And «maketh flesh his arm,
And whose heart 'departeth from J the Lorp.
6 For he -shall_be like the ) heath in the desert, ~
And shall not see when good

But -shall_inhabit the parched_ places in the wilderness,
In a salt land and not inhabited.
7 sBlessed is the s¢man that 'trust- eth in J the Lorp,
And whose ¢ hope ‘the Lorn ‘is.
8 For he -shall_be as a tree planted by the waters,
And that tspreadeth_out her roots by the sriver,
And shall not /see when heat tcometh,
But her leaf -shall_be green; and shall not be_careful in the_year_ of drought,
Neither shall_cease from yielding fruit. .

And «i in desperately_wicked :
Who tcan know it?
10 ¥ Jthe Lorp «search the heart,
I +try the reins,
Even to give every_man according_ to his ways,
And according_to the_fruit_of his doings.
ll As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth thei not ;
So he_that_getteth riches, and not by right,
Shall_leave them in the_midst_of his days,
And at his end shall_be a fool.

16 As for me, I -haye not hastened from being a pastor to follow Thee:

2 Neither tcarry_forth a burden out_ of your houses on the sabbath day, neither 'do ye any work, but shallow ye the sabbath day, «as I commanded your «fathers.
23 But they obeyed not, neither in- clined their eear, but made their «neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor re- ceive instruction. :
24 And it »shall_come_to_pass, if is diligently hearken unto Me, +saith / ¢ Lorp, to bring in no burden through the_gates_of this xcity on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath «day, to do no work therein ;

26 And they *shall_come from the_ cities_of Judah, and from the places_ about Jerusalem, and from the_land_of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the -mountains, and from the south, bringing «-burnt_offerings, and -sacri- fices, and 9-meat_offerings, and /in- cense, and bringing -sacrifices_of_praise, unto the_house_of J the Lorp.
27 But if ye will not hearken unto Me to hallow the sabbath «day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the_ gates_of Jerusalem on the sabbath day ; then -will_I_kindle a fire in the_gates thereof, and it -shall.deyour the_pa- laces_of Jerusalem, and it shall not be_ quenched.
