He makes the storm into a calm, so that the waves are at peace.

He makes rivers into waste places, and springs of water into a dry land;

He makes a fertile country into a salt waste, because of the sins of those who are living there.

He makes a waste land into a place of water, and a dry land into water-springs.

He put on cursing like a robe, and it has come into his body like water, and into his bones like oil.

Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.

You have put your orders into our hearts, so that we might keep them with care.

I gave thought to my steps, and my feet were turned into the way of your unchanging word.

I have done what is good and right: you will not give me into the hands of those who are working against me.

Take your servant's interests into your keeping; let me not be crushed by the men of pride.

I was glad because they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord.

Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being.

Let burning flames come down on them: let them be put into the fire, and into deep waters, so that they may not get up again.

For wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasing to your soul;

Do this, my son, and make yourself free, because you have come into the power of your neighbour; go without waiting, and make a strong request to your neighbour.

Like a bird falling into a net; with no thought that his life is in danger, till an arrow goes into his side.

Where the roads go into the town her cry goes out, at the doorways her voice is loud:

Will not the designers of evil come into error? But mercy and good faith are for the designers of good.

All a man's ways are clean to himself; but the Lord puts men's spirits into his scales.

Put your works into the hands of the Lord, and your purposes will be made certain.

A violent man puts desire of evil into his neighbour's mind, and makes him go in a way which is not good.

A word of protest goes deeper into one who has sense than a hundred blows into a foolish man.

The words of one who says evil of his neighbour secretly are like sweet food, and go down into the inner parts of the stomach.

The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the upright man running into it is safe.

The hater of work puts his hand deep into the basin, and will not even take it to his mouth again.

Wine makes men foolish, and strong drink makes men come to blows; and whoever comes into error through these is not wise.

Every purpose is put into effect by wise help: and by wise guiding make war.

A wise man goes up into the town of the strong ones, and overcomes its strength in which they put their faith.

The sharp man sees the evil and takes cover: the simple go straight on and get into trouble.

The man of wealth has rule over the poor, and he who gets into debt is a servant to his creditor.

The mouth of strange women is a deep hole: he with whom the Lord is angry will go down into it.

Do not let the landmark of the widow be moved, and do not go into the fields of those who have no father;

He whose spirit is uncontrolled is like an unwalled town which has been broken into.

Like a thorn which goes up into the hand of a man overcome by drink, so is a wise saying in the mouth of a foolish man.

The hater of work puts his hand deep into the basin: lifting it again to his mouth is a weariness to him.

The words of one who says evil of his neighbour secretly are like sweet food, they go down into the inner parts of the stomach.

He who makes a hole in the earth will himself go falling into it: and on him by whom a stone is rolled the stone will come back again.

Do not give up your friend and your father's friend; and do not go into your brother's house in the day of your trouble: better is a neighbour who is near than a brother far off.

The sharp man sees the evil and takes cover: the simple go straight on and get into trouble.

Anyone causing the upright to go wandering in an evil way, will himself go down into the hole he has made; but the upright will have good things for their heritage.

Happy is the man in whom is the fear of the Lord at all times; but he whose heart is hard will come into trouble.

Do not say evil of a servant to his master, or he will put a curse on you, and you will get into trouble.

When you take an oath before God, put it quickly into effect, because he has no pleasure in the foolish; keep the oath you have taken.

He who makes a hole for others will himself go into it, and for him who makes a hole through a wall the bite of a snake will be a punishment.

When no work is done the roof goes in, and when the hands do nothing water comes into the house.

In the morning put your seed into the earth, and till the evening let not your hand be at rest; because you are not certain which will do well, this or that--or if the two will be equally good.

Take me to you, and we will go after you: the king has taken me into his house. We will be glad and full of joy in you, we will give more thought to your love than to wine: rightly are they your lovers.

I was but a little way from them, when I came face to face with him who is the love of my soul. I took him by the hands, and did not let him go, till I had taken him into my mother's house, and into the room of her who gave me birth.

Be awake, O north wind; and come, O south, blowing on my garden, so that its spices may come out. Let my loved one come into his garden, and take of his good fruits.

I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; to take my myrrh with my spice; my wax with my honey; my wine with my milk. Take meat, O friends; take wine, yes, be overcome with love.

My loved one is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to take food in the gardens, and to get lilies.

I went down into the garden of nuts to see the green plants of the valley, and to see if the vine was in bud, and the pomegranate-trees were in flower.

Come, my loved one, let us go out into the field; let us take rest among the cypress-trees.

I would take you by the hand into my mother's house, and she would be my teacher. I would give you drink of spiced wine, drink of the pomegranate.

And he will be the judge between the nations, and the peoples will be ruled by his decisions: and their swords will be turned into plough-blades, and their spears into vine-knives: no longer will the nations be turning their swords against one another, and the knowledge of war will be gone for ever.

Go into a hole in the rock, covering yourselves with dust, in fear of the Lord, before the glory of his power.

And men will go into cracks of the rocks, and into holes of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and before the glory of his power, when he comes out of his place, shaking the earth with his strength.

Cursed are those who get up early in the morning to give themselves up to strong drink; who keep on drinking far into the night till they are heated with wine!

For this cause my people are taken away as prisoners into strange countries for need of knowledge: and their rulers are wasted for need of food, and their loud-voiced feasters are dry for need of water.

For this cause the underworld has made wide its throat, opening its mouth without limit: and her glory, and the noise of her masses, and her loud-voiced feasters, will go down into it.

Let us go up against Judah, troubling her, and forcing our way into her, and let us put up a king in her, even the son of Tabeel:

And it will come on into Judah; rushing on and overflowing, till the waters are up to the neck; *** and his outstretched wings will be covering the land from side to side: for God is with us.

And the Lord will make the tongue of the Egyptian sea completely dry; and with his burning wind his hand will be stretched out over the River, and it will be parted into seven streams, so that men may go over it with dry feet.

Put up a flag on a clear mountain-top, make a loud outcry to them, give directions with the hand, so that they may go into the doors of the great ones.

All the earth is at rest and is quiet: they are bursting into song.

Your pride has gone down into the underworld, and the noise of your instruments of music; the worms are under you, and your body is covered with them.

And I will give the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a hard king will be their ruler, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.

The fishermen will be sad, and all those who put fishing-lines into the Nile will be full of grief, and those whose nets are stretched out on the waters will have sorrow in their hearts.

In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt will come into Assyria; and the Egyptians will give worship to the Lord together with the Assyrians.

My mind is wandering, fear has overcome me: the evening of my desire has been turned into shaking for me.

Twisting you round and round like a ball he will send you out into a wide country: there you will come to your end, and there will be the carriages of your pride, O shame of your lord's house!

And I will put your robe on him, and put your band about him, and I will give your authority into his hand: and he will be a father to the men of Jerusalem, and to the family of Judah.

And I will give the key of the family of David into his care; and what he keeps open will be shut by no one, and what he keeps shut no one will make open.

Is this the town which was full of joy, whose start goes back to times long past, whose wanderings took her into far-off countries?

We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have given birth to wind; no salvation has come to the earth through us, and no children have come into the world.

Come, my people, into your secret places, and let your doors be shut: keep yourself safe for a short time, till his wrath is over.

And it will be in that day that a great horn will be sounded; and those who were wandering in the land of Assyria, and those who had been sent away into the land of Egypt, will come; and they will give worship to the Lord in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

Who make a move to go down into Egypt, without authority from me; who are looking to the strength of Pharaoh for help, and whose hope is in the shade of Egypt.

Till the spirit comes on us from on high, and the waste land becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field is changed into a wood.

And its streams will be turned into boiling oil, and its dust into burning stone, and all the land will be on fire.

See, you are basing your hope on that broken rod of Egypt, which will go into a man's hand if he makes use of it for a support; for so is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all who put their faith in him.

And do not let Hezekiah make you put your faith in the Lord, saying, The Lord will certainly keep us safe, and this town will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria.

Give no attention to Hezekiah when he says to you, The Lord will keep us safe. Has any one of the gods of the nations kept his land from falling into the hands of the king of Assyria?

Who among all the gods of these countries have kept their country from falling into my hand, to give cause for the thought that the Lord will keep Jerusalem from falling into my hand?

And on hearing it Hezekiah took off his robe and put on haircloth and went into the house of the Lord.

See, I will put a spirit into him, and bad news will come to his ears, and he will go back to his land; and there I will have him put to death.

This is what you are to say to Hezekiah, king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom is your faith, give you a false hope, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria.

You have sent your servants with evil words against the Lord, and have said, With all my war-carriages I have come up to the top of the mountains, to the inmost parts of Lebanon; and its tall cedars will be cut down, and the best trees of its woods: I will come up into his highest places, into his thick woods.

Has it not come to your ears how I did it long before, purposing it in times long past? Now I have given effect to my design, so that by you strong towns might be turned into masses of broken walls.

For this cause the Lord says about the king of Assyria, He will not come into this town, or send an arrow against it; he will not come before it with arms, or put up an earthwork against it.

By the way he came he will go back, and he will not get into this town.

And it came about, when he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to death with the sword, and they went in flight into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon, his son, became king in his place.

I said, In the quiet of my days I am going down into the underworld: the rest of my years are being taken away from me.

For the underworld is not able to give you praise, death gives you no honour: for those who go down into the underworld there is no hope in your mercy.

You who give good news to Zion, get up into the high mountain; you who give good news to Jerusalem, let your voice be strong; let it be sounding without fear; say to the towns of Judah, See, your God!

In the hollow of whose hand have the waters been measured? and who is able to take the heavens in his stretched-out fingers? who has got together the dust of the earth in a measure? who has taken the weight of the mountains, or put the hills into the scales?

They have only now been planted, and their seed put into the earth, and they have only now taken root, when he sends out his breath over them and they become dry, and the storm-wind takes them away like dry grass.

Who sent out from the east one who is right wherever he goes? he gives the nations into his hands, and makes him ruler over kings; he gives them as the dust to his sword, as dry stems before the wind to his bow.

So the metal-worker put heart into the gold-worker, and he who was hammering the metal smooth said kind words to the iron-worker, saying of the plate, It is ready: and he put it together with nails, so that there might be no slipping.

And the rest of it he makes into a god, even his pictured image: he goes down on his face before it, giving worship to it, and making prayer to it, saying, Be my saviour; for you are my god.
