¹⁶ See what is recorded in the book of the Lord: all these will be there, not one without the other: the mouth of the Lord has given the order, and his spirit has made them come together.

⁹ For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever.

⁶ By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the army of heaven by the breath of his mouth.

⁸ Let this book of the law be ever on your lips and in your thoughts day and night, so that you may keep with care everything in it; then a blessing will be on all your way, and you will do well.

⁸ Now go, put it in writing before them on a board, and make a record of it in a book, so that it may be for the future, a witness for all time to come.

³⁵ If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken),

¹⁸ Truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth come to an end, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will in any way be taken from the law, till all things are done.

⁷ Certainly the Lord will do nothing without making clear his secret to his servants, the prophets.

¹⁴ Then the Lord will be your delight; and I will put you on the high places of the earth; and I will give you the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the Lord has said it.

¹² Give your heart to teaching, and your ears to the words of knowledge.

¹⁹ And so the words of the prophets are made more certain; and it is well for you to give attention to them as to a light shining in a dark place, till the dawn comes and the morning star is seen in your hearts;

³⁹ You make search in the holy Writings, in the belief that through them you get eternal life; and it is those Writings which give witness about me.

³³ Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.

¹⁶ Then those in whom was the fear of the Lord had talk together: and the Lord gave ear, and it was recorded in a book to be kept in mind before him, for those who had the fear of the Lord and gave thought to his name.

²⁰ But if your hearts are turned against me, I will send destruction on you by the sword; so the Lord has said.

²¹ Then when evils and troubles without number have overtaken them, this song will be a witness to them, for the words of it will be clear in the memories of their children: for I see the thoughts which are moving in their hearts even now, before I have taken them into the land of my oath.

¹⁷ For truly, I will send a great flow of waters over the earth, for the destruction from under the heaven of all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything on the earth will come to an end.
