Let now our princes, while this matter is going on, stand for all the congregation, and let all those that have taken foreign wives in our cities come at the appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce anger of our God be turned from us.

And they said to me, Those who remain, that are left of the captivity there in the province, are in great affliction and reproach; and the wall of Jerusalem is in ruins, and its gates are burned with fire.

They that built on the wall, and they that bore burdens, with those that loaded, wrought in the work with one hand, and with the other they held a weapon.

And there were at my table a hundred and fifty of the Jews and the rulers, besides those that came to us from among the nations that were about us.

Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobijah, and those of Tobijah came to them.

And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, for registration by genealogy. And I found a genealogical register of those that had come up at the first, and I found written in it:

These are the children of the province that went up out of the captivity of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one to his city;

those who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

And he read in it before the open place that was before the water-gate from the morning until midday, in presence of the men and the women, and those that could understand. And the ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law.

And at the head of those that sealed were Nehemiah the Tirshatha, the son of Hachaliah, and Zedekiah.

In those days I saw in Judah some treading winepresses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading them on asses; as also wine, grapes and figs, and all manner of burdens; and they brought them into Jerusalem on the sabbath day; and I protested in the day on which they sold the victuals.

In those days also I saw Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab.

in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the fortress,

In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the threshold, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.

And Haman said to king Ahasuerus, There is a people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from those of every people, and they keep not the king's laws; and it is not for the king's profit to suffer them.

If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those that have charge of the affairs, to bring it into the king's treasuries.

And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword and slaughter and destruction, and did what they would to those that hated them.

On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the fortress was brought before the king.

Wherefore is light given to him that is in trouble, and life to those bitter of soul,

Setting up on high those that are low; and mourners are exalted to prosperity.

Can any teach God knowledge? And he it is that judgeth those that are high.

There are those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

Drought and heat consume snow waters; so doth Sheol those that have sinned.

Those that remain of him shall be buried by death, and his widows shall not weep.

Shew wondrously thy loving-kindnesses, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.

And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed.

Thy hand shall find out all thine enemies; thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol, thou hast quickened me from among those that go down to the pit.

Jehovah is nigh to those that are of a broken heart, and saveth them that are of a contrite spirit.

For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait on Jehovah, they shall possess the land.

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the afflicted and needy, to slay those that are upright in the way:

for those blessed of him shall possess the land, and they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.

Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee; let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified!

Gather unto me my godly ones, those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice!

For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given me the inheritance of those that fear thy name.

But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth;

God maketh the solitary into families; those that were bound he bringeth out into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

Let not them that wait on thee, Lord, Jehovah of hosts, be ashamed through me; let not those that seek thee be confounded through me, O God of Israel.

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten, and they talk for the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.

Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified!

Thou didst break in pieces the heads of leviathan, thou gavest him to be meat to those that people the desert.

Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: the tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.

Let the groaning of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thine arm, preserve those that are appointed to die;

Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God:

To hear the groaning of the prisoner, to loose those that are appointed to die;

To such as keep his covenant and to those that remember his precepts to do them.

And he caused them to find compassion of all those that had carried them captives.

For he standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.

Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that know thy testimonies.

Turn unto me, and be gracious unto me, as thou art wont to do unto those that love thy name.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

As for the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

For the enemy persecuteth my soul: he hath crushed my life down to the earth; he hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.

Jehovah taketh pleasure in those that fear him, in those that hope in his loving-kindness.

let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, and whole, as those that go down into the pit;

from those who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

and I have not hearkened unto the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to those that instructed me;

I love those that love me; and they that seek me early shall find me.

that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasuries.

Do they not err that devise evil? but loving-kindness and truth are for those that devise good.

for Jehovah will plead their cause, and despoil the soul of those that despoil them.

A lying tongue hateth those that are injured by it, and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

Open thy mouth for the dumb, for the cause of all those that are left desolate.

There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be remembrance of things that are to come with those who shall live afterwards.

There is no end of all the people, of all that stood before them; those however that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after the wind.

or those riches perish by some evil circumstance, and if he have begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand.

which my soul yet seeketh, and I have not found: one man among a thousand have I found, but a woman among all those have I not found.

There is no man who hath control over the spirit to retain the spirit; and no one hath control over the day of death; and there is no discharge in that war, neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.

in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows are darkened,

In that day there shall be a sprout of Jehovah for beauty and glory, and the fruit of the earth for excellency and for ornament for those that are escaped of Israel.

As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and their graven images exceeded those of Jerusalem and Samaria,

but thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, covered with the slain those thrust through with the sword, that go down to the stones of the pit: like a carcase trodden under foot.

Hath he smitten him according to the smiting of those that smote him? Is he slain according to the slaughter of those slain by him?

And a highway shall be there and a way, and it shall be called, The way of holiness: the unclean shall not pass through it; but it shall be for these. Those that go this way even fools, shall not err therein.

In those days Hezekiah was sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.

I said, I shall not see Jah, Jah in the land of the living. With those who dwell where all has ceased to be, I shall behold man no more.

He will feed his flock like a shepherd: he will gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom; he will gently lead those that give suck.

And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? And the coming things, and those that shall happen, let them declare unto them.

The Lord Jehovah, who gathereth the outcasts of Israel, saith: Yet will I gather others to him, with those of his that are gathered.

I have seen his ways, and will heal him; and I will lead him, and will restore comforts unto him and to those of his that mourn.

For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; and those nations shall be utterly wasted.

We have become like those over whom thou never barest rule, those not called by thy name.

Thou meetest him that rejoiceth to do righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: (behold, thou wast wroth, and we have sinned:) in those is perpetuity, and we shall be saved.

And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow; to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory: and they shall declare my glory among the nations.

Thou shalt indeed go forth from her with thy hands upon thy head; for Jehovah hath rejected those thou confidest in, and thou shalt not prosper by them.

And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied in the land and become fruitful, in those days, saith Jehovah, they shall say no more, Ark of the covenant of Jehovah! neither shall it come to mind, nor shall they remember it, nor shall they visit it; neither shall it be done any more.

In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel; and they shall come together out of the land of the north, to the land which I caused your fathers to inherit.

Nevertheless in those days, saith Jehovah, I will not make a full end with you.

And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, in all the places whither I have driven those that remain, saith Jehovah of hosts.

Therefore will I give their wives unto others, their fields to those that shall possess them; for every one, from the least even unto the greatest, is given to covetousness; from the prophet even unto the priest, every one dealeth falsely.

I will utterly take them away, saith Jehovah: there are no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree; and the leaf is faded: and I will give them up to those that shall pass over them.

The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: the whole land trembleth at the sound of the neighing of his steeds, and they come, and devour the land, and all it contains, the city and those that dwell therein.

Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, and who say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and by famine shall those prophets be consumed;

Jehovah, give heed to me, and listen to the voice of those that contend with me.

And afterwards, saith Jehovah, I will give Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life, and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword: he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.

In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge:

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith Jehovah: I will put my law in their inward parts, and will write it in their heart; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

If those ordinances depart from before me, saith Jehovah, the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
