Burn baby burn
For
the Lord's portion is his people;
Jacob is
the lot of his inheritance.
He found him in a desert land,
and in the waste howling wilderness;
he led
him about,
And
Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand
under my thigh:
And
I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven,
and
the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife
unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites,
among whom I dwell:
*
And
he said,
Blessed
be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not left
destitute my
master
of his mercy and his truth:
I
being in the way, the
Lord led me
to the house of my master's brethren.
*
And
I
bowed
down my head, and worshipped the Lord,
and
blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the
right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.
*
Behold,
Rebekah is before thee, take her and go,
and let her be thy master's son's
wife, as the Lord hath spoken.
And
it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words,
he worshipped the Lord, bowing himself to the earth.
*
he instructed him,
And
Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain,
an
instructor of every artificer in brass
and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
he
kept
him
as the apple of his eye.
*
Of
fowls also of the air by sevens,
the male
and the female;
to
keep seed alive upon
the face of all
the earth.
*
As
an eagle stirreth up her nest,
fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings,
taketh
them,
beareth them on
her wings:
*
So the Lord alone
did
lead him,
and
there was no strange god with him.
He
made
him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields;
and
he made him to suck honey out of
the rock, and oil out of the flinty
rock;
Butter
of kine,
and
milk of sheep,
with
fat
of lambs,
and
rams of the breed of Bashan,
and
goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat;
and thou didst drink the pure
blood of the grape.
But Jeshurun waxed fat, - and kicked:
thou
art waxen fat, - thou art grown thick,
- thou art covered with fatness;
then
he forsook God
which made him, - and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they
him to anger.
They
sacrificed unto d-evils, - not to God;
to
gods
whom they
knew not, - to new
gods
that came newly up,
whom your fathers feared not.
Of
the Rock that begat thee
thou art unmindful,
and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
And
when the Lord saw it,
he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons,
and
of his daughters.
And
he said,
I
will hide my face from them, - I will see what their end shall be:
for
they are a very froward generation,
- children in whom is no faith.
They
have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God;
they
have provoked me to anger
with their vanities:
and
I
will move them to jealousy with
those which are not a people;
I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
For a fire is kindled in mine anger,
and
shall
burn unto the lowest hell,
and
shall consume the earth with her increase,
and
set on fire
the foundations of the mountains.
I will heap mischiefs upon them;
I will
spend mine arrows upon them.
They shall be burnt
with hunger,
and
devoured with burning heat,
and
with bitter destruction:
I will also send the teeth of beasts
upon them, with the poison
of serpents of the dust.
The sword without,
and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin,
the suckling also with the man
of
gray hairs.
