and

the

waters shall

no more

become

a flood to destroy

all flesh.

*

Noah was a just man

and perfect in his generations,

 

and Noah walked with God.

 

*

And the

bow

shall

be in

the

cloud;

 

and

I

will look upon it,

*

And the Lord

said,

 

I

will destroy man

whom I

have created

from

the

face

of

the earth;

 

both man,

and beast,

*

And the

Lord God

said unto

the

serpent,

 

Because

thou hast done this,

 

thou art

 

cursed

above all

 

cattle,

*

Behold now,

I know

 that

thou art

a fair woman to look upon:

 

*

 

 

and above every beast

of

the field;

 

upon thy belly shalt thou go,

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

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.

 

*

Whatsoever

goeth upon

the belly,

**

Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon

all four,

which have legs above their feet,

to leap withal upon the earth;

Even these of them ye may eat;

*

And she

said to

her father,

 

Let it not displease

my lord

that I

cannot rise up

 

before thee;

 

for the

custom of women

is upon me.

 

And

he

searched,

 

but

found not the images.

 

*

 

the locust after

his kind,

 

and the bald locust after his kind,

and the beetle after his kind,

 

and the grasshopper after his kind.

*

And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof.

 

*

     But all other flying creeping things,

which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.

 

And

for these

ye

shall be unclean:

whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.

 

**

 

and

whatsoever

goeth upon all four,

or

whatsoever

hath more feet among all creeping things

that creep upon the earth,

 

them

ye

shall not eat;

for they are an abomination.

 

*

and the creeping thing,

and

 the fowls of the air;

 

for it

repenteth me

that I

have made them.

*

 

that I

 

may remember the everlasting covenant between God

and every living creature of all flesh

*

For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one

that is

proud and lofty,

and upon every one

**

and bare

 

up the ark,

and it

was lift up above the earth.

 

*

that is

lifted up;

and he

shall be brought low:

 

*

that is

upon the earkh.

 

 

For Tophet

is

ordained

of old;

 

yea,

 

for the king

it is

prepared;

 

he

 hath made it deep and large:

the pile

thereof is fire

and much wood;

 

the breath

of the

Lord ISamuelYea,

 

like a stream

of

brimstone,

doth kindle it.

 

Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses,

and trust in chariots,

 

because they are many;

 

and in horsemen,

 

because they are very strong;

 

but they

look not unto the

Holy One

of Israel,

neither seek

the Lord!

 

Yet

he also

is wise,

 

and will bring evil,

 

and will not call back

his words:

 

but will arise against the house of the evildoers,

and against the help of them that work inequity.

 

*

wherefore it is said,

Even as Nimrod

the

mighty hunter

 

before

the Lord.

 

 

And the beginning

of

his

kingdom was Babel,

*

And the earkh

was

without form,

 

and void;

*

and Erech,

and Accad,

and Calneh,

 

*

He discovereth deep things out of darkness,

and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.

*

For God doth

know

that in

the day ye eat thereof,

 

then your

eyes shall

be opened,

 

and ye shall be as gods,

 

knowing

good and evil.

*

and man became a living soul.

 

*

 

He increaseth the nations,

 

and destroyeth them:

 

he enlargeth the nations,

 

and straiteneth them again.

 

He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth,

 

and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.

 

They

grope in

the dark

without light,

*

and Erech,

and Accad,

and Calneh,

 

*

and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.

*

and  darkness

 

was upon

the

face

 

of

the deep.

 

 

And the

Spirit

 

of God moved

 

upon

 

the face

of

the waters.

 

*

And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought,

 

and the rock

is removed out

of his place.

 

The waters wear the stones:

 

thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth;

 

and thou

destroyest the hope

of man.
