And they heard the sound of Jehovah God walking around in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God among the trees of the garden.

And he said, I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.

And the man said, The woman whom You gave to be with me, she has given to me of the tree, and I ate.

So Jehovah God said to the serpent: Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all beasts, and more than every living thing of the field; on your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

To the woman He said: I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.

Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, and you shall eat the plants of the field.

And they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

And when her mourning was passed, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done caused the eyes of Jehovah to quiver.

And Jehovah sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him: There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor.

But the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb which he had bought and nourished; and it grew up together with him and with his children. It ate of his own food and drank from his own cup and lay in his bosom; and it was like a daughter to him.

And David's anger burned greatly against the man, and he said to Nathan, As Jehovah lives, the man who has done this is a son of death!

And Nathan said to David, You are the man! Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.

Why have you despised the Word of Jehovah, to do evil in His eyes? You have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.

Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up evil against you from your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the eyes of the sun.

And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of Jabesh Gilead who had stolen them from the town square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hung them up, after the Philistines had struck down Saul in Gilboa.

And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin in Zelah, in the tomb of Kish his father. Thus they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land.

He who covers his sins shall not prosper; but he who confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy.

For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry and struck him; I hid Myself and was angry, and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.

I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, saying, You have chastised me, and I was chastised, like an untrained bull; draw me back, and I shall return. For You are Jehovah my God.

Surely after I was turned back, I repented; and after I was instructed, I struck my thigh. I was ashamed, yes, even humiliated, because I bore the reproach of my youth.

And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the husks that the swine ate, and no one gave to him.

Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am weak; O Jehovah, heal me, for my bones are anxious.

Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am in trouble; my eye has wasted away with grief; even my soul and my belly.

For my life has been spent with grief, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones have wasted away.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your anger, nor peace within myself because of my sin.

Make me to hear joy and gladness, that the bones which You have broken may rejoice.

For my days have vanished like smoke, and my bones are burned like a firebrand.

Because of the sound of my groaning my bones cling to my skin.

My bones are pierced in me at night, and my gnawing pains take no rest.

My skin has grown black on me; my bones are burned with dryness.

Judah went into captivity under affliction and hard labor. She dwells among the nations; she finds no rest; all her pursuers have overtaken her between the straits.

He has wasted my flesh and my skin; He has broken my bones.

i1 [To the Chief Musician. Aijeleth Shahar. A Psalm of David.] i0 par My Mighty God, My Mighty God, why have You forsaken Me, and are far from My deliverance, and from the words of My groaning?

I am feeble and severely broken; I have roared because of the groanings of my heart.

For my sighing comes before my food, and my groanings pour out like waters.

Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets like a wild animal in a net, filled with the fury of Jehovah, the rebuke of your God.

We all roar like bears, and mourn with moaning like doves; we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.

Also when I cry and shout, He shuts out my prayer.

And they have not cried to Me with their heart, when they wailed on their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and wine; they turn aside from Me.
