And the prophets, live they eternally? ⁶ Only, my words and my statutes which I misvahed to my servants the prophets, overtook they not your fathers?

CONCERNING FASTING
And so be it, in the fourth year of sovereign Daryavesh, so be the word of Yah Veh to Zechar Yah in the fourth of the ninth month, in Kislav;

³⁵ so that all the just blood poured on the earth comes upon you - from the blood of just Abel - to the blood of Zechar Yah son of Berech Yah whom you murdered between the nave and the sacrifice altar.

⁵¹ - from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechar Yah - who destructed between the sacrifice altar and the house: yes, I word to you, It is required of this generation.

¹⁶ Thus says Yah Veh, Behold, I bring evil on this place and the settlers thereof - all the words of the scroll the sovereign of Yah Hudah calls out: ¹⁷ because they forsake me and incense to other elohim - to vex me with all the works of their hands; I kindle my fury against this place and quench not.

¹⁹ because you tenderized your heart and humbled yourself at the face of Yah Veh, when you heard what I worded against this place and against the settlers thereof - that they become a desolation and an abasement and you ripped your clothes and wept at my face; I also hear - an oracle of Yah Veh.

²⁶ Only, Yah Veh turns not from his fuming great wrath, whereby he kindles his wrath against Yah Hudah, because of all the vexations Menash Sheh vexed him.

¹³ and he also rebels against sovereign Nebukadnets Tsar - who has him oath by Elohim: but he hardens his neck and strengthens his heart from turning to Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El. ¹⁴ Also, all the governors of the priests and the people, in treasoning, abound to treason after all the abhorrences of the goyim; and foul the house of Yah Veh which he hallowed in Yeru Shalem. ¹⁵
THE FURY OF YAH VEH AGAINST HIS PEOPLE
And Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers sends to them by the hand of his angels - starting early and sending; because he has compassion on his people and on his habitation: ¹⁶ and they deride the angels of Elohim and despise his words and deceive his prophets until the fury of Yah Veh ascends against his people - until there is no healing. ¹⁷ And he ascends the sovereign of the Kasdiy on them who slaughters their youths with the sword in the house of their holies: and has no compassion on youth or virgin; old man or aged: he gives them all into his hand: ¹⁸ and all the instruments of the house of Elohim - great and small and the treasures of the house of Yah Veh and the treasures of the sovereign and of his governors - all these he brings to Babel: ¹⁹ and they burn the house of Elohim and pull down the wall of Yeru Shalem and burn all the citadels thereof with fire and ruin all the instruments of desire thereof: ²⁰ and he exiles them who survive the sword to Babel; where they are servants to him and his sons until the reign of the sovereigndom of Persia:

⁶ and say, O my Elohim, I shame and blush to lift my face to thee, my Elohim: for our perversities abound over our head, and our guilt grows to the heavens: ⁷ since the days of our fathers we are in a great guilt - unto this day: and for our perversities, our sovereigns and our priests, are given into the hand of the sovereigns of the lands - to the sword, to captivity, and to a plunder, and to shamed face, as this day.

¹³ And after all that comes upon us for our evil works and for our great guilt - seeing that you our Elohim; spare us from our downward perversities, and give us such an escape as this

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: ²⁷ and you gave them into the hand of their tribulators who tribulated them: and in the time of their tribulation they cried to you; and you heard from the heavens; and according to your abundant mercies you gave them saviours to save them from the hand of their tribulators:

¹ To His Eminence; On Trumpet of Witness: A Poem by David, when he strives with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Sobah, when Yah Ab returns and smites twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt/Gay Melach. O Elohim, you cast us off; you breached us; you angered: O return to us!

⁵ Until when, O Yah Veh? Anger you in perpetuity? Burns your jealousy as fire? ⁶ Pour out your fury on the goyim who know you not; and on the sovereigndoms who call not on your name:

⁶ and I poured my fury and my wrath and it burns in the cities of Yah Hudah and in the outways of Yeru Shalem; and they are parched and desolate, as this day.

¹² Is it naught to you, all you who pass by the way? Look and see if there be any sorrow like to the sorrow exploited to me - wherewith Yah Veh afflicted me in the day of his fuming wrath. ¹³ From above the heights he sends fire into my bones to subjugate; he spreads a net for my feet; he turns me back; he gives me desolation and bleeding all the day: ¹⁴ the yoke of my rebellions is bound by his hand - entwined and ascend on my neck; he falters my force; Adonay gives me into their hands; I am not able to rise. ¹⁵ Adonay tramples all my mighty in my midst; he calls a congregation against me to break my young men; as in a winepress Adonay treads the virgin daughter of Yah Hudah.

³ in his fuming wrath he cuts off all the horn of Yisra El; he turns back his right from the face of the enemy; and he burns against Yaaqov as a flaming fire - consuming all around: ⁴ he bends his bow as an enemy; he stations with his right as a tribulator and slaughters all who are a desire to the eye in the tent of the daughter of Siyon; he pours out his fury as fire. ⁵ Adonay, as an enemy, swallows Yisra El, he swallows all her citadels; he ruins his fortresses; and abounds mourning and sighing in the daughter of Yah Hudah:

⁴² we - we transgress and rebel: you - you forgive not; ⁴³ you cover with wrath and pursue us; you slaughter; you spare not: ⁴⁴ you cover with a cloud so our prayer passes not through: ⁴⁵ you set us the offscouring and refuse midst the people:

⁷ our fathers sinned and are not; and we bear their perversities:

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

¹¹ Yes, all Yisra El trespassed your torah, even by turning aside to not hearken to your voice; so the oath pours on us - the oath inscribed in the torah of Mosheh the servant of Elohim, because we sinned against him. ¹² And he raises the words he worded against us and against our judges who judge us, by bringing a great evil on us - as never worked under the whole heavens as he works on Yeru Shalem:

¹
THE CALL OF YAH VEH TO THE GOYIM
Gather yourselves; yes, gather, O goyim not yearned for: ² ere the birth of the statute; ere the day pass as the chaff; ere the fuming wrath of Yah Veh comes on you; ere the day of the wrath of Yah Veh comes on you. ³ Seek Yah Veh, all you humble of the earth, who do his judgment: seek justness; seek humility: perhaps you are hidden in the day of the wrath of Yah Veh.

³⁰ and word, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we had not been communicants with them in the blood of the prophets. ³¹ So you witness to yourselves that you are the sons of them who murdered the prophets: ³² and you - you fulfill/shalam the measure of your fathers.

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

³⁰ - when you are in tribulation and all these words find you - even in the final days, if you turn to Yah Veh your Elohim and hearken to his voice; ³¹
YAH VEH, A MERCIFUL EL for Yah Veh your Elohim is a merciful El; he neither lets you loose nor ruins you, nor forgets the covenant of your fathers which he oathed to them.

² and you return to Yah Veh your Elohim and hear his voice according to all I misvah you this day - you and your sons with all your heart and with all your soul; ³ then Yah Veh your Elohim turns your captivity and mercies you and returns and gathers you from all the goyim - wherever Yah Veh your Elohim scattered you: ⁴ and so be it, if you are expelled to the ends of the heavens, from thence Yah Veh your Elohim gathers you; and from thence he takes you: ⁵ and Yah Veh your Elohim brings you to possess the land your fathers possessed: and he well-pleases you and abounds you above your fathers: ⁶ and Yah Veh your Elohim circumcises your heart and the heart of your seed - to love Yah Veh your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul for your life: ⁷ and Yah Veh your Elohim gives all these oaths on your enemies and on them who hate you - who pursue you. ⁸ And you return and hear the voice of Yah Veh and work all his misvoth which I misvah you this day: ⁹ and Yah Veh your Elohim overflows you in every work of your hand - in the fruit of your belly and in the fruit of your animals and in the fruit of your soil, for good: for Yah Veh returns to rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers: ¹⁰ for you hearken to the voice of Yah Veh your Elohim - to guard his misvoth and his statutes inscribed in this scroll of the torah: for you turn to Yah Veh your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul.

⁴⁷ and they turn their hearts to the land they were captured and turn and beseech to you in the land of them who captured them, saying, We sinned and perverted; we did wickedly; ⁴⁸ and return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who captured them; and pray to you toward the land you gave their fathers - the city you chose and the house I built for your name:

⁴ and in their tribulation they turn to Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El and seek him, and find him:

⁶ And the runners go with the epistles from the hand of the sovereign and his governors throughout all Yisra El and Yah Hudah; and according to the misvah of the sovereign, saying, You sons of Yisra El, return to Yah Veh Elohim of Abraham, Yischaq and Yisra El; and he returns your survivors - escapees from the palm of the sovereigns of Ashshur: ⁷ and be not like your fathers and like your brothers, who treasoned against Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers, and he gave them to desolation - as you see. ⁸ Now harden not your necks as your fathers; give your hand to Yah Veh and enter the holies he hallowed eternally: and serve Yah Veh your Elohim, to turn his fuming wrath from you. ⁹ For if you return to Yah Veh, he mercies your brothers and your sons at the face of their captors, to return to this land: for Yah Veh your Elohim is charismatic and merciful and turns not his face from you, if you return to him.

²⁸ and they rested; and returned to work evil at your face: and you left them in the hand of their enemies to subjugate them: and they returned and cried to you and you heard from the heavens; and many times you rescued them according to your mercies:

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

⁶ Seek Yah Veh while he is to be found; call on him while he is near: ⁷ the wicked forsake his way; and the man of mischief, his fabrications: and he returns to Yah Veh, and he mercies him; and to our Elohim, for he abounds to forgive.

¹² Go and call out these words northward, and say, Return, you apostate Yisra El - an oracle of Yah Veh. I fell not my face on you: for I am merciful - an oracle of Yah Veh. I guard not eternally: ¹³ only, acknowledge your perversity, that you rebel against Yah Veh your Elohim and scatter your ways to the strangers under every green tree, and hearken not to my voice - an oracle of Yah Veh. ¹⁴ Turn, O apostate sons - an oracle of Yah Veh for I am married to you: and I take you, one of a city and two of a family and I bring you to Siyon:

²² Return, you apostate sons, and I heal your apostasies. Behold, we come to you; for you are Yah Veh our Elohim.

¹
YAH VEH PLEADS WITH YISRA EL
If you return, O Yisra El, - an oracle of Yah Veh return to me; and if you turn aside your abominations from my face, then you wander not:

¹⁵ And so be it, after I uproot them, I return and compassion them, return them - every man to his inheritance and every man to his land.

⁵ saying, Turn back, I beseech, every man from his evil way, and from the evil of your exploits, and settle in the soil Yah Veh I gave to you and to your fathers eternally and eternally:

¹² And you, call on me; and come and pray to me; and I hearken to you: ¹³ and you, seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart: ¹⁴ and you find me - an oracle of Yah Veh and I return your captivity and I gather you from all the goyim and from all the places I drove you - an oracle of Yah Veh and I return you to the place whence I exiled you;

¹⁸ In hearing, I hear Ephrayim wagging over himself; You disciplined me - disciplined me as a calf not trained: return me, and I return; for you are Yah Veh my Elohim. ¹⁹ Surely after I returned, I sighed; and after I was instructed, I slapped my flank: I shamed, yes, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth. ²⁰ Is Ephrayim my esteemed son? A child of delights? For since I worded sufficient against him, in remembering, I remember him still: so my inwards trouble for him; In mercying, I mercy him - an oracle of Yah Veh.

¹⁵ I also sent all my servants the prophets to you - starting early, and sending them, saying, Return, I beseech, every man from his evil way and well-prepare your exploits; and go not after other elohim to serve them; and settle in the soil I gave to you and to your fathers: and you neither spread your ear nor hearkened to me.

³⁹ Why sighs any living human - the mighty for his sins? ⁴⁰ We search our ways and probe and return to Yah Veh; ⁴¹ we lift our heart with palms to El in the heavens;

¹¹ Say to them, I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh, I delight not in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn - turn from your evil ways; for why die, O house of Yisra El?

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

¹
YAH VEH APPEALS TO YISRA EL
O Yisra El, return to Yah Veh your Elohim; for you falter by your perversity.

⁴ I heal their apostasy; I love them voluntarily: for my wrath turns from him.

¹² And also now - an oracle of Yah Veh you, turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting and with weeping and with chopping:

¹⁹ He restores; he mercies us: he subdues our perversities. You cast all their sins into the deep of the sea; ²⁰ You give truth to Yaaqov; mercy to Abraham - which you oathed to our fathers from the days of antiquity.

⁷
TITHING
Even from the days of your fathers you turn aside from my statutes and guard them not. Return to me and I return to you, says Yah Veh Sabaoth. And you say, Return in what?

¹⁸ I rise and go to my father, and say to him, Father, I sinned against the heavens and in your sight; ¹⁹ and am no more worthy to be called your son: make me as one of your hirelings. ²⁰ And he rises, and comes to his father. and still being afar, his father sees him and has a sympathetic spleen and runs and falls on his neck and ardently kisses him: ²¹ - and the son says to him, Father, I sinned against the heavens and in your sight and am no more worthy to be called your son. ²² But the father says to his servants, Bring the preeminent stole and endue him; and give a finger ring on his hand and shoes on his feet;

⁸ approach Elohim and he approaches you; purify your hands, sinners; and hallow your hearts, double souled; ⁹ be miserable and mourn and weep; overturn your laughter to mourning and your cheer to sadness; ¹⁰ humble yourselves in the sight of Yah Veh and he exalts you.

¹⁹ and he sends prophets among them to return them to Yah Veh: and they witness against them; but they hearken not. ²⁰ And the Spirit of Elohim enrobes Zechar Yah the son of Yah Yada the priest - who stands above the people and says to them, Thus says Elohim, Why trespass you the misvoth of Yah Veh, and prosper not? Because you forsake Yah Veh, he forsakes you. ²¹ And at the misvah of the sovereign they conspire against him; and stone him with stones in the court of the house of Yah Veh. 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.

⁶ For our fathers treason and work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh our Elohim; and forsake him and turn their faces from the tabernacle of Yah Veh and give their necks: ⁷ also, they shut the doors of the porch and quench the lamps; and neither incense incense nor holocaust holocausts in the holies to Elohim of Yisra El: ⁸ and the rage of Yah Veh is on Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem and he gives them to agitation and to desolation and to hissing - as you see with your eyes: ⁹ and behold, our fathers, fallen by the sword; and our sons and our daughters and our women, in captivity for this. ¹⁰ Now it is in my heart to cut a covenant with Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El to turn his fuming wrath from us.

⁷ and be not like your fathers and like your brothers, who treasoned against Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers, and he gave them to desolation - as you see.

²¹ Go, enquire of Yah Veh for me and for them who survive in Yisra El and in Yah Hudah, concerning the words of the scroll that is found: for great is the fury of Yah Veh poured out on us because our fathers guarded not the word of Yah Veh - to work according to all inscribed in this scroll.

¹⁵
THE FURY OF YAH VEH AGAINST HIS PEOPLE
And Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers sends to them by the hand of his angels - starting early and sending; because he has compassion on his people and on his habitation: ¹⁶ and they deride the angels of Elohim and despise his words and deceive his prophets until the fury of Yah Veh ascends against his people - until there is no healing.

⁷ since the days of our fathers we are in a great guilt - unto this day: and for our perversities, our sovereigns and our priests, are given into the hand of the sovereigns of the lands - to the sword, to captivity, and to a plunder, and to shamed face, as this day.

¹⁶ And they and our fathers seethed and hardened their necks and hearkened not to your misvoth

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:

³⁰ and for many years you draw them and witness against them by your Spirit in the hand of your prophets; and they hearkened not: so you gave them into the hand of the people of the lands.

⁸ and not be as their fathers - a revolting and rebellious generation - a generation that prepared not their heart - whose spirit was not trustworthy with El.

⁶ We sinned with our fathers; we perverted; we did wickedly. ⁷ Our fathers neither comprehended your marvels in Misrayim; nor remembered the abundance of your mercies; but rebelled at the sea - the Reed sea:

¹⁶ Baptize yourself; purify yourself; turn aside the evil of your exploitations from in front of my eyes: cease to vilify; ¹⁷ learn to well-please; seek judgment; blithe the oppressed; judge the orphan; plead for the widow. ¹⁸ Come, I beseech, and we reason, says Yah Veh: though your sins be as scarlet, they whiten as snow; though they be reddened like crimson, they be as wool. ¹⁹ If you so will and hearken, you eat the good of the land:

⁹ that this is a rebellious people - deceptive sons - sons who will to not hear the torah of Yah Veh: ¹⁰ who say to the seers, See not; and to the seers, See not straightforwardnesses to us; word smoothly to us; see delusions: ¹¹ you, turn aside from the way; pervert from the path; shabbathize the Holy One of Yisra El from our face.

¹² Go and call out these words northward, and say, Return, you apostate Yisra El - an oracle of Yah Veh. I fell not my face on you: for I am merciful - an oracle of Yah Veh. I guard not eternally:

¹⁶ Thus says Yah Veh, You, stand in the ways, and see; and ask for the eternal paths where the good way is and walk therein; and find a resting place for your souls. And they say, We walk not. ¹⁷ And I raise watchers over you, Hearken to the voice of the shophar. And they say, We hearken not.

³ thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth the Elohim of Yisra El, Well-prepare your ways and your exploits, and I tabernacle you in this place. ⁴ Confide not in false words, saying, The manse of Yah Veh! The manse of Yah Veh! The manse of Yah Veh are they! ⁵ For if, in well-preparing, you well-prepare your ways and your exploitations; if in working, you work judgment between a man and his friend; ⁶ if you oppress not the sojourner, the orphan, and the widow, and pour not innocent blood in this place, and walk not after other elohim to your evil: ⁷ then I tabernacle you in this place in the land I gave to your fathers eternally and eternally.

⁶ And Yah Veh says to me, Call all these words in the cities of Yah Hudah and in the outways of Yeru Shalem, saying, Hear the words of this covenant, and work them. ⁷ For in witnessing, I witnessed to your fathers in the day I ascended them from the land of Misrayim to this day - starting early and witnessing, saying, Hearken to my voice! ⁸ And they neither hearkened nor spread their ear; and every man walked in the warp of his evil heart: and I brought on them all the words of this covenant which I misvahed them to work: and they worked them not.

⁹ Thus says Yah Veh, Thus I ruin the pomp of Yah Hudah and the great pomp of Yeru Shalem. ¹⁰ This evil people, who refuses to hear my words, who walk in the warp of their heart and walk after other elohim - to serve them and to prostrate to them, becomes as this girdle, prospering for naught.

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: ¹⁷ and if you hear it not, my soul weeps in coverts at the face of your arrogance; and my eye weeps sore and drips with tears, for the drove of Yah Veh is captured. ¹⁸ Say to the sovereign and to the lady, Abase! Sit! - for your headships descend - even the crown of your adornment.

¹⁹
HALLOWING THE SHABBATH
Thus says Yah Veh to me; Go and stand in the portal of the sons of the people whereby the sovereigns of Yah Hudah come and whereby they go; and in all the portals of Yeru Shalem: ²⁰ and say to them, Hear the word of Yah Veh - you sovereigns of Yah Hudah and all Yah Hudah and all the settlers of Yeru Shalem entering in by these portals. ²¹ Thus says Yah Veh, Guard your souls; and neither bear a burden on the shabbath day nor bring it in by the portals of Yeru Shalem: ²² neither carry forth a burden from your houses on the shabbath day nor work any work; but hallow the shabbath day as I misvahed your fathers: ²³ and they neither hearken nor spread their ear; and harden their neck so that they neither hear nor take discipline.

¹¹ And now I beseech, speak to the men of Yah Hudah and to the settlers of Yeru Shalem, saying, Thus says Yah Veh; Behold, I form evil against you, and fabricate a fabrication against you: you, return I beseech - every man from his evil way, and well-please in your ways and your exploitations.

³ From the thirteenth year of Yoshi Yah the son of Amon sovereign of Yah Hudah, even to this day - the twenty-third year, so be the word of Yah Veh to me, and I worded to you, starting early and wording; and you hearkened not: ⁴ and Yah Veh sent to you all his servants the prophets - starting early and sending them; but you neither hearkened nor spread your ear to hear: ⁵ saying, Turn back, I beseech, every man from his evil way, and from the evil of your exploits, and settle in the soil Yah Veh I gave to you and to your fathers eternally and eternally: ⁶ and go not after other elohim to serve them and to prostrate to them; and vex me not with the works of your hands; and I vilify you not. ⁷ And you hearkened not to me - an oracle of Yah Veh and vexed me with the works of your hands to your own evil.

⁵ to hearken to the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you, starting early and sending, and you hearken not:

² Take a roll of a scroll, and inscribe therein all the words I worded to you against Yisra El and against Yah Hudah and against all the goyim from the day I worded to you - from the days of Yoshi Yah even to this day. ³ Perhaps the house of Yah Hudah hears all the evil I fabricate to work to them; so that every man returns from his evil way and I forgive their perversity and their sin. ⁴ And Yirme Yah calls Baruch the son of Neri Yah: and from the mouth of Yirme Yah Baruch inscribes all the words of Yah Veh, that he words him on a roll of a scroll: ⁵ and Yirme Yah misvahs Baruch, saying, I am restrained; I cannot enter the house of Yah Veh: ⁶ but you enter, and call out in the roll, what you inscribe from my mouth - the words of Yah Veh in the ears of the people in the house of Yah Veh on the day of fasting: and also call them out in the ears of all Yah Hudah who come from their cities: ⁷ perhaps they fell their supplications at the face of Yah Veh so that every man returns from his evil way: for great is the wrath and the fury Yah Veh words against this people. ⁸ And Baruch the son of Neri Yah works according to all Yirme Yah the prophet misvahs him - calling out in the scroll the words of Yah Veh in the house of Yah Veh. ⁹ And so be it in the fifth year of Yah Yaqim the son of Yoshi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, in the ninth month, they call a fast at the face of Yah Veh to all the people in Yeru Shalem, and to all the people coming from the cities of Yah Hudah to Yeru Shalem. ¹⁰ And Baruch calls out in the scroll the words of Yirme Yah in the house of Yah Veh in the chamber of Gemar Yah the son of Shaphan the scribe - in the most high court at the opening of the new portal of the house of Yah Veh - in the ears of all the people.

²³ And so be it, when Yah Hudiy calls out three or four leaves, he rips it with the knife of the scribe and casts it into the fire on the hearth - until all the roll consumes in the fire on the hearth: ²⁴ and they neither fear nor rip their clothes - neither the sovereign nor any of his servants who hear all these words.

⁴ and I sent to you all my servants the prophets, starting early and sending them, saying, I beseech, work not this word of abhorrence that I hate! ⁵ And they neither hearken nor spread their ear to turn from their evil to not incense to other elohim.

¹⁶ The word you worded to us in the name of Yah Veh, we hearkened not to you:

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

¹⁴
THE JUST SON OF THE UNJUST FATHER LIVES
And behold, he births a son, who sees all the sins his father worked who sees, and works not likewise: ¹⁵ who neither eats on the mountains nor lifts his eyes to the idols of the house of Yisra El; nor fouls the woman of his friend; ¹⁶ neither oppresses man nor withholds the pledge; in stripping, strips not; gives his bread to the famished; covers the naked with clothes; ¹⁷ turns his hand to the humble; neither takes usury nor bounty, works my judgments, walks in my statutes: he dies not for the perversity of his father: in living, he lives.

³⁰ So I judge you, O house of Yisra El, every man according to his ways - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. Repent, and turn from all your rebellions; so that perversity becomes not your stumblingblock. 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? ³² For I delight not in the death of the dying - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh and you, turn and live.

¹³ So, in that time, the comprehending keep still; for it is an evil time. ¹⁴ Seek good, and not evil, so that you live: and so be it, as you say, Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth is with you. ¹⁵ Hate the evil and love the good and set judgment in the portal: perhaps Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth grants charism to the survivors of Yoseph.

²⁴ and judgment rolls as waters and justness as a perennial wadi.

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

³ You, say to them, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: You, turn to me, says Yah Veh Sabaoth, and I turn to you - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth.

¹¹ And they refuse to hearken; and give a revolting shoulder and heavy their ears that they hear not. ¹² Yes, they set their hearts as a brier lest they hear the torah and the words Yah Veh Sabaoth sends his spirit by the hand of the former prophets: and so be it, a great rage from Yah Veh Sabaoth. ¹³ and so be it, as he calls, and they hearken not; thus they call, and I hearken not, says Yah Veh Sabaoth:

⁸ So produce fruits worthy of repentance: ⁹ and think not to word within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I word to you, that Elohim is able to raise children to Abraham from these stones: ¹⁰ and also the axe is already laid to the root of the trees: so every tree not producing good fruit is exscinded and cast into the fire.

¹⁹ So repent and restore, to wipe out your sins, when the seasons of refreshing come from the face of Yah Veh.

⁵¹ You hardnaped and noncircumcised in heart and ears, you ever oppose the Holy Spirit. As your fathers, also you. ⁵² Which of the prophets have your fathers not persecuted? And they slaughtered them who pre-evangelized concerning the coming of the Just - of whom you now become traitors and murderers:

²⁰ but evangelized first to them of Dammeseq and at Yeru Shalem and to all the regions of Yah Hudah and to the goyim - to repent and turn to Elohim and transact works worthy of repentance.

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

¹⁸ knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptibles as silver or gold of your vain patriarchal traditions;

¹⁰ the mighty dies and decays; yes, humanity expires - and where is he? ¹¹ The waters gad about from the sea and the flood parches and dries: ¹² thus man lies down and rises not; until the heavens be no more they waken not - waken not from their sleep.

¹⁰ the days of our years, seventy years; and if by might, eighty years; yet their pride is toil and mischief - quickly passed over and we fly away.

⁴ Generation passes and generation comes; and the earth stands eternal:

¹ But all this - I gave in my heart to declare all this: that the just and the wise and their service are in the hand of Elohim; no human knows either love or hatred by all that is at their face. ² All in all; one happening: to the just and to the wicked; to the good and to the pure and to the foul; to him who sacrifices and to him who sacrifices not; as the good, thus the sinner; he who oaths, as he who awes an oath. ³ This is an evil among all worked under the sun, one happening to all; and also, the heart of the sons of humanity is full of evil; and folly in their heart while they live: and after that - unto the dead.

⁵ and they awe the heights with terrors in the way; and the almond tree flourishes; and the locust becomes a burden; and desire breaks down because humanity goes to his eternal house and the choppers turn around the streets:

⁷ and the dust returns to the earth as it was; and the spirit returns to Elohim who gave.

⁵² So the Yah Hudiym say to him, Now we know you have a demon: Abraham is dead - and the prophets; and you word, Whenever anyone guards my word, he never tastes death to the eons.

³⁶ For David indeed, after he tended his own generation by the counsel of Elohim, fell on sleep; and was added to his fathers and saw corruption:

²³ and indeed, they became many priests, because they were forbidden to abide by reason of death. ²⁴ And this one, because he abides to the eons, has an inviolable priesthood.

²⁷ And as it is laid out for humanity to die once and after this the judgment:

² to remember the rhemas foresaid by the holy prophets and the misvah by us the apostles of Adonay and Saviour: ³ knowing this first: that in the final days come mockers walking after their own pantings; ⁴ and wording, Where is the pre-evangelism of his parousia? From since the fathers fell asleep, all continually abides thus as from the beginning of the creation.

¹⁹ El is neither a man, that he lies; nor the son of humanity, that he sighs: Says he ever, and not work? Or words he ever, and it not rise?

²³ And if you work not so, behold, you sin against Yah Veh: and perceive that your sin finds you out.

⁵⁶ and so be it, I work to you as I thought to work to them.

¹⁵
THE CURSINGS OF DISOBEDIENCE And so be it, if you hearken not to the voice of Yah Veh your Elohim - to guard to work all his misvoth and his statutes which I misvah you this day, that all these abasements come on you and overtake you:

²⁰ Yah Veh sends on you cursing, confusion and rebuke, in all you spread your hand to work, until you become desolated and until you suddenly destruct at the face of the evil of your exploits whereby you forsake me.

⁴⁵ And all these abasements come upon you and pursue you and overtake you until you become desolated - because you hearken not to the voice of Yah Veh your Elohim - to guard his misvoth and his statutes which he misvahed you:

¹⁷ And he ascends the sovereign of the Kasdiy on them who slaughters their youths with the sword in the house of their holies: and has no compassion on youth or virgin; old man or aged: he gives them all into his hand: ¹⁸ and all the instruments of the house of Elohim - great and small and the treasures of the house of Yah Veh and the treasures of the sovereign and of his governors - all these he brings to Babel: ¹⁹ and they burn the house of Elohim and pull down the wall of Yeru Shalem and burn all the citadels thereof with fire and ruin all the instruments of desire thereof: ²⁰ and he exiles them who survive the sword to Babel; where they are servants to him and his sons until the reign of the sovereigndom of Persia: ²¹ to fulfill the word of Yah Veh by the mouth of Yirme Yah, until the land is pleased in her shabbaths: all the days she desolates, she shabbathizes to fulfill seventy years.

²⁹ Return, I beseech you, that it not be wickedness; yes, return, my justness is in it.

⁸ For Yeru Shalem falters and Yah Hudah falls: because of their tongue and their exploitations against Yah Veh - to rebel against the eyes of his honor: ⁹ their partiality of face answers against them; and they tell their sin as Sedom - they conceal not. Woe to their soul! for they deal themselves evil. ¹⁰ You, say to the just, It is for good: for they eat the fruit of their exploitations. ¹¹ Woe to the wicked - evil: for the dealing of his hands works to himself.

²⁶ who raises the word of his servant and shalams the counsel of his angels; who says to Yeru Shalem, You, settle! and to the cities of Yah Hudah, You, build! - and I raise the parched areas:

¹ THE OPEN INVITATION OF YAH VEH Ho, every one who thirsts! Come to the waters! And he who has no silver, come, market for kernels, and eat; yes, come, market for kernels, wine and milk - without silver and without price.

⁴ circumcise yourselves to Yah Veh and turn aside the foreskins of your heart, you men of Yah Hudah and settlers of Yeru Shalem: lest my fury comes forth as fire and burns so that no one can quench it at the face of the evil of your exploitations.

¹⁶ And so be it, if they diligently learn the ways of my people, to oath by my name - Yah Veh lives! As they taught my people to oath by Baal; thus are they built midst my people. ¹⁷ And if they hearken not, In uprooting, I uproot and destroy that goyim - an oracle of Yah Veh.

⁸ - if that goyim, against whom I word, turns from their evil, then I sigh of the evil I fabricate to work to them. ⁹ And at that blink, when I word concerning a goyim and concerning a kingdom - to build and to plant; ¹⁰ If it works evil in my eyes, that it hearkens not to my voice, then I sigh of the good wherewith I said I am well-pleased. ¹¹ And now I beseech, speak to the men of Yah Hudah and to the settlers of Yeru Shalem, saying, Thus says Yah Veh; Behold, I form evil against you, and fabricate a fabrication against you: you, return I beseech - every man from his evil way, and well-please in your ways and your exploitations.

²⁰ The wrath of Yah Veh turns not back until he works and until he raises the intrigue of his heart: in the latter days you discern with discernment.

¹⁵ Only in knowing, know this: that if you deathify me you surely give innocent blood on yourselves and on this city and on the settlers: for of a truth Yah Veh sent me to you to word all these words in your ears.

²⁸ Yet a number of men - escapees from the sword return from the land of Misrayim to the land of Yah Hudah; and all the survivors of Yah Hudah who enter the land of Misrayim to sojourn there, know whose words rise - mine or theirs.

¹⁸ Yah Veh is just; for I rebelled against his mouth; hear, I pray you, all people and see my sorrow; my virgins and my young men - gone into captivity.

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

¹¹ Yah Veh accomplishes his fury - pours out his fierce wrath and kindled a fire in Siyon; and it consumes the foundations. ¹² The sovereigns of the earth and all who settle the world, had never trusted for the tribulator and the enemy to enter into the portals of Yeru Shalem.

²⁵ For I - Yah Veh: I word; and the word I word works; it is no more drawn out: for in your days, O rebellious house, I word the word, and work it - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. ²⁶ And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ²⁷ Son of humanity, behold, the house of Yisra El says, The vision he sees is for many days, and he prophesies of the times afar off. ²⁸ So say to them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Not one of my words is drawn out any more: and the word I word works - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

⁴³ and there you remember your ways and all your exploits wherein you fouled; and you loathe yourselves in your own face for all the evils you worked:

¹¹
THE INTERPRETATION
And he says to me, Son of humanity, these bones are the whole house of Yisra El: behold, they say, Our bones withers and our hope destructs: we are cut off for our parts.

⁶ so behold, I hedge your way with thorns, and wall a wall that she not find her paths: ⁷ and she pursues her lovers and overtakes them not; and she seeks them and finds them not. And she says, I go and return to my first man; for it was better with me than at this time. ⁸ - and she knows not that I gave her crop and juice and oil; and abounded her silver and gold which they worked for Baal. ⁹ So I return and take away my crop in time and my juice in season; and rescue my wool and my flax which covers her nakedness. ¹⁰ And now I expose her vulva in the eyes of her lovers, and no man rescues her from my hand. ¹¹ I also shabbathize all her joy - her celebrations, her new moons, and her shabbaths, and all her seasons:

¹⁵ All their evil is in Gilgal; surely, there I hated them: for the evil of their exploits I drive them from my house; I add not to love them: all their governors are revolters.

¹⁰ All the sinners of my people die by the sword, who say, The evil neither approaches nor confronts us.

¹⁸ and you return and see between the just and the wicked, between him who serves Elohim and between him who serves him not.

³⁵ the heavens and earth pass but my words never no way pass:

⁴ And you brothers, are not in darkness, that the day overtake you as a thief.

¹
YAH VEH IS ENRAGED WITH THE FATHERS
In the eighth month, in the second year of Daryavesh, so be the word of Yah Veh to Zechar Yah the son of Berech Yah the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

³ and Elohim comes to Abi Melech in a dream by night and says to him, Behold, you die; for the woman you take is married to a master.

¹³
YERICHO FALLS And so be it, as Yah Shua is by Yericho, he lifts his eyes and sees, and behold, a man standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Yah Shua goes to him, and says to him, Are you for us, or for our tribulators?

⁵ In Gibon Yah Veh is seen by Shelomoh in a dream by night: and Elohim says, Ask what I give you.

¹³ In sentiments from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,

³ Gird your sword on your flank, O mighty, with your glory and your majesty: ⁴ and in your majesty, ride; prosper because of your word of truth and humbleness and justness; that your right teach you awesomenesses.

¹⁶ My beloved is mine and I am his; he tends among the lilies,

²
THE WOMAN
My beloved descends to his garden to the furrows of spices; to tend the gardens and to gleen lilies.

¹⁹ In the wilderness I give the cedar - the shittah tree and the myrtle and the oil tree; in the plain I set the fir tree and the oak and the cedar together:

¹³ Instead of the thorn, the fir tree ascends, and instead of the brier, the myrtle tree ascends: and it becomes to Yah Veh for a name, for an eternal sign, not cut off.

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.

¹
THE DAY OF YAH VEH
Who is this coming from Edom - with dazzling clothes from Bozrah? This who is esteemed in his robe strolling in the greatness of his force? I speaking in justness, great to save. ² Why are you red in your robe and your clothes as treading in the winefat? ³ I tread the press by myself; and of the people, no man is with me: and I tread them in my wrath and trample them in my fury: and I sprinkle their squeezings on my clothes and profane all my robe. ⁴ For the day of avengement is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

¹⁹
DANI EL EXPOSES THE MYSTERY
Then in a night vision the mystery is exposed to Dani El; and Dani El blesses Elah of the heavens:

² Dani El answers and says, I see in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens rush on the great sea:

¹³
DANI EL SEES THE SON/BAR OF MAN
I see in the night visions, and behold, like the Son/Bar of man, comes with the clouds of the heavens, and comes to the Ancient of days, and they approach in front of him:

² In the first chariot, red horses; and in the second chariot, dark horses; ³ and in the third chariot, white horses; and in the fourth chariot, grisled and strong horses. ⁴ And I answer and say to the angel wording with me, What are these, my Adonay? ⁵ And the angel answers and says to me, These are the four spirits/winds of the heavens, coming from standing in front of Adonay of all the earth: ⁶ the dark horses therein go into the north land; and the white go after them; and the grisled go toward the south land: ⁷ and the strong go, and seek to go walking - walking through the earth: and he says, Go! In walking, walk through the earth. - and in walking, they walk through the earth.

⁷ Waken, O sword, against my tender, and against the mighty, my friend - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth: smite the tender, and the flock scatters: and I turn my hand on the belittled.

¹
THE FIRST SCRIBING
To the angel of the ecclesia of Ephesians, scribe: Thus words he who empowers the seven stars in his right; who walks midst the seven golden menorah:

⁴ And another horse goes - fiery: and he sitting thereon is given to take shalom from the earth; and that they slaughter one another: and he is given a mega sword.

¹⁹ And I see the beast and the sovereigns of the earth and their warriors gather together to make war with him sitting on the horse and with his warriors. ²⁰
BEAST AND PSEUDOPROPHET CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE
And the beast is seized; and with him the pseudoprophet who did signs in his sight; in which he seduced them who took the tattoo of the beast and them who worship his icon. These two are cast alive into a lake of fire burning in sulphur. ²¹
THE SLAUGHTER OF THE REST
And the rest are slaughtered at the sabre of him sitting upon the horse, proceeding from his mouth: and all the fowls fill from their flesh.

¹¹ And the angel of Elohim says to me in a dream, Yaaqov! And I say, Here - I!

¹⁶
DANI EL INTERPRETS THE UTTERANCES
I approach one of them who rises, and request of him the certainty of all this: and he says to me and has me know the interpretation of the utterances.

¹⁵
A MIGHTY INTERPRETS THE VISION
And so be it, I - I Dani El see the vision and seek discernment, and behold, there stands in front of me as the visage of a mighty: ¹⁶ and I hear a human voice between Ulai, and he calls and says, Gabri El, this one discerns the vision.

²² and discerns, and words with me, and says, O Dani El, I now come forth to have you comprehend discernment: ²³ at the beginning of your supplications the word came forth, and I come to tell; for you are desired: so discern the word and discern the vision.

¹¹ And he says to me, O Dani El, a man desired, discern the words I word to you, in standing, stand: for I am now sent to you. - and when he words this word to me, I stand trembling. ¹² And he says to me, Awe not, Dani El: for from the first day you gave your heart to discern and to humble yourself at the face of your Elohim, I heard your words; and I come because of your words: ¹³ and the governor of the sovereigndom of Persia stands against me twenty-one days: and behold, Michah El, one of the head governors, comes to help me; and I remain there beside the sovereigns of Persia. ¹⁴ I come so that you discern what befalls your people in the latter days: for the vision is yet for days.

¹⁹ and I say to the angel wording with me, What are these? And he says to me, These are the horns that winnow Yah Hudah, Yisra El, and Yeru Shalem.

³ And behold, the angel wording with me comes; and another angel comes to meet him,

⁴ And I answer and say to the angel wording with me, saying, What are these, my Adonay? ⁵ And the angel wording with me answers and says to me, Know you not what these are? And I say, No, my Adonay.

¹¹ And I answer and say to him, What are these two olives on the right and on the left of the menorah?

⁵ And the angel wording with me comes and says to me, Lift your eyes, and see what this is that goes.

⁴ And I answer and say to the angel wording with me, What are these, my Adonay? ⁵ And the angel answers and says to me, These are the four spirits/winds of the heavens, coming from standing in front of Adonay of all the earth:

¹³ And one of the elders answers, wording to me, Who are these arrayed in white stoles? And whence came they? ¹⁴ And I say to him, Adonay, you know. And he says to me, These are they coming from mega tribulation who flowed their stoles and whitened their stoles in the blood of the Lamb:

¹
THE MEGA WHORE
And one of the seven angels having the seven phials comes and speaks with me, wording to me, Come here! I show you the judgment of the mega whore sitting on many waters: ² with whom the sovereigns of the earth whored; and who settle on the earth who intoxicate from the wine of her whoredom. ³ So he bears me in spirit to the wilderness: and I see a woman sitting on a scarlet beast full of names of blasphemy having seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ And the woman is arrayed in purple and scarlet and gilded with gold and precious stones and pearls; having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and impurity of her whoredom: ⁵ and on her forehead, a name scribed, MYSTERY! BABEL THE MEGA THE MOTHER OF WHORES AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. ⁶ And I see the woman intoxicated from the blood of the holy and from the blood of the witnesses of Yah Shua: and when I see her I marvel a mega marvel. ⁷
THE MYSTERY OF THE WOMAN AND THE BEAST FROM THE SEA
And the angel says to me, Why marvel? I say to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast who bears her - having the seven heads and ten horns.

⁹
THE FOURTH BEATITUDE
And he words to me, Scribe, Blessed - those called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he words to me, These are the true words of Elohim. ¹⁰ - and I fall in front of his feet to worship him. And he words to me, See - not: I am co-servant of you and of your brothers who have the witness of Yah Shua: worship Elohim: for the witness of Yah Shua is the spirit of prophecy.

⁸ And I Yahn see and hear these: and when I hear and see, I fall to worship in front of the feet of the angel who shows me these. ⁹ And he words to me, See - not: for I am your co-servant, and of your brothers the prophets, and of them who guard the words of this scroll: worship Elohim. ¹⁰ And he words to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this scroll: because the season is near. ¹¹ he who injures, still injures: and he who fouls, still fouls: and he who is just, is still justified: and he who is holy, is still hallowed. ¹² And behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me to give to each as to his work. ¹³ I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the completion/shalom, the first and the final. ¹⁴
THE SEVENTH BEATITUDE
Blessed - whoever does his misvoth; that they have authority to the staff of life and enter the city through the gates. ¹⁵ For outside are dogs, and pharmaceutists, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whoever befriends and makes a lie. ¹⁶
EPILOGUE THE FINAL AFFIRMATION OF AUTHOR AND AUTHORSHIP
I Yah Shua sent my angel to you to witness these in the ecclesiae. I AM the root and the genos of David, the radiant and dawning star.

²⁴ And Yaaqov remains alone; and there a man wrestles with him until the ascending of the dawn: ²⁵ and when he sees that he prevails not against him, he touches the hollow of his flank; and the hollow of the flank of Yaaqov dislocates as he wrestles with him: 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 ²⁷ And he says to him, What is your name? And he says, Yaaqov. ²⁸ And he says, Your name is said no more Yaaqov, but Yisra El: for you prevail with Elohim and with men - and prevail. 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. ³⁰ And Yaaqov calls the name of the place Peni El: for I saw Elohim face to face and my soul is rescued. ³¹ And as he passes over Peni El the sun rises on him and he limps on his flank.

⁷ And Yah Veh says to Satan, Whence come you? And Satan answers Yah Veh and says, From flitting to and fro in the earth and from walking forth and back in it.

¹
THE SECOND CHALLENGE OF SATAN
And so be it, the day the sons of Elohim come to station themselves by Yah Veh; and Satan also comes among them to station himself by Yah Veh. ² And Yah Veh says to Satan, Whence come you? And Satan answers Yah Veh and says, From flitting to and fro in the earth and from walking forth and back in it.

²⁰ Bless Yah Veh, you his angels, mighty in force, who work his words, to hearken to the voice of his word: ²¹ bless Yah Veh, all you his hosts; you ministers of his, who work his pleasure:

⁵
FOUR LIVE BEINGS
And from the midst, the likeness of four live beings: and this is their visage; the likeness of a human: ⁶ and to each one four faces and to each one four wings: ⁷ and their feet, straight feet; and the sole of their feet, as the sole of the foot of a calf: and they sparkle as the eye of burnished copper: ⁸ and their hands as of a human under their wings on their four quarters: and they have four faces and wings. ⁹ Their wings join woman to sister; they turn not as they go; each man goes face forward: ¹⁰ as for the likeness of their faces, the four have the face of a human and the face of a lion on the right; and the four have the face of an ox on the left; the four also have the face of an eagle; ¹¹ thus are their faces: and their wings spread upward - two of each man join man to man and two cover their bodies. ¹² And each man goes face forward: wherever the spirit goes, they go; and they turn not as they go. ¹³ As for the likeness of the live beings: their visage is as burning coals of fire and as the visage of flambeaus: going up and down among the live beings: and the fire is brilliant; and from the fire comes lightning: ¹⁴ and the live beings run and return as the visage of a flash.

³ He tripped his brother by the heel in the belly; and by his strength he prevailed with Elohim: ⁴ Yes, he dominated over the angel and prevailed by weeping and was granted charism: he found him in Beth El and there he worded with us; ⁵ even Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth; Yah Veh is his memorial.

⁸ I see by night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse; and he stands among the myrtle trees, in the shade; and behind him, horses - red, bay, and white.

¹¹ And they answer the angel of Yah Veh standing among the myrtle trees, and say, We walk to and fro through the earth, and behold, all the earth settles and rests.

¹⁰ For who disrespects the day of the lesser? they cheer, and see the tin weight in the hand of Zerub Babel: these seven are the eyes of Yah Veh flitting through the whole earth.

⁵ And the angel answers and says to me, These are the four spirits/winds of the heavens, coming from standing in front of Adonay of all the earth: ⁶ the dark horses therein go into the north land; and the white go after them; and the grisled go toward the south land: ⁷ and the strong go, and seek to go walking - walking through the earth: and he says, Go! In walking, walk through the earth. - and in walking, they walk through the earth. ⁸ And he cries on me, and words to me, saying, See, these going toward the north land rest my spirit in the north land.

¹⁴ Are they not indeed all liturgizing spirits apostolized to minister for them who inherit salvation?

¹⁷ The chariots of Elohim are two myriads - thousands of reinforcements; Adonay is among them in the holies, as in Sinay.

⁷ At rest - the whole earth rests; they break forth into shouting:

²⁰ And he says, Know you why I come to you? And now I return to fight with the governor of Persia: and when I go, behold, the governor of Yavan comes:

¹⁰ And the man standing among the myrtle trees answers and says, These are they whom Yah Veh sends to walk to and fro through the earth.

¹⁵ and in my enraging, I enrage greatly with the goyim who relax: for I was but a little enraged, and they helped for evil.

⁷ and the strong go, and seek to go walking - walking through the earth: and he says, Go! In walking, walk through the earth. - and in walking, they walk through the earth.

⁴¹ The Son of humanity apostolizes his angels, and from his sovereigndom they gather all who scandalize and who violate the torah;

⁴⁹
THE COMPLETION/SHALOM OF THE EON
So be it at the completion/shalom of the eon: the angels come and set the evil apart from among the just

³⁰
THE PAROUSIA
And then the sign of the Son of humanity manifests in the heavens: and then all the scions of the earth chop: and they see the Son of humanity coming in the clouds of the heavens with dynamis and vast glory: ³¹ and he apostolizes his angels with a mega voice of a trumpet: and they gather together his select from the four winds - from the extremities of the heavens to their extremities.

³¹
YAH SHUA TESTS THE GOYIM
Whenever the Son of humanity comes in his glory - with all the holy angels, then he sits on the throne of his glory:

³ For whenever they word, Shalom and security; then unexpected ruin stands over them - exactly as travail upon a woman having in womb; and they never no way escape.

⁷ and you who are tribulated, to relax with us, in the apocalypse of Adonay Yah Shua of the heavens, with his angels of dynamis,

¹
PROLOGUE
The Apocalypse of Yah Shua Messiah, that Elohim gave him to show his servants what must quickly become; and he apostolized and signified it through his angel to his servant Yahn:

²⁰
THE ANGEL OF YAH VEH
Behold, I send an angel at your face to guard you in the way; and to bring you to the place I prepared. ²¹ Guard at his face and hear his voice, embitter him not; for he bears not your rebellions: for my name is in him. ²² But if in hearing, you hear his voice, and work all I word; then I become an enemy to your enemies and besiege them who tribulate you. ²³ For my angel goes at your face and brings you to the Emoriy and the Hethiy and the Perizziy and the Kenaaniy the Hivviy and the Yebusiy: and I cut them off.

²¹ to fulfill the word of Yah Veh by the mouth of Yirme Yah, until the land is pleased in her shabbaths: all the days she desolates, she shabbathizes to fulfill seventy years.

⁵ O Elohim, you know my folly; and my guiltinesses are not concealed from you.

¹⁰ O Elohim, until when reproaches the tribulator? - the enemy scorn your name in perpetuity?

¹³ You - you rise; you mercy Siyon; for the time to grant her charism - yes, the season has come.

⁹ In all their tribulation, he tribulates not; and the angel of his face saves them: in his love and in his compassion he redeemed them and he bore them - bore them all the days of antiquity.

⁹ Neither enrage not mightily, O Yah Veh, nor remember our perversity eternally: behold, look, we beseech you, - your people - all of us. ¹⁰ Your holy cities are a wilderness: Siyon is a wilderness; Yeru Shalem a desolation: ¹¹ our holies of adornment where our fathers halaled you, are burned with fire: and all our desirables are parched. ¹² Refrain you yourself for these, O Yah Veh? You hush, and humble us mightily.

¹¹ and this whole land becomes a parched area and a desolation; and these goyim serve the sovereign of Babel seventy years: ¹² and so be it, when seventy years fulfill, I visit on the sovereign of Babel and that goyim - an oracle of Yah Veh for their perversity - and the land of the Kesediym and set it eternal desolations:

¹⁰ For thus says Yah Veh: According to my mouth, when seventy years are fulfilled at Babel, I visit you and raise my good word toward you and return you to to this place.

² in the first year of his reign I Dani El discern by scrolls the number of the years the word of Yah Veh was to Yirme Yah the prophet, concerning fulfilling the parched areas of Yeru Shalem - seventy years.

¹⁰ And the man standing among the myrtle trees answers and says, These are they whom Yah Veh sends to walk to and fro through the earth. ¹¹ And they answer the angel of Yah Veh standing among the myrtle trees, and say, We walk to and fro through the earth, and behold, all the earth settles and rests.

⁵ Speak to all the people of the land and to the priests, saying, When you fasted and chopped in the fifth and seventh - even these seventy years, in fasting, fasted you to me - me?

²⁵ So he is also able to save them to completion/shalom who come to Elohim through him - ever living to intercede for them.

¹⁰ And they cry with a mega voice, wording, Until when, O Despotes, the holy and the true, judge you not, and avenge our blood from them who settle on the earth?

¹
THE SIGH OF ELOHIM
You, sigh - sigh over my people, says your Elohim. ² Word to the heart of Yeru Shalem and call out to her that her hostility is fulfilled - that her perversity is satisfied: for she takes double of the hand of Yah Veh for all her sins.

¹⁰ And you, neither awe, O my servant Yaaqov - an oracle of Yah Veh; nor dismay, O Yisra El: for behold, I am your saviour from afar and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Yaaqov returns and rests and relaxes and no one trembles him. ¹¹ For I am with you - an oracle of Yah Veh to save you: though I work a final finish of all goyim where I scattered you, yet I not work a final finish of you: and I discipline you in judgment, and in exonerating, I exonerate you not. ¹² For thus says Yah Veh: Your breech is incurable and your wound is worn: ¹³ - no one pleads your cause - bandages you, no bandage healers. ¹⁴ All your lovers forget you; they seek you not: for I smite you with the wound of an enemy; with the chastisement of a cruel one; for the abundance of your perversity; your sins are mighty. ¹⁵ Why cry for your breech? your sorrow is incurable for the abundance of your perversity: your sins are mighty, I worked these to you. ¹⁶ So all who consume you are consumed; and all your tribulators - every one of them go into captivity; and they who plunder you, are plundered; and all who plunder you, I give for a plunder: ¹⁷ for I ascend health to you and I heal you of your wounds - an oracle of Yah Veh because they called you, Expelled - Siyon, whom no man seeks after. ¹⁸ Thus says Yah Veh: Behold, I restore the captivity of the tents of Yaaqov and mercy his tabernacles; and build the city on her own heap, and settle the citadel according to the judgment. ¹⁹ And spread hands proceed from them and the voice of them who ridicule: and I abound them and they diminish not; I honor them, and they are not belittled: ²⁰ and his sons become as formerly and their witness establish at my face: and I visit on all who oppress them. ²¹ And their mighty become from themselves, and their sovereign proceeds from their midst: and I have him approach; and he approaches to me: for who is this who pleases his heart to approach to me? - an oracle of Yah Veh. ²² And you are my people, and I am your Elohim.

³ Yah Veh is seen by me in the distance, Yes, I love you with an eternal love: so with lovingkindness I draw you: ⁴ in building, I build you again, O virgin of Yisra El: adorn you again with your tambourines and you come forth in the round dancing of entertainers: ⁵ again, you plant vines on the mountains of Shomeron: the planters plant and profane. ⁶ For there is a day, that the guards call out on the mount Ephrayim, Rise, and we ascend to Siyon to Yah Veh our Elohim. ⁷ For thus says Yah Veh: Shout with cheerfulness for Yaaqov and resound among the chief of the goyim: hearken, praise, and say, O Yah Veh, save your people, the survivors of Yisra El. ⁸ Behold, I bring them from the north land, and gather them from the flanks of the land; the blind and the lame the woman with child and she who births together among them: a great congregation returns there: 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. ¹⁰ Hear the word of Yah Veh, O you goyim! And tell it in the islands afar off, and say, He who winnows Yisra El gathers him and guards him as a tender to his drove. ¹¹ For Yah Veh redeems Yaaqov - redeems him from the hand stronger than his: ¹² and they come and shout in the height of Siyon; and flow together to the goodness of Yah Veh for crop and for juice and for oil and for the sons of the flock and of the herd: and their soul becomes as a saturated garden; and they add not to languish. ¹³ Then the virgin cheers in the round dancing - both youths and elders together for I turn their mourning into rejoicing, and sigh over them and cheer them from their grief: ¹⁴ and I satiate the soul of the priests with fatness and satisfy my people with my goodness - an oracle of Yah Veh.

¹¹
THE RESTORATION OF YISRA EL
In that day I raise the fallen sukkoth/brush arbor of David and wall the breaches; and I raise his ruins and I build it as in the original days: ¹² so that they possess the survivors of Edom and of all the goyim on whom my name is called - an oracle of Yah Veh who works this. ¹³ Behold, days come, - an oracle of Yah Veh that the plower approaches the harvester and the treader of grapes the drawer of seed; and the mountains drip squeezed juice and all the hills melt: ¹⁴ and I restore the captivity of my people of Yisra El: and they build the desolated cities and settle them; and they plant vineyards and drink the wine; and work gardens and eat their fruit: ¹⁵ and I plant them on their soil - no more uprooted from the soil I give them, says Yah Veh your Elohim.

¹⁴ Sing, O daughter of Siyon! Shout, O Yisra El! Cheer and jump for joy with all the heart, O daughter of Yeru Shalem! ¹⁵ Yah Veh turns aside your judgments; he faces your enemy: the sovereign of Yisra El, Yah Veh, is midst you: you see no evil any more. ¹⁶ In that day they say to Yeru Shalem, Awe not! Siyon, slacken not your hands! ¹⁷ Yah Veh your Elohim midst you is mighty; he saves; he rejoices over you with cheerfulness; he hushes in his love; he twirls over you with shouting. ¹⁸ I gather the grieved from the congregation who became from you; whose reproach was a burden. ¹⁹ Behold, at that time, I work all who humble you: and I save her who limps, and gather her who was expelled; and I set them for a halal and a name in every land of their shame. ²⁰ At that time, I bring you, even in the time I gather you: for I give you a name and a halal among all people of the earth, when I restore your captivity in front of your eyes, says Yah Veh.

⁹ And I say, O my adoni, what are these? And the angel wording with me says to me, I - I have you see what these are.

¹⁴ And the angel wording with me says to me, Call out, saying, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: I am jealous/zealous for Yeru Shalem and for Siyon with a great jealousy/zeal: ¹⁵ and in my enraging, I enrage greatly with the goyim who relax: for I was but a little enraged, and they helped for evil. ¹⁶ So thus says Yah Veh: I return to Yeru Shalem with mercies: build my house therein - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth and spread a line on Yeru Shalem:

⁴ and says to him, Run! Word to yonder lad, saying, Yeru Shalem settles the suburbs because of the abundance of humanity and animals midst her: ⁵ and I - an oracle of Yah Veh - I am to her a wall of fire all around, and I am for honor midst her. ⁶ Ho, ho, and flee from the land of the north - an oracle of Yah Veh for I spread you as the four winds of the heavens - an oracle of Yah Veh. ⁷ Rescue yourself, Ho, Siyon, who settles with the daughter of Babel. ⁸ For thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: After the honor he sends me to the goyim who spoiled you: for he who touches you touches the pupil of his eye. ⁹ For, behold, I shake my hand on them, and they become a spoil to their servants: and you know that Yah Veh Sabaoth sent me. ¹⁰ Shout and cheer, O daughter of Siyon: for behold, I come and I tabernacle among you - an oracle of Yah Veh. ¹¹ And many goyim join Yah Veh in that day, and become my people: and I dwell midst you; and you know that Yah Veh Sabaoth sent me to you: ¹² And Yah Veh inherits Yah Hudah, his allotment on the holy soil, and again chooses Yeru Shalem.

¹
THE GOLDEN MENORAH AND THE TWO OLIVES
And the angel wording with me returns and wakens me - as a man wakens from his sleep:

² Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: I am jealous/zealous for Siyon with great jealousy/zeal and I am jealous/zealous for her with great fury. ³ Thus says Yah Veh: I return to Siyon, and tabernacle midst Yeru Shalem: and call Yeru Shalem, The City of Truth; and the mountain of Yah Veh Sabaoth, The Holy Mountain. ⁴ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: and eldermen and elderwomen still settle there in the broadways of Yeru Shalem; and every man with his crutch in his hand because of abundance of days: ⁵ and the broadways of the city fill with boys and girls playing in the broadways. ⁶ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: If it is marvellous in the eyes of the survivors of this people in these days, is it not also marvellous in my eyes? - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth. ⁷ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: Behold, I am the saviour of my people from the land of the rising and from the land of the entrance of the sun: ⁸ and I bring them, and they tabernacle midst Yeru Shalem: and they become my people, and I am their Elohim in truth and in justness.

¹⁹ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: The fast of the fourth and the fast of the fifth and the fast of the seventh and the fast of the tenth are for rejoicing and cheerfulness and good seasons; to the house of Yah Hudah: so love truth and shalom.

⁷ Of the increase of his dominion and shalom there is no end, on the throne of David and on his sovereigndom; to establish and to support with judgment and with justness from henceforth - even eternally. The zeal of Yah Veh Sabaoth works this.

²² And Yechizqi Yah says, What is the sign that I ascend to the house of Yah Veh?

¹
THE SIGH OF ELOHIM
You, sigh - sigh over my people, says your Elohim.

⁶ A voice says, Call. And he says, What call I? All flesh is grass and all the mercy as the blossom of the field:

¹³ Yah Veh goes forth as mighty; he wakens jealousy as a man of war: he shouts! Yes, whoops! He prevails mightily against his enemies.

¹⁷ and he enrobes justness as a habergeon and an helmet of salvation on his head; and for robes, he enrobes the clothes of avengement and covers with zeal as a mantle.

¹⁵ Look down from the heavens, and see from the residence of your holiness and of your adornment. Where is your zeal and your might? - the roar of your inwards and of your mercies toward me? Are they restrained?

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

¹⁸ And Yah Veh is jealous for his land and compassions his people:

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

¹³ And Yah Veh answers the angel who is wording with me with words of good and words of solaces.

¹⁷ call out, saying, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: My cities scatter through good; and Yah Veh still sighs over Siyon, and still chooses Yeru Shalem.

³ And behold, the angel wording with me comes; and another angel comes to meet him, ⁴ and says to him, Run! Word to yonder lad, saying, Yeru Shalem settles the suburbs because of the abundance of humanity and animals midst her:

² Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: I am jealous/zealous for Siyon with great jealousy/zeal and I am jealous/zealous for her with great fury. ³ Thus says Yah Veh: I return to Siyon, and tabernacle midst Yeru Shalem: and call Yeru Shalem, The City of Truth; and the mountain of Yah Veh Sabaoth, The Holy Mountain.

²⁶ For they pursue whom you smite; and they scribe to the sorrow of your pierced.

² For, behold, your enemies roar; they who hate you lift their head; ³ they strategize private counsel against your people; and counsel against your treasured ones. ⁴ They say, Come; and we cut them off from the goyim; that the name of Yisra El be no more remembered. ⁵ For they counseled together with one heart; they cut a covenant against you

⁴ our soul abundantly satiates with the derision of them who relax - with the disrespect of the pompous.

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

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

⁶ I enrage over my people; I profane my inheritance; and give them into your hand: you set them no mercies; you make your yoke on the aged mighty heavy. ⁷ And you say, I am a lady eternally: so that you neither set these to your heart nor rememer the latter end thereof. ⁸ And now hear this, you voluptuous one, who settles confidently; who says in your heart, I - final; I neither sit a widow, nor know bereavement. ⁹ And these two come to you in a blink in one day - bereavement and widowhood: they come on you in their integrity for the abundance of your sorceries, and for the mighty might of your charms:

⁸ in an outburst of rage I hid my face from you for a blink; and in eternal mercy I mercy you, says Yah Veh your Redeemer.

¹¹ Moab relaxes from his youth and rests on his dregs - neither poured out from instrument to instrument nor gone into exile: so his taste stands within him and his scent changes not. ¹² So behold, days come, - an oracle of Yah Veh that I send him strollers who have him stroll, and pour his instruments and shatter his bags. ¹³ And Moab shames because of Kemosh, as the house of Yisra El shamed of Beth El their confidence.

²⁴ and I shalam to Babel and to all the settlers of Kesediym all the evil they worked in Siyon in your eyes - an oracle of Yah Veh.

³⁴ Nebukadnets Tsar the sovereign of Babel devours us; crushes us: he sets me an empty instrument; he swallows me up as a monster; he fills his belly with my pleasures; he thrusts me away. ³⁵ My violence, and that of my flesh is on Babel, say the settlers of Siyon; and my blood on the settlers of Kesediym, says Yeru Shalem.

³ and say to the sons of Ammon, Hear the word of Adonay Yah Veh; Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you say, Aha! against my holies, when it profanes; and against the soil of Yisra El, when it desolates; and against the house of Yah Hudah, when they go into exile; ⁴ behold, so I give you to the sons of the east for a possession; and they set their walls in you and give their tabernacles in you: they eat your fruit and they drink your milk: ⁵ and I give Rabbah as a habitation of rest for camels and the sons of Ammon as a place of rest for flocks: and you know I - Yah Veh. ⁶ For thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you clap the hand, and stamp the foot, and cheer in soul with all your despite against the soil of Yisra El; ⁷ behold, so I spread my hand on you and give you for plunder to the goyim; and I cut you off from the people, and I destroy you from the countries: I desolate you; and you know I - Yah Veh. ⁸
THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING MOAB AND SEIR
Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because of the saying of Moab and Seir, Behold, Yah Hudah is as all the goyim; ⁹ so, behold, I open the shoulder of Moab from the cities - from his cities on his edges, the splendor of the country - Beth Ha Yeshimoth, Baal Meon and Qiryathaim;

¹²
THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING EDOM
Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because Edom works against the house of Yah Hudah by avenging avengement, and in guilting, guilts, and avenges himself on them; ¹³ so thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I also spread my hand on Edom and cut off humanity and animal from it: and I give it parched from Teman; and they of Dedan fall by the sword: ¹⁴ and I give my avengement on Edom by the hand of my people Yisra El: and they work in Edom according to my wrath and according to my fury; and they know my avengement - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. ¹⁵
THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING THE PELESHETHIYM
Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because the Peleshethiym work avengement; and avenge with a despiteful soul to ruin the eternal enmity; ¹⁶ so thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Behold, I spread my hand on the Peleshethiym and I cut off the Kerethiym and destroy the survivors of the sea haven. ¹⁷ And I work on them avengements with reproofs of fury; and they know I - Yah Veh, when I give my avengement on them.

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

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

⁴ so, O mountains of Yisra El, hear the word of Adonay Yah Veh; Thus says Adonay Yah Veh to the mountains and to the hills; to the reservoirs and to the valleys; to the desolated parches and to the forsaken cities - to become a plunder and derision to the survivors of the goyim all around; ⁵ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Surely in the fire of my jealousy I word against the survivors of the goyim and against all Edom, who give my land as their own possession with cheerfulness of all their heart, with despite of soul - a suburb to plunder.

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: ⁴ and I send a fire to the house of Haza El to consume the citadels of Ben Hadad: ⁵ and I break the bar of Dammeseq and cut off the settler from the valley of Aven; and he who upholds the sceptre from the house of Eden: and exile the people of Aram to Qir, says Yah Veh. 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: ⁷ and I send a fire on the wall of Azzah to consume the citadels: ⁸ and I cut off the settler from Ashdod and he who upholds the scion from Ashkelon; and I turn my hand against Eqron: and destroy the survivors of the Peleshethiym, says Adonay Yah Veh. 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: ¹⁰ and I send a fire on the wall of Sor, to consume the citadels. 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: ¹² and I send a fire on Teman, to consume the citadels of Bozrah. 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
HO TO THEM WHO RELAX IN SIYON
Ho to them who relax in Siyon and confide in the mountain of Shomeron - the appointed firstlings of the goyim to whom the house of Yisra El comes!

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

² In enraging, Yah Veh enraged over your fathers.

⁶ for Yah Veh disciplines whom he loves and scourges every son he receives. ^{Proverbs 3:11, 12 7} If you endure discipline, Elohim offers you as with sons; for what son is there whom the father disciplines not?

⁷ as much as she glorifies herself and luxuriates so much torture and mourning give her: because she words in her heart, I sit a sovereigness and am no widow and never no way see mourning. ⁸ For this her plagues come in one day - death and mourning and famine; and she utterly burns in fire: because mighty is Yah Veh Elohim who judges her.

⁵ who set the measurements, if you know? Who stretched the line thereon?

¹
A PSALM OF SPREAD HANDS
And in that day you say, O Yah Veh, I spread hands to you: though you were angry with me, you turn away your wrath and you sigh over me.

¹¹ And the pelican and the bittern possess it; and the owl and the raven tabernacle therein: and thereon, he spreads the line of waste, and the stones of emptiness.

²⁶ who raises the word of his servant and shalams the counsel of his angels; who says to Yeru Shalem, You, settle! and to the cities of Yah Hudah, You, build! - and I raise the parched areas: ²⁷ who says to the abyss, Parch! - and I wither your rivers: ²⁸ who says of Koresh my tender, who shalams all my delight: even saying to Yeru Shalem, You, Build! and to the manse, You, Found! ^{\super *}. ^{*found: as in founding a foundation.}

⁸ in an outburst of rage I hid my face from you for a blink; and in eternal mercy I mercy you, says Yah Veh your Redeemer. ⁹ For this is as the waters of Noach to me: in that I oathed that the waters of Noach pass no more over the earth; thus I oathed that I neither enrage over you nor rebuke you. ¹⁰ For the mountains depart and the hills topple; but neither my mercy departs from you, nor the covenant of my shalom topple, says Yah Veh who mercies you.

²² How long go you about, O you apostate daughter? for Yah Veh creates newness in the earth; a female surrounds the mighty. ²³ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El: They still say this word in the land of Yah Hudah and in the cities, when I restore their captivity; Yah Veh bless you, O habitation of rest of justness, mountain of holiness. ²⁴ And settling in Yah Hudah and in all the cities together are cultivators and they who go forth with droves. ²⁵ For I satiate the languid soul, and I fill full every languishing soul.

³⁹ and the measuring line goes forth in front of it to the hill Gareb; and surrounds Goah. ⁴⁰ And the whole valley of the carcases and of the fat and all the fields to the wadi of Qidron to the corner of the horse portal toward the rising are holy to Yah Veh - neither uprooted nor thrown down any more eternally.

¹⁰ Thus says Yah Veh: Again it is heard in this place, which you say is parched dry without humanity and without animal - in the cities of Yah Hudah and in the outways of Yeru Shalem that are desolated - without humanity and without settler and without animal, ¹¹ The voice of rejoicing and the voice of cheerfulness; the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; the voice of them who say, Spread hands to Yah Veh Sabaoth: for Yah Veh is good; for his mercy is eternal: - who bring spread hands to the house of Yah Veh. For I restore the captivity of the land as at the first, says Yah Veh. ¹² Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth; Again in this place, which is parched dry without humanity and without animal, and in all the cities, a habitation of rest of tenders whose flocks crouch.

²⁴
THE SOVEREIGNDOM OF DAVID
And David my servant is sovereign over them; and their is one tender: and they walk in my judgments and guard my statutes and work them: ²⁵ and they dwell in the land I gave to Yaaqov my servant, wherein your fathers settled: and they settle therein - they and their sons, and the sons of their sons eternally: and my servant David is their hierarch eternally. ²⁶
THE ETERNAL COVENANT OF YAH VEH
And I cut a covenant of shalom with them - so be it, an eternal covenant with them: and I give them and abound them; and give my holies among them eternally. ²⁷ My tabernacle also is with them: yes, I am their Elohim and they become my people: ²⁸ and the goyim know that I Yah Veh hallow Yisra El, when my holies is among them eternally.

²⁵
YAH VEH MERCIES YISRA EL
So, thus says Adonay Yah Veh; Now I restore the captivity of Yaaqov and mercy the whole house of Yisra El and am jealous for my holy name; ²⁶ after they bear their shame for all the treasons they treason against me; when they settle confidently in their soil and no one trembles them. ²⁷ When I restore them from the people and gather them from the lands of their enemies and am hallowed in them in the eyes of many goyim ²⁸ - and they know I - Yah Veh their Elohim, who exiled them among the goyim: and I gather them to their own soil, so that none of them remain there any more: ²⁹ and I hide not my face from them any more: for I pour my spirit on the house of Yisra El - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

³ And he brings me there, and behold, a man with a visage as the visage of copper with a line of flax in his hand and a measuring stalk; and he stands in the portal

³
THE WATERS MEASURED
And the man with the line in his hand goes eastward and he measures a thousand cubits; and he passes me through water - water to the ankles:

³⁵ - eighteen thousand all around. And the name of the city from that day on, Yah Veh Sham.

¹⁴ And Yah Veh wakens the spirit of Zerub Babel the son of Shealti El governor of Yah Hudah, and the spirit of Yah Shua the son of Yah Sadaq the great priest, and the spirit of all the survivors of the people; and they come and work the work in the house of Yah Veh Sabaoth their Elohim

¹
THE MAN WITH THE MEASURING LINE
And I lift my eyes, and see: and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand: ² and I say, Where go you? And he says to me, To measure Yeru Shalem, to see what the breadth and what the length are.

¹⁰ Shout and cheer, O daughter of Siyon: for behold, I come and I tabernacle among you - an oracle of Yah Veh. ¹¹ And many goyim join Yah Veh in that day, and become my people: and I dwell midst you; and you know that Yah Veh Sabaoth sent me to you:

⁹ The hands of Zerub Babel founded this house; and his hands clip; and you know Yah Veh Sabaoth sent me to you.

³ Thus says Yah Veh: I return to Siyon, and tabernacle midst Yeru Shalem: and call Yeru Shalem, The City of Truth; and the mountain of Yah Veh Sabaoth, The Holy Mountain.

⁶ and I choose Yeru Shalem, for my name to be there; and choose David to be over my people Yisra El.

³ And these are the heads of the jurisdiction who settle in Yeru Shalem: and in the cities of Yah Hudah each man settles in his possession in their cities - Yisra El, the priests and the Leviym and the Dedicates and the sons of the servants of Shelomoh.

²⁰
THE SETTLERS OF THE CITIES OF YAH HUDAH
And the survivors of Yisra El of the priests and the Leviym, are in all the cities of Yah Hudah - each man in his inheritance;

³⁵ For Elohim saves Siyon and builds the cities of Yah Hudah; for them to settle there and possess.

¹³ For Yah Veh chose Siyon; he desires it for his settlement: ¹⁴ this is my rest eternally; here I settle; for I desire it.

¹
YAH VEH MERCIES YAAQOV
Because Yah Veh mercies Yaaqov, and yet chooses Yisra El, and sets them in their own soil: and the sojourners join with them and scrape them to the house of Yaaqov:

⁸ And you, Yisra El - my servant, Yaaqov whom I chose, the seed of Abraham my beloved, ⁹ whom I strengthened from the ends of the earth and called you from the nobles, and I said to you, You are my servant; I chose you and spurned you not:

¹³ Shout, O heavens! And twirl, O earth! And break forth into shouting, O mountains! For Yah Veh sighs over his people and mercies his humbled.

³ For Yah Veh sighs over Siyon: he sighs over all her parched areas; and he sets her wilderness as Eden and her plain as the garden of Yah Veh; rejoicing, yes, and cheerfulness are found therein - spread hands and the voice of psalm.

¹² I - I - he who sighs over you. Who are you to awe a man who dies? and, of the son of humanity, given as grass?

⁹ Break forth in joy! Shout together, you parched areas of Yeru Shalem! For Yah Veh sighs over his people; he redeems Yeru Shalem:

⁴ And they build the original parched areas; they raise the former desolated areas; and they renovate the parched cities - the desolated areas of generation and generation. ⁵ And strangers stand and tend your flocks, and the sons of the stranger are your cultivators and your vinedressers: ⁶ and you are called, Priests of Yah Veh: of you is said, The Ministers of Our Elohim: you consume the valuables of the goyim and exchange their honor:

¹³ As man over whom his mother sighs, thus sigh I over you; yes, sigh over you in Yeru Shalem.

¹³ Then the virgin cheers in the round dancing - both youths and elders together for I turn their mourning into rejoicing, and sigh over them and cheer them from their grief:

²³ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El: They still say this word in the land of Yah Hudah and in the cities, when I restore their captivity; Yah Veh bless you, O habitation of rest of justness, mountain of holiness. ²⁴ And settling in Yah Hudah and in all the cities together are cultivators and they who go forth with droves.

⁴³ And chattel the fields in this land, whereof you said, Desolate! Without humanity or animal! - it is given into the hand of the Kesediym. ⁴⁴ Men chattel fields for silver and inscribe scrolls and seal them; and witnesses witness in the land of Ben Yamin and all around Yeru Shalem and in the cities of Yah Hudah and in the cities of the mountains and in the cities of the lowland and in the cities of the south: and I restore their captivity - an oracle of Yah Veh.

¹³ In the cities of the mountains in the cities of the lowland and in the cities of the south and in the land of Ben Yamin and in the places all around Yeru Shalem and in the cities of Yah Hudah, the flocks pass again under the hands of him who tells them, says Yah Veh.

¹⁰ and I abound humanity on you - all the house of Yisra El - all thereof to settle the cities and build the parched areas: ¹¹ and I abound on you humanity and animal; and they abound and bear fruit: and I settle you after your former estates and do better to you than at your beginnings: and you know I - Yah Veh.

³³ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: In the day I purify you from all your perversities I also settle you in the cities, and build the parched areas:

¹⁴ and I restore the captivity of my people of Yisra El: and they build the desolated cities and settle them; and they plant vineyards and drink the wine; and work gardens and eat their fruit:

²⁰ and the exiles of the valiant of the sons of Yisra El, the Kenaaniym to Sarephath; and the exiles of Yeru Shalem in Sepharad, possess the cities of the south.

¹⁵ Yah Veh turns aside your judgments; he faces your enemy: the sovereign of Yisra El, Yah Veh, is midst you: you see no evil any more. ¹⁶ In that day they say to Yeru Shalem, Awe not! Siyon, slacken not your hands! ¹⁷ Yah Veh your Elohim midst you is mighty; he saves; he rejoices over you with cheerfulness; he hushes in his love; he twirls over you with shouting.

¹² And Yah Veh inherits Yah Hudah, his allotment on the holy soil, and again chooses Yeru Shalem.

² And Yah Veh says to Satan, Yah Veh rebuke you, O Satan; Yah Veh who chooses Yeru Shalem rebukes you: Is not this a brand rescued from the fire?

²⁸ Indeed, as concerning the evangelism, enemies for your sakes: but as touching the selection, beloved for the sakes of the fathers. ²⁹ For the charismata and calling of Elohim are irrevocable.

⁴ exactly as he selected us in him ere the foundation of the cosmos, to be holy and unblemished in his sight in love:

²⁹ In the days of Peqach sovereign of Yisra El Tilgath Pileser sovereign of Ashshur comes and takes Iyon and Abel Beth Maachah and Yanochah and Qedesh and Hasor and Gilad and Galiyl - all the land of Naphtali and exiles them to Ashshur.

¹
HOSHEA REIGNS OVER YISRA EL
In the twelfth year of Achaz sovereign of Yah Hudah Hoshea the son of Elah begins to reign in Shomeron over Yisra El nine years: ² and he works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh; but not as the sovereigns of Yisra El at his face. ³ Shalmaneser sovereign of Ashshur ascends against him; and Hoshea becomes his servant and returns him offerings: ⁴ and the sovereign of Ashshur finds conspiracy in Hoshea: for he sends angels to So the sovereign of Misrayim and holocausts no offering to the sovereign of Ashshur as year by year: and the sovereign of Ashshur restrains him and binds him in the house of prison: ⁵ and the sovereign of Ashshur ascends to all the land and ascends to Shomeron and besieges it three years. ⁶
YISRA EL EXILED
In the ninth year of Hoshea the sovereign of Ashshur captures Shomeron and exiles Yisra El to Ashshur; and sets them in Halach and in Habor by the river Gozan and in the cities of the Madaim.

⁹ And so be it, in the fourth year of sovereign Yechizqi Yah - the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah sovereign of Yisra El, Shalmaneser sovereign of Ashshur ascends against Shomeron and besieges it: ¹⁰ and at the end of three years they capture it: in the sixth year of Yechizqi Yah - in the ninth year of Hoshea sovereign of Yisra El Shomeron is captured: ¹¹ and the sovereign of Ashshur exiles Yisra El to Ashshur; and guides them in Halach and in Habor by the river Gozan; and in the cities of the Madaim: ¹² because they hearken not to the voice of Yah Veh their Elohim; but trespass his covenant; and all that Mosheh the servant of Yah Veh misvahed they neither hearken nor work them.

¹ In his days Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel ascends, and Yah Yaqim becomes his servant three years: and he turns and rebels against him: ² and against him, Yah Veh sends troops of the Kasdiy and troops of the Aramiy and troops of the Moabiy, and troops of the sons of Ammon; and he sends them against Yah Hudah to destroy it according to the word Yah Veh worded by the hand of his servants the prophets: ³ only, this became against Yah Hudah by the mouth of Yah Veh - to turn them from his face for the sins of Menash Sheh according to all he worked; ⁴ and also for the innocent blood he poured: for he filled Yeru Shalem with innocent blood; which Yah Veh willed to not forgive. ⁵ And the rest of the words of Yah Yaqim, and all he worked, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah? ⁶ And Yah Yaqim lies down with his fathers: and Yah Yachin his son reigns in his stead. ⁷ And the sovereign of Misrayim adds not to go from his land any more: for the sovereign of Babel took all that pertained to the sovereign of Misrayim - from the wadi of Misrayim to the river Euphrates. ⁸
YAH YACHIN REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM
Yah Yachin is a son of eighteen years when he begins to reign; and he reigns in Yeru Shalem three months: and the name of his mother, Nechushta the daughter of El Nathan of Yeru Shalem. ⁹ And he works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh according to all his father worked. ¹⁰ At that time the servants of Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel ascend against Yeru Shalem and besiege the city: ¹¹ and Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel comes against the city and his servants besiege it: ¹² and Yah Yachin the sovereign of Yah Hudah goes to the sovereign of Babel - he and his mother and his servants and his governors and his eunuchs: and the sovereign of Babel takes him in the eighth year of his reign: ¹³ and from there he brings all the treasures of the house of Yah Veh and the treasures of the house of the sovereign; and chops all the instruments of gold Shelomoh sovereign of Yisra El worked in the manse of Yah Veh as Yah Veh worded. ¹⁴ And he exiles all Yeru Shalem and all the governors and all the mighty of valour - ten thousand exiles and all the artificers and locksmiths - none survive except the poorest sort of the people of the land. ¹⁵ And he exiles Yah Yachin to Babel, and the mother of the sovereign and the women of the sovereign and his eunuchs and the mighty of the land: he walks them from Yeru Shalem to Babel into exile: ¹⁶ and all the men of valour seven thousand and artificers and locksmiths a thousand - all the mighty who work war - even them the sovereign of Babel exiles to Babel. ¹⁷ And the sovereign of Babel has Mattan Yah his uncle reign in his stead; and turns his name to Sidqi Yah. ¹⁸
SIDQI YAH REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM
Sidqi Yah is a son of twenty-one years when he begins to reign; and he reigns eleven years in Yeru Shalem: and the name of his mother, Hamutal the daughter of Yirme Yah of Libnah. ¹⁹ And he works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh, according to all Yah Yaqim worked. ²⁰ For the wrath of Yah Veh is against Yeru Shalem and against Yah Hudah until he casts them from his face, that Sidqi Yah rebels against the sovereign of Babel.

³⁷ You, O sovereign, are a sovereign of sovereigns: for Elah of the heavens gives you a sovereigndom - power and empowerment and esteem: ³⁸ and everywhere the sons of men whirl; and he gives the live beings of the field and the flyers of the heavens into your hand, and has you dominate over them all: you are this head of gold. ³⁹ And in your stead rises another sovereigndom of earth and another, a third sovereigndom of copper who dominates over all the earth. ⁴⁰ And the fourth sovereigndom becomes mighty as iron: because as iron pulverizes and crushes all: and as iron shatters all these, it pulverizes and shatters. ⁴¹ And as to what you saw - the feet and digits, of clay of the potters, and of iron, the sovereigndom becomes divided; for the strength of the iron becomes therein just as you saw the iron comingled with miry clay. ⁴² And the digits of the feet, of iron and of clay, thus the sovereigndom - becomes mighty, and becomes partly broken. ⁴³ And as you saw iron comingled with miry clay, they become comingled with the seed of men: but they become not this with that - behold, as iron is not comingled with clay.

³ and four great live beings ascend from the sea, changed one from another. ⁴ The first like a lion with wings of an eagle: I see until the wings are plucked; and it lifts from the earth and it raises on its feet as a man; and it is given the heart of a man. 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. ⁸ I am comprehending the horns, and behold, another little horn ascends between them; in front of whom three of the first horns uproot: and behold, in this horn, eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth uttering greatly.

³ and I lift my eyes and see, and behold, there at the face of the river stands one ram with horns: and the horns are high; but one is higher than the second and the higher ascends last: ⁴ I see the ram butting seaward and northward and southward; so that live beings neither stand at his face, nor are rescued from his hand; and he works as he pleases; and greatens. ⁵ And I discern, and behold, a buck of the doe goats comes from the dusk on the face of the whole earth, and touches not the earth: and the buck has a horn of vision between his eyes: ⁶ and he comes to the ram master of horns - whom I see standing at the face of the river; and runs to him in the fury of his force: ⁷ and I see him touch close beside the ram and he embitters against him; and smites the ram and breaks his two horns: and the ram has no force to stand at his face; and he casts him to the earth and tramples him: there is no one to rescue the ram from his hand. ⁸ And the buck of the doe goats greatens mightily: and when he is mighty, the great horn breaks; and a vision of four ascends toward the four winds of the heavens: ⁹ and from one of them, comes a little horn which greatens exceedingly, toward the south and toward the rising and toward the splendor: ¹⁰ and it greatens to the host of the heavens; and it fells some of the host and of the stars to the earth, and tramples them. ¹¹ Yes, he greatens, even to the governor of the host; and he lifts the continual and casts down the place of the holies: ¹² and he gives a host against the continual by reason of rebellion, and casts down the truth to the earth; and it works and prospers. ¹³ And I heard a holy one speaking, and a holy one says to such a one who speaks, How long ere the vision of the continual, and the rebellion of desolating, gives both the holies and the host a trampling? ¹⁴ And he says to me, Until two thousand and three hundred evening mornings; then the holies is justified.

²⁸ And he returns to his land with great acquisitions and with his heart against the holy covenant; and he works and returns to his own land: ²⁹ he returns in season and comes toward the south; and not as in the former or as in the latter: ³⁰ for the ships of Kittim come against him: so he is dejected and returns; and rages against the holy covenant: thus he works; and returns; and discerns with them concerning them who forsake the holy covenant. ³¹ And arms stand up for him and profane the holies of the stronghold and turn aside the continual; and they give the abomination that desolates. ³² And they who declare wicked the covenant he profanes by soothings: and the people who know their Elohim strengthen and work: ³³ and of the people who comprehend, many discern: yet they falter by the sword and by the flame by captivity and by plunder - days: ³⁴ and in their faltering, are helped with a little help: and many join them with soothings. ³⁵ And they who comprehend, falter in order to refine them and to purge and to whiten them to the time of the end: because it is yet for a season.

¹
THE MAN WITH THE MEASURING LINE
And I lift my eyes, and see: and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand:

¹
THE FLYING ROLL
And I turn and lift my eyes and see; and behold, a flying roll:

⁹ And I lift my eyes and see, and behold, two women come with the wind in their wings; - wings as the wings of a stork: and they lift the ephah between the earth and between the heavens.

¹
YAH HUDAH AND BEN YAMIN TRIBULATE AGAINST THE MANSE OF YAH VEH
And the tribulators of Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin hear that the sons of the exile build the manse to Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El:

⁴ And so be it, the people of the land slacken the hands of the people of Yah Hudah and terrify them in building:

⁷ and in the days of Artach Shashta Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabe El and the survivors of their colleagues inscribe to Artach Shashta sovereign of Persia: and the inscribing of the epistle is inscribed in Aramaic and translated in Aramaic.

³ At the same appointment Tattenay the governor on this side the river and Shethar Bozenay and their colleagues come to them and say thus to them, Who set you a decree to build this house and to finish this wall?

¹⁷ Yisra El is a scattered lamb; the lions drive him away: first the sovereign of Ashshur devours him; and last this Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel craunches his bones. ¹⁸ So thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El; Behold, I visit on the sovereign of Babel and his land, as I visited on the sovereign of Ashshur:

⁷ And I hear the man enrobed in linen above the waters of the river; and he lifts his right and his left to the heavens and oaths by him who lives eternally, For a season, seasons, and an half - at the finishing of the scattering of the hand of the holy people all these finish.

¹³ You who have no word of cheer, who say, Have we not, by our own strength, taken horns to ourselves?

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.

²¹ and I say, What approach these to work? And he speaks, saying, These are the horns that winnow Yah Hudah, so that no mouth of man lifts his head: and these approach to tremble them, to hand toss the horns of the goyim, whio lift their horn over the land of Yah Hudah to winnow it.

² and I say, Where go you? And he says to me, To measure Yeru Shalem, to see what the breadth and what the length are.

¹¹ And I answer and say to him, What are these two olives on the right and on the left of the menorah? ¹² And I answer secondly, and say to him, What are these two olive branches by the hand of the two golden tubes pouring the golden oil from themselves? ¹³ And he says to me, saying, Know you not what these are? And I say, No, my Adonay. ¹⁴ And he says, These are the two sons of oil standing by the Adonay of the whole earth.

¹⁴ For thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: As I intrigued to vilify you when your fathers enraged me, says Yah Veh Sabaoth, and I sighed not:

²⁵ Your shoes are iron and copper; and as your days, thus your strength.

¹⁶ for in ascending from Misrayim Yisra El walked through the wilderness to the Reed sea and came to Qadesh.

¹⁸ And he went through the wilderness and surrounded the land of Edom and the land of Moab and came by the rising of the sun of the land of Moab and encamped beyond Arnon; but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon is the border of Moab.

¹¹ And Yah Veh sent Yerub Baal and Bedan and Yiphtach and Shemu El and rescued you from the hand of your enemies all around; and you settled securely.

²⁷ and you gave them into the hand of their tribulators who tribulated them: and in the time of their tribulation they cried to you; and you heard from the heavens; and according to your abundant mercies you gave them saviours to save them from the hand of their tribulators:

¹⁵ Behold, in sojourning, they sojourn, but not by me: whosoever sojourns against you falls for your sake. ¹⁶ Behold, I created the engraver who puffs the coals in the fire and who brings forth an instrument for his work; and I created the ruiner to ruin. ¹⁷ No instrument formed against you prospers; and every tongue rising against you in judgment, you declare wicked. This is the inheritance of the servants of Yah Veh and their justness is of me - an oracle of Yah Veh.

²¹ And saviours ascend on mount Siyon to judge the mount of Esav; and the sovereigndom becomes to Yah Veh.

⁵ and thus is this one of shalom. And when the Ashshuriy come into our land - when he treads in our citadels, then we raise seven tenders against him, and eight libated humans: ⁶ and they tend the land of Ashshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the openings: thus he rescues us from the Ashshuri when he comes into our land and when he treads within our borders.

⁸ And so be the remnant of Yaaqov among the goyim among many people - as a lion among the animals of the forest - as a whelp among the droves of flocks: who, if he passes through, both tramples and tears; and no one rescues. ⁹ Lifted is your hand over your tribulators, and all your enemies cut off.

¹² Turn to the fortress, you prisoners of hope: even today I tell you that I return double to you; ¹³ when I bend Yah Hudah for me, fill the bow with Ephrayim, and waken your sons, O Siyon, against your sons, O Yavan, and set you as the sword of a mighty. ¹⁴ And Yah Veh is seen over them, and his arrow comes as the lightning: and Adonay Yah Veh blasts the shophar and comes with storms of the south: ¹⁵ Yah Veh Sabaoth defends them; and they consume, and subdue with sling stones; and they drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they fill up as sprinklers and as the corners of the sacrifice altar. ¹⁶ And Yah Veh their Elohim saves them in that day as the flock of his people: for they raise the stones of separatism as an ensign on his soil.

³ My wrath kindles against the tenders, and I visit the he goats: for Yah Veh Sabaoth visits his drove - the house of Yah Hudah and sets them as his horse of majesty in the battle. ⁴ From him comes the corner; from him the stake; from him the battle bow; from him every exactor together: ⁵ and they become as the mighty who trample in the mire of the outways in the battle: and they fight, for Yah Veh is with them, and the riders on horses shame.

² Behold, I set Yeru Shalem a bason of staggering to all the people all around, in the siege both against Yah Hudah and against Yeru Shalem: ³ and in that day, I set Yeru Shalem a stone of burden for all goyim: all who burden themselves with it in incising, incise themselves, and all the people of the earth gather against it. ⁴
THE LIBERATION OF YERU SHALEM
In that day, - an oracle of Yah Veh I smite every horse with consternation and his rider with insanity: and I open my eyes on the house of Yah Hudah and smite every horse of the people with blindness. ⁵ And the chiliarchs of Yah Hudah say in their heart, The settlers of Yeru Shalem are my strength in Yah Veh Sabaoth their Elohim. ⁶ In that day I set the chiliarchs of Yah Hudah as a laver of fire among the timber; and as a flambeau of fire in an omer; and they consume all the people all around on the right and on the left: and Yeru Shalem settles again in her own place - in Yeru Shalem:

⁴ I say to them who halal, Halal not! And to the wicked, Lift not the horn! ⁵ Lift not your horn to the heights or word with an impudent neck:

¹⁰ All the horns of the wicked I cut off; and exalt the horns of the just.
