²² An abomination of the Lord are lips of falsehood; but they that deal in faithfulness obtain his favor.

³ He that watcheth his mouth guardeth his soul; but he that openeth wide his lips prepareth himself destruction.

²¹ Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it will eat its fruit.

¹⁶ How much better is it to obtain wisdom than gold! and to obtain understanding is preferable to silver! ¹⁷ The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he preserveth his soul that watcheth his way.

¹⁶ Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil; ¹⁷ Learn to do well; seek for justice, relieve the oppressed, do justice to the fatherless, plead for the widow.

⁴⁰ Now, my God, let I beseech thee, thy eyes be open, and thy ears be attentive unto the prayer on this place.

⁷ He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous; but he placeth them with kings on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.

¹⁸ Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those that fear him, upon those that hope for his kindness.

^{6 (34:7)} This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and out of all his distresses did he save him.

^{17 (34:18)} Those cry, and the Lord heareth, and from all their distresses he delivereth them.

¹⁴ And Hezekiah took the letter out of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the Lord, and spread it out before the Lord. ¹⁵ And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, saying, ¹⁶ O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, who dwellest between the cherubim, thou art the true God, thou alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth; for it is thou who hast made the heavens and earth. ¹⁷ Bend down, O Lord, thy ear, and hear; open, O Lord, thy eye, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he hath sent to blaspheme the living God. ¹⁸ Truly, Lord, the kings of Assyria have devastated all the nations, and their land; ¹⁹ And they have placed their gods into the fire; for they are no gods, but the work of man’s hands, wood and stone; and these have they destroyed. ²⁰ And now, O Lord our God, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord, thou alone. ²¹ Then sent Isaiah the son of Amoz unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib the king of Assyria:

¹⁷ And now listen, O our God, to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary which is desolate, for the sake of the Lord. 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. ²⁰ And while I was yet speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication humbly before the Lord my God because of the holy mountain of my God: ²¹ Yea, while I was yet speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, came, flying swiftly, near me about the time of the evening oblation. ²² And he gave me understanding, and spoke with me, and said, O Daniel, now am I come forth to make thee intelligent with understanding. ²³ At the beginning of thy supplications the word went forth, and I am come to tell it; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and have understanding of the appearance.

¹⁰ And if there be any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood: I will set my face against the person that eateth the blood, and I will cut him off from among his people.

¹⁷ And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be struck down before your enemies: and they that hate you shall bear rule over you; and ye shall flee while there is no one pursuing you.

¹⁷ His resemblance vanisheth from the earth, and no name remaineth for him in the streets.

¹⁶ The Lord is King for ever and ever: nations are perished out of his land.

⁷ The memory of the just is destined to be blessed; but the name of the wicked shall rot.

¹⁰ Then also did I see the wicked buried, who had gone to their rest; but those who had acted correctly had to go away from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city. Also this is vanity.

¹³ Hope of Israel, O Lord, all that forsake thee shall be made ashamed, and the backsliders among me shall be written down on the earth; because they have forsaken the fountain of living waters, the Lord.

¹¹ Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah.

⁷ For whatever man it be of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, that separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and layeth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and then cometh to the prophet to inquire through him of me: I the Lord will answer him through my word; ⁸ And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an astonishment for a sign and for proverbs, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

⁴ And though they were to go into captivity before their enemies, thence would I command the sword, that it should slay them: and I will set my eye upon them for evil, and not for good.

²⁰ And king Hezekiah and Isaiah the son of Amos the prophet prayed for this cause, and they cried to heaven. ²¹ And the Lord sent an angel, who cut off every mighty man of valor and leader and captain in the camp of the king of Assyria: and when he was returned with shame of face to his own land, he went into the house of his god, and those that were come forth from his own bowels felled him there with the sword.

²⁴ In those days fell Hezekiah sick to the death; and he prayed unto the Lord: and he spoke unto him, and he gave him a wonderful token.

^{15 (34:16)} The eyes of the Lord are directed unto the righteous, and his ears unto their cry.

^{19 (34:20)} Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but out of them all the Lord ever delivereth him.

¹⁵ He will call on me, and I will answer him: with him will I be in distress; I will deliver him, and grant him honor.

¹⁸ The Lord is nigh unto all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. ¹⁹ The desire of those who fear him will he fulfill, and their cry will he hear, and save them. ²⁰ The Lord preserveth all those who love him; but all the wicked will he destroy.

²⁴ And it shall come to pass, that before yet they call will I answer; and while they are still speaking will I hear.

¹⁹ Because thy heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord, when thou heardest what I had spoken against this place, and against its inhabitants, that they should become an astonishment and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me: I also have heard it, saith the Lord.

^{17 (51:19)} The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, wilt thou not despise.

¹ To the chief musician, Al-tashcheth, a psalm or song of Asaph. ^(75:2) We give thanks unto thee, O God, we give thanks, and nigh is thy name: men relate thy wondrous deeds.

^{9 (85:10)} Surely, nigh is his salvation unto those that fear him: that glory may dwell in our land.

¹⁸ The Lord is nigh unto all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

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

⁶ Seek ye the Lord, while he may be found, call ye on him, while he is near.

¹⁵ For thus hath said the high and lofty One, who inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy, In the high and holy place do I dwell, yet also with the contrite and humble of spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

¹ The Spirit of the Lord Eternal is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to announce good tidings unto the meek: he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim to captives Liberty, and to prisoners Release;

² For all these things hath my hand made, that all these things came into being, saith the Lord; but upon such a one will I look, upon the poor, and him who is of a contrite spirit, and who trembleth at my word.

²⁶ And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will remove the heart of stone out of your body, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

³¹ Then shall ye remember your ways that they were evil, and your doings that were not good; and ye shall loathe yourselves on account of your iniquities and on account of your abominations.

¹⁹ In six distresses will he deliver thee; and in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

⁹ But now I am become their song, and I am become a byword unto them. ¹⁰ They loathe me, they keep themselves far from me, and from my face they withhold not their spittle. ¹¹ Because he hath loosened the cord of my bow, and afflicted me, they have also cast off the bridle before me. ¹² Against my right hand rise up this swarm of worthless youths: they push away my feet, and they level against me their calamity-bringing paths. ¹³ They destroy my footpath, they help forward my downfall, without any one to aid them. ¹⁴ As through a broad breach they come: amidst a loud noise they rolled themselves along. ¹⁵ Terrors have turned their face against me; they chase like the wind my glory: and like a cloud is my happiness passed away. ¹⁶ And now my soul is poured out over me; the days of affliction have seized on me; ¹⁷ All night it holloweth out my bones out of my body; and my pursuers take no rest. ¹⁸ Through the Almlghty’s power is my garment made unknown: like the opening of my coat hath he enclosed me. ¹⁹ He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes. ²⁰ I cry aloud unto thee, but thou answerest me not: I stand up, and thou fixest thy regard against me. ²¹ Thou art changed into a cruel master toward me: with the strength of thy hand thou assailest me. ²² Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to pass away, and dissolvest in me all wise counsel. ²³ For I know that thou wilt bring me back to death, and to the house of assembly for all the living. ²⁴ But doth not a man stretch out his hand among ruins? or doth one not cry out therefrom for help when he meeteth his downfall? ²⁵ Did I not weep for him that was hard pressed by misfortune? was not my soul grieved for the needy? ²⁶ That I hoped for good, but there came evil; and I waited for light, and there came darkness! ²⁷ My bowels heave, and rest not: the days of affliction have overcome me. ²⁸ I walk about mournfully without sunlight: when I rise up, in the assembly, I cry with pain. ²⁹ I am a brother to howling monsters, and a companion to ostriches. ³⁰ My skin hangeth down black from me, and my bones are burnt from heat. ³¹ And thus is changed to mourning my harp, and my pipe to the sound of weeping.

¹² And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

^{4 (34:5)} I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and from all that I dreaded did he deliver me.

²⁰ Thou, who hast shown me great distresses and misfortunes, wilt again revive me; and from the depths of the earth wilt thou bring me up again.

¹⁶ For though the righteous were to fall seven times, he will rise up again; but the wicked shall stumble into misfortune.

¹⁰ All my bones will say, Lord, who is like unto thee, who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that robbeth him?

¹² Upon their hands shall they bear thee, that thou mayest not dash against a stone thy foot.

^{22 (6:23)} My God sent his angel, and locked up the mouths of the lions, and they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, had I done nothing injurious. ^{23 (6:24)} Then was the king exceedingly glad within himself, and concerning Daniel he ordered to bring him up out of the den. So was Daniel brought up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God. ^{24 (6:25)} And the king gave the order, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel treacherously, and they cast into the den of lions them, their children, and their wives; and they had not yet touched the bottom of the den when the lions had the mastery over them, and ground up all their bones.

⁷ Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

⁴ And Jonathan spoke favorably of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; since he hath not sinned against thee, and because his deeds are very good for thee; ⁵ And he did put his life in his hand, and he slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great salvation for all Israel; thou sawest it, and wast rejoiced: wherefore then wilt thou commit sin on innocent blood, by slaying David without a cause?

⁴ And Saul said unto his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and wantonly ill-use me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was greatly afraid; wherefore Saul took the sword, and fell upon it.

⁸ And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we might inquire of the Lord; but I hate him; for he will never prophesy good concerning me, but evil: it is Michayhu the son of Yimlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

³⁷ So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.

¹² The wicked purposeth evil against the just, and gnasheth against him with his teeth. ¹³ The Lord will laugh at him; for he seeth that his day is coming. ¹⁴ The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cause the poor and needy to fall, and to slaughter such as are of an upright course of life. ¹⁵ But their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

³⁰ The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh what is just. ³¹ The law of his God is in his heart: none of his steps shall slip. ³² The wicked looketh out for the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. ³³ The Lord will not leave him in his hand, and will not condemn him when he is judged. ³⁴ Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, shalt thou look on. ³⁵ I have seen the wicked terrible in power, and striking root like a green tree in its native soil. ³⁶ Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was no more: and I sought him, but he could not be found. ³⁷ Observe the perfect man, and behold the upright; for there is a happy future for the man of peace. ³⁸ But the transgressors are destroyed together: the future of the wicked is cut off. ³⁹ And the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord: he is their strong-hold in the time of distress. ⁴⁰ And the Lord helpeth them, and delivereth them; he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them; because they have put their trust in him.

^{15 (40:16)} May they be astonished in consequence of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha!

^{23 (89:24)} And I will beat down before his face his assailants, and those that hate him will I plague.

²³ And he will bring back upon them their own injustice, and in their own wickedness will he destroy them: yea, he will destroy them—the Lord our God.

¹¹ Woe unto the wicked who doeth evil; for the recompense of his hands shall be bestowed on him.

⁹ But David answered Rechab and Ba’anah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the Lord liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

²⁹ And the king swore and said, As the Lord liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,

^{9 (9:10)} The Lord also will be a strong-hold for the oppressed, a strong-hold in times of distress. ^{10 (9:11)} And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; for thou hast not forsaken those that seek thee, O Lord.

^{5 (31:6)} Into thy hand do I commit my spirit: thou redeemest me, O Lord, the God of truth.

²³ My lips shall shout joyfully when I sing unto thee; and my soul too, which thou hast redeemed.

^{11 (84:12)} For a sun and shield is the Lord God; grace and glory will the Lord give; he will not withhold any good from those that walk with integrity. ^{12 (84:13)} O Lord of hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in thee.

⁴ Who redeemeth from the pit thy life; who crowneth thee with kindness and mercies;

⁸ And he wilt surely redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

⁵⁸ Thou didst plead, O Lord, the causes of my soul: thou didst before this redeem my life.
