³⁵ May the sinners cease from off the earth, and the wicked be no more. Bless, O my soul, the Lord. Hallelujah.

⁵ Remember his wonderful works which he hath done; his tokens, and the decrees of his mouth;

²⁶ He sent Moses his servant, Aaron also whom he had made choice of. ²⁷ They displayed among them his effective signs, and wonders in the land of Ham. ²⁸ He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word. ²⁹ He changed their waters into blood, and slew their fish. ³⁰ Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the very chambers of their kings. ³¹ He spoke, and there came various wild beasts, lice also within all their boundary. ³² He gave them as their rain hail, and flames of fire in their land. ³³ And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees within their boundary. ³⁴ He spoke, and the locusts came, and crickets, and that without number; ³⁵ And they ate up all the herbs in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground. ³⁶ And he smote all the first-born in their land, the first of all their strength. ³⁷ And he brought them forth with silver and gold: and there was not one that stumbled among his tribes. ³⁸ Egypt rejoiced when they departed; for the dread of them was fallen upon them. ³⁹ He spread out a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night. ⁴⁰ The people asked, and he brought quails, and with heavenly bread he satisfied them. ⁴¹ He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out: they ran in the dry places like a river. ⁴² For he remembered his holy word given to Abraham his servant. ⁴³ And he brought forth his people with gladness, with joyful song his elect. ⁴⁴ And he gave them the lands of nations; and the labor of people they obtained as an inheritance: ⁴⁵ So that they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Hallelujah.

⁷ Our fathers did not reflect on thy wonders in Egypt: they remembered not the multitude of thy kindnesses; but rebelled at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

²¹ They forgot God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt, ²² Wonders in the land of Ham, terrible things by the Red Sea.

⁹ For he satisfied the longing soul, and the hungry soul he filled with good.—

¹⁷ Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. ¹⁸ All manner of food their soul abhorreth; and they draw near unto the gates of death; ¹⁹ But when they cry unto the Lord when they are in distress, he saveth them out of their afflictions. ²⁰ He sendeth his word and healeth them, and delivereth them from their graves. ²¹ They therefore shall give thanks unto the Lord for his kindness, and proclaim his wonders to the children of men! ²² They shall also sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and relate his deeds with joyful song.—

³¹ For he ever standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.

¹ Hallelujah. I will thank the Lord with all my heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

³ From the rising of the sun unto his going down the name of the Lord is praised.

³ Whereas our God is in the heavens: whatsoever he desireth hath he done.

¹⁵ Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. ¹⁶ The heavens are the heavens of the Lord; but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

¹² What shall I give in return unto the Lord for all his bounties toward me?

¹ O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; because unto eternity endureth his kindness.

⁹ BETH. Wherewithal shall a youth keep his way pure? by guarding it according to thy word. ¹⁰ With all my heart have I sought thee: oh let me not wander astray from thy commandments. ¹¹ In my heart have I treasured up thy saying, in order that I may not sin against thee.

³ If thou, Lord, shouldst treasure up iniquities, O Lord, who would be able to stand?

⁷ Let Israel wait for the Lord; for with the Lord there is kindness, and with him is redemption in abundance; ⁸ And he wilt surely redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

¹² If thy children will observe my covenant and this my testimony which I teach them: then also shall their children sit for evermore upon the throne to succeed thee.”

¹ O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ² O give thanks unto the God of gods; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ³ O give thanks to the Lord of lords; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ⁴ To him who doth great wonders alone; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ⁵ To him that made the heavens with understanding; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ⁶ To him that stretched out the earth above the waters; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ⁷ To him that made great lights; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ⁸ The sun for the rule by day; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ⁹ The moon and stars for the rule by night; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ¹⁰ To him that smote Egypt in their first-born; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ¹¹ And brought out Israel from the midst of them; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ¹² With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ¹³ To him who divided the Red Sea into parts; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ¹⁴ And caused Israel to pass through the midst of it; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ¹⁵ But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ¹⁶ To him who led his people through the wilderness; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ¹⁷ To him who smote great kings; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ¹⁸ And slew mighty kings; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ¹⁹ Even Sichon the king of the Emorites; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ²⁰ And ‘Og the king of Bashan; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ²¹ And gave their land as an inheritance; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ²² As an inheritance unto Israel his servant; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ²³ Who hath in our low estate remembered us; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ²⁴ And hath freed us from our assailants; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ²⁵ Who giveth food unto all flesh; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ²⁶ O give thanks unto the God of the heavens; for to eternity endureth his kindness.

¹ By David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: before thee, O God, will I sing praise unto thee.

⁸ Gracious and merciful is the Lord, long-suffering, and great in kindness.

¹⁰ All thy works shall thank thee, O Lord; and thy pious servants shall bless thee.

¹ Hallelujah. Praise, O my soul, the Lord.

¹ Hallelujah. Praise, O my soul, the Lord. ² I will praise the Lord throughout my life: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

⁷ Who executeth justice for the oppressed: who giveth bread to the hungry: the Lord looseneth the prisoners;

³ He that healeth the broken-hearted, and bindeth up their hurts;

¹¹ The Lord taketh pleasure in those that fear him, that wait for his kindness.

¹⁹ He declareth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances unto Israel.

² Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. ³ Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. ⁴ Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens. ⁵ Let them praise the name of the Lord; for he commanded and they were created. ⁶ And he established them for ever and to eternity: he gave a decree which none shall transgress. ⁷ Praise the Lord from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps; ⁸ Fire, and hail, snow, and vapor; thou storm-wind that fulfillest his word; ⁹ Ye mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars; ¹⁰ Ye beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and winged birds; ¹¹ Ye kings of the earth, and all nations; ye princes, and all judges of the earth; ¹² Young men and also virgins; old men, together with boys:—

⁶ Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Hallelujah.

¹ My son, forget not my teaching, and let thy heart keep my commandments;

¹² Because whomever the Lord loveth he admonisheth; and as a father who delighteth in his son.

³¹ He that oppresseth the poor blasphemeth his Maker; but he that is gracious to the needy honoreth him.

²² Rob not the poor, because he is poor, neither crush the afflicted in the gate; ²³ For the Lord will plead their cause, and despoil the life of those that despoil them.

¹⁰ Remove not the ancient landmark, and into the fields of the fatherless must thou not enter;

³ As are the heavens for height, and the earth is for depth, so should the heart of kings be unsearchable.

⁷ When the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return unto God who gave it.—

² Seraphim were standing around him, each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two did he fly. ³ And one called unto the other, and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.

⁴ That thou wilt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath ceased the oppressor! ceased the exactress of gold! ⁵ Broken hath the Lord the staff of the wicked, the sceptre of rulers; ⁶ He who smote people in wrath, blows without intermission, he that ruled in anger nations, persecuting without restraint. ⁷ At rest, quiet is all the earth; men break forth into loud song. ⁸ Also, the fir-trees rejoice at thee, the cedars of Lebanon, “Since thou wast laid low, no feller is come up against us.” ⁹ The nether world from below is in motion concerning thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the departed for thee, all the chief ones of the earth; it hath caused to rise up from their thrones all the kings of nations. ¹⁰ They all will commence and say unto thee, “Thou—thou also art become weak like us; similar unto us art thou become!” ¹¹ Into the nether world is brought down thy pride, the clatter of thy psalteries: beneath thee is spread the worm, and thy cover is the moth. ¹² How art thou fallen from heaven, O morning-star, son of the dawn! how art thou hewn down to the ground, crusher of nations! ¹³ And thou—thou hadst said in thy heart, “Into heaven will I ascend, above the stars of God will I exalt my throne; and I will sit also upon the mount of the assembly, in the farthest end of the north; ¹⁴ I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be equal to the Most High.” ¹⁵ But into the nether world shalt thou be brought down, into the lowest depth. ¹⁶ They that see thee will gaze at thee, will regard thee well, saying, “Is this the man that caused the earth to tremble, that made kingdoms quake? ¹⁷ That rendered the world as a wilderness, and pulled down its cities: never opened the prison-house of his prisoners?” ¹⁸ All the kings of nations, all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own eternal house. ¹⁹ But thou—thou art cast out of thy grave like a discarded offshoot, as a garment of those that are slain, pierced by the sword, that go down to the stones of the pit, as a carcass trodden under foot. ²⁰ Thou shalt not be united with them in burial; because thy land hast thou destroyed, thy people hast thou slain: to eternity shall not be called the seed of evil-doers. ²¹ Prepare for his children the slaughter, for the iniquity of their fathers: that they may not rise, and possess the land, and fill the face of the world with enemies of mankind. ²² And I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts; and I will cut off from Babylon name, and remnant, and son, and grandson, saith the Lord. ²³ I will also make it a possession for the hedgehog, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the Lord of hosts. ²⁴ Sworn hath the Lord of hosts, saying, Surely as I have purposed, so doth it come to pass; and as I have resolved, so shall it occur: ²⁵ To break Asshur in my own land, and upon my mountains will I tread him under foot; then shall his yoke be removed from off them, and his burden from off their shoulders. ²⁶ This is the resolve that is resolved over all the earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations. ²⁷ For the Lord of hosts hath resolved, and who shall frustrate it? and it is his hand which is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? ²⁸ In the year king Achaz died was this prophecy given. ²⁹ Rejoice not, thou entire Palestine, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken; for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth an adder, and its fruit shall be a flying dragon. ³⁰ And the first-born of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall rest in safety: and I will kill with famine thy root, and men shall slay thy remnant. ³¹ Wail, O gate; cry out, O city; thou art dissolved, O thou entire Palestine; for from the north a smoke is coming, and there is no one solitary among those that are bidden to come. ³² And what will each one of the messengers of the nation answer? That the Lord hath founded Zion; and that therein shall find protection the poor of his people.

¹ Woe to the crown of pride, of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious ornament, which is on the eminence of the fat valley of those who are struck down by wine!

⁴ And the fading flower of his glorious ornament, which is on the eminence of the fat valley, shall be as its early ripe fruit before the summer; which one, when he just seeth it, while it is scarcely in his hand, hastily devoureth.

¹⁶ Oh your perverseness! shall the potter be esteemed as the clay? that the work shall say of its maker, He hath not made me? or shall the thing framed say of its framer, He had no understanding?

²⁴ And no inhabitant shall say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be one whose iniquity is forgiven.

¹⁷ Behold, for peace I had great bitterness; but thou hast, in loving my soul, delivered it from the pit of corruption; for thou hast cast behind thy back all my sins.

⁶ A voice saith, Proclaim; and he saith, What shall I proclaim? all flesh is grass, and all its goodliness is as the flower of the field: ⁷ The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; because the breath of the Lord hath blown upon it; surely the people is grass.

⁷ The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; because the breath of the Lord hath blown upon it; surely the people is grass. ⁸ The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God will stand firm for ever.

³¹ Yet they that wait upon the Lord shall acquire new strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk, and not become faint.

⁸ But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend;

¹⁰ Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that filleth it; the isles, and their inhabitants. ¹¹ Let resound with song the wilderness and its cities, the villages which Kedar inhabiteth: let the inhabitants of the rocks sing, let them shout forth from the top of the mountains. ¹² Let them give glory unto the Lord, and in the islands declare his praise.

²⁰ The beasts of the field shall honor me, the monsters and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my elect;

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

²³ Sing, O ye heavens; for the Lord hath done it; shout, ye lowest depths of the earth; break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein; for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and on Israel will he glorify himself.

⁶ In order that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from its setting, that there is nothing without me. I am the Lord, and there is no one else;

¹³ I have brought near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will grant unto Zion salvation, unto Israel my glory.

¹³ Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth, O mountains, into song; for the Lord hath comforted his people, and upon his oppressed will he have mercy.

⁶ Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wear out like a garment, and they that dwell thereon shall die in like manner; but my salvation shall exist for ever, and my righteousness shall not be delayed.

¹² I, I am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldst be afraid of a mortal that must die, and of a son of man who will wither as the grass?

⁵ Yet he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement for our peace was upon him; and through his bruises was healing granted to us.

⁷ Let the wicked forsake his way, and the man of unrighteousness his thoughts; and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him, and unto our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

⁹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts.

¹⁶ For not to eternity will I contend, neither will I be for ever wroth: when the spirit from before me is overwhelmed, and the souls which I have made.

⁶ Is not this rather the fast that I will choose? to open the snares of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye should break asunder every yoke? ⁷ Is it not to distribute thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the afflicted poor into thy house! when thou seest the naked, that thou clothe him; and that thou hide not thyself from thy own flesh?

¹ Who is this that cometh from Edom, dyed red in his garments from Bozrah? this—glorious in his apparel, moving along in the greatness of his strength? “I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”

⁷ The kindnesses of the Lord will I mention, the praises of the Lord, in accordance with all that the Lord hath bestowed on us, and the abundant goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and the abundance of his kindnesses.

¹¹ Then remembered his people the ancient days of Moses, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put within him his holy Spirit? ¹² That displayed by the right hand of Moses his glorious arm; that divided the water before them, to make unto himself an everlasting name?

¹⁵ Look down from heaven, and behold, from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where are thy zeal and thy mights, the yearning of thy bowels and of thy mercy which are now restrained from me? ¹⁶ For thou art our father; for Abraham knoweth nothing of us, and Israel recogniseth us not: thou, O Lord, art our father, our Redeemer from everlasting is thy name.

¹ Thus hath said the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is there a house that ye can build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

³¹ O present generation, regard ye the word of the Lord. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of deep darkness? wherefore say my people, We wander about; we cannot come any more unto thee? ³² Can a virgin forget her ornament, or a bride her decorations? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.

⁵ Will he bear grudge for ever? will he keep it to eternity? Behold, thou hast spoken this, and yet hast done the things that are evil as much as thou wast able.

¹² Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord: I will not cause my anger to fall upon you; for I am full of kindness, saith the Lord, I will not hear grudge for ever.

⁶ If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and walk not after other gods to your own hurt: ⁷ Then will I permit you to dwell in this place, in the land that I have given to your fathers, from eternity to eternity. ⁸ Behold, ye rely on the words of falsehood, that cannot profit. ⁹ How? will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Ba’al, and walk after other gods of which ye have no knowledge; ¹⁰ And then come and stand before my presence in this house, which is called by my name, and say, “We are delivered;” in order to do all these abominations? ¹¹ Is then this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? But I also, behold, I have seen it, saith the Lord. ¹² For go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did unto it because of the wickedness of my people Israel. ¹³ And now, whereas ye have done all these acts, saith the Lord, and I spoke unto you, causing the prophets to rise up early and speaking, while ye would not hear; and I called you, but ye would not answer: ¹⁴ Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, whereon ye rely, and unto the place which I have given to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. ¹⁵ And I will cast you out of my presence, as I have cast out all your brethren, all the seed of Ephraim.

¹⁴ Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed: save me, and I shall be saved; for my praise art thou.

^{3 (31:2)} “From afar is the Lord appeared unto me,” saying, Yea, with an everlasting love have I loved thee; therefore have I guided thee with loving-kindness.

^{9 (31:8)} With weeping shall they come, and with supplications will I bring them in: I will lead them by brooks of water in a straight way, whereon they shall not stumble; for I am become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born.

^{20 (31:19)} Is not Ephraim a dear son unto me? or a child that I dandle? for whenever I speak of him, I do earnestly remember him again: therefore are my inward parts moved for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord.

^{34 (31:33)} And they shall not teach any more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for they all shall know me, from the least of them even unto their greatest, saith the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I not remember any more.

¹⁸ Thou exercisest kindness unto the thousandth generation, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers unto the bosom of their children after them; thou art the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts is his name;

²⁴ Hast thou not observed what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the Lord hath made choice of, even these hath he rejected: and they thus have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them. ²⁵ Thus hath said the Lord, If my covenant be not with day and night, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth: ²⁶ Then also will I reject the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so as not to take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.

²⁰ In those days, and at that time, saith the Lord, shall the iniquity of Israel be sought for, and it shall not be there; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found; for I will pardon those whom I will leave remaining.

²² It is through the Lord’s kindness that we are not consumed, because his mercies have no end;

⁷ Father and mother they esteemed lightly within thee, toward the stranger they acted with extortion in the midst of thee, the fatherless and the widow they oppressed within thee.

¹² Bribes they took within thee, in order to shed blood; interest and increase didst thou take, and thou didst acquire gain off thy neighbors by extortion: and me thou didst forget, saith the Lord Eternal. ¹³ And behold, I have struck my hands together at thy wrongful gain which thou hast acquired, and at thy blood-guilt which hath been in the midst of thee. ¹⁴ Will thy courage endure, or will thy hands remain strong, on the days that I will deal with thee? I the Lord have spoken, and will do it.

^{17 (4:14)} Through the resolve of the watchers is this decree, and by the order of the holy ones is this decision: to the intent that the living may know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and that he can give it to whomsoever he pleaseth, and can set up over it the lowest of men.

^{25 (4:22)} They will drive thee away from men, and with the beasts of the field is thy dwelling to be, and they will suffer thee to eat herbs like oxen, and they will suffer thee to be made wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times will elapse over thee; until that thou wilt know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he pleaseth.

^{34 (4:31)} But at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up my eyes unto heaven, and my understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and glorified the Everliving, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and whose kingdom is over every generation; ^{35 (4:32)} And by whom all the inhabitants of the earth are regarded as nought; and who according to his pleasure doth with the host of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth; while there is none that can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

⁹ I was looking until chairs were set down, and an Ancient of days seated himself, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of whose head was like clean wool; his chair was like flames of fire, and his wheels like fire that burnt; ¹⁰ A stream of fire issued and came forth from before him; thousand times thousands ministered unto him, and myriad times myriads stood before him: they sat down to hold judgment, and the books were opened.

¹⁸ Incline, O my God, thy ear, and hear; open thy eyes, and look on our desolations, and the city whereupon thy name is called: for not relying on our acts of righteousness do we present humbly our supplications before thee, but relying on thy great mercies. ¹⁹ O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do it; delay it not; for thy own sake, O my God; for thy name is called upon thy city and upon thy people.

²⁴ Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to close up the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to atone for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy thing.

^{15 (2:17)} And I will give her again her vineyards from there, and the valley of ‘Achor [sorrow] as an entrance for hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as on the day of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.

¹¹ And the Lord uttereth his voice before his army; for very numerous is his camp; for strong is he that executeth his word; for great is the day of the Lord and very terrible; and who is able to endure it?

¹³ And rend your heart, and not your garments, and return unto the Lord your God; for gracious and merciful is he, long suffering, and of great kindness, and he bethinketh himself of the evil.

² And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my word, while I was yet in my own country? Therefore made I haste to fly unto Tharshish; for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, long-suffering, and abundant in kindness, and repentant of the evil.

¹ Woe to those that devise wickedness, and resolve on evil upon their couches! by the first light of the morning they execute it, if they have it in the power of their hand. ² And they covet fields, and rob them; and houses, and take them away: so they defraud the master and his house, and the man and his heritage. ³ Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will devise against this family an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; nor shall ye go erect; for it is an evil time.

² But they are those who hate the good, and love the evil; who tear their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; ³ Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and who crush their bones, and chop them in pieces, as that to be put in a pot, and as flesh within a caldron. ⁴ Then will they cry unto the Lord, but he will not hear them; and he will hide his face from them at that time, as they have committed their evil deeds.

⁵ O my people, do but remember what Balak the king of Moab resolved, and what Bil’am the son of Be’or answered him, from Shittim unto Gilgal, in order that ye may know the gracious benefits of the Lord.

¹⁸ Who is a god like unto thee, pardoning iniquity, and forgiving transgression to the residue of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in kindness.

¹⁸ Who is a god like unto thee, pardoning iniquity, and forgiving transgression to the residue of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in kindness. ¹⁹ He will again have mercy on us, he will suppress our iniquities; yea, thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

³ The Lord is long-suffering, and great in power, but he will by no means clear the guilty: the Lord—in the whirlwind and in the storm is his way, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. ⁴ He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and all the rivers he drieth up: Bashan then withereth, with Carmel, and the flowers of Lebanon wither.

² O Lord, I have heard thy fame, and was afraid: O Lord, thy work—in the midst of the years of sorrow revive thou it, in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy.

¹⁶ Then conversed they that fear the Lord one with the other: and the Lord listened and heard it, and there was written a book of remembrance before him for those who fear the Lord, and for those who respect his name. ¹⁷ And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, on that day which I create as a special treasure: and I will spare them, as a man spareth his son that serveth him.

^{2 (3:20)} But there shall rise unto you that fear my name the sun of righteousness with healing in his wings: and ye will go forth, and grow fat as calves of the stall.
