THE FOURTH LAMENTATION
How the gold fades - the good ore changes; - the stones of the holies poured out in the top of all the outways! ² The esteemed sons of Siyon, balanced to pure gold, how they are reckoned as pottery bottles, the work of the hands of the former! ³ Even the monsters strip the breast; they suckle their whelps: the daughter of my people is cruel, as ostriches in the wilderness. ⁴ The tongue of the suckling adheres to his palate for thirst; the infants ask bread and no one spreads to them; ⁵ they who ate delicately desolate in the outways; those entrusted with scarlet embrace dunghills. ⁶ And the perversity of the daughter of my people greatens above the sin of Sodom - overturned as in a blink and no hands writhed over her. ⁷ Her Separatists were purified as snow - dazzling whiter than milk; their bones more reddened than pearls; their separatism of sapphire: ⁸ their form becomes darker than darkness - not recognized in the outways; their skin adheres to their bones - withers; becomes as wood. ⁹ Those pierced with the sword are better than those pierced with famine; for they flow away stabbed because of the produce of the field. ¹⁰ The hands of the mercied women stew their own children; they chew them in the breech of the daughter of my people. ¹¹ Yah Veh accomplishes his fury - pours out his fierce wrath and kindled a fire in Siyon; and it consumes the foundations. ¹² The sovereigns of the earth and all who settle the world, had never trusted for the tribulator and the enemy to enter into the portals of Yeru Shalem. ¹³ Because of the sins of her prophets and the perversities of her priests, who pour the blood of the just in her midst, ¹⁴ they wander as blind in the outways: they pollute themselves with blood, - not able to touch their robes. ¹⁵ They call to them, Turn aside! Foul! Turn aside! Turn aside! Touch not! As they flee and wander, they say among the goyim, Add not to sojourn there. ¹⁶ The anger of Yah Veh allots them; never again to scan them; they neither lifted the face of the priests, nor granted charism to the elders. ¹⁷ As for us, our eyes as yet are finished off for our vain help: in our watching, we watched for a goyim that saves not: ¹⁸ they hunt our paces, from going in our broadways; our end is near; our days fulfilled; our end is come. ¹⁹ Our pursuers are swifter than the eagles of the heavens: they pursue us on the mountains; they lurk for us in the wilderness: ²⁰ the spirit/wind of our nostrils, the anointed of Yah Veh, is captured in their pits - of whom we say, Under his shadow we live among the goyim. ²¹ Rejoice and cheer, O daughter of Edom, who settles in the land of Us; the cup also passes through to you; intoxicate and strip yourself naked: 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.

⁹ and he burns the house of Yah Veh and the house of the sovereign and all the houses of Yeru Shalem and burns every great house with fire: ¹⁰ and all the valiant of the Kasdiy with the great slaughterer pull down the walls of Yeru Shalem all around.

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

¹²
THE HALALED ONE
How you fell from the heavens, O Halaled one, son of the dawn - cut down to the earth: who vanquished the goyim!

¹³ and burns the house of Yah Veh and the house of the sovereign and all the houses of Yeru Shalem: and all the houses of the great he burns with fire:

¹⁹ Rise! Cry out in the night, in the head of the watches; pour your heart as water at the face of Adonay; lift your palms toward him for the soul of your infants who languish for famine in the top of all the outways.

¹⁹ They cast their silver in the outways and their gold becomes excluded: their silver and their gold cannot rescue them in the day of the wrath of Yah Veh: they neither satisfy their souls nor fill their inwards: because it becomes the stumblingblock of their perversity. ²⁰ As for the splendor of his ornament, he sets it in pomp: and they work the images of their abhorrences and of their abominations therein: so I give to exclude it from them: ²¹ and I give it into the hands of the strangers for a plunder; and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they profane it: ²² and I turn my face from them and they profane my hideout; for the tyrants enter it and profane it.

² And Yah Shua says to them, See you not all these? Amen! I word to you, Never no way is stone upon stone allowed, that never no way disintegrates.

² And Yah Shua answering him, says, Observe you these mega edifices? Not one stone is allowed upon stone, that is not disintegrated.

⁵
YAH SHUA ON THE COMPLETION OF THE EON
And as some word about the priestal precinct - how it is adorned with goodly stones and votives, he says, ⁶ As for these which you observe, the days come, in which there is not allowed stone upon stone, that is not disintegrated.

¹⁴ And he breaks it as breaking the bag of the former - crushed; he spares not: so that no potsherd is found in the fracture thereof to take fire from the burning, or to strip water from the dugout.

¹⁸ There is neither one to guide her among all the sons whom she birthed; nor is there any, of all the sons she nourished, who holds her by the hand.

¹¹ and say to them, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: Thus I break this people and this city, as one breaks an instrument of the former that it cannot be healed again: and they entomb them in Topheth until there is no place to entomb.

²⁸ Is this man Kon Yah a despised splattered idol? An instrument wherein is no delight? Why are they cast out, he and his seed, - cast into a land they know not?

²¹ The lad and the aged lie on the earth in the outways; my virgins and my young men fall by the sword; you slaughter them in the day of your wrath - slaughter and spare not.

¹² governors are hanged by their hand; the faces of elders are not esteemed:

¹³ when I bend Yah Hudah for me, fill the bow with Ephrayim, and waken your sons, O Siyon, against your sons, O Yavan, and set you as the sword of a mighty.

²¹ Or has not the potter authority over the clay - to make of the same lump one vessel indeed to honor and another to dishonor? ²² And if Elohim wills to indicate his wrath and to make known his ability, bears in much patience the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction: ²³ and to make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, whom he previously prepared for glory,

⁷
CLAY VESSELS
And we have this treasure in clay vessels; that the excellency of the dynamis be of Elohim and not of us.

²⁰ And in a mega house there are vessels - not only of gold and of silver but also of wood and of clay; and some indeed to honor and some to dishonor:

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

⁵² and he tribulates you in all your portals until your high and fortified walls topple - wherein you confided, throughout all your land: and he tribulates you in all your portals throughout all the land Yah Veh your Elohim gives you: ⁵³ and you eat the fruit of your own belly - the flesh of your sons and of your daughters; whom Yah Veh your Elohim gives you in the siege and in the distress, wherewith your enemies distress you: ⁵⁴ so that the man among you - tender and mighty delicate, his eye becomes evil toward his brother and toward the woman of his bosom and toward the remnant of his sons who remain: ⁵⁵ so that he gives not one of them of the flesh of his sons whom he eats: because he has none to survive him in the siege and in the distress, wherewith your enemies distress you in all your portals. ⁵⁶ The tender and delicate among you, who tests not to set the sole of her foot on the earth because of delicateness and tenderness, her eye becomes evil toward the man of her bosom and toward her son and toward her daughter ⁵⁷ and toward her fetus coming from between her feet and toward the sons she births: for she eats them covertly for lack of all in the siege and distress, wherewith your enemies distress you in your portals.

²⁶ And as the sovereign of Yisra El passes by on the wall, a woman cries out to him, saying, Save, my adoni, O sovereign. ²⁷ And he says, If Yah Veh saves you not, how save I you? From the threshingfloor? Or from the trough? ²⁸ And the sovereign says to her, What ails you? And she says, This woman said to me, Give your son to eat today and eat my son tomorrow: ²⁹ so we stewed my son and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, Give your son, to eat him: and she hid her son.

¹³ Or pinions to leap for joy? Or plumage to the stork? ¹⁴ - who leaves her eggs in the earth and heats them in dust; ¹⁵ and forgets that the foot may squeeze them; or that the field life may trample them. ¹⁶ She hardens her sons as though they are not hers; her labor is in vain without dread:

¹⁵ Forgets a woman her suckling? Mercies she not the son of her belly? Yes, they forget; but I - I forget you not.

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

²⁰ See, O Yah Veh, and look to whom you thus exploit. Are the women to eat their fruit - infants of a palm span? - priest and the prophet slaughtered in the holies of Adonay?

¹⁰ The hands of the mercied women stew their own children; they chew them in the breech of the daughter of my people.

¹⁰ So the fathers eat the sons midst you; and the sons eat their fathers: and I work judgments in you, and I winnow all your survivors into all the winds.

²⁸ And Yah Shua turns to them and says, Daughters of Yeru Shalem, weep not for me: however weep for yourselves and for your children. ²⁹ For, behold, the days come in which they say, Blessed - the sterile and the wombs that never birthed and the breasts that never nippled.

³¹ uncomprehending, uncovenanted, selfish, disagreeable, unmercied:

²⁴ Exhausted by famine, devoured by burning heat and bitter ruin: I also send the teeth of animals on them, with the poison of creepers of the dust.

¹⁵ my force is dried as a potsherd; my tongue adheres to my prey; you set me into the dust of death.

⁶ if I remember you not, my tongue adheres to my palate - if I ascend not Yeru Shalem, above the head of my cheer.

¹¹ All her people sigh; they seek bread; they gave their desires for food to relieve the soul: see, O Yah Veh, and look; for I am a glutton.

¹¹ My eyes finish off with tears; my inwards foam; my liver pours on the earth for the breech of the daughter of my people; because the infants and the sucklings languish in the broadways of the city. ¹² They say to their mothers, Where are crop and wine? - as they languish as the pierced in the broadways of the city; as their soul pours into the bosom of their mothers.

⁹ Or what human of you, whenever his son asks bread, gives him a stone? ¹⁰ Or whenever he asks a fish, gives him a serpent? ¹¹ So if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more your Father in the heavens gives good to them who ask him?

⁵⁴ so that the man among you - tender and mighty delicate, his eye becomes evil toward his brother and toward the woman of his bosom and toward the remnant of his sons who remain: ⁵⁵ so that he gives not one of them of the flesh of his sons whom he eats: because he has none to survive him in the siege and in the distress, wherewith your enemies distress you in all your portals. ⁵⁶ The tender and delicate among you, who tests not to set the sole of her foot on the earth because of delicateness and tenderness, her eye becomes evil toward the man of her bosom and toward her son and toward her daughter

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

⁸ they are moist with the floods of the mountains and embrace the rock for want of a refuge;

²¹ she awes not the snow for her household; for all her household are enrobed with scarlet:

¹⁶ Yah Veh says, Because the daughters of Siyon lift themselves and walk with spread throats and ogling - walking and waddling they go, and tinkling with their feet: ¹⁷ Adonay also scrapes the scalp of the daughters of Siyon; and their pudenda, Yah Veh strips naked. ¹⁸ In that day, Adonay turns aside their adornments of tinklers, and their nets and their ornaments; ¹⁹ the pendants and the bracelets and the veils; ²⁰ the tiaras and the anklets and the bands and the housings of the soul and the amulets; ²¹ the signets and nostrilrings; ²² the mantles and the mantles and the cloaks and the pockets; ²³ the rolls and the wraps and the turbans and the veils: ²⁴ and so be it, that instead of sweet spice, putridity; and instead of a girdle, a noose; and instead of the work of the curler, baldness; and instead of a festive mantle, a girdle of saq - scarring instead of beauty. ²⁵ Your men fall by the sword and your might in the war. ²⁶ And her portals mourn and mourn; and being exonerated, she settles upon the land.

⁶ So the oath devours the earth, and the settlers therein guilt: so the settlers of the earth scorch and few men survive: 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.

⁹
RELAXED WOMEN AND CONFIDENT DAUGHTERS
Rise up, you relaxed women; hear my voice, you confident daughters; hearken to my saying, 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: 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: ¹⁴ surely the citadels are abandoned and the multitude of the city forsaken; the mounds and lookout towers become caves eternally - a joy of wild runners - a pasture of droves;

² I severed the delicate daughter of Siyon to a habitation of rest: ³ the tenders with their droves come to her; they stake their tents against her all round; every man tends at his hand.

²¹ For death ascends into our windows; it enters into our palaces to cut off the sucklings from the outways, and the youths from the broadways. ²² Word thus, - an oracle of Yah Veh The carcases of humanity falls as dung on the face of the field; and as the omer after the harvester: and no one gathers.

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.

²⁵ But what went you out to see? A human clothed in effeminate garment? Behold, the gloriously garmented and indulgent are in palaces of sovereigns.

¹⁶ and he pants to fill his belly with the pods the swine eat: and no one gives him.

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

⁶ and she who luxuriates, is dead while she lives:

⁷ as much as she glorifies herself and luxuriates so much torture and mourning give her: because she words in her heart, I sit a sovereigness and am no widow and never no way see mourning. ⁸ For this her plagues come in one day - death and mourning and famine; and she utterly burns in fire: because mighty is Yah Veh Elohim who judges her. ⁹
SOVEREIGNS WEEP OVER THE FALL OF BABEL
And the sovereigns of the earth who whored and luxuriated with her, weep for her and chop over her when they see the smoke of her firing,

²⁵ and he overturns those cities and all the environs; and all who settle the cities and all that sprouts on the soil:

⁹ Unless Yah Veh Sabaoth had a very few survivors remain, we had become as Sedom; likened to Amorah. ¹⁰ Hear the word of Yah Veh you commanders of Sedom; hearken to the torah of our Elohim you people of Amorah:

⁹ Those pierced with the sword are better than those pierced with famine; for they flow away stabbed because of the produce of the field.

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.

¹² And he raises the words he worded against us and against our judges who judge us, by bringing a great evil on us - as never worked under the whole heavens as he works on Yeru Shalem:

²³ And you, Kaphar Nachum - exalted to the heavens to descend to sheol/hades: for if the dynamis that became in you had become in Sedom, it had abode until this day. ²⁴ Moreover I word to you, that in the day of judgment it becomes more tolerable for the land of Sedom, than for you.

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

¹² and I word to you, that in that day it becomes more tolerable for Sedom than for that city.

⁴⁷ And that servant, who knows the will of his adoni, who neither prepares nor does according to his will is flogged often.

² Word to the sons of Yisra El and say to them, When either man or woman separate to vow a vow - the vow of a Separatist, to marvel to Yah Veh: ³ he separates from wine and intoxicants and he drinks not fermented wine or fermented intoxicants, neither drinks steepings of grapes, nor grapes - dried or fresh: ⁴ all the days of his separatism he eats naught worked of the wine of the vine - from the kernels even to the husk. ⁵ All the days of the vow of his separatism no razor passes on his head: until the days fulfill wherein he separates to Yah Veh, he becomes holy and the locks of the hair of his head grow. ⁶ All the days of his vow of separatism to Yah Veh he comes at no soul who died: ⁷ he fouls not himself for his father or for his mother, for his brother or for his sister, when they die: because the separatism of his Elohim is on his head. ⁸ All the days of his separatism he becomes holy to Yah Veh. ⁹ And if in dying, any one by him dies in a blink and he fouls the head of his separatism; then he shaves his head in the day of his purifying - on the seventh day he shaves it: ¹⁰ and on the eighth day he brings two turtledoves, or two sons of doves, to the priest, to the opening of the tent of the congregation: ¹¹ and the priest works the one for the sin and the one for the holocaust and kapars/atones for him, for he sinned by the soul; and hallows his head that same day. ¹² And he separates the days of his separatism to Yah Veh; and brings a lamb - a yearling son for his guilt: but the first days are fallen, because his separatism became defiled. ¹³ And this is the torah of the Separatist, in the days of his separatism wherein the days fulfill: bring him to the opening of the tent of the congregation: ¹⁴ to oblate his qorban to Yah Veh - one he lamb, an integrious yearling son, for the holocaust and one ewe lamb, an integrious yearling daughter, for the sin and one integrious ram for shelamim, ¹⁵ and a basket of matsah - cakes of flour mixed with oil and wafers of matsah anointed with oil and their offering and their libations. ¹⁶ And the priest oblates them at the face of Yah Veh and works for his sin and his holocaust: ¹⁷ and he works the ram for a sacrifice of shelamim to Yah Veh, with the basket of matsah: and the priest works his offering and his libation. ¹⁸ And the Separatist shaves the head of his separatism at the opening of the tent of the congregation; and takes the hair of the head of his separatism and gives it in the fire under the sacrifice of the shelamim. ¹⁹ And the priest takes the stewed foreleg of the ram and one matsah cake and one matsah wafer from the basket and gives them on the palms of the Separatist after his separatism is shaven: ²⁰ and the priest waves them for a wave at the face of Yah Veh: - it is holy for the priest with the wave breast and hindleg of the exaltment: and after that the Separatist drinks wine. ²¹ This is the torah of the Separatist who vows and of his qorban to Yah Veh for his separatism, beside what his hand attains: according to the mouth of the vow he vows: thus he works after the torah of his separatism.

⁵ for, behold, you conceive and birth a son: ascend no razor on his head. - and from the belly the lad becomes a Separatist to Elohim; and he begins to save Yisra El from the hand of the Peleshethiy.

⁷ and he says to me, Behold, you conceive and birth a son; and now drink neither wine nor intoxicants nor eat any foulness: for the lad becomes a Separatist to Elohim from the belly to the day of his death.

¹⁷ and he tells her all his heart and says to her, No razor ascends my head; for I am a Separatist to Elohim from the belly of my mother: if I become shaven, my force turns from me and I become worn and become as any one human.

¹²
DAVID ANOINTED
And he sends and brings him in: and he is ruddy and of beautiful eyes and goodly to see. And Yah Veh says, Rise! Anoint him! For this is he.

⁷ Purify me with hyssop, and I am purified; launder me, and I am whiter than snow:

¹² Because our sons as plants become grown in their youth; and our daughters as prominent corner pillars carved in the pattern of a manse;

¹⁰
THE WOMAN
My beloved is clear and red; the bannerbearer among myriads:

¹⁵ and at the end of ten days they see their visages better and fatter in flesh than all the children who eat the delicacies of the sovereign.

¹¹ and I raised of your sons for prophets and of your youths for Separatists. Is it not even thus, O you sons of Yisra El? - an oracle of Yah Veh. ¹² And you have the Separatists drink wine; and misvah the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

¹⁵ for he becomes mega in the sight of Yah Veh, and no way drinks wine or intoxicants; and he is fills full/shalams with the Holy Spirit even from the womb of his mother:

¹⁹ And the two go until they come to Beth Lechem. And so be it, they come to Beth Lechem, and the whole city quakes about them and they say, Is this Noomiy? ²⁰ And she says to them, Call me not Noomiy/Pleasant; call me Bitter; for Shadday has mightily embittered me.

¹² And they lift their eyes afar off and recognize him not, and they lift their voice and weep; and each man rips his mantle and sprinkles dust on his head toward the heavens:

²⁰ my bone adheres to my skin and to my flesh and I escape with the skin of my t`eeth.

¹⁷ my bones penetrate within me in the night; and my gnawing lies not down. ¹⁸ By the great force is my robe disguised; it binds around me as the mouth of my coat. ¹⁹ He casts me into the clay and I become as dust and ashes.

³⁰ My skin blackens on me; my bones scorch with parch.

²¹ his flesh finishes off that it not be seen; and his bones that have not been seen be exposed.

⁴ when by day and night your hand is heavy on me; my moisture turns into the parch of summer. Selah.

³ There is neither integrity in my flesh at the face of your rage; nor any shalom in my bones at the face of my sin.

³ For my days finish off as smoke and my bones scorch as a burning: ⁴ my heart is smitten and withers as herbage; so that I forget to eat my bread: ⁵ by reason of the voice of my sighing my bones adhere to my flesh:

¹¹ my days spread as a shadow; and I wither as herbage.

⁸³ For I become as a skin in smoke; yet I forget not your statutes.

¹⁴ As many astonish at you; his visage so ruined by man; and his form by the sons of humanity:

¹
THE FOURTH LAMENTATION
How the gold fades - the good ore changes; - the stones of the holies poured out in the top of all the outways! ² The esteemed sons of Siyon, balanced to pure gold, how they are reckoned as pottery bottles, the work of the hands of the former!

¹⁰ our skin shrivels as an oven because of the raging famine.

⁶ In front of their face the people writhe: all faces gather flushness:

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

³⁹ and those of you who survive pine away in their perversity in the lands of your enemies; and also in the perversities of their fathers they pine away with them.

⁴ they die deaths of sicknesses; - neither chopped after nor entombed; - as dung on the face of the soil: - finished off by the sword and by famine; and their carcases are meat for the flyers of the heavens and for the animals of the earth.

²³ with your tiaras on your heads and your shoes on your feet: neither chop nor weep; and you desolate for your perversities, and growl - man toward brother.

¹⁰ And you, O son of humanity, say to the house of Yisra El; say thus, saying, Surely our rebellions and our sins are on us, and we vanish in them: how then live we?

⁴⁸ My eye cascades with rivulets of water for the breech of the daughter of my people:

³ Even the monsters strip the breast; they suckle their whelps: the daughter of my people is cruel, as ostriches in the wilderness.

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. ²² For I kindle a fire in my wrath and burn to the nethermost sheol and consume the earth with her produce and inflame the foundations of the mountains. ²³ I scrape together evils on them; I finish off my arrows on them. ²⁴ Exhausted by famine, devoured by burning heat and bitter ruin: I also send the teeth of animals on them, with the poison of creepers of the dust. ²⁵ The sword outside and terror from the chambers bereaves both youth and virgin, the suckling with the man of grayness.

¹¹ and I am filled with the fury of Yah Veh; I am weary of containing: I pour it out on the suckling in the outways and on the private counsel of youths together: for they even capture the man with the woman - the elder with him who is full of days: ¹² and turn their houses to others together with their fields and women: for I spread my hand on the settlers of the land - an oracle of Yah Veh.

²⁰ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh; Behold, my wrath and my fury poured on this place - on humanity and on animal and on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the soil: and it burns and quenches not.

⁹ Visit I them not for these? - an oracle of Yah Veh Avenge I not my soul on such a goyim as this? 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. ¹¹ and I give Yeru Shalem to heaps and a habitation of monsters; and I work the cities of Yah Hudah desolate without settler.

¹⁴ and I shatter them, man against brother - even the fathers and the sons together - an oracle of Yah Veh: I neither compassion nor spare nor mercy - for their ruin.

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: ¹⁶ and the people to whom they prophesy are cast out in the outways of Yeru Shalem at the face of the famine and the sword: and there is no one to entomb them - them, their women, their sons and their daughters: for I pour their evil on them.

¹
JUDGMENT
And Yah Veh says to me, Though Mosheh and Shemu El stand at my face, yet my soul is not toward this people: send them from my face, and go. ² And so be it, if they say to you, Where go we? you say to them, Thus says Yah Veh: Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity: ³ and upon them I visit four families - an oracle of Yah Veh the sword to slaughter and the dogs to drag and the flyers of the heavens and the animals of the earth to devour and ruin: ⁴ and I give them for an agitation into all sovereigndoms of the earth, because of Menash Sheh the son of Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, for what he worked in Yeru Shalem.

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

³ and say, Hear the word of Yah Veh, O sovereigns of Yah Hudah and settlers of Yeru Shalem; thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth, Elohim of Yisra El: Behold, I bring evil on this place, by which whoever hears, his ears tingle: ⁴ because they forsake me and recognize this place; and incense therein to other elohim - whom neither they nor their fathers nor the sovereigns of Yah Hudah knew; and fill this place with the blood of innocents; ⁵ and build the bamahs of Baal to burn their sons with fire for holocausts to Baal - which I neither misvahed nor worded - nor ascended into my heart. ⁶ So behold, days come, - an oracle of Yah Veh that this place is no more called Topheth, or Gay Ben Hinnom/Valley of the Son of Burning, but Gay Haregah/Valley of Slaughter: ⁷ and I vacate the counsel of Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem in this place; and I fell them by the sword at the face of their enemies, and by the hands of them seeking their souls: and I give their carcases for food for the flyers of the heavens and for the animals of the earth: ⁸ and I set this city desolate and a hissing: every one who passes by astonishes and hisses because of all the wounds. ⁹ And I feed them the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters; and every man eats the flesh of his friend in the siege and distress, whereby their enemies and they seeking their souls, distress them. ¹⁰ And you break the bottle in the eyes of the men going with you, ¹¹ and say to them, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: Thus I break this people and this city, as one breaks an instrument of the former that it cannot be healed again: and they entomb them in Topheth until there is no place to entomb.

¹⁴ And I visit on you according to the fruit of your exploits - an oracle of Yah Veh and I kindle a fire in the forest and it consumes all around it.

¹⁹ Behold, a storm of Yah Veh comes in fury - even a whirling storm: whirling on the head of the wicked. ²⁰ The wrath of Yah Veh turns not back until he works and until he raises the intrigue of his heart: in the latter days you discern with discernment.

⁸ And as the evil figs, not eaten for their evil, thus says Yah Veh: Thus I give Sidqi Yah the sovereign of Yah Hudah and his governors and the survivors of Yeru Shalem who survive in this land - who settle in the land of Misrayim: ⁹ and I give them for an agitation into all the sovereigndoms of the earth for evil - a reproach and a proverb - a gibe and an abasement in all places I drive them: ¹⁰ and I send the sword the famine and the pestilence among them - until they are consumed from off the soil - I give to them and to their fathers.

⁸ Yah Veh machinates to ruin the wall of the daughter of Siyon: he spreads a line; he turns not back his hand from swallowing; and he has the trench and the wall lament; they languish together:

¹⁷ Yah Veh works what he intrigued; he cut the saying he commanded in the days of antiquity; he demolished and spared not; and he has your enemy to cheer over you: he lifts the horn of your tribulators.

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.

⁴⁷ and say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of Yah Veh; Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Behold, I kindle a fire in you; and it consumes every fresh tree in you and every dry tree: the flaming flame quenches not; and all faces from the south to the north inflame: ⁴⁸ and all flesh sees that I Yah Veh burn it: it quenches not.

³¹ and I pour my rage on them; I finished them off with the fire of my wrath: I give their own way on their heads - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

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.

²² For these are the days of vengeance, to fulfill/shalam all that is scribed.

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.

⁴ For behold, the sovereigns congregate; they pass by together: ⁵ they see; thus they marvel: they terrify; and haste away: ⁶ trembling holds them there - pangs, as of birthing.

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

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.

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 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:

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.

¹¹ For both prophet and priest profane; yes, in my house I found their evil - an oracle of Yah Veh. ¹² So their way is to them as slippery in the darkness: they are overthrown and fall therein: for I bring evil on them - the year of their visitation - an oracle of Yah Veh. ¹³ And I see frivolity in the prophets of Shomeron; they prophesy in Baal, and stray my people Yisra El: ¹⁴ and I see a horror in the prophets of Yeru Shalem; they adulterize and walk in falsehoods: yes, they strengthen the hands of vilifiers so that no man returns from his evil: they all are to me as Sedom and the settlers as Amorah. ¹⁵ So thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth concerning the prophets: Behold, I feed them with wormwood and have them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Yeru Shalem profaneness goes into all the land. 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! ¹⁸ - for who stands in the private counsel of Yah Veh and sees and hears his word? Who hearkens to his word, and hears? ¹⁹ Behold, a storm of Yah Veh comes in fury - even a whirling storm: whirling on the head of the wicked. ²⁰ The wrath of Yah Veh turns not back until he works and until he raises the intrigue of his heart: in the latter days you discern with discernment. ²¹ I sent not these prophets, yet they run: I worded not to them, yet they prophesy.

⁸ And so be it, Yirme Yah finishes wording all Yah Veh misvahs him to word to all the people; and the priests and the prophets and all the people apprehend him, saying, In dying, you die! ⁹ Why prophesy you in the name of Yah Veh, saying, This house becomes as Shiloh, and this city parched without a settler? - and all the people congregate against Yirme Yah in the house of Yah Veh.

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.

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.

¹¹ The heads judge for a bribe and the priests teach for a price, and the prophets divine for silver: yet they lean on Yah Veh, saying, Is not Yah Veh among us? Evil approaches us not! ¹² So because of you Siyon is plowed as a field and Yeru Shalem becomes heaps; and the mountain of the house as the bamahs of the forest.

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:

³¹ So you witness to yourselves that you are the sons of them who murdered the prophets:

³³ You serpents! You progeny of vipers! How can you flee the judgment of Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning? ³⁴ Because of this, behold, I apostolize to you prophets and wise men and scribes: and of them, you slaughter and stake and of them, you scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city: ³⁵ so that all the just blood poured on the earth comes upon you - from the blood of just Abel - to the blood of Zechar Yah son of Berech Yah whom you murdered between the nave and the sacrifice altar. ³⁶ Amen! I word to you, All these come upon this generation. ³⁷
YAH SHUA LAMENTS OVER YERU SHALEM
O, Yeru Shalem! Yeru Shalem! - you who slaughter the prophets and stone them apostolized to you! how often I willed to gather your children together - even in the manner a hen gathers her young under her wings - and you willed not!

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

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

¹⁵ who slaughtered both Adonay Yah Shua and their own prophets and persecuted us; and they please not Elohim and are contrary to all humanity: ¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the goyim to be saved - to fill full/shalam their sins alway: for the wrath arrives upon them to completion/shalom.

¹⁶ and whoever touches someone pierced with a sword in the face of the fields, or that died, or a bone of a human, or a tomb, becomes foul seven days.

³³ And profane not the land wherein you are; for blood profanes the land: and you cannot kapar/atone the land for the blood poured therein, except by the blood of him who poured it.

²⁸ Yah Veh smites you with insanity and blindness and consternation of heart: ²⁹ and at noon, you grope in darkness as the blind grope; and you prosper not in your ways: and you become only oppressed and stripped all days and no man saves you.

¹⁵ And in spreading your palms, I conceal my eyes from you: yes, your abounding prayers I hear not: your hands are filled with blood.

¹⁰ For Yah Veh libates the spirit of sound sleep upon you: and binds your eyes - the prophets and your heads - the seers, he covers. ¹¹ And all the vision becomes to you as the words of a sealed scroll - which they give to one knowing the scroll, saying, Call this out, I beseech you! And he says, I cannot; for it is sealed! ¹² And the scroll is given to him who knows not the scroll, saying, Call this out! And he says, I know not the scroll!

¹⁰ His watchers are blind; they know not: they are all mute dogs; they cannot bark: dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.

⁹ So judgment removes far from us and justness overtakes us not: we await light; and behold, obscurity: for brilliancies; and we walk in darkness: ¹⁰ we grope for the wall as the blind; and we grope as if we have no eyes: we falter at noon as in the evening breeze; in fertile fields as the dead: ¹¹ we roar as bears - we all; and in cooing, coo as doves: we await judgment, and there is none; for salvation, and it removes far from us.

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

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

⁶ So your night is without a vision and darkness without a divination: and the sun goes down over the prophets and the day darkens over them: ⁷ and the seers shame and the diviners blush: yes, they all cover their upper lip; for there is no answer, O Elohim.

¹⁴ Allow them: they are blind guides of the blind: and whenever the blind guide the blind both fall into the cistern.

¹⁸ darkened in mind - alienated from the life of Elohim through the unknowingness in them through the petrifaction of their heart:

⁴⁵ And the leper in whom the plague is, tears his clothes and exposes his head and he puts a covering on his upper lip and calls, Foul! Foul! ⁴⁶ - all the days the plague is in him he becomes foul; - he is foul: he settles alone; outside the camp is his settlement.

⁷ cursed be their wrath, for it is strong; and their fury, for it is hard: I allot them in Yaaqov and scatter them in Yisra El.

³³ and I scatter you among the goyim and draw a sword after you: and desolate your land and parch your cities. ³⁴ Then the land is pleased in her shabbaths as long as it desolates; with you in the land of your enemies; then the land shabbathizes and is pleased in her shabbaths: ³⁵ as long as it desolates, it shabbathizes; because it shabbathizes not in your shabbaths when you settle there. ³⁶ And on those who survive, I send a timidity into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the voice of a driven leaf pursues them; and they flee as retreating from a sword; and they fall when none pursues: ³⁷ and they falter - man to brother as at the face of a sword when none pursues: and you have no resistance at the face of your enemies: ³⁸ and you destruct among the goyim and the land of your enemies eats you: ³⁹ and those of you who survive pine away in their perversity in the lands of your enemies; and also in the perversities of their fathers they pine away with them.

²⁵ Yah Veh gives you, smitten at the face of your enemies: you go against them one way and flee their face seven ways: - removed into all the sovereigndoms of the earth.

⁶⁴ and Yah Veh scatters you among all people from the end of the earth to the end of the earth; and there you serve other elohim which neither you nor your fathers know - timber and stone. ⁶⁵ And among these goyim you neither blink nor rest the sole of your foot: and there Yah Veh gives you a quivering heart and failing of eyes and sorrow of soul:

²⁶ I say, I blow them away, I shabbathize their memorial from among men.

¹⁸ And the great slaughterer takes Sera Yah the head priest and Sephan Yah the second priest and the three guards of the threshold: ¹⁹ and from the city he takes one eunuch - overseer over the men of war and five of their men who see the face of the sovereign whom they find in the city; and the scribe of the governor of the host who hosts the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land whom they find in the city: ²⁰ and Nebu Zaradan captain of the slaughterers takes them and walks them to the sovereign of Babel to Riblah: ²¹ and the sovereign of Babel smites them and deathifies them at Riblah in the land of Hamath: and he exiles Yah Hudah from their soil.

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:

⁴⁴ He saw their tribulation when he heard their shouting;

¹⁴ and Yah Veh cuts off from Yisra El head and tail, palm leaf and rush, in one day. ¹⁵ The elder and lifted face, he is the head; and the prophet teaching falsehood, he is the tail. ¹⁶ For this people who blithe them cause them to stray; and the blithed are swallowed.

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

⁹ and I give them for an agitation into all the sovereigndoms of the earth for evil - a reproach and a proverb - a gibe and an abasement in all places I drive them:

⁹ not according to the covenant I made with their fathers in the day I held their hand to lead them from the land of Misrayim - because they abode not in my covenant and I also disregarded them, words Yah Veh.

⁷ And the sovereign of Misrayim adds not to go from his land any more: for the sovereign of Babel took all that pertained to the sovereign of Misrayim - from the wadi of Misrayim to the river Euphrates.

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

¹
HO TO THE REVOLTING SONS
Ho to the revolting sons - an oracle of Yah Veh who work counsel, but not mine; and who pour a pouring, but not of my spirit, who scrape up sin to sin: ² who walk to descend into Misrayim, and ask not at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the stronghold of Paroh, and to seek refuge in the shadow of Misrayim! ³ So the stronghold of Paroh becomes your shame; and the trust in the shadow of Misrayim your shame. ⁴ For his governors were at Soan and his angels touched Hanes: ⁵ they all shame by a people who benefit them not - neither a help nor benefit - but for shame and also for reproach. ⁶
THE BURDEN OF THE ANIMALS OF THE SOUTH
The burden of the animals of the south: Into the land of tribulation and distress from whence the roaring lion and the old lion, the hisser and flying seraph - who bear their valuables on the shoulders of colts and their treasures on the humps of camels to a people who benefit them not. ⁷ Yes, the Misrayim are vanity and help in vain: so concerning this, I call out, Their pride is to shabbathize!

¹
HO TO THEM WHO LOOK NOT UPON THE HOLY ONE
Ho to them who descend to Misrayim for help; and lean on horses and confide in chariots because they are many; and in cavalry because they are mighty mighty; and neither look to the Holy One of Yisra El nor seek Yah Veh. ² Yet he also is wise and brings evil and turns not aside his words: but rises against the house of the vilifiers, and against the help of them who work mischief. ³ And the Misrayim are human, and not El; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When Yah Veh spreads his hand the helper falters and the helped falls and they all finish together.

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?

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

²⁰ The harvest passes; the summer concludes; and we - we are not saved.

⁷ Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: Say thus to the sovereign of Yah Hudah, who sent you to me to enquire of me: Behold, the valiant of Paroh who come to help you return to Misrayim into their own land: ⁸ and the Kesediym return and fight against this city and capture it and burn it with fire. ⁹ Thus says Yah Veh: Deceive not your souls, saying, The Kesediym walk and go from us! - for they go not. ¹⁰ For though you smite all the valiant of the Kesediym who fight against you, and there survives but wounded men among them, every man rises from his tent to burn this city with fire.

⁷ Yeru Shalem remembers the days of her humiliation and of her persecutions; all her desires from the days of antiquity - when her people fell into the hand of the tribulator and she had no helper: the tribulators saw her and ridiculed her shabbathisms.

¹⁹ I call for my beloveds; they - they deceive me; my priests and my elders expire in the city while they seek food to restore their souls.

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

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

¹⁴ After whom goes the sovereign of Yisra El? After whom pursues he? After a dead dog? After one flea?

⁴ and the city splits - all the men of war by night by the way of the portal between two walls by the garden of the sovereign: - and the Kasdiy are against the city all around: and go the way toward the plain. ⁵ And the valiant of the Kasdiy pursue the sovereign and overtake him in the plains of Yericho; and all his valiant scatter from him:

¹⁶ for it rises; you hunt me as a roaring lion; you turn back; you show yourself marvellous in me;

¹¹ Establish no man of tongue in the earth; evil hunts the man of violence - to overthrow him.

¹² And Yah Veh says to me, You well-please in seeing: for I watch my word to work it.

¹⁶ Behold, I send for many fishers; - an oracle of Yah Veh and they fish them: and afterward, I send for many hunters; and they hunt them from every mountain and from every hill and from the holes of the rocks.

⁴ And so be it, Sidqi Yah the sovereign of Yah Hudah and all the men of war see them, and they flee, and go from the city by night by the way of the garden of the sovereign by the portal between the two walls: and he goes the way of the plain. ⁵ And the valiant of the Kesediym pursue them and overtake Sidqi Yah in the plains of Yericho: and they take him and ascend him to Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel to Riblah in the land of Hamath - where he words judgment on him.

³³ For thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El: The daughter of Babel is as a threshingfloor; it is time to tread her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest comes.

⁷ Then the city splits and all the men of war flee; and go from the city by night by the way of the portal between the two walls by the garden of the sovereign - the Kesediym are all around the city; and they go by the way of the plain: ⁸ and the valiant of the Kesediym pursue the sovereign and overtake Sidqi Yah in the plains of Yericho; and all his valiant scatter from him: ⁹ and they apprehend the sovereign, and ascend him to the sovereign of Babel - to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he words judgment on him.

⁵² In hunting, my enemies hunt me as a bird - gratuitously;

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:

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.

² and he says, Amos, what see you? And I say, A basket of summer fruit. And Yah Veh says to me, The end comes on my people of Yisra El; I add not to pass by them any more.

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;

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: ²⁷ no one languishes nor falters among them; no one slumbers nor sleeps; neither loosens the girdle of their loins, nor tears the latchet of their shoes: ²⁸ whose arrows are pointened and all their bows bent; the hoofs of their horses fabricate as flint and their whirlers as a hurricane:

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

¹³ Behold, he ascends as clouds, and his chariots as a hurricane: swifter than eagles are his horses. Woe to us! For we are ravaged!

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

¹⁴ and the flight destructs from the swift: neither the strong strengthens his force nor the mighty rescues his soul:

¹
JUDGMENT OF YAH VEH
I see Adonay stationed on the sacrifice altar; and he says, Smite the lintel of the door, so as to quake the thresholds: and crop them in the head - all of them; and I slaughter the last of them with the sword: and he who flees, flees not to them, and the escapee escapes not to them. ² And if they dig into sheol my hand takes them from there; and if they ascend to the heavens I bring them down from there: ³ and if they hide in the top of Karmel/orchard I search and take them from there; and if they hide from my eyes in the floor of the sea I misvah the serpent to bite them there;

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:

²⁷
THE PAROUSIA OF YAH SHUA
For exactly as the lightning comes from the rising and manifests even to the lowering - thus also becomes the parousia of the Son of humanity ²⁸ for wherever the carcase, the eagles gather together.

⁷ and Yah Veh Elohim forms Adam of the dust of the soil and puffs into his nostrils the breath of life; and Adam becomes a living soul.
THE GARDEN OF EDEN

³⁰ And now, when I come to your servant my father, and the lad is not with us; seeing that his soul is bound up in the soul of the lad;

³ Behold, here am I: answer against me in front of Yah Veh and in front of his anointed: Whose ox took I? Whose he burro took I? Whom extorted I? Whom crushed I? Of whose hand took I a koper/an atonement to veil my eyes therewith? - and I restore it to you.

⁵ And he says to them, Yah Veh is witness against you and his anointed is witness this day, that you find not aught in my hand. And they say, He is witness.

⁶ And so be it, they come, and he sees Eli Ab and says, Surely the anointed of Yah Veh is in front of him.

⁶ and he says to his men, Far be it, that I work this word to my adoni, the anointed of Yah Veh - to send my hand against him seeing he is the anointed of Yah Veh.

¹⁰ Behold, this day your eyes see how that today Yah Veh gave you into my hand in the cave: and said to slaughter you; but I spared you: and I said, I send not my hand against my adoni; for he is the anointed of Yah Veh:

⁹ And David says to Abi Shai, Ruin him not: for who may send his hand against the anointed of Yah Veh and be exonorated?

¹⁶ this word you work is not good: Yah Veh lives - you are sons of death, because you guard not your adoni, the anointed of Yah Veh: and now see where the spear of the sovereign is and the cruse of water at his headpieces.

¹⁴ And David says to him, How is it you awed not to send your hand to ruin the anointed of Yah Veh?

²¹ You mountains of Gilboa, - neither dew nor rain be on you nor fields of exaltments: for there the buckler of the mighty loaths - the buckler of Shaul as not anointed with oil.

³ And the people say, You go not: for in fleeing, if we flee, neither set they their heart on us; nor if half of us die, set they their heart on us: but now you are as ten thousand of us: and now it is better that you help us from the city.

²¹ And Abi Shai the son of Seruyah answers and says, Was not Shimi deathified for this - because he abased the anointed of Yah Veh?

²⁰ I found David my servant; with my holy ointment I anoint him; ²¹ with whom I establish my hand; my arm strengthens him:

⁵ And the valiant of the Kesediym pursue them and overtake Sidqi Yah in the plains of Yericho: and they take him and ascend him to Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel to Riblah in the land of Hamath - where he words judgment on him.

⁸ and the valiant of the Kesediym pursue the sovereign and overtake Sidqi Yah in the plains of Yericho; and all his valiant scatter from him:

⁹ her portals sink into the earth; he destroys and breaks her bars; her sovereign and her governors are among the goyim; the torah is not; her prophets also find no vision from Yah Veh:

¹³ and I spread my net on him, and apprehend him in my lure: and I bring him to Babel to the land of the Kesediym; yet he sees it not, though he dies there:

¹⁸ seeing he despises the oath by breaking the covenant, and behold, he gives his hand to work all these; he escapes not.

⁴ and the goyim hear of him and apprehend him in their pit of ruin: and with hooks they bring him to the land of Misrayim. ⁵ when she sees, that in waiting, her hope destructs, she takes one of her whelps, and sets him a whelp: ⁶ and he goes up and down among the lions, he becomes a whelp and learns to prey and devours humanity. ⁷ And he knows their abandonments; and he parches their cities; and the land, and the fulness thereof desolates by the voice of his roaring. ⁸ And the goyim give against him from all around the jurisdictions; and spread their net over him: and apprehend him in their pit of ruin:

²⁸ These are the sons of Dishan: Us and Aran.

¹⁹ For Yah Veh humbles Yah Hudah because of Achaz sovereign of Yisra El - for he exposed Yah Hudah and in treasoning, treasoned against Yah Veh.

¹ There was a man in the land of Us, his name, Iyob; and that man being integrious and straight; and one awing Elohim and turning aside from evil.

³ they strategize private counsel against your people; and counsel against your treasured ones. ⁴ They say, Come; and we cut them off from the goyim; that the name of Yisra El be no more remembered. ⁵ For they counseled together with one heart; they cut a covenant against you ⁶ - the tents of Edom and the Yishma Eliym, of Moab and the Hagariym, ⁷ Gebal and Ammon and Amaleq, the Peleshethiym with the settlers of Sor ⁸ and Ashshur joins with them - an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah. ⁹ Work them as to Midyan; as Sisera, as Yabiyn, at the wadi of Qishon; ¹⁰ desolated at En Dor, to become as dung for the soil. ¹¹ Place their volunteers as Oreb, as Zebach; yes, all their libations as Zebach, as Sal Munna; ¹² Who say, Possess the folds of Elohim!

⁷ Remember, O Yah Veh, the sons of Edom in the day of Yeru Shalem who say, Strip naked - strip naked to the foundation!

⁹ Cheer, O youth, in your youth; that your heart better you in the days of your youth; walk in the ways of your heart and in the visage of your eyes; and know this: that for all these Elohim brings you into judgment.

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: ² for the rage of Yah Veh is on all goyim, and his fury on all their hosts: he devotes them; he gives them to the slaughter: ³ and their pierced are cast out and their stink ascends from their carcases and the mountains melt with their blood: ⁴ and all the host of the heavens dissolves and the heavens roll together as a scroll: and all their host withers as the leaf withers from the vine - as a withering from the fig tree. ⁵ For my sword saturates in the heavens: behold, it descends on Edom and on the people of my devotement to judgment. ⁶ The sword of Yah Veh fills with blood, - fattens with fat with the blood of rams and he goats; with the fat of the reins of rams: for Yah Veh - a sacrifice in Bosrah and a great slaughter in the land of Edom. ⁷ And the reems descend with them and the bullocks with the mighty; and their land saturates with blood and their dust fattens with fat: ⁸ for it is the day of avengement of Yah Veh and the year of satisfactions for the strife of Siyon. ⁹ And the wadies turn into asphalt and the dust into sulphur and the land becomes burning asphalt ¹⁰ - not quenched night or day; the smoke ascends eternally: from generation to generation it lies parched; no one passes through in perpetuity. ¹¹ And the pelican and the bittern possess it; and the owl and the raven tabernacle therein: and thereon, he spreads the line of waste, and the stones of emptiness. ¹² They call the nobles to the kingdom but no one is there; and all her governors decease: ¹³ and thorns ascend in her citadels - thistles and thorns in the fortresses: and it becomes a habitation of rest of monsters - a court for daughters of the owls: ¹⁴ and the desert dwellers meet with the island howlers; and the buck calls to his friend; and the night spectre rests there, and finds a place of rest for herself: ¹⁵ there the arrowsnake nests and escapes and splits and broods under her shadow: and there the falcons gather - every woman with her friend. ¹⁶ Seek the scroll of Yah Veh, and call out! Not one of these lack! No woman oversees her mate: for my mouth misvahs, and his spirit gathers them: ¹⁷ and he fells the pebble for them, and his hand allots to them by line: they possess it eternally, from generation to generation they tabernacle therein.

THE DAY OF YAH VEH
Who is this coming from Edom - with dazzling clothes from Bozrah? This who is esteemed in his robe strolling in the greatness of his force? I speaking in justness, great to save. ² Why are you red in your robe and your clothes as treading in the winefat? ³ I tread the press by myself; and of the people, no man is with me: and I tread them in my wrath and trample them in my fury: and I sprinkle their squeezings on my clothes and profane all my robe. ⁴ For the day of avengement is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. ⁵ And I look, and there is no one to help; and I astonish that there is no one to uphold: and my own arm saves me; and my fury upholds me: ⁶ and I trample the people in my anger and intoxicate them in my fury and I bring down their squeezings to the earth.

¹⁵ For thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El to me: Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and have all the goyim, to whom I send you, drink: ¹⁶ and they drink and agitate and halal at the face of the sword I send among them. ¹⁷ And I take the cup from the hand of Yah Veh and have all the goyim drink - to whom Yah Veh sent me: ¹⁸ Yeru Shalem and the cities of Yah Hudah; and the sovereigns and the governors - to give them a parched area, a desolation; a hissing and an abasement; as this day: ¹⁹ Paroh sovereign of Misrayim and his servants and his governors and all his people; ²⁰ and all the comingled and all the sovereigns of the land of Us; and all the sovereigns of the land of the Peleshethiym; and Ashqelon and Azzah and Eqron and the survivors of Ashdod; ²¹ Edom and Moab and the sons of Ammon; ²² and all the sovereigns of Sor; and all the sovereigns of Sidon; and the sovereigns of the islands beyond the sea; ²³ Dedan and Tema and Buz and all who chop the edges; ²⁴ and all the sovereigns of Arabia; and all the sovereigns of the comingled who tabernacle in the wilderness; ²⁵ and all the sovereigns of Zimri; and all the sovereigns of Elam; and all the sovereigns of the Maday; ²⁶ and all the sovereigns of the north, far and near, man with brother; and all the sovereigndoms of the earth on the face of the soil: and the sovereigns of Sheshach drink after them. ²⁷ And say to them, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El: You, drink and intoxicate and vomit and fall and rise no more at the face of the sword I send among you. ²⁸ And so be it, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink then you say to them, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth; In drinking, drink! ²⁹ For, behold, I begin to vilify the city on which my name is called. And in exonerating, are you exonerated? You are not unpunished: for I call for a sword on all the settlers of the earth - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth.

¹² For thus says Yah Veh: Behold, they whose judgment is to not drink of the cup in drinking, they drink; and are you he, who in exonerating, is exonerated? You are not exonerated, but in drinking, you drink thereof.

⁶ For thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you clap the hand, and stamp the foot, and cheer in soul with all your despite against the soil of Yisra El;

THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING MOAB AND SEIR
Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because of the saying of Moab and Seir, Behold, Yah Hudah is as all the goyim;

¹²
THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING EDOM
Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because Edom works against the house of Yah Hudah by avenging avengement, and in guilting, guilts, and avenges himself on them; ¹³ so thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I also spread my hand on Edom and cut off humanity and animal from it: and I give it parched from Teman; and they of Dedan fall by the sword: ¹⁴ and I give my avengement on Edom by the hand of my people Yisra El: and they work in Edom according to my wrath and according to my fury; and they know my avengement - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

² Son of humanity, because Sor says against Yeru Shalem, saying, Aha, she is broken - the doors of the people: she turns to me: I am fulfilled; she is parched.

³ and say to it, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Behold, O mount Seir, I am against you and I spread my hand against you; and I give you desolation and desolation. ⁴ I set your cities parched and desolate you; and you know I - Yah Veh. ⁵ Because of your eternal enmity, and you pour the sons of Yisra El by the hands of the sword in the time of their calamity - in the time of the perversity of the end: ⁶ So, I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh I work you to blood; and blood pursues you: since you hate not blood, blood also pursues you. ⁷ And I give mount Seir desolation and desolation; and cut off from it him who passes and him who returns: ⁸ and I fill his mountains with his pierced: in your hills and in your valleys and in all your reservoirs the pierced fall with the sword. ⁹ I give you eternal desolations, and settle not your cities: and you know I - Yah Veh.

¹¹ So, I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh and I work according to your wrath and according to the envy you work by your hatred against them; and I make myself known among them when I judge you: ¹² and you know I - Yah Veh, and that I hear all the scornings you say against the mountains of Yisra El, saying, They are desolated; they are given us for food. ¹³ And with your mouth you greaten against me; and with your words abound against me: I hear them. ¹⁴ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: When the whole earth cheers, I work you desolate ¹⁵ - as your cheerfulness at the inheritance of the house of Yisra El, because it is desolated, thus I work to you: you are desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom - all thereof: and they know I - Yah Veh.

¹¹ Thus says Yah Veh: For three rebellions of Edom, and for four, I restore them not; because of pursuing his brother with the sword and ruining his mercies and tearing his wrath eternally; and guarding his wrath in perpetuity:

THE VISION OF OBAD YAH CONCERNING EDOM
The vision of Obad Yah: Thus says Adonay Yah Veh concerning Edom: We hear a report from Yah Veh, and an ambassador is sent among the goyim, Rise; yes, rise against her in war.

¹⁰ For your violence against your brother Yaaqov, shame covers you; and you are severed eternally. ¹¹ In the day you stand on the other side, in the day the strangers capture his valiant, and strangers enter his portals, and handle pebbles on Yeru Shalem, even you are as one of them: ¹² and you neither see the day of your brother - the day he is estranged; nor cheer over the sons of Yah Hudah in the day of their destruction; nor greaten your mouth in the day of tribulation. ¹³ nor enter the portal of my people in the day of their calamity; yes, nor see their evil in the day of their calamity; nor spread over their valiant in the day of their calamity; ¹⁴ nor stand in the crossway to cut off his escapees; nor shut up his survivors in the day of tribulation. ¹⁵ For the day of Yah Veh is near on all the goyim: as you work, as worked to you: your dealing returns on your own head: ¹⁶ for as you drink on my holy mountain thus all the goyim drink continually - yes, they drink and they gulp, and they become as though they had never become.

¹¹ Pass on, you settler of Shaphir, naked one of shame: the settler of Saanan goes not; in the chopping of Beth Ha Esel; he takes his standing from you.

² I loved you - an oracle of Yah Veh. Yet you say, Wherein loved you us? Was not Esav the brother of Yaaqov? says Yah Veh; Yet I loved Yaaqov: ³ and I hated Esav; and set his mountains and his inheritance waste for the monsters of the wilderness. ⁴ Because Edom says, We are impoverished, and we return and build the parched areas. Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: They build, and I break down; and they call them, The border of wickedness: and, The people against whom Yah Veh enrages eternally.

¹⁵
THE THIRD BEATITUDE
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed - he who watches and guards his garments; lest he walk naked and they see his misbehavior.

² Word to the heart of Yeru Shalem and call out to her that her hostility is fulfilled - that her perversity is satisfied: for she takes double of the hand of Yah Veh for all her sins.

¹
SIYON REDEEMED
Waken! Waken! Enrobe your strength, O Siyon; enrobe your clothes of adornment, O Yeru Shalem, the holy city: for henceforth the uncircumcised and the foul add not to enter you.

¹⁸ Violence is heard no more in your land or ravage or breaking within your borders; and you call your walls, Salvation, and your portals, Halal.

⁴⁰ and I cut an eternal covenant with them to not turn away from after them to well-please them; and I give my fear in their hearts that they not turn aside from me.

⁸ and I purify them from all their perversity whereby they sinned against me; and I forgive all their perversities whereby they sinned and whereby they rebelled against me.

²⁷ And you, awe not, O my servant Yaaqov; and be not dismayed, O Yisra El: for behold, I save you from afar and your seed from the land of their captivity: and Yaaqov returns; and rests and relaxes: and no one frightens him. 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 In those days, and in that time, - an oracle of Yah Veh they seek the perversity of Yisra El, and there is none; and the sins of Yah Hudah, and they find them not: for I forgive them whom I leave remaining.

⁶ And the perversity of the daughter of my people greatens above the sin of Sodom - overturned as in a blink and no hands writhed over her.

²¹ Rejoice and cheer, O daughter of Edom, who settles in the land of Us; the cup also passes through to you; intoxicate and strip yourself naked:

²⁸ and the goyim know that I Yah Veh hallow Yisra El, when my holies is among them eternally.

⁴ Because Edom says, We are impoverished, and we return and build the parched areas. Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: They build, and I break down; and they call them, The border of wickedness: and, The people against whom Yah Veh enrages eternally.
