²⁷ The God of long-ago is your dwelling-place and underneath are the everlasting arms. And he thrust out the enemy from before you and said, Destroy.

¹⁶ They were a wall to us both by night and by day all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

³ His substance also was seven thousand sheep and three thousand camels and five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred female-donkeys and a very great household, so that this man was the greatest of all the sons of the east.

⁶ when my steps were washed with butter and the rock poured out streams of oil to me,

²⁵ if I have rejoiced because my wealth was great and because my hand had gotten much;

¹² Because you will bless the righteous man, O Jehovah. You will encompass him with favor as with a shield. Selah.

⁷ The messenger of Jehovah encamps all around those who fear him and delivers them.

²¹ Increase my greatness and turn again and comfort me.

¹² Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?

¹⁷ And let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us. And establish the work of our hands upon us, yes, the work of our hands establish it.

¹ All who fear Jehovah are fortunate, who walk in his ways. ² Because you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be fortunate and it will be well with you. ³ Your wife will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your sons like olive plants all around your table.
⁴ Behold, because the man will be blessed thus who fears Jehovah.

² And he dug it and gathered out the stones of it and planted it with the choicest vine and built a tower in the midst of it and also hewed out a winepress in it. And he looked that it should bring forth grapes and it brought out wild grapes.

⁵ And now I will tell you* what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away the hedge of it and it will be eaten up. I will break down the wall of it and it will be trodden down.

⁵ For I, says Jehovah, will be to her a wall of fire all around and I will be the glory in the midst of her.

⁸ For Jehovah of hosts says thus: After glory he has sent me to the nations which plundered you*. For he who touches you* touches the apple of his eye.

⁵ who are kept through faith in the power of God, into a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

¹¹ And Abimelech ordered all the people, saying, He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death.

⁵ And it was so, when the days of their feasting were completed, that Job sent and made them holy and rose up early in the morning and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned and renounced God in their hearts. Thus Job did continually.

¹² And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in your power, only upon himself do not put forth your hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.

⁵ But put forth your hand now and touch his bone and his flesh and he will renounce you to your face.

⁵ But now it comes to you and you faint. It touches you and you are troubled.

²¹ Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O you* my friends, for the hand of God has touched me.

¹⁵ saying, Touch not my anointed men and do my prophets no harm.

²⁵ Therefore the anger of Jehovah is kindled against his people and he has stretched forth his hand against them and has struck them. And the mountains tremble and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets.
For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

²¹ And they will pass through it, greatly distressed and hungry. And it will happen that, when they will be hungry, they will be angry and curse by their king and by their God and turn their faces upward.

¹³ Your* words have been stout against me, says Jehovah. Yet you* say, What have we spoken against you? ¹⁴ You* have said, It is vain to serve God and what profit is it that we have kept his charge and that we have walked mournfully before Jehovah of hosts?

⁹ And men were burnt with great heat and the men blasphemed the name of God who has the authority over these wounds, and they did not repent to give him glory.

¹¹ and they blasphemed the God of heaven out of their pains and out of their sores, and they did not repent from their works.

²¹ And great hail, approximately a talant’s poundage,
comes down from heaven upon men and men blasphemed God from the wound of the hail, because its wound is extremely great.

⁶ But Abram said to Sarai, Behold, your maid is in your hand, do to her what is good in your eyes. And Sarai dealt harshly with her and she fled from her face.

²³ Now therefore, behold, Jehovah has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets and Jehovah has spoken evil concerning you.

⁴ And Satan answered Jehovah and said, Skin for skin, yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. ⁵ But put forth your hand now and touch his bone and his flesh and he will renounce you to your face. ⁶ And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, he is in your hand, only spare his life. ⁷ So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah and killed* Job with severe boils from the sole of his foot to his crown.

¹⁰ Surely the inward thought of man will praise you, even the residue of inward thought will observe a festival to you.

⁸ In measure, in sending it forth, you contend with it. He has removed with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.

⁵ And Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your* hand, for the king is not he who can do anything against you*.

³² Now a considerable herd of swine was there, feeding at the mountain. And he was pleading with him in order that he might permit them to enter into those swine. And he permitted them. ³³ Now the demons having gone out from the man, entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the cliff into the lake and were choking to death.

³¹ Now the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, the Adversary asked for you, to sift you like wheat. ³² But I besought concerning you, in order that your faith may not fail, and someday having turned back again, establish your brethren.

³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He who believes in the Son has everlasting life, but he who is disobedient to the Son will not be seeing life, but the wrath of God is remaining upon him.

¹¹ Jesus answered, You have no authority against me, except what was given to you from above. He who gave me to you has the greater sin because of this.

¹³ No temptation has taken you except common human temptations, but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to undergo, but together with the temptation, he will also make an outlet.

⁷ And, in order that I should not promote myself by the excellence of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of the Adversary, in order that it might batter me, in order that I should not promote myself.

⁴ And his sons went and held a feast in the house of each one upon his day and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

¹ Do not boast in yourself of tomorrow, because you do not know what a day may bring forth.

¹² Because man also does not know his time. As the fishes that are taken in an evil net and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time when it falls suddenly upon them.

¹⁹ And I will be saying to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up for many years; rest yourself, eat, drink, and be joyous.
²⁰ But God said to him, Fool, your soul is asked back from you in this night, and the things which you prepared, whose will they be?

²⁷ They were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being betrothed, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. ²⁸ Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; ²⁹ but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

³⁴ But take-heed to yourselves, lest your hearts might be burdened in a hangover and drunkenness, and anxieties of everyday life, and that day might suddenly stand upon you;

¹⁷ And he who brought the news answered and said, Israel has fled before the Philistines and there has been also a great slaughter among the people. And your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead and the ark of God is taken.

¹³ And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.

³¹ One post will run to meet another and one messenger to met another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter.

⁷ And the sons of Cush were : Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah were : Sheba and Dedan.

²⁸ and Obal and Abimael and Sheba

³ And Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.

²⁰ And one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David. ²¹ And Abiathar told David that Saul had slain Jehovah's priests.

¹⁶ While he was yet speaking, there came also another and said, The fire of God fell from heaven and has burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them and only I alone have escaped to tell you.
¹⁷ While he was yet speaking, there came also another and said, The Chaldeans made three bands and fell upon the camels and have taken them away, yes and slain the servants with the edge of the sword and only I alone have escaped to tell you.

¹⁹ And behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness and killed* the four corners of the house and it fell upon the young men and they are dead and only I alone have escaped to tell you.

¹⁹ The caravans of Tema looked, the traveling of Sheba waited for them.

¹⁰ The kings of Tarshish and of the isles will render tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba will offer gifts.

¹⁴ Jehovah says thus: The labor of Egypt and the merchandise of Ethiopia and the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you and they will be yours. They will go after you. In chains they will come over and they will fall down to you. They will make supplication to you, saying, Surely God is in you and there is none else, no God.

⁴² And the voice of a multitude being at ease was with her. And with men of the common sort, were brought drunkards from the wilderness and they put bracelets upon the hands of those two women and beautiful crowns upon their heads.

⁸ And I will sell your* sons and your* daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah and they will sell them to the men of Sheba, to a nation far off. For Jehovah has spoken it.

²⁴ Then Jehovah rained brimstone and fire upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah, from Jehovah out of heaven.

²⁸ Entreat Jehovah, let it be enough of these mighty thunderings and hail and I will let you* go and you* will stay no longer.

²⁴ And there came out fire from before Jehovah and consumed the burnt offering and the fat upon the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces.

² And there came out fire from before Jehovah and devoured them and they died before Jehovah.

¹ And the people were as complainers, speaking evil in the ears of Jehovah. And when Jehovah heard it, his anger was kindled and the fire of Jehovah burnt among them and devoured in the outermost part of the camp. ² And the people cried to Moses. And Moses prayed to Jehovah and the fire abated. ³ And the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of Jehovah burnt among them.

¹⁵ And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field and among all the people. The garrison and the spoilers, they also trembled. And the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.

³⁸ Then the fire of Jehovah fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust and licked up the water that was in the trench.

¹⁰ And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty. And there came down fire from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.

¹² And Elijah answered and said to them, If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.

¹⁴ Behold, there came fire down from heaven and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties, but now let my life be precious in your sight.

⁴ Thus the lord Jehovah showed me: And behold, the lord Jehovah called to contend by fire and it devoured the great deep and would have eaten up the land.

¹³ And he does great signs, even makes fire in order that it might come down from heaven upon the earth in the sight of men.

²⁸ And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldeans.

³¹ And Terah took Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran, his son's son and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife. And they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldeans, to go into the land of Canaan. And they came to Haran and dwelt there.

³ And David said to him, From where did you come? And he said to him, I escaped out of the camp of Israel.

¹⁵ and the Sabeans fell upon them and took them away. Yes, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword and only I alone have escaped to tell you.

¹³ Behold, the land of the Chaldeans. This people once was not. The Assyrian founded it for those who dwell in the wilderness. They set up their towers. They raised up the palaces of it. Then they made it a ruin.

⁶ For behold, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, who march through the breadth of the earth to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs.

²⁸ And Absalom commanded his servants, saying, Notice you* now, when Amnon's heart is merry with wine and when I say to you*, Strike Amnon, then kill him. Do not fear; have I not commanded you*? Be courageous and be valiant.

¹³ And it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,

² O that my grief were but weighed and all my calamity laid in the balances! ³ For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas. Therefore my words have been rash.

¹⁴ He breaks me with breach upon breach. He runs upon me like a giant.

⁹ He has stripped me of my glory and taken the crown from my head. ¹⁰ He has broken me down on every side and I have gone. And he has plucked up my hope like a tree.

² Even today my complaint is rebellious. My stroke is heavier than my groaning.

¹⁴ If his sons be multiplied, it is for the sword. And his offspring will not be satisfied with bread.

¹⁹ The afflictions of the righteous are many, but Jehovah delivers him out of them all.

² All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous man and to the wicked man, to the good man and to the clean man and to the unclean man, to him who sacrifices and to him who does not sacrifice, as is the good man, so is the sinner and he who swears, as he who fears an oath.

¹⁹ As often as it passes though, it will take you*. For morning by morning it will pass through, by day and by night. And it will be nothing but terror to understand the report.

¹² Is it nothing to you*, all you* who pass by? Behold and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which is brought upon me, with which Jehovah has afflicted in the day of his fierce anger.

⁶ And I also have given you* cleanness of teeth in all your* cities and want of bread in all your* places.
Yet you* have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
⁷ And I also have withheld the rain from you*, when there were yet three months to the harvest. And I caused it to rain upon one city and caused it not to rain upon another city. One piece was rained upon and the piece upon which it did not rain withered. ⁸ So two or three cities wandered to one city to drink water and were not satisfied.
Yet you* have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
⁹ I have struck you* with blasting and mildew. The multitude of your* gardens and your* vineyards and your* fig trees and your* olive trees the palmer-worm has devoured.
Yet you* have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
¹⁰ I have sent among you* the pestilence according to the manner of Egypt. I have slain your* young men with the sword and have carried away your* horses and I have made the stench of your* camp to come up even into your* nostrils.
Yet you* have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
¹¹ I have overthrown cities among you*, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and you* were as a brand plucked out of the burning.
Yet you* have not returned to me, says Jehovah.

³² And they sent the coat of many colors and they brought it to their father and said, We have found this. Know now whether it is your son's coat or not.
³³ And he recognized it and said, It is my son's coat. An evil beast has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.

³⁶ And Jacob their father said to them, You* have bereaved me of my sons. Joseph is not and Simeon is not and you* will take Benjamin away. All these things are against me.

³⁰ And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might and the house fell upon the lords and upon all the people that were in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than those that he killed in his life.

³³ And the king was much moved and went up to the chamber over the gate and wept. And as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would I had died for you, O Absalom, my son, my son!

³⁰ But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city and the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men who were left. And Ben-hadad fled and came into the city, into an inner chamber.

¹¹ At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse, ¹² a full wind from these will come for me. Now I will also utter judgments against them.

²⁷ and the rain came down and the rivers came up and the winds blew and hit that house and it fell and great was its fall.

¹ Now there were some here at the same time reporting to him concerning the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. ² And Jesus answered and said to them, Do you think that these Galileans became sinners more than all the other Galileans, because they have suffered such things? ³ I am saying to you, No, but, if you do not repent, you will all likewise perish. ⁴ Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed, do you think that those became debtors more than all other men who are dwelling in Jerusalem? ⁵ I am saying to you, No, but, if you do not repent, you will all likewise perish.

⁴ Now as the barbarians saw the snake hanging from his hand, they were saying to one another, This man is certainly a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, justice did not permit him to live.

² in which you previously walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit which now is working in the sons of disobedience;

²⁹ And Reuben returned to the pit, and behold, Joseph was not in the pit. And he tore his clothes,

³⁴ And Jacob tore his garments and put sackcloth upon his loins and mourned for his son many days.

¹⁸ And I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your* sin which you* sinned, in doing what was evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.

¹⁶ David therefore besought God for the child. And David fasted and went in and lay all night upon the ground. ¹⁷ And the elders of his house arose, and stood beside him, to raise him up from the ground, but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
¹⁸ And it happened on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive we spoke to him and he did not listen to our voice, how will he then distress himself, if we tell him that the child is dead! ¹⁹ But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead. And David said to his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead. ²⁰ Then David arose from the earth and washed and anointed himself and changed his apparel. And he came into the house of Jehovah and worshiped. Then he came to his own house and when he required, they set bread before him and he ate.

³ And all the sons of Israel looked on when the fire came down and the glory of Jehovah was upon the house. And they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement and worshiped and gave thanks to Jehovah, saying, For he is good. For his loving kindness is everlasting.

³ And when I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard and sat down confounded.

³⁹ And when he went a little more, he fell upon his face and prayed, saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; however, not as I will, but as you will.

⁶ Therefore humble yourselves under the powerful hand of God, in order that he may exalt you in time;

¹⁹ You will eat bread by the sweat of your face, till you return to the ground, because out of it you were taken. For you are dust and you will return to dust.

² And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel and he said, Am I in God's place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?

⁵ And now do not be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you* sold me here, because God sent me before you* to preserve life.

⁷ Jehovah makes poor and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.

¹⁸ And Samuel told him every whit and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Jehovah. Let him do what seems him good.

¹² It may be that Jehovah will look on the wrong done to me and that Jehovah will reward me good for his cursing of me this day.

¹⁵ So the king did not listen to the people, for it was a thing brought about by Jehovah, that he might establish his word, which Jehovah spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

¹⁹ Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The word of Jehovah which you have spoken is good. He said moreover, Is it not so, if peace and truth will be in my days?

¹ I will praise Jehovah at all times. His praise will continually be in my mouth.

⁹ I was mute. I did not open my mouth, because you did it.

¹⁷ Because when he dies he will carry nothing away. His glory will not descend after him.

³⁸ But you have cast off and rejected. You have been angry with your anointed. ³⁹ You have spurned the covenant of your servant. You have profaned his crown to the ground. ⁴⁰ You have broken down all his hedges. You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
⁴¹ All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to his neighbors. ⁴² You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all his enemies to rejoice.
⁴³ Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword and have not made him to stand in the battle.
⁴⁴ You have made his brightness to cease and cast his throne down to the ground. ⁴⁵ The days of his youth you have shortened. You have covered him with shame. Selah.
⁴⁶ How long, O Jehovah? Will you hide yourself forever? Shall your wrath burn like fire? ⁴⁷ O remember how short my time is, for what vanity you have created all the sons of men!
⁴⁸ What man is he who will live and not see death, who will deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.
⁴⁹ Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you swore to David in your faithfulness?
⁵⁰ Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, how I bear in my bosom all the mighty peoples, ⁵¹ with which your enemies have reproached, O Jehovah, with which they have reproached the footsteps of your anointed.
⁵² Praise Jehovah everlasting. Truly and Truly.

¹⁵ As he came out from his mother's womb, naked will he go again as he came and will take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.

¹⁹ Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth and has given him power to eat of it and to take his portion and to rejoice in his labor–this is the gift of God.

⁷ and the dust returns to the earth as it was and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

¹⁵ Therefore glorify you* Jehovah in the east, even the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea.

²⁴ Who gave Jacob for a spoil and Israel to the robbers? Did not Jehovah? He against whom we have sinned and in whose ways they would not walk, nor were they obedient to his law.

⁷ I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create evil. I am Jehovah who does all these things.

³⁸ Out of the mouth of the Most High does there not come evil and good?

⁶ Shall the trumpet be blown in a city and the people not be afraid? Shall evil befall a city and Jehovah has not done it?

¹⁵ Or is it not legal for me to do what I will in the things which are mine? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?

²⁸ to do as many things as your hand and your council predetermined to happen.

²⁰ giving-thanks always on behalf of all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God and Father;

¹⁸ Give-thanks in everything; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

⁷ for we brought nothing into the world, nor it is evident that we are able to carry anything out;

¹⁷ Every good act of giving, and every complete gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor a shadow of turning.

¹⁰ Therefore listen to me, you* men of understanding. Far be it from me to sin before the Lord and pervert righteousness before the Almighty.

¹⁸ who says to a king, You are worthless, to ranking men, You * are wicked, ¹⁹ who does not respect the persons of rulers, nor regards the rich more than the poor. For they all are the work of his hands.

⁴ Behold, I am of small account. What shall I answer you? I lay my hand upon my mouth. ⁵ I have spoken once and I will not answer, yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.
⁶ Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, ⁷ Gird up your loins now like a man. I will demand of you and declare you to me. ⁸ Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?

²⁰ But-rather, O man, who are you who answers back against God? The molded thing will not say to the one who molded it, why did you make me so, will it?

⁴ But let endurance have its completed work, in order that you may be complete and whole, deficient in nothing.

¹² The fortunate man who is enduring temptation, because having become approved, he will be receiving the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

⁷ in order that the trial of your faith, ( being much more precious than gold, which perishes), even now being tested through fire, may be found for praise and honor and to glory in the revelation of Jesus Christ.
