; for he who is hanged has an abasement of Elohim; that your soil be not defiled, which Yah Veh your Elohim gives you - an inheritance.

²⁵ and they captured cut off cities and a fat soil and possessed houses full of all goods, wells hewed, vineyards and oliveyards and food trees in abundance: so they ate and satisfied and fattened and pleased themselves in your great goodness:

⁵⁸ and they vex him with their bamahs and move him to jealousy with their sculptiles. ⁵⁹ Elohim heard; he was wroth; and spurned Yisra El mightily;

³⁸ and poured innocent blood - the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Kenaan: and profaned the land with blood. ³⁹ Thus they fouled with their own works and whored in their exploits.

¹
THE WHOREDOM OF YISRA EL
Saying, If a man sends away his woman, and she goes from him, and becomes to another man, returns he to her again? In profaning, is not that land profaned? And you whore with many friends and return to me - an oracle of Yah Veh.

⁹ And so be it, through the voice of her whoredom she profanes the land, and adulterizes with stones and with timber.

¹⁸ And first I shalam double for their perversity and their sin; because they profaned my land - they filled my inheritance with the carcases of their abominations and abhorrences.

⁶ the day I lifted my hand to them, to bring them from the land of Misrayim to a land I explored for them - flowing with milk and honey - the splendor of all lands:

¹⁷ Son of humanity, the house of Yisra El settles in their own soil; they foul it by their own way and by their exploits: their way is at my face as the foulness of one excluded:

¹⁰ Rise and depart; for this not rest: because of foulness, it despoils you - a forceful despoiling.

¹⁰ They point out your judgments to Yaaqov and your torah to Yisra El: they put incense at your nostrils, totally on your sacrifice altar.

¹²
THE SONS OF ELI
And the sons of Eli are sons of Beli Yaal; they know not Yah Veh.

²² Then Eli Yah says to the people, I - I only, remain a prophet of Yah Veh; but the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men:

²⁹ and so be it, noon passes, and they prophesy until the holocaust of the offering; and there is neither voice nor any answering, nor any hearkening.

⁴⁰ And Eli Yah says to them, Apprehend the prophets of Baal; that not a man of them escape. - and they apprehend them. And Eli Yah descends them to the wadi Qishon and slaughters them there.

⁷ And even they, through wine, err inadvertently; and through intoxicants, stagger; the priest and the prophet, through intoxicants, err inadvertently - swallowed by wine: they stagger through intoxicants; they err inadvertently in sight; they waver in judgment.

¹⁰ For Yah Veh libates the spirit of sound sleep upon you: and binds your eyes - the prophets and your heads - the seers, he covers.

⁵ they all shame by a people who benefit them not - neither a help nor benefit - but for shame and also for reproach.

⁹ All you live beings of the field, come to devour - all you live beings in the forest. ¹⁰ His watchers are blind; they know not: they are all mute dogs; they cannot bark: dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber. ¹¹ Yes, they are dogs, strong of soul, who know not satisfaction; and they are tenders who know not to discern: they all face their own way, every man for his gain, from his end. ¹² You, come; I take wine, and we carouse with intoxicants; and tomorrow is as this day - a mighty great remainder.

¹¹ Changes a goyim their elohim to a non-elohim? and my people change their honor for that which benefits not.

²² For my people are foolish, they know me not; foolish sons and they discern not: wise to vilify and to well-please they know not.

³¹ the prophets prophesy falsely and the priests subjugate by their hands; and thus my people love it. And what work you in the end?

⁸ Behold, you confide in false words that benefit not;

⁸ How say you, We are wise and the torah of Yah Veh is with us? Behold, surely it works falsehood; the false stylus of the scribes works falsehood. ⁹ The wise shame: they are dismayed and captured: behold, they spurn the word of Yah Veh; and what wisdom is in them? ¹⁰ So I give their women to others and their fields to their successors: for every one from the least even to the greatest greedily gains to greedy gain - from the prophet even to the priest - every one works falsely. ¹¹ And they heal the breech of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Shalom! Shalom! when there is no shalom.

²¹ for the tenders are stupid and seek not Yah Veh: so they comprehend not and all their pastures are scattered.

¹⁰ Many tenders ruin my vineyard; they trample my allotment; they give the allotment of my desire a desolate wilderness:

¹⁹ O Yah Veh, my strength, and my stronghold; and my retreat in the day of tribulation, the goyim come to you from the finalities of the earth, and say, our fathers inherited falsehoods; vanity, wherein no one benefits.

¹
THE JUST SPROUT
Ho to the tenders who destroy and scatter the flock of my pasture - an oracle of Yah Veh. ² So thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El against the tenders who tend my people: You scatter my flock and drive them away and visit them not: behold, I visit the evil of your exploits on you - an oracle of Yah Veh

⁹ Concerning the prophets: My heart within me is broken; all my bones flutter; I am as an intoxicated man and as the mighty overpassed by wine at the face of Yah Veh, and at the face of the words of his holiness. ¹⁰ For the land is filled with adulterers; for at the face of oathing, the land mourns; the folds of the wilderness wither and their race is evil; and their might, not right. ¹¹ For both prophet and priest profane; yes, in my house I found their evil - an oracle of Yah Veh. ¹² So their way is to them as slippery in the darkness: they are overthrown and fall therein: for I bring evil on them - the year of their visitation - an oracle of Yah Veh. ¹³ And I see frivolity in the prophets of Shomeron; they prophesy in Baal, and stray my people Yisra El: ¹⁴ and I see a horror in the prophets of Yeru Shalem; they adulterize and walk in falsehoods: yes, they strengthen the hands of vilifiers so that no man returns from his evil: they all are to me as Sedom and the settlers as Amorah. ¹⁵ So thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth concerning the prophets: Behold, I feed them with wormwood and have them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Yeru Shalem profaneness goes into all the land.

⁶ My people are severed for lack of knowledge: because you spurn knowledge, I also spurn you from priesting to me: seeing you forget the torah of your Elohim, I also forget your sons.

¹⁸ What profit is the sculptile to the former who sculpts - or the molten, to a teacher of falsehoods, Confides the former of its form to work mute idols?

⁶ The torah of truth being in his mouth, and no perversity found in his lips: he walks with me in shalom and straightness and turns many away from iniquity. ⁷ For the lips of the priest guard knowledge and they seek the torah at his mouth: for he is the angel of Yah Veh Sabaoth. ⁸ And you turn aside from the way; you falter many at the torah; you ruin the covenant of Levi; says Yah Veh Sabaoth. ⁹ So I also give you despised and lowly in front of all the people because according to your mouth you guard not my ways, and lift faces against the torah.

²⁶ for what is a human benefited whenever he gains the whole cosmos and loses his own soul? Or what gives a human in exchange for his soul?

⁵² Woe to you, torahists! For you take the key of knowledge: and you yourselves enter not; and them entering, you forbid.

⁵⁵ yet you know him not; but I know him: and whenever I say, I know him not, I become a liar like you: but I know him, and guard his word.

³ and they do these to you because they know neither the Father, nor me:

¹⁷
THE YAH HUDIY AND THE TORAH
Behold, you are named Yah Hudiy and repose in the torah and make your boast in Elohim, ¹⁸ and know his will and approve those that thoroughly surpass, being catechized from the torah; ¹⁹ and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind - a light of them in darkness, ²⁰ a pedagogue of the thoughtless, a doctor of babes having the form of knowledge and of the truth in the torah. ²¹ So you who doctrinate another, doctrinate you not yourself? You who preach, Steal not, you - steal? ²² You who word, Adulterize not, you - adulterize? You who abhor idols, you - strip priestal precincts? ²³ You who boast in torah, through transgressing the torah dishonor you Elohim? ²⁴ For through you the name of Elohim is blasphemed among the goyim exactly as scribed.

² but disown the secrets of shame; neither walking in cunningness nor handling the word of Elohim deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to the conscience of every human in the sight of Elohim.

⁵ neither prostrate yourself to them, nor serve them: for I Yah Veh your Elohim am a jealous El, visiting the perversity of the fathers on the sons to the third and fourth of them who hate me;

⁵ then I set my face against that man and against his family and cut him off and all who whore after him to whore with Molech, from among their people.

¹³ Yah Veh stations himself to plead and stands to plead the cause of the people.

²⁶ Remind me, so that we plead together: scribe you, that you be justified.

²⁹ Why plead you with me? You all rebel against me - an oracle of Yah Veh.

³⁵ Yet you say, Because I am exonerated, surely his wrath turns from me. Behold, I judge you, because you say, I sin not.

³⁵ and I bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there I plead with you face to face: ³⁶ as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Misrayim, thus I plead with you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh

² Plead with your mother - plead: for she is neither my woman nor I her man: have her turn aside her whoredoms from her face and her adulteries from between her breasts;

² Hear the controversy of Yah Veh, O mountains, and you perennial foundations of the earth: for Yah Veh has a controversy with his people and he reproves Yisra El.

⁴ And the sons of Yavan: Eli Shah and Tarshish, Kittiym and Dodanim. ⁵ By these were the isles of the goyim separated in their lands; each man by his tongue, by their families, in their goyim.

¹³ and these are the names of the sons of Yishma El, by their names, according to their generations: the firstbirth of Yishma El, Nebayoth; and Qedar and Adbe El and Mibsam

²⁴ And ships from the hand of Kittim, humble Ashshur and humble Heber: and he also becomes to eternal destruction.

³⁰ And so be it, all who see it, say, Thus has neither been nor seen from the day the sons of Yisra El ascended from the land of Misrayim to this day! Set on it! Consult and word!

⁷ And the sons of Yavan: Eli Shah and Tarshish, Kittiy and Dodanim.

¹
DAVID HAS SHELOMOH REIGN OVER YISRA EL
And David ages, satisfied of days; and he has Shelomoh his son reign over Yisra El:

¹²
SCRIBING THE SONS OF QEHATH
The sons of Qehath: Am Ram, Yishar, Hebron and Uzzi El - four.

⁵ Woe is me; I sojourn in Meshech; I dwell in the tents of Qedar!

¹⁶ For Adonay says thus to me, Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the honor of Qedar finishes off:

¹³ So thus says Yah Veh; Ask I beseech you, among the goyim, Who ever heard such? The virgin of Yisra El works mighty horribly. ¹⁴ Ceases the snow of Lebanon from the rock of the field? Or are the strange cool flowing waters uprooted?

⁶ from the oaks of Bashan they work your oars; the daughters of the Ashshuriym work your boards of ivory - brought from the islands of Kittim.

³⁰ for the ships of Kittim come against him: so he is dejected and returns; and rages against the holy covenant: thus he works; and returns; and discerns with them concerning them who forsake the holy covenant.

¹
PAULOS REBUKES WHOREDOM
I actually hear of whoredom among you; and such whoredom as is not even named among the goyim; that one has the woman of his father.

²⁹ Blithe - you, O Yisra El: who is like to you? A people saved by Yah Veh - the buckler of your help and the sword of your pomp! and your enemies emaciate in front of you; and you tread on their bamahs.

³ And you, O Yah Veh, my buckler, my honor and the lifter of my head.

²⁰ they changed their honor into the pattern of an ox that eats herbage:

⁴ Their idols are silver and gold the work of human hands:

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.

⁵ thus says Yah Veh, What wickedness found your fathers in me, that they removed afar from me and walked after vanity and became vain?

²⁰ Works humanity elohim for himself? They are non-elohim!

⁵ For all people - every man walks in the name of his elohim, and we walk in the name of Yah Veh our Elohim eternally and eternally.

²³ and changed the glory of the uncorruptible Elohim into an icon likened to corruptible humanity and to flyers and quadrupeds and creepers.

⁴ So, concerning the eating of idol sacrifices, we know that an idol is naught in the cosmos and that there is no other Elohim except one.

¹⁸ knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptibles as silver or gold of your vain patriarchal traditions;

¹
MOSHEH SINGS THE NEW SONG Hearken, O you heavens and I word; and hear, O earth, the sayings of my mouth!

² Hear, O heavens; and hearken, O earth: for Yah Veh words, I nourished and raised sons, and they - they rebelled against me.

¹⁹ Hear, O earth! Behold, I bring evil on this people - the fruit of their fabrications because they hearken not to my words, and my torah, they spurn.

²⁹ O earth! Earth! Earth! Hear the word of Yah Veh!

⁴⁵ And from the sixth hour darkness becomes over all the earth to the ninth hour:

⁵⁰ And again Yah Shua cries with a mega voice and releases his spirit. ⁵¹
MATERIAL AND PHYSICAL REACTIONS
And behold, the veil of the nave splits in two from above to downward; and the earth quakes and the rocks split ⁵² and the tombs open; and many bodies of the sleeping holy rise; ⁵³ and come from the tombs after his rising and enter the holy city and manifest to many.

¹³ and you - you forsake me and serve other elohim: so I add not to save you:

¹⁰ and they cried to Yah Veh and said, We sinned, because we forsook Yah Veh and served Baalim and Ashtaroth: and now, rescue us from the hand of our enemies and we serve you.

⁹ for the fountain of life is with you; in your light we see light.

¹¹ But my people will to not hearken to my voice; and Yisra El has none of me: ¹² and I send them in the warp of their own heart; and they walk in their own counsels. ¹³ Oh that my people hearken to me and Yisra El walk in my ways:

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 Confide not in volunteers - in a son of humanity - in whom there is no salvation: ⁴ his spirit goes; he returns to his soil; that very day his thoughts destruct.

² Vanity of vanities, says the Congregationer: Vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

¹⁴ I saw all the works worked under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and gnawing of spirit.

¹¹ Then I faced all the works my hands worked and on the toil I toiled to work; and behold, all is vanity and gnawing of spirit and there is no advantage under the sun.

²¹ For there is a human whose toil is in wisdom and in knowledge and in prosperity; yet he gives his allotment to a human who never toiled therein. This also is vanity and a great evil.

²⁶ - giving humanity what is good at his face - wisdom and knowledge and cheerfulness; and to the sinner he gives drudgery, to gather and to heap, to give him the good at the face of Elohim. This also is vanity and gnawing of spirit.

⁴ And I see all the toil and all the prosperity of work; that for this man envies friend; this is also vanity and gnawing of spirit.

⁸ Vanity of vanities! says the Congregationer: All is vanity.

³ The ox knows his chatteler and the burro the manger of his master: Yisra El knows not; my people discern not.

¹³ So my people are exiled, because they have no knowledge: and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude parched with thirst.

⁹ They who form a sculptile all of them are a waste; and their desires benefit not: and they are their own witnesses; they neither see, nor know to shame. ¹⁰ Who ever formed an el or poured a sculptile that is not beneficial? ¹¹ Behold, all his companions shame: and the engravers are of humanity: they all gather; together they stand: they fear; together they shame. ¹² The engraver of iron works with the ax in the coals and forms with hammers and makes with the force of his arms: yes, he famishes and his force is not: he drinks no water and wearies. ¹³ The engraver of timber spreads his line; he surveys with a stylus; he works with planes: and he surveys with the compass and works after the pattern of a man according to the adornment of humanity; that it settle in the house: ¹⁴ he cuts down cedars; and takes the cypress and the oak which he strengthens for himself among the trees of the forest: he plants an ash, and the downpour nourishes: ¹⁵ and it becomes for humanity to burn: for he takes and heats; yes, he kindles and bakes bread: yes, he works an el and prostrates; he makes a sculptile, and prostrates thereto: ¹⁶ he burns half in the fire; with half he eats flesh; he roasts a roast, and satiates: yes, he heats, and says, Aha, I heat up; I see the flame: ¹⁷ and of what survives, he works an el - his sculptile: he prostrates thereto - prostrates and prays thereto, and says, Rescue me; for you are my el. ¹⁸ They neither know nor discern: for he daubs their eyes from seeing, and their hearts from comprehending: ¹⁹ and no one turns to his heart; there is neither knowledge nor discernment to say, I burn half in the fire; yes, also I bake bread on the coals; I roast flesh and eat: and I work the remnant an abhorrence: I prostrate to the product of a tree. ²⁰ He grazes on ashes: a mocked heart perverts him that he neither rescues his soul, nor says, Is there not a falsehood in my right?

⁶ They scatter gold from the pouch and weigh silver in the beam and hire a refiner; and he works an el thereof: they prostrate; yes, they prostrate: ⁷ they bear him on the shoulder; they bear him and set him in his place and he stands; he departs not from his place: yes, one cries to him; yet he answers not - saves him not from his tribulation.

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

⁸ And he says, Surely they are my people; sons who falsify not: he is their Saviour.

¹⁶ and I word my judgments against them touching all their evil - in that they forsake me and incense to other elohim, and prostrate to the works of their own hands.

¹⁷ Worked you not this to yourself - in that you forsook Yah Veh your Elohim the time he carried you by the way?

²⁶ As the thief shames when he is found out, thus the house of Yisra El shames - they, their sovereigns, their governors, and their priests, and their prophets:

³¹ O generation, see the word of Yah Veh. Am I a wilderness to Yisra El? A land of darkness? Why say my people, We ramble on - we come no more to you? ³² Forgets a virgin her ornaments? Or a bride her bands? Yet my people forget me days without number.

²⁶ for wicked are found among my people: they observe, as he who weaves snares; they station a ruin, they captivate men:

⁶ You abandoned me - an oracle of Yah Veh; you go backward: and I spread my hand against you, and ruin you; I weary with sighing:

¹³ O Yah Veh, the expectation of Yisra El, all who forsake you, shame; and they who turn aside from me are inscribed in the earth, because they forsook Yah Veh the fountain of living waters.

¹⁴ Ceases the snow of Lebanon from the rock of the field? Or are the strange cool flowing waters uprooted?

⁸ From yesterday my people rise as an enemy: you strip the mighty mantle with the clothes from them who pass by confidently as men returning from war:

³ O my people, what work I to you? And wherein weary I you? Answer against me.

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water I give never ever thirsts to the eons; but the water I give becomes a fountain of water in him springing up to eternal life.

³⁷
THE INVITATION OF YAH SHUA TO TAKE THE HOLY SPIRIT
In the final day - that mega day of the celebration Yah Shua stands and cries, wording, whenever anyone thirsts, come to me and drink:

¹⁷ These are waterless fountains - clouds driven by a whirlwind to whom the mist of darkness is guarded to the eons.

⁶ And he says to me, It is become! I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the completion/shalom. To him who thirsts I give of the fountain of the water of life gratuitously.

¹
THE THRONE, STREAM, AND STAFF OF LIFE OF THE NEW YERU SHALEM
And he shows me a pure stream of water of life radiant as crystaline proceeding from the throne of Elohim and of the Lamb.

¹⁷
THE FINAL INVITATION
And the Spirit and the bride word, Come; And whoever hears, say, Come. And whoever thirsts, come. And whoever wills, take the water of life gratuitously.

³ And Abram says, Behold, you give me no seed! And behold, a son of my house supersedes me!

²² And you say to Paroh, Thus says Yah Veh: Yisra El is my son - my firstbirth:

⁷ I chattelized servants and maids and had sons of my house; I also had abundant chattel of oxen and flocks above all that were in Yeru Shalem at my face:

¹
THE SIN OF YISRA EL
Thus says Yah Veh, Where is the scroll of divorcement of your mother whom I sent away? Or to which of my exactors have I sold you? Behold, for your perversities you sold yourselves, and for your rebellions is your mother sent away.

⁵ Then Shimshon and his father and his mother descend to Timnah and come to the vineyards of Timnah: and behold, a whelp of the lionesses roars in to meet him:

¹⁰ The roaring of the lion and the voice of the roaring lion and the teeth of the whelps - all are pulled.

⁴ My soul is among roaring lions; and I lie among the inflamed - the sons of humanity whose teeth are spears and arrows and their tongue a sharp sword.

⁷ Your land, a desolation; your cities, burned with fire: your soil, strangers devour in your presence - a desolation overthrown by strangers.

⁹ In my ears, Yah Veh Sabaoth, surely many houses become desolate - great and good, without settler.

²⁹ they roar like a roaring lion; they roar like whelps: yes, they growl, and take hold of the prey and slip it away and no one rescues.

¹¹ Then I say, Adonay, until when? And he says, Until the cities waste away without settler, and the houses without humanity, and the soil wastes - a desolation;

¹
YAH VEH EVACUATES THE EARTH
Behold, Yah Veh evacuates the earth and wastes it and twists it face down and scatters the settlers abroad.

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.

⁶ So a lion from the forest smites them; a wolf from the plains ravages them; a leopard watches over their cities; every one who comes out thence is torn - because their rebellions abound by the myriads and their apostasies are mighty.

¹¹ and I give Yeru Shalem to heaps and a habitation of monsters; and I work the cities of Yah Hudah desolate without settler.

³⁰ So prophesy all these words against them and say to them, Yah Veh roars from on high and gives his voice from his holy habitation of rest; in roaring, he roars on his habitation of rest; he answers as they who tread against all the settlers of the earth.

⁹ Why prophesy you in the name of Yah Veh, saying, This house becomes as Shiloh, and this city parched without a settler? - and all the people congregate against Yirme Yah in the house of Yah Veh.

¹⁰ Thus says Yah Veh: Again it is heard in this place, which you say is parched dry without humanity and without animal - in the cities of Yah Hudah and in the outways of Yeru Shalem that are desolated - without humanity and without settler and without animal,

²² Behold, I misvah - an oracle of Yah Veh and return them to this city; and they fight against it and capture it and burn it with fire: and I give the cities of Yah Hudah a desolation without a settler.

²² And Yah Veh can no longer bear at the face of the evil of your exploits - and at the face of the abhorrences you worked; so your land is a parched area and a desolation and an abasement without a settler, as this day.

¹⁷ Yisra El is a scattered lamb; the lions drive him away: first the sovereign of Ashshur devours him; and last this Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel craunches his bones.

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:

¹⁴ For I am to Ephrayim as a roaring lion and as a whelp to the house of Yah Hudah: I - I tear and go away; I bear away; and no one rescues:

¹⁰ They walk after Yah Veh; he roars as a lion: when he roars, the sons from the seaward tremble:

⁷ And I am to them as a roaring lion: as a leopard by the way I observe them: ⁸ I meet them as a bear bereaved and rip the treasure of their heart; and there I devour them as a roaring lion: as the wild live being of the field, split them.

⁴ Roars a lion in the forest, when he has no prey? Gives a whelp his voice from his habitation unless he captures?

⁸ The lion roars, who awes not? Adonay Yah Veh words, who prophesies not?

¹² Thus says Yah Veh: As the tender rescues from the mouth of the lion two legs or a piece of an ear, thus are the sons of Yisra El rescued who settle in Shomeron in the edge of a bed; and in Dammeseq in a bedstead.

¹¹ Where is the habitation of the lions? And the pasture of the whelps? Where walks the lion? The roaring lion? And the whelp of the lion? And no one trembles?

¹⁸ Even their silver, even their gold cannot rescue them in the day of the wrath of Yah Veh; and in the fire of his jealousy consumes the whole land: for he even works a hasty final finish of all who settle in the land.

⁵ Ho to the settlers of the sea boundary - the goyim of the Kerethiym! the word of Yah Veh is against you; O Kenaan, the land of the Peleshethiym: I even destroy you, without settler.

⁶ I cut off the goyim; desolate their corners: I parch their outways so no one passes by: destroy their cities - without man; without settler.

²⁰ And of Gad he says, Blessed by him who widens is Gad: he tabernacles as a lion and tears the arm - yes, the scalp:

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.

³³ And Paroh Nechoh binds him at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he not reign in Yeru Shalem; and gives a penalty on the land - a hundred rounds of silver and a round of gold.

⁶ from the sole of the foot to the head there is no integrity therein: - wounds and lashes and dripping wounds - neither squeezed nor bound; nor tenderized with ointment. ⁷ Your land, a desolation; your cities, burned with fire: your soil, strangers devour in your presence - a desolation overthrown by strangers.

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.

¹³ The governors of Soan become folly; the governors of Noph become deceived; they also stray the Misrayim - the chiefs of her scions.

¹
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! 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: 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.

HO TO THEM WHO LOOK NOT UPON THE HOLY ONE
Ho to them who descend to Misrayim for help; and lean on horses and confide in chariots because they are many; and in cavalry because they are mighty mighty; and neither look to the Holy One of Yisra El nor seek Yah Veh. ² Yet he also is wise and brings evil and turns not aside his words: but rises against the house of the vilifiers, and against the help of them who work mischief. 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 And they come to the land of Misrayim: for they hearken not to the voice of Yah Veh: thus they come to Tachpanches. ⁸ And so be the word of Yah Veh to Yirme Yah in Tachpanches, saying, ⁹ Take great stones in your hand, and hide them in the cement in the brickkiln at the portal of the house of Paroh in Tachpanches in the eyes of the men of Yah Hudah;

¹
WARNING CONCERNING IDOLATRY
And so be the word to Yirme Yah concerning all the Yah Hudiym who settle in the land of Misrayim - who settle at Migdol and at Tachpanches and at Noph and in the land of Pathros, saying,

¹⁴ Tell it in Misrayim and have them hear in Migdol; and have them hear in Noph and in Tachpanches! Say, Stand fast and prepare! For the sword consumes all around you!

¹⁹ O you daughter settling in Misrayim, work vessels for yourself to go into exile: for Noph becomes desolate and burns without a settler:

¹³ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: And I destroy the idols and I shabbathize their idols from Noph; and there is no more a hierarch of the land of Misrayim: and I give a fear in the land of Misrayim:

¹⁶ and I set fire in Misrayim: in writhing, sin writhes, and No rips apart, and Noph tribulates daily.

¹⁵ and if you spurn my statutes or if your soul loathes my judgments; so that you work not all my misvoth to break my covenant ¹⁶ - I also work this to you: I visit terror over you - emaciation and the burning ague to finish off the eyes; and moping of soul: and you seed your seed in vain for your enemies to eat. ¹⁷ And I give my face against you, that you become smitten at the face of your enemies: that they who hate you subjugate you; and that you flee when none pursues you. ¹⁸ And if you yet for all this hearken not to me I add to discipline you seven times for your sins: ¹⁹ and I break the pomp of your strength; and I give your heavens as iron and your earth as copper: ²⁰ and your force consumes in vain: neither your land gives her produce nor the trees of the land give their fruits. ²¹ And if you walk contrary to me and hearken not to me; I add seven strokes on you according to your sins: ²² and I send live beings of the field among you to bereave you and cut your animals and diminish you and desolate your ways. ²³ And if by these, you are not disciplined by me, and walk contrary to me, ²⁴ then I also walk contrary to you and smite you yet seven for your sins: 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: ²⁶ and in breaking the rod of your bread, ten women bake your bread in one oven and they restore your bread by weight: and you eat and satiate not. ²⁷ And if for all this, you hearken not to me and walk contrary to me; ²⁸ then I also walk contrary to you in fury; and I - yes, I discipline you seven for your sins: ²⁹ and you eat the flesh of your sons and you eat the flesh of your daughters. ³⁰ And I destroy your bamahs and cut down your sun icons and give your carcases on the carcases of your idols that my soul loathe you: ³¹ and I give your cities as parched areas and desolate your holies and I scent not your scent of rest: ³² and I desolate the land and desolate your enemies who settle therein: ³³ and I scatter you among the goyim and draw a sword after you: and desolate your land and parch your cities. ³⁴ Then the land is pleased in her shabbaths as long as it desolates; with you in the land of your enemies; then the land shabbathizes and is pleased in her shabbaths: ³⁵ as long as it desolates, it shabbathizes; because it shabbathizes not in your shabbaths when you settle there. 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: ³⁷ and they falter - man to brother as at the face of a sword when none pursues: and you have no resistance at the face of your enemies: ³⁸ and you destruct among the goyim and the land of your enemies eats you: ³⁹ and those of you who survive pine away in their perversity in the lands of your enemies; and also in the perversities of their fathers they pine away with them. ⁴⁰
THE REWARD FOR WRINGING HANDS
And if they wring hands for their perversity and the perversity of their fathers, and the treason they treason against me and also for walking contrary to me; ⁴¹ and that I also, in walking contrary to them bring them into the land of their enemies - if they humble their uncircumcised hearts; and they then be pleased in the punishment of their perversity ⁴² - then I remember my covenant with Yaaqov and also my covenant with Yischaq and also my covenant with Abraham I remember - and I remember the land. ⁴³ For they forsake the land and are pleased in her shabbaths as she lies desolate without them: and they are pleased in their perversity: because - even because they spurn my judgments and because their soul loathes my statutes. ⁴⁴ And yes, for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I neither spurn them nor loathe them to finish them off - to break my covenant with them: for I - Yah Veh their Elohim. ⁴⁵ But I, for their sakes, remember the covenant of their first, whom I brought from the land of Misrayim in the eyes of the goyim, that I become their Elohim: I - Yah Veh. ⁴⁶ These are the statutes and judgments and torahs Yah Veh gave between him and between the sons of Yisra El in mount Sinay by the hand of Mosheh.

²³ And if you work not so, behold, you sin against Yah Veh: and perceive that your sin finds you out.

¹⁵
THE CURSINGS OF DISOBEDIENCE And so be it, if you hearken not to the voice of Yah Veh your Elohim - to guard to work all his misvoth and his statutes which I misvah you this day, that all these abasements come on you and overtake you: ¹⁶ you, cursed in the city and you, cursed in the field: ¹⁷ cursed, your basket and your doughboard. ¹⁸ cursed, the fruit of your belly and the fruit of your soil; the fetus of your yoke and the riches of your flocks: ¹⁹ cursed in your coming and cursed in your going. ²⁰ Yah Veh sends on you cursing, confusion and rebuke, in all you spread your hand to work, until you become desolated and until you suddenly destruct at the face of the evil of your exploits whereby you forsake me. ²¹ Yah Veh adheres the pestilence to you, until he finishes you off from the soil you go to possess. ²² Yah Veh smites you with an emaciation and with a fever and with an inflammation and with a fevered fever and with the sword and with blasting and with palegreen; and they pursue you until you destruct: ²³ and your heavens over your head become copper and the earth under you becomes iron. ²⁴ Yah Veh gives the rain of your land as powder and dust: to descend on you from the heavens until you desolate: ²⁵ Yah Veh gives you, smitten at the face of your enemies: you go against them one way and flee their face seven ways: - removed into all the sovereigndoms of the earth. ²⁶ And your carcase becomes food for all flyers of the heavens and for the animals of the earth and no man trembles them. ²⁷ Yah Veh smites you with the ulcer of Misrayim and with the hemorrhoids and with the scurvy and with the itch whereof you cannot be healed. ²⁸ Yah Veh smites you with insanity and blindness and consternation of heart: ²⁹ and at noon, you grope in darkness as the blind grope; and you prosper not in your ways: and you become only oppressed and stripped all days and no man saves you. ³⁰ You betroth a woman and another man rapes her; you build a house and you settle not therein; you plant a vineyard and pluck not thereof: ³¹ your ox, slaughtered in front of your eyes and you not eat thereof; your he burro, stripped at your face - never to return to you; your flocks, given to your enemies and no one saves them: ³² your sons and your daughters, given to another people; and your eyes see, and fail for them all the day long; and there is no el in your hand. ³³ The fruit of your soil and all your labours, eaten by a people you know not; and you become only oppressed and crushed all days: ³⁴ so that you become insane because of the visage your eyes see. ³⁵ Yah Veh smites you in the knees and in the legs, with an evil ulcer that cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot to your scalp: ³⁶ Yah Veh carries you and the sovereign you raise over you, to a goyim whom neither you nor your fathers know; and there you serve other elohim - timber and stone. ³⁷ And you become a desolation, a proverb and a gibe, among all people Yah Veh drives you. ³⁸ You carry much seed to the field but ingather little; for the locust consumes it: ³⁹ you plant vineyards and serve them, but neither drink the wine nor gather the grapes; for the maggots eat them: ⁴⁰ you have olives throughout all your borders, but you anoint not with the oil; for your olive slips: ⁴¹ you birth sons and daughters but enjoy them not; for they go to captivity: ⁴² all your trees and fruit of your soil the locust possesses. ⁴³ The sojourner in your midst ascends upward and upward; and you descend downward and downward. ⁴⁴ He lends to you and you lend not to him: he becomes the head and you become the tail. ⁴⁵ And all these abasements come upon you and pursue you and overtake you until you become desolated - because you hearken not to the voice of Yah Veh your Elohim - to guard his misvoth and his statutes which he misvahed you: ⁴⁶ and they become for a sign and for an omen on you and on your seed eternally: ⁴⁷ because you serve not Yah Veh your Elohim with cheerfulness and with goodness of heart for the abundance of all ⁴⁸ - you serve the enemies Yah Veh sends against you in famine and in thirst and in nakedness and in want of all: and he gives a yoke of iron upon your neck, until he desolates you: ⁴⁹ Yah Veh lifts a goyim against you from afar - from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies; a goyim whose tongue you hear not; ⁵⁰ a goyim strong of face who neither exalts the face of the aged nor grants charism to the lads: ⁵¹ and he eats the fruit of your animals and the fruit of your soil until you desolate: and no crop survives - juice or oil or the fetus of your yoke or the riches of your flocks until he destroys you: ⁵² and he tribulates you in all your portals until your high and fortified walls topple - wherein you confided, throughout all your land: and he tribulates you in all your portals throughout all the land Yah Veh your Elohim gives you: 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. ⁵⁸ If you guard not to work all the words of this torah inscribed in this scroll, to awe this honored and awesome name, YAH VEH YOUR ELOHIM; ⁵⁹ then Yah Veh makes your strokes marvelous and the strokes of your seed, great strokes and trustworthy; and evil sicknesses, trustworthy: ⁶⁰ and he restores on you all the diseases of Misrayim you feared at their face; and they adhere to you: ⁶¹ also every sickness and every stroke not inscribed in the scroll of this torah, Yah Veh ascends them on you until you desolate: ⁶² and you survive, few men in number, whereas you were as the stars of the heavens for abundance; all because you hear not the voice of Yah Veh your Elohim. 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: ⁶⁴ and Yah Veh scatters you among all people from the end of the earth to the end of the earth; and there you serve other elohim which neither you nor your fathers know - timber and stone. ⁶⁵ And among these goyim you neither blink nor rest the sole of your foot: and there Yah Veh gives you a quivering heart and failing of eyes and sorrow of soul: ⁶⁶ and suspends your life in front of you; and you fear day and night and trust not in your life: ⁶⁷ in the morning you say, O to give that it become evening! and at evening you say, O to give that it become morning! - for the fear of your heart that you fear and for the vision of your eyes that you see. ⁶⁸ And Yah Veh returns you to Misrayim with ships by the way I said to you, You see it never again: and there you sell yourselves to your enemies for servants and maids - and no man chattels you.

¹⁹ And Yah Veh sees, and scorns, because of the vexation of his sons and of his daughters.

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

¹⁹ And if you turn away and forsake my statutes and my misvoth which I give at your face and go and serve other elohim and worship them; ²⁰ then I uproot them from my soil which I gave them; and this house I hallowed for my name, I cast from my face and give it to be a proverb and a gibe among all the peoples.

⁸ Even as I see, they who plow mischief and seed toil, harvest thus.

²⁰ you led your people as a flock by the hand of Mosheh and Aharon.

⁵³ and he led them on confidently; they dreaded not; and the sea covered their enemies: ⁵⁴ he brought them to the border of his holies - this mountain which his right chattelized:

⁷ he aimed them by the straight way to go to a city of settlement.

¹⁶ to him who walked his people in the wilderness; for his mercy eternal:

⁴ Ho sinful goyim; a people heavy with perversity; a seed of vilifiers; sons - ruiners: they forsake Yah Veh; they scorn the Holy One of Yisra El; they estrange backward.

¹³ For my people work two evils: they forsake me, the fountain of living waters; and hew wells - broken wells that hold no water.

¹⁹ Your own evil disciplines you and your own apostasies reprove you: so know and see that it is evil and bitter to forsake Yah Veh your Elohim, and that my fear is not in you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth.

¹⁸ Your way and your exploitations work these to you; this is your evil; because it is bitter; because it reaches to your heart.

⁹ O Yisra El, you ruin yourself; but your help is in me.

³ - from Shichor at the face of Misrayim to the borders of Eqron northward - fabricated to the Kenaaniy: five ringleaders of the Peleshethiy; the Azzahiy and the Ashdodiy the Ashqeloniy the Gittiy and the Eqroniy - also the Avviy;

⁷ And Achaz sends angels to Tilgath Pileser sovereign of Ashshur, saying, I am your servant and your son: ascend and save me from the palm of the sovereign of Aram and from the palm of the sovereign of Yisra El who rise against me. ⁸ And Achaz takes the silver and gold found in the house of Yah Veh and in the treasures of the house of the sovereign; and sends it for a bribe to the sovereign of Ashshur: ⁹ and the sovereign of Ashshur hearkens to him: and the sovereign of Ashshur ascends against Dammeseq and apprehends it and captures it to Qir; and deathifies Resin.

²⁰ And Tilgath Pileser sovereign of Ashshur comes to him and besieges him; but strengthens him not. ²¹ For Achaz allots of the house of Yah Veh and of the house of the sovereign and of the governors and gives it to the sovereign of Ashshur: but he helps him not:

¹
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! 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: 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!

¹
HO TO THEM WHO LOOK NOT UPON THE HOLY ONE
Ho to them who descend to Misrayim for help; and lean on horses and confide in chariots because they are many; and in cavalry because they are mighty mighty; and neither look to the Holy One of Yisra El nor seek Yah Veh.

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

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. ⁹ Thus says Yah Veh: Deceive not your souls, saying, The Kesediym walk and go from us! - for they go not. ¹⁰ For though you smite all the valiant of the Kesediym who fight against you, and there survives but wounded men among them, every man rises from his tent to burn this city with fire.

¹⁷ As for us, our eyes as yet are finished off for our vain help: in our watching, we watched for a goyim that saves not:

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?

¹³ And Ephrayim sees his sickness and Yah Hudah sees his sore; and Ephrayim goes to the Ashshuri and sends to sovereign Yareb to plead: yet he can neither heal you nor cure you of your sore.

¹¹ and Ephrayim is as a deluded dove without heart: they call to Misrayim; they go to Ashshur:

¹¹ His bones lie down with him in the dust; - full of his youth. ¹² Though evil sweetens in his mouth, though he conceals it under his tongue; ¹³ though he spares it and forsakes it not; and withholds it still within his palate; ¹⁴ yet his bread in his inwards turns - the venom of asps within him. ¹⁵ He swallows valuables and vomits them; El dispossess them from his belly; ¹⁶ he sucks the rosh of asps the tongue of the hisser slaughters him;

¹ To His Eminence; by David the servant of Yah Veh. The rebellion of the wicked oracles within my heart; the dread of Elohim is not in front of his eyes:

³¹ they eat of the fruit of their own way and satiate with their own counsels:

²² His own perversities capture the wicked - upheld by the cords of his own sins:

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.

⁵ And now go to; I have you know what I work to my vineyard: I turn aside the hedge and burn it; and breach the wall to trample on:

⁶
THE UNTRUSTWORTHINESS OF YISRA EL
And Yah Veh says to me in the days of Yoshi Yah the sovereign, See you what apostate Yisra El works? She goes on every high mountain and under every green tree, and whores there. ⁷ And I say, after she works all these, You, return to me. - and she returns not. And her covert sister Yah Hudah sees: ⁸ and I see, when for all the causes whereby apostate Yisra El adulterized I sent her away and gave her a scroll of divorce; yet her sister Yah Hudah who deals covertly awes not, and goes and whores also.

¹¹ And Yah Veh says to me, The apostate Yisra El justifies her soul more than Yah Hudah who deals covertly. ¹² Go and call out these words northward, and say, Return, you apostate Yisra El - an oracle of Yah Veh. I fell not my face on you: for I am merciful - an oracle of Yah Veh. I guard not eternally: ¹³ only, acknowledge your perversity, that you rebel against Yah Veh your Elohim and scatter your ways to the strangers under every green tree, and hearken not to my voice - an oracle of Yah Veh. ¹⁴ Turn, O apostate sons - an oracle of Yah Veh for I am married to you: and I take you, one of a city and two of a family and I bring you to Siyon:

²² Return, you apostate sons, and I heal your apostasies. Behold, we come to you; for you are Yah Veh our Elohim.

²² Awe you not me? - an oracle of Yah Veh: Writhe you not at my face - who set the sand for the border of the sea by an eternal statute, that it not pass? And though the waves agitate, yet they prevail not? And though they roar, yet they pass not over it?

⁵ Why then turns this people of Yeru Shalem away by a perpetual apostasy? They uphold deceit; they refuse to return.

²³ And so be it, when Yah Hudiy calls out three or four leaves, he rips it with the knife of the scribe and casts it into the fire on the hearth - until all the roll consumes in the fire on the hearth: ²⁴ and they neither fear nor rip their clothes - neither the sovereign nor any of his servants who hear all these words.

¹⁶ For Yisra El rebels as a revolting heifer; now Yah Veh tends them as a lamb in an expanse:

⁵ and the pomp of Yisra El answers to his face: and Yisra El and Ephrayim falter in their perversity; Yah Hudah also falters with them.

⁷ And my people are prone to apostasy: though they call Elyon to themselves, no one at all exalts him.

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

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

¹¹ And they refuse to hearken; and give a revolting shoulder and heavy their ears that they hear not.

¹⁸ there is no awe of Elohim in front of their eyes. ^{Psalms 5:9, 10:7, 36:1, 140:3, Isaiah 59:7,8}

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;

⁸ And all the people answer together and say, All Yah Veh words, we work. And Mosheh returns the words of the people to Yah Veh:

³ And Mosheh comes and describes to the people all the words of Yah Veh and all the judgments. And all the people answer with one voice, and say, All the words Yah Veh words, we work.

¹⁴ for you prostrate to no other el: for Yah Veh, whose name is Zealous, is a zealous El:

¹⁶ and you take of their daughters to your sons and their daughters whore after their elohim and make your sons whore after their elohim.

¹³ I - Yah Veh your Elohim who brought you from the land of Misrayim that you not be their servants; and I break the yoke poles of your yoke and carry you erect.

²⁰ But Yah Veh took you and brought you from the iron furnace - even from Misrayim, to becomes his people of inheritance, as this day.

³⁴ Or has Elohim tested to go and take him a goyim from midst a goyim, by testings, by signs and by omens and by war and by a strong hand and by a spread arm and by great awesomenesses, according to all Yah Veh your Elohim worked for you in Misrayim in your eyes?

²⁷ Go near, and hear all Yah Veh our Elohim says: and you - you word to us all Yah Veh our Elohim words to you; and we hearken, and work it.

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:

¹⁵ and remember that you were a servant in the land of Misrayim; and Yah Veh your Elohim redeemed you: so I misvah you this word today.

¹⁷ You say this day for Yah Veh to become your Elohim and to walk in his ways; and to guard his statutes and his misvoth and his judgments; and to hearken to his voice.

¹⁶ And they answer Yah Shua, saying, All you misvah us, we work; and wherever you send us, we go:

²⁴ And the people say to Yah Shua, Yah Veh our Elohim we serve: and his voice we hear!

²⁶ and Yah Shua inscribes these words in the scroll of the torah of Elohim and takes a great stone and raises it there under an oak by the holies of Yah Veh.

³² and Yarob Am works a celebration in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the celebration in Yah Hudah: and he holocausts on the sacrifice altar: thus he works in Beth El sacrificing to the calves he worked: and in Beth El he stands the priests of the bamahs he worked:

⁵⁸ and they vex him with their bamahs and move him to jealousy with their sculptiles.

²¹ How the trustworthy city becomes a whore! Filled with judgment! Justness stayed overnight therein - now murderers:

⁴ For you broke the yoke of his burden and the rod of his shoulder - the scion of his exactor as in the day of Midyan.

²⁷
THE OINTMENT DESPOILS THE YOKE
And so be it, in that day, he turns aside his burden from off your shoulder and his yoke from off your neck; and the yoke despoils at the face of the ointment.

²⁵ that I break the Ashshuri in my land, and trample him upon my mountains: and turn aside his yoke from off them and turn aside his burden from off their shoulders.

⁵ heating up with elohim under every green tree? Slaughtering the children in the wadies under the clefts of the rocks? ⁶ Among the smooth stones/allotments of the wadi is your allotment; they - they are your pebble: also to them you pour a libation, you holocaust an offering. Sigh I in these? ⁷ On a lofty and lifted mountain you set your bed: also there you ascend to sacrifice sacrifice:

¹
THE WHOREDOM OF YISRA EL
Saying, If a man sends away his woman, and she goes from him, and becomes to another man, returns he to her again? In profaning, is not that land profaned? And you whore with many friends and return to me - an oracle of Yah Veh. 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.

² as their sons remember their sacrifice altars and their asherah by the green trees; by the high hills.

⁸ For so be it, in that day, - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth that I break his yoke from off your neck, and tear your bonds, and he no more serves strangers:

¹⁵ And you confide in your own beauty and whore because of your name; and pour your whoredoms on every one who passes by - to him. ¹⁶ And from your clothes, you take of the patches, and work your bamahs and whore thereon: such as neither has come, nor becomes.

²⁴ you also build an arch to yourself and work a ramah in every broadway: ²⁵ build your ramah at every head of the way so that your beauty is abhorred; and spread your feet to every one passing by and abound your whoredoms.

²⁸ And you whore with the sons of Ashshur, because you are not satisfied; yes, you whore with them, and yet you are not satisfied.

³¹ building your arch in the head of every way; and working your ramah in every broadway: and not being as a whore who ridicules a payoff;

⁴¹ and they burn your houses with fire and work judgments on you in the eyes of many women: and I shabbathize you from whoring and that you give a payoff no more.

²⁸ And I bring them into the land for which I lifted my hand to give it to them, and they see every high hill and all the thick trees; and there they sacrifice their sacrifices, and there they give the vexation of their qorban: there they also set their scent of rest and there they libate their libations.

⁵ And Oholah whores under me; and she pants after her lovers - on the neighboring Ashshuri

⁵ for their mother whores: she who conceived them shames - for she says, I go after my lovers who give me my bread and my water; my wool and my flax; my oil and my drink:

³ and I say to her, You, settle for me many days; neither whore, nor become for another man: and thus I also for you.

¹³ And now I break his yoke pole upon you, and tear away your bonds:

¹⁹ For I know him, that he misvahs his sons and his household after him and they guard the way of Yah Veh, to work justness and judgment; so that Yah Veh brings on Abraham what he words of him.

³ sojourn in this land and I AM with you and bless you; for I give all these lands to you and to your seed and I raise the oath I oathed to Abraham your father ⁴ and I abound your seed as the stars of the heavens and give all these countries to your seed: and in your seed all the goyim of the earth bless themselves ⁵ - because Abraham heard my voice and guarded my guard, my misvoth, my statutes and my torahs.

²⁸ And he says, Your name is said no more Yaaqov, but Yisra El: for you prevail with Elohim and with men - and prevail.

¹⁷ You bring them in and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance - in the establishment, O Yah Veh, which you made for you to settle in - in the Holies, O Adonay, which your hands established.

³⁷ And because he loved your fathers, he chose their seed after them and brought you out at his face with his mighty force from Misrayim;

³² For their vine is of the vine of Sedom and of the fields of Amorah: their grapes, grapes of rosh with bitter clusters:

³¹
THE FIDELITY OF YISRA EL And Yisra El serves Yah Veh all the days of Yah Shua and all the days the elders prolonged after Yah Shua - who knew all the works Yah Veh worked for Yisra El.

² how you dispossessed the goyim with your hand and planted them; how you vilified the nations and sent them out.

⁸ You pluck a vine from Misrayim; you exile the goyim and plant it.

⁶ O you seed of Abraham his servant, you sons of Yaaqov his chosen.

¹
SONG OF THE VINEYARD
I beseech, that I sing to my beloved - a song of my beloved touching his vineyard - my beloved has a vineyard in the horn of the son of oil: ² and he walls it and stones the stones; and plants with the choice, and builds a tower in the midst; and also makes a trough therein: and he awaits it to work grapes and it works stinkweeds.

⁴ What more work I to my vineyard that I worked not therein? Why, when I awaited it to work grapes, worked it stinkweeds?

⁸ And you, Yisra El - my servant, Yaaqov whom I chose, the seed of Abraham my beloved,

²¹ and all your people just - successors of the land eternally - the branch of my planting; the work of my hands; to be adorned.

³ to set to them who mourn in Siyon; to give to them adornment for ashes; the oil of rejoicing for mourning; the mantle of halal for the spirit of heaviness; and he calls them, Mighty Oaks of Justness - the planting of Yah Veh to adorn.

THE FOURTH LAMENTATION
How the gold fades - the good ore changes; - the stones of the holies poured out in the top of all the outways!

³³
THE PARABLE OF THE VINEYARD
Hear another parable: A human housedespotes, plants a vineyard and hedges it all around and digs a trough in it and builds a tower and leases it to cultivators and goes abroad:

¹
THE PARABLE OF THE VINEYARD
And he begins to word to them in parables: A human plants a vineyard and sets a hedge around it and digs a winevat and builds a tower and leases it to cultivators and goes abroad:

⁹
YAH SHUA ON THE CULTIVATORS
And he begins to word this parable to the people; A human plants a vineyard and leases it to cultivators and goes abroad for an ample time:

¹
ABIDING IN THE VINE
I AM the true vine, and my Father the cultivator.

³⁴ Is this not stored with me and sealed up among my treasures?

³⁰ If I bathe myself with snow water and cleanse my palms in purity; ³¹ yet you dip me in the pit of ruin and my own clothes abhor me.

¹⁷ you seal my rebellion in a bundle and you patch my perversity.

⁸ You set our perversities in front of you, our concealments in the light of your face.

³ If, O Yah, you regard perversities, O Adonay, who stands?

¹⁷ For my eyes are on all their ways: they neither hide from my face, nor hide their perversity in front of my eyes.

¹
THE SIN OF YAH HUDAH
The sin of Yah Hudah is engraved with a stylus of iron and with the nail of a brier - engraved on the table of their heart and on the horns of your sacrifice altars;

¹² the perversity of Ephrayim is bound; his sin is hid:

⁷ Yah Veh oaths by the pomp of Yaaqov, Surely I forget none of their works in perpetuity.

¹² And Adam says, The woman you gave me, she gave me of the tree and I ate. ¹³ And Yah Veh Elohim says to the woman, What is this you worked? And the woman says, The serpent deceived me and I ate.

¹³ And Shemu El comes to Shaul: and Shaul says to him, Blessed - you of Yah Veh: I raise the word of Yah Veh. ¹⁴ And Shemu El says, What then - this voice of the flock in my ears? And the voice of the oxen I hear?

¹⁶ The Yah Hudiym have light and cheerfulness and rejoicing and esteem.

² for he smooths it over in his own eyes only to find out his perversity is hated.

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.

¹³ He who covers his rebellions prospers not; and whoever spreads hands and forsakes is mercied.

¹² there is a generation - pure in their own eyes but not washed from their own dung:

²⁰ Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eats and wipes her mouth and says, I do no mischief.

⁵ heating up with elohim under every green tree? Slaughtering the children in the wadies under the clefts of the rocks? ⁶ Among the smooth stones/allotments of the wadi is your allotment; they - they are your pebble: also to them you pour a libation, you holocaust an offering. Sigh I in these?

³³ Why well-please you your way to seek love? So you also teach the evil ones your ways. 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. ³⁵ Yet you say, Because I am exonerated, surely his wrath turns from me. Behold, I judge you, because you say, I sin not.

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.

³¹
THE BAMAHS OF TOPHETH
And they build the bamahs of Topheth in Gay Ben Hinnom/Valley of the Son of Burning to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I neither misvahed nor ascended into my heart.

¹⁴ and walk after the warp of their own heart and after Baalim which their fathers taught them.

²² How long go you about, O you apostate daughter? for Yah Veh creates newness in the earth; a female surrounds the mighty.

¹
THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING UNTRUSTING YERU SHALEM
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ² Son of humanity, have Yeru Shalem know her abhorrences; 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: ⁵ no eye spared you, to work one of these to you - to compassion you; but you were cast out in the face of the field, to the loathing of your soul, in the day you were birthed. ⁶ And I pass you by and see you trampled in your own blood; and I say to you in your blood, Live! Yes, I say to you in your blood, Live! ⁷ I give you to abound by the myriads as the sprout of the field: and you abound and greaten; and you come with ornaments of ornaments: your breasts fashion and your hair sprouts, and you are naked and nude. ⁸ And I pass you by and see you; behold, your time is a time of loves: and I spread my wing over you and cover your nakedness: yes, I oath to you and enter a covenant with you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh and you become mine: ⁹ and I baptize you with water; yes, I throughly wash away your blood from you and I anoint you with oil: ¹⁰ and I enrobe you with embroidery and shod you with skin of badgers; and I bind you with white linen and I cover you with silk: ¹¹ and I adorn you with ornaments and I give clasps on your hands and a chain on your throat: ¹² and I give a nosering on your nostrils and earrings in your ears and a crown of adornment on your head: ¹³ and adorn you with gold and silver; and your robe is of white linen and silk and embroidery: you eat flour and honey and oil: and you are mightily beautified and you prosper into a sovereigndom: ¹⁴ and because of your beauty your name goes forth among the goyim: for it is perfect through my majesty which I set on you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. ¹⁵ And you confide in your own beauty and whore because of your name; and pour your whoredoms on every one who passes by - to him. 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. ²³ And so be it, after all your evil, - woe, woe to you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh ²⁴ you also build an arch to yourself and work a ramah in every broadway: ²⁵ build your ramah at every head of the way so that your beauty is abhorred; and spread your feet to every one passing by and abound your whoredoms. ²⁶ And you whore with the sons of Misrayim your fellow tabernaclers, great of flesh; and abound your whoredoms to vex me. ²⁷ Behold, I spread my hand over you and diminish your statute; and give you to the soul of them who hate you - the daughters of the Peleshethiym who shame over your way of intrigue. ²⁸ And you whore with the sons of Ashshur, because you are not satisfied; yes, you whore with them, and yet you are not satisfied. ²⁹ You abound your whoredom in the land of Kenaan to the Kesediym; and yet you are not satisfied with this. ³⁰ How weak your heart - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh seeing you work all these - the work of a domineering whorish woman; ³¹ building your arch in the head of every way; and working your ramah in every broadway: and not being as a whore who ridicules a payoff; ³² but as a woman who adulterizes, who takes strangers instead of her man! ³³ They give payoffs to all whores: and you give payoffs to all your lovers, and hire them to come to you from all around for your whoredom. ³⁴ And the contrary is in you of women in your whoredoms; whereas no one whores after you: and in that you give a payoff and no payoff is given to you: so you are contrary. ³⁵ So, O whore, hear the word of Yah Veh! ³⁶ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because your copper is poured, and your nakedness exposed through your whoredoms with your lovers and with all the idols of your abhorrences, and by the blood of your sons, which you give them; ³⁷ behold, so I gather all your lovers whom you pleased and all whom you loved with all whom you hated - and I gather them all around against you and expose your nakedness to them so that they see all your nakedness. ³⁸ And I judge you with judgments as adulteresses who pour blood; and I give you blood and fury and jealousy: ³⁹ and I give you into their hand: and they throw down your arch and pull down your ramahs: and they strip you of your clothes and take your instruments of adornment; and leave you naked and nude: ⁴⁰ and they ascend a congregation against you and stone you with stones and section you with their swords: ⁴¹ and they burn your houses with fire and work judgments on you in the eyes of many women: and I shabbathize you from whoring and that you give a payoff no more. ⁴² Thus I rest my fury toward you; and turn my jealousy from you: and I rest, and vex no more. ⁴³ Because you remember not the days of your youth, and quiver me in all these: behold, even I also give your way on your head - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh that you not work this intrigue above all your abhorrences. ⁴⁴ Behold, every one who proverbializes proverbs proverbializes this proverb against you, saying, As the mother, thus her daughter. ⁴⁵ You are the daughter of your mother who loathes her man and her sons; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathe their men and their sons: your mother is a Hethiy and your father an Emoriy: 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. ⁴⁷ Yet you neither walk after their ways, nor work after their abhorrences: but loathe as a trifling: in all your ways, you are ruined more than they. ⁴⁸ I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh Sedom your sister - neither she nor her daughters work as you work - you and your daughters. ⁴⁹ Behold, this is the perversity of your sister Sedom: pomp, sufficiency of bread, and the serenity of resting are in her and in her daughters, she strengthens not the hand of the humble and needy: ⁵⁰ and they lift themselves and work abhorrence at my face: and I turn them aside when I see. ⁵¹ As for Shomeron: she sins not the half of your sins; but you abound your abhorrences more than they and justify your sisters in all the abhorrences you work. ⁵² You also, who judge your sisters, bear your own shame for your sins - more abhorrent than theirs: they are justified more than you: yes you, shame also and bear your shame in that you justify your sisters. ⁵³ When I restore their captivity - the captivity of Sedom and her daughters and the captivity of Shomeron and her daughters and the captivity of your captives in their midst: ⁵⁴ that you bear your own shame and confound in all you work in that you sigh over them. ⁵⁵ When your sisters, Sedom and her daughters, return to their former estate, and Shomeron and her daughters return to their former estate, then you and your daughters return to your former estate. ⁵⁶ For your mouth reports not your sister Sedom in the day of your pomp ⁵⁷ ere your evil is exposed as at the time of reproach of the daughters of Aram and all those around her, the daughters of the Peleshethiy, who despise you all around. ⁵⁸ You bear your intrigue and your abhorrences - an oracle of Yah Veh. ⁵⁹ For thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I work with you as you work - who despise the oath to break the covenant. ⁶⁰ I remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth; and I raise to you an eternal covenant. ⁶¹ Then you remember your ways and shame - when you take your sisters - your greater and your younger: and I give them to you for daughters, - and not by your covenant: ⁶² and I raise my covenant with you; and you know, I - Yah Veh: ⁶³ so that you remember, and shame; that you not open your mouth any more at the face of your shame, when I kapar/atone for you for all you work - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

WHORING IN MISRAYIM
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ² Son of humanity, two women are the daughters of one mother, ³ and they whore in Misrayim; they whore in their youth: there they pierce their breasts and there they work the nipples of their virginity: ⁴ and their names, Oholah and Oholi Bah her sister: and they are mine; and they birth sons and daughters. As to their names: Shomeron is Oholah and Yeru Shalem Oholi Bah. 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. ²² So, O Oholi Bah, thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Behold, I waken your lovers against you, from whom you alienate your soul; and I bring them against you all around ²³ - the sons of Babel and all the Kesediym; Pekod and Shoa and Koa with all the sons of Ashshur - all youths of desire, governors and prefects, great tertiaries and called out - all riding on horses: ²⁴ and they come against you with weapons chariots and wheels; and with a congregation of people, who set shield and buckler and helmet against you all around: and I give judgment at their face to judge you according to their judgments: ²⁵ and I give my jealousy against you that they work with you in fury: they turn aside your nostrils and your ears and your posterity falls by the sword: they take your sons and your daughters and consume your posterity by the fire: ²⁶ and they strip your clothes and take your instruments of adornment: ²⁷ thus I shabbathize your whoredom from you and your intrigue from the land of Misrayim: so that you neither lift your eyes to them nor remember Misrayim any more. ²⁸ For thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Behold, I give you into the hand of whom you hate - into the hand from whom your soul alienates: ²⁹ and they work with you in hatred and take away all your labor and forsake you naked and nude: and they expose the nakedness of your whoredoms - both your intrigue and your whoredoms. ³⁰ I work these to you because you whore after the goyim; because you foul with their idols: ³¹ you walk in the way of your sister; and I give her cup into your hand. ³² Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Drink of the cup of your sister - deep and large: you are ridiculed and derided - containing an increase ³³ - filled with intoxication and grief with the cup of desolation and desolation with the cup of your sister Shomeron. ³⁴ Drink and suck out; craunch the potsherds and tear your own breasts: for I have worded - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. ³⁵ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you forget me and cast me behind your back, even thus you also bear your intrigue and your whoredoms. ³⁶ Yah Veh says to me; Son of humanity, Judge you Oholah and Oholi Bah? Tell them their abhorrences: ³⁷ that they adulterize and blood is in their hands; and they adulterize with their idols; and their sons whom they birthed to me they also pass through for fuel. ³⁸ Even yet, they work this to me: they foul my holies the same day they profane my shabbaths: ³⁹ they slaughter their sons to their idols; and the same day they come into my holies to profane: and behold, thus they work midst my house. ⁴⁰ And also, that you sent for men coming from afar, to whom you sent an angel; and behold, they come - they, for whom you baptized yourself, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with ornaments; ⁴¹ and you sit on a stately bed, and arrange a table at its face, whereon you set my incense and my oil. ⁴² And with her, a voice of a serene multitude: and with the men of the abundance of humanity, bring Sabaiym/carousers from the wilderness who give clasps on their hands and crowns of adornment on their heads. ⁴³ And I say to the one worn out in adulteries, Whore they now with her? And she with them? ⁴⁴ And they go in to her, as they go in to a woman who whores: thus they go in to Oholah and to Oholi Bah the intriguing women: ⁴⁵ and the just men judge them after the judgment of adulteresses and after the judgment of women who pour blood - because they are adulteresses and blood is in their hands. ⁴⁶ For thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I ascend a congregation on them, and give them to be removed and for plunder. ⁴⁷ And the congregation stones them with stones and cuts them with their swords; they slaughter their sons and their daughters, and burn their houses with fire. ⁴⁸ Thus I shabbathize intrigue from the land, to teach all women to not work after your intrigue. ⁴⁹ And they give your intrigue on you, and you bear the sins of your idols: and you know I - Adonay Yah Veh.

²⁹ But he wills to justify himself, and says to Yah Shua, And who is my neighbor?

¹⁹ Now we know, as much as the torah words, it speaks to those in the torah: that every mouth be sealed and all the cosmos become under judgment in front of Elohim.

⁸ whenever we say we have no sin we seduce ourselves and the truth is not in us: ⁹ whenever we profess our sins, he is trustworthy and just to forgive our sins and to purify us from all injustice: ¹⁰ whenever we say that we have not sinned we make him a liar and his word is not in us.

¹⁷ because you word, Because I am rich and enriched and need naught! - and know not that you are miserable and least mercied and poor and blind and naked: ¹⁸ I counsel you to market of me gold fired by the fire to enrich you: and white garments to array you so that you not manifest the shame of your nakedness: and anoint your eyes with poultice so that you see.

¹² For empty man disheartens, and humanity births as the colt of a wild runner.

⁵ Who releases the runner liberated? Who looses the bands of the onager? ⁶ - whose house I have set the plains and the saltland his tabernacles. ⁷ He ridicules the multitude of the city; he hears not the clamorings of the exactor; ⁸ the gleanings of the mountains is his pasture and he searches after all the green.

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

⁶ and the wild runners stand in the barrens; they gulp the wind as monsters; their eyes finish off because there is no herbage.

¹⁵ I go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their guilting and seek my face: in their tribulation they seek me early.

⁴⁸ - you serve the enemies Yah Veh sends against you in famine and in thirst and in nakedness and in want of all: and he gives a yoke of iron upon your neck, until he desolates you:

¹⁹ And so be it, he hears the words of this oath, and blesses himself in his heart, saying, I have shalom, though I walk in the warp of my heart, to scrape together the satiated with the thirsty: ²⁰ Yah Veh wills to not forgive him; for then the wrath and the jealousy of Yah Veh fumes against that man; and all the oaths inscribed in this scroll crouch upon him; and Yah Veh wipes his name from under the heavens:

¹⁶ They arouse his jealousy with strangers and with abominations they vex him:

²² and in the time of his distress he adds to treason against Yah Veh - this is that sovereign Achaz:

⁶ For you forsake your people, the house of Yaaqov, because they fill full from the east - cloudgazers like the Peleshethiym; and they clap with the children of strangers:

² at the same time, Yah Veh words by the hand of Yesha Yah the son of Amos, saying, Go and loosen the sackcloth from your loins, and pull your shoe from your foot. - and thus he works, walking naked and unshod. ³ And Yah Veh says, As my servant Yesha Yah walks naked and unshod three years for a sign and omen upon Misrayim and upon Kush; ⁴ thus the sovereign of Ashshur drives away the Misrayim prisoners and the Kushi exiles - lads and aged, naked and unshod, even with their buttocks stripped to the nakedness of Misrayim.

¹⁰ you belabor in the greatness of your way; yet you say not, I quit! You find the life of your hand; so you are not worn.

¹³ only, acknowledge your perversity, that you rebel against Yah Veh your Elohim and scatter your ways to the strangers under every green tree, and hearken not to my voice - an oracle of Yah Veh.

²² And if you say in your heart, Why confront these on me? For the greatness of your perversity your drapings are exposed and your heels violated.

¹⁰ Thus says Yah Veh to this people, Thus they love to wander; they spare not their feet: so Yah Veh is not pleased in them; now he remembers their perversity and visits their sins.

¹² And they say, I quit! For we walk after our own fabrications, and each man works the warp of his evil heart.

¹⁷ for in working, we work whatever comes from our own mouth, to incense to the sovereigness of the heavens and to libate libations to her as we worked - we and our fathers our sovereigns and our governors in the cities of Yah Hudah and in the outways of Yeru Shalem: for then we were satiated with bread and were good and saw no evil:

⁴ The tongue of the suckling adheres to his palate for thirst; the infants ask bread and no one spreads to them;

³ lest I strip her naked and set her as in the day she was birthed; and set her as a wilderness and set her as a parched land and deathify her with thirst:

²² But the father says to his servants, Bring the preeminent stole and endue him; and give a finger ring on his hand and shoes on his feet;

²⁴ And he voices out and says, Father Abraham, mercy me, and send El Azar to baptize the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I grieve in this flame.

⁴ Or disesteem you the riches of his kindness and tolerance and patience; not knowing that the kindness of Elohim leads you to repentance? ⁵ But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you treasure to yourself wrath in the day of wrath and apocalypse of the just judgment of Elohim;

²⁴ For we are saved by hope: but hope seen is not hope: for why still hope for what one sees?

⁷ since the days of our fathers we are in a great guilt - unto this day: and for our perversities, our sovereigns and our priests, are given into the hand of the sovereigns of the lands - to the sword, to captivity, and to a plunder, and to shamed face, as this day.

³² And now, our Elohim El - the great, the mighty and the awesome - who guards covenant and mercy, diminish not from your face all the travail that found us - on our sovereigns, on our governors and on our priests and on our prophets and on our fathers and on all your people since the day of the sovereigns of Ashshur to this day. ³³ And you are just in all you bring on us; for you work true but we have done wickedly: ³⁴ and our sovereigns, our governors, our priests, or our fathers, neither work your torah, nor hearken to your misvoth and your witnesses which you witness against them:

³⁰ Despise not a thief if he steals to fill his soul when he famishes; ³¹ and being found out, he shalams sevenfold; he gives all the wealth of his house.

²⁹ For they shame because of the mighty oaks you desire, and you blush for the gardens you chose.

²⁴ For shame devours the labor of our fathers from our youth - their flocks and their herds their sons and their daughters: ²⁵ we lie down in our shame, and our confusion covers us: for we sin against Yah Veh our Elohim - we and our fathers from our youth even to this day, and hearken not to the voice of Yah Veh our Elohim.

³² because of all the evil the sons of Yisra El and the sons of Yah Hudah work to vex me - they, their sovereigns, their governors, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Yah Hudah, and the settlers of Yeru Shalem:

²⁷ For was not Yisra El a ridicule to you? Was he found among thieves? For since your sufficient words, you sway for joy.

⁶ we hearkened not to your servants the prophets, who worded in your name to our sovereigns, our governors and our fathers and to all the people of the land. ⁷ O Adonay, justness to you; and shame of faces to us, as this day; to the men of Yah Hudah and to the settlers of Yeru Shalem and to all Yisra El, near and far, through all the lands you drove them, because of the treason they treasoned against you. ⁸ Adonay, shame of face to us - to our sovereigns, to our governors and to our fathers, because we sinned against you.

²¹ So what fruit had you in those whereof you are now ashamed? For the completion/shalom of those is death.

⁸ and that year they harass and crush the sons of Yisra El eighteen years - all the sons of Yisra El beyond Yarden in the land of the Emoriy in Gilad: ⁹ and the sons of Ammon pass over Yarden to fight against Yah Hudah and against Ben Yamin and against the house of Ephrayim; so that Yisra El is mightily depressed. ¹⁰ And the sons of Yisra El cry to Yah Veh, saying, We sin against you because we forsake our Elohim and serve Baalim. ¹¹ And Yah Veh says to the sons of Yisra El, By the Misrayim and by the Emoriy by the sons of Ammon and by the Peleshethiy ¹² and the Sidoniy and Amaleq and Maon you were oppressed; and you cried to me and I saved you from their hand: ¹³ and you - you forsake me and serve other elohim: so I add not to save you: ¹⁴ go and cry to the elohim you chose; have them save you in the time of your tribulation. ¹⁵ And the sons of Yisra El say to Yah Veh, We sin! Work to us whatever seems good in your eyes; only, rescue us, we beseech you, this day. ¹⁶ - and they turn aside the elohim of strangers from among them and serve Yah Veh: and his soul shortens for the toil of Yisra El.

³⁴ When he slaughters them, then they seek him - return and seek early after El; ³⁵ and they remember Elohim is their rock and El Elyon their redeemer. ³⁶ And they dupe him with their mouth and lie to him with their tongue: ³⁷ for neither is their heart established with him, nor are they trustworthy in his covenant.

¹⁶ Yah Veh, in tribulation they visit you; they pour an enchantment; your chastening is on them.

⁶ They scatter gold from the pouch and weigh silver in the beam and hire a refiner; and he works an el thereof: they prostrate; yes, they prostrate: ⁷ they bear him on the shoulder; they bear him and set him in his place and he stands; he departs not from his place: yes, one cries to him; yet he answers not - saves him not from his tribulation. ⁸ Remember this, be manly: restore heart, O you rebels.

²⁴ a wild runner discipled to the wilderness who gulps the wind at the yearning of her soul; who, in her occasion, turns her back? No one seeking her wearies themselves; in her month they find her.

¹⁷ I scatter them as with an east wind at the face of the enemy; I have them see the neck and not the face in the day of their calamity.

²³ O settler of Lebanon, who nests in the cedars, how charismatic are you when pangs come on you - the pang as in birthing!

³³ and they face their neck to me and not their face: though I taught them - starting early and teaching them, yet they hearken not to take discipline:

¹⁶ And he brings me into the inner court of the house of Yah Veh, and behold, at the portal of the manse of Yah Veh between the porch and the sacrifice altar - about twenty-five men with their backs toward the manse of Yah Veh and their faces eastward; and they prostrate eastward toward the sun.

³⁵ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you forget me and cast me behind your back, even thus you also bear your intrigue and your whoredoms.

¹⁴ and they cry not to me with their heart but howl on their beds: they sojourn for crop and juice and they turn aside against me.

¹⁸ What profit is the sculptile to the former who sculpts - or the molten, to a teacher of falsehoods, Confides the former of its form to work mute idols? 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.

³⁷ And he says, Where are their elohim? - their rock in whom they sought refuge

¹⁴ go and cry to the elohim you chose; have them save you in the time of your tribulation.

¹³ And Eli Shua says to the sovereign of Yisra El, What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father and to the prophets of your mother! And the sovereign of Yisra El says to him, No: for Yah Veh calls these three sovereigns together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.

³⁰ and the men of Babel work Sukkoth Benoth; and the men of Kuth work Nergal; and the men of Hamath work Ashima; ³¹ and the Avviy work Nibchaz and Tartaq; and the Sepharviy burn their sons in the fire to Adram Melech and Anam Melech the elohim of the Sepharvayim.

²⁰ Gather and come; draw near together, you escapees of the goyim: they who bear the timber of their sculptile, know not, and pray to an el who saves not.

² They stoop; they kneel together; they cannot rescue the burden; and their souls go into captivity.

⁷ they bear him on the shoulder; they bear him and set him in his place and he stands; he departs not from his place: yes, one cries to him; yet he answers not - saves him not from his tribulation.

¹³ for as the number of your cities are your elohim, O Yah Hudah; and as the number of the outways of Yeru Shalem, you set up sacrifice altars to the shameful - sacrifice altars to incense to Baal.

¹ Yisra El is an evacuated vine, he equates fruit to himself: as the abundance of his fruit he abounds the sacrifice altars; as the goodness of his land they make goodly monoliths:

²³ How say you, I am not fouled: I go not after Baalim? See your way in the valley; know what you worked - a swift dromedary entangling her ways;

¹
THE SEARCH FOR THE MAN WHO WORKS JUDGMENT
Flit through the outways of Yeru Shalem; and see, I beseech, and know; and seek in the broadways - if you find a man - if there be any who work judgment - who seek trustworthiness; and I forgive.

¹³ For from their least, even to their greatest, every one greedily gains to greedy gain; and from the prophet, even to the priest, every one works falsely:

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.

¹¹ Yes, all Yisra El trespassed your torah, even by turning aside to not hearken to your voice; so the oath pours on us - the oath inscribed in the torah of Mosheh the servant of Elohim, because we sinned against him.

¹⁰ And he says, In being zealous, I am zealous for Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth: for the sons of Yisra El forsook your covenant, demolished your sacrifice altars and slaughtered your prophets with the sword; and I - I only, remain; and they seek to take away my soul.

¹⁴ And he says, In being zealous, I am zealous for Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth: because the sons of Yisra El forsook your covenant, demolished your sacrifice altars and slaughtered your prophets with the sword; and I - I only, remain; and they seek to take away my soul.

²¹ And at the misvah of the sovereign they conspire against him; and stone him with stones in the court of the house of Yah Veh.

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

²⁶ and they were rebellious and rebelled against you and cast your torah behind their backs and slaughtered your prophets who witnessed against them to turn them to you: and they worked great scornings:

⁵ Why be smitten any more? You increase revolt; the whole head is sick; and the whole heart bleeds:

¹³ and the people neither turn to him who smites them, nor seek they Yah Veh Sabaoth:

³ O Yah Veh, are not your eyes on trustworthiness? you smite them, and they writhe not; you finish them off, and they refuse to take correction: they toughen their faces as a rock; they refuse to return.

²⁹ the bellows are scorched, the lead is consumed by the fire; the refiner refines in vain; for the evil are not torn away: ³⁰ Refuse silver, they are called, because Yah Veh refused them.

²⁸ and say to them, This goyim neither hearkens to the voice of Yah Veh their Elohim, nor takes discipline: trustworthiness destructs; yes, it is cut off from their mouth.

²⁰ And also, so be a man who prophesied in the name of Yah Veh - Uri Yah the son of Shema Yah of Qiryath Arim who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Yirme Yah: ²¹ and when Yah Yaqim the sovereign with all his mighty and all the governors, heard his words, the sovereign sought to deathify him: but when Uri Yah heard he awed and fled and went into Misrayim: ²² and Yah Yaqim the sovereign sent men into Misrayim - El Nathan the son of Achbor and men with him into Misrayim: ²³ and they fetched Uri Yah from Misrayim and brought him to Yah Yaqim the sovereign; who smote him with the sword and cast his carcase into the tombs of the sons of the people: ²⁴ only the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Yirme Yah, to not give him into the hand of the people to deathify him.

¹⁸ In hearing, I hear Ephrayim wagging over himself; You disciplined me - disciplined me as a calf not trained: return me, and I return; for you are Yah Veh my Elohim.

¹³ In your foulness is intrigue: because I purify you; and you purify not: you purify not from your foulness any more until I rest my fury on you.

² She hearkens not to the voice; she takes not discipline; she confides not in Yah Veh; she approaches another Elohim.

³⁵ and the cultivators take his servants; and indeed flog one and slaughter another and stone another. ³⁶ Again, he apostolizes other servants much more than the first: and they do to them likewise.

²⁹ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees! Hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the tombs of the just;

³⁴ Because of this, behold, I apostolize to you prophets and wise men and scribes: and of them, you slaughter and stake and of them, you scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city: ³⁵ so that all the just blood poured on the earth comes upon you - from the blood of just Abel - to the blood of Zechar Yah son of Berech Yah whom you murdered between the nave and the sacrifice altar. ³⁶ Amen! I word to you, All these come upon this generation. ³⁷
YAH SHUA LAMENTS OVER YERU SHALEM
O, Yeru Shalem! Yeru Shalem! - you who slaughter the prophets and stone them apostolized to you! how often I willed to gather your children together - even in the manner a hen gathers her young under her wings - and you willed not!

² and at the season he apostolizes a servant to the cultivators to take from the cultivators of the fruit of the vineyard: ³ and they take him and flog him and apostolize him away empty. ⁴ And again he apostolizes another servant to them: and they cast stones at him and strike him in the head; and apostolize him away dishonorably handled. ⁵ And again he apostolizes another: and they slaughter him - and many others; indeed flogging some and slaughtering some. ⁶ So still having one son - his wellbeloved, he finally also apostolizes him to them, wording, They respect my son. ⁷ But those cultivators say among themselves, This is the heir! Come! Slaughter him! And the inheritance becomes ours. ⁸ - and they take him and slaughter him and cast him from the vineyard.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers slaughtered them: ⁴⁸ then you witness that you well-approve the works of your fathers: for they indeed slaughtered them, and you build their tombs. ⁴⁹ Because of this also the wisdom of Elohim says, I apostolize them prophets and apostles, and of them, they slaughter and persecute: ⁵⁰ that the blood of all the prophets, poured from the foundation of the cosmos, is required of this generation ⁵¹ - from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechar Yah - who destructed between the sacrifice altar and the house: yes, I word to you, It is required of this generation.

³³ however I must walk today and tomorrow and after: for it is not acceptable that a prophet destruct from Yeru Shalem. ³⁴
THE CONCERN OF YAH SHUA OVER YERU SHALEM
O, Yeru Shalem, Yeru Shalem, who slaughters the prophets, and stones them who apostolize to you; how often I willed to gather your children together in manner as a hen her young under her wings: and you will not!

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

¹⁵ who slaughtered both Adonay Yah Shua and their own prophets and persecuted us; and they please not Elohim and are contrary to all humanity:

²⁰ And the rest of humanity - not slaughtered in these plagues repent not of the works of their hands - to not worship demons and idols of gold and silver and copper and of stone and of wood: which can neither see nor hear nor walk: ²¹ neither repent they of their murders nor of their pharmacies nor of their whoredoms nor of their thieveries.

⁹ and humanity is scorched with mega scorch: and they blaspheme the name of Elohim who has authority over these plagues: and they repent not to give him glory.

¹² lest when you eat and satiate and build goodly houses and settle; ¹³ and when your oxen and your flocks abound and your silver and your gold abound and all you have abounds; ¹⁴ and your heart lifts and you forget Yah Veh your Elohim who brought you from the land of Misrayim from the house of servants:

²⁰ and I bring them to the soil I oathed to their fathers flowing with milk and honey: and they eat and satiate and fatten and turn to the face of other elohim and serve them and scorn me and break my covenant.

¹⁵ And Yeshurun fattens and kicks: you fatten; you thicken; you fattened; then he forsakes Elohah who worked him and disgraces the Rock of his salvation.

⁷ And Nathan says to David, You are the man! Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, I anointed you sovereign over Yisra El and I rescued you from the hand of Shaul; ⁸ and I give you the house of your adoni and the women of your adoni into your bosom and give you the house of Yisra El and of Yah Hudah; and if that be too little, I had added these and those to you. ⁹ Why despise you the word of Yah Veh to work evil in his eyes? You smote Uri Yah the Hethiy with the sword and took his woman to be your woman and slaughtered him with the sword by the sons of Ammon:

¹⁰ and Azar Yah the head priest of the house of Sadoq says to him saying, Since bringing the exaltments into the house of Yah Veh, we satisfy ourselves and an abundance remains: for Yah Veh blesses his people; and this great multitude remains.

²¹ yes, forty years you sustained them in the wilderness so that they neither lacked; nor wore out their clothes nor swelled their feet. ²² And you gave them sovereigndoms and people and allotted them to the edges: and they possessed the land of Sichon and the land of the sovereign of Heshbon and the land of Og sovereign of Bashan: ²³ and you abounded their sons as the stars of the heavens; and brought them to the land, concerning which you said to their fathers, to go in to possess it: ²⁴ and the sons came in and possessed the land and you subdued at their face the settlers of the land - the Kenaaniy and gave them into their hands - with their sovereigns and the people of the land - to work with them as they pleased: ²⁵ and they captured cut off cities and a fat soil and possessed houses full of all goods, wells hewed, vineyards and oliveyards and food trees in abundance: so they ate and satisfied and fattened and pleased themselves in your great goodness:

⁴ The wicked, through lifted nostrils, seek not: Elohim is not! are all his intrigues:

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

⁹ - lest I satiate and deny you and say, Who is Yah Veh? Or lest I become dispossessed and steal and take the name of my Elohim.

¹⁹ I neither word covertly in a dark place of the earth: nor say I to the seed of Yaaqov, You seek me in waste. I Yah Veh word justness; I tell it straight.

⁵ thus says Yah Veh, What wickedness found your fathers in me, that they removed afar from me and walked after vanity and became vain? ⁶ And said not, Where is Yah Veh who ascended us from the land of Misrayim? Who carried us through the wilderness - a land of plains and of chasms - a land of parch and of the shadow of death - a land where no man passed through and where no human settled? ⁷ and she pursues her lovers and overtakes them not; and she seeks them and finds them not. And she says, I go and return to my first man; for it was better with me than at this time. ⁸ - and she knows not that I gave her crop and juice and oil; and abounded her silver and gold which they worked for Baal.

⁶ According to their pasture, they satiate; - satiate, and exalt their heart; so they forget me.

INTRODUCTION
The words of Amos, being among the branders of Teqoa, which he sees concerning Yisra El in the days of Uzzi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah; and in the days of Yarob Am the son of Yah Ash sovereign of Yisra El, two years ere the face of the quake.

⁹ The voice of Yah Veh calls to the city, and the counsellor sees your name: Hear the rod; and he who congregates it.

⁹ You are cursed with a curse: for you defraud me - this whole goyim. ¹⁰ Bring all your tithes into the treasure house, that there be prey in my house; and proof me, I beseech, herewith, says Yah Veh Sabaoth, if I not open the windows of the heavens to you and pour a blessing until you not have sufficient. ¹¹ And for your sakes, I rebuke the devourer that he neither ruin the fruits of your soil; nor your vine abort her fruit ere its time in the field, says Yah Veh Sabaoth.

⁸ Already you gluttonize; already you enrich; - reign as sovereigns apart from us: and yet indeed, O that you reign; so that we also co-reign.

¹⁵ I know your works - that you are neither cold nor hot: O that you were cold or hot. ¹⁶ So because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit you from my mouth: ¹⁷ because you word, Because I am rich and enriched and need naught! - and know not that you are miserable and least mercied and poor and blind and naked:

²² And so be it, as the camels finish drinking, the man takes a golden nosering of a bekah weight and two bracelets for her hands of ten weight of gold;

³⁰ and so be it, when he sees the nosering and bracelets on the hands of his sister and when he hears the words of Ribqah his sister, saying, Thus the man words to me; that he comes to the man; and behold, he stands by the camels at the fountain:

⁵³ and the servant brings instruments of silver and instruments of gold and clothing and gives them to Ribqah: he also gives preciousnesses to her brother and to her mother:

²⁴ You daughters of Yisra El, weep over Shaul, who enrobes you in scarlet with pleasures; who ascends ornaments of gold on your robe.

¹⁷ The wicked turn to sheol with all the goyim who forget Elohim.

¹³ Inwardly, the daughter of the sovereign is all honorable; her robe is of gold brocade ¹⁴ - brought to the sovereign in embroidery; the virgins her friends behind her - brought to you

²¹ they forgot El their saviour who worked great in Misrayim

¹⁰ Because you forgot Elohim of your salvation, and remembered not the rock of your stronghold, so you plant pleasant plants and seed with strange twigs:

¹⁰ In rejoicing, I rejoice in Yah Veh; my soul twirls in my Elohim: for he enrobes me with the clothes of salvation, he clothes me with the mantle of justness - as a bridegroom decks - as a priest with ornaments - as a bride adorns with instruments.

²¹ A voice on the barrens - hear! Weeping supplications of the sons of Yisra El: for they pervert their way and they forget Yah Veh their Elohim.

¹⁰ This evil people, who refuses to hear my words, who walk in the warp of their heart and walk after other elohim - to serve them and to prostrate to them, becomes as this girdle, prospering for naught.

²⁵ This is your pebble - the portion of your measures from me - an oracle of Yah Veh; because you forget me and confide in falsehood.

¹⁵ But my people forget me, they incense to vanity; and they have them falter in their ways from the eternal paths - to walk in paths - in a way not raised;

¹⁰ and I enrobe you with embroidery and shod you with skin of badgers; and I bind you with white linen and I cover you with silk: ¹¹ and I adorn you with ornaments and I give clasps on your hands and a chain on your throat: ¹² and I give a nosering on your nostrils and earrings in your ears and a crown of adornment on your head: ¹³ and adorn you with gold and silver; and your robe is of white linen and silk and embroidery: you eat flour and honey and oil: and you are mightily beautified and you prosper into a sovereigndom:

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.

¹⁴ And Yisra El forgets his Worker and builds manses and Yah Hudah abounds fortified cities: and I send a fire on his cities and it consumes the citadels.

³ whose cosmos is not outward - of braiding the hair and of wrapping around of gold or of enduing garments: ⁴ but that secret human of the heart in what is incorruptible - of a meek and quiet spirit which is vastly precious in the sight of Elohim. ⁵ For thus also in the old time the holy women who hoped in Elohim adorned themselves; subjugating to their own men

²
THE NEW YERU SHALEM
And I Yahn see the holy city - new Yeru Shalem descending from Elohim from the heavens prepared as a bride adorned for her man.

⁹ And Menash Sheh leads Yah Hudah and the settlers of Yeru Shalem astray; and to work evil above the goyim whom Yah Veh desolated at the face of the sons of Yisra El:

⁷ On a lofty and lifted mountain you set your bed: also there you ascend to sacrifice sacrifice: ⁸ and behind the doors and the posts you set up your remembrance: for you expose yourself from me, and ascend; you enlarge your bed and you cut with them; you love their bed where you see it: ⁹ and you stroll to the sovereign with ointment and abound your perfumes; and send your ambassadors afar off and debase yourself to sheol: ¹⁰ you belabor in the greatness of your way; yet you say not, I quit! You find the life of your hand; so you are not worn.

²⁷ Behold, I spread my hand over you and diminish your statute; and give you to the soul of them who hate you - the daughters of the Peleshethiym who shame over your way of intrigue.

⁴⁷ Yet you neither walk after their ways, nor work after their abhorrences: but loathe as a trifling: in all your ways, you are ruined more than they.

⁵¹ As for Shomeron: she sins not the half of your sins; but you abound your abhorrences more than they and justify your sisters in all the abhorrences you work. ⁵² You also, who judge your sisters, bear your own shame for your sins - more abhorrent than theirs: they are justified more than you: yes you, shame also and bear your shame in that you justify your sisters.

⁵ for their mother whores: she who conceived them shames - for she says, I go after my lovers who give me my bread and my water; my wool and my flax; my oil and my drink: ⁶ so behold, I hedge your way with thorns, and wall a wall that she not find her paths: ⁷ and she pursues her lovers and overtakes them not; and she seeks them and finds them not. And she says, I go and return to my first man; for it was better with me than at this time.

¹³ and I visit on her the days of Baalim, wherein she incenses to them; and adorns herself with her noserings and her ornaments, and goes after her lovers, and forgets me - an oracle of Yah Veh.

² If they find a thief digging; and smite him that he dies, pour no blood for him.

¹⁶ And also Menash Sheh pours innocent blood mighty aboundingly, until he fills Yeru Shalem mouth to mouth; beside his sin wherewith he had Yah Hudah sin, in working evil in the eyes of Yah Veh.

⁴ and also for the innocent blood he poured: for he filled Yeru Shalem with innocent blood; which Yah Veh willed to not forgive.

³⁷ yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons, ³⁸ and poured innocent blood - the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Kenaan: and profaned the land with blood.

⁵ heating up with elohim under every green tree? Slaughtering the children in the wadies under the clefts of the rocks?

⁷ Their feet run to evil and they hasten to pour innocent blood: their fabrications are fabrications of mischief; ravage and breaking are in their highways:

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.

⁴ because they forsake me and recognize this place; and incense therein to other elohim - whom neither they nor their fathers nor the sovereigns of Yah Hudah knew; and fill this place with the blood of innocents;

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?

³¹ And when you bear your offerings - when you pass your sons through the fire you foul yourselves with all your idols to this day: and am I inquired of by you, O house of Yisra El? - I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh I am not inquired of by you.

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;

⁹ I am pure without rebellion - covered - no perversity within me.

³ Why fast we and you see not? Why humble we our soul and you take no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast you find delight, and exact all your contortions.

⁹ So I still plead with you, says Yah Veh - an oracle of Yah Veh and with the sons of your sons, I plead.

³¹ An uproar approaches the ends of the earth; for Yah Veh has a controversy with the goyim: he judges all flesh; he gives the wicked to the sword - an oracle of Yah Veh.

⁹ For formerly apart from the torah, I lived: but when the misvah came, sin relived and I died.

¹⁶ At that time, sovereign Achaz sends to help the sovereign of Ashshur:

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

¹⁸ And now what is it to you in the way of Misrayim to drink the waters of Shichor? Or what is it to you in the way of Ashshur to drink the waters of the river?

³³ Why well-please you your way to seek love? So you also teach the evil ones your ways.

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:

⁶ we gave a hand to the Misrayim - to Ashshuriym, to satisfy with bread;

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.

⁶ also it is borne to Ashshur as an offering to sovereign Yareb to plead: Ephrayim shames and Yisra El shames of his own counsel.

¹ Ephrayim grazes on wind and pursues the easterly; every day he abounds lies and ravages: and they cut a covenant with the Ashshuri and bear oil to Misrayim.

³ Neither Ashshur saves us; nor ride we on horses: nor say we any more to the work of our hands, Our elohim: for in you the orphan is mercied.

⁴¹ And Mosheh says, Why this? You trespass the mouth of Yah Veh but it prospers not!

¹⁹ And Tamar takes ashes on her head and rips the coverall coat on her and sets her hand on her head: and in walking, walks on crying.

¹² And behold, with us - Elohim for head and his priests with blasting trumpets to blast against you. O sons of Yisra El, fight not against Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers; for you prosper not.

⁴ Without me, they kneel under the bound, and they fall under the slaughtered. For all this he turns not away his wrath, and still spreads his hand.

⁵ Thus says Yah Veh; Cursed be the mighty who confide in humanity; who set flesh as his arm; who turns his heart from Yah Veh.

⁵ and he carries Sidqi Yah to Babel and is there until I visit him - an oracle of Yah Veh though you fight with the Kesediym, you prosper not?

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? ²⁰ And I spread my net on him and apprehend him in my lure; and I bring him to Babel, and there I plead with him for the treason he treasons against me:
