They were full of pride and did what was disgusting to me: and so I took them away as you have seen.

So that, at the memory of these things, you may be at a loss, never opening your mouth because of your shame; when you have my forgiveness for all you have done, says the Lord.

עָשִׂ֔ית 'a.Sit “you have done”

And Pharaoh with his strong army and great forces will be no help to him in the war, when they put up earthworks and make strong walls for the cutting off of lives:

יַעֲשֶׂ֨ה ya.'a.Seh “he will do with”

But if a man is upright, living rightly and doing righteousness,

וְעָשָׂ֥ה (עָשָׂ֥ה) 'a.Sah “he will do”

Who has taken flesh with the blood as food, and has had connection with his neighbour's wife,

עָשָׂ֑ה 'a.Sah “he did”

And has given out his money at interest and taken great profits: he will certainly not go on living: he has done all these disgusting things: death will certainly be his fate; his blood will be on him.

עָשָׂ֖ה 'a.Sah “he has done”

But when the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, like all the disgusting things which the evil man does, will he have life? Not one of his upright acts will be kept in memory: in the wrong which he has done and in his sin death w
