THE BIBLE
Translated out OF the original

Known as Our Mothers Bible"
Continued from Yesterday.

So And ye shall be left few in
number. whereas ye were as the
stars of heaven for multitude; be-
cause thou wourdest not obey the
voice of the Lord thy God.
So And it shalt come to pass.
that as the Lord retoiced over YOU
TO do you good, and to multiply
you; so the Lord will rejoice over
you to destroy you, and to bring
you to nought; and ye shall be
plucked from OFF the land whittier
thou gOest to possess it.
81 And the Lord shall scatter
thee amsng all people, Nfrom the
one end of the earth even unto the
other; and there thou shalt serve
other gods, which neither thou nor
thy fathers have known, even wood
and stone.
65 And among these nations
shalt. thou hnd no ease. neither
shall the sole of thy foot have rest :
but the Lord shall give thee there
trembling heart, and failing of
eyes and sorrow of mind:
65 And thy life shall hang in
doubt before thee; and thou shalt
fear day and night, and shalt have
none assurance Of thy life:
67 In the morning thou shalt
say. Would God it were event and
at even thou shalt say, Would God
1t were morning! for the fear OF
thine heart wherewith thou shalt
fear. and for the sight Of thine
eyes which thou shalt see.
6S And the Lord shall bring thee
into Egypt again with ships. by
the way whereof 1 spake unto
thee, Thou shalt see It no more
again: and there ye shall be sold
unto your enemies for bondmen and
oondwomen. and no man shall buy
you.
