¹¹ Where I sware in Mine anger, `If they come in unto My rest -- !'

³ for we do enter into the rest -- we who did believe, as He said, `So I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest -- ;' and yet the works were done from the foundation of the world,

²³ they see not the land which I have sworn to their fathers, yea, none of those despising Me see it;

⁵ and in this `place' again, `If they shall enter into My rest -- ;'

¹⁸ and to whom did He swear that they shall not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe? --

¹¹ so I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest -- !')

²⁸ `Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest,

²⁹ take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls,

¹⁶ Thus said Jehovah: Stand ye by the ways and see, and ask for paths of old, Where `is' this -- the good way? and go ye in it, And find rest for yourselves. And they say, `We do not go.'

⁹ for ye have not come in hitherto unto the rest, and unto the inheritance, which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee;

³⁴ `And Jehovah heareth the voice of your words, and is wroth, and sweareth, saying,

³⁵ Not one of these men of this evil generation doth see the good land which I have sworn to give to your fathers,

²⁸ say unto them, I live -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- if, as ye have spoken in Mine ears -- so I do not to you;

²⁹ in this wilderness do your carcases fall, even all your numbered ones, to all your number, from a son of twenty years and upward, who have murmured against Me;

³⁰ ye -- ye come not in unto the land which I have lifted up My hand to cause you to tabernacle in it, except Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua son of Nun.

¹³ And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, `Write: Happy are the dead who in the Lord are dying from this time!' `Yes, (saith the Spirit,) That they may rest from their labours -- and their works do follow them!'

⁴ Only, let no one strive, nor reprove a man, And thy people `are' as those striving with a priest.

⁵ And thou hast stumbled in the day, And stumbled hath also a prophet with thee in the night, And I have cut off thy mother.

⁶ Cut off have been My people for lack of knowledge, Because thou knowledge hast rejected, I reject thee from being priest to Me, And thou forgettest the law of thy God, I forget thy sons, I also!

⁷ According to their abundance so they sinned against Me, Their honour into shame I change.

⁸ The sin of My people they do eat, And unto their iniquity lift up their soul.

⁹ And it hath been, like people, like priest, And I have charged on it its ways, And its habitual doings I return to it.

¹⁰ And they have eaten, and are not satisfied, They have gone a-whoring, and increase not, For they have left off taking heed to Jehovah.

¹¹ Whoredom, and wine, and new wine, take the heart,

² and God completeth by the seventh day His work which He hath made, and ceaseth by the seventh day from all His work which He hath made.

³ And God blesseth the seventh day, and sanctifieth it, for in it He hath ceased from all His work which God had prepared for making.
