And he spake unto me, saying, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

Then said he, These, are the two Anointed Ones, - who stand near the Lord of all the earth.

Then said I unto the messenger who was speaking with me, - Whither are they carrying the ephah?

These, are the things which ye shall do: Speak ye the truth, every man with his neighbour, truth and the sentence of peace, pronounce ye in your gates;

And let, no man, devise, the injury of his neighbour, in your heart, and the oath of falsehood, do not love, - for, all these, are things which I hate, declareth Yahweh.

Howl, fir-tree, for fallen is the cedar, because, the majestic ones, are spoiled: howl, ye oaks of Bashan, for the inaccessible forest, hath come down.

If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my Name, saith Yahweh of hosts, then will I send among you the curse, and will curse your blessings, - and indeed I have cursed them, because ye are not at all laying it to heart.

Behold me! sending my messenger, who will prepare a way before me, - and, suddenly, shall come to his temple The Lord whom ye are seeking, even the messenger of the covenant in whom ye are delighting, Lo! he cometh! saith Yahweh of hosts.

Neither light they a lamp, and place it under the measure; but upon the lampstand, and it giveth light to all that are in the house.

But, I, say unto you, Be loving your enemies, and praying for them who are persecuting you:

For, if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? are not, even the tax-collectors, the same thing, doing?

And, if ye salute your brethren only, what, more than common, are ye doing? are not, even the nations, the same thing, doing?
