was

going down,

deep sleep

fell

upon Abram;

great darkness

fell upon

him.

God

moved

I

will not hear:

are

full

of

blood.

An he

said

unto Abram,

 

Know

stranger

They

that dwell

in

mine house,

 

and my maids,

 

count me

for

a stranger:

 

I am

an alien

in

their sight.

 

I

called my servant,

 

an he

gave me

no answer;

 

I

entreated

him

with my mouth.

 

My

breath

is

strange

to

my wife,

 

though

I

entreated

for

the children=s

sake

of

mine own body.

 

Yea,

 

young children despised

me;

 

I arose,

spake against

me.

 

All

my

inward friends

abhorred me:

***

 

And gladness

is

taken away,

 

an joy out

of

the plentiful field;

 

an in

the

vineyards

there

shall be no singing,

 

neither

shall

there be shouting:

 

the

treaders shall tread

out no wine

in

their presses;

 

I

have made

their vintage shouting

to

cease.

 

Wherefore

my

bowels

shall sound like

an harp

for

Moab,

 

an mine

inward parts

for

Kirharesh.

 

An it

shall come

to pass,

when

 it is

seen

that Moab

is

weary on

the

high place,

 

that he

shall come

to

his sanctuary

to

 pray;

but he shall

not prevail.

++

an they

whom I loved

are

turned against

me.

 

My bone

cleaveth

to

my skin

an

to my flesh,

 

an I am

escaped with

the skin

of

my teeth.

++

 

an shall serve

them;

 

an they

shall afflict

them

four hundred years;

 

An also

that nation,

 

whom they

shall serve,

 

will

I

judge:

an afterward

shall

they come out

with

great substance.

***

 

But

yet

in it

shall be

a

tenth,

 

an

it

shall return,

 

an shall

be

eaten:

as a teil tree,

 

an as an

oak,

 

whose

substance

isin

them,

 

when they

cast

their leaves:

 

so

the

holy seed shall

be

the

substance thereof.
