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 ³ And many people went and said, Come, and we will go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us from his ways, and we will go in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

¹⁹ And I set a sign among them and I sent those escaping of them to the nations, Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawing the bow, Tubal and Javan, the isles far off, that heard not my report, and saw not my glory; and they announced my glory among the nations. ²⁰ And they brought all your brethren out of all the nations a gift to Jehovah, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, said Jehovah, as the sons of Israel shall bring a gift in a clean vessel to the house of Jehovah.

¹ And it was in the last of the days the mountain of the house of Jehovah will be prepared upon the head of the mountains, and it was lifted up above the hills, and peoples flowed to it. ² And many nations went and said, Come, and we will go up to the mountain of Jehovah, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us from his ways, and we will go in his paths: from Zion will instruction go forth, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

³ Thus said Jehovah: I turned back to Zion, and I dwelt in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem was called, The city of truth; and the mountain of Jehovah of armies, The holy mountain.

¹¹ For from the rising of the sun and even to its going down, great my name among the nations; and in every place incense being brought to my name, and a clean gift: for great my name among the nations, said Jehovah of armies.

¹³ And he says to them, It was written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; and ye have made it a den of robbers.

¹⁷ And he taught, saying to them, Has it not been written, That my house shall be called the house of prayer to all nations and ye made it a den of robbers.

⁴⁶ Saying to them, It has been written, My house is the house of prayer: and ye have made it a den of robbers.

²¹ Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, that the hour comes, when neither in this mount, neither in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father. ²² Ye worship what ye know not: we worship what we know: for salvation is of the Jews. ²³ But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such worshipping him.

²⁰ And there were certain Greeks of those going up that they might worship in the festival: ²¹ These then came to Philip, him of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Lord, we wish to see Jesus. ²² Philip comes and says to Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip say to Jesus. ²³ And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour has come, that the Son of man should be honoured. ²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, except a kernel of wheat, having fallen into the earth, should die, it remains alone: and if it should die, it brings forth much fruit. ²⁵ He loving his soul shall lose it; but he hating his soul in this world, shall guard it for life eternal. ²⁶ If any one would serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall be my servant: and if any one serve me, him will the Father honour.

¹ I Beseech you therefore, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, your reasonable service.

¹¹ Wherefore remember, that ye then the nations in the flesh, being reckoned Uncircumcision by the Circumcision in the flesh reckoned made by hands; ¹² That ye were in that time without Christy alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners from the covenants of solemn promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: ¹³ And now in Christ Jesus ye who then being far off have become near in the blood of Christ.

⁸ I will therefore men shall pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without anger and reasoning.

²² But ye have come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,

¹⁵ By him therefore we should always bring up the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of the lips assenting to his name.

¹ Peter, sent of Jesus Christ, to the chosen strangers of the dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, ² According to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the consecration of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace, be multiplied.

⁵ And ye yourselves are built, as living stones, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to bring up spiritual sacrifice; acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ The rod shall not depart from Judah, and a leader from between his feet, till that Shiloh shall come: and to him the obedience of the nations.

⁴⁷ Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from the nations to confess to thy holy name, to boast in thy praise

² They being redeemed of Jehovah shall say, Which he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. ³ And he gathered them from the lands, from the sunrisings and from the west, from the north and from the sea.

² Jehovah builds Jerusalem: he will collect together the outcasts of Israel.

¹¹ And it was in that day Jehovah shall add the second time his hand to gain the remnant of his people which shall be left from Assur and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea., ¹² And he lifted up a signal to the nations, and he gathered the outcasts of Israel, and he will collect the dispersed of Judah from the four wings of the earth.

¹² And it was in that day Jehovah will beat off from the stream of the river even to the torrent of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered together by one, one, ye sons of Israel. ¹³ And it was in that day he shall strike upon the great trumpet, and they perishing came into the land of Assui, and the outcasts into the land of Egypt, and they worshiped to Jehovah in the holy mountain in Jerusalem.

⁶ Say to the north, Thou shalt give, and to the south thou shalt not withhold: bring in my sons from far off, and my daughters from the extremities of the earth;

¹² Behold, these shall come from far off; and behold, these from the north, and from the sea; and these from the land of Sinim.

²² Thus said the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and to the peoples I will raise up my signal: and they brought thy sons in the bosom, and thy daughters shall be lifted up upon the shoulder.

⁷ In a little moment I forsook thee; and with great mercies I will gather thee.

³ And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. ⁴ Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: they all gathered together, they came to thee: thy sons shall come from far off, and thy daughters shall be supported upon the side. 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. ⁶ An abundance of camels shall cover thee, the young camels of Midian and Ephah; all they from Seba shall come: they shall lift up gold and frankincense; they shall announce good news, the praises of Jehovah. ⁷ All the sheep of Kedar shall be gathered together to thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall serve thee: they shall go up for acceptance to mine altar and I will adorn the house of my glory. ⁸ Who are these? they will fly as a cloud, and as doves to their lattices. ⁹ For the islands shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish among the first to bring thy sons from far off, their silver and their gold with them, to the name of Jehovah thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he honored thee. ¹⁰ And the sons Of the stranger built thy walls, and their kings shall serve thee: for in my wrath I struck thee, and in mine acceptance I compassionated thee. ¹¹ And thy gates were opened continually; day and night they shall not be shut; to bring to thee the strength of the nations, and their kings being led on.

¹⁸ And I come to gather together all nations and tongues, their works and their purposes; and they came and saw my glory. ¹⁹ And I set a sign among them and I sent those escaping of them to the nations, Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawing the bow, Tubal and Javan, the isles far off, that heard not my report, and saw not my glory; and they announced my glory among the nations. ²⁰ And they brought all your brethren out of all the nations a gift to Jehovah, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, said Jehovah, as the sons of Israel shall bring a gift in a clean vessel to the house of Jehovah. ²¹ And I also will take from them for priests, for Levites, said Jehovah.

¹⁷ For I will bring up healing to thee, and I will heal thee of thy blows, says Jehovah: for they called to thee an outcast: This is Zion, none seeking for her.

¹⁰ Hear the word of Jehovah, ye nations, and announce in the islands from far off, and say, He scattering Israel will gather him, and watch him as the shepherd his flock.

¹¹ And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel were gathered together, and they appointed to them one head, and they came up out of the land: for great the day of Jezreel.

⁶ In that day, says Jehovah, I will assemble her halting, and I will gather her thrust out, and whom I broke in pieces.

¹⁸ I will assemble those grieved for the appointment, who were from thee, the lifting up upon it a reproach. ¹⁹ Behold me doing all for sake of thee in that time: and I saved her halting, and her being driven out I will gather; and I set them for a praise and for a name in every land of their shame. ²⁰ In that time I will bring you, and in the time of my gathering you: for I will give you for a name and for a praise among all peoples of the earth, in my turning your captivity before your eyes, said Jehovah.

⁸ I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I redeemed them: and they multiplied as they multiplied. ⁹ And I will sow them among the peoples, and in distant places shall they remember me: and they lived with their sons, and turned back. ¹⁰ And I turned them back from the hind of Egypt, and from Assur will I gather them, and to the land of Gilead and Lebanon will I bring them; and it shall not be found for them.

¹⁶ And I have, other sheep, which are not of this court-yard: and I must also bring them, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, and one shepherd.

⁵² And not for the nation alone, but that also the children of God, scattered, should be gathered into one.

¹⁰ For the arrangement of the completion of the times, to unite in a whole all things in Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon earth; in him:

¹⁴ For he is our peace, having made both one, and having loosed the middle partition wall of the enclosure; ¹⁵ The enmity in his flesh, the law of commands in enactments, having left unemployed; that he might create in himself one new man, making peace; ¹⁶ And that he might reconcile anew both in one body to God by the cross, having slain the eninity in it:

²⁶ And thy carcass was for food to all the birds of the heavens and to the cattle of the earth, and none terrifying.

⁶ They shall be left together to the ravenous bird of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the ravenous bird summered upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.

⁹ The ravenous hyena is my inheritance to me, rushing round about upon her; go ye, gather together all the beasts of the field, set ye upon to eat her.

⁵ And I cast thee to the desert, thee and all the fish of thy. rivers: thou shalt fall upon the face of the field; thou shalt not be gathered, and thou shalt not be collected.: I gave thee for food to the beast of the earth and to the birds of the heavens.

¹⁷ And thou, son of man, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Say to the bird of every wing and to all the beasts of the field, Gather yourselves together, and come; assemble yourselves from round about to my sacrifice which I sacrifice to you, a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel; and ye ate flesh and drank blood.

¹⁷ And I saw one angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a great voice, saying to all the birds flying in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves to the supper of the great God; ¹⁸ That ye might eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains of thousands, and the flesh of the strong, and the flesh of horses, and of them sitting upon them, and the flesh of all, free and servants, and of small and great.

⁴ Thou shalt not give sleep to thine eyes, and slumber to thine eyelashes. ⁵ Deliver thyself as the roe from the hand, and as the bird from the hand of the fowler. ⁶ Go to the ant, thou slothful one; see her ways, and be wise: ⁷ Which no leader to her, scribe and ruler; ⁸ She will prepare in summer her bread, gathering her food in harvest. ⁹ How long, O slothful one, wilt thou lie down? when wilt thou rise from thy sleep? ¹⁰ A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down:

³⁰ I passed upon the field of the slothful man, and upon the vineyard of the man wanting heart; ³¹ And behold, it came up all of it with thorns; brambles covered its face, and the wall of its stones was overthrown. ³² And I shall see and set my heart: I looked, I took instruction. ³³ A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down: ³⁴ And thy poverty came going about, and thy want as a man of shield.

¹⁰ For Jehovah poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and he will close your eyes: the prophets and your heads, the seeing he covered.

⁸ They watching thee lifted up the voice; the voice together they will shout: for they shall see eye to eye in Jehovah's turning back Zion.

¹ Call with the throat; thou shalt not spare; as a trumpet lift up thy voice, and announce to my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sin.

¹³ For from their little even to their great, every one plundering, plundered; and from the prophet and even to the priest every one did falsehood. ¹⁴ And they will heal the breaking of the daughter of my people by making light, and saying, Peace, peace; and no peace.

¹³ And saying, Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, the prophets saying to them, Ye shall not see the sword, and famine shall not be to you; for the peace of truth will I give to you in this place. ¹⁴ And Jehovah will say to me, The prophets are prophesying a lie in my name: I sent them not, and I commanded them not, and I spake not to them: a vision of falsehood and a divination, and nought, and the deceit of their heart they are prophesying to you.

¹³ And I saw folly in the prophets of Shomeron; they prophesied in Baal, and they will cause my people Israel to wander. ¹⁴ And in the prophets of Jerusalem I saw a horrible thing, committing adultery and going in falsehood: and they strengthened the hands of those doing evil, they turned not back a man from his evil: they were to me all of them as Sodom, and those dwelling in her as Gomorrah.

¹⁵ And I shall go to the captivity, the hill of the green ears, those dwelling at the river Chebar, and where they are sitting there, I shall sit there seven days, being astonished in the midst of them. ¹⁶ And it will be from the end of seven days, and the word of Jehovah will be to me, saying, ¹⁷ Son of man, I gave thee a watchman to the house of Israel: and hear thou the word from my mouth, and admonish them from me. ¹⁸ In my saying to the unjust, Dying, thou shalt die; and thou admonished him not, and thou spakest not to admonish the unjust from his way of injustice to preserve him alive; this unjust one shall die in his iniquity, and his blood I will seek from thy hand.

²⁶ And will cause thy tongue to cleave to thy palate, and thou wert dumb, and thou shalt not be to them for a man reproving: for they are a house of contradiction. ²⁷ And in my speaking with thee I will open thy mouth, and say thou to them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: He hearing, shall hear; and he desisting, shall desist: for they are a house of contradiction.

¹⁶ The prophets of Israel prophesying to Jerusalem, and seeing for her a vision of peace, and no peace, says the Lord Jehovah.

⁶ And if the watchman shall see the sword coming, and he struck not upon the trumpet, and the people were not warned; and the sword shall come and take a soul from them, he was taken away in his iniquity, and his blood I will seek from the watchman's hand.

⁶ My people were cut off from not knowing: because thou didst reject knowledge and I will reject thee from being priest to me: and thou wilt forget the instructions of thy God; I will also forget thy sons, also I

⁷ The days of oversight came, the days of recompense came; Israel knew: the prophet is foolish, the man of the spirit, raving, for the multitude of thine iniquity and great destruction. ⁸ The watchman of Ephraim with God: the prophet the snare of a fowler upon all his ways; destruction in the house of his God.

² Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and call against it; for their evil came up before me. ³ And Jonah will rise up to flee to Tarshish from the face of Jehovah, and he will go down to Joppa; and he will find a ship going to Tarshish, and be will give his hire, and he will go down in it to go with them to Tarshish from the face of Jehovah. ⁴ And Jehovah cast down a great wind upon the sea, and there will be a great storm upon the sea, and the ship was thought to be broken. ⁵ And the seamen will fear, and they will cry each to his God, and they cast down the vessels which were in the ship into the sea to lighten from them. And Jonah went down to the sides of the ship, and he will lie down and snore. ⁶ And the chief sailor will draw near to him and say to him, What to thee, thou snoring? Arise, and call to thy God; perhaps thy God will work for us and we shall not perish.

¹⁸ Thy shepherds slumbered, O king of Assur: thy chiefs will lie down: thy people breathed upon the mountains, and none gathering.

¹⁴ Let them go: they are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

¹⁶ Woe to you blind guides, saying, Whoever should swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever should swear by the gold of the temple, he is indebted! ¹⁷ Foolish and blind; for which is the greater, the gold, or the temple consecrating the gold? ¹⁸ And, Whoever should swear by the altar, it is nothing; and whoever should swear by the gift above it, he is indebted. ¹⁹ Foolish and blind: for which is the greater, the gift, or the altar, consecrating the gifts? ²⁰ Therefore, he having sworn by the altar, swears by it, and by all above it. ²¹ And he having sworn by the temple, swears by it, and by him dwelling in it. ²² And he having sworn by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him sitting above it. ²³ Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye exact tenths and dill and cummin, and ye have left the weightier things of the law, judgment, and mercy, and faith: these it was necessary to do, and not to let go those. ²⁴ Blind guides, straining a gnat, and swallowing down a camel. ²⁵ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup, and the side dish of sweet-meats, and within they are full of pillage and bad mixture. ²⁶ O blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, and side dish of sweetmeats, that also their outside might be clean.

³⁴ As a man travelling, having left his house, and having given power to his servants, and to each his work, and he commanded the guard of the door that he should watch. ³⁵ Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house comes, at eve, or midnight, or cock-crowing, or morning. ³⁶ Lest having come suddenly he find you sleeping. ³⁷ And what I say to you, I say to all, Watch ye.

³⁹ And he spake to them a parable, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? ⁴⁰ For the learner is not above his teacher: and every one set in order shall be as his teacher.

² Look out for dogs, look out for evil workmen, look out for the incision.

³ And the poor one thou shalt not make proud in his cause.

¹² And the sons of Eli, sons of Beli-al; they knew not Jehovah. ¹³ And the priests judging the people, every man sacrificing a sacrifice; and the boy of the priest came as the flesh boiled, and the fork of three teeth in his hand; ¹⁴ And he struck into the fire-pan or into the boiler, or into the kettle, or into the pot; all which the fork will bring up the priest will take for himself. So they will do to all Israel coming there into Shiloh. ¹⁵ Also before they will burn the fat and the boy of the priest came and said to the man sacrificing, Thou shalt give flesh to roast for the priest; and he will not take from thee flesh boiled but living. ¹⁶ And the man will say to him, Burning, they shall burn the fat as the day, and take to thee as thy soul shall desire; and he said to him, But now thou shalt give, and if not I will take by force. ¹⁷ And the sin of the boys will be exceedingly great before Jehovah, for the men despised the gifts of Jehovah.

²⁹ Wherefore will ye trample upon my sacrifice and upon my gifts which I commanded to my habitation? and thou wilt honor thy sons above me to fatten yourselves from the chief of all the gifts of Israel my people.

¹⁰ He loving silver shall not be satisfied with silver; and whoever loved not the increase with the multitude. Also this is vanity.

³ . The ox knew his possessor, and the ass his lord's stall: Israel knew not; my people understood not

¹⁷ For the iniquity of his plunder was I angry, and I will smite him: covering myself, and I will be angry, and he went turning away in the way of his heart.

¹⁷ For thine eyes and thy heart not but for thy plunder and for guiltless blood to pour out, and for oppression and for running, to do.

¹⁹ Ye will profane me to my people for handfuls of barley and for morsels of bread, to kill the souls which shall not die, and to preserve alive the souls which shall not live, by your falsehood to my people hearing the falsehood?

² Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say to them, To the shepherds, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo! to the shepherds of Israel who were feeding themselves: shall not the shepherds feed the sheep? ³ Ye will eat the fat, and ye will put on the wool, ye will sacrifice the fatlings: ye will not feed the sheep.

⁵ Thus said Jehovah for the prophets causing my people to wander, and biting with their teeth, and they called, Peace; and who will not give upon their mouth and they consecrated war against him: ⁶ For this, night to you from a vision, and darkness to you from divining; and the sun went down upon the prophets, and the day was dark upon them.

¹¹ Her heads will judge for a gift, and her priests will teach for hire, and her prophets will divine for silver: and they will lean upon Jehovah, saying, Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? he will not bring evil upon us.

¹⁵ And Jehovah will say to me, Yet take to thee the vessels of a foolish shepherd. ¹⁶ For behold, I raise up a shepherd in the land, he shall not review those being concealed; the youth he shall not seek, and he shall not heal the broken, and he shall not nourish the standing firmly: and he shall eat the flesh of the fading, and he shall break their hoofs. ¹⁷ Wo! to the empty shepherd forsaking the sheep; the sword upon his arm, and upon his right eye: and his arm being dried up, shall be dried up, and his right eye being dim, shall be dim.

¹⁰ Who also among you and he will shut the doors? and ye shall not make light mine altar gratuitously. Not to me delight in you, said Jehovah of armies, and I will not delight in the gift of your hand.

¹⁴ And the prophecy of Esaias is filled up in them, saying, In hearing shall ye hear, and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive. ¹⁵ For the heart of this people has been thickened, and with their ears have they heard heavily, and their eyes have they closed; lest perhaps they should see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I should heal them.

⁴³ Wherefore ye know not my speech, for ye cannot hear my word.

²⁹ For I know this, that there shall come in after my departure grievous wolves to you, not sparing the flock.

³³ Silver or gold, or clothing, of none have I eagerly desired.

⁴ In whom the God of this world blinded the minds of the unbelieving, so that the enlightening of the good news of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, does not enlighten them.

¹⁹ Whose end destruction, whose God the belly, and their glory in shame, having in mind earthly things.)

³ Not intoxicated, not a quarrelsome person, not occupied in sordid gain; but equitable, without fighting, exempt from avarice;

⁸ Deacons likewise grave, not speaking equivocally, not holding to much wine, not occupied in sordid gain;

⁷ For a bishop must be irreproachable, as steward of God; not self-sufficient, not prone to anger, not intemperate, not a striker, not occupied in sordid gain.

¹¹ Who must be restrained, who subvert whole houses, teaching what they ought not, for the sake of sordid gain.

² Tend the flock of God which among you, inspecting, not by force, but voluntarily; neither occupied in sordid gain, but of a ready will;

³ And by covetousness with feigned words shall trade in you: to whom judgment since a long while is not inactive, and their perdition sleeps not.

¹⁴ Having eyes full of an adulteress, not ceasing from sin; decoying unstable souls: having a heart exercised with covetousness; children of a curse: ¹⁵ Having forsaken the straight way, they were led astray, having followed in the way of Balaam son of Bosor, who loved the reward of injustice; ¹⁶ And he had reprehension for his own iniquity: the dumb ass speaking in man's voice impeded the insanity of the prophet.

¹¹ Woe to them for they went in the way of Cain, and were poured out in the error of Balaam for a reward, and they were destroyed in the controversy of Core.

¹⁶ These are murmurers, discontented, going according to their eager desires; and their mouth speaks exceeding bulky things, admiring faces on account of advantage.

¹⁵ And without, dogs, and charmers and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters, and every one loving and doing a lie.

⁶ Saying in his heart, I shall not be moved: to generation and generation for not in evil.

³⁵ They struck me, I was not pained; they beat me, I knew not: when shall I awake? I will add, I will yet seek it.

¹ Thou shalt not boast upon the day of the morrow, for thou shalt not know what a day shall bring forth.

⁴ Not for kings, O Lemuel, not for kings to drink and for princes the desire of strong drink: ⁵ Lest he shall drink and forget what is prescribed, and change the judgment of all the sons of affliction.

¹¹ Wo to those rising early in the morning, they will follow strong drink; remaining in the evening, wine will inflame them.

²² Wo to the strong to drink wine, and men of strength to mix strong drink:

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. ¹⁴ And it was uncovered in the ears of Jehovah of armies, If this iniquity shall be expiated to you till ye shall die, said the Lord Jehovah of armies.

⁷ And these also went astray by wine, and by strong drink they erred; the priest and the prophet went astray by strong drink, they were swallowed up from wine, they erred from strong drink, they went astray in seeing, they wavered in judgment. ⁸ For all tables were full of vomit, of filth without place.

¹⁸ And they will say, Come, and we will purpose purposes against Jeremiah; for law shall not perish from the priest, and counsel from the wise, and the word from the prophet Come, and we will strike him with the tongue, and we will not attend to any of his words.

¹¹ Fornication and wine and new wine will take away the heart.

³ Extending to the evil day, and ye will bring near the seat of violence; ⁴ Lying upon beds of ivory, and stretching out upon their couches, and eating the lambs from the flock, and the calves from the midst of the stall. ⁵ Prating upon the mouth of the lyre, as David they invented to them instruments of music; ⁶ Drinking wine in vases, and they will anoint with the chief of ointments: and they were not grieved for the breaking of Joseph.

⁴⁹ And he should begin to strike the fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with those intoxicated; ⁵⁰ The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he expects not, and in an hour which he knows not, ⁵¹ And he shall cut him in two equal parts, and he shall set his portion with the hypocrites: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

¹⁹ And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years; rest, eat, drink, be gladdened. ²⁰ And God said to him, O foolish one, this night they require thy soul from thee: and what thou hast prepared, to whom shall it be?

⁴⁵ And if that servant should say in his heart, My Lord delays to come; and should begin to strike the servants and maids, also to eat and drink, and to be intoxicated; ⁴⁶ The lord of that servant shall come in a day which he expects not, and in an hour which he knows not, and he will cut him in two equal parts, and set his portion with the unbelieving.

³⁴ And attend to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be loaded with dizziness, caused by excess, and drunkenness, and cares of life, and that day come upon you unexpectedly.

³² If according to man I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what the profit to me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
