An-d he said,

Blessed be the Lord God of She-m;

and Canaan shall be his servant.

God shall enlarge Japheth,

and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem;

and Canaan sh-all be his servant.

Bethel,

he -and all the people that were -with him.

And he built there an altar, . . .

And the gold of that land is good:

there is bdellium - and the onyx stone.

And this shall be your north border:

from the - - great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:

and said,

The voice is Jacob's voice,

and ye shall be as gods,

knowing good and evil.

Doth Job fear God for nought?

    Hast not thou made an hedge about him,

and - touch all that he hath,

and he will curse thee to thy face.

the same became mighty men which were of old,

men of re-nown.

And the Lord said unto him,

Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain,

vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.

And who-so falleth not down -and worshippeth,

saying,

This came out first.

And it came to pass,

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,

and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth,

and it grieved him at - his heart.

And the Lord said,

I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth;

both man,

and beast,

and the creeping thing,

Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him,

they came every one from his own place; . . . and Zophar the Naamathite:

. . . therefore his name was called Pharez.

 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

And to rule over the day

and over the night,

and to divide the light -from the darkness:

and God saw that it was good.

There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon,

Shadrach,

Meshach,

and Abednego;

these men,

O king,

have not regarded thee:

they serve not thy gods,

nor worship the gold-en image which thou hast set up.

Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage

and fury commanded to bring Shadrach,

Meshach,

and Abednego.

Then they brought these men before the king.

And the serpent said unto the woman,

Ye shall not surely die:

Nebuchadnezzar spake

And the earth was without - -form,

. . . and Abednego,

do not ye serve my gods,

nor worship the golden image which I have set up?

Now if ye be ready that at what time - ye hear the sound of the cornet,

and all kinds of music,

That -- at what time

ye hear the sound of the cornet, . . .

And the rib,

made he a woman,

an-d brought her un-to the man.

And the serpent said un-to the wo-man,

And in the eighth day the flesh of his fore-s-kin shall be circumcised.

And Satan answered the Lord,

and said, Skin - - for skin,

yea, -all that a man hath will he give for his life.

. . .and Abednego,

answered and said to the king,

O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee - in this matter.

But put forth thine hand now,

If it be so,  . . .

neither shall ye touch it,

. . . and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

our God whom we serve is able - - to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace,

and he will deliver us out of thine hand,

Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury,

and the form of his visage was changed - against -Shadrach, Meshach,

and Abednego: . . .

And Lamech said un-to his wives,

Adah

and Zillah,

Hear my voice;

ye wives of Lamech,

hearken un-to - my - speech:

for I have slain a man to my wounding,

and a young man to my hurt. . . .

Is it true,

O Shadrach,

Meshach,

. . . and Abednego,

If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold,

truly Lamech seventy -and sevenfold.

therefore he spake,

and commanded that -they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.

And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind

Shadrach,

Meshach,

and Abednego, . . .

Before I go whence - - I shall not return,

even to the land of darkness -- and the shadow of death;

A land of darkness,

as darkness it-self;

and of the shadow of death,

without any order,

and where the light is as darkness.

There-fore shall a man leave his father -and his mother,

and shall cleave un-to his wife:

and they shall be one flesh.

And it came to pass,

that,

when the sun went down, . . .

and it was dark,

behold a smoking furnace,

and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

And they were both naked,

t-he man - - and h-is wife,

and were not ashamed.

. . . and to cast them in-to the burning fiery furnace.

Then these men were bound in their coats,

their hosen,

and their hats,

and their other garments,

and were cast in-to the mid-st of the burning fiery furnace.

Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent,

and the furnace exceeding hot,

t-he flame of t-he fire - - slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach,

and Abednego.

Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place;

Eliphaz t-he Temanite,

and Bildad t-he Shuhite,

and Zophar t-he Naamathite:

for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with h-im

and to comfort - - h-im.

And when they lifted up their eyes afar off,

and knew h-im not,

they lifted up t-heir voice,

Un-to the woman he said,

I will greatly multiply thy sorrow

and thy conception;

and wept; 

and they  - rent every one his mantle,

and sprinkled dust up-on their heads to-ward heaven.

So they sat down with him up-on the ground - seven days

and seven nights,

and none spake a word unto him:

for they saw that his grief was very great.

Save only that which the young men have eaten,

and the portion of the men which went with me,

Aner,

Eshcol,

and Mamre;

let them take their portion.

And these three men,

Shadrach,

Meshach,

and Abednego,

fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied,

and rose up in haste,

and spake,

and said un-to his counsellors,

We are all one man's sons;

we are - true men,

If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison:

Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?

They answered - and said un-to the king,

True,

O king.

He answered -and said,

Lo,

I see four men loose,

walking in the midst of the fire,

and they have no hurt;

and t-he form of the fourth is like the - Son of God.

Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to t-he mouth of t-he burning fiery furnace,

and spake,

and said,

Shadrach,

Meshach,

and Abednego,

ye servants of the most high God,

come forth,

and come hither.

Then Shadrach,

Meshach,

and Abednego,

came forth of the midst of the fire.

And t-he princes,

governors,

and captains,

and the king's counsellors,

being gathered together,

saw these men,

upon whose bodies the fire had no power,

nor was -an hair of their head singed,

neither were their coats changed,

And he came near,

and kissed him:

and he smelled the smell of his raiment,

and blessed him,

and said,

See,

the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed:

. . . nor the smell of fire had passed on them.

Then Nebuchadnezzar spake,

and said,

Blessed be the God of Shadrach,

Meshach,

and Abednego,

who hath sent his angel,

and delivered his servants that trusted in him,

and have changed the king's word,

and yielded their bodies,

that they might not serve nor worship any god,

except their own God.

There-fore I make a decree,

That every people,

nation,

and language,

which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,

shall be cut in pieces,

and their houses shall be made a dunghill:

because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.

Samuel
