Sheba IV

for thee have I seen righteous - before me - in this generation.

I do set my bow in the cloud,

and it shall be for a token of a covenant - between me - and the earth.

And it shall come to pass,

when I bring a cloud over the earth,

that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

And I will remember my covenant,

which is - between me - and you and every living creature of all flesh;

and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

And his father refused,

and said,

I know it,

my son,

I know it:

And when the woman saw that the tree w-as good - for food,

and that it was pleasant to the eyes,

I am not inferior un-to you.

Surely I would speak to the Almighty,

and I desire to reason with God.

But ye are forgers of lies,

ye are all physicians of no value.

and a tree to be desired to make one wise,

she took of the fruit thereof,

and did eat,

and gave also unto her husband with her;

and he did eat.

And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead,

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife,

and hast eaten of the tree,

of which I commanded thee,

saying,

Thou shalt not eat of it:

cursed is the ground for thy sake;

in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

she mourned - for her husband.

Let a little water,

I pray you,

be fetched,

and wash your feet,

and rest yourselves under the tree:

And I will fetch a morsel of bread,

and comfort ye your hearts;

after that ye shall pass on:

for therefore are ye come to your servant.

And they said,

So do, - as thou hast said.

And when the mourning w-as past,

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground,

And Abraham ran unto the herd,

and fetched a calf tender and good,

and gave it unto a young man;

and he hasted to dress it.

David sent and fetched her to his house,

and she became his wife,

So God created man in his own image,

in the image of God created he him;

and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;

and man became a living soul.

and bare him a son.

dis-please

(dis-plez)v. dis-pleased, dis-pleas-ing, dis-pleas-es.v. tr. To cause annoyance or vexation to.v. intr. To cause annoyance or displeasure.

But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord.

And the Lord sent Nathan unto David.

And he came unto him,

and said un-to him,

There were two men in one city;

the one rich,

and the other poor.

And Ab-el,

he also brought of the firstlings of his flock

and of the fat there-of.

And God created great whales,

and every living creature that moveth,

and he called his name Enos:

 then began men to call upon the name of the Lord.

I am as one mocked of his neighbour,

who calleth upon God,

and he answereth him:

the just upright man is laughed to scorn.

The rich man had exceeding many flocks and her-ds:

But the poor man had nothing,

save one little ewe lamb,

And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years:

and he begat sons and daughters:

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair;

and they took them wives of all which they chose.

And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house,

or bought with money of any stranger,

which is not of thy seed.

which he had bought and nourished up:

and it grew up together with him,

and with his children;

it did eat of his own meat,

and drank of his own cup,

and lay in his bosom,

and w-as unto him as a daughter.

and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.

And there came a traveller unto the rich man,

So God created man in his own image,

and he spared to take of his own flock

and of his own herd,

And the Lord God took the man,

and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it - and to keep it.

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying,

Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,

thou shalt not eat of it:

for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

                          

to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him;

but took the poor man's lamb,

and dressed it for the man that was come to him.

And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man;

and he said to Nathan,

And the Lord God said un-to the serpent, Because thou hast done this,

thou art cursed above all cattle,

and above every beast of the field;                  

Why died I not from the womb?

why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?

up-on thy belly shalt thou go,

and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

thee

And I will put enmity - between - thee and the woman,

and between thy seed - and her seed;

it shall bruise thy head,

and thou shalt bruise his heel.

This twenty years have I been with thee; 

thy ewes - and thy she goats have not cast their young,

and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.

And I will put enmity - between - thee and the woman,

and between thy seed - and her seed;

it shall bruise thy head,

and thou shalt bruise his heel.

As the Lord liveth,

the man that hath done this thing shall surely die:

And he shall restore the lamb fourfold,

because he did this thing,

and because he had no pity.

And Nathan said to David,

I have said to corruption,

Thou art my father:

to the worm,

Thou art my mother,

and my sister.

And where is now my hope?

as for my hope,

who shall see it?

They shall go down to the bars of the pit,

when our rest together is in the dust.

Thou art the man.

Thus saith the Lord God of Is ra el,

I anointed thee king over Israel,

and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;

And I gave thee thy master's house,

and thy master's wives into thy bosom,

and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah;

and if that had been too little,

I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.

and beast of the earth after his kind:

and it was so.

Where-fore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord,

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.

to do evil in his sight?

thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword,

and hast taken his wife to be thy wife,

And the younger,

she also bare a son,

and called his name Benammi:

the same is the father of the children of Ammon un-to this day.

and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

Now

Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me,

and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.

 Thus saith the Lord,

Behold,

I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house,

and I will take thy wives before thine eyes,

and give them un-to thy neighbour,

and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.

 For thou didst it secretly:

but I will do this thing before all Israel,

and before the sun.

 And David said unto Nathan,

I have sinned against the Lord.

And Nathan said unto David,

The Lord also hath put away thy sin;

thou shalt not die.

 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.

Howbeit,

because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme,

the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.
