Come

Come and see the doings of God, - Fearful in deed toward the sons of men:

For thou hat made me glad, O Yahweh, in thy doing, In the works of thy hands, will I shout for joy.

Great are the works of Yahweh, sought out, by all who find pleasure therein.

Surely, there is no enchantment against Jacob, Nor divination against Israel, - Now, shall it be said - Of Jacob and of Israel, What hath GOD wrought!

Desolations

Then said the servants of Pharaoh unto him, How long shall this man become to us a snare? Let the men go, that they may serve Yahweh their God. Not yet, knowest thou, that Egypt is, ruined?

Then rose up Pharaoh by night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians, and there arose a great outcry throughout Egypt, - for there was not a house, where there was not one dead.

Thus did Yahweh, on that day, save Israel, out of the hand of the Egyptians, - and Israel saw the Egyptians, dead on the shore of the sea.

For, from Yahweh, came it to pass, that their heart was emboldened to come out to war with Israel, that he might devote them to destruction, that they might find no favour, - but that he might destroy them, - as Yahweh commanded Moses.

Then rose up the sons of Ammon and Moab against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, to devote and to destroy, - and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to cut off, every man his neighbour.

Lo! Yahweh emptying the earth and laying it waste, - And he will overturn the face thereof, And scatter them who dwell therein.

That Yahweh hath wrath against all the nations, and indignation against all their host, - He hath devoted them to destruction He hath delivered them to slaughter;
