³ And so it used to be, if Israel had sown, then came up Midian and Amalek and the sons of the east, yea came up against them, ⁴ and encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the land, until thou comest unto Gaza,––neither left they sustenance in Israel, nor sheep nor ox, nor ass; ⁵ for, they with their cattle, used to come up, with their tents––yea they used to come like locusts, for multitude, both they and their cattle, were without number,––so they came into the land, to lay it waste. ⁶ Thus was Israel greatly impoverished, because of Midian,––and the sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh.
⁷ And it came to pass, when the sons of Israel cried unto Yahweh,––on account of Midian, ⁸ then sent Yahweh a prophet unto the sons of Israel,––who said unto them––Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, I, led you up out of Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of servants;

⁴ And Gideon came towards the Jordan, being about to pass over––he, and the three hundred men who were with him, faint yet pursuing. ⁵ So he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the people that are following me; for, faint, they are, and, I, am in pursuit of Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.

³² And Gideon, son of Joash, died in a good old age,––and was buried in the grave of Joash his father, in Ophrah, of the Abiezrites.

¹ And it came to pass in those days, when, king, there was none in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehem–judah. ² And his concubine went astray against him, and departed from him, unto the house of her father, in Bethlehem–judah,––and remained there, the space of four months.

⁴ And his father–in–law, the father of the damsel, constrained him, and he abode with him three days,––and they did eat and drink, and lodged there.

² and, he, had two wives, the name of the one, Hannah, and, the name of the other, Peninnah,––and Peninnah had children, but, Hannah, had no children.

¹¹ And she vowed a vow, and said––Yahweh of hosts! If thou wilt, look, upon the humiliation of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give unto thy handmaid a man–child, then will I give him unto Yahweh, all the days of his life, and no, razor, shall come upon his head.

²⁷ For this boy, I prayed,––And Yahweh hath given me my petition which I asked of him.

⁹ Beforetime, in Israel, thus, said a man when he went to enquire of God, Come and let us go as far as the seer,––for, the prophet of today, used to be called, beforetime, the seer.

²² Then asked they again of Yahweh, Hath there yet to come in hither a man? And Yahweh said, Lo! he, hath hid himself among the stores.

²⁸ Then responded one from among the people, and said––With an oath, did thy father charge the people, saying––Cursed, be the man that eateth food today! And so the people were faint.

³¹ Howbeit they smote the Philistines on that day from Michmash to Aijalon,––but the people became exceeding faint.

⁷ And Saul smote Amalek,––from Havilah, till thou enterest Shur, which is over against Egypt.

¹⁵ Did I, that day, begin to enquire for him of God? Far from me! Let not the king impute to his servant such a thing, nor to any of the household of my father, for thy servant knoweth nothing of all this, less or more.

⁶ Then Saul enquired of Yahweh, but Yahweh answered him not,––neither by Dreams, nor by the Lights, nor by prophets.

⁸ And David enquired of Yahweh, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? shall I overtake it? And he said unto him: Pursue, for thou shalt, overtake, and thou shalt, rescue.

⁹ and made him king for Gilead, and for the Ashurites, and for Jezreel,––and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over, all Israel.

¹⁴ And he put, in Edom, garrisons, throughout all Edom, put be garrisons, and so it was that all Edom became servants unto David,––and Yahweh gave victory unto David, whithersoever he went.

¹ And, when, the queen of Sheba, heard the report of Solomon, as pertaining to the Name of Yahweh, she came to prove him, with abstruse questions.

⁴⁷ And, king, was there none in Edom, a prefect, was king.

²⁰ In his days, did Edom revolt from under the hand of Judah,––and they set over them a king.

²⁹ In his days, came up Pharaoh–necoh king of Egypt, against the king of Assyria, unto the river Euphrates,––and, when King Josiah went against him, he slew him at Megiddo, as soon as he saw him.

²⁹ These, are their generations,––the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, then Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam; ³⁰ Mishma, and Dumah, Massa, Hadad, and Tema; ³¹ Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. These, are the sons of Ishmael. ³² And, the sons of Keturah, the concubine of Abraham, she bare Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah,––and, the sons of Jokshan, Sheba, and Dedan;

³² And, the sons of Keturah, the concubine of Abraham, she bare Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah,––and, the sons of Jokshan, Sheba, and Dedan; ³³ and, the sons of Midian, Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these, were the sons of Keturah.

¹⁹ So they made war with the Hagrites,––and Jetur and Naphish, and Nodab; ²⁰ and were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all that were with them were delivered into their hand,––for, unto God, made they outcry, in the war, and he suffered himself to be entreated by them, because they put their trust in him;

¹³ and set, in Edom, garrisons, and all Edom became servants unto David,––and Yahweh gave David the victory, whithersoever he went.

²⁸ And he died in a good old age, satisfied with days, riches and honour,––and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

¹¹ And, Amaziah, took courage, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt,––and smote of the sons of Seir, ten thousand; ¹² and the sons of Judah took captive, ten thousand alive, and brought to the top of the crag,––and cast them down from the top of the crag, and, all of them, were torn asunder.

¹³ and, when he prayed unto him, then was he entreated of him, and hearkened unto his supplication, and brought him back to Jerusalem, unto his own kingdom, and so Manasseh came to know, that, Yahweh, is God.

²³ So we fasted and sought of our God, concerning this,––and he suffered himself to be entreated by us.

¹ A man, there was––in the land of Uz, Job, his name,––and that man was blameless and upright, and one who revered God, and avoided evil.

³ And his substance was––seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she–asses, and a body of servants exceeding large,––thus was that man the greatest of all the sons of the East.

⁸ And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Hast thou applied thy heart unto my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man blameless and upright, one revering God and avoiding evil?

³ And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Hast thou applied thy heart unto my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man blameless and upright, one who revereth God, and avoideth evil; and still he is holding fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up without cause.

¹¹ Now when the three friends of Job heard of all this misfortune which had befallen him,––they came, every man from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite,––for they had by appointment met together to come to shew sympathy with him, and to comfort him.

²⁶ Thou shalt come, yet robust, to the grave, as a stack of sheaves mounteth up in its season.

¹⁹ The caravans of Tema looked about, the travelling companies of Sheba, hoped for them:

¹⁵ What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? Or what shall we profit, that we should urge him?

¹⁷ Who had been saying unto GOD, Depart from us! and––What can the Almighty do for himself?

⁹ For he hath said, It profiteth not a man, when, his good pleasure, is with God.

¹⁷ So Job died, old and satisfied with days.

¹⁴ From men [who are] thy hand, O Yahweh, From the men of this age, whose portion, is among the living, and, with thy treasure, thou fillest their bosom,––They must be satisfied with sons, And must leave their abundance to their children:–– ¹⁵ I, in righteousness, shall behold thy face, Shall be satisfied when awakened by a vision of thee.

³⁷ Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright, for there is a hereafter for the man of peace;

¹⁵ Call upon me, then, in the day of distress, I will deliver thee, that thou mayest glorify me.

⁸ Moab, is my wash–bowl, Upon Edom, will I throw my shoe, Over Philistia! raise shout of triumph. ⁹ Who will conduct me to a fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom!

² Thou hearer of prayer! Unto thee, shall all flesh come.

¹⁸ Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led in procession a body of captives, Thou hast received gifts consisting of men, Yea even the rebellious, That, Yah, Elohim, might settle down to rest.

¹⁰ The kings of Tarshish and of the Coastlands, A gift, let them render, The kings of Sheba and Seba, A present, let them bring;

⁶⁴ His priests, by the sword, did fall, And, his widows, were not able to bewail.

⁵ For they have taken counsel with one heart, Against thee––a covenant, would they solemnize–– ⁶ The tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagarenes;

⁶ The tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagarenes; ⁷ Gebal and Ammon, and Amalek, The Philistines, with the dwellers in Tyre; ⁸ Even Assyria hath joined herself with them, They have become an arm to the sons of Lot. [Selah.]
⁹ Make them like Midian, like Sisera, like Jabin, by the torrent of Kishon; ¹⁰ They perished at En–dor, They become manure for the soil! ¹¹ Make them––their nobles––like Oreb and like Zeeb, And, like Zebah and like Zalmunna, all their princes: ¹² Who said––Let us take a possession for ourselves, The pastures of God! ¹³ O my God, make them, As whirling [dust], As chaff before a wind; ¹⁴ As a fire burneth a forest,––And as a flame setteth mountains ablaze, ¹⁵ So, wilt thou pursue them with thy tempest,––And, with thy storm–wind, wilt terrify them:

¹⁵ He shall call me, and I will answer him, With him, will, I, be, in distress, I will rescue him, and will honour him;

²⁴ And they refused the delightful land, They believed not his word;

⁵ Woe is me, That I sojourn in Meshek,––That I abide near the tents of Kedar!

³ Lo! an inheritance from Yahweh, are children, A reward, the fruit of the womb:

¹⁹ The desire of them who revere him, will he fulfill, and, their cry, will he hear, and will save them.

²⁴ The dread of the lawless one, the same, shall overtake him, but, the desire of the righteous, shall he granted.

²⁵ The righteous, eateth to satisfy his appetite, but, the belly of the lawless, shall want.

²⁹ The beauty of young men, is their strength, and, the ornament of old men, a hoary head.

¹⁵ Then extolled I, gladness, in that there was nothing better for a man, under the sun, than to eat and to drink, and to be glad,––since, that, should tarry with him in his toil, for the days of his life which God had given him under the sun.

⁵ [SHE] Swarthy, I am but comely, ye daughters of Jerusalem. [THEY] Like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.

²³ In that day, shall there be a highway, from Egypt to Assyria, And, the Assyrians, shall come, into, Egypt, And, the Egyptians, into, Assyria; And, the Egyptians, shall serve, with the Assyrians. ²⁴ In that day, shall, Israel, be, a third, with Egypt and with Assyria,––A blessing in the midst of the earth:

¹¹ The oracle on Dumah: Unto me, is one crying––out of Seir, Watchman! how far gone is the night? Watchman! how far gone is the night?

¹⁶ For, thus, hath My Lord said unto me,––Within a year according to the yearn of a hireling, shall fail all the glory of Kedar;

¹⁶ For, thus, hath My Lord said unto me,––Within a year according to the yearn of a hireling, shall fail all the glory of Kedar; ¹⁷ And, the remnant of the record of bowmen, The heroes of the sons of Kedar, Shall become few; For, Yahweh, God of Israel, hath spoken.

¹³ Then lo! joy and rejoicing, killing oxen, and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine,––Let us eat and drink, For, tomorrow, we may die!

¹ Come near, ye nations, to hear, And, ye races, attend,––Let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof, The world, and all things produced therefrom: ² That Yahweh, hath wrath against all the nations, and indignation against all their host,––He hath devoted them to destruction, He hath delivered them to slaughter; ³ And, their slain, shall be cast out, And, their carcases, the stench of them, shall ascend,––And, the mountains, shall melt away, with their blood. ⁴ Then shall be dissolved, all the host of the heavens, And the heavens, shall roll up as a scroll,––Yea, all their host, shall fade––Like the fading and falling of a leaf from a vine, and, Like what fadeth and falleth from a fig–tree. ⁵ For my sword, hath been sated in the heavens,––Lo! upon Edom, shall it descend, Even on the people whom I have devoted to justice. ⁶ A sword, hath Yahweh––Glutted with blood, Sated with fat,––With the blood of well–fed lambs, and he–goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams,––For, a sacrifice, hath Yahweh, in Bozrah, Yea a great slaughter, in the land of Edom; ⁷ Then shall buffaloes come down with them, And bullocks with bulls,––So shall their land be soaked with blood, And, their dust, with fat, shall be enriched. ⁸ For, a day of avenging, hath Yahweh,––A year of requitals, for the quarrel of Zion.
⁹ Then shall, the torrents thereof, be turned, into pitch, And, the dust thereof, into brimstone,––So shall her land become burning pitch: ¹⁰ Neither, night nor day, shall it be quenched, To times age–abiding, shall ascend the smoke thereof,––From generation to generation, shall it be waste, Never, never, shall any pass through it: ¹¹ That the vomiting pelican and the bittern, may possess it: And, the great owl and the raven, dwell therein; Then will he stretch out over it, The line of desolation, and, The plummet of emptiness. ¹² Her nobles (but none are, there!) unto royalty, will call,––All, all her princes, shall become nought. ¹³ Then shall come up, in her palaces, thorns, Nettles and thistles, in her fortresses,––And she shall become, A home for wild dogs, An enclosure for ostriches; ¹⁴ Then shall criers meet with howlers, And, the shaggy creature, unto his fellow, shall call,––Only, there, shall, the night–spectre, Make her settlement, And find for herself a place of rest: ¹⁵ There, shall, the arrow–snake, Make her nest and lay, And hatch, and gather under her shadow,––Only, there, shall be gathered the falcons, every one with her mate. ¹⁶ Seek ye out of the scroll of Yahweh, and read, Not, one from among them, is lacking, None, hath missed, her mate,––For, a mouth, hath, itself, commanded, And, his spirit, hath, itself, gathered them: ¹⁷ Yea, he himself, hath cast for them a lot, And, his own hand, hath given to them a portion, by line,––Unto times age–abiding, shall they possess it, To generation after generation, shall they dwell therein.

³⁰ Youths, both faint and grow weary, And, young warriors––they fall, they fall; ³¹ But, they who wait for Yahweh, shall renew their strength, They shall mount on strong pinion, like eagles,––They shall run, and not grow weary, They shall walk, and not faint.

¹¹ Let the wilderness, shout, and the cities thereof, The villages, wherein dwelleth Kedar,––Let the inhabitants of the crag, raise shouts of triumph, From the top of the mountains, let them cry aloud:

¹¹ Thus, saith Yahweh, The Holy One of Israel, And his Fashioner, As to things to come, they have asked me, Concerning my sons and concerning the work of my hands, they would command me!

⁹ Then, shalt thou, Call, and, Yahweh, will answer, Cry out, and he will say, Behold me! If thou remove, out of thy midst, The yoke, The pointing of the finger, and, The speaking of iniquity;

⁶ The multitude of camels, shall cover thee, The young camels of Midian and Ephah, All they of Sheba, shall come,––Gold and frankincense, shall they bring, And, the praises of Yahweh, shall they joyfully tell: ⁷ All the flocks of Kedar, shall be gathered unto thee, The rams of Nebaioth, shall wait upon thee,––They shall come up, with acceptance, on mine altar, And, my beautiful, house, will I adorn.

¹ Who, is this, coming in from Edom, With bright–red garments, from Bozrah? This, made splendid in his raiment, Marching on in the greatness of his strength? I, speaking in righteousness, Mighty to save. ² Wherefore, is there red, on thy raiment,––And thy garments, as of one treading in a wine–trough? ³ A winepress, have I trodden, alone, And, of the peoples, there was no, man with me. So I trod them down, in mine anger, And trampled upon them, in mine indignation,––And their life–blood besprinkled my garments, And, all mine apparel, I defiled; ⁴ For, a day of avenging, was in my heart, And, the year of my redeemed, had come. ⁵ Therefore looked I around, and there was none to help,––And I was astonished, that there was none to uphold,––So, mine own arm, brought me salvation, And, mine indignation, the same, upheld me; ⁶ Then trod I down peoples, in mine anger, And make them drunk, with mine indignation, And brought down to the earth their life–blood.

²⁴ And it shall come to pass–That, before they call, I, will answer, And, while yet they, are speaking, I, will hear.

¹¹ So then, with the indignation of Yahweh, am I full, I am too weary to hold it in, [I am constrained] to pour it out, upon the boy in the street, and, upon the circle of young men, together,––For, even husband with wife, will be captured, The elder with him who is full of days;

²³ Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all the clipt–beards;

²⁵ And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;

⁷ Of Edom––Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Is there, no longer, wisdom in Teman? Hath counsel perished from the discerning? Is, their wisdom, corrupt? ⁸ Flee ye, turn, go down deep to dwell, O inhabitant of Dedan,––For, the doom of Esau, have I brought in upon him, The time of his visitation.

⁸ Flee ye, turn, go down deep to dwell, O inhabitant of Dedan,––For, the doom of Esau, have I brought in upon him, The time of his visitation. ⁹ If, grape–gatherers, came to thee, Would they not leave, gleanings? If, thieves in the night, Would they not have taken away what sufficed them? ¹⁰ But, I, have stripped Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, And, to conceal himself, shall he not be able! Spoiled, are his seed, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is, not. ¹¹ Leave thy fatherless children, I, will preserve them alive,––And, thy widows, In me, let them trust. ¹² For, thus, saith Yahweh––Lo! they who had not been adjudged to drink the cup, shall surely drink, And art, thou, the one to go, unpunished? Thou shalt not go unpunished, but, shalt surely drink. ¹³ For, by myself, have I sworn, Declareth Yahweh, That, Bozrah, shall become, an astonishment, a reproach, and a desolation, and a contempt,––And, all her cities, shall become age–abiding desolations. ¹⁴ A report, have I heard from Yahweh, Yea, an envoy, throughout the nations, hath been sent,––Gather yourselves together, and come against her, And arise to the battle. ¹⁵ For lo! Small, have I made thee among the nations,––Despised among men! ¹⁶ Thy monstrous thing, hath deceived thee, The insolence of thy heart, O thou that inhabitest the hidden recesses of the cliff, That holdest fast the height of the hill,––Though thou set high, as an eagle, thy nest, From thence, will I bring thee down, Declareth Yahweh; ¹⁷ So shall, Edom, become, an astonishment,––Every one passing by her, will be astonished and hiss, over all her plagues: ¹⁸ Like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and her neighbours, Saith Yahweh,––There shall not dwell there––a man, Nor sojourn therein––any son of the earth–born. ¹⁹ Lo! like a lion, will he come up from the majesty of the Jordan, unto the pasture perennial, But I will wink––I will make him run away therefrom, Who, then shall be the Chosen One whom, over it, I may set in charge? For who, shall be like unto, me? And who, shall appoint, me, a time? And who, is, the Shepherd, that shall stand before, me? ²⁰ Wherefore, hear ye, The counsel of Yahweh, which he hath counseled against Edom, And his devices which he hath devised against the inhabitants of Teman,––Surely the little ones of the flock, shall drag them away, Surely he will cause their fold to be astounded over them. ²¹ At the noise of their fall, hath trembled the earth, At the outcry, in the Red Sea, was heard its noise. ²² Lo! as an eagle, he shall mount and dart, and spread his wings over Bozrah,––So shall the heart of the heroes of Edom, in that day, become as the heart of a woman in her pain.

³¹ Yea, when ye lift up your gifts, When ye cause your children to pass through the fire, Ye, are defiling yourselves unto all your manufactured gods, unto this day, And shall, I, be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, Surely I will not be enquired of by you.

¹² Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Because of what Edom hath done, in taking vengeance on the house of Judah, so that they have become guilty again and again, and have taken vengeance upon them, ¹³ Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, I will therefore stretch forth my hand over Edom, and will cut off therefrom man and beast, And will deliver it up as a desolation, from Teman, And, they of Dedan, by the sword, shall fall,

¹³ Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, I will therefore stretch forth my hand over Edom, and will cut off therefrom man and beast, And will deliver it up as a desolation, from Teman, And, they of Dedan, by the sword, shall fall, ¹⁴ And I will put forth mine avenging against Edom, by the hand of my people Israel, And they shall deal with Edom, according to mine anger and according to mine indignation,––So shall they know mine avenging, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh,

⁶ With oaks from Bashan, made they thine oars,––Thy benches, made they of ivory, inlaid with boxwood, From the shores of the West:

²⁰ Dedan, was a merchant of thine,––With spreading wraps, for riding:

¹ And the word of Yahweh came, unto me, saying, ² Son of man, Set thy face against Mount Seir,––and prophesy against it; ³ and thou shalt say to it, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Behold me! against thee, Mount Seir,––Therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, And I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment: ⁴ Thy cities, will I lay waste, And, thou––a desolation, shalt become,––So shalt thou know, that, I, am Yahweh. ⁵ Because thou hast had an age–abiding enmity, And hast delivered up the sons of Israel unto the hands of the sword,––In the time of their misfortune, In the time of the final punishment for iniquity, ⁶ Therefore, as I live, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, Surely, regarding blood, will I deal with thee, Blood, therefore, shall pursue thee,––Since, blood, thou hast not hated, Therefore, blood, shall pursue thee, ⁷ So then I will deliver up Mount Seir, to desolation after desolation,––And will cut off therefrom, him that passeth by and him that returneth, ⁸ And I will fill his mountains with his slain,––As for thy hills and thy hollows and all thy channels, they who are thrust through by the sword, shall fall therein: ⁹ Desolations age–abiding, will I make thee, And, thy cities, shall not be inhabited,––So shall ye know, that, I, am Yahweh.
¹⁰ Because thou hast said, the two nations, and the two lands, mine, shall become, that we may possess it, Whereas, Yahweh, had been, there, ¹¹ Therefore, as I live, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, I will even deal according to thine anger, and according to thine envy, wherewith thou hast dealt, out of thy hatred, with them,––So will I make myself known among them, as soon as I shall judge thee! ¹² And thou shalt know, that, I Yahweh, have heard all thy revilings, which thou hast uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, They have become desolate,––To us, have they been given for food; ¹³ And so ye have magnified yourselves against me, with your mouth, And have caused to abound against me, your words,––I, have heard! ¹⁴ Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh,––When all the earth is rejoicing, a desolation, will I make thee: ¹⁵ As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it had become a desolation, so, will I do unto thee,––A desolation, shalt thou become, O Mount Seir, And all Edom, all of it, So shall they know, that, I, am Yahweh.

³⁷ Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Even yet––for this, will I be prevailed upon by the house of Israel, to work for them,––I will multiply them––Like a flock––with men:

³ In the womb, took he his brother by the heel; and, in his manly vigour, strove he with God:

¹¹ Thus, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Edom, and because of four, will I not turn it back,––Because he pursued, with the sword, his brother, and stifled his compassions, and his anger tare in pieces evermore, and, his indignation, kept watch perpetually, ¹² Therefore will I send a fire into Teman,––which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.

¹ The vision of Obadiah,––Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, concerning Edom––A rumour, have we heard from Yahweh, and, a herald, throughout the nations, hath been sent, Up! and let us rise against her to war. ² Lo! small, have I made thee, among the nations––Despised art thou exceedingly! ³ The insolence of thy heart, hath deceived thee, O thou that inhabitest the retreats of the crag, the height of his habitation,––that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? ⁴ Though thou build high like an eagle, and though, among the stars, thou set thy nest, from thence, will I bring thee down, Declareth Yahweh. ⁵ If, thieves, had come to thee, if robbers by night––how ruined thou art! Would they not have stolen what sufficed them? If, grape–gatherers, had come to thee, Would they not have left gleanings? ⁶ How have the things of Esau been searched out! his treasures been sought up! ⁷ Up to the boundary, have they sent thee––All thy covenant men, they have deceived thee, prevailed against thee––the men thou wast wont to salute,––The partakers of thy bread, have put a net under thee––No understanding in him! ⁸ Shall it not be, in that day, Demandeth Yahweh,––That I will destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of Mount Esau? ⁹ So shall thy mighty men, O Teman, be dismayed,––to the intent that every man, may be cut off, out of Mount Esau, by slaughter.
¹⁰ For thy violence against thy brother Jacob, shall shame, cover thee,––so shalt thou be cut off, to times age–abiding. ¹¹ In the day when thou didst take thy stand over against him, in the day when foreigners took captive his forces,––and, aliens, entered his gates, and, over Jerusalem, cast lots, even thou, wast like one of them! ¹² Do not, then, look with satisfaction upon the day of thy brother, upon the day of his calamity, Neither rejoice over the sons of Judah––in the day of their ruin,––nor enlarge thy mouth––in the day of distress: ¹³ Do not enter into the gate of my people––in the day of their misfortune, Do not, thou also, look with satisfaction on his misery––in the day of his misfortune; neither do thou thrust [thy hands] on his substance––in the day of his misfortune; ¹⁴ Neither do thou stand at the parting of the way, to cut off his fugitives,––neither do thou deliver up his survivors––in the day of distress. ¹⁵ For, near, is the day of Yahweh, upon all the nations,––Just as thou hast done, shall it be done to thee, Thy dealing, shall come back upon thine own head. ¹⁶ For, as ye have drunk on my holy mountain, all the nations shall drink continually,––Yea they shall drink and swallow down, and shall be, as though they had not been.

¹³ Then said Yahweh unto me, Cast it into the treasury, the magnificent price at which I had been valued by them! So I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them, in the house of Yahweh, into the treasury.

² I have loved you, saith Yahweh, and yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Is not Esau, brother, to Jacob? enquireth Yahweh, Yet have I loved Jacob, ³ And, Esau, have I hated,–– and made his mountains a desolation, and his inheritance [a dwelling] for the jackals of the wilderness. ⁴ Whereas Edom, may say, We are laid waste, but we will again build the desolate places, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, They, may build, but, I, will pull down,–– and men shall call them, The Boundary of Lawlessness, and, The people with whom Yahweh hath indignation unto times age–abiding; ⁵ And, your own eyes, shall see,––and, ye yourselves, shall say, Yahweh, be magnified, beyond the boundary of Israel.

¹⁴ Ye have said, Vain is it to serve God,––and, What profit when we have kept his charge, or when we have walked gloomily before Yahweh of hosts?

² Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob, begat Judah and his brethren;

⁴⁵ That ye may become sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because, his sun, he maketh arise on evil and good, and sendeth rain, on just and unjust.

²⁷ All things, unto me, have been delivered up by my Father; and, no one, fully knoweth the Son, save the rather, neither doth any one fully know, the Father, save, the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son, may be minded, to reveal, him.

⁵ And, they, slighting it, went off, one, indeed, into his own field, and, another, unto his merchandise,––

¹⁵ and said––What are ye willing to give unto me? and, I, unto you, will deliver him up. And they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.

¹⁸ And Jesus, coming near, spake unto them, saying––All authority, in heaven and on earth, hath been given unto me;

²³ and he took an oath to her––Whatsoever thou shalt ask me, I will give thee, unto half my kingdom.

⁷ and they had no child, inasmuch as Elizabeth was barren, and, both, had become, advanced in their days.

¹³ But the messenger said unto him––Do not fear, Zachariah! Inasmuch as thy supplication hath been hearkened to,––and, thy wife Elizabeth, shall bring forth a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name, John;

³⁴ of Jacob, of Isaac, of Abraham,––of Terah, of Nahor:

²⁷ And, many lepers, were in Israel, in the time of Elisha the prophet, and, not one of them, was cleansed, save Naaman the Syrian.

¹¹ But which is the father, from among yourselves, whom the son will ask for, a fish, who, instead of a fish, will give him, a serpent? ¹² Or shall also ask, an egg, who will give him, a scorpion? ¹³ If therefore, ye, being, evil, know how to be giving, good gifts, unto your children, how much rather, will, the heavenly Father, give Holy Spirit unto them that ask him!

¹⁸ And they all began, one after another to excuse themselves. The first, said unto him––A field, have I bought, and have need to go out and see it: I request thee, hold me excused. ¹⁹ And, another, said––Five yoke of oxen, have I bought, and am going my way to prove them; I request thee, hold me excused. ²⁰ And, another, said––A wife, have I married, and, for this cause, I cannot come!

³⁵ The Father, loveth the Son, and, all things, hath given into his hand.

² Even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that, as touching whatsoever thou hast given him, he might give unto them, life age–abiding.

⁵ And, as Ananias heard these words, he fell, and expired. And there came great fear upon all that heard;

¹⁰ And she fell instantly at his feet, and expired. And the young men, coming in, found her dead; and, bearing her forth, they buried her with her husband.

⁸ And he gave unto him a covenant of circumcision; and, thus, he begat Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac, Jacob, and Jacob, the twelve patriarchs.

²³ And, instantly, there smote him, a messenger of the Lord, because he gave not the glory unto God; and, becoming worm–eaten, he expired.

³⁶ For, David, indeed, unto his own generation having done service, by the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was added unto fathers, and saw corruption;

⁴¹ See, ye despisers, and marvel, and disappear: in that, a work, am, I, working in your days,––a work, which in nowise will ye believe, though one relate it in full unto you.

¹⁷ Although, not without witness, he left himself, doing good, from heaven, upon you, giving rain and fruitful seasons, filling, with food and gladness, your hearts.

¹⁷ And, if children, heirs also––heirs, indeed, of God, but co–heirs with Christ,––if, at least, we are suffering together, in order that we may also be glorified together.

³² He, at least, who his own Son did not spare, but in behalf of us all delivered him up, how shall he not also, with him, all things upon us in favour bestow?

⁷ Neither, because they are seed of Abraham, are all children,––but, In Isaac, shall there be called unto thee a seed. ⁸ That is––not the children of the flesh, the same are children of God; but, the children of the promise, are reckoned as a seed. ⁹ For, of promise, is this word––According to this season, will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. ¹⁰ And, not only so, but, when, Rebekah also, was with child, of one––Isaac our father,––

¹⁰ And, not only so, but, when, Rebekah also, was with child, of one––Isaac our father,–– ¹¹ They, in fact, not being yet born, nor having practised anything good or bad,––in order that the purpose of God by way of election might stand,––not by works but by him that was calling,

¹¹ They, in fact, not being yet born, nor having practised anything good or bad,––in order that the purpose of God by way of election might stand,––not by works but by him that was calling, ¹² It was said unto her––The elder, shall serve the younger;

¹² It was said unto her––The elder, shall serve the younger; ¹³ Even as it is written––Jacob, have I loved, but, Esau, have I hated.

²¹ So then, let, no one, be boasting in men; for, all things, are yours–– ²² Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come, all, are, yours, ²³ And, ye, are Christ’s,––and, Christ, is, God’s.

³² If, after the manner of men, I have fought with wild–beasts at Ephesus, what, to me, the profit? If the dead are not raised, Let us eat and drink, for, tomorrow, we die.

²⁹ Now, if, ye, are of Christ, by consequence ye are, Abraham’s seed, according to promise, heirs.

²⁸ And, we, brethren, after the manner of Isaac, are children of a promise.

¹⁸ For, many, are walking––of whom I have often been telling you, and, now, even weeping, am telling,––the enemies of the cross of the Christ; ¹⁹ Whose, end, is destruction, whose, God, is the belly, and [whose], glory, is in their shame, who, upon the earthly things, are resolved.

¹⁹ Because, in him, was all the fullness well pleased to dwell,

² At the end of these days, He hath spoken unto us in his Son,––whom he hath appointed heir of all things, through whom also he hath made the ages;

¹⁶ For, men, by the greater one, swear, and, with them, an end of all gainsaying by way of confirmation is, the oath:

⁹ By faith, he sojourned in the land of promise, as a foreign land, in tents, dwelling, along with Isaac and Jacob, the joint–heirs of the same promise;

¹⁶ Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, like Esau,––who, for the sake of one meal, yielded up his own firstborn rights;

¹⁶ Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, like Esau,––who, for the sake of one meal, yielded up his own firstborn rights; ¹⁷ For ye know that, afterwards––when he even wished to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for, place of repentance, found he none, even though, with tears, he diligently sought it.
