I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Hattush.

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

وَمِنَ الشَّيَاطِينِ مَنْ يَغُوصُونَ لَهُ وَيَعْمَلُونَ عَمَلًا دُونَ ذَلِكَ وَكُنَّا لَهُمْ حَافِظِينَ

The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

εἶπαν οὖν αὐτῷ· Τίς εἶ; ἵνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶμεν τοῖς πέμψασιν ἡμᾶς· τί λέγεις περὶ σεαυτοῦ;

ἐκείνη πορευθεῖσα ἀπήγγειλεν τοῖς μετʼ αὐτοῦ γενομένοις πενθοῦσι καὶ κλαίουσιν·

Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.

Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!
