The eyes

If I withheld - from pleasure - the poor, or, the eyes of the widow, I dimmed;

I also, will do this unto you - I will set over you, for terror, consumption and fever, Causing the eyes to fail and the soul to pine away, - And ye shall sow, in vain, your seed, for it shall be eaten by your foes.

And among those nations, shalt thou find no ease, neither shall there be a place of rest for the sole of thy foot, - but Yahweh will give unto thee there a trembling heart, and a failing of eyes and faintness of soul.

I am weary with mine outcry, Parched is my throat, - Mine eyes have become dim, through waiting for my God.

Silly shall our eyes fail, for our help that is vain: In our watchtower, have we watched - for a nation that will not save.

They shall not escape

Therefore shall flight, perish, from the swift, and, the mighty, shall not invigorate his strength, - nor shall, the hero, escape with his life;

As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, and there should meet him - a bear! or he should have entered the house, and leaned his hand upon the wall, and there should bite him - a serpent!

I saw My Lord stationed by the altar, and he said - Smite the capital - that the sills, may tremble, Yea break them off on the head of them all, and, the last of them, with the sword, will I slay, - He that fleeth of them, shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them, shall not make good his escape.

how shall, we, escape, if, so great a salvation as this, we have neglected, - which, indeed, having received, a beginning, of being spoken through the Lord, by them who heard, unto us was confirmed,

Their hope

So, shall be the latter end of all who forget GOD, and, the hope of the impious, shall perish:

Uprooted, out of his tent, be his confidence, and let it drive him down to the king of terrors;

For what shall be the hope of the impious, though he graspeth with greed, when GOD shall draw forth his soul?

The dread of the lawless one, the same, shall overtake him, but, the desire of the righteous, shall he granted.

Whoso revileth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in deep darkness.

And, in hades, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
