¹⁹ And blessed he his glorious name for ever; and with his glory may the whole earth be filled: Amen, and Amen.

^{52 (89:53)} Blessed be the Lord for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

¹⁸ And he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, and it cometh like water within him, and like oil into his bones.

³¹ Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and from their own counsels shall they be satisfied.

³ And he said unto me, Son of man, feed thy belly, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I am giving unto thee. And I ate it; and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness.

¹⁴ And the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in the book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua; for I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens.

¹⁹ Now therefore write ye for yourselves this song, and teach it the children of Israel, put it in their mouth; in order that this song may become for me a witness against the children of Israel.

²⁴ Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon its inhabitants, all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah;

³⁵ Oh who will bring me one that would hear me! behold, here is my plea; may the Almighty answer me; and any record which my opponent may have written,—

¹ To the chief musician, a psalm of David, ^(51:2) When Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in unto Bath-sheba’. ^(51:3) Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy kindness: according to the greatness of thy mercies blot out my transgressions.

^{9 (51:11)} Hide thy face from my sins, and all my iniquities do thou blot out.

²⁵ I, it is I that blot out thy transgressions for my own sake, and thy sins I will not remember.

²² I have blotted out, as a vapor, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.

⁶⁰ And Jeremiah wrote down all the evil that should come upon Babylon in one book, namely, all these words that are written concerning Babylon. ⁶¹ And Jeremiah said to Serayah, As thou comest to Babylon, see to it, that thou read all these words; ⁶² And thou shalt say, O Lord, thou thyself hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, so that there shall not be in it an inhabitant, either man or beast; but that it shall become a desolate place for ever. ⁶³ And it shall be, when thou hast finished reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and throw it into the midst of the Euphrates; ⁶⁴ And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise again from the evil that I will bring upon her: and her people shall be wearied. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.

³ Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of all the earth; for every one that stealeth as it is on this side shall be in an equal degree entirely destroyed, as also every one that sweareth falsely as it is on that side shall be likewise entirely destroyed. ⁴ I bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with its timber and its stones.

⁵ And I will come near unto you to hold judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against those that swear falsely, and against those that withhold the wages of the hired laborer, oppress the widow, and the fatherless, and that do injustice to the stranger, and fear me not, saith the Lord of hosts.

²⁴ And thou shalt put all this upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons; and thou shalt make with them a waving before the Lord.

²⁷ And he placed the whole upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, and made with them a waving before the Lord.

¹⁸ And the priest shall place the woman before the Lord, and uncover the woman’s head, and put upon her hands the meat-offering of memorial, it is the meat-offering of jealousy; and in the hand of the priest shall be the bitter waters that bring the curse.

² And he shall bring it to one of the sons of Aaron the priest; and he shall take therefrom his handful of its flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, as an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.

⁹ And the priest shall take up from the meat-offering its memorial, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.

¹² And he shall bring it to the priest; and the priest shall take from it his handful, as its memorial, and burn it on the altar, upon the fire-offerings of the Lord: it is a sin-offering.

^{15 (6:8)} And he shall lift up from it his handful, of the flour of the meat-offering, and of its oil, and all the frankincense which is upon the meat-offering, and he shall burn it upon the altar, for a sweet savor, as its memorial, unto the Lord.

²⁰ But if thou hast gone aside behind thy husband, and if thou hast been defiled, and some man have lain with thee besides thy husband:—

³⁷ And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a by-word, among all the nations whither the Lord will lead thee.

^{9 (83:10)} Do unto them as unto Midian; as to Sissera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon: ^{10 (83:11)} Who were annihilated at ‘En-dor; they became as dung for the ground. ^{11 (83:12)} Render them, their nobles, like ‘Oreb, and like Zeeb; yea, like Zebach and like Zalmunna’ all their princes;

⁴ But her end is bitter as wormwood, it is sharp as a two-edged sword. ⁵ Her feet go down to death, her steps take firm hold on the nether world: ⁶ So that she cannot balance the path of life; her tracks are unsteady, and she knoweth it not. ⁷ And now, O ye children, hearken unto me, and depart not from the sayings of my mouth. ⁸ Remove far from her thy way, and come not nigh to the door of her house; ⁹ That thou mayest not give up unto others thy vigor, and thy years unto the cruel; ¹⁰ That strangers may not satisfy themselves with thy strength, and with thy exertions, in the house of an alien: ¹¹ While thou moanest at thy end, when thy flesh and thy body are coming to their end,

⁹ And I will make them a horror because of their mishaps unto all the kingdoms of the earth, a disgrace and a proverb, a byword and a curse, in all the places whither I will drive them.

¹⁸ And I will pursue after them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will make them a horror unto all the kingdoms of the earth, a curse, and an astonishment, and a derision, and a disgrace, among all the nations whither I have driven them;

¹⁸ For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, As my anger and my fury were poured forth over the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so shall my fury be poured forth over you, when ye enter into Egypt; and ye shall become an oath, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a disgrace; and ye shall never see this place again.

¹² And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all come to their end, and in the land of Egypt shall they fall: by the sword and by the famine shall they come to their end; from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine shall they die; and they shall become an oath, an astonishment, and a curse, and a disgrace.

¹³ And it shall come to pass, that, in the same degree as ye have been a curse among the nations, O house of Judah, and house of Israel, so will I save you and ye shall be a blessing: fear not; let your hands be strong.

¹⁹ And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and he shall say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness behind thy husband: then be thou free from these bitter waters that bring the curse.

⁹ He causeth the barren woman to dwell in the midst of her household, the joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.

⁷ But I—I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. ⁸ Rejoice not, O my enemy, over me: though I am fallen, I rise again: though I should sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light unto me. ⁹ The indignation of the Lord will I bear, because I have sinned against him; until that he plead my cause, and execute justice for me: when he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness. ¹⁰ Then she that is my enemy will see it, and shame shall cover her, who said unto me, Where is the Lord thy God? My eyes shall complacently see her suffer: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets. ¹¹ And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace-offering, which one may happen to offer unto the Lord.

⁴⁶ This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:

⁵⁹ This is the law of the plague of leprosy on a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or any article of skin, to pronounce it clean, or unclean.

⁵⁴ This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall, ⁵⁵ And for the leprosy of a garment and of a house, ⁵⁶ And for a swelling, and for a rising, and for a bright spot; ⁵⁷ To teach on the day when something is unclean, and on the day when it is clean: this is the law of the leprosy.

³² This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith; ³³ And of her that is suffering in her separation, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.

⁷ For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of his delight: and he hoped for justice, but behold injustice; for equity, but behold iniquity. ⁸ Woe unto those that cause house to join on house, bring field near to field, till there is no more room, so that ye may be left alone as the inhabitants in the midst of the land!

¹⁷ And if a man take his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother, and he see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness: it is a disgraceful deed; and they shall be cut off before the eyes of their people: the nakedness of his sister hath he uncovered; his iniquity shall he bear. ¹⁸ And if a man lie with a woman suffering of her separation, and uncover her nakedness, and he lay open her fountain, and she uncover the fountain of her blood: then shall both of them be cut off from the midst of their people. ¹⁹ And the nakedness of thy mother’s sister, or of thy father’s sister shalt thou not uncover; for his near of kin he uncovereth: their iniquity shall they bear. ²⁰ And the man that lieth with his uncle’s wife, hath uncovered his uncle’s nakedness: their sin shall they bear; childless shall they die.

¹³ But the man that is clean, and is not on a journey, and forbeareth to prepare the passover-lamb, even that same soul shall be cut off from his people; because the offering of the Lord hath he not brought at its appointed season, his sin shall that man bear.

⁶ And he will bring forth as the light thy righteousness, and the justice of thy cause as the noonday.

⁴ Behold, all the souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son—mine are they: the soul which sinneth that alone shall die.
