13250 God hands me over to young boys,And into the hands of wicked ones he throws me headlong.
13251 I had come to be at ease, but he proceeded to shake me up;And he grabbed me by the back of the neck…
13260 And the decision is to be made between an able-bodied man and God,The same as between a son of man …
13266 He may tell companions to take their shares,But the very eyes of his sons will fail.
13267 And he has set me forth as a proverbial saying of peoples,So that I become someone into whose face …
13268 And from vexation my eye grows dimmerAnd my members are all of them like the shadow.
13271 However, YOU men may all of YOU resume. So come on, please,As I do not find anyone wise among YOU.
13272 My own days have passed along, my own plans have been torn apart,The wishes of my heart.
13273 Night they keep putting for day:'Light is near on account of darkness.'
13277 To the bars of She'ol they will go down,When we, all together, must descend to the very dust."
13282 The light also of wicked ones will be extinguishedAnd the spark of his fire will not shine.
13284 His steps of vigor will become cramped.Even his counsel will cast him off.
13290 It will eat the pieces of his skin;The firstborn of death will eat his limbs.
13291 His confidence will be torn away from his own tentAnd it will march him to the king of terrors.
13294 The very mentioning of him will certainly perish from the earth,And he will have no name out in the…
13295 They will push him out of the light into the darkness,And from the productive land they will chase …
13296 …rity and no progeny among his people,And there will be no survivor in his place of alien residence.
13298 Only these are the tabernacles of a wrongdoer,And this is the place of one that has not known God."
13307 My own glory he has stripped from me,And he takes away the crown of my head.
13309 His anger also grows hot against me,And he keeps reckoning me as an adversary of his.
13315 My breath itself has become loathsome to my wife,And I have become foul-smelling to the sons of my …
13317 All the men of my intimate group detest me,And those whom I loved have turned against me.
13318 To my skin and to my flesh my bones actually cleave,And I escape with the skin of my teeth.

13343 The venom of cobras he will suck;The tongue of a viper will kill him.
13344 He will never see the watercourses,Torrential streams of honey and butter.
13347 For he will certainly know no ease in his belly;By means of his desirable things he will not escape.
13349 While his plenty is at its peak he will be feeling anxious;All the power of misfortune itself will …
13351 He will run away from armor of iron;A bow of copper will cut him up.
13355 A heavy shower will roll his house away;There will be things poured forth on the day of his anger.
13356 This is the share of the wicked man from God,Even his stated inheritance from God."
13362 And if I have remembered, I have also become disturbed,And shuddering has taken hold of my flesh.
13365 Their houses are peace itself, free from dread,And the rod of God is not upon them.
13368 They continue raising [their voice] with the tambourine and harp,And keep rejoicing at the sound of…

13422 "Even today my state of concern is rebelliousness;My own hand is heavy on account of my sighing.
13424 I would present before him a case of justice,And my mouth I would fill with counterarguments;
13426 Would he with an abundance of power contend with me?O no! Surely he himself would pay heed to me.
13431 Of his steps my foot has laid hold;His way I have kept, and I do not deviate.
13432 [From] the commandment of his lips I do not move away.I have treasured up the sayings of his mouth …
13435 That is why I feel disturbed because of him;I show myself attentive and am in dread of him.

13518 Mortal man has not come to know its valuation,And it is not found in the land of those living.
13521 It cannot be paid for with gold of O'phir,With the rare onyx stone and the sapphire.

15618 Saying: "To you I shall give the land of Ca'naanAs the allotment of YOUR inheritance."
15624 He sent ahead of them a manWho was sold to be a slave, Joseph.
15626 Until the time that his word came,The saying of Jehovah itself refined him.
15627 The king sent that he might release him,The ruler of the peoples, that he might let him loose.
15630 And Israel proceeded to come into Egypt,And Jacob himself resided as an alien in the land of Ham.
15634 They set among them the matters of his signs,And the miracles in the land of Ham.
15637 Their land swarmed with frogs,In the interior rooms of their kings.
15640 And he proceeded to strike their vines and their fig treesAnd to break the trees of their territory.

15662 And so he saved them from the hand of the haterAnd reclaimed them from the hand of the enemy.
15663 And the waters came covering their adversaries;Not one of them was left.
15668 And they began to envy Moses in the camp,Even Aaron the holy one of Jehovah.
15669 The earth then opened up and swallowed down Da'than,And covered over the assembly of A·bi'ram.
15672 So that they exchanged my gloryFor a representation of a bull, an eater of vegetation.
15673 They forgot God their Savior,The Doer of great things in Egypt,
15674 Wonderful works in the land of Ham,Fear-inspiring things at the Red Sea.
15677 And they kept grumbling in their tents;They did not listen to the voice of Jehovah.

26324 Owing to this many of his disciples went off to the things behind and would no longer walk with him.
26326 Simon Peter answered him: "Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life;
26327 and we have believed and come to know that you are the Holy One of God."
26328 Jesus answered them: "I chose YOU twelve, did I not? Yet one of YOU is a slanderer."
26329 He was, in fact, speaking of Judas [the son] of Simon Is·car'i·ot; for this one was going to betray…
26331 However, the festival of the Jews, the festival of tabernacles, was near.
26341 And there was a lot of subdued talk about him among the crowds. Some would say: "He is a good man."…
26342 No one, of course, would speak about him publicly because of the fear of the Jews.
26344 Therefore the Jews fell to wondering, saying: "How does this man have a knowledge of letters, when …

26347 He that speaks of his own originality is seeking his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him …

26366 Now on the last day, the great day of the festival, Jesus was standing up and he cried out, saying:…

26371 Has not the Scripture said that the Christ is coming from the offspring of David, and from Beth'le·…
26373 Some of them, though, were wanting to get hold of him, but no one did lay [his] hands upon him.
26377 Not one of the rulers or of the Pharisees has put faith in him, has he?
26379 Nic·o·de'mus, who had come to him previously, and who was one of them, said to them:

26383 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
26386 they said to him: "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of committing adultery.
26387 In the Law Moses prescribed for us to stone such sort of women. What, really, do you say?"
26388 Of course, they were saying this to put him to the test, in order to have something with which to a…

26438 Abraham YOUR father rejoiced greatly in the prospect of seeing my day, and he saw it and rejoiced."
26441 Therefore they picked up stones to hurl [them] at him; but Jesus hid and went out of the temple.

26463 His parents said these things because they were in fear of the Jews, for the Jews had already come …
26464 This is why his parents said: "He is of age. QUESTION him."
26469 At this they reviled him and said: "You are a disciple of that [man], but we are disciples of Moses.
26473 From of old it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of one born blind.
26476 …t they had thrown him out, and, on finding him, he said: "Are you putting faith in the Son of man?"
26481 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him: "We are not blin…
26484 But he that enters through the door is shepherd of the sheep.
26487 …y will by no means follow but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."
26489 Therefore Jesus said again: "Most truly I say to YOU, I am the door of the sheep.
26490 All those that have come in place of me are thieves and plunderers; but the sheep have not listened…
26493 I am the fine shepherd; the fine shepherd surrenders his soul in behalf of the sheep.
26497 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I surrender my soul in behalf of the sheep.

26501 Again a division resulted among the Jews because of these words.
26502 Many of them were saying: "He has a demon and is mad. Why do YOU listen to him?"
26503 Others would say: "These are not the sayings of a demonized man. A demon cannot open blind people's…
26504 At that time the festival of dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was wintertime,
26505 and Jesus was walking in the temple in the colonnade of Sol'o·mon.

26519 If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.
26521 Therefore they tried again to seize him; but he got out of their reach.

26551 She said to him: "Yes, Lord; I have believed that you are the Christ the Son of God, the One coming…
26556 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to …
26561 But some of them said: "Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent th…
26563 Jesus said: "TAKE the stone away." Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: "Lord, by now h…

26566 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order…
26569 Therefore many of the Jews that had come to Mary and that beheld what he did put faith in him;
26570 but some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them the things Jesus did.
26573 But a certain one of them, Ca'ia·phas, who was high priest that year, said to them: "YOU do not kno…
