THE ORACLE OF AGUR
The words of Agur the son of Yaqeh: the burden: the oracle of the mighty to Ithi El - even to Ithi El and Ukal: ² For I am more stupid than man and have not the discernment of humanity: ³ neither learned I wisdom, nor know the knowledge of the holy. ⁴
PROPHECY OF THE SON OF HUMANITY
Who ascended to the heavens? Or descended? Who gathered the wind in his fists? Who narrowed the waters in a cloth? Who raised all the finalities of the earth? What is his name? What is the name of his son - if you know? ⁵ Every saying of Elohah is refined; he is a buckler to them who seek refuge in him. ⁶ Add not to his words; lest he reprove you and you be found a liar. ⁷ These two I ask of you; withhold them not ere I die; ⁸ vanity and words of lies, remove far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches; tear my statute bread for me; ⁹ - lest I satiate and deny you and say, Who is Yah Veh? Or lest I become dispossessed and steal and take the name of my Elohim. ¹⁰ Tongue-lash not a servant to his adoni, lest he abase you and you have guilted. ¹¹ There is a generation who abases their father and blesses not their mother: ¹² there is a generation - pure in their own eyes but not washed from their own dung: ¹³ there is a generation - how lofty their eyes! and their eyelids lifted: 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. ¹⁵ The horseleach has two daughters, Give! Give! These three are never satisfied; yes, four say not, Enough! ¹⁶ - sheol; the restrained womb; the earth not satiated with water; and the fire that says not, Enough! ¹⁷ The eye that derides father and disrespects to obey mother; the ravens of the wadi bore through and the sons of eagles eat. ¹⁸ These three are too marvellous for me; yes, four which I know not: ¹⁹ the way of an eagle in the heavens; the way of a serpent on a rock; the way of a ship in the heart of the sea; and the way of the mighty with a virgin. ²⁰ Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eats and wipes her mouth and says, I do no mischief. ²¹ These three quake the earth; and for four it cannot bear: ²² for a servant when he reigns; and a fool when he satiates with bread; ²³ for she who hates when she is married; and a maid who possesses her lady. ²⁴ These four are little on the earth; and in enwisening, they enwisen: 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; ²⁸ the lizard grabs with her hands and is in the manses of sovereigns. ²⁹ These three pace good; yes, four well-please in going: ³⁰ a lion mighty among animals who turns not from the face; ³¹ one girt in the loins; also a he goat; and a sovereign, against whom no one rises. ³² If you folly by lofting yourself, or if you intrigue, lay your hand on your mouth. ³³ Surely the churning of milk brings forth butter and the churning of the nostrils brings forth blood; thus the churning of wrath brings forth strife.

²¹ and he drinks of the wine and intoxicates; and he exposes himself midst his tent. ²² And Ham, the father of Kenaan, sees the nakedness of his father and tells his two brothers outside: ²³ and Shem and Yepheth take a cloth and set it on the shoulders of the two of them and go backward and cover the nakedness of their father; with their faces backward and they see not the nakedness of their father. ²⁴ And Noach wakens from his wine and knows what his younger son worked to him: ²⁵ and he says, Curse Kenaan; he becomes a servant of servants to his brethren. ²⁶ And he says, Blessed be Yah Veh Elohim of Shem; and Kenaan becomes his servant. ²⁷ Elohim enlarges Yepheth to tabernacle in the tents of Shem; and Kenaan becomes his servant.

THE COVENANT OF YAH VEH TO ABRAM
After these words, so be the word of Yah Veh to Abram in a vision, saying, Awe not, Abram! I am your buckler and your mighty abounding hire.

²⁰ And Yaaqov vows a vow, saying, Elohim is with me and guards me in this way I go and gives me bread to eat and clothing to enrobe,

¹ And Rachel sees that she births not to Yaaqov; and Rachel envies her sister; and says to Yaaqov, Give me sons - and if not I die.

²⁹ And Yaaqov asks him and says, Tell me, I beseech you, your name. And he says, Why ask you my name? - and he blesses him there.

¹⁵ And he blesses Yoseph and says, Elohim, at whose face my fathers Abraham and Yischaq walked, Elohim who tends me all my life long to this day, ¹⁶ the Angel who redeems me from all evil, bless the lads: and call my name on them and the name of my fathers Abraham and Yischaq: and that they spawn as fish into a multitude midst of the earth.

¹³ And Mosheh says to Elohim, Behold, I come to the sons of Yisra El and say to them, The Elohim of your fathers has sent me to you; and they say to me, What is his name? What say I to them? ¹⁴ And Elohim says to Mosheh, I AM who I AM: and he says, Say thus to the sons of Yisra El, I AM sent me to you. Read Yahn 8:58 ¹⁵ And again Elohim says to Mosheh, Say thus to the sons of Yisra El, Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers, Elohim of Abraham, Elohim of Yischaq and Elohim of Yaaqov, sends me to you: this is my name eternally and this is my memorial generation to generation.

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

³ and I was seen by Abraham, by Yischaq and by Yaaqov as El Shadday; but I was not known to them by my name Yah Veh:

⁴ for if you refuse to send my people away, behold, tomorrow I bring the locusts into your borders: ⁵ and they cover the eye of the earth, that no one can see the earth: and they eat the remainder which escaped - which survives to you from the hail; and eat every tree which sprouts for you from the field: ⁶ and they fill your houses and the houses of all your servants and the houses of all the Misrayim; which neither your fathers nor the fathers of your fathers have ever seen since the day they became on the soil, to this day. - and he turns his face and goes out from Paroh.

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.

¹⁵ And when the sons of Yisra El see it, they say, man to brother, Manna: for they know not what it is. And Mosheh says to them, This is the bread which Yah Veh gives you for food:

¹⁸ and when they measure it with an omer, he who greatens has no leftovers and he who lessens has no lack: every man gleaned according to the food of his mouth.

²¹ And they glean morning by morning - every man according to the food of his mouth: and when the sun heats, it melts. ²² And so be it, on the sixth day, they glean double bread, two omers for one: and all the hierarchs of the witness come and tell Mosheh.

²⁹ See, for Yah Veh gives you the shabbath: so on the sixth day he gives you the bread of two days: sit - every man in his place, that no man go from his place on the seventh day.

³⁵ and the sons of Yisra El eat manna forty years, until they come to a land settled; they eat manna until they come to the ends of the land of Kenaan.

⁷ Bear not the name of Yah Veh your Elohim in defamation; for Yah Veh exonerates him not who bears his name in defamation.

¹⁷ And he who abases his father, or his mother, in deathifying, deathify him.

¹⁶
GENERAL JUDGMENTS
And if a man dupes a virgin who is not betrothed and lies with her, in endowing, he endows her as his woman.

⁵ And Yah Veh descends in the cloud and stands with him there and proclaims the name of Yah Veh: ⁶ and Yah Veh passes by in front of his face and calls, Yah Veh! Yah Veh El! Merciful and charismatic, slow to wrath and great in mercy and truth, ⁷ guarding mercy for thousands, bearing perversity and rebellion and sin: and in exonerating, exonerates not; visiting the perversity of the fathers on the sons and on the sons of the sons to the third and to the fourth.

¹ And when another soul sins - and he hears or witnesses the voice of oathing - if he sees or knows thereof - and if he tells not he bears his perversity.

⁵ and the coney, though he regurgitates the cud, yet splits not the hoof; he is foul to you:

⁹ For a man - every man who abases his father or his mother in deathifying, deathify him: he abases his father or his mother; his blood is on him.

¹¹
THE TORAH OF SUSPICIONS
And Yah Veh words to Mosheh, saying, ¹² Word to the sons of Yisra El and say to them, A man - any man - when his woman deviates and treasons a treason against him; ¹³ and a man lies with her to give seed of copulation and conceals it from the eyes of her man and hides it and she becomes foul and there is no witness against her, and she was not manipulated; ¹⁴ and the spirit of suspicion passes on him and he suspects his woman and she becomes foul: or if the spirit of suspicion passes on him and he suspects his woman and she becomes not foul: ¹⁵ then the man brings his woman to the priest and he brings her qorban for her, the tenth of an ephah of barley flour; he neither pours oil thereon, nor puts frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of suspicion - an offering of memorial bringing perversity to remembrance. ¹⁶ And the priest oblates her and stands her at the face of Yah Veh: ¹⁷ and the priest takes holy water in a pottery instrument; and of the dust of the floor of the tabernacle the priest takes and gives it in the water: ¹⁸ and the priest stands the woman at the face of Yah Veh and exposes the head of the woman and gives the offering of memorial in her palms - the suspicion offering: and in his hand the priest has the bitter water that curses: ¹⁹ and the priest oaths and says to the woman, If no man has lain with you and if you deviated not to foulness instead of with your man, be exonerated from this bitter water that curses: ²⁰ but if you deviated from your man and if you fouled and some man gave to copulate with you - except for your man: ²¹ then the priest oaths the woman with an oath and the priest says to the woman, Yah Veh gives you an oath - an oath among your people, when Yah Veh gives your flank to fall off and your belly to swell; ²² and this water that curses goes into your inwards, to make your belly swell and your flank fall off. And the woman says, Amen! Amen! ²³ And the priest inscribes these oaths in a scroll and he wipes them with the bitter water: ²⁴ and he has the woman drink the bitter water that curses: and the water that curses enters into her and embitters. ²⁵ And the priest takes the suspicion offering from the hand of the woman and waves the offering at the face of Yah Veh and oblates it on the sacrifice altar: ²⁶ and the priest handles the offering - the memorial and incenses it on the sacrifice altar; and afterward has the woman drink the water. ²⁷ And when he has her drink the water, so be it, that if she fouled and treasoned a treason against her man, that the water that curses enters into her and embitters her and her belly swells and her flank falls off: and the woman becomes an oath among her people. ²⁸ And if the woman fouled not, but is pure, then she becomes exonerated and seeds seed. ²⁹ This is the torah of suspicions, when a woman deviates instead of her man and fouls; ³⁰ or when the spirit of suspicion passes on a man and he becomes suspicious of his woman and stands the woman at the face of Yah Veh and the priest works all this torah on her.

²⁴ Behold, the people rise as a roaring lion and lift himself as a lion: he lies not down until he eats of the prey and drinks the blood of the pierced.

² neither add to the word I misvah you, nor diminish from it - to guard the misvoth of Yah Veh your Elohim that I misvah you.

¹⁰ And so be it, when Yah Veh your Elohim brings you into the land he oathed to your fathers - to Abraham, to Yischaq and to Yaaqov, to give you great and goodly cities which you built not, ¹¹ and houses full of all goods which you filled not and hewn wells which you hewed not, vineyards and olive trees which you planted not; and eat and satiate; ¹² then guard, lest you forget Yah Veh, who brought you from the land of Misrayim, from the house of servants.

¹⁰ And when you eat and satiate, bless Yah Veh your Elohim for the good land he gives you. ¹¹ Guard that you not forget Yah Veh your Elohim, by not guarding his misvoth and his judgments and his statutes which I misvah you this day: ¹² lest when you eat and satiate and build goodly houses and settle; ¹³ and when your oxen and your flocks abound and your silver and your gold abound and all you have abounds; ¹⁴ and your heart lifts and you forget Yah Veh your Elohim who brought you from the land of Misrayim from the house of servants:

³² Whatever word I misvah you, guard to work it: neither add thereto, nor diminish therefrom.

⁹ Guard that there be no word in your heart of Beli Yaal, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, approaches; and you vilify your eye against your needy brother and you give him naught; and he calls to Yah Veh against you and it becomes sin to you;

¹⁸
THE TORAH ON A REVOLTING AND REBELLIOUS SON When a man has a revolting and rebellious son, who hearkens not to the voice of his father or the voice of his mother and that, when they discipline him, he hearkens not to them: ¹⁹ then his father and his mother capture him and bring him to the elders of his city and to the portal of his place; ²⁰ and they say to the elders of his city, This our son is revolting and rebellious, he hearkens not to our voice; he is a glutton and a carouser. ²¹ And all the men of his city stone him with stones and he dies: thus you burn evil from among you. - and all Yisra El hears and awes.

¹⁵
THE TORAH ON SERVANTS Deliver not to his adoni the servant who escaped to you from his adoni:

¹⁶ Cursed he who is abased by his father or his mother. - and all the people say, Amen.

²⁶ And your carcase becomes food for all flyers of the heavens and for the animals of the earth and no man trembles them.

⁵⁸ If you guard not to work all the words of this torah inscribed in this scroll, to awe this honored and awesome name, YAH VEH YOUR ELOHIM;

¹² nor in the heavens, saying, Who ascends the heavens and brings it to us, to hear it and work it?

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

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

²⁷ And Yah Shua says to all the people, Behold, this stone becomes a witness to us; for it hears all the sayings Yah Veh words to us: it becomes a witness to you lest you deny your Elohim.

¹⁸ And the angel of Yah Veh says to him, Why ask you thus after my name, seeing it is marvellous?

¹⁸ And the men of the city say to him on the seventh day ere the sun goes, What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion? And he says to them, Unless you had plowed with my heifer, you had not found out my riddle.

⁵ And the man Michah Yah has a house of elohim and works an ephod and teraphim and fills the hand of one of his sons who becomes his priest.

¹³ Then Michah Yah says, Now I know that Yah Veh is well-pleased, seeing I have a Leviy to my priest.

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

⁴⁴ And the Peleshethiy says to David, Come to me and I give your flesh to the flyers of the heavens and to the animals of the field.

⁹ And Doeg the Edomiy who is stationed over the servants of Shaul answers and says, I saw the son of Yishay coming to Nob - to Achiy Melech the son of Achiy Tub: ¹⁰ and he asked of Yah Veh for him; and gave him hunt and gave him the sword of Golyath the Peleshethiy.

⁹ and David says to Shaul, Why hear you human words, saying, Behold, David seeks your evil?

³ The name of the man is Nabal; and the name of his woman, Abi Gail - a woman of good comprehension and of a beautiful form: but the man is hard and evil in his exploits - and he is a Kalebiy.

¹⁰ And Nabal answers the servants of David and says, Who is David? Who is the son of Yishay? Now a days servants abound by the myriads - every man who breaks away from the face of his adoni: ¹¹ Take I my bread and my water and the slaughter I slaughter for my shearers and give it to men whom I know not whence they are?

²⁵ may not my adoni, I beseech you, set his heart to this man of Beli Yaal, Nabal: for as his name, thus is he: Nabal is his name and folly is with him: but I your maid saw not the lads of my adoni whom you sent.

³⁶ And Abi Gail comes to Nabal; and behold, he holds a banquet in his house, as the banquet of a sovereign; and the heart of Nabal is good within him, and he is mighty intoxicated: she tells him no word, less or great, until the morning light. ³⁷ And so be it, in the morning, the wine is gone from Nabal and his woman tells him these words; and his heart dies within him and he becomes as a stone. ³⁸ And so be it, about ten days, and Yah Veh smites Nabal and he dies.

¹⁹ Now I beseech you, that my adoni the sovereign hear the words of his servant: If Yah Veh goads you against me, have him scent an offering: and if sons of humanity, cursed are they at the face of Yah Veh; for they drive me out this day from being scraped into the inheritance of Yah Veh, saying, Go, serve other elohim.

¹⁵ And David says to him, Bring you me down to this troop? And he says, Oath to me by Elohim, that you neither deathify me nor shut me into the hands of my adoni - and I descend you to this troop. ¹⁶ And he descends him, and behold, they disperse upon the face of all the earth, eating and drinking and celebrating, because of all the great spoil they took from the land of the Peleshethiy and from the land of Yah Hudah.

¹
DAVID AND SIBA
And David is a little past the top, and behold, Siba the lad of Mephi Bosheth meets him with a pair of harnessed he burros; and on them two hundred bread and a hundred raisincakes and a hundred summer fruits and a bag of wine. ² And the sovereign says to Siba, What mean you by these? And Siba says, The he burros are for the house of the sovereign to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the lads to eat; and the wine, for such as are weary in the wilderness to drink. ³ And the sovereign says, Where is the son of your adoni? And Siba says to the sovereign, Behold, he settles at Yeru Shalem: for he says, Today the house of Yisra El restores to me the sovereigndom of my father. ⁴ Then the sovereign says to Siba, Behold, you are all to Mephi Bosheth. And Siba says, I prostrate to you to find charism in your eyes, my adoni, O sovereign.

⁹
THE DEATH OF ABI SHALOM
And Abi Shalom faces the servants of David: and Abi Shalom rides on a mule; and the mule goes under the thicket of a great oak; and the oak holds his head given between the heavens and between the earth; and the mule under him passes on. ¹⁰ And one man sees it and tells Yah Ab and says, Behold, I see Abi Shalom hang in an oak.

¹⁴ Then Yah Ab says, Not so: I await at your face. And he takes three scions in his palm and stakes them through the heart of Abi Shalom while he is yet alive in the heart of the oak: ¹⁵ and ten lads bearing the instruments of Yah Ab surround Abi Shalom and smite and deathify him: ¹⁶ and Yah Ab blasts the shophar and the people return from pursuing Yisra El: for Yah Ab restrains the people. ¹⁷ And they take Abi Shalom and cast him into a great pit in the forest and station a mighty great heap of stones on him: and all Yisra El flees every man to his tent.

²⁶ And he says, My adoni, O sovereign, my servant deceived me: for your servant said, I harness me a he burro to ride and go to the sovereign - because your servant is lame; ²⁷ and he treaded against your servant to my adoni the sovereign; and my adoni the sovereign is as an angel of Elohim: so work whatever is good in your eyes:

¹⁰ And Rispah the daughter of Ajah takes saq and spreads it for her on the rock - from the beginning of harvest until water from the heavens pours on them and gives neither the flyers of the heavens to rest on them by day nor the live beings of the field by night.

⁵ In Gibon Yah Veh is seen by Shelomoh in a dream by night: and Elohim says, Ask what I give you. ⁶ And Shelomoh says, You worked great mercy to your servant David my father according as he walked at your face in truth and in justness and in straightness of heart with you: and you guarded this great mercy for him in that you gave him a son to settle on his throne as this day: ⁷ and now, O Yah Veh my Elohim, you have your servant reign in the stead of David my father: and I am a little lad: I know not to go out or come in: ⁸ and your servant is midst your people whom you chose - a great people that can neither be numbered nor scribed for abundance: ⁹ give your servant a hearing heart to judge your people - to discern between good and evil: for who is able to judge this - your grievous people?

⁹ And so be it, they pass over, and Eli Yah says to Eli Shua, Ask what I work for you ere I am taken from you. And Eli Shua says, I beseech you, that a twofold mouth of your spirit be on me.

³⁰ and his ration is a continual ration given him by the sovereign - the day by day word, all the days of his life.

²² Thus Yah Ash the sovereign remembers not the mercy Yah Yada his father worked to him; but slaughters his son. And as he dies, he says, Yah Veh sees and requires. ²³
ARAM ASCENDS AGAINST YAH HUDAH AND YERU SHALEM
And so be it, at the revolution of the year, the valiant of Aram ascend against him: and they come to Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem and ruin all the governors of the people from among the people; and send all their spoil to the sovereign of Dammeseq. ²⁴ For the valiant of Aram come with little men; and Yah Veh gives a mighty great valiant into their hand, because they forsook Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers: thus they work judgments against Yah Ash.

¹⁵ And now neither may Yechizqi Yah deceive you, nor goad you thus, nor yet trust him: for no elohah of any goyim or sovereigndom is able to rescue his people from my hand and from the hand of my fathers: neither your Elohim rescues you from my hand. ¹⁶ And his servants still word against Yah Veh Elohim and against his servant Yechizqi Yah: ¹⁷ and he inscribes scrolls to reproach Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El to say against him, saying, As the elohim of the goyim of other lands have not rescued their people from my hand, thus Elohim of Yechizqi Yah rescues not his people from my hand.

²⁵ and they captured cut off cities and a fat soil and possessed houses full of all goods, wells hewed, vineyards and oliveyards and food trees in abundance: so they ate and satisfied and fattened and pleased themselves in your great goodness: ²⁶ and they were rebellious and rebelled against you and cast your torah behind their backs and slaughtered your prophets who witnessed against them to turn them to you: and they worked great scornings:

⁷ By probing, find you Elohah? - find the conclusion of Shadday? ⁸ As high as the heavens; what do you? Deeper than sheol; what know you? ⁹ The measure thereof is longer than the earth and broader than the sea.

⁷ And yet, I beseech, ask the animals to teach you; and the flyers of the air to tell you;

⁷ Word you wickedness for El? - word deceitfully for him? ⁸ - lift his face? - contend for El? ⁹ Is it good that he probe you? As one mocks a man, mock you him?

⁵ Face me and astonish and set your hand on your mouth.

¹² nor go back from the misvah of his lips: I treasure the sayings of his mouth more than my statutes.

⁸ he tribulates the waters in his thick clouds and the cloud splits not under them;

¹⁷ I broke the molars of the wicked and cast the prey from his teeth.

²⁴ If I set gold my hope or said to the ore, My confidence! ²⁵ if I cheer because my valuables are great and because my hand found much; ²⁶ if I see the light when it halals or the moon walking in esteem; ²⁷ and my heart covertly duped or my mouth kiss my hand; ²⁸ this also is a judicial perversity: for I denied El above.

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

⁴ Where were you when I founded the earth? Tell, if you know discernment, ⁵ who set the measurements, if you know? Who stretched the line thereon? ⁶ Whereon are the foundations sunk? Who poured the corner stone ⁷ when the morning stars shouted together and all the sons of Elohim shouted? ⁸ Who hedged in the sea with doors when it gushed? When it issued from the womb? ⁹ When I set the cloud for a robe and dripping darkness for a swathe; ¹⁰ and broke it up for my statute and set bars and doors; ¹¹ and said, Come to here, but add not: And set there the pomp of your waves? ¹² Misvahed you the morning since your days? And had the dawn to know his place? ¹³ And took hold of the wings of the earth to shake the wicked therefrom? ¹⁴ It turns as a seal of clay; and they set themselves as a robe; ¹⁵ and their light is withheld from the wicked and the lofted arm broken. ¹⁶ Enter you the fountains of the sea? Walk you probing the abyss? ¹⁷ Expose you the portals of death? See you the portals of the shadow of death? ¹⁸ Discern you the broadness of the earth? Tell, if you know it all. ¹⁹ Where is this, the way that light tabernacles? And darkness, where is its place? ²⁰ - to take it to the border - to discern the paths to the house? ²¹ Know you, because you were then birthed? - or that the number of your days greaten? ²² Enter you into the treasures of the snow? See you the treasures of the hail ²³ that I spare against the time of tribulation? - against the day of battle and war? ²⁴ Where is this - where light is allotted? - which scatters the easterly on the earth? ²⁵ Who divided a channel for the overflowing of waters? - a way for the lightning of voices? ²⁶ - to rain on the earth, where no man is? - on the wilderness, wherein no humanity is? ²⁷ - to satisfy the devastation and ruin? - to cause the source of the sprout to sprout? ²⁸ Has the rain a father? Who births the drops of dew? ²⁹ From whose belly comes ice? Who births the hoarfrost of the heavens? ³⁰ The waters are hid as a stone and the face of the abyss is captured. ³¹ Bind you the bonds of Kimah? Loose you the cords of Kesil? ³² Bring you forth the constellations in their time? - lead Ash with his sons? ³³ Know you the statutes of the heavens? Set you the dominion in the earth? ³⁴ - lift your voice to the thick clouds so that abundance of waters cover you? ³⁵ - send lightnings to go to you, and say, Here we are? ³⁶ Who put wisdom in the reins? Who gives discernment to the observant? ³⁷ Who scribes the vapours in wisdom? Who causes the bottles of the heavens to lie down ³⁸ when the dust firms to mire and the clods adhere? ³⁹ - hunts the prey for the roaring lion? - fills the life of the whelps ⁴⁰ when they prostrate in their habitations, and settle in the sukkoth/brush arbor to lurk? ⁴¹ Who prepares the hunt for the raven - when his children cry to El? - when they stray without food?

²⁷ Comes the eagle at your mouth and makes her nest on high?

⁴ Behold, I am abased; What respond I to you? I set my hand to my mouth.

³ Who is he who conceals counsel without knowledge? so I tell, and I discern not - too marvellous for me, and I know not.

³ Who is he who conceals counsel without knowledge? so I tell, and I discern not - too marvellous for me, and I know not. ⁴ Hear, I beseech you, and I word; I ask you; you have me know. ⁵ I hear you by the hearing of the ear; and now my eye sees you: ⁶ so I spurn and sigh in dust and ashes.

⁷ I scribe the statute! Yah Veh says to me, You are my Son/Ben ^{\super *}; this day I birthed you. ^{*Ben; cp 2:12}

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

⁷ Rise, O Yah Veh! Save me, O my Elohim! For you have smitten all my enemies on the cheek bone; you broke the teeth of the wicked.

⁸ he settles in the lurks of the courts; he slaughters the innocent in the coverts; he hides his eyes from the unfortunate: ⁹ he lurks in the coverts as a lion in his sukkoth/brush arbor; he lurks to catch the humble; he catches the humble drawing him into his net.

⁵ For the devastation of the humble, for the shrieking of the needy, I now rise, says Yah Veh; I set him in safety from him who puffs at him. ⁶ The sayings of Yah Veh are pure sayings; as silver refined in a furnace of earth - refined sevenfold.

⁴ Have all doing mischief not known? - who eat my people as they eat bread - who call not on Yah Veh.

³⁰ El, his way is integrious; the saying of Yah Veh is refined: he is a buckler to all who seek refuge in him.

⁸ the precepts of Yah Veh are straight, cheering the heart; the misvah of Yah Veh is pure, enlightening the eyes;

² you give him the desire of his heart and withhold not the yearning of his lips. Selah.

²⁷ All the finalities of the world remember and turn to Yah Veh; and all the families of the goyim prostrate at your face.

² for he founded it on the seas and established it on the rivers.

⁴ This one I ask of Yah Veh - I seek after: to settle in the house of Yah Veh all the days of my life; to see the pleasantness of Yah Veh and to search in his manse.

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

¹⁰ For he sees wise men die; the fool and the stupid destruct together and leave their valuables to others.

² launder me aboundingly from my perversity and purify me from my sin:

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

² The tongue fabricates calamities - as a sharpened razor, working deceitfully.

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

⁶ O Elohim, break their teeth in their mouth; pull out the grinder teeth of the whelps, O Yah Veh;

⁹ Surely sons of humanity are vanity and sons of men a lie; they ascend in the balance - altogether vain. ¹⁰ Neither confide in oppression nor rob in vain; if your valuables flourish, set not your heart.

¹⁸ You ascended the heights; you captured the captives; you took gifts for humanity; yes, the revolters also, that Yah Elohim may tabernacle.

²² I am stupid and know not - as an animal in front of you.

¹¹ For Yah Veh Elohim is a sun and shield; Yah Veh grants charism and honor; he withholds no good from them who walk integriously.

² I say of Yah Veh, My refuge and my stronghold; my Elohim; in him I confide:

⁶ Neither the stupid man knows; nor the fool discerns this:

⁵ whoever covertly tongue-lashes his friend, I exterminate: a lofty eye and an enlarged heart, I am not able.

² who covers himself with light as a cloth; who spreads the heavens as a curtain; ³ who fells the beams of his upper room in the waters; who sets thick clouds his chariot; who walks on the wings of the wind; ⁴ who works his angels spirits - his ministers a flaming fire ^{\super *}; ⁵ who founded the establishments of the earth that they not totter eternally and eternally. ^{*see Hebrews 1:7-14 6} You covered the abyss as a robe; the waters stand above the mountains; ⁷ from your rebuke they flee; from the voice of your thunder they hasten away: ⁸ they ascend by the mountains; they descend by the valleys to the place you founded for them. ⁹ You set a border that they neither pass over nor turn again to cover the earth: ¹⁰ - who sends the springs into the wadies passing among the mountains: ¹¹ they moisten every live being of the field; the wild runners break their thirst: ¹² by them the flyers of the heavens tabernacle, who give voice between the branches: ¹³ he moistens the mountains from his upper room; the earth satiates with the fruit of your works ¹⁴ so that the grass sprouts for the animals and herbs for the service of humanity; to bring forth bread from the earth: ¹⁵ and wine to cheer the heart of man and ointment to shine his face and bread to support the heart of man. ¹⁶ The trees of Yah Veh satiate - the cedars of Lebanon he planted ¹⁷ - where the birds nest: as for the stork, the firs are her house; ¹⁸ the high mountains, a refuge for the wild goats and the rocks for the conies.

¹⁸ the high mountains, a refuge for the wild goats and the rocks for the conies. ¹⁹ He worked the moon for seasons; the sun knows his entry. ²⁰ You set darkness and it is night; wherein all the live beings of the forest creep: ²¹ the whelps roar after their prey and seek their food from El: ²² the sun rises; they gather themselves; they crouch in their habitations: ²³ humanity goes on to his deeds and to his service until the evening. ²⁴ O Yah Veh, how your works abound by the myriads! In wisdom you worked them all; the earth is full of your chattel: ²⁵ thus this great and wide hand of the sea wherein are creepers innumerable - both small and great live beings: ²⁶ there go the ships; leviathan, whom you have formed to laugh. ²⁷ These all expect you to give them their food on time: ²⁸ You give them, they gleen: you open your hand, they satiate with good: ²⁹ you hide your face, they terrify: you gather their spirit, they expire - return to their dust: ³⁰ you send your spirit, they are created: and you renew the face of the soil. ³¹ The honor of Yah Veh is eternal. Yah Veh cheers in his works. ³² He looks on the earth and it trembles; he touches the mountains and they smoke. ³³ I sing to Yah Veh during my life; I psalm to my Elohim while I still am: ³⁴ pleasing is my meditation of him; I cheer in Yah Veh. ³⁵ The sinners are consumed from the earth and the wicked are no more. Bless you Yah Veh, O my soul. Halalu Yah.

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

⁹ O Yisra El, confide in Yah Veh; he is their help and their buckler: ¹⁰ O house of Aharon, confide in Yah Veh; he is their help and their buckler: ¹¹ you who awe Yah Veh, confide in Yah Veh; he is their help and their buckler.

²⁹ turn aside the way of falsehoods from me; and with your torah grant me charism:

³⁷ pass my eyes from seeing vanity; and enliven me in your way:

¹⁴⁰ your saying is mighty refined; your servant loves it.

³ For the scion of wickedness rests not on the pebble of the just; lest the just spread their hands to wickedness.

¹ A Song of Degrees: By David. O Yah Veh, neither my heart lifts, nor my eyes loft; nor walk I in greatness or in marvels:

⁶ Such knowledge is too marvellous for me; too lofty; I am not able for it.

² my mercy and my stronghold; my secure loft, who slips me away; my buckler, in whom I seek refuge; who subdues my people under me.

⁶ lest you weigh the path of life her routes drift so that you know them not.

¹² and say, How I hated discipline and my heart scorned reproof:

⁶ Go to the ant, you sloth; see her ways and enwisen: ⁷ who, having no commander, officer, or sovereign, ⁸ prepares her bread in the summer and harvests her food in the harvest.

¹⁶ These six Yah Veh hates; yes, seven are an abhorrence to his soul; ¹⁷ a lofty eye; a false tongue; and hands pouring innocent blood;

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

¹³ She holds him and kisses him and with strengthened face says to him, ¹⁴ I have shelamim with me; this day I shalamed my vows: ¹⁵ so I come to meet you early seeking your face, and I find you: ¹⁶ I spread my bedstead with spreads, with carvings, with tapestry of Misrayim: ¹⁷ I rubbed my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon: ¹⁸ come, we satiate with loves until the morning - leap for joy with loves: ¹⁹ for the man is not in his house; - gone on a far journey: ²⁰ he took a bundle of silver in his hand; and comes home at the day of the full moon. ²¹ With her abundant doctrine, she spreads him out; with the smoothing over of her lips she drives him: ²² suddenly he goes after her - as an ox going to the slaughter - as a fool to the discipline of tinklers: ²³ until an arrow strikes through his liver; as a bird hastens to the snare and knows not it is for his soul.

¹⁰ To awe Yah Veh is the beginning of wisdom; and the knowledge of the holy is discernment:

²⁶ He who withholds grain, the nations pierce; and blessing is on the head of him who markets kernels.

¹⁸ The babbler is like the stabs of a sword; and the tongue of the wise is healing.

¹⁸ A man of fury throttles strife; and he who is slow to wrath rests strife.

² All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes; and Yah Veh gauges the spirits.

¹⁴ The fury of a sovereign is as angels of death; and a wise man kapars/atones.

²⁸ a man of perversions sends strife; and a whisperer separates chiliarchs:

¹⁴ The beginning of strife is as a bursting of water leave off contention ere it faces a quarrel.

²⁸ Even a fool, when he hushes, is fabricated wise; he who shuts his lips is a discerner.

¹⁰ Delight befits not a fool; much less a servant to reign over governors.

¹³ A foolish son is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a woman are a continual dripping.

² The terror of a sovereign is as a growling whelp; whoever enrages him sins against his own soul.

²⁰ Whoever abases his father or his mother, extinguishes his lamp in mid darkness.

² Every way of a man is straight in his own eyes; and Yah Veh gauges the heart.

⁴ A high look and a broad heart and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

⁶ The deeds of treasures by a false tongue is a vanity dispersed by them who seek death.

⁹ Better, to settle in a corner of the roof, than with a contentious woman in a community house.

¹⁹ Better, to settle in the land of the wilderness, than with a woman of contentions and vexations.

⁸ Whoever seeds wickedness, harvests mischief; and the scion of his fury is finished off.

¹⁶ He oppresses the poor to abound and he gives to the rich only to lack.

⁵ Flit your eyes thereon; and it is not: for in working, they work wings; they fly away as an eagle toward the heavens.

²² Hearken to your father who birthed you and disrespect not your mother when she ages.

²³ These also to the wise: It is not good to recognize faces in judgment. ²⁴ He who says to the wicked, You are just - the people pierce, nations enrage at him;

¹² See a man wise in his own eyes? More hope of a fool than of him.

²¹ As coals to coals, and timber to fire; thus a contentious man to scorch strife.

¹⁵ A continual dripping in a torrential day and a contentious woman are alike.

²⁰ As sheol and abaddon are never satisfied; thus the eyes of humanity are never satisfied.

³ An impoverished mighty who oppress the poor is a sweeping rain which leaves no bread.

²⁵ He of an enlarged heart, throttles strife; and he who confides in Yah Veh, fattens.

²⁷ Whoever gives to the impoverished, lacks not; and he who conceals his eye has many a curse.

²¹ Whoever pampers his servant since ladhood has him become successor at the finality. ²² A man of wrath throttles strife and a master of fury abounds in rebellion.

²⁴ Whoever allots with a thief, hates his own soul; he hears oaths and tells it not.

¹¹ There is a generation who abases their father and blesses not their mother: ¹² there is a generation - pure in their own eyes but not washed from their own dung: ¹³ there is a generation - how lofty their eyes! and their eyelids lifted: 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.

¹⁷ The eye that derides father and disrespects to obey mother; the ravens of the wadi bore through and the sons of eagles eat.

²¹ These three quake the earth; and for four it cannot bear:

²⁴ These four are little on the earth; and in enwisening, they enwisen:

²⁹ These three pace good; yes, four well-please in going:

¹
THE WORDS OF SOVEREIGN LEMU EL
The words of sovereign Lemu El; the burden his mother disciplined him:

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

¹ And I return and see all the oppressions worked under the sun; and behold, the tears of the oppressed who have no one to sigh; and the force of the hand of their oppressors who have no one to sigh.

²¹ Also, give not your heart to all words that are worded; lest you hear your servant abase you;

³ Neither hasten to go from his face; nor stand in an evil word: for he works whatever he desires. ⁴ Where the word of a sovereign is, there is dominion. Who says to him, What work you?

⁷ I saw servants on horses and governors walking as servants on the earth.

¹⁶ Baptize yourself; purify yourself; turn aside the evil of your exploitations from in front of my eyes: cease to vilify;

¹¹ The lofty eyes of humanity abase, and the haughtiness of men prostrates, and Yah Veh alone is exalted in that day.

⁴ and I give lads for governors and freaks reign over them. ⁵ And the people exact, man upon man; even man upon his friend: the lads abuse against the aged and the base against the honorable.

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:

¹⁸ Ho to them who draw perversity with cords of vanity, and sin as a wagon rope:

³ And one calls to another, and says, Holy, holy, holy, Yah Veh Sabaoth: the fulness of the whole earth is his glory.

⁵ Then I say, Woe is me! for I am mute; because I am a man of foul lips and I settle midst a people of fouled lips: for my eyes see the Sovereign, Yah Veh Sabaoth.

¹⁰ Fatten the heart of this people and burden their ears and stroke their eyes; lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and discern with their heart - and convert and heal.

¹⁴ So Adonay himself gives you a sign: Behold, a virgin conceives and births a son and calls his name Immanu El:

⁶
A CHILD IS BORN, A SON IS GIVEN
For a child is birthed to us; a son is given to us - and the dominion is on his shoulder: and he calls his name ^{\super *} Marvelous, Counsellor, Mighty El, Eternal Father, Governor of Shalom. ^*singular

¹¹ you, turn aside from the way; pervert from the path; shabbathize the Holy One of Yisra El from our face.

⁷ and the instruments of the crafty are evil: he counsels intrigue to despoil the humble with false sayings - even when the needy word judgment.

¹² Who measures the waters in his palm? And gauges the heavens with the span? And contains the dust of the earth in a tierce? And weighs the mountains in weights and the hills in a balance? ¹³ Who gauges the Spirit of Yah Veh? Or as his councilman makes known to him? ¹⁴ With whom counsels he and discerns him? And teaches him in the path of judgment? And teaches him knowledge? And makes known to him the way of discernment? ¹⁵ Behold, the goyim - as a drop of a pail; fabricated as the powder of the balance: behold, he lifts the islands as pulverized. ¹⁶ And neither is Lebanon sufficient to burn, nor the live beings sufficient for a holocaust. ¹⁷ All goyim are as naught in front of him; - fabricated to him as deceased and waste. ¹⁸ To whom then liken you El? Or what likeness line you up to him? ¹⁹ The engraver pours a sculptile; and the refiner overlays with gold and refines silver chains. ²⁰ He who is so cut off that he has no exaltment chooses a tree that rots not; he seeks a wise engraver to prepare a sculptile that topples not. ²¹ Know you not? Hear you not? Were you not told from the beginning? Discerned you not from the foundations of the earth? ²² It is he who settles on the circle of the earth, and the settlers are as locusts who spread the heavens as a veil, - spreads them as a tent to settle in: ²³ who gives the potentates to naught; who works the judges of the earth as waste. ²⁴ Yes, they are not planted; yes, they are not seeded: yes, their stump roots not in the earth: and he also puffs on them, and they wither, and the storm bears them away as stubble. ²⁵ To whom then liken you me, or equate? says the Holy One. ²⁶ Lift your eyes on high, and see who created these; who brings out their host by number: - calls them all by names by the greatness of his strength - for he is strong in force; no man lacks. ²⁷ Why, O Yaaqov, say you, and, O Yisra El, word you, My way is hid from Yah Veh; and from my Elohim my judgment passes over? ²⁸ Know you not? Hear you not? that the eternal Elohim, Yah Veh, the Creator of the ends of the earth neither wearies nor belabors? There is no probing of his discernment. ²⁹ He gives strength to the weary; and to them of no strength, he abounds might. ³⁰ Even the lads weary and belabor, and in faltering, the youths falter: ³¹ but they who await Yah Veh, change their force; they ascend with pinions as eagles; they run, and belabor not; and they walk, and weary not.

³¹ but they who await Yah Veh, change their force; they ascend with pinions as eagles; they run, and belabor not; and they walk, and weary not.

⁸ taken by restraint and by judgment: and who meditates his generation? For he is cut off from the land of the living: - plagued for the rebellion of my people.

¹¹ Yes, they are dogs, strong of soul, who know not satisfaction; and they are tenders who know not to discern: they all face their own way, every man for his gain, from his end. ¹² You, come; I take wine, and we carouse with intoxicants; and tomorrow is as this day - a mighty great remainder.

³ And approach here, you sons of the cloudgazer - the seed of the adulterer and the whore.

¹⁵ For thus says the high and lifted One who tabernacles eternally - whose name is Holy; I tabernacle in the high and holy and with the crushed and lowly spirit - to enliven the spirit of the lowly, and to enliven the heart of the crushed.

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

⁵ who say, Approach! - but come not near me; lest I hallow you. These are a smoke in my nostrils, a fire that burns all the day.

²² But though you launder yourself with nitre, and abound with soap, yet your perversity is inscribed at my face - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. ²³ How say you, I am not fouled: I go not after Baalim? See your way in the valley; know what you worked - a swift dromedary entangling her ways; ²⁴ a wild runner discipled to the wilderness who gulps the wind at the yearning of her soul; who, in her occasion, turns her back? No one seeking her wearies themselves; in her month they find her.

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

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

¹⁴ O Yeru Shalem, launder your heart from evil, to be saved. Until when stay your fabrications of mischief overnight within you?

¹⁴ All humanity is brutish in knowledge: every refiner is shamed by the sculptile: for his libation is falsehood and there is no spirit in them:

⁶ In his days Yah Hudah is saved, and Yisra El dwells confidently: and this is his name whereby he is called, Yah Veh Sidqenuw.

²¹ And Sidqi Yah the sovereign misvahs them to muster Yirme Yah into the court of the target area, and that they give him daily a round of bread from the outway of the bakers, until all the bread in the city is consumed. Thus Yirme Yah settles in the court of the target area.

³⁴ And for his ration, he is a given continual ration of the sovereign of Babel - a word day by day until the day of his death all the days of his life.

¹⁴ and because of your beauty your name goes forth among the goyim: for it is perfect through my majesty which I set on you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. ¹⁵ And you confide in your own beauty and whore because of your name; and pour your whoredoms on every one who passes by - to him.

⁴⁴ Behold, every one who proverbializes proverbs proverbializes this proverb against you, saying, As the mother, thus her daughter. ⁴⁵ You are the daughter of your mother who loathes her man and her sons; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathe their men and their sons: your mother is a Hethiy and your father an Emoriy: ⁴⁶ and your great sister is Shomeron - she and her daughters who settle at your left: and your younger sister who settles at your right is Sedom and her daughters.

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.

² Son of humanity, say to the eminent of Sor, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because your heart is haughty, and you say, I - El; I sit in the seat of Elohim, in the heart of the seas. - yet you are human, and not El, though you give your heart as the heart of Elohim: ³ behold, you are wiser than Dani El; naught shut up is shaded from you: ⁴ with your wisdom and with your discernment you work valuables for yourself; and work gold and silver into your treasures: ⁵ by your great wisdom and by your merchandise you abound your valuables; and you lift your heart because of your valuables.

⁹ In saying, say you, I am Elohim! - at the face of him who slays you? you are but human, and not El in the hand of him who slaughters you:

²⁵ and I sprinkle pure water on you and purify you: from all your foulness and from all your idols I purify you:

⁸ Therefore at that appointment mighty Kesediym approach and chew out the Yah Hudiym; ⁹ they answer, yes, they say to sovereign Nebukadnets Tsar, O sovereign, live eternally: ¹⁰ You, O sovereign, set a decree, that every man who hears the voice of the horn, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and symphonia, and all species of psalming, falls down and prostrates to the golden image: ¹¹ and whoever falls not down and prostrates is hurled midst a burning fiery furnace: ¹² there are mighty Yah Hudiym whom you numbered over the service of the jurisdiction of Babel - Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed Nego: these mighty, O sovereign, set not their taste to you: they neither serve your elahim nor prostrate to the golden image you raised. ¹³ Then Nebukadnets Tsar, in quiver and fury, says to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed Nego. - then they bring these mighty in front of the sovereign. ¹⁴ Nebukadnets Tsar answers and says to them, Is it your intent, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed Nego, to neither serve my elahim nor prostrate to the golden image I raised? ¹⁵ Now behold, if you are prepared, at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery and symphonia and all species of psalming, you fall down and prostrate to the image I made - and behold, if you prostrate not, at that same blink you are hurled midst a burning fiery furnace! Who is that Elah who liberates you from my hands? ¹⁶ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed Nego answer and say to the sovereign, O Nebukadnets Tsar, we need not respond to you in this decision: ¹⁷ and so be it, our Elah whom we serve is able to liberate us from the burning fiery furnace, and liberate us from your hand, O sovereign. ¹⁸ And behold, if not, know this, O sovereign, that we neither serve your elahim nor prostrate to the golden image you raised.

¹⁷ This decision is by the decree of the wakers; and the mandate by the edict of the holy ones: to the word so that the living know Elyon is dominator in the sovereigndom of men, and gives it to whomever he wills; and raises the lowliest of men over it.

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

¹³ Then they answer and say in front of the sovereign, That Dani El of the sons of the exile of Yah Hudah neither regards this taste to you, O sovereign, nor the decree you signed; but requests his request three appointments a day.

²⁴ And the sovereign says to bring those mighty who chewed out Dani El; and they hurl them into the dugout of lions - them, their sons and their women; and the lions dominate them and pulverize their bones ere they happen at the bottom of the dugout

⁵ And behold, another live being, a second, like a bear: and it raises itself on its side; with three ribs in its mouth between its teeth: and they say thus to it, Rise, devour much flesh. ⁶ After this I see, and behold, another like a leopard: and on its back, four wings of a flyer; the live being also having four heads; and it is given dominion. ⁷ After this I see in the night visions, and behold, a fourth live being, terrifying and burly, and exceedingly mighty, with great iron teeth: it devours and pulverizes and tramples the survivors with its feet: and it is changed from all the live beings in front of it - with ten horns.

³⁶ And the sovereign works according to his pleasure; and exalts himself and greatens himself above every el and words marvels against the El of elohim, and prospers until the rage concludes: until that appointed is worked. ³⁷ He neither discerns the Elohim of his fathers nor the desire of women; nor discerns any elohah: for he greatens himself above all.

¹⁸ their potion turns; they whore continually: her bucklers love abasement:

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

⁴ What the palmerworm leaves, the locust eats; and what the locust leaves, the cankerworm eats; and what the cankerworm leaves, the caterpiller eats.

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.

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?

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.

³ Thus says Yah Veh: For three rebellions of Dammeseq, and for four, I restore them not; because of threshing Gilad with sickles of iron:

⁶ Thus says Yah Veh: For three rebellions of Azzah, and for four, I restore them not; because of exiling the complete exiles to shut them up to Edom:

⁹ Thus says Yah Veh: For three rebellions of Sor, and for four, I restore not; because of delivering the complete exiles to Edom and remember not the covenant of brothers:

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:

¹³ Thus says Yah Veh: For three rebellions of the sons of Ammon, and for four, I restore them not; because of splitting the women with child of Gilad, to enlarge their border:

¹
JUDGMENT ON YAH HUDAH AND YISRA EL
Thus says Yah Veh: For three rebellions of Moab, and for four, I restore them not; because of burning the bones of the sovereign of Edom into lime:

⁴ Thus says Yah Veh; For three rebellions of Yah Hudah, and for four, I restore them not; because of spurning the torah of Yah Veh, and not guarding his statutes; and their lies stray them - after the which their fathers walked:

⁷ who gulp after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and pervert the way of the humble: and a man and his father going in to the lass to profane my holy name:

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.

¹⁴ Then Amos answers and says to Amas Yah, I am neither a prophet nor a son of a prophet; but I am a herdman and a pincher of sycomores: ¹⁵ and as I follow the flock, Yah Veh takes me and Yah Veh says to me, Go, prophesy to my people Yisra El.

⁴ Hear this, O you who gulp the needy, who shabbathize the humble of the land,

¹ Ho to them who fabricate mischief - who work evil on their beds! In the light of the morning, they work because it is in the el of their hand: ² and they desire fields and strip them; and houses, and bear them away: and oppress a mighty and his house - even a man and his inheritance.

¹
THE WORD OF YAH VEH TO YAAQOV AND YISRA EL
And I say, Hear, I beseech you, O heads of Yaaqov and you commanders of the house of Yisra El; Is it not for you to know judgment? ² - Who hate the good and love the evil? Who strip their skin from off them and their flesh from off their bones? ³ Who eat the flesh of my people? They strip their skin and they break their bones; and spread them as for the caldron and as flesh within the caldron. ⁴ Then they cry to Yah Veh, and he answers them not: he even hides his face from them at that time, as they vilify in their exploits. ⁵ Thus says Yah Veh concerning the prophets who stray my people - who bite with their teeth and call out, Shalom; who give not into their mouths, and hallow war against him.

³ to do evil with both palms well-pleasingly, the governor and the judge ask for satisfaction; and the great words of the mischief of his soul: thus they pervert.

¹⁶ The goyim see and shame at all their might: they set their hand on their mouth; - deafen their ears: ¹⁷ they lick the dust as a serpent; they quiver from their strongholds as creepers of the earth: they fear Yah Veh our Elohim and awe because of you.

⁴ Behold, one swells up! his soul within is not straight: and the just lives by his trustworthiness. ⁵ Yes also, because he deals covertly by wine; arrogant is the mighty - who rests not in his habitation - who enlarges his soul as sheol; and as death, is never satisfied: and gathers all goyim to himself, and gathers all people to himself.

¹⁴ With his own rods you pierce through the head of his suburbs: they storm to scatter me: they jump for joy to consume the humble covertly.

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

¹
THE FOUNTAIN FOR SIN AND FOR EXCLUSION And so be it, in that day, a fountain opens to the house of David and to the settlers of Yeru Shalem for sin and for exclusion.

²¹ And she is to birth a son; and you, call his name Yah Shua: for he saves his people from their sins. ²²
YAH SHUA MESSIAH VIRGIN BIRTHED
Now all this became, to fulfill/shalam that rhetorized by Yah Veh through the prophet, wording, ²³ Behold, a virgin has in womb and births a son; and they call his name Immanu El, which translates, Elohim with us. ^{Isaiah 7:14}

⁷
YAHN THE BAPTIZER DERIDES THE PHARISEES AND SADOQIYM
But he sees many of the Pharisees and Sadoqiym come to his baptism: and he says to them, O progeny of vipers, who exemplifies you to flee from the wrath about to be?

¹¹ give us this day our bread of subsistance:

³³
THE PROVISION OF YAH SHUA
But first seek the sovereigndom of Elohim and his justness; and all these add to you.

²⁷ All are delivered to me by my Father: and neither knows anyone the Son, except the Father; nor knows anyone the Father, except the Son - and he to whomever the Son wills to unveil him.

⁴ For Elohim misvahed, wording, Honor your father and mother: and, Whoever vilifies father or mother, deathify him to death. ⁵ But you word, Whoever says to his father or his mother, An oblation - by whatever you benefit by me; ⁶ and in no way honors his father or his mother. - thus you invalidate the misvah of Elohim for your tradition. ^{Exodus 20:12, 21:17}

¹⁷ And Yah Shua answers him, saying, Blessed - you, Shimon Bar Yonah: for flesh and blood unveiled not to you but my Father in the heavens.

¹³
YAH SHUA DENOUNCES THE PHARISEES
But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees! Hypocrites! For you shut the sovereigndom of the heavens in front of humanity: for neither you enter nor allow those entering to enter.

³² and you - you fulfill/shalam the measure of your fathers.

⁷² And again he denies with an oath, I know not the human.

⁷⁴ Then he begins to curse and to anathematize, I know not the human. - and straightway the rooster voices.

¹⁰ for Mosheh said, Honor your father and your mother; and, Whoever vilifies father or mother, dies the death. ^{Exodus 20:12, 21:17, Leviticus 20:9 11} But you word, Whenever a human says to his father or mother, Qurban! which is, Oblation, by whatever you benefit; ¹² and you allow him no more to do aught for his father or his mother; ¹³ invalidating the word of Elohim through your tradition - which you betray: and you do many like such.

²² All are delivered to me by my Father: and no one knows who the Son is, except the Father; and who the Father is, except the Son; and to whomever the Son wills to unveil him.

⁴² but one is needful: and Miryam selects that good part, not to be removed from her.

³ Give us daily our subsistence bread:

³⁹ And Adonay says to him, Now you Pharisees purify the cup and the platter outward; but your inward is full of plunder and wickedness. ⁴⁰ Thoughtless! He who made the outward made he not also the inward?

¹⁵ And he says to them, You justify yourselves in the sight of humanity; but Elohim knows your hearts: for what is high among humanity is abomination in the sight of Elohim.

¹¹ The Pharisee stands and prays these with himself, Elohim, I eucharistize you, that I am not exactly as the rest of humanity - plunderers, unjust, adulterers, or even as this customs agent:

⁸ And he words to them, Bail now, and bear to the arch of entertainment. - and they bear.

¹³ And no one ascends to the heavens, except whoever descends from the heavens - even the Son of humanity who is in the heavens.

³⁹ They answer him, saying, Abraham is our father. Yah Shua words to them, If you were children of Abraham, you had done the works of Abraham:

⁴⁴ You are of your father Diabolos and the pantings of your father you will to do: he is a murderer from the beginning; and stands not in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

³ And this is life eternal: that they know you the only true Elohim, and Yah Shua Messiah whom you apostolized.

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

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

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

¹² So indeed the torah is holy and the misvah holy and just and good.

⁶ And the justness of trust words thus, Say not in your heart, Who ascends to the heavens? - that is, to bring Messiah:

²⁵ For brothers, I will not that you be unknowing of this mystery, lest you think beyond yourselves; that petrifaction by part became Yisra El, until the fulness/shalom of the goyim enter.

³³ O the depth of the riches of both the wisdom and knowledge of Elohim! How unexplorable his judgments and his ways untraceable!

⁴ You - who are you to judge the housekeeper of another? unto his own adoni he stands firm or falls. Yes, he stands: for Elohim is able to stand him.

¹⁸ For they who are such serve not our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah, but their own belly; and through kind words and eulogy seduce the hearts of the simple.

¹⁸ Seduce not yourselves. If anyone among you thinks to be wise in this eon, may he become a fool, that he becomes wise.

¹¹ And some of you were these: but you are bathed but you are hallowed but you are justified in the name of Adonay Yah Shua and in the Spirit of our Elohim.

² And if anyone thinks he knows aught, still he knows naught, exactly as he needs to know.

¹⁵ Yes, and we are found pseudo witnesses of Elohim; because we witnessed that Elohim raised the Messiah: whom he raised not - if indeed the dead rise not.

¹⁸ can comprehend with all the holy the breadth and length and depth and height; ¹⁹ and to know the love of the Messiah, which exceeds knowledge, to fill you full/shalam you to all the fulness/shalom of Elohim.

⁸ So he words, Having ascended on high, he captured the captives and gave gifts to humanity. ^{Psalm 68:18 9} Now that he ascended, what is it except that he also first descended into the substrata parts of the earth? ¹⁰ He who descended is the same who also ascended far above all the heavens to fulfill/shalam all.

³ Be not seduced by anyone in any manner: - because unless ^{*. *this sentence is incomplete in the mss} First comes an apostatizing and the unveiling of the human of sin - the son of destruction ⁴ - the adversary who superciliously exalts himself above all that is worded Elohim, or that is venerated - so that he, as Elohim, sits in the nave of Elohim, shewing himself to be Elohim.

⁴ and if any widow has children or descendants, have them first learn reverence in their own house; and to give recompense to their progenitors: for that is good and acceptable in sight of Elohim.

⁸ And if anyone provides not for his own and specially for those of his own house, he denies the trust and is worse than the trustless.

⁶ but reverence with selfcontentment is mega gain. ⁷ For we brought naught into this cosmos and it is evident we can bring naught forth. ⁸ And having sustenance and covering, be satisfied.

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

¹⁵ Indeed, to the pure, all are pure: and to the defiled and trustless, naught is pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. ¹⁶ They profess to know Elohim; but in works they deny: being abominable and distrusting and disapproved to every good work.

⁵ - not by works in justness which we did - but according to his mercy he saved us through the bathing of regenesis and renewing of the Holy Spirit;

⁵ If any of you lack wisdom, ask of Elohim who gives liberally to all and reproaches not - and he is given.

¹⁷ And indeed, the wisdom from above is first hallowed, then at shalom, gentle, agreeable, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and unhypocritical:

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

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

¹⁹
SCRIPTURE PROPHECY
We also have a steadfast word of prophecy; which you do well to heed, as to a light manifesting in an obscure place, until the day thoroughly dawn and the day phospherescence arise in your hearts: ²⁰ knowing this first, that not any prophecy of the scripture becomes by personal explanation: ²¹ for no prophecy was ever brought by the will of humanity: but holy humans of Elohim spoke - borne by the Holy Spirit.

³ and in avarice they fabricate words and merchandise of you: whose judgment of old idles not and their destruction slumbers not.

¹² And these, as physical irrational live beings, birthed to be captured and corrupted, blaspheme those in which they are unknowing; and corrupt in their own corruption; ¹³ and receive the reward of injustice, as they who deem it pleasure to indulge in the day time; - stains and blemishes, reveling in their own delusions as they revel with you;

¹³ and receive the reward of injustice, as they who deem it pleasure to indulge in the day time; - stains and blemishes, reveling in their own delusions as they revel with you; ¹⁴ eyes full of adultery, and restless from sin; entrapping unstable souls; a heart exercised with avarice; children of curse

¹⁴ eyes full of adultery, and restless from sin; entrapping unstable souls; a heart exercised with avarice; children of curse ¹⁵ who forsake the straight way and wander; following the way of Bilam of Beor who loved the rewards of injustice;

¹⁵ who forsake the straight way and wander; following the way of Bilam of Beor who loved the rewards of injustice; ¹⁶ and was reproofed for his own torah violations: the voiceless burro uttering in a human voice forbad the insanity of the prophet.

⁷ and whenever we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have communion with one another - and the blood of Yah Shua Messiah his Son purifies us from all sin: ⁸ whenever we say we have no sin we seduce ourselves and the truth is not in us: ⁹ whenever we profess our sins, he is trustworthy and just to forgive our sins and to purify us from all injustice: ¹⁰ whenever we say that we have not sinned we make him a liar and his word is not in us. ¹¹ Woe to them! because they go in the way of Qayin and rush for reward after the seduction of Bilam and destruct in the controversy of Korach. ¹² These are reefs in your love as they revel with you, shepherding themselves fearlessly: waterless clouds carried about by winds, autumnal trees, unfruitful, twice dead, uprooted,

⁵ and from Yah Shua Messiah the trustworthy witness and the firstborn from the dead and the arch of the sovereigns of the earth. To him who loved us and bathed us from our sins in his own blood

THE SIXTH SCRIBING
And to the angel of the ecclesia in Philadelphia, scribe: Thus words the holy, the true, who has the key of David: who opens and no one shuts and shuts and no one opens:

⁸ And the four live beings are each surrounded with six wings and full of eyes within: and they have no rest day and night, wording, Holy, holy, holy, Yah Veh El Sabaoth, who was and who is and who is coming. ^{Isaiah 6:3}

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 ⁸ and they have hair as hair of women and their teeth as lions:

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. ¹¹ And they have a sovereign over them, - the angel of the abyss, his name in Hebraic, Abaddon, and in Hellenic has the name, Apollyon.

¹² His eyes are as a flame of fire and on his head are many diadems; and he has a name scribed, that no man knows - except he himself:

THE FINAL WARNING
For I co-witness to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll, Whenever anyone places to these, Elohim places to him the plagues scribed in this scroll: ¹⁹ and whenever anyone removes from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, Elohim removes his part from the scroll of life and from the holy city, and those scribed in this scroll.
