And
God saw the light,
that
it was good:
That
the
sons of God saw the daughters of men that
they were fair;
*
he
began to be a mighty one in the earth.
He
was a mighty hunter before the Lord:
*
Therefore
saith
the Lord,
the Lord of hosts,
the mighty One of Israel,
Ah,
I
will ease me of mine
adversaries,
and avenge me of mine enemies:
**
They
chose
new gods;
then
was
war
in
the
gates:
was
there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand
in Israel?
*
And
the Lord said, My spirit shall not always
strive with man, for that he also is
flesh: forty thousand in Israel?
My
heart is toward the governors of Israel,
that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the
Lord.
Speak,
ye
that
ride on white asses, ye that sit
in judgment, and walk by the way.
*
So
God
created man in his own image,
**
Hear
diligently my speech,
and let this be your consolations.
Suffer me that I may speak;
*
But
Sarai
was barren;
she
had no child.
**
upon
thy belly shalt thou go, and dust
shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
**
he
came in unto me to
lie with me,
and
I cried
with a loud voice:
**
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.
**
and after that I have spoken, mock on.
As for me,
is my
complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
**
Mark me,
and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your
mouth.
Even
when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh
hold on my flesh.
Wherefore do the wicked live,
become old, yea, are mighty in power?
Their seed is established in their sight with them, and
their offspring before their eyes.
Their
houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon
them.
Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their
cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
They
take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the
sound of the organ.
They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down
to the grave.
*
And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow
and go over, he shall reach even to the
neck;
and the stretching out of his wings shall fill
the breadth of thy land,
O
Immanuel.
Associate yourselves,
O
ye people,
and ye
shall be broken
in pieces;
and give ear,
all ye of far countries:
gird yourselves,
and ye
shall be broken
in pieces;
Take counsel
together,
and it shall come to nought;
speak the word,
and it shall not stand:
for
God
is
with us.
*
Let
us
make man in our image,
*
For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong
hand, and instructed me that I should not walk
in the way of this people,
saying,
Say ye not,
A confederacy,
to all them
to whom this people shall say, A confederacy;
*
In all this
Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
*
neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
*
But
when he seeth his children, the work
of mine hands, in the midst of him, they
shall sanctify my name, and sanctify
the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear
the God of Israel.
They
also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding,
and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
**
Sanctify the Lord
of hosts himself;
and let him be your fear, and let him
be your dread.
ISamuelah
