⁴ Behold, the hire of laborers having reaped your farms, withheld by you, cries out, and the cries of the reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. ⁵ Ye have led a luxurious life upon the earth, and have rioted in luxury; ye have nourished your hearts, as in the day of slaughter.

⁴ And as the light of the morning the sun will rise: the morning not dense; from the shining of the rain bringing forth herbage from the earth.

¹⁷ And life shall rise above the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning

¹⁰ For he knew the way with me,: he tried me.; I shall come forth as gold.

⁷ They will go from strength to strength, being seen in Zion to God.

⁷ The way to the just one is straightness: being upright, thou wilt prepare the departing of the just one.

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 And it was in that day the light shall not be; the splendors shall be drawn in: ⁷ And it was one day it shall be known to Jehovah, not day, and not night: and it was at the time of evening it shall be light

¹⁴ Ye are the light of the world. A city cannot be hid, set on a mountain.

¹⁶ So let your light shine before men, that they see your good works, and praise your Father, him in the heavens.

⁴⁵ So that ye might be sons of your Father, which in the heavens: for he makes his sun rise upon evil and good, and rains on the just and unjust.

¹² Again therefore Jesus spake to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he following me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

¹⁸ And we all, shown as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, with the face uncovered, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as from the Spirit of the Lord.

¹⁵ That ye be complete and pure, children of God, blameless in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom ye appear as luminaries in the world;

¹⁹ And we have the prophetic word more firm; which holding to, ye do well, as to a light shining in a dusty place, even till the day shine through, and the morning star spring up in your hearts:

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.

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.

⁹ He will watch the feet of the merciful and the unjust shall be silent in darkness; for not by strength shall man prevail.

¹⁴ The days they will meet darkness, and they will grope in the noon day as night

²⁵ They will feel darkness and not light, and he will cause them to wander as one intoxicated.

⁵ Also the light of the unjust shall be extinguished, and the flame of his fire shall not shine; ⁶ The light was darkened in his tent, and his lamp shall be extinguished for him.

¹⁸ They shall drive him out of light into darkness, and they shall exclude him from the habitable globe.

¹³ Those forsaking the paths of straightness to go in the ways of darkness;

⁹ For this judgment was far off from us, and justice shall not overtake us: we shall wait for light, and behold, darkness; for brightness, and we shall walk in thick darkness. ¹⁰ We shall feel for the wall as the blind, and we shall feel, as no eyes: we stumbled at noon as at evening twilight; in fertile fields as the dead.

¹⁶ Ye shall give glory to Jehovah your God, before he shall darken, and before your feet shall strike upon the mountains of darkness, and ye waited for light, and he set it for the shadow of death, he will place for gloom.

¹² For this their way shall be to them as slippery places in darkness: they shall be thrust away and they fell in it; for I will bring evil upon them, the year of their reviewing, says Jehovah.

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

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

¹⁰ But if any walk in the night, he stumbles, for light is not in him.

³⁵ Then said Jesus to them, Yet a little time the light is with you. Walk while ye have light, lest darkness overtake you: and he walking in darkness knows not where he retires.

¹¹ And he hating his brother is in darkness, and walks about in darkness, and knows not where he goes forward, for darkness has blinded his eyes.

¹ Instruction to Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the sayings of my mouth.

¹² To number our days so make known, and we shall bring the heart to wisdom.

²⁰ My son, watch the commands of thy father, and thou shalt not reject the laws of thy mother: ²¹ Tie them always upon thy heart; bind them upon thy throat

¹ My son, watch my words, and thou shalt hide my commands with thee.

⁵ He yet speaking, behold, a shining cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly beloved Son, in whom I was contented; hear ye him.

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

³ Mercy and truth shall not forsake thee: bind them upon thy throat; write them upon the tablet of thy heart:

²¹ My son, they shall not depart from thine eyes: keep counsel and meditation:

¹ My son, watch my words, and thou shalt hide my commands with thee. ² Watch my commands, and live; and my law as the pupil of thine eyes.

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

¹⁰ Hear, my son, and receive my words, and the years of life shall be multiplied to thee.

¹⁸ There is he talking idly as the piercings of the sword: and the tongue of the wise is healing.

⁶ Behold me bringing up to it health and healing, and healing them, and I uncovered to them the abundance of peace and truth.

²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me and know my thoughts: ²⁴ And see if the way of pain is in me, and guide me in the eternal way.

⁷ Wisdom the beginning; obtain wisdom, and with all thine acquisition, obtain understanding.

¹⁶ A woman of grace will obtain honor, and the powerful will obtain riches.

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

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

¹⁹ Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thy heart right in the way.

²⁶ He trusting in his heart is foolish: and he going in wisdom shall be delivered.

¹³ There is an evil making sick I saw under the sun: riches watched to its owners for their evil.

⁹ The heart is deceitful above all, and man himself, who shall know him?

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.

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

²¹ For within, out of the heart of men, go forth evil reflections, adulteries, fornications, murders, ²² Thefts, overreaching, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, defamation, pride, foolishness: ²³ All these evils go out from within, and pollute a man.

³⁸ Watch ye and pray, that ye should not come into temptation. Truly the spirit well inclined, and the flesh weak.

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.

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;

¹⁴ And each is tempted from his own lust, being drawn out, and decoyed. ¹⁵ So then lust conceiving, brings forth sin: and sin performed, produces death.

¹² A man of Belial, a man of iniquity, goes with perverseness of mouth.

⁸ In justice are all the sayings of my mouth; nothing in them crooked and perverse.

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

²⁰ The perverse of heart shall not find good: and he turning about with his tongue shall fall into evil.

³¹ Cast away from you all your transgressions which ye transgressed against me, and make to you a new heart and a new spirit: and wherefore will ye die, O house of Israel?

²⁵ Wherefore falsehood ye having put away, speak the truth each with his neighbor: for ye are members one of another. ²⁶ Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your fit of anger: ²⁷ Neither give place to the accuser. ²⁸ He stealing let him steal no more: and rather let him be wearied from fatigue, working good with the hands, that he have to impart to him having need. 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. ³⁰ And grieve ye not the Holy Spirit of God in which ye were sealed to the day of redemption. ³¹ Let all harshness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and slander, be put away from you, with all badness:

⁸ And now ye also put them all away; anger, wrath, badness, slander, shameful language out of your mouth.

⁵ Unprofitable occupations of men corrupted in mind, and deprived of the truth, thinking gain to be devotion: be separated from such.

²¹ Wherefore having put away all sordid avarice, and excess of wickedness, in meekness receive the implanted word, able to save your souls.

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

¹ Therefore setting aside all wickedness, and all artifice, and dissimulation; and envies, and all calumnies,

¹ I cut out a covenant for mine eyes; and why shall I show myself attentive to a virgin?

³⁷ Cause mine eyes to pass from seeing vanity; make me live in thy way.

⁵ Wilt thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it and it is not? for making, it will make to it wings; as an eagle and it flew to the heavens.

³³ Thine eyes shall see strange women, and thy heart shall speak perverseness.

²² The light of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be light.

²³ From Jehovah the steps of a man were prepared, and he will delight in his way.

² And he will bring me up from the pit of destruction, from the clay of mire, and he will set my feet upon a rock, preparing my goings.

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.

⁶ Lest thou shalt make level the path of life, her tracks wavered; thou wilt not know.

²¹ For before the eyes of Jehovah are the ways of man, and he makes level all his tracks.

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

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

¹³ To make your hearts firm, complete in holiness before God, and our Father, in the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his holy ones.

³ But the Lord is faithful, who supports you, and will watch from the evil.

¹³ And make straight wheel-ruts to your feet, lest the lame thing turned aside; and it should rather be healed.

¹⁰ And the God of all grace, having called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, may he put you in proper order, having suffered a little time, may he support you, make firm, lay the foundation.

³² And watch ye to do as Jehovah your God commanded right: ye shall not turn aside to the right and to the left.

³² Every word which I command you, ye shall watch to do it: thou shalt not add upon it, and thou shalt not take away from it

¹⁴ And thou shalt not turn aside from all the words which I command you this day, to the right and to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

⁷ Only be strong and be greatly active, to watch to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee: thou shalt not turn aside from it to the right and to the left, so that thou shalt be wise in all things where thou shalt go.

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

¹⁶ Wash ye, cleanse yourselves: turn away evil from your doings from before mine eyes; leave off the evil;

⁹ Love unfeigned. Hating evil; fastened to good.
