And so Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and hath built temples, and, Judah, hath multiplied fortified cities, - Therefore will I send a fire upon his cities, and it shall consume the palaces thereof.

Shall, mortal man, be more just than GOD? Or a man be more pure than, his Maker?

But none saith - Where is GOD my maker, Who giveth songs in the night;

Enter! let us bow down, and bend low, Let us kneel, before Yahweh our maker;

The oppressor of the poor, hath reproached his Maker, but he that sheweth favour to the needy, is one who, holdeth Him in honour.

The rich and the poor, meet together, the maker of them all, is Yahweh.

Thus, saith Yahweh Who hath redeemed thee, Who hath fashioned thee from birth, - I - Yahweh, am the maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens, alone, Spreading forth the earth, of myself;

For, thy husband, is, thy Maker, Yahweh of hosts, is his Name, - And, thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, The God of all the earth, shall he be called.

But, the tongue, none of mankind can, tame, - A restless mischief! Full of deadly poison

For, he that desireth to love, life, and to see good days, Let him cause his tongue to cease from mischief, and lips, that they speak not deceit;

Let him turn away from mischief, and do good, Let him seek peace, and pursue it;

And he said, My son shall not go down with you, - For, his brother, is dead and, he alone, is left, and as surely as there befall him any mischief by the way wherein ye go, so surely shall ye bring down my grey hairs with sorrow unto hades.

And I have never seen him since. As surely as ye take, this one also, away from before my face and there befall him any mischief, so surely shall ye bring down my grey hairs, with misfortune to hades.

And when men strive together and push against a woman with child, and she miscarry, hut there is no other mischief, he shall, surely be fined, according as the woman's husband shall lay upon him, but he shall give it through judges.

Let him turn back the mischief upon mine adversaries, In thy faithfulness, destroy them!

All the day, they wrest, my words, Against me, all their devices are for mischief;

Then said Solomon, If he will be a man of worth, there shall not one hair of him fall to the earth, - but, if mischief be found in him, then shall he die.

Rescue me, O Yahweh, from the men of mischief, From the men of violence, wilt thou preserve me:

As for the head of them who surround me, Let the mischief of their lips cover them:

For, their feet, to mischief, do run, and haste to the shedding of blood.

For they sleep not, unless they can do mischief, - They rob themselves of their sleep, if they cannot cause someone to stumble,

Hath perverse things in his heart, deviseth mischief on every occasion, strifes, he sendeth forth.
