The First Book of Clement
1Clem
[1]For Zion's sake will I not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her triumph go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a torch that burneth. [No book]
[2]And the nations shall see thy triumph, and all kings thy glory; and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ shall mark out. [No book]
[3]Thou shalt also be a crown of beauty in the hand of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, and a royal diadem in the open hand of thy God. [No book]
[4]Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken, neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate; but thou shalt be called, My delight is in her, and thy land, Espoused; for YHW delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be espoused. [No book]
[5]For as a young man espouseth a virgin, so shall thy sons espouse thee; and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. [No book]
[6]I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, they shall never hold their peace day nor night: 'Ye that are ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎'S remembrancers, take ye no rest, [No book]
[7]And give Him no rest, till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.' [No book]
[8]‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ hath sworn by His right hand, and by the arm of His strength: Surely I will no more give thy corn to be food for thine enemies; an strangers shall not drink thy wine, for which thou hast laboured; [No book]
[9]But they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of My sanctuary. [No book]
[10]Go through, go through the gates, clear ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway, gather out the stones; lift up an ensign over the peoples. [No book]
[11]Behold, ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth: say ye to the daughter of Zion: 'Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.' [No book]
[12]And they shall call them The holy people, the redeemed of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎; and thou shalt be called Sought out, a city not forsaken. [No book]
