But, if they would not hearken, by a weapon, should they pass away, and breathe their last, no one knowing.

He would deliver the humbled in his humiliation, and would uncover - in oppression - their ear.

Shall it be declared to him - that I would speak? Were any man to say aught, he might he destroyed?

Who hath removed his outer garment, through his double row of teeth, who would enter?

But, for himself, hath he made ready the weapons so deadly, His arrows, he, so fiery, would make:

The purpose of the poor, ye would put to shame, because, Yahweh, is his refuge.

Hear, O Yahweh, the right, Attend to my loud cry, Give ear unto my prayer, on lips that would not deceive:

Unto thee, O Yahweh, my soul, would I lift:

I have not sat with men of deceit, nor, with dissemblers, would I enter;

I have hated the convocation of evil-doers, and, with lawless men, would I not sit;

My sin, would I own unto thee, and, mine iniquity, not hide, I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Yahweh, And, thou, didst forgive the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath, Burn not with vexation - it would be only to do evil;

Let me know, O Yahweh, mine end, And the measure of my days - what it is, I would know how short-lived I am.

Mighty things, hast thou done - Thou, Yahweh my God, Thy wonderful doings and thy purposes to-wards us, There is no setting them in order unto thee - I would tell, and would speak! - They are too great to rehearse.

Would not, God, have searched into this, Seeing that, he, knoweth the secrets of the heart?

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee, For, mine, is the world, and the fulness thereof.

Wilt thou cause me to hear joy and gladness? The bones thou hast crushed would exult.

I would teach transgressors thy ways, And, sinners, unto thee, should return.

Because of the noise of the enemy, By reason of the oppression of the lawless one, For they would let trouble drop upon me, And, in anger, would they entrap me.

My heart, would writhe within me, And, the terrors of Death, have fallen upon me:

Fear and trembling, would enter me, And there would have overwhelmed me - a horror!

Then I said - Oh that there were given me a pinion, like a dove, I would fly away and be at rest:

Lo! I would take a distant flight, I would tarry in the wilderness. Selah.

I would hasten mine escape, From rushing wind, from storm.

I would be a guest in thy tent to the ages, I would seek refuge in the concealment of thy wings. Selah.

Should I call thee to mind upon my conch, In the watches of the night, would I breathe soft speech of thee.

When, they, to crush it, would seek my life, They shall go into the lower parts of the earth:

Yet, he, full of compassion, would put a propitiatory-covering over iniquity, and not destroy, - Yea, many a time, turned he back his anger, And would not stir up all his wrath.

If, my people, were hearkening unto me, If, Israel, in my ways, would walk,

Right soon, their foes, would I subdue, And, against their adversaries, would I turn my hand:

Then would he feed them from the marrow of the wheat, Yea, out of the rock - with honey, would I satisfy thee.

For they have taken counsel with one heart, Against thee - a covenant, would they solemnize -

Then would he have bidden to destroy them, - had not Moses his chosen, stood in the breach before him, To turn back his wrath from destroying.

So he lifted up his hand unto them, that he would let them fall in the desert;

And would disperse their seed among the nations, and would scatter them throughout the lands.

Because he standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save, from them who would pass sentence on his life.

Oh would that my ways might be settled! that I might keep thy statutes.

[HETH] My portion, is Yahweh, I have promised that I would keep thy words.

We would enter his habitations, we would bow down at his footstool.

I would recount them! Beyond the sands, they multiply, I rouse myself - and am still with thee.

Do not grant, O Yahweh, the desires of the lawless one, his device, do not promote, They would exalt themselves. Selah.

But ye dismissed all my counsel, and, to my rebuke, would not yield,

All of them, shall be plain, to them who would understand, and just, to such as would gain knowledge.

The woman Stupidity, is boisterous, so simple that she knoweth not what she would do;

Every, wise woman, buildeth up her house, but, a foolish one, with her own hands, would break it down.

Cease, my son, to hear instruction that would cause thee to wander from the sayings of knowledge.

and who could know whether a, wise man, he would be or a foolish, and yet he would lord it over all my toil, wherein I had toiled and wherein I had acted wisely, under the sun, - even this, was vanity.

For, if the one should fall, the other would raise up his companion, - but alas! for him who is alone when he falleth, with no second to raise him up!

There was no end to all the people, to all before whom he came, yet, they who should come later, would not rejoice in him, - surely, even this, was vanity, and a feeding on wind.

Scarcely had I passed from them, when I found the beloved of my soul, - I caught him, and would not let him go, until that I had brought him into the house of my mother, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.

THEYReturn, return, O Shulamite, Return, return, that we may look on thee! SHEWhat would ye look on in the Shulamite? THEYAs it were the dance of a double camp --

Oh that thou hadst been a very brother to me, who had sucked the breasts of my own mother, - Had I found thee without, I had kissed thee, Yea, folk would not have despised me!

I would have guided thee - brought thee into the house of my mother, Thou wouldst have instructed me, - I would have let thee drink of spiced wine, of the pressed-out juice of my pomegranate.

Many waters, cannot quench love, nor shall, floods, overwhelm it, - If a man would give all the substance of his house, for love, they would, utterly despise, him. ****

Why should ye be smitten any more? Ye would again turn aside! The whole head is sick, And the whole heart faint:

Therefore, thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, Do not fear O my people dwelling in Zion, because of Assyria, - When with his rod, he would smite thee, And when his staff, he would lift up against thee in the manner of Egypt;

And it shall become a sign and a witness unto Yahweh of hosts in the land of Egypt, - For they will make outcry unto Yahweh, because of oppressors, That he would send them a saviour - and a great one Then will he deliver them.

Should he spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, As a swimmer spreadeth forth to swim, Then would be laid low his pride, together with the devices of his hands.

O Yahweh though thy hand be lifted up, - yet do they not see, Would they might see - and turn pale at a peoples zeal, - Surely, the fire of thine enemies, must consume them!

Fury, have I none, - Oh that there were delivered to me briars and thorns, in battle! I would march in among them I would set fire to them one and all.

Even a spirit of justice - to him that presideth over justice, And strength to them who would turn back the battle at the gate.

Whom, would he teach knowledge? And, whom, would he cause to understand the message? Them who are weaned from the milk? taken from the breasts?

Bread-corn, must be crushed, - Yet would he not be evermore, threshing, it, So he hasteneth over it the wheel of his cart, with his horsemen, He crusheth it not!

Alas! for them who would fain have been too deep for Yahweh by giving secret counsel, - and therefore in the dark, have been their doings, and they have said Who can see us? and - Who can understand us?

For their princes have been, in Zoan, - And, their messengers unto Hanes, would draw near.

The Oracle on the Beasts of the South, - Through a land of distress and oppression - Lioness and lion coming therefrom, Viper and fiery flying serpent, They would carry, on the shoulders of young asses their wealth And on the humps of camels their treasures Unto a people that cannot serve them.

But, the Egyptians, with vanity and emptiness, would help, - Therefore have I proclaimed concerning this, Insolent, they sit still!

For thus, said my Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel - By returning and resting, shall ye be saved, In keeping quiet and trusting, shall be your strength, - Howbeit ye would not!

So shall, thine own ears, hear a word from behind thee saying, - This, is the way, walk ye therein, When ye would turn to the right hand Or when ye would turn to the left.

Alas! for them who are going down to Egypt for help, On horses, would rely, - And have trusted - In chariots - because they are many, and In horsemen, because they are very bold, But have not looked unto the Holy One of Israel, And onto Yahweh, have not sought.

Thus, saith, Yahweh, The Holy One of Israel And his Fashioner, As to things to come, they have asked me, Concerning my sons and concerning the work of my hands, they would command me!

Because, My Lord, Yahweh, would help me, Therefore was I not deterred by insult, - Therefore did I set my face like flint, And I knew that I should not be put to shame.

Lo! they would, quarrel, with thee - not at all from me, - Whoso hath quarrelled with thee, over thee, shall fall.

Against whom would ye disport yourselves? Against whom would ye widen the mouth and lengthen the tongue, - Are not, ye, Children of transgression, A Seed of falsehood.

For not age-abidingly, will I contend, Nor perpetually, will I be wroth, - For, spirit, before me, would faint, Even the breathing souls, which, I, had made.

Would that thou hadst rent the heavens, hadst come down,

At thy presence, had mountains, quaked: As fire kindleth brushwood, As fire causeth, water, to boil, So if thou wouldst make known thy Name to thine adversaries, At thy presence, nations, would tremble.

He hath said, If a man send away his wife, and she go from him and become another man's, will he return unto her, again? would not that land be, utterly defiled? And, thou, hast been unchaste with many neighbours, and yet thinkest to return unto me! Declareth Yahweh.

Lusty, well-fed horses, had they become, Every man unto his neighbours wife, would neigh!

Even for me, will ye have no reverence? Enquireth Yahweh, And because of me, will ye not he pained? In that though I placed the sand as a bound to the sea, A decree age-abiding, and it should not pass beyond it, - When they would toss themselves Then should they not prevail, When the waves thereof would roar Then should they not pass beyond it,

When I would have cheered myself against sorrow, Against me, mine own heart sickened: -

Who would not revere thee, O King of nations? For, thee, doth it beseem; Forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations And throughout all their royal estate, None, there is like unto thee.

and it commit wickedness in mine eyes, in not hearkening unto my voice, then will I repent concerning the good wherewith I had said I would do it good.

As I live, Declareth Yahweh, - Even though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet-ring upon my right hand, yet, from thence, would I pull thee off;

and I would give thee into the hand of them who seek thy life and into the hand of them from the face of whom, thou dost shrink in fear, - even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of the Chaldeans;

My lord, O King! wickedly, have these men done all that they haw done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom indeed they have cast into the dungeon, - since he would have died where he was because of the famine, for there is no bread any longer, in the city.

Then shalt thou say unto them, - I was causing my supplication to fall prostrate before the king, - that he would not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan, to die there.

If, grape-gatherers, came to thee, Would they not leave, gleanings? If, thieves in the night, Would they not have taken away what sufficed them?

We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed, Leave her and let us go every one to his own land, - For her judgment, reacheth unto the heavens, And mounteth as far as the skies.

The appearance of the wheels and of their structure was like a Tarshish-stone to look upon, and they four had one likeness, - and their appearance and their structure were just as would be a wheel in the midst of a wheel.

whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they went - thither was the spirit minded to go, - and the wheels would be lifted up along with them, for the spirit of the living one was in the wheels:

liner unto many peoples deep of lip and heavy of tongue, whose words thou couldst not understand, - surely if unto them I had sent thee, they would have hearkened unto thee.

Yet even l lifted up my hand to them. in the desert, - That I would not b1ing them into the land which I had given to them flowing with milk and honey, The beauty, it was. of all lands:

Even, I, lifted up my hand to them in the desert, - That I would disperse them throughout the nations, And scatter them throughout the lands;

And it shall come to pass in that day. that I will give to Gog a place of memorial for burial in Israel even the valley of them that pass through east of the sea, And it shall be enough to keep back them who would pass through,- and they shall bury there. Gog and all his multitude, and shall call it. Ge-hamon-gog. That is "The valley of the multitude of Gog."

Then said he unto me, Son of man This is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet where I would dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel to times age-abiding,- But the house of Israel must, no more defile my holy Name. They, nor their kings by their unchastity, and by the carcases of their kings in their high places,

And when the prince would offer as a free- will offering, an ascending-sacrifice or peace-offerings as a free-will offering to Yahweh, then shall be opened to him the gate that looketh to the east, and he shall offer his ascending-sacrifice and his peace-offerings just a. he would offer on the sabbath day,- and when he shall go forth, then shall one shut the gate after he hath gone forth.

Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, When the prince would bestow gift upon any one of his sons his own inheritance, shall it be, for his sons, shall it remain, - their possession, shall it be by way of inheritance.

But when he would bestow a gift out of his inheritance on any one of his servants,, it shall remain his unto the year of liberation, then shall it return to the prince, - surely it is the inheritance of his sons theirs shall it remain.

But Daniel laid it upon his heart, that he would not defile himself with the delicacies of the king, nor with the wine which he drank, - therefore sought he of the ruler of the eunuchs, that he might not defile himself.
