²⁹ For I know this, that after my departure grievous wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; ³⁰ and out of you yourselves will rise up men speaking perverted things, in order to draw away the disciples after themselves.

¹⁵ And I will also be diligent to cause you always to have memory of these things after my departure.

¹³ But you shall cut down their altars, break their pillars, and you shall cut off their Asherim.

²⁰ Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a sin in the cursed thing, and was there not wrath on all the company of Israel? And he was not the only one to die in his iniquity.

⁸ They chose new gods; then war was at the gates! Neither a shield nor a spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.

¹ And again the anger of Jehovah glowed against Israel, and moved David against them, to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.

⁴ And it happened, at the time Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, like the heart of his father David. ⁵ And Solomon went after Ashtoreth, goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom, the abomination of the Ammonites;

⁹ and you did evil above all who have been before you, and went and made for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke Me to anger; and you have cast Me behind your back

²³ And they built, they also, high places for themselves, and standing pillars, and Asherahs on every high hill, and under every green tree.

² And Jehu the son of Hanani, the seer, went out before him and said to king Jehoshaphat, Do you love to help the bad one, and those who hate Jehovah, and by this bring wrath on you from the face of Jehovah?

¹³ and you walk in the way of the kings of Israel, and caused Judah and the people of Jerusalem to commit fornication like the fornications of the house of Ahab; and also you have killed your brothers, the house of your father, who were better than yourself;

⁴ And after this it happened; it had been in the heart of Joash to renew the house of Jehovah;

¹³ And they said to them, You shall not bring the captives here, for guilt against Jehovah is on us; you are planning to add to our sin and to our guilt, for plenty of guilt is ours, and the glow of anger on Israel.

⁸ And the wrath of Jehovah is on Judah and Jerusalem, and He has given them for a trembling, for a horror, and for hissing, as you see with your eyes.

²⁵ And Hezekiah did not return according to the benefit done to him, for his heart had been lifted up, and there was wrath on him and on Judah and Jerusalem.

³ For again he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had broken down, and raised up altars for the Baals, and made Asherahs and bowed himself to all the host of the heavens, and served them. ⁴ And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah had said, In Jerusalem shall be My name forever. ⁵ And he built altars to all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of Jehovah. ⁶ And he made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and did magic and divined, and used sorcery, and used mediums and conjurers; he multiplied the doing of the evil in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke Him to anger. ⁷ And he placed the engraved image of the idol that he had made in the house of God, of which God had said to David, and to his son Solomon, In this house, and in Jerusalem that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever.

¹⁴ Also, all the heads of the priests, and the people were continually acting treacherously according to all the abominable idols of the nations; and they defiled the house of Jehovah that He had sanctified in Jerusalem. ¹⁵ And Jehovah, the God of their fathers, sent to them by the hand of His messengers, rising early and sending, for He had pity on his people and on His dwelling place. ¹⁶ But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets until the wrath of Jehovah went up against His people, until there was no healing.

¹⁰ The rulers of Judah were as movers of a border; I will pour out My wrath on them like water. ¹¹ Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment; because he was pleased, he walked after the command.

¹⁴ For I am to Ephraim as the lion, and as the young lion to the house of Judah; I, even I, tear and go; I take away, and no one rescues.

⁴ I will also stretch out My hand on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, the name of the idol worshipers, with the priests; ⁵ and those bowing to the host of the heavens on the housetops; and those bowing, swearing to Jehovah, also swearing by Malcham, ⁶ and those drawing back from after Jehovah, and who have not sought Jehovah, nor asked of Him.

⁶ Let no one deceive you with empty words, for through these the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.

¹³ And Jehovah testified against Israel, and against Judah, by the hand of all His prophets, and every seer, saying, Turn back from your evil ways, and keep My commands, My statutes, according to all the law that I commanded your fathers, and that I sent to you by the hand of My servants the prophets. ¹⁴ And they did not listen, and hardened their necks, like the necks of their fathers, who did not remain faithful to Jehovah their God. ¹⁵ And they rejected His statutes and His covenant that He made with their fathers, and His testimonies that He testified against them, and went after the vain thing, and became vain, and after the nations that were around them, of whom Jehovah had commanded them not to do like them.

²⁶ But they were disobedient, and rebelled against You, and cast Your law behind their backs. And they killed Your prophets who testified against them, to turn them to You. And they worked great blasphemies.

⁷ For He is our God; and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice, ⁸ do not harden your heart as in the day of strife, as in the day of testing in the wilderness;

²³ Listen and hear My voice; pay attention and hear My word:

²³ Who among you will hear this, will listen and hear for the time to come?

⁴ Hear Me, My people; yea, give ear to Me, My nation. For a law shall go out from Me, and My justice I will make rest as light to peoples.

³ Bend your ear and come to Me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will cut a covenant everlasting with you, the faithful mercies of David.

²⁵ Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have even sent to you all My servants, the prophets, daily rising up early and sending. ²⁶ Yet they did not listen to Me nor bow their ear, but they stiffened their neck. They did more evil than their fathers.

⁴ And Jehovah has sent to you all His servants the prophets, rising early and sending, but you have not listened nor bowed your ear to hear, ⁵ saying, Now turn each one from his evil way and from the evil of your doings, and live on the land which Jehovah has given to you and to your fathers from forever even to forever.

⁵ to listen to the words of My servants the prophets whom I am sending to you, even rising up early and sending (but you have not listened),

⁴ However, I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying, Oh, do not commit this abominable thing which I hate! ⁵ But they did not listen nor bow their ear, to turn from their evil, not to burn incense to other gods.

⁹ The one having ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁵ For the heart of this people has grown fat, and they heard sluggishly with the ears, and they have closed their eyes, that they not see with the eyes, or hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I heal them." LXX-Isa. 6:9, 10 ¹⁶ But your eyes are blessed because they see; and your ears because they hear.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! Because you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. ⁴⁸ So you bear witness and consent to the works of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs. ⁴⁹ And because of this, the wisdom of God said, I will send prophets and apostles to them, and they will kill and drive out some of them, ⁵⁰ that the blood of all the prophets which has been shed from the foundation of the world may be required from this generation, ⁵¹ from the blood of Abel until the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the House. Yea, I say to you, it will be required from this generation.

³¹ And he said to him, If they will not hear Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if one from the dead should rise.

⁹ And He began to speak this parable to the people: A certain man planted a vineyard and let it out to vinedressers. And he left the country for long periods of time . Isa. 5:1, 2 ¹⁰ And in season, he sent a slave to the vinedressers, that they might give him the fruit of the vineyard. But the vinedressers sent him away empty, beating him . ¹¹ And he again sent another slave. But they also sent that one away empty, beating and insulting him . ¹² And he again sent a third. But they also threw this one out, wounding him . ¹³ And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps seeing this one, they will respect him . ¹⁴ And seeing him, the vinedressers reasoned with themselves, saying, This is the heir. Come let us kill him so that the inheritance may become ours. ¹⁵ And throwing him out of the vineyard, they killed him . Therefore, what will the Lord of the vineyard do to them?

⁴¹ And Moses said, Why do you now transgress the mouth of Jehovah, since it will not prosper?

²⁵ Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah, the God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt. ²⁶ For they went and served other gods, and worshiped them, gods which they did not know, and who had not given to them any portion.

³⁴ And the Spirit of Jehovah clothed Gideon with Himself, and he blew with a ram's horn. And the Abiezrites were called after him.

¹³ And Samuel said to Saul, You have acted foolishly that you have not kept the command of Jehovah your God which He commanded you. For now Jehovah would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. ¹⁴ But now your kingdom shall not stand. Jehovah has sought out for Himself a man according to His own heart, and Jehovah has appointed him as leader over His people. For you have not kept that which Jehovah commanded you.

⁹ Why have you despised the word of Jehovah, to do the evil in His eyes? You have stricken Uriah the Hittite by the sword, and you have taken his wife to yourself for a wife. And you have killed him by the sword of the sons of Ammon. ¹⁰ And now the sword shall not turn aside from your house continually, because you have despised Me, and have taken the wile of Uriah the Hittite to be a wife to you.

¹⁸ And the Spirit enwrapped Amasai, the head of the thirty: To you, O David, and with you, O son of Jesse, peace! Peace to you, and peace to your helpers, for your God has helped you. And David received them, and put them among the heads of the band.

⁹ And you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind. For Jehovah searches out all hearts, and He understands every imagination of thoughts. If you shall seek Him, He shall be found by you. But if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.

¹ And the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded. ² And he went out before Asa, and said to him, Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. Jehovah is with you while you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will be found by you. But if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.

¹⁴ And on Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, the Spirit of Jehovah came on him in the midst of the assembly;

¹¹ And they brought out the son of the king, and put the crown on him, and the testimony, and made him king; and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and cried, Let the king live!

¹⁹ Your own wickedness shall correct you, and your apostasies shall reprove you. Know, then, and see that your forsaking Jehovah your God is evil and bitter; and My fear is not in you, declares the Lord Jehovah of hosts.

¹⁸ Your way and your doings have done these things to you; this is your evil, because it is bitter, because it reaches to your heart.

¹⁹ And it will be when you shall say, Why does Jehovah our God do all these things to us? Then you shall answer them, Just as you have forsaken Me and served foreign gods in your land, so you shall serve strangers in a land that is not yours.

²⁵ Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good from you.

¹¹ But they refused to listen, and gave a stubborn shoulder, and they made their ears heavy from hearing. ¹² And they made their heart adamant from hearing the law and the words which Jehovah of hosts has sent by the former prophets through His Spirit. And great wrath was from Jehovah of hosts. ¹³ And it will be, just as He called, and they did not listen; so they called, and I did not listen, says Jehovah of hosts. ¹⁴ But I stormed them away on all the nations whom they did not know. And the land is desolated behind them, from passing and from returning; for they made the land of desire a waste.

³⁵ so that should come on you all the righteous blood poured out on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Berechiah whom you murdered between the Holy Place and the altar.

¹⁹ And I was like a docile lamb being brought to the slaughter; and I did not know that they had plotted schemes against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with its fruit; and let us cut him off from the land of the living so that his name may be remembered no more.

¹⁸ Then they said, Come and let us plot schemes against Jeremiah. For the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor word from the prophet. Come and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not listen to any of his words.

⁴ And the rulers said to the king, Please let this man be put to death. For in this way he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking these words to them. For this man does not seek the peace of this people, but the evil. ⁵ And Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand. For. the king cannot do anything against you. ⁶ And they took Jeremiah and threw him into the pit of Malchiah, the king's son, which was in the court of the guardhouse. And they let Jeremiah down with ropes. But no water was in the pit, only mud. So Jeremiah sank into the mud.

³⁵ And the vinedressers, taking his slaves, they beat this one, and they killed one, and they stoned another.

³⁴ Because of this, behold, I send to you prophets and wise ones and scribes. And some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and will persecute from city to city; ³⁵ so that should come on you all the righteous blood poured out on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Berechiah whom you murdered between the Holy Place and the altar. ³⁶ Truly I say to you, All these things will come on this generation. ³⁷ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one killing the prophets and stoning those sent to her. How often I desired to gather your children in the way a bird gathers her chicks under her wings! And you did not desire it.

⁵⁸ And throwing him outside the city, they stoned him . And the witnesses put off their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul. ⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen, invoking and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

⁵ And surely the blood of your lives I will demand. At the hand of every animal I will demand it, and at the hand of man. I will demand the life of man at the hand of every man's brother.

¹⁴ You have seen, for You take note of mischief and vexation, to repay with Your hand. The poor leaves himself to You; You are the helper of the orphan.

⁴ In return for my love, they are my enemies; but I am in prayer.

¹³ Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

²⁰ But, O Jehovah of Hosts who judges with righteousness, who tries the reins and the heart, let me see Your vengeance on them. For to You I have laid open my cause.

¹⁴ As for me, behold, I am in your hands; do with me as seems good and right to you. ¹⁵ But know for certain that if you put me to death, you shall surely bring innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants. For truly Jehovah has sent me to you, to speak all these words in your ears.

⁵⁶ Because the plunderer is coming on her, on Babylon, and her mighty men are captured, their bows are shattered; for Jehovah the God of recompenses shall surely repay.

⁵¹ from the blood of Abel until the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the House. Yea, I say to you, it will be required from this generation.

¹⁵ And one of them, seeing that he was cured, returned glorifying God with a loud voice. ¹⁶ And he fell on his face at His feet, thanking Him. And he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And answering, Jesus said, Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine? ¹⁸ Were not any found returning to give glory to God except this foreigner?

³² Jesus answered them, I showed you many good works from My Father. For which work of them do you stone Me?

¹⁴ Alexander the coppersmith demonstrated many evil things to me. The Lord "will give back to him according to his works." LXX-Psa. 61:13; Prov. 24:12; MT-Psa. 62:12

¹⁶ In my first defense no one was beside me, but all deserted me. May it not be reckoned to them.

⁹ And when He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those having been slain for the word of God, and for the witness which they had. ¹⁰ And they cried with a great voice, saying, Until when, holy and true Master, do You not judge and take vengeance for our blood, from those dwelling on the earth? ¹¹ And there was given to each one a white robe. And it was said to them that they should rest yet a little time, until might be fulfilled also the number of their fellow-slaves and their brothers, those being about to be killed, even as they.

²⁰ Rejoice over her, Heaven, and the holy apostles, and the prophets, because God judged your judgment on her.

² For true and righteous are His judgments, because He judged the great harlot who defiled the earth with her fornication. And He avenged the blood of His slaves out of her hand.

³⁵ Vengeance and retribution belong to Me; in due time their foot will slip; for the day of their calamity is near, and the things prepared are hurrying for them.

²² And the prophet came to the king of Israel and said to him, Go, make yourself strong, and look and see what you do; for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against you.

²⁶ And it happened at the turn of the year, Ben-hadad called up the Syrians, and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.

¹⁷ Then Hazael the king of Syria went up and fought against Gath, and captured it; and Hazael set his face to go up against Jerusalem. ¹⁸ And Joash the king of Judah took all the dedicated things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, the kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own dedicated things, and all the gold found in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and of the house of the king, and sent to Hazael the king of Syria; and he went away from Jerusalem.

¹⁷ And after the death of Jehoiada, the leaders of Judah came in and bowed themselves to the king; then the king listened to them. ¹⁸ And they forsook the house of Jehovah, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and the idols; and there was wrath on Judah and Jerusalem because of this guilt.

¹⁰ Now, then, be wise, O kings; be taught, O judges of the earth: ¹¹ Serve Jehovah with fear; yea, rejoice with trembling.

¹⁰ The righteous shall rejoice when he sees vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. ¹¹ And man will say, Truly, a fruit is to the righteous; truly, there is a God judging in the earth.

⁶ I have said, You are gods, and all of you are sons of the Most High. ⁷ But you shall die as men, and fall like one of the rulers.

⁸ And five of you shall pursue a hundred, and a hundred of you shall pursue a myriad; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

²⁵ and I will bring a sword on you, executing the vengeance of the covenant, and you shall be gathered to your cities, and I shall send pestilence into your midst; and you shall be given into the hand of an enemy.

³⁷ And they shall stumble upon one another, as if it were before the sword, when no one pursues. And you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

²⁵ Jehovah shall cause you to be stricken before your enemies. You shall go out one way against them, and shall flee seven ways before them. And you shall be a trembling to all the kingdoms of the earth.

⁴⁸ and you shall serve your enemies whom Jehovah shall send on you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in lack of all things . And He shall put an iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you.

³⁰ How could one chase a thousand, and two put a myriad to flight, if it were not their Rock that sold them, and Jehovah had shut them up?

⁸ Did not the Cushites and the Lubim become a very great army for multitude, for chariots and for horsemen? And when you leaned on Jehovah, He gave them into your hand. ⁹ For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro in all the earth in order to be strong for those with their heart perfect toward Him. You have acted foolishly in this. For this reason, from now on there shall be wars with you.

¹¹ yea, behold, they are repaying us by coming in to drive us out of Your possession, that You have caused us to possess. ¹² O our God, shall You not execute judgment upon them? For there is no power in us before this great multitude that has come against us, and we do not know what we shall do; but our eyes are on You.

⁸ And it happened, when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, that he found the leaders of Judah, and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, the servants of Ahaziah, and killed them.

²⁰ And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stood before the people and said to them, So says God, Why do you transgress the commandments of Jehovah, and do not prosper? Because you have forsaken Jehovah, He has forsaken you.

⁵ Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger! And My fury is the staff in their hand. ⁶ I will send him against an ungodly nation, and against the people of My wrath. I will command him to plunder, and to strip off spoil, and to trample them like the mud of the streets.

⁵ They come from a distant land, from the end of the heavens, Jehovah and the weapons of His wrath, to destroy all the land.

¹⁷ One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one. You shall flee from the rebuke of five, until you are left like a pole on the top of the mountain, and like a sign on a hill.

¹⁰ For though you had stricken the entire army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and only wounded men remained among them, yet they would rise up, each man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.

¹² Are You not from of old, Jehovah our God, my Holy One? We shall not die, Jehovah, for You have appointed him for judgment. And, my Rock, You have established him for correction.

²⁰ And his servants rose up and made a conspiracy and killed Joash in the house of Millo, which goes down to Silla. ²¹ For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, killed him; and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And his son Amaziah reigned in his place.

¹⁹ And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. and they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there. ²⁰ And they lifted him up on the horses, and he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.

¹⁶ And Jehovah awakened the spirit of the Philistines against Jehoram, and of the Arabians who were beside the Ethiopians;

¹⁸ And after this, Jehovah plagued him in his bowels by disease for which there was no healing; ¹⁹ and it happened, from days to days, and as the time went out, the end of two years of days, his bowels went out because of his sickness; so he died of painful diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers. ²⁰ He was a son of thirty two years when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem; and he left without being desired, and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the graves of the kings.

⁶ and he returned to be healed in Jezreel, because of the wounds with which they had stricken him in Ramah, when fighting with Hazael the king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram the king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, for he was ill.

¹⁶ And they buried him in the city of David with the kings, for he had done good in Israel, and with God, and his house.

²⁷ And Ahaz lay with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem, but did not bring him to the graves of the kings of Israel. and his son Hezekiah reigned in his place.

⁶ since they poured out the blood of the saints and of the prophets; and You gave blood to them to drink, for they were deserving.

²¹ For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, killed him; and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And his son Amaziah reigned in his place.

¹⁸ And Joash the king of Judah took all the dedicated things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, the kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own dedicated things, and all the gold found in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and of the house of the king, and sent to Hazael the king of Syria; and he went away from Jerusalem.

¹² Amaziah his son; Azariah his son; Jotham his son;

²⁹ And the rest of the acts of Solomon, the first and the last, are they not written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?

²² And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his words, are written in the inquiry of the prophet Iddo.

¹¹ And, behold, the acts of Asa, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.

³⁴ And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the words of Jehu the son of Hanani, which were taken up in the Book of the Kings of Israel.

¹² And the king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah; and they hired stone cutters and carpenters to repair the house of Jehovah; and also artisans in iron and bronze to strengthen the house of Jehovah.

¹ Amaziah was a son of twenty five years when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty nine years in Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
