Proverbs 4 Cross References - ECB

¹ Hear, you sons, the discipline of a father; and hearken to know discernment; ² for I give you good doctrine: forsake not my torah. ³ For I was a son of my father - tender; an only at the face of my mother: ⁴ and teaches me and says to me, O that your heart uphold my words; guard my misvoth and live. ⁵ Chattelize wisdom; chattelize discernment: neither forget nor spread from the sayings of my mouth. ⁶ Forsake her not, and she guards you; love her, and she guards you: ⁷ the firstfruits, wisdom; chattelize wisdom: and with all your chattelizing chattelize discernment. ⁸ Exalt her and she exalts you; she honors you when you embrace her: ⁹ she gives your head a wreath of charism; with a crown of beauty she shields you. ¹⁰ Hear, O my son, and take my sayings; and abound the years of your life: ¹¹ I teach you in the way of wisdom; I aim you in routes of straightness: ¹² so that as you walk, your paces constrain not; and as you run, you stumble not. ¹³ Uphold discipline; let not go: guard her; for she is your life: ¹⁴ neither enter the path of the wicked nor blithe in the way of evil. ¹⁵ Avoid, pass not in; deviate therefrom, and pass on: ¹⁶ for they sleep not unless they vilify; and they strip their sleep until they trip some: ¹⁷ for they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. ¹⁸ And the path of the just is as the brilliant light that goes and lights more and more to establish the day. ¹⁹ The way of the wicked is as darkness; they know not at what they stumble. ²⁰ My son, hearken to my words; spread your ear to my sayings: ²¹ pervert them not from your eyes; guard them midst your heart: ²² for they are life to them who find them and healing to all their flesh: ²³ guard your heart under guard; for from it are the issues of life: ²⁴ turn aside from a perverted mouth and perverse lips remove far from you ²⁵ - your eyes looking straightforward and straightening your eyelids in front of you: ²⁶ weigh the route of your feet and establish all your ways: ²⁷ spread neither to the right nor to the left; turn aside your foot from evil.

¹¹ Come, you sons, hearken to me; I teach you the awe of Yah Veh.

⁸ My son, hear the discipline of your father and abandon not the torah of your mother:

¹ My son, if you take my sayings and hide my misvoth with you ² - to hearken your ear to wisdom and spread your heart to discernment; ³ yes, if you call after discernment and give your voice for discerning; ⁴ if you seek her as silver and search for her as hid treasures ⁵ - then you discern the awe of Yah Veh and find the knowledge of Elohim.

¹ My son, hearken to my wisdom; spread your ear to my discernment:

²⁰ My son, guard the misvah of your father and abandon not the torah of your mother: ²¹ bind them continually on your heart and fasten them about your throat. ²² in going, it leads you; in lying down, it guards you; and in wakening, it meditates with you. ²³ For the misvah is a lamp; and the torah a light; and reproofs of discipline, the way of life

⁴ say to wisdom, You are my sister; and call discernment your kin

³² Now, O sons, hearken to me, for blithe - they who guard my ways; ³³ hear discipline and enwisen and refuse it not: ³⁴ Blithe - the human who hears me; guarding day by day at my gates; waiting at the posts of my portals. ³⁵ For whoever finds me finds life and promotes the pleasure of Yah Veh: ³⁶ and whoever sins against me violates his own soul; all who hate me love death.

²⁰ Hear counsel and take discipline, that you finally enwisen.

¹⁷ Spread your ear and hear the words of the wise and set your heart to my knowledge:

¹¹ exactly as you know how we besought and consoled and witnessed each one of you as a father his children; ¹² that you witness to walk worthy of Elohim who calls you to his sovereigndom and glory.

¹ So we must more superabundantly heed what we heard - lest ever we float away.

² My doctrine drips as the rain; my sayings flow as the dew - as the shower on the tender sprout and as the showers on the herbage:

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

¹⁹ And if you turn away and forsake my statutes and my misvoth which I give at your face and go and serve other elohim and worship them;

⁴ And you say, My doctrine is pure! and, I am pure in your eyes!

³ my sayings are of the straightness of my heart; and my lips utter knowledge purely.

¹ To His Eminence; A Psalm for the sons of Qorach. Hear this, all you people! Hearken, all you transcients settled in the world! ² Both sons of humanity and sons of man! Rich and needy, together! ³ My mouth words of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart of discernment:

³⁰ If his sons forsake my torah and walk not in my judgments; ³¹ if they profane my statutes and guard not my misvoth; ³² then I visit their rebellion with the scion and their perversity with plagues:

⁶ hear; for I speak of eminence; and the opening of my lips of straightnesses: ⁷ for my palate meditates truth; and wickedness is an abhorrence to my lips: ⁸ all the sayings of my mouth are in justness; naught of them is twisted or perverted: ⁹ they are all straightforward to him who discerns and straight to them who find knowledge.

²⁰ Scribed I not thrice to you in counsels and knowledge, ²¹ so that you know the truth of the sayings of truth - to respond to the sayings of truth to them who send to you?

¹⁶ Yah Shua answers them, saying, My doctrine is not mine; but his who sent me: ¹⁷ whenever anyone wills to do his will, he knows concerning the doctrine - whether it be of Elohim, or whether I speak of myself.

⁶
BEING A GOOD MINISTER
Lay these in front of the brothers: to be a good minister of Yah Shua Messiah, nurtured in the words of the trust and of good doctrine which you closely followed:

⁹ upholding the trustworthy word of doctrine; to be capable in sound doctrine both to beseech and reprove the contradicters.

²⁴
THE BIRTH OF SHELOMOH
And David sighs over Bath Sheba his woman and goes in to her and lies down with her; and she births a son and he calls his name Shelomoh: and Yah Veh loves him: ²⁵ and he sends by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he calls his name Yedid Yah, because of Yah Veh.

¹³ go and enter to sovereign David, and say unto him, Oathed you not, my adoni, O sovereign, to your maid, saying, Assuredly Shelomoh your son reigns after me, and settles on my throne? Why reigns Adoni Yah? ¹⁴ Behold, while you still word with the sovereign, I also come in after you, and fulfill/shalam your words. ¹⁵ And Bath Sheba enters to the sovereign into the chamber: and the sovereign ages mightily; and Abi Shag the Shunemiyth ministers to the sovereign: ¹⁶ and Bath Sheba bows and prostrates to the sovereign. And the sovereign says, What - to you? ¹⁷ And she says to him, My adoni, you oathed to your maid by Yah Veh your Elohim, Assuredly Shelomoh your son reigns after me and settles on my throne.

⁵ And these are birthed to him in Yeru Shalem: Shimah and Shobab and Nathan and Shelomoh - four of Bath Shua the daughter of Ammi El:

⁵ And David says, Shelomoh my son is a lad and tender and the house to be built for Yah Veh is to greaten upward - in name and adornment throughout all lands - I now prepare. Thus David prepares in abundance at the face of his death.

¹
DAVID CHARGES THE CONGREGATION TO BUILD THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH ELOHIM
And David the sovereign says to all the congregation, Shelomoh my son, the one Elohim chooses; a lad and tender; and the work is great: for the palace is not for humanity, but for Yah Veh Elohim:

²³ O Yah Veh, I know that the way of humanity is not within humanity: it is not within man who walks to establish his paces.

¹⁰
THE SPIRIT OF CHARISM
And I pour on the house of David, and on the settlers of Yeru Shalem, the spirit of charism and of supplications: and they look on me whom they pierced, and they chop for him as one chops for his only, and embitter over him as one embitters for his firstbirthed.

¹⁶ of the same thought one toward another; think not highly, but lead with the humble; think not beyond yourselves;

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

³ Neither work after the works of the land of Misrayim, wherein you settled; nor work after the works of the land of Kenaan, where I bring you; nor walk in their statutes. ⁴ Work my judgments and guard my ordinances, to walk therein: I - Yah Veh your Elohim. ⁵ Guard my statutes and my judgments: which if a human works, he lives therein. I - Yah Veh.

⁹ Only guard yourself and guard your soul mightily, lest you forget the words your eyes saw; and lest they turn aside from your heart all the days of your life: but teach them to your sons and the sons of your sons.

⁶ And these words, I misvah you this day, become in your heart:

¹¹ Now, my son, Yah Veh be with you and prosper you; and build the house of Yah Veh your Elohim as he words you: ¹² only, Yah Veh give you comprehension and discernment and misvah you concerning Yisra El; to guard the torah of Yah Veh your Elohim: ¹³ then you prosper, if you guard to work the statutes and judgments Yah Veh misvahed Mosheh concerning Yisra El. Strengthen! Encourage! Neither awe nor terrify! ¹⁴ And behold, in my humiliation I prepared for the house of Yah Veh a hundred thousand rounds of gold and a thousand thousand rounds of silver; and of copper and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: and I prepared timber and stone; and you add thereto: ¹⁵ and there are workers of the work with you in abundance - hewers and artificers of stone and timber and all manner of wise for every manner of work: ¹⁶ of the gold, the silver and the copper and the iron, there is no number. Rise and work! And Yah Veh be with you.

¹¹ I treasure your sayings in my heart that I not sin against you.

¹ My son, forget not my torah; and your heart guard my misvoth;

² guard my misvoth and live; and my torah as the pupil of your eye:

⁶ Hanukkah a lad by mouth about his way; and when he ages, he turns not aside from it.

³ Spread your ear, and come to me; hear, and your soul lives; and I cut an eternal covenant with you - the trustworthy mercies of David.

⁵⁰ and I know his misvah is life eternal: so whatever I speak exactly as the Father said to me, thus I speak.

⁴ And you, fathers, enrage not your children: but nurture them in the discipline and admonition of Adonay.

⁵ taking remembrance of the unhypocritical trust within you, which first indwelt your mammy Lois and your mother Eunice: and I am convinced, also in you:

¹⁵ and that from infancy you have known the priestal scribings which are able to enwisen you to salvation through trust in Messiah Yah Shua.

⁹ and being completed/shalamed he became the causer of eternal salvation to all who obey him;

² and he works straight in the eyes of Yah Veh and walks in the ways of David his father: and turns aside neither to the right nor to the left.

¹¹ My foot holds to his steps; I guard his way; and neither pervert

¹⁸ nor apostatized our heart nor stretched our steps from your way:

⁵¹ The arrogant scorn me mightily; yet I spread not from your torah:

¹⁵⁷ many are my pursuers and my tribulators; yet I spread not from your witnesses:

²² Until when, O gullible, love you gullibility? and scorners delight in their scorning? and fools hate knowledge? ²³ Turn at my reproof; behold, I gush my spirit to you; I make known my words to you.

² - to hearken your ear to wisdom and spread your heart to discernment; ³ yes, if you call after discernment and give your voice for discerning; ⁴ if you seek her as silver and search for her as hid treasures

¹³ Blithe - the human who finds wisdom and the human who produces discernment: ¹⁴ better, the merchandise thereof than the merchandise of silver; and the produce thereof than ore: ¹⁵ she is more esteemed than pearls and all your desires are not comparable to her: ¹⁶ length of days is in her right; and in her left, riches and honor: ¹⁷ her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are shalom: ¹⁸ she is a tree of life to them who uphold her; and blithesome to them who uphold her.

⁵ to you, O gullible, discern strategy; and you, O fools, discern heart:

¹⁶ To chattelize wisdom; how much better than ore! and to chattelize discernment to be chosen above silver!

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

¹ He who seeks his own desire separates himself and quarrels with all evidence.

⁸ He who chattelizes heart loves his own soul; he who guards discernment finds good.

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

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

¹⁰ then wisdom enters your heart and knowledge pleases your soul; ¹¹ intrigue guards you; discernment guards you; ¹² to rescue you from the way of evil - from the man who words perversions:

²¹ pervert them not from your eyes; guard them midst your heart: ²² for they are life to them who find them and healing to all their flesh:

¹⁷ that through the trust the Messiah dwell in your hearts; that you, being rooted and founded in love,

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

¹⁶ Awe not when man enriches - when the honor of his house abounds: ¹⁷ for when he dies he takes naught; his honor descends not after him. ¹⁸ For while he lives he blesses his soul; and they spread hands to you when you well-please yourself. ¹⁹ He goes to the generation of his fathers; never to see light in perpetuity. ²⁰ Humanity in esteem who discerns not, is as the beasts that perish.

¹⁰⁴ Through your precepts I discern; so I hate every false way.

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

⁴ I greatened my works; I built houses; I planted vineyards; ⁵ I worked gardens and orchards; and in them I planted trees of all fruits: ⁶ I worked pools of water to wet the forest to sprout trees; ⁷ I chattelized servants and maids and had sons of my house; I also had abundant chattel of oxen and flocks above all that were in Yeru Shalem at my face: ⁸ I also gathered silver and gold and the peculiar treasure of sovereigns and of the jurisdictions: I worked songsters and songtresses and the delights of the sons of humanity and mistresses of mistresses. ⁹ Thus I greatened and increased more than all ere my face in Yeru Shalem; also my wisdom stayed with me:

⁸ there is one; and there is no second: yes, he has neither son nor brother; yet he neither ends his toil nor satisfies his eye with riches: For whom toil I, that my soul lacks good? This is also vanity; yes, an evil drudgery.

¹² for wisdom is a shadow; silver is a shadow; and the advantage of knowledge, wisdom enlivens its masters!

¹⁶ Then I said, Better wisdom than might; the wisdom of the poor is despised and his words not heard. ¹⁷ The words of the wise are heard in rest more than the cry of him who reigns among fools. ¹⁸ Better wisdom than instruments of war; one sinner destroys abounding good.

⁴⁴
THE PARABLE OF THE SECRETED TREASURE
Again, the sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to treasure secreted in a field: which, when a human finds, he secretes; and for cheer thereof goes and sells all - as much as he has, and markets that field. ⁴⁵
THE PARABLE OF THE PRECIOUS PEARL
Again, the sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to a human merchant seeking goodly pearls: ⁴⁶ who, when he finds one pearl, vastly precious, goes and sells all - as much as he has and markets it.

³⁶ For what is a human benefited whenever he gains the whole cosmos and loses his own soul? ³⁷ Or what gives a human in exchange for his soul?

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

²⁰ And Elohim says to him, Thoughtless! This night your soul is required of you: so whose are those that you prepared?

⁸ Yes indeed, I still deem all loss for the superiority of the knowledge of Messiah Yah Shua my Adonay: for whom I lost all and deemed to be hound dog droppings to gain Messiah

³⁰ So - an oracle of Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El In saying, I say, that your house and the house of your father walk at my face eternally: and now - an oracle of Yah Veh far be it from me; for they who honor me, I honor; and they who despise me, I abase.

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? ¹⁰ - and the word well-pleases the eyes of Adonay that Shelomoh asks this word. ¹¹ And Elohim says to him, Because you ask this word and neither ask many days for yourself, nor ask riches for yourself, nor ask the soul of your enemies; but ask for yourself discernment to hear judgment ¹² behold, I work according to your words: behold, I give you a wise and discerning heart; so that neither is any like you at your face nor any rise like you after you: ¹³ and I also give you what you ask not - both riches and honor: so that there be no man among the sovereigns as you all your days:

³⁵ the wise inherit honor; and abasement is the exaltation of fools.

⁴ The finality of humility and to awe Yah Veh are riches and honor and life.

³ and they who comprehend with brilliance as the brilliance of the expanse; and they who justify many as the stars eternally and eternally.

⁹ - a wreath of charism to your head and chokers around your throat.

²² - life to your soul and charism to your throat.

³¹ Greyness is a crown of beauty found in the way of justness.

⁵ In that day, Yah Veh Sabaoth becomes for a crown of splendor; and for a corona of adornment to the survivors of his people;

⁹ In like manner also that women adorn themselves in cosmic costume with awe and soundmindedness; not in braided hair or gold or pearls or vastly precious garments; ¹⁰ but whatever befits women who pre-evangelize Elohim-reverence through good works.

⁷ You lowered him somewhat less than the angels ^*; you wreathed him with glory and honor and seated him over the works of your hands: ⁸ you subjugated all under his feet. For in that he subjugated all under him he allowed naught unsubjugated to him: and now we still see not all subjugated under him. ⁹ And we see Yah Shua, who was lowered somewhat less than Elohim ^* for the suffering of death, wreathed with glory and honor; that he by the charism of Elohim tasted death for every man. ^{* see Psalm 8:4-6}

⁴ but that secret human of the heart in what is incorruptible - of a meek and quiet spirit which is vastly precious in the sight of Elohim.

⁴ so that when the Arch Shepherd manifests, you receive a wreath of glory - amaranthine.

²¹ Whoever triumphs, I give to sit with me in my throne; even as I also triumphed and sit with my Father in his throne.

¹⁶ Honor your father and your mother, as Yah Veh your Elohim misvahed you; that your days be prolonged and that it well-please you, in the soil Yah Veh your Elohim gives you.

² to awe Yah Veh your Elohim, to guard all his statutes and the misvoth I misvahed you - you and your son and the son of your son all the days of your life; and to prolong your days.

²² I beseech you, receive the torah from his mouth and set his sayings in your heart.

¹ My son, if you take my sayings and hide my misvoth with you

² for they add to you length of days and years of life and shalom:

¹⁶ length of days is in her right; and in her left, riches and honor:

¹⁰ Take my discipline and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice ore:

²⁰ Yet hear the word of Yah Veh, O you women, and your ear take the word of his mouth; and teach your daughters lamentation and every woman her friend lamentation.

³² And what he see and hears, he witnesses; and no one takes his witness: ³³ whoever takes his witness sets his seal that Elohim is true:

¹³ For this cause also we eucharistize Elohim unceasingly, because, when you took the word of Elohim which you heard of us, you received it not as the word of humanity but exactly as it truly is, the word of Elohim; which also energizes in you who trust.

¹⁵ This word is trustworthy and worthy of all acceptation, that Messiah Yah Shua came into the cosmos to save sinners; of whom I am first.

⁵ See, I taught you statutes and judgments, even as Yah Veh my Elohim misvahed me, to work thus midst the land you go to possess.

²³ I also, far be it that I sin against Yah Veh, in ceasing to pray for you; but I direct you to the good and the straight way: ²⁴ only, awe Yah Veh and serve him in truth with all your heart: for see how he greatens you.

³ He restores my soul; he leads me in the paths of justness for sake of his name.

⁴ Have me know your ways, O Yah Veh; teach me your paths: ⁵ aim me in your truth and teach me; for you are Elohim of my salvation: I await you all the day.

⁴ and teaches me and says to me, O that your heart uphold my words; guard my misvoth and live.

⁶ hear; for I speak of eminence; and the opening of my lips of straightnesses:

⁹ they are all straightforward to him who discerns and straight to them who find knowledge.

²⁰ I walk in the way of justness midst the paths of judgment;

⁹ And moreover, because the Congregationer was wiser, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he hearkened and probed and set in order abounding proverbs.

¹⁰ and says, O full of all deceit and all malignity, you son of Diabolos, you enemy of all justness, pause you not from thoroughly perverting the straight ways of Yah Veh?

³⁷ you enlarge my paces under me so that my ankles waver not.

⁷ the paces of his strength constrict and his own counsel casts him down. ⁸ For he is sent into a net by his own feet and he walks on a netting;

³⁶ you enlarge my paces under me; my ankles waver not.

¹¹ for he misvahs his angels over you, to guard you in all your ways: ¹² hey lift you in their palms lest you stub your foot against a stone:

¹⁶⁵ Great shalom have they who love your torah; they have no stumblingblock.

²³ Then you walk your way confidently and stub not your foot:

¹⁹ The way of the wicked is as darkness; they know not at what they stumble.

²² in going, it leads you; in lying down, it guards you; and in wakening, it meditates with you.

⁹ they come with weeping; and with supplications I lead them: I walk them by the wadies of waters in a straight way wherein they falter not: for I am a father to Yisra El and Ephrayim is my firstbirthed.

⁹ Yah Shua answers, Are there not indeed twelve hours in the day? Whenever anyone walks in the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this cosmos: ¹⁰ but whenever a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him.

³² Why? Because - not by trust, but as by the works of the torah. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; ³³ exactly as scribed, Behold, I place in Siyon a stumblingstone and a rock of scandal: and whoever trusts thereon, shames not. ^{Psalm 118:22, Isaiah 8:14, 28:16}

⁸ and a stone of stumbling and a rock of scandal to them who stumble at the word - who distrust: to which also they were set.

¹⁰ whoever loves his brother abides in the light and there is no scandal in him: ¹¹ but whoever hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness and knows not where he goes - because darkness blinds his eyes.

²⁶ and he says, Send me away, for the dawn ascends. And he says, I send you not away, unless you bless me.
YAAQOV NAMED YISRA EL

⁴⁷ For this is no vain word for you; because it is your life: and through this word, prolong your days in the soil, where you pass over Yarden to possess it.

¹⁸ she is a tree of life to them who uphold her; and blithesome to them who uphold her.

⁴ In a little I pass from them, until I find him whom my soul loves; I hold him and not let him go until I bring him into the house of my mother - into the chamber of her who conceived me.

²⁷ -and beginning at Mosheh and all the prophets, he translates to them of all the scriptures of those concerning himself. ²⁸ And they approach the village where they go: and he preplans to go further: ²⁹ and they constrain him, wording, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day reclines. - and he enters to abide with them.

³⁹ And many of the Shomeroniym of that city trust in him because of the word of the woman who witnessed, He said to me as much as I ever did. ⁴⁰
YAH SHUA AND THE SHOMERONIYM
And the Shomeroniym go to him, and ask him to abide with them; and he abides there two days: ⁴¹ and many more trust because of his own word. ⁴² And they word to the woman, Now we trust, not because of your speech: for we hear him ourselves, and know that this is truly the Saviour of the cosmos - the Messiah.

⁶⁸ So Shimon Petros answers him, Adonay, to whom go we? You have the rhema of eternal life:

⁴² and they continue stedfastly in the doctrine and communion of the apostles and in breaking of bread and in prayers:

²³ - who, when he comes and sees the charism of Elohim, cheers, and beseeches them all, that with prothesis of heart, they abide in Adonay.

²¹ proof all, hold what is good,

¹³ I know your works and where you settle - where the throne of Satan is: and you empower my name and deny not my trust - even in those days wherein Antipas my trustworthy witness was slaughtered among you - where Satan settles.

¹¹ And they triumph over him through the blood of the Lamb and through the word of their witness; and they love not their souls to the death.

¹
BOOK I
Blithe - the man who neither walks in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor settles in the settlement of the scornful.

⁴ I neither settle with vain men nor go with imposters: ⁵ I hate the congregation of vilifiers and settle not with the wicked:

¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice you, be not willing:

¹⁵ - my son, walk not in the way with them; withhold your foot from their path:

⁶ Forsake the gullible and live; blithesome in the way of discernment.

²⁰ He who walks with the wise, enwisens; and he who befriends fools, shouts.

³³ Be not seduced; evil homilies corrupt kind habits.

⁷ Remove afar from a false word; and the innocent and just slaughter you not: for I justify not the wicked.

¹⁴ if mischief be in your hand, remove it far away; tabernacle no wickedness in your tents.

²³ If you return to Shadday, you are built up; remove wickedness far from your tents:

⁸ remove your way far from her and come not near the portal of her house;

⁵ deliver yourself as a gazelle from the hand - as a bird from the hand of the snarer.

¹⁵ He who walks in justness and words straightly; he who spurns the gain of oppressions; who shakes his palms from upholding bribes; who shuts his ears from hearing of blood and binds his eyes from seeing evil:

¹¹ And co-partake not with the unfruitful works of darkness - but rather reprove them.

²² abstain from all semblance of evil:

⁴ he fabricates mischief on his bed; he neither sets himself in a good way nor spurns evil.

¹⁶ for their feet run to evil and hasten to pour blood.

²⁰ And the wicked are as the driven sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters expel filth and mire.

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:

⁶⁶
YAH SHUA IN FRONT OF THE SANHEDRIM
And being day, the elders of the people and the archpriests and the scribes gather together, and bring him into their sanhedrim, wording,

²⁸
THE TRIAL OF YAH SHUA
So they lead Yah Shua from Caiaphas to the praetorium: and it is early morning; and they themselves enter not the praetorium, lest they defile themselves to eat the pasach.

¹⁴ eyes full of adultery, and restless from sin; entrapping unstable souls; a heart exercised with avarice; children of curse

⁵ Behold, as wild runners in the wilderness, they go to their deeds; rising early for a prey; to the plains for bread - for them and their lads; ⁶ they harvest their fodder in the field; they glean the vineyard of the wicked;

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

¹⁷ Stolen waters sweeten and covert bread pleases!

¹⁷ Bread of falsehood is pleasant to a man; and afterward his mouth is filled with gravel.

²⁶ for wicked are found among my people: they observe, as he who weaves snares; they station a ruin, they captivate men: ²⁷ as a cage full of flyers, thus are their houses full of deceit: so they greaten and enrich; ²⁸ they fatten; they shine: yes, they overpass the words of the evil: they plead not the cause - the cause of the orphan, yet they prosper; and the judgment of the needy they judge not.

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

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

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.

¹² - whose the rich are filled of violence and the settlers speak falsehoods; and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth?

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

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.

⁴ Behold, the hire of the workers who ingathered your regions - whom you cheated, cries out: and the cries of them who harvest enter the ears of Yah Veh Sabaoth. ⁵ You indulged on the earth and luxuriated; you nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter;

⁴ rising as the light of the morning - as the morning sun without thick clouds; - as the sprouts from the earth by brilliancy after rain.

¹⁷ and transcience rises above the noonday; you fly - you are as the morning;

¹⁰ For he knows my way; he proofs me; I come forth as gold.

⁷ They go from valour to valour - seen by Elohim in Siyon.

⁷ The way of the just is straightness: you, O straight, weigh the route of the just.

³ And we know - we pursue to know Yah Veh: as the dawn he prepares his proceeding; and he comes to us as the downpour - as the after rain pouring to the earth.

⁶ And so be it, in that day, that the light neither esteems nor curdles: ⁷ and so be it, in one day, known only to Yah Veh, neither day nor night: and so be it, that at evening time it becomes light:

¹⁴ You are the light of the cosmos. Neither can a city set on a mountain be secreted;

¹⁶ Thus radiate your light in front of humanity; so they see your good works and glorify your Father in the heavens.

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

¹² So again Yah Shua speaks to them, wording, I AM the light of the cosmos: whoever follows me, walks not in darkness, but has the light of life.

¹⁸ And we all, with unveiled face, reflecting the glory Yah Veh, are metamorphosed into the same icon from glory to glory exactly as by the Spirit of Yah Veh. ^{Exodus 16:7}

¹⁵ that you be blameless and unadulterated - the children of Elohim - unblemished midst a crooked and perverted generation; in whom you manifest as lights in the cosmos:

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:

¹⁸ But grow in charism and in the knowledge of our Adonay and Saviour Yah Shua Messiah. To him be glory both now and to the day of the eons. Amen.

²³ and the city needs neither the sun nor the moon to manifest therein: for the glory of Elohim lights it and the Lamb is the candle thereof.

⁵ And there is no night there; and they need neither candle nor light of the sun; because Yah Veh Elohim lights them: and they reign to the eons of the eons.

⁹ He guards the feet of his mercied and the wicked hush in darkness; for no man prevails mightily by force.

¹⁴ They meet with darkness in the day and grope in the noonday as in the night.

²⁵ they grope in the dark without light and he staggers them as intoxicated.

⁵ Yes, the light of the wicked extinguishes and the flame of his fire illuminates not; ⁶ the light darkens in his tent and his lamp extinguishes with him;

¹⁸ he is exiled from light into darkness and chased from the world.

¹³ who forsakes the paths of straightness to walk in the ways of darkness;

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:

¹⁶
THE THREAT OF EXILE
Give honor to Yah Veh your Elohim ere he causes darkness; and ere your feet stub on the evening breeze of the mountains: and while you look for light, he sets it into the shadow of death and places dripping darkness:

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.

²³ And then I profess to them, I never ever knew you: depart from me, you who violate the torah.

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

¹⁰ but whenever a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him.

³⁵ So Yah Shua says to them, Yet a little time the light is with you: Walk while you have the light lest darkness overtake you: for whoever walks in darkness knows not where he goes.

¹¹ but whoever hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness and knows not where he goes - because darkness blinds his eyes.

¹ A Discerning by Asaph. Hearken, O my people, to my torah; spread your ears to the sayings of my mouth.

¹² So have us know to number our days, so that we apply our hearts to wisdom.

²⁰ My son, guard the misvah of your father and abandon not the torah of your mother: ²¹ bind them continually on your heart and fasten them about your throat.

¹ My son, guard my sayings and treasure my misvoth with you:

⁵ While he still speaks, behold, a brightly lighted cloud overshadows them: and behold, a voice from the cloud, wording, This is my beloved Son, of whom I well-approve: Hear him!

⁸ I delight to work your pleasure, O my Elohim; yes, your torah is within my inwards.

³ forsake not mercy and truth; bind them about your throat; inscribe them on the slab of your heart:

²¹ My son, pervert them not from your eyes; guard substance and intrigue

¹ My son, guard my sayings and treasure my misvoth with you: ² guard my misvoth and live; and my torah as the pupil of your eye:

⁸ - healing to your navel and moisture to your bones.

¹⁰ Hear, O my son, and take my sayings; and abound the years of your life:

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

⁶ Behold, I ascend health and healing and I heal them; and expose to them the abundance of shalom and truth:

²³ Probe me, O El, and know my heart; proof me and know my thoughts: ²⁴ and see if there be a contorting way in me and lead me in the way eternal.

⁷ the firstfruits, wisdom; chattelize wisdom: and with all your chattelizing chattelize discernment.

¹⁶ A woman of charism upholds honor; and tyrants uphold riches.

³ He who guards his mouth guards his soul; he who spreads his lips has ruin.

⁵ Thorns and snares are in the way of the pervert; he who guards his soul is far from them.

¹⁹ Hear you, my son and enwisen and blithe your heart in the way.

²⁶ Whoever confides in his own heart is a fool; and whoever walks in wisdom, escapes.

¹³ There is an evil stroke I saw under the sun - riches guarded for the master, for his evil:

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

³⁴
YAH SHUA DENOUNCES THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES
O progeny of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good? For the mouth speaks from the super abundance of the heart: ³⁵ a good human from the good treasure of the heart ejects good: and an evil human from the evil treasure ejects evil.

¹⁹
FROM THE HEART VS FROM THE MOUTH
For from the heart proceed evil reasonings, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, pseudo witnesses, blasphemies:

²¹ For from within, from the heart of humanity, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, whoredoms, murders, ²² thefts, avarices, evils, deceit, lasciviousness, maliciousness, blasphemy, pride, thoughtlessness: ²³ all these maliciousnesses proceed from within and profane the human.

³⁸ Watch and pray lest you enter into testing. The spirit indeed is eager, but the flesh is frail.

⁴⁵ A good human from the good treasure of his heart produces good; and an evil human from the evil treasure of his heart produces evil: for his mouth speaks from the super abundance of the heart.

¹⁵ overseeing lest anyone fall behind of the charism of Elohim; lest any sprouting root of bitterness harass you; and through this many are defiled;

¹⁴ but each is tested when he is enticed of his own panting and entrapped. ¹⁵ Then when panting conceives, it births sin: and when sin completes/shalams, it breeds death.

¹² A human Beli Yaal - a man of mischief walks with a perverted mouth;

⁸ all the sayings of my mouth are in justness; naught of them is twisted or perverted:

¹³ The awe of Yah Veh is to hate evil; pomp and pompousness and the evil way and the mouth of perversions, I hate:

²⁰ A perverted heart finds no good; and a turned tongue falls into evil.

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

²⁵ So put away lying - each speaking truth with your neighbour: for we are members of one another. ²⁶
ADMONITIONS TO THE HOLY
Be wroth and sin not: neither have the sun go down upon your rage: ²⁷ nor give place to Diabolos. ²⁸ Whoever stole, steal no more: but rather labor, working good with the hands, so as to impart to him who needs. ²⁹ Have no putrefied word proceed from your mouth; but if there be any good to the edifying of what is needed that it give charism to the hearers. ³⁰ And sorrow not the holy Spirit of Elohim, in whom you are sealed to the day of redemption. ³¹ Take from you all bitterness and fury and anger and crying out and blasphemy with all malice:

⁸ But now, even you, put all these from your mouth; wrath, fury, malice, blasphemy, shameful words.

⁵ human diatribes of corrupt minds, deprived of the truth, presuming reverence to be gain: depart from such:

²¹ So put away all foulness and superabundance of malice; and in meekness receive the implanted word which is able to save your souls:

²⁶ If anyone among you thinks himself as being ceremonious and bridles not his tongue but deludes his own heart - the ceremony of this man is vain.

¹
AS NEWBORN INFANTS
So putting away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisies and envies and all slanders,

¹ I cut a covenant with my eyes; and what - discern I a virgin?

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

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

³³ Your eyes see strange women and your heart words perversions:

²²
THE EYE
The candle of the body is the eye: so whenever your eye is clear, your whole body becomes brightly lit:

²³ The paces of the mighty are established by Yah Veh; and he delights in his way:

² and he ascends me from a roaring well - from the miry mire; and raises my feet on a rock and establishes my steps.

⁵ O that I prepared my ways to guard your statutes!

⁵⁹ I fabricate my ways and turned my feet to your witnesses:

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

²¹ For the ways of man are in front of the eyes of Yah Veh and he weighs all his routes.

²⁸ because he sees and turns from all the rebellions he worked; in living, he lives: he dies not.

⁵ And now, thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: Set your heart on your ways.

⁷ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: Set your heart on your ways:

¹⁵ So see that you walk precisely - not as unwise, but as wise,

¹⁷ So be not thoughtless, but comprehend the will of Adonay.

¹³ to establish your hearts unaccusable in holiness in front of Elohim - even our Father at the parousia of our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah with all his holy.

³ And trustworthy is Adonay, who establishes you and guards you from evil.

¹³ and make straight tracks for your feet, lest whoever is lame turns aside; but rather be healed.

¹⁰ And the Elohim of all charism, who calls us to his eternal glory in Messiah Yah Shua, after you suffer a little, prepare you, establish, invigorate, foundation you.

³² Guard to work as Yah Veh your Elohim misvahs you: turn not aside to the right or to the left.

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

¹⁴ and turn not aside from any of the words I misvah you this day - right or left, to go after other elohim to serve them.

⁷ Only, strengthen and encourage mightily to guard to work according to all the torah Mosheh my servant misvahed you: turn not aside from it - right or left, so that wherever you go, you comprehend.

¹⁷ The highway of the straight is to turn aside from evil; he who guards his way guards his soul.

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

⁹ Love, eunhypocritical; abhor evil; adhere to good;
