Forever mother of all living

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

Behold, this dreamer cometh, VI

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed,

*

  For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

**

and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth:

and it was so.

And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.

And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?

**

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

***

And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there

was no water in it.

***

He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters,

and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.

God brought him forth out of Egypt;

he hath as it were the strength of an uni-corn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones,

and pierce them through with

his arrows.

He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.

***  

My skin is black upon me,

and my bones are burned with heat. My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep. when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the

altar to minister in the holy place;

that they bear not inequity, and die:

it shall be a statute for ever unto him

ISamuelyea

Behold, this dreamer cometh. IV

And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
