Upon thy walls O Jerusalem, have I appointed watchmen, All the day and all the night through, let them not hold their peace, - O ye that put Yahweh in mind, Do not take rest to yourselves,

As I live, - Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely because my flock became a prey. And my flock became food for every wild beast of the field, through having no shepherd, Neither did my shepherds inquire after the flock, - But the shepherds tended themselves. And my flock, they tended not

For lo! I am raising up a shepherd in the land, the disappearing, will he not visit, the straying, will he not seek, and, the fractured, will he not bind up, - the weak, will he not nourish, but, the flesh of the fat, will he eat, and, their hoofs, will he break in pieces.

Be watching, therefore, for ye know not, on what manner of day, your Lord is coming.

Be watching, therefore, because ye know, neither the day nor the hour.

Be taking heed, be watching, for ye know not, when, the season is: -

Be taking heed unto yourselves, and unto all the little flock in which the Holy Spirit hath set, you, as overseers, - to be shepherding the assembly of God which he hath acquired through means of the blood of his own.

I adjure thee before God, and Christ Jesus - Who is about to be judging living and dead, - both as to his forthshining and his kingdom,

But, the end of all things, hath drawn near: - be of sound mind, therefore, and be sober for prayers;

Be sober! be watchful! Your slanderous adversary, as a roaring lion, is walking about - seeking to devour:

Strengthen

Nevertheless, I have against thee, that, thy first love, thou hast left.

But command thou Joshua and confirm him and embolden him, - for, he, shall pass over before this people, and, he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.

Him that was stumbling, have thy words raised up, and, sinking knees, hast thou strengthened.

I could make you determined, by my mouth, and then my lip-solace should restrain you.

Strengthen ye the weak hands, - The trembling knees, make ye firm:

Simon! Simon! lo! Satan, hath claimed you, to sift as wheat;

and, spending some time, he went forth, passing through, in order, the country of Galatia and Phrygia, confirming all the disciples.

Thy works

Yea it came to pass, in the old age of Solomon, that, his wives, turned aside his heart after other gods, - his heart therefore was not sound with Yahweh his God, as was the heart of David his father.

And he walked in all the sins of his father which he had done before him, - and his heart was not blameless with Yahweh his God, like the heart of David his father.

And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, - only not with a whole heart.

I, will expose thy righteousness, - And thy works - but they will not profit thee!

T'kel, - thou art weighed in the balances, and found wanting;

When, therefore, thou mayest be doing an alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, just as, the hypocrites, do in the synagogues and in the streets - that they may be glorified by men, - Verily, I say unto you, they are getting back their reward.

But, all their works, they do, to be gazed at, by men, - for they make broad their amulets, and make large their fringes,

Then, arose all those virgins, and trimmed their torches.

Be taking heed, be watching, for ye know not, when, the season is: -

If, however, we had been setting, ourselves, apart, we had not, in that case, been coming under judgment;
