that

That we may jointly cause it to arise."

And mind and sight, and Word that maketh forms

Them that are dead and every sickness heals.

Or whence he came, that he may talk to the dead.

With a reed that they may fulfill their law;

Their former wickedness, that, being born

Behold, meek he shall come, that he may lift

And all that have been spoken by my mouth

Him that speaks not, and how great the whole height

That thirsts do mortals drunken pour out wine

For nought to idols that can give no aid.

That from them they derive all hope and life,

And to the body that is naked clothes

Sowing piety, that also I to thee

The mouth of every one, that they themselves

Vieing with them that lead a holy life

And those that creep and those of double nature;

That obeyed God, and keepers of the herds,

That sends forth flame of altars; nor do thou,

With soothing psalms and songs that honor God,

Destroyed that race by many waters, then

They do not make escape from in that day.

And fields and lands that bring forth goodly fruit.

Shalt thou receive when that stronger-minded man

That feeds on sheep, who unto manhood grown

A great sign to them that are yet to be;

And he shall share that name which shows the sign

Let Memphis then upbraid them that command.

Nor shall they in that day make their escape

Another there shall perish; son that wears

And her name very lovely shall be that

Then, Egypt, know the king that comes to thee;

On account of that people, whom of old

And know at last that God's wrath came to thee.

Declare that I am a true prophetess

And things that were ye shall know from our words;

And after that one of the race and blood

The children of the beast that feeds on sheep,

And the Iberians that shoot the arrow.

But dust that of Nemea's flower has name.

He that before was wounded, shall again

Then in the plain of Rome, so that a man

That speaketh all these things. Now let me rest

Both that of life and that of baneful death.

Both that of life and that of baneful death.

So also are the Persians in that day

Bostra and Philippopolis, that thou may'st come

Hast trusted many, when that very man

Shall afterwards bring near that which is thine.

The land shall drink! For that shall be a time

That digs the earth with his hoofs and stirs up

So dread, that sends forth many piping sounds,

And the he-goat that sideways moves along,

Not understanding that God himself hates

That kill men, which upon the ocean's streams

The sun that lighteth mortals shall withdraw,

Of much skill, with a name that numbers five,

That bear the quiver, bent Massagetae,

Nor is it possible that thou escape

Still worse than that of leopards and of wolves;

Cause them to come that have a shameless soul,

Into that condemnation of wickedness.

Shall gather many oracles that speak

And rest shall be when that rule is destroyed.

Another from another, from that land

Shall conquer, and thou shalt bid them that know

The oracles that call on God to cleanse

Was leader surnamed for them that are free,

And the city that suffered very many things

That these things be fulfilled. And at that time

That these things be fulfilled. And at that time

In this conjecturing, that the race of men

his son named Esarhaddon and became king in Assyria instead of Senacherib his father. At that time I said

his courtiers, I thought, 'He will seek my good in return for that which I have done for him'. Then

the officer, '(Yes, and) also I am that Ahikar who formerly saved you from an undeserved death

Moreover king Senacherib was well pleased with me that I had kept you alive and had not killed you. Now

'Do according as you think. Let us not kill him, but you shall give us that slave,

At that time it was reported in the country of Assyria, saying, 'Ahikar the scribe of Esarhaddon

the king is killed.' Then Nabusumiskun, that officer, took me to his house and hid me, also

abundant sustenance and (other) things in plenty. Then Nabusumiskun, that officer,

I went and found that Ahikar and killed him.' And when king Esarhaddon

bread and does not eat in order that he may live, but it is too good for him to taste.

Swifter is his anger than lightning. Do thou take heed to thyself. Let him not show it at thy words, that thou go away before thy time.

A king is like the merciful: even his voice is high: who is he that can stand before him, except one who is like him?

A good vessel hides a thing within itself, but one that is broken lets it go forth.

. . . do thou, O my son, borrow corn and wheat that thou mayest eat and be filled and give to thy children with thee.

All that thou hearest thou mayest try by thy ears, for the beauty of a man is his faithfulness, for his hatefulness is the lying of his lips.

Despise not that which is in thy lot, and covet not some great thing which is withheld from thee.

Thy secrets reveal not before thy friends, that thy name be not lightly esteemed before them.

With one that is higher than thou, do not go to quarrelling.

With one that is a noble and stronger than thou, contend not, for he will take

Better is he that restrains . . .

Hunger sweetens that which is bitter and thirst . . .

Let him that is vexed be satisfied with bread, and the soul of the poor be sated with wine.

And lo! a ladder was set up on the earth, whose top reached unto heaven. And the top of the ladder was a face as of a man, hewn out of fire. Now it had twelve steps up to the top of the ladder, and upon each step up to the top were two human faces on the right and on the left—twenty-four faces seen to their breast, on the ladder. But the middle face was higher than them all, which I saw made of fire, to the shoulder and the arm, very terribly, more than the twenty-four faces. And as I looked, behold, the Angels of God ascending and descending thereon: but the Lord was set above it, and he called me, saying: Jacob, Jacob. And I said: Here am I, Lord; And he said to me: The land whereon thou sleepest I will give to thee and to thy seed after thee: and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven and as the sand of the sea; through thy seed shall all the earth be blessed, and they that dwell thereon, unto the last times, the years of the end. My blessing wherewith I have blessed thee shall pour out from thee unto the last generation. All in the east and the west shall be full of thy seed.

And when I heard it from above, fear and trembling fell upon me, and I rose up from my dream. And while the Voice of God was yet in mine ears, I said: How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. And I set up the stone that was under my head for a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it, and I called the name of that place the house of God . . . Lord God of Adam, of thy creature, and Lord God of Abraham and Isaac my father, and of all whose ways are right before thee, thou that sittest mighty upon the Cherubim and upon the throne of the majesty, of fire and full of eyes, as I saw in my dream; that holds the Cherubim with four faces, that bears the Seraphim full of eyes, that bears the whole world under his arm, and is borne of none. Thou hast established the heaven for the glory of thy name. Thou hast spread out upon the clouds of the heaven the heaven that flieth under thee, that under it thou mayest move the sun and hide it in the night lest it be held for God: thou hast ordained the way for the moon and the stars, and her thou makest to wax and wane, but for the stars, thou hast commanded them to pass over, lest these also should be supposed gods. Before the face of thy majesty the six-winged Seraphim fear, and hide their feet and their face with their wings, and with the others they fly, and sing . . . Highest, with twelve faces, many-named, fiery, lightning-formed, holy one! Holy, Holy, Holy, Jao Jaova, Jaoel, Sabakdos, Chabod, Sabaoth, Omlelech, Elaber, Ame S'me Barech, eternal king, strong, mighty, very great, long-suffering. Blessed One, that fillest heaven and earth and the sea and the abyss and all æons with thy glory. Hear my song wherewith I have praised thee, and grant me my petition for which I pray to thee, and show me the interpretation of my dream. For thou art strong and mighty and glorious, a holy God, the Lord of me and of my fathers.
