Her

 


Who raised

up

the

righteous man from the east,

called him to his foot,

gave the nations before

him,

and

made

him

rule over kings?

 

he

gave them as the dust to his sword,

and as driven stubble to his bow.

 

He pursued them,

and passed safely;

 

even

by the way

that

he

had not gone

with

his feet.

 

 

*

And

She again

bare

his brother

 

And Abel was a keeper of sheep,

 

*

And every

plant

of

the field before

it

was in the earth,

and

every

herb

of

the field

before it grew:

 

for

the

Lord God

 

had not caused

it to rain

upon the earth,

 

and there

was

not a man

to

till the ground.

 

*

And the

woman

said unto the serpent,

 

We

may eat

of

the fruit of the trees

of

the garden:

 

But of the fruit

of

the tree

which is in

the midst

of

the garden,

 

Yea God

hath said,

Ye

shall not eat

of

it,

neither shall ye touch it,

lest ye die.

*

And when the workman saw that the tree was good for food,

and that

it

was pleasant to the eyes,

and a tree to be desired to make

one wise,

she

took of the fruit thereof,

and did eat,

 

and

gave

also unto

 

her husband

with her;

 

and he did eat.

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked;

*

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,

and shall cleave unto his wife:

and they shall be one flesh.

 

**

and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

*

Look unto Abraham

your father,

and

unto Sarah that bare you:

for

I

called him alone,

and blessed him,

and increased him.

For

the Lord

shall comfort Zion:

 

he

will comfort

all her

waste places;

and he

will make

her

wilderness like Eden,

 

and

her desert

like the garden of the Lord;

joy and gladness shall be found therein,

thanksgiving,

and the voice

of melody.

 

Hearken unto

me,

my

people;

and give ear unto me,

O my nation:

for a law shall proceed from me, and

I

will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

 

My righteousness is near;

my salvation is gone forth,

and mine arms shall judge the people;

the

isles shall

wait upon me,

and

on

mine arm shall they trust.

*

But he said unto

her,

Thou

speakest as

one

of

the foolish workmen speaketh.

 

What?

shall

we

receive good at the hand of God,

and

shall

we

not receive evil?

*

Come ye,

and let us go up to the mountain

of the Lord,

to

the

house

of the

God of Jacob;

 and

he

will teach us

of

his ways,

and

we

will walk in his paths:

 

for out of Zion shall

go forth the law,

and

the word of the Lord

from Jerusalem.

Him III

 


Thou

prevailest for ever against him,

and he passeth:

thou

changest

his

countenance,

and

sendest

him away.

 

 

His

sons come to honour,

and he

knoweth it not;

 

and they are brought low,

 

but he

perceiveth it not of them.

 

But his

flesh upon him shall have pain,

and his soul

 

within him

 

shall mourn.

 

**

 

 

in

the

land of Shinar.

********

 

 

 

Mark

the

perfect man,

and

behold the upright:

 

for

the end of that man

is peace.

 

 

But the transgressors shall be destroyed together:

the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

 

But the salvation

*

And the Lord

Lamech

said

unto Noah,

Come thou

 

and

all thy house

into

 the ark;

for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

 

*

And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin;

and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

 

*

    But put forth

thine hand now,

 

and touch

all that he hath,

and

he

will curse

thee

to

thy face.

*

 

*

. . . and said,

Skin for skin,

 

yea,

all that a man hath will

he give

for his life.

But put forth thine hand now,

and touch his bone and his flesh,

 

and he will curse thee to thy face.

 

And the Lord

said

unto Satan,

Behold,

 

 

*

and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

 

*

h e

is in

thine hand;

 

but save

his life.

 

 

*

And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

 

And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food;

the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

*

He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places,

to weep:

Moab shall howl over Nebo,

and over Medeba:

on all their heads shall be baldness,

and every beard cut off.

In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth:

 

on the tops of their houses,

 and in their streets,

every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.

 

And Heshbon shall cry,

and Elealeh:

their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz:

therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out;

his life shall be grievous unto him.

My heart shall cry out for Moab;

his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar,

an heifer of three years old:

*

For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate:

for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth,

there is no green thing.

 

Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.
