¹⁸ He believing in him is not judged: and he not believing has been already judged, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that light has come into the world, and men rather loved darkness than light, for their works were evil. ²⁰ For every one doing bad things hates the light, and he comes not to the light, lest his works should be rebuked. ²¹ But he doing the truth comes to the light, that his works might be manifested, that they are wrought in God.

³ For the time will be when they will not hear sound doctrine; but according to their own eager desires they will heap up to themselves teachers, feeling itchings for a report;

² And the king will say to me, Wherefore thy face sad, and thou not being, sick? This nothing but sadness of heart. And I shall be very greatly afraid.

²⁵ Fear in the heart of a man will bow it down: and a good word will gladden it

¹⁵ All the days of the afflicted are evil: and the good of heart drinking always.

²² A joyful heart shall make good healing: and a dejected spirit shall dry up the bones.

¹ Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, and believe in me.

¹² For our boasting is this, the testimony of our consciousness, that in simplicity and purity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we turned back in the world, and more eminently to you.

⁷ So that on the contrary ye should rather show kindness, and console, lest perhaps such be swallowed down with more abundant sadness.

¹⁰ For grief according to God works repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but grief of the world works death.

⁶ And Solomon will say, Thou didst with thy servant David, my father, great mercy, according as he went before thee in the truth and in justice and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou wilt watch for him this great mercy, and thou wilt give to him a son sitting upon his throne as this day. ⁷ And now, Jehovah my God, thou madest thy servant king instead of David my father and I a little boy, shall not know to go out and come in. ⁸ And thy servant in the midst of thy people which thou didst choose, many people which shall not be numbered and counted for multitude. ⁹ And give to thy servant a heart to hear to judge thy people to discern between good to evil: for who shall be able to judge this thy weighty people? ¹⁰ And the word will be good in the eyes of God that Solomon asked this word. ¹¹ And God will say to him, Because thou didst ask this word, and didst not ask for thyself many days; and didst not ask for thyself riches, and didst not ask the soul of thine enemies: and didst ask for thyself to have understanding to hear judgment; ¹² Behold, I did according to thy word, I gave to thee a wise and understanding heart; that there was not as thou before thee, and after thee there shall not arise like thee.

⁹⁷ How I loved thy law I all the day it is my meditation.

¹⁰⁰ I shall understand above the old men, for I watched thy charges.

⁵ The wise one will hear and he will add learning: and he understanding, shall obtain guidance:

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.

¹⁵ The heart of him understanding will obtain knowledge and the ear of the wise will seek knowledge.

¹⁰ Who said to the seeing, Ye shall not see, and to the perceiving, Ye shall not perceive for us right things, speak to us smooth things, perceive delusions.

²⁰ He fed upon ashes: a deceived heart turned him away, and he shall not deliver his soul, and he shall not say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

¹ Ephraim fed upon the wind, and he pursued the east wind: all the day he multiplied falsehood and destruction; and they will cut out a covenant with Assur, and oil will be brought to Egypt

¹¹ And they were of more noble birth than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all willingness, and examined the writings daily, if these things might hold thus.

¹⁸ And grow ye in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him the glory now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

³⁵ And all his sons and all his daughters, will rise up to comfort him; and he will refuse to be comforted; and will say, For I will go down to my son mourning to hadas; and his father will weep for him.

⁹ And Jacob will say to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my sojourning, thirty and a hundred years: little and evil were the days of the years of my life, and they reached not the days of the years of the life of my fathers in their sojournings.

⁷ For we were finished in thine Anger, and in thy wrath we were terrified. ⁸ Thou didst set our iniquities before thee, our hidden things before the light of thy face. ⁹ For all our days turned away in thy wrath: we finished our years as a meditation

¹³ A heart of joy will do the face good: and by pains of heart the spirit was dejected.

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

²⁵ And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, praised God: and the imprisoned heard them.

² By whom also we have had access by faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast upon hope of the glory of God. ³ And not only, but also we boast in affliction: knowing that affliction works perseverance;

¹¹ And not only, but also boasting in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation.

¹² Rejoicing in hope; holding out under pressure; persevering in prayer;

⁵ For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so by Christ abounds also our comfort.

¹⁰ As being grieved, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

⁶ By which ye are transported with joy, now for a little, (if it is necessary,) having grieved in various temptations: ⁷ That the proof of your faith, much more precious than perishing gold, and being tried by fire, might be found to praise and honour and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ: ⁸ Whom not having seen, ye love; in whom, now not seeing, but believing, ye are transported with joy unalterable, and highly valued:

¹³ But, inasmuch as ye participate in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice; that also, in the revelation of his glory, ye might rejoice, transported with joy.

⁶ Good the poor one going in his integrity above him perverting the ways, and he the rich.

¹⁰ And all that mine eyes asked I kept not back from them, and I withheld not my heart from all gladness; for my heart rejoiced from all my labor: and this was my portion from all my labor. ¹¹ And I looked upon all my works my hands made, and upon the labor I labored to do, and behold, all vanity and striving of the spirit, and no profit under the sun.

¹⁸ And I hated all my labor I laboring under the sun: leaving it to the man who shall come after me. ¹⁹ And who shall know whether he shall be wise or foolish? And he shall have dominion over all my labor which I labored, and was wise under the sun. Also this is vanity. ²⁰ And I turned about to let my heart despair for all the labor I labored under the sun. ²¹ For there is man his labor in wisdom, and in knowledge and in success; and to man not laboring in it he shall give his portion. Also this is vanity and much evil. ²² For what was to man in all his labor, and in the striving of his heart, he labored under the sun? ²³ For all his days pains, and vexation, his labor; also in the night his heart rested not Also this it is vanity.

¹⁰ He loving silver shall not be satisfied with silver; and whoever loved not the increase with the multitude. Also this is vanity. ¹¹ In the multitude of good they were multiplied eating it: and what the success to its possessors but seeing with his eyes? ¹² The sleep of the servant is sweet, if little, or if much he shall eat: and the satiety to the rich not permitting to him to sleep.

⁶ But devotion with contentment is great gain.

¹ Song of ascensions to David. Behold, how good and how pleasant the dwelling of brethren even together. ² As good oil upon the head, going down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron: coming down upon the mouth of his garments: ³ As the dew of Hermon coming down upon the mountains of Zion: for there Jehovah commanded the blessing, life even forever.

¹ Good a dry morsel and peace with it, above a house full of sacrifices of contention.

¹⁹ Good to dwell in the land of the desert rather than with a woman of contentions and anger.

⁴ And again, he sent other servants, saying, Say to the called: Behold, I have prepared my supper; my bulls and stall-fed killed, and all prepared: come to the nuptials.

²³ And having brought the fatted calf, sacrifice, and eating, let us be gladdened.

¹ If therefore any consolation in Christ, if any encouragement of love, if any mutual participation of the Spirit, if any compassions and mercies,

¹⁶ And we have known and have believed the love which God has in us. God is love; and he remaining in love remains in God, and God in him.

⁸ And Abram will say to Lot, Now there shall not be strife between me and between thee, and between my shepherds and between thy shepherds, for we are men brethren. ⁹ Is not all the land before thy face? Now be separated from me; if to the left hand, I will go to the right; and if to the right hand, I will go to the left

²⁴ And she will fall at his feet and say, In me, my lord, me the iniquity; and thy servant now will speak in thine ears, and hear the words of thy servant. 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 ²⁶ And now my lord, Jehovah lives and thy soul lives, for Jehovah withheld thee from coming by blood, and saving thy hand to thyself, and now thine enemies shall be as Nabal, they seeking out evil to my lord. ²⁷ And now this blessing which thy servant brought to my give it to the boys going at the feet of my lord. ²⁸ Lift up now, to the trespass of thy servant: for making, Jehovah will make to my lord a faithful house; for Jehovah fought the battles of my lord, and evil shall not be found in thee thy days. ²⁹ And a man will rise to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: and the soul of my lord was bound up in the bundle of lives with Jehovah thy God; and the soul of thine enemies he will sling out in the midst of the hand of the sling. ³⁰ And it was that Jehovah will do to my lord according to all the good which he spake concerning thee, and he commanded thee for leader over Israel; ³¹ And this shall not be to thee for an obstacle and for a stumbling-block of heart to my lord, and to pour out blood gratuitously, and for my lord saving for himself: and the doing good of Jehovah to my lord, and remember thy servant ³² And David will say to Abigail, Blessed Jehovah the God of Israel who sent thee this day to meet me. ³³ And blessed thy discernment, and blessed thou who finished me this day from coming for bloods, and my hand saving for me. ³⁴ But yet Jehovah the God of Israel lives who withheld me from doing thee evil, for unless thou hastenedst and came to meet me, for if there was left to Nabal by the light of the morning him pissing against the wall. ³⁵ And David will take from her hand what she brought to him, and he said to her, Go up for peace to thy house; see, I heard to thy voice, and I will lift up thy face. ³⁶ And Abigail will go to Nabal; and behold, to him a drinking in his house as the drinking of a king; and Nabal's heart good with him, and he was intoxicated even greatly; and she announced not to him a word small and great till the light of the morning. ³⁷ And it will be in the morning in the wine coming forth from Nabal, and his wife will announce to him these words, and his heart will die in the midst of him, and he was for a stone. ³⁸ And it will be about ten days, and Jehovah will strike Nabal, and he will die. ³⁹ And David will hear that Nabal died, and he will say, Blessed Jehovah who plead the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and held back his servant from evil: and the evil of Nabal Jehovah turned back upon his head. And David will send and will speak with Abigail to take her to him for wife. ⁴⁰ And David's servants will come to Abigail to Carmel and will speak to her, saying, David sent us to thee to take thee to him for a wife. ⁴¹ And she will rise and worship with the face to the earth, and say, Behold, thy servant for a servant to wash the feet of my lord's servants. ⁴² And Abigail will hasten and rise, and ride upon the ass with five of her girls going at her feet; and she will go after David's messengers and she will be to him for a wife. ⁴³ And David took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also, they two, to him for wives. ⁴⁴ And Saul gave Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti, son of Laish, who was of Gallim.

⁴³ And the man Israel will answer the man Judah, and say, Ten hands to me in the king, and also in David I above thee: and wherefore didst thou make light of me? and was not my word first to me to turn back my king? And the word of the man Judah will will be hard above the word of the man Israel.

²⁹ The slow to anger of much understanding: and the short of spirit exalts folly.

¹ A soft answer will turn away wrath, and a word of pain will bring up anger.

²⁸ A man of perverseness shall send forth strife: and a tale-bearer separates friends.

²¹ As charcoal to burning coals and woods to fire, and a man of strifes to kindle strife.

⁴ If the spirit of him ruling shall go up against thee, thou shalt not leave thy place; for quietness will put down great sins.

⁹ Happy they making peace: for they shall be called sons of God.

¹ And in those days, the disciples multiplying, there was a murmuring of the Greeks against the Hebrews, because their widows were overlooked in the daily service. ² And the twelve having called the multitude of the disciples, said, It is not pleasing for us, having left the word of God, to serve tables. ³ Therefore, survey, brethren, seven men of you, being witnesses full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom ye shall set over this need. ⁴ And we will persevere in prayer, and the service of the word. ⁵ And the word pleased before all the multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:

¹⁹ Wherefore, my dearly beloved brethren, let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger: ²⁰ For man s anger works not the justice of God.

¹⁴ And if ye have bitter envy and intrigue in your heart, boast not, and lie not against the truth. ¹⁵ This is wisdom coming not down from above, but earthly, natural, resembling an evil spirit. ¹⁶ For where envy and intrigue, there confusion and every bad deed.

¹ And all the assembly will lift up and give their voice; and the people will weep in that night ² And all the children of Israel will murmur against Moses, and against Aaron; and all the assembly will say to them, Would we died in the land of Egypt! or in this desert would that we died! ³ And wherefore does Jehovah bring us to this land to fall by the sword? our wives and our little ones shall be for a prey. Would it not be good for us to turn back to Egypt?

⁷ And they will speak to all the assembly of the sons of Israel, saying, The land which we passed over upon it to search it out, a good land exceedingly, exceedingly, ⁸ If Jehovah delight in us, and he brought us to this land, and he gave it to us; a land which it flowing with milk and honey. ⁹ But against Jehovah ye shall not rebel, and ye shall not be afraid of the people of the land; for they our bread: for their shadow removed from them and Jehovah with us; ye shall not be afraid of them.

⁸ O Jehovah, guide me into thy justice, for sake of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

⁸ Good and upright is Jehovah: for this he will teach the sinning in the way. ⁹ He will cause the humble to trend in judgment, and he will teach the humble the way.

¹² Who this man fearing Jehovah? he will teach him in the way he shall choose.

¹¹ Teach me, O Jehovah, thy way, and lead me in a path of straitness for sake of those pressing me.

⁶ In all thy ways know him, and he will make straight thy paths.

⁹ All of them straight to him understanding, and right to those finding knowledge.

⁵ Thorns, snares, in the way of the perverse one: he watching his soul shall be far from them.

¹³ The slothful one said, A lion without; I shall be slain in the midst of the broad places.

¹³ The slothful one said, A lion in the way; a lion between the broad places.

²¹ And thine ears shall hear the word from after thee, saying, This the way, go ye in it when ye shall turn to the right, and when ye shall turn to the left

⁸ And a highway was there, and a way, and it shall be called to it, A way of holiness; the unclean one shall not pass through it; and it is for them; he going the way, and the foolish shall not err.

¹⁴ And he shall say, Lift ye up, lift ye up; clear the way, take up the stumbling block out of the way of my people.

¹² Honor thy father and thy mother, so that thy days shall be prolon upon the land which Jehovah thy gave to thee.

³ Ye shall fear each his mother and his father, and my Sabbaths ye shall watch: I am Jehovah your God.

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.

⁹ And now thou shalt not let him go unpunished; for thou a wise man, and thou knowest what thou wilt do to him; and bring down his gray hairs with blood to hades

⁷ And it will be when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, and he will rejoice greatly, and say, Blessed Jehovah this day who gave to David a wise son over this great people.

¹⁵ My son, if thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine. ¹⁶ And my reins shall exult in the speaking of thy lips uprightnesses.

²² Hear to thy father that begat thee, and thou shalt not despise thy mother when growing old.

³ A man loving wisdom will gladden his father: and he feeding harlots shall destroy riches.

¹⁷ The eye shall mock to his father, and despise to obey the mother, the ravens of the valley shall bore it out and the sons of the eagle shall eat it

²² And ye know his proof, that, as a child to a father, he served with me in the good news.

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

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

²³ As laughter to the foolish one, to do mischief: and wisdom is to the man of understanding.

¹² He wanting heart despised for his neighbor: and a man of understanding will be silent.

⁹ The foolish will mock at guilt: and between the upright acceptance.

¹⁶ The wise one feared and departed from evil: and the foolish overflowing, and being confident .

¹⁸ As a madman casting fiery darts, arrows and death, ¹⁹ So the man deceiving his neighbor and saying, Am I not sporting?

¹⁵ See therefore how ye walk accurately, not as unwise, but as wise,

¹³ Who wise and knowing among you? let him show out of a good mode of life his works in meekness of wisdom.

¹⁴ In no guidance the people will fall: and salvation in a multitude of counseling.

¹⁸ The purpose shall be prepared by counsel, and with guidance make war.

⁶ To every inclination there is time and judgment; for man's evil is great upon him.

¹⁴ From the fruit of the mouth a man shall be satisfied with good: and the reward of the hands of a man shall be good to him.

¹³ Lips of justice the acceptance of kings; and he will love the word of the upright

²⁶ He shall kiss the lips turning back right words.

¹ To all a season, and a time to every inclination under the heavens:

¹¹ Thou wilt cause me to know the way of life: abundance of joys with thy face; favors in thy right hand forever.

²⁴ And see if the way of pain is in me, and guide me in the eternal way.

¹⁸ For her house sunk down to death, and her tracks to the shades.

⁵ Her feet go down to death; her steps will hold fast to hades.

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

⁸ Thou shalt not reprove him mocking, lest he shall hate thee: reprove to the wise one and he will love thee.

¹⁴ Thou shalt strike him with the rod, and thou shalt deliver his soul from hades.

⁸ And to this people thou shalt say, Thus said Jehovah, Behold me giving before your face the way of life and the way of death.

¹⁴ For strait the gate and afflicted the way leading into life, and few are they finding it.

⁶ Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, except by me.

²⁰ For our citizenship is in the heavens; from whence we also expect the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

¹ If therefore ye be risen with Christ, seek things above, where Christ is sitting on the right hand of God. ² Think of things above, and not upon those upon the earth.

¹⁷ For Jehovah your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords; the great, the strong, and the fearful God, who will not lift up faces, and will not take a gift. ¹⁸ He did the judgment of the orphan and the widow, and he loved the stranger to give to him bread and a garment

¹⁴ Thou shalt not remove the boundary of thy neighbor which they at first set bounds in thine inheritance which thou shalt inherit in the land which Jehovah thy God gave to thee to inherit it.

¹¹ Scatter the overflowings of thine anger, and see every proud one and bring him low. ¹² See every proud one, and humble him; and crush the unjust in their place. ¹³ Hide them in the dust together, and bind their faces in hiding.

¹ To the overseer instruction to David: In the coming of Doeg the Edomite to Saul, and he will say to him, David came to the house of Ahimelech. Why wilt thou boast in evil, thou strong one? the mercy of God is all the day.

⁵ Also God will break thee down forever; he will take thee and sweep thee away from the tent, and root thee up from the land of the living. Silence.

⁵ A father of orphans and a judge of widows, God in his holy habitation. ⁶ God setting the only ones in the house, bringing forth the bound into prosperities, but those turning away dwelt in a dry land.

⁶ If Jehovah is high, and he will see the humble one: and the lofty one he will know from far off.

⁹ Jehovah watched the strangers he will restore the orphan and the widow, and he will overturn the way of the unjust

⁷ The unjust are overthrown, and they are not: and the house of the just shall stand.

¹¹ The house of the unjust shall be destroyed: and the tent of the upright shall flourish.

¹⁰ Thou shalt not remove the old bound; and into the field of the orphans thou shalt not come:

¹² For the day to Jehovah of armies is upon all the haughty and the high, and upon all lifted up; and he was humbled:

²⁰ And when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was strong for pride, he was brought down from the throne of his kingdom, and they took away his honor from him.

²⁷ Religion pure and unpolluted before God and the Father is this, To take a view of the orphans and widows in their pressure, to keep himself free from stain from the world.

⁵ Likewise, ye younger, be subjected to the elders. And all being subject to one another, be wrapped up in humility: for God opposes the proud, and gives grace to the humble.

¹⁴ The saying of my mouth and the meditation of my heart shall be for acceptance before thee, O Jehovah, my rock and my redeemer.

³⁰ The mouth of the just one shall speak wisdom, and his tongue shall speak judgment ³¹ The law of his God is in his heart, and his goings shall not waver.

¹⁶ These six Jehovah hated, and seven an abomination of his soul: ¹⁷ Eyes being lifted up; a tongue of falsehood, and hands shedding innocent blood, ¹⁸ A heart fabricating purposes of iniquity; feet being quick to run to evil, ¹⁹ A witness of falsehood, breathing out lies, and sending strife between brethren.

⁹ The purpose of folly is sin, and he mocking, an abomination to man.

¹⁴ O Jerusalem, wash from evil to thy heart so that thou shalt be saved. How long shall purposes of thy vanity lodge in the midst of thee?

³⁴ O generation of vipers! how can ye speak good things, being evil? for out of the abundance of the heart the month speaks. ³⁵ The good man, out of the good treasure of the heart, casts forth good things: and the evil man, out of the evil treasure, casts forth evil things. ³⁶ And I say to you, That every idle word which men speak, they shill return word for it in the day of judgment. ³⁷ For by thy words shalt thou be justified, and by thy words shalt thou be condemned.

¹⁹ For from the heart come forth evil reflections, slaughters, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, defamations:

²¹ And thou shalt look out from all the people men of ability, fearing God, men of truth, men hating gain; and set thou over them chiefs of thousands, chiefs of hundreds, chiefs of fifties, and chiefs of ten.

⁸ And thou shalt not take a gift; for the gift will blind the seeing, and will pervert just words.

²⁶ And thou shalt not bring an abomination to thy house, and thou be devoted to destruction like it: abhorring, thou shalt abhor it, and abominating, thou shalt abominate it, for it is devoted to destruction.

¹⁹ Thou shalt not turn away Judgment; thou shalt not look upon and thou shalt not take a gift, for the gift will blind the eyes of the wise and will pervert the words of the just.

¹⁸ And ye, watch ye from the devoted thing lest ye shall be devoted, and ye take from the devoted thing and ye set the camp of Israel to be devoted, and ye troubled it.

¹¹ Israel sinned and also passed by my covenant which I commanded them: and also they took from the devoted thing, and also stole, and also lied, and also put in their vessels. ¹² And the sons of Israel shall not be able to rise up before their enemies; they will turn the neck before their enemies for they were for a devoted thing: I will not add to be with you if ye ill not destroy the devoted thing from the midst of you.

²⁴ And Joshua will take Achan, the son of Zerah, and the silver and the wide cloak, and the tongue of gold, and his sons and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep and his tent, and all which is to him, and all Israel with him, and they will bring them up to the valley of Achor. ²⁵ And Joshua will say, Why didst thou trouble us? Jehovah will trouble thee in this day, and all Israel will stone him with stone, and they will burn them in fire, and they will stone them with stones.

³ And his sons went not in his way, and they will incline after plunder, and they will take a gift, and they will turn away from judgment. ⁴ And all the old men of Israel will gather together and will come to Samuel to Ramah; . ⁵ And they will say to him, Behold, thou wert old, and thy sons went not in thy ways: now set up for us a king to judge us as all the nations.

²⁷ And the leprosy of Naaman shall cleave upon thee and upon thy seed forever. And he will go forth from his face being leprous as snow.

¹⁹ So the ways of every one plundering plunder; he will take the soul of those possessing it.

¹⁹ So justice to life, and he pursuing evil, to his death.

²⁹ He troubling his house shall inherit wind: and the foolish is servant to the wise of heart

²¹ An inheritance greedily gotten in the beginning; and its latter state shall not be

¹⁶ A prince wanting understanding and great in oppressions: he hating gain shall lengthen the days.

⁴ A king in judgment shall establish the land: and a man of presents shall overthrow it

⁸ Wo to those touching house upon house, they will bring near field upon field, till no more place, and ye dwelt yourselves alone in the midst of the earth. ⁹ In the ears of Jehovah of armies, If not many houses shall be for desolation, great and good from none dwelling. ¹⁰ For ten measures of a vineyard shall make one bath, and the seed of an omer shall make an ephah.

¹⁵ He going in justice and speaking uprightness, rejecting in the plunder of oppression; shaking his hands from holding upon a gift, shutting his ear from the hearing of bloods, and binding up his eyes from looking upon evil; ¹⁶ He shall dwell upon heights: the strongholds of rocks his height: his bread was given; his waters sure.

¹¹ The partridge brooded and she brought not forth; to make riches and not in judgment, he shall leave them in the half of his days, and in his latter part he shall be foolish.

⁹ Wo! to him plundering an evil plunder to his house, to set his nest on high, to deliver from the hand of evil. ¹⁰ Thou wilt counsel shame to thy house, cutting off many peoples, and causing thy soul to sin. ¹¹ For the stone from the wall shall cry out, and the cross-beam from the wood shall answer it.

³ And he will say to me, This the curse going forth upon the face of all the earth: for every one stealing from thence was empty like it; and every one swearing from this was empty like it ⁴ I brought it forth, says Jehovah of armies, and it came into the house of the thief, and into the house of him swearing for falsehood in my name: and it lodged in the midst of his house, and it finished it and its wood and its stones.

²³ And the king will say, This says, My son the living, and thy son the dead; and this says, Nay; for thy son the dead, and my son the living. ²⁴ And the king will say, Take to me a sword. And they will bring the sword before the king. ²⁵ And the king will say, Divide the living child in two, and ye shall give the half to the one, and the half to the other. ²⁶ And the woman to whom the living son, will say to the king, for her bowels were warm upon her son, and she will say, With leave, my lord, ye shall give to her the living child, and slaying, ye shall not slay him. And this said, It shall not be even to me, even to thee; divide it ²⁷ And the king will answer and say, Ye shall give to her the living child, and slaying, ye shall not slay it: she is his mother. ²⁸ And all Israel will hear the judgment which the king judged, and they will be afraid of the face of the king, for they saw that the wisdom of Jehovah was in the midst of him to do judgment

¹⁹ In the multitude of words transgression shall not cease: and he withholding his lips is prudent

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

¹¹ The foolish one will bring forth all his spirit; and the wise one will restrain it back.

²⁰ Thou sawest a man hasty in his words: hope to the foolish one more than to him.

² Thou shalt not hasten with thy mouth, and thy heart shall not be quick to bring forth a word to the face of God: for God is in the heavens, and thou upon the earth: for this thy words shall be few.

⁶ Thou shalt not give thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; and thou shalt not say to the face of the messenger that it is an error: wherefore shall God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?

¹² The words of the wise one's mouth, grace; and the lips of the foolish one shall swallow him down. ¹³ The beginning of the words of his mouth, folly: and the latter state of his mouth the folly of evil. ¹⁴ And the foolish one will multiply words: man shall not know what shall be; and what shall be after him, who shall announce to him?

¹⁰ For many also are disorderly, vain talkers and infatuates, especially they of the circumcision: ¹¹ Who must be restrained, who subvert whole houses, teaching what they ought not, for the sake of sordid gain.

⁶ (And the tongue a fire, a world of iniquity: so the tongue is placed in our members, defiling the whole body, and burning the wheel of creation; and burned by hell. ⁷ For every nature of beasts, and also of birds, of creeping things, and also of things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by the nature of man: ⁸ And the tongue none of men can tame; an ungovernable evil, full of deadly poison.

¹⁵ And consecrate the Lord God in your hearts: and being ready always for a justification to every one asking you the word of the hope in you with meekness and fear:

¹⁸ For speaking excessive things of vanity, they decoy with the eager desires of the flesh, for licentiousness, them having truly escaped from those turned back in error.

¹ Wherefore, O Jehovah, wilt thou stand afar off? wilt thou hide for times in straits?

⁴¹ They will cry and none saving: to Jehovah, and he answered them not

¹⁵ The eyes of Jehovah upon the just, and his ears to their cries. ¹⁶ The face of Jehovah against those doing evil, to cut off their remembrance from the earth. ¹⁷ They cried and Jehovah heard, and he delivered them from all their straits.

¹⁸ If I saw vanity in my heart, Jehovah will not hear. ¹⁹ Surely God heard; he attended upon the voice of my prayer.

²⁷ For behold, they being far off from thee shall perish: thou didst lay waste all committing fornication from thee.

¹⁸ Jehovah is near to all calling upon him, to all who shall call upon him in truth. ¹⁹ He will do the desire of them fearing him, and he will hear their cry and he will save them.

⁸ The sacrifice of the unjust an abomination of Jehovah: and the prayer of the upright his acceptance.

⁸ For not my purposes your purposes and not your ways my ways, says Jehovah ⁹ As the heavens were high above the earth, so my ways were high above your ways, and my purposes above your purposes.

⁴⁶ And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: and the just into eternal life.

³¹ And we know that God hears not the sinful: but if any be godly, and do his will, this he hears.

²⁶ And likewise also the Spirit takes hold together, and assists our weaknesses: for what we would pray for as we ought, we know not, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings. ²⁷ And he searching hearts knows what the thought of the Spirit, for according to God he supplicates for the holy ones.

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.

¹⁶ Acknowledge your faults to one another, and pray for one another, that ye might be healed. The prayer of the just, being energetic, is very powerful. ¹⁷ Elias was a man having similar feelings with us, and in prayer he prayed for it not to rain: and it rained not upon the earth for three years and six months. ¹⁸ And again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth shot forth her fruit.

¹² For the eyes of the Lord upon the just, and his ears to their prayer: and the face of the Lord against them doing evil.

⁸ And now for a little moment grace was from Jehovah our God to leave to us an escaping, and to give to us a nail in his holy place, for our God to enlighten our eyes and to give us a little preservation of our life in our servitude.

¹⁵ Happy the people knowing the shout of joy: O Jehovah, they shall go in the light of thy face.

⁸ It shall be healing to thy sinews, and moistening to thy bones.

⁹ The light of the just shall rejoice: and the lamp of the unjust shall be quenched.

²⁵ Cold waters to the fainting soul, and a good message from a land far off.

⁷ And the light is sweet, and good to the eyes to see the sun:

¹¹ And Jehovah led thee continually, and he satisfied thy soul in dry places, and he will make thy bones strong: and thou wed as a watered garden, and as a spring of water which its waters shall not deceive.

¹⁰ And the messenger said to them, Fear not : for, behold, I announce you good news, great joy, which shall be to all people. ¹¹ For this day a Saviour was born to you, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. ¹² And this the sign to you; ye shall find the babe swathed, lying in a manger. ¹³ And suddenly was there a multitude with the messenger of the heavenly army praising God, and saying, ¹⁴ Glory to God in the highest ones, and upon earth peace, benevolence in men. ¹⁵ And it was when the messenger departed from them into heaven, and the men, the shepherds, said to one another, Let us pass through now to Bethlehem, and see this word done,which the Lord made known to us. ¹⁶ And having hastened, they came and found both Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. ¹⁷ And having seen, they made known concerning the word spoken to them about the child. ¹⁸ And all having heard wondered at the things spoken to them by the shepherds. ¹⁹ And Mary kept together all these sayings, reflecting in her heart.

²³ And the city has no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they shine in her: for the glory of God enlightened her, and her light the Lamb.

⁵ And night shall not be there; and they have no need of a lamp, and the light of the sun; for the Lord God shall enlighten them: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

⁸ Thou shalt not reprove him mocking, lest he shall hate thee: reprove to the wise one and he will love thee. 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.

²⁰ He going with the wise, and he is wise: and the companion of the foolish shall become evil.

⁵ The foolish will deride his father's instruction: and he watching reproof will be crafty.

³ Incline your ear, and come to me, and hear, and your soul shall live; and I will cut out with you an eternal covenant, the sure mercies of David.

³ Already are ye clean, through the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it remain not in the vine; so neither ye, if ye remain not in me.

¹⁹ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they had remained with us, but, that they might be manifested, that they are not all of us.

¹⁸ If there shall be to a man a son stubborn and rebellious, he not hearing to the voice of his father and to the voice of his mother, and they chastised him, and he will not hear to them:

²⁰ And they said to the old men of of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he heard not to our voice; he is vile, and drinking to excess.

¹⁷ And thou hatedst instruction, and thou wilt cast my words behind thee.

⁷ The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge: the foolish despised wisdom and instruction.

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 ³² For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the error of the foolish shall destroy them. ³³ And he hearing to me shall dwell in confidence, and being quiet from fear of evil.

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.

³³ Hear ye instructions, and be wise, and ye shall not reject it ³⁴ Happy the man hearing to me, to watch at my doors day, day; to watch the door posts of my entrances. ³⁵ For he finding me, the finding of life, and he shall bnng forth acceptance from Jehovah. ³⁶ And he sinning against me did violence to his soul: all hating me loved death.

¹⁴ The heart of him understanding will seek knowledge: and the face of the foolish will feed folly.

²¹ Folly is joy to him wanting heart: and the man of understanding will make straight to go.

¹⁶ Wherefore this a price in the hand of the foolish one to obtain wisdom, and no heart?

¹ A Man of reproofs hardening the neck, shall be suddenly broken, and no healing.

⁵ For what shall ye be yet struck? will ye add apostasy? every head for sickness, and every heart sick

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.

²⁴ Therefore, every one which hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a discerning man which built his house upon the rock. ²⁵ And the rain descended, and rivers came, and winds blew, and fell upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded upon the rock. ²⁶ And every one hearing these my words and doing them not, shall be likened to a foolish man, which built his house upon sand. ²⁷ And the rain descended, and rivers came, and winds blew and struck upon that house, and it fell, and great was its fall.

¹⁵ Observing narrowly lest any be failing of the grace of God: lest any root of bitterness springing forth aloft give trouble, and by this many be defiled;

²² And be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

¹⁹ I, if as many as I love, I rebuke and correct: be emulous therefore, and repent.

¹¹ Come, ye sons, hear to me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.

¹³ The fear of Jehovah hates evil: pride and haughtiness, and the evil way, and the mouth of perverseness I hated.

¹² Before a breaking a man's heart will be lifted up, and before honor, humility.

⁶ Thou shalt not show thyself proud before the king, and thou shalt not stand in the place of the great. ⁷ For good to say to thee, Come up hither, rather than humbling thyself before the noble whom thine eye saw.

²³ A man's pride shall bring him low: and honor shall uphold him humble of spirit

¹¹ For whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and he humbling himself shall be exalted.

⁵ For let this be in mind among you, which also in Christ Jesus; ⁶ Who, being in the form of God, thought not robbery to be equal to God ⁷ But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, born in the likeness of men: ⁸ And found in fashion as man, he humbled himself, being obedient until death, and the death of the cross. ⁹ Wherefore God has also exceedingly exalted him, and favored him as a gift with a name above every name: ¹⁰ That in the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of the heavenlies, and of terrestrial things, and things under earth ¹¹ And every tongue should avow that the Lord is Jesus Christ, to the glory of the Father.

¹⁰ Be ye humbled before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
