INTRODUCTION
The word of Yah Veh being to Yah El the son of Pethu El: ² Hear this, you elders; and hearken, all you settlers of the land: becomes this in your days? Or in the days of your fathers? ³
THE LAND DESOLATED
Scribe thereof to your sons; and your sons to their sons; and their sons to another generation. ⁴ What the palmerworm leaves, the locust eats; and what the locust leaves, the cankerworm eats; and what the cankerworm leaves, the caterpiller eats. ⁵ Waken, you intoxicants, and weep; and howl, all you drinkers of wine: because the squeezed juice is cut off from your mouth. ⁶ For a goyim ascends on my land - mighty and without number: whose teeth, the teeth of a lion; and the molars of a roaring lion. ⁷ He sets my vine desolate and chips away my fig tree: in stripping, he strips and casts away; the tendrils whiten. ⁸ Lament as a virgin girt with saq for the master of her youth: ⁹ the offering and the libation is cut off from the house of Yah Veh; the priests, the ministers of Yah Veh, mourn: ¹⁰ the field is ravaged; the soil mourns; for the crop is ravaged: the juice withers; the oil languishes. ¹¹ Shame, O you cultivators! Howl, O you vinedressers! for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is destroyed. ¹² The vine withers and the fig tree languishes; - pomegranate tree, also palm tree and apple tree - all trees of the field wither: because rejoicing withers from the sons of humanity. ¹³
CALL TO REPENTANCE
Gird and mourn, you priests! Howl, you ministers of the sacrifice altar! Come, stay overnight in saq, you ministers of my Elohim: for the offering and the libation is withheld from the house of your Elohim. ¹⁴
THE DAY OF YAH VEH
Hallow a fast! Call a private assembly! Gather the elders and all the settlers of the land into the house of Yah Veh your El, and cry to Yah Veh, ¹⁵ Aha for the day! for the day of Yah Veh is nearby, and comes as a ravage from Shadday. ¹⁶ Is not the food cut off in front of our eyes? Cheerfulness and twirling from the house of our Elohim? ¹⁷ The kernels rot under their clods; the treasuries desolate; the granaries break; for the crop withers. ¹⁸ How the animals sigh! The droves of cattle perplex, because they have no pasture; yes, the droves of flocks have guilted. ¹⁹ O Yah Veh, to you I call out: for the fire consumes the folds of the wilderness; and the flame inflames all the trees of the field; ²⁰ also the animals of the field yearn to you: for the reservoirs of waters wither, and the fire consumes the folds of the wilderness.

² and so be the word of Yah Veh to him in the days of Yoshi Yah the son of Amon sovereign of Yah Hudah in the thirteenth year of his reign: ³ and so be the word of Yah Veh expressly to Yechezq El the priest the son of Buzi in the land of the Kesediym by the river Kebar: and the hand of Yah Veh is on him.

¹
THE WORD OF YAH VEH TO HOSHEA
The word of Yah Veh being to Hoshea the son of Beeri in the days of Uzzi Yah, Yah Tham, Ach Az and Yechizqi Yah, sovereigns of Yah Hudah, and in the days of Yarob Am the son of Yah Ash sovereign of Yisra El.

¹⁶ but this is that said through the prophet Yah El:

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

³² For ask, I beseech, of the first days at your face, since the day Elohim created humanity on the earth, from the end of the heavens to the end of the heavens, whether there has been such as this great word, or has been heard the like? ³³ Has a people ever heard the voice of Elohim wording from midst the fire, as you heard, and lived? ³⁴ Or has Elohim tested to go and take him a goyim from midst a goyim, by testings, by signs and by omens and by war and by a strong hand and by a spread arm and by great awesomenesses, according to all Yah Veh your Elohim worked for you in Misrayim in your eyes? ³⁵ You saw, so that you know that Yah Veh Elohim - none else beside him.

⁸ I beseech you, enquire of the first age; prepare yourself to the probing of their fathers;

¹² With the aged is wisdom; and in length of days understanding;

¹⁰ With us are both the grayed and the aged, more advanced in days than your father.

⁷ Why do the wicked live? antiquate? - yes, prevail mightily in valour?

¹ To His Eminence; A Psalm for the sons of Qorach. Hear this, all you people! Hearken, all you transcients settled in the world!

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

¹
YAH VEH JUDGES THE GOYIM
Approach, you goyim, to hear; and hearken, you nations: hear, O earth, and all its fulness; the world, and all its offspring:

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

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

¹
THE TIME OF TRIBULATION
And at that time Michah El the great governor stands - who stands for the sons of your people: and there becomes a time of tribulation, such as never became since there was a goyim until that time: and at that time your people escape - every one found inscribed in the scroll.

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

¹
THE JUDGMENT OF YAH VEH AGAINST YISRA EL
Hear this, O priests; and hearken, you house of Yisra El; and hearken, O house of the sovereign: for judgment is toward you because you become a snare on Mispeh, and a net spread over Tabor:

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

² a day of dripping darkness and of darkness; a day of clouds and of thick darkness as the dawn spread on the mountains: a great people and a mighty; neither became the like eternally nor adds to become afterward to the years of generation and generation.

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

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

¹
THE LAMENTATION OF YAH VEH AGAINST YISRA EL
Hear this word I lift against you! A lamentation, O house of Yisra El.

² Hear, all you people; hearken, O earth, and all the fulness thereof: Adonay Yah Veh witnesses against you - Adonay from his holy manse.

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?

⁹ Hear this, I beseech you, you heads of the house of Yaaqov and commanders of the house of Yisra El - who abhor judgment and pervert all straightness

⁹ Whoever has ears to hear, Hear.

²¹ for then becomes mega tribulation such as became not from the beginning of the cosmos to now, no, nor no way becomes:

⁷ Whoever has an ear, hear what the Spirit words to the ecclesiae: Whoever triumphs I give to eat of the staff of life midst the paradise of Elohim.

¹ And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Go in to Paroh: for I callous his heart and the heart of his servants so as to set these my signs in his midst: ² and that you describe in the ears of your son and of the son of your son what I exploited in Misrayim and the signs I set among them; that you know I - Yah Veh.

¹⁴ And so be it, when your son asks you on the morrow, saying, What is this? Say to him, By strength of hand Yah Veh brought us out from Misrayim, from the house of servants:

⁷ and point them out to your sons and word of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up:

⁶ to be a sign among you: so when your sons ask tomorrow, saying, What mean you by these stones? ⁷ Then you say to them, Because of the waters of Yarden being cut off at the face of the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh; when it passed over Yarden the waters of Yarden being cut off: and these stones become a memorial to the sons of Yisra El eternally.

²¹ And he says to the sons of Yisra El, saying, When your sons ask their fathers tomorrow, saying, What mean these stones? ²² - then have your sons know, saying, Yisra El passed over this Yarden on dry:

¹ To His Eminence; For the sons of Qorach: On Comprehension. We heard with our ears, O Elohim, our fathers scribed to us, the deeds you did in their days - in the former days:

¹⁸ and now that I age and grey; O Elohim, forsake me not until I tell of your arm to a generation and of your might to every one to come.

³ which we hear and know; which our fathers scribed unto us; ⁴ we conceal them not from their sons - scribing to the generation after the halals of Yah Veh: and his strength and his marvels he worked. ⁵ And he raises a witness in Yaaqov and sets a torah in Yisra El - which he misvahed our fathers to make known to their sons; ⁶ that the generation after - that the sons yet to be birthed know them; - who then rise and scribe to their sons ⁷ to set their hope in Elohim and not forget the works of El - but guard his misvoth: ⁸ and not be as their fathers - a revolting and rebellious generation - a generation that prepared not their heart - whose spirit was not trustworthy with El.

⁴ generation to generation lauds your works and tells your might:

¹⁹ The living - the living, he spreads hands to you, as I this day: the father makes known your truth to the sons.

⁴ for if you refuse to send my people away, behold, tomorrow I bring the locusts into your borders:

¹² And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Spread your hand over the land of Misrayim for the locusts to ascend on the land of Misrayim and eat every herb of the land - even all that survived the hail. ¹³ And Mosheh spreads his rod over the land of Misrayim and Yah Veh drives an east wind on the land all that day and all that night: and morning becomes and the east wind births the locusts: ¹⁴ and the locusts ascend over all the land of Misrayim and rest in all the borders of Misrayim - mighty heavy: neither at their face became such locusts as these nor after them become such: ¹⁵ for they cover the eye of the whole land so that the land darkens; and they eat every herb of the land and all the fruit of the trees which remains of the hail: and not any green remains in the trees or in the herbs of the field through all the land of Misrayim.

³⁸ You carry much seed to the field but ingather little; for the locust consumes it:

⁴² all your trees and fruit of your soil the locust possesses.

³⁷ When there is famine in the land when there is pestilence when there is blasting, pale green, locust, caterpiller; whenever their enemy tribulates them in the land of their portals; whatever plague, whatever disease;

²⁸ If famine becomes in the land; if pestilence becomes; if blasting or pale green becomes; locusts or caterpillers; if their enemies tribulate them in the land of their portals; whatever plague or whatever disease becomes:

¹³ If I restrain the heavens to not rain; or if I misvah the locusts to devour the land; or if I send pestilence among my people;

⁴⁶ he gave their produce to the caterpiller and their labor to the locust:

³⁴ He said, and the locusts and cankerworms arrived - inummerable;

⁴ and gather your spoil as the ingathering of the caterpiller: as the running about of locusts he yearns on them.

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

²⁷ Lift an ensign in the land! Blast the shophar among the goyim! Hallow the goyim against her, hearken against her the sovereigndoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; muster an officer against her; ascend the horses as the shaggy cankerworms:

²⁵ And I shalam to you the years the locust eats - the cankerworm and the caterpiller and the palmerworm - the great valiant I sent among you.

⁹ I smote you with blasting and pale green when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olives abounded; and the palmerworm devoured: yet you returned not to me - an oracle of Yah Veh.

¹
WARNING VISIONS
Thus Adonay Yah Veh shows me; and behold, he forms grubbers in the beginning of the ascending of the after growth; and behold, it is the latter growth after the shearings of the sovereign.

¹⁵ there the fire consumes you; the sword cuts you off; deviours you as the cankerworm: multiply yourself as the cankerworm; multiply yourself as the locusts. ¹⁶ You abound your merchants above the stars of the heavens: the cankerworm spreads and flies. ¹⁷ Your princes are as the locusts and your officers as the grubbing grubbers who encamp in the walls in the cold day; and when the sun rises they flee, and the place where they are is not known.

³ And from the smoke, locusts come to the earth: and they are given authority as the scorpions of the earth have authority. ⁴ And they are rhetorized to injure neither the herbage of the earth nor any green nor any tree; except only those humans who have not the seal of Elohim in their foreheads. ⁵ And they are given - not to slaughter but to torture them five months: and their torture is as the torture of a scorpion smiting a human. ⁶ And in those days humanity seeks death and finds not; and pants to die and death flees from them. ⁷ And the likenesses of the locusts - likens to horses prepared to war; and on their heads as gold-like wreaths and their faces as faces: of humans

⁷ the juice mourns; the vine languishes; all the cheerful sigh: ⁸ the joy of tambourines shabbathizes; the uproar of them who jump for joy ceases; the joy of the harp shabbathizes: ⁹ they drink no wine with a song; strong drink embitters them who drink: ¹⁰ the city of waste breaks down: every house is shut so that no man comes in. ¹¹ There is an outcry for wine in the outways: all cheerfulness is obscured; the joy of the land is exiled:

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

⁸ For this gird with saq; chop and howl: for the fuming wrath of Yah Veh turns not back from us.

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

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

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

³ And they handle pebbles for my people; and give a child for a whore, and sell a child for wine to drink.

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

¹⁹
YAH SHUA ON THE RICH HUMAN AND EL AZAR
A rich human clothed in purple and white linen rejoices radiantly daily:

²³ and in sheol/hades, being in torments, he lifts his eyes, and sees Abraham afar off and El Azar in his bosom. ²⁴ And he voices out and says, Father Abraham, mercy me, and send El Azar to baptize the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I grieve in this flame. ²⁵ But Abraham says, Child, remember that you in your life took your good; and El Azar likewise evil: and now he consoles and you grieve:

³⁴ And heed to yourselves, lest ever your hearts burden with hangovers and intoxication and anxieties of existence, so that day stands by you unawares. ³⁵ For it comes as a snare on all who sit on the face of the whole earth. ³⁶ So stay awake and petition in every season that you be accounted worthy to escape all these that are about to become; and to stand in front of the Son of humanity.

¹¹ And this: knowing the season, that it is already the hour to rise from sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we trusted. ¹² The night advances, the day approaches: so put off the works of darkness and endue the weapon of light. ¹³ Walk decorously as in the day; not in carousing and intoxication; not in coition and lechery; not in contention and zeal; ¹⁴ but endue Adonay Yah Shua Messiah and make no provision for the flesh to do its pantings.

¹
TREASURING TREASURES
Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries coming upon you.

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

¹⁴ there is a generation whose teeth are swords and their molars knives, to devour the humble from off the earth and the needy from humanity.

²⁵ the ants are a people, not strong, yet they prepare their bread in the summer; ²⁶ the conies are a people, not mighty, yet set they their houses in the rocks; ²⁷ the locusts have no sovereign, yet they all go by ranks;

⁸ and he passes through Yah Hudah; he overflows and passes over; he touches to the neck: and the spreading of his wings fills the breadth of your land, O Immanu El.

¹³ on the soil of my people thorns and briers ascend; yes, on all the houses of joy in the city of jumping for joy:

³ they settle not in the land of Yah Veh; and Ephrayim returns to Misrayim, and they eat the foul in Ashshur.

² a day of dripping darkness and of darkness; a day of clouds and of thick darkness as the dawn spread on the mountains: a great people and a mighty; neither became the like eternally nor adds to become afterward to the years of generation and generation. ³ A fire consumes at their face; and behind them a flame inflames: the land is as the garden of Eden at their face, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yes, and there are no escapees. ⁴ Their visage is as the visage of horses; and as cavalry, thus they run: ⁵ as the voice of chariots on the mountain tops, they dance; - as the voice of a flame of fire consumes the stubble - as a mighty people set in war array. ⁶ In front of their face the people writhe: all faces gather flushness: ⁷ they run as the mighty; they ascend the wall as men of war; and every man marches on his ways: and they neither entangle their paths ⁸ nor man thrust brother: they walk all their mighty in the highway: and when they fall on the sword, they are not cut off. 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: ¹⁰ the earth quakes at their face; the heavens quake; the sun and the moon darken; and the stars gather their brilliance: ¹¹ and Yah Veh gives his voice at the face of his valiant; for his camp is mighty great: for he who works his word is mighty: for the day of Yah Veh is great and mighty awesome; and who can contain it?

⁷ And the likenesses of the locusts - likens to horses prepared to war; and on their heads as gold-like wreaths and their faces as faces: of humans ⁸ and they have hair as hair of women and their teeth as lions: ⁹ and they have breastplates as breastplates of iron; and the voice of their wings as the voice of chariots - of many horses running to war; ¹⁰ and their tails like scorpions and stings in their tails: and their authority is to injure humanity five months.

¹⁵ for they cover the eye of the whole land so that the land darkens; and they eat every herb of the land and all the fruit of the trees which remains of the hail: and not any green remains in the trees or in the herbs of the field through all the land of Misrayim.

³³ he smote their vines and their fig trees and broke the trees of their borders.

⁶ and I place it desolate - neither plucked nor hoed; and briers and thorns ascend: and I misvah the thick clouds to rain no rain thereon.

⁷ the juice mourns; the vine languishes; all the cheerful sigh:

¹³ In consuming, I consume them, - an oracle of Yah Veh: - neither grapes on the vine nor figs on the fig tree; and the leaf withers; and I give these to pass away from them.

¹² and I desolate her vines and her fig trees whereof she says, These are my payoffs my lovers give me: and I set them a forest and the live beings of the field eat them:

¹² The vine withers and the fig tree languishes; - pomegranate tree, also palm tree and apple tree - all trees of the field wither: because rejoicing withers from the sons of humanity.

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:

¹⁷ who forsakes the chiliarch of her youth and forgets the covenant of her Elohim.

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

⁷ the juice mourns; the vine languishes; all the cheerful sigh: ⁸ the joy of tambourines shabbathizes; the uproar of them who jump for joy ceases; the joy of the harp shabbathizes: ⁹ they drink no wine with a song; strong drink embitters them who drink: ¹⁰ the city of waste breaks down: every house is shut so that no man comes in. ¹¹ There is an outcry for wine in the outways: all cheerfulness is obscured; the joy of the land is exiled: ¹² desolation survives in the city; and the portal is crushed with waste.

¹¹ Tremble, you relaxed women; quiver, you who confide: strip, and strip bare with a girdle on the loins.

⁴ Call you not to me at this time, My father, you are the chiliarch of my youth?

¹⁷ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth, You, discern; and call for the lamenters to come; and send for the wise to come: ¹⁸ Hasten them to lift a lamentation for us so that our eyes drip with tears and our eyelids flow with waters. ¹⁹ For a voice of lamentation is heard from Siyon, How ravaged! We shame mightily because we forsook the land; because they cast out our tabernacles.

¹³
CALL TO REPENTANCE
Gird and mourn, you priests! Howl, you ministers of the sacrifice altar! Come, stay overnight in saq, you ministers of my Elohim: for the offering and the libation is withheld from the house of your Elohim. ¹⁴
THE DAY OF YAH VEH
Hallow a fast! Call a private assembly! Gather the elders and all the settlers of the land into the house of Yah Veh your El, and cry to Yah Veh, ¹⁵ Aha for the day! for the day of Yah Veh is nearby, and comes as a ravage from Shadday.

¹² And also now - an oracle of Yah Veh you, turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting and with weeping and with chopping: ¹³ and rip your heart and not your clothes; and turn to Yah Veh your Elohim: for he is charismatic and merciful slow to wrath and of great mercy; and he sighs concerning the evil. ¹⁴ Who knows? He returns; yes, he sighs: and leaves a blessing behind him - an offering and a libation to Yah Veh your Elohim.

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

¹⁵ And worked he not one? Yet he has the spirit of survival. And why one? To seek a seed of Elohim. Guard your spirit that no one deal covertly against the woman of his youth.

⁸ approach Elohim and he approaches you; purify your hands, sinners; and hallow your hearts, double souled; ⁹ be miserable and mourn and weep; overturn your laughter to mourning and your cheer to sadness;

¹
PATTERN FOR THE PRIESTAL CLOTHES
And oblate to yourself Aharon your brother and his sons with him, from among the sons of Yisra El, that he priest the priesthood to me - Aharon, Nadab and Abi Hu, El Azar and Iy Thamar, sons of Aharon.

¹⁰ As for us, Yah Veh is our Elohim and we forsake him not; and the priests, who minister to Yah Veh, are the sons of Aharon and the Leviym in the work:

⁶ and you are called, Priests of Yah Veh: of you is said, The Ministers of Our Elohim: you consume the valuables of the goyim and exchange their honor:

⁴ The ways of Siyon mourn; no one comes to the congregation festivals; all her portals are desolate; her priests sigh; her virgins grieve; she is embittered.

¹⁶ I weep for these; my eye - my eye cascades with water, because the sigher to restore my soul is far from me; my sons desolate, for the enemy prevails mightily.

⁴ They neither libate wine to Yah Veh, nor please him: their sacrifices are to them as the bread of mischief; all who eat are fouled: for their bread for their soul comes not into the house of Yah Veh.

¹⁶ Is not the food cut off in front of our eyes? Cheerfulness and twirling from the house of our Elohim?

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

¹⁷ Have the priests, the ministers of Yah Veh, weep between the porch and the sacrifice altar; and have them say, Spare your people, O Yah Veh! And give not your inheritance to reproach so that the goyim reign over them! Why have them say among the people, Where is their Elohim?

²⁰ and your force consumes in vain: neither your land gives her produce nor the trees of the land give their fruits.

³ In evacuating, the land is evacuated, and in plundering, plundered; for Yah Veh words this word: ⁴ The earth mourns and withers; the world languishes and withers; the high people of the earth languish:

¹¹ There is an outcry for wine in the outways: all cheerfulness is obscured; the joy of the land is exiled:

⁴ How long mourns the land? And the herbs of every field wither for their evil who settle therein? The animals are scraped away, and the flyers; because, they say, He sees not our final end.

¹¹ they set it desolate; and desolate, it mourns to me; the whole land is desolated because no man sets it to heart.

² Yah Hudah mourns and the portals languish - darkened to the earth; and the outcry of Yeru Shalem ascends: ³ and the mighty send their little ones to the waters: they come to the dugouts and find no water; they return with their instruments empty: they shame and are ashamed and cover their heads: ⁴ because the soil is broken for there is no downpour in the earth: the cultivators shame; they cover their heads. ⁵ And even the hind births in the field, and forsakes; because there is no sprout: ⁶ and the wild runners stand in the barrens; they gulp the wind as monsters; their eyes finish off because there is no herbage.

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

³ So the land mourns and every one settling therein languishes with the live beings of the field and with the flyers of the heavens; yes, the fishes of the sea are gathered:

² The threshingfloor and the trough, they tend not and the juice in her deceives:

⁵ Waken, you intoxicants, and weep; and howl, all you drinkers of wine: because the squeezed juice is cut off from your mouth.

¹⁷ The kernels rot under their clods; the treasuries desolate; the granaries break; for the crop withers. ¹⁸ How the animals sigh! The droves of cattle perplex, because they have no pasture; yes, the droves of flocks have guilted. ¹⁹ O Yah Veh, to you I call out: for the fire consumes the folds of the wilderness; and the flame inflames all the trees of the field; ²⁰ also the animals of the field yearn to you: for the reservoirs of waters wither, and the fire consumes the folds of the wilderness.

¹¹ and I call a parch on the land and on the mountains and on the crop and on the juice and on the oil and on whatever the soil brings forth; and on humanity and on animals and on all the labor of the palms.

¹¹ in the day, you hedge your plant; and in the morning, you blossom your seed: the harvest is as a heap in the day of grief and of desperate pain.

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?

³ and the mighty send their little ones to the waters: they come to the dugouts and find no water; they return with their instruments empty: they shame and are ashamed and cover their heads: ⁴ because the soil is broken for there is no downpour in the earth: the cultivators shame; they cover their heads.

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

⁵ and hope never shames; because the love of Elohim pours in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who is given to us.

²³ And they come to the wadi of Eshcol and they cut down a twig with one cluster of grapes; and they bear it between two on a pole; also of the pomegranates and of the figs.

⁷ You gave cheerfulness in my heart, from the time their crop and their juice abounded by the myriads.

¹² The just blossom as the palm tree; he increases as a cedar in Lebanon:

³
THE WOMAN
As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, thus is my beloved among the sons: in his shadow I delight and sit; his fruit is sweet to my palate;

¹³ your branches, a paradise of pomegranates, with precious fruits; camphire, with nard;

⁷ This your height, likened to a palm tree and your breasts to clusters. ⁸ I say, I ascend to the palm tree, I hold the twigs; yes, your breasts, as clusters of the vine; the scent of your nostrils, as apples; ⁹ your palate, as good wine for my beloved - who goes in straightnesses so that the lips of those who sleep tranquilly flow.

³ You greaten the goyim; you greaten their cheerfulness: they cheer at your face as the cheerfulness in harvest; and twirl when they allot the spoil.

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

³ A voice of crying from Horonaim - ravage and great breaking.

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

¹⁰ the field is ravaged; the soil mourns; for the crop is ravaged: the juice withers; the oil languishes.

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.

¹⁹ Is the seed yet in the granary? Yes, as yet the vine and the fig tree and the pomegranate and the olive tree have not borne: from this day I bless.

⁸ and bring the offering worked of these to Yah Veh: and when it is oblated to the priest, he brings it to the sacrifice altar: ⁹ and the priest lifts a memorial from the offering and incenses it on the sacrifice altar - a firing of a scent of rest to Yah Veh: ¹⁰ and what remains of the offering is for Aharon and his sons - a holy of holies of the firings to Yah Veh.

⁶ beside the holocaust of the month and its offering and the continual holocaust and its offering and their libations, according to their judgment, for a scent of rest - a firing to Yah Veh.

¹⁶ and David beseeches Elohim for the lad; and David fasts a fast; and goes in and stays overnight on the earth.

²⁷ And so be it, Ach Ab hears those words, and he rips his clothes and sets saq on his flesh and fasts and lies down in saq and walks gently.

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

¹⁸ they gird with saq and trembling covers them; and shame is on all faces and baldness on all their heads.

⁸ Lament as a virgin girt with saq for the master of her youth: ⁹ the offering and the libation is cut off from the house of Yah Veh; the priests, the ministers of Yah Veh, mourn:

⁵ So the men of Nineveh trust Elohim and call a fast and enrobe saq - from their greatest even to their lesser. ⁶ And word touches to the sovereign of Nineveh; and he rises from his throne and passes his mighty mantle from him and covers himself with saq and sits in ashes: ⁷ and he cries throughout Nineveh, saying by the taste of the sovereign and his nobles, saying, Neither humanity nor animal, herd nor flock, tastes aught: neither grazes, nor drinks water: ⁸ and humanity and animal covers with saq and calls out severely to Elohim: yes, every man turns from his evil way and from the violence in their palms.

THE MINISTRY
Humanity, reckon us thus: as attendants of Messiah and administrators of the mysteries of Elohim.

¹³ Know you not that whoever works the priestal eats of the priestal precinct? and whoever waits on the sacrifice altar are co-partakers with the sacrifice altar?

⁶ who also enables us - ministers of the new covenant; not of scribing but of spirit: for the scribing slaughters, and the spirit enlivens.

⁴ but commend ourselves in all as the ministers of Elohim, in many endurances, in tribulations, in compulsions, in distresses,

²³ Are they ministers of Messiah? - I speak insanely - I more; in labors, more superabundant; in stripes, superexcessively; in guardhouses, superabundant; in deaths, often.

¹³ For he, of whom these are worded, another scion partakes, whom no one heeds at the sacrifice altar. ¹⁴ For it was pre-evidenced that our Adonay rose from Yah Hudah; to which scion Mosheh spake naught concerning priesthood. ^{Genesis 49:8, 10}

³⁶ Seven days oblate a firing to Yah Veh: on the eighth day is a holy convocation to you. - oblate a firing to Yah Veh: - an abstinence - work no service work.

¹⁰ You stand this day - all of you at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim: your heads of your scions, your elders and your officers, with all the men of Yisra El, ¹¹ your toddlers, your women, and the sojourner inside your camp - from the hewer of your timber to the drawer of your water:

³ And Yah Shaphat awes and gives his face to seek Yah Veh; and calls a fast over all Yah Hudah: ⁴ and Yah Hudah gathers to seek Yah Veh - even from all the cities of Yah Hudah they come to seek Yah Veh.

¹³ And all Yah Hudah stands at the face of Yah Veh, with their toddlers, their women and their sons:

¹⁸ and day by day, from the first day to the last day, he calls out the scroll of the torah of Elohim. - and they work the celebration seven days; and on the eighth day is a private assembly according to the judgment.

² and the seed of Yisra El separate from all sons of strangers; and stand and spread hands for their sins and the perversities of their fathers: ³ and they rise in their station and call out in the scroll of the torah of Yah Veh their Elohim a fourth of the day; and a fourth they spread hands and prostrate to Yah Veh their Elohim.

¹⁵ Blast the shophar in Siyon! Hallow a fast! Call a private assembly! ¹⁶ Gather the people! Hallow the congregation! Gather the elders! Gather the sucklings! And they who suck the breasts! Have the bridegroom come from his chamber! And the bride from her canopy!

⁸ and humanity and animal covers with saq and calls out severely to Elohim: yes, every man turns from his evil way and from the violence in their palms.

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

⁶ You, howl! for the day of Yah Veh approaches; it comes as a ravage from Shadday. ⁷ So all hands slacken and every heart of man melts; ⁸ and they terrify: pains and pangs take hold of them; they writhe as a woman birthing: every man marvels at friend - their faces as flames. ⁹ Behold, the day of Yah Veh comes - cruel - with both wrath and fuming wrath to set the land desolate: and he desolates the sinners from it.

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

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.

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

¹¹ and Yah Veh gives his voice at the face of his valiant; for his camp is mighty great: for he who works his word is mighty: for the day of Yah Veh is great and mighty awesome; and who can contain it?

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

¹⁶
THE DAY OF YAH VEH
So, thus says Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth Adonay: Chopping is in all streets; and in all the outways, they say, Hah! Hah! and they call the cultivator to mourning and such as know lamentation to chopping: ¹⁷ and in all vineyards, chopping: for I pass midst you, says Yah Veh. ¹⁸ Ho to you who desire the day of Yah Veh! To what end is it for you? The day of Yah Veh is darkness, and not light

¹⁴
THE GREAT DAY OF YAH VEH
The great day of Yah Veh is near - near and the voice of the day of Yah Veh hastens mightily: the mighty whoop there bitterly: ¹⁵ a day of wrath - that day; a day of tribulation and distress; a day of devastation and ruin; a day of darkness and darkness; a day of clouds and dripping darkness ¹⁶ a day of the shophar and blast against the fortified cities and against the high corners. ¹⁷ And I tribulate humanity and they walk as the blind: because they sin against Yah Veh and pour blood as dust and eat the dung ball. ¹⁸ Even their silver, even their gold cannot rescue them in the day of the wrath of Yah Veh; and in the fire of his jealousy consumes the whole land: for he even works a hasty final finish of all who settle in the land.

⁴¹ And as he approaches he sees the city and weeps over it, ⁴² wording, If you had known, even you, yet indeed in this, your day, all these that be for your shalom! But now they are secreted from your eyes. ⁴³ For days come upon you, that your enemies envelop a palisade around you, and surround you and hold you in on every side, ⁴⁴ and raze you and your children within you; and they allow not stone upon stone in you; because you know not the season of your visitation.

⁹ Sigh not against one another, brothers, lest you be condemned: behold, the judge stands at the portal.

¹⁷ because the mega day of his wrath is come; and who is able to stand?

⁶ and bring your holocausts and your sacrifices and your tithes and exaltments of your hand and your vows and your voluntaries and the firstlings of your oxen and of your flocks: ⁷ and there at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim eat and cheer in every spreading of your hand - you and your households, wherein Yah Veh your Elohim blessed you.

¹¹ and so be it, the place Yah Veh your Elohim chooses to tabernacle his name, bring all I misvah you - your holocausts and your sacrifices your tithes and the exaltment of your hand and all your choice vows you vowed to Yah Veh: ¹² and cheer at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim - you and your sons and your daughters and your servants and your maids and the Leviy within your portals; for which cause he has neither allotment nor inheritance with you.

¹⁰ and work the celebration of weeks to Yah Veh your Elohim voluntarily with a voluntary of your hand, which you give as Yah Veh your Elohim blesses you: ¹¹ and cheer at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim - you and your son and your daughter and your servant and your maid and the Leviy within your portals and the sojourner and the orphan and the widow among you, in the place Yah Veh your Elohim chooses to tabernacle his name. ¹² And remember, you were a servant in Misrayim: and guard and work these statutes. ¹³
THE TORAH ON THE CELEBRATION OF SUKKOTH/BRUSH ARBORS Work the celebration of Sukkoth/Brush Arbors seven days after you ingather your threshingfloor and your trough: ¹⁴ and cheer in your celebration - you and your son and your daughter and your servant and your maid and the Leviy, the sojourner and the orphan and the widow within your portals. ¹⁵ Celebrate seven days to Yah Veh your Elohim in the place Yah Veh chooses: because Yah Veh your Elohim blesses you in all your produce and in all the works of your hands - only cheerful.

⁴ And I enter to the sacrifice altar of Elohim - to El, the cheer of my twirling: on the harp, I spread hands to you, O Elohim my Elohim.

³ halal in his holy name; the heart of them who seek Yah Veh cheers.

⁷ in that day he lifts his hand, saying, I am not a binder; and in my house is neither bread nor clothing: set me not a commander of the people.

⁸ Yah Veh oaths by his right and by the arm of his strength, I neither give your crop any more to be food for your enemies; nor the sons of the stranger to drink your juice for which you labored: ⁹ for they who gather, eat and halal Yah Veh; and they who gather, drink in the courts of my holies.

⁵ Waken, you intoxicants, and weep; and howl, all you drinkers of wine: because the squeezed juice is cut off from your mouth. ⁶ For a goyim ascends on my land - mighty and without number: whose teeth, the teeth of a lion; and the molars of a roaring lion. ⁷ He sets my vine desolate and chips away my fig tree: in stripping, he strips and casts away; the tendrils whiten.

⁶ And I also - I gave you innocency of teeth in all your cities and lack of bread in all your places: yet you returned not to me - an oracle of Yah Veh. 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:

¹⁶ And Abraham hearkens to Ephron; and Abraham weighs to Ephron the silver he words in the ears of the sons of Heth - four hundred shekels of silver as passes with the merchant.

¹⁰ Because you forgot Elohim of your salvation, and remembered not the rock of your stronghold, so you plant pleasant plants and seed with strange twigs: ¹¹ in the day, you hedge your plant; and in the morning, you blossom your seed: the harvest is as a heap in the day of grief and of desperate pain.

⁵ And Ach Ab says to Obad Yah, Go to the land - to all fountains of water and to all wadies: perhaps we find leeks to save the horses and mules alive and not cut off all the animals.

²⁰ also the animals of the field yearn to you: for the reservoirs of waters wither, and the fire consumes the folds of the wilderness.

²² For we know that all creation co-sighs and co-travails in pain until now:

¹⁵ call on me in the day of tribulation: I rescue you and you honor me.

¹⁵ He calls on me and I answer him; I am with him in tribulation; I rescue him and honor him:

³ A fire consumes at their face; and behind them a flame inflames: the land is as the garden of Eden at their face, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yes, and there are no escapees.

⁴ Thus Adonay Yah Veh shows me: and behold, Adonay Yah Veh calls to contend by fire; and it consumes the great abyss and eats an allotment.

⁷
THE SURVIVORS IN THE FINAL DAYS
And I - I watch to Yah Veh; I await Elohim of my salvation: my Elohim hears me.

YAH SHUA ON THE JUDGE AND THE WIDOW
And he words a parable to them, to this end, that men must ever pray and not weary:

⁷ avenges not Elohim his own select who cry day and night to him - though he is patient with them?

⁶ Be anxious for naught; but in all by prayer and petition with eucharist have Elohim know your requests. ⁷ And the shalom of Elohim that surpasses the mind garrisons your hearts and comprehensions in Messiah Yah Shua.

⁷ and so be it, at the end of days, the wadi withers, there being no rain in the land.

⁴¹ Who prepares the hunt for the raven - when his children cry to El? - when they stray without food?

²¹ the whelps roar after their prey and seek their food from El:

¹⁵ the eyes of all expect you; and you give them their food on time:

⁹ who gives his bread to the animal and to the sons of ravens who call.
