Say to the children of Israel: These are the offerings of anyone who does wrong through error, doing any of the things which by the Lord's order are not to be done:

If a ruler does wrong, and in error does any of the things which, by the order of the Lord his God, are not to be done, causing sin to come on him;

And if any one of the common people does wrong in error, doing any of the things which the Lord has given orders are not to be done, causing sin to come on him;

And if anyone does wrong by saying nothing when he is put under oath as a witness of something he has seen or had knowledge of, then he will be responsible:

And if anyone does wrong, and does any of the things which the Lord has given orders are not to be done, though he has no knowledge of it, still he is in the wrong and he is responsible.

When a prophet makes a statement in the name of the Lord, if what he says does not take place and his words do not come true, then his word is not the word of the Lord: the words of the prophet were said in the pride of his heart, and you are to have no fear of him.

If a man does a crime for which the punishment is death, and he is put to death by hanging him on a tree;

And Joab said to the king, Whatever the number of the people, may the Lord make it a hundred times as much, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king take pleasure in doing this thing?

Why does he give light to him who is in trouble, and life to the bitter in soul;

For evil does not come out of the dust, or trouble out of the earth;

Who does great things outside our knowledge, wonders without number:

Does the ass of the fields give out his voice when he has grass? or does the ox make sounds over his food?

Does God give wrong decisions? or is the Ruler of all not upright in his judging?

Who gives orders to the sun, and it does not give its light; and who keeps the stars from shining.

Who does great things not to be searched out; yes, wonders without number.

Who does not see by all these that the hand of the Lord has done this?

He goes to rest full of wealth, but does so for the last time: on opening his eyes, he sees it there no longer.

From where then does wisdom come, and where is the resting-place of knowledge?

Does he not see my ways, and are not my steps all numbered?

Truly, God does all these things to man, twice and three times,

Truly, God does not do evil, and the Ruler of all is not a false judge.

For he does not give man a fixed time to come before him to be judged.

Does it seem to you to be right, and righteousness before God, to say,

If you are upright, what do you give to him? or what does he take from your hand?

After it a voice is sounding, thundering out the word of his power; he does not keep back his thunder-flames; from his mouth his voice is sounding.

He does wonders, more than may be searched out; great things of which we have no knowledge;
