Rh :And thy high places, because of sin, throughout all thy borders.
 * And thou, even of thyself, shalt discontinue from thy heritage
 * That I gave thee;
 * And I will cause thee to serve thine enemies
 * In the land which thou knowest not;
 * For ye have kindled a fire in My nostril,
 * Which shall burn for ever.


 * Thus saith the :
 * Cursed is the man that trusteth in man,
 * And maketh flesh his arm,
 * And whose heart departeth from the.
 * For he shall be like a tamarisk in the desert,
 * And shall not see when good cometh;
 * But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
 * A salt land and not inhabited.
 * Blessed is the man that trusteth in the ,
 * And whose trust the is.
 * For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters,
 * And that spreadeth out its roots by the river,
 * And shall not see when heat cometh,
 * But its foliage shall be luxuriant;
 * And shall not be anxious in the year of drought,
 * Neither shall cease from yielding fruit.


 * The heart is deceitful above all things,
 * And it is exceeding weak—who can know it?
 * I the search the heart,
 * I try the reins,
 * Even to give every man according to his ways,
 * According to the fruit of his doings.


 * As the partridge that broodeth over young which she hath not brought forth,
 * So is he that getteth riches, and not by right;
 * In the midst of his days he shall leave them,
 * And at his end he shall be a fool.


 * Thou throne of glory, on high from the beginning,
 * Thou place of our sanctuary,
 * Thou hope of Israel, the !
 * All that forsake Thee shall be ashamed;
 * They that depart from Thee shall be written in the earth,
 * Because they have forsaken the ,
 * The fountain of living waters.


 * Heal me, O, and I shall be healed;
 * Save me, and I shall be saved;
 * For Thou art my praise.
 * Behold, they say unto me:
 * 'Where is the word of the ? let it come now.'
 * As for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd after Thee;
 * Neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest it;
 * That which came out of my lips was manifest before Thee.
 * Be not a ruin unto me;
 * Thou art my refuge in the day of evil.
 * Let them be ashamed that persecute me, but let not me be ashamed;
 * Let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed;
 * Bring upon them the day of evil,
 * And destroy them with double destruction.
