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. ² And if they say, Yah Veh lives! - surely they oath falsely. 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. ⁴ And I - I say, Surely these are poor; they folly: for they know neither the way of Yah Veh nor the judgment of their Elohim. ⁵ I go to the great and word to them - for they know the way of Yah Veh and the judgment of their Elohim: surely these altogether broke the yoke; they tore the bonds. 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. ⁷ How forgive I you for this? Your sons forsake me, and oath by them who are non-elohim: when I oath them, they adulterize and troop in the whore houses: ⁸ they wander as nourished horses; every man sounds after the woman of his friend. ⁹ Visit I not for these? - an oracle of Yah Veh and avenge I not my soul on such a goyim as this? ¹⁰ You, ascend on her fortifications, and ruin; and work not a final finish: turn aside her tendrils; for they are not of Yah Veh. ¹¹ For the house of Yisra El and the house of Yah Hudah in dealing covertly, deal covertly against me - an oracle of Yah Veh. ¹² They disown Yah Veh, and say, Not him! Neither comes evil on us nor see we sword or famine: ¹³ and the prophets become wind/spirit, and the word is not in them: thus is it worked to them. ¹⁴ So thus says Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth, Because you word this word, behold, I give my words in your mouth, fire, and this people, timber, and it consumes them. ¹⁵ Behold, I bring a goyim on you from afar, O house of Yisra El, - an oracle of Yah Veh - a perennial goyim - an eternal goyim - a goyim - you neither know their tongue nor hear their word: ¹⁶ their quiver is as an open tomb; they all are mighty: ¹⁷ and they eat your harvest and your bread which your sons and your daughters eat: they eat your flocks and your herds; they eat your vines and your fig trees; they impoverish your fortified cities, wherein you confide, with the sword. ¹⁸ And even in those days, - an oracle of Yah Veh I work not a final finish with you. ¹⁹ And so be it, when you say, Why works Yah Veh our Elohim all these to us? then you say to them, As you forsook me and served strange elohim in your land, thus you serve strangers in a land that is not yours. ²⁰ Tell this in the house of Yaaqov, and have it heard in Yah Hudah, saying, ²¹ Hear this, I beseech, O foolish people, and without heart; having eyes, and seeing not; having ears, and hearing not: 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? ²³ And this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart; they turn aside and go on; ²⁴ they say not in their heart, We now awe Yah Veh our Elohim - who gives downpour - both the early and the after in his time: he guards to us the statute weeks of the harvest. ²⁵ Your perversities pervert and your sins withhold good from you: ²⁶ for wicked are found among my people: they observe, as he who weaves snares; they station a ruin, they captivate men: ²⁷ as a cage full of flyers, thus are their houses full of deceit: so they greaten and enrich; ²⁸ they fatten; they shine: yes, they overpass the words of the evil: they plead not the cause - the cause of the orphan, yet they prosper; and the judgment of the needy they judge not. ²⁹ Visit I not for these? - an oracle of Yah Veh: Avenge I not my soul on such a goyim as this? ³⁰ Desolation and horror is in the land: 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?

²³ And Abraham draws near and says, is it so that you scrape away the just with the wicked? ²⁴ Perhaps there be fifty just midst the city: is it so that you scrape away and not spare the place for the fifty just inside? ²⁵ Far be it from you to work this word, to deathify the just with the wicked: and that it be, as the just, as the wicked. Far be it from you! The Judge of all the earth, works he not judgment? ²⁶ And Yah Veh says, If I find in Sedom fifty just midst the city, then I spare all the place for their sakes. ²⁷ And Abraham answers and says, Behold, I beseech, I will to word to Adonay, I - dust and ashes: ²⁸ Perhaps there lack five of the fifty just: you - ruin the whole city for five? And he says, If I find there forty-five, I ruin not. ²⁹ And he words to him yet again and says, Perhaps there be forty found there. And he says, I work it not for sake of forty. ³⁰ And he says, I beseech, Adonay, inflame not and I word: Perhaps thirty be found there. And he says, I work not, if I find thirty there. ³¹ And he says, Behold, I beseech, I will to word to Adonay: Perhaps there be twenty found there. And he says, I ruin not for sake of twenty. ³² And he says, Oh Adonay, inflame not; and I word this time only: Perhaps ten be found there. And he says, I ruin not for sake of the ten.

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.

⁹ As for Yah Veh, - his eyes flit throughout the whole earth, strengthened in behalf of them whose heart is at shalom toward him. Herein you folly: from this time on you have wars.

¹ To His Eminence; On the Octave; A Psalm by David. Save, O Yah Veh; for the mercied decease; for the trustworthy disappear from among the sons of humanity.

³ They all turn aside, together they muddle; no one works good - no, not one.

² Elohim, from the heavens, looks down on the sons of humanity to see if there are any discerners who seek Elohim. ³ Everyone apostatizes; they are altogether muddled; no one works good - no, not one. ⁴ Know not the doers of mischief - who eat my people as they eat bread? - who call not on Elohim?

⁴ if you seek her as silver and search for her as hid treasures ⁵ - then you discern the awe of Yah Veh and find the knowledge of Elohim. ⁶ For Yah Veh gives wisdom - from his mouth knowledge and discernment:

³ she shouts at the handle of the portals - at the mouth of the city at the entry at the portals.

⁶ An abundance of humanity each calls out his own mercy; and a man of trust, who finds?

²³ Chattelize the truth; sell it not - wisdom and discipline and discernment.

² I rise; I beseech: I go about the city - in the streets and in the broadways: I seek him whom my soul loves; I seek him, but I find him not.

⁴ no one calls for justness and no one pleads for trustworthiness: they confide in waste and word vanity; they conceive toil and birth mischief:

¹⁴ and judgment removes backward and justness stands afar off: for truth falters in the broadway and straightforwardness cannot enter. ¹⁵ Yes, truth lacks; and he who turns aside from evil, spoils: and Yah Veh sees, and it is evil in his eyes that there is no judgment.

³⁰ And I seek for a man among them, to wall up the wall, and stand in the breach at my face for the land to not ruin it: and I find no one:

⁴
THE SCROLL OF DANI EL SEALED
^{cp Apocalypse 22:10} And you, O Dani El, shut the words and seal the scroll to the time of the end - many flit and knowledge abounds.

⁹ They run to and fro in the city; they run on the wall; they ascend on the houses; they enter at the windows as a thief:

¹² and they wander from sea to sea and from the north even to the rising; and they flit to seek the word of Yah Veh and find not.

¹
WOE IS YISRA EL
Woe is me! As the ingathering of the summer fruits; as the gleanings of the crop; there is no cluster to eat: my soul desires the firstling fruit: ² the merciful destruct from the earth; and no one among humanity is straight: they all lurk for blood; every man hunts his brother with a net

⁴ and says to him, Run! Word to yonder lad, saying, Yeru Shalem settles the suburbs because of the abundance of humanity and animals midst her:

²¹ So that servant comes, and evangelizes these to his adoni. So, being wroth, the housedespotes says to his servant, Go quickly into the broadways and streets of the city and bring in the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind!

¹⁰ and in all delusion of injustice in them who destruct: for they receive not the love of the truth to save them.

¹²
ON OATHING BY THE NAME OF YAH VEH
Neither oath by my name falsely, nor profane the name of your Elohim: I - Yah Veh.

¹
THE HARDNESS OF YISRA EL
Hear this, O house of Yaaqov - called by the name of Yisra El coming from the waters of Yah Hudah; who oaths by the name of Yah Veh and memorializes Elohim of Yisra El - neither in truth, nor in justness.

² and you oath, Yah Veh lives! - in truth, in judgment and in justness: and the goyim bless themselves in him and in him they halal.

⁹ you steal, murder, and adulterize, and oath falsely and incense to Baal; and walk after other elohim whom you know not:

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

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

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

³ And he says to me, This is the oath going over the face of the whole earth: for every one who steals is exonerated as on this side, thus; and every one who oaths is exonerated as on that side, thus. ⁴ I bring it forth - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth and it enters into the house of the thief and into his house who oaths falsely by my name: and it stays overnight midst his house and finishs it off with the timber and the stones. THE EPHAH

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

¹⁰ for whoremongers, for homosexuals, for men subduers, for liars, for perjurers; and if any other that is adverse to sound doctrine,

⁵ having a form of reverence but denying the dynamis thereof; - from such turn away.

¹⁶ They profess to know Elohim; but in works they deny: being abominable and distrusting and disapproved to every good work.

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

⁴ Yah Veh is in his holy manse, the throne of Yah Veh is in the heavens; his eyes see; his eyelids proof the sons of humanity. ⁵ Yah Veh proofs the just; and the wicked who love violence his soul hates. ⁶ On the wicked he rains snares - fire and sulphur and a raging wind/spirit; - the allotment of their cup. ⁷ For just Yah Veh loves justness; his face sees the straight.

⁶ Behold, you desire truth in the reins; and in the hidden you have me know wisdom.

²⁹ A wicked man strengthens his face; and the straight establishes his way.

¹² The eyes of Yah Veh preserve knowledge and he perverts the words of them who deal covertly.

³⁵ They smote me, and I was not sick; they hammered me, and I knew it not. When waken I? I seek it again and again.

²² Though you pestle a fool in a pestle among grits with a pestle, yet his folly turns not aside from him.

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

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

²⁵ So he pours on him the fury of his wrath and the strength of war: and it inflames him on fire round about, yet he knows it not; and it burns him, yet he sets it not to heart.

⁴ Because I know you are hard, and your neck an iron sinew and your forehead copper;

³⁰ In vain I smote your sons; they took no discipline: your own sword devoured your prophets as a ruining lion.

²⁶ yet they neither hearkened to me, nor spread their ear; and hardened their neck: they vilified above their fathers.

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.

¹⁵ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth, Elohim of Yisra El: Behold, I bring on this city and on all her towns all the evil I worded against it; because they harden their necks to not hear my words.

¹⁹ great in counsel and great in exploits: in that your eyes open on all the ways of the sons of humanity: to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his exploits:

⁷ But the house of Yisra El wills to not hearken to you; for they will to not hearken to me: for all the house of Yisra El is strong foreheaded and hardhearted. ⁸ Behold, I give your face strong alongside their faces and your forehead strong alongside their foreheads: ⁹ as a brier stronger than flint I give your forehead: neither awe them nor dismay at their faces, though they be a rebellious house.

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.

¹
HO TO YERU SHALEM
Ho to her who rebels and profanes, - the oppressing city! ² She hearkens not to the voice; she takes not discipline; she confides not in Yah Veh; she approaches another Elohim.

⁷ I say, Only, awe me; you, take discipline that I not cut off your habitation from all I visit on her: but they rise early and ruin all their exploits.

¹¹ And they refuse to hearken; and give a revolting shoulder and heavy their ears that they hear not. ¹² Yes, they set their hearts as a brier lest they hear the torah and the words Yah Veh Sabaoth sends his spirit by the hand of the former prophets: and so be it, a great rage from Yah Veh Sabaoth.

² And we perceive that the judgment of Elohim is according to truth against them who transact such.

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;

⁹ So indeed we have fathers of our flesh who discipline us and we respect them: and not much rather subjugate to the Father of spirits and live?

¹¹ when the harvests wither, they break them off: the women come, and light them: for it is a people of no understanding: so he who worked them, mercies them not, and he who formed them, grants them no charism.

⁹ By whom teaches he knowledge? And by whom discerns he the report? By those weaned from the milk - weaned from the breasts. ¹⁰ For misvah upon misvah, misvah upon misvah; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little: ¹¹ for with jeering lips and another tongue he words to this people ¹² - to whom he says, This is the rest! Rest the languid; and, This is the rest! - yet they will to not hear. ¹³ And the word of Yah Veh is to them - misvah upon misvah, misvah upon misvah; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little; so that they go and falter backward, - broken and snared and captured.

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.

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

⁷ Yes, the stork in the heavens knows her seasons; and the turtledove and the swallow and the thrush regard the time of their coming; and my people know not the judgment of Yah Veh.

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.

⁵ the blind see and the lame walk; the lepers purify and the mute hear; the dead rise and the poor are evangelized:

⁴⁸ Trust any of the archs or of the Pharisees in him? ⁴⁹ But this multitude who know not the torah are cursed.

² The sovereigns of the earth station themselves and the potentates set counsel together against Yah Veh and against his anointed. ³ Tear their bands and cast their ropes from us.

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.

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:

⁶ Behold, the hierarchs of Yisra El, every man of you, according to his arm, pours blood: ⁷ in you they abase father and mother: in your midst they worked oppression with the sojourner: in you they vex the orphan and the widow. ⁸ You despise my holies and you profane my shabbaths:

²⁵ - a conspiracy of prophets in her midst: as a roaring lion tearing the prey, they devour souls: they take the wealthy and esteemed; they abound her widows in her midst: ²⁶ her priests violate my torah and profane my holies: they neither separate between the holy and profane nor make known between the foul and the pure; and conceal their eyes from my shabbaths, and I am profaned among them. ²⁷ Her governors midst her are as wolves tearing the prey, to pour blood; to destroy souls; to greedily gain greedy gain: ²⁸ and her prophets daub them with slime - seers of vanity, divining lies to them, saying, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: when Yah Veh words not. ²⁹ The people of the land in oppressing, oppress; and in stripping, strip; and vex the humble and needy: yes, they oppress the sojourner without judgment.

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

¹
THE WORD OF YAH VEH TO YAAQOV AND YISRA EL
And I say, Hear, I beseech you, O heads of Yaaqov and you commanders of the house of Yisra El; Is it not for you to know judgment? ² - Who hate the good and love the evil? Who strip their skin from off them and their flesh from off their bones? ³ Who eat the flesh of my people? They strip their skin and they break their bones; and spread them as for the caldron and as flesh within the caldron. ⁴ Then they cry to Yah Veh, and he answers them not: he even hides his face from them at that time, as they vilify in their exploits.

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

³ to do evil with both palms well-pleasingly, the governor and the judge ask for satisfaction; and the great words of the mischief of his soul: thus they pervert. ⁴ Their best is as a thorn; straighter than a thorn hedge: the day of your watchers and your visitation comes - now their perplexity.

³ Her governors within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they craunch not until morning: ⁴ her prophets are frothy and covert men; her priests profane the holies; they violate the torah: ⁵ Yah Veh is just among her; he works not wickedness: morning by morning he gives his judgment to light; he lacks not: and the wicked shame not.

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.

²³
THE RICH AND THE SOVEREIGNDOM
So Yah Shua says to his disciples, Amen! I word to you, That a rich man difficultly enters the sovereigndom of the heavens. ²⁴ And again I word to you, It is easier for a rope ^* to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the sovereigndom of Elohim. ^{*rope: see Lamsa 25} When his disciples hear, they are extremely astonished, wording, Who then can be saved? ²⁶ But Yah Shua looks, and says, With humanity this is impossible; but with Elohim all are possible.

²⁴ And Yah Shua sees that he becomes exceeding sorrowful; and he says, How difficultly they who have riches enter the sovereigndom of Elohim!

¹⁴ But his citizens hate him and apostolize a presbytery after him, wording, We will that this one not reign over us.

²⁶ The sovereigns of the earth stand, and the archs gather together against Yah Veh and against his Messiah. ^{Psalm 2:1, 2 27} For of a truth, against your holy lad Yah Shua whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilatos with the goyim and the people of Yisra El gathered together,

⁵ Hearken, my beloved brothers, Selects not Elohim the poor of this cosmos rich in trust and heirs of the sovereigndom which he pre-evangelized to them who love him? ⁶ But you dishonor the poor. Is it not the rich who overpower you? And drag you to the judgment? ⁷ Blaspheme they not that good name by which you are called?

¹⁴ And behold, you rise in the stead of your fathers - an abundance of sinful men, to scrape together yet the fuming wrath of Yah Veh toward Yisra El.

⁶ and say, O my Elohim, I shame and blush to lift my face to thee, my Elohim: for our perversities abound over our head, and our guilt grows to the heavens:

¹⁰ And Ezra the priest rises and says to them, You - you treason and settle strange women to add to the guilt of Yisra El:

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

¹² For our rebellions abound by the myriads in front of you; and our sins answer against us: for our rebellions are with us; and as for our perversities, we know them.

¹⁵ The whelps roar on him; they give their voice; and they place his land desolate: his cities burn without settler.

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

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.

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.

¹² Who is the wise man, who discerns? And he to whom the mouth of Yah Veh words? And who tells? Why destructs the land and burns as a wilderness so that no one passes through? ¹³ And Yah Veh says, Because they forsake my torah which I gave at their face, and neither hearken to my voice nor walk therein; ¹⁴ and walk after the warp of their own heart and after Baalim which their fathers taught them.

⁷ O Yah Veh, though our perversities answer against us, work this for sake of your name: for our apostasies abound by the myriads; we sin against you.

¹⁰ And so be it, when you tell this people all these words, and they say to you, Why words Yah Veh all this great evil against us? Yes, what is our perversity? And what sin sinned we against Yah Veh our Elohim? ¹¹ Then you say to them, Because your fathers forsook me - an oracle of Yah Veh and walked after other elohim and served them and prostrated to them - forsook me and not guarded my torah: ¹² and in working, you worked vilification above your fathers; for behold, every man of you walks after the warp of his evil heart that they not hearken to me:

³⁸ He forsakes his sukkoth/brush arbor as the whelp: surely their land is desolate at the face of the fuming of the oppressor and at the face of his fuming wrath.

¹⁴ All your lovers forget you; they seek you not: for I smite you with the wound of an enemy; with the chastisement of a cruel one; for the abundance of your perversity; your sins are mighty.

²⁴ The fuming wrath of Yah Veh returns not until he so works, and until he raises the intrigue of his heart: in the latter days we discern.

¹⁹ Behold, he ascends as a lion from the pomp of Yarden against the habitation of rest of the perennial: and in a blink, I run him away from her: and who is chosen, that I oversee her? For who is like me? And who congregates with me? And who is that tender standing at my face?

⁵ Her tribulators become her heads; her enemies serenify; for Yah Veh grieves her for the abundance of her rebellions; her infants are captured at the face of the tribulator:

¹⁶ - these three men in the midst thereof, I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh they rescue neither sons nor daughters; they only are rescued, and the land becomes desolate. ¹⁷ Or, I bring a sword on that land, and say, Sword, pass through the land; so that I cut off humanity and animal from it: ¹⁸ and these three men in the midst thereof - I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh they rescue neither sons nor daughters, for they only are rescued. ¹⁹ Or, I send a pestilence into that land and pour my fury thereon in blood - to cut off humanity and animal therefrom: ²⁰ and Noach, Dani El, and Iyob are in the midst - I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh they rescue neither son nor daughter; they rescue their own souls by their justness. ²¹ For thus says Adonay Yah Veh; How much more when I send my four evil judgments on Yeru Shalem - the sword and the famine and the evil live being and the pestilence - to cut it off from humanity and animal?

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.

²⁷ Her governors midst her are as wolves tearing the prey, to pour blood; to destroy souls; to greedily gain greedy gain:

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

⁴ The first like a lion with wings of an eagle: I see until the wings are plucked; and it lifts from the earth and it raises on its feet as a man; and it is given the heart of a man.

⁶ After this I see, and behold, another like a leopard: and on its back, four wings of a flyer; the live being also having four heads; and it is given dominion.

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:

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.

¹⁸ Ho to you who desire the day of Yah Veh! To what end is it for you? The day of Yah Veh is darkness, and not light ¹⁹ - as a man flees the face of a lion and a bear meets him; or goes into the house and props his hand on the wall and a serpent bites him:

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? ¹² The lion tears enough pieces for his whelps and strangles for his lionesses; and fills his holes with prey and his habitations with prey.

⁸ with horses swifter than leopards and sharper than the evening wolves: and their cavalry spread themselves and their cavalry comes from afar; they fly as the eagle hastening to devour:

³ Her governors within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they craunch not until morning:

² And the beast I see is like a panther and his feet as of a bear and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gives him his dynamis and his throne and mega authority.

¹⁰ And the man who adulterizes with the woman of a man - who adulterizes with the woman of his friend, in deathifying, deathify the adulterer and the adulteress.

¹
YISRA EL JOINS BAAL PEOR
And Yisra El settles in Shittim and the people begin to whore with the daughters of Moab: ² and they call the people to the sacrifices of their elohim: and the people eat and prostrate to their elohim: ³ and Yisra El joins Baal Peor. And Yah Veh kindles his wrath against Yisra El;

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.

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.

⁷ that you not go among these goyim who survive among you; neither memorialize the name of their elohim nor oath by them nor serve them nor prostrate to them:

¹⁸ When you see a thief, he pleases you; and you allot with adulterers:

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

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?

¹⁹ And I say, How place I you among the sons and give you a land of desire - a splendid inheritance of the hosts of goyim? And I say, Call me, My father; and turn not away from after me.

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:

¹⁶ And so be it, if they diligently learn the ways of my people, to oath by my name - Yah Veh lives! As they taught my people to oath by Baal; thus are they built midst my people.

²⁷ I see your adulteries and your neighings - the intrigue of your whoredom and your abominations on the hills in the fields! Woe to you, O Yeru Shalem! Purify you not yourselves? Until when?

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.

²² and take an abasement from them for all the exiles of Yah Hudah in Babel, saying, Yah Veh sets you as Sidqi Yah and as Ach Ab, whom the sovereign of Babel scorched in the fire; ²³ because they worked folly in Yisra El and adulterized with the women of their friends; and worded false words in my name which I misvahed them not; - I know and witness - an oracle of Yah Veh.

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.

¹¹ And every man works abhorrence with the woman of his friend: and every man intriguingly fouls his daughter in law: and every man in you debases his sister - the daughter of his father:

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

¹³ they sacrifice on the mountain tops and incense on the hills; under oaks and poplars and terebinth because the shadow is good: so your daughters whore and your brides adulterize. ¹⁴ I neither visit on your daughters when they whore; nor your brides when they adulterize: for they separate with whores and they sacrifice with hallowed whores: a people who discerns not, falls. ¹⁵ Though you, Yisra El, whore, and you, O Yah Hudah, neither guilt nor come to Gilgal; neither ascend to Beth Aven nor oath, Yah Veh lives.

⁴ they are all adulterers - as an oven burning by the baker who shabbathizes from waking after he kneads the dough, until it leavens.

⁸ How give I you up, Ephrayim? How buckler I you, Yisra El? How give I you as Admah? How set I you as Seboim? My heart turns within me; my solaces yearn together.

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

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

⁵ and they who prostrate to the host of the heavens on the roofs; and they who prostrate and oath by Yah Veh, and oath by Malcham;

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! ³⁸ Behold, your house is forsaken to you, desolate.

⁹ Or know you not the unjust inherit not the sovereigndom of Elohim? be not seduced: neither whoremongers nor idolaters nor adulterers nor effeminate nor homosexuals

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.

⁸
CONCERNING SERVITUDE
But then indeed, when you knew not Elohim, you were in servitude to them, who by nature, are no elohim.

⁴ Marriage is honorable in all and the coition unpolluted: but Elohim judges whoremongers and adulterers.

⁴ You adulterers and adulteresses, know you not that the friendship of the cosmos is enmity with Elohim? So whoever wills to be a friend of the cosmos is seated - an enemy of Elohim.

¹
TREASURING TREASURES
Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries coming upon you. ² Your riches putrefy and your garments become motheaten: ³ your gold and silver rust; and their rust becomes a witness against you to consume your flesh as fire. You treasured in the final days. ⁴ Behold, the hire of the workers who ingathered your regions - whom you cheated, cries out: and the cries of them who harvest enter the ears of Yah Veh Sabaoth. ⁵ You indulged on the earth and luxuriated; you nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter;

⁹ no one in this house is greater than I; and he withholds naught from me except you, because you are his woman: how then work I this great evil and sin against Elohim?

¹⁴ Adulterize not.

¹⁷ Desire not the house of your friend; desire not the woman of your friend; neither his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his he burro, nor aught that is of your friend.

¹⁸ Adulterize not.

²¹ Neither desire the woman of your friend, nor desire the house of your friend - his field or his servant or his maid his ox or his he burro, or aught of your friend.

² And so be it, at evening time, David rises from his bed and walks on the roof of the house of the sovereign: and from the roof he sees a woman baptizing herself; and the woman is of mighty good visage. ³ And David sends and enquires after the woman and says, Is not this Bath Sheba the daughter of Eli Am the woman of Uri Yah the Hethiy? ⁴ And David sends angels and takes her; and she comes in to him and he lies down with her; and she hallows herself from her foulness and returns to her house.

⁹ If a woman enticed my heart or I lurked at the portal of my friend;

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

²⁷
ADULTERIZING
You heard it rhetorized to the ancients, Adulterize not: ^{Exodus 20:14, Deuteronomy 5:18 28} But I word to you, That whoever observes a woman - to pant after her already adulterizes with her in his heart.

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:

³⁵ Mine is the avenging and retribution; their foot slips in time: for the day of their calamity is near and that impending on them, hastens.

⁴³ Shout, O you goyim, with his people: for he avenges the blood of his servants and returns avengement to his tribulators and kapars/atones to his soil and to his people.

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

²⁹ Visit I not for these? - an oracle of Yah Veh: Avenge I not my soul on such a goyim as this?

⁹ Visit I them not for these? - an oracle of Yah Veh Avenge I not my soul on such a goyim as this?

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

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.

²² your perversity is consummated, O daughter of Siyon; he exiles you no more: he visits your perversity, O daughter of Edom: he exposes your sins.

¹³ Thus I finish off my wrath and I rest my fury on them, and sigh: and they know that I Yah Veh word in my zeal when I finish off my fury in them. ¹⁴ I give you for a parched area; and for a reproach among the goyim around you in the eyes of all who pass by: ¹⁵ and so be it, a reproach and a revilement, a discipline and a desolation to the goyim around you, when I work judgments in you in wrath and in fury and in reproofs of fury. I Yah Veh have worded.

⁹ And neither my eye spares, nor I compassion: I give you according to your ways and your abhorrences midst you; and you know I - Yah Veh who smites.

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.

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

² El is jealous and Yah Veh avenges; Yah Veh avenges and is a master of fury: Yah Veh avenges his tribulators and he guards for his enemies:

² and against him, Yah Veh sends troops of the Kasdiy and troops of the Aramiy and troops of the Moabiy, and troops of the sons of Ammon; and he sends them against Yah Hudah to destroy it according to the word Yah Veh worded by the hand of his servants the prophets: ³ only, this became against Yah Hudah by the mouth of Yah Veh - to turn them from his face for the sins of Menash Sheh according to all he worked; ⁴ and also for the innocent blood he poured: for he filled Yeru Shalem with innocent blood; which Yah Veh willed to not forgive.

¹⁷ And he ascends the sovereign of the Kasdiy on them who slaughters their youths with the sword in the house of their holies: and has no compassion on youth or virgin; old man or aged: he gives them all into his hand:

⁶¹ and gave his strength to captivity and his beauty into the hand of the tribulator; ⁶² he shut up his people to the sword and passed over his inheritance.

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

¹
THE BURDEN OF BABEL
The burden of Babel Yesha Yah the son of Amos saw: ² You, lift an ensign upon the barren mountain; exalt the voice to them; shake the hand, so that they go into the portals of the volunteers. ³ I misvah my hallowed; I also call my mighty for my wrath - those jumping for joy in my pomp. ⁴ The voice of a multitude in the mountains, in the likeness of a great people; an uproar of noise of the sovereigndoms of goyim who gather: Yah Veh Sabaoth musters the host of the war: ⁵ they come from a land afar - from the end of the heavens - Yah Veh and the instruments of his rage to despoil the whole land.

²⁷ For thus says Yah Veh, The whole land becomes desolate; yet I work not a final finish:

¹⁸ And even in those days, - an oracle of Yah Veh I work not a final finish with you.

⁴ You, hallow war against her! Rise! We ascend at noon! Woe to us! For the day faces away; for the shadows of the evening spread. ⁵ Rise! We ascend by night and ruin her citadels. ⁶ For thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth, Cut down trees; and pour a mound against Yeru Shalem - the city to visit; total oppression is in her midst.

⁴ Confide not in false words, saying, The manse of Yah Veh! The manse of Yah Veh! The manse of Yah Veh are they! ⁵ For if, in well-preparing, you well-prepare your ways and your exploitations; if in working, you work judgment between a man and his friend; ⁶ if you oppress not the sojourner, the orphan, and the widow, and pour not innocent blood in this place, and walk not after other elohim to your evil: ⁷ then I tabernacle you in this place in the land I gave to your fathers eternally and eternally. ⁸ Behold, you confide in false words that benefit not; ⁹ you steal, murder, and adulterize, and oath falsely and incense to Baal; and walk after other elohim whom you know not: ¹⁰ and then you come and stand at my face in this house on which my name is called, and say, We are rescued! in order to work all these abhorrences. ¹¹ Becomes this house, on which my name is called, a cave of tyrants in your eyes? Behold, even I see - an oracle of Yah Veh. ¹² But come, I beseech, to my place in Shiloh, where I tabernacled my name at the first; and see what I worked to it at the face of the evil of my people Yisra El:

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

¹¹ For I am with you - an oracle of Yah Veh to save you: though I work a final finish of all goyim where I scattered you, yet I not work a final finish of you: and I discipline you in judgment, and in exonerating, I exonerate you not.

⁸ And the Kesediym burn the house of the sovereign and the houses of the people with fire, and break down the walls of Yeru Shalem:

²⁸ Awe not, O Yaaqov my servant - an oracle of Yah Veh for I am with you; for I work a final finish of all the goyim wherever I drove you: and I work not a final finish of you and discipline you in judgment: and in exonerating, I exonerate you not.

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

⁵ And to the others he says in my ears, Pass after him through the city, and smite: neither your eye spare nor compassion: ⁶ slaughter to ruin aged and youth and virgin and toddler and women: but come not near any man on whom is the tattoo; and begin at my holies. - and they begin at the aged men at the face of the house. ⁷ And he says to them, Foul the house, and fill the courts with the pierced: Go! - and they go and smite in the city.

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

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

⁹ Then he says, Call his name Lo Ammi/Not My People: for you are not my people, and I am not yours.

⁸ Behold, the eyes of Adonay Yah Veh on the sinful sovereigndom; and I desolate it from off the face of the soil: finally, in desolating, I desolate not the house of Yaaqov - an oracle of Yah Veh.

⁷ And the sovereign hears, and he is wroth: and he sends his warriors and destroys those murderers and burns their city.

⁸ Yes, you heard not; yes, you knew not; yes, from the time your ear was not opened: for I knew that in dealing covertly, that you deal covertly - a rebel from the belly.

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. ⁹ And so be it, through the voice of her whoredom she profanes the land, and adulterizes with stones and with timber. ¹⁰ And yet for all this her sister Yah Hudah who deals covertly returns not to me with her whole heart, but in falsehood - an oracle of Yah Veh. ¹¹ And Yah Veh says to me, The apostate Yisra El justifies her soul more than Yah Hudah who deals covertly.

²⁰ Surely as a woman deals covertly with her friend, thus you deal covertly with me, O house of Yisra El - an oracle of Yah Veh.

⁷ They deal covertly against Yah Veh: for they birth strange sons: now a month consumes them with their allotments.

⁷ And they, as humanity, trespass the covenant: there they deal covertly against me.

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:

⁹ and see: if it ascends by the way of its own border to Beth Shemesh, then he works us this great evil: but if not, then we know it is not his hand that touches us: it is a happening that happens us.

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.

⁶ He says in his heart, I totter not from generation to generation - never in evil.

¹⁴ So hear the word of Yah Veh, you scornful men who reign over this people in Yeru Shalem: ¹⁵ because you say, We cut a covenant with death and with sheol we work seers: when the overflowing whip passes through, it comes not to us: for we set lies our refuge, and under falsehood we hide ourselves.

¹⁰ And I say, Aha, Adonay Yah Veh! In deceiving, you deceive this people and Yeru Shalem, saying, Shalom is yours! - whereas the sword touches to the soul.

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?

¹³ And I say, Aha! Adonay Yah Veh! Behold, the prophets say to them, You neither see the sword, nor famine; for I give you the shalom of truth in this place. ¹⁴ And Yah Veh says to me, The prophets prophesy falsehoods in my name: I neither sent them nor misvahed them nor worded to them: they prophesy to you a false vision and divination and worthlessness and the deceit of their heart.

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. ¹⁶ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: Hearken not to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you: they make you vain: they word a vision of their own heart - not from the mouth of Yah Veh. ¹⁷ In saying, they say to them who scorn me, Yah Veh words, Shalom to you! - and they say to every one who walks after the warp of his own heart, Evil comes not on you!

⁴ and I restore to this place Yechon Yah the son of Yah Yaqim sovereign of Yah Hudah with all the exiles of Yah Hudah who went into Babel - an oracle of Yah Veh for I break the yoke of the sovereign of Babel.

¹⁵ And the prophet Yirme Yah says to Hanan Yah the prophet, Hear, I beseech, Hanan Yah; Yah Veh sent you not; and you have this people confide in a falsehood: ¹⁶ so thus says Yah Veh: Behold, I send you from off the face of the soil: this year you die, because you word revolt against Yah Veh. ¹⁷ - and Hanan Yah the prophet dies that same year in the seventh month.

² that Azar Yah the son of Hosha Yah and Yah Hanan the son of Qareach and all the arrogant men say to Yirme Yah, saying, You speak falsely: Yah Veh our Elohim sent you not, saying, Go not into Misrayim to sojourn there. ³ - for Baruch the son of Neri Yah goads you against us, to give us into the hand of the Kesediym so that they put us to death and exile us to Babel.

²² Son of humanity, what is that proverb of you in the soil of Yisra El, saying, The days prolong; and every vision destructs? ²³ So tell them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I shabbathize this proverb that they no more proverbialize it as a proverb in Yisra El: but word to them, Days approach; and the word of every vision: ²⁴ for there is neither any more a vain vision nor smoothing divination within the house of Yisra El. ²⁵ For I - Yah Veh: I word; and the word I word works; it is no more drawn out: for in your days, O rebellious house, I word the word, and work it - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. ²⁶ And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ²⁷ Son of humanity, behold, the house of Yisra El says, The vision he sees is for many days, and he prophesies of the times afar off. ²⁸ So say to them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Not one of my words is drawn out any more: and the word I word works - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

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

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

⁵
THE RESPONSE OF YAH VEH
See among the goyim and look; and marvel marvellously: for he works a work in your days which you trust not though it is scribed. ⁶ For, behold, I raise the Kesediym, that bitter and hasty goyim, to walk through the expanse of the land; to possess the tabernacles which are not theirs:

² For yourselves know precisely that the day of Adonay comes thus - as a thief in the night. ³ For whenever they word, Shalom and security; then unexpected ruin stands over them - exactly as travail upon a woman having in womb; and they never no way escape.

¹⁰ Whoever trusts on the Son of Elohim has the witness in himself: whoever trusts not Elohim makes him a liar; because he trusts not in the witness Elohim witnessed concerning his Son.

²⁶ Fabricate you to reprove utterances and the sayings of a quitter as wind?

² Until when utter you these? - the sayings of your mouth so much wind?

¹³ And I say, Aha! Adonay Yah Veh! Behold, the prophets say to them, You neither see the sword, nor famine; for I give you the shalom of truth in this place.

¹⁵ So thus says Yah Veh concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, whom I sent not, yet they say, Sword and famine become not in this land; the sword and famine consumes those prophets:

¹⁸ And they say, Come! We fabricate fabrications against Yirme Yah; for neither the torah destructs from the priest nor counsel from the wise nor the word from the prophet: Come, and smite him with the tongue, and hearken not to any of his words.

⁸ for I word enough; I call out; I cry violence and ravage; because of the word of Yah Veh is a reproach to me; and a ridicule, daily. ⁹ Then I say, I neither mention him, nor word any more in his name: and it is in my heart as a burning fire restrained in my bones: and I am weary with containing and I am not able: ¹⁰ for I hear the slandering of many: terror is all around. Tell, and we tell! - all my men of shalom guard at my limping side, Perhaps he is deluded; and we prevail against him; and we take our avengement on him. ¹¹ And Yah Veh is with me as a mighty tyrant: so my pursuers falter and they prevail not: they shame mightily; for they comprehend not: their eternal confusion is not forgotten.

³ Within two years of days I return to this place all the instruments of the house of Yah Veh, that Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel took from this place and carried to Babel:

⁷ The days of visitation approach, the days of satisfaction approach; Yisra El knows: the prophet is a fool: the man of the spirit is insane, because of the abundance of your perversity and the great enmity.

¹⁰ And Eli Yah answers and words to the governor of fifty, If I am a man of Elohim, fire descends from the heavens and consumes you and your fifty. - and fire descends from the heavens and consumes him and his fifty. ¹¹ And he returns and sends him another governor of fifty with his fifty: and he answers and words to him, O man of Elohim, thus says the sovereign, Descend quickly. ¹² And Eli Yah answers and words to them, If I am a man of Elohim, fire descends from the heavens and consumes you and your fifty. - and the fire of Elohim descends from the heavens and consumes him and his fifty. ¹³ And he returns and sends a governor of the third fifty with his fifty: and the third governor of fifty ascends and comes and bows on his knees in front of Eli Yah and beseeches him and words to him, O man of Elohim, I beseech you, that my soul and the soul of these fifty, your servants, be precious in your eyes: ¹⁴ behold, fire descended from the heavens and consumed the two governors of the former fifties with their fifties: and now, O that my soul be precious in your eyes.

⁹ And Yah Veh spreads his hand, and touches my mouth: and Yah Veh says to me, Behold, I give my words in your mouth.

²⁹ Is not my word thus as a fire? - an oracle of Yah Veh and as a hammer shattering the rock?

⁵ So I hew them by the prophets; I slaughter them by the sayings of my mouth: and your judgments are as the light that comes forth.

⁶ Only, my words and my statutes which I misvahed to my servants the prophets, overtook they not your fathers? And they return and say, As Yah Veh Sabaoth intrigues to work to us, according to our ways and our exploits, works he thus with us.

⁵ And if anyone wills to injure them, fire proceeds from their mouth and consumes their enemies: and if anyone wills to injure them, thus must they be slaughtered. ^{cp 11:13 6} These have authority to shut the heavens, so that the rain rains not in the days of their prophecy: and they have authority over waters to turn them to blood and to smite the earth with all plagues as often as ever they will.

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;

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

²⁶ and he lifts an ensign to the goyim from afar, and hisses to them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they come quickly - swiftly:

¹¹ for with jeering lips and another tongue he words to this people

³ and I encamp against you as a whirler and besiege against you with a station and I raise ramparts against you

⁶ Yah Veh Sabaoth visits you with thunder and with quake and great voice; with hurricane and storm and the flame of devouring fire:

¹⁹ You see not an obstinate people - a people of a lip too deep to hear; of a deriding tongue that you understand not.

¹⁵ for behold, I call all the families of the sovereigndoms of the north - an oracle of Yah Veh and they come and they give every man his throne at the opening of the portals of Yeru Shalem and against all the walls all round and against all the cities of Yah Hudah:

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:

¹⁶ Remind the goyim; behold, that it be heard against Yeru Shalem; that guards are coming from a land afar, and give their voice against the cities of Yah Hudah.

¹¹ For the house of Yisra El and the house of Yah Hudah in dealing covertly, deal covertly against me - an oracle of Yah Veh.

²² Thus says Yah Veh, Behold, a people comes from the north land and a great goyim wakens from the flanks of the earth:

²⁶ - Misrayim and Yah Hudah and Edom and the sons of Ammon and Moab and all who chop the edges - who settle in the wilderness: for all these goyim are uncircumcised, and all the house of Yisra El are uncircumcised in the heart.

³¹ Cast from you all the rebellions you rebelled; and work yourself a new heart and a new spirit: and why die, O house of Yisra El?

³⁷ You, O sovereign, are a sovereign of sovereigns: for Elah of the heavens gives you a sovereigndom - power and empowerment and esteem: ³⁸ and everywhere the sons of men whirl; and he gives the live beings of the field and the flyers of the heavens into your hand, and has you dominate over them all: you are this head of gold.

⁷ After this I see in the night visions, and behold, a fourth live being, terrifying and burly, and exceedingly mighty, with great iron teeth: it devours and pulverizes and tramples the survivors with its feet: and it is changed from all the live beings in front of it - with ten horns.

⁵
THE RESPONSE OF YAH VEH
See among the goyim and look; and marvel marvellously: for he works a work in your days which you trust not though it is scribed. ⁶ For, behold, I raise the Kesediym, that bitter and hasty goyim, to walk through the expanse of the land; to possess the tabernacles which are not theirs: ⁷ - terrible and awesome: their judgment and their exalting proceeds from themselves: ⁸ with horses swifter than leopards and sharper than the evening wolves: and their cavalry spread themselves and their cavalry comes from afar; they fly as the eagle hastening to devour: ⁹ they all come for violence; their faces suck the easterly and they gather the captivity as the sand. ¹⁰ And they ridicule sovereigns, and potentates are their laughingstock: they ridicule every fortress; for they heap dust and capture it.

⁹ and think not to word within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I word to you, that Elohim is able to raise children to Abraham from these stones: ¹⁰ and also the axe is already laid to the root of the trees: so every tree not producing good fruit is exscinded and cast into the fire.

²¹ In the torah it is scribed, With men in other tongues and in other lips I will to speak to this people; and thus they still hear me not, words Yah Veh. ^{Isaiah 28:11, 12, Deuteronomy 28:49}

⁹ for naught is established in their mouth; their inwards are calamities; their throat is an open tomb; they smooth over with their tongue.

²⁸ whose arrows are pointened and all their bows bent; the hoofs of their horses fabricate as flint and their whirlers as a hurricane:

¹³ Their larynx is an open tomb; they deceive with their tongues; the venom of asps is under their lips;

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.

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:

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:

³ And so be it, Yisra El seeds; and the Midyan and the Amalekiy and the sons of the east ascend - ascend against them ⁴ and encamp against them and ruin the produce of the earth unto the entering Azzah; and no invigoration survives for Yisra El - neither lamb nor ox nor he burro:

⁹ for they who gather, eat and halal Yah Veh; and they who gather, drink in the courts of my holies.

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

²⁶ I see, and behold, the orchard/Karmel is a wilderness; and all the cities are pulled down at the face of Yah Veh by his fuming wrath.

¹⁶ The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: the whole land quakes at the voice of the neighing of his mighty; and they come and devour the land and the fulness thereof - the city, and they who settle therein.

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.

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.

² Adonay swallows all the folds of Yaaqov and spares not; in his fury he demolishes the fortresses of the daughter of Yah Hudah; he touches them to the earth; he profanes the sovereigndom and the governors;

⁴ so, O mountains of Yisra El, hear the word of Adonay Yah Veh; Thus says Adonay Yah Veh to the mountains and to the hills; to the reservoirs and to the valleys; to the desolated parches and to the forsaken cities - to become a plunder and derision to the survivors of the goyim all around;

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.

¹⁷ Although neither the fig tree blossoms nor produce among the vines; the labor of the olive deceives and the fields work no food; the flock is cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls: ¹⁸ yet I jump for joy in Yah Veh; I twirl in Elohim of my salvation.

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.

¹⁰ You, ascend on her fortifications, and ruin; and work not a final finish: turn aside her tendrils; for they are not of Yah Veh.

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

¹³ And so be it, in prophesying, Pelat Yah the son of Bena Yah dies and I fall on my face and cry with a loud voice, and say, Aha, Adonay Yah Veh; work you a final finish of the survivors of Yisra El?

¹ THE YISRA ELIY SURVIVORS So I word, Has Elohim shoved away his people? So be it not. For I also am an Yisra Eliy of the sperma of Abraham, of the scion of Ben Yamin. ² Elohim shoved not away his people whom he foreknew. Or perceive you not what the scripture words in Eli Yah? how he interceded to Elohim against Yisra El, wording, ³ Yah Veh, they slaughtered your prophets and dug your sacrifice altars! And also, I am behind alone and they seek my soul! ^{1 kings 19:10, 14 4} But what words the oracle to him? I leave to myself seven thousand men, who bow not the knee to Baal. ^{1 Kings 19:18 5} Thus also at this present season, there is a remnant according to the selection by charism:

²⁵ When you birth sons and sons of sons and linger in the land and ruin and make a sculptile or a manifestation and work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh your Elohim, to vex him to wrath: ²⁶ I call the heavens and earth to witness against you this day, that in destructing, you suddenly destruct from off the land whereunto you pass over Yarden to possess; that you prolong not your days thereon, but in desolating, become desolated: ²⁷ and Yah Veh scatter you among the nations and you be few men in number of the people who survive, where Yah Veh drives you. ²⁸ And there you serve elohim, the work of human hands - timber and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor scent.

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:

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

⁸ and at this house, Elyon, every one who passes by desolates and hisses and says, Why works Yah Veh thus to this land and to this house? ⁹ And they say, Because they forsook Yah Veh their Elohim, who brought their fathers from the land of Misrayim; and hold on other elohim and prostrate to them and serve them: therefore Yah Veh brings all this evil on them.

²¹ And this house, being Elyon, all who pass by, desolate and say, Why works Yah Veh thus to this land and to this house? ²² And they say, Because they forsook Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers who brought them from the land of Misrayim; and laid hold on other elohim and prostrated to them and served them: so he brings all this evil on them.

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

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

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 And so be it, when you tell this people all these words, and they say to you, Why words Yah Veh all this great evil against us? Yes, what is our perversity? And what sin sinned we against Yah Veh our Elohim? ¹¹ Then you say to them, Because your fathers forsook me - an oracle of Yah Veh and walked after other elohim and served them and prostrated to them - forsook me and not guarded my torah:

¹³ and I cast you from this land into a land that you know not - you or your fathers; and there you serve other elohim day and night; where I give you no charism.

⁸ And many goyim pass by this city and they say every man to his friend, Why works Yah Veh thus to this great city? ⁹ And they say, Because they forsook the covenant of Yah Veh their Elohim; and prostrated to other elohim and served them.

⁸ servants reign over us; no one separates us from their hand:

⁴ yet Yah Veh gives you not a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear to this day:

⁶ Deal you thus to Yah Veh, O foolish people and unwise? Is he not your father who chatteled you? Has he not worked you and established you?

⁸ Discern, you stupid among the people; and fools, when discern you?

¹⁶ Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to chattelize wisdom, when he has no heart for it?

⁹ And he says, Go, and say to this people, In hearing, you hear, and discern not; and in seeing, you see, and know not. ¹⁰ Fatten the heart of this people and burden their ears and stroke their eyes; lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and discern with their heart - and convert and heal.

¹⁸ They neither know nor discern: for he daubs their eyes from seeing, and their hearts from comprehending:

⁴ And I - I say, Surely these are poor; they folly: for they know neither the way of Yah Veh nor the judgment of their Elohim.

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

² Son of humanity, you settle midst a rebellious house, with eyes to see, and see not; ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house:

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

¹³ So I speak to them in parables: because in observing, they observe not; and hearing, they hear not; and they comprehend not. ¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled/shalamed the prophecy of Yesha Yah - which words, By hearing you hear, and no way comprehend; - and by observing you observe, and no way perceive: ¹⁵ for this people callous their heart and dull their ears from hearing and shut their eyes - lest ever they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and comprehend with their heart and turn around; and I heal them. ^{Isaiah 6:9,10}

¹⁸ Having eyes, observe you not? And having ears, hear you not? And remember you not,

⁴⁰ He blinds their eyes, and petrifies their heart; that they neither see with their eyes nor comprehend with their heart and return, and I heal them.

²⁶ wording, Go to this people, and say, Hearing you hear, and no way comprehend; and seeing you see, and no way see:

⁸ Exactly as scribed, Elohim gives them the spirit of insensitivity, eyes that they see not and ears that they hear not - to this day today. ^{Isaiah 29:10}

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;

¹⁰ he circles the face of the waters with statutes until the light and dark conclude.

¹⁰ and broke it up for my statute and set bars and doors; ¹¹ and said, Come to here, but add not: And set there the pomp of your waves?

⁷ he gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; he gives treasuries in the abyss.

³ The rivers lift, O Yah Veh; the rivers lift their voice; the rivers lift their waves: ⁴ Yah Veh in the heights is mightier than the voice of many waters - than the mighty waves of the sea.

¹ Yah Veh reigns; the people quiver: he settles on the cherubim; the earth quakes.

⁹ You set a border that they neither pass over nor turn again to cover the earth:

¹²⁰ My flesh stands on end for dread of you; and I awe your judgments.

²⁹ when he set his statute to the sea, that the waters not pass his mouth; when he prescribed the foundations of the earth;

² Why, when I came, was there no man? I called, and no one answered? In shortening, is my hand shortened, that it cannot redeem? Or have I no force to rescue? Behold, at my rebuke I parch the sea; I set the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink because there is no water and they die for thirst:

⁵ Hear the word of Yah Veh, you who tremble at his word; your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for sake of my name, say, Yah Veh is honored: and we see your cheerfulness, and they shame:

⁷ Who awes you not, O Sovereign of goyim? For it becomes you: for among all the wise of the goyim, and in all their sovereigndoms, there is no one like you.

²⁶ I set a decree in front of me, that in every dominion of my sovereigndom that men agitate and terrify in front of the Elah of Dani El: for he is the living Elah and eternally permanent; and his sovereigndom despoils not, and his dominion is to the consummation.

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

⁴ he rebukes the sea and withers and dries all the rivers: Bashan and Karmel/orchard languish; and the blossom of Lebanon languishes:

²⁸ And awe not them who slaughter the body, but are not able to slaughter the soul: but rather awe him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning.

³⁹ And he rises, and rebukes the wind, and says to the sea, Hush! Muzzle! - and the wind relaxes and there is a mega calm.

⁵ but I exemplify you whom to awe; awe him, who after he slaughters, has authority to cast into Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning; yes, I word to you, awe him.

⁴ Who never no way awes you, O Yah Veh, and glorifies your name? Because you only are merciful; because all goyim come and worship in your sight; because your judgments are manifested.

¹⁸
THE TORAH ON A REVOLTING AND REBELLIOUS SON When a man has a revolting and rebellious son, who hearkens not to the voice of his father or the voice of his mother and that, when they discipline him, he hearkens not to them:

¹⁰ Forty long years I loathed this generation and said, A people who stray in their heart; who know not my ways:

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

⁶ You, turn to him from whom the sons of Yisra El deepen revolt:

⁵ I go to the great and word to them - for they know the way of Yah Veh and the judgment of their Elohim: surely these altogether broke the yoke; they tore the bonds.

²⁸ They all are turned aside by revolters; walking with talebearers: they are copper and iron; they all are ruiners:

⁹ The heart is crooked above all and incurable: who knows it?

⁸ They eat the sin of my people, and they lift their soul on their perversity:

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

¹² See, brothers, lest there ever be in any of you an evil heart of trustlessness in departing from the living Elohim;

²² as all the days of the earth remain - seed and harvest and cold and heat and summer and winter and day and night shabbathize not.

¹³ And so be it, if in hearing, you hear the misvoth I misvah this day, to love Yah Veh your Elohim, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, ¹⁴ That I give your land rain in time - the early rain and the after rain; and you gather in your crop and your juice and your oil:

¹² Yah Veh opens his good treasure to you - the heavens to give the rain to your land in its time and to bless all the work of your hand: and you lend to many goyim and you borrow not.

¹
RAVENS SUSTAIN ELI YAH
And Eli Yah the Tisbehiy of the settlers of Gilad, says to Ach Ab, Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El lives, at whose face I stand, neither dew nor rain becomes these years, except as according to my mouth.

¹⁰ who gives rain on the face of the earth and sends waters on the face of the outways;

²⁷ for he diminishes the drops of water; they refine rain into the mist; ²⁸ which the vapours flow and drip abundantly on humanity.

³⁷ Who scribes the vapours in wisdom? Who causes the bottles of the heavens to lie down

⁸ - who covers the heavens with thick clouds; who prepares rain for the earth; who sprouts grass on the mountains;

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.

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?

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.

⁵ they ask the way to Siyon with their faces toward, Come; we join ourselves to Yah Veh in an eternal covenant, not forgotten.

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

¹
THE CALL TO YISRA EL TO RETURN TO YAH VEH
Come, and return to Yah Veh: for he tears, and he heals us; he smites, and he binds us:

²³ And twirl, you sons of Siyon; and cheer in Yah Veh your Elohim: for he gives you the early pour in justness, and he brings down the downpour for you - the early rain and the after rain in the first.

⁷ And I also - I withheld the downpour from you, when yet three months to the harvest: and I, on one city, rained; and on one city, rained not: - one allotment, rained on; and the allotment not rained on withers:

¹
THE PROVISION OF YAH VEH
Ask rain of Yah Veh in the time of the after rain! Yah Veh works lightnings and gives them downpours of downpour - herbage to every man in the field:

⁴⁵ so that you become the sons of your Father in the the heavens: for his sun rises on the evil and on the good; and rains on the just and on the unjust.

¹⁷ though he left not himself unwitnessed, in that he did good; and gave us rain from the heavens and fruitful seasons; filling our hearts with nourishment and rejoicing.

⁷
THE PAROUSIA
So be patient, brothers, until the parousia of Adonay. Behold, the cultivator awaits the precious fruit of the earth and has long patience for it until ever he takes the morning and evening rain.

¹⁷ Eli Yah was a human, like-passioned as we; and he prayed a prayer that it rain not: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. ¹⁸ And he prayed again and the heavens gave rain and the earth sprouted her fruit.

⁶ These have authority to shut the heavens, so that the rain rains not in the days of their prophecy: and they have authority over waters to turn them to blood and to smite the earth with all plagues as often as ever they will.

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:

¹⁷ Fools by way of their rebellion and by way of their perversities are humbled:

³⁴ a fruitful land to salt for the evil of them who settle therein.

² but your perversities separate between you and between your Elohim; and your sins hide his face from hearing you.

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.

³ And the showers are withheld and no after rain becomes; you have the forehead of a woman - a whore; you refuse to shame.

³⁹ Why sighs any living human - the mighty for his sins?

¹⁰ and Shaul seeks to smite David to the wall with the spear: but he bursts forth from the face of Shaul and he smites the spear into the wall: and David flees and escapes that night. ¹¹ And Shaul sends angels to the house of David to guard him - to deathify him in the morning: and Michal the woman of David tells him, saying, If you rescue not your soul tonight, tomorrow they deathify you.

⁹ he lurks in the coverts as a lion in his sukkoth/brush arbor; he lurks to catch the humble; he catches the humble drawing him into his net. ¹⁰ He crushes; he prostrates; his mighty fells the army of the unfortunates.

⁵ They strengthen themselves in an evil word; they scribe of hiding snares: they say, Who sees?

¹¹ if they say, Come with us, we lurk for blood, we hide out gratuitously for the innocent;

¹⁷ Surely the net is winnowed gratuitously in the eye of any master of wing: ¹⁸ they lurk for their own blood; they hide out for their own souls:

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.

²² Hear their cry from the houses when you bring a troop suddenly on them: for they dig a chasm to capture me and hide snares for my feet.

² You, son of humanity, Judge you? Judge you the city of blood? Yes, have her know all her abhorrences, ³ saying, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: The city pours blood in its midst, so that her time approaches: and she works idols against herself to foul herself. ⁴ You guilt in that you pour blood; and foul yourself by the idols you work; and you cause your days to approach, and approach your years: so I give you - a reproach to the goyim and a ridicule to all lands. ⁵ The near, and the far from you, all ridicule you, O polluted of name and much confused. ⁶ Behold, the hierarchs of Yisra El, every man of you, according to his arm, pours blood: ⁷ in you they abase father and mother: in your midst they worked oppression with the sojourner: in you they vex the orphan and the widow. ⁸ You despise my holies and you profane my shabbaths: ⁹ in you are men - talebearers to pour blood: and in you they eat on the mountains: in your midst they work intrigue: ¹⁰ in you they expose the nakedness of their fathers: in you they debase her who was excluded for foulness. ¹¹ And every man works abhorrence with the woman of his friend: and every man intriguingly fouls his daughter in law: and every man in you debases his sister - the daughter of his father: ¹² in you they take bribes to pour blood: you take usury and bounty and you greedily gain of your friends by extortion: and forget me - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

¹⁴ Works humanity as the fishes of the sea? As the creepers who have no sovereign over them? ¹⁵ He ascends them all with the hook; he catches them in their net and gathers them in their dragnet: so he cheers and twirls:

¹⁰ and likewise also Yaaqovos and Yahn, the sons of Zabdi, who are partakers with Shimon. And Yah Shua says to Shimon, Awe not! From now on you capture live humans.

¹¹ if they say, Come with us, we lurk for blood, we hide out gratuitously for the innocent; ¹² we swallow them alive as sheol; the integrious, as those who descend into the well; ¹³ we find all esteemed wealth; we fill our houses with spoil;

⁶ You settle midst deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me - an oracle of Yah Veh.

⁷ Kenaan - the balances of deceit are in his hand; he loves to oppress: ⁸ and Ephrayim says, Surely I enrich: I find my strength in all my labors they find no one perversity in me - sin.

⁴ Hear this, O you who gulp the needy, who shabbathize the humble of the land, ⁵ saying, When passes the new moon, to market kernels? - the shabbath, to open grain? - to lessen the ephah and greaten the shekel? - to twist the balances by deceit? ⁶ - to chattel the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of shoes? - to market kernels, the chaff of the grain?

¹² For the settler of Maroth awaits good; for evil descends from Yah Veh to the portal of Yeru Shalem.

¹⁰ Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked? And the emaciated ephah that enrages? ¹¹ Purify I them with balances of wickedness? And with the pouch of stones of deceit?

⁹ Ho to him who greedily gains an evil greedy gain to his house - to set his nest on high - to rescue himself from the palm of evil! ¹⁰ You counsel shame to your house by scraping off many people and sin against your soul. ¹¹ For the stone cries from the wall: and the crossbeam of timber answers.

² And he cries in might with a mega voice, wording, Babel the mega is fallen! Is fallen! and becomes the settlement of demons and the guardhouse of every impure spirit and a guardhouse of every impure and hateful fowl.

⁶ The tents of ravagers serenify and they who provoke El are confident; into whose hand Elohah brings.

²⁷ because he covers his face with fat and works his flanks plump; ²⁸ and he tabernacles in cut off cities and in houses which no man settles - ready to be heaped.

²³ One dies in the integrity of his bones, wholly serene and secure: ²⁴ his pails are full of milk and his bones moistened with marrow.

¹² because I rescued them who cried - the humble and the orphan and whoever had no helper. ¹³ The blessing of him who was ready to destruct came on me; and I caused the heart of the widow to shout. ¹⁴ I enrobed justness and it enrobed me; my judgment was as a mantle and a turban;

⁴ He judges the humble of the people; he saves the sons of the needy and crushes the oppressor.

⁶ So pomp chokes them; violence shrouds them as a masculine garment: ⁷ their eyes stand out with fat; they surpass the imagination of the heart:

¹² Behold, these are the wicked, - eternally serene who increase in valuables.

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

⁷⁰ their heart fattens; I - I delight in your torah:

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

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

⁶ if you oppress not the sojourner, the orphan, and the widow, and pour not innocent blood in this place, and walk not after other elohim to your evil:

¹
THE PRAYER OF YIRME YAH
You are just, O Yah Veh, O that I plead with you - word to you of judgments! Why prospers the way of the wicked? Why are all they serene - who in dealing covertly, deal covertly?

¹⁵ Reign you, because you are inflamed in cedar? Your father - ate and drank he not? Yes, he worked judgment and justness - and for his own good: ¹⁶ he pleaded the cause of the humble and needy; - and for his good: Was this not to know me? - an oracle of Yah Veh. ¹⁷ But your eyes and your heart are for naught but your greedy gain and for pouring innocent blood and for oppression and to work violence. ¹⁸ So thus says Yah Veh concerning Yah Yaqim the son of Yoshi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah: They chop not for him, saying, Ho my brother! or, Ho sister! they chop not for him, Ho adoni! or, Ho his majesty! ¹⁹ He is entombed with the tomb of a burro - dragged and cast forth beyond the portals of Yeru Shalem.

⁶ and she rebels against my judgments in wickedness more than the goyim, and my statutes more than the lands around her: for they refuse my judgments and my statutes and walk not in them. ⁷ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you multiply more than the goyim around you, and neither walk in my statutes nor work my judgments, nor work according to the judgments of the goyim around you;

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.

¹⁰ and oppress not widow and orphan, sojourner and humble; and no man of you fabricate evil against his brother in your heart.

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.

⁹ Visit I not for these? - an oracle of Yah Veh and avenge I not my soul on such a goyim as this?

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

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

¹² Astonish, O you heavens, at this, and shutter; parch mightily, says Yah Veh.

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.

¹⁰ I see horror in the house of Yisra El: - the whoredom of Ephrayim, Yisra El defiles.

²⁹ O that they were wise - to comprehend this - to discern their finality!

³ And what work you in the day of visitation and in the devastation coming from afar? To whom flee you for help? And where leave you your honor?

⁶ And the settler of this island says in that day, Behold, is our expectation thus? Where flee we for help to be rescued at the face of the sovereign of Ashshur? And how escape we?

¹⁰ who say to the seers, See not; and to the seers, See not straightforwardnesses to us; word smoothly to us; see delusions: ¹¹ you, turn aside from the way; pervert from the path; shabbathize the Holy One of Yisra El from our face.

¹⁴ The sinners in Siyon fear; trembling holds the profaners. Who among us sojourns with the consuming fire? Who among us sojourns with eternal burnings?

³⁰ And you, O ravaged, what work you? Though you enrobe yourself with scarlet, though you adorn with ornaments of gold, though you rip your eyes with stibium, you beautify yourself in vain: they who pant after you, spurn you; they seek your soul. ³¹ For I hear a voice as of stroking and the tribulation as of bursting the matrix - the voice of the daughter of Siyon sighing - who spreads her palms, Woe is me I beseech! for my soul languishes because of murderers.

¹⁴ And Yah Veh says to me, The prophets prophesy falsehoods in my name: I neither sent them nor misvahed them nor worded to them: they prophesy to you a false vision and divination and worthlessness and the deceit of their heart.

²² The wind tends all your tenders and your lovers go into captivity: surely then you shame and confound for all your evil. ²³ O settler of Lebanon, who nests in the cedars, how charismatic are you when pangs come on you - the pang as in birthing!

²⁵ I hear what the prophets say - who prophesy falsehoods in my name, saying, I dreamed! I dreamed! ²⁶ Until when is this in the heart of the prophets who prophesy falsehoods? - yes, prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

⁹ Her foulness is in her hems; she remembers not her finality: she descends marvellously; she has no one to sigh. O Yah Veh, see my humiliation; for the enemy greatens.

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

¹⁴ Stands your heart? Or are your hands strong in the days I work with you? I Yah Veh word and work:

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

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

¹⁵ PSEUDO PROPHETS But take heed of pseudo prophets who come to you in the enduement of sheep; but inwardly are rapacious wolves: ¹⁶ you know them by their fruits. Gather they grapes of thorns? Or figs of briers? ¹⁷ Even thus every good tree produces good fruit; but a putrefied tree produces evil fruit.

¹⁹ And this is the judgment: light comes into the cosmos, and men love darkness rather than light because their works are evil. ²⁰ For everyone doing evil hates the light; and comes not to the light lest his works be reproved: ²¹ but whoever does truth comes to the light, to manifest that his works are worked in Elohim.

¹³
PSEUDO APOSTLES
For such are pseudo apostles - deceitful workers, transfiguring themselves to the apostles of Messiah: ¹⁴ and no marvel; for Satan transfigures himself into an angel of light. ¹⁵ So it is not mega if his ministers also transfigure as the ministers of justness; whose completion/shalom is according to their works.

⁹ - whose parousia is after the energizing of Satan in all dynamis and signs and lying omens, ¹⁰ and in all delusion of injustice in them who destruct: for they receive not the love of the truth to save them. ¹¹ And for this cause Elohim sends them an energized seduction so that they trust a lie:

³ For the season becomes that they not tolerate sound doctrine; but after their own pantings they heap doctors to themselves who tickle their hearing; ⁴ and indeed, they turn from hearing the truth and turn to myths.

¹
PSEUDOPROPHETS AND PSEUDODOCTORS
And so be it also, pseudoprophets among the people - even as pseudodoctors become among you who surreptitiously introduce destructive heresies - even denying the Despotes who marketed them; and bring quick destruction on themselves. ² And many follow their destructive ways - who blaspheme the way of truth:
