¹² And day having come, certain of the Jews having made a concourse, did anathematize themselves, saying neither to eat nor to drink till they may kill Paul;

³⁰ and a plot having been intimated to me against this man -- about to be of the Jews -- at once I sent unto thee, having given command also to the accusers to say the things against him before thee; be strong.'

²¹ thou, therefore, mayest thou not yield to them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who did anathematize themselves -- not to eat nor to drink till they kill him, and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from thee.'

¹⁴ who having come near to the chief priests and to the elders said, `With an anathema we did anathematize ourselves -- to taste nothing till we have killed Paul;

¹⁹ And I `am' as a trained lamb brought to slaughter, And I have not known That against me they have devised devices: We destroy the tree with its food, and cut him off From the land of the living, And his name is not remembered again.

⁴ and they consulted together that they might take Jesus by guile, and kill `him',

⁷⁴ Then began he to anathematise, and to swear -- `I have not known the man;' and immediately did a cock crow,

²⁵ and all the people answering said, `His blood `is' upon us, and upon our children!'

²³ and he sware to her -- `Whatever thou mayest ask me, I will give to thee -- unto the half of my kingdom.'

²⁴ And she, having gone forth, said to her mother, `What shall I ask for myself?' and she said, `The head of John the Baptist;'

²⁵ and having come in immediately with haste unto the king, she asked, saying, `I will that thou mayest give me presently, upon a plate, the head of John the Baptist.'

²⁶ And the king -- made very sorrowful -- because of the oaths and of those reclining (at meat) with him, would not put her away,

³ asking favour against him, that he may send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to put him to death in the way.

²² if any one doth not love the Lord Jesus Christ -- let him be anathema! The Lord hath come!

¹³ Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, `Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,'

⁹ Be friends, O nations, and be broken, And give ear, all ye far off ones of earth, Gird yourselves, and be broken, Gird yourselves, and be broken.

¹⁰ Take counsel, and it is broken, Speak a word, and it doth not stand, Because of Emmanu-El!'

² Hidest me from the secret counsel of evil doers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.

³ Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow -- a bitter word.

⁴ To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not.

⁵ They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, `Who doth look at it?'

⁶ They search out perverse things, `We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart `are' deep.

¹³ For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear `is' round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,

²⁶ And Joshua adjureth `them' at that time, saying, `Cursed `is' the man before Jehovah who raiseth up and hath built this city, `even' Jericho; in his first-born he doth lay its foundation, and in his youngest he doth set up its doors;'

¹ And the sons of Israel commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, taketh of the devoted thing, and the anger of Jehovah burneth against the sons of Israel.

¹⁵ and it hath been, he who is captured with the devoted thing is burnt with fire, he and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he hath done folly in Israel.'

²⁴ And the men of Israel have been distressed on that day, and Saul adjureth the people, saying, `Cursed `is' the man who eateth food till the evening, and I have been avenged of mine enemies;' and none of the people hath tasted food.

²⁷ And Jonathan hath not heard of his father's adjuring the people, and putteth forth the end of the rod, which `is' in his hand, and dippeth it in the honeycomb, and bringeth back his hand unto his mouth -- and his eyes see!

²⁸ And a man of the people answereth and saith, `Thy father certainly adjured the people, saying, Cursed `is' the man who eateth food to-day; and the people are weary.'

⁴⁰ And he saith unto all Israel, `Ye -- ye are on one side, and I and Jonathan my son are on another side;' and the people say unto Saul, `That which is good in thine eyes do.'

⁴¹ And Saul saith unto Jehovah, God of Israel, `Give perfection;' and Jonathan and Saul are captured, and the people went out.

⁴² And Saul saith, `Cast between me and Jonathan my son;' and Jonathan is captured.

⁴³ And Saul saith unto Jonathan, `Declare to me, what hast thou done?' and Jonathan declareth to him, and saith, `I certainly tasted with the end of the rod that `is' in my hand a little honey; lo, I die!'

⁴⁴ And Saul saith, `Thus doth God do, and thus doth He add, for thou dost certainly die, Jonathan.'

² and Jezebel sendeth a messenger unto Elijah, saying, `Thus doth the gods, and thus do they add, surely about this time to-morrow, I make thy life as the life of one of them.'

³¹ And he saith, `Thus doth God do to me, and thus He doth add -- if it remain -- the head of Elisha son of Shaphat -- upon him this day.'

²⁹ are laying hold on their brethren, their honourable ones, and coming in to an execration, and in to an oath, to walk in the law of God, that was given by the hand of Moses, servant of God, and to observe and to do all the commands of Jehovah our Lord, and His judgments, and His statutes;

¹ Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?

² Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:

³ `Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.'

²⁹ `No devoted thing, which is devoted of man, is ransomed, it is surely put to death.
