there shall never lack a man of the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab to stand before My face while the earth remains.

Joshua the son of Nun, who stands by you, he shall enter in there; strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

It is fit that an observant man and [one] diligent in his business should attend on kings, and not attend on slothful men.

Watch therefore, praying always that you may be counted worthy to escape everything that is about to happen, and to stand before the Son of Man."

[This translation omits this verse.]

And they came to Gedaliah into the land of Judah, to Mizpah, and gathered grapes, and very much summer fruit, and oil.

O vine of Sibma, as with the weeping of Jazer. Your branches are gone over the sea, they reached the cities of Jazer; destruction has come upon your fruits, [and] upon your grape gatherers.

And David passed on a little way from Ros; and behold, Ziba the servant of Memphibosheth [came] to meet him; and he had a couple of donkeys saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves, and a hundred [cakes of] raisins, and a hundred [cakes of] dates, and a bottle of wine.

Therefore will I weep as with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah; Heshbon and Elealeh have cast down your trees; for I will trample on your harvest and on your vintages, and all [your plants] shall fall.

Alas for me! For I have become as one gathering straw in harvest, and as [one gathering] grape-gleanings in the vintage, when there is no cluster for me to eat the first-ripe fruit: alas my soul!
