9"'On the Sabbath day, offer two male lambs a year old without defect, and two tenths [of an ephah] of fine flour for a meal offering mixed with oil, and its drink offering. 10This is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.
11"'At the beginning of each of your months offer a burnt offering to Yahweh: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old without defect, 12and three tenths [of an ephah] of fine flour for a meal offering mixed with oil, for each bull; and two tenths of fine flour for a meal offering mixed with oil, for the one ram; 13and one tenth of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal offering to every lamb, as a burnt offering of a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 14Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bull, a third of a hin for the ram, and a quarter of a hin for a lamb. This is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year. 15Also, one male goat for a sin offering to Yahweh shall be offered in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.
16"'In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is Yahweh's Passover. 17On the fifteenth day of this month shall be a feast. Unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days. 18On the first day there'll be a holy convocation. Do no regular work, 19but offer an offering made by fire, a burnt offering to Yahweh: two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old. They are to be without defect, 20with their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil. Offer three tenths for a bull, and two tenths for the ram. 21Offer one tenth for every lamb of the seven lambs; 22and one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you. 23Offer these in addition to the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering. 24Offer daily in this way the food of the offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh for seven days. Let it be offered in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering. 25Have a holy convocation on the seventh day. Do no regular work.

8In the morning came the word of Yahweh to me, saying, 9Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, What are you doing?
10Say to them, Thus says LordOfMine Yahweh: This burden [concerns] the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.
11Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done to them; they shall go into exile, into captivity.
12The prince who is among them shall bear on his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out that way: he shall cover his face, because he shall not see the land with his eyes. 13I will also spread my net on him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, though he will die there. 14I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
15They shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries. 16But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
17Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 18Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with fearfulness; 19and tell the people of the land, Thus says LordOfMine Yahweh concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread in fear, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, of all that is in it, because of the violence of all those who dwell there. 20The cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
21The word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 22Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails? 23Tell them therefore, Thus says LordOfMine Yahweh: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but tell them, The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision. 24For there shall no longer be any empty vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel. 25For I am Yahweh; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed; it shall be no more deferred: for in your days, rebellious house, I will speak the word, and will perform it, says LordOfMine Yahweh.
26Again the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 27Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he sees is for many day to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.
28Therefore tell them, Thus says LordOfMine Yahweh: None of my words shall be deferred any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, says LordOfMine Yahweh.
1The word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 2"Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, 'Hear Yahweh's word: 3LordOfMine Yahweh says, "Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! 4Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places. 5You have not gone up into the gaps, neither built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of Yahweh. 6They have seen emptiness and lying divination, who say, 'Yahweh says'; but Yahweh has not sent them: and they have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed. 7Haven't you seen an empty vision, and haven't you spoken a lying divination, in that you say, 'Yahweh says'; but I have not spoken?"
8"'Therefore LordOfMine Yahweh says: "Because you have spoken emptiness, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you", says LordOfMine Yahweh. 9My hand shall be against the prophets who see emptiness, and divine lies: they won't be in the council of my people, nor will they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, nor will they enter into the land of Israel; and you'll know that I am LordOfMine Yahweh.

A praise psalm by David.
1I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will praise your name forever and ever. 2Every day I will praise you. I will extol your name forever and ever. 3Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable. 4One generation will commend your works to another, and will declare your mighty acts. 5Of the glorious majesty of your honor, of your wondrous works, I will meditate. 6Men will speak of the might of your awesome acts. I will declare your greatness. 7They will utter the memory of your great goodness, and will sing of your righteousness. 8Yahweh is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving kindness. 9Yahweh is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works. 10All your works will give thanks to you, Yahweh. Your saints will extol you. 11They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk about your power; 12to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, the glory of the majesty of his kingdom. 13Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. Your dominion endures throughout all generations. Yahweh is faithful in all his words, and loving in all his deeds. 14Yahweh upholds all who fall, and raises up all those who are bowed down. 15The eyes of all wait for you. You give them their food in due season. 16You open your hand, and satisfy the desire of every living thing. 17Yahweh is righteous in all his ways, and gracious in all his works. 18Yahweh is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. 19He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them. 20Yahweh preserves all those who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. 21My mouth will speak the praise of Yahweh. Let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

1Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.
2Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision. 3For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in AnointedOne Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh; 4though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more: 5circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee; 6concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
7However, those things that were gain to me, I now consider as damage on account of AnointedOne. 8Yes most certainly, and I count all things as damage for the excellency of the knowledge of AnointedOne Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but filth, that I may gain AnointedOne 9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, what is of the law, but what is through faith in AnointedOne, the righteousness which is from God by faith, 10that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death, 11if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. 12Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by AnointedOne Jesus.
13Brothers, I don't regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, 14I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in AnointedOne Jesus. 15So let us, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you. 16Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let's walk by the same rule. Let us be of the same mind.
17Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example. 18For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of AnointedOne, 19whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things. 20For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also eagerly-expect a Savior, the Lord Jesus AnointedOne, 21who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
