6 Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, and chasten me not in thy hot displeasure.

² Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am withered; Jehovah, heal me, for my bones tremble.

³ And my soul trembleth exceedingly: and thou, Jehovah, till how long?

⁴ Return, Jehovah, free my soul; save me for thy loving-kindness' sake.

⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who shall give thanks unto thee?

⁶ I am wearied with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I dissolve my couch with my tears.

⁷ Mine eye wasteth away through grief; it hath grown old because of all mine oppressors.

⁸ Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.

⁹ Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah receiveth my prayer.

¹⁰ All mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.

6 And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too strait for us.

² Let us go, we pray thee, to the Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he said, Go.

⁴ And he went with them. And they came to the Jordan and cut down the trees.

⁵ And it came to pass as one was felling a beam, that the iron fell into the water; and he cried and said, Alas, master, and it was borrowed!

⁶ And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and made the iron to swim.

⁷ And he said, Take [it] up to thee. And he put out his hand and took it.

¹³ Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

¹⁴ But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

¹⁵ And *thou*, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades.

¹⁶ He that hears you hears me; and he that rejects you rejects me; and he that rejects me rejects him that sent me.
