³¹ For it despised the word of Jehovah, and broke his command; being cut off, that soul shall be cut off; its iniquity upon it

⁹ Wherefore didst thou despise the word of Jehovah to do evil in his eyes? Uriah the Hittite thou didst strike with the sword, and his wife thou tookest to thee for a wife, and thou didst kill him with the sword of the sons of Ammon. ¹⁰ And now the sword shall not depart from thy house even to forever; because that thou didst despise me, and thou wilt take the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be to thee for wife.

¹⁶ For they will be mocking upon the messengers of God, and despising his words, and scoffing at his prophets, even to the bringing up the wrath of Jehovah against his people, even to no healing.

³ And now we will cut out a covenant to our God to bring forth all the wives, and those being born of them upon the counsel of my lord, and of those trembling at the command of our God; and according to the law it shall be done.

¹¹ Also thy servant being admonished by them: in watching them much reward.

¹³ He will bless those fearing Jehovah, the small with the great

¹⁶⁵ Much peace to those loving thy law, and no stumbling-block to them.

²⁵ And ye will reject all my counsels, and ye desired not my reproofs:

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

²¹ Evil shall pursue the sinning: and good shall requite the just

² And all these my hand made, and all these shall be, says Jehovah: and to this will I look, to the humble. and smitten of spirit, and trembling at my word.

² And Azariah son of Hoshaiah will say, and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsehood: Jehovah our God sent thee not to say, Ye shall not go to Egypt to sojourn there:

¹⁶ The word which thou spakest to us in the name of Jehovah, we hear not to thee ¹⁷ But doing, we will do all the word which went forth from our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the heavens, to pour out libations to her, as we did, we and our fathers, our kings and our chiefs in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: and we shall be filled with bread, and we shall be well, and see not evil.

¹³ And the house of Israel will rebel against me fit the desert: in my laws they went not, and my judgments they rejected, which a man shall do them and he lived in them: and my Sabbaths they profaned greatly and saying, To pour out my wrath upon them in the desert to finish them.'

¹⁶ Because they rejected upon my judgments, and my laws they went not in them, and my Sabbaths they profaned: for their heart went after their blocks.

²⁴ Because they did not my judgments, and my laws they rejected, and my Sabbaths they profaned, and their eyes were after their fathers blocks.

¹⁶ Then they fearing Jehovah spake each to his neighbor, and Jehovah will attend and will hear, and write a book of remembrance before him for those fearing Jehovah, and for thinking upon his name.

¹² Rejoice and be transported with joy; for much your reward in the heavens for so they drove out the prophets which before you.

³¹ And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither if any rise from the dead, will they be persueded.

²⁸ Any one having rejected Moses' law, without compassion dies by two or three witnesses: ²⁹ Of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be deemed worthy. having trodden down the Son of God, and deemed the blood of the covenant common, in which he was consecrated, and having outraged the Spirit of grace?

⁸ Look to yourselves, lest we should destroy what things we have wrought, but we should receive a full reward.

⁶ The pangs of hades surrounded me; The snares of death anticipated me; ⁷ In straits to me I will call Jehovah, And to God will I call, And he will hear my voice from his temple, And my cry in his ears.

⁵ The pains of hades surrounded me: the snares of death anticipated me.

³ The pains of death surrounded me, and the distresses of hades found me: shall find straits and affliction.

¹¹ For in me thy days shall be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee.

²⁷ The fear of Jehovah a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

²⁴ The path of life is above to the understanding one, to depart from hades below.

⁶ By mercy and truth iniquity shall be expiated: and in the fear of Jehovah a departing from evil.

¹⁷ The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: to watch his ways the guarding of his soul.

²² The understanding of him possessing it is a fountain of life: and the instruction of the foolish is folly.

¹⁴ And David will be prudent in all his ways; and Jehovah with him. ¹⁵ And Saul will see that he is prudent greatly, and he will be afraid of his face. ¹⁶ And all Israel and Judah loved David, for he will go out and come in before them.

⁹ When your fathers tempted me, they proved me; also they saw my works. ¹⁰ Forty years I shall loathe to the generation, and saying, A people they wandering in heart, and they knew not my ways: ¹¹ For I sware in mine anger if they shall come in to my rest

¹⁰ The beginning of wisdom is the fear of Jehovah: a good understanding to all doing them: his praise stands forever.

⁴ And find grace and good understanding in the eyes of God and man.

¹⁹ The way of the unjust as darkness: they shall not know in what they shall stumble.

³⁵ The acceptance of the king to a servant of understanding: and his wrath shall be to him causing shame.

¹⁰ Correction is evil to him forsaking the way: he hating reproof shall die.

¹⁹ Thy wickedness shall correct thee, and thy turnings back shall convict thee: and know thou and see that evil and bitter thy forsaking Jehovah thy God, and that my fear was not to thee, says the Lord Jehovah of armies.

⁵² And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age, and in grace with God and man.

¹⁰ And took him out of all his pressures, and gave him grace and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and set him leader over Egypt and his whole house.

²¹ Therefore what fruit had ye then of what ye are now ashamed? for the end of these, death.

¹⁰ And Nabal will answer David's servants, and say, Who is David? and who the son of Jesse? this day there were many servants breaking away a man from the face of his lord. ¹¹ And took I my bread and my water, and my slaughter which I slaughtered for my shearers, and gave to men whom I knew not from whence they are?

¹⁷ And now know and see what thou wilt do; for evil was finished against our lord and upon all his house: and he a son of Belial, from speaking to him.

²⁵ Now my lord shall not set his heart to this man of Belial upon Nebel: for as his name, so is he: Nabal his name, and folly with him: and I thy servant saw not the boys of my lord which thou sentest

⁵ A good man, being merciful and lending: he will hold up his words in judgment;

²² Lips of falsehood an abomination of Jehovah: and they doing faithfulness his delight ²³ A prudent man covered knowledge: and the heart of the foolish will meet folly.

² The tongue of the wise will make knowledge good: and the mouth of the foolish will gush forth folly.

³ And also as the foolish one went in the way, his heart was wanting, and he said to all, It is folly.

¹³ Behold, my servant shall be wise, he shall be exalted, and lifted up, and be high exceedingly.

¹⁶ Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore discerning as serpents, and pure as doves.

¹⁹ For your obedience has come to all. Therefore I rejoice for you: and I wish you truly to be wise to good, and pure to evil.

²⁰ Brethren, be not children in reflection: but in wickedness act like children, and in reflection be ye perfected.

¹⁷ For this be not foolish, but understanding what the will of the Lord.

²⁶ As vinegar to the teeth and as smoke to the eyes, so is the slothful one to those sending him.

¹³ As the cold of snow in the day of harvest a faithful messenger to those sending him: he shall restore the soul of his lord.

²³ The north wind will set free the rain, and an angry face, a hidden tongue.

⁶ He drank violence, cutting off the feet, sending words by the hand of the foolish one.

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 For this, thus said Jehovah of armies concerning the prophets, Behold me feeding them with wormwood, and I caused to drink the water of poison: for from the prophets of Jerusalem went forth profaneness to all the earth. ¹⁶ Thus said Jehovah of armies, Ye shall not hear to the words of the prophets prophesying to you; they making you vain: they will speak the vision of their heart, not from the mouth of Jehovah.

²⁸ The prophet whom with him a dream, he will recount a dream; and whom my word with him, he will speak my word in truth. What to the straw with the grain? says Jehovah.

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.

⁷ And thou son of man, I gave thee a watchman to the house of Israel; and thou heardest the word from my mouth, and thou didst warn them from me. ⁸ In my saying to the, unjust, O unjust one, dying, thou shalt die; and thou spakest not to warn the unjust from his way, that unjust one shall die in his iniquity, and I will seek his blood from thine hand.

² And besides it is sought in stewards, that any one be found faithful.

¹⁷ For we are not as the many adulterating the word of God: but as of purity, but as of God, before the face of God speak we in Christ.

²⁰ For Christ therefore are we ambassadors, as of God beseeching by us: we pray for the sake of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.

¹² And I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord, having strengthened me, for he deemed me faithful, having set me in the service;

² And what thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, these things lay by for faithful men, who will be sufficient to teach others also.

⁵ The just one shall smite me; a mercy: and he shall admonish me, an oil of the head it shall not decorate my head: for yet my prayer in their evils.

⁹ Lest thou shalt give thy strength to others, and thy years to the cruel: ¹⁰ Lest strangers shall be filled with thy strength, and thy labors in the house of strangers; ¹¹ And thou didst lament in thy latter state, in the consuming of thy flesh and thy fulness, ¹² And thou saidst, How did I hate instruction, and my heart despise reproofs ¹³ And I heard not to the voice of him teaching me, and I inclined not mine ear to him instructing me. ¹⁴ As I was almost in all evil in the midst of the convocation and the assembly.

⁹ Thou shalt give to the wise one and he will be more wise: make known to the just one and he will add receiving.

¹ He loving instruction loved knowledge: and he hating reproof, is stupid.

¹³ He despising to the word it shall be perverse to him: and he fearing the command shall be requited.

³¹ The ear hearing the reproof of life shall lodge in the midst of the wise. ³² He driving away instruction despised his soul: and he hearing reproof obtained a heart

⁶ Many will wait for the face of the prince, and every one the friend to the man giving.

¹² An earring of gold and a necklace of gold, the wise one reproving upon the hearing ear.

³ O Jehovah, are not thine eyes upon faithfulness? thou didst smite them, and they were not pained; thou didst consume them, they refused to take instruction: they made their faces firm above the rock; they refused to turn back. ⁴ And I said, Surely, they are weak; they became foolish: for they knew not the way of Jehovah, the judgment of their God. ⁵ I will go for myself to the great ones, and I will speak to them; for they knew the way of Jehovah, the judgment of their God: surely they together broke the yoke and tore away the bonds. ⁶ For this, a lion from the forest struck them, a wolf of the deserts will destroy them, the panther watched over their cities: every one going forth from thence shall be torn in pieces; for their transgressions were multiplied, their turnings away were strong. ⁷ How shall I forgive to thee for this? thy sons forsook me, and they will swear by not God; and I will satisfy them, and they will commit adultery, and they will crowd themselves together to the house of the harlot ⁸ They were horses seducing to fornication: roaming about, they will neigh, a man for the wife of his neighbor. ⁹ For these shall I not review? says Jehovah; and shalt not my soul be avenged upon a nation such as this?

²⁵ See that ye refuse not him speaking. For if they escaped not, having refused him giving an intimation of the divine will on earth, much more we, who having turned back from him from the heavens:

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.

²⁸ And he will say to man, Behold, the fear of Jehovah, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

¹ To the overseer; chanting of David. O Jehovah, in thy strength shall the king rejoice; and in thy salvation how shall he greatly exult ² The desire of his heart thou gavest to him, and the longing of his lips thou didst not withhold. Silence.

¹⁴ Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace and pursue it

²⁷ Depart from evil and do good, and dwell forever.

⁷ Thou shalt not be wise in thine eyes: fear Jehovah and depart from evil.

¹² Hope being forgotten afflicts the heart: and desire coming, a tree of life.

²⁷ A man of iniquity is an abomination of the just; and the upright of way, an abomination of the unjust one.

⁴ As a little I passed from them till I found him my soul loved: I held him fast, and I shall not let him go till I brought him into my mother's house, and to the chamber of her conceiving me.

¹⁹ Truly the firm foundation of God has stood, having this seal, The Lord knows them being his. And, Let every one naming the name of Christ remove from iniquity.

⁷ I have contended earnestly the good contest, I have completed the course, I have kept the faith: ⁸ As to the rest, the crown of justice is laid up for me, which the Lord will assign to me in that day, the just judge: and not only to me, but also to all them having loved his appearance.

¹⁴ And I said to him, Lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they coming out of great pressure, and they washed their robes, and whitened their robes in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he sitting upon the throne will dwell among them. ¹⁶ They shall hunger no more, nor thirst any more; nor should the sun fall upon them, neither any heat. ¹⁷ For the Lamb in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall guide them to living fountains of water: and God shall wipe out every tear from their eyes.

¹² Abram shall dwell in the land of Canaan, and Lot shall dwell in the cities of the country round about, and will pitch the tent at Sodom. ¹³ And the men of Sodom were evil and sinful before Jehovah exceedingly.

¹² And they shall take Lot and his substance, the son of Abram's brother, and will go away, and he will dwell in Sodom.

⁸ And he will forsake the counsel of the old men which they counseled him, and he will consult with the children which grew up with him which were standing before him.

¹⁰ And the children which grew up with him will speak to him, saying, Thus shalt thou say to this people who spake to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou lighten from upon us; thus shalt thou speak to them, My littleness thick above my father's loins.

⁴ And he will say to Jehoshaphat, Go with me to battle to Ramoth-Gilead. And Jehoshaphat will say to the king of Israel, As me, as thee; as my people, as thy people; as my horses, as thy horses.

³² And it will be when the chiefs of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, and they said, Surely he is the king of Israel. And they will turn aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat will cry out

² And Jehu son of Hanani the seer will go forth to his face, and say to king Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou love to help to the unjust, and to those hating Jehovah? and in this, wrath upon you from before Jehovah.

⁶³ I am a companion to all who will fear thee, and to those watching thy charges.

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.

¹² To deliver thee from the evil way, from the man speaking deceit; ¹³ Those forsaking the paths of straightness to go in the ways of darkness; ¹⁴ Those rejoicing to do evil will exult in the deceit of evil; ¹⁵ Whose paths are perverted, and in their tracks are bent aside: ¹⁶ To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger making smooth her sayings; ¹⁷ Forsaking the friend of her youth, and forgetting the covenant of her God. ¹⁸ For her house sunk down to death, and her tracks to the shades. ¹⁹ All going in it shall not turn back, and they shall not overtake the paths of life. ²⁰ So that thou shalt go in the way of the good, and thou shalt watch the paths of the just

²² He went after her suddenly as the ox will go to the slaughter, and as the fetter for the correction of the foolish. ²³ Till an arrow shall cleave his liver; as a bird hastening to the snare, and not knowing that it is for his soul.

²⁷ Her house the ways to hades, going down to the chambers of death.

⁶ Forsake ye the foolish, and live; and go straight in the way of understanding.

³¹ The ear hearing the reproof of life shall lodge in the midst of the wise.

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.

⁴² And they were persevering in the teaching of the sent, and in mutual participation, and breaking of bread, and prayers.

³³ Be not deceived: evil intercourses corrupt good habits. ³⁴ Recover your senses rightly, and in not; for some have a want of knowledge of God: I speak to your confusion.

¹⁴ Be not unequally yoked together with the unbelieving: for what participation to justice and iniquity and what communion to light with darkness? ¹⁵ And what conformity to Christ with Belial? and what part to the believing with the unbelieving? ¹⁶ And what agreement to the temple of God with images? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God said, That I will dwell in them, and will go round about; and will be their God, and they shall be a people to me. ¹⁷ Therefore come out from the midst of them, and be separated, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you. ¹⁸ And I will be to you for a Father, and ye shall be to me for sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

²⁴ And we should observe one another for the incitement of love and good works:

⁴ And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye partake not of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

⁷ If thou shalt do well thou shalt be lifted up; and if thou shalt not do well, sin lies at the entrance; and to thee his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

²³ And if ye shall not do this, behold, ye sinned to Jehovah: and know ye, your sin which shall find you.

¹⁰ Many the sorrows to the unjust one: and he trusting in Jehovah, mercy shall surround him.

¹⁰ Say to the just, that it is good that they shall eat the fruit of their doings. ¹¹ Wo to the unjust! evil! for the reward of his hands shall be done to him.

⁴ And when the foreigners saw the wild beast hanging on his hand, they said to one another, This man is altogether a murderer, whom, saved from the sea, vengeance suffered not to live.

⁷ To them truly by perseverance of the good work they seek glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: ⁸ But to them of intrigue, and are truly disobedient to the truth, and yielding to injustice, anger and wrath, ⁹ Affliction and distress, upon every soul of man working evil, both of the Jew first, and of the Greek; ¹⁰ But glory, and honour, and peace, to every one working good, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek:

⁷ And I set up my covenant between me and between thee, and between thy seed after thee to their generations for a covenant of eternity; to be a God to thee and to thy seed after thee. ⁸ And I gave to thee and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings with all the land of Canaan for an eternal possession; and I was God to them.

¹² And now ye shall not give your daughters to their sons, and ye shall not take their daughters to your sons, and ye shall not seek their peace and their good even forever, so that ye shall be strong and eat the good of the land, and cause to your sons to inherit even forever.

¹² Who this man fearing Jehovah? he will teach him in the way he shall choose. ¹³ His soul shall lodge in good, and his seed shall inherit the earth.

²⁵ I was a youth, also I grew old, and I saw not the just one forsaken and his seed seeking bread.

²⁸ The sons of thy servants shall abide, and their seed shall be prepared before thee.

² His seed shall be great in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be praised.

⁶ And see thou the sons to thy sons: peace upon Israel.

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.

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: ¹¹ And thy poverty came as he going, and thy want as a man of the shield.

¹⁸ He guarding the fig tree shall eat its fruit: and he watching his lord shall be honored.

¹⁹ He working his land shall be filled with bread: and he pursuing the vain shall be filled with poverty.

⁹ And the profit of the earth in all: it is the king being served to the field.

⁵ He watching the command knew no evil word: and time and judgment the wise one will know. ⁶ To every inclination there is time and judgment; for man's evil is great upon him. ⁷ Also the stork in the heavens knew her appointment; and the turtle-dove, and the swallow, and the twitterer watched the time of their coming; and my people knew not the judgment of Jehovah. ⁸ How shall ye say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah with us? Behold, surely for falsehood he made the style of the scribes a lie. ⁹ The wise were ashamed, they were confounded, and they will be taken: behold, they rejected in the word of Jehovah; and what wisdom to them? ¹⁰ For this I will give their wives to others; their fields to those inheriting them: for from small and even to great all plundering a plunder, from the prophet and even to the priest, all did falsehood.

¹² For whom Jehovah shall love he will rebuke, as a father the son he will delight in.

³⁶ And he sinning against me did violence to his soul: all hating me loved death.

¹⁸ Correct thy son when there is hope, and thy soul shall not lift up for his sighing.

¹⁵ Folly being bound in the heart of a youth; the rod of correction shall remove it far off from him.

¹³ Thou shalt not withhold instruction from youth: if thou shalt strike him with a rod he shall not die. ¹⁴ Thou shalt strike him with the rod, and thou shalt deliver his soul from hades.

¹⁵ The rod and reproofs will give wisdom: and the youth being left shames his mother.

¹⁷ Correct thy son and he shall cause thee to rest, and he shall give delight to thy soul.

²⁶ If any come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, and yet also his own life, he cannot be my disciple.

⁶ For whom the Lord loves he corrects, and he chastises every son which he receives. ⁷ If ye endure correction, God treats you as sons; for who is the son which the father corrects not? ⁸ And if ye are without correction, of which all are partakers, then are ye spurious, not sons.

⁴⁸ And thou servedst thine enemies which Jehovah shall send forth against thee in hunger and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things and he gave a yoke of iron upon thy neck till his destroying thee.

²⁴ Exhausted with hunger, consumed with burning, And bitter destruction: And I will send upon them the tooth of beasts, With the wrath of those crawlers of the dust

¹⁰ The young lions suffered want and were hungry: and they seeking Jehovah shall not want any good.

³ Trust in Jehovah and do good; dwell in the land and be fed with faithfulness.

¹⁶ A little to the just one is good more than the wealth of many unjust.

¹⁸ Jehovah will know the days of the blameless, and their inheritance shall be forever. ¹⁹ They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

¹¹ And thy poverty came as he going, and thy want as a man of the shield.

³ Jehovah will not cause the soul of the just one to hunger: and he will thrust away the desire of the unjust

³⁴ And thy poverty came going about, and thy want as a man of shield.

¹³ For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah, Behold, my servants shall eat and ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink and ye shall thirst: behold, my servants shall rejoice, and ye shall be ashamed. ¹⁴ Behold, my servants shall shout from good of heart, but ye shall cry from pain of heart, and wail from breaking of spirit

¹⁰ For also when we were with you, this we proclaimed to you, that if any will not work, neither should he eat.

⁸ For bodily exercise is profitable, to little: but devotion is profitable to all things, having promise of life now, and that about to be.

⁵ The disposition exempt from avarice; being contented with present circumstances: for he has said, I will not send thee back, nor forsake thee.
