▁But ▁every ▁man ▁is ▁tested ▁when ▁he ▁is ▁turned ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁right ▁way ▁by ▁the ▁att ra ction ▁of ▁his ▁desire . ▁Because ▁if ▁any ▁man ▁is ▁a ▁he arer ▁of ▁the ▁word ▁and ▁not ▁a ▁do er , ▁he ▁is ▁like ▁a ▁man ▁looking ▁at ▁his ▁natural ▁face ▁in ▁a ▁gl ass ; ▁Then ▁turning ▁east ▁from ▁Sar id ▁to ▁the ▁limit ▁of ▁Ch isl oth - t abor , ▁it ▁goes ▁out ▁to ▁D ab er ath , ▁and ▁up ▁to ▁Jap h ia ; ▁And ▁their ▁limit ▁goes ▁as ▁far ▁as ▁T abor ▁and ▁Sh ah az im ah ▁and ▁Beth - s hem esh , ▁end ing ▁at ▁Jordan ; ▁six teen ▁towns ▁with ▁their ▁un w alled ▁places . ▁T urning ▁to ▁the ▁east ▁to ▁Beth - d ag on ▁and ▁stret ching ▁to ▁Zeb ul un ▁and ▁the ▁valley ▁of ▁I ph t ah - el ▁as ▁far ▁as ▁Beth - em ek ▁and ▁Ne i el ▁to ▁the ▁north ; ▁on ▁the ▁left ▁it ▁goes ▁as ▁far ▁as ▁C ab ul ▁This ▁is ▁the ▁heritage ▁of ▁the ▁tribe ▁of ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁As her ▁by ▁their ▁families , ▁these ▁towns ▁with ▁their ▁un w alled ▁places . ▁The ▁Lord ▁gives ▁decisions ▁in ▁righteousness ▁for ▁all ▁who ▁are ▁in ▁trouble . ▁All ▁day ▁my ▁hands ▁have ▁been ▁stretched ▁out ▁to ▁an ▁un cont rolled ▁people , ▁who ▁go ▁in ▁an ▁evil ▁way , ▁after ▁the ▁purposes ▁of ▁their ▁hearts ; ▁And ▁your ▁name ▁will ▁become ▁a ▁curse ▁to ▁my ▁people , ▁and ▁the ▁Lord ▁God ▁will ▁put ▁you ▁to ▁death , ▁and ▁give ▁his ▁servants ▁another ▁name : ▁For ▁every ▁house ▁has ▁a ▁build er ; ▁but ▁the ▁build er ▁of ▁all ▁things ▁is ▁God . ▁So ▁that ▁I ▁was ▁angry ▁with ▁this ▁generation , ▁and ▁I ▁said , ▁Their ▁hearts ▁are ▁in ▁error ▁at ▁all ▁times , ▁and ▁they ▁have ▁no ▁knowledge ▁of ▁my ▁ways ; ▁Who ▁made ▁him ▁angry ▁when ▁his ▁voice ▁came ▁to ▁them ? ▁was ▁it ▁not ▁all ▁those ▁who ▁came ▁out ▁of ▁Egypt ▁with ▁Moses ? ▁So ▁we ▁see ▁that ▁they ▁were ▁not ▁able ▁to ▁go ▁in ▁because ▁they ▁had ▁no ▁belief . ▁I ▁have ▁put ▁watch men ▁on ▁your ▁walls , ▁O ▁Jerusalem ; ▁they ▁will ▁not ▁keep ▁quiet ▁day ▁or ▁night : ▁you ▁who ▁are ▁the ▁Lord ' s ▁record ers , ▁take ▁no ▁rest , ▁It ▁is ▁right ▁for ▁you ▁to ▁do ▁this ▁for ▁him , ▁because ▁he ▁is ▁a ▁friend ▁to ▁our ▁nation , ▁and ▁himself ▁has ▁put ▁up ▁a ▁S yn ag og ue ▁for ▁us . ▁At ▁that ▁time , ▁he ▁made ▁a ▁number ▁of ▁people ▁free ▁from ▁their ▁diseases ▁and ▁their ▁p ains , ▁and ▁from ▁evil ▁spir its ; ▁and ▁to ▁others ▁who ▁were ▁blind ▁he ▁gave ▁back ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁their ▁eyes . ▁But ▁the ▁Ph ar ise es ▁and ▁the ▁teachers ▁of ▁the ▁law ▁were ▁against ▁the ▁purpose ▁of ▁God ▁for ▁themselves , ▁not ▁having ▁had ▁his ▁bapt ism .) ▁But ▁wisdom ▁is ▁judged ▁to ▁be ▁right ▁by ▁all ▁her ▁children . ▁If ▁a ▁man ▁takes ▁without ▁right ▁another ▁man ' s ▁ox ▁or ▁his ▁sheep , ▁and ▁put s ▁it ▁to ▁death ▁or ▁gets ▁a ▁price ▁for ▁it , ▁he ▁is ▁to ▁give ▁five ▁oxen ▁for ▁an ▁ox , ▁or ▁four ▁sheep ▁for ▁a ▁sheep , ▁in ▁payment : ▁the ▁th ief ▁will ▁have ▁to ▁make ▁payment ▁for ▁what ▁he ▁has ▁taken ; ▁if ▁he ▁has ▁no ▁money , ▁he ▁himself ▁will ▁have ▁to ▁be ▁exch anged ▁for ▁money , ▁so ▁that ▁payment ▁may ▁be ▁made . ▁If ▁a ▁man ▁makes ▁a ▁fire ▁in ▁a ▁field ▁or ▁a ▁vine - g ard en , ▁and ▁let s ▁the ▁fire ▁do ▁damage ▁to ▁another ▁man ' s ▁field , ▁he ▁is ▁to ▁give ▁of ▁the ▁best ▁produce ▁of ▁his ▁field ▁or ▁his ▁vine - g ard en ▁to ▁make ▁up ▁for ▁it . ▁And ▁he ▁will ▁have ▁to ▁give ▁back ▁four ▁times ▁the ▁value ▁of ▁the ▁lamb , ▁because ▁he ▁has ▁done ▁this ▁and ▁because ▁he ▁had ▁no ▁pity . ▁Why ▁then ▁have ▁you ▁had ▁no ▁respect ▁for ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁the ▁Lord , ▁doing ▁what ▁is ▁evil ▁in ▁his ▁eyes ? ▁You ▁have ▁put ▁U ri ah ▁the ▁H itt ite ▁to ▁death ▁with ▁the ▁sword , ▁and ▁have ▁taken ▁his ▁wife ▁to ▁be ▁your ▁wife ; ▁you ▁have ▁put ▁him ▁to ▁death ▁with ▁the ▁sword ▁of ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Am mon . ▁So ▁David ▁made ▁prayer ▁to ▁God ▁for ▁the ▁child ; ▁and ▁he ▁took ▁no ▁food ▁day ▁after ▁day , ▁and ▁went ▁in ▁and , ▁stret ching ▁himself ▁out ▁on ▁the ▁earth , ▁was ▁there ▁all ▁night . ▁My ▁servant ▁Moses ▁is ▁not ▁so ; ▁he ▁is ▁true ▁to ▁me ▁in ▁all ▁my ▁house : ▁Are ▁you ▁not ▁as ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁the ▁E thiop ians ▁to ▁me , ▁O ▁children ▁of ▁Israel ? ▁says ▁the ▁Lord . ▁Have ▁I ▁not ▁taken ▁Israel ▁up ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁land ▁of ▁Egypt , ▁and ▁the ▁Philistines ▁from ▁Cap h t or , ▁and ▁the ▁Aram ae ans ▁from ▁K ir ? ▁So ▁that ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁E dom ▁may ▁be ▁their ▁heritage , ▁and ▁all ▁the ▁nations ▁who ▁have ▁been ▁named ▁by ▁my ▁name , ▁says ▁the ▁Lord , ▁who ▁is ▁doing ▁this . ▁And ▁they ▁put ▁the ▁sons ▁of ▁Z ede k iah ▁to ▁death ▁before ▁his ▁eyes , ▁and ▁then ▁they ▁put ▁out ▁his ▁eyes , ▁and ▁ch aining ▁him ▁with ▁iron ▁band s , ▁took ▁him ▁to ▁Babylon . ▁Now ▁in ▁the ▁fifth ▁month , ▁on ▁the ▁seventh ▁day ▁of ▁the ▁month , ▁in ▁the ▁n inet eenth ▁year ▁of ▁Ne b uch ad ne zz ar , ▁king ▁of ▁Babylon , ▁Ne b u z ar ad an , ▁the ▁captain ▁of ▁the ▁armed ▁men , ▁a ▁servant ▁of ▁the ▁king ▁of ▁Babylon , ▁came ▁to ▁Jerusalem ; ▁But ▁he ▁let ▁the ▁po ore st ▁of ▁the ▁land ▁go ▁on ▁living ▁there , ▁to ▁take ▁care ▁of ▁the ▁v ines ▁and ▁the ▁fields . ▁The ▁two ▁pill ars , ▁the ▁great ▁water - ves sel ▁and ▁the ▁wheel ed ▁b ases , ▁which ▁Solomon ▁had ▁made ▁for ▁the ▁house ▁of ▁the ▁Lord : ▁the ▁brass ▁of ▁all ▁these ▁vessels ▁was ▁without ▁weight . ▁And ▁the ▁king ▁of ▁Babylon ▁put ▁them ▁to ▁death ▁at ▁R ib l ah ▁in ▁the ▁land ▁of ▁Ham ath . ▁So ▁Judah ▁was ▁taken ▁away ▁prison er ▁from ▁his ▁land . ▁But ▁in ▁the ▁seventh ▁month , ▁Ish ma el , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁N eth an iah , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁E lish ama , ▁of ▁the ▁king ' s ▁seed , ▁came ▁with ▁ten ▁men ▁and ▁made ▁an ▁attack ▁on ▁G ed al iah , ▁causing ▁his ▁death ▁and ▁the ▁death ▁of ▁the ▁Jews ▁and ▁the ▁Ch ald ae ans ▁who ▁were ▁with ▁him ▁at ▁M iz p ah . ▁So ▁they ▁will ▁be ▁like ▁the ▁morning ▁cloud , ▁like ▁the ▁de w ▁which ▁goes ▁early ▁away , ▁like ▁the ▁dust ▁of ▁the ▁grain ▁which ▁the ▁wind ▁is ▁driving ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁cr us hing - f lo or , ▁like ▁smoke ▁going ▁up ▁from ▁the ▁fire place . ▁I ▁will ▁come ▁face ▁to ▁face ▁with ▁them ▁like ▁a ▁bear ▁whose ▁young ▁ones ▁have ▁been ▁taken ▁from ▁her , ▁and ▁their ▁in most ▁hearts ▁will ▁be ▁broken ; ▁there ▁the ▁dog s ▁will ▁make ▁a ▁meal ▁of ▁them ; ▁they ▁will ▁be ▁wounded ▁by ▁the ▁beasts ▁of ▁the ▁field . ▁If ▁he ▁says , ▁It ▁is ▁well , ▁your ▁servant ▁will ▁be ▁at ▁peace : ▁but ▁if ▁he ▁is ▁angry , ▁then ▁it ▁will ▁be ▁clear ▁to ▁you ▁that ▁he ▁has ▁an ▁evil ▁purpose ▁in ▁mind ▁against ▁me . ▁And ▁Jonathan ▁said ▁to ▁David , ▁Come , ▁let ▁us ▁go ▁out ▁into ▁the ▁country . ▁And ▁the ▁two ▁of ▁them ▁went ▁out ▁together ▁into ▁the ▁open ▁country . ▁And ▁I ▁will ▁send ▁my ▁boy ▁to ▁have ▁a ▁look ▁for ▁the ▁ar row . ▁And ▁if ▁I ▁say ▁to ▁him , ▁See , ▁the ▁ar row ▁is ▁on ▁this ▁side ▁of ▁you ; ▁take ▁it ▁up ! ▁then ▁you ▁may ▁come ; ▁for ▁there ▁is ▁peace ▁for ▁you ▁and ▁no ▁evil , ▁by ▁the ▁living ▁Lord . ▁And ▁answer ing ▁Saul , ▁Jonathan ▁said , ▁He ▁made ▁a ▁request ▁to ▁me ▁that ▁he ▁might ▁go ▁to ▁Beth - le hem , ▁And ▁when ▁the ▁boy ▁came ▁to ▁the ▁place ▁where ▁the ▁ar row ▁was , ▁Jonathan , ▁cry ing ▁out ▁after ▁the ▁boy , ▁said , ▁H as ▁it ▁not ▁gone ▁past ▁you ? ▁O ▁my ▁God , ▁I ▁make ▁my ▁cry ▁in ▁the ▁day , ▁and ▁you ▁give ▁no ▁answer ; ▁and ▁in ▁the ▁night , ▁and ▁have ▁no ▁rest . ▁But ▁you ▁are ▁holy , ▁O ▁you ▁who ▁are ▁seated ▁among ▁the ▁pra ises ▁of ▁Israel . ▁Our ▁fathers ▁had ▁faith ▁in ▁you : ▁they ▁had ▁faith ▁and ▁you ▁were ▁their ▁sa vi our . ▁D og s ▁have ▁come ▁round ▁me : ▁I ▁am ▁shut ▁in ▁by ▁the ▁band ▁of ▁evil - do ers ; ▁they ▁made ▁w ounds ▁in ▁my ▁hands ▁and ▁feet . ▁Be ▁my ▁sa vi our ▁from ▁the ▁lion ' s ▁mouth ; ▁let ▁me ▁go ▁free ▁from ▁the ▁horns ▁of ▁the ▁cruel ▁oxen . ▁A ▁seed ▁will ▁be ▁his ▁servant ; ▁the ▁do ings ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁will ▁be ▁made ▁clear ▁to ▁the ▁generation ▁which ▁comes ▁after . ▁They ▁come ▁together , ▁they ▁are ▁waiting ▁in ▁secret ▁places , ▁they ▁take ▁note ▁of ▁my ▁steps , ▁they ▁are ▁waiting ▁for ▁my ▁soul . ▁By ▁evil - do ing ▁they ▁will ▁not ▁get ▁free ▁from ▁punishment . ▁In ▁wrath , ▁O ▁God , ▁let ▁the ▁peoples ▁be ▁made ▁low . ▁This ▁is ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁God : ▁This ▁design ▁will ▁not ▁come ▁about ▁or ▁be ▁effect ed . ▁Let ▁not ▁that ▁which ▁has ▁been ▁joined ▁together ▁by ▁God ▁be ▁part ed ▁by ▁man . ▁You ▁have ▁knowledge ▁of ▁what ▁is ▁said ▁in ▁the ▁law , ▁Do ▁not ▁put ▁any ▁one ▁to ▁death , ▁Do ▁not ▁be ▁unt ru e ▁in ▁married ▁life , ▁Do ▁not ▁take ▁what ▁is ▁not ▁yours , ▁Do ▁not ▁give ▁false ▁witness , ▁Do ▁not ▁get ▁money ▁by ▁deceit , ▁Give ▁honour ▁to ▁your ▁father ▁and ▁mother . ▁But ▁it ▁is ▁not ▁so ▁among ▁you : ▁but ▁who ever ▁has ▁a ▁desire ▁to ▁become ▁great ▁among ▁you , ▁let ▁him ▁be ▁your ▁servant : ▁For ▁truly ▁the ▁Son ▁of ▁man ▁did ▁not ▁come ▁to ▁have ▁servants , ▁but ▁to ▁be ▁a ▁servant , ▁and ▁to ▁give ▁his ▁life ▁for ▁the ▁salvation ▁of ▁men . ▁And ▁when ▁it ▁came ▁to ▁his ▁ears ▁that ▁it ▁was ▁Jesus ▁of ▁N az are th , ▁he ▁gave ▁a ▁cry , ▁and ▁said , ▁Jesus , ▁Son ▁of ▁David , ▁have ▁mercy ▁on ▁me . ▁And ▁Jesus ▁came ▁to ▁a ▁stop ▁and ▁said , ▁Let ▁him ▁come . ▁And ▁cry ing ▁out ▁to ▁the ▁blind ▁man , ▁they ▁said ▁to ▁him , ▁Be ▁comfort ed : ▁come , ▁he ▁has ▁sent ▁for ▁you . ▁If ▁my ▁heart ▁went ▁after ▁another ▁man ' s ▁wife , ▁or ▁if ▁I ▁was ▁waiting ▁secret ly ▁at ▁my ▁neighbour ' s ▁door ; ▁If ▁I ▁made ▁gold ▁my ▁hope , ▁or ▁if ▁I ▁ever ▁said ▁to ▁the ▁best ▁gold , ▁I ▁have ▁put ▁my ▁faith ▁in ▁you ; ▁( F or ▁I ▁did ▁not ▁let ▁my ▁mouth ▁give ▁way ▁to ▁sin , ▁in ▁putting ▁a ▁curse ▁on ▁his ▁life ; ) ▁For ▁fear ▁of ▁the ▁great ▁body ▁of ▁people , ▁or ▁for ▁fear ▁that ▁families ▁might ▁make ▁s port ▁of ▁me , ▁so ▁that ▁I ▁kept ▁quiet , ▁and ▁did ▁not ▁go ▁out ▁of ▁my ▁door ; ▁And ▁these ▁were ▁his ▁chief ▁men : ▁Az aria h , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Z ad ok , ▁was ▁the ▁priest ; ▁Az aria h , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁N athan , ▁was ▁over ▁those ▁in ▁authority ▁in ▁the ▁different ▁divisions ▁of ▁the ▁country ; ▁Z ab ud , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁N athan , ▁was ▁priest ▁and ▁the ▁king ' s ▁friend ; ▁Ah ish ar ▁was ▁contro ller ▁of ▁the ▁king ' s ▁house ; ▁Ad on ir am , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Ab d a , ▁was ▁over se er ▁of ▁the ▁forced ▁work . ▁... ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Ab in ad ab ▁in ▁all ▁Nap h ath - d or ; ▁his ▁wife ▁was ▁T aph ath , ▁the ▁daughter ▁of ▁Solomon . ▁Ge ber , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁U ri , ▁in ▁the ▁land ▁of ▁G ile ad , ▁the ▁country ▁of ▁S ih on , ▁king ▁of ▁the ▁Am or ites , ▁and ▁O g , ▁king ▁of ▁B ash an ; ▁and ▁one ▁over se er ▁had ▁authority ▁over ▁all ▁the ▁over se ers ▁who ▁were ▁in ▁the ▁land . ▁He ▁was ▁the ▁m aker ▁of ▁three ▁thousand ▁wise ▁say ings , ▁and ▁of ▁song s ▁to ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁a ▁thousand ▁and ▁five . ▁For ▁Mah l ah , ▁T ir z ah , ▁and ▁H og l ah , ▁and ▁M il c ah , ▁and ▁No ah , ▁the ▁daughters ▁of ▁Z el op he had , ▁took ▁as ▁their ▁husband s ▁the ▁sons ▁of ▁their ▁father ' s ▁brothers : ▁So ▁I ▁went ▁and ▁put ▁it ▁in ▁a ▁secret ▁place ▁by ▁Par ah , ▁as ▁the ▁Lord ▁had ▁said ▁to ▁me . ▁Then ▁after ▁a ▁long ▁time , ▁the ▁Lord ▁said ▁to ▁me , ▁Up ! ▁go ▁to ▁Par ah ▁and ▁get ▁the ▁band ▁which ▁I ▁gave ▁you ▁orders ▁to ▁put ▁there . ▁Say ▁to ▁the ▁king ▁and ▁to ▁the ▁queen - m other , ▁Make ▁yourselves ▁low , ▁be ▁seated ▁on ▁the ▁earth : ▁for ▁the ▁crown ▁of ▁your ▁glory ▁has ▁come ▁down ▁from ▁your ▁heads . ▁What ▁will ▁you ▁say ▁when ▁he ▁put s ▁over ▁you ▁those ▁whom ▁you ▁yourself ▁have ▁made ▁your ▁friends ? ▁will ▁not ▁p ains ▁take ▁you ▁like ▁a ▁woman ▁in ▁child b irth ? ▁In ▁the ▁day ▁of ▁my ▁trouble , ▁my ▁heart ▁was ▁turned ▁to ▁the ▁Lord : ▁my ▁hand ▁was ▁stretched ▁out ▁in ▁the ▁night ▁without ▁rest ing ; ▁my ▁soul ▁would ▁not ▁be ▁comfort ed . ▁Take ▁up ▁now ▁a ▁song ▁of ▁grief ▁for ▁the ▁ruler ▁of ▁Israel , ▁and ▁say , ▁And ▁one ▁of ▁her ▁little ▁ones ▁came ▁to ▁growth ▁under ▁her ▁care , ▁and ▁became ▁a ▁young ▁lion , ▁learning ▁to ▁go ▁after ▁beasts ▁for ▁his ▁food ; ▁and ▁he ▁took ▁men ▁for ▁his ▁me at . ▁They ▁made ▁him ▁a ▁prison er ▁with ▁h o ok s , ▁and ▁took ▁him ▁to ▁the ▁king ▁of ▁Babylon ; ▁they ▁put ▁him ▁in ▁the ▁strong ▁place ▁so ▁that ▁his ▁voice ▁might ▁be ▁sound ing ▁no ▁longer ▁on ▁the ▁mountains ▁of ▁Israel . ▁The ▁hearts ▁of ▁the ▁wise ▁are ▁in ▁the ▁house ▁of ▁we eping ; ▁but ▁the ▁hearts ▁of ▁the ▁foolish ▁are ▁in ▁the ▁house ▁of ▁joy . ▁Be ▁not ▁quick ▁to ▁let ▁your ▁spirit ▁be ▁angry ; ▁because ▁wrath ▁is ▁in ▁the ▁heart ▁of ▁the ▁foolish . ▁There ▁is ▁no ▁man ▁on ▁earth ▁of ▁such ▁righteousness ▁that ▁he ▁does ▁good ▁and ▁is ▁free ▁from ▁sin ▁all ▁his ▁days . ▁Then ▁Solomon ▁said , ▁O ▁Lord , ▁to ▁the ▁sun ▁you ▁have ▁given ▁the ▁heaven ▁for ▁a ▁living - place , ▁but ▁your ▁living - place ▁was ▁not ▁seen ▁by ▁men , ▁But ▁now ▁I ▁have ▁made ▁selection ▁of ▁Jerusalem , ▁that ▁my ▁name ▁might ▁be ▁there , ▁and ▁of ▁David , ▁to ▁be ▁over ▁my ▁people ▁Israel . ▁But ▁the ▁Lord ▁said ▁to ▁David ▁my ▁father , ▁You ▁did ▁well ▁to ▁have ▁in ▁your ▁heart ▁the ▁desire ▁to ▁make ▁a ▁house ▁for ▁my ▁name : ▁And ▁the ▁Lord ▁has ▁kept ▁his ▁word ; ▁for ▁I ▁have ▁taken ▁my ▁father ▁David ' s ▁place ▁on ▁the ▁seat ▁of ▁the ▁kingdom ▁of ▁Israel , ▁as ▁the ▁Lord ▁gave ▁his ▁word ; ▁and ▁I ▁have ▁made ▁the ▁house ▁for ▁the ▁name ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁the ▁God ▁of ▁Israel . ▁Wh atever ▁prayer ▁or ▁request ▁for ▁your ▁grace ▁is ▁made ▁by ▁any ▁man , ▁or ▁by ▁all ▁your ▁people ▁Israel , ▁whatever ▁his ▁trouble ▁may ▁be , ▁whose ▁hands ▁are ▁stretched ▁out ▁to ▁this ▁house : ▁And ▁as ▁for ▁the ▁man ▁from ▁a ▁strange ▁land , ▁who ▁is ▁not ▁of ▁your ▁people ▁Israel ▁but ▁comes ▁from ▁a ▁far ▁country ▁because ▁of ▁the ▁glory ▁of ▁your ▁name ▁and ▁your ▁strong ▁hand ▁and ▁your ▁out st ret ched ▁arm ; ▁when ▁he ▁comes ▁to ▁make ▁his ▁prayer , ▁turning ▁to ▁this ▁house : ▁Then ▁give ▁ear ▁from ▁heaven ▁to ▁their ▁prayer ▁and ▁their ▁cry ▁for ▁grace , ▁and ▁see ▁right ▁done ▁to ▁them . ▁You ▁whom ▁I ▁have ▁taken ▁from ▁the ▁ends ▁of ▁the ▁earth , ▁and ▁sent ▁for ▁from ▁its ▁f art hest ▁parts , ▁saying ▁to ▁you , ▁You ▁are ▁my ▁servant , ▁whom ▁I ▁have ▁taken ▁for ▁myself , ▁and ▁whom ▁I ▁have ▁not ▁given ▁up : ▁See , ▁I ▁will ▁make ▁you ▁like ▁a ▁new ▁grain - c r us hing ▁instru ment ▁with ▁teeth , ▁cr us hing ▁the ▁mountains ▁small , ▁and ▁making ▁the ▁h ills ▁like ▁dry ▁st ems . ▁So ▁that ▁they ▁may ▁see ▁and ▁be ▁wise ▁and ▁give ▁their ▁mind ▁to ▁it , ▁and ▁that ▁it ▁may ▁be ▁clear ▁to ▁them ▁all ▁that ▁the ▁hand ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁has ▁done ▁this , ▁and ▁that ▁the ▁Holy ▁One ▁of ▁Israel ▁has ▁made ▁it . ▁I ▁have ▁sent ▁for ▁one ▁from ▁the ▁north , ▁and ▁from ▁the ▁d aw n ▁he ▁has ▁come ; ▁in ▁my ▁name ▁he ▁will ▁get ▁rulers ▁together ▁and ▁go ▁against ▁them ; ▁they ▁will ▁be ▁like ▁dust , ▁even ▁as ▁the ▁w et ▁earth ▁is ▁stamp ed ▁on ▁by ▁the ▁feet ▁of ▁the ▁pot ter . ▁And ▁Ah ij ah , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Ah it ub , ▁brother ▁of ▁I ch ab od , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Ph ine has , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Eli , ▁the ▁priest ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁in ▁Sh il oh , ▁who ▁had ▁the ▁e ph od . ▁And ▁the ▁people ▁had ▁no ▁idea ▁that ▁Jonathan ▁had ▁gone . ▁Then ▁he ▁said ▁to ▁all ▁Israel , ▁You ▁be ▁on ▁one ▁side , ▁and ▁I ▁with ▁Jonathan ▁my ▁son ▁will ▁be ▁on ▁the ▁other ▁side . ▁And ▁the ▁people ▁said ▁to ▁Saul , ▁Do ▁whatever ▁seems ▁good ▁to ▁you . ▁Then ▁Saul ▁said ▁to ▁Jonathan , ▁Give ▁me ▁an ▁account ▁of ▁what ▁you ▁have ▁done . ▁And ▁Jonathan ▁gave ▁him ▁the ▁story ▁and ▁said , ▁C ertain ly ▁I ▁took ▁a ▁little ▁h oney ▁on ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁my ▁ro d ; ▁and ▁now ▁death ▁is ▁to ▁be ▁my ▁fate . ▁As ▁for ▁me , ▁my ▁agreement ▁is ▁made ▁with ▁you , ▁and ▁you ▁will ▁be ▁the ▁father ▁of ▁nations ▁without ▁end . ▁I ▁will ▁make ▁you ▁very ▁fert ile , ▁so ▁that ▁nations ▁will ▁come ▁from ▁you ▁and ▁kings ▁will ▁be ▁your ▁off s pr ing . ▁And ▁I ▁will ▁make ▁between ▁me ▁and ▁you ▁and ▁your ▁seed ▁after ▁you ▁through ▁all ▁generations , ▁an ▁e ternal ▁agreement ▁to ▁be ▁a ▁God ▁to ▁you ▁and ▁to ▁your ▁seed ▁after ▁you . ▁And ▁this ▁is ▁the ▁agreement ▁which ▁you ▁are ▁to ▁keep ▁with ▁me , ▁you ▁and ▁your ▁seed ▁after ▁you : ▁every ▁male ▁among ▁you ▁is ▁to ▁under go ▁circum c ision . ▁Take ▁a ▁book ▁and ▁put ▁down ▁in ▁it ▁all ▁the ▁words ▁I ▁have ▁said ▁to ▁you ▁against ▁Israel ▁and ▁against ▁Judah ▁and ▁against ▁all ▁the ▁nations , ▁from ▁the ▁day ▁when ▁my ▁word ▁came ▁to ▁you ▁in ▁the ▁days ▁of ▁Jos iah ▁till ▁this ▁day . ▁For ▁this ▁reason ▁the ▁Lord ▁has ▁said ▁of ▁Je ho i ak im , ▁king ▁of ▁Judah , ▁He ▁will ▁have ▁no ▁son ▁to ▁take ▁his ▁place ▁on ▁the ▁seat ▁of ▁David : ▁his ▁dead ▁body ▁will ▁be ▁put ▁out ▁to ▁under go ▁the ▁heat ▁of ▁the ▁day ▁and ▁the ▁cold ▁of ▁the ▁night . ▁And ▁I ▁will ▁send ▁punishment ▁on ▁him ▁and ▁on ▁his ▁seed ▁and ▁on ▁his ▁servants ▁for ▁their ▁evil - do ing ; ▁I ▁will ▁send ▁on ▁them ▁and ▁on ▁the ▁people ▁of ▁Jerusalem ▁and ▁the ▁men ▁of ▁Judah , ▁all ▁the ▁evil ▁which ▁I ▁said ▁against ▁them , ▁but ▁they ▁did ▁not ▁give ▁ear . ▁If ▁I ▁make ▁use ▁of ▁the ▁tong ues ▁of ▁men ▁and ▁of ▁angel s , ▁and ▁have ▁not ▁love , ▁I ▁am ▁like ▁sound ing ▁brass , ▁or ▁a ▁l oud - t ong ued ▁be ll . ▁L ove ▁is ▁never ▁t ired ▁of ▁waiting ; ▁love ▁is ▁kind ; ▁love ▁has ▁no ▁en v y ; ▁love ▁has ▁no ▁high ▁opinion ▁of ▁itself , ▁love ▁has ▁no ▁pride ; ▁But ▁when ▁that ▁which ▁is ▁complete ▁is ▁come , ▁then ▁that ▁which ▁is ▁in ▁part ▁will ▁be ▁no ▁longer ▁necessary . ▁When ▁I ▁was ▁a ▁child , ▁I ▁made ▁use ▁of ▁a ▁child ' s ▁language , ▁I ▁had ▁a ▁child ' s ▁feel ings ▁and ▁a ▁child ' s ▁thoughts : ▁now ▁that ▁I ▁am ▁a ▁man , ▁I ▁have ▁put ▁away ▁the ▁things ▁of ▁a ▁child . ▁And ▁the ▁Lord ▁said , ▁See , ▁they ▁are ▁all ▁one ▁people ▁and ▁have ▁all ▁one ▁language ; ▁and ▁this ▁is ▁only ▁the ▁start ▁of ▁what ▁they ▁may ▁do : ▁and ▁now ▁it ▁will ▁not ▁be ▁possible ▁to ▁keep ▁them ▁from ▁any ▁purpose ▁of ▁their s . ▁And ▁after ▁the ▁birth ▁of ▁She l ah , ▁Ar p ach sh ad ▁went ▁on ▁living ▁for ▁four ▁hundred ▁and ▁three ▁years , ▁and ▁had ▁sons ▁and ▁daughters : ▁And ▁after ▁the ▁birth ▁of ▁Ser ug , ▁Re u ▁went ▁on ▁living ▁for ▁two ▁hundred ▁and ▁seven ▁years , ▁and ▁had ▁sons ▁and ▁daughters : ▁And ▁after ▁the ▁birth ▁of ▁N ah or , ▁Ser ug ▁went ▁on ▁living ▁for ▁two ▁hundred ▁years , ▁and ▁had ▁sons ▁and ▁daughters : ▁And ▁death ▁came ▁to ▁Har an ▁when ▁he ▁was ▁with ▁his ▁father ▁T er ah ▁in ▁the ▁land ▁of ▁his ▁birth , ▁Ur ▁of ▁the ▁Chal de es . ▁Now ▁after ▁a ▁time ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Am mon ▁made ▁war ▁against ▁Israel . ▁And ▁Israel ▁sent ▁men ▁to ▁S ih on , ▁king ▁of ▁the ▁Am or ites , ▁the ▁king ▁of ▁H esh bon ; ▁and ▁Israel ▁said ▁to ▁him , ▁Let ▁me ▁now ▁go ▁through ▁your ▁land ▁to ▁my ▁place . ▁Then ▁she ▁said ▁to ▁her ▁father , ▁Only ▁do ▁this ▁for ▁me : ▁let ▁me ▁have ▁two ▁months ▁to ▁go ▁away ▁into ▁the ▁mountains ▁with ▁my ▁friends , ▁we eping ▁for ▁my ▁sad ▁fate . ▁So ▁that ▁I ▁may ▁give ▁effect ▁to ▁the ▁oath ▁which ▁I ▁made ▁to ▁your ▁fathers , ▁to ▁give ▁them ▁a ▁land ▁flow ing ▁with ▁milk ▁and ▁h oney ▁as ▁at ▁this ▁day . ▁And ▁I ▁said ▁in ▁answer , ▁So ▁be ▁it , ▁O ▁Lord . ▁For ▁I ▁gave ▁certain ▁witness ▁to ▁your ▁fathers ▁on ▁the ▁day ▁when ▁I ▁took ▁them ▁up ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁land ▁of ▁Egypt , ▁and ▁even ▁to ▁this ▁day , ▁getting ▁up ▁early ▁and ▁witness ing ▁and ▁saying , ▁Give ▁ear ▁to ▁my ▁voice . ▁For ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁your ▁gods ▁is ▁as ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁your ▁towns , ▁O ▁Judah ; ▁and ▁for ▁every ▁street ▁in ▁Jerusalem ▁you ▁have ▁put ▁up ▁alt ars ▁to ▁the ▁B a al ▁for ▁burning ▁perf um es ▁to ▁the ▁B a al . ▁46 ▁programmes ▁( two ▁programmes ▁in ▁each ▁District ) ▁have ▁been ▁carried ▁out ▁in ▁2014. ▁( i ) ▁The ▁Corporation ▁had ▁incurred ▁a ▁loss ▁of ▁Rs . ▁1, 5 6 9, 5 45 ▁from ▁tele c asting ▁a ▁t el ed rama ▁purchased ▁at ▁a ▁cost ▁of ▁Rs . ▁4, 3 75 ,000 ▁without ▁following ▁the ▁internal ▁control ▁method ology ▁for ▁the ▁purch ase ▁of ▁t el ed ram as ▁introduced ▁by ▁the ▁Corporation . ▁In come ▁from ▁disp osal ▁of ▁fixed ▁assets ▁1.2 .4 ▁Trade ▁& ▁Other ▁Re ce iv ables ▁4. ▁Minister ▁of ▁Local ▁Government ▁and ▁Provincial ▁Council s ▁In ▁2014, ▁several ▁animal ▁beh av ior ▁improvement ▁programs ▁were ▁conducted ▁to ▁improve ▁the ▁beh av ior ▁pattern s ▁of ▁animals . ▁In cent ive ▁program ▁for ▁office ▁workers ▁and ▁office ▁dri vers ▁3.

▁rot ation ▁around ▁a ▁point ▁is ▁assign ed ▁the ▁measure ▁of ▁3 60 deg . ▁This ▁is ▁called ▁a ▁part - to - part ▁ratio , ▁in ▁that ▁it ▁comp ares ▁the ▁s izes ▁of ▁different ▁parts ▁of ▁a ▁given ▁population . ▁Here ▁we ▁study ▁ex amples ▁with ▁focus ▁on ▁how ▁those ▁properties ▁appear ▁in ▁each ▁step ▁as ▁we ▁solve ▁equations . ▁In ▁our ▁ex amples , ▁the ▁unit ▁rate ▁of ▁cups ▁of ▁flour ▁to ▁cups ▁of ▁sugar ▁is ▁1.5 ▁and ▁the ▁unit ▁rate ▁of ▁dollars ▁to ▁hours ▁is ▁5 .5 . ▁But ▁what ▁if ▁we ▁substitute ▁2 ▁for ▁x : ▁we ▁get ▁7 ▁and ▁10. ▁It ▁if ▁is ▁sometimes ▁true , ▁give ▁an ▁example ▁when ▁it ▁is ▁true ▁and ▁when ▁it ▁is ▁false . ▁To ▁find ▁the ▁distance ▁represented ▁by ▁13 .7 ▁inches ▁on ▁the ▁m ap , ▁you ▁would ▁multiply ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁inches ▁by ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁miles

▁students ▁may ▁say ▁that ▁the ▁graphs ▁are ▁almost ▁the ▁same , ▁others ▁may ▁say ▁that ▁a ▁greater ▁percentage ▁of ▁students ▁in ▁the ▁second ▁class ▁prefer red ▁sal ad . ▁Also , ▁3 ( x + 9) = 72 ▁and ▁4 x -10 = 50 ▁are ▁equivalent , ▁because ▁they ▁have ▁the ▁same ▁solution ▁( x = 15 ). ▁Indeed , ▁the ▁task ▁is ▁to ▁find ▁the ▁values ▁of ▁the ▁unknown s ▁that ▁make ▁the ▁equation ▁true . ▁If ▁the ▁co ach ▁bought ▁2 ▁extra ▁large ▁p iz z as , ▁then ▁the ▁total ▁number ▁of ▁slic es ▁would ▁be : ▁You ▁paid ▁1,000 ▁won , ▁so ▁the ▁change ▁you ▁should ▁get ▁back ▁is ▁1,000 ▁won ▁- ▁850 ▁won ▁= ▁150 ▁won . ▁Not ice ▁how ▁this ▁reason ing ▁is ▁represented ▁and ▁expressed ▁in ▁algebraic ▁equations . ▁Se lling ▁price ▁of ▁barley ▁= ▁Cost ▁price ▁+ ▁Prof it ▁= ▁Rs . ▁150 ▁+ ▁Rs . ▁52 .5 ▁= ▁Rs . ▁202 .5 ▁So , ▁she ▁dec ides ▁to ▁sim ulate ▁shooting ▁25 ▁free ▁th rows . ▁Note ▁that ▁in ▁fraction al ▁form , ▁the ▁unit ▁rate ▁of ▁flour ▁to ▁sugar ▁is ▁3 /2 ▁and ▁the ▁unit ▁rate ▁of ▁sugar ▁to

▁involve ▁a ▁little ▁more ▁algebraic ▁thinking ▁than ▁the ▁set ▁of ▁problems ▁at ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁Chapter ▁1. ▁Of ▁course ▁this ▁is ▁a ▁subject ive ▁question , ▁but ▁students ▁should ▁learn ▁that ▁there ▁are ▁stat istical ▁measures ▁of ▁the ▁amount ▁of ▁confidence ▁the ▁rese arc her ▁can ▁put ▁in ▁these ▁graphs , ▁and ▁again , ▁that ▁use ▁of ▁those ▁measures ▁has ▁to ▁be ▁just ified ▁in ▁terms ▁of ▁the ▁context ▁Since ▁both ▁points ▁lie ▁on ▁the ▁same ▁line , ▁the ▁equations ▁der ived ▁from ▁sub stit uting ▁their ▁coordin ates ▁into ▁the ▁line ' s ▁equation ▁must ▁be ▁equivalent . ▁The ▁triangle ▁( ex cept ▁for ▁the ▁possibility ▁of ▁f li pping ▁in ▁the ▁line ▁AD B E ) ▁is ▁unique . ▁14 00 ▁toys ▁- ▁28 0 ▁toys ▁= ▁11 20 ▁toys ▁left ▁to ▁make ▁by ▁" e very thing " ▁we ▁mean ▁both

▁that , ▁when ▁sub stit uted , ▁does ▁not ▁give ▁the ▁same ▁result . ▁P iz za ▁A ▁is ▁a ▁12 ▁in ch , ▁and ▁P iz za ▁B ▁has ▁an ▁area ▁of ▁41 50 ▁in 2. ▁After ▁the ▁first ▁tri pl ing ▁(1 4 ▁years ),

PD MC ) ▁Post - dis charge ▁malaria ▁chemoprevention ▁( PD MC ) ▁is ▁the ▁administration ▁of ▁a ▁full ▁antimalarial ▁treatment ▁course ▁at ▁regular ▁intervals ▁to ▁children ▁admitted ▁with ▁severe

▁which ▁transmission ▁has ▁been ▁inter rupted ▁but ▁some ▁level ▁of ▁recept ivity ▁and ▁import ation ▁risk ▁remains . ▁Ac cept ability ▁No ▁direct ▁studies ▁have ▁evaluated ▁the ▁acceptability ▁of

CoV -2 ▁infection , ▁though ▁the ▁difference ▁was ▁not ▁stat ist ically ▁significant ▁( od ds ▁ratio ▁0.8 2, ▁95% ▁CI ▁0.5 4 ▁to ▁1.2 3) ; ▁this ▁trial ▁was ▁not ▁designed ▁to ▁evalu ate ▁effects ▁of ▁masks ▁as ▁source ▁control . ▁F E AR , ▁S T R ES S ▁AND ▁A N X I E T Y ▁Several ▁parents ▁reported ▁fear ▁and ▁anx i ety ▁when ▁the ▁time ▁came ▁to ▁feed ▁their ▁child . ▁When ▁assessing ▁the ▁impact ▁of ▁environmental ▁management ▁against ▁malaria , ▁it ▁is ▁important ▁that ▁the ▁testing ▁of ▁the ▁intervention ( s ) ▁under ▁investigation ▁be ▁conducted ▁spec if ically ▁for ▁the ▁purpose ▁of ▁preventing ▁or ▁contro lling ▁malaria ▁by ▁reducing ▁the ▁availability ▁and ▁product ivity ▁of ▁lar val ▁habit ats . ▁There ▁were ▁no ▁events ▁in ▁the ▁trial . ▁However , ▁there ▁is ▁limited ▁information ▁on ▁the ▁safety ▁and ▁efficacy ▁of ▁malaria ▁chemoprevention ▁in ▁children ▁> 15 ▁months ▁of ▁age ▁in ▁perennial ▁transmission ▁settings . ▁In ▁addition ▁to ▁invest ing ▁in ▁the ▁c ore ▁components ▁of ▁IPC ▁programmes , ▁streng thening ▁IPC ▁health ▁emergency ▁capacity ▁at ▁the ▁national ▁and ▁health -

SP ▁to ▁clear ▁existing ▁infections ▁and ▁prevent ▁new ▁ones ▁is ▁comp rom ised ▁in ▁areas ▁of ▁high ▁to ▁very ▁high ▁resistance , ▁the ▁intervention ▁still ▁reduces ▁low ▁birth weight ▁and ▁maternal ▁anaemia . ▁The ▁safety ▁and ▁impact ▁of ▁PMC ▁programmes ▁should ▁be ▁routine ly ▁monitored . ▁The ▁age ▁group ▁targeted ▁for ▁SMC ▁should ▁be ▁informed ▁by ▁the ▁local ▁age ▁pattern ▁of ▁severe ▁malaria ▁admissions . ▁In ▁human itar ian ▁emerg encies , ▁the ▁shel ters ▁provided ▁may ▁not ▁be ▁am en able ▁to ▁sp ray ing ▁and ▁there ▁may ▁be ▁higher ▁costs ▁associated ▁with ▁deploy ing ▁IRS ▁in ▁such ▁settings ▁than ▁in ▁more ▁st able ▁ones . ▁Justification ▁The ▁GDG ▁considered ▁the ▁low ▁certainty ▁of ▁evidence ▁and , ▁although ▁the ▁majority ▁of ▁the ▁evidence ▁was ▁in ▁the ▁adult ▁population , ▁felt ▁it ▁was ▁reason able ▁to ▁ext rap olate ▁from ▁what ▁had ▁been ▁observed ▁in ▁( young ) ▁adults . ▁Furthermore , ▁benefits ▁in ▁children ▁5 ▁and ▁under ▁are ▁likely ▁further ▁reduced ▁due ▁to ▁sub op t imal ▁adherence . ▁More ▁information ▁can ▁be ▁found ▁in ▁the ▁summary ▁of ▁contextual ▁factors ▁report ▁( B h att ara i ▁et ▁al ▁unpublished ▁evidence ) ▁and ▁the ▁civil ▁society ▁consult ation ▁report ▁( C S 4 ME ▁unpublished ▁evidence ). ▁The ▁L N MA ▁on ▁con val es cent ▁pl as ma ▁included ▁16 ▁RCTs ▁that ▁enrolled ▁16 ▁23 6 ▁patients ▁across ▁non -

No ▁undesirable ▁effects ▁were ▁identified ▁in ▁the ▁systematic ▁review . ▁Due ▁to ▁the ▁short - l ived ▁nature ▁of ▁the ▁insect ic ides ▁used , ▁space ▁sp ray ing ▁is ▁generally ▁cost ly ▁and ▁waste ful ▁of ▁resources . ▁Social ▁excl usion ▁and ▁lack ▁of ▁support ▁from ▁the ▁health - care ▁system ▁have ▁caused ▁many ▁mothers ▁to ▁aband on ▁their ▁children , ▁giving ▁them ▁up ▁to ▁the ▁care ▁of ▁neigh b ours ▁or ▁grand p arent s . ▁A ▁careg iver ▁ref ers ▁to ▁anyone ▁– ▁parents , ▁sp ous es , ▁other ▁family ▁members ▁or ▁friends ▁– ▁who ▁provides ▁inform al ▁care ▁as ▁opp osed ▁to ▁the ▁care ▁provided ▁by ▁formal ▁health - care ▁providers . ▁Such ▁f oci ▁may ▁be ▁the ▁result ▁of ▁particularly ▁high ▁vector ial ▁capacity , ▁laps ed ▁prevention ▁and ▁treatment ▁services , ▁changes ▁in ▁paras ites ▁that ▁make ▁the ▁current ▁strategies ▁less ▁effective , ▁or ▁re int rodu ction ▁of ▁malaria ▁paras ites ▁by ▁the ▁movement ▁of ▁infected ▁people ▁or ▁infected ▁mosquit oes . ▁Justification ▁when ▁moving ▁from ▁evidence ▁to ▁a ▁strong ▁recommendation ▁for ▁nirmatrelvir - r ir onavir ▁in ▁patients ▁with ▁non - severe ▁COVID -19 ▁at ▁high ▁risk ▁of ▁hospitalization , ▁the ▁GDG ▁emphasized ▁the ▁high ▁certainty ▁evidence ▁demonst r ating ▁a ▁reduction ▁in ▁absolute ▁risk ▁for ▁hospitalization ▁and ▁death ▁without ▁an ▁increase ▁in ▁adverse ▁effects . ▁L au nder ing ▁includes ▁the ▁handling , ▁sort ing ▁and ▁was hing / d ry ing ▁published ▁21 ▁December ▁2023 ▁practical ▁info ▁implementation ▁consideration ▁bed ▁lin en ▁and ▁clothing ▁should ▁be ▁changed ▁regular ly ▁and ▁when ▁so iled . ▁Cond itional ▁recommendation ▁against , ▁very ▁low ▁certainty ▁evidence ▁space ▁sp ray ing ▁space ▁sp ray ing ▁is ▁not ▁recommended ▁for ▁the ▁prevention ▁and ▁control ▁of ▁malaria ▁in ▁children ▁and ▁adults ▁in ▁areas ▁with ▁ongoing ▁malaria ▁transmission ; ▁IRS ▁or ▁ITNs ▁should ▁be ▁prior it ized ▁instead . ▁M ask ▁use ▁in ▁the ▁community ▁B ack ground ▁To ▁assist ▁national ▁and ▁global ▁efforts ▁to ▁end ▁the ▁acute ▁phase ▁of ▁the ▁COVID -19 ▁pandemic ▁emergency ▁world w ide , ▁WHO ▁published ▁the ▁2022 ▁COVID -19 ▁St r ateg ic ▁prepared ness , ▁read iness ▁and ▁response ▁plan ▁out l ining ▁strategic ▁interventions ▁to ▁support ▁these ▁efforts . ▁Rel ative ▁to ▁standard ▁of ▁care , ▁the ▁GDG ▁r ated ▁certainty ▁of ▁evidence ▁as : ▁moderate ▁for ▁decreased ▁admission ▁to ▁hospital ▁( d ue ▁to s er ious ▁imprecision ), ▁mortality ▁and ▁mechanical ▁ventilation ; ▁and ▁very ▁low ▁for ▁adverse ▁effects ▁leading ▁to ▁drug ▁discontin uation . ▁Evidence ▁to ▁decision ▁Benef its ▁and ▁harms ▁Moderate ▁to ▁high ▁transmission ▁areas ▁Clin ical ▁malaria : ▁MDA ▁may ▁reduce ▁clinical ▁malaria ▁incidence ▁1 –3 ▁months ▁post - M DA 1 ▁( rate ▁ratio : ▁0.4 1; ▁95% ▁CI : 0 4 – 4 .4 2; ▁low - certainty ▁evidence ). There ▁was ▁limited ▁evidence ▁available ▁on ▁the ▁effect ▁on ▁malaria ▁burden ▁4 –12 ▁months ▁post - M DA ▁or ▁12 – 24 ▁months ▁post - M DA . ▁For ▁other ▁outcomes , ▁we ▁used ▁the ▁med ian ▁of ▁the ▁control ▁arm ▁of ▁the ▁RCTs ▁that ▁contrib uted ▁to ▁the ▁evidence . ▁Therefore , ▁the ▁GDG ▁concluded ▁that ▁the ▁recommendation ▁app lies ▁to ▁pregnant ▁women . ▁Reg ard ing ▁the ▁mer its ▁of ▁the ▁strong ▁recommendation , ▁more ▁important ▁than ▁the ▁harms ▁is ▁the ▁tem pt ation ▁to ▁use ▁a ▁low ▁cost ▁easily ▁access ible ▁drug ▁in ▁low - in come ▁settings , ▁d iver ting ▁effort ▁away ▁from ▁opt im izing ▁the ▁lik eli hood ▁of ▁administration ▁of ▁one ▁of ▁interventions ▁known ▁to ▁benefit . ▁We ▁recommend ▁prom pt ▁recogn ition ▁of ▁progress ive ▁acute ▁hyp ox a emic ▁respiratory ▁failure ▁when ▁a ▁patient ▁with ▁respiratory ▁dist ress ▁is ▁fail ing ▁to ▁respond ▁to ▁standard ▁oxygen ▁therapy ▁and ▁adequate ▁preparation ▁to ▁provide ▁advanced ▁oxygen / vent il atory ▁support . ▁T w elve ▁studies ▁used ▁SP + AQ , ▁three ▁studies ▁used ▁AS - AQ , ▁one ▁study ▁used ▁SP + AS , ▁and ▁one ▁study ▁used ▁A L . ▁Once ▁el imination ▁has ▁been ▁achieved , ▁opt imal ▁vector ▁control ▁coverage ▁should ▁be ▁maintained ▁in ▁recept ive ▁areas ▁where ▁there ▁is ▁a ▁substant ial ▁risk ▁of ▁re int rodu ction . ▁However , ▁in ▁cases ▁where ▁the ▁pregnant ▁individual ▁pres ents ▁with ▁m ild ▁or ▁moderate ▁COVID -19, ▁the ▁clinical ▁benefits ▁of ▁antenatal ▁corticostero id ▁might ▁outwe igh ▁the ▁risks ▁of ▁potential ▁harm ▁to ▁the ▁individual . ▁Evidence ▁to ▁decision ▁benefits ▁and ▁harms ▁in ▁patients ▁with ▁non - severe ▁COVID -19 ▁at ▁low ▁risk ▁of ▁hospitalization , ▁remdesivir ▁does ▁not ▁result ▁in ▁important ▁redu ctions ▁in ▁admissions ▁and ▁probably ▁has ▁little ▁or ▁no ▁impact ▁on ▁mortality , ▁mechanical ▁ventilation ▁and ▁time ▁to ▁sympt om ▁resolution . ▁IPTp - SP ▁should ▁start ▁as ▁early ▁as ▁possible ▁in ▁the ▁second ▁tr imes ter ▁and ▁not ▁before ▁week ▁13 ▁of ▁pregnancy . ▁Practical ▁info ▁Implementation ▁considerations ▁Ind ividual s ▁should ▁self - is olate ▁and ▁seek ▁medical ▁advice ▁as ▁soon ▁as ▁they ▁start ▁to ▁feel ▁un well ▁with ▁potential ▁COVID -19 ▁symptoms ▁( e ven ▁if ▁symptoms ▁are ▁m ild ). ▁There ▁may ▁be ▁little ▁or ▁no ▁difference ▁in ▁admission ▁to ▁hospital ▁and ▁mortality ▁between ▁remdesivir ▁and ▁nirmatrelvir - ritonavir . ▁While ▁there ▁was ▁no ▁evidence ▁to ▁support ▁sp ray ing ▁versus ▁w ip ing ▁when ▁clean ing , ▁GDG ▁members ▁noted ▁that , ▁for ▁safety , ▁products ▁need ▁to ▁be ▁applied ▁according ▁to ▁manufact ure r ' s ▁instructions ▁for ▁dil ution , ▁application ▁and ▁contact ▁time . ▁A ▁systematic ▁review ▁evalu ating ▁21 ▁e c ological ▁studies ▁in ▁adults ▁found ▁that ▁mask ▁use ▁is ▁associated ▁with ▁reduced ▁mortality , ▁reduced ▁incidence ▁of ▁disease , ▁and ▁reduced ▁hospitalization ▁in ▁the ▁community .
