The indictment
*
And
they said,
Go to,
let us
build us a city and a tower,
whose top may reach unto heaven;

and
let us make us a name,

lest
we
be scattered
 abroad upon
the face
of
the whole earth.

And

king
of
Sheshach
shall drink after them.
***
Sheshach taken!

and

how is the praise of the whole earth surprised!
how
is
Babylon
become
an
astonishment among the nations!

The
sea
is
come up upon Babylon:

she
is
covered
with the multitude
of
the waves
thereof.

Her cities are a desolation, a dry land,
and a wilderness,
a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.
***
And

I

will punish 
Bel 
in 
Babylon,

and

I
will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up:

and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him:

yea,
the wall of Babylon shall fall.
My people,

go ye out of the midst of her,
and deliver ye every man his sorule from the fierce anger of the Lord.
***
Is it
nothing to you,
all ye that pass by?
behold,

and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me,

wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.

From above hath he sent fire into my bones,
and
it
prevaileth against them:

he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back:

he hath made me desolate and faint all the day.

The yoke of my transgressions
is bound by his hand:

they are wreathed,

and come up upon my neck:

he hath made my strength to fall,

the Lord hath delivered me into their hands,

from whom
I am
not
able to rise up.

The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me:

he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.

For these things
I weep;

mine eye,


mine eye runneth down with water,
because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me:
my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.

Zion
spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her:

the Lord hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him:
Jerusalem
is
as a
menstruous woman among
them.

The Lord
is righteous;

for
I
have rebelled against
his commandment:

hear,

I
pray you,
all people,

and behold my sorrow:

my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.

I called for my lovers, but they deceived me:

my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city,
while they sought their meat to relieve their souls.
Behold,
O Lord;
for
I am
in distress:

my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled:

abroad the sword bereaveth,
at home there is as death.

They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort me:

all mine enemies have heard of my trouble;

they are glad that thou hast done it:
thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called, (Jesus)
and they shall be like unto me.

Let all their wickedness come before thee;
and do unto them,
as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions:

for my sighs are many,

and my heart is faint.

How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger,

and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel,

and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!

The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob,

and hath not pitied:

he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah;

he hath brought them down to the ground:

he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.

He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel:

he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy,

and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire,
which devoureth round about.

He hath bent his bow like an enemy:

he stood with his right hand as an adversary,

and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion:

he poured out his fury like fire.

The Lord was as an enemy:

he hath swallowed up Israel,

he hath swallowed up all her palaces:

he hath destroyed his strong holds,
and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.

And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle,
as if it were of a garden:

he hath destroyed his places of the assembly:

the Lord hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion,

and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.

The Lord hath cast off his altar,
he hath abhorred his sanctuary,
he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the Lord,
as in the day of a solemn feast.

***
Simeon
and
Levi
are brethren;

instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
***

And God created great whales,
and
every living creature that moveth,
which the waters brought forth abundantly,
after their kind,

and
every winged fowl after his kind:

and
God saw that it was good.

**
And
God made the beast of the earth
after his kind,

and
cattle after their kind,
**
and
every thing that
creepeth
upon
the
earth after his kind:
**
Of
fowls after their kind,

and
of
cattle after their kind,

of
every creeping thing
of
the earth after
his kind,
two
of
every sort

shall come unto
thee,
to
keep them alive.

**
They,
and
every beast after
his kind,
and
all the cattle
after
their kind,

and
every creeping
                               thing
that creepeth upon
the earth
after his kind,
and

after his kind,
every bird of every sort.

And it shall come to pass,
that
every thing that liveth,
which
moveth,
whithersoever
the

rivers shall come,
shall live:

and
there
shall be a very great
multitude
of fish,
**
And
it
shall come to pass in that day,

that every place shall be,
where there
were
a
thousand vines
at
a
thousand silverlings,
it
shall
even be
for
briers
and
thorns.

With arrows
and
with bows shall men come thither; because
all
the
 land shall become briers
and
thorns.

***
because
these waters

shall
come thither:

for
they shall be healed;
and
every thing
shall live
whither
the
river cometh.

And
it
shall come to pass,
that
the
fishers
shall stand upon
it
from
Engedi
 even
unto
Eneglaim;
they
shall be a place
to
spread forth
nets;
their
fish
shall be according
to
their kinds,
as
the
fish of the great sea,
 exceeding many.

**
O
my soul,
come not thou
into
their secret;

unto
their assembly,

mine
honour,
be not thou united:
**
And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore,
that two of the sons of Jacob,
Simeon
and Levi,

Dinah's brethren,

took
each man his sword,
and
came upon the city boldly,
and
slew all the males.

And
they slew
Hamor and Shechem
his son
with the edge
of the
sword,

and
took Dinah
out
of
Shechem's house,
and
went out.

***
for in their anger they slew a man,

and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
**
The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion:
***
And
Abraham stretched forth his hand,

and
took the knwife to slay his son.
And
the
angel
of
the
Lord
called unto
him
out of heaven,

and said,
Abraham,

Abraham:

and
he said,
Here
am I.

And he said,

Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him:
for now
I
Know
that thou fearest God,

seeing thou hast not withheld
thy son,
***
And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him,
Lift up
now
thine eyes,
*
And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand.
And he gave him tithes of all.

**

and look from the place where thou art northward,
and
southward,
and eastward,
and westward:

**

thine
only
son from me.

**
he
hath stretched
out
a line,

he
hath
not withdrawn his hand
from destroying:

therefore he made the rampart
and the wall to lament;
they languished together.
**
And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram;
***
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place;
and
I
knew
it not.
**
and
I was afraid,
***

And
he was afraid,
and said,
How dreadful is this place!
**
Where
is
Abel thy brother?

And
he
said,
***
this
is
none other
but
the
house of God,
and
this
is
the
gate of heaven.
***

Her
gates
are
sunk into the ground;

he
hath destroyed

and
broken her bars:

her king
and
her princes
are
among the Gentiles:

the
law
is no more;

her
prophets
also
find
no vision
from the Lord.

    
The elders
of
the daughter
of
Zion
sit upon the ground,

and
keep silence:

they
have cast up dust upon their heads;

they
have girded themselves with sackcloth:

the
virgins
of
Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.

Mine eyes do fail with tears,
**
And,
behold,

the
word of the Lord came unto him,
saying,
This shall not be thine heir;

but
he that shall come forth out
of
thine own bowels shall be thine heir.

***

my bowels are troubled,
**
He
goeth
after her
straightway,
as
an ox
goeth to the slaughter,

or as a fool to the correction
of
the stocks;
Till
a
dart strike through his liver;

as a bird hasteth
to
the snare,

and
knoweth not
that
it is
for
his life.

***
my liver is poured upon the earth,
for
the
destruction
of
the
daughter of my people;

because
the
children

and
the
sucklings swoon
in
the
streets of the city.

They say to their mothers,
Where is corn

and
wine?

when they swooned
as
the
wounded in the streets
of
the city,

when their soul
was
poured out
into
their mothers' bosom.

What thing shall I take to witness for thee?

what thing shall I liken to thee,

O
daughter of Jerusalem?

what shall
I
equal to thee,

that
I
may comfort thee,

O
virgin daughter
of
Zion?

for thy breach is great like the sea:
who
can heal thee?

Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee:

and they have not discovered thine inequity,
to turn away thy captivity;

but
have seen
for
thee false burdens

and
causes of banishment.

All that pass by clap their hands at thee;
they hiss
and
wag their head
at the
daughter of Jerusalem,

saying,
Is this the city that men call
The
perfection of beauty,

The joy of the whole earth?

All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee:

they
hiss

and
gnash the teeth:

they say,
We
have swallowed her up:

certainly
this
is
the
day
that
we
looked
for;

we
have found,

we
have seen it.

The Lord
hath done that which
he had
devised;

he
hath
fulfilled his word
that he
had commanded
in
the
days of old:

he
hath thrown down,

and
hath not pitied:
**

And he said,
I heard thy voice in the garden,
and
I
was afraid,

because
I
was naked;

and
I
hid myself.

And he said,

Who
told thee that thou wast naked?
**
And
he
brought him forth abroad,
and said,
Look
now toward heaven,
and
tell (count) the stars,

if
thou
be
able
to
number them:

and
he
said unto
him,
So
shall thy seed be.
***
and
he
hath
caused
thine enemy
to
rejoice over thee,
he
hath set up the horn
of
thine adversaries.
**

Therefore
thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel;
Drink ye,
and
be drunken,

and
spue,

and
fall,

and
rise no more,
because of the sword which
I
will send among you.
***
Thus saith
thy
Lord
*
Jacob
is
the
lot
of
his inheritance.

*
the
Lord,

and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people,
Behold,
I
have taken
out of thine hand
the cup of trembling,
even
the
dregs of the cup
of
my fury;

thou
shalt
no more drink it again:

But
I
will put it into the hand
of
them that afflict thee;

which have
said
to
thy soul,

Bow down,
that
we
may go over:

and thou hast laid
thy body
as the ground,

and
as
the
street,
to them that went over.

Awake,
awake;
put on
thy strength,
O
Zion;
put
on
thy
beautiful garments,

 O Jerusalem,
the
holy city:

for
henceforth
there
shall no more come into thee
the
 uncircumcised
and
the unclean.

Shake thyself
from
the
dust;
arise,
and
sit down,
O
Jerusalem:

loose thyself from the bands
of
thy neck,
O
captive daughter
of
Zion.

**

And it shall be,
if
they
refuse to take the cup
at
thine hand to drink,
then shalt thou say unto them,

Thus saith the Lord of hosts;
Ye
shall certainly drink.
***
And he said,
Thy name shall be called no more Jacob,
but Israel:
for as a prince hast thou power with God
and
with men,
and
hast prevailed.

And Jacob asked him,
and said,
Tell me,
I pray thee,
thy name.
And he said,
Wherefore
is it
that thou
dost
ask after
my name?

And
he
blessed
him there.

**
For,

lo,
I

begin
to
bring evil
on
the city which is called
by
my name,

and
should
ye be
utterly unpunished?

Ye
shall
not be
unpunished:

for
I
will call
for
a
sword upon all the inhabitants
of
the earth,
saith the Lord of hosts.
***
But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you;
then it shall come to pass,
that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes,
and thorns in your sides,
and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
Moreover it shall come to pass, that
I
shall do unto you,
as
I
thought to do unto them.
****

For
they
said,
Behold,

while
the
child
was yet alive,

we
spake

unto

him,
**
And God said,
Let us
make man
in
our
image,
**
in
the image

of
God
created
he

him;
***

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
said,

It is
not good
that
the
man
should be alone;
I
will make
him
an
help meet
for him.

**
and

he
would not hearken unto
our voice:

how
will
he  then
vex
himself,

if
we
tell him that the child

is

dead?

***
Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount
Ephraim,
and
his name was
Elkanah,
the son
of
Jeroham,

the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:

And
he
had
two wives;
the
name
of the
one was Hannah,
and
the name
of the
other Peninnah:
and
Peninnah had children,
but
Hannah had no children.

And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the Lord of hosts in Shiloh.
And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas,

the
priests
of
the
Lord,
were there.
And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife,
and
to all her sons and her daughters, portions:

But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion;

**
And
Jacob loved Rachel;
***
for
he
loved
Hannah:
but the Lord had shut up her womb.
**
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.

***
And
her adversary
also
provoked her sore,
for to make her fret, because the Lord had shut up her womb.

And as he did so year by year,
when she went up to the house of the Lord,
so
she provoked her;
therefore
she wept,
and
did not eat.

Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou?

and why eatest thou not?
and why is thy heart grieved?
am not I better to thee than ten sons?
So
Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh,
And
after they had drunk.

Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the Lord.

And
she
 was in bitterness of soul,
and
prayed unto the Lord,
and
wept sore.

**
And
Jacob
vowed a vow,
saying,

If
God
will be with me,

and
will keep me

in
this way that
I
go,

and
will give me bread to eat,

and
raiment to put on,

So
that
I
come again
to
my
father's house
in
peace;
then
shall
the
Lord
be
my God:

***
And
she
vowed
a
vow,

and
said,

O
Lord of hosts
if
thou wilt indeed look
on
the
affliction
of
thine handmaid,

and
remember
me,

and
not forget thine handmaid,
but
wilt give unto
thine
handmaid a man child,
then
I
will give him unto
the
Lord
all the days of his life,

and
there
shall no razor come upon his head.

And
it
came to pass,
as
she
continued praying
before
the Lord,

that
Eli
marked her mouth.

Now Hannah,
she
spake

in
her

heart;
only
her lips moved,

but
her
voice was not heard:
therefore Eli thought

she
had been drunken.

And
Eli
said
unto
her,
How long wilt thou
be
drunken?

put away
thy
wine
from
thee.
***
Unto the woman he said,
I will greatly multiply
thy
sorrow
and
thy
conception;
in
sorrow
thou
shalt bring forth children;

and
thy
desire
shall be to

thy husband,
***
and
the
darkness
he
called Night.
**
and
he
shall
rule
over thee.

**
And Hannah
answered
and
said,

No,
my lord,
I am
a
woman
of a
sorrowful spirit:
I
have drunk
neither wine
nor
strong drink,

but
have poured out
my
soul before the Lord.
**
Certain men,
the
children of Belial,
are
gone out from among you,
and
have withdrawn
the
inhabitants of their city,
saying,
Let us go
and
serve other gods,
which ye have not known;
***

Count not
thine handmaid
for
a
daughter of Belial:
**
And Rebekah said
to
Isaac,

I am
weary
of
my life
because
of
the
daughters
of
Heth:
***
for
out of
the
abundance
of
my
complaint
and
grief have
I
spoken hitherto.

Then
Eli
answered
and
said,
Go in
peace:
and
the
God
of
Israel grant
thee
thy
petition
that
thou hast
asked
of
him.
And
she
said,
Let thine handmaid find grace
in
thy
sight.
***
And God looked upon the earth,
and,
behold,
it
was corrupt;

for
all flesh
had corrupted
his way
upon the earth.
*
And
all flesh
died
that moved upon
the earth,
both of fowl,

and
of cattle,
and
of
beast,
and
of
every
creeping thing
that
creepeth
upon the earth,
and
every man:

*
Then
Lot chose him
all
the plain of Jordan;
and
Lot journeyed east:
and
they separated
themselves
the
one
from
the
 other.

*
And
the
Lord
went
his way,
as soon
as
he
had
left communing
with
Abraham:
and
Abraham returned unto
his place.

***
So
the
woman went
her way,

and
did eat,
and
her
countenance
was
no more sad.

And
they
rose up in the morning early,

and
worshipped before
the Lord,

and
returned,
and
came
to
their house
to
Ramah:
and
Elkanah knew Hannah
**
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,
and
shall cleave
unto
his wife:

and
they
shall
be
one
flesh.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
***
his wife;
and
the Lord
remembered
her.

Wherefore it came to pass,
when
the time
was come about
after Hannah
had conceived,
that
she
bare a son,
and
called his name

Samuel,
saying,
Because
I
have asked
 him
of
the Lord.

And
the
man Elkanah,
and
all his house,

went up to offer
unto
the Lord the yearly sacrifice,
and
his

vow.

But Hannah went not up;
for
she said
 unto
her husband,
I
will
not go up
until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord,
and
there
abide
for ever.
 
And Elkanah her husband said unto her,
Do what seemeth thee good;
tarry until thou have weaned him;
only
the
Lord
establish his
word.

So
the
woman abode,

and
gave her son suck until she weaned him.

And
when
she
had weaned
him,

she
took
him
up with her,

with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto
the
house of the
Lord
in
Shiloh:
and
the child was young.

  And they slew a bullock,
and
brought the child to Eli.

And
she said,
Oh my lord,

as thy soul liveth,
my lord,

I am
the
woman

that stood by thee here, praying unto the Lord.
For
this child
I
prayed;

and
the
Lord hath given
me
my
petition which
I
asked of him:
Therefore also
I
have

lent him

to
the
Lord;

as
long
as
he
liveth

he
shall
be
lent
to
the
Lord.

And
he
worshipped
the
Lord there.

And
Hannah prayed,
and
said,

My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
There
is
none
holy as the Lord:
for
there
is
none beside thee:
neither
is
there
any rock like
our God.

Talk no more
so
exceeding proudly;
let not arrogancy come out of your mouth:

for
the
Lord
is a
God
Of
 knowledge,

and
by him
actions are weighed.
The bows of the mighty men are broken,
and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

They that were full have hired out themselves for bread;

and
they
that were hungry ceased:
**
Sing,
O barren,
thou that didst not bear;

break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child:
for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.

***
so
that
the
barren hath born seven;

and
she
that
hath many children
is
waxed feeble.

The Lord killeth,
 and
maketh alive:

he
bringeth down to the grave,

and
bringeth up.

The Lord
maketh poor,

and
maketh rich:

he
bringeth low,

and
lifteth up.

He
raiseth
up the poor out
of
the
dust,

and
lifteth up the beggar
from
the
dunghill,
to
set
them
among princes,

and
to make
them
inherit
the
throne of glory:

for
the
pillars
of
the
earth
are the Lord's,

and
he
hath set
the
world upon them.

He
will keep
the
feet
of
his saints,

and
the wicked
shall be silent
in
darkness;

for
by
strength
shall no
man prevail.

The
adversaries
of
the
Lord shall
be
broken to pieces;

out
of
heaven
shall
he
thunder upon them:

the
Lord
shall judge
the
ends
of
the earth;

and
he
shall give strength
unto
his
king,

and
exalt the horn
of
his
anointed.

And Elkanah went
to Ramah
to
his house.

And
the
child did minister
unto
the Lord
before
Eli the priest.
**

And
I
will raise
me
up
a
faithful priest,

that
shall
do
according
to
that
which
is in
mine heart

and
in my
mind:

and
I
will build
him
a
sure house;

and
he
shall walk before
mine
anointed
for ever.
And
it
shall come to pass,

that
every
one

that
is
left
in
thine
house

***
And
the
Lord
spake unto Moses,
Go unto
Pharaoh,
and
say
unto him,

Thus saith
the
Lord,

Let my people go,
that
they
may
serve me.

And
if
thou
refuse to let them go,

behold,

I
will smite
all thy
borders
with frogs:

And
the
river
shall bring forth frogs
abundantly,

which shall
go up
and
come
into


and
into
thy
bedchamber,

and
upon thy bed,

and
into
the
house
of
thy servants,
and
upon
thy people,

and into thine ovens,
and
into thy
kneadingtroughs:?

And
the
frogs
shall come
up
both on thee,
and
upon
thy people,

and
upon
all thy
servants.

And
the
Lord
spake
unto
Moses,

Say unto
Aaron,
Stretch
forth
thine hand

with
thy rod
over
the
streams,

over
the
rivers,

and
over the ponds,
and
cause frogs
to
come up
upon
the
land of Egypt.
**
thine house,
***

shall come
and
crouch
to
him
for
a
piece
of
silver
and
a
morsel
of
bread,
and
shall say,

Put me,
I pray thee,
into
one
of
the
priests' offices,

that
I
may eat
a
piece of bread.
  ***
And the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord before Eli. And the word of the Lord was precious in those days;
there was no open vision.

Samuel
