And Berselai the Galaadite came from Rogelim and went over Jordan with the king, to accompany him over Jordan: which Berselai was a very aged man, even four score years old, and had provided the king of sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim: for he was a man of very great substance. And the king said unto Berselai: come thou with me, that I may feed thee with me in Jerusalem. But Berselai said unto the king: of what age am I of, that I should go with the king into Jerusalem. I am this day four score year old: and therefore cannot discern savory from unsavory, neither hath thy servant pleasure in that he eateth or drinketh: nor yet delectation in the songs of men or women. It is no need that thy servant be a burden unto my Lord the king: let thy servant go a little way over Jordan with the king: for why should the king render me such a reward? But let thy servant turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father and mother. But lo here is thy servant Chamaam: let him go with my Lord the King, and do to him, what shall please thee.
And the king answered: Chamaam shall go with me. And I will do to him that thou shalt be content with. And thereto whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that same will I do for thee. And all the people went over Jordan. And when the king was come over Jordan, he kissed Berselai and took his leave of him, and he went back again unto his own place. And then the king went to Galgal, and Chamaam went with him. Now all the men of Juda were at the bringing over of the king, and but half the men of Israel.THE SECOND BOOK OF CHRONICLES Chpt 10
And when Jeroboam and all Israel were come the third day, as the king bade saying: come again to me the third day. The king answered them cruelly, for king Rehoboam left the counsel of the aged men, and answered them after the advice of the young men saying. If my father made your yoke grievous, I will add thereto, and where my father chastised you with whips, I will chastise you with scorpions. And so the king hearkened not unto the people, for the turning away was of God, that the Lord might make good his saying which he spake by the hand of Ahiah the Silonite to Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
And when all Israel saw that the King would not hear them, the people answered the king saying: what part have we with David or inheritance with the son of Isai? let every man of Israel go to his tent.
In the land of *hus, there was a man called Job: an innocent and virtuous man, such one as feared God, *exchewed evil. This man had seven sons, and three daughters. His substance was seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she asses, and a very great household: so that he was one of the most principal men among all them of the east country. And his sons went, and made banquets: one day in one house, another day in another, and sent for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. So when they had passed over the time of their banqueting round about, Job sent for them, and cleansed them again, and gat up early, and offered for everyone a burnt offering. For Job thought thus: peradventure my sons have done some offense, and have been unthankful to God in their hearts. And thus did Job everyday. Now upon the time, when the servants of God came and stood before the Lord, *Sathan came also among them. And the Lord said unto Sathan: From whence comest thou? Sathan answered the Lord, and said: I have gone about the land and walked through it.
Then said the Lord unto Sathan: hast thou not considered my servant Job, and how that he is an innocent and virtuous man: such one as feareth God, and *extueth evil, and that there is none like him in the land? Sathan answered, and said unto the Lord: Doth Job fear God for nought? hast thou not preserved him, his house, and all his substance on every side? hast thou not blessed the work of his hands? Is not his possession is increased in the land? But lay thine hand upon him a little, touch once all that he hath, and ( I hold ) he shall curse thee to thy face. And the Lord said unto Sathan: lo all that he hath, be in thy power: only upon him self see that thou lay not thine hand. Then went Sathan forth from the Lord.
Now upon a certain day when his sons and his daughters were eating, and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house, there came a messenger unto Job, and said: While the oxen were plowing, and the Asses going in the pasture beside them: the *Sabeens came in violently, and took them all away: yee, they have slain thy servants with the sword, and I only ran my way, to tell thee.
And while he was yet speaking, there came another, and said: The fire of God is fallen from heaven, it hath consumed, and burnt up all thy sheep and servants: and I only ran my way , to tell thee. In the mean season while he was yet speaking, there came another, and said: The *Caldees made three armies, and fell upon thy camels, which they have carried away, yee and slain thy servants with the sword: and I only am gotten away, to tell thee: While he was speaking, there came yet another, and said: Thy sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house, and suddenly there came a mighty great wind out of the South, and smote the four corners of the house: which fell upon thy children, so that they are dead: and I am gotten away alone, to tell thee.
Then Job stood up, and rent his clothes, shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, worshipped, and said: Naked came I out of my mothers womb, and naked shall I turn thither again. The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away, now blessed be the name of the Lord. In all these things did Job not offend, ner murmur foolishly against God*hus (Uz), *Sathan (Satan)
*exchewed = to avoid, shun, escape evil,
*extueth: eschew; avoid, shun, escape; put away from ones self . RN
*Sabeens HEB = "drunkard" or "he who is coming" drunk with the wine of the world, maker of oaths /a gatherer together RN *Caldees = desirous and willingSo Job answered, and said: Then ( no doubt ) ye are the men alone, and wisdom shall perish with you. But I have understanding as well as yee, and am no less than yee. Yee, who knoweth not these things? Thus he that calleth upon God, and whom God heareth, is mocked of his neighbor: the godly and innocent man is laughed to scorn. Godliness is a light despised in the hearts of the rich, and is set for them to stumble upon. The houses of robbers are in wealth and prosperity, and they that maliciously meddle against God, dwell without care: yee God giveth all things richly with his hand.
Ask the cattle, and they inform thee: the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: Speak to the earth, and it shall show thee: Or to the fishes of the sea, and they shall certify thee. What is he, but he knoweth that the hand of the Lord made all these? In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all men. Have not the ears pleasure in hearing, and the mouth in tasting the thing that it eateth? Among old persons there is wisdom, and among the aged is understanding. Yee with God is wisdom and strength, it is he that hath counsel and fore knowledge. If he break down a thing, who can set it up again? If he shut a thing, who will open it? Behold, if he withhold the waters, they dry up: If he let them go, they destroy the earth. With him is strength and wisdom: he knoweth both the deceiver and him that is deceived.
He carry away the wise men, as it were a spoil, and bringeth the judges out of their wits. He looseth the girdle of kings, and girdleth their loins with a bond. He leadeth away the Priests in to captivity, and turneth the mighty up side down. He taketh the *verity from out of the mouth, and disappoint the aged of their wisdom. He poureth out confusion upon the Princes, and comforteth them that are oppressed. Look what lieth hide in darkness, he declareth it openly: and the very shadow of death bringeth he to light. He both increaseth the people and destroyeth them: He maketh them to multiply, and driveth them away. He changeth the hearts of the Princes and Kings of the earth, and disapointeth them: so that they go wandering out of the way, and grope in the dark without light, staggering to and fro like drunk men*verity (truth, factual, realness)
Then answered *Eliphaz the Themanite, and said: Should a wise man answer as the silence of the wind, and fill his belly with the wind of the east? Thou reproveth with words, that are nothing worth: and speakest the things, that do no good. As for shame, thou hast set it aside, else wouldest thou not make so many words before God: but thy wickedness acheth thy mouth, and so thou hast chosen thee a crafty tongue. Thine own mouth condemeth thee, and not I : yee thine own lips shape the answer. Art thou the first man, that ever was born? Or, wast thou made before the hills? hast thou heard the secrete counsel of God, that all wisdom is to little for thee? What knowest thou that we knowest not? What understandest thou, but we can the same? With us are old and aged men, yee such as have lived longer than thy forefathers.
Job answered, and said: I have often times heard such things. Miserable givers of comfort are ye, all the fort of you. Shall not thy vain words come yet to an end? Or, hast thou yet any more to say? I could speak as ye do also. But would God, that your soul were in my souls stead.: then should I heap up words against you, and shake my head at you. I should comfort you with my mouth, and release your pain with the talking of my lips. But what shall I do? For all my words, my sorrow will not cease: and though I hold my tongue, yet will it not depart from me. And now that I am full of pain, and all that I have destroyed ( whereof my wrinkles bare witness ) there standeth up a disassembler to make me answer with lies to my face. He is angry at me, he hateth me, and gnasheth upon me with his teeth. Mine enemy schooleth upon me with his eyes.
They have opened their mouths wide upon me, and smitten me upon the cheek despitefully, they have eased themselves through mine adversary. God hath given me over to the ungodly. I was some time in wealth, but suddenly he hath brought me to nought. He hath taken me by the neck, he hath rent me, and set me, as it were a mark for him to shoot at. He hath compassed me round about with his darts, he hath wounded my loins, and not spared. My bowels hath he poured upon the ground. He hath given me one wound upon another, and is fallen upon me like a giant. I have sowed sack cloth upon my skin, and lay with my strength in the dust.
My face is swollen with weeping, and mine eyes are waxen dim. Howbeit there is no wickedness in my hands, and my prayer is clean. O' earth, cover not my blood, and let my crying find no room. For lo, my witness is in heaven, and he that knoweth me, is above in the height. My friends laugh me to scorn, but mine eye poureth out tears unto God. Though a body might plead with God, as one man doeth another, yet the number of my years are come, and I must go the way, from whence I shall not turn againSo these three men would strive no more with Job, because he *held himself a righteous man. But Eliu the son of Barachell the Bussite of the kindred of Ram, was very sore displeased at Job, that he called him self just before God. And with Jobs three friends he was angry also, because they had found no reasonable answer to over come him. Now tarried Eliu till they had ended their communication with Job, for why they were elder than he. So when Eliu the son of Barachell the Bussite saw, that these three men were not able to make Job answer, he was miscontent: so that he gave answer himself, and said: Considering, that I am young, and ye be men of age, I was afraid, and durst not show forth my mind, for I thought thus within myself: It becometh old men to speak, and the aged to teach wisdom. Every man ( no doubt ) hath a mind, but it is the inspiration of the Almighty that giveth understanding. All men are not wise, neither doth every aged man understand the thing that is lawful. Therefore will I speak also ( in so far as I may be heard ) and will show you mine opinion. For when I had waited till ye made an end of your talking, and heard your wisdom, what arguments you made in your communication: Yee when I had diligently pondered what ye said, I found not one of you that made any good argument against Job, or that could directly make answer unto his words: Lest ye should praise yourselves, to have found out wisdom: because it is God that hath cast him out, and no man. Nevertheless, seeing that he hath not spoken unto me, therefore will I not answer him as ye have done ( for they where abashed that they could not make answer, nor speak one word ) but in so much as ye will not speak, standing still like dumb men, and making no answer: I have a good hope to snap him an answer, and to show him my meaning. For I am full of words, and the spirit that is within me, compelleth me.
Behold I am as the new wine, which hath no vent, and bursteth the new vessels asunder. Therefore will I speak, that I may have vent: I will open my lips, and make answer. I will regard no manner of person, no man will I spare for if I would go about to please men, I know not how soon my maker would take me away
*held himself a righteous man. (kjv and other bibles of man =in his own eyes)Then spake the Lord unto Job out of the storm, and said: What is he that hideth his mind with foolish words? Gird up thy loins like a man, for I will question thee, see thou give me a direct answer. Where wast thou, when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell plainly if thou hast understanding. Who hath measured it, knowest thou? Or, who hath spread the line upon it? Where upon stand the pillars of it? Or, who layed the corner stone? Where wast thou, when the morning stars praised me together, and all the children of God rejoiced triumphantly? Who shut the sea with doors, when it break forth as a child out of his mothers womb? When I made the clouds to be a covering for it, and swaddled it with the dark? When I gave it my commandment, making doors and bars for it, and saying: Hither to thou shalt come, but no further, and here shalt thou lay down thy proud and high waves. Hast thou given the morning his charge ( as soon as thou was born ) and showed the day spring his place, that it might take hold of the corners of the earth, and that the ungodly might be shaken out? Their tokens and weapons hast thou turned like clay, and set them up again as the changing of a garment. Yee hast thou spoiled the ungodly of their light, and broken the arm of the proud. Camest thou ever into the ground of the sea: or hast thou walked in the low corners of the deep? Have the gates of death been open unto thee, or hast thou seen the door of everlasting treasure? Hast thou also perceived how broad the earth is? Now if thou hast knowledge of all, then show me where light dwelleth, and where darkness is: that thou mayest bring us unto their quarters, if thou canst tell the way to their houses.
Knowest thou (when thou wast born) how old thou shouldest be? Wentest thou ever into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the secret places of the hail, which I have prepared against the time of trouble, against the time of battle and war? By what way is the light parted, and the heat dealt upon the earth? Who divideth the abundance of waters into rivers, or who maketh a way for the stormy weather, that it watereth and moistureth the dry and barren ground: to make the grass grow in places where no man remaineth? Who is the father of rain? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew? Out of whose womb came the ice? Who hath gendered the coldness of the air? That the waters are as hard as stones, and lay congealed above the deep. *Hast thou brought the seven stars together? Or art thou able to break the circle of heaven? Canst thou bring forth the morning star at a convenient time, and convey them home again? Knowest thou the course of heaven, that thou may set up the ordinance thereof upon the earth? Moreover, canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that they may pour down a great rain upon thee? Canst thou thunder also that they may go their way, and be obedient unto thee, saying : Lo here we are. Who giveth sure wisdom or steadfast understanding? Who numbereth the clouds in wisdom? Who filleth the vehement waters of heaven? Who turneth the clots to dust, and then to be clots again? Huntest thou the prey from the lion, or feedest thou his young whelps living in their dens, and lurking in their couches? Who provideth meat for the raven, when his young ones cry unto God, and fly about for want of meat?*kjv and other bibles of man = 31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? 32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?

O' what love have I unto thy law? all the day long is *my talking of it.
Thou through thy commandment hast made me wiser than mine enemies, for it is ever by me. Yee I am wiser than the aged, for I keep thy commandments.
I refrain my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy words.
I shrink not from thy judgments, for thou teachest me.
O' how sweet are thy words **unto my throat.
Yee, more than honey to my mouth.
Through thy commandments I get understanding, therefore I hate all false ways.The strength of young men is their worship, and a grey head, is an honor unto the aged.
Every man can *eschue a person moved to anger, for what he doth wisely? Even so shall the Lord of Hosts take away from Jerusalem and from Juda, all possessions and power, all meat and drink, the captain and the soldier, the judge and the prophet, the wise and the aged man, the worshipful of fifty year old, and the honorable: the Senators, and the men of understanding: the masters of crafts and orators. And I shall give you children to be your princes,( sayeth the Lord ) and babes shall have the rule of you. One shall ever be doing violence and wrong to another. The boy will presume against the elder, and the vile person against the honorable. Ye when one shall take a friend of his own kindred by the bosom, and say: Thou hast clothing, thou shalt be our head, for thou mayest keep us from this fall and peril.
Then shall he swear and say: I can not help you. Moreover, there is neither meat nor clothing in my house, make me no ruler of the people. For Jerusalem and Juda must decay, because both their words and counsel are against the Lord, they provoke the presence of his Majesty unto anger. The changing of their countenance betrayeth them, yee they declare their own sins themselves, as the Sodomites, and hide them not. Woe be unto their souls, for they shall be heavily rewarded. Then shall they say: O happy are the godly, for they may enjoy the fruits of their studies. But woe be unto the ungodly and unrighteous for they shall be rewarded after their works. O my people, *ribaudes oppress thee, and women have rule of thee. O my people, thy leaders deceive thee, and tread out the way of thy footsteps. The Lord is here to commune of the matter, and standeth to give judgement with the people. The Lord shall come forth to reason with the Senators and princes of his people, and shall say thus unto them: It is ye that have burnt up my vineyard, the robbery of the poor is in your house. Wherefore do ye oppress my people, and marred the faces of the innocents? thus shall the Lord God of Hosts revile them.
Moreover thus sayeth the Lord: Seeing the daughters of Sion are become so proud, and come in with stretched out necks, and with vain wanton eyes: seeing they come in tripping so nicely with their feet: Therefore shall the Lord shave the heads of the daughters of Sion, and make their beauty bare in the day. In that day shall the Lord take away the gorgeousness of their apparel, and spangles, chains, *partlets, and collars, bracelets and hooves, that goodly flowered wide and boarded raiment, brushes and head bands, rings and garlands, holy day clothes and veils, kerchiefs and pins, glasses and smocks, bonnets and *taches
And instead of good smell there shall be stink among them. And for their girdles there shall be loose bands. And for well set hair there shall be baldness. Instead of a stomacher, a sackcloth, and for their beauty witherdness and *son burning. Their husbands and their mighty men shall perish with the sword in battle*eschue (avoid, escape) *ribaudes ( extortioners :MN). *partlets = ruffled covering for the neck. *taches = buckles, clasps, fasteners. *son burning exactly as recorded.
After that, shall seventy years of Tyrus, even as long as their Kings life was) be forgotten. And after seventy years, shall it happen to Tyrus as with an harlot that playeth upon the lute. Take thy lute ( say men to her) and go about the city, thou art yet an unknown wench, make pastime with diverse ballads, whereby thou mayest come into acquaintance. Thus shall it happen after seventy years. The Lord shall visit the city of Tyrus, and it shall come again to her merchandise, and shall occupy with all the kingdoms that be in the world. But all her occupying and wining shall be hallowed unto the Lord. For then shall they lay up nothing behind them nor upon heaps: but the merchandise of Tirus shall belong to the citizens of the Lord, to feeding and suffering of the hungry, and to the clothing of the aged
But as for thee ( O daughter thou virgin Babylon ) Thou shalt sit in the dust thou shall sit upon the ground, and not in a throne, ( O thou maiden of Chaldea ) Thou shalt no more be called tender and pleasant. Thou shalt bring forth that *querne and grind meal, put down thy stomacher make bear thy knees, and shalt wade through the water rivers. Thy shame shall be discovered, and thy *previties shall be seen. For I will avenge me of thee, and no man shall let me: sayeth our redeemer, which is called the Lord of Hosts, the holy one of Israel.
Sit still, hold thy tongue, and get thee into some dark corner, O daughter Chaldea, for thou shalt no more be called lady of kingdoms. I was so wroth with my people, that I *punished mine inheritance, and give them into thy power. Nevertheless, thou showiest them no mercy, but even the very aged men of them, didest thou oppress right sore with thy yoke, and thou thoughtest thus. I shall be lady for ever. And beside all that, thou hast not regarded these things, neither cast, (camest) what should come after. Hear now therefore, thou willful, that sittest so careless, and speakest it thus in thine heart: I am alone, and without me is there none: *I shall never be widow, ner desolate again. And yet both these things shall come to thee upon one day in the twinkling of an eye: Namely widowhood, and desolation. They shall mightily fall upon thee, for the multitude of thy *witches, and for the great heap of thy *conjurers. For thou hast comforted thyself in deceitfulness, and hast said: No man seeth me. Thy own wisdom and conning has deceived thee. In that thou hast said: I am alone, and without me there is none. Therefore shall trouble come upon thee, and thou shall not know, from whence it shall arise. Mischief shall fall upon thee, which thou shalt not be able to put off. A sudden misery shall come upon thee, or ever thou be aware.
Now go to thy conjurers, and to the multitude of thy witches ( whom thou hast been acquainted withal from thy youth ) if they may help thee, or strengthen thee. Thou hast hither to had many counsels of them, so let the heaven gazers and the beholders of stars come on now and deliver thee: yee and let them show, when these new things shall come upon thee. Behold, they shall be like straw, which if it be kindled with fire, no man may rid it for the vehemence of the flame: And yet it giveth no cinders to warm a man by, ner clear fire to sit by. Even so shall they be unto thee whom thou hast used and occupied from thy youth. Every one shall show thee his erroneous way, yet shall none of them defend thee*querne = hand held grain mill. *previties = secrets held between people, to cover up something . Not "private parts" as we have been told, see Genesis 3:11, when God asked Adam, "who told thee that thou wast naked"
*punished mine inheritance, (kjv and other bibles of man = polluted )
*I shall never be a widow; see Apocalypse 18. Look to the Hebrew root words for the revealing definitions of witches and conjurers. RNBehold, they take the word of God but for scorn, and have no *lust thereto. And therefore I am so full of thine indignation O' Lord, that I may suffer no longer. Shed out thy wrath upon the children that are without, and upon all young men. Yee the man must be taken prisoner with the wife, and the aged with the cripple. Their houses with their lands and wives shall be turned unto strangers, when I stretch out mine hand upon the inhabitors of this land, saith the Lord. For from the least to the most, they hang all upon covetousness: and from the prophet unto the priest, they go all about with falsehood and lies.

*lust ( deep love )In the first year of Balthazar king of Babylon, saw Daniel a dream, and a vision was in his head upon his bed. Which dream he wrote, and the sum of the matter is this: Daniel spake and said: I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the sea, and four great beasts came up from the sea, one unlike another.
The first was as a lion, and yet had he *Aegles wings. I saw, that his wings were plucked from him, and he taken away from the earth: that he stood upon his feet as a man, and that there was given him a mans heart.
Behold, the second beast was like a bear, and stood upon the one side. Among his teeth in his mouth he had three great long teeth, and it was said unto him: Arise, eat up, much flesh. Then I looked, and behold, there was another like unto a leopard: this had wings as a fowl, even four upon the back. This beast had four heads, and there was power given him. After this I saw in a vision by night, and behold, the fourth beast was grim and horrible, and marvelous strong. It had great iron teeth, it devoured and destroyed, and stamped the residue under his feet. It was far unlike the other beasts that were before it: for it had ten horns, whereof I took good heed.And behold, there came up among them, another like horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked away. Behold, this horn had eyes like a man, and a mouth speaking presumptuous things. I looked till the seats were prepared, and till the old aged sat him down. His clothing was white as snow, and the hairs of his head like the pure wool. His throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as the burning fire. There drew forth a fiery stream, and went out from him. A thousand times a thousand served him. Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set, and the books opened. Then took I heed there unto, because of the voice of the proud words, which the horn spake. I beheld, till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given over to be burnt in the fire.
As for the power of the other beasts also, it was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a time and season. I saw in vision by night, and behold, there came one in the clouds of heaven like the son of a man, which went unto the old aged, before whom they brought him: Then gave he him power and dignity regal, that all people, tribes, and tongues should serve him: His power is an everlasting power, which shall never be put down: and his kingdom endureth uncorrupt. My heart was vexed, and I Daniel had a troubled spirit within me, and the visions of my head made me afraid: till I got me to one of them that stood by, to know the truth, concerning all these things. So he told me, and made me understand the interpretation of these things.
These four great beasts, are four kings which shall arise out of the earth. These shall take in the kingdom of the saints of the most highest, and possess it still more and more for a long season. After this I required diligently to know the truth, concerning the fourth beast, which was so far unlike the other beasts, and so horrible: whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass: which wounded and destroyed, and stamped the residue with his feet. I devised also to know the truth, as touching the ten horns that he had upon his head, and this other that came up afterward, before whos face there fell down three: which horn had eyes and a mouth that spoke presumptuous things, and looked with a grimmer visage than his fellows. I beheld, and the same horn made battle against the saints, yee and got victory of them till the time that the old aged came, that the judgement was given to the cheifest saints: and till the time, that the saints had the kingdom in possession. He gave me this answer: That forth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon the earth: it shall be more than all other kingdoms, it shall devour, tread down, and destroy all other lands.
The ten horns, are ten kings that shall arise out of the kingdom, after whom there shall stand up another, which shall be greater than the first. He shall subdue three kings, and shall speak words against the highest of all: he shall destroy the saints of the most highest, and think, that he may change times and laws. They shall be given under his power, until a time, two times, and a half a time.
But the judgement shall be kept, so that his power shall be taken from him, for he shall be destroyed, and perish at the last. As for the kingdom, power and all might that is under heaven: it shall be given to the holy people of the most highest, whose kingdom is everlasting, yee all powers shall serve and obey him. Thus far extend the words. Nevertheless, I Daniel was so vexed in my thoughts, that my countenance changed, but the words I kept still in my heartTHE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 5
Nevertheless, as concerning the tokens, mark this: Behold, the days shall come, that they which dwell upon the earth, shall be taken in a great number, and the way of the truth shall be hid, and the land shall be barren from faith: but iniquity will have the upper hand, like as thou have seen now, and as thou hast heard long ago. And the land that thou seest now to have rule, shall thou shortly see waste. But if God grant thee to live, thou shalt see after the third trumpet, that the sun shall suddenly shine again in the night, and the moon three times in the day, and blood shall drop out of wood, and the stone shall give his voice, and the people shall be unquiet: and even shall rule, whom they hope not that dwell upon the earth, and the fowls shall flight, and the *Sodomitish sea shall cast out his fish, and make a noise in the night, which many shall not know, but they shall all hear the voice thereof.
There shall be a confusion also in many places, and the fire shall be often sent again, and the wild beasts shall go their way, and menstruous women shall bear monsters, and salt waters will be found in the sweat: one friend shall fight against another: then shall all wit and understanding be hid and put into their secret places, and shall be sought of many, and yet not be found: then shall unrighteousness and voluptuousness have the upper hand upon the earth. One land shall also ask another, and say: Is righteousness gone through thee? And it shall say: No, at the same time shall men hope, but nothing obtain: they shall labor but their wages shall not prosper.
To show thee such tokens I have leave, and if thou wilt pray again, and weep as now, and fast seven days, thou shalt hear yet greater things. Then I awaked, and a fearfulness went through all my body, and my mind was feeble and careful, so that I almost sounded withal. So the angel that was come to talk with me, held me, comforted me, and set me up upon my feet.
And in the second night it happened, that Salathielthe Captain of the people came unto me, saying: Where hast thou been? and why is thy countenance so heavy? Knowest thou not, that Israel is committed unto thee, in the land of their captivity? Up then, and eat and forsake us not, as the shepherd that leaveth his flock in the hands of the wicked wolves. Then said I unto him: Go thy way from me, and come not near me: and he heard it, and as I said, so went he his way from me. And so I fasted seven days, mourning and weeping, like as Uriel the angel commanded me. And after seven days it happened, that the thoughts of my heart were very grievous unto me again, and my soul received the spirit of understanding, and I began to talk with the most highest again, and said: O' Lord, Lord, of every wood of the earth and all the trees thereof, thou hast chosen the one only vineyard: and of all the lands of the whole world thou hast chosen the one pit: and of all the flowers of the ground thou hast chosen the one lily: and of all the depths of the sea thou hast filled the one river: and of all the builded cities thou hast hallowed Sion unto thy self: and of all the fowls that are created, thou hast named the one dove: and of all the cattle that are made thou hast provided the one sheep: and among all the multitudes of flocks thou hast gotten the one people, and unto this people whom thou lovest, thou gavest the law, that is proved of all.
And now, O' Lord, why hast thou given this one people over unto many? And upon the one root thou hast prepared other, and why hast thou scattered thy one only people among many? which tread them down, yee which have ever withstand thy promises, and never believed thy commandments? And though thou werest enemy unto thy people, yet shouldest thou punish them with thine own hands. Now when I had spoke these words, the angel that came to me the night before, was sent unto me, and said unto me : Hear me, and harken unto the things that I say, and I shall tell thee more. And I said: Speak on my Lord. Then said he unto me: Thou art sore vexed and troubled for Israels sake. Lovest thou the people better than him that made thee? And I said: No Lord, but of very grief and compassion have I spoken. For my reigns pain me every hour, because I would have experience of the way of the most highest, and to seek out part of his judgement. And he said unto me: that thou mayest not. And I said: wherefore Lord? Where unto was I born then? Or why was not my mothers childbed then my grave? So I had not seen the misery and trouble of Jacob, and the travail of my people of Israel.
And he said unto me: Number me the things that are not yet come : gather me together the drops, that are scattered abroad: make me the flowers green again, that are withered: open me the thing that is closed: and bring me forth the winds, that are shut up: Show me the image of a voice, and then I shall declare the thing, that thou laborest to know. And I said: O' Lord, Lord, who may know these things, but he that hath not his dwelling with men? As for me I am unwise: how may I then speak of these things whereof thou asketh me? Then said he unto me: like as thou can do none of these things that I have spoken of, even so canest thou not find out my judgement, or in the end the love that I have promised unto my people. And I said: Behold O' Lord, yet art thou near unto them that have no end: and what shall they do that have been before me, or we that be now, or they that should come after us ? And he said unto me: I will liken my judgement unto a ring. Like as there is no slackness of the last, even so there is no swiftness of the first. So I answered and said: couldest thou not make those ( that have been made, and that be now, and that are for to come ) in one, that thou might show thy judgement the sooner? Then answered he me, and said: The creature may not hasten above the maker, nether may the world hold them at once, that shall be created.
And I said: Now hast thou said unto thy servant, that thou living maker hast made the creature living at once, and the creature bear it? even so might it now also bear them that be present, at once. And he said unto me: Ask the childbed of a woman, and say unto her: If thou bringest forth children, why doest thou not together, but one after another? Pray her therefore, to bring forth ten children at once. And I said: she can not, but must do it one after the other.
Then said he unto me: Even so have I given a childbed unto the earth, for those that be sown upon it by process of time. For like as a young child may not bring forth the things that belong to the aged, even so have I ordered the world which I have made.
And I asked and said: Seeing thou hast now given me the way, I will speak before thee: for our mother whom thou hast told me, is yet young, and now she draweth near unto age. He answered, me and said: Ask a woman that beareth children, and she shall tell thee. Say unto her: wherefore are not they ( whom thou hast now brought forth) like those that were before thee, but less of stature? And she shall answer thee: They that were born in the youth of strength, are of one fashion : and they that are born in the time of age ( when the childbed faileth) are otherwise. Consider now thyself, how that yee are less of stature, then those that were before you, and so are they that come after you, less then you, as the creatures that now begin to be old, and have passed over the strength of youth. Then said I: Lord I beseech thee, if I have found favor in thy sight, show thy servant, by whom doest thou visit thy creature?

Not long after this, sent the king a messenger of *Antioche, for to compel the Jews to alter the ordinances of their fathers and the law of God, to defile the temple that was in Jerusalem, and to call it the temple of Jupiter Olympius: and that they should be in Garizim, as those which dwell at the place of Jupiter the *herberous. This wicked sedition of the ungodly was heavy upon all the people: for the temple was full of voluptuousness, *bibbing and *boiling of the Heathen, of *ribauds and harlots together. The women went into the holy place, and bare in that was not lawful. The altar also was full of unlawful things, which the law forbiddeth to lay upon it. The Sabbaths were not kept, the other solemn feasts of the land were not regarded. To be plain, there durst no man be a known that he was a Jew. In the day of the kings birth they were compelled *parforce to offer: and when the feast of Bach was kept, they were constrained to wear garlands of ivy, and so to go about for the honor of Bachus.
Moreover through the counsel of Ptolemy, there went out a commandment in the next cities of the Heathen, that they should entreat the Jews in like manner: namely, to compel them for to do sacrifice after the laws of the Gentiles: and who so would not, to put them to death. A piteous thing was it to see. There were two women accused to have circumcised their sons, whom when they had led round about the city ( the babies hanging from their breasts ) they cast them down headlong over the walls. Some that were crept in to dens and kept the Sabath, were accused unto Philippe, and burnt in the fire: because that for the fear of God they kept the commandment so stiffly, and would not defend themselves. Now I beseech all those that read this book, that they refuse it not for all these falls of adversity: and judge the things ( that are happened ) for no destruction, but for a chastening of our people. And why? When God suffereth not sinners long to follow their own mind, but *shorthly, it is a token of his great loving kindness. For this grace have we of God more than other people, that he suffereth not us long to sin unpunished like other nations, that when the day of judgement cometh, he may punish them in the fullness of their sins. If we sin, he correcteth us, but he never withdraweth his mercy from us: and though he punish with adversity, yet doth he never forsake his people. But let this that we have spoken now with few words, be for a warning and exhortation of the Heathen. Now will we come to the declaring of the matter. Eleazar one of the principal Scribes, an aged man and of a well favored countenance, was constrained to gape with open mouth and to eat swines flesh. But he *desiring rather to die gloriously than to live with shame, he offered himself willingly to the martyrdom. Now when he saw that he must needs go to it, he took it patiently: for he was at a point with himself, that he would consent to no unlawful thing for any pleasure of life. They that stood by being moved with pity ( but not aright ) for the old friendship of the man, took him aside privately, and prayed him that he would let such flesh be brought him as were lawful to eat, and then to make a countenance as though he had eaten the flesh of the sacrifice like as the king commanded, for so he might be delivered from death: and so for the old friendship of the man, they showed him this kindness. But he began to consider his discreet and honorable age, his noble and worshipful *stoke, and how that from his youth up he had been of an honest and good conversation: yee and how constantly he had kept the ordinances and laws commanded by God, wherefore he gave them this answer, and said: Yet had I rather first be laid in my grave. For it becometh not my age ( sayeth he) in any wise to disassemble, whereby many young persons might think, that Eleazar being ninety years old were now gone to a strange life: and so through mine hippocracy ( for a little time of *a transitory life ) they might be deceived: by this means also should I defile mine age, and make it abominable. For though I were now delivered from the torment of men, yet should I not escape the hand of almighty God, neither alive or dead. Wherefore I will die manfully, and do as it becometh my age: Whereby I may peradventure leave an example of steadfastness for such as be young, if I with a ready mind and manfully die an honest death, for the most worthy and holy law.
When he had said these words, immediately he was drawn to the torment. Now they that led him and were mild alittle afore, began to take displeasure because of the words that he said: for they thought he had spoken them of a high mind. But when he was in his martyrdom, he mourned and said : Thou ( O' Lord ) which hast the holy knowledge, knowest openly: that where as I might be delivered from death, I suffer these sore pains of my body: but in my mind I am well content to suffer them, because I fear thee. Thus this man died, leaving the memorial of his death for an example, not only to young men, but unto all people, to be steadfast and manly

Of those also that were with Timotheus and Bachides, which fought against them, they slew twenty thousand, won high and strong holds, and divided more spoils: ever giving an equal portion unto the sick, to the fatherless to widows and to the aged persons. And when they had diligently gathered their weapons together, they laid them all in convenient places, and the remnant of the spoils brought they to Jerusalem. They slew Philarches that wicked person, which was with Timotheus, and had vexed many Jews. *And when they held the thanksgiving feast at Jerusalem for the victory, they burnt those that had set fire on the ports of the temple: namely Calisthenes, which was fled into an house: and so they got a worthy reward for their wickedness. As for that most ungracious Nicanor, which had brought a thousand merchants, to buy the Jews, he was through the help of the Lord brought down even of them he regarded not: in so much that he put off his glorious raiment, fled by sea, and came alone to Antioch, with great shame and dishonor, which he got through the destruction of his host. Thus he that promised the Romans to pay them their tribute, when he took Jerusalem: began now to say plainly , that God was the defender of the Jews, and therefore not possible to wound them, because they followed the laws that God had made

Now when Nicanor knew that Judas was in the country of Samaria, he thought with all his power to strike a field with him upon a Sabbath day. Nevertheless the Jews that were compelled to go with him, said: O do not so cruelly and unkindly, but hallow the Sabbath day, and worship him that seeth all things. For all this, yet said the ungracious person: Is there a mighty one in heaven, that commandeth the Sabbath day to be kept? And when they said: Yee the living God, the mighty Lord in heaven commanded the seventh day to be kept, he said: And I am mighty upon earth, to command them for to arm themselves, and to perform the kings business. Notwithstanding he might not have his purpose.
Nicanor had devised with great pride to overcome Judas, and to bring away the victory. But Maccabeus had ever a fast confidence and a perfect hope in God that he would help him, and exhorted his people, not to be afraid at the coming of the Heathen: but always to remember the help that had been shown unto them from heaven, Yee and to be sure now also, that almighty God would give them the victory. He spake unto them out of the law and the prophets, putting them in remembrance of the battles, that they had stricken afore, and made them to be of good courage.
So when their hearts were plucked up he showed them also the deceitfulness of the Heathen, and how they would keep no covenant nor oath. **Thus he weaponed them not with the armor of the shield and spear, but with wholesome words and exhortations. He showed them a dream also, where through he made them all glad, which was this: He thought that he saw Onias ( which had been high priest, a virtuous and loving man, sad and of honest conversation, well spoken, and one that had been exercised in Godliness from a child ) holding up his hands toward heaven, and praying for his people. After this there appeared unto him another man, which was aged, honorable and glorious. And Onias said: This is a lover of the brethren, and of the people of Israel. This is he that prayeth much for the people, and for all the holy city: Jeremy the prophet of God. He thought also that Jeremy held out his right hand, and gave him ( namely unto Judas ) a sword of gold, saying: Take this holy sword, a gift from God, wherewith thou shall smite down the enemies of the people of Israel.
And so they were well comforted through the words of Judas, and took courage unto them, so that the young men were determined in their minds to fight, and to bide stiffly at it: In so much that in the things which they took in hand, their boldness showed the same, because the holy city and the temple were in peril: for the which they took more care, then for their wives, children, brethren and kinsfolks. Again, they were in the city, were most careful for those which were to fight. Now when they were all in a hope that the judgement of the matter was at hand, and the enemies drew nye, the host set in array, the Elephants and the horsemen everyone standing in his place: Maccabeus considered the coming of the multitude, the ordinance of divers weapons, the cruelness of the beasts, and held up his hands toward heaven, calling upon the Lord that doeth wonders, which giveth not the victory after the multitude of weapons and power of the host ( but to them that please him ) according to his own will. Therefore in his prayer he said these words.
O' Lord, thou didst send thine Angel in the time of Ezekiah king of Judea, and in the host of Sennacherib slewest an hundred and eighty five thousand: send now also thy good angel before us ( O' Lord of heavens ) in the fearfulness and dread of thine mighty arm, that they which come against thy holy people to blaspheme them, may be afraid. And so he made an end of his words. Then Nicanor and they that were with him, drew nye with *shawmes and songs: but Judas and his company with prayer and calling upon God.
With their hands they smote, but with their hearts they prayed unto the Lord, and slew no less than thirty five thousand men: For through the present help of God they were gloriously comforted.
Now when they left off, and were turning away with joy, they understood that Nicanor himself was slain with other. Then they gave a great shout and cry, praising the Almighty Lord with a loud voice. And Judas ( *which was ever ready to spend his body and life for his citizens ) commanded to smite off Nicanors head, with his arm and hand, and to be brought to Jerusalem. When he came there, he called all the people, and the priests at the altar with those that were in the castle, and showed them Nicanors head, and his wicked hand, which he had presumptuously holden up against the temple of God. He caused the tongue also of the ungodly Nicanor to be cut in little pieces, and to be cast to the fowls, and the cruel mans hand to be hanged up before the temple.
So every man gave thanks unto the Lord, saying: Blessed be he, that hath kept his place undefiled.
As for Nicanors head, he hanged it up upon the castle, for an evident and plain token of the help of God. And so they agreed altogether, to keep that day holy, namely the thirtieth day of the month Adar, which in the *Syrian language is called the next day before Mardocheus day. Thus was Nicanor slain, and from that time forth the Jews had the city in possession: And here I will now make an end**(kjv = armed every one of them, not so much with defense of shields and spears, as with comfortable and good words) *shawmes (like an oboe; a double reed instrument)(kjv = *the chief defender of the citizens both in body and mind) *Syrian language (see kjv : as if Adar is given from Syrian)
Paul the prisoner of *Jesu Christ, and brother Timotheus.
Unto Philemon the beloved, and our helper, and to the beloved Appia, and to Archippus our fellow soldier and to the congregation of thy house.
Grace be with you and peace, from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
I thank my God, making mention always of thee in my prayers, when I hear of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesu, and toward all saints: so that the fellowship that thou hast in the faith is fruitful through knowledge of all good things, which are in you by Jesus Christ. And we have great joy and consolation over thy love: For by thee (brother) the saints hearts are comforted.
Wherefore though I be bold in Christ to enjoin thee, that which becometh thee: yet for loves sake I rather beseech thee, though I be as I am even Paul aged, and now in bonds for Jesu Christs sake. I beseech thee for my son Onesimus whom I begat in my bonds, which in time passed was to thee unprofitable: but now profitable both to thee and also to me whom I have sent home again. Thou therefore receive him, that is to say mine own bowels, whom I would fain have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the Gospell. Nevertheless, without thy mind, would I do nothing, that, that good which springeth of thee, should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
Haply he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever, not now as a servant: but above a servant, I mean a brother beloved, specially to me: but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and also in the Lord? If thou count me a fellow, receive him as myself. If he have hurt thee or oweth thee ought that lay to my charge. I Paul have written it with mine own hand. I will recompense it. So that I do not say to thee, how that thou owest unto me even thine own self. Even so brother, let me enjoy thee in the Lord. Comfort my bowels in the Lord. Trusting in thine obedience, I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do more than I say for. Moreover prepare me lodging: for I trust through the help of your prayers, I shall be given unto you. There salute thee, Epaphras my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesu, Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my helpers. The grace of our Lord Jesu Christ be with your spirits: Amen*Jesu: Hebrew for Jesus
