עֵקֶב

And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:

As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.

And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.

Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.

Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.

I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.

By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.

Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
