And the king of Israel responded and said: Tell him, - Let not, him that girdeth, boast himself like him, that looseneth.

Boast yourselves in his holy name, Joyful be the heart of them who are seeking Yahweh.

As for them who are trusting in their wealth, - And, in the abundance of their riches, do boast themselves,

Why dost thou boast thyself of wickedness, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of GOD, lasteth all the day.

I have said to the boasters, Do not boast, And to the lawless, Do not lift up a horn;

The days of our years, have, in them, three score years and ten, And, if, by reason of strength, they have fourscore years, Yet, their boast, is labour and sorrow, For it hath passed quickly, and we have flown away.

They pour forth words , they speak arrogantly, All the workers of iniquity, do boast:

Let all who serve an image, be ashamed, They who boast themselves in things of nought, Bow down unto him, all ye gods.

Make your boast in his holy Name, Joyful be the heart of them who are seeking Yahweh.

Do not boast thyself of to-morrow, for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

And, thereupon, I considered the lawless when buried, when they had entered, their graves , that, from the place of the Holy One, they used to go and boast in the city that they had so done, - even this, was vanity.

Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? Or, the saw, magnify itself, against him that wieldeth it? As if a rod, could wield, them who lift it up! As if a staff, could raise, what is, not wood!

Thus shall they be confounded and turn pale, - For Ethiopia, their expectation, and For Egypt their boast;

Thou shalt fan them and, a wind, shall carry them away, And, a whirlwind, scatter, them, - But, thou, shalt exult in Yahweh, And, in the Holy One of Israel, shalt thou boast thyself.

In Yahweh, shall be justified and shall boast themselves - All the seed of Israel.

But, ye, the priests of Yahweh, shall be called, The attendants of our God, shall ye be named, - The riches of the nations, shall ye eat, And in their glory, shall ye boast yourselves.

For, Yahweh, is spoiling Babylon, And will destroy out of her the loud voice, - Though their waves have roared like many waters, Been uttered the loud boast of their voice.
