because they met not the sons of Israel, with bread and with water, - but hired against them Balaam, to curse them, although our God turned the curse into a blessing.

and I made treasurers over the treasuries - Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah from among the Levites, and, next unto them, Hanan son of Zaccur, son of Mattaniah, - for faithful were they accounted, and it was laid upon them to distribute unto their brethren.

And, men of Tyre, dwelt therein, who were bringing in fish - and every kind of ware for sale, - and were selling, on the sabbath, to the sons of Judah, and in Jerusalem;

So I contended with them, and laid a curse upon them, and I smote, from among them, certain men, and pulled out their hair, - and I put them on oath by God, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take of their daughters, for your sons nor for yourselves.

And, one of the sons of Joiada, son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite, - therefore I chased him from me.

A certain Jew, there was, in Shusan the palace, - whose, name, was Mordecai, son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a man of Benjamin;

After these things, did King Ahasuerus promote to power Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and exalted him, - and placed his seat above all the rulers who were with him.

So then the king took his signet-ring from off his hand, and gave it unto Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the adversary of the Jews;

and said - If, unto the king, it seem good, and if I have found favour before him, and the thing be approved before the king, and, I myself, be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written, to reverse the letters plotted by Haman, son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy thee Jews, who are in all the provinces of the king.

the ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the adversary of the Jews, slew they, - but, on the spoil, thrust they not forth their hand.

Then said the king unto Esther the queen, In Shusan the palace, have the Jews slain and caused to perish five hundred men, and the ten sons of Haman, - in the rest of the provinces of the king, what have they done? What, then, is thy petition, that it may be granted thee? and what is thy request further, that it may he performed?

Then said Esther, If, unto the king, it seem good, let it be granted, to-morrow also, unto the Jews who are in Shusan, to do according to the edict of to-day, - and that, the ten sons of Haman, be hanged upon the gallows.

And the king commanded it to be done so, and there was given an edict, in Shusan, - and, the ten sons of Haman, they hanged.

because, Haman, son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the adversary of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews, to cause them to perish, - and had cast Pur, the same, is the Lot, to terrify them, and to destroy them;

but, by Esther's going in before the king, he commanded by letter, that his wicked plot which he had plotted against the Jews, should return, upon his own head, - and that he and his sons should be hanged upon the gallows.

And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.

And his substance was - seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a body of servants exceeding large, - thus was that man the greatest of all the sons of the East.

Now his sons were wont to go, and make a banquet, at the house of each one upon his day, - and to send and call their three sisters, to eat and to drink with them.

And so it was, when the days of the banquet came round, that Job sent and hallowed them, and rising early in the morning offered ascending-sacrifices according to the number of them all; for Job said, Peradventure my sons have sinned, and have cursed God in their hearts. Thus and thus, was Job wont to do all the days.

Now there came a certain day, when the sons of God entered in to present themselves unto Yahweh, - so the accuser also entered, in their midst.

And there came a certain day, - when his sons and his daughters were eating, and drinking wine, in the house of their eldest brother.

Yet was this one speaking, when, another, came in and said, - Thy sons and thy daughters, were eating, and drinking wine, in the house of their eldest brother;

And there came a certain day when the sons of God entered in, to present themselves unto Yahweh - so the accuser also entered in their midst, to present himself unto Yahweh.

Yet, man, dieth, and is prostrate, Yea the son of earth doth cease to breathe, and where is he?

His sons, come to honour, and he knoweth it not, Or they are brought low, and he perceiveth it not of them.

That one might plead, for a man, with GOD, - Even a son of man, for his friend!

My breath, is strange to my wife, and I am loathsome to the sons of my own mother;

Sons of the base, yea sons of the nameless, they were scourged out of the land.

But, now, their song, have I become, Yea I serve them for a byword;

Then was kindled the anger of Elihu, son of Barachel the Buzite of the family of Ram, - against Job, was kindled his anger, because he justified his own soul rather than God;

So then Elihu, son of Barachel, the Buzite, responded and said: - Young, am I, whereas, ye, are aged, For this cause, I faltered, and feared - to shew my knowledge unto you:

Let me be partial to no man, and, unto no son of earth, give flattering titles,

To turn a son of earth from his deed, while yet, pride, from man he concealeth:

If there hath been near him a messenger who could interpret - one of a thousand, to declare to the son of earth His uprightness,

For, what any son of earth doeth, he repayeth him, and, according to every man's course, he causeth him to find.

Unto a man like thyself, might thy lawlessness reach , and, unto a son of the earth-born, thy righteousness.

Every son of earth, hath viewed it, Mortal man, looketh at it from afar.

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

To give rain over the no-man's land, the desert, where no son of earth is;

And he came to have seven sons, and three daughters;

And Job lived, after this, a hundred and forty years, - and saw his sons and his sons' sons, four generations.

Let me tell of a decree, - Yahweh, hath said unto me, My son, thou art, I, to-day, have begotten thee:

Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish by the way, for soon might be kindled his anger, - How happy are all who seek refuge in him!

Ye sons of the great! how long, turning my glory to contempt, will ye love emptiness, will ye seek falsehood? Selah.

I will praise Yahweh according to his righteousness, - and will praise in song the Name of Yahweh Most High.

What was weak man, that thou shouldst make mention of him? or the son of the earthborn, that thou shouldst set him in charge?

I will rejoice and exult in thee, I will praise in song, thy Name, O most High.

Yahweh, is in his holy temple As for Yahweh, in the heavens, is his throne, His eyes, behold - His eyelashes test the sons of men.

O save Yahweh, for the man of lovingkindness, is no more, for the faithful, have vanished, from among the sons of men.

On every side, the lawless, march about, - when worthlessness is exalted by the sons of men.

Yahweh, out of the heavens, looked down over the sons of men, - to see whether there was one that showed wisdom, enquiring after God: -

From men who are thy hand, O Yahweh, From the men of this age, whose portion, is among the living, and, with thy treasure, thou fillest their bosom, - They must be satisfied with sons, And must leave their abundance to their children: -

The sons of the foreigner, lost heart, and came quaking out of their fortresses.

Give to Yahweh, ye sons of the mighty, - Give to Yahweh, both glory and strength:

How great is thy goodness, which thou hast hidden away for them who revere thee, - Thou hast wrought for them who seek refuge in thee, in sight of the sons of men.

How happy the son of earth, to whom Yahweh will not reckon iniquity! and in whose spirit is no guile!

Sing unto him, a song that is new, With skill, sweep the strings, with loud noise.

Out of the heavens, hath Yahweh looked, He hath seen all the sons of men:

How precious thy lovingkindness, O God, - Therefore, the sons of men, under the shadow of thy wings, seek refuge:

Then put he, into my mouth, a new song, Praise to our God, - Many shall see and revere, And shall trust in Yahweh.

By day, will Yahweh command his lovingkindness, And, in the night, shall His song be with me, My prayer be to the GOD of my life.

Most beautiful thou art, beyond the sons of men, Graciousness hath been poured forth by thy lips, For this cause, hath God blessed thee, to times age-abiding.

Instead of thy fathers, be thy sons, Thou shalt make them rulers in all the earth.

Both sons of the low, And sons of the high, - Together both rich and needy: -

But, a son of earth, though wealthy, cannot tarry, He hath made himself a by-word - Beasts, they resemble:

A son of earth though wealthy, who discerneth not, Hath made himself a by-word, Beasts, they resemble.

God, out of the heavens, looked down upon the sons of men, - To see whether there was one that showed wisdom, Enquiring after God.

In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can a son of earth do unto me!

My soul, is in the midst of lions, I lie down amidst flames, As for the sons of men, Their teeth, are spear and arrows, And, their tongue, is a sharp sword.

I will thank thee, among the peoples, O My Lord, I will praise thee in song, among the races of men.

Are ye, indeed, silent when righteousness, ye should speak? When, with equity, ye should judge, O ye sons of men?

So that a son of earth may say - Surely there is fruit for the righteous man! Surely there are gods who judge in the earth!

Praise ye in song the glory of his Name, Celebrate the glory of his praise:

All the earth, shall bow themselves down to thee, And sing praises unto thee,. Shall praise in song thy Name. Selah.

Come and see the doings of God, - Fearful in deed toward the sons of men:

Ye kingdoms of the earth, sing unto God, Praise in song Adonay. Selah.

One estranged, have I become, to my own brethren, Yea, an alien, to the sons of my own mother;

I will praise the Name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving;

O God! thy justice, give, unto the king, And thy righteousness, unto the son of a king;

Ended are the prayers of David, son of Jesse.

Of the toil of weak mortals, have they none, Nor, with the sons of earth, are they hard smitten.

If I had thought, I will relate it thus, Lo! the circle of thy sons, had I betrayed.

I remember my song in the night, - With my own heart, I commune, And my spirit, maketh search: -

The sons of Ephraim - armed bowmen, Turned in the day of battle;

His young men, were devoured by fire, And, his virgins, were not praised in song;

Yea the stock which thy right hand planted, Even upon the son thou didst secure for thyself.

Let thy hand be, Upon the Man of thy right hand, Upon the Son of Man thou didst secure for thyself;

I, said, Gods, ye are, Yea, sons of the Highest, are ye all;

Even Assyria hath joined herself with them, They have become an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah.

Turn thou unto me, and show me favour, - Give thy strength to thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid.
