The First Book of Clement
1Clem
[1]Thus saith ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎: Keep ye justice, and do righteousness; for My salvation is near to come, and My favour to be revealed. [No book]
[2]Happy is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that holdeth fast by it: that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. [No book]
[3]Neither let the alien, that hath joined himself to ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, speak, saying: '‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ will surely separate me from Hi people'; neither let the eunuch say: 'Behold, I am a dry tree.' [No book]
[4]For thus saith ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ concerning the eunuchs that keep My sabbaths, and choose the things that please Me, and hold fast by My covenant: [No book]
[5]Even unto them will I give in My house and within My walls a monument and a memorial better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting memorial, that shall not be cut off. [No book]
[6]Also the aliens, that join themselves to ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, to minister unto Him, and to love the name of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, to be His servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast by My covenant: [No book]
[7]Even them will I bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon Mine altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples. [No book]
[8]Saith the Lord ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ who gathereth the dispersed of Israel: yet I will gather others to him, beside those of him that are gathered. [No book]
[9]All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest. [No book]
[10]His watchmen are all blind, without knowledge; they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; raving, lying down, loving to slumber. [No book]
[11]Yea, the dogs are greedy, they know not when they have enough; and these are shepherds that cannot understand; they all turn to their own way, each one to his gain, one and all. [No book]
[12]'Come ye, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to-morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.' [No book]
