¹⁶ The man who wanders out of the way of understanding Shall rest in the assembly of the dead.

¹⁴ They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, Far from their mansion.

¹² These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

¹⁹ They went out from us, but they didn't belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.

²¹ For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

²² But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, "The dog turns to his own vomit again," and "the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire."

³⁸ But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."

²⁶ For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,

²⁷ but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.

⁴ For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,

⁵ and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come,

⁶ and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open shame.

¹ You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,

¹⁹ This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

⁶ those who have turned back from following Yahweh, and those who haven't sought Yahweh nor inquired after him.

²⁰ One who walks with wise men grows wise, But a companion of fools suffers harm.

¹⁸ But he doesn't know that the dead are there, That her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

²⁶ For she has thrown down many wounded. Yes, all her slain are a mighty host.

²⁷ Her house is the way to Sheol, Going down to the chambers of death.

¹⁸ For her house leads down to death, Her paths to the dead.

¹⁹ None who go to her return again, Neither do they attain to the paths of life:

⁵ But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
