^5:16But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God shall be glorified in righteousness. ¹⁷And they that were spoiled shall be fed as bulls, and lambs shall feed on the waste places of them that are taken away. ¹⁸Woe to them that draw sins to them as with a long rope, and iniquities as with a thong of the heifer's yoke: ¹⁹who say, Let him speedily hasten what he will do, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel come, that we may know it. ²⁰Woe to them that call evil good, and good evil; who make darkness light, and light darkness; who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter. ²¹Woe to them that are wise in their own conceit, and knowing in their own sight. ²²Woe to the strong ones of you that drink wine, and the mighty ones that mingle strong drink: ²³who justify the ungodly for rewards, and take away the righteousness of the righteous. ²⁴Therefore as stubble shall be burnt by a coal of fire, and shall be consumed by a violent flame, their root shall be as chaff, and their flower shall go up as dust: for they rejected the law of the Lord of hosts, and insulted the word of the Holy One of Israel. ²⁵Therefore the Lord of hosts was greatly angered against his people, and he reached forth his hand upon them, and smote them: and the mountains were troubled, and their carcases were as dung in the midst of the way: yet for all this his anger has not been turned away, but his hand is yet raised.

^4:16So Cain went forth from the presence of God and dwelt in the land of Nod over against Edem. ¹⁷And Cain knew his wife, and having conceived she bore Enoch; and he built a city; and he named the city after the name of his son, Enoch. ¹⁸And to Enoch was born Gaidad; and Gaidad begot Maleleel; and Maleleel begot Mathusala; and Mathusala begot Lamech. ¹⁹And Lamech took to himself two wives; the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the second Sella. ²⁰And Ada bore Jobel; he was the father of those that dwell in tents, feeding cattle. ²¹And the name of his brother was Jubal; he it was who invented the psaltery and harp. ²²And Sella also bore Thobel; he was a smith, a manufacturer both of brass and iron; and the sister of Thobel was Noëma. ²³And Lamech said to his wives, Ada and Sella, Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, consider my words, because I have slain a man to my sorrow and a youth to my grief. ²⁴Because vengeance has been exacted seven times on Cain's behalf, on Lamech's it shall be seventy times seven. ²⁵And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Seth, saying, For God has raised up to me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. ²⁶And Seth had a son, and he called his name Enos: he hoped to call on the name of the Lord God.

^5:15Drink waters out of thine own vessels, and out of thine own springing wells. ¹⁶Let not waters out of thy fountain be spilt by thee, but let thy waters go into thy streets. ¹⁷Let them be only thine own, and let no stranger partake with thee. ¹⁸Let thy fountain of water be truly thine own; and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. ¹⁹Let thy loving hart and thy graceful colt company with thee, and let her be considered thine own, and be with thee at all times; for ravished with her love thou shalt be greatly increased. ²⁰Be not intimate with a strange woman, neither fold thyself in the arms of a woman not thine own. ²¹For the ways of a man are before the eyes of God, and he looks on all his paths. ²²Iniquities ensnare a man, and every one is bound in the chains of his own sins. ²³Such a man dies with the uninstructed; and he is cast forth from the abundance of his own substance, and has perished through folly. ^6:1My son, if thou become surety for thy friend, thou shalt deliver thine hand to an enemy. ²For a man's own lips become a strong snare to him, and he is caught with the lips of his own mouth. ³My son, do what I command thee, and deliver thyself; for on thy friend's account thou art come into the power of evil men: faint not, but stir up even thy friend for whom thou art become surety.

^28:10And Jacob went forth from the well of the oath, and departed into Charrhan. ¹¹And came to a certain place and slept there, for the sun had gone down; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put it at his head, and lay down to sleep in that place, ¹²and dreamed, and behold a ladder fixed on the earth, whose top reached to heaven, and the angels of God ascended and descended on it. ¹³And the Lord stood upon it, and said, I am the God of thy father Abraam, and the God of Isaac; fear not, the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed. ¹⁴And thy seed shall be as the sand of the earth; and it shall spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed. ¹⁵And behold I am with thee to preserve thee continually in all the way wherein thou shalt go; and I will bring thee back to this land; for I will not desert thee, until I have done all that I have said to thee. ¹⁶And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and said, The Lord is in this place, and I knew it not. ¹⁷And he was afraid, and said, How fearful is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.

^43:27And it shall come to pass from the eighth day and onward, that the priests shall offer your whole-burnt-offerings on the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord. ^44:1Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary that looks eastward; and it was shut. ²And the Lord said to me, This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no one shall pass through it; for the Lord God of Israel shall enter by it, and it shall be shut. ³For the prince, he shall sit in it, to eat bread before the Lord; he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go forth by the way of the same. ⁴And he brought me in by the way of the gate that looks northward, in front of the house: and I looked, and, behold, the house was full of the glory of the Lord: and I fell upon my face.

^9:1Wisdom has built a house for herself, and set up seven pillars. ²She has killed her beasts; she has mingled her wine in a bowl, and prepared her table. ³She has sent forth her servants, calling with a loud proclamation to the feast, saying, ⁴Whoso is foolish, let him turn aside to me: and to them that want understanding she says, ⁵Come, eat of my bread, and drink wine which I have mingled for you. ⁶Leave folly, that ye may reign for ever; and seek wisdom, and improve understanding by knowledge. ⁷He that reproves evil men shall get dishonour to himself; and he that rebukes an ungodly man shall disgrace himself. ⁸Rebuke not evil men, lest they should hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. ⁹Give an opportunity to a wise man, and he will be wiser: instruct a just man, and he will receive more instruction. ¹⁰The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the counsel of saints is understanding: ¹¹For in this way thou shalt live long, and years of thy life shall be added to thee.
