The Koine Bible

And Elious, continuing, still says:

Wait for me a little still, that I may teach you, for there is still a word in me.

I will take up my knowledge from afar, and my works I will speak as righteous.

For truly, and not unjustly, you understand unjust words.

Know then that the Lord will by no means cast off the blameless one, mighty in strength of heart

He will not keep the ungodly alive, and he will give judgment for the poor.

He will not remove his eyes from the righteous, and with kings, even to a throne, and he will seat them, and they will be lifted up.

And if they are bound in manacles, they will be restrained in cords of poverty

and he will declare to them their works and their transgressions, because they are strong

But he will listen to the righteous, and he said that they will turn back from injustice

If they hear and serve, they will complete their days in good things, and their years in pleasantness.

But the ungodly he does not save, because they are not willing to know the Lord, and because, though being admonished, they were disobedient

And hypocrites in heart will heap up wrath; they will not cry out, because he has bound them.

Let their soul die in youth, and their life being wounded by angels

Because they oppressed the weak and helpless, he will set forth the justice of the meek.

And moreover he has deceived you, from the mouth of the enemy, an abyss, outpouring beneath it, and your table has gone down, full of fatness

But judgment will not be lacking from the righteous.

But wrath will be upon the impious because of the impiety of gifts which they received for injustices

Let not your mind willingly turn aside to prayers in distress, being powerless, and all those who strengthen might

Do not draw out the night for peoples to go up in their place.

But be careful, do not act perversely; for on account of this I have rescued you from poverty.

Behold, the Mighty One will strengthen by his power; for who is a ruler against him?

And who is the one examining his works, or who is the one having said, He has done unjust things?

Remember that his works are great, which men have begun.

Every man has seen in himself how many mortals are being wounded

Behold, the Mighty One is great, and we shall not know the number of his years, and without end.

For him the drops of rain are numbered, and they will be poured out as rain into a cloud.

The ancient things shall flow down; and he has spread clouds over the innumerable mortals.

And if he understands, the spreadings of the cloud, the equality of his tent.

Behold, he stretches out his lightning over it, and he has covered the roots of the sea.

For by them he will judge peoples; he will give food to the strong one.

He has covered light upon his hands and he has commanded concerning it in the one meeting it.

His friend possession will proclaim concerning him, and concerning injustice.
