and he shall take away its crop with the filth thereof, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes:

And these are they which are unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind,

These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.

Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all fours, or whatsoever hath many feet, even all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine, from the kernels even to the husk.

and thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and robbed alway, and there shall be none to save thee.

Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, And rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, With the finest of the wheat; And of the blood of the grape thou drankest wine.

Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,

Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,

They meet with darkness in the day-time, And grope at noonday as in the night.

They grope in the dark without light; And he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.

He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, And shall cast off his flower as the olive-tree.

Will the wild-ox be content to serve thee? Or will he abide by thy crib?

Thou makest darkness, and it is night, Wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth.

Where no oxen are, the crib is clean; But much increase is by the strength of the ox.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becometh a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and the spreading branches will he take away and cut down.

We grope for the wall like the blind; yea, we grope as they that have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among them that are lusty we are as dead men.

Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn again thy hand as a grape-gatherer into the baskets.

And the measuring line shall go out further straight onward unto the hill Gareb, and shall turn about unto Goah.

If grape-gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, would they not destroy till they had enough?

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also take of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it upon a high and lofty mountain:

so that the fishes of the sea, and the birds of the heavens, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night (how art thou cut off!), would they not steal only till they had enough? if grape-gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes?

Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat; my soul desireth the first-ripe fig.
