And when the Egyptians were fleeing below the water the Lord shook them off in the midst of the sea; ²⁸ and the water being brought back to its place overwhelmed the chariots and the horsemen and all the host of Pharao who had marched after the Israelites into the sea, so that not one of them was left.

And by thy hand, Almighty Sovereign, all things are made great and strong.

⁹ Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron. Thou shalt break them to pieces like a potter's vessel."

⁷ Display marvellously thy mercies, O thou, who, with thy right hand, savest from adversaries them who trust in thee.

³ For they took not possession of the land with their own sword: nor was it their own arm that saved them: but thy right hand and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou tookest pleasure in them.

⁵ that thy beloved may be delivered, save with thy right hand and hearken to me.

¹¹ Why dost thou withdraw thy hand? Let thy right hand be ever out of thy bosom.

¹⁰ Then I said, I have now made a beginning; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.

⁸ Lord, the God of hosts, who is like thee? Thou, Lord, art mighty and thy truth is around thee. ⁹ Thou rulest the raging of the sea, and stillest the rolling billows thereof. ¹⁰ Thou hast humbled the proud like one slain; with thy mighty arm thou hast scattered thy foes. ¹¹ Thine are the heavens, and the earth is thine, thou hast founded the World and its fulness. ¹² Thou hast created the north and the west; let Thabor and Hermon rejoice at thy name. ¹³ Thine arm is endowed with power; let thy hand be strong; thy right hand exalted.

¹ A Psalm by David. Sing to the Lord, a new song, that the Lord hath done wonderful things. His own right hand and his holy arm hath saved him.

¹⁵ A sound of joy and deliverance in the tents of the righteous! The right hand of the Lord hath exerted power! ¹⁶ The right hand of the Lord hath exalted me; the right hand of the Lord hath exerted power.

¹⁴ And its fall shall be like the breaking of an earthen vessel, the fragments of which are so small that there cannot be found among them a sherd on which thou canst carry fire or with which thou canst scoop up a little water.

⁹ Awake, awake, Jerusalem! and clothe thyself with the strength of thine arm. Awake as at the beginning of day.

¹⁰ let the Lord therefore make bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations! and let all the ends of the earth see the salvation come from our God.

¹⁴ And I will scatter them, their heads of families and their brethren, both fathers and their sons at the same time. I will not have compassion, saith the Lord, nor will I spare, nor pity them for their destruction.

¹³ and bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil [for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for the ages, amen.

²⁷ [and he shall rule them with a rod of iron. Like vessels of potter's clay they shall be broken in pieces,]

¹⁶ but thou hast been preserved for this purpose that by thee I might display my power and that my name may be celebrated throughout all the earth.

²⁶ There is none like the God of the Beloved. He who rideth on the heaven is thy helper, And be is mighty to give support.

¹³ mouth, the word of their lips. Under destructive wrath they cannot subsist. Let them know that the God of Jacob ruleth

³³ who rode on the eastern heaven of heaven. Behold with his voice he will utter a voice of power.

⁴⁹ having sent out against them his fierce anger, wrath and indignation and affliction; a mission executed by evil angels: ⁵⁰ he paved a way for his vengeance; he spared not their lives from death: he delivered up their cattle to pestilence,

¹³ My God make them like a whirl; like stubble opposed to wind.

¹³ let them praise the name of the Lord; for his name alone is exalted. To him belongeth thanksgiving, on earth and in heaven.

¹⁶ and the Lord of Hosts shall be exalted in judgment; and God, the Holy One, shall be glorified by righteousness;

²⁴ For this cause, as stubble will be set on fire by a coal, and consumed by a neglected flame; their root shall be like touch wood, and their blossom shall ascend like dust: for they desired not the law of the Lord of Hosts: but provoked to wrath the manifestion of the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁷ Incline, Lord, thine ear! Lord, hearken! Open, O Lord, thine eyes! Lord, look down and behold the words of Sennacherim which he hath sent to reproach the Living God.

²³ whom hast thou reproached and provoked? Or against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, [without lifting up thine eye to the Holy One of Israel?]

²⁹ and thy bitterness are come up to me; I will therefore put a hook in thy nose and a bridle in thy jaws; and turn thee back by the way in which thou camest."

³⁶ Thereupon Sennacherim king of the Assyrians retreated and went and dwelt in Ninive.

¹⁴ Behold like brambles on a fire they shall all be burned up; and shall not deliver their own life from the flame. Seeing thou hast coals of fire, sit upon them;

⁶ They are silver which can be formed into plates.

¹¹ Now indeed many nations are assembled against thee, saying, "Let us rejoice exceedingly and let our eyes look upon Sion."

⁹ What are you devising against the Lord? He will make complete destruction, and not punish twice by distress for the same thing. ¹⁰ Because one shall be utterly destroyed, and consumed like bindweed and dry stubble; ¹¹ shall a reasoning against the Lord proceed from thee; wicked city, devising2 things in opposition? ¹² Thus saith the Lord, With respect to the ruler of many waters! they shall be so dispersed, that what thou hearest shall be heard no more.

⁸ for thus saith the Lord Almighty. He behind glory hath sent me against the nations which plundered you: for he who toucheth you, is like one touching the apple of his eye.

³ the Lord indeed will come forth and draw up in array among the nations, as in the day of his array in the day of battle;

⁸ And on that day living water will flow out of Jerusalem; the one half of it to the eastern sea and the one half of it to the western sea, both in summer and spring it shall be so.

¹ For behold a day is coming, heated like an oven, which shall set them on fire. And all aliens and all workers of iniquity shall be like stubble. The day which is coming shall blaze upon them, saith the Lord Almighty, and of them neither root nor branch shall be left.

¹² His winnowing instrument is in his hand. He will thoroughly clean his floor, and gather his wheat for the granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."

⁴ And having fallen on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, Why persecutes! thou me?"

²¹ And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the Lord restrained the sea that whole night with a strong south easterly wind and made the sea dry ground; and the water was cleft asunder. ²² And the Israelites went into the midst of the sea as on dry ground. And the water thereof was a wall on the right and a wall on the left.

¹⁶ Then were seen the outlets of the sea; And the foundations of the earth were disclosed, At the rebuke of the Lord; At the blast of the breath of his anger.

⁹ By the decree of the Lord they shall perish; and by the blast of his ire be utterly consumed.

¹³ He had cleft the sea and led them through it; he had stayed the waters as in a bottle.

⁴ but he will administer justice to the lowly, and work conviction in the meek of the earth. And he will smite the earth with the word of his mouth, and with a breath from his lips destroy the wicked.

⁷ Behold I am about to put such a spirit in him, that he having heard news will return to his own country: and he shall fall by the sword in his own land."

¹⁰ peoples shall see and be in pangs." Thou art scattering the rolling waters. The deep roared. It swelled high.

⁸ then will be revealed that lawless one, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of his mouth. With the brightness of his coming he will indeed put a stop to the operations

²⁷ Benjamin is a ravening wolf. In the morning he is still eating, and for the evening he provideth food.

⁵ Now when the king of the Egyptians was told that the people had fled, his heart and the heart of his servants were turned against the people. And they said, What is this we have done in sending the Israelites away from serving us?

⁸ for the Lord had emboldened the heart of Pharao king of Egypt and of his attendants: he pursued the Israelites. Though the Israelites had gone out with a high hand, ⁹ yet the Egyptians pursued them with all the cavalry and the chariots of Pharao. And his horsemen and his army found them encamped by the sea with the sheep cot on one flank and Beelsepphon on the other.

³⁰ Shall they not find him dividing spoil? Will he shew compassion to the head of a man? Sisara shall have spoils of richest dyes; Spoils of richest dyes of needle work. Rich dyes of embroidery are the spoils for his neck!

² Jezabel sent to Elias, and said, As sure as thou art Elias, and I Jezabel, God do so to me and more also, if by this time to-morrow I do not make thy life like the life of one of them.

¹⁰ Son Ader sent to him saying, God do so to me and more also, if I do not make Samaria a jakes for all the people of my infantry.

⁸ Even though they should say to him, Thou alone art chief. ⁹ He indeed will say, "Have I not taken the whole country above Babylon and Chalene, where the tower had been builded? Nay have I not taken Arabia and Damascus and Samaria? ¹⁰ In the same manner as I have taken these; so will I take all the governments. Howl ye graven images in Jerusalem and in Samaria; ¹¹ for as I have done to Samaria and her images, so will I do to Jerusalem and her idols." ¹² But it shall come to pass, when the Lord hath accomplished his whole work on mount Sion and Jerusalem; that I will cast a look on the stout heart; on the chief ruler of the Assyrians, and on the loftiness of the glory of his eyes. ¹³ For he said, "With this power I will perform exploits; and by the wisdom of mine understanding I will remove the boundaries of nations, and make a prey of their strength,

²⁰ Who is there of all the gods of the nations who hath delivered his country out of my hand, that God should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

¹² therefore he shall inherit many and divide the spoils of the strong. [p] Because his soul was delivered up to death and he was numbered among transgressors and bore away the sins of many and on account of their iniquities was delivered up;

¹⁴ Thou hast struck with consternation the heads of mighties, at this they will be appalled! They will slacken their reins and be like a poor man eating in secret,

²² But when one stronger than he attacketh and overcometh him, he taketh from him his armour on which he relied. Then he divideth his spoils.

¹ Now God had remembered Noe and all the beasts and all the cattle and all the fowls and all the reptiles which creep, even all that were with him in the ark; and God brought a wind over the earth and aswaged the water.

²¹ And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the Lord restrained the sea that whole night with a strong south easterly wind and made the sea dry ground; and the water was cleft asunder.

⁵ In the sea, he whelmed them; They sank to the bottom like a stone.

⁴ and what he did to the army of the Egyptians; to their chariots, and their cavalry, and their host; how the Lord caused the water of the Red sea to overwhelm them, when they were pursuing you, and destroyed them even to this day:

¹³ Thou by thy power didst exercise dominion over the sea: thou didst crush the heads of the dragons in the water. ¹⁴ Thou didst crush the heads of the dragon: thou gavest him to be meat for the Ethiopean tribes.

⁷ When he brought clouds from the end of the earth; he made lightnings for the purpose of rain. He it is who bringeth winds out of his treasuries:

¹⁸ Let him but send forth his word and he will melt them; let him but blow his breath and the waters will flow.

¹⁵ And the Lord will dry up the sea of Egypt, and lay his hand on the river with a vehement wind; and smite the seven channels, so that they may be crossed dry shod.

¹³ and the multitude of waters in heaven: when he brought up clouds from the extremity of the earth; he made the lightning for rain, and brought light forth from his treasuries.

¹³ for behold here am I, who give strength to thunder; Who create wind, and proclaim for men his anointed one; who make the morning dawn and thick darkness, and who walk on the high places of the earth, whose name is the Lord God, Omnipotent.

²⁷ And the men in amaze, said, "What sort of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?"

¹⁰ And he said against to morrow. And Moses said, It shall be as thou hast spoken. That thou mayst know that there is no other besides the Lord;

² Speak to the congregation of the children of Israel; and thon shalt say unto them, You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.

²⁴ Lord God, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy majesty, and thy power, and thy mighty hand, and thy outstretched arm; for what god is there in heaven, or on earth, who can do as thou hast done, or according to thy majesty.

² Because there is none holy like the Lord, And none is righteous like our God, There is none holy besides thee.

²² with respect to the magnifying of thee, my Lord! that there is none like thee, and that there is not a god besides thee among all that we have heard of with our ears.

²³ and said, Lord the God of Israel, there is no god like thee in the heaven above and on the earth below, keeping covenant and mercy with thy servant who walketh before thee with his whole heart.

¹⁰ Let all my bones say, Lord, who is like thee, who deliverest the afflicted from the hand of them who are stronger than he; the afflicted and needy from them who spoil him?

⁵ Come and see the works of God! He is awful in counsels touching the sons of men.

¹⁴ Thou art the God who worketh miracles: thou hast made thy power known among the tribes.

¹⁹ Thy way was through the sea, and thy paths through many waters; but thy footsteps could not be known.

⁸ There is none among gods like thee, Lord: nor are any works to be compared to thine.

⁵ Lord, let the heavens praise thy wonders and thy truth in the congregation of the saints. ⁶ For who in heaven can be compared to the Lord? Or who among the sons of God, likened to the Lord? ⁷ God is glorified in the counsel of the holy; great and awful among all around him. ⁸ Lord, the God of hosts, who is like thee? Thou, Lord, art mighty and thy truth is around thee.

¹⁸ For thou art the help of our Lord even of the Holy One of Israel, our king.

¹¹ whoever knoweth the power of thine anger, be taught, on the account of the terror of thy wrath,

¹²⁰ Penetrate my flesh with the dread of thee; for I am terrified at thy judgments.

¹⁷ The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and bountiful in all his works.

³ And they cried one to another and said, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts; the whole earth is filled with his glory."

¹¹ and turn us from this way, and take from us this path, and take from us the oracle of Israel."

¹⁸ to whom have you likened the Lord? and to what likeness have you compared him?

²⁵ Now therefore to whom have you likened me; that I may be exalted? said the Holy One.

¹⁵ Thus saith the Most High, who on earth inhabiteth eternity, who is Holy among holies; whose name is THE MOST HIGH; who at rest in the holies giveth patience to the humble, and life to them who are of a contrite heart;

² as wax melteth before fire; and a fire will burn up the adversaries, and thy name will be manifest to the adversaries; At thy presence the nations will be troubled. ³ When thou executest thy glorious works, because of thee, terror will seize the mountains.

⁶ They are silver which can be formed into plates. ⁷ [Omitted]

¹⁶ Unlike to these is the portion of Jacob: for he who formed all things is his inheritance. His name is, The Lord.

¹⁹ Behold they shall be like the lion which must go up from the swelling of Jordan to Aitham. For I will speedily drive them from that place. Therefore set ye chosen warriors against it.

⁵ but I will point out to you whom you should fear; Fear him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. I repeat it to you, Fear him.

²⁸ As we have therefore received a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have gratitude by which we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and holy awe: ²⁹ for our God is a consuming fire.

¹⁵ but as he who hath called you is holy, be ye also holy in the whole course of your life; ¹⁶ for it is written, "Be ye holy, because I am holy."

⁸ And the four animate beings had, each of them six wings around and underneath they were full of eyes. And they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!

⁴ Who would not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou alone art perfect. For all the nations will come and worship before thee, For thy rules of rectitude are made manifest.

¹ And after this I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Alleluia! the salvation and the glory and the honour and the power be to the Lord our God; ² for true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath passed sentence on the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and hath avenged the blood of his servants, at her hand. ³ [And again they said, alleluia!] and the smoke of her goeth up for the ages of the ages. ⁴ And the four and twenty elders and the four animate beings fell down and worshipped God who sat on the throne, saying, Amen. Alleluia. ⁵ And there came out from the throne a voice, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants and ye who fear him, both small and great. ⁶ And I heard as it were a voice of a great multitude and as a sound of many waters, and as it were a peal of mighty thunder saying, Alleluia. Because the Lord God the Omnipotent reigneth,

⁶ Thy right hand, Lord, is glorious in power. Thy right hand, Lord, dashed enemies to pieces.

¹⁶ But they were confounded. So the angels took hold of his hand, and the hand of his wife, and the hands of his two daughters, as the Lord spared him.

¹² With a pillar of cloud thou didst guide them by day; and by night with a pillar of fire, to illumine the way for them in which they should go:

¹⁴ Thou art the God who worketh miracles: thou hast made thy power known among the tribes. ¹⁵ With thine arm thou didst redeem this people of thine; the children of Jacob and Joseph.

²⁰ Thou leddest thy people like a flock: by the ministry of Moses and Aaron.

⁵² and brought out his people like sheep, and led them like a flock in the desert, ⁵³ and guided them safely, so that they were not afraid, though the sea overwhelmed their enemies; ⁵⁴ and brought them to the mount of his holiness; to this mountain which his right hand purchased;

¹ For the conclusion. Respecting them who are to be changed. A testimony. By Asaph. A Psalm respecting the Assyrian. Give ear, O shepherd of Israel! Who leadest Joseph like a flock; thou who art enthroned on the cherubim;

⁹ He rebuked the Red sea and it was dried up; and he led them through the deep as through a wilderness;

¹² That glorious arm of his which led Moses by the right hand? He forced back the water from before him, to make himself an everlasting name. ¹³ He led them through the deep, like a horse through a desert; and they were not fatigued:

⁶ and did not say, Where is the Lord, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt; who led us through the wilderness; through a boundless and untrodden land; through a land without water and without fruit; through a land which no man traversed, and where no man had a fixed abode.

⁴ then God, who is rich in mercy, on the account of the great love with which he loved us,

⁵ who are, during belief, kept safely by the power of God, for a deliverance prepared to be revealed in the last time;

¹⁴ Nay though all the inhabitants of this land have heard that thou the Lord art among this people; that they with their eyes may behold thee, Lord, exposed to view; and that thy cloud hath stood over them, and that thou marchest before them in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night;

⁵ he therefore had sent messengers to Balaam, son of Beor, at Pathoura, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to invite him to come to him, saying, Behold there is a people come out of Egypt; and lo! they have covered the face of this land, and are settled down near me.

⁴ and give thou a charge to this people, saying, You are about to march along by the borders of your brethren, the children of Esau who inhabit Seir. They will be afraid of you, and dread you exceedingly. ⁵ You must not come to battle with them; for I will not give you a foot of their land, because I have given mount Seir to the children of Esau for a possession.

²⁵ Begin to impress the fear of thee, and the dread of thee, on the face of all the nations under heaven. They who hear of thy name shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

⁹ and said to them, I know that the Lord hath given you this land; for the dread of you is fallen upon us: ¹⁰ for we have heard that the Lord God dried up the Bed sea on your account, when you came out of Egypt, and all that he hath done to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the borders of the Jordan, to Seon and Og, whom you have utterly destroyed:

²⁴ And they answered Joshua saying, We were told all that the Lord thy God commanded his servant Moses, to give yon this land, and to extirpate us, and all the inhabitants thereof from before you, therefore we were in great terror for our lives because of you, and we did this.

⁶ a trembling seized them: pangs were there as of a woman in travail.

²⁹ Rejoice not, foreign tribes, with one consent, because the yoke of him who smote you is broken; for from the seed of a serpent will come forth young asps, and their offspring will be flying serpents.

³¹ Raise the mournful cry ye gates of cities; foreign tribes! let harassed cities scream with one consent: for a smoke is coming from the north, which cannot be endured;

¹⁵ These were the emirs of son Esau. The sons of Eliphas, Esau's first born. Emir Thaiman, emir Omar, emir Sophar, emir Kenez,

⁴⁰ These are the names of the emirs of Esau in their tribes according to their place in their countries and their nations; Emir of Thamna, emir of Gola, emir of Jether,

¹⁴ Then Moses sent messengers from Kades, to the king of Edom, saying, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the trouble that hath befallen us. ¹⁵ Our fathers went down in 16 to Egypt, and we have sojourned in Egypt many years. And when the Egyptians ill treated us and our fathers, ¹⁶ we cried to the Lord, and the Lord hearkened to our voice; and having sent a messenger he hath brought us out of Egypt, and we are now at Kades, a city on the extremity of thy borders. ¹⁷ Let us pass through thy land. We will not march through the fields, nor vineyards, nor drink water out of thy cisterns. We will march along the king's high way, and will not turn aside to the right, nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders. ¹⁸ But Edom said to him, Thou shalt not pass through me. If thou attempt it, I will come out to meet thee in battle. ¹⁹ Whereupon the children of Israel said, Let us pass through along the mountains, and if I, or my cattle drink of thy water, I will make thee compensation. Grant but this. It is but a small matter. Let us march through along the mountain. ²⁰ But he said, Thou shalt not pass through me. And Edom came out to meet him with a great multitude, and a strong hand. ²¹ As Edom would not grant Israel a passage through his borders, therefore they turned aside from him;

³ though Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were numerous, yet Moab was incensed at the sight of the Israelites, ⁴ and said to the Senate of Madiam, Now will this congregation lick up all around us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. Now Balak, son of Sepphor, was at that time king of Moab, ⁵ he therefore had sent messengers to Balaam, son of Beor, at Pathoura, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to invite him to come to him, saying, Behold there is a people come out of Egypt; and lo! they have covered the face of this land, and are settled down near me.

⁴ and give thou a charge to this people, saying, You are about to march along by the borders of your brethren, the children of Esau who inhabit Seir. They will be afraid of you, and dread you exceedingly.

⁸ And the scribes shall further speak to the people, and say, Is there any man fearful, and faint hearted; let him go, and return to his family, lest he make the heart of his brother faint as his own.

⁹ and said to them, I know that the Lord hath given you this land; for the dread of you is fallen upon us:

¹¹ and, upon hearing these things, we became faint hearted, and there was no spirit in any of us because of you. Since, then, the Lord your God is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath,

²⁴ And they said to him, Because the Lord hath delivered up all that land into our hands, therefore all the inhabitants of the land are in the utmost consternation because of us.

¹ Now when the kings of the Amorites, who were on the border of the Jordan, and the kings of Phoenicia, who were on the sea coast, heard that the Lord God had dried up the river Jordan before the Israelites, when they crossed, their hearts were melted, and they were struck with consternation, and there was no spirit in them because of the Israelites.

⁸ My brethren who went up with me disturbed the heart of the people; but I determined to follow the Lord my God;

¹⁶ And the watchmen of Saul, at Gabaa of Benjamin, looked, and behold the camp was in confusion from one side to the other.

¹⁰ in which case the son of valour himself, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will assuredly be dismayed. For all Israel know that thy father is a mighty man, and that they who are with him are sons of valour.

⁵¹ The emirs of Edom were, emir Thamna, emir Golada, emir Jether, ⁵² emir Elibamas, emir Elas, emir Phinon, ⁵³ emir Kenez, emir Thaiman, emir Babsar, emir Magediel, ⁵⁴ emir Zaphoin. These were the emirs of Edom.

² As smoke vanisheth, let them disappear: as wax melteth before fire, so let sinners perish at the presence of God.

⁷ therefore every hand shall be enfeebled; and every man's heart shall be dismayed.

¹ A vision concerning Egypt. Behold the Lord is seated on a swift cloud; and he will come into Egypt; and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence; and the heart of the people shall melt within them.

⁷ And if they say to thee, Why art thou groaning? Then thou shalt say, Because of the news: for it is coming: and every heart shall be broken, and all hands enfeebled; and all flesh and every spirit shall faint; and all thighs shall be polluted with filth. Behold it is coming! saith the Lord."

¹⁰ What quaking and driving! what groans and heart breaking! what feebleness of knees and pangs in every loin! what blackness, like that of a pot, on the countenance of all!

⁷ Instead of labours I beheld his marches of old. The dwellings of the Ethiopians shall be terrified! And the tents of the land of Madian!

⁷ But among all the children of Israel and their cattle not even a dog shall bark at man or beast, that thou mayst know what a distinction the Lord will make between the Egyptians and the Israelites.

⁵ Now therefore if you will hearken diligently to my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be to me a peculiar people above all the nations; for the whole earth is mine: ⁶ but as for you, you shall be a royal priesthood and a holy nation. These words thou shalt deliver to the children of Israel.

²⁷ And I will send terror before thee and confound all the nations to which thou shalt go; and cause all thy adversaries to flee before thee.

²⁵ None shall be able to stand before you. For the Lord your God will impress the fear of you, and the dread of you, on the face of all the land on which you shall tread, as the Lord hath said to you.

⁶ Do ye thus requite the Lord? Are the people so foolish and unwise? Did not this thy father purchase thee? Did he not make and fashion thee?

⁹ And the Lord's portion was his people Jacob; Israel was his lot of inheritance.

⁹ He granteth the petitioner his prayer, And hath blessed the years of the righteous; Because a man is not mighty in strength,

³⁷ But in the morning when Nabal had recovered from his wine, his wife told him all these things. and his heart was confounded, and he became like a stone.

²³ Moreover what other nation is there on the earth like thy people Israel? How hath God gone before them to redeem a people for himself; to make thyself a name; to display majesty and an appearance of deity; to drive out from before thy people, whom thou hadst redeemed for thyself out of Egypt,

² Remember thy congregation which thou hast purchased of old; this portion of thine inheritance which thou hast redeemed; this mount Sion on which thou hast dwelt.

¹ Still however thus saith the Lord, the God who made thee Jacob, and who formed thee, Israel! fear not. Because I have redeemed thee; have called thee by thy name; thou art mine; ² therefore when thou passest through water, I am with thee, and the streams shall not overwhelm thee: and when thou passest through fire, thou shalt not be burned up; the flame shall not quite consume thee. ³ Because I the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel am thy Saviour, I have given Egypt for thy ransom and Ethiopia and Soena in thy stead.

¹⁰ Art thou not as the generation of old, which dried up the sea; the swelling water of the deep? Which made the depths of the sea a road for the delivered and redeemed to pass?

¹¹ Because the Lord hath redeemed Jacob; hath rescued him out of the hand of them who were stronger than he;

²⁸ Take heed therefore to yourselves and to the whole flock among which the holy spirit hath made you overseers to tend the congregation of God which he hath purchased with his own blood.

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

⁹ but you being a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people peculiarly set apart that you may publish the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light

¹ Now there were also false prophets among the people, as there will be also among you false teachers, who will introduce destructive sects, denying even the Lord who bought them, bringing on themselves speedy destruction.

² When thy hand had extirpated nations, thou didst plant them: thou didst afflict nations and drive them out.

⁵⁴ and brought them to the mount of his holiness; to this mountain which his right hand purchased; ⁵⁵ and drove out nations from before them, and gave them by lot their several portions, and settled in their dwellings the tribes of Israel.

⁶⁸ but made choice of the tribe of Juda; of this mount Sion which he loved, ⁶⁹ and built his sanctuary like that of unicorns; in this land he founded it for this age,

⁸ Thou has brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out nations and planted it.

¹³ For the Lord hath chosen Sion, and made choice of it for his habitation. ¹⁴ This shall be my rest forever. Here I will dwell, for I have chosen it.

¹ Let me sing for the Beloved, a song of my Beloved to His vineyard. The beloved had a vineyard on a mountain in a rich soil, ² and I hedged it around and trenched it; and planted it with the vine of Sorek; and in the midst of it built a tower, and hewed out therein a wine lake; and waited for its producing grapes, and it produced poisonous berries. ³ Now therefore, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Juda, judge between me and my vineyard. ⁴ What more could I do for my vineyard that I have not done for it? Because I expected that it would produce grapes, and it hath produced poisonous berries;

²¹ I indeed planted thee an entirely good and fruitful vine: how art thou, degenerate vine, turned to bitterness?

²³ For thus saith the Lord, Again they shall use this form of words in the land of Juda and in his cities when I have brought back his captivity, "Blessed be the Lord on his righteous, his holy mountain."

⁴¹ and I will watch over them to do them good, and plant them in this land with faithfulness even with my whole heart and soul.

¹⁶ Let the Lord reign for ever and ever! Perish ye nations out of his land!

¹⁰ the Lord will cause that which was deluged to be inhabited: and the Lord will sit enthroned king forever.

¹⁰ The Lord will reign forever; thy God, Sion, throughout all generations.

⁴⁴ And in the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and this kingdom of his shall not be left to another people. It shall break in pieces, and blow away all those kingdoms and shall itself stand forever.

³ How great and mighty is his kingdom. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; and his dominion is to endless ages.

¹⁴ And to him was given the government and the honour and the kingdom; and all the peoples, tribes and languages are to serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall never pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed.

²⁷ For the kingdom and the dominion and the majesty of the kings who are under the whole heaven, is given to the holy ones of the Most High. And his kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all the governments shall serve and obey him.

¹⁵ Then the seventh angel sounded and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of the world are become [the kingdom] of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for the ages of the ages. ¹⁶ And the four and twenty elders who were seated on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshipped God, ¹⁷ saying, "We thank thee O Lord, the God, the Almighty who is and who was and who is to come, because thou hast assumed thy great power and commenced thy reign.

²² And the Israelites went into the midst of the sea as on dry ground. And the water thereof was a wall on the right and a wall on the left. ²³ And the Egyptians pursued and went in after them, even all Pharao's cavalry and his chariots and charioteers, into the midst of the sea.

²⁸ and the water being brought back to its place overwhelmed the chariots and the horsemen and all the host of Pharao who had marched after the Israelites into the sea, so that not one of them was left. ²⁹ But the Israelites marched on dry ground in the midst of the sea, and the water was a wall to them on their right and on their left.

³¹ A horse is provided for the day of battle: but help cometh from the Lord.

²⁹ By faith they passed through the red sea as on dry ground, which the Egyptians attempting to do were swallowed up.

⁴ And his sister watched it at a distance to see what would become of it.

¹ and while they were at Aseroth, Mariam and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of the Ethiopian woman whom Moses had taken;

¹ When the children of Israel, the whole congregation, came to the wilderness of Sin, in the first month, the people took up their abode at Kades; and there Mariam died, and there she was buried.

⁵⁹ And Kaath begot Ambram, whose wife's name was Jochabed, a daughter of Levi and she bore these for Levi in Egypt; She bore by Ambram, Aaron, and Moses, and Mariam their sister.

⁴ Now Debbora, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, judged Israel at that time,

³⁴ And when the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel, and Jephthae came to Massepha, to his house, behold his daughter came out to meet him, with timbrels and choirs. Now she was his only child. Besides her, he had neither son nor daughter.

²¹ and watch, and behold when the daughters of the inhabitants of Selom go out to dance in choirs, start out from the vineyards, and seize for yourselves every man a wife from among the daughters of Selom, and go to the land of Benjamin.

⁵ And after that thou shalt go to the mount of God, where there is a garrison of the Philistines under Nasib the Philistine; And when you there enter the city, thou wilt meet a choir of prophets coming down from the Bama, with nablas, and tympanums, and pipes, and kinaras before them, and they will be prophesying;

⁶ Now when the choirs of women came out from all the cities of Israel to meet David, dancing to tympanums, and singing songs of triumph, accompanied with cymbals,

⁵ And David and the Israelites played on high toned instruments of music, accompanied with songs, and on kinyras and on nablas, and on tympanums, and on cymbals, and on harps.

¹⁴ And David played on well tuned instruments of music before the Lord; and David having put on an unusual robe,

¹⁶ And as the ark was entering the city of David, Melchol the daughter of Saul looked out at a window, and saw king David dancing, and playing before the Lord, and despised him in her heart.

¹⁴ Accordingly Chelkias the priest went with Achikam and Achobar and Sapphan and Asaias to Olda the prophetess the mother of Sellem son of Thekuan, son of Aras the keeper of the wardrobe. Now she dwelt at Jerusalem in the Masena. And when they had spoken to her,

¹¹ Thou didst turn my mourning into joy; thou didst rend in pieces my sackcloth and gird me with gladness,

¹¹ God the Lord will issue an order to them, who publish good news to the mighty host;

²⁵ The chiefs went before next to the band of musick, in the midst of damsels playing on timbrels,

² Take a psalm and bring a tympanum; the sweet sounding psaltery with a kithara.

³ Let them praise his name in choirs; on the tympanum and psaltery sing praises to him:

⁴ praise him with the tympanum and chorus: praise him with stringed instruments and organs;

⁴ For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, and sent before thee Moses and Aaron and Mariam.

³⁶ There was also one Anna, a prophetess, a daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser. She was far advanced in years. Having lived seven years with a husband from her virgin state,

⁹ Now he had four virgin daughters who were prophetesses.

⁵ and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered dishonoureth her head; for it is the same as if she were shaven.

³⁴ let your women be silent in these congregations: for they are not permitted to talk, but to be in subjection, as the law also saith:

¹ Then sung Moses and the Israelites this song to God, and spoke saying, Let us sing to the Lord, For he is gloriously exalted; Horse and rider he hath thrown in the sea.

³ Hear, kings! and give ear, princes! I will sing to I am, to the Lord I am; I will sing to the Lord, the God of Israel.

⁷ and the women in responsive strains, said, Saul hath slain his thousands; And David his ten thousands,

¹³ so as to join in harmonious concert both with those who led the song and those who made responses to thank and praise the Lord; soon as they raised their voice, with trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and said: O praise the Lord, for it is good, For to everlasting his mercy endureth; immediately the house was filled with the cloud of the glory of the Lord,

⁷ Open wide your gates, ye chiefs! and be opened wide, ye everlasting doors; that the glorious king may enter. ⁸ Who is the glorious king? The Lord strong and mighty: the Lord mighty in battle. ⁹ Open wide your gates, ye chiefs; and be opened wide ye everlasting doors; that the glorious king may enter. ¹⁰ Who is this glorious king? The Lord of Hosts. He is the king of glory.

¹ A Song of the steps. Attend! bless the Lord, all ye servants of the Lord, who stand in the house of the Lord; in the courts of the house of our God. ² At night, lift up your hands to the holies and bless the Lord. ³ May the Lord out of Sion bless thee: he who made the heaven and the earth.

¹ Let me sing for the Beloved, a song of my Beloved to His vineyard. The beloved had a vineyard on a mountain in a rich soil, ² and I hedged it around and trenched it; and planted it with the vine of Sorek; and in the midst of it built a tower, and hewed out therein a wine lake; and waited for its producing grapes, and it produced poisonous berries. ³ Now therefore, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Juda, judge between me and my vineyard. ⁴ What more could I do for my vineyard that I have not done for it? Because I expected that it would produce grapes, and it hath produced poisonous berries; ⁵ now therefore I will tell you, what I purpose to do with my vineyard; I take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be exposed to plunder; and I will demolish its wall, and it shall be for a common walk; ⁶ and I will abandon my vineyard that it may neither be pruned nor digged; and brambles shall overrun it as a waste; and I will give a charge to the clouds not to shed rain upon it. ⁷ For the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts is the house of Israel; and the men of Juda his beloved plant. I waited for their executing justice, but they committed injustice, and promoted not righteousness, but an outcry. ⁸ Woe unto them who join house to house, and who are bringing field nearer to field, that they may take something from their neighbour. Are you alone to dwell in the land? ⁹ For these things have come to the ears of the Lord of Hosts. For though there be many houses they shall be for desolation; though great and fair, there shall be no inhabitants therein. ¹⁰ For the ground Worked by ten yoke of oxen will not yield a bath of wine; and he who soweth six measures shall not raise three. ¹¹ Woe to them, who rise early to follow strong drink, and continue at it till late at night; for the wine will inflame them. ¹² For with kithara and psaltery, tabors and pipes, they drink wine; but they regard not the works of the Lord, nor consider the operations of his hands. ¹³ Therefore my people are become captives, because they did not know the Lord; and multitudes have died of famine and thirst; ¹⁴ and Hades hath enlarged its appetite, and opened its mouth, that there may be no want of room; and down shall go the honourable and the great, and the rich and the pestilent men of the land. ¹⁵ The commoner shall be humbled; and the noble dishonoured; and the lofty eyes shall be brought down; ¹⁶ and the Lord of Hosts shall be exalted in judgment; and God, the Holy One, shall be glorified by righteousness; ¹⁷ and they who have been plundered shall be fed like bulls, and lambs shall graze the waste places of them who have been removed. ¹⁸ Woe unto them who draw out sins as for a long cable: and iniquities as for an ox chain: ¹⁹ who say, "Let what he is to do approach speedily that we may see; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel come that we may know it." ²⁰ Woe to them who call evil good; and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet; and sweet for bitter. ²¹ Woe to them who are wise in their own conceit, and in their own eyes prudent. ²² Woe to your mighty men who drink wine; and to your princes who mingle strong drink: ²³ who justify the wicked for rewards; and deprive the just of his right. ²⁴ For this cause, as stubble will be set on fire by a coal, and consumed by a neglected flame; their root shall be like touch wood, and their blossom shall ascend like dust: for they desired not the law of the Lord of Hosts: but provoked to wrath the manifestion of the Holy One of Israel. ²⁵ Wherefore the Lord of Hosts was incensed against his people, and he stretched out his hand against them and smote them: and the mountains were convulsed, and their carcasses were as dung in the high way: and for all this his anger was not turned away; but still his hand is high. ²⁶ Therefore he will erect a standard among the nations far off, and summon them from the extremity of the earth; and behold! with speed they are coming swiftly. ²⁷ They will not hunger, nor will they be weary: they will not slumber, nor lie down to sleep; nor shall their girdles be loosed from their loins, nor the latchets of their sandals broken. ²⁸ Their arrows are sharp; and their bows are bent: the hoofs of their horses have been accounted as flint, and the wheels of their chariots are like a whirlwind. ²⁹ They growl like lions, and are at hand like young lions. He will seize and roar like a wild beast and drive out the people, and there shall be none to deliver them. ³⁰ On that day he will roar against them like the roaring of the billowy sea; and they will look upwards to the heaven and down on the earth; and lo! distressful darkness in their tribulation.

⁹ And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the book and to open the seals of it, because thou hast been slain and hast purchased us for God with thy blood, out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation;

¹⁰ and they cried with a loud voice, saying, "To our God who is sitting on the throne and to the Lamb be ascribed this salvation!" ¹¹ Whereupon all the angels who stood around the throne and the elders and the four animate beings prostrated themselves before the throne and worshipped God, ¹² saying, "Amen! the blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanks and the honour and the power and the majesty be to our God for ages of the ages! Amen."

³ and singing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four animate beings, and the elders; and no one could learn the song, but the hundred and forty four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth.

⁷ But an angel of the Lord found her at the fountain of water in the wilderness; at the fountain in the way to Sour.

¹⁸ Now he inhabited the country from Evilat to Sour which is in front of Egypt, all the way to the Assyrians. In front of all his brethren was his habitation.

¹⁸ and they will hearken to thy voice, and thou and the Senate of Israel shall go to Pharao king of Egypt, and thou shalt say to him, The God of the Hebrews hath called us; let us therefore go three days' journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to our God.

⁷ Saul smote Amelek from Evilat to Sur in front of Egypt;

⁸ And they removed from over against Eirath, and crossed through the midst of the sea, into the wilderness, and having marched three days' journey through the wilderness, they encamped at Bitterness.

²⁰ But she said to them, Call me not, I pray you, Noemin. Call me, Bitter: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.

¹¹ and said to Moses, Was it because there were no graves in the land of Egypt, that thou hast brought us out to die in the wilderness? Why hast thou dealt thus with us in bringing us out of Egypt?

² And on the fifteenth day of the second month after their coming out of Egypt all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron.

⁸ [Now Moses had dictated, by the Lord's giving you in the evening flesh to eat and in the morning bread in plenty, because the Lord hath heard your murmurings which you utter against us. But as for us what are we? your murmuring is not against us but against God.] ⁹ Then Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the children of Israel, Attend in the presence of God, for he hath heard your murmuring.

³ Now when the people had thirsted there for water and murmured against Moses saying, How is this? Hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst? ⁴ Moses cried to the Lord and said, What shall I do for this people? They are almost ready to stone me.

¹ the people were wickedly murmuring before the Lord, and the Lord heard, and was provoked to wrath, and a fire from the Lord was kindled among them, and was consuming part of the camp, ² whereupon the people cried to Moses, and he prayed to the Lord, and the fire ceased. ³ So the name of that place was called Burning, because a fire from the Lord had been kindled among them. ⁴ Again the mixed multitude which was among them had a longing desire, and even the children of Israel sat down and wept, saying, Who will give us flesh to eat. ⁵ We recollect the fish which we ate in Egypt for nothing; and the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the cloves of garlick; ⁶ but now our soul is dried up, and our eyes behold nothing but this manna.

¹ Upon this, all the congregation, raising their voices, shouted aloud, and ² the people wept that whole night. And all the Israelites murmured against Moses and Aaron; and the whole congregation said to them, that we had died in the land of Egypt, or even in this wilderness! ³ If we must die, why doth the Lord lead us into that land to fall in battle? Our wives and our children will be for a prey. Now therefore it is better for us to return to Egypt. ⁴ Then they said to one another, Let us appoint a leader, and return to Egypt.

¹¹ Thou and all this thy company who are tumultuously assembled before God? As for Aaron, who is he that you murmur against him?

⁴¹ On the next day, when the people murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying, You have slain the people of the Lord;

¹⁰ the Lord said to Moses, Lay up Aaron's staff again before the testimonies, to be kept as a sign for the children of these rebellious men; and let their murmuring cease from me that they may not die.

² And there being no water for the congregation, they assembled tumultuously against Moses and Aaron; ³ and the people reviled Moses, and said,! that we had died in the destruction of our brethren before the Lord! ⁴ Why have you brought the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, to kill us and our cattle? ⁵ Why is this? Have you brought us out of Egypt, that we might come to this vile place; a place where no seed can be sown, where there are no fig trees, nor vines, nor pomegranates, nor even water to drink?

⁵ and spoke against God, and against Moses, saying, Why hast thou brought us out of Egypt to kill us in this wilderness; for we have neither bread, nor water, and our soul loatheth this light food.

¹⁹ Nay, they spoke against God and said, "Can God provide a table in a desert? ²⁰ When he smote a rock, waters gushed out, and streams swelled to an overflowing flood. But can He also give bread, or provide a table for his people?"

²⁵ Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; nor about your body, what you shall wear. Is not life a greater gift than food; and the body, than raiment?

¹⁰ nor murmur ye, as some of them murmured and were destroyed by the destroyer.

¹⁴ For this good pleasure do you all things without murmurings and surmises,

¹⁶ They are discontented mumurers, walking after their own lusts. Though their mouth speaketh swelling words, they hold persons in admiration for the sake of gain.

¹⁰ And as Pharao approached; the children of Israel raising their eyes saw the Egyptians encamping in their rear and were greatly terrified. And the Israelites cried to the Lord,

⁴ Whereupon the Lord said to Moses, Behold I am going to rain bread from heaven for you. And the people shall go and gather it day by day, that I may try them whether they will walk in my law or not.

⁴ Moses cried to the Lord and said, What shall I do for this people? They are almost ready to stone me.

² and thou shalt keep in remembrance all the way which the Lord thy God led thee in the wilderness, that he might afflict thee, and prove thee, and know what was in thy heart, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments or not.

¹⁶ who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thou didst not know, and which was not known by thy fathers, that he might afflict thee, and try thee, and do thee good in thy latter days.

³ you shall not hearken to the words of that prophet, or of that dreamer of dreams; for the Lord thy God trieth you, to know whether you love your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul.

²¹ And the people said to Joshua, Nay, we will serve none but the Lord. ²² Then Joshua said to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the Lord to serve him. ²³ Now therefore put away the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the Lord God of Israel. ²⁴ And the people said to Joshua, We will serve the Lord, and hearken to his voice. ²⁵ So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and gave it to them as a law, and a solemn decision at Selo, before the tabernacle of the Lord God of Israel.

²² He indeed had spared them, that by them he might prove Israel whether they would, or would not, keep the ways of the Lord to walk therein, as their fathers had kept them:

¹ Now these are the nations which the Lord spared to prove Israel; with an intent moreover, in regard to all those who would be unacquainted with the wars of Chanaan,

⁴ But while he was by them proving Israel, to know whether they would hearken to the commandments of the Lord, which he had given in charge to their fathers by the hand of Moses,

²¹ Elisha went to the spring of the waters, and threw the salt in there and said, Thus saith the Lord, I cure the waters. There shall no more be thence death or barren ground.

⁴¹ Whereupon he said, Take some meal and throw it into the kettle. Then Elisha said to his servant Giezi, Pour out for the people and let them eat. And there was no more any thing disagreeable in the kettle.

¹⁵ Then call on me in the day of trouble; and I will deliver thee and thou shalt praise me."

¹⁰ For thou, God, didst prove us, thou hast tried us as silver is tried.

⁷ [J] "In affliction thou didst call upon me, and I delivered thee. I heard thee in the secret of a tempest. I proved thee at the water of strife.

¹⁵ He will call on me, and I will answer him: I am with him in affliction: I will deliver him and honour him.

⁶ Moses and Aaron among his priests; and Samuel among them, who invoke his name; called on the Lord, and he hearkened to them.

³ As silver and gold are tried in a furnace; so are chosen hearts, by the Lord.

⁷ therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold I will melt them and try them. What else can I do on account of the wickedness of the daughter of my people?

¹ Then the Lord said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before Me, My soul is not towards them. Send away this people and let them go.

¹⁸ For this doctrine [the doctrine of the cross] is foolishness to them who perish; but to us who are saved it is the power of God.

⁶ in whom you exult with joy though you are now for a little while, if it be necessary, distressed with divers trials; ⁷ in order that your faith, which hath stood the test and is much more precious than gold which is of a perishable nature though tried by fire, may be found praise worthy, and honourable, and glorious, at the manifestation of Jesus Christ,

¹⁰ So Moses took the ashes of a furnace in the sight of Pharao and scattered them towards heaven, and there was an inflammation with oozing blains both on man and beast, ¹¹ so that the sorcerers could not stand before Moses, because of these boils. For the boils were on the sorcerers and throughout all the land of Egypt.

²⁹ And when they had so done, it came to pass that at midnight the Lord smote all the first born in the land of Egypt, from the first born of Pharao, who sat on the throne to the first born of the captive in the dungeon, and even the first born of all the cattle.

²⁵ and worship the Lord thy God. And I will bless thy bread and thy wine and thy water, and turn away sickness from you.

³ if you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them,

¹³ I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. When you were slaves, I broke the bond of your yoke, and led you out in confidence:

¹² And it shall come to pass, that if you hearken to these rules, and keep and practise them, the Lord thy God will keep with thee the covenant, and the mercy, which he, with an oath, confirmed to your fathers. ¹³ And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee; and he will bless the offspring of thy womb, and the product of thy land; thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, thy herds of cattle, and thy flocks of sheep, in the land which he, with an oath, promised thy fathers to give thee.

¹⁵ And the Lord will remove from thee every malady, and will not lay upon thee any of the sore diseases of Egypt, which thou hast seen, which thou hast known: but will lay them upon all that hate thee.

²⁸ Observe and hear, that thou mayst do all the things which I command thee, that it may be well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever. When thou hast done what is well pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord thy God;

¹⁸ if thou wilt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments which I this day command you; to do what is comely and well pleasing in the sight of the Lord thy God.

¹ Now it shall come to pass, that if thou wilt hearken diligently to the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep and perform all these commandments which I this day give thee in charge, the Lord thy God will set thee high above all the nations of the earth; ² and all these blessings shall come upon thee, and find thee. If thou wilt hearken diligently to the voice of the Lord thy God, ³ Blessed shalt thou be in the city; and blessed shalt thou be in the field; ⁴ blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the products of thy land, and thy herds, and thy flocks. ⁵ Blessed shall be thy granaries, and thy stores. ⁶ Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed when thou goest out. ⁷ May the Lord thy God deliver up thine enemies, who rise up against thee, to be smitten before thee. They shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. ⁸ The Lord send upon thee the blessing in thy store houses, and on all the labours of thy hands, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. ⁹ The Lord establish thee a holy people for himself, as he solemnly promised thy fathers. If thou wilt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and walk in all his ways, ¹⁰ then shall all the nations of the earth see that thou art called by the name of the Lord, and they will be afraid of thee; ¹¹ and the Lord thy God will multiply thee, for good, in the offspring of thy body, and in the increase of thy cattle, and in the products of thy ground, in the land which he solemnly promised thy fathers to give thee. ¹² The Lord open for thee his good treasury, the heaven, to give thy land the rain in due season. May he bless all the works of thy hands, so that thou mayst lend to many nations, and not borrow of them; ¹³ and that thou mayst rule over many nations, and they not rule over thee. May the Lord establish thee for a head and not for a tail, so that thou mayst be above, and not beneath. If thou wilt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep all that I this day enjoin thee, ¹⁴ thou wilt not turn aside from all the commandments which I this day command thee, either to the right, or to the left, to go after other gods, to serve them. ¹⁵ But in case thou wilt not hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God to keep all his commandments which I this day give thee in charge, all these evils shall come upon thee and overtake thee:

²⁷ The Lord smite thee with the Egyptian boil in thy seat, and with wild fire, and with itching, so that thou canst not be cured.

⁵⁸ If thou wilt not hearken to do all the words of this law, which are written in this book, to fear this glorious, this wonderful name, The Lord Thy God,

⁶⁰ and will bring upon thee all the affliction of Egypt; that grievous affliction which thou didst dread on their account, and they shall cleave to thee.

³³ Because he hath forsaken me and sacrificed to Astarte, the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chamos and the idols of Moab, and to their king the horror of the Ammonites, and hath not walked in my ways to do what is right in my sight like his father David;

³⁸ And if thou wilt keep all that I will give thee in charge and walk in my ways, and do what is right before me, keeping my statutes, and my commandments, as my servant David did, I will be with thee, and I will build for thee a sure house, as I did for David.

⁵ Return and say to Ezekias the leader of my people, Thus saith the Lord the God of thy father David, I have heard thy prayer. I have seen thy tears. Behold I will heal thee. On the third day thou shalt go up to the house of the Lord.

² He did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the ways of David his father, and turned not aside to the right nor to the left.

¹⁸ For He causeth pain and again removeth it: and him whom he smote, his hands have healed.

³ May the Lord support him on his bed of languishing! thou hast made all his bed in this sickness of his. ⁴ I said, "Lord be merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee."

³ who pardoneth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

³ He healeth the broken hearted, and bindeth up their wounds;

¹⁸ I have seen his ways and healed him, and comforted him, and given him true consolation;

²² Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why is not healing come for the daughter of my people. [[c] The chorus, the inhabitants of the country. [J] Jehovah, [p] The prophet.]

⁶ behold I am raising up for it a cure for wounds and a restorative, which I will shew them, and I will heal it and give it peace

⁵ But the man who shall be just, who executeth judgment and justice,

¹ In their affliction they will seek me early, saying, "Come, let us return to the Lord our God, for it is he who hath torn and he can heal us. He can smite, and into our wounds he can pour balm;

¹¹ Behold we call those sufferers happy. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord's termination" that the Lord is full of compassion and tender mercy. ¹² Now above all things, my brethren, swear not, either by heaven, or by the earth, or by any other oath; but let your yes, be yes; and your no, no; that you may not fall under condemnation. ¹³ Is any one among you afflicted, let him pray. Is any one cheerful, let him sing praises. ¹⁴ Is any among you sick, let him send for the elders of the congregation, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ And the prayer of this faith will cure the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And though he may have committed sin, he will be forgiven. ¹⁶ Confess your faults to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man under the divine impulse is very powerful.

⁹ And they removed from Bitterness, and came to Ailam. Now at Ailam there were twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees. So they encamped there by the water.

³ therefore draw ye water with gladness from the wells of thanksgiving.

¹² And along the river there shall spring up on both banks, all sorts of trees fit for food. Their leaves shall never fade; nor shall their fruit ever fail. They shall always be in the act of producing fresh fruit, because the waters which nourish them flow down from the sanctuary. And their fruit shall be for food, and their leaves for medicine.

¹⁷ for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will tend them and guide them to living fountains of water; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

² and in the middle of the broad street of the city on both sides of the river at proper distances there was a tree of life bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month and the leaves of the tree are to heal the nations.
