The First Book of Clement
1Clem
[1]O give thanks unto ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples. [No book]
[2]Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak ye of all His marvellous works. [No book]
[3]Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎. [No book]
[4]Seek ye ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ and His strength; seek His face continually. [No book]
[5]Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth; [No book]
[6]O ye seed of Abraham His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones. [No book]
[7]He is ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ our God; His judgments are in all the earth. [No book]
[8]He hath remembered His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations; [No book]
[9]The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac; [No book]
[10]And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant; [No book]
[11]Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of you inheritance.' [No book]
[12]When they were but a few men in number. Yea, very few, and sojourners in it, [No book]
[13]And when they went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people, [No book]
[14]He suffered no man to do them wrong, yea, for their sake He reproved kings: [No book]
[15]'Touch not Mine anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.' [No book]
[16]And He called a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread. [No book]
[17]He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant; [No book]
[18]His feet they hurt with fetters, his person was laid in iron; [No book]
[19]Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ tested him. [No book]
[20]The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the peoples, and set him free. [No book]
[21]He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possessions; [No book]
[22]To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom. [No book]
[23]Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. [No book]
[24]And He increased His people greatly, and made them too mighty for their adversaries. [No book]
[25]He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants. [No book]
[26]He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron whom He had chosen. [No book]
[27]They wrought among them His manifold signs, and wonders in the land of Ham. [No book]
[28]He sent darkness, and it was dark; and they rebelled not against His word. [No book]
[29]He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. [No book]
[30]Their land swarmed with frogs, in the chambers of their kings. [No book]
[31]He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats in all their borders. [No book]
[32]He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land. [No book]
[33]He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; and broke the trees of their borders. [No book]
[34]He spoke, and the locust came, and the canker-worm without number, [No book]
[35]And did eat up every herb in their land, and did eat up the fruit of their ground. [No book]
[36]He smote also all the first-born in their land, the first-fruits of all their strength. [No book]
[37]And He brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was none that stumbled among His tribes. [No book]
[38]Egypt was glad when they departed; for the fear of them had fallen upon them. [No book]
[39]He spread a cloud for a screen; and fire to give light in the night. [No book]
[40]They asked, and He brought quails, and gave them in plenty the bread of heaven. [No book]
[41]He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they ran, a river in the dry places. [No book]
[42]For He remembered His holy word unto Abraham His servant; [No book]
[43]And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing. [No book]
[44]And He gave them the lands of the nations, and they took the labour of the peoples in possession; [No book]
[45]That they might keep His statutes, and observe His laws. Hallelujah. [No book]
