Olam 2

Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name <i>is</i> The LORD.

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed <i>be</i> the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, <i>in</i> a salt land and not inhabited.

Blessed <i>is</i> the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and <i>that</i> spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

The heart <i>is</i> deceitful above all <i>things</i>, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

I the LORD search the heart, <i>I</i> try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, <i>and</i> according to the fruit of his doings.

<i>As</i> the partridge sitteth <i>on eggs</i>, and hatcheth <i>them</i> not; <i>so</i> he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

A glorious high throne from the beginning <i>is</i> the place of our sanctuary.

O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, <i>and</i> they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
