¹³ for the judgment without kindness is to him not having done kindness, and exult doth kindness over judgment.
¹⁴ What is the profit, my brethren, if faith, any one may speak of having, and works he may not have? is that faith able to save him? ¹⁵ and if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of the daily food, ¹⁶ and any one of you may say to them, `Depart ye in peace, be warmed, and be filled,' and may not give to them the things needful for the body, what is the profit? <sup>17</sup> so also the faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself. <sup>18</sup> But say may some one, Thou hast faith, and I have works, shew me thy faith out of thy works, and I will shew thee out of my works my faith: <sup>19</sup> thou—thou dost believe that God is one; thou dost well, and the demons believe, and they shudder! <sup>20</sup> And dost thou wish to know, O vain man, that the faith apart from the works is dead? <sup>21</sup> Abraham our father—was not he declared righteous out of works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar? <sup>22</sup> dost thou see that the faith was working with his works, and out of the works the faith was perfected? <sup>23</sup> and fulfilled was the Writing that is saying, `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him—to righteousness;' and, `Friend of God' he was called.

³⁵ `And when thy brother is become poor, and his hand hath failed with thee, then thou hast kept hold on him, sojourner and settler, and he hath lived with thee; <sup>36</sup> thou takest no usury from him, or increase; and thou hast been afraid of thy God; and thy brother hath lived with thee; <sup>37</sup> thy money thou givest not to him in usury, and for increase thou givest not thy food; <sup>38</sup> I am Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give to you the land of Canaan, to become your God.
<sup>39</sup> `And when thy brother becometh poor with thee, and he hath been sold to thee, thou dost not lay on him servile service; ⁴⁰ as an hireling, as a settler, he is with thee, till the year of the jubilee he doth serve with thee, — ⁴¹ then he hath gone out from thee, he and his sons with him, and hath turned back unto his family; even unto the possession of his fathers he doth turn back. ⁴² `For they are My servants, whom I have brought out from the land of Egypt: they are not sold with the sale of a servant; ⁴³ thou rulest not over him with rigour, and thou hast been afraid of thy God.

¹² `When thy brother is sold to thee, a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, and he hath served thee six years—then in the seventh year thou dost send him away free from thee. <sup>13</sup> And when thou dost send him away free from thee, thou dost not send him away empty; <sup>14</sup> thou dost certainly encircle him out of thy flock, and out of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy wine-vat; of that which Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee thou dost give to him, <sup>15</sup> and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God doth ransom thee; therefore I am commanding thee this thing to-day. <sup>16</sup> `And it hath been, when he saith unto thee, I go not out from thee—because he hath loved thee, and thy house, because it is good for him with thee— ¹⁷ then thou hast taken the awl, and hast put it through his ear, and through the door, and he hath been to thee a servant age-during; and also to thy handmaid thou dost do so. ¹⁸ `It is not hard in thine eyes, in thy sending him away free from thee; for the double of the hire of an hireling he hath served thee six years, and Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all that thou dost.

¹⁰ Naked, they have gone without clothing, And hungry—have taken away a sheaf. ¹¹ Between their walls they make oil, Wine-presses they have trodden, and thirst.

¹³ If I despise the cause of my man-servant, And of my handmaid, In their contending with me, ¹⁴ Then what do I do when God ariseth? And when He doth inspect, What do I answer Him? ¹⁵ Did not He that made me in the womb make him? Yea, prepare us in the womb doth One.

³¹ An oppressor of the poor reproacheth his Maker, And whoso is honouring Him Is favouring the needy.

¹⁶ He is oppressing the poor to multiply to him, He is giving to the rich—only to want.

⁷ Father and mother made light of in thee, To a sojourner they dealt oppressively in thy midst, Fatherless and widow they oppressed in thee.

⁷ Who are panting for the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, And the way of the humble they turn aside, And a man and his father go unto the damsel, So as to pollute My holy name.

¹ Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, Who are in the mountain of Samaria, Who are oppressing the poor, Who are bruising the needy, Who are saying to their lords: `Bring in, and we do drink.'

⁴ Hear this, ye who are swallowing up the needy, To cause to cease the poor of the land,

⁵ And I have drawn near to you for judgment, And I have been a witness, Making haste against sorcerers, And against adulterers, And against swearers to a falsehood, And against oppressors of the hire of an hireling, Of a widow, and of a fatherless one, And those turning aside a sojourner, And who fear Me not, said Jehovah of Hosts.

⁷ `And in that house remain, eating and drinking the things they have, for worthy is the workman of his hire; go not from house to house,

²³ if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry; ²⁴ and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.

¹³ `Thou dost not oppress thy neighbour, nor take plunder; the wages of the hireling doth not remain with thee till morning.

⁹ `Take heed to thee lest there be a word in thy heart—worthless, saying, Near is the seventh year, the year of release; and thine eye is evil against thy needy brother, and thou dost not give to him, and he hath called concerning thee unto Jehovah, and it hath been in thee sin;

³⁸ If against me my land doth cry out, And together its furrows weep,

²⁸ To cause to come in unto Him The cry of the poor, And the cry of the afflicted He heareth.

⁹ Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.

⁴ The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit.

¹ By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.

⁴ Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.

²⁷ Withhold not good from its owners, When thy hand is toward God to do it . ²⁸ Say not thou to thy friend, `Go, and return, and to-morrow I give,' And substance with thee.

²² Rob not the poor because he is poor, And bruise not the afflicted in the gate. ²³ For Jehovah pleadeth their cause, And hath spoiled the soul of their spoilers.

¹⁰ Remove not a border of olden times, And into fields of the fatherless enter not, ¹¹ For their Redeemer is strong, He doth plead their cause with thee.

⁷ Because the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts Is the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waiteth for judgment, and lo, oppression, For righteousness, and lo, a cry.

¹³ Woe to him who is building his house by unrighteousness, And his upper chambers by injustice, On his neighbour he layeth service for nought, And his wage he doth not give to him.

⁸ `And evening having come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the workmen, and pay them the reward, having begun from the last—unto the first.

¹⁹ the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Thou mayest not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.'

⁴ lo, the reward of the workmen, of those who in-gathered your fields, which hath been fraudulently kept back by you—doth cry out, and the exclamations of those who did reap into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth have entered;

⁵ And it cometh to pass, when the kingdom hath been strong in his hand, that he smiteth his servants, those smiting the king his father, ⁶ and the sons of those smiting him he hath not put to death, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses that Jehovah commanded, saying, `Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers, but each for his own sin is put to death.'

⁴ and their sons he hath not put to death, but did as is written in the law, in the book of Moses, whom Jehovah commanded, saying, `Fathers do not die for sons, and sons die not for fathers, but each for his own sin they die.'

²⁹ In those days they do not say any more: Fathers have eaten unripe fruit, And the sons' teeth are blunted. ³⁰ But—each for his own iniquity doth die, Every man who is eating the unripe fruit, Blunted are his teeth.

²⁰ The soul that doth sin—it doth die. A son doth not bear of the iniquity of the father, And a father doth not bear of the iniquity of the son, The righteousness of the righteous is on him, And the wickedness of the wicked is on him.

²¹ `And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, nor crush him, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt. <sup>22</sup> `Any widow or orphan ye do not afflict;

² `Thou art not after many to evil, nor dost thou testify concerning a strife, to turn aside after many to cause others to turn aside;

⁶ `Thou dost not turn aside the judgment of thy needy one in his strife;

⁹ `And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, and ye—ye have known the soul of the sojourner, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt.

¹⁷ ye do not discern faces in judgment; as the little so the great ye do hear; ye are not afraid of the face of any, for the judgment is God's, and the thing which is too hard for you, ye bring near unto me, and I have heard it;

¹⁷ for Jehovah your God—He is God of the gods, and Lord of the lords; God, the great, the mighty, and the fearful; who accepteth not persons, nor taketh a bribe; ¹⁸ He is doing the judgment of fatherless and widow, and loving the sojourner, to give to him bread and raiment.

¹⁹ Thou dost not turn aside judgment; thou dost not discern faces, nor take a bribe, for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

⁶ `None doth take in pledge millstones, and rider, for life it is he is taking in pledge.

¹³ thou dost certainly give back to him the pledge at the going in of the sun, and he hath lain down in his own raiment, and hath blessed thee; and to thee it is righteousness before Jehovah thy God.

¹⁹ `Cursed is he who is turning aside the judgment of fatherless, sojourner, and widow, —and all the people have said, Amen.

³ `Lo, here am I; testify against me, over-against Jehovah, and over-against His anointed; whose ox have I taken, and whose ass have I taken, and whom have I oppressed; whom have I bruised, and of whose hand have I taken a ransom, and hide mine eyes with it? —and I restore to you.' <sup>4</sup> And they say, `Thou hast not oppressed us, nor hast thou crushed us, nor hast thou taken from the hand of any one anything.'

⁸ As to the man of arm—he hath the earth, And the accepted of face—he dwelleth in it. ⁹ Widows thou hast sent away empty, And the arms of the fatherless are bruised.

¹¹ For the ear heard, and declareth me happy, And the eye hath seen, and testifieth to me. ¹² For I deliver the afflicted who is crying, And the fatherless who hath no helper. ¹³ The blessing of the perishing cometh on me, And the heart of the widow I cause to sing. ¹⁴ Righteousness I have put on, and it clotheth me, As a robe and a diadem my justice. ¹⁵ Eyes I have been to the blind, And feet to the lame am I. ¹⁶ A father I am to the needy, And the cause I have not known I search out. ¹⁷ And I break the jaw-teeth of the perverse, And from his teeth I cast away prey.

¹ —A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge. ² Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? Selah. ³ Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous. ⁴ Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them. ⁵ They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.

³ Till when do the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult? ⁴ They utter—they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves. ⁵ Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict. ⁶ Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.

²⁰ Is a throne of mischief joined with Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute? ²¹ They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.

⁵ Lest he drink, and forget the decree, And change the judgment of any of the sons of affliction.

⁸ If oppression of the poor, and violent taking away of judgment and righteousness thou seest in a province, do not marvel at the matter, for a higher than the high is observing, and high ones are over them.

²³ Thy princes are apostates, and companions of thieves, Every one loving a bribe, and pursuing rewards, The fatherless they judge not, And the plea of the widow cometh not to them.

¹⁵ What—to you? ye bruise My people, And the faces of the poor ye grind.' An affirmation of the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, And Jehovah saith:

¹⁵ Whoso is walking righteously, And is speaking uprightly, Kicking against gain of oppressions, Shaking his hands from taking hold on a bribe, Stopping his ear from hearing of blood, And shutting his eyes from looking on evil,

²⁸ They have been fat, they have shone, Yea, they have overpassed the acts of the evil, Judgment they have not judged, The judgment of the fatherless—and they prosper, And the judgment of the needy they have not judged.

³ Thus said Jehovah: Do ye judgment and righteousness, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, And sojourner, orphan, and widow, ye do not oppress nor wrong, And innocent blood ye do not shed in this place.

²⁹ The people of the land have used oppression, And have taken plunder violently away, And humble and needy have oppressed, And the sojourner oppressed—without judgment.

⁷ Ye who are turning to wormwood judgment, And righteousness to the earth have put down, ⁸ The maker of Kimah and Kesil, And the turner to morning of death-shade, And day as night He hath made dark, Who is calling to the waters of the sea, And poureth them on the face of the earth, Jehovah is His name; ⁹ Who is brightening up the spoiled against the strong, And the spoiled against a fortress cometh. ¹⁰ They have hated a reprover in the gate, And a plain speaker they abominate. ¹¹ Therefore, because of your trampling on the poor, And the tribute of corn ye take from him, Houses of hewn work ye have built, And ye do not dwell in them, Desirable vineyards ye have planted, And ye do not drink their wine. ¹² For I have known—many are your transgressions, And mighty your sins, Adversaries of the righteous, taking ransoms, And the needy in the gate ye turned aside.

¹ Woe to those devising iniquity, And working evil on their beds, In the light of the morning they do it, For their hand is—to God. ² And they have desired fields, And they have taken violently, And houses, and they have taken away, And have oppressed a man and his house, Even a man and his inheritance.

³ On the evil are both hands to do it well, The prince is asking—also the judge—for recompence, And the great—he is speaking the mischief of his soul, And they wrap it up.

¹⁰ And widow, and fatherless, Sojourner, and poor, ye do not oppress, And the calamity of one another ye do not devise in your heart.

¹⁴ And questioning him also were those warring, saying, `And we, what shall we do?' and he said unto them, `Do violence to no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.'

⁶ and ye did dishonour the poor one; do not the rich oppress you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats;

¹⁵ and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God is bringing thee out thence by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm; therefore hath Jehovah thy God commanded thee to keep the day of the sabbath.

¹⁵ and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God doth ransom thee; therefore I am commanding thee this thing to-day.

¹² and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in Egypt, and hast observed and done these statutes.

²² and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding thee to do this thing.

⁹ `And in your reaping the harvest of your land ye do not completely reap the corner of thy field, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather, ¹⁰ and thy vineyard thou dost not glean, even the omitted part of thy vineyard thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I am Jehovah your God.

²² `And in your reaping the harvest of your land thou dost not complete the corner of thy field in thy reaping, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I Jehovah am your God.'

²⁹ and come in hath the Levite (for he hath no part and inheritance with thee), and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within thy gates, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, so that Jehovah thy God doth bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou dost.

¹⁰ thou dost certainly give to him, and thy heart is not sad in thy giving to him, for because of this thing doth Jehovah thy God bless thee in all thy works, and in every putting forth of thy hand;

²⁰ `When thou beatest thine olive, thou dost not examine the branch behind thee; to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, it is. <sup>21</sup> `When thou cuttest thy vineyard, thou dost not glean behind thee; to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, it is;

¹³ and thou hast said before Jehovah thy God, I have put away the separated thing out of the house, and also have given it to the Levite, and to the sojourner, and to the orphan, and to the widow, according to all Thy command which Thou hast commanded me; I have not passed over from Thy commands, nor have I forgotten.

¹⁶ and also ye do surely cast to her of the handfuls—and have left, and she hath gleaned, and ye do not push against her.'

¹⁶ If I withhold from pleasure the poor, And the eyes of the widow do consume, ¹⁷ And I do eat my morsel by myself, And the orphan hath not eat of it, ¹⁸ (But from my youth He grew up with me as with a father, And from the belly of my mother I am led.) ¹⁹ If I see any perishing without clothing, And there is no covering to the needy, ²⁰ If his loins have not blessed me, And from the fleece of my sheep He doth not warm himself, ²¹ If I have waved at the fatherless my hand, When I see in him the gate of my court, ²² My shoulder from its blade let fall, And mine arm from the bone be broken.

¹² And Jehovah hath blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning, and he hath fourteen thousand of a flock, and six thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

¹ To the Overseer. —A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him. ² Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies. ³ Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.

²⁴ There is who is scattering, and yet is increased, And who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want.
²⁵ A liberal soul is made fat, And whoso is watering, he also is watered.

²¹ Whoso is despising his neighbour sinneth, Whoso is favouring the humble, O his happiness.

¹⁷ Whoso is lending to Jehovah is favouring the poor, And his deed He repayeth to him.

⁸ And the noble counselled noble things, And he for noble things riseth up.

⁷ Is it not to deal to the hungry thy bread, And the mourning poor bring home, That thou seest the naked and cover him, And from thine own flesh hide not thyself?
⁸ Then broken up as the dawn is thy light, And thy health in haste springeth up, Gone before thee hath thy righteousness, The honour of Jehovah doth gather thee. ⁹ Then thou callest, and Jehovah answereth, Thou criest, and He saith, `Behold Me.' If thou turn aside from thy midst the yoke, The sending forth of the finger, And the speaking of vanity, ¹⁰ And dost bring out to the hungry thy soul, And the afflicted soul dost satisfy, Then risen in the darkness hath thy light, And thy thick darkness is as noon. ¹¹ And Jehovah doth lead thee continually, And hath satisfied in drought thy soul, And thy bones He armeth, And thou hast been as a watered garden, And as an outlet of waters, whose waters lie not.

³⁵ `But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest, because He is kind unto the ungracious and evil;

³⁸ `Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed, and shaken, and running over, they shall give into your bosom; for with that measure with which ye measure, it shall be measured to you again.'

¹³ but when thou mayest make a feast, be calling poor, maimed, lame, blind, ¹⁴ and happy thou shalt be, because they have not to recompense thee, for it shall be recompensed to thee in the rising again of the righteous.'

⁶ And this: He who is sowing sparingly, sparingly also shall reap; and he who is sowing in blessings, in blessings also shall reap; ⁷ each one, according as he doth purpose in heart, not out of sorrow or out of necessity, for a cheerful giver doth God love, ⁸ and God is able all grace to cause to abound to you, that in every thing always all sufficiency having, ye may abound to every good work,

¹⁷ and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him—how doth the love of God remain in him? ¹⁸ My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth! ¹⁹ and in this we know that of the truth we are, and before Him we shall assure our hearts,

¹⁰ and thy vineyard thou dost not glean, even the omitted part of thy vineyard thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I am Jehovah your God.

¹⁹ `When thou reapest thy harvest in thy field, and hast forgotten a sheaf in a field, thou dost not turn back to take it; to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, it is; so that Jehovah thy God doth bless thee in all the work of thy hands.

¹⁴ and the seventh day is a sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thine ox, and thine ass, and all thy cattle, and thy sojourner who is within thy gates; so that thy man-servant, and thy handmaid doth rest like thyself; ¹⁵ and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God is bringing thee out thence by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm; therefore hath Jehovah thy God commanded thee to keep the day of the sabbath.

⁸ but because of Jehovah's loving you, and because of His keeping the oath which He hath sworn to your fathers, hath Jehovah brought you out by a strong hand, and doth ransom you from a house of servants, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

¹⁸ and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in Egypt, and Jehovah thy God doth ransom thee from thence; therefore I am commanding thee to do this thing.

¹ Hearken unto Me, ye pursuing righteousness, Seeking Jehovah, Look attentively unto the rock—ye have been hewn, And unto the hole of the pit—ye have been digged.

⁸ not according to command do I speak, but because of the diligence of others, and of your love proving the genuineness, ⁹ for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you he became poor—being rich, that ye by that poverty may become rich.

¹ Become, then, followers of God, as children beloved, ² and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,

¹⁰ in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;
