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

⁴ Not for kings, O Lemuel, not for kings to drink and for princes the desire of strong drink:

¹⁰ Is there a word will be said, See, this is new? This was already to a long time which was before us.

⁴ When thou shalt vow a vow to God, thou shalt not delay to repay it; for there is no desire in the foolish: repay what thou shalt vow. ⁵ Good that thou shalt not vow rather than thou shalt vow and not requite. 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?

²⁰ For not a just man in the earth, who shall do good and not sin.

²⁸ Which yet my soul sought, and found not; one man from a thousand I found; and a woman in all these I found not

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 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and thy heart shall do thee good in the days of thy youth, and go in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: and know thou, that for all these God will bring thee into judgment

⁹ And besides, the preacher was wise; he yet taught the people knowledge; and he gave ear, and sought out, setting in order many parables. ¹⁰ The preacher sought to find words: of delight: and that written was straight, words of truth. ¹¹ The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails planted of the masters of the gatherings; they were given from one shepherd.

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

⁶ Against a polluted nation will I send him, and upon a people of my outpouring will I command him to spoil a spoil and to plunder a plunder, and to set them a treading down as the clay of the streets. ⁷ And he will not thus purpose, and his heart will not reckon thus; for in his heart to destroy and to cut off nations not few.

⁵ And the throne was set up in mercy: and he sat upon it in truth in the tent of David, judging and seeking judgment, and hastening justice.

⁹ Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob shall be expiated; and this all the fruit to remove his sin; in his setting all the stones of the altar as stones of lime broken in pieces, the statues and images shall not stand up.

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.

²⁷ For the fennel flower shall not be beaten with the threshing sledge, and the wheel of a wagon shall not be turned about upon the cummin; for the fennel flower shall be beaten out with the rod and the cummin with the rod. ²⁸ Bread shall be beaten small; for threshing, he will not forever thresh it; and the wheel of his wagon he put in motion and his horsemen shall not beat it small.

¹ Behold, a king shall reign for justice, and for chiefs they shall rule for judgment

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;

³¹ And they waiting for Jehovah shall change power; they shall go up on the wing as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall go and not faint.

⁵ And he being wounded for our transgressions, and crushed from our iniquities; the correction of our peace upon him, and in the marks of his stripes it was healed to us.

¹² Come ye, I will take wine, and we will drink strong drink to excess; and the morrow being as this day, the remainder great exceedingly.

¹ Run ye to and fro in the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in her broad places, if ye shall find a man, if there is he doing judgment, seeking faithfulness; and I will pardon to her.

²³ Thus said Jehovah, The wise shall not boast in his wisdom, and the strong shall not boast in his strength; the rich shall not boast in his riches: ²⁴ But he boasting shall boast in this, to understand and know me, that I am Jehovah, doing mercy, judgment and justice in the earth: for in these I delighted, says Jehovah.

²³ I knew, O Jehovah, that not to man his way; not to man to go and set right his step.

³⁹ And I gave to them one heart and one way, to fear me all the days, for good to them and to their sons after them.

¹⁵ He filled me with bitternesses, he gave me wormwood to drink ¹⁶ He will break my teeth with gravel stones, he covered me with ashes.

²⁵ Good Jehovah to those waiting for him, to the soul that will seek him. ²⁶ Good, and he shall wait and stand still for the salvation of Jehovah.

¹⁰ A just balance, and a just ephah, and a just bath, shall be to you.

²³ And against the Lord of the heavens thou didst lift up thyself; and for the vessels of his house they brought before thee, and thou and thy nobles, and thy wives, and thy concubines, drinking wine in them; and to the gods of silver and gold, brass, iron, wood, and stone, who see not, and hear not, and know not, thou didst praise: and to the God whom thy breath in his hand, and all thy ways to him, thou didst not honor.

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

⁵ The day of our king the chiefs began anger from wine; stretching forth his hand with mockers.

¹⁰ They shall go after Jehovah: as a lion shall he roar: for he shall roar, and the sons of the waters shall tremble.

⁷ Canaan in his hand, the balances of deceit: he loved to oppress.

⁷ Canaan in his hand, the balances of deceit: he loved to oppress. ⁸ And Ephraim will say, Surely I became rich, I found to me wealth: all my labors shall not be found to me iniquity which was sin.

⁸ The lion roared, who shall not be afraid? the Lord Jehovah spake, who shall not prophesy?

⁴ Hear this, ye, panting after the needy, to cause the humble of the, land to cease. ⁵ Saying, When will the month pass through, and we will sell grain? and the Sabbath, and we will open wheat to diminish the ephah, and to enlarge the shekel, and to make crooked the balance of deceit?

⁵ Saying, When will the month pass through, and we will sell grain? and the Sabbath, and we will open wheat to diminish the ephah, and to enlarge the shekel, and to make crooked the balance of deceit? ⁶ To buy the poor with silver, and the needy for shoes; and we will sell the refuse of the grain. ⁷ Jehovah sware by the pride of Jacob, If I will forget forever all their works.

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.

¹⁰ Are there yet treasures of injustice in the house of the unjust, and the ephah of leanness being cursed? ¹¹ Shall I make clean with the balances of injustice, and with the bag of stones of deceit?

² The merciful one perished from the earth, and none upright among men: they all will lie in wait for bloods; they will hunt each his brother with a net.

⁶ Shall not these all of them lift up a parable against him, and an enigma of an oracle against him, and it shall be said, Wo! to him multiplying that not to him. how long making heavy upon him goods taken in pledge?

¹⁰ Thou wilt counsel shame to thy house, cutting off many peoples, and causing thy soul to sin.

¹⁵ Wo! to him giving his neighbor drink, pouring out thy leathern bottle, and also to be drunken so as to look upon their nakedness. ¹⁶ Thou wert satisfied with dishonor rather than honor: drink thou also and be uncircumcised: the cup of the right hand of Jehovah shall turn upon thee, and ignominy upon thy glory.

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.

² If ye will not hear and if ye will not set upon your heart to give honor to my name, said Jehovah of armies, and I sent a curse upon you, and I cursed your blessings, and also I cursed it for your not setting upon the heart.

⁸ Will man defraud God? For ye defraud me. And ye said, In what did we defraud thee? The tenths and the offerings. ⁹ Ye are cursed with a curse: and ye defrauded me, the nation all of it ¹⁰ Bring ye all the tenths to the house of treasure, and food shall be in my house, and try me now in this, said Jehovah of armies, if I will not open to you the lattices of the heavens, and empty out to you a blessing, even is it not a sufficiency.

³³ Again, ye have heard, that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not swear a false oath, and thou shalt. return to the Lord thine oaths.

³⁹ But I say to you not to resist evil: but whosoever shall smite thee with a rod upon thy right cheek, turn to him also the other.

² When therefore thou doest alms, thou shouldst not sound the trumpet before thee, as hypocrites do in the assemblies, and in the streets, that they might be praised by men. Verily I say to you, They have their reward.

¹⁶ By their fruits shall ye know them. Far from it, do they gather grapes from thorns, or figs from caltrops

¹³ For this I speak to them in parables: for seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 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. ¹⁶ But happy your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

⁴ For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, he calumniating father or mother, in death let him die.

¹³ Then said the king to his servants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him away, and cast ye him into outer darkness; weeping shall be there, and gnashing of teeth.

³ Those foolish having taken their lanterns, took no oil with them. ⁴ And the discerning took oil in their vessels with their lanterns. ⁵ And the bridegroom delaying, they all slumbered and slept. ⁶ And in the middle of the night there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go ye forth to his meeting. ⁷ Then all these virgins were aroused, and put their lanterns in order. ⁸ And the foolish said to the discerning, Give us of your oil; for our lights are quenched.

⁸ And the foolish said to the discerning, Give us of your oil; for our lights are quenched. ⁹ And the discerning answered, saying, Lest it should not suffice us and you: but go ye rather to those selling, and buy for yourselves. ¹⁰ And they, going to buy, the bridegroom came; and they prepared, went in with him to the nuptials; and the door was locked.

²⁴ And he also having received one talent, having come near, said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou sowedst not, and gathering where thou scatteredst not: ²⁵ And having been afraid, having gone away, I concealed thy talent in the earth; see, thou hast thine own. ²⁶ And his lord having answered, said to him, O evil and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I scattered not: ²⁷ Thou therefore oughtest to have cast my silver to the money changers, and I having come, had received mine own, with interest ²⁸ Therefore take the talent away from him, and give him having ten talents.

¹⁰ For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and he reviling father or mother, in death let him die: ¹¹ And ye say, If a man say to father or mother, Corban, which is, a gift, whatever thou be profited by me; ¹² And ye permit him to do nothing more for his father or his mother ¹³ Abrogating the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.

⁶ And they were both just before God, going faultless in all the commands and precepts of the Lord.

¹⁵ For he shall be great before the Lord, and wine and fermented liquor he should not drink; and with the Holy Spirit shall he be filled, even from his mother's womb.

⁶⁶ And all having heard, set in their heart, saying, What then shall this child be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.

⁴⁶ And it was after three days they found him in the temple, sitting, in the midst of teachers, and bearing them, and inquiring of them. ⁴⁷ And all hearing him were affected in mind at his understanding and answers.

⁴³ For it is not a good tree making decayed fruit; neither a decayed tree making good fruit. ⁴⁴ For each tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns they gather not figs, nor of the bramble do they harvest the grape.

³¹ Or what king, going to fight with another king in war, not, having sat down first, consults, if he be able with ten thousand to meet him coming with twenty thousand against him?

⁸ I say to you, that he will do their avenging swiftly. But the Son of man having come, shall he find faith upon earth

¹¹ The Pharisee having stood, prayed these to himself, O God, I return thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or also as this publican.

²⁸ And Peter said, Behold, we have left all, and followed thee.

³³ And he said to him, Lord, with thee am I ready to go, and to prison, and to death.

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and he says of him, Behold truly an Israelite, in whom is no deceit!

³⁹ For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all afar off, as many as the Lord our God should call.

²⁸ For in him we live, and move, and are; as certain of the composers among you have said, For we also are his race.

¹⁸ To open their eyes, to turn them back from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, fur them to receive remission of sins, and inheritance with the consecrated by faith in me.

¹⁵ Which show the work of the law Written in their hearts, their consciousness testifying together, and between one another thoughts accusing or also excusing;)

¹⁴ How then shall they call upon whom they believed not? and how shall they believe whom they heard not? and how shall they hear without him proclaiming? ¹⁵ And how shall they proclaim, except they be sent? as has been written, How beautiful the feet of them announcing good news, peace, of them announcing good things!

¹¹ In study not slothful; boiling in the spirit; serving the Lord;

¹⁷ Giving hack evil for evil to none. Providing good things before all men. ¹⁸ If possible of you, living peaceably with all men. ¹⁹ Avenging not yourselves, beloved, but give ye place to anger: for it has been written, Vengeance to me; I will repay, says the Lord.

¹¹ And this, knowing the time, that already the hour ye should be awakened out of sleep: for now our salvation nearer than when we believed.

¹⁸ For such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by specious language and praise completely deceive the hearts of the innocent.

¹¹ For who of men knows the things of men except the spirit of man in him? so also the things of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God.

⁴ For I know nothing by myself; but in this I have not been justified: and he examining me is the Lord.

¹⁰ Nor thieves; nor covetous, nor intoxicated, nor railers, nor rapacious, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

³⁴ Recover your senses rightly, and in not; for some have a want of knowledge of God: I speak to your confusion.

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.

² But have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craft, neither adulterating the word of God; but by manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves to every consciousness of man before God. ³ And if also our good news is hid, in the lost is it hid: 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. ⁵ For we proclaim not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus. ⁶ For God, having spoken light to shine out of darkness, who shone in our hearts, to the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

¹¹ I have been mad boasting; ye forced me: for I ought to have been recommended by you: for I was not greatly inferior to the sent, if also I am nothing.

²¹ Envyings, slaughters, drunkenness, revelries, and the like: to these which I foretell you, as I have also said before, that they doing such shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

⁶ To the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he rendered us acceptable in the beloved. ⁷ In whom we have redemption by his blood, the letting go of faults, according to the riches of his grace; ⁸ In which he abounded to us in all wisdom and intelligence;

¹⁷ That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, might give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in his knowledge: ¹⁸ The eyes of your understanding enlightened; for you to know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the holy ones,

²⁹ Let not any foul word go out of your mouth, but if any good to the building of necessity, that it might give grace to them hearing.

³² And be ye kind one to another, having good bowels, favoring each other, as also God in Christ Jesus favored you.

¹⁴ Wherefore he says, Awake, who sleeping, and arise from the dead, and Christ will enlighten thee.

¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit;

⁶ Not to pass over and have the advantage over his brother in business: because the Lord just for all these, as we told you before and testified.

¹⁵ See that any return not evil to any: but always pursue good to one another, and to all.

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

⁹ And they wishing to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many eager desires, unwise and hurtful, which sink men into ruin and perdition.

¹¹ For the grace of God who saves, was manifested to all men, ¹² Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and eager worldly desires, we should live discreetly, and justly, and religiously, in the time now;

¹² For the word of God living, and effective, and more piercing than any two-mouthed sword, and penetrating even to the division both of soul and spirit, both the joints and marrows, and a critic of the reflections and thoughts of the heart. ¹³ And there is no creation invisible before him: and all things naked and exposed, neck and face to view, to the eyes of him with whom to us is the word.

²⁵ Having chosen rather to be treated ill with the people of God, than to have the enjoyment of sin for a time;

¹⁰ For they truly for a few days, according as it seemed to them, corrected; but he for profit, in order to partake in his holiness.

² For in many things we all stumble. If any stumble not in word, this a perfect man, able to govern by a bridle also the whole body.

¹⁴ And if ye have bitter envy and intrigue in your heart, boast not, and lie not against the truth.

¹ Whence wars and fights among you? are they not hence, out of your sensual pleasures making war in your members

²³ Who, being reviled, reviled not back; suffering, he threatened not; and delivered to him judging justly;

⁹ Not returning evil for evil, or railing for railing: and on the contrary prayer; knowing that to this were ye called, that ye might inherit praise.

¹⁹ Therefore let them also suffering according to the will of God commit their souls in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.

⁵ And also this same, having brought in at the side all earnestness, furnish in addition in your faith fitness; and In fitness knowledge; ⁶ And in knowledge self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience devotion; ⁷ And in devotion brotherly love; and in brotherly love, love. ⁸ For these being to you, and abounding, they establish you not without effort, neither unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For in whom these are not present, he is blind, being affected with shortness of sight, having taken 2Peter 1:forgetfulness of the cleansing formerly of his sins. ¹⁰ Wherefore rather, brethren, be earnest to have your calling and selection made firm: for doing these, ye should not once stumble: ¹¹ For so shall an entrance be furnished richly to you in addition into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just that he let go sins to us, and cleanse us from all injustice. ¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

¹⁴ I wrote to you, fathers, for ye have known him from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, for ye are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and ye have conquered the evil.

¹⁹ And in this we know that we are of the truth, and we will yield our hearts before him. ²⁰ For if our heart condemn us, for God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. ²¹ Dearly beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have freedom of speech towards God.

³ For I was greatly rejoiced, the brethren coming and testifying to thy truth, as thou walkest about in the truth. ⁴ I have no joy greater than these that I hear my children walking in truth.

¹³ Fierce waves of the sea, foaming out their own shames; wandering stars, to whom the obseurity of darkness has been kept forever.

⁸ But to the cowardly, and unbelieving, and to the abominable, and murderers, and to fornicators, and charmers, and to idolaters, and to all the lying, their part in the lake burning with fire and sulphur: which is the second death,
