Because, the eyes of the Lord, are towards the righteous, and his ears, unto their supplication,—Whereas, the face of the Lord, is against them that are doing mischievous things.
For, as touching Yahweh, seeing that , his eyes, are ever running to and fro throughout all the earth, to shew himself strong with them who are perfect toward himself, thou hast made thyself foolish over this,—for, from henceforth, there shall be with thee—wars.
Be openly confessing, therefore, one to another, your sins, and be praying in each other’s behalf,—that ye may be healed. Much availeth, the supplication of a righteous man, when it is energised:
Therefore will I set my face against them, Out of one fire, have they come forth But another fire, shall devour them,—So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh, by my setting my face against them;
a land which Yahweh thy God careth for,—continually are the eyes of Yahweh thy God upon it, from the beginning of the year, even unto the end of the year.
And I will set my face against you, And ye shall be smitten before your foes,-And be trodden down by them who hate you, And shall flee when no one is pursuing you.
I, also, will set my face against that man, and will cut him off out of the midst of his people,—because of his seed, hath he given unto Molech, seeing that he hath made unclean my sanctuary, even to the extent of profaning my holy name.
For I have set my face against this city, for calamity and not for blessing, Declareth Yahweh,—Into the hand of the king of Babylon, shall it be given up, and he will burn it with fire.
The person also that turneth unto mediums and unto oracles, in going unchastely after them, then will I set my face against that person, and will cut him off out of the midst of his people.
And, what man soever, there may be of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners that sojourn in their midst, that partaketh of any manner of blood, then will I set my face against the person that partaketh of the blood, and will cut him off from the midst of his people.
For who hath despised the day of small things? Yet shall they rejoice, when they see the plummet-stone in the hand of Zerubbabel,—these seven! The eyes of Yahweh, they are—running to and fro throughout all the earth.
