After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day [of his birth],

Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.

"Their throat is an opened grave; with their tongues they deceived"; " [the] poison of asps is under their lips";

And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

For it pleased [the Father that] in Him all the fullness should dwell,

For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;

For a tabernacle was prepared: the first [part], in which [were] both the lampstand and the table and the showbread, which is called the holy place;

But Christ came [as] a High Priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.

Not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered once for all into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption.

For Christ did not enter into [the] holies made by hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf;

And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they went up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched them.

Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the earth and to the sea! Because the devil was thrown down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time."

"Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced judgment for you against her!"

After these things I heard as [it were] a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God!

And a second [one] said, "Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up forever and ever!"

Then a voice came from the throne, saying, "Praise our God, all His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!"

But you have come to Zion, to the Mountain and city of the living God, to a heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,

to the general assembly and church of the firstborn having been enrolled in [the] heavens, to God the Judge of all, and to spirits of just men made perfect,
