And God - made two - great lights; the greater light to rule the day,

and the lesser light to rule the night: . . .

**

And God said, Let there be light:

and there was light.

And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:

And there came a messenger unto Job,

and said,

The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:

And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away;

yea,

they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped - alone to tell thee.

And he said,

Cursed be Canaan;

a servant - of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

After this - opened - Job –

his mouth,

and cursed his day.

And Job spake,

and said,

Let the day perish wherein I was born,

and the night in which it was said,

There is a man child conceived.

Let that day be darkness;

let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.

Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

And God saw the light, that it was good:

and God divided the light - from - the darkness.

**

But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.

Yea,

they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets:

therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hosts.

***

I have trodden the winepress alone;

and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.

For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

And I looked,

and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.

             

I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

for thus it is written by the prophet,

And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

For he said,

Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.
