¹¹ Who is like Thee among the gods, O Jehovah? Who is like Thee—honourable in holiness—Fearful in praises—doing wonders?

¹¹ To Thee, O Jehovah, is the greatness, and the might, and the beauty, and the victory, and the honour, because of all in the heavens and in the earth; to Thee, O Jehovah, is the kingdom, and he who is lifting up himself over all for head; ¹² and the riches, and the honour are from before Thee, and Thou art ruling over all, and in Thy hand is power and might, and in Thy hand, to make great, and to give strength to all.

⁹ Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'

⁷ Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders.

³ For, not by their sword Possessed they the land, And their arm gave not salvation to them, But Thy right hand, and Thine arm, And the light of Thy countenance, Because Thou hadst accepted them.

⁵ That Thy beloved ones may be drawn out, Save with Thy right hand, and answer us.

¹¹ Why dost Thou turn back Thy hand, Even Thy right hand? From the midst of Thy bosom remove it .

¹⁰ And I say: `My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.'

⁸ O Jehovah, God of Hosts, Who is like Thee—a strong Jah? And Thy faithfulness is round about Thee. ⁹ Thou art ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting up of its billows Thou dost restrain them. ¹⁰ Thou hast bruised Rahab, as one wounded. With the arm of Thy strength Thou hast scattered Thine enemies. ¹¹ Thine are the heavens—the earth also is Thine, The habitable world and its fulness, Thou hast founded them. ¹² North and south Thou hast appointed them, Tabor and Hermon in Thy name do sing. ¹³ Thou hast an arm with might, Strong is Thy hand—high Thy right hand.

¹ A Psalm. Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, For wonders He hath done, Given salvation to Him hath His right hand and His holy arm.

¹⁵ A voice of singing and salvation, Is in the tents of the righteous, The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly. ¹⁶ The right hand of Jehovah is exalted, The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly.

¹⁴ And He hath broken it As the breaking of the potters' bottle, Beaten down—He doth not spare, Nor is there found, in its beating down, A potsherd to take fire from the burning, And to draw out waters from a ditch.

⁹ Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah, Awake, as in days of old, generations of the ages, Art not Thou it that is hewing down Rahab, Piercing a dragon!

¹⁰ Jehovah hath made bare His holy arm Before the eyes of all the nations, And seen have all the ends of the earth, The salvation of our God.

¹⁴ And have dashed them one against another, And the fathers and the sons together, An affirmation of Jehovah, I do not pity, nor spare, nor have I mercy, So as not to destroy them.

¹³ `And mayest Thou not lead us to temptation, but deliver us from the evil, because Thine is the reign, and the power, and the glory—to the ages. Amen.

²⁷ and he shall rule them with a rod of iron—as the vessels of the potter they shall be broken—as I also have received from my Father;

¹⁶ `And yet for this I have caused thee to stand, so as to show thee My power, and for the sake of declaring My Name in all the earth;

²⁶ There is none like the God of Jeshurun, Riding the heavens in thy help, And in His excellency the skies.

¹³ Consume in fury, consume and they are not, And they know that God is ruling in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah.

³³ To him who is riding on the heavens of the heavens of old, Lo, He giveth with His voice a strong voice.

⁴⁹ He sendeth on them the fury of His anger, Wrath, and indignation, and distress—A discharge of evil messengers. ⁵⁰ He pondereth a path for His anger, He kept not back their soul from death, Yea, their life to the pestilence He delivered up.

¹³ O my God, make them as a rolling thing, As stubble before wind.

¹³ They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour is above earth and heavens.

¹⁶ And Jehovah of Hosts is high in judgment, And the Holy God sanctified in righteousness,

²⁴ Therefore, as a tongue of fire devoureth stubble, And flaming hay falleth, Their root is as muck, And their flower as dust goeth up. Because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of Hosts, And the saying of the Holy One of Israel despised.

¹⁷ Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, and hear; open, O Jehovah, Thine eyes and see; and hear Thou all the words of Sennacherib that he hath sent to reproach the living God.

²³ Whom hast thou reproached and reviled? And against whom lifted up the voice? Yea, thou dost lift up on high thine eyes Against the Holy One of Israel.

²⁹ Because of thy anger towards Me, And thy noise—it came up into Mine ears, I have put My hook in thy nose, And My bridle in thy lips, And I have caused thee to turn back In the way in which thou camest.

³⁶ And a messenger of Jehovah goeth out, and smiteth in the camp of Asshur a hundred and eighty and five thousand; and men rise early in the morning, and lo, all of them are dead corpses.

³⁸ And it cometh to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of Nisroch his god, and Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons have smitten him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and Esar-Haddon his son reigneth in his stead.

¹⁴ Lo, they have been as stubble! Fire hath burned them, They deliver not themselves from the power of the flame, There is not a coal to warm them, a light to sit before it.

⁶ Because there is none like Thee, O Jehovah, Great art Thou, and great Thy name in might.

¹¹ And now, gathered against thee have been many nations, who are saying: `Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.'

⁹ What do we devise against Jehovah? An end He is making, arise not twice doth distress. ¹⁰ For while princes are perplexed, And with their drink are drunken, They have been consumed as stubble fully dried. ¹¹ From thee hath come forth a deviser of evil Against Jehovah—a worthless counsellor. ¹² Thus said Jehovah: Though complete, and thus many, Yet thus they have been cut off, And he hath passed away. And I afflicted thee, I afflict thee no more.

⁸ For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: After honour He hath sent me unto the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming against you, Is coming against the daughter of His eye.

³ And gone forth hath Jehovah, And He hath fought against those nations, As in the day of His fighting in a day of conflict.

⁸ And it hath come to pass, in that day, Go forth do living waters from Jerusalem, Half of them unto the eastern sea, And half of them unto the western sea, In summer and in winter it is.

¹ For, lo, the day hath come, burning as a furnace, And all the proud, and every wicked doer, have been stubble, And burnt them hath the day that came, Said Jehovah of Hosts, That there is not left to them root or branch,

¹² whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather his wheat to the storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.'

⁴ and having fallen upon the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, `Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute?'

²¹ And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the sea, and Jehovah causeth the sea to go on by a strong east wind all the night, and maketh the sea become dry ground, and the waters are cleaved, ²² and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea, on dry land, and the waters are to them a wall, on their right and on their left.

¹⁶ And seen are the streams of the sea, Revealed are foundations of the world, By the rebuke of Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of His anger.

⁹ From the breath of God they perish, And from the spirit of His anger consumed.

¹³ He cleft a sea, and causeth them to pass over, Yea, He causeth waters to stand as a heap.

⁴ And he hath judged in righteousness the poor, And decided in uprightness for the humble of earth, And hath smitten earth with the rod of his mouth, And with the breath of his lips he putteth the wicked to death.

⁷ Lo, I am giving in him a spirit, and he hath heard a report, and hath turned back unto his land, and I have caused him to fall by the sword in his land.'

¹⁰ Seen thee—pained are mountains, An inundation of waters hath passed over, Given forth hath the deep its voice, High its hands it hath lifted up.

⁸ and then shall be revealed the Lawless One, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the manifestation of his presence,

²⁷ Benjamin! a wolf teareth; In the morning he eateth prey, And at evening he apportioneth spoil.'

⁵ And it is declared to the king of Egypt that the people hath fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants is turned against the people, and they say, `What is this we have done? that we have sent Israel away from our service.'

⁸ and Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursueth after the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel are going out with a high hand, ⁹ and the Egyptians pursue after them, and all the chariot horses of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his force, overtake them, encamping by the sea, by Pi-Hahiroth, before Baal-Zephon.

³⁰ Do they not find? —they apportion spoil, A female—two females—for every head, Spoil of finger-work for Sisera, Spoil of embroidered finger-work, Finger-work—a pair of embroidered things, For the necks of the spoil!

² and Jezebel sendeth a messenger unto Elijah, saying, `Thus doth the gods, and thus do they add, surely about this time to-morrow, I make thy life as the life of one of them.'

¹⁰ And Ben-Hadad sendeth unto him, and saith, `Thus do the gods to me, and thus do they add, if the dust of Samaria suffice for handfuls for all the people who are at my feet.'

⁸ For he saith, `Are not my princes altogether kings? <sup>9</sup> Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus? <sup>10</sup> As my hand hath got to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their graven images, Greater than Jerusalem and than Samaria, <sup>11</sup> Do I not—as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things? <sup>12</sup> And it hath come to pass, When the Lord doth fulfil all His work In mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I see concerning the fruit of the greatness Of the heart of the king of Asshur. And concerning the glory of the height of his eyes. <sup>13</sup> For he hath said, `By the power of my hand I have wrought, And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove borders of the peoples, And their chief ones I have spoiled, And I put down as a mighty one the inhabitants,

²⁰ Who among all the gods of these lands are they who have delivered their land out of my hand, that Jehovah doth deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?'

¹² Therefore I give a portion to him among the many, And with the mighty he apportioneth spoil, Because that he exposed to death his soul, And with transgressors he was numbered, And he the sin of many hath borne, And for transgressors he intercedeth.

¹⁴ Thou hast pierced with his staves the head of his leaders, They are tempestuous to scatter me, Their exultation is as to consume the poor in secret.

²² but when the stronger than he, having come upon him, may overcome him, his whole-armour he doth take away in which he had trusted, and his spoils he distributeth;

¹ And God remembereth Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which are with him in the ark, and God causeth a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside,

²¹ And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the sea, and Jehovah causeth the sea to go on by a strong east wind all the night, and maketh the sea become dry ground, and the waters are cleaved,

⁵ The depths do cover them; They went down into the depths as a stone.

⁴ and that which He hath done to the force of Egypt, to its horses, and to its chariot, when He hath caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow against their faces in their pursuing after them, and Jehovah destroyeth them, unto this day;

¹³ Thou hast broken by Thy strength a sea-monster, Thou hast shivered Heads of dragons by the waters, ¹⁴ Thou hast broken the heads of leviathan, Thou makest him food, For the people of the dry places.

⁷ Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.

¹⁸ He sendeth forth His word and melteth them, He causeth His wind to blow—the waters flow.

¹⁵ And Jehovah hath devoted to destruction The tongue of the sea of Egypt, And hath waved His hand over the river, In the terror of his wind, And hath smitten it at the seven streams, And hath caused men to tread it with shoes.

¹³ At the voice He giveth forth, A multitude of waters is in the heavens, And He causeth vapours to come up from the end of the earth, Lightnings for rain He hath made, And bringeth out wind from His treasures.

¹³ For, lo, the former of mountains, and creator of wind, And the declarer to man what is His thought, He is making dawn obscurity, And is treading on high places of earth, Jehovah, God of Hosts, is His name!

²⁷ and the men wondered, saying, `What kind—is this, that even the wind and the sea do obey him?'

¹⁰ and he saith, `To-morrow.' And he saith, According to thy word it is, so that thou knowest that there is none like Jehovah our God,

² `Speak unto all the company of the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Ye are holy, for holy am I, Jehovah, your God.

²⁴ Lord Jehovah, Thou—Thou hast begun to shew Thy servant Thy greatness, and Thy strong hand; for who is a God in the heavens or in earth who doth according to Thy works, and according to Thy might?

² There is none holy like Jehovah, For there is none save Thee, And there is no rock like our God.

²² Therefore Thou hast been great, Jehovah God, for there is none like Thee, and there is no God save Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

²³ and saith, `Jehovah, God of Israel, there is not a God like Thee, in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Thy servants, those walking before Thee with all their heart,

¹⁰ All my bones say, `Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'

⁵ Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.

¹⁴ Thou art the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known among the peoples Thy strength,

¹⁹ In the sea is Thy way, And Thy paths are in many waters, And Thy tracks have not been known.

⁸ There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.

⁵ and the heavens confess Thy wonders, O Jehovah, Thy faithfulness also is in an assembly of holy ones. ⁶ For who in the sky, Compareth himself to Jehovah? Is like to Jehovah among sons of the mighty? ⁷ God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him. ⁸ O Jehovah, God of Hosts, Who is like Thee—a strong Jah? And Thy faithfulness is round about Thee.

¹⁸ For of Jehovah is our shield, And of the Holy One of Israel our king.

¹¹ Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear—Thy wrath?

¹²⁰ Trembled from Thy fear hath my flesh, And from Thy judgments I have been afraid!

¹⁷ Righteous is Jehovah in all His ways, And kind in all His works.

³ And this one hath called unto that, and hath said: `Holy, Holy, Holy, is Jehovah of Hosts, The fulness of all the earth is His glory.'

¹¹ Turn aside from the way, decline from the path, Cause to cease from before us the Holy One of Israel.'

¹⁸ And unto whom do ye liken God, And what likeness do ye compare to Him?

²⁵ And unto whom do ye liken Me, And am I equal? saith the Holy One.

¹⁵ For thus said the high and exalted One, Inhabiting eternity, and holy is His name: `In the high and holy place I dwell, And with the bruised and humble of spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of bruised ones,'

² (As fire kindleth stubble—Fire causeth water to boil,) To make known Thy name to Thine adversaries, From Thy presence do nations tremble. ³ In Thy doing fearful things—we expect not, Thou didst come down, From Thy presence did mountains flow.

⁶ Because there is none like Thee, O Jehovah, Great art Thou, and great Thy name in might. ⁷ Who doth not fear Thee, king of the nations? For to Thee it is becoming, For among all the wise of the nations, And in all their kingdom there is none like Thee.

¹⁶ Not like these is the Portion of Jacob, For framer of all things is He, And Israel is the rod of His inheritance, Jehovah of Hosts is His name.

¹⁹ Lo, as a lion he cometh up, Because of the rising of the Jordan, Unto the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I cause him to run from off her, And who is chosen? concerning her I lay a charge, For who is like Me? and who conveneth Me? And who is this shepherd who standeth before Me?

⁵ but I will show to you, whom ye may fear; Fear him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast to the gehenna; yes, I say to you, Fear ye Him.

²⁸ wherefore, a kingdom that cannot be shaken receiving, may we have grace, through which we may serve God well-pleasingly, with reverence and religious fear; ²⁹ for also our God is a consuming fire.

¹⁵ but according as He who did call you is holy, ye also, become holy in all behaviour, ¹⁶ because it hath been written, `Become ye holy, because I am holy;'

⁸ And the four living creatures, each by itself severally, had six wings, around and within are full of eyes, and rest they have not day and night, saying, `Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is coming;'

⁴ who may not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? because Thou alone art kind, because all the nations shall come and bow before Thee, because Thy righteous acts were manifested.'

¹ And after these things I heard a great voice of a great multitude in the heaven, saying, `Alleluia! the salvation, and the glory, and the honour, and the power, is to the Lord our God; <sup>2</sup> because true and righteous are His judgments, because He did judge the great whore who did corrupt the earth in her whoredom, and He did avenge the blood of His servants at her hand;' <sup>3</sup> and a second time they said, `Alleluia;' and her smoke doth come up—to the ages of the ages! ⁴ And fall down did the elders—the twenty and four—and the four living creatures, and they did bow before God who is sitting upon the throne, saying, `Amen, Alleluia.'
<sup>5</sup> And a voice out of the throne did come forth, saying, `Praise our God, all ye His servants, and those fearing Him, both the small and the great;' ⁶ and I heard as the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, `Alleluia! because reign did the Lord God—the Almighty!

⁶ Thy right hand, O Jehovah, Is become honourable in power; Thy right hand, O Jehovah, Doth crush an enemy.

¹⁶ And he lingereth, and the men lay hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, through the mercy of Jehovah unto him, and they bring him out, and cause him to rest without the city.

¹² And by a pillar of cloud Thou hast led them by day, and by a pillar of fire by night, to lighten to them the way in which they go.

¹⁴ Thou art the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known among the peoples Thy strength, ¹⁵ Thou hast redeemed with strength Thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

²⁰ Thou hast led as a flock Thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron!

⁵² And causeth His people to journey as a flock, And guideth them as a drove in a wilderness, ⁵³ And He leadeth them confidently, And they have not been afraid, And their enemies hath the sea covered. ⁵⁴ And He bringeth them in unto the border of His sanctuary, This mountain His right hand had got,

¹ To the Overseer. —`On the Lilies.' A testimony of Asaph. —A Psalm. Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Leading Joseph as a flock, Inhabiting the cherubs—shine forth,

⁹ And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness.

¹² Leading by the right hand of Moses, the arm of His glory, Cleaving waters from before them, To make to Himself a name age-during. ¹³ Leading them through the depths, As a horse in a plain they stumble not.

⁶ And have not said, Where is Jehovah, Who bringeth us up out of the land of Egypt, Who leadeth us in a wilderness, In a land of deserts and pits, In a dry land, and of death-shade, In a land—none hath passed through it, Nor dwelt hath man there?'

⁴ and God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us,

⁵ who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time,

¹⁴ and they have said it unto the inhabitant of this land, they have heard that Thou, Jehovah, art in the midst of this people, that eye to eye Thou art seen—O Jehovah, and Thy cloud is standing over them, —and in a pillar of cloud Thou art going before them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

⁵ and he sendeth messengers unto Balaam son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River of the land of the sons of his people, to call for him, saying, `Lo, a people hath come out of Egypt; lo, it hath covered the eye of the land, and it is abiding over-against me;

⁴ `And the people command thou, saying, Ye are passing over into the border of your brethren, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, and they are afraid of you; and ye have been very watchful, ⁵ ye do not strive with them, for I do not give to you of their land even the treading of the sole of a foot; for a possession to Esau I have given mount Seir.

²⁵ This day I begin to put thy dread and thy fear on the face of the peoples under the whole heavens, who hear thy fame, and have trembled and been pained because of thee.

⁹ and she saith unto the men, `I have known that Jehovah hath given to you the land, and that your terror hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted at your presence. <sup>10</sup> `For we have heard how Jehovah dried up the waters of the Red Sea at your presence, in your going out of Egypt, and that which ye have done to the two kings of the Amorite who are beyond the Jordan; to Sihon and to Og whom ye devoted.

²⁴ And they answer Joshua and say, `Because it was certainly declared to thy servants, that Jehovah thy God commanded Moses His servant to give to you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; and we fear greatly for ourselves because of you, and we do this thing;

⁶ Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.

²⁹ Rejoice not thou, Philistia, all of thee, That broken hath been the rod of thy smiter, For from the root of a serpent cometh out a viper, And its fruit is a flying saraph.

³¹ Howl, O gate; cry, O city, Melted art thou, Philistia, all of thee, For from the north smoke hath come, And there is none alone in his set places.

¹⁵ These are chiefs of the sons of Esau: sons of Eliphaz, first-born of Esau: chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho, chief Kenaz,

⁴⁰ And these are the names of the chiefs of Esau, according to their families, according to their places, by their names: chief Timnah, chief Alvah, chief Jetheth,

¹⁴ And Moses sendeth messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, `Thus said thy brother Israel, Thou—thou hast known all the travail which hath found us; <sup>15</sup> that our fathers go down to Egypt, and we dwell in Egypt many days, and the Egyptians do evil to us and to our fathers; <sup>16</sup> and we cry unto Jehovah, and He heareth our voice, and sendeth a messenger, and is bringing us out of Egypt; and lo, we are in Kadesh, a city in the extremity of thy border. <sup>17</sup> Let us pass over, we pray thee, through thy land; we pass not over through a field, or through a vineyard, nor do we drink waters of a well; the way of the king we go, we turn not aside—right or left—till that we pass over thy border.' <sup>18</sup> And Edom saith unto him, `Thou dost not pass over through me, lest with sword I come out to meet thee.' ¹⁹ And the sons of Israel say unto him, `In the highway we go, and if of thy waters we drink—I and my cattle—then I have given their price; only (it is nothing) on my feet I pass over.' <sup>20</sup> And he saith, `Thou dost not pass over;' and Edom cometh out to meet him with much people, and with a strong hand; ²¹ and Edom refuseth to suffer Israel to pass over through his border, and Israel turneth aside from off him.

³ and Moab is exceedingly afraid of the presence of the people, for it is numerous; and Moab is vexed by the presence of the sons of Israel, ⁴ and Moab saith unto the elders of Midian, `Now doth the assembly lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licketh up the green thing of the field.' And Balak son of Zippor is king of Moab at that time, <sup>5</sup> and he sendeth messengers unto Balaam son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River of the land of the sons of his people, to call for him, saying, `Lo, a people hath come out of Egypt; lo, it hath covered the eye of the land, and it is abiding over-against me;

⁴ `And the people command thou, saying, Ye are passing over into the border of your brethren, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, and they are afraid of you; and ye have been very watchful,

⁸ `And the authorities have added to speak unto the people, and said, Who is the man that is afraid and tender of heart? —let him go and turn back to his house, and the heart of his brethren doth not melt like his heart;

⁹ and she saith unto the men, `I have known that Jehovah hath given to you the land, and that your terror hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted at your presence.

¹¹ And we hear, and melt doth our heart, and there hath not stood any more spirit in any man, from your presence, for Jehovah your God, He is God in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath.

²⁴ and they say unto Joshua, `Surely Jehovah hath given into our hand all the land; and also, all the inhabitants of the land have melted at our presence.'

¹ And it cometh to pass when all the kings of the Amorite which are beyond the Jordan, towards the sea, and all the kings of the Canaanite which are by the sea, hear how that Jehovah hath dried up the waters of the Jordan at the presence of the sons of Israel till their passing over, that their heart is melted, and there hath not been in them any more spirit because of the presence of the sons of Israel.

⁸ and my brethren who have gone up with me have caused the heart of the people to melt, and I have been fully after Jehovah my God;

¹⁶ And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin see, and lo, the multitude hath melted away, and it goeth on, and is beaten down.

¹⁰ and he also, the son of valour, whose heart is as the heart of the lion, doth utterly melt, for all Israel doth know that thy father is a hero, and sons of valour are those with him.

⁵¹ And chiefs of Edom are: chief Timnah, chief Aliah, chief Jetheth, ⁵² chief Aholibamah, chief Elah, chief Pinon, ⁵³ chief Kenaz, chief Teman, chief Mibzar, ⁵⁴ chief Magdiel, chief Iram. These are chiefs of Edom.

² As the driving away of smoke Thou drivest away, As the melting of wax before fire, The wicked perish at the presence of God.

⁷ Therefore, all hands do fail, And every heart of man doth melt.

¹ The burden of Egypt. Lo, Jehovah is riding on a swift thick cloud, And He hath entered Egypt, And moved have been the idols of Egypt at His presence, And the heart of Egypt melteth in its midst.

⁷ and it hath come to pass, when they say unto thee, For what art thou sighing? that thou hast said: Because of the report, for it is coming, And melted hath every heart, And feeble hath been all hands, And weak is every spirit, And all knees go—waters, Lo, it is coming, yea, it hath been, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'

¹⁰ She is empty, yea, emptiness and waste, And the heart hath melted, And the knees have smitten together, And great pain is in all loins, And the faces of all of them have gathered paleness.

⁷ Under sorrow I have seen tents of Cushan, Tremble do curtains of the land of Midian.

⁷ `And against all the sons of Israel a dog sharpeneth not its tongue, from man even unto beast, so that ye know that Jehovah doth make a separation between the Egyptians and Israel;

⁵ `And now, if ye really hearken to My voice, then ye have kept My covenant, and been to Me a peculiar treasure more than all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine; ⁶ and ye—ye are to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation: these are the words which thou dost speak unto the sons of Israel.'

²⁷ My terror I send before thee, and I have put to death all the people among whom thou comest, and I have given the neck of all thine enemies unto thee.

²⁵ no man doth station himself in your presence; your dread and your fear doth Jehovah your God put on the face of all the land on which ye tread, as He hath spoken to you.

⁶ To Jehovah do ye act thus, O people foolish and not wise? Is not He thy father—thy possessor? He made thee, and doth establish thee.

⁹ For Jehovah's portion is His people, Jacob is the line of His inheritance.

⁹ The feet of His saints He keepeth, And the wicked in darkness are silent, For not by power doth man become mighty.

³⁷ And it cometh to pass in the morning, when the wine is gone out from Nabal, that his wife declareth to him these things, and his heart dieth within him, and he hath been as a stone.

²³ `And who is as Thy people, as Israel—one nation in the earth, whom God hath gone to redeem to Him for a people, and to make for Him a name—and to do for you the greatness—even fearful things for Thy land, at the presence of Thy people, whom Thou hast redeemed to Thee out of Egypt—among the nations and their gods?

² Remember Thy company. Thou didst purchase of old, Thou didst redeem the rod of Thy inheritance, This mount Zion—Thou didst dwell in it.

¹ And now, thus said Jehovah, Thy Creator, O Jacob, and thy Fashioner, O Israel, Be not afraid, for I have redeemed thee, I have called on thy name—thou art Mine. ² When thou passest into waters, I am with thee, And into floods, they do not overflow thee, When thou goest into fire, thou art not burnt, And a flame doth not burn against thee. ³ For I—Jehovah thy God, The Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour, I have appointed Egypt thine atonement, Cush and Seba in thy stead.

¹⁰ Art not Thou it that is drying up a sea, Waters of a great deep? That hath made deep places of a sea A way for the passing of the redeemed?

¹¹ For Jehovah hath ransomed Jacob, And redeemed him from a hand stronger than he.

²⁸ `Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood,

¹⁴ who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;

⁹ and ye are a choice race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired, that the excellences ye may shew forth of Him who out of darkness did call you to His wondrous light;

¹ And there did come also false prophets among the people, as also among you there shall be false teachers, who shall bring in besides destructive sects, and the Master who bought them denying, bringing to themselves quick destruction,

² Thou, with Thy hand, nations hast dispossessed. And Thou dost plant them. Thou afflictest peoples, and sendest them away.

⁵⁴ And He bringeth them in unto the border of His sanctuary, This mountain His right hand had got, ⁵⁵ And casteth out nations from before them, And causeth them to fall in the line of inheritance, And causeth the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents,

⁶⁸ And He chooseth the tribe of Judah, With mount Zion that He loved, ⁶⁹ And buildeth His sanctuary as a high place, Like the earth, He founded it to the age.

⁸ A vine out of Egypt Thou dost bring, Thou dost cast out nations, and plantest it.

¹³ For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired it for a seat to Himself, ¹⁴ This is My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.

¹ Let me sing, I pray you, for my beloved, A song of my beloved as to his vineyard: My beloved hath a vineyard in a fruitful hill, ² And he fenceth it, and casteth out its stones, And planteth it with a choice vine, And buildeth a tower in its midst, And also a wine press hath hewn out in it, And he waiteth for the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones! ³ And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem, and man of Judah, Judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard. ⁴ What—to do still to my vineyard, That I have not done in it! Wherefore, I waited to the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones!

²¹ And I planted thee a choice vine, wholly a true seed, And how hast thou been turned to Me, To the degenerate shoots of a strange vine?

²³ Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Still they say this word in the land of Judah, And in its cities, In My turning back to their captivity, Jehovah doth bless thee, habitation of righteousness, Mountain of holiness.

⁴¹ and I have rejoiced over them to do them good, and have planted them in this land in truth, with all my heart, and with all My soul.

¹⁶ Jehovah is king to the age, and for ever, The nations have perished out of His land!

¹⁰ Jehovah on the deluge hath sat, And Jehovah sitteth king—to the age,

¹⁰ Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!

⁴⁴ `And in the days of these kings raise up doth the God of the heavens a kingdom that is not destroyed—to the age, and its kingdom to another people is not left: it beateth small and endeth all these kingdoms, and it standeth to the age.

³ His signs how great! and His wonders how mighty! His kingdom is a kingdom age-during, and His rule is with generation and generation.

¹⁴ And to him is given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and languages do serve him, his dominion is a dominion age-during, that passeth not away, and his kingdom that which is not destroyed.

²⁷ and the kingdom, and the dominion, even the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heavens, is given to the people—the saints of the Most High, His kingdom is a kingdom age-during, and all dominions do serve and obey Him.

¹⁵ And the seventh messenger did sound, and there came great voices in the heaven, saying, `The kingdoms of the world did become those of our Lord and of His Christ, and he shall reign to the ages of the ages!' <sup>16</sup> and the twenty and four elders, who before God are sitting upon their thrones, did fall upon their faces, and did bow before God, <sup>17</sup> saying, `We give thanks to Thee, O Lord God, the Almighty, who art, and who wast, and who art coming, because Thou hast taken Thy great power and didst reign;

²² and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea, on dry land, and the waters are to them a wall, on their right and on their left. ²³ And the Egyptians pursue, and go in after them (all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen) unto the midst of the sea,

²⁸ and the waters turn back, and cover the chariots and the horsemen, even all the force of Pharaoh, who are coming in after them into the sea—there hath not been left of them even one. ²⁹ And the sons of Israel have gone on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters are to them a wall, on their right and on their left;

³¹ A horse is prepared for a day of battle, And the deliverance is of Jehovah!

²⁹ By faith they did pass through the Red Sea as through dry land, which the Egyptians having received a trial of, were swallowed up;

⁴ and his sister stationeth herself afar off, to know what is done to him.

¹ And Miriam speaketh—Aaron also—against Moses concerning the circumstance of the Cushite woman whom he had taken: for a Cushite woman he had taken;

¹ And the sons of Israel come in, —all the company—to the wilderness of Zin, in the first month, and the people abide in Kadesh, and Miriam dieth there, and is buried there.

⁵⁹ and the name of Amram's wife is Jochebed, daughter of Levi, whom one hath born to Levi in Egypt; and she beareth to Amram Aaron, and Moses, and Miriam their sister.

⁴ And Deborah, a woman inspired, wife of Lapidoth, she is judging Israel at that time,

³⁴ And Jephthah cometh into Mizpeh, unto his house, and lo, his daughter is coming out to meet him with timbrels, and with choruses, and save her alone, he hath none, son or daughter.

²¹ and have seen, and lo, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances—then ye have gone out from the vineyards, and caught for you each his wife out of the daughters of Shiloh, and gone to the land of Benjamin;

⁵ `Afterwards thou dost come unto the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is, and it cometh to pass, at thy coming in thither to the city, that thou hast met a band of prophets coming down from the high place, and before them psaltery, and tabret, and pipe, and harp, and they are prophesying;

⁶ And it cometh to pass, in their coming in, in David's returning from smiting the Philistine, that the women come out from all the cities of Israel to sing—also the dancers—to meet Saul the king, with tabrets, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments;

⁵ and David and all the house of Israel are playing before Jehovah, with all kinds of instruments of fir-wood, even with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cornets, and with cymbals.

¹⁴ And David is dancing with all strength before Jehovah, and David is girded with a linen ephod,

¹⁶ and it hath come to pass, the ark of Jehovah hath come in to the city of David, and Michal daughter of Saul, hath looked through the window, and seeth king David moving and dancing before Jehovah, and despiseth him in her heart.

¹⁴ And Hilkiah the priest goeth, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, unto Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum, son of Tikvah, son of Harhas, keeper of the garments, and she is dwelling in Jerusalem in the second, and they speak unto her.

¹¹ Thou hast turned my mourning to dancing for me, Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girdest me with joy.

¹¹ The Lord doth give the saying, The female proclaimers are a numerous host.

²⁵ Singers have been before, Behind are players on instruments, In the midst virgins playing with timbrels.

² Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with psaltery.

³ They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.

⁴ Praise Him with timbrel and dance, Praise Him with stringed instruments and organ.

⁴ For I brought thee up from the land of Egypt, And from the house of servants I have ransomed thee, And I send before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

³⁶ And there was Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, she was much advanced in days, having lived with an husband seven years from her virginity,

⁹ and this one had four daughters, virgins, prophesying.

⁵ and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,

³⁴ Your women in the assemblies let them be silent, for it hath not been permitted to them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith;

¹ Then singeth Moses and the sons of Israel this song to Jehovah, and they speak, saying: —`I sing to Jehovah, For triumphing He hath triumphed; The horse and its rider He hath thrown into the sea.

³ Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes, I, to Jehovah, I—I do sing, I sing praise to Jehovah, God of Israel.

⁷ and the women answer—those playing, and say, `Saul hath smitten among his thousands, And David among his myriads.'

¹³ yea, it cometh to pass, as one are trumpeters and singers, to sound—one voice—to praise and to give thanks to Jehovah, and at the lifting up of the sound with trumpets, and with cymbals, and with instruments of song, and at giving praise to Jehovah, for good, for to the age is His kindness, that the house is filled with a cloud—the house of Jehovah,

⁷ Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory! ⁸ Who is this—`the king of glory?' Jehovah—strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle. <sup>9</sup> Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory! <sup>10</sup> Who is He—this `king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts—He is the king of glory! Selah.

¹ A Song of the Ascents. Lo, bless Jehovah, all servants of Jehovah, Who are standing in the house of Jehovah by night. ² Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, And bless ye Jehovah. ³ Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, The maker of the heavens and earth!

¹ Let me sing, I pray you, for my beloved, A song of my beloved as to his vineyard: My beloved hath a vineyard in a fruitful hill, ² And he fenceth it, and casteth out its stones, And planteth it with a choice vine, And buildeth a tower in its midst, And also a wine press hath hewn out in it, And he waiteth for the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones! ³ And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem, and man of Judah, Judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard. ⁴ What—to do still to my vineyard, That I have not done in it! Wherefore, I waited to the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones! ⁵ And now, pray, let me cause you to know, That which I am doing to my vineyard, To turn aside its hedge, And it hath been for consumption, To break down its wall, And it hath been for a treading-place. ⁶ And I make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And gone up have brier and thorn, And on the thick clouds I lay a charge, From raining upon it rain. 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.
⁸ Woe to those joining house to house, Field to field they bring near, till there is no place, And ye have been settled by yourselves In the midst of the land! ⁹ By the weapons of Jehovah of Hosts Do not many houses a desolation become? Great and good without inhabitant! ¹⁰ For ten acres of vineyard do yield one bath, And an homer of seed yieldeth an ephah. ¹¹ Woe to those rising early in the morning, Strong drink they pursue! Tarrying in twilight, wine inflameth them! ¹² And harp, and psaltery, tabret, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And the work of Jehovah they behold not, Yea, the work of His hands they have not seen. ¹³ Therefore my people removed without knowledge, And its honourable ones are famished, And its multitude dried up of thirst. ¹⁴ Therefore hath Sheol enlarged herself, And hath opened her mouth without limit. And gone down hath its honour, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one—into her. ¹⁵ And bowed down is the low, and humbled the high, And the eyes of the haughty become low, ¹⁶ And Jehovah of Hosts is high in judgment, And the Holy God sanctified in righteousness, ¹⁷ And fed have lambs according to their leading, And waste places of the fat ones Do sojourners consume.
¹⁸ Woe to those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as with thick ropes of the cart—sin. ¹⁹ Who are saying, `Let Him hurry, Let Him hasten His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.' <sup>20</sup> Woe to those saying to evil `good,' And to good `evil,' Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. ²¹ Woe to the wise in their own eyes, And—before their own faces—intelligent! ²² Woe to the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to mingle strong drink. ²³ Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the righteousness of the righteous They turn aside from him. ²⁴ Therefore, as a tongue of fire devoureth stubble, And flaming hay falleth, Their root is as muck, And their flower as dust goeth up. Because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of Hosts, And the saying of the Holy One of Israel despised. ²⁵ Therefore hath the anger of Jehovah burned among His people, And He stretcheth out His hand against it, And smiteth it, and the mountains tremble, And their carcase is as filth in the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger did not turn back, And still His hand is stretched out! ²⁶ And He lifted up an ensign to nations afar off, And hissed to it from the end of the earth, And lo, with haste, swift it cometh. ²⁷ There is none weary, nor stumbling in it, It doth not slumber, nor sleep, Nor opened hath been the girdle of its loins, Nor drawn away the latchet of its sandals. ²⁸ Whose arrows are sharp, and all its bows bent, Hoofs of its horses as flint have been reckoned, And its wheels as a hurricane! ²⁹ Its roaring is like a lioness, It roareth like young lions, And it howleth, and seizeth prey, And carrieth away safely, and there is none delivering. ³⁰ And it howleth against it in that day as the howling of a sea, And it hath looked attentively to the land, And lo, darkness—distress, And light hath been darkened by its abundance!

⁹ and they sing a new song, saying, `Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it, because thou wast slain, and didst redeem us to God in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

¹⁰ and crying with a great voice, saying, `The salvation is to Him who is sitting upon the throne—to our God, and to the Lamb!' <sup>11</sup> And all the messengers stood around the throne, and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell upon their face, and bowed before God, <sup>12</sup> saying, `Amen! the blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honour, and the power, and the strength, are to our God—to the ages of the ages! Amen!'

³ and they sing, as it were, a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the elders, and no one was able to learn the song except the hundred forty-four thousands, who have been bought from the earth;

⁷ And a messenger of Jehovah findeth her by the fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur,

¹⁸ and they tabernacle from Havilah unto Shur, which is before Egypt, in thy going towards Asshur; in the presence of all his brethren hath he fallen.

¹⁸ `And they have hearkened to thy voice, and thou hast entered, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye have said unto him, Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, hath met with us; and now, let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to Jehovah our God.

⁷ And Saul smiteth Amalek from Havilah—thy going in to Shur, which is on the front of Egypt,

⁸ And they journey from Pi-Hahiroth, and pass over through the midst of the sea, into the wilderness, and go a journey of three days in the wilderness of Etham, and encamp in Marah.

²⁰ And she saith unto them, `Call me not Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly to me,

¹¹ And they say unto Moses, `Because there are no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in a wilderness? what is this thou hast done to us—to bring us out from Egypt?

² And all the company of the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;

⁸ And Moses saith, `In Jehovah's giving to you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to satiety—in Jehovah's hearing your murmurings, which ye are murmuring against Him, and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.' <sup>9</sup> And Moses saith unto Aaron, `Say unto all the company of the sons of Israel, Come ye near before Jehovah, for He hath heard your murmurings;'

³ and the people thirst there for water, and the people murmur against Moses, and say, `Why is this? —thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to put us to death, also our sons and our cattle, with thirst.' <sup>4</sup> And Moses crieth to Jehovah, saying, `What do I to this people? yet a little, and they have stoned me.'

¹ And the people is evil, as those sighing habitually in the ears of Jehovah, and Jehovah heareth, and His anger burneth, and the fire of Jehovah burneth among them, and consumeth in the extremity of the camp. ² And the people cry unto Moses, and Moses prayeth unto Jehovah, and the fire is quenched; ³ and he calleth the name of that place Taberah, for the fire of Jehovah hath `burned' among them.
<sup>4</sup> And the rabble who are in its midst have lusted greatly, and the sons of Israel also turn back and weep, and say, `Who doth give us flesh? ⁵ We have remembered the fish which we do eat in Egypt for nought, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick; ⁶ and now our soul is dry, there is not anything, save the manna, before our eyes.'

¹ And all the company lifteth up and give forth their voice, and the people weep during that night; ² and all the sons of Israel murmur against Moses, and against Aaron, and all the company say unto them, `O that we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness, O that we had died! <sup>3</sup> and why is Jehovah bringing us in unto this land to fall by the sword? our wives and our infants are become a prey; is it not good for us to turn back to Egypt?' <sup>4</sup> And they say one unto another, `Let us appoint a head, and turn back to Egypt.'

¹¹ Therefore, thou and all thy company who are met are against Jehovah; and Aaron, what is he, that ye murmur against him?'

⁴¹ And all the company of the sons of Israel murmur, on the morrow, against Moses and against Aaron, saying, `Ye—ye have put to death the people of Jehovah.'

¹⁰ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Put back the rod of Aaron, before the testimony, for a charge, for a sign to the sons of rebellion, and thou dost remove their murmurings from off me, and they do not die;'

² And there hath been no water for the company, and they are assembled against Moses, and against Aaron, ³ and the people strive with Moses, and speak, saying, `And oh that we had expired when our brethren expired before Jehovah! ⁴ and why have ye brought in the assembly of Jehovah unto this wilderness to die there, we and our beasts? ⁵ and why hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to bring us in unto this evil place? no place of seed, and fig, and vine, and pomegranate; and water there is none to drink.

⁵ and the people speak against God, and against Moses, `Why hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to die in a wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water, and our soul hath been weary of this light bread.'

¹⁹ And they speak against God—they said: `Is God able to array a table in a wilderness?' <sup>20</sup> Lo, He hath smitten a rock, And waters flow, yea, streams overflow. `Also—bread is He able to give? Doth He prepare flesh for His people?'

²⁵ `Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat, and what ye may drink, nor for your body, what ye may put on. Is not the life more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing?

¹⁰ neither murmur ye, as also some of them did murmur, and did perish by the destroyer.

¹⁴ All things do without murmurings and reasonings,

¹⁶ These are murmurers, repiners; according to their desires walking, and their mouth doth speak great swellings, giving admiration to persons for the sake of profit;

¹⁰ And Pharaoh hath drawn near, and the sons of Israel lift up their eyes, and lo, the Egyptians are journeying after them, and they fear exceedingly, and the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah.

⁴ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, I am raining to you bread from the heavens—and the people have gone out and gathered the matter of a day in its day—so that I try them whether they walk in My law, or not;

⁴ And Moses crieth to Jehovah, saying, `What do I to this people? yet a little, and they have stoned me.'

² and thou hast remembered all the way which Jehovah thy God hath caused thee to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble thee to try thee, to know that which is in thy heart, whether thou dost keep His commands or not.

¹⁶ who is causing thee to eat manna in the wilderness, which thy fathers have not known, in order to humble thee, and in order to try thee, to do thee good in thy latter end),

³ thou dost not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of the dream, for Jehovah your God is trying you, to know whether ye are loving Jehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul;

²¹ And the people saith unto Joshua, `No, but Jehovah we do serve.' <sup>22</sup> And Joshua saith unto the people, `Witnesses ye are against yourselves, that ye have chosen for you Jehovah to serve Him (and they say, `Witnesses!') <sup>23</sup> and, now, turn aside the gods of the stranger which are in your midst, and incline your heart unto Jehovah, God of Israel.' <sup>24</sup> And the people say unto Joshua, `Jehovah our God we serve, and to His voice we hearken.' ²⁵ And Joshua maketh a covenant with the people on that day, and layeth on it a statute and an ordinance, in Shechem.

²² in order to try Israel by them, whether they are keeping the way of Jehovah, to go in it, as their fathers kept it or not.'

¹ And these are the nations which Jehovah left, to try Israel by them, all who have not known all the wars of Canaan;

⁴ and they are to prove Israel by them, to know whether they obey the commands of Jehovah that He commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

²¹ and he goeth out unto the source of the waters, and casteth there salt, and saith, `Thus said Jehovah, I have given healing to these waters; there is not thence any more death and sterility.'

⁴¹ And he saith, `Then bring ye meal;' and he casteth into the pot, and saith, `Pour out for the people, and they eat;' and there was no evil thing in the pot.

¹⁵ And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest Me.

¹⁰ For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.

⁷ In distress thou hast called and I deliver thee, I answer thee in the secret place of thunder, I try thee by the waters of Meribah. Selah.

¹⁵ He doth call Me, and I answer him, I am with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.

⁶ Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.

³ A refining pot is for silver, and a furnace for gold, And the trier of hearts is Jehovah.

⁷ Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, I am refining them, and have tried them, For how do I do because of the daughter of My people?

¹ And Jehovah saith unto me: Though Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My soul is not toward this people, Send from before My face, and they go out.

¹⁸ for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us—those being saved—it is the power of God,

⁶ in which ye are glad, a little now, if it be necessary, being made to sorrow in manifold trials, ⁷ that the proof of your faith—much more precious than of gold that is perishing, and through fire being approved—may be found to praise, and honour, and glory, in the revelation of Jesus Christ,

¹⁰ And they take the soot of the furnace, and stand before Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkleth it towards the heavens, and it is a boil with blains, breaking forth, on man and on beast; ¹¹ and the scribes have not been able to stand before Moses, because of the boil, for the boil hath been on the scribes, and on all the Egyptians.

²⁹ And it cometh to pass, at midnight, that Jehovah hath smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, unto the first-born of the captive who is in the prison-house, and every first-born of beasts.

²⁵ `And ye have served Jehovah your God, and He hath blessed thy bread and thy water, and I have turned aside sickness from thine heart;

³ `If in My statutes ye walk, and My commands ye keep, and have done them,

¹³ I am Jehovah your God, who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, from being their servants; and I break the bars of your yoke, and cause you to go erect.

¹² `And it hath been, because ye hear these judgments, and have kept, and done them, that Jehovah thy God hath kept to thee the covenant and the kindness which He hath sworn to thy fathers, ¹³ and hath loved thee, and blessed thee, and multiplied thee, and hath blessed the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil, the increase of thine oxen, and the wealth of thy flock, on the ground which He hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee.

¹⁵ and Jehovah hath turned aside from thee every sickness, and none of the evil diseases of Egypt (which thou hast known) doth He put on thee, and He hath put them on all hating thee.

²⁸ Observe, and thou hast obeyed all these words which I am commanding thee, in order that it may be well with thee and with thy sons after thee—to the age, when thou dost that which is good and right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.

¹⁸ when thou dost hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep all his commands which I am commanding thee to-day, to do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.

¹ `And it hath been, if thou dost hearken diligently to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all His commands which I am commanding thee to-day, that Jehovah thy God hath made thee uppermost above all the nations of the earth, <sup>2</sup> and all these blessings have come upon thee, and overtaken thee, because thou dost hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God: <sup>3</sup> `Blessed art thou in the city, and blessed art thou in the field. ⁴ `Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, increase of thine oxen, and wealth of thy flock. <sup>5</sup> `Blessed is thy basket and thy kneading-trough. ⁶ `Blessed art thou in thy coming in, and blessed art thou in thy going out. <sup>7</sup> `Jehovah giveth thine enemies, who are rising up against thee—smitten before thy face; in one way they come out unto thee, and in seven ways they flee before thee. ⁸ `Jehovah commandeth with thee the blessing in thy storehouses, and in every putting forth of thy hand, and hath blessed thee in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee. <sup>9</sup> `Jehovah doth establish thee to Himself for a holy people, as He hath sworn to thee, when thou keepest the commands of Jehovah thy God, and hast walked in His ways; ¹⁰ and all the peoples of the land have seen that the name of Jehovah is called upon thee, and they have been afraid of thee. ¹¹ `And Jehovah hath made thee abundant in good, in the fruit of the womb, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee. <sup>12</sup> `Jehovah doth open to thee his good treasure—the heavens—to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand, and thou hast lent to many nations, and thou—thou dost not borrow. ¹³ `And Jehovah hath given thee for head, and not for tail; and thou hast been only above, and art not beneath, for thou dost hearken unto the commands of Jehovah thy God, which I am commanding thee to-day, to keep and to do, <sup>14</sup> and thou dost not turn aside from all the words which I am commanding you to-day—right or left—to go after other gods, to serve them.
<sup>15</sup> `And it hath been, if thou dost not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God to observe to do all His commands, and His statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day, that all these revilings have come upon thee, and overtaken thee:

²⁷ `Jehovah doth smite thee with the ulcer of Egypt, and with emerods, and with scurvy, and with itch, of which thou art not able to be healed.

⁵⁸ `If thou dost not observe to do all the words of this law which are written in this book, to fear this honoured and fearful name—Jehovah thy God—

⁶⁰ `And He hath brought back on thee all the diseases of Egypt, of the presence of which thou hast been afraid, and they have cleaved to thee;

³³ `Because they have forsaken Me, and bow themselves to Ashtoreth, goddess of the Zidonians, to Chemosh god of Moab, and to Milcom god of the sons of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways, to do that which is right in Mine eyes, and My statutes and My judgments, like David his father.

³⁸ and it hath been, if thou dost hear all that I command thee, and hast walked in My ways, and done that which is right in Mine eyes, to keep My statutes and My commands, as did David My servant, that I have been with thee, and have built for thee a stedfast house, as I built for David, and have given to thee Israel,

⁵ `Turn back, and thou hast said unto Hezekiah, leader of My people: Thus said Jehovah, God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tear, lo, I give healing to thee, on the third day thou dost go up to the house of Jehovah;

² and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walketh in all the way of David his father, and hath not turned aside—right or left.

¹⁸ For He doth pain, and He bindeth up, He smiteth, and His hands heal.

³ Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness. ⁴ I—I said, `O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,'

³ Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases,

³ Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.

¹⁸ His ways I have seen, and I heal him, yea, I lead him, And recompense comforts to him and to his mourning ones.

²² Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? For wherefore hath not the health of the daughter of my people gone up?

⁶ Lo, I am increasing to it health and cure, And have healed them, and revealed to them The abundance of peace and truth.

⁵ And a man, when he is righteous, And hath done judgment and righteousness,

¹ `Come, and we turn back unto Jehovah, For He hath torn, and He doth heal us, He doth smite, and He bindeth us up.

¹¹ lo, we call happy those who are enduring; the endurance of Job ye heard of, and the end of the Lord ye have seen, that very compassionate is the Lord, and pitying.
