1 Observe ye⌉⌉ how the trees cover themselves with green leaves and bear fruit: wherefore give ye heed ⌈and know⌉ with regard to all ⌈His works⌉, and recognize how He that liveth for ever hath made them so. (ENO) 2 And ⌈all⌉ His works go on ⌈thus⌉ from year to year ⌈for ever⌉, and all the tasks which they accomplish for Him, and ⌈their tasks⌉ change not, but according as God hath ordained so is it done. (ENO) 3 And behold how the sea and the rivers in like manner accomplish and ⌈change not⌉ their tasks ⌈from His commandments⌉. (ENO) 4 But ye—ye have not been steadfast, nor done the commandments of the Lord, But ye have turned away and spoken proud and hard words With your impure mouths against His greatness. Oh, ye hard-hearted, ye shall find no peace. (ENO) 5a Therefore shall ye execrate your days, And the years of your life shall perish, And the ⌈years of your destruction⌉ shall be multiplied in eternal execration, And ye shall find no mercy. 6a. In those days ye shall make your names an eternal execration unto all the righteous, b. And by you shall ⌈all⌉ who curse, curse, ⌈And all⌉ the sinners ⌈and godless⌉ shall imprecate by you, 7c.
