What man
For
she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field
to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master:
there-fore she took a veil,
and covered
herself
***
And
she put her widow's
garments off
- from her, and covered her with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open
place, which is by the way
to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
***
The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the
roof of his mouth - for thirst: the young
children
ask
bread, and no man breaketh it unto them.
They
that did feed delicately
are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet
embrace dunghills.
For the punishment of the iniquity
of the daughter of my people is
greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom,
that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed - on her.
Her
Nazarites were purer
than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were
- more ruddy in body
than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:
Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.
They
that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.
***
And
Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law,
his son Abram's wife;
and they went
forth - with them from Ur of the
Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
***
Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and
clothed them.
***
And
Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
***
And
Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
***
And
they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This
have we found:
know
now whether
it be thy son's coat or no.
And
he knew it, and said, It
is
my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is - without
doubt rent
in pieces.
And
Jacob rent
his clothes,
and put sackcloth upon his
loins, and mourned for - his son many days.

Or what man is there
of you,
whom if . . .

The east wind carrieth
him away,
and he departeth:
and as a storm hurleth him out
of his place. For God
shall cast upon him, and not spare: he
would fain flee out of his hand. Men
shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
Surely
there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it. Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
He
setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones
of darkness, and the shadow of death. The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up,
they are gone away from men.
As
for
the earth, out of it
cometh
bread:
and under it is turned up as it were fire. The stones of it are
the place
of sapphires: and it
hath dust of gold.
There is a path which no fowl knoweth,
and which the vulture's eye hath not seen: The lions whelps have not
trodden it,
nor the fierce lion passed by it. He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his
eye seeth
every precious thing.
He
bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing
that is hid bringeth he forth to light. But
where
shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
***
his son ask bread, will he give him
a stone?
