He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

Among these nations you will find no ease, and there will be no rest for the sole of your foot; but Yahweh will give you there a trembling heart, failing of eyes, and pining of soul.

Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.

The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hope of the wicked will perish.

I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall. They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you,” says Yahweh.

After the sixty-two weeks the Anointed One will be cut off, and will have nothing. The people of the prince who come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end will be with a flood, and war will be even to the end. Desolations are determined.

He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”

He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

Moses said to Yahweh, “Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why haven’t I found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me?

Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people. Your eyes will look, and fail with longing for them all day long. There will be no power in your hand.

“Why didn’t I die from the womb? Why didn’t I give up the spirit when my mother bore me?

But the eyes of the wicked will fail. They will have no way to flee. Their hope will be the giving up of the spirit.”

But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?

He will be rooted out of the security of his tent. He will be brought to the king of terrors.

For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?

For it hurls at him, and does not spare, as he flees away from his hand.

Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is among them, in their dwelling.

What the wicked fear, will overtake them, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.

When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, and expectation of power comes to nothing.

The wicked are overthrown, and are no more, but the house of the righteous shall stand.

Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness.

Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest.

If a man fathers a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not filled with good, and moreover he has no burial; I say, that a stillborn child is better than he:

Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees;

Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife, and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet every one of them curses me.

Yahweh, you know. Remember me, visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors. You are patient, so don’t take me away. Know that for your sake I have suffered reproach.

Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me.

Yahweh, you have seen my wrong. Judge my cause.

Our eyes still fail, looking in vain for our help. In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.

he who hasn’t lent to them with interest, hasn’t taken any increase from them, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man,

Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won’t strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;

Misery is mine! Indeed, I am like one who gathers the summer fruits, as gleanings of the vineyard: There is no cluster of grapes to eat. My soul desires to eat the early fig.

I will pour on David’s house, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.
