The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs 10 — Simeon Chapter 3

The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

1And now, my children, 'hearken unto me and' beware of the spirit of deceit and of envy.

2For envy ruleth over the whole mind of a man, and suffereth him 'neither to eat nor to drink', nor to do any good thing.

3But it ever suggesteth (to him) to destroy him that he envieth; and so long as he that is envied flourisheth, he that envieth fadeth away.

4Two years 'therefore' I afflicted my soul with fasting in the fear of Yahuah (Lord), and I learnt that deliverance from envy cometh by the fear of Elohim (God).

That is the first paragraph of The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs 10
