²⁷ And she cometh in unto the man of God, unto the hill, and layeth hold on his feet, and Gehazi cometh nigh to thrust her away, and the man of God saith, `Let her alone, for her soul is bitter to her, and Jehovah hath hidden it from me, and hath not declared it to me.'

⁷ `Art not Thou our God? Thou hast dispossessed the inhabitants of this land from before Thy people Israel, and dost give it to the seed of Abraham Thy friend to the age,

¹⁴ The secret of Jehovah is for those fearing Him, And His covenant—to cause them to know.

⁷ For the Lord Jehovah doth nothing, Except He hath revealed His counsel unto His servants the prophets.

¹⁵ no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.

²³ 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.

² And I make thee become a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing. ³ And I bless those blessing thee, and him who is disesteeming thee I curse, and blessed in thee have been all families of the ground.'

¹⁷ that blessing I bless thee, and multiplying I multiply thy seed as stars of the heavens, and as sand which is on the sea-shore; and thy seed doth possess the gate of his enemies; ¹⁸ and blessed themselves in thy seed have all nations of the earth, because that thou hast hearkened to My voice.'

⁴ and I have multiplied thy seed as stars of the heavens, and I have given to thy seed all these lands; and blessed themselves in thy seed have all nations of the earth;

¹⁷ His name is to the age, Before the sun is his name continued, And they bless themselves in him, All nations do pronounce him happy.

²⁵ `Ye are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant that God made unto our fathers, saying unto Abraham: And in thy seed shall be blessed all the families of the earth; ²⁶ to you first, God, having raised up His child Jesus, did send him, blessing you, in the turning away of each one from your evil ways.'

⁸ and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham—

¹⁴ that to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in Christ Jesus, that the promise of the Spirit we may receive through the faith.

³ Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

²³ And Abraham taketh Ishmael his son, and all those born in his house, and all those bought with his money—every male among the men of Abraham's house—and circumciseth the flesh of their foreskin, in this self-same day, as God hath spoken with him. ²⁴ And Abraham is a son of ninety and nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised; ²⁵ and Ishmael his son is a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised; ²⁶ in this self-same day hath Abraham been circumcised, and Ishmael his son; ²⁷ and all the men of his house—born in the house, and bought with money from the son of a stranger—have been circumcised with him.

⁹ `Only, take heed to thyself, and watch thy soul exceedingly, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they turn aside from thy heart, all days of thy life; and thou hast made them known to thy sons, and to thy sons' sons. <sup>10</sup> `The day when thou hast stood before Jehovah thy God in Horeb—in Jehovah's saying unto me, Assemble to Me the people, and I cause them to hear My words, so that they learn to fear Me all the days that they are alive on the ground, and their sons they teach; —

⁶ and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart, ⁷ and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,

¹⁹ and ye have taught them to your sons, by speaking of them in thy sitting in thy house, and in thy going in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up, ²⁰ and hast written them on the side-posts of thy house, and on thy gates, ²¹ so that your days are multiplied, and the days of your sons, on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to give to them, as the days of the heavens on the earth.

⁴⁶ and saith unto them, `Set your heart to all the words which I am testifying against you to-day, that ye command your sons to observe to do all the words of this law,

¹⁵ and if wrong in your eyes to serve Jehovah—choose for you to-day whom ye do serve; —whether the gods whom your fathers served, which are beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorite in whose land ye are dwelling; and I and my house—we serve Jehovah.'

³⁰ `Therefore—the affirmation of Jehovah, God of Israel—I certainly said, Thy house and the house of thy father, do walk up and down before Me to the age; and now—the affirmation of Jehovah—Far be it from Me! for he who is honouring Me, I honour, and those despising Me, are lightly esteemed. <sup>31</sup> `Lo, days are coming, and I have cut off thine arm, and the arm of the house of thy father, that an old man is not in thy house;

²⁰ And what doth David add more to speak unto Thee? and Thou, Thou hast known Thy servant, Lord Jehovah.

⁹ `And thou, Solomon, my son, know the God of thy father, and serve Him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind, for all hearts is Jehovah seeking, and every imagination of the thoughts He is understanding; if thou dost seek Him, He is found of thee, and if thou dost forsake Him, He casteth thee off for ever.

⁵ and it cometh to pass, when they have gone round the days of the banquet, that Job doth send and sanctify them, and hath risen early in the morning, and caused to ascend burnt-offerings—the number of them all—for Job said, `Perhaps my sons have sinned, yet blessed God in their heart.' Thus doth Job all the days.
⁶ For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!

⁴ `Jehovah is in his holy temple: Jehovah—in the heavens is His throne. His eyes see—His eyelids try the sons of men.

¹⁵ The eyes of Jehovah are unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry.

² I open with a simile my mouth, I bring forth hidden things of old, ³ That we have heard and do know, And our fathers have recounted to us. ⁴ We do not hide from their sons, To a later generation recounting praises of Jehovah, And His strength, and His wonders that He hath done. ⁵ And He raiseth up a testimony in Jacob, And a law hath placed in Israel, That He commanded our fathers, To make them known to their sons. ⁶ So that a later generation doth know, Sons who are born, do rise and recount to their sons, ⁷ And place in God their confidence, And forget not the doings of God, But keep His commands. ⁸ And they are not like their fathers, A generation apostate and rebellious, A generation! it hath not prepared its heart, Nor stedfast with God is its spirit.
⁹ Sons of Ephraim—armed bearers of bow, Have turned in a day of conflict.

²⁰ Keep, my son, the command of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother. ²¹ Bind them on thy heart continually, Tie them on thy neck. ²² In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked—it talketh with thee.

⁶ Give instruction to a youth about his way, Even when he is old he turneth not from it.

¹⁹ The living, the living, he doth confess Thee.

² Only you I have known of all families of the land, Therefore I charge on you all your iniquities.

¹⁴ `I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known by mine,

¹⁷ He saith to him the third time, `Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou dearly love me?' Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, `Dost thou dearly love me?' and he said to him, `Lord, thou hast known all things; thou dost know that I dearly love thee.' Jesus saith to him, `Feed my sheep;

²³ for there stood by me this night a messenger of God—whose I am, and whom I serve— ²⁴ saying, Be not afraid Paul; before Caesar it behoveth thee to stand; and, lo, God hath granted to thee all those sailing with thee;

³¹ Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, `If these do not remain in the ship—ye are not able to be saved;'

⁴ And the fathers! provoke not your children, but nourish them in the instruction and admonition of the Lord.

⁴ his own house leading well, having children in subjection with all gravity, ⁵ (and if any one his own house how to lead hath not known, how an assembly of God shall he take care of?)

¹² Ministrants—let them be of one wife husbands; the children leading well, and their own houses,

⁵ taking remembrance of the unfeigned faith that is in thee, that dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that also in thee.

¹⁹ sure, nevertheless, hath the foundation of God stood, having this seal, `The Lord hath known those who are His,' and `Let him depart from unrighteousness—every one who is naming the name of Christ.'

¹⁵ and because from a babe the Holy Writings thou hast known, which are able to make thee wise—to salvation, through faith that is in Christ Jesus;

¹⁰ And He saith, `What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying unto Me from the ground;

¹³ and the men of Sodom are evil, and sinners before Jehovah exceedingly.

¹³ for we are destroying this place, for their cry hath been great before the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah doth send us to destroy it.'

⁹ The appearance of their faces witnessed against them, And their sin, as Sodom, they declared, They have not hidden! Woe to their soul, For they have done to themselves evil.

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.

⁷ Surely our iniquities have testified against us, O Jehovah, work for Thy name's sake, For many have been our backslidings, Against Thee we have sinned.

⁴⁹ Lo, this hath been the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, Arrogancy, fulness of bread, and quiet ease, Have been to her and to her daughters, And the hand of the afflicted and needy She hath not strengthened. ⁵⁰ And they are haughty and do abomination before Me, And I turn them aside when I have seen.

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 Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded;

⁷ Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.'

⁸ and I go down to deliver it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to cause it to go up out of the land, unto a land good and broad, unto a land flowing with milk and honey—unto the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

⁵ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Say unto the sons of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people; one moment—I come up into thy midst, and have consumed thee; and now, put down thine ornaments from off thee, and I know what I do to thee;'

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.

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;

²² `The God of gods—Jehovah, the God of gods—Jehovah, He is knowing, and Israel, he doth know, if in rebellion, and if in trespass against Jehovah (Thou dost not save us this day!)

²² There is no darkness nor death-shade, For workers of iniquity to be hidden there;

⁸ Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,

¹ To the Overseer. —A Psalm by David. Jehovah, Thou hast searched me, and knowest. ² Thou—Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar. ³ My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And with all my ways hast been acquainted. ⁴ For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all! ⁵ Behind and before Thou hast besieged me, And Thou dost place on me Thy hand. ⁶ Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high, I am not able for it.
⁷ Whither do I go from Thy Spirit? And whither from Thy face do I flee? ⁸ If I ascend the heavens—there Thou art, And spread out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee! ⁹ I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea, ¹⁰ Also there Thy hand doth lead me, And Thy right hand doth hold me. ¹¹ And I say, `Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night is light to me. ¹² Also darkness hideth not from Thee, And night as day shineth, as is darkness so is light. ¹³ For Thou—Thou hast possessed my reins, Thou dost cover me in my mother's belly. ¹⁴ I confess Thee, because that with wonders I have been distinguished. Wonderful are Thy works, And my soul is knowing it well. ¹⁵ My substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower part of earth. ¹⁶ Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed—And not one among them.
¹⁷ And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum! ¹⁸ I recount them! than the sand they are more, I have waked, and I am still with Thee. ¹⁹ Dost Thou slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me! ²⁰ Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity are Thine enemies. ²¹ Do not I hate, Jehovah, those hating Thee? And with Thy withstanders grieve myself? ²² With perfect hatred I have hated them, Enemies they have become to me. ²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart, Try me, and know my thoughts, ²⁴ And see if a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a way age-during!

¹ The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, With the point of a diamond, Graven on the tablet of their heart, And on the horns of your altars,

¹⁰ I Jehovah do search the heart, try the reins, Even to give to each according to his way, According to the fruit of his doings.

³ For lo, Jehovah is going out from His place, And He hath come down, And hath trodden on high places of earth.

¹² And it hath come to pass, at that time, I search Jerusalem with lights, And I have laid a charge on the men Who are hardened on their preserved things, Who are saying in their heart: Jehovah doth no good, nor doth He evil.

¹⁵ and he said to them, `Ye are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God doth know your hearts; because that which among men is high, is abomination before God;

³⁸ because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.

¹¹ wherefore? because I do not love you? God hath known!

¹⁶ because the Lord himself, in a shout, in the voice of a chief-messenger, and in the trump of God, shall come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise first,

¹³ and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things are naked and open to His eyes—with whom is our reckoning.

¹ And Jehovah appeareth unto him among the oaks of Mamre, and he is sitting at the opening of the tent, about the heat of the day; ² and he lifteth up his eyes and looketh, and lo, three men standing by him, and he seeth, and runneth to meet them from the opening of the tent, and boweth himself towards the earth,

²³ And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying.

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.

²⁰ Is evil recompensed instead of good, That they have dug a pit for my soul? Remember my standing before Thee to speak good of them, To turn back Thy wrath from them.

³⁰ And I seek of them a man making a fence, And standing in the breach before Me, In behalf of the land—not to destroy it, And I have not found.

⁵⁵ and being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked stedfastly to the heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

¹ I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:

²⁵ Far be it from Thee to do according to this thing, to put to death the righteous with the wicked; that it hath been—as the righteous so the wicked—far be it from Thee; doth the Judge of all the earth not do justice?'

⁴ And Abimelech hath not drawn near unto her, and he saith, `Lord, also a righteous nation dost thou slay?

²² and they fall on their faces, and say, `God, God of the spirits of all flesh—the one man sinneth, and against all the company Thou art wroth!'

¹⁷ And David speaketh unto Jehovah, when he seeth the messenger who is smiting among the people, and saith, `Lo, I have sinned, yea, I have done perversely; and these—the flock—what have they done? Let, I pray Thee, Thy hand be on me, and on the house of my father.'

³ Doth God pervert judgment? And doth the Mighty One pervert justice?

¹⁷ Yea, doth one hating justice govern? Or the Most Just dost thou condemn?

⁴ `Jehovah is in his holy temple: Jehovah—in the heavens is His throne. His eyes see—His eyelids try the sons of men. ⁵ Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated, ⁶ He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind is the portion of their cup. ⁷ For righteous is Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!'

²⁸ And I—nearness of God to me is good, I have placed in the Lord Jehovah my refuge, To recount all Thy works!

²¹ And his honourable one hath been of himself, And his ruler from his midst goeth forth, And I have caused him to draw near, And he hath drawn nigh unto Me, For who is he who hath pledged his heart To draw nigh unto Me? An affirmation of Jehovah.

⁵ And, if our unrighteousness God's righteousness doth establish, what shall we say? is God unrighteous who is inflicting the wrath? (after the manner of a man I speak) ⁶ let it not be! since how shall God judge the world?

²² may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water;

¹⁷ Elijah was a man like affected as we, and with prayer he did pray—not to rain, and it did not rain upon the land three years and six months;

³² And he saith, `Let it not be, I pray Thee, displeasing to the Lord, and I speak only this time: peradventure there are found there ten?' and He saith, `I do not destroy it, because of the ten.'

⁹ Unless Jehovah of Hosts had left to us a remnant, Shortly—as Sodom we had been, To Gomorrah we had been like!

¹ Go to and fro in streets of Jerusalem, And see, I pray you, and know, And seek in her broad places, if ye find a man, If there be one doing judgment, seeking stedfastness—Then am I propitious to her.

¹³ `Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide is the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it; ¹⁴ how strait is the gate, and compressed the way that is leading to the life, and few are those finding it!

²⁴ saying, Be not afraid Paul; before Caesar it behoveth thee to stand; and, lo, God hath granted to thee all those sailing with thee;

⁴ The Rock! —perfect is His work, For all His ways are just; God of stedfastness, and without iniquity: Righteous and upright is He.

²⁰ Lo, God doth not reject the perfect, Nor taketh hold on the hand of evil doers.

²² It is the same thing, therefore I said, `The perfect and the wicked He is consuming.' ²³ If a scourge doth put to death suddenly, At the trial of the innocent He laugheth.

¹⁷ Yea, doth one hating justice govern? Or the Most Just dost thou condemn? ¹⁸ Who hath said to a king—`Worthless,' Unto princes—`Wicked?' ¹⁹ That hath not accepted the person of princes, Nor hath known the rich before the poor, For a work of His hands are all of them.

¹¹ And man saith: `Surely fruit is for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!'

² Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.

⁹ Before Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth, He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the people in uprightness!

¹⁵ The whole I have considered in the days of my vanity. There is a righteous one perishing in his righteousness, and there is a wrong-doer prolonging himself in his wrong.

¹² Though a sinner is doing evil a hundred times, and prolonging himself for it, surely also I know that there is good to those fearing God, who fear before Him. ¹³ And good is not to the wicked, and he doth not prolong days as a shadow, because he is not fearing before God.

¹⁰ Say ye to the righteous, that it is good, Because the fruit of their doings they eat. ¹¹ Woe to the wicked—evil, Because the deed of his hand is done to him.

¹ The righteous hath perished, And there is none laying it to heart, And men of kindness are gathered, Without any considering that from the face of evil Gathered is the righteous one. ² He entereth into peace, they rest on their beds, Each is going straightforward.

¹ Righteous art Thou, O Jehovah, When I plead towards thee, Only, judgments do I speak with Thee, Wherefore did the way of the wicked prosper? At rest have been all treacherous dealers.

¹⁸ And ye have turned back and considered, Between the righteous and the wicked, Between the servant of God and him who is not His servant.

²² for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son, ²³ that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him. ²⁴ `Verily, verily, I say to you—He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life. <sup>25</sup> `Verily, verily, I say to you—There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live; ²⁶ for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself, ²⁷ and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.

¹⁰ for all of us it behoveth to be manifested before the tribunal of the Christ, that each one may receive the things done through the body, in reference to the things that he did, whether good or evil;

¹³ And yet in it a tenth, and it hath turned, And hath been for a burning, As a teil-tree, and as an oak, that in falling, Have substance in them, The holy seed is its substance!'

²² For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, A remnant doth return of it, A consumption determined, Overflowing with righteousness.

²⁴ In that day is Israel third, After Egypt, and after Asshur, A blessing in the heart of the earth.

⁸ Thus said Jehovah: As the new wine is found in the cluster, And one hath said, `Destroy it not for a blessing is in it,' So I do for My servants' sake, not to destroy the whole.

²² And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen, shall those days be shortened.

⁷ And Jehovah God formeth the man—dust from the ground, and breatheth into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becometh a living creature.

¹⁹ by the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for dust thou art, and unto dust thou turnest back.'

³⁰ And he saith, `Let it not be, I Pray thee, displeasing to the Lord, and I speak: peradventure there are found there thirty?' and He saith, `I do it not, if I find there thirty.' ³¹ And he saith, `Lo, I pray thee, I have willed to speak unto the Lord: peradventure there are found there twenty?' and He saith, `I do not destroy it, because of the twenty.' ³² And he saith, `Let it not be, I pray Thee, displeasing to the Lord, and I speak only this time: peradventure there are found there ten?' and He saith, `I do not destroy it, because of the ten.'

⁶ and say, `O my God, I have been ashamed, and have blushed to lift up, O my God, my face unto Thee, for our iniquities have increased over the head, and our guilt hath become great unto the heavens.

¹⁹ Also—the inhabitants of houses of clay, (Whose foundation is in the dust, They bruise them before a moth.)

¹⁹ Casting me into mire, And I am become like dust and ashes.

⁶ Therefore do I loathe it, And I have repented on dust and ashes.
⁷ And it cometh to pass after Jehovah's speaking these words unto Job, that Jehovah saith unto Eliphaz the Temanite, `Burned hath Mine anger against thee, and against thy two friends, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job. ⁸ And now, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go ye unto My servant Job, and ye have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for you; and Job My servant doth pray for you, for surely his face I accept, so as not to do with you folly, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.

⁴ What is man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?

³ Jehovah, what is man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him?

⁷ And the dust returneth to the earth as it was, And the spirit returneth to God who gave it.

⁵ And I say, `Woe to me, for I have been silent, For a man—unclean of lips am I, And in midst of a people unclean of lips I am dwelling, Because the King, Jehovah of Hosts, have my eyes seen.'

⁸ And now, O Jehovah, thou art our Father, We are the clay, and Thou our Framer, And the work of Thy hand—all of us.

⁸ And Simon Peter having seen, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, `Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, O lord;'

¹ And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth us always to pray, and not to faint,

⁴⁷ The first man is out of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord out of heaven; ⁴⁸ as is the earthy, such are also the earthy; and as is the heavenly, such are also the heavenly;

¹ For we have known that if our earthly house of the tabernacle may be thrown down, a building from God we have, an house not made with hands—age-during—in the heavens, ² for also in this we groan, with our dwelling that is from heaven earnestly desiring to clothe ourselves,

²⁶ And Jehovah saith, `If I find in Sodom fifty righteous in the midst of the city, then have I borne with all the place for their sake.'

²⁹ And he addeth again to speak unto Him and saith, `Peradventure there are found there forty?' and He saith, `I do it not, because of the forty.'

¹⁷ `And now, let, I pray Thee, the power of my Lord be great, as Thou hast spoken, saying: ¹⁸ Jehovah is slow to anger, and of great kindness; bearing away iniquity and transgression, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on a third generation, and on a fourth; — ¹⁹ forgive, I pray Thee, the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of Thy kindness, and as Thou hast borne with this people from Egypt, even until now.'

³² And they gird sackcloth on their loins, and ropes are on their heads, and they come in unto the king of Israel, and say, `Thy servant Ben-Hadad hath said, Let me live, I pray thee;' and he saith, `Is he yet alive? he is my brother.' ³³ And the men observe diligently, and hasten, and catch it from him, and say, `Thy brother Ben-Hadad;' and he saith, `Go ye in, bring him;' and Ben-Hadad cometh out unto him, and he causeth him to come up on the chariot.

³ O that I had known—and I find Him, I come in unto His seat, ⁴ I arrange before Him the cause, And my mouth fill with arguments.

¹⁸ through all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and in regard to this same, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—

¹⁶ we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of the grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace—for seasonable help.

¹⁸ And Judah cometh nigh unto him, and saith, `O, my lord, let thy servant speak, I pray thee, a word in the ears of my lord, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant—for thou art as Pharaoh.

³⁹ And Gideon saith unto God, `Let not Thine anger burn against me, and I speak only this time; let me try, I pray Thee, only this time with the fleece—let there be, I pray Thee, drought on the fleece alone, and on all the earth let there be dew.'

¹¹ `All servants of the king, and people of the provinces of the king, do know that any man and woman, who cometh in unto the king, unto the inner court, who is not called—one law of his is to put them to death, apart from him to whom the king holdeth out the golden sceptre, then he hath lived; and I—I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.' <sup>12</sup> And they declare to Mordecai the words of Esther, <sup>13</sup> and Mordecai speaketh to send back unto Esther: `Do not think in thy soul to be delivered in the house of the king, more than all the Jews, ¹⁴ but if thou keep entirely silent at this time, respite and deliverance remaineth to the Jews from another place, and thou and the house of thy fathers are destroyed; and who knoweth whether for a time like this thou hast come to the kingdom?' ¹⁵ And Esther speaketh to send back unto Mordecai: ¹⁶ `Go, gather all the Jews who are found in Shushan, and fast for me, and do not eat nor drink three days, by night and by day; also I and my young women do fast likewise, and so I go in unto the king, that is not according to law, and when I have perished—I have perished.'

⁴ Lo, I have been vile, What do I return to Thee? My hand I have placed on my mouth.

¹² For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.

¹⁷ The desire of the humble Thou hast heard, O Jehovah. Thou preparest their heart; Thou causest Thine ear to attend,

⁷ God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him.

⁸ For not My thoughts are your thoughts, Nor your ways My ways, —an affirmation of Jehovah, ⁹ For high have the heavens been above the earth, So high have been My ways above your ways, And My thoughts above your thoughts.

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.

²⁷ And Abraham answereth and saith, `Lo, I pray thee, I have willed to speak unto the Lord, and I—dust and ashes;

⁷ `Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;

¹¹ if, therefore, ye being evil, have known good gifts to give to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those asking him?

⁸ `I say to you, even if he will not give to him, having risen, because of his being his friend, yet because of his importunity, having risen, he will give him as many as he doth need;

²⁰ which way he did initiate for us—new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh— ²¹ and a high priest over the house of God, ²² may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water;

³⁰ And he saith, `Let it not be, I Pray thee, displeasing to the Lord, and I speak: peradventure there are found there thirty?' and He saith, `I do it not, if I find there thirty.'

⁹ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `I have seen this people, and lo, it is a stiff-necked people; ¹⁰ and now, let Me alone, and My anger doth burn against them, and I consume them, and I make thee become a great nation.'

¹⁴ and Jehovah repenteth of the evil which He hath spoken of doing to His people.

¹³ `And now, if, I pray Thee, I have found grace in Thine eyes, cause me to know, I pray Thee, Thy way, and I know Thee, so that I find grace in Thine eyes, and consider that this nation is Thy people;' <sup>14</sup> and He saith, `My presence doth go, and I have given rest to thee.'

⁶ and Jehovah passeth over before his face, and calleth: `Jehovah, Jehovah God, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth, ⁷ keeping kindness for thousands, taking away iniquity, and transgression, and sin, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on children, and on children's children, on a third generation, and on a fourth.'

⁹ and saith, `If, I pray Thee, I have found grace in Thine eyes, O my Lord, let my Lord, I pray Thee, go in our midst (for it is a stiff-necked people), and thou hast forgiven our iniquity and our sin, and hast inherited us.'
<sup>10</sup> And He saith, `Lo, I am making a covenant: before all thy people I do wonders, which have not been done in all the earth, or in any nation, and all the people in whose midst thou art have seen the work of Jehovah, for it is fearful that which I am doing with thee.

¹¹ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Until when doth this people despise Me? and until when do they not believe in Me, for all the signs which I have done in its midst? <sup>12</sup> I smite it with pestilence, and dispossess it, and make thee become a nation greater and mightier than it.' <sup>13</sup> And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `Then have the Egyptians heard! for Thou hast brought up with Thy power this people out of their midst, 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. ¹⁵ `And Thou hast put to death this people as one man, and the nations who have heard Thy fame have spoken, saying, <sup>16</sup> From Jehovah's want of ability to bring in this people unto the land which He hath sworn to them—He doth slaughter them in the wilderness. <sup>17</sup> `And now, let, I pray Thee, the power of my Lord be great, as Thou hast spoken, saying: ¹⁸ Jehovah is slow to anger, and of great kindness; bearing away iniquity and transgression, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on a third generation, and on a fourth; — ¹⁹ forgive, I pray Thee, the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of Thy kindness, and as Thou hast borne with this people from Egypt, even until now.'
²⁰ And Jehovah saith, `I have forgiven, according to thy word;

²³ If there is by him a messenger, An interpreter—one of a thousand, To declare for man his uprightness:

⁵ For Thou, Lord, art good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.

⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah, And the prayer of the upright is His delight.

⁶ I, Jehovah, did call thee in righteousness, And I lay hold on thy hand, and keep thee, And I give thee for a covenant of a people, And a light of nations. ⁷ To open the eyes of the blind, To bring forth from prison the bound one, From the house of restraint those sitting in darkness.

¹⁵ and the prayer of the faith shall save the distressed one, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if sins he may have committed, they shall be forgiven to him. ¹⁶ Be confessing to one another the trespasses, and be praying for one another, that ye may be healed; very strong is a working supplication of a righteous man; ¹⁷ Elijah was a man like affected as we, and with prayer he did pray—not to rain, and it did not rain upon the land three years and six months;

¹⁵ and if we have known that He doth hear us, whatever we may ask, we have known that we have the requests that we have requested from Him. ¹⁶ If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give to him life to those sinning not unto death; there is sin to death, not concerning it do I speak that he may beseech;

⁵⁵ and Laban riseth early in the morning, and kisseth his sons and his daughters, and blesseth them; and Laban goeth on, and turneth back to his place.

²⁶ and he saith, `Send me away, for the dawn hath ascended:' and he saith, `I send thee not away, except thou hast blessed me.'
