The seventh year, the year of remission is drawing near; and thine eye be evil against thy needy brother and thou wilt not give to him; and he call against thee to Jehovah, and it was sin in thee. ¹⁰ Giving, thou shalt give to him, and thy heart shall not be evil in thy giving to him; for because of this word Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thy works, and in all the sending forth of thy hand. ¹¹ For the needy shall not cease from the midst of thy land: for this I command thee, saying, Opening, thou shalt open thy hand to thy brother, to thy afflicted and to thy needy in thy land.

¹ And a cry of the people and their wives will be great against their brethren the Jews. ² And there is which saying, Our sons and our daughters, we being many: and we will take grain and we will eat and live. ³ And there are those saying, Our fields and our vineyards and our houses we pledge, and we will take grain in the famine. ⁴ And there are those saying, We borrowed silver for the king's tribute, our fields and our vineyards. ⁵ And now according to the flesh of our brethren, our flesh; as their sons, our sons: and behold, we subdue our sons and our daughters for servants, and there is from our daughters being subdued: and not to the strength of our hand and our fields and our vineyards to others.

¹³ Also I shook out my arm, and said, Thus God will shake out every man who will not raise up this word from his house and from his labor; so shall he be shaken out and emptied. And all the convocation will say, Amen, and praise Jehovah. And the people did according to this word.

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

⁴ Wrath to them according to the likeness of the wrath of a serpent: as the deaf adder will stop its ear;

²⁸ Then they shall call upon me, and I will not answer; they shall seek me, and shall not find me;

²⁷ He giving to the poor wants not: and he hiding his eyes increased curses.

⁶ Is not this the fast I shall choose? to loose the bands of injustice, to shake off the bundles of the yoke, and to send away the broken free, and ye shall break every yoke? ⁷ Is it not to break thy bread to the hungry, and thou shalt bring the wandering poor to thy house? when thou shalt see the naked and cover him; and thou shalt not hide from thy flesh. ⁸ Then shall thy light break forth as the dawn, and thy healing shall spring forth quickly: and thy justice going before thee; the glory of Jehovah shall gather thee. ⁹ Then shalt thou call and Jehovah will answer; thou shalt cry for help, and he will say, Behold me. If thou shalt take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the extending of the finger, and the word of vanity;

¹⁶ And ye will turn back and pollute my name, and ye will cause to turn back a man his servant and a man his maid, whom ye sent away free to their soul, and ye will subdue them to be to you for servants and for maids ¹⁷ For this, thus said Jehovah, Ye heard not to me to call liberty, a man to his brother and a man to his neighbor behold me calling to you lliberty, says Jehovah, to the sword, to the death and to the famine; and I gave you for agitation to all the kingdoms of the earth.

⁹ Thus said Jehovah of armies, saying. Judge ye the judgment of truth, and do mercy and compassions each to his brother. ¹⁰ And the widow and the orphan, the stranger and the poor, ye shall not oppress; and ye shall not purpose evil in your heart a man to his brother. ¹¹ And they will refuse to attend, and they will give a stubborn shoulder, and their ears they made heavy from hearing. ¹² And their heart they set a diamond from hearing the instruction and the words which Jehovah of armies sent by his spirit by the hand of the former prophets: and there will be great wrath from Jehovah of armies. ¹³ And it will be as he called and they heard not; so they shall call, and I will not hear, said Jehovah of armies:

¹⁴ For if ye let go to men their faults, your Father which in the heavens will also let go to you.

² For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye measure, it shall be repaid to you.

³⁰ . And he would not; but having departed he cast him into prison till he should give back that being owed. ³¹ And his fellow-servants having seen the thing done, were greatly grieved, and having come, made known to their lord all things done. ³² Then his lord, having called him, said unto him, O thou evil servant, I let go to you all that debt since thou besoughtest me: ³³ Oughtest thou not also to pity thy fellow-servant, as I also pitied thee ³⁴ And his lord having become angry, delivered him to the torturers even till he should give back all being owed to him. ³⁵ So also will my heavenly Father do to you, if ye let not go each to his brother from your hearts their falls.

⁴¹ Then shall he say to them from the left, Go away from me, the cursed, into eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his messengers: ⁴² For I was hungry, and ye gave me not to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; ⁴³ I was a stranger and ye brought me not in; naked, and ye put not around me; sick, and in prison, and ye took not a view of me. ⁴⁴ Then shall they answer him, they also saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and attended not to thee? ⁴⁵ Then shall he answer them saying, Inasmuch as ye did not to one of the least of these, ye did not to me. ⁴⁶ And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: and the just into eternal life.

²⁵ From the time when the master of the house should rise up, and shut the door, and ye begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us: and having answered, he will say to you, I know not whence ye are:

⁵⁷ And having cried with a great voice, they held fast their ears, and rushed unanimously upon him,

¹³ For unpropitiated judgment to him not doing mercy; and mercy boasteth against judgment. ¹⁴ And what profit, my brethren, if any say he has faith, and should not have works? can faith save him? ¹⁵ And if a brother or sister be naked, and be failing of daily food, ¹⁶ And any of you say to them, Retire in peace, be ye warmed and be ye fed; and ye give them not things fitting the body; what profit?

²⁰ And ye said, Also behold thy servant Jacob behind us. For he said, I will appease his face with the gift going before me, and after this I will see his face; perhaps he will receive my face.

¹¹ And Israel their father will say to them, If so now, do this; take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels, and carry down to the man a gift of a little balsam, and a little honey and spice and resin, pistacia nuts, and almonds.

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.

⁸ The gift a stone of grace in the, eyes of him possessing it: to all which it shall turn it shall prosper.

²³ The unjust one will take a gift from the bosom to turn, aside the paths of judgment

¹⁶ The gift of a man will enlarge to him, and shall conduct him before the great

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

³ But thou doing alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right does: ⁴ That thine alms might be in secret; and thy Father, who seeing in secret, shall give back to thee openly.

¹² For I shall deliver the poor crying, and the orphan, and none helping to him. ¹³ The praise of him perishing will come upon me, and I shall cause the heart of the widow to rejoice. ¹⁴ I put on justice and it will clothe me: my judgment as an upper garment and a turban. ¹⁵ Eyes was I to the blind one, and feet to the lame was I. ¹⁶ I was a father to the needy, and the contention I knew not I shall search it out ¹⁷ And I shall break the biter's teeth of the evil one, and I shall cast the prey from his teeth.

⁸ To do thine acceptance, O my God, I delighted; and thy law in the midst of my bowels.

¹ Praise ye Jah. Happy the man fearing Jehovah, delighting greatly in his commands..

¹⁶ In thy laws I will delight: I will not forget thy word.

⁹² Unless thy law was my delight I perished in mine affliction.

²⁰ And wherefore, my son, wilt thou wander with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

²⁹ The way of Jehovah is a fortress to the upright one: and destruction to those doing iniquity.

¹² The just one being circumspect for the house of the unjust one: overthrowing the unjust for evil.

¹² I knew that no good is in them, but to rejoice and to do good in his life.

⁵ Thou mettest him rejoicing and doing justice, they shall remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou wert angry; and we shall sin in them of old, and we shall be saved.

²³ And then shall I confess to them that I never knew you. Go away from me, ye working iniqnity.

⁴¹ The Son of man shall send forth his messengers, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and those doing iniquity; ⁴² And they shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall there be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

²⁷ And he will say, I say to you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workmen of iniquity. ²⁸ Weeping shall be there and gnashing of teeth, when ye see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you cast without.

³⁴ Jesus says to them, My food is that I might do the will of him having sent me, and finish his work.

²² For I rejoice in the law of God, according to the man within:

¹⁴ As sheep they were laid in hades; death shall rule over them, and the upright shall come down upon them in the morning; and their rock for falling away in hades from a dwelling to him.

⁵ And those turning to their winding ways, Jehovah will cause them to go with those working iniquity: peace upon Israel.

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.

²⁶ For she cast down many wounded, and the strong all being slain by her. ²⁷ Her house the ways to hades, going down to the chambers of death.

¹⁸ And he knew not that there the shades; her called ones in the depths of hades

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

⁶ And those departing from after Jehovah, and who sought not Jehovah, and asked not for him.

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.

¹ And ye being dead in faults and in sins;

⁴ For impossible for them once enlightened, and having tasted of the heavenly gift, and having partaken of the Holy Spirit, ⁵ And tasted of the good word of God, and powers of the life about to be, ⁶ And having fallen, again to renew to repentance; crucifying to themselves the Son of God, and exposing to ignominy.

²⁶ For we sinning voluntarily after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there is left no more a sacrifice for sins, ²⁷ But a certain terrible expectation of judgment and jealousy of fire, being about to devour the adversaries.

³⁸ And the just one shall live by faith; but if he draw down, my soul is not contented in him.

²¹ For it was better for them not to have known the way of justice, than, having known, to turn back from the holy command delivererd to them. ²² And that of the true proverb has happened to them, The dog having turned back to his own vomit; and the sow having been washed to the rolling of the mire.

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.

¹² These are spots in your loves, feasting together fearlessly, taking care of themselves: clouds wanting water, carried about by winds; decayed trees, unfruitful, twice dead, uprooted;

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,

²⁰ A treasure desired, and oil in the house of the wise one; and the foolish man will swallow it down.

²¹ For the drunkard and the squanderer shall be dispossessed: and slumber shall clothe with rags.

¹³ And not many days after, having gathered all things, the younger son went abroad into a far-off country, and there disposed his property, living in a profligate manner. ¹⁴ And having spent all things, a powerful famine was in that country; and he began to be in want. ¹⁵ And having gone, he was joined to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into the fields to feed swine. ¹⁶ And he eagerly desired to fill his belly with the fruits of the horntree which the swine ate: and none gave to him.

²⁴ And he having called out, said, Father Abraham, pity me, and send Lazarus, that he might dip his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. ²⁵ But Abraham said, Child, remember that thou didst receive thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus likewise evil things: and now here is he comforted, and thou art tormented.

⁶ And she living luxuriously is dead, living.

⁴ Traitors, rash, haughty, devoted to pleasure more than loving God;

⁸ The just one was delivered from straits, and the unjust will come in his stead.

³ For I Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, saving thee: I gave Egypt expiating thee, Cush and Seba instead of thee. ⁴ From that thou wert precious in mine eyes, thou wert honored, and I loved thee: and I will give man instead of thee, and peoples instead of thy soul.

⁴ Surely he lifted up our afflictions, and our griefs he carried them: and we reckoned him to be smitten, struck of God, and afflicted. 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.

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.

¹⁸ For Christ also once suffered for sins, the just one for the unjust, that he might bring us near to God, truly put to death in the flesh, and made alive by the Spirit:

⁶ And saying, Who will give me the wing-feather as a dove? I will fly away and settle down. ⁷ Behold, I will move far off; fleeing away I will lodge in the desert. Silence.

⁵ Wo! to me that I sojourned in Mesech; I dwelt with the tents of Ke dar. ⁶ My soul dwelt much upon it with Him hating peace.

⁹ Good to dwell upon the corner of the roof rather than with a woman of strifes and a house of community.

² Who will give me in the desert a lodging-place of travelers? and I will leave my people and go from them, for they all commit adultery; an assembly of those acting faithlessly.

¹⁵ He swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit it up, and God shall drive it out of his belly.

¹⁸ Turning back the labor, and he shall not swallow down: according to the substance of his exchange and he shall not exult

⁵ Thou wilt set in order a table before me in front of mine enemies: thou madest fat mine head with oil; my cup being satisfied with drink.

³ Wealth and riches in his house, and his justice stands forever.

²² The blessing of Jehovah it will make rich, and it will not add pain with it

⁶ The house of the just much treasure: and in the increase of the unjust the being troubled.

¹⁹ Also every man which God gave to him wealth and riches, and permitted him to eat from it, and to lift up his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this the gift of God himself.

¹¹ Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and a remainder to those seeing the sun.

¹⁹ For laughter they make bread, and wine will gladden the living: and silver will answer with all.

⁸ And ten men were found among them, and they will say to Ishmael, Thou shalt not slay us: for there is to us treasures in the field, wheat and barley and oil and honey. And he will desist and kill them not in the midst of their brethren.

¹⁹ Treasure not up to you treasures upon earth, where moth and gnawing destroy, and thieves dig through and steal: ²⁰ But treasure to you treasures in heaven, where neither moth, nor gnawing destroy; and where thieves dig not through, nor steal.

³ Those foolish having taken their lanterns, took no oil with them. ⁴ And the discerning took oil in their vessels with their lanterns.

⁸ And the foolish said to the discerning, Give us of your oil; for our lights are quenched.

⁴⁵ The good man out of the good treasure of his heart, brings forward the good thing; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart, brings forward the evil thing: for out of the abundance of the heart does his month speak.

¹⁴ And having spent all things, a powerful famine was in that country; and he began to be in want.

¹ And he said to his disciples, A certain man was rich, who had a steward; and he was slandered to him as dispersing his goods.

¹⁹ A certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, being daily splendidly gladdened: ²⁰ And there was a certain beggar, Lazarus by name, who was cast at his gate, having been wounded, ²¹ And eagerly desirous to be fed from crumbs falling from the rich one's table: but also the dogs, coming, licked off his wounds. ²² And it was, the beggar died, and was carried by messengers into Abraham's bosom: and the rich one died also, and was buried; ²³ And in hades, having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham from far off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

⁹ The way of the unjust an abomination of Jehovah: and he will love him pursuing justice.

⁴ The end of humility the fear of Jehovah, riches and honor and life.

¹ Hear to me, ye pursuing justice, seeking Jehovah: look to the rock ye hewed, and at the quarry of the pit ye dug out

³ And we shall know, we shall pursue to know Jehovah: as the morning his going forth was prepared; and he shall come as the rain to us, as the latter rain, the early rain of the earth.

⁶ Happy they hungering and thirsting for Justice: for they shall be filled.

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:

¹⁹ So therefore, let us pursue the things of peace, and the things for the building up for one another.

⁵⁸ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be stable, unmoved, abounding in the work of the Lord always, knowing that our fatigue is not in vain in the Lord.

¹² Not that I have alreaedy attained or have been already perfected: and I pursue, if I also may overtake, for which also I was overtaken by Christ Jesus.

²¹ Try all things; hold the good.

¹¹ And thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow justice, devotion, faith, love, patience, meekness.

²² And flee youthful, eager desires: and follow justice, faith, love, peace, with them calling upon the Lord from a pure heart.

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 Follow peace with all, and consecration, without which none shall see the Lord:

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:

⁶ And the king went, and his men, to Jerusalem to the Jebusite dwelling in the land: and he will say to David, saying, Thou shalt not come here for except thy taking away the blind and the lame, saying, David shall not come in hither. ⁷ And David will take the fastness of Zion: this the city of David. ⁸ And David will say in that day, Every one striking the Jebusite, and shall reach upon the cataract, and the lame and the blind hating David's soul; for this they will say, The blind and the lame shall not come in to the house. ⁹ And David will dwell in the fastness, and he will call it the city of David. And David will build round about from Millo and its house.

¹⁶ And a wise woman will call out of the city, Hear ye, hear ye; say now to Joab, Come near hither and I will speak to you. ¹⁷ And he will draw near to her, and the woman will say, Art thou Joab? and he will say, I. And she will say to him, Hear the words of thy servant And he will say, I hear. ¹⁸ And she will say, saying, They will speak the word in the beginning, saying, They will ask an asking in Abel: and thus they finished. ¹⁹ I peaceful of the faithful of Israel: thou seeking to kill a city and a mother in Israel: wherefore wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah? ²⁰ And Joab will say, Far be it, far be it to me, if I shall swallow up and if I shall destroy. ²¹ Not thus the word; for a man from mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri, his name, lifted up his hand against the king, against David: ye shall give him only, and I will go from the city. And the woman will say to Joab, Behold, his head being cast to thee behind the wall. ²² And the woman will go to all the people in her wisdom: and they will cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri and cast to Joab. And he will strike upon the trumpet, and they will disperse from the city, a man to his tent. And Joab turned back to Jerusalem to the king.

⁵ A wise man is in strength, and a man of knowledge strengthens power.

¹⁹ Wisdom shall strengthen to the wise one more than ten having power which were in the city.

¹³ Also this I saw, the wisdom under the sun, and it was great to me: ¹⁴ A little city, and men in it few; and a great king came against it, and surrounded it, and built against it great entrenchments: ¹⁵ And a poor wise man was found in it, and he delivered the city by his wisdom; and not a man remembered that poor man. ¹⁶ And I said, Wisdom is good above strength: and the wisdom of the poor one was despised, and his words not heard. ¹⁷ The words of the wise being heard in quiet more than the cry of him ruling among the foolish. ¹⁸ Wisdom is good above the instruments of encounter: and one sinning will destroy much good.

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

¹³ In the transgression of the lips is the snare of evil: and the just one shall come forth out of straits.

³ He guarding his mouth, watched his soul: he opening wide his lips, destruction to him.

²⁷ He withholding his words will shew knowledge: I man of understanding is a cool spirit ²⁸ Also the foolish one being silent shall be thought wise: and he shutting his lips, understanding.

²¹ Death and life in the hand of the tongue: and they loving it shall eat its fruit

²⁶ If any among you seem to be religious, bridling not his tongue, but deceiving his heart, the religion of this one vain.

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. ³ Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they should yield to us; and we lead their whole body. ⁴ Behold also ships, being so great, and driven by hard winds, are led by the smallest rudder, wherever the desire of him steering should will. ⁵ So also the tongue is a small member, and vaunts itself. Behold, how great a wood a little fire inflames 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. ⁹ With it we praise the God and Father; and with it we curse men, those made according to the similitude of God. ¹⁰ Out of the same month comes forth blessing and cursing. There is no need, my brethren, for these things so to be. ¹¹ Much less from the same aperture does a fountain bubble out sweet and bitter? ¹² The fig tree, my brethren, cannot make olives, or the vine, figs: so no fountain can make salt and sweet water. ¹³ Who wise and knowing among you? let him show out of a good mode of life his works in meekness of wisdom.

⁵ And Haman will see that Mordecai bowed not, and not worshiping to him, and Haman will be filled with wrath. ⁶ And it will be despised in his eyes to stretch forth the hand against Mordecai alone; for they announced to him the people of Mordecai: and Haman will seek to destroy all the Jews which are in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus, the people of Mordecai.

¹ Happy the man who went not in the counsel of the unjust, and he stood not in the way of the sinful, and sat not in the seat of those scoffing.

²² How long, ye simple, will ye love simplicity? and mockers delight to mock for them, and the foolish hate knowledge?

¹⁸ Pride before a breaking, and a spirit lifted up before a fall

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

²⁹ Judgment was prepared for those mocking, and blows for the back of the foolish.

⁸ Good the last of a word above its beginning: good slowness of spirit above pride of spirit ⁹ Thou shalt not be hastened in thy spirit to be angry, for anger shall rest in the bosom of fools.

⁶ We heard the pride of Moab; he was greatly elated; his haughtiness and his pride and his wrath; not so his empty talk

²⁹ We heard the pride of Moab; he was greatly lifted up; his haughtiness and his pride, and his lifting up, and the elation of his heart

¹⁶ Then Herod, seeing he was deluded by the magi, was very angry, and having sent, destroyed all the children which in Bethlehem, and in all its bounds, from two years and under, according to the time he examined thoroughly of the magi.

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.

²⁴ The hand of the active shall give dominion: and of the slothful one shall be for tribute.

²⁷ The slothful one shall not ensnare his hunting: and the substance of the active man is precious.

¹⁹ The way of the slothful as the cutting of the thorn: and the path of the upright was raised up.

²⁴ The slothful one hiding his hand in the dish, also he will not turn it back to his mouth.

⁴ The slothful one reproaching will not work: he shall ask in harvest, and nothing.

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

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

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

¹⁶ The slothful one is wise in his eyes more than seven turning back a reason.

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:

²⁶ All the day he compassionates and lends; and his seed to be blessed.

⁴² To him asking thee, give thou, and him wishing to borrow from thee, thou shouldst not turn away.

³⁰ And to every one asking thee, do thou give; and from him taking away thy things, re-demand not. ³¹ And as ye wish that men would do to you, and do you to them likewise. ³² And if ye love them loving you, what grace is to you? for also the sinful would love those loving them. ³³ And if ye do good to those doing good to you, what grace is to you? for also the sinful do the same. ³⁴ And if ye lend of whom ye hope to receive back, what grace is to you? for also the sinful lend to the sinful, that they might receive back the like things. ³⁵ But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing back; and your reward shall be much, and ye shall be sons of the Highest; for he is kind to the graceless and evil. ³⁶ Be ye therefore compassionate, as also your Father is compassionate.

³³ Silver or gold, or clothing, of none have I eagerly desired. ³⁴ And ye yourselves know, that to my necessities, and to those being with me, these hands served. ³⁵ I shewed you all things, that so being wearied ye must support the weak, and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that himself said, It is happy to give rather than receive.

⁷ But as ye abound in everything, in faith, and in word, and in knowledge, and in all care, and in love from you to us, that also ye abound in this grace. ⁸ I speak not according to command, but by care of others, trying also the purity of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for you he was in a state of beggary, being rich; that ye in his poverty might be rich.

⁹ (As has been written, He scattered; he gave to the poor: his justice remains forever. ¹⁰ And now he furnishing seed to him sowing, and bread for food, furnish and multiply your sowing-season, and increase the fruits of your justice;) ¹¹ Enriched in everything in all simplicity, which works through us gratitude to God. ¹² For the service of this office is not only filling up the wants of the saints, but also abounding through many thanks to God; ¹³ By the proof of this service honouring God for the subjection of your assent to the good news of Christ, and to the simplicity of mutual participation to them and to all; ¹⁴ And by their prayer for you, longing for you through the exceeding grace of God upon you.

⁵ For neither once in word were we flatterers, as ye know, neither in a pretext of covetousness; God the witness: ⁶ Neither seeking glory of men, nor of you, nor of others, being able to be in weight, as the sent of Christ. ⁷ But we were gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse should cherish her children: ⁸ So longing for you, we are contented to impart to you, not only the good news of God, but also our own souls, because ye are dearly beloved to us. ⁹ For ye remember, brethren, our fatigue and toil: for also working night and day, not to overload any of you, we proclaimed to you the good news of God.

¹² And saying, Now the rovers will come down to me to Gilgal, and I entreated not the face of Jehovah: and I will contain myself, and will bring up a burnt-offering. ¹³ And Samuel will say to Saul, Thou didst foolishly: thou didst not watch the commands of Jehovah thy God which he commanded thee; for now Jehovah prepared thy kingdom for Israel, even for ever.

²¹ And the people will take from the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief devoted to sacrifice to Jehovah thy God in Gilgal. ²² And Samuel will say, Was it pleasing to Jehovah in burnt-offerings and sacrifices as to hear to the voice of Jehovah? Behold, to hear, above a good sacrifice, and to hearken, above the fat of rams. ²³ For the sin of divination, rebellion; and deceit, and the family gods of stubbornness. Because thou didst reject the word of Jehovah, and he will reject thee from being king.

⁸ Not for thy sacrifices will I reprove thee and for thy burnt-offerings, being always before me. ⁹ I will not take a bullock from thy house, from thy fold, he goats. ¹⁰ For to me all the beasts of the forest, the cattle upon a thousand mountains. ¹¹ I knew all the birds of the mountains and the moving things of the field with me. ¹² If I shall hunger I shall not say to thee; for to me the habitable globe, and its fulness. ¹³ Shall I eat the flesh of the strong ones, and shall I drink the blood of goats?

⁹ He turning away his ear from hearing the law, also his prayer is an abomination.

¹¹ For what to me the multitude of your sacrifices? Jehovah will say: I was filled with the burnt-offerings of rams and the fat of fatlings; and I delighted not in the blood of bullocks, and of he lambs and of he goats. ¹² When ye shall come to be seen before me who sought this from your hand to tread my enclosure. ¹³ Ye shall not add to bring gifts of iniquity; incense, this an abomination to me; the new moon and the Sabbath, the calling of the assembly; I shall not be able to bear vanity and restraining. ¹⁴ Your new moons and your appointments my soul hated; they were for a burden upon me; I was wearied to lift up. ¹⁵ And in the spreading forth of your hands I will hide mine eyes from you.; also when ye shall multiply prayer I hear not: your hands were full of blood. ¹⁶ Wash ye, cleanse yourselves: turn away evil from your doings from before mine eyes; leave off the evil;

³ He slaughtering the ox, striking a man; he sacrificing a sheep, broke a dog's neck; he bringing up a gift, swine's blood; he making remembrance of frankincense, praising vanity; also they chose their ways, and in their abominations their soul delighted.

²⁰ Wherefore this to me shall frankincense come from Sheba, and the good cane from a land from far off? your burnt-offerings are not for acceptance, and your sacrifices were not sweet to me.

¹¹ Was this house which my name was called upon it a cave of those breaking down in your eyes? also I, behold, I saw, says Jehovah. ¹² But go now to my place which is in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell there at the first, and see what I did to it from the face of the evil of my people Israel.

²¹ I hated, I rejected your festivals, and I will not smell in your assemblies. ²² For if ye shall bring up to me burnt-offerirgs, and your gifts, I will not delight; and I will not look upon the peace-offerings of your fatlings.

¹³ Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye lock up the kingdom of the heavens before men: for ye come not in yourselves, neither those coming in, permit ye to come in.

¹ Thou shalt not take up a false report: thou shalt not put thy hand with the unjust one to be a witness of wrong.

¹⁶ If a witness of wrong shall rise up against a man to testify apostasy against him; ¹⁷ And the two men to whom is the contention stood before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges who shall be in those days; ¹⁸ And the judges sought out diligently; and behold, a witness of falsehood, the witness of falsehood testified against his brother; ¹⁹ And ye did to him as he purposed to do to his brother: and put away evil from the midst of thee

¹⁹ A witness of falsehood, breathing out lies, and sending strife between brethren.

¹⁹ The lip of truth shall be prepared forever: and the tongue of falsehood while I shall wink.

⁵ A witness of falsehoods shall not be unpunished, and he breathing out lies shall not escape.

⁹ A witness of falsehoods shall not be unpunished, and he breathing out lies shall perish.

¹⁸ A mallet and a sword and an arrow sharpened, the man answering against his neighbor testimony of falsehood.

¹⁵ And they said to her, Thou art mad. And she was strengthened to have it so. And they said, It is his messenger.

¹⁷ Therefore I resolved this, much less did I use levity: or what I resolve, do I resolve according to the flesh, that there be with me yea, yea, and nay, nay ¹⁸ And God faithful, for our word to you was not yea or nay. ¹⁹ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who proclaimed in you by us, by me, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but was yea in him. ²⁰ Forasmuch as the solemn promises of God in him yea, and in him Amen, for glory to God by us.

¹³ And having the same spirit of faith, according to that written, I believed, therefore I spake: and we believe, and therefore we speak;

⁸ Faithful the word, and I wish for thee to be assured of these things, that they having believed God might turn their thoughts to excel in good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

⁵ Would that my ways were directed to watch thy laws!

⁵⁹ I reckoned my ways, and I will turn back my feet to thy testimonies.

⁵ The justice of the blameless shall make straight his way, and in his injustice the unjust shall fall.

¹⁴ Happy the man fearing always: and he hardening his heart shall fall into evil

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

² Lift up thine eyes upon the naked hills and see where thou wert not lain with. Upon the ways thou didst sit for them as the ravens in the desert; and thou wilt defile the land with thy fornications and with thine evil ³ And the showers will be withheld, and the latter rain was not; and the forehead of a woman a harlot was to thee, and thou refusedst to be ashamed.

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.

¹² Were they ashamed when they did abomination? also shaming they will not be ashamed, and they knew not to feel shame: for this they shall fall among the falling: in the time of their reviewing they shall faint, said Jehovah.

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.

²⁸ And he will see and turn back from all his transgressions which he did, living, he shall live; he shall not die.

⁵ And now, thus said Jehovah of armies: Set your hearts upon your ways

⁷ Thus said Jehovah of armies: Set your hearts upon your ways.

¹⁵ And now, set now your heart from this day and upward, before setting stone upon stone in the temple of Jehovah.

¹⁸ Set now your heart from this day and upward, from the twenty and fourth day to the ninth, from the day that the temple of Jehovah was founded, set ye your heart ¹⁹ Is the seed yet in the storehouse? and even the vine and the fig tree, and the pomegranate and the olive tree bore not: from this day will I praise.

¹⁷ And having come to himself, he said, Many hired of my father abound in loaves, and I am perishing with hunger! ¹⁸ Having risen, I will go to my father, and say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

¹¹ And God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you:

²¹ Many purposes in a man's heart: and the counsel of Jehovah, that shall stand.

⁵ Because Aram, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, will counsel evil against thee, saying, ⁶ We will go up against Judah and terrify her and subdue her for us, and we will make a king in the midst of her, the son of Tabeal: ⁷ Thus said the Lord Jehovah, It shall not stand, and it shall not be.

⁹ Make friendship, ye peoples, and be broken in pieces; and give ear, every land from afar; be girded and be broken in pieces; be girded and be broken in pieces. ¹⁰ Counsel ye, counsel, and it shall be dispersed; speak the word and it shall not stand: for God is with us.

²⁷ For Jehovah of armies counseled and who shall bring to nought? and his hand was stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

¹⁰ Announcing the last part from the beginning, and from of old what was not done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my delight: ¹¹ Calling a ravenous beast from the sunrising, from a land afar off a man of my counsel: also I spake, also I will bring it; I formed, also I will do it.

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:

¹³ And the men will break through to turn back to the dry land, and they will not be able, for the sea went and tossed about against them.

²⁷ For against the truth were they gathered together against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the nations and peoples of Israel, ²⁸ To do what thy hands and thy counsel predestinated to be.

³⁹ And if it is of God, ye cannot destroy it; lest ye also be found contenders against God.

¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it has been written, He seizing the wise in their deceptions. ²⁰ And again, The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.

⁸ And a stone of stumble, and rock of offence, they disbelieving the word stumble: to which also they were set.

³ And thou, Jehovah, a shield about me: my glory, and lifting up my head.

⁸ To Jehovah salvation: upon thy people thy blessing. Silence.

⁷ These in chariots, and these in horses: and in the name of Jehovah our God will we remember.

¹⁷ The horse was false to salvation, and he shall not deliver by the multitude of his strength. ¹⁸ Behold, the eye of Jehovah upon those fearing him, upon those hoping for his mercy;

²⁰ The God to us a God for salvations; and to Jehovah the Lord the goings forth to death.

¹⁰ Giving salvation to kings: snatch in away David his servant from the evil sword.

¹⁰ He will not delight in the strength of the horse: he will not be pleased in the legs of a man.

¹¹ I turned back, and saw under the sun that not to the fleet the race, and the war not to the strong, and also not to the wise, bread; and also not to the understanding ones, riches; and also not to the knowing, favor; for time and chance will light upon all of them.

¹ Wo to those going down to Egypt for help; and they will look upon horses, and trust upon chariots, because they are many; and upon horsemen because they were strong greatly; and they looked not upon the Holy One of Israel, and sought not Jehovah.

²³ Truly in vain from the hills; the multitude of mountains; truly in Jehovah our God the salvation of Israel.
