Thy God will do good to the name of Solomon above thy name, and he will magnify his throne above thy throne. And the king will worship upon the bed. ⁴⁸ And also thus will the king say, Blessed Jehovah the God of Israel who gave this day him sitting upon my throne, and mine eyes seeing. ⁴⁹ And all the called that were to Adonijah will tremble, and will rise and go, a man to his way. ⁵⁰ And Adonijah will, be afraid of the face of Solomon, and he will rise and go, and lay hold upon the horns of the altar. ⁵¹ And it will be announced to Solomon, saving, Behold, Adonijah was afraid of king Solomon, and behold, he seized upon the horns of the altar, saying, Will king Solomon swear to me according to the day if he will kill his servant with the sword? ⁵² And Solomon will say, If he will be for a son of strength there shall not fall of his hairs to the earth: and if evil shall be found in him and he shall die. ⁵³ And king Solomon will send and they will bring him down from the altar. And he will come and worship to king Solomon: and Solomon will say to him, Go to thy house.

²⁶ And to Abiathar the priest the king said, Go to Anathoth upon thy field: for thou a man of death: and in this day will not kill thee, for thou didst lift up the ark of the Lord Jehovah before David my father, and because thou wert afflicted in all which my father was afflicted. ²⁷ And Solomon will drive out Abiathar from being priest to Jehovah, to complete the word of Jehovah which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

³⁵ And I took the kingdom from the hand of his son and gave it to thee, the ten tribes. ³⁶ And to his son I will give one tribe on account of there being a light to David my servant all the days before me in Jerusalem the city which I chose to me to put my name there.

¹⁸ And king Rehoboam will send Adoram who was over the tribute, and all Israel will stone upon him with stone, and he will die. And king Rehoboam strengthened himself to go up into the chariot to flee to Jerusalem. ¹⁹ And Israel will break with the house of David even to this day. ²⁰ And it will be when all Israel heard that Jeroboam turned back, and they will send and call him to the assembly, and they will make him king over all Israel, and there was none after the house of David except the tribe of Judah alone.

¹ Of instruction to Ethan the Ezrahite. The mercies of Jehovah forever will I sing: to generation and generation will I make known thy faithfulness with my mouth. ² For I said, Mercy shall be built up forever: the heavens, thy faithfulness shall be prepared in them. ³ I cut out a covenant to my chosen, I sware to David my servant, ⁴ Even to forever I will prepare thy seed, and I built up to generation and generation thy throne, Silence. ⁵ And the heavens shall confess thy wonders, O Jehovah, also thy faithfulness in the convocation of the holy ones. ⁶ For who in the cloud shall be compared to Jehovah? shall he be likened to Jehovah among the sons of God? ⁷ God being greatly terrible in the council of the holy ones and to be feared by all round about him. ⁸ O Jehovah, God of armies, who as thee, Jah, strong? and thy faithfulness round about thee? ⁹ Thou ruling over the lifting up of the sea: in the lifting up of its waves thou wilt soothe them. ¹⁰ Thou didst break Rahab in pieces as the wounded one; with the arm of thy strength thou didst scatter thine enemies. ¹¹ To thee the heavens, also to thee the earth; the habitable globe and its fulness thou didst found them. ¹² The north and the south thou didst create them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. ¹³ To thee an arm with strength: thou wilt strengthen thy hand, and thou wilt lift up thy right hand. ¹⁴ Justice and judgment the preparing of thy throne: mercy and truth shall anticipate thy face. ¹⁵ Happy the people knowing the shout of joy: O Jehovah, they shall go in the light of thy face. ¹⁶ In thy name they shall rejoice all the day, and in thy justice they shall be exalted. ¹⁷ For thou the beauty of their stength, and in thine acceptance our horn shall be exalted. ¹⁸ For to Jehovah our shield, and to the Holy One of Israel our King. ¹⁹ Then thou spakest in a vision to thy godly one, and thou wilt say, I put help upon the mighty one; I exalted the chosen one from the people. ²⁰ I found David my servant; with my holy oil I anointed him: ²¹ Which my hand shall be prepared with him: also shall mine arm strengthen him. ²² The enemy shall not impose upon him, and the son of iniquity shall not afflict him. ²³ And I beat down his adversaries from his fame, and I will smite those hating him. ²⁴ And my faithfulness and my mercy with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted. ²⁵ And I set his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. ²⁶ He shall call me, Thou my father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation, ²⁷ Also I will give him the firstborn, the highest to the kings of the earth. ²⁸ Forever will I watch my mercy to him, and my covenant was firm to him. ²⁹ I set his seed forever, and his throne as the days of the heavens. ³⁰ If his sons shall forsake my law, and not go in my judgments; ³¹ If they shall profane my laws and watch not my commands; ³² And I reviewed their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with blows. ³³ And my mercy I will not rend from him, and I will not lie in my faithfulness, ³⁴ I will not profane my covenant, and I will not change the going forth of my lips. ³⁵ Once did I swear in my holy place if I shall lie to David. ³⁶ His seed shall be forever and his throne as the sun before me. ³⁷ As the moon it shall be prepared forever, and a faithful witness in the cloud.

¹ Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel; ² To know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding; ³ To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice and judgment, and uprightness; ⁴ To give craftiness to the simple, and to the youth, knowledge and meditation. ⁵ The wise one will hear and he will add learning: and he understanding, shall obtain guidance: ⁶ To understand a proverb, and an enigma: the words of the wise and their parables. ⁷ The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge: the foolish despised wisdom and instruction. ⁸ My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and thou shalt not reject the law of thy mother: ⁹ For they a garland of grace to thy head, and necklaces for thy throat ¹⁰ My son, if they sinning shall entice thee, thou shalt not go in. ¹¹ If they shall say, Go with us, we will lie in wait for blood, we will hide for the innocent gratuitously; ¹² We will swallow them down living, as hades, and whole, as they going down to the pit: ¹³ We shall find precious riches, we will fill our houses with spoil: ¹⁴ Wilt thou cast thy lot in the midst of us; one purse shall be to all: ¹⁵ My son, thou shalt not go in the way with them; withhold thy foot from their beaten paths: ¹⁶ For their feet will run to evil, and they will hasten to pour out blood: ¹⁷ For gratuitously the net was spread in the eyes of all possessing a wing. ¹⁸ And they will lie in wait for their blood; they will hide for their souls. ¹⁹ So the ways of every one plundering plunder; he will take the soul of those possessing it. ²⁰ Wisdom will cry without; in the broad places she will give her voice: ²¹ She will call in the head of sound, in the entrances of the gates: in the city she will say her words: ²² How long, ye simple, will ye love simplicity? and mockers delight to mock for them, and the foolish hate knowledge? ²³ Ye shall turn back at my reproofs: behold, I will pour forth my spirit to you, I will make known my words to you. ²⁴ Because I called and ye will refuse; I stretched forth my hands, and none attending; ²⁵ And ye will reject all my counsels, and ye desired not my reproofs: ²⁶ Also I will laugh at your ruin: I will deride in the coming of your terror; ²⁷ In your terror coming as a destroying tempest, and your ruin shall come as a whirlwind; in the coming upon you of straits and distress. ²⁸ Then they shall call upon me, and I will not answer; they shall seek me, and shall not find me; ²⁹ For that they hated knowledge, and chose not the fear of Jehovah: ³⁰ They desired not for my counsels: and derided all my reproofs. ³¹ And they shall eat from the fruit of their way, and be filled with their purposes

⁶ For Jehovah will give wisdom: from his mouth knowledge and understanding.

²⁸ In a multitude of people the king's decoration: and in the cessation of the people the destruction of the prince.

¹¹ He loving pureness of heart the grace of his lips, the king is his friend.

¹² I the preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

¹⁶ It spake with my heart, saying, Behold, I was magnified, and added wisdom over all that were before me at Jerusalem: and my heart saw much of wisdom and knowledge.

²⁴ Not good in man he shall eat and drink and cause his soul to see good in his labor. Also this I saw that it is from the hand of God.

²⁶ For to a man good before his face, he gave wisdom and knowledge and gladness: and to him sinning, he gave labor, to gather and to heap up, to give to the good one before the face of God. Also this is vanity and the striving of the spirit.

⁹ And besides, the preacher was wise; he yet taught the people knowledge; and he gave ear, and sought out, setting in order many parables.

¹ The song of songs which is to Solomon. ² He shall kiss me from the kisses of his mouth: for thy good breasts are above wine. ³ To the odor of the good ointments thy name shall be poured forth an ointment; for this, the maidens loved thee. ⁴ Draw me, we will run after thee: the king brought me to his chambers: we will exult and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy breasts above wine: the upright loved thee. ⁵ I am black and beautiful, O daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. ⁶ Thou shalt not see me, I am black; the sun searched me: my mother's sons were angry with me; they set me to watch the vineyards; my vineyard I watched not for me. ⁷ Announce to me, thou whom my soul loved, where thou wilt feed, where thou wilt lie down at noon: wherefore shall I be as he covered by the herds of thy companions. ⁸ If thou shalt not know for thyself, O fair one among women, come forth for thyself at the heels of the flock, and feed thy kids by the shepherds' tents. ⁹ To my mares in Pharaoh's chariots I likened thee, O my neighbor. ¹⁰ Thy cheeks were beautiful with with rows, thy neck with strings of pearls. ¹¹ We will make for thee rows of gold, with marks of silver. ¹² The king yet in his divan, my spikenard gave its odor. ¹³ A bundle of myrrh my beloved to me; he shall lodge between my breasts. ¹⁴ A cluster of cypress my beloved to me in the vineyards of the kids' fountain. ¹⁵ Behold thee fair, my friend; behold thee beautiful; thine eyes are doves'. ¹⁶ Behold thee beautiful, my beloved, also pleasant: also our bed is green. ¹⁷ The walls of our houses cedars, our carved ceilings, cypresses.

² And it was in the last days, the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be prepared upon the head of the mountains, and lifted up above the hills; and all nations flowed to it

⁷ To the increase of his dominion and to peace no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom to prepare it and to support it in judgment and in justice from now and even to forever: the zeal of Jehovah of armies will do this.

¹¹ Also the chiefs of Zoan are foolish, the wise counseling Pharaoh the counsel became brutish: how shall ye say to Pharaoh, I the son of the wise, the son of kings of old? ¹² Where are they? where thy wise? and they shall announce to thee now, and they shall make known what Jehovah shall counsel upon Egypt

¹³ And behold, gladness and joy, killing cattle and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: eat and drink, for to-morrow we shall die.

⁵ Then thou shalt see and flow together, and thy heart shall fear and be enlarged; for the multitude of the sea shall turn to thee, the strength of the nations shall come to thee.

¹⁸ Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, desolation and breaking in thy bounds: and thou calledst thy walls Salvation, and thy gates, Praise.

⁶ I appointed those watching over thy walls, O Jerusalem: all the day and all the night continually they shall not be silent: ye remembering Jehovah, no stillness to you.

⁵ Behold the days coming, says Jehovah, and I raised up to David a just sprout, and a king reigned and prospered, and he did judgment and justice in the earth. ⁶ In his days shall Judah be saved, and Israel shall dwell with confidence: and this his name which he shall be called: Jehovah Our Justice.

¹⁵ In those days and in that time I will cause the sprout of justice to spring up to David; and he did judgment and justice in the land. ¹⁶ In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell with confidence; and this is what shall be called to her: Jehovah our Justice.

²² As the army of the heavens shall not be numbered and the sand of the sea shall not be measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites serving me.

¹¹ And thou saidst, I will come up upon the land of the open country; I will go to those being at rest, dwelling confidently, all of them dwelling without a wall, and bar and doors not to them,

²⁰ And every word of the wisdom of understanding which the king sought from them, and he will find them ten hands over all the sacred scribes, the enchanters which were in all his kingdom.

⁷ At that time the sacred scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the diviners, coming in: and I told the dream before them: and its interpretation they making not known to me.

¹¹ There is a man in thy kingdom that the spirit of the holy gods in him; and in the days of thy father, his light and his understanding and wisdom according to the wisdom of the gods was found in him; and king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king thy father, set him up leader of the sacred scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, the diviners: ¹² Because that an excellent spirit and knowledge, and his understanding interpreting dreams, and showing of enigmas, and solving knotty questions, was found in him, in Daniel whom the king set his name Belteshazzar: now Daniel shall be called, and he will show the interpretation.

¹³ Make fast the chariot to the steed, thou inhabitress of the smitten: she the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion: for in thee were found the transgressions of Israel.
