▁Then ▁Jerem iah ▁came ▁from ▁T op he th , ▁where ▁the ▁Lord ▁had ▁sent ▁him ▁to ▁give ▁the ▁prophet ' s ▁word ; ▁and ▁he ▁took ▁his ▁place ▁in ▁the ▁open ▁square ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ' s ▁house , ▁and ▁said ▁to ▁all ▁the ▁people , ▁B iting ▁off ▁the ▁highest ▁of ▁its ▁young ▁branches , ▁he ▁took ▁it ▁to ▁the ▁land ▁of ▁C anaan , ▁and ▁put ▁it ▁in ▁a ▁town ▁of ▁trad ers . ▁But ▁I ▁say ▁to ▁you , ▁Do ▁not ▁make ▁use ▁of ▁force ▁against ▁an ▁evil ▁man ; ▁but ▁to ▁him ▁who ▁gives ▁you ▁a ▁blow ▁on ▁the ▁right ▁side ▁of ▁your ▁face ▁let ▁the ▁left ▁be ▁turned . ▁He ▁was ▁twenty - five ▁years ▁old ▁when ▁he ▁became ▁king , ▁and ▁he ▁was ▁ruling ▁in ▁Jerusalem ▁for ▁six teen ▁years . ▁M uch ▁has ▁been ▁planted , ▁but ▁little ▁got ▁in ; ▁you ▁take ▁food , ▁but ▁have ▁not ▁enough ; ▁you ▁take ▁drink , ▁but ▁are ▁not ▁full ; ▁you ▁are ▁clot hed , ▁but ▁no ▁one ▁is ▁warm ; ▁and ▁he ▁who ▁gets ▁payment ▁for ▁his ▁work , ▁gets ▁it ▁to ▁put ▁it ▁into ▁a ▁bag ▁full ▁of ▁h oles . ▁Let ▁those ▁who ▁have ▁been ▁forced ▁out ▁of ▁Moab ▁have ▁a ▁rest ing - place ▁with ▁you ; ▁be ▁a ▁cover ▁to ▁them ▁from ▁him ▁who ▁is ▁making ▁waste ▁their ▁land : ▁till ▁the ▁cruel ▁ones ▁are ▁cut ▁off , ▁and ▁was ting ▁has ▁come ▁to ▁an ▁end , ▁and ▁those ▁who ▁take ▁pleasure ▁in ▁cr us hing ▁the ▁poor ▁are ▁gone ▁from ▁the ▁land . ▁From ▁S ime on , ▁She l um i el , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Z ur ish add ai ; ▁For ▁he ▁said , ▁The ▁Lord ▁has ▁taken ▁his ▁oath ▁that ▁there ▁will ▁be ▁war ▁with ▁Am ale k ▁from ▁generation ▁to ▁generation . ▁And ▁Solomon , ▁aw ak ening , ▁saw ▁that ▁it ▁was ▁a ▁dream ; ▁then ▁he ▁came ▁to ▁Jerusalem , ▁where ▁he ▁went ▁before ▁the ▁ark ▁of ▁the ▁agreement ▁of ▁the ▁Lord , ▁offering ▁burned ▁offerings ▁and ▁peace - off er ings ; ▁and ▁he ▁made ▁a ▁fe ast ▁for ▁all ▁his ▁servants . ▁Se ven ▁years ▁are ▁coming ▁in ▁which ▁there ▁will ▁be ▁great ▁wealth ▁of ▁grain ▁in ▁Egypt ; ▁My ▁loved ▁ones , ▁let ▁us ▁have ▁love ▁for ▁one ▁another : ▁because ▁love ▁is ▁of ▁God , ▁and ▁everyone ▁who ▁has ▁love ▁is ▁a ▁child ▁of ▁God ▁and ▁has ▁knowledge ▁of ▁God . ▁How ▁may ▁I ▁put ▁cur ses ▁on ▁him ▁who ▁is ▁not ▁curs ed ▁by ▁God ? ▁how ▁may ▁I ▁be ▁angry ▁with ▁him ▁with ▁whom ▁the ▁Lord ▁is ▁not ▁angry ? ▁And ▁a ▁great ▁number ▁of ▁the ▁people ▁had ▁gone ▁over ▁Jordan ▁to ▁the ▁land ▁of ▁Gad ▁and ▁G ile ad ; ▁but ▁Saul ▁was ▁still ▁in ▁G il gal , ▁and ▁all ▁the ▁people ▁went ▁after ▁him ▁shaking ▁in ▁fear . ▁And ▁N athan ▁said ▁to ▁David , ▁Do ▁whatever ▁is ▁in ▁your ▁heart , ▁for ▁God ▁is ▁with ▁you . ▁And ▁I ▁will ▁do ▁in ▁you ▁what ▁I ▁have ▁not ▁done ▁and ▁will ▁not ▁do ▁again , ▁because ▁of ▁all ▁your ▁disgusting ▁ways . ▁So ▁at ▁that ▁time ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel ▁were ▁overcome , ▁and ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Judah ▁got ▁the ▁better ▁of ▁them , ▁because ▁they ▁put ▁their ▁faith ▁in ▁the ▁Lord , ▁the ▁God ▁of ▁their ▁fathers . ▁Then ▁the ▁king ▁of ▁Israel ▁sent ▁for ▁all ▁the ▁responsible ▁men ▁of ▁the ▁land , ▁and ▁said , ▁Now ▁will ▁you ▁take ▁note ▁and ▁see ▁the ▁evil ▁purpose ▁of ▁this ▁man : ▁he ▁sent ▁for ▁my ▁wives ▁and ▁my ▁children , ▁my ▁silver ▁and ▁my ▁gold , ▁and ▁I ▁did ▁not ▁keep ▁them ▁back . ▁So ▁King ▁Jo ash ▁did ▁not ▁keep ▁in ▁mind ▁how ▁good ▁Je ho i ada ▁his ▁father ▁had ▁been ▁to ▁him , ▁but ▁put ▁his ▁son ▁to ▁death . ▁And ▁in ▁the ▁hour ▁of ▁his ▁death ▁he ▁said , ▁May ▁the ▁Lord ▁see ▁it ▁and ▁take ▁payment ! ▁Now ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁acts ▁of ▁He ze k iah , ▁and ▁the ▁good ▁he ▁did , ▁are ▁recorded ▁in ▁the ▁vision ▁of ▁Isa iah ▁the ▁prophet , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Am o z , ▁and ▁in ▁the ▁book ▁of ▁the ▁kings ▁of ▁Judah ▁and ▁Israel . ▁Take ▁the ▁best ▁and ▁most ▁upright ▁of ▁your ▁master ' s ▁sons , ▁and ▁make ▁him ▁king ▁in ▁his ▁father ' s ▁place , ▁and ▁put ▁up ▁a ▁fight ▁for ▁your ▁master ' s ▁family . ▁When ▁you ▁make ▁it ▁dark , ▁it ▁is ▁night , ▁when ▁all ▁the ▁beasts ▁of ▁the ▁wood s ▁come ▁quiet ly ▁out ▁of ▁their ▁secret ▁places . ▁Now ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel ▁had ▁been ▁living ▁in ▁Egypt ▁for ▁four ▁hundred ▁and ▁thirty ▁years . ▁Who ▁is ▁able ▁to ▁give ▁an ▁account ▁of ▁the ▁great ▁acts ▁of ▁the ▁Lord , ▁or ▁to ▁make ▁clear ▁all ▁his ▁praise ? ▁And ▁that ▁women ▁may ▁be ▁d ressed ▁in ▁simple ▁clothing , ▁with ▁a ▁quiet ▁and ▁serious ▁air ; ▁not ▁with ▁tw isted ▁hair ▁and ▁gold ▁or ▁j ew els ▁or ▁rob es ▁of ▁great ▁price ; ▁And ▁I ▁will ▁come ▁near ▁to ▁you ▁for ▁jud ging ; ▁I ▁will ▁quickly ▁be ▁a ▁witness ▁against ▁the ▁wonder - work ers , ▁against ▁those ▁who ▁have ▁been ▁unt ru e ▁in ▁married ▁life , ▁against ▁those ▁who ▁take ▁false ▁oath s ; ▁against ▁those ▁who ▁keep ▁back ▁from ▁the ▁servant ▁his ▁payment , ▁and ▁who ▁are ▁hard ▁on ▁the ▁wid ow ▁and ▁the ▁child ▁without ▁a ▁father , ▁who ▁do ▁not ▁give ▁his ▁rights ▁to ▁the ▁man ▁from ▁a ▁strange ▁country , ▁and ▁have ▁no ▁fear ▁of ▁me , ▁says ▁the ▁Lord ▁of ▁armies . ▁And ▁the ▁hand ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁was ▁on ▁Eli j ah ; ▁and ▁he ▁made ▁himself ▁strong , ▁and ▁went ▁running ▁before ▁A hab ▁till ▁they ▁came ▁to ▁Jez re el . ▁And ▁the ▁servant ▁who ▁was ▁in ▁authority ▁over ▁the ▁cut ters ▁said , ▁It ▁is ▁a ▁Moab ite ▁girl ▁who ▁came ▁back ▁with ▁Na om i ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁country ▁of ▁Moab ; ▁Here ▁I ▁am : ▁give ▁witness ▁against ▁me ▁before ▁the ▁Lord ▁and ▁before ▁the ▁man ▁on ▁whom ▁he ▁has ▁put ▁the ▁holy ▁oil : ▁whose ▁ox ▁or ▁ass ▁have ▁I ▁taken ? ▁to ▁whom ▁have ▁I ▁been ▁unt ru e ? ▁who ▁has ▁been ▁crushed ▁down ▁by ▁me ? ▁from ▁whose ▁hand ▁have ▁I ▁taken ▁a ▁price ▁for ▁the ▁blind ing ▁of ▁my ▁eyes ? ▁I ▁will ▁give ▁it ▁all ▁back ▁to ▁you . ▁All ▁the ▁fighting ▁men ▁got ▁up ▁and , ▁travelling ▁all ▁night , ▁took ▁Saul ' s ▁body ▁and ▁the ▁bodies ▁of ▁his ▁sons ▁from ▁the ▁wall ▁of ▁Beth - sh an ; ▁and ▁they ▁came ▁to ▁J ab esh ▁and ▁had ▁them ▁burned ▁there . ▁In ▁the ▁third ▁year ▁of ▁Cy r us , ▁king ▁of ▁Pers ia , ▁a ▁secret ▁was ▁unf olded ▁to ▁D aniel , ▁whose ▁name ▁was ▁B elt es ha zz ar ; ▁and ▁the ▁thing ▁was ▁true , ▁even ▁a ▁hard ▁work : ▁and ▁he ▁had ▁knowledge ▁of ▁it , ▁and ▁the ▁vision ▁was ▁clear ▁to ▁him . ▁And ▁all ▁your ▁build ers ▁will ▁be ▁made ▁wise ▁by ▁the ▁Lord ; ▁and ▁great ▁will ▁be ▁the ▁peace ▁of ▁your ▁children . ▁For ▁seven ▁days ▁you ▁are ▁to ▁make ▁offerings ▁for ▁the ▁altar ▁and ▁make ▁it ▁holy , ▁so ▁that ▁it ▁may ▁become ▁completely ▁holy , ▁and ▁anything ▁touch ing ▁it ▁will ▁become ▁holy . ▁God ▁gives ▁him ▁his ▁desire , ▁and ▁send s ▁the ▁heat ▁of ▁his ▁wrath ▁on ▁him , ▁making ▁it ▁come ▁down ▁on ▁him ▁like ▁rain . ▁Even ▁these ▁I ▁will ▁give ▁up ▁into ▁the ▁hands ▁of ▁their ▁hat ers ▁and ▁into ▁the ▁hands ▁of ▁those ▁who ▁have ▁designs ▁against ▁their ▁lives : ▁and ▁their ▁dead ▁bodies ▁will ▁become ▁food ▁for ▁the ▁birds ▁of ▁heaven ▁and ▁the ▁beasts ▁of ▁the ▁earth . ▁For ▁if ▁you ▁come ▁back ▁to ▁the ▁Lord , ▁those ▁who ▁took ▁away ▁your ▁brothers ▁and ▁your ▁children ▁will ▁have ▁pity ▁on ▁them , ▁and ▁let ▁them ▁come ▁back ▁to ▁this ▁land : ▁for ▁the ▁Lord ▁your ▁God ▁is ▁full ▁of ▁grace ▁and ▁mercy , ▁and ▁his ▁face ▁will ▁not ▁be ▁turned ▁away ▁from ▁you ▁if ▁you ▁come ▁back ▁to ▁him . ▁But , ▁By ▁the ▁living ▁Lord , ▁who ▁took ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel ▁up ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁land ▁of ▁the ▁north , ▁and ▁from ▁all ▁the ▁countries ▁where ▁he ▁had ▁sent ▁them : ▁and ▁I ▁will ▁take ▁them ▁back ▁again ▁to ▁their ▁land ▁which ▁I ▁gave ▁to ▁their ▁fathers . ▁Je ho ia ch in ▁was ▁eight een ▁years ▁old ▁when ▁he ▁became ▁king , ▁he ▁was ▁ruling ▁in ▁Jerusalem ▁for ▁three ▁months , ▁and ▁his ▁mother ' s ▁name ▁was ▁Ne h ush ta , ▁the ▁daughter ▁of ▁El n athan ▁of ▁Jerusalem . ▁And ▁Judah ▁did ▁evil ▁in ▁the ▁eyes ▁of ▁the ▁Lord , ▁and ▁made ▁him ▁more ▁angry ▁than ▁their ▁fathers ▁had ▁done ▁by ▁their ▁sins . ▁But ▁God ▁said ▁to ▁him , ▁You ▁foolish ▁one , ▁tonight ▁I ▁will ▁take ▁your ▁soul ▁from ▁you , ▁and ▁who ▁then ▁will ▁be ▁the ▁own er ▁of ▁all ▁the ▁things ▁which ▁you ▁have ▁got ▁together ? ▁The ▁glory ▁of ▁young ▁men ▁is ▁their ▁strength , ▁and ▁the ▁honour ▁of ▁old ▁men ▁is ▁their ▁gre y ▁hair s . ▁Being ▁certain ▁that ▁you ▁will ▁do ▁my ▁desire , ▁I ▁am ▁writing ▁to ▁you , ▁in ▁the ▁knowledge ▁that ▁you ▁will ▁do ▁even ▁more ▁than ▁I ▁say . ▁H o ! ▁crown ▁of ▁pride ▁of ▁those ▁who ▁are ▁given ▁up ▁to ▁wine ▁in ▁Ephraim , ▁and ▁the ▁dead ▁flow er ▁of ▁his ▁glory ▁which ▁is ▁on ▁the ▁head ▁of ▁those ▁who ▁are ▁overcome ▁by ▁strong ▁drink ! ▁Now ▁the ▁divisions ▁into ▁which ▁the ▁sons ▁of ▁Aaron ▁were ▁group ed ▁were ▁these : ▁the ▁sons ▁of ▁Aaron , ▁N ad ab ▁and ▁Ab i hu , ▁Ele az ar ▁and ▁I th am ar . ▁Then ▁the ▁angel ▁said , ▁Put ▁on ▁your ▁shoes ▁and ▁get ▁ready ▁to ▁go . ▁And ▁he ▁did ▁so . ▁And ▁he ▁said , ▁Put ▁your ▁co at ▁round ▁you ▁and ▁come ▁with ▁me . ▁For ▁I ▁have ▁not ▁said ▁it ▁on ▁my ▁authority , ▁but ▁the ▁Father ▁who ▁sent ▁me ▁gave ▁me ▁orders ▁what ▁to ▁say ▁and ▁how ▁to ▁say ▁it . ▁But ▁you , ▁why ▁do ▁you ▁make ▁yourself ▁your ▁brother ' s ▁judge ? ▁or ▁again , ▁why ▁have ▁you ▁no ▁respect ▁for ▁your ▁brother ? ▁because ▁we ▁will ▁all ▁have ▁to ▁take ▁our ▁place ▁before ▁God ▁as ▁our ▁judge . ▁And ▁this ▁is ▁my ▁agreement ▁with ▁them , ▁when ▁I ▁will ▁take ▁away ▁their ▁sins . ▁And ▁when ▁the ▁disciples ▁came ▁to ▁the ▁other ▁side ▁they ▁had ▁not ▁taken ▁thought ▁to ▁get ▁bread . ▁And ▁he ▁went ▁and ▁saw ▁the ▁dead ▁body ▁stretched ▁out ▁in ▁the ▁road ▁with ▁the ▁ass ▁and ▁the ▁lion ▁by ▁its ▁side : ▁the ▁lion ▁had ▁not ▁taken ▁the ▁body ▁for ▁its ▁food ▁or ▁done ▁any ▁damage ▁to ▁the ▁ass . ▁And ▁went ▁from ▁them , ▁saying , ▁I ▁will ▁come ▁back ▁to ▁you ▁if ▁God ▁let s ▁me ; ▁and ▁he ▁took ▁ship ▁from ▁E p hes us . ▁Let ▁everyone ▁put ▁himself ▁under ▁the ▁authority ▁of ▁the ▁higher ▁powers , ▁because ▁there ▁is ▁no ▁power ▁which ▁is ▁not ▁of ▁God , ▁and ▁all ▁powers ▁are ▁ordered ▁by ▁God . ▁For ▁he ▁had ▁made ▁such ▁a ▁great ▁number ▁well ▁that ▁all ▁those ▁who ▁were ▁dise ased ▁were ▁falling ▁down ▁before ▁him ▁for ▁the ▁purpose ▁of ▁touch ing ▁him . ▁We ▁will ▁make ▁you ▁ch ains ▁of ▁gold ▁with ▁or nam ents ▁of ▁silver . ▁Why ▁is ▁the ▁Lord ▁taking ▁us ▁into ▁this ▁land ▁to ▁come ▁to ▁our ▁death ▁by ▁the ▁sword ? ▁Our ▁wives ▁and ▁our ▁little ▁ones ▁will ▁get ▁into ▁strange ▁hands : ▁would ▁it ▁not ▁be ▁better ▁for ▁us ▁to ▁go ▁back ▁to ▁Egypt ? ▁But ▁your ▁mind ▁is ▁troubled ▁by ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁your ▁gu ides : ▁let ▁them ▁now ▁come ▁forward ▁for ▁your ▁salvation : ▁the ▁measure rs ▁of ▁the ▁heavens , ▁the ▁wat c hers ▁of ▁the ▁stars , ▁and ▁those ▁who ▁are ▁able ▁to ▁say ▁from ▁month ▁to ▁month ▁what ▁things ▁are ▁coming ▁on ▁you . ▁Mic a , ▁Re h ob , ▁H ash ab iah , ▁The ▁memory ▁of ▁the ▁upright ▁is ▁a ▁blessing , ▁but ▁the ▁name ▁of ▁the ▁evil - do er ▁will ▁be ▁turned ▁to ▁dust . ▁Jesus ▁said ▁to ▁the ▁servants , ▁Make ▁the ▁pot s ▁full ▁of ▁water . ▁And ▁they ▁made ▁them ▁full ▁to ▁the ▁top . ▁And ▁it ▁will ▁be ▁for ▁Aaron ▁and ▁his ▁sons ; ▁they ▁are ▁to ▁take ▁it ▁for ▁food ▁in ▁a ▁holy ▁place : ▁it ▁is ▁the ▁most ▁holy ▁of ▁all ▁the ▁offerings ▁made ▁by ▁fire ▁to ▁the ▁Lord , ▁a ▁rule ▁for ▁ever . ▁But ▁having ▁the ▁same ▁spirit ▁of ▁faith , ▁as ▁it ▁is ▁said ▁in ▁the ▁Writ ings , ▁The ▁words ▁of ▁my ▁mouth ▁came ▁from ▁the ▁faith ▁in ▁my ▁heart ; ▁in ▁the ▁same ▁way , ▁our ▁words ▁are ▁the ▁outcome ▁of ▁our ▁faith ; ▁By ▁my ▁life , ▁says ▁the ▁Lord , ▁you ▁will ▁no ▁longer ▁have ▁this ▁saying ▁in ▁Israel . ▁Who ▁will ▁take ▁me ▁into ▁the ▁strong ▁town ? ▁who ▁will ▁be ▁my ▁guide ▁into ▁E dom ? ▁And ▁the ▁Lord ▁said ▁to ▁Moses ▁and ▁to ▁Aaron , ▁Take ▁in ▁your ▁hand ▁a ▁little ▁dust ▁from ▁the ▁fire ▁and ▁let ▁Moses ▁send ▁it ▁in ▁a ▁sh ower ▁up ▁to ▁heaven ▁before ▁the ▁eyes ▁of ▁Pharaoh . ▁Who ▁says ▁of ▁Cy r us , ▁He ▁will ▁take ▁care ▁of ▁my ▁sheep , ▁and ▁will ▁do ▁all ▁my ▁pleasure : ▁who ▁says ▁of ▁Jerusalem , ▁I ▁will ▁give ▁the ▁word ▁for ▁your ▁building ; ▁and ▁of ▁the ▁Temple , ▁Your ▁b ases ▁will ▁be ▁put ▁in ▁place . ▁And ▁in ▁H az ar - sh ual , ▁and ▁in ▁Be er - s he ba ▁and ▁its ▁daughter - t own s , ▁See , ▁Israel ▁comes ▁up ▁like ▁a ▁she - l ion , ▁lif ting ▁himself ▁up ▁like ▁a ▁lion : ▁he ▁will ▁take ▁no ▁rest ▁till ▁he ▁has ▁made ▁a ▁meal ▁of ▁those ▁he ▁has ▁overcome , ▁drinking ▁the ▁blood ▁of ▁those ▁he ▁has ▁put ▁to ▁death . ▁And ▁the ▁ruler ▁who ▁is ▁among ▁them ▁will ▁take ▁his ▁goods ▁on ▁his ▁back ▁in ▁the ▁dark ▁and ▁go ▁out : ▁he ▁will ▁make ▁a ▁hole ▁in ▁the ▁wall ▁through ▁which ▁to ▁go ▁out : ▁he ▁will ▁have ▁his ▁face ▁covered ▁so ▁that ▁he ▁may ▁not ▁be ▁seen . ▁And ▁when ▁he ▁put ▁shame ▁on ▁Israel , ▁Jonathan , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Sh ime a , ▁David ' s ▁brother , ▁put ▁him ▁to ▁death . ▁Do ▁not ▁make ▁false ▁decisions ▁in ▁questions ▁of ▁yard - st icks ▁and ▁weights ▁and ▁measures . ▁Tru ly , ▁the ▁hope ▁of ▁his ▁attack er ▁is ▁false ; ▁he ▁is ▁overcome ▁even ▁on ▁seeing ▁him ! ▁And ▁on ▁the ▁east ▁were ▁three ▁doors ; ▁and ▁on ▁the ▁north ▁three ▁doors ; ▁and ▁on ▁the ▁south ▁three ▁doors ; ▁and ▁on ▁the ▁west ▁three ▁doors . ▁Wh ich ▁of ▁the ▁two ▁did ▁his ▁father ' s ▁pleasure ? ▁They ▁say , ▁The ▁first . ▁Jesus ▁said ▁to ▁them , ▁Tru ly ▁I ▁say ▁to ▁you , ▁that ▁tax - f arm ers ▁and ▁loose ▁women ▁are ▁going ▁into ▁the ▁kingdom ▁of ▁God ▁before ▁you . ▁So ▁G ide on ▁and ▁the ▁three ▁hundred ▁men ▁who ▁were ▁with ▁him ▁came ▁to ▁the ▁outer ▁line ▁of ▁tents , ▁at ▁the ▁start ▁of ▁the ▁middle ▁watch , ▁when ▁the ▁watch men ▁had ▁only ▁then ▁taken ▁their ▁st ations ; ▁and ▁the ▁horns ▁were ▁s ounded ▁and ▁the ▁vessels ▁broken . ▁In ▁the ▁measure ▁of ▁the ▁grace ▁given ▁to ▁me , ▁I , ▁as ▁a ▁wise ▁master - b uild er , ▁have ▁put ▁the ▁base ▁in ▁position , ▁and ▁another ▁goes ▁on ▁building ▁on ▁it . ▁But ▁let ▁every ▁man ▁take ▁care ▁what ▁he ▁put s ▁on ▁it . ▁You ▁yourselves ▁have ▁seen ▁that ▁with ▁these ▁hands ▁I ▁got ▁what ▁was ▁necessary ▁for ▁me ▁and ▁those ▁who ▁were ▁with ▁me . ▁So ▁with ▁joy ▁will ▁you ▁get ▁water ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁sp r ings ▁of ▁salvation . ▁Then ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁D an ▁went ▁on ▁their ▁way ; ▁and ▁when ▁Mic ah ▁saw ▁that ▁they ▁were ▁strong er ▁than ▁he , ▁he ▁went ▁back ▁to ▁his ▁house . ▁But ▁in ▁every ▁nation , ▁the ▁man ▁who ▁has ▁fear ▁of ▁him ▁and ▁does ▁righteousness ▁is ▁ple asing ▁to ▁him . ▁For ▁there ▁is ▁no ▁other ▁base ▁for ▁the ▁building ▁but ▁that ▁which ▁has ▁been ▁put ▁down , ▁which ▁is ▁Jesus ▁Christ . ▁C ursed ▁is ▁he ▁who ▁takes ▁his ▁neighbour ' s ▁land m ark ▁from ▁its ▁place . ▁And ▁let ▁all ▁the ▁people ▁say , ▁So ▁be ▁it . ▁C ursed ▁is ▁he ▁who ▁has ▁sex ▁relations ▁with ▁any ▁sort ▁of ▁beast . ▁And ▁let ▁all ▁the ▁people ▁say , ▁So ▁be ▁it . ▁In ▁God ▁is ▁my ▁salvation , ▁and ▁my ▁glory ; ▁the ▁R ock ▁of ▁my ▁strength , ▁and ▁my ▁safe ▁place . ▁Then ▁Esau , ▁lif ting ▁up ▁his ▁eyes , ▁saw ▁the ▁women ▁and ▁the ▁children , ▁and ▁said , ▁Who ▁are ▁these ▁with ▁you ? ▁And ▁he ▁said , ▁The ▁children ▁whom ▁God ▁in ▁his ▁mercy ▁has ▁given ▁to ▁your ▁servant . ▁Say ing , ▁What ▁you ▁see , ▁put ▁in ▁a ▁book , ▁and ▁send ▁it ▁to ▁the ▁seven ▁chur ches ; ▁to ▁E p hes us ▁and ▁to ▁S my r na ▁and ▁to ▁Per g am os ▁and ▁to ▁Th y at ira ▁and ▁to ▁S ard is ▁and ▁to ▁Phil ad el ph ia ▁and ▁to ▁L a od ice a . ▁And ▁the ▁priest ▁said , ▁The ▁sword ▁of ▁G ol i ath ▁the ▁Philist ine , ▁whom ▁you ▁put ▁to ▁death ▁in ▁the ▁valley ▁of ▁El ah , ▁is ▁here ▁f olded ▁in ▁a ▁cloth ▁at ▁the ▁back ▁of ▁the ▁e ph od : ▁take ▁that , ▁if ▁you ▁will , ▁for ▁there ▁is ▁no ▁other ▁sword ▁here . ▁And ▁David ▁said , ▁there ▁is ▁no ▁other ▁sword ▁like ▁that ; ▁give ▁it ▁to ▁me . ▁And ▁the ▁man ▁said ▁to ▁me , ▁Son ▁of ▁man , ▁see ▁with ▁your ▁eyes ▁and ▁give ▁hearing ▁with ▁your ▁ears , ▁and ▁take ▁to ▁heart ▁everything ▁I ▁am ▁going ▁to ▁let ▁you ▁see ; ▁for ▁in ▁order ▁that ▁I ▁might ▁let ▁you ▁see ▁them , ▁you ▁have ▁come ▁here : ▁and ▁give ▁an ▁account ▁of ▁all ▁you ▁see ▁to ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel . ▁And ▁they ▁went ▁after ▁them ▁as ▁far ▁as ▁Jordan ; ▁and ▁all ▁the ▁road ▁was ▁covered ▁with ▁clothing ▁and ▁vessels ▁dropped ▁by ▁the ▁Aram ae ans ▁in ▁their ▁flight . ▁So ▁those ▁who ▁were ▁sent ▁went ▁back ▁and ▁gave ▁the ▁news ▁to ▁the ▁king . ▁And ▁for ▁a ▁fourth ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁day , ▁upright ▁in ▁their ▁places , ▁they ▁were ▁reading ▁from ▁the ▁book ▁of ▁the ▁law ▁of ▁their ▁God ; ▁and ▁for ▁a ▁fourth ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁day ▁they ▁were ▁request ing ▁forg iveness ▁and ▁wor sh ipp ing ▁the ▁Lord ▁their ▁God . ▁You , ▁O ▁King , ▁have ▁given ▁an ▁order ▁that ▁every ▁man , ▁when ▁the ▁sound ▁of ▁the ▁horn , ▁p ipe , ▁har p , ▁tr ig on , ▁p sal tery , ▁bag p ipe , ▁and ▁all ▁sorts ▁of ▁instruments , ▁comes ▁to ▁his ▁ears , ▁is ▁to ▁go ▁down ▁on ▁his ▁face ▁in ▁worship ▁before ▁the ▁image ▁of ▁gold : ▁But ▁I ▁will ▁put ▁out ▁my ▁hand ▁and ▁overcome ▁Egypt ▁with ▁all ▁the ▁w ond ers ▁which ▁I ▁will ▁do ▁among ▁them : ▁and ▁after ▁that ▁he ▁will ▁let ▁you ▁go . ▁But ▁Sam uel ▁was ▁not ▁ple ased ▁when ▁they ▁said ▁to ▁him , ▁Give ▁us ▁a ▁king ▁to ▁be ▁our ▁judge . ▁And ▁Sam uel ▁made ▁prayer ▁to ▁the ▁Lord . ▁And ▁God ▁sent ▁another ▁trouble - m aker , ▁Re z on , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Eli ada , ▁who ▁had ▁gone ▁in ▁flight ▁from ▁his ▁lord , ▁Had ade zer , ▁king ▁of ▁Z ob ah : ▁And ▁Jacob ▁did ▁seven ▁years ' ▁work ▁for ▁R ac hel ; ▁and ▁because ▁of ▁his ▁love ▁for ▁her ▁it ▁seemed ▁to ▁him ▁only ▁a ▁very ▁little ▁time . ▁On ▁earth ▁there ▁is ▁not ▁another ▁like ▁him , ▁who ▁is ▁made ▁without ▁fear . ▁And ▁there ▁will ▁be ▁war ▁between ▁you ▁and ▁the ▁woman ▁and ▁between ▁your ▁seed ▁and ▁her ▁seed : ▁by ▁him ▁will ▁your ▁head ▁be ▁crushed ▁and ▁by ▁you ▁his ▁foot ▁will ▁be ▁wounded . ▁If ▁you ▁give ▁ear ▁to ▁the ▁voice ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁your ▁God , ▁keeping ▁his ▁orders ▁and ▁his ▁laws ▁which ▁are ▁recorded ▁in ▁this ▁book ▁of ▁the ▁law , ▁and ▁turning ▁to ▁the ▁Lord ▁your ▁God ▁with ▁all ▁your ▁heart ▁and ▁with ▁all ▁your ▁soul . ▁And ▁to ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁Levites , ▁that ▁is , ▁the ▁families ▁of ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁M er ari , ▁they ▁gave ▁from ▁the ▁tribe ▁of ▁Zeb ul un , ▁J ok ne am ▁and ▁K art ah ▁with ▁their ▁grass - lands ; ▁Pl ant ing ▁their ▁tents ▁by ▁the ▁side ▁of ▁Jordan ▁from ▁Beth - j esh im oth ▁as ▁far ▁as ▁Ab el - sh itt im ▁in ▁the ▁low lands ▁of ▁Moab . ▁And ▁the ▁king ▁made ▁silver ▁as ▁common ▁as ▁stones ▁in ▁Jerusalem ▁and ▁c ed ars ▁like ▁the ▁sy c am ore - t rees ▁of ▁the ▁low lands ▁in ▁number . ▁And ▁the ▁land ▁by ▁the ▁sea ▁will ▁be ▁grass - land , ▁with ▁houses ▁for ▁keep ers ▁of ▁sheep ▁and ▁wall ed ▁places ▁for ▁fl ocks . ▁For ▁the ▁Jews ▁who ▁were ▁in ▁Sh ush an ▁came ▁together ▁again ▁on ▁the ▁four teenth ▁day ▁of ▁the ▁month ▁Ad ar ▁and ▁put ▁to ▁death ▁three ▁hundred ▁men ▁in ▁Sh ush an ; ▁but ▁they ▁put ▁not ▁a ▁hand ▁on ▁their ▁goods . ▁And ▁some ▁of ▁the ▁heads ▁of ▁families ▁gave ▁into ▁the ▁store ▁for ▁the ▁work ▁twenty ▁thousand ▁d ar ics ▁of ▁gold , ▁and ▁two ▁thousand , ▁two ▁hundred ▁p ounds ▁of ▁silver . ▁And ▁he ▁took ▁with ▁him ▁Peter ▁and ▁the ▁two ▁sons ▁of ▁Zeb ed ee , ▁and ▁became ▁sad ▁and ▁very ▁troubled . ▁Do ▁good , ▁O ▁Lord , ▁to ▁those ▁who ▁are ▁good , ▁and ▁to ▁those ▁who ▁are ▁upright ▁in ▁heart . ▁He ▁went ▁to ▁war ▁with ▁the ▁king ▁of ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Am mon ▁and ▁over c ame ▁them . ▁That ▁year , ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Am mon ▁gave ▁him ▁a ▁hundred ▁tal ents ▁of ▁silver , ▁and ▁ten ▁thousand ▁measures ▁of ▁grain ▁and ▁ten ▁thousand ▁measures ▁of ▁barley . ▁And ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Am mon ▁gave ▁him ▁the ▁same ▁amount ▁the ▁second ▁year ▁and ▁the ▁third . ▁And ▁when ▁he ▁came ▁back ▁from ▁putting ▁to ▁the ▁sword ▁eight een ▁thousand ▁of ▁the ▁E dom ites ▁in ▁the ▁Valley ▁of ▁S alt , ▁In ▁the ▁h ollow ▁of ▁whose ▁hand ▁have ▁the ▁waters ▁been ▁meas ured ? ▁and ▁who ▁is ▁able ▁to ▁take ▁the ▁heavens ▁in ▁his ▁stretched - out ▁fing ers ? ▁who ▁has ▁got ▁together ▁the ▁dust ▁of ▁the ▁earth ▁in ▁a ▁measure ? ▁who ▁has ▁taken ▁the ▁weight ▁of ▁the ▁mountains , ▁or ▁put ▁the ▁h ills ▁into ▁the ▁sc ales ? ▁So ▁go ▁now , ▁and ▁I ▁will ▁be ▁with ▁your ▁mouth , ▁teaching ▁you ▁what ▁to ▁say . ▁And ▁Isa iah ▁said ▁to ▁He ze k iah , ▁Give ▁ear ▁to ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁the ▁Lord . ▁He ▁who ▁does ▁the ▁cutting ▁now ▁has ▁his ▁re ward ; ▁he ▁is ▁getting ▁together ▁fruit ▁for ▁e ternal ▁life , ▁so ▁that ▁he ▁who ▁did ▁the ▁plant ing ▁and ▁he ▁who ▁gets ▁in ▁the ▁grain ▁may ▁have ▁joy ▁together . ▁They ▁say ▁to ▁their ▁mothers , ▁Where ▁is ▁grain ▁and ▁wine ? ▁when ▁they ▁are ▁falling ▁like ▁the ▁wounded ▁in ▁the ▁open ▁squ ares ▁of ▁the ▁town , ▁when ▁their ▁life ▁is ▁d rained ▁out ▁on ▁their ▁mother ' s ▁breast . ▁And ▁when ▁it ▁came ▁to ▁the ▁ears ▁of ▁those ▁who ▁were ▁against ▁us , ▁that ▁we ▁had ▁knowledge ▁of ▁their ▁designs ▁and ▁that ▁God ▁had ▁made ▁their ▁purpose ▁come ▁to ▁nothing , ▁we ▁all ▁went ▁back ▁to ▁the ▁wall , ▁everyone ▁to ▁his ▁work ▁And ▁if ▁a ▁woman ▁goes ▁near ▁a ▁beast ▁and ▁has ▁sex ▁relations ▁with ▁it , ▁you ▁will ▁put ▁an ▁end ▁to ▁the ▁woman ▁and ▁the ▁beast : ▁their ▁blood ▁will ▁be ▁on ▁them . ▁Th ough ▁I ▁have ▁given ▁training ▁and ▁strength ▁to ▁their ▁arms , ▁they ▁have ▁evil ▁designs ▁against ▁me . ▁And ▁he ▁is ▁to ▁take ▁away ▁all ▁the ▁fat ▁of ▁the ▁ox ▁of ▁the ▁sin - off ering ; ▁the ▁fat ▁covering ▁the ▁inside ▁parts ▁and ▁all ▁the ▁fat ▁of ▁the ▁inside ▁parts , ▁And ▁Moses ▁said ▁to ▁them , ▁Why ▁have ▁you ▁kept ▁all ▁the ▁women ▁safe ? ▁If ▁your ▁brother ▁becomes ▁poor , ▁and ▁has ▁to ▁give ▁up ▁some ▁of ▁his ▁land ▁for ▁money , ▁his ▁ne arest ▁relation ▁may ▁come ▁and ▁get ▁back ▁that ▁which ▁his ▁brother ▁has ▁given ▁up . ▁Of ▁the ▁tribe ▁of ▁Zeb ul un , ▁G add i el , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁S od i . ▁And ▁it ▁will ▁come ▁about ▁that ▁all ▁who ▁see ▁you ▁will ▁go ▁in ▁flight ▁from ▁you ▁and ▁say , ▁N ine ve h ▁is ▁made ▁waste : ▁who ▁will ▁be ▁we eping ▁for ▁her ? ▁where ▁am ▁I ▁to ▁get ▁com for ters ▁for ▁her ? ▁So ▁that ▁no ▁man ▁might ▁be ▁moved ▁by ▁these ▁trou bles ; ▁because ▁you ▁see ▁that ▁these ▁things ▁are ▁part ▁of ▁God ' s ▁purpose ▁for ▁us . ▁But ▁now ▁I ▁am ▁going ▁to ▁him ▁who ▁sent ▁me ; ▁and ▁not ▁one ▁of ▁you ▁says ▁to ▁me , ▁Where ▁are ▁you ▁going ? ▁Put ▁a ▁blue ▁c ord ▁on ▁it ▁and ▁put ▁it ▁on ▁the ▁front ▁of ▁the ▁tw isted ▁head - d ress : ▁And ▁I ▁will ▁have ▁the ▁judge ▁cut ▁off ▁from ▁among ▁them , ▁and ▁all ▁their ▁captains ▁I ▁will ▁put ▁to ▁death ▁with ▁him , ▁says ▁the ▁Lord . ▁Because ▁this ▁people ▁will ▁have ▁nothing ▁to ▁do ▁with ▁the ▁soft ly - flow ing ▁waters ▁of ▁Sh il o ah , ▁and ▁have ▁fear ▁of ▁Re z in ▁and ▁Rem al iah ' s ▁son ; ▁Then ▁his ▁brothers ▁and ▁his ▁father ' s ▁people ▁came ▁down ▁and ▁took ▁him ▁up ▁and ▁put ▁his ▁body ▁to ▁rest ▁in ▁the ▁earth ▁between ▁Z or ah ▁and ▁E sh ta ol ▁in ▁the ▁rest ing - place ▁of ▁Man o ah ▁his ▁father . ▁And ▁he ▁had ▁been ▁judge ▁of ▁Israel ▁for ▁twenty ▁years . ▁Now ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁acts ▁of ▁J oth am , ▁and ▁all ▁his ▁wars ▁and ▁his ▁ways , ▁are ▁recorded ▁in ▁the ▁book ▁of ▁the ▁kings ▁of ▁Israel ▁and ▁Judah . ▁And ▁a ▁river ▁went ▁out ▁of ▁Ed en ▁giving ▁water ▁to ▁the ▁garden ; ▁and ▁from ▁there ▁it ▁was ▁part ed ▁and ▁became ▁four ▁stream s . ▁And ▁those ▁who ▁are ▁Christ ' s ▁have ▁put ▁to ▁death ▁on ▁the ▁cross ▁the ▁flesh ▁with ▁its ▁pass ions ▁and ▁its ▁evil ▁des ires . ▁Then ▁Je hu ▁said ▁to ▁B id k ar , ▁his ▁captain , ▁Take ▁him ▁up , ▁and ▁put ▁him ▁in ▁the ▁field ▁of ▁Nab oth ▁the ▁Jez re el ite : ▁for ▁is ▁not ▁that ▁day ▁in ▁your ▁memory ▁when ▁you ▁and ▁I ▁together ▁on ▁our ▁horses ▁were ▁going ▁after ▁A hab , ▁his ▁father , ▁and ▁the ▁Lord ▁put ▁this ▁fate ▁on ▁him , ▁saying : ▁For ▁the ▁Lord ▁of ▁armies , ▁the ▁God ▁of ▁Israel , ▁has ▁said , ▁See , ▁before ▁your ▁eyes ▁and ▁in ▁your ▁days ▁I ▁will ▁put ▁an ▁end ▁in ▁this ▁place ▁to ▁the ▁laugh ing ▁v o ices ▁and ▁the ▁voice ▁of ▁joy ; ▁to ▁the ▁voice ▁of ▁the ▁newly - mar ried ▁man ▁and ▁the ▁voice ▁of ▁the ▁br ide . ▁And , ▁on ▁my ▁opening ▁my ▁mouth , ▁he ▁made ▁me ▁take ▁the ▁ro ll ▁as ▁food . ▁And ▁men ▁from ▁strange ▁countries ▁will ▁be ▁building ▁up ▁your ▁walls , ▁and ▁their ▁kings ▁will ▁be ▁your ▁servants : ▁for ▁in ▁my ▁wrath ▁I ▁sent ▁punishment ▁on ▁you , ▁but ▁in ▁my ▁grace ▁I ▁have ▁had ▁mercy ▁on ▁you . ▁Because ▁I ▁took ▁you ▁up ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁dust , ▁and ▁made ▁you ▁ruler ▁over ▁my ▁people ▁Israel ; ▁and ▁you ▁have ▁gone ▁in ▁the ▁ways ▁of ▁Jer o bo am , ▁and ▁made ▁my ▁people ▁Israel ▁do ▁evil , ▁moving ▁me ▁to ▁wrath ▁by ▁their ▁sins ; ▁The ▁fear ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁is ▁the ▁start ▁of ▁wisdom , ▁and ▁the ▁knowledge ▁of ▁the ▁Holy ▁One ▁gives ▁a ▁wise ▁mind ▁Je h os h ap hat ▁became ▁greater ▁and ▁greater , ▁and ▁made ▁strong ▁to wers ▁and ▁store - t own s ▁in ▁Judah . ▁And ▁the ▁Z id on ians ▁and ▁Am ale k ▁and ▁Mid ian ▁cr us hing ▁you ▁down , ▁and ▁in ▁answer ▁to ▁your ▁cry ▁did ▁I ▁not ▁give ▁you ▁salvation ▁from ▁their ▁hands ? ▁Then ▁Jos iah , ▁turning ▁round , ▁saw ▁on ▁the ▁mountain ▁the ▁places ▁of ▁the ▁dead , ▁and ▁he ▁sent ▁and ▁had ▁the ▁bones ▁taken ▁out ▁of ▁their ▁places ▁and ▁burned ▁on ▁the ▁altar , ▁so ▁making ▁it ▁unclean , ▁as ▁the ▁Lord ▁had ▁said ▁by ▁the ▁man ▁of ▁God ▁when ▁Jer o bo am ▁was ▁in ▁his ▁place ▁by ▁the ▁altar ▁on ▁that ▁fe ast - day . ▁And ▁he , ▁turning ▁his ▁eyes ▁to ▁the ▁rest ing - place ▁of ▁the ▁man ▁of ▁God ▁who ▁had ▁given ▁word ▁of ▁these ▁things , ▁said : ▁But ▁he , ▁being ▁full ▁of ▁pity , ▁has ▁forg iveness ▁for ▁sin , ▁and ▁does ▁not ▁put ▁an ▁end ▁to ▁man : ▁frequently ▁turning ▁back ▁his ▁wrath , ▁and ▁not ▁being ▁viol ently ▁angry . ▁Then ▁Jos hua ▁said ▁to ▁the ▁priests , ▁Take ▁up ▁the ▁ark ▁of ▁the ▁agreement ▁and ▁go ▁over ▁in ▁front ▁of ▁the ▁people . ▁So ▁they ▁took ▁up ▁the ▁ark ▁of ▁the ▁agreement ▁and ▁went ▁in ▁front ▁of ▁the ▁people . ▁This ▁will ▁be ▁the ▁punishment ▁of ▁Egypt , ▁and ▁the ▁punishment ▁of ▁all ▁the ▁nations ▁who ▁do ▁not ▁go ▁up ▁to ▁keep ▁the ▁fe ast ▁of ▁tents . ▁For ▁the ▁training ▁of ▁the ▁body ▁is ▁of ▁profit ▁for ▁a ▁little , ▁but ▁religion ▁is ▁of ▁profit ▁in ▁every ▁way , ▁giving ▁hope ▁for ▁the ▁life ▁which ▁now ▁is , ▁and ▁for ▁that ▁which ▁is ▁to ▁come . ▁And ▁of ▁D an ▁he ▁said , ▁D an ▁is ▁a ▁young ▁lion , ▁sp ring ing ▁out ▁from ▁B ash an . ▁He ▁who ▁has ▁pity ▁on ▁the ▁poor ▁gives ▁to ▁the ▁Lord , ▁and ▁the ▁Lord ▁will ▁give ▁him ▁his ▁re ward . ▁And ▁when ▁the ▁grain ▁is ▁cut , ▁you ▁are ▁to ▁give ▁a ▁fifth ▁part ▁to ▁Pharaoh , ▁and ▁four ▁parts ▁will ▁be ▁yours ▁for ▁seed ▁and ▁food , ▁and ▁for ▁your ▁families ▁and ▁your ▁little ▁ones . ▁And ▁M att ith iah ▁and ▁El ip he le hu ▁and ▁M ik ne iah ▁and ▁Ob ed - ed om ▁and ▁Je i el ▁and ▁Az az iah , ▁with ▁c ord ed ▁instruments ▁on ▁the ▁o ct ave , ▁to ▁give ▁the ▁first ▁note ▁of ▁the ▁song . ▁Fear s ▁have ▁come ▁on ▁me ; ▁my ▁hope ▁is ▁gone ▁like ▁the ▁wind , ▁and ▁my ▁well - being ▁like ▁a ▁cloud . ▁And ▁he ▁is ▁to ▁see ▁the ▁mark ▁on ▁the ▁seventh ▁day ; ▁if ▁the ▁mark ▁is ▁increased ▁in ▁the ▁clothing , ▁or ▁in ▁the ▁th read s ▁of ▁the ▁material , ▁or ▁in ▁the ▁le ather , ▁whatever ▁the ▁le ather ▁is ▁used ▁for , ▁it ▁is ▁the ▁disease ▁bit ing ▁into ▁it : ▁it ▁is ▁unclean . ▁Your ▁chief s , ▁Is s ach ar , ▁were ▁with ▁De bor ah ; ▁and ▁Nap h tal i ▁was ▁true ▁to ▁Bar ak ; ▁into ▁the ▁valley ▁they ▁went ▁r us hing ▁out ▁at ▁his ▁feet . ▁In ▁Re ub en ▁there ▁were ▁divisions , ▁and ▁great ▁search ings ▁of ▁heart . ▁And ▁they ▁were ▁taken ▁over ▁to ▁She c hem , ▁and ▁put ▁to ▁rest ▁in ▁the ▁place ▁which ▁Abraham ▁got ▁for ▁a ▁price ▁in ▁silver ▁from ▁the ▁sons ▁of ▁Ham or ▁in ▁She c hem . ▁The ▁sons ▁of ▁Moses : ▁G ers h om ▁and ▁El ie zer . ▁But ▁when ▁you ▁make ▁your ▁prayer , ▁go ▁into ▁your ▁private ▁room , ▁and , ▁shut ting ▁the ▁door , ▁say ▁a ▁prayer ▁to ▁your ▁Father ▁in ▁secret , ▁and ▁your ▁Father , ▁who ▁se es ▁in ▁secret , ▁will ▁give ▁you ▁your ▁re ward . ▁But ▁in ▁place ▁of ▁these ▁there ▁was ▁joy ▁and ▁delight , ▁oxen ▁and ▁sheep ▁were ▁being ▁made ▁ready ▁for ▁food , ▁there ▁was ▁fe asting ▁and ▁drinking : ▁men ▁said , ▁Now ▁is ▁the ▁time ▁for ▁food ▁and ▁wine , ▁for ▁tomorrow ▁death ▁comes . ▁Pl ates ▁of ▁gold ▁were ▁put ▁all ▁through ▁the ▁house ▁till ▁it ▁was ▁covered ▁completely ▁( and ▁the ▁altar ▁in ▁the ▁in most ▁room ▁was ▁all ▁covered ▁with ▁gold ). ▁And ▁my ▁soul ▁will ▁have ▁joy ▁in ▁the ▁Lord ; ▁it ▁will ▁be ▁glad ▁in ▁his ▁salvation . ▁For ▁this ▁cause ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁will ▁be ▁to ▁them ▁rule ▁after ▁rule , ▁line ▁after ▁line , ▁here ▁a ▁little , ▁there ▁a ▁little ; ▁so ▁that ▁they ▁may ▁go ▁on ▁their ▁way , ▁and ▁falling ▁back ▁may ▁be ▁broken , ▁and ▁taken ▁in ▁the ▁net . ▁H app y ▁is ▁the ▁nation ▁whose ▁ways ▁are ▁so ▁ordered : ▁yes , ▁happy ▁is ▁the ▁nation ▁whose ▁God ▁is ▁the ▁Lord . ▁And ▁the ▁breast ▁which ▁is ▁w av ed ▁and ▁the ▁leg ▁which ▁is ▁lifted ▁up ▁on ▁high , ▁you ▁are ▁to ▁take ▁as ▁your ▁food ▁in ▁a ▁clean ▁place ; ▁you ▁and ▁your ▁sons ▁and ▁your ▁daughters ▁with ▁you : ▁for ▁they ▁are ▁given ▁to ▁you ▁as ▁your ▁right ▁and ▁your ▁sons ' ▁right , ▁from ▁the ▁peace - off er ings ▁of ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel . ▁Now ▁if ▁T im oth y ▁comes , ▁see ▁that ▁he ▁is ▁with ▁you ▁without ▁fear ; ▁because ▁he ▁is ▁doing ▁the ▁Lord ' s ▁work , ▁even ▁as ▁I ▁am : ▁So ▁I ▁will ▁give ▁their ▁wives ▁to ▁others , ▁and ▁their ▁fields ▁to ▁those ▁who ▁will ▁take ▁them ▁for ▁themselves : ▁for ▁everyone , ▁from ▁the ▁least ▁to ▁the ▁greatest , ▁is ▁given ▁up ▁to ▁getting ▁money ; ▁from ▁the ▁priest ▁even ▁to ▁the ▁prophet , ▁everyone ▁is ▁false . ▁Then ▁the ▁woman ▁in ▁her ▁wisdom ▁had ▁talk ▁with ▁all ▁the ▁town . ▁And ▁they ▁had ▁She ba ' s ▁head ▁cut ▁off ▁and ▁sent ▁out ▁to ▁Joab . ▁And ▁he ▁had ▁the ▁horn ▁s ounded , ▁and ▁sent ▁them ▁all ▁away ▁from ▁the ▁town , ▁every ▁man ▁to ▁his ▁tent . ▁And ▁Joab ▁went ▁back ▁to ▁Jerusalem ▁to ▁the ▁king . ▁For ▁this ▁reason , ▁truly , ▁I ▁will ▁make ▁them ▁see , ▁this ▁once ▁I ▁will ▁give ▁them ▁knowledge ▁of ▁my ▁hand ▁and ▁my ▁power ; ▁and ▁they ▁will ▁be ▁certain ▁that ▁my ▁name ▁is ▁the ▁Lord . ▁And ▁I ▁will ▁give ▁you ▁the ▁store s ▁of ▁the ▁dark , ▁and ▁the ▁wealth ▁of ▁secret ▁places , ▁so ▁that ▁you ▁may ▁be ▁certain ▁that ▁I ▁am ▁the ▁Lord , ▁who ▁gave ▁you ▁your ▁name , ▁even ▁the ▁God ▁of ▁Israel . ▁And ▁the ▁Lord ▁said ▁to ▁Moses , ▁For ▁though ▁the ▁fig - t ree ▁has ▁no ▁flowers , ▁and ▁there ▁is ▁no ▁fruit ▁on ▁the ▁vine , ▁and ▁work ▁on ▁the ▁ol ive ▁comes ▁to ▁nothing , ▁and ▁the ▁fields ▁give ▁no ▁food ; ▁and ▁the ▁flock ▁is ▁cut ▁off ▁from ▁its ▁rest ing - place , ▁and ▁there ▁is ▁no ▁herd ▁in ▁the ▁cattle - h ouse : ▁The ▁Lord ▁is ▁the ▁support ▁of ▁all ▁who ▁are ▁crushed , ▁and ▁the ▁lif ter ▁up ▁of ▁all ▁who ▁are ▁b ent ▁down . ▁For ▁the ▁men ▁of ▁Jerusalem ▁and ▁their ▁rulers , ▁having ▁no ▁knowledge ▁of ▁him , ▁or ▁of ▁the ▁say ings ▁of ▁the ▁prophets ▁which ▁come ▁to ▁their ▁ears ▁every ▁Sab bath ▁day , ▁gave ▁effect ▁to ▁them ▁by ▁jud ging ▁him . ▁And ▁there ▁came ▁to ▁my ▁ears ▁a ▁great ▁voice ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁high ▁seat , ▁saying , ▁See , ▁the ▁T ent ▁of ▁God ▁is ▁with ▁men , ▁and ▁he ▁will ▁make ▁his ▁living - place ▁with ▁them , ▁and ▁they ▁will ▁be ▁his ▁people , ▁and ▁God ▁himself ▁will ▁be ▁with ▁them , ▁and ▁be ▁their ▁God . ▁And ▁of ▁the ▁sons ▁of ▁El iz ap han , ▁Sh im ri ▁and ▁Je uel ; ▁and ▁of ▁the ▁sons ▁of ▁As aph , ▁Z ech aria h ▁and ▁M att an iah ; ▁And ▁Jud as , ▁who ▁was ▁false ▁to ▁him , ▁had ▁knowledge ▁of ▁the ▁place ▁because ▁Jesus ▁went ▁there ▁frequently ▁with ▁his ▁disciples . ▁Of ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Joseph : ▁of ▁the ▁tribe ▁of ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Man asse h , ▁a ▁chief , ▁H anni el , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Eph od : ▁Like ▁a ▁r ing ▁of ▁gold ▁in ▁the ▁nose ▁of ▁a ▁p ig , ▁is ▁a ▁beautiful ▁woman ▁who ▁has ▁no ▁sense . ▁You ▁may ▁not ▁take ▁an ▁oath ▁by ▁your ▁head , ▁because ▁you ▁are ▁not ▁able ▁to ▁make ▁one ▁hair ▁white ▁or ▁black . ▁So ▁Joseph ▁came ▁to ▁his ▁death , ▁being ▁a ▁hundred ▁and ▁ten ▁years ▁old : ▁and ▁they ▁made ▁his ▁body ▁ready , ▁and ▁he ▁was ▁put ▁in ▁a ▁c hest ▁in ▁Egypt . ▁And ▁the ▁men ▁went ▁on ▁from ▁there ▁in ▁the ▁direction ▁of ▁S od om ; ▁and ▁Abraham ▁went ▁with ▁them ▁on ▁their ▁way . ▁Then ▁they ▁made ▁the ▁b er yl ▁stones , ▁fixed ▁in ▁tw isted ▁f ram es ▁of ▁gold ▁and ▁cut ▁like ▁the ▁cutting ▁of ▁a ▁stamp , ▁with ▁the ▁names ▁of ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel . ▁Now ▁it ▁came ▁about ▁that ▁while ▁the ▁people ▁came ▁p us hing ▁to ▁be ▁near ▁him , ▁and ▁to ▁have ▁knowledge ▁of ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁God , ▁he ▁was ▁by ▁a ▁wide ▁stret ch ▁of ▁water ▁named ▁G enn es are t ; ▁Your ▁arrows ▁are ▁sharp ▁in ▁the ▁heart ▁of ▁the ▁king ' s ▁hat ers ; ▁because ▁of ▁them ▁the ▁peoples ▁are ▁falling ▁under ▁you . ▁And ▁the ▁Lord ▁said ▁to ▁Moses , ▁And ▁I ▁saw ▁coming ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁mouth ▁of ▁the ▁dra gon , ▁and ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁mouth ▁of ▁the ▁beast , ▁and ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁mouth ▁of ▁the ▁false ▁prophet , ▁three ▁unclean ▁spir its , ▁like ▁f rog s . ▁The ▁Lord ▁has ▁given ▁up ▁to ▁destruction ▁all ▁the ▁living - pl aces ▁of ▁Jacob ▁without ▁pity ; ▁pull ing ▁down ▁in ▁his ▁wrath ▁the ▁strong ▁places ▁of ▁the ▁daughter ▁of ▁Judah , ▁stret ching ▁out ▁on ▁the ▁earth ▁the ▁wounded , ▁even ▁her ▁king ▁and ▁her ▁rulers . ▁The ▁word ▁which ▁he ▁sent ▁to ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel , ▁giving ▁the ▁good ▁news ▁of ▁peace ▁through ▁Jesus ▁Christ ▁( wh o ▁is ▁Lord ▁of ▁all ) ▁ â € ” ▁Make ▁me ▁free , ▁and ▁take ▁me ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁hands ▁of ▁strange ▁men , ▁in ▁whose ▁mouth s ▁are ▁false ▁words , ▁and ▁whose ▁right ▁hand ▁is ▁a ▁right ▁hand ▁of ▁deceit . ▁Then ▁they ▁said , ▁Come , ▁let ▁us ▁make ▁a ▁design ▁against ▁Jerem iah ; ▁for ▁teaching ▁will ▁never ▁be ▁cut ▁off ▁from ▁the ▁priest , ▁or ▁wisdom ▁from ▁the ▁wise , ▁or ▁the ▁word ▁from ▁the ▁prophet . ▁Come , ▁let ▁us ▁make ▁use ▁of ▁his ▁words ▁for ▁an ▁attack ▁on ▁him , ▁and ▁let ▁us ▁give ▁attention ▁with ▁care ▁to ▁what ▁he ▁says . ▁Let ▁all ▁things ▁be ▁tested ; ▁keep ▁to ▁what ▁is ▁good ; ▁And ▁he ▁went ▁away ▁from ▁there , ▁and ▁came ▁into ▁his ▁country ; ▁and ▁his ▁disciples ▁went ▁with ▁him . ▁Now ▁there ▁was ▁of ▁Saul ' s ▁people ▁a ▁servant ▁named ▁Z ib a , ▁and ▁they ▁sent ▁him ▁to ▁David ; ▁and ▁the ▁king ▁said ▁to ▁him , ▁Are ▁you ▁Z ib a ? ▁And ▁he ▁said , ▁I ▁am . ▁And ▁do ▁you ▁make ▁prayers ▁to ▁your ▁god , ▁and ▁I ▁will ▁make ▁a ▁prayer ▁to ▁the ▁Lord : ▁and ▁it ▁will ▁be ▁clear ▁that ▁the ▁one ▁who ▁gives ▁an ▁answer ▁by ▁fire ▁is ▁God . ▁And ▁all ▁the ▁people ▁in ▁answer ▁said , ▁It ▁is ▁well ▁said . ▁Keep ▁your ▁servant ▁back ▁from ▁sins ▁of ▁pride ; ▁let ▁them ▁not ▁have ▁rule ▁over ▁me : ▁then ▁will ▁I ▁be ▁upright ▁and ▁free ▁from ▁great ▁sin . ▁And ▁when ▁Ab ner ▁was ▁back ▁in ▁Hebron , ▁Joab ▁took ▁him ▁on ▁one ▁side ▁by ▁the ▁door way ▁of ▁the ▁town ▁to ▁have ▁a ▁word ▁with ▁him ▁quiet ly , ▁and ▁there ▁he ▁gave ▁him ▁a ▁w ound ▁in ▁the ▁st om ach , ▁causing ▁his ▁death ▁in ▁payment ▁for ▁the ▁death ▁of ▁his ▁brother ▁As a hel . ▁Give ▁attention ▁to ▁yourselves , ▁and ▁to ▁all ▁the ▁flock ▁which ▁the ▁Holy ▁Spirit ▁has ▁given ▁into ▁your ▁care , ▁to ▁give ▁food ▁to ▁the ▁church ▁of ▁God , ▁for ▁which ▁he ▁gave ▁his ▁blood . ▁Th ough ▁he ▁takes ▁care ▁of ▁it , ▁and ▁does ▁not ▁let ▁it ▁go , ▁but ▁keep s ▁it ▁still ▁in ▁his ▁mouth ; ▁And ▁another ▁of ▁the ▁disciples ▁said ▁to ▁him , ▁Lord , ▁let ▁me ▁first ▁go ▁and ▁give ▁the ▁last ▁hon ours ▁to ▁my ▁father . ▁And ▁make ▁holy ▁rob es ▁for ▁Aaron ▁your ▁brother , ▁so ▁that ▁he ▁may ▁be ▁clot hed ▁with ▁glory ▁and ▁honour . ▁And ▁Jesus , ▁whose ▁other ▁name ▁is ▁Just us ; ▁these ▁are ▁of ▁the ▁circum c ision : ▁they ▁are ▁my ▁only ▁brother - work ers ▁for ▁the ▁kingdom ▁of ▁God , ▁who ▁have ▁been ▁a ▁comfort ▁to ▁me . ▁Because ▁through ▁him ▁the ▁two ▁of ▁us ▁are ▁able ▁to ▁come ▁near ▁in ▁one ▁Spirit ▁to ▁the ▁Father . ▁In ▁that ▁day , ▁says ▁the ▁Lord ▁of ▁armies , ▁will ▁the ▁n ail ▁fixed ▁in ▁a ▁safe ▁place ▁give ▁way ; ▁and ▁it ▁will ▁be ▁cut ▁down , ▁and ▁in ▁its ▁fall ▁the ▁weight ▁h anging ▁on ▁it ▁will ▁be ▁cut ▁off , ▁for ▁the ▁Lord ▁has ▁said ▁it . ▁Now ▁it ▁came ▁about ▁in ▁the ▁seventh ▁month ▁that ▁Ish ma el , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁N eth an iah , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁E lish ama , ▁of ▁the ▁king ' s ▁seed , ▁having ▁with ▁him ▁ten ▁men , ▁came ▁to ▁G ed al iah , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Ah ik am , ▁in ▁M iz p ah ; ▁and ▁they ▁had ▁a ▁meal ▁together ▁in ▁M iz p ah . ▁And ▁a ▁basket ▁of ▁un le av ened ▁bread , ▁cakes ▁of ▁the ▁best ▁meal ▁m ixed ▁with ▁oil , ▁and ▁thin ▁un le av ened ▁cakes ▁covered ▁with ▁oil , ▁with ▁their ▁meal ▁offering ▁and ▁drink ▁offerings . ▁But ▁he ▁was ▁full ▁of ▁the ▁Holy ▁Spirit , ▁and ▁looking ▁up ▁to ▁heaven , ▁he ▁saw ▁the ▁glory ▁of ▁God ▁and ▁Jesus ▁at ▁the ▁right ▁hand ▁of ▁God . ▁But ▁we , ▁my ▁brothers , ▁being ▁away ▁from ▁you ▁for ▁a ▁short ▁time , ▁in ▁body ▁but ▁not ▁in ▁heart , ▁had ▁all ▁the ▁more ▁desire ▁to ▁see ▁your ▁face ; ▁And ▁gave ▁their ▁land ▁for ▁a ▁heritage , ▁even ▁for ▁a ▁heritage ▁to ▁Israel ▁his ▁people . ▁S ih on , ▁king ▁of ▁the ▁Am or ites : ▁for ▁his ▁mercy ▁is ▁unch anging ▁for ▁ever : ▁For ▁if ▁I ▁had ▁put ▁the ▁full ▁weight ▁of ▁my ▁hand ▁on ▁you ▁and ▁your ▁people , ▁you ▁would ▁have ▁been ▁cut ▁off ▁from ▁the ▁earth : ▁So ▁the ▁other ▁disciples ▁said ▁to ▁him , ▁We ▁have ▁seen ▁the ▁Lord . ▁But ▁he ▁said ▁to ▁them , ▁If ▁I ▁do ▁not ▁see ▁in ▁his ▁hands ▁the ▁pr int ▁of ▁the ▁n ails ▁and ▁put ▁my ▁fing er ▁into ▁the ▁pr int ▁of ▁the ▁n ails , ▁and ▁if ▁I ▁do ▁not ▁put ▁my ▁hand ▁into ▁his ▁side , ▁I ▁will ▁never ▁have ▁belief . ▁To ▁Sim on ▁he ▁gave ▁the ▁second ▁name ▁of ▁Peter ; ▁H app y ▁are ▁your ▁wives ▁and ▁happy ▁these ▁your ▁servants ▁whose ▁place ▁is ▁ever ▁before ▁you , ▁hearing ▁your ▁words ▁of ▁wisdom . ▁And ▁he ▁took ▁the ▁blind ▁man ▁by ▁the ▁hand , ▁and ▁went ▁with ▁him ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁town ; ▁and ▁when ▁he ▁had ▁put ▁water ▁from ▁his ▁mouth ▁on ▁his ▁eyes , ▁and ▁put ▁his ▁hands ▁on ▁him , ▁he ▁said , ▁Do ▁you ▁see ▁anything ? ▁Having ▁then ▁a ▁great ▁high ▁priest , ▁who ▁has ▁made ▁his ▁way ▁through ▁the ▁heavens , ▁even ▁Jesus ▁the ▁Son ▁of ▁God , ▁let ▁us ▁be ▁strong ▁in ▁our ▁faith . ▁Let ▁all ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel ▁be ▁numbered , ▁by ▁the ▁names ▁of ▁their ▁fathers ' ▁families , ▁all ▁those ▁of ▁twenty ▁years ▁old ▁and ▁over ▁who ▁are ▁able ▁to ▁go ▁to ▁war ▁in ▁Israel . ▁On ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁two ▁or ▁three ▁witness es , ▁a ▁man ▁may ▁be ▁given ▁the ▁punishment ▁of ▁death ; ▁but ▁he ▁is ▁not ▁to ▁be ▁put ▁to ▁death ▁on ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁one ▁witness . ▁Let ▁your ▁hearts ▁be ▁broken , ▁and ▁not ▁your ▁clothing , ▁and ▁come ▁back ▁to ▁the ▁Lord ▁your ▁God : ▁for ▁he ▁is ▁full ▁of ▁grace ▁and ▁pity , ▁slow ▁to ▁be ▁angry ▁and ▁great ▁in ▁mercy , ▁ready ▁to ▁be ▁turned ▁from ▁his ▁purpose ▁of ▁punishment . ▁Why ▁do ▁you ▁give ▁your ▁money ▁for ▁what ▁is ▁not ▁bread , ▁and ▁the ▁fruit ▁of ▁your ▁work ▁for ▁what ▁will ▁not ▁give ▁you ▁pleasure ? ▁Give ▁ear ▁to ▁me , ▁so ▁that ▁your ▁food ▁may ▁be ▁good , ▁and ▁you ▁may ▁have ▁the ▁best ▁in ▁full ▁measure . ▁Then ▁Ne b uch ad ne zz ar ▁came ▁near ▁the ▁door ▁of ▁the ▁burning ▁and ▁fl am ing ▁fire : ▁he ▁made ▁answer ▁and ▁said , ▁Sh adra ch , ▁M esh ach , ▁and ▁Ab ed - ne go , ▁you ▁servants ▁of ▁the ▁Most ▁High ▁God , ▁come ▁out ▁and ▁come ▁here . ▁Then ▁Sh adra ch , ▁M esh ach , ▁and ▁Ab ed - ne go ▁came ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁fire . ▁Saul ▁and ▁Jonathan ▁were ▁loved ▁and ▁ple asing ; ▁in ▁their ▁lives ▁and ▁in ▁their ▁death ▁they ▁were ▁not ▁part ed ; ▁they ▁went ▁more ▁quickly ▁than ▁e ag les , ▁they ▁were ▁strong er ▁than ▁l ions . ▁He ▁sent ▁to ▁those ▁who ▁were ▁in ▁Beth - el , ▁and ▁in ▁Ram ah ▁of ▁the ▁South , ▁and ▁in ▁J att ir ; ▁Even ▁so , ▁when ▁you ▁see ▁these ▁things ▁taking ▁place , ▁you ▁may ▁be ▁certain ▁that ▁he ▁is ▁near , ▁even ▁at ▁the ▁doors . ▁Like ▁a ▁troubled ▁f ount ain ▁and ▁a ▁d irty ▁sp ring , ▁is ▁an ▁upright ▁man ▁who ▁has ▁to ▁give ▁way ▁before ▁evil - do ers . ▁And ▁not ▁to ▁the ▁Lord : ▁for ▁this ▁reason , ▁he ▁put ▁him ▁to ▁death ▁and ▁gave ▁the ▁kingdom ▁to ▁David , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Jes se . ▁But ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁grain - pl ants ▁were ▁und am aged , ▁for ▁they ▁had ▁not ▁come ▁up . ▁Then ▁I ▁will ▁take ▁away ▁my ▁hand , ▁and ▁you ▁will ▁see ▁my ▁back : ▁but ▁my ▁face ▁is ▁not ▁to ▁be ▁seen . ▁He ▁put ▁up ▁the ▁pill ars ▁at ▁the ▁door way ▁of ▁the ▁Temple , ▁nam ing ▁the ▁one ▁on ▁the ▁right ▁J ach in , ▁and ▁that ▁on ▁the ▁left ▁Bo az . ▁F al se ▁lips ▁are ▁h ated ▁by ▁the ▁Lord , ▁but ▁those ▁whose ▁acts ▁are ▁true ▁are ▁his ▁delight . ▁While ▁this ▁was ▁taking ▁place , ▁the ▁disciples ▁were ▁saying ▁to ▁Jesus , ▁Master , ▁take ▁some ▁food . ▁Have ▁any ▁of ▁the ▁rulers ▁belief ▁in ▁him , ▁or ▁any ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁Ph ar ise es ? ▁Jesus ▁said ▁to ▁her , ▁W oman , ▁this ▁is ▁not ▁your ▁business ; ▁my ▁time ▁is ▁still ▁to ▁come . ▁For ▁we ▁are ▁workers ▁with ▁God : ▁you ▁are ▁God ' s ▁plant ing , ▁God ' s ▁building . ▁Now ▁H ob ab ▁the ▁K en ite , ▁Moses ' ▁father - in - law , ▁had ▁come ▁up ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁town ▁of ▁pal m - t rees , ▁with ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Judah , ▁into ▁the ▁waste ▁land ▁of ▁Ar ad ; ▁and ▁he ▁went ▁and ▁was ▁living ▁among ▁the ▁Am ale k ites ; ▁Jesus ▁said ▁to ▁them , ▁Come ▁and ▁take ▁some ▁food . ▁And ▁all ▁the ▁disciples ▁were ▁in ▁fear ▁of ▁putting ▁the ▁question , ▁Who ▁are ▁you ? ▁being ▁conscious ▁that ▁it ▁was ▁the ▁Lord . ▁Do ▁not ▁make ▁attempt s ▁to ▁get ▁equal ▁with ▁one ▁who ▁has ▁done ▁you ▁wrong , ▁or ▁keep ▁hard ▁feel ings ▁against ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁your ▁people , ▁but ▁have ▁love ▁for ▁your ▁neighbour ▁as ▁for ▁yourself : ▁I ▁am ▁the ▁Lord . ▁The ▁men ▁of ▁Babylon ▁made ▁Su cc oth - b en oth , ▁and ▁the ▁men ▁of ▁C uth ▁made ▁N erg al , ▁and ▁the ▁men ▁of ▁Ham ath ▁made ▁Ash ima , ▁Then ▁the ▁Lord ▁said ▁to ▁him ▁again , ▁Put ▁your ▁hand ▁inside ▁your ▁clothing . ▁And ▁he ▁put ▁his ▁hand ▁inside ▁his ▁ro be : ▁and ▁when ▁he ▁took ▁it ▁out ▁it ▁was ▁like ▁the ▁hand ▁of ▁a ▁le per , ▁as ▁white ▁as ▁s now . ▁The ▁nations ▁of ▁which ▁the ▁Lord ▁had ▁said ▁to ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel , ▁You ▁are ▁not ▁to ▁take ▁wives ▁from ▁them ▁and ▁they ▁are ▁not ▁to ▁take ▁wives ▁from ▁you ; ▁or ▁they ▁will ▁certainly ▁make ▁you ▁go ▁after ▁their ▁gods : ▁to ▁these ▁Solomon ▁was ▁un ited ▁in ▁love . ▁This ▁is ▁the ▁word ▁which ▁the ▁Lord ▁said ▁about ▁Moab ▁in ▁the ▁past . ▁Then ▁B ild ad ▁the ▁Sh u h ite ▁made ▁answer ▁and ▁said , ▁And ▁Mal ch ij ah , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Re ch ab , ▁the ▁ruler ▁of ▁the ▁division ▁of ▁Beth - h acc here m , ▁made ▁good ▁the ▁door way ▁of ▁the ▁waste , ▁building ▁it ▁up ▁and ▁putting ▁up ▁its ▁doors , ▁with ▁their ▁loc ks ▁and ▁ro ds . ▁Then ▁God ▁came ▁to ▁L ab an ▁in ▁a ▁dream ▁by ▁night , ▁and ▁said ▁to ▁him , ▁Take ▁care ▁that ▁you ▁say ▁nothing ▁good ▁or ▁bad ▁to ▁Jacob . ▁My ▁heritage ▁has ▁become ▁like ▁a ▁lion ▁in ▁the ▁wood land ▁to ▁me ; ▁her ▁voice ▁has ▁been ▁l oud ▁against ▁me ; ▁so ▁I ▁have ▁hate ▁for ▁her . ▁He ▁who ▁goes ▁in ▁flight ▁from ▁the ▁fear ▁will ▁be ▁overt aken ▁by ▁death ; ▁and ▁he ▁who ▁gets ▁free ▁from ▁death ▁will ▁be ▁taken ▁in ▁the ▁net : ▁for ▁I ▁will ▁make ▁this ▁come ▁on ▁Moab , ▁even ▁the ▁year ▁of ▁their ▁punishment , ▁says ▁the ▁Lord . ▁Let ▁my ▁hat ers ▁be ▁clot hed ▁with ▁shame , ▁covering ▁themselves ▁with ▁shame ▁as ▁with ▁a ▁ro be . ▁For ▁if ▁I ▁make ▁use ▁of ▁tong ues ▁in ▁my ▁prayers , ▁my ▁spirit ▁makes ▁the ▁prayer , ▁but ▁not ▁my ▁mind . ▁Master , ▁Moses ▁said , ▁If ▁a ▁man , ▁at ▁the ▁time ▁of ▁his ▁death , ▁has ▁no ▁children , ▁let ▁his ▁brother ▁take ▁his ▁wife , ▁and ▁get ▁a ▁family ▁for ▁his ▁brother ; ▁And ▁Saul ▁gave ▁orders ▁to ▁his ▁son ▁Jonathan ▁and ▁to ▁all ▁his ▁servants ▁to ▁put ▁David ▁to ▁death . ▁But ▁Saul ' s ▁son ▁Jonathan ▁had ▁great ▁delight ▁in ▁David . ▁And ▁the ▁Lord ▁said ▁to ▁Moses , ▁Let ▁every ▁chief ▁on ▁his ▁day ▁give ▁his ▁offering ▁to ▁make ▁the ▁altar ▁holy . ▁Let ▁them ▁be ▁like ▁dust ▁from ▁the ▁grain ▁before ▁the ▁wind ; ▁let ▁the ▁angel ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁send ▁them ▁in ▁flight . ▁And ▁Jesus ▁gave ▁another ▁l oud ▁cry , ▁and ▁gave ▁up ▁his ▁spirit . ▁If ▁the ▁Lord ▁had ▁not ▁been ▁my ▁hel per , ▁my ▁soul ▁would ▁quickly ▁have ▁gone ▁down ▁into ▁death . ▁You ▁have ▁been ▁a ▁lo ver ▁of ▁righteousness ▁and ▁a ▁h ater ▁of ▁evil : ▁and ▁so ▁God , ▁your ▁God , ▁has ▁put ▁the ▁oil ▁of ▁joy ▁on ▁your ▁head , ▁lif ting ▁you ▁high ▁over ▁all ▁other ▁kings . ▁This ▁is ▁what ▁all ▁the ▁meeting ▁of ▁the ▁people ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁has ▁said , ▁What ▁is ▁this ▁wrong ▁which ▁you ▁have ▁done ▁against ▁the ▁God ▁of ▁Israel , ▁turning ▁back ▁this ▁day ▁from ▁the ▁Lord ▁and ▁building ▁an ▁altar ▁for ▁yourselves , ▁and ▁being ▁false ▁to ▁the ▁Lord ? ▁And ▁their ▁glory ▁was ▁changed ▁into ▁the ▁image ▁of ▁an ▁ox , ▁whose ▁food ▁is ▁grass . ▁See , ▁O ▁strong ▁man , ▁the ▁Lord ▁will ▁send ▁you ▁viol ently ▁away , ▁g ri pping ▁you ▁with ▁force , ▁And ▁I ▁saw ▁when ▁the ▁six th ▁stamp ▁was ▁und one , ▁and ▁there ▁was ▁a ▁great ▁earth - sh ock ; ▁and ▁the ▁sun ▁became ▁black ▁as ▁ha irc l oth , ▁and ▁all ▁the ▁mo on ▁became ▁as ▁blood ; ▁Then ▁the ▁priest ▁will ▁take ▁the ▁basket ▁from ▁your ▁hand ▁and ▁put ▁it ▁down ▁in ▁front ▁of ▁the ▁altar ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁your ▁God . ▁Where ▁were ▁you ▁when ▁I ▁put ▁the ▁earth ▁on ▁its ▁base ? ▁Say , ▁if ▁you ▁have ▁knowledge . ▁Say ing , ▁This ▁man ▁is ▁teaching ▁the ▁people ▁to ▁give ▁worship ▁to ▁God ▁in ▁a ▁way ▁which ▁is ▁against ▁the ▁law . ▁Now ▁there ▁was ▁a ▁long ▁war ▁between ▁Saul ' s ▁people ▁and ▁David ' s ▁people ; ▁and ▁David ▁became ▁strong er ▁and ▁strong er , ▁but ▁those ▁on ▁Saul ' s ▁side ▁became ▁more ▁and ▁more ▁fee ble . ▁And ▁in ▁Judah ▁the ▁power ▁of ▁God ▁gave ▁them ▁one ▁heart ▁to ▁do ▁the ▁orders ▁of ▁the ▁king ▁and ▁the ▁captains , ▁which ▁were ▁taken ▁as ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁the ▁Lord . ▁Further , ▁without ▁knowledge ▁desire ▁is ▁not ▁good ; ▁and ▁he ▁who ▁is ▁over - qu ick ▁in ▁act ing ▁goes ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁right ▁way . ▁How ▁much ▁more , ▁when ▁evil ▁men ▁have ▁put ▁an ▁upright ▁person ▁to ▁death , ▁in ▁his ▁house , ▁sleeping ▁on ▁his ▁bed , ▁will ▁I ▁take ▁payment ▁from ▁you ▁for ▁his ▁blood , ▁and ▁have ▁you ▁cut ▁off ▁from ▁the ▁earth ? ▁And ▁if ▁she ▁has ▁not ▁money ▁enough ▁for ▁a ▁lamb , ▁then ▁let ▁her ▁take ▁two ▁do ves ▁or ▁two ▁young ▁p ige ons , ▁one ▁for ▁a ▁burned ▁offering ▁and ▁the ▁other ▁for ▁a ▁sin - off ering , ▁and ▁the ▁priest ▁will ▁take ▁away ▁her ▁sin ▁and ▁she ▁will ▁be ▁clean , ▁Let ▁no ▁man ▁have ▁pity ▁on ▁him , ▁or ▁give ▁help ▁to ▁his ▁children ▁when ▁he ▁is ▁dead . ▁Now ▁because ▁we ▁are ▁responsible ▁to ▁the ▁king , ▁and ▁it ▁is ▁not ▁right ▁for ▁us ▁to ▁see ▁the ▁king ' s ▁honour ▁dam aged , ▁we ▁have ▁sent ▁to ▁give ▁the ▁king ▁word ▁of ▁these ▁things , ▁But ▁these ▁are ▁recorded , ▁so ▁that ▁you ▁may ▁have ▁faith ▁that ▁Jesus ▁is ▁the ▁Christ , ▁the ▁Son ▁of ▁God , ▁and ▁so ▁that , ▁having ▁this ▁faith ▁you ▁may ▁have ▁life ▁in ▁his ▁name . ▁See , ▁these ▁are ▁only ▁the ▁out s k ir ts ▁of ▁his ▁ways ; ▁and ▁how ▁small ▁is ▁that ▁which ▁comes ▁to ▁our ▁ears ▁about ▁him ! ▁But ▁the ▁thunder ▁of ▁his ▁acts ▁of ▁power ▁is ▁outside ▁all ▁knowledge . ▁From ▁that ▁time ▁Jesus ▁went ▁about ▁pre aching ▁and ▁saying , ▁Let ▁your ▁hearts ▁be ▁turned ▁from ▁sin , ▁for ▁the ▁kingdom ▁of ▁heaven ▁is ▁near . ▁And ▁it ▁will ▁be ▁their ▁part ▁as ▁a ▁right ▁for ▁ever ▁from ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel , ▁it ▁is ▁a ▁special ▁offering ▁from ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel , ▁made ▁from ▁their ▁peace - off er ings , ▁a ▁special ▁offering ▁lifted ▁up ▁to ▁the ▁Lord . ▁Then ▁Je hu ▁came ▁out ▁again ▁to ▁the ▁servants ▁of ▁his ▁lord , ▁and ▁one ▁said ▁to ▁him , ▁Is ▁all ▁well ? ▁why ▁did ▁this ▁man , ▁who ▁is ▁off ▁his ▁head , ▁come ▁to ▁you ? ▁And ▁he ▁said ▁to ▁them , ▁You ▁have ▁knowledge ▁of ▁the ▁man ▁and ▁of ▁his ▁talk . ▁But ▁I ▁say , ▁Go ▁on ▁in ▁the ▁Spirit , ▁and ▁you ▁will ▁not ▁come ▁under ▁the ▁rule ▁of ▁the ▁evil ▁des ires ▁of ▁the ▁flesh . ▁I ▁have ▁been ▁true ▁to ▁your ▁unch anging ▁word ; ▁O ▁Lord , ▁do ▁not ▁put ▁me ▁to ▁shame . ▁You ▁have ▁knowledge ▁that ▁it ▁was ▁said , ▁You ▁may ▁not ▁have ▁connection ▁with ▁another ▁man ' s ▁wife : ▁But ▁as ▁for ▁the ▁sin ners , ▁they ▁will ▁be ▁cut ▁off ▁together ; ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁wrongdo ers ▁is ▁destruction . ▁For ▁this ▁cause ▁his ▁net ▁is ▁ever ▁open , ▁and ▁there ▁is ▁no ▁end ▁to ▁his ▁destruction ▁of ▁the ▁nations . ▁But ▁if ▁any ▁man ▁will ▁not ▁be ▁ruled ▁in ▁this ▁question , ▁this ▁is ▁not ▁our ▁way ▁of ▁doing ▁things , ▁and ▁it ▁is ▁not ▁done ▁in ▁the ▁chur ches ▁of ▁God . ▁Let ▁your ▁mercy ▁now ▁be ▁my ▁comfort , ▁as ▁you ▁have ▁said ▁to ▁your ▁servant . ▁If ▁any ▁man ▁has ▁not ▁love ▁for ▁the ▁Lord , ▁let ▁him ▁be ▁curs ed . ▁Mar an ▁a tha ▁( our ▁Lord ▁comes ). ▁When ▁a ▁man ▁takes ▁an ▁oath ▁to ▁the ▁Lord , ▁or ▁gives ▁an ▁undert aking ▁having ▁the ▁force ▁of ▁an ▁oath , ▁let ▁him ▁not ▁go ▁back ▁from ▁his ▁word , ▁but ▁let ▁him ▁do ▁whatever ▁he ▁has ▁said ▁he ▁will ▁do . ▁If ▁a ▁man ▁has ▁the ▁fear ▁of ▁the ▁Lord , ▁the ▁Lord ▁will ▁be ▁his ▁teacher ▁in ▁the ▁way ▁of ▁his ▁pleasure . ▁Who ▁took ▁the ▁fat ▁of ▁their ▁offerings , ▁and ▁the ▁wine ▁of ▁their ▁drink ▁offering ? ▁Let ▁them ▁now ▁come ▁to ▁your ▁help , ▁let ▁them ▁be ▁your ▁salvation . ▁Let ▁your ▁ear ▁now ▁take ▁note ▁and ▁let ▁your ▁eyes ▁be ▁open , ▁so ▁that ▁you ▁may ▁give ▁ear ▁to ▁the ▁prayer ▁of ▁your ▁servant , ▁which ▁I ▁make ▁before ▁you ▁at ▁this ▁time , ▁day ▁and ▁night , ▁for ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel , ▁your ▁servants , ▁while ▁I ▁put ▁before ▁you ▁the ▁sins ▁of ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel , ▁which ▁we ▁have ▁done ▁against ▁you : ▁truly , ▁I ▁and ▁my ▁father ' s ▁people ▁are ▁sin ners . ▁Take ▁care ▁that ▁you ▁do ▁not ▁make ▁your ▁burned ▁offerings ▁in ▁any ▁place ▁you ▁see : ▁And ▁these ▁are ▁they ▁by ▁the ▁ways ide , ▁where ▁the ▁word ▁is ▁planted ; ▁and ▁when ▁they ▁have ▁given ▁ear , ▁the ▁Ev il ▁One ▁comes ▁straight ▁away ▁and ▁takes ▁away ▁the ▁word ▁which ▁has ▁been ▁planted ▁in ▁them . ▁The ▁door ▁to ▁the ▁lowest ▁side ▁rooms ▁was ▁in ▁the ▁right ▁side ▁of ▁the ▁house ; ▁and ▁they ▁went ▁up ▁by ▁tw ist ing ▁steps ▁into ▁the ▁middle ▁rooms , ▁and ▁from ▁the ▁middle ▁into ▁the ▁third . ▁And ▁someone ▁came ▁and ▁said ▁to ▁them , ▁The ▁men , ▁whom ▁you ▁put ▁in ▁prison , ▁are ▁in ▁the ▁Temple ▁teaching ▁the ▁people . ▁Jesus ▁said ▁in ▁answer , ▁It ▁was ▁not ▁because ▁of ▁his ▁sin , ▁or ▁because ▁of ▁his ▁father ' s ▁or ▁mother ' s ; ▁it ▁was ▁so ▁that ▁the ▁works ▁of ▁God ▁might ▁be ▁seen ▁open ly ▁in ▁him . ▁Then ▁the ▁king ▁said ▁to ▁the ▁run ners ▁who ▁were ▁waiting ▁near ▁him , ▁Put ▁the ▁priests ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁to ▁death ; ▁because ▁they ▁are ▁on ▁David ' s ▁side , ▁and ▁having ▁knowledge ▁of ▁his ▁flight , ▁did ▁not ▁give ▁me ▁word ▁of ▁it . ▁But ▁the ▁king ' s ▁servants ▁would ▁not ▁put ▁out ▁their ▁hands ▁to ▁make ▁an ▁attack ▁on ▁the ▁Lord ' s ▁priests . ▁For ▁this ▁reason ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁came ▁to ▁Jerem iah ▁from ▁the ▁Lord , ▁saying , ▁So ▁he ▁said ▁to ▁his ▁servants , ▁See , ▁Joab ' s ▁field ▁is ▁near ▁mine , ▁and ▁he ▁has ▁barley ▁in ▁it ; ▁go ▁and ▁put ▁it ▁on ▁fire . ▁And ▁Ab sal om ' s ▁servants ▁put ▁the ▁field ▁on ▁fire . ▁Je h oram ▁was ▁thirty - two ▁years ▁old ▁when ▁he ▁became ▁king ; ▁and ▁he ▁was ▁ruling ▁in ▁Jerusalem ▁for ▁eight ▁years . ▁Wh ich ▁God ▁has ▁now ▁put ▁into ▁effect ▁for ▁our ▁children , ▁by ▁sending ▁Jesus ; ▁as ▁it ▁says ▁in ▁the ▁second ▁P sal m , ▁You ▁are ▁my ▁Son ; ▁this ▁day ▁I ▁have ▁given ▁you ▁being . ▁But ▁the ▁Lord ▁will ▁make ▁Israel ▁free ▁with ▁an ▁e ternal ▁salvation : ▁you ▁will ▁not ▁be ▁put ▁to ▁shame ▁or ▁made ▁low ▁for ▁ever ▁and ▁ever . ▁Let ▁it ▁be ▁your ▁care ▁to ▁get ▁the ▁approval ▁of ▁God , ▁as ▁a ▁work man ▁who ▁has ▁no ▁cause ▁for ▁shame , ▁giving ▁the ▁true ▁word ▁in ▁the ▁right ▁way . ▁There ▁were ▁forty - f our ▁thousand , ▁seven ▁hundred ▁and ▁sixty ▁of ▁the ▁sons ▁of ▁Re ub en ▁and ▁of ▁the ▁Gad ites ▁and ▁of ▁the ▁half - t rib e ▁of ▁Man asse h , ▁all ▁strong ▁men , ▁expert ▁in ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁the ▁body - c over , ▁the ▁sword , ▁and ▁the ▁bow , ▁and ▁in ▁the ▁art ▁of ▁war , ▁all ▁able ▁to ▁take ▁up ▁arms . ▁And ▁the ▁Lord ▁said ▁to ▁me , ▁Say ▁to ▁them , ▁Do ▁not ▁go ▁up ▁to ▁the ▁attack ; ▁for ▁I ▁am ▁not ▁among ▁you , ▁and ▁you ▁will ▁be ▁overcome ▁by ▁those ▁who ▁are ▁against ▁you . ▁If ▁the ▁upright ▁man ▁is ▁re ward ed ▁on ▁earth , ▁how ▁much ▁more ▁the ▁evil - do er ▁and ▁the ▁sin ner ! ▁Then ▁I ▁was ▁by ▁his ▁side , ▁as ▁a ▁master ▁work man : ▁and ▁I ▁was ▁his ▁delight ▁from ▁day ▁to ▁day , ▁playing ▁before ▁him ▁at ▁all ▁times ; ▁Keep ▁with ▁care ▁the ▁orders ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁your ▁God , ▁and ▁his ▁rules ▁and ▁his ▁laws ▁which ▁he ▁has ▁given ▁you ; ▁And ▁T am ar , ▁his ▁daughter - in - law , ▁had ▁Pere z ▁and ▁Z er ah ▁by ▁him . ▁All ▁the ▁sons ▁of ▁Judah ▁were ▁five . ▁See , ▁I ▁will ▁send ▁fear ▁on ▁you , ▁says ▁the ▁Lord , ▁the ▁Lord ▁of ▁armies , ▁from ▁those ▁who ▁are ▁round ▁you ▁on ▁every ▁side ; ▁you ▁will ▁be ▁forced ▁out , ▁every ▁man ▁straight ▁before ▁him , ▁and ▁there ▁will ▁be ▁no ▁one ▁to ▁get ▁together ▁the ▁w and e rers . ▁I ▁have ▁had ▁word ▁that ▁you ▁have ▁w ool - cut ters : ▁now ▁the ▁keep ers ▁of ▁your ▁sheep ▁have ▁been ▁with ▁us , ▁and ▁we ▁have ▁done ▁them ▁no ▁evil , ▁and ▁taken ▁nothing ▁of ▁their s ▁while ▁they ▁were ▁in ▁C arm el . ▁They ▁made ▁war ▁with ▁B era , ▁king ▁of ▁S od om , ▁and ▁with ▁B ir s ha , ▁king ▁of ▁G om or ra h , ▁Sh in ab , ▁king ▁of ▁Ad m ah , ▁and ▁She me ber , ▁king ▁of ▁Z e bo i im , ▁and ▁the ▁king ▁of ▁B ela ▁( which ▁is ▁Z o ar ). ▁S ays ▁the ▁Lord ▁who ▁takes ▁up ▁our ▁cause ; ▁the ▁Lord ▁of ▁armies ▁is ▁his ▁name , ▁the ▁Holy ▁One ▁of ▁Israel . ▁Do ▁not ▁make ▁little ▁of ▁the ▁words ▁of ▁the ▁prophets ; ▁I ▁give ▁praise ▁to ▁God , ▁whose ▁servant ▁I ▁have ▁been , ▁with ▁a ▁heart ▁free ▁from ▁sin , ▁from ▁the ▁time ▁of ▁my ▁fathers , ▁because ▁in ▁my ▁prayers ▁at ▁all ▁times ▁the ▁thought ▁of ▁you ▁is ▁with ▁me , ▁night ▁and ▁day ▁I ▁came ▁near ▁to ▁one ▁of ▁those ▁who ▁were ▁waiting ▁there , ▁question ing ▁him ▁about ▁what ▁all ▁this ▁was . ▁And ▁he ▁said ▁to ▁me ▁that ▁he ▁would ▁make ▁clear ▁to ▁me ▁the ▁sense ▁of ▁these ▁things . ▁All ▁the ▁nations ▁have ▁come ▁round ▁me ; ▁but ▁in ▁the ▁name ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁I ▁will ▁have ▁them ▁cut ▁down . ▁Then ▁Pharaoh ▁went ▁into ▁his ▁house , ▁and ▁did ▁not ▁take ▁even ▁this ▁to ▁heart . ▁And ▁he ▁made ▁places ▁for ▁worship ▁at ▁the ▁high ▁places , ▁and ▁made ▁priests , ▁who ▁were ▁not ▁Levites , ▁from ▁among ▁all ▁the ▁people . ▁Then ▁Jos hua ▁said ▁to ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Joseph , ▁to ▁Ephraim ▁and ▁Man asse h , ▁You ▁are ▁a ▁great ▁people , ▁and ▁have ▁great ▁power : ▁you ▁are ▁not ▁to ▁have ▁one ▁property ▁only , ▁His ▁strength ▁is ▁in ▁his ▁body , ▁and ▁his ▁force ▁in ▁the ▁mus cles ▁of ▁his ▁st om ach . ▁And ▁when ▁David ▁saw ▁the ▁angel ▁who ▁was ▁causing ▁the ▁destruction ▁of ▁the ▁people , ▁he ▁said ▁to ▁the ▁Lord , ▁Tru ly , ▁the ▁sin ▁is ▁mine ; ▁I ▁have ▁done ▁wrong : ▁but ▁these ▁are ▁only ▁sheep ; ▁what ▁have ▁they ▁done ? ▁let ▁your ▁hand ▁be ▁against ▁me ▁and ▁against ▁my ▁family . ▁That ▁which ▁has ▁been , ▁is ▁that ▁which ▁is ▁to ▁be , ▁and ▁that ▁which ▁has ▁been ▁done , ▁is ▁that ▁which ▁will ▁be ▁done , ▁and ▁there ▁is ▁no ▁new ▁thing ▁under ▁the ▁sun . ▁And ▁those ▁of ▁Judah ▁who ▁are ▁still ▁living ▁will ▁again ▁take ▁root ▁in ▁the ▁earth , ▁and ▁give ▁fruit . ▁I ▁will ▁make ▁your ▁seed ▁like ▁the ▁stars ▁of ▁heaven ▁in ▁number , ▁and ▁will ▁give ▁them ▁all ▁these ▁lands , ▁and ▁your ▁seed ▁will ▁be ▁a ▁blessing ▁to ▁all ▁the ▁nations ▁of ▁the ▁earth ; ▁Those ▁who ▁are ▁planted ▁in ▁the ▁house ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁will ▁come ▁up ▁t all ▁and ▁strong ▁in ▁his ▁gard ens . ▁For ▁all ▁who ▁do ▁such ▁things ▁are ▁disgusting ▁to ▁the ▁Lord ; ▁and ▁because ▁of ▁these ▁disgusting ▁things ▁the ▁Lord ▁your ▁God ▁is ▁driving ▁them ▁out ▁before ▁you . ▁At ▁that ▁time ▁they ▁put ▁about ▁ten ▁thousand ▁men ▁of ▁Moab ▁to ▁the ▁sword , ▁every ▁strong ▁man ▁and ▁every ▁man ▁of ▁war ; ▁not ▁a ▁man ▁got ▁away . ▁And ▁the ▁king ▁gave ▁orders ▁to ▁Joab ▁and ▁Ab ish ai ▁and ▁It t ai , ▁saying , ▁Because ▁of ▁me , ▁be ▁gent le ▁to ▁the ▁young ▁man ▁Ab sal om . ▁And ▁this ▁order ▁about ▁Ab sal om ▁was ▁given ▁in ▁the ▁hearing ▁of ▁all ▁the ▁people . ▁C ry ing ▁out , ▁Men ▁of ▁Israel , ▁come ▁to ▁our ▁help : ▁this ▁is ▁the ▁man ▁who ▁is ▁teaching ▁all ▁men ▁everywhere ▁against ▁the ▁people ▁and ▁the ▁law ▁and ▁this ▁place : ▁and ▁in ▁addition , ▁he ▁has ▁taken ▁Greeks ▁into ▁the ▁Temple , ▁and ▁made ▁this ▁holy ▁place ▁unclean . ▁And ▁the ▁waters ▁came ▁back , ▁covering ▁the ▁war - c ar ri ages ▁and ▁the ▁horse men ▁and ▁all ▁the ▁army ▁of ▁Pharaoh ▁which ▁went ▁after ▁them ▁into ▁the ▁middle ▁of ▁the ▁sea ; ▁not ▁one ▁of ▁them ▁was ▁to ▁be ▁seen . ▁God ▁came ▁from ▁Tem an , ▁and ▁the ▁Holy ▁One ▁from ▁Mount ▁Par an . ▁S el ah . ▁The ▁heavens ▁were ▁covered ▁with ▁his ▁glory , ▁and ▁the ▁earth ▁was ▁full ▁of ▁his ▁praise . ▁But ▁if ▁you ▁put ▁your ▁heart ▁right , ▁stret ching ▁out ▁your ▁hands ▁to ▁him ; ▁But , ▁if ▁I ▁do ▁that ▁which ▁I ▁have ▁no ▁mind ▁to ▁do , ▁I ▁am ▁in ▁agreement ▁with ▁the ▁law ▁that ▁the ▁law ▁is ▁good . ▁Then ▁said ▁Bo az ▁to ▁R uth , ▁Give ▁ear ▁to ▁me , ▁my ▁daughter : ▁do ▁not ▁go ▁to ▁take ▁up ▁the ▁grain ▁in ▁another ▁field , ▁or ▁go ▁away ▁from ▁here , ▁but ▁keep ▁here ▁by ▁my ▁young ▁women : ▁This ▁is ▁what ▁the ▁Lord ▁has ▁said : ▁Further , ▁I ▁will ▁take ▁the ▁highest ▁top ▁of ▁the ▁c ed ar ▁and ▁put ▁it ▁in ▁the ▁earth ; ▁cutting ▁off ▁from ▁the ▁highest ▁of ▁his ▁young ▁branches ▁a ▁soft ▁one , ▁I ▁will ▁have ▁it ▁planted ▁on ▁a ▁high ▁and ▁great ▁mountain ; ▁F ool ish ▁man , ▁it ▁is ▁necessary ▁for ▁the ▁seed ▁which ▁you ▁put ▁into ▁the ▁earth ▁to ▁under go ▁death ▁in ▁order ▁that ▁it ▁may ▁come ▁to ▁life ▁again : ▁He ▁came ▁to ▁him ▁in ▁the ▁waste ▁land , ▁in ▁the ▁un pe op led ▁waste ▁of ▁sand : ▁putting ▁his ▁arms ▁round ▁him ▁and ▁car ing ▁for ▁him , ▁he ▁kept ▁him ▁as ▁the ▁light ▁of ▁his ▁eye . ▁I ▁will ▁put ▁an ▁end ▁to ▁the ▁no ise ▁of ▁your ▁song s , ▁and ▁the ▁sound ▁of ▁your ▁instruments ▁of ▁music ▁will ▁be ▁gone ▁for ▁ever . ▁Is ▁it ▁not ▁now ▁the ▁time ▁of ▁the ▁grain ▁cutting ? ▁My ▁cry ▁will ▁go ▁up ▁to ▁the ▁Lord ▁and ▁he ▁will ▁send ▁thunder ▁and ▁rain : ▁so ▁that ▁you ▁may ▁see ▁and ▁be ▁conscious ▁of ▁your ▁great ▁sin ▁which ▁you ▁have ▁done ▁in ▁the ▁eyes ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁in ▁des iring ▁a ▁king ▁for ▁yourselves . ▁All ▁my ▁hat ers ▁are ▁talking ▁secret ly ▁together ▁against ▁me ; ▁they ▁are ▁design ing ▁my ▁down fall . ▁And ▁any ▁vessel ▁of ▁earth ▁which ▁has ▁been ▁tou ched ▁by ▁the ▁unclean ▁man ▁will ▁have ▁to ▁be ▁broken ▁and ▁any ▁vessel ▁of ▁wood ▁was hed . ▁Her ▁hands ▁are ▁stretched ▁out ▁to ▁the ▁poor ; ▁yes , ▁she ▁is ▁open - h anded ▁to ▁those ▁who ▁are ▁in ▁need . ▁Now , ▁about ▁that ▁time , ▁Her od ▁the ▁king ▁made ▁cruel ▁attacks ▁on ▁the ▁Christ ians . ▁And ▁they ▁went ▁on ▁from ▁the ▁waste ▁land ▁of ▁Sin , ▁and ▁put ▁up ▁their ▁tents ▁in ▁D oph k ah . ▁Jesus ▁said ▁to ▁them , ▁If ▁you ▁were ▁blind ▁you ▁would ▁have ▁no ▁sin : ▁but ▁now ▁that ▁you ▁say , ▁We ▁see ; ▁your ▁sin ▁is ▁there ▁still . ▁That ▁we ▁have ▁made ▁our selves ▁an ▁altar , ▁being ▁false ▁to ▁the ▁Lord , ▁keep ▁us ▁not ▁safe ▁from ▁death ▁this ▁day ; ▁and ▁if ▁for ▁the ▁purpose ▁of ▁offering ▁burned ▁offerings ▁on ▁it ▁and ▁meal ▁offerings , ▁or ▁peace - off er ings , ▁let ▁the ▁Lord ▁himself ▁send ▁punishment ▁for ▁it ; ▁And ▁he ▁did ▁the ▁same ▁sins ▁which ▁his ▁father ▁had ▁done ▁before ▁him : ▁his ▁heart ▁was ▁not ▁completely ▁true ▁to ▁the ▁Lord ▁his ▁God , ▁like ▁the ▁heart ▁of ▁David ▁his ▁father . ▁I ▁will ▁let ▁it ▁be ▁overt urned , ▁overt urned , ▁overt urned : ▁this ▁will ▁not ▁be ▁again ▁till ▁he ▁comes ▁whose ▁right ▁it ▁is ; ▁and ▁I ▁will ▁give ▁it ▁to ▁him . ▁And ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁came ▁to ▁me , ▁saying , ▁Now ▁J ep h th ah ▁was ▁judge ▁of ▁Israel ▁for ▁six ▁years . ▁And ▁J ep h th ah ▁the ▁G ile ad ite ▁came ▁to ▁his ▁death , ▁and ▁his ▁body ▁was ▁put ▁to ▁rest ▁in ▁his ▁town , ▁M iz pe h ▁of ▁G ile ad . ▁Or ▁if ▁I ▁send ▁evil ▁beasts ▁through ▁the ▁land ▁causing ▁destruction ▁and ▁making ▁it ▁waste , ▁so ▁that ▁no ▁man ▁may ▁go ▁through ▁because ▁of ▁the ▁beasts : ▁So ▁his ▁brothers ▁said ▁to ▁him , ▁Go ▁away ▁from ▁here ▁into ▁Jud ae a ▁so ▁that ▁your ▁disciples ▁may ▁see ▁the ▁works ▁which ▁you ▁do . ▁Te aching ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel ▁all ▁the ▁laws ▁which ▁the ▁Lord ▁has ▁given ▁them ▁by ▁the ▁hand ▁of ▁Moses . ▁After ▁this ▁he ▁made ▁an ▁outer ▁wall ▁for ▁the ▁town ▁of ▁David , ▁on ▁the ▁west ▁side ▁of ▁G ih on ▁in ▁the ▁valley , ▁as ▁far ▁as ▁the ▁way ▁into ▁the ▁town ▁by ▁the ▁fish ▁door way ; ▁and ▁he ▁put ▁a ▁very ▁high ▁wall ▁round ▁the ▁Op hel ; ▁and ▁he ▁put ▁captains ▁of ▁the ▁army ▁in ▁all ▁the ▁wall ed ▁towns ▁of ▁Judah . ▁And ▁for ▁the ▁third ▁time ▁the ▁Lord ▁said ▁Sam uel ' s ▁name . ▁And ▁he ▁got ▁up ▁and ▁went ▁to ▁Eli ▁and ▁said , ▁Here ▁am ▁I ; ▁for ▁you ▁certainly ▁said ▁my ▁name . ▁Then ▁it ▁was ▁clear ▁to ▁Eli ▁that ▁the ▁voice ▁which ▁had ▁said ▁the ▁child ' s ▁name ▁was ▁the ▁Lord ' s . ▁For ▁when ▁I ▁have ▁taken ▁them ▁into ▁the ▁land ▁named ▁in ▁my ▁oath ▁to ▁their ▁fathers , ▁a ▁land ▁flow ing ▁with ▁milk ▁and ▁h oney , ▁and ▁they ▁have ▁made ▁themselves ▁full ▁of ▁food ▁and ▁are ▁fat , ▁then ▁they ▁will ▁be ▁turned ▁to ▁other ▁gods ▁and ▁will ▁give ▁them ▁worship , ▁no ▁longer ▁honour ing ▁me ▁or ▁keeping ▁my ▁agreement . ▁Then ▁Ab ish ai , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Z er u iah , ▁said ▁to ▁the ▁king , ▁Is ▁this ▁dead ▁dog ▁to ▁go ▁on ▁curs ing ▁my ▁lord ▁the ▁king ? ▁let ▁me ▁go ▁over ▁and ▁take ▁off ▁his ▁head . ▁He ▁who ▁goes ▁about ▁talking ▁of ▁the ▁business ▁of ▁others ▁gives ▁away ▁secre ts : ▁so ▁have ▁nothing ▁to ▁do ▁with ▁him ▁whose ▁lips ▁are ▁open ▁wide . ▁And ▁the ▁king , ▁hearing ▁the ▁words ▁of ▁the ▁book ▁of ▁the ▁law , ▁took ▁his ▁ro be ▁in ▁his ▁hands , ▁viol ently ▁part ing ▁it ▁as ▁a ▁sign ▁of ▁his ▁grief ; ▁If ▁you ▁have ▁not ▁knowledge , ▁O ▁most ▁beautiful ▁among ▁women , ▁go ▁on ▁your ▁way ▁in ▁the ▁foot step s ▁of ▁the ▁flock , ▁and ▁give ▁your ▁young ▁go ats ▁food ▁by ▁the ▁tents ▁of ▁the ▁keep ers . ▁Have ▁I ▁not ▁the ▁right ▁to ▁do ▁as ▁seems ▁good ▁to ▁me ▁in ▁my ▁house ? ▁or ▁is ▁your ▁eye ▁evil , ▁because ▁I ▁am ▁good ? ▁Say , ▁then , ▁that ▁you ▁are ▁my ▁sister , ▁and ▁so ▁it ▁will ▁be ▁well ▁with ▁me ▁because ▁of ▁you , ▁and ▁my ▁life ▁will ▁be ▁kept ▁safe ▁on ▁your ▁account . ▁The ▁prophet ▁whose ▁words ▁are ▁of ▁peace , ▁when ▁his ▁words ▁come ▁true , ▁will ▁be ▁seen ▁to ▁be ▁a ▁prophet ▁whom ▁the ▁Lord ▁has ▁sent . ▁And ▁God ▁gave ▁them ▁his ▁blessing , ▁saying , ▁Be ▁fert ile ▁and ▁have ▁increase , ▁making ▁all ▁the ▁waters ▁of ▁the ▁se as ▁full , ▁and ▁let ▁the ▁birds ▁be ▁increased ▁in ▁the ▁earth . ▁If ▁a ▁woman , ▁being ▁young ▁and ▁under ▁the ▁authority ▁of ▁her ▁father , ▁takes ▁an ▁oath ▁to ▁the ▁Lord ▁or ▁gives ▁an ▁undert aking ; ▁And ▁this ▁is ▁the ▁hope ▁which ▁he ▁gave ▁you , ▁even ▁e ternal ▁life . ▁This ▁is ▁what ▁the ▁Lord ▁has ▁said : ▁Do ▁not ▁go ▁in ▁the ▁way ▁of ▁the ▁nations ; ▁have ▁no ▁fear ▁of ▁the ▁signs ▁of ▁heaven , ▁for ▁the ▁nations ▁go ▁in ▁fear ▁of ▁them . ▁And ▁he ▁made ▁or nam ents ▁of ▁apples ; ▁and ▁two ▁lines ▁of ▁apples ▁all ▁round ▁over ▁the ▁network , ▁covering ▁the ▁crown s ▁of ▁the ▁pill ars , ▁the ▁two ▁crown s ▁in ▁the ▁same ▁way . ▁See , ▁I ▁am ▁against ▁you , ▁you ▁who ▁are ▁living ▁on ▁the ▁rock ▁of ▁the ▁valley , ▁says ▁the ▁Lord ; ▁you ▁who ▁say , ▁Who ▁will ▁come ▁down ▁against ▁us ? ▁or ▁who ▁will ▁get ▁into ▁our ▁houses ? ▁And ▁say , ▁Be ▁our ▁sa vi our , ▁O ▁God ▁of ▁our ▁salvation , ▁and ▁let ▁us ▁come ▁back , ▁and ▁give ▁us ▁salvation ▁from ▁the ▁nations , ▁so ▁that ▁we ▁may ▁give ▁honour ▁to ▁your ▁holy ▁name ▁and ▁have ▁glory ▁in ▁your ▁praise . ▁The ▁land ▁by ▁the ▁sea ▁will ▁be ▁for ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Judah ; ▁by ▁the ▁sea ▁they ▁will ▁give ▁their ▁fl ocks ▁food : ▁in ▁the ▁houses ▁of ▁Ash k el on ▁they ▁will ▁take ▁their ▁rest ▁in ▁the ▁evening ; ▁for ▁the ▁Lord ▁their ▁God ▁will ▁take ▁them ▁in ▁hand ▁and ▁their ▁fate ▁will ▁be ▁changed . ▁Pharaoh ' s ▁war - c ar ri ages ▁and ▁his ▁army ▁he ▁has ▁sent ▁down ▁into ▁the ▁sea : ▁the ▁best ▁of ▁his ▁captains ▁have ▁gone ▁down ▁into ▁the ▁Red ▁Se a . ▁And ▁you ▁saw ▁all ▁the ▁broken ▁places ▁in ▁the ▁wall ▁of ▁the ▁town ▁of ▁David : ▁and ▁you ▁got ▁together ▁the ▁waters ▁of ▁the ▁lower ▁po ol . ▁To ▁put ▁their ▁kings ▁in ▁ch ains , ▁and ▁their ▁rulers ▁in ▁band s ▁of ▁iron ; ▁My ▁t ears ▁have ▁been ▁my ▁food ▁day ▁and ▁night , ▁while ▁they ▁keep ▁saying ▁to ▁me , ▁Where ▁is ▁your ▁God ? ▁I ▁will ▁make ▁clear ▁what ▁your ▁righteousness ▁is ▁like ▁and ▁your ▁works ; ▁you ▁will ▁have ▁no ▁profit ▁in ▁them . ▁For ▁this ▁cause ▁the ▁Lord ▁has ▁said : ▁A ▁curse ▁is ▁on ▁the ▁town ▁of ▁blood ! ▁and ▁I ▁will ▁make ▁great ▁the ▁burning ▁mass . ▁For ▁bitter ▁is ▁the ▁wrath ▁of ▁an ▁angry ▁husband ; ▁in ▁the ▁day ▁of ▁punishment ▁he ▁will ▁have ▁no ▁mercy . ▁O ▁give ▁praise ▁to ▁the ▁God ▁of ▁gods : ▁for ▁his ▁mercy ▁is ▁unch anging ▁for ▁ever . ▁It ▁will ▁not ▁be ▁put ▁out ▁day ▁or ▁night ; ▁its ▁smoke ▁will ▁go ▁up ▁for ▁ever : ▁it ▁will ▁be ▁waste ▁from ▁generation ▁to ▁generation ; ▁no ▁one ▁will ▁go ▁through ▁it ▁for ▁ever . ▁I ▁will ▁send ▁up ▁my ▁cry ▁to ▁the ▁Lord , ▁who ▁is ▁to ▁be ▁pra ised ; ▁so ▁will ▁I ▁be ▁made ▁safe ▁from ▁those ▁who ▁are ▁against ▁me . ▁My ▁desire ▁is , ▁first ▁of ▁all , ▁that ▁you ▁will ▁make ▁requests ▁and ▁prayers ▁and ▁give ▁praise ▁for ▁all ▁men ; ▁I ▁am ▁the ▁g iver ▁of ▁light ▁and ▁the ▁m aker ▁of ▁the ▁dark ; ▁causing ▁blessing , ▁and ▁sending ▁trou bles ; ▁I ▁am ▁the ▁Lord , ▁who ▁does ▁all ▁these ▁things . ▁I ▁will ▁give ▁you ▁praise ▁with ▁an ▁upright ▁heart ▁in ▁learning ▁your ▁right ▁decisions . ▁Let ▁your ▁eyes ▁be ▁lifted ▁up ▁to ▁the ▁heavens , ▁and ▁turned ▁to ▁the ▁earth ▁which ▁is ▁under ▁them : ▁for ▁the ▁heavens ▁will ▁go ▁in ▁flight ▁like ▁smoke , ▁and ▁the ▁earth ▁will ▁become ▁old ▁like ▁a ▁co at , ▁and ▁its ▁people ▁will ▁come ▁to ▁destruction ▁like ▁insect s : ▁but ▁my ▁salvation ▁will ▁be ▁for ▁ever , ▁and ▁my ▁righteousness ▁will ▁not ▁come ▁to ▁an ▁end . ▁From ▁the ▁top ▁of ▁the ▁ro cks ▁I ▁see ▁him , ▁looking ▁down ▁on ▁him ▁from ▁the ▁h ills : ▁it ▁is ▁a ▁people ▁made ▁separate , ▁not ▁to ▁be ▁numbered ▁among ▁the ▁nations . ▁And ▁they ▁will ▁have ▁the ▁hair ▁of ▁their ▁heads ▁cut ▁off ▁because ▁of ▁you , ▁and ▁will ▁put ▁ha irc l oth ▁on ▁their ▁bodies , ▁we eping ▁for ▁you ▁with ▁bitter ▁grief ▁in ▁their ▁soul s , ▁even ▁with ▁bitter ▁sorrow . ▁Who ▁will ▁come ▁between ▁us ▁and ▁the ▁love ▁of ▁Christ ? ▁Will ▁trouble , ▁or ▁pain , ▁or ▁cruel ▁acts , ▁or ▁the ▁need ▁of ▁food ▁or ▁of ▁clothing , ▁or ▁danger , ▁or ▁the ▁sword ? ▁And ▁when ▁Moses ' ▁hand ▁was ▁stretched ▁out ▁over ▁the ▁sea , ▁the ▁Lord ▁with ▁a ▁strong ▁east ▁wind ▁made ▁the ▁sea ▁go ▁back ▁all ▁night , ▁and ▁the ▁waters ▁were ▁part ed ▁in ▁two ▁and ▁the ▁sea ▁became ▁dry ▁land . ▁And ▁Judah ▁was ▁overcome ▁before ▁Israel , ▁and ▁they ▁went ▁in ▁flight , ▁every ▁man ▁to ▁his ▁tent . ▁And ▁D aniel ▁went ▁in ▁and ▁made ▁a ▁request ▁to ▁the ▁king ▁to ▁give ▁him ▁time ▁and ▁he ▁would ▁make ▁clear ▁the ▁sense ▁of ▁his ▁dream ▁to ▁the ▁king . ▁And ▁David ▁took ▁more ▁women ▁and ▁wives ▁in ▁Jerusalem , ▁after ▁he ▁had ▁come ▁from ▁Hebron : ▁and ▁he ▁had ▁more ▁sons ▁and ▁daughters . ▁He ▁had ▁six ▁sons ▁in ▁Hebron ; ▁he ▁was ▁ruling ▁there ▁for ▁seven ▁years ▁and ▁six ▁months , ▁and ▁in ▁Jerusalem ▁for ▁thirty - three ▁years . ▁For ▁all ▁this ▁they ▁went ▁on ▁sin ning ▁even ▁more , ▁and ▁had ▁no ▁faith ▁in ▁his ▁great ▁w ond ers . ▁The ▁Lord ▁is ▁near ▁the ▁broken - he arted ; ▁he ▁is ▁the ▁sa vi our ▁of ▁those ▁whose ▁spir its ▁are ▁crushed ▁down . ▁The ▁Lord , ▁who ▁has ▁taken ▁up ▁your ▁cause , ▁the ▁Holy ▁One ▁of ▁Israel , ▁says , ▁Because ▁of ▁you ▁I ▁have ▁sent ▁to ▁Babylon , ▁and ▁made ▁all ▁their ▁se ers ▁come ▁south , ▁and ▁the ▁Ch ald ae ans ▁whose ▁cry ▁is ▁in ▁the ▁ships . ▁I ▁give ▁praise ▁to ▁God ▁through ▁Jesus ▁Christ ▁our ▁Lord . ▁So ▁with ▁my ▁mind ▁I ▁am ▁a ▁servant ▁to ▁the ▁law ▁of ▁God , ▁but ▁with ▁my ▁flesh ▁to ▁the ▁law ▁of ▁sin . ▁I ▁will ▁say ▁to ▁the ▁north , ▁Give ▁them ▁up ; ▁and ▁to ▁the ▁south , ▁Do ▁not ▁keep ▁them ▁back ; ▁send ▁back ▁my ▁sons ▁from ▁far , ▁and ▁my ▁daughters ▁from ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁earth ; ▁And ▁he ▁said , ▁What ▁were ▁all ▁those ▁her ds ▁which ▁I ▁saw ▁on ▁the ▁way ? ▁And ▁Jacob ▁said , ▁They ▁were ▁an ▁offering ▁so ▁that ▁I ▁might ▁have ▁grace ▁in ▁my ▁lord ' s ▁eyes . ▁Again , ▁the ▁kingdom ▁of ▁heaven ▁is ▁like ▁a ▁net , ▁which ▁was ▁put ▁into ▁the ▁sea ▁and ▁took ▁in ▁every ▁sort ▁of ▁fish : ▁So ▁we ▁said , ▁Let ▁us ▁now ▁make ▁an ▁altar ▁for ▁our selves , ▁not ▁for ▁burned ▁offerings ▁or ▁for ▁the ▁offerings ▁of ▁beasts : ▁And ▁the ▁men ▁of ▁Israel ▁and ▁of ▁Judah ▁got ▁up , ▁and ▁gave ▁a ▁cry , ▁and ▁went ▁after ▁the ▁Philistines ▁as ▁far ▁as ▁G ath ▁and ▁the ▁town ▁doors ▁of ▁Ek ron . ▁And ▁the ▁wounded ▁of ▁the ▁Philistines ▁were ▁falling ▁down ▁by ▁the ▁road ▁from ▁S ha ara im ▁all ▁the ▁way ▁to ▁G ath ▁and ▁Ek ron . ▁Now ▁Joseph ▁and ▁all ▁his ▁father ' s ▁family ▁went ▁on ▁living ▁in ▁Egypt : ▁and ▁the ▁years ▁of ▁Joseph ' s ▁life ▁were ▁a ▁hundred ▁and ▁ten . ▁( F or ▁every ▁man ▁of ▁the ▁army ▁had ▁taken ▁goods ▁for ▁himself ▁in ▁the ▁war .) ▁The ▁rulers ▁of ▁Judah ▁are ▁like ▁those ▁who ▁take ▁away ▁a ▁land m ark ; ▁I ▁will ▁let ▁loose ▁my ▁wrath ▁on ▁them ▁like ▁flow ing ▁water . ▁And ▁they ▁went ▁on ▁from ▁D oph k ah , ▁and ▁put ▁up ▁their ▁tents ▁in ▁Al ush . ▁When ▁I ▁see ▁your ▁heavens , ▁the ▁work ▁of ▁your ▁fing ers , ▁the ▁mo on ▁and ▁the ▁stars , ▁which ▁you ▁have ▁put ▁in ▁their ▁places ; ▁Now ▁the ▁Philistines ▁got ▁their ▁armies ▁together ▁for ▁war , ▁and ▁came ▁together ▁at ▁S oc oh ▁in ▁the ▁land ▁of ▁Judah , ▁and ▁took ▁up ▁their ▁position ▁between ▁S oc oh ▁and ▁A ze k ah ▁in ▁E p hes - d amm im . ▁When ▁you ▁said , ▁Make ▁search ▁for ▁my ▁face , ▁my ▁heart ▁said ▁to ▁you , ▁For ▁your ▁face ▁will ▁I ▁make ▁my ▁search . ▁Now ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁acts ▁of ▁N ad ab , ▁and ▁all ▁he ▁did , ▁are ▁they ▁not ▁recorded ▁in ▁the ▁book ▁of ▁the ▁history ▁of ▁the ▁kings ▁of ▁Israel ? ▁And ▁make ▁ro ds ▁of ▁the ▁same ▁wood , ▁five ▁for ▁the ▁boards ▁on ▁the ▁one ▁side , ▁These ▁are ▁the ▁jour ne ys ▁of ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel , ▁when ▁they ▁went ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁land ▁of ▁Egypt ▁in ▁their ▁armies , ▁under ▁the ▁direction ▁of ▁Moses ▁and ▁Aaron . ▁And ▁to ▁her ▁it ▁was ▁given ▁to ▁be ▁clot hed ▁in ▁de lic ate ▁lin en , ▁clean ▁and ▁sh ining : ▁for ▁the ▁clean ▁lin en ▁is ▁the ▁righteousness ▁of ▁the ▁s aints . ▁So ▁all ▁the ▁generations ▁from ▁Abraham ▁to ▁David ▁are ▁four teen ▁generations ; ▁and ▁from ▁David ▁to ▁the ▁taking ▁away ▁to ▁Babylon , ▁four teen ▁generations ; ▁and ▁from ▁the ▁taking ▁away ▁to ▁Babylon ▁to ▁the ▁coming ▁of ▁Christ , ▁four teen ▁generations . ▁Your ▁heart ▁will ▁give ▁thought ▁to ▁the ▁cause ▁of ▁your ▁fear : ▁where ▁is ▁the ▁sc rib e , ▁where ▁is ▁he ▁who ▁made ▁a ▁record ▁of ▁the ▁payments , ▁where ▁is ▁he ▁by ▁whom ▁the ▁to wers ▁were ▁numbered ? ▁A w ake ! ▁aw ake ! ▁up ! ▁O ▁Jerusalem , ▁you ▁who ▁have ▁taken ▁from ▁the ▁Lord ' s ▁hand ▁the ▁cup ▁of ▁his ▁wrath ; ▁t asting ▁in ▁full ▁measure ▁the ▁wine ▁which ▁over comes . ▁They ▁were ▁to ▁go ▁with ▁common ▁shoes ▁on ▁their ▁feet , ▁and ▁not ▁to ▁take ▁two ▁co ats . ▁Who ▁say ▁to ▁the ▁se ers , ▁See ▁not ; ▁and ▁to ▁the ▁prophets , ▁Do ▁not ▁give ▁us ▁word ▁of ▁what ▁is ▁true , ▁but ▁say ▁false ▁things ▁to ▁give ▁us ▁pleasure : ▁And ▁B ena iah , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Je ho i ada , ▁was ▁over ▁the ▁C here th ites ▁and ▁the ▁Pe le th ites ; ▁and ▁the ▁sons ▁of ▁David ▁were ▁chief ▁of ▁those ▁whose ▁places ▁were ▁at ▁the ▁king ' s ▁side . ▁Pharaoh , ▁king ▁of ▁Egypt , ▁came ▁and ▁took ▁Ge zer , ▁burning ▁it ▁down ▁and ▁putting ▁to ▁death ▁the ▁C anaan ites ▁living ▁in ▁the ▁town , ▁and ▁he ▁gave ▁it ▁for ▁a ▁br ide - off ering ▁to ▁his ▁daughter , ▁Solomon ' s ▁wife . ▁... ▁Get ▁out ▁the ▁breast pl ate ▁and ▁body - c over , ▁and ▁come ▁together ▁to ▁the ▁fight . ▁And ▁you , ▁son ▁of ▁man , ▁be ▁a ▁prophet ▁about ▁the ▁mountains ▁of ▁Israel , ▁and ▁say , ▁You ▁mountains ▁of ▁Israel , ▁give ▁ear ▁to ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁the ▁Lord : ▁Or ▁those ▁eight een ▁men ▁who ▁were ▁crushed ▁by ▁the ▁fall ▁of ▁the ▁to wer ▁of ▁Sil o am , ▁were ▁they ▁worse ▁than ▁all ▁the ▁other ▁men ▁living ▁in ▁Jerusalem ? ▁And ▁the ▁priest , ▁after ▁was hing ▁his ▁clothing ▁and ▁bath ing ▁his ▁body ▁in ▁water , ▁may ▁come ▁back ▁to ▁the ▁tent - c irc le , ▁and ▁will ▁be ▁unclean ▁till ▁evening . ▁And ▁in ▁the ▁time ▁of ▁A has u er us , ▁when ▁he ▁first ▁became ▁king , ▁they ▁put ▁on ▁record ▁a ▁statement ▁against ▁the ▁people ▁of ▁Judah ▁and ▁Jerusalem . ▁And ▁they ▁gave ▁him ▁a ▁hearing ▁as ▁far ▁as ▁this ▁word ; ▁then ▁with ▁l oud ▁v o ices ▁they ▁said , ▁A way ▁with ▁this ▁man ▁from ▁the ▁earth ; ▁it ▁is ▁not ▁right ▁for ▁him ▁to ▁be ▁living . ▁And ▁by ▁day ▁the ▁cloud ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁went ▁over ▁them , ▁when ▁they ▁went ▁forward ▁from ▁the ▁place ▁where ▁they ▁had ▁put ▁up ▁their ▁tents . ▁Let ▁your ▁father ▁and ▁your ▁mother ▁be ▁glad , ▁let ▁her ▁who ▁gave ▁you ▁birth ▁have ▁joy . ▁And ▁others ▁are ▁those ▁planted ▁among ▁the ▁th orn s ; ▁these ▁are ▁they ▁who ▁have ▁given ▁ear ▁to ▁the ▁word , ▁The ▁tents ▁of ▁the ▁K oh ath ites ▁are ▁to ▁be ▁placed ▁on ▁the ▁south ▁side ▁of ▁the ▁House . ▁And ▁there ▁was ▁a ▁door way ▁to ▁the ▁outer ▁square , ▁looking ▁to ▁the ▁north ; ▁and ▁he ▁took ▁the ▁measure ▁of ▁it ▁to ▁see ▁how ▁wide ▁and ▁how ▁long ▁it ▁was . ▁So ▁I ▁make ▁request ▁to ▁you ▁to ▁take ▁food ; ▁for ▁this ▁is ▁for ▁your ▁salvation : ▁not ▁a ▁hair ▁from ▁the ▁head ▁of ▁any ▁of ▁you ▁will ▁come ▁to ▁destruction . ▁You ▁are ▁to ▁keep ▁the ▁fe ast ▁with ▁joy , ▁you ▁and ▁your ▁son ▁and ▁your ▁daughter , ▁your ▁man - s erv ant ▁and ▁your ▁woman - s erv ant , ▁and ▁the ▁Le v ite , ▁and ▁the ▁man ▁from ▁a ▁strange ▁country , ▁and ▁the ▁child ▁without ▁a ▁father , ▁and ▁the ▁wid ow , ▁who ▁are ▁living ▁among ▁you . ▁I , ▁even ▁I , ▁am ▁the ▁Lord ; ▁and ▁there ▁is ▁no ▁sa vi our ▁but ▁me . ▁So ▁they ▁got ▁up ▁and ▁went ▁over ▁by ▁number : ▁twelve ▁for ▁Benjamin ▁and ▁Ish - b os he th ▁and ▁twelve ▁of ▁the ▁servants ▁of ▁David . ▁If ▁the ▁Lord ▁of ▁armies ▁had ▁not ▁kept ▁some ▁at ▁least ▁of ▁us ▁safe , ▁we ▁would ▁have ▁been ▁like ▁S od om , ▁and ▁the ▁fate ▁of ▁G om or ra h ▁would ▁have ▁been ▁our s . ▁The ▁Av vites ▁made ▁N ib haz ▁and ▁T art ak , ▁and ▁the ▁Sep har vites ▁gave ▁their ▁children ▁to ▁be ▁burned ▁in ▁the ▁fire ▁to ▁Ad ram me lech ▁and ▁An am me lech , ▁the ▁gods ▁of ▁Sep har v aim . ▁You ▁have ▁made ▁them ▁very ▁glad , ▁increasing ▁their ▁joy . ▁They ▁are ▁glad ▁before ▁you ▁as ▁men ▁are ▁glad ▁in ▁the ▁time ▁of ▁getting ▁in ▁the ▁grain , ▁or ▁when ▁they ▁make ▁division ▁of ▁the ▁goods ▁taken ▁in ▁war . ▁Now ▁in ▁the ▁fifth ▁year ▁of ▁King ▁Re ho bo am , ▁Sh ish ak , ▁king ▁of ▁Egypt , ▁came ▁up ▁against ▁Jerusalem , ▁because ▁of ▁their ▁sin ▁against ▁the ▁Lord , ▁Keep ▁your ▁tongue ▁from ▁evil , ▁and ▁your ▁lips ▁from ▁words ▁of ▁deceit . ▁The ▁watch man ▁says , ▁The ▁morning ▁has ▁come , ▁but ▁night ▁is ▁still ▁to ▁come : ▁if ▁you ▁have ▁questions ▁to ▁put , ▁put ▁them , ▁and ▁come ▁back ▁again . ▁I ▁did ▁the ▁plant ing , ▁A p oll os ▁did ▁the ▁water ing , ▁but ▁God ▁gave ▁the ▁increase . ▁For ▁its ▁men ▁of ▁wealth ▁are ▁cruel , ▁and ▁its ▁people ▁have ▁said ▁what ▁is ▁not ▁true , ▁and ▁their ▁tongue ▁is ▁false ▁in ▁their ▁mouth . ▁And ▁as ▁for ▁these ▁two ▁kings , ▁their ▁hearts ▁will ▁be ▁fixed ▁on ▁doing ▁evil ▁and ▁they ▁will ▁say ▁false ▁words ▁at ▁one ▁table ; ▁but ▁it ▁will ▁come ▁to ▁nothing : ▁for ▁the ▁end ▁will ▁be ▁at ▁the ▁time ▁fixed . ▁So ▁Esau ▁was ▁full ▁of ▁hate ▁for ▁Jacob ▁because ▁of ▁his ▁father ' s ▁blessing ; ▁and ▁he ▁said ▁in ▁his ▁heart , ▁The ▁days ▁of ▁we eping ▁for ▁my ▁father ▁are ▁near ; ▁then ▁I ▁will ▁put ▁my ▁brother ▁Jacob ▁to ▁death . ▁He ▁makes ▁them ▁go ▁j ump ing ▁about ▁like ▁a ▁young ▁ox ; ▁Le ban on ▁and ▁Sir ion ▁like ▁a ▁young ▁mountain ▁ox . ▁For ▁you ▁are ▁our ▁glory ▁and ▁our ▁joy . ▁Then ▁J ael ▁went ▁out , ▁and ▁meeting ▁Bar ak ▁going ▁after ▁S is era , ▁said ▁to ▁him , ▁Come , ▁and ▁I ▁will ▁let ▁you ▁see ▁the ▁man ▁you ▁are ▁search ing ▁for . ▁So ▁he ▁came ▁into ▁her ▁tent ▁and ▁saw , ▁and ▁there ▁was ▁S is era ▁stretched ▁out ▁dead ▁with ▁the ▁tent - p in ▁in ▁his ▁head . ▁And ▁his ▁fear s ▁will ▁overcome ▁him ▁and ▁be ▁the ▁cause ▁of ▁his ▁down fall , ▁and ▁his ▁army ▁will ▁come ▁to ▁complete ▁destruction , ▁and ▁a ▁great ▁number ▁will ▁be ▁put ▁to ▁the ▁sword . ▁Is ▁anyone ▁among ▁you ▁ill ? ▁let ▁him ▁send ▁for ▁the ▁rulers ▁of ▁the ▁church ; ▁and ▁let ▁them ▁say ▁prayers ▁over ▁him , ▁putting ▁oil ▁on ▁him ▁in ▁the ▁name ▁of ▁the ▁Lord . ▁The ▁priests , ▁the ▁Levites , ▁that ▁is , ▁all ▁the ▁tribe ▁of ▁Le vi , ▁will ▁have ▁no ▁part ▁or ▁heritage ▁with ▁Israel : ▁their ▁food ▁and ▁their ▁heritage ▁will ▁be ▁the ▁offerings ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁made ▁by ▁fire . ▁But ▁Abraham ▁made ▁a ▁protest ▁to ▁Ab ime lech ▁because ▁of ▁a ▁water - h ole ▁which ▁Ab ime lech ' s ▁servants ▁had ▁taken ▁by ▁force . ▁So ▁they ▁will ▁see ▁the ▁name ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁from ▁the ▁west , ▁and ▁his ▁glory ▁from ▁the ▁east : ▁for ▁he ▁will ▁come ▁like ▁a ▁r us hing ▁stream , ▁forced ▁on ▁by ▁a ▁wind ▁of ▁the ▁Lord . ▁And ▁may ▁God ▁give ▁you ▁the ▁blessing ▁of ▁Abraham , ▁to ▁you ▁and ▁to ▁your ▁seed , ▁so ▁that ▁the ▁land ▁of ▁your ▁w ander ings , ▁which ▁God ▁gave ▁to ▁Abraham , ▁may ▁be ▁your ▁heritage . ▁The ▁desire ▁of ▁the ▁upright ▁man ▁is ▁only ▁for ▁good , ▁but ▁wrath ▁is ▁waiting ▁for ▁the ▁evil - do er . ▁And ▁he ▁did ▁not ▁have ▁to ▁make ▁an ▁offering ▁of ▁himself ▁again ▁and ▁again , ▁as ▁the ▁high ▁priest ▁goes ▁into ▁the ▁holy ▁place ▁every ▁year ▁with ▁blood ▁which ▁is ▁not ▁his ; ▁The ▁people ▁said ▁in ▁answer , ▁You ▁have ▁an ▁evil ▁spirit : ▁who ▁has ▁any ▁desire ▁to ▁put ▁you ▁to ▁death ? ▁I ▁have ▁knowledge ▁of ▁your ▁works ▁( see , ▁I ▁have ▁put ▁before ▁you ▁an ▁open ▁door ▁which ▁may ▁be ▁shut ▁by ▁no ▁one ), ▁and ▁that ▁you ▁have ▁a ▁little ▁strength , ▁and ▁have ▁kept ▁my ▁word , ▁and ▁have ▁been ▁true ▁to ▁my ▁name . ▁Now ▁after ▁a ▁long ▁time ▁the ▁king ▁of ▁Egypt ▁came ▁to ▁his ▁end : ▁and ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel ▁were ▁cry ing ▁in ▁their ▁grief ▁under ▁the ▁weight ▁of ▁their ▁work , ▁and ▁their ▁cry ▁for ▁help ▁came ▁to ▁the ▁ears ▁of ▁God . ▁The ▁third ▁Har im , ▁the ▁fourth ▁Se or im , ▁And ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁rulers ▁made ▁answer , ▁saying ▁to ▁me , ▁These ▁who ▁have ▁on ▁white ▁rob es , ▁who ▁are ▁they , ▁and ▁where ▁did ▁they ▁come ▁from ? ▁He ▁who ▁gets ▁wisdom ▁has ▁love ▁for ▁his ▁soul : ▁he ▁who ▁keep s ▁good ▁sense ▁will ▁get ▁what ▁is ▁truly ▁good . ▁And ▁he ▁had ▁in ▁his ▁right ▁hand ▁seven ▁stars : ▁and ▁out ▁of ▁his ▁mouth ▁came ▁a ▁sharp ▁two - ed ged ▁sword : ▁and ▁his ▁face ▁was ▁like ▁the ▁sun ▁sh ining ▁in ▁its ▁strength . ▁For ▁the ▁Lord ▁is ▁a ▁lo ver ▁of ▁righteousness , ▁and ▁takes ▁care ▁of ▁his ▁s aints ; ▁they ▁will ▁be ▁kept ▁safe ▁for ▁ever ; ▁but ▁the ▁seed ▁of ▁the ▁evil - do ers ▁will ▁be ▁cut ▁off . ▁The ▁good ▁man , ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁good ▁store ▁of ▁his ▁heart , ▁gives ▁good ▁things ; ▁and ▁the ▁evil ▁man , ▁out ▁of ▁his ▁evil ▁store , ▁gives ▁evil : ▁for ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁full ▁store ▁of ▁the ▁heart ▁come ▁the ▁words ▁of ▁the ▁mouth . ▁And ▁it ▁was ▁said ▁to ▁the ▁Gaz ites , ▁Sam son ▁is ▁here . ▁So ▁they ▁went ▁round , ▁watch ing ▁for ▁him ▁all ▁day ▁at ▁the ▁door way ▁of ▁the ▁town , ▁but ▁at ▁night ▁they ▁kept ▁quiet , ▁saying , ▁When ▁day light ▁comes ▁we ▁will ▁put ▁him ▁to ▁death . ▁The ▁sons ▁of ▁Abraham : ▁Isa ac ▁and ▁Ish ma el . ▁Now ▁a ▁go - b et ween ▁is ▁not ▁a ▁go - b et ween ▁of ▁one ; ▁but ▁God ▁is ▁one . ▁For ▁the ▁divisions ▁of ▁the ▁door - keep ers : ▁of ▁the ▁Kor ah ites , ▁Mes he lem iah , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Kore , ▁of ▁the ▁sons ▁of ▁E b ias aph . ▁And ▁about ▁the ▁ten ▁horns ▁on ▁his ▁head ▁and ▁the ▁other ▁which ▁came ▁up , ▁causing ▁the ▁fall ▁of ▁three ; ▁that ▁horn ▁which ▁had ▁eyes , ▁and ▁a ▁mouth ▁saying ▁great ▁things , ▁which ▁seemed ▁to ▁be ▁greater ▁than ▁the ▁other ▁horns . ▁And ▁the ▁free ▁giving ▁has ▁not ▁the ▁same ▁effect ▁as ▁the ▁sin ▁of ▁one : ▁for ▁the ▁effect ▁of ▁one ▁man ' s ▁sin ▁was ▁punishment ▁by ▁the ▁decision ▁of ▁God , ▁but ▁the ▁free ▁giving ▁had ▁power ▁to ▁give ▁righteousness ▁to ▁wrongdo ers ▁in ▁great ▁number . ▁And ▁when ▁he ▁made ▁himself ▁low , ▁the ▁wrath ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁was ▁turned ▁back ▁from ▁him , ▁and ▁complete ▁destruction ▁did ▁not ▁come ▁on ▁him , ▁for ▁there ▁was ▁still ▁some ▁good ▁in ▁Judah . ▁Because ▁punishment ▁for ▁an ▁evil ▁work ▁comes ▁not ▁quickly , ▁the ▁mind s ▁of ▁the ▁sons ▁of ▁men ▁are ▁fully ▁given ▁to ▁doing ▁evil . ▁This ▁is ▁what ▁the ▁king ▁says : ▁Do ▁not ▁be ▁t ric ked ▁by ▁He ze k iah , ▁for ▁there ▁is ▁no ▁salvation ▁for ▁you ▁in ▁him . ▁In ▁their ▁sin ▁they ▁make ▁a ▁king ▁for ▁themselves , ▁and ▁rulers ▁in ▁their ▁deceit . ▁From ▁the ▁tribes ▁of ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Judah ▁and ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁S ime on ▁they ▁gave ▁these ▁towns , ▁list ed ▁here ▁by ▁name : ▁Are ▁they ▁moving ▁me ▁to ▁wrath ? ▁says ▁the ▁Lord ; ▁are ▁they ▁not ▁moving ▁themselves ▁to ▁their ▁shame ? ▁In ▁the ▁twenty - f if th ▁year ▁after ▁we ▁had ▁been ▁taken ▁away ▁prisoners , ▁in ▁the ▁first ▁month ▁of ▁the ▁year , ▁on ▁the ▁t enth ▁day ▁of ▁the ▁month , ▁in ▁the ▁four teenth ▁year ▁after ▁the ▁town ▁was ▁taken , ▁on ▁the ▁very ▁same ▁day , ▁the ▁hand ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁was ▁on ▁me , ▁and ▁he ▁took ▁me ▁there . ▁A w ake ! ▁O ▁sword , ▁against ▁the ▁keeper ▁of ▁my ▁flock , ▁and ▁against ▁him ▁who ▁is ▁with ▁me , ▁says ▁the ▁Lord ▁of ▁armies : ▁put ▁to ▁death ▁the ▁keeper ▁of ▁the ▁sheep , ▁and ▁the ▁sheep ▁will ▁go ▁in ▁flight : ▁and ▁my ▁hand ▁will ▁be ▁turned ▁against ▁the ▁little ▁ones . ▁And ▁the ▁prophets ▁will ▁become ▁wind , ▁and ▁the ▁word ▁is ▁not ▁in ▁them ; ▁so ▁it ▁will ▁be ▁done ▁to ▁them . ▁For ▁him ▁who ▁is ▁joined ▁to ▁all ▁the ▁living ▁there ▁is ▁hope ; ▁a ▁living ▁dog ▁is ▁better ▁than ▁a ▁dead ▁lion . ▁Give ▁ear ▁then ▁to ▁the ▁words ▁of ▁the ▁Lord : ▁You ▁will ▁never ▁again ▁get ▁down ▁from ▁the ▁bed ▁on ▁to ▁which ▁you ▁have ▁gone ▁up , ▁but ▁death ▁will ▁certainly ▁come ▁to ▁you . ▁Then ▁Eli j ah ▁went ▁away . ▁A ▁son ▁gives ▁honour ▁to ▁his ▁father , ▁and ▁a ▁servant ▁has ▁fear ▁of ▁his ▁master : ▁if ▁then ▁I ▁am ▁a ▁father , ▁where ▁is ▁my ▁honour ? ▁and ▁if ▁I ▁am ▁a ▁master , ▁where ▁is ▁the ▁fear ▁of ▁me ? ▁says ▁the ▁Lord ▁of ▁armies ▁to ▁you , ▁O ▁priests , ▁who ▁give ▁no ▁value ▁to ▁my ▁name . ▁And ▁you ▁say , ▁How ▁have ▁we ▁not ▁given ▁value ▁to ▁your ▁name ? ▁When ▁he ▁sent ▁death ▁on ▁them , ▁then ▁they ▁made ▁search ▁for ▁him ; ▁turning ▁to ▁him ▁and ▁looking ▁for ▁him ▁with ▁care ; ▁And ▁after ▁them ▁seven ▁other ▁c ows ▁came ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁N ile , ▁poor - lo oking ▁and ▁thin ; ▁and ▁they ▁were ▁by ▁the ▁side ▁of ▁the ▁other ▁c ows . ▁And ▁the ▁waters ▁of ▁the ▁sea ▁will ▁be ▁cut ▁off , ▁and ▁the ▁river ▁will ▁become ▁dry ▁and ▁waste : ▁And ▁some ▁of ▁the ▁rulers ▁of ▁Asia , ▁being ▁his ▁friends , ▁sent ▁to ▁him , ▁request ing ▁him ▁seriously ▁not ▁to ▁put ▁himself ▁in ▁danger ▁by ▁going ▁into ▁the ▁the at re . ▁Have ▁you ▁no ▁fear ▁of ▁me ? ▁says ▁the ▁Lord ; ▁will ▁you ▁not ▁be ▁shaking ▁with ▁fear ▁before ▁me , ▁who ▁have ▁put ▁the ▁sand ▁as ▁a ▁limit ▁for ▁the ▁sea , ▁by ▁an ▁e ternal ▁order , ▁so ▁that ▁it ▁may ▁not ▁go ▁past ▁it ? ▁and ▁though ▁it ▁is ▁ever ▁in ▁motion , ▁it ▁is ▁not ▁able ▁to ▁have ▁its ▁way ; ▁though ▁the ▁sound ▁of ▁its ▁w aves ▁is ▁l oud , ▁they ▁are ▁not ▁able ▁to ▁go ▁past ▁it . ▁And ▁David ▁said ▁to ▁Saul , ▁Your ▁servant ▁has ▁been ▁keeper ▁of ▁his ▁father ' s ▁sheep ; ▁and ▁if ▁a ▁lion ▁or ▁a ▁bear ▁came ▁and ▁took ▁a ▁lamb ▁from ▁the ▁flock , ▁In ▁the ▁night , ▁this ▁woman , ▁sleeping ▁on ▁her ▁child , ▁was ▁the ▁cause ▁of ▁its ▁death . ▁Do ▁not ▁say ▁sharp ▁words ▁to ▁a ▁man ▁of ▁pride , ▁or ▁he ▁will ▁have ▁hate ▁for ▁you ; ▁make ▁them ▁clear ▁to ▁a ▁wise ▁man , ▁and ▁you ▁will ▁be ▁dear ▁to ▁him . ▁Let ▁the ▁first ▁male ▁child ▁of ▁every ▁mother ▁among ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel ▁be ▁kept ▁holy ▁for ▁me , ▁even ▁the ▁first ▁male ▁birth ▁among ▁man ▁or ▁beast ;

▁and ▁the ▁under ▁sides ▁of ▁their ▁feet ▁were ▁like ▁the ▁feet ▁of ▁oxen ; ▁and ▁they ▁were ▁sh ining ▁like ▁pol ished ▁brass . ▁And ▁from ▁the ▁tribe ▁of ▁Re ub en , ▁Be zer ▁and ▁J ah az ▁with ▁their ▁grass - lands ; ▁And ▁a ▁great ▁light ▁was ▁seen ▁sh ining ▁in ▁the ▁room , ▁and ▁an ▁angel ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁came ▁to ▁Peter ▁and , ▁touch ing ▁him ▁on ▁his ▁side ▁so ▁that ▁he ▁came ▁out ▁of ▁his ▁sleep , ▁said , ▁Get ▁up ▁quickly . ▁And ▁his ▁ch ains ▁came ▁off ▁his ▁hands . ▁And ▁seeing ▁their ▁faith ▁he ▁said , ▁Man , ▁you ▁have ▁forg iveness ▁for ▁your ▁sins . ▁Go ▁and ▁get ▁some ▁ro e ' s ▁me at ▁and ▁make ▁me ▁a ▁good ▁meal , ▁so ▁that ▁I ▁may ▁be ▁full , ▁and ▁give ▁you ▁my ▁blessing ▁before ▁the ▁Lord ▁before ▁my ▁death . ▁For ▁words ▁are ▁tested ▁by ▁the ▁ear , ▁as ▁food ▁is ▁t ast ed ▁by ▁the ▁mouth . ▁So ▁the ▁m akers ▁of ▁wise ▁say ings ▁say , ▁Come ▁to ▁H esh bon , ▁building ▁up ▁the ▁town ▁of ▁S ih on ▁and ▁making ▁it ▁strong : ▁Look ing ▁at ▁the ▁earth , ▁I ▁saw ▁that ▁it ▁was ▁waste ▁and ▁without ▁form ; ▁and ▁to ▁the ▁heavens , ▁that ▁they ▁had ▁no ▁light . ▁And ▁David ▁said ▁to ▁Z ib a , ▁What ▁is ▁your ▁reason ▁for ▁this ? ▁And ▁Z ib a ▁said , ▁The ▁ass es ▁are ▁for ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁the ▁king ' s ▁people , ▁and ▁the ▁bread ▁and ▁the ▁fruit ▁are ▁food ▁for ▁the ▁young ▁men ; ▁and ▁the ▁wine ▁is ▁for ▁drink ▁for ▁those ▁who ▁are ▁overcome ▁by ▁wear iness ▁in ▁the ▁waste ▁land . ▁See , ▁all ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁women ▁in ▁the ▁house ▁of ▁the ▁king ▁of ▁Judah ▁will ▁be ▁taken ▁out ▁to ▁the ▁king ▁of ▁Babylon ' s ▁captains , ▁and ▁these ▁women ▁will ▁say , ▁Your ▁ne arest ▁friends ▁have ▁been ▁false ▁to ▁you ▁and ▁have ▁got ▁the ▁better ▁of ▁you : ▁they ▁have ▁made ▁your ▁feet ▁go ▁deep ▁into ▁the ▁w et ▁earth , ▁and ▁they ▁are ▁turned ▁away ▁back ▁from ▁you . ▁Come ▁down , ▁O ▁Lord , ▁from ▁your ▁heavens : ▁at ▁your ▁touch ▁let ▁the ▁mountains ▁give ▁out ▁smoke . ▁Be ▁sh amed , ▁O ▁Z id on : ▁for ▁the ▁sea , ▁the ▁strong ▁place ▁of ▁the ▁sea ▁has ▁said , ▁I ▁have ▁not ▁been ▁with ▁child , ▁or ▁given ▁birth ; ▁I ▁have ▁not ▁taken ▁care ▁of ▁young ▁men , ▁or ▁kept ▁watch ▁over ▁the ▁growth ▁of ▁vir g ins . ▁Now ▁after ▁a ▁long ▁time , ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁came ▁to ▁Eli j ah , ▁in ▁the ▁third ▁year , ▁saying , ▁Go ▁and ▁let ▁A hab ▁see ▁you , ▁so ▁that ▁I ▁may ▁send ▁rain ▁on ▁the ▁earth . ▁El ip he let , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁A has b ai ▁the ▁Ma ac ath ite , ▁Eli am , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Ah ith op hel ▁the ▁G il on ite , ▁But ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel ▁went ▁through ▁the ▁sea ▁walk ing ▁on ▁dry ▁land , ▁and ▁the ▁waters ▁were ▁a ▁wall ▁on ▁their ▁right ▁side ▁and ▁on ▁their ▁left . ▁Now ▁there ▁came ▁a ▁time , ▁in ▁the ▁days ▁of ▁the ▁judges , ▁when ▁there ▁was ▁no ▁food ▁in ▁the ▁land . ▁And ▁a ▁certain ▁man ▁went ▁from ▁Beth - le hem - j ud ah , ▁he ▁and ▁his ▁wife ▁and ▁his ▁two ▁sons , ▁to ▁make ▁a ▁living - place ▁in ▁the ▁country ▁of ▁Moab . ▁And ▁if ▁he ▁does ▁not ▁get ▁it ▁back ▁by ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁year , ▁then ▁the ▁house ▁in ▁the ▁town ▁will ▁become ▁the ▁property ▁of ▁him ▁who ▁gave ▁the ▁money ▁for ▁it , ▁and ▁of ▁his ▁children ▁for ▁ever ; ▁it ▁will ▁not ▁go ▁from ▁him ▁in ▁the ▁year ▁of ▁J ub ile e . ▁But ▁the ▁Lord ▁is ▁King ▁for ▁ever : ▁he ▁has ▁made ▁ready ▁his ▁high ▁seat ▁for ▁jud ging . ▁And ▁they ▁took ▁him ▁and ▁put ▁him ▁in ▁the ▁hole : ▁now ▁the ▁hole ▁had ▁no ▁water ▁in ▁it . ▁And ▁he ▁said , ▁Is ▁it ▁because ▁he ▁is ▁named ▁Jacob ▁that ▁he ▁has ▁twice ▁taken ▁my ▁place ? ▁for ▁he ▁took ▁away ▁my ▁birth right , ▁and ▁now ▁he ▁has ▁taken ▁away ▁my ▁blessing . ▁And ▁he ▁said , ▁Have ▁you ▁not ▁kept ▁a ▁blessing ▁for ▁me ? ▁Because ▁he ▁had ▁no ▁mercy , ▁but ▁was ▁cruel ▁to ▁the ▁low ▁and ▁the ▁poor , ▁design ing ▁the ▁death ▁of ▁the ▁broken - he arted . ▁And ▁all ▁the ▁town ▁was ▁moved , ▁and ▁the ▁people ▁came ▁running ▁together ▁and ▁put ▁their ▁hands ▁on ▁Paul , ▁pull ing ▁him ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁Temple : ▁and ▁then ▁the ▁doors ▁were ▁shut . ▁And ▁those ▁men ▁who ▁have ▁been ▁named ▁went ▁up ▁and ▁took ▁the ▁prisoners , ▁clothing ▁those ▁among ▁them ▁who ▁were ▁unc overed , ▁with ▁things ▁from ▁the ▁goods ▁which ▁had ▁been ▁taken ▁in ▁the ▁war , ▁and ▁putting ▁rob es ▁on ▁them ▁and ▁shoes ▁on ▁their ▁feet ; ▁and ▁they ▁gave ▁them ▁food ▁and ▁drink ▁and ▁oil ▁for ▁their ▁bodies , ▁and ▁se ating ▁all ▁the ▁fee ble ▁among ▁them ▁on ▁ass es , ▁they ▁took ▁them ▁to ▁Jer ich o , ▁the ▁town ▁of ▁pal m - t rees , ▁to ▁their ▁people , ▁and ▁then ▁went ▁back ▁to ▁Sam aria . ▁He ▁put ▁to ▁death ▁the ▁first - f ruits ▁of ▁Egypt , ▁of ▁man ▁and ▁of ▁beast . ▁Are ▁they ▁not ▁on ▁the ▁other ▁side ▁of ▁Jordan , ▁looking ▁west , ▁in ▁the ▁land ▁of ▁the ▁C anaan ites ▁living ▁in ▁the ▁Arab ah , ▁opposite ▁G il gal , ▁by ▁the ▁holy ▁tree ▁of ▁More h ? ▁Be ▁in ▁pain , ▁make ▁sound s ▁of ▁grief , ▁O ▁daughter ▁of ▁Z ion , ▁like ▁a ▁woman ▁in ▁child b irth : ▁for ▁now ▁you ▁will ▁go ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁town , ▁living ▁in ▁the ▁open ▁country , ▁and ▁will ▁come ▁even ▁to ▁Babylon ; ▁there ▁you ▁will ▁have ▁salvation ; ▁there ▁the ▁Lord ▁will ▁make ▁you ▁free ▁from ▁the ▁hands ▁of ▁your ▁hat ers . ▁This ▁is ▁what ▁the ▁Lord ▁has ▁said : ▁I ▁will ▁put ▁an ▁end ▁to ▁great ▁numbers ▁of ▁the ▁people ▁of ▁Egypt ▁by ▁the ▁hand ▁of ▁Ne b uch ad re zz ar , ▁king ▁of ▁Babylon . ▁And ▁fifty ▁she k els ▁weight ▁of ▁gold ▁was ▁used ▁for ▁the ▁n ails . ▁He ▁had ▁all ▁the ▁higher ▁rooms ▁pl ated ▁with ▁gold . ▁And ▁Jesus ▁went ▁into ▁the ▁Temple ▁and ▁sent ▁out ▁all ▁who ▁were ▁trading ▁there , ▁overt urning ▁the ▁tables ▁of ▁the ▁money - ch angers ▁and ▁the ▁se ats ▁of ▁those ▁trading ▁in ▁do ves . ▁Because ▁the ▁Lord ▁se es ▁the ▁way ▁of ▁the ▁upright , ▁but ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁sin ner ▁is ▁destruction . ▁There ▁will ▁be ▁no ▁cause ▁of ▁pain ▁or ▁destruction ▁in ▁all ▁my ▁holy ▁mountain : ▁for ▁the ▁earth ▁will ▁be ▁full ▁of ▁the ▁knowledge ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁as ▁the ▁sea ▁is ▁covered ▁by ▁the ▁waters . ▁So ▁this ▁saying ▁went ▁about ▁among ▁the ▁brothers ▁that ▁this ▁discip le ▁would ▁not ▁under go ▁death : ▁Jesus , ▁however , ▁did ▁not ▁say ▁that ▁he ▁would ▁not ▁under go ▁death , ▁but , ▁If ▁it ▁is ▁my ▁desire ▁for ▁him ▁to ▁be ▁here ▁till ▁I ▁come ▁back , ▁what ▁is ▁that ▁to ▁you ? ▁So ▁be ▁kind ▁to ▁the ▁man ▁from ▁a ▁strange ▁country ▁who ▁is ▁living ▁among ▁you , ▁for ▁you ▁yourselves ▁were ▁living ▁in ▁a ▁strange ▁country ▁in ▁the ▁land ▁of ▁Egypt . ▁Sh amm oth ▁the ▁Har od ite , ▁He le z ▁the ▁P el on ite , ▁And ▁he ▁comes ▁to ▁the ▁disciples , ▁and ▁se es ▁that ▁they ▁are ▁sleeping , ▁and ▁says ▁to ▁Peter , ▁What , ▁were ▁you ▁not ▁able ▁to ▁keep ▁watch ▁with ▁me ▁one ▁hour ? ▁And ▁David ▁went ▁on ▁fighting ▁them ▁from ▁evening ▁till ▁the ▁evening ▁of ▁the ▁day ▁after ; ▁and ▁not ▁one ▁of ▁them ▁got ▁away ▁but ▁only ▁four ▁hundred ▁young ▁men ▁who ▁went ▁in ▁flight ▁on ▁c am els . ▁And ▁if ▁it ▁is ▁possible ▁for ▁me ▁to ▁go ▁there , ▁they ▁will ▁go ▁with ▁me . ▁( And ▁G ile ad ▁took ▁a ▁wife , ▁whose ▁name ▁was ▁Ma ac ah , ▁and ▁his ▁sister ' s ▁name ▁was ▁H amm ole k eth ; ) ▁and ▁the ▁name ▁of ▁his ▁brother ▁was ▁Z el op he had , ▁who ▁was ▁the ▁father ▁of ▁daughters . ▁And ▁for ▁these ▁twenty ▁boards , ▁forty ▁silver ▁b ases , ▁two ▁b ases ▁under ▁every ▁board , ▁to ▁take ▁its ▁tong ues . ▁There ▁were ▁not ▁enough ▁priests ▁for ▁the ▁work ▁of ▁cutting ▁up ▁all ▁the ▁burned ▁offerings ; ▁so ▁their ▁brothers ▁the ▁Levites ▁gave ▁them ▁help ▁till ▁the ▁work ▁was ▁done ▁and ▁the ▁priests ▁had ▁made ▁themselves ▁holy : ▁for ▁the ▁Levites ▁were ▁more ▁upright ▁in ▁heart ▁to ▁make ▁themselves ▁holy ▁than ▁the ▁priests . ▁All ▁the ▁work ▁of ▁man ▁is ▁for ▁his ▁mouth , ▁and ▁still ▁he ▁has ▁a ▁desire ▁for ▁food . ▁And ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁came ▁to ▁me , ▁saying , ▁If ▁only ▁they ▁had ▁such ▁a ▁heart ▁in ▁them ▁at ▁all ▁times , ▁so ▁that ▁they ▁might ▁go ▁in ▁fear ▁of ▁me ▁and ▁keep ▁my ▁orders ▁and ▁that ▁it ▁might ▁be ▁well ▁for ▁them ▁and ▁for ▁their ▁children ▁for ▁ever ! ▁And ▁with ▁every ▁deceit ▁of ▁wrongdo ing ▁among ▁those ▁whose ▁fate ▁is ▁destruction ; ▁because ▁they ▁were ▁quite ▁without ▁that ▁love ▁of ▁the ▁true ▁faith ▁by ▁which ▁they ▁might ▁have ▁salvation . ▁Do ▁you , ▁my ▁lord , ▁go ▁on ▁before ▁your ▁servant ; ▁I ▁will ▁come ▁on ▁slowly , ▁at ▁the ▁rate ▁at ▁which ▁the ▁cattle ▁and ▁the ▁children ▁are ▁able ▁to ▁go , ▁till ▁I ▁come ▁to ▁my ▁lord ▁at ▁Se ir . ▁He ▁send s ▁it ▁out ▁through ▁all ▁the ▁heaven , ▁and ▁his ▁thunder - f l ame ▁to ▁the ▁ends ▁of ▁the ▁earth . ▁You ▁have ▁given ▁your ▁unch anging ▁word ▁in ▁righteousness , ▁and ▁it ▁is ▁for ▁ever . ▁For ▁this ▁cause ▁say ▁to ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel , ▁This ▁is ▁what ▁the ▁Lord ▁has ▁said : ▁Are ▁you ▁making ▁yourselves ▁unclean ▁as ▁your ▁fathers ▁did ? ▁are ▁you ▁being ▁unt ru e ▁to ▁me ▁by ▁going ▁after ▁their ▁disgusting ▁works ? ▁Aram ▁on ▁the ▁east , ▁and ▁the ▁Philistines ▁on ▁the ▁west , ▁who ▁have ▁come ▁against ▁Israel ▁with ▁open ▁mouth s . ▁For ▁all ▁this ▁his ▁wrath ▁is ▁not ▁turned ▁away , ▁but ▁his ▁hand ▁is ▁stretched ▁out ▁still . ▁Your ▁faith ▁is ▁unch anging ▁from ▁generation ▁to ▁generation : ▁you ▁have ▁put ▁the ▁earth ▁in ▁its ▁place , ▁and ▁it ▁is ▁not ▁moved . ▁These ▁are ▁the ▁families ▁of ▁Le vi : ▁the ▁family ▁of ▁the ▁Lib n ites , ▁the ▁family ▁of ▁the ▁Hebron ites , ▁the ▁family ▁of ▁the ▁Mah l ites , ▁the ▁family ▁of ▁the ▁M ush ites , ▁the ▁family ▁of ▁the ▁Kor ah ites . ▁And ▁K oh ath ▁was ▁the ▁father ▁of ▁Am ram . ▁For ▁a ▁voice ▁is ▁sound ing ▁from ▁D an , ▁giving ▁out ▁evil ▁from ▁the ▁h ills ▁of ▁Ephraim : ▁Your ▁righteousness ▁is ▁an ▁unch anging ▁righteousness , ▁and ▁your ▁law ▁is ▁certain . ▁And ▁the ▁armed ▁force ▁of ▁the ▁Philistines ▁went ▁out ▁to ▁the ▁nar row ▁way ▁of ▁Mich m ash . ▁But ▁the ▁supp orters ▁of ▁O m ri ▁over c ame ▁those ▁who ▁were ▁on ▁the ▁side ▁of ▁Tib n i , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁G in ath ; ▁and ▁death ▁came ▁to ▁Tib n i ▁and ▁to ▁his ▁brother ▁J oram ▁at ▁that ▁time : ▁and ▁O m ri ▁became ▁king ▁in ▁the ▁place ▁of ▁Tib n i . ▁And ▁he ▁will ▁let ▁a ▁flag ▁be ▁lifted ▁up ▁as ▁a ▁sign ▁to ▁a ▁far - off ▁nation , ▁wh ist ling ▁to ▁them ▁from ▁the ▁ends ▁of ▁the ▁earth : ▁and ▁they ▁will ▁come ▁quickly ▁and ▁suddenly . ▁From ▁G ers h on ▁come ▁the ▁Lib n ites ▁and ▁the ▁Sh ime ites ; ▁these ▁are ▁the ▁families ▁of ▁the ▁G ers h on ites . ▁( Now ▁Jerem iah ▁was ▁going ▁about ▁among ▁the ▁people , ▁for ▁they ▁had ▁not ▁put ▁him ▁in ▁prison . ▁Then ▁he ▁went ▁on ▁with ▁his ▁story ▁and ▁said , ▁But ▁who ▁may ▁keep ▁his ▁life ▁when ▁God ▁does ▁this ? ▁And ▁there ▁he ▁put ▁up ▁an ▁altar , ▁nam ing ▁it ▁El , ▁the ▁God ▁of ▁Israel . ▁On ▁the ▁same ▁day ▁No ah , ▁with ▁She m , ▁Ham , ▁and ▁Jap he th , ▁his ▁sons , ▁and ▁his ▁wife ▁and ▁his ▁sons ' ▁wives , ▁went ▁into ▁the ▁ark ; ▁These ▁were ▁joined ▁together ▁at ▁the ▁base ▁and ▁at ▁the ▁top ▁to ▁one ▁r ing , ▁so ▁form ing ▁the ▁two ▁angles . ▁And ▁those ▁who ▁have ▁been ▁kept ▁safe ▁will ▁come ▁up ▁from ▁Mount ▁Z ion ▁to ▁be ▁judges ▁of ▁the ▁mountain ▁of ▁Esau ; ▁and ▁the ▁kingdom ▁will ▁be ▁the ▁Lord ' s . ▁Then ▁let ▁your ▁ear ▁be ▁open ▁in ▁heaven , ▁and ▁be ▁the ▁judge ▁of ▁your ▁servants , ▁giving ▁your ▁decision ▁against ▁the ▁wrongdo er , ▁so ▁that ▁punishment ▁for ▁his ▁sins ▁may ▁come ▁on ▁his ▁head ; ▁and , ▁by ▁your ▁decision , ▁keeping ▁from ▁evil ▁him ▁who ▁has ▁done ▁no ▁wrong . ▁For ▁you ▁at ▁one ▁time ▁were ▁dark , ▁but ▁now ▁are ▁light ▁in ▁the ▁Lord : ▁let ▁your ▁behaviour ▁be ▁that ▁of ▁children ▁of ▁light ▁And ▁the ▁priest ▁will ▁put ▁some ▁of ▁the ▁oil ▁which ▁is ▁in ▁his ▁hand ▁on ▁the ▁point ▁of ▁the ▁ear ▁of ▁the ▁man ▁who ▁is ▁to ▁be ▁made ▁clean ▁and ▁on ▁the ▁th umb ▁of ▁his ▁right ▁hand ▁and ▁on ▁the ▁great ▁to e ▁of ▁his ▁right ▁foot , ▁on ▁the ▁place ▁where ▁the ▁blood ▁of ▁the ▁offering ▁for ▁wrongdo ing ▁was ▁put ; ▁For ▁who ever ▁gets ▁me ▁gets ▁life , ▁and ▁grace ▁from ▁the ▁Lord ▁will ▁come ▁to ▁him . ▁But ▁now ▁my ▁soul ▁is ▁turned ▁to ▁water ▁in ▁me , ▁days ▁of ▁trouble ▁overt ake ▁me : ▁And ▁make ▁yourselves ▁ready ▁in ▁your ▁divisions , ▁by ▁your ▁families , ▁as ▁it ▁is ▁ordered ▁in ▁the ▁writ ings ▁of ▁David , ▁king ▁of ▁Israel , ▁and ▁of ▁Solomon ▁his ▁son ; ▁Is ▁not ▁life ▁more ▁than ▁food , ▁and ▁the ▁body ▁than ▁its ▁clothing ? ▁So , ▁when ▁they ▁had ▁come ▁together ▁here , ▁straight ▁away , ▁on ▁the ▁day ▁after , ▁I ▁took ▁my ▁place ▁on ▁the ▁judge ' s ▁seat ▁and ▁sent ▁for ▁the ▁man . ▁And ▁Moses ▁said ▁to ▁Kor ah , ▁You ▁and ▁all ▁your ▁band ▁are ▁to ▁come ▁before ▁the ▁Lord ▁tomorrow , ▁you ▁and ▁they ▁and ▁Aaron : ▁My ▁flesh ▁is ▁true ▁food ▁and ▁my ▁blood ▁is ▁true ▁drink . ▁They ▁gave ▁way ▁to ▁their ▁evil ▁des ires ▁in ▁the ▁waste ▁land , ▁and ▁put ▁God ▁to ▁the ▁test ▁in ▁the ▁dry ▁places . ▁I ▁am ▁shut ▁in ▁by ▁you ▁on ▁every ▁side , ▁and ▁you ▁have ▁put ▁your ▁hand ▁on ▁me . ▁And ▁the ▁king ▁went ▁up ▁to ▁the ▁house ▁of ▁the ▁Lord , ▁with ▁all ▁the ▁men ▁of ▁Judah ▁and ▁the ▁people ▁of ▁Jerusalem , ▁and ▁the ▁priests ▁and ▁the ▁Levites ▁and ▁all ▁the ▁people , ▁small ▁and ▁great ; ▁and ▁they ▁were ▁present ▁at ▁his ▁reading ▁of ▁the ▁book ▁of ▁the ▁law ▁which ▁had ▁come ▁to ▁light ▁in ▁the ▁house ▁of ▁the ▁Lord . ▁For , ▁from ▁the ▁coming ▁up ▁of ▁the ▁sun ▁till ▁its ▁going ▁down , ▁my ▁name ▁is ▁great ▁among ▁the ▁Gent iles ; ▁and ▁in ▁every ▁place ▁the ▁smell ▁of ▁burning ▁flesh ▁is ▁offered ▁to ▁my ▁name , ▁and ▁a ▁clean ▁offering : ▁for ▁my ▁name ▁is ▁great ▁among ▁the ▁Gent iles , ▁says ▁the ▁Lord ▁of ▁armies . ▁For ▁before ▁I ▁came ▁you ▁had ▁little , ▁and ▁it ▁has ▁been ▁greatly ▁increased ; ▁and ▁the ▁Lord ▁has ▁given ▁you ▁a ▁blessing ▁in ▁everything ▁I ▁have ▁done ; ▁but ▁when ▁am ▁I ▁to ▁do ▁something ▁for ▁my ▁family ? ▁Do ▁not ▁be ▁surprised , ▁my ▁brothers , ▁if ▁the ▁world ▁has ▁no ▁love ▁for ▁you . ▁All ▁my ▁desire ▁has ▁been ▁for ▁your ▁salvation , ▁O ▁Lord ; ▁and ▁your ▁law ▁is ▁my ▁delight . ▁The ▁book ▁of ▁the ▁generations ▁of ▁Jesus ▁Christ , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁David , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Abraham . ▁But ▁it ▁will ▁be ▁like ▁a ▁man ▁shaking ▁an ▁ol ive - t ree , ▁something ▁will ▁still ▁be ▁there , ▁two ▁or ▁three ▁b er ries ▁on ▁the ▁top ▁of ▁the ▁highest ▁branch , ▁four ▁or ▁five ▁on ▁the ▁outside ▁branches ▁of ▁a ▁fert ile ▁tree , ▁says ▁the ▁Lord , ▁the ▁God ▁of ▁Israel . ▁And ▁more ▁than ▁this , ▁Ab sal om ▁said , ▁If ▁only ▁I ▁was ▁made ▁judge ▁in ▁the ▁land , ▁so ▁that ▁every ▁man ▁who ▁has ▁any ▁cause ▁or ▁question ▁might ▁come ▁to ▁me , ▁and ▁I ▁would ▁give ▁a ▁right ▁decision ▁for ▁him ! ▁They ▁made ▁answer ▁and ▁said ▁to ▁Ne b uch ad ne zz ar ▁the ▁king , ▁O ▁King , ▁have ▁life ▁for ▁ever . ▁See , ▁you ▁are ▁b asing ▁your ▁hope ▁on ▁that ▁broken ▁ro d ▁of ▁Egypt , ▁which ▁will ▁go ▁into ▁a ▁man ' s ▁hand ▁if ▁he ▁makes ▁use ▁of ▁it ▁for ▁a ▁support ; ▁for ▁so ▁is ▁Pharaoh , ▁king ▁of ▁Egypt , ▁to ▁all ▁who ▁put ▁their ▁faith ▁in ▁him . ▁And ▁Pharaoh ▁said ▁to ▁them , ▁What ▁is ▁your ▁business ? ▁And ▁they ▁said , ▁Your ▁servants ▁are ▁keep ers ▁of ▁sheep , ▁as ▁our ▁fathers ▁were ▁before ▁us . ▁E zer ▁their ▁chief , ▁Ob ad iah ▁the ▁second , ▁Eli ab ▁the ▁third , ▁Az m ave th ▁of ▁B ah ur im , ▁El iah ba ▁the ▁S ha al bon ite , ▁And ▁Moses ▁said , ▁I ▁will ▁go ▁and ▁see ▁this ▁strange ▁thing , ▁why ▁the ▁tree ▁is ▁not ▁burned ▁up , ▁For ▁any ▁man ▁whose ▁body ▁is ▁dam aged ▁may ▁not ▁come ▁near : ▁one ▁who ▁is ▁blind , ▁or ▁has ▁not ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁his ▁legs , ▁or ▁one ▁who ▁has ▁a ▁broken ▁nose ▁or ▁any ▁unn at ural ▁growth , ▁Take ▁up ▁God ' s ▁instruments ▁of ▁war , ▁so ▁that ▁you ▁may ▁be ▁able ▁to ▁keep ▁your ▁position ▁against ▁all ▁the ▁dece its ▁of ▁the ▁Ev il ▁One . ▁And ▁El ip haz , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Esau , ▁had ▁connection ▁with ▁a ▁woman ▁named ▁T im na , ▁who ▁gave ▁birth ▁to ▁Am ale k : ▁all ▁these ▁were ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Esau ' s ▁wife ▁Ad ah . ▁As ▁I ▁have ▁seen ▁a ▁beast ▁whose ▁young ▁have ▁been ▁taken ▁from ▁her , ▁so ▁Ephraim ▁will ▁give ▁birth ▁to ▁children ▁only ▁for ▁them ▁to ▁be ▁put ▁to ▁death . ▁Why ▁is ▁the ▁name ▁of ▁our ▁father ▁to ▁be ▁taken ▁away ▁from ▁among ▁his ▁family , ▁because ▁he ▁had ▁no ▁son ? ▁Give ▁us ▁a ▁heritage ▁among ▁our ▁father ' s ▁brothers . ▁And ▁G ed or ▁and ▁A hi o ▁and ▁Z ech aria h ▁and ▁M ik l oth ▁But ▁the ▁unclean ▁spirit , ▁when ▁he ▁is ▁gone ▁out ▁of ▁a ▁man , ▁goes ▁through ▁dry ▁places ▁looking ▁for ▁rest , ▁and ▁getting ▁it ▁not . ▁But ▁my ▁eyes ▁are ▁turned ▁to ▁you , ▁O ▁Lord ▁God : ▁my ▁hope ▁is ▁in ▁you ; ▁let ▁not ▁my ▁soul ▁be ▁given ▁up ▁to ▁death . ▁And ▁in ▁the ▁morning ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁came ▁to ▁me , ▁saying , ▁Jesus ▁said ▁to ▁him , ▁You ▁have ▁seen ▁him ; ▁it ▁is ▁he ▁who ▁is ▁talking ▁to ▁you . ▁Then ▁the ▁responsible ▁men ▁of ▁the ▁town ▁are ▁to ▁give ▁the ▁man ▁his ▁punishment ;

▁for ▁the ▁Ar non ▁is ▁the ▁line ▁of ▁division ▁between ▁Moab ▁and ▁the ▁Am or ites : ▁Why ▁may ▁the ▁nations ▁say , ▁Where ▁is ▁now ▁their ▁God ? ▁They ▁will ▁be ▁turned ▁back ▁and ▁be ▁greatly ▁sh amed ▁who ▁put ▁their ▁hope ▁in ▁pict ured ▁images , ▁who ▁say ▁to ▁met al ▁images , ▁You ▁are ▁our ▁gods . ▁Now ▁after ▁this , ▁it ▁came ▁about ▁that ▁Ab sal om , ▁David ' s ▁son , ▁had ▁a ▁beautiful ▁sister , ▁whose ▁name ▁was ▁T am ar ;

▁the ▁small ▁family ▁had ▁the ▁same ▁chance ▁as ▁the ▁great . ▁At ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁every ▁seven ▁years ▁there ▁is ▁to ▁be ▁a ▁general ▁forg iveness ▁of ▁debt . ▁Other s ▁go ▁about ▁without ▁clothing , ▁and ▁though ▁they ▁have ▁no ▁food , ▁they ▁get ▁in ▁the ▁grain ▁from ▁the ▁fields . ▁In ▁the ▁end , ▁its ▁b ite ▁is ▁like ▁that ▁of ▁a ▁sn ake , ▁its ▁w ound ▁like ▁the ▁w ound ▁of ▁a ▁poison - s n ake . ▁She ▁put s ▁her ▁hands ▁to ▁the ▁cloth - work ing ▁ro d , ▁and ▁her ▁fing ers ▁take ▁the ▁wheel . ▁So ▁Jacob ▁came ▁safely ▁from ▁P add an - aram ▁to ▁the ▁town ▁of ▁She c hem ▁in ▁the ▁land ▁of ▁C anaan , ▁and ▁put ▁up ▁his ▁tents ▁near ▁the ▁town . ▁This ▁witness ▁is ▁true . ▁So ▁say ▁sharp ▁words ▁to ▁them ▁so ▁that ▁they ▁may ▁come ▁to ▁the ▁right ▁faith , ▁And ▁they ▁came ▁to ▁Bala am ▁and ▁said , ▁Bal ak , ▁son ▁of ▁Z ipp or , ▁says , ▁Let ▁nothing ▁keep ▁you ▁from ▁coming ▁to ▁me : ▁A ▁thing ▁may ▁be ▁put ▁to ▁the ▁decision ▁of ▁chance , ▁but ▁it ▁comes ▁about ▁through ▁the ▁Lord . ▁So ▁that ▁you ▁may ▁not ▁take ▁them ▁as ▁your ▁example ▁and ▁do ▁all ▁the ▁disgusting ▁things ▁which ▁they ▁do ▁in ▁the ▁worship ▁of ▁their ▁gods , ▁so ▁sin ning ▁against ▁the ▁Lord ▁your ▁God . ▁But ▁you ▁kept ▁these ▁things ▁in ▁the ▁secret ▁of ▁your ▁heart ; ▁I ▁am ▁certain ▁this ▁was ▁in ▁your ▁thoughts : ▁But ▁the ▁open ▁country ▁round ▁the ▁town , ▁and ▁its ▁un w alled ▁places , ▁they ▁gave ▁to ▁C ale b , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁J ep h un ne h , ▁as ▁his ▁property . ▁And ▁the ▁children ▁of ▁Israel ▁made ▁request ▁to ▁the ▁Lord , ▁( for ▁the ▁ark ▁of ▁the ▁agreement ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁was ▁there ▁in ▁those ▁days , ▁I ▁gave ▁thought ▁to ▁my ▁steps , ▁and ▁my ▁feet ▁were ▁turned ▁into ▁the ▁way ▁of ▁your ▁unch anging ▁word . ▁And ▁as ▁for ▁me , ▁my ▁eye ▁will ▁not ▁have ▁mercy , ▁and ▁I ▁will ▁have ▁no ▁pity , ▁but ▁I ▁will ▁send ▁the ▁punishment ▁of ▁their ▁ways ▁on ▁their ▁heads . ▁And ▁Na om i ▁said , ▁See , ▁your ▁sister - in - law ▁has ▁gone ▁back ▁to ▁her ▁people ▁and ▁to ▁her ▁gods : ▁go ▁back ▁after ▁your ▁sister - in - law . ▁He ▁makes ▁the ▁wrong ▁done ▁to ▁the ▁poor ▁the ▁way ▁of ▁their ▁salvation , ▁opening ▁their ▁ears ▁by ▁their ▁trouble . ▁And ▁everyone ▁whose ▁heart ▁was ▁moved , ▁everyone ▁who ▁was ▁guided ▁by ▁the ▁imp ul se ▁of ▁his ▁spirit , ▁came ▁with ▁his ▁offering ▁for ▁the ▁Lord , ▁for ▁whatever ▁was ▁needed ▁for ▁the ▁T ent ▁of ▁meeting ▁and ▁its ▁work ▁and ▁for ▁the ▁holy ▁rob es . ▁You ▁will ▁have ▁food ▁in ▁full ▁measure , ▁and ▁give ▁praise ▁to ▁the ▁name ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁your ▁God , ▁who ▁has ▁done ▁w ond ers ▁for ▁you : ▁At ▁the ▁sound ▁of ▁my ▁horn , ▁and ▁the ▁horns ▁of ▁those ▁who ▁are ▁with ▁me , ▁let ▁your ▁horns ▁be ▁s ounded ▁all ▁round ▁the ▁tents , ▁and ▁say , ▁For ▁the ▁Lord ▁and ▁for ▁G ide on . ▁Then ▁let ▁the ▁ox ▁be ▁taken ▁away ▁outside ▁the ▁tent - c irc le , ▁that ▁it ▁may ▁be ▁burned ▁as ▁the ▁other ▁ox ▁was ▁burned ;

▁and ▁so ▁the ▁priest ▁will ▁make ▁him ▁free ▁from ▁sin ▁before ▁the ▁Lord . ▁If ▁you ▁see ▁the ▁poor ▁under ▁a ▁cruel ▁y oke , ▁and ▁law ▁and ▁right ▁being ▁viol ently ▁overt urned ▁in ▁a ▁country , ▁be ▁not ▁surprised , ▁because ▁one ▁authority ▁is ▁keeping ▁watch ▁on ▁another ▁and ▁there ▁are ▁higher ▁than ▁they . ▁In ▁that ▁hour ▁Jesus ▁said ▁to ▁the ▁people , ▁Have ▁you ▁come ▁out ▁as ▁against ▁a ▁th ief ▁with ▁sword s ▁and ▁st icks ▁to ▁take ▁me ? ▁I ▁was ▁teaching ▁every ▁day ▁in ▁the ▁Temple ▁and ▁you ▁took ▁me ▁not . ▁Then , ▁after ▁prayer ▁and ▁going ▁without ▁food ▁they ▁put ▁their ▁hands ▁on ▁them , ▁and ▁sent ▁them ▁away . ▁Then ▁Moses ▁sent ▁for ▁Jos hua , ▁and ▁before ▁the ▁eyes ▁of ▁all ▁Israel ▁said ▁to ▁him , ▁Be ▁strong ▁and ▁take ▁heart : ▁for ▁you ▁are ▁to ▁go ▁with ▁this ▁people ▁into ▁the ▁land ▁which ▁the ▁Lord , ▁by ▁his ▁oath ▁to ▁their ▁fathers , ▁has ▁given ▁them ;

▁Bet ter ▁is ▁a ▁little ▁with ▁the ▁fear ▁of ▁the ▁Lord , ▁than ▁great ▁wealth ▁together ▁with ▁trouble . ▁In ▁the ▁vis ions ▁of ▁God ▁he ▁took ▁me ▁into ▁the ▁land ▁of ▁Israel , ▁and ▁put ▁me ▁down ▁on ▁a ▁very ▁high ▁mountain , ▁on ▁which ▁there ▁was , ▁as ▁it ▁seemed , ▁a ▁building ▁like ▁a ▁town ▁opposite ▁me . ▁And ▁he ▁had ▁it ▁given ▁out ▁in ▁N ine ve h , ▁By ▁the ▁order ▁of ▁the ▁king ▁and ▁his ▁great ▁men , ▁no ▁man ▁or ▁beast , ▁herd ▁or ▁flock , ▁is ▁to ▁have ▁a ▁t aste ▁of ▁anything ; ▁let ▁them ▁have ▁no ▁food ▁or ▁water : ▁And ▁letters ▁were ▁sent ▁by ▁the ▁run ners ▁into ▁every ▁division ▁of ▁the ▁kingdom ▁order ing ▁the ▁death ▁and ▁destruction ▁of ▁all ▁Jews , ▁young ▁and ▁old , ▁little ▁children ▁and ▁women , ▁on ▁the ▁same ▁day , ▁even ▁the ▁thir teenth ▁day ▁of ▁the ▁tw elf th ▁month , ▁the ▁month ▁Ad ar , ▁and ▁the ▁taking ▁of ▁all ▁their ▁goods ▁by ▁force . ▁I ▁put ▁the ▁record ▁of ▁my ▁ways ▁before ▁you , ▁and ▁you ▁gave ▁me ▁an ▁answer : ▁O ▁give ▁me ▁knowledge ▁of ▁your ▁rules . ▁And ▁he ▁said ▁to ▁them , ▁Why ▁are ▁you ▁full ▁of ▁fear ? ▁have ▁you ▁still ▁no ▁faith ? ▁And ▁he ▁took ▁me ▁out ▁into ▁the ▁inner ▁square ▁in ▁the ▁direction ▁of ▁the ▁north : ▁and ▁he ▁took ▁me ▁into ▁the ▁rooms ▁which ▁were ▁opposite ▁the ▁separate ▁place ▁and ▁opposite ▁the ▁building ▁to ▁the ▁north . ▁They ▁went ▁away ▁with ▁the ▁goods ▁they ▁had ▁taken , ▁man ▁and ▁beast . ▁And ▁they ▁went ▁through ▁Judah , ▁getting ▁together ▁the ▁Levites ▁and ▁the ▁heads ▁of ▁families ▁in ▁Israel ▁from ▁all ▁the ▁towns ▁of ▁Judah , ▁and ▁they ▁came ▁to ▁Jerusalem . ▁For ▁we ▁have ▁all ▁become ▁like ▁an ▁unclean ▁person , ▁and ▁all ▁our ▁good ▁acts ▁are ▁like ▁a ▁d irty ▁ro be : ▁and ▁we ▁have ▁all ▁become ▁old ▁like ▁a ▁dead ▁le af , ▁and ▁our ▁sins , ▁like ▁the ▁wind , ▁take ▁us ▁away . ▁Then ▁the ▁wings ▁of ▁the ▁w ing ed ▁ones ▁were ▁lifted ▁up , ▁and ▁the ▁wheels ▁were ▁by ▁their ▁side ;

▁destruction ▁has ▁come ▁on ▁H esh bon , ▁even ▁to ▁D ib on ; ▁and ▁we ▁have ▁made ▁the ▁land ▁waste ▁as ▁far ▁as ▁N oph ah , ▁stret ching ▁out ▁to ▁Med eb a . ▁And ▁at ▁Beth - el ▁the ▁sons ▁of ▁the ▁prophets ▁came ▁out ▁to ▁E lish a ▁and ▁said , ▁H as ▁it ▁been ▁made ▁clear ▁to ▁you ▁that ▁the ▁Lord ▁is ▁going ▁to ▁take ▁away ▁your ▁master ▁from ▁over ▁you ▁today ? ▁And ▁he ▁said , ▁Yes , ▁I ▁have ▁knowledge ▁of ▁it : ▁say ▁no ▁more . ▁Now , ▁at ▁these ▁words , ▁the ▁captain ▁of ▁the ▁Temple ▁and ▁the ▁chief ▁priests ▁were ▁greatly ▁troubled ▁about ▁what ▁might ▁be ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁this ▁business . ▁And ▁I ▁will ▁send ▁on ▁El am ▁four ▁wind s ▁from ▁the ▁four ▁quarters ▁of ▁heaven , ▁driving ▁them ▁out ▁to ▁all ▁those ▁wind s ;

▁and ▁they ▁took ▁to ▁him ▁all ▁who ▁were ▁ill ▁with ▁different ▁diseases ▁and ▁p ains , ▁those ▁having ▁evil ▁spir its ▁and ▁those ▁who ▁were ▁off ▁their ▁heads , ▁and ▁those ▁who ▁had ▁no ▁power ▁of ▁moving . ▁And ▁he ▁made ▁them ▁well . ▁And ▁they ▁said ▁to ▁one ▁another , ▁Who ▁has ▁done ▁this ▁thing ? ▁And ▁after ▁search ing ▁with ▁care , ▁they ▁said , ▁G ide on , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Jo ash , ▁has ▁done ▁this ▁thing . ▁The ▁five ▁chief s ▁of ▁the ▁Philistines , ▁and ▁all ▁the ▁C anaan ites ▁and ▁the ▁Z id on ians ▁and ▁the ▁H iv ites ▁living ▁in ▁Mount ▁Le ban on , ▁from ▁the ▁mountain ▁B a al - her mon ▁as ▁far ▁as ▁Ham ath : ▁This ▁is ▁what ▁the ▁Lord ▁has ▁said : ▁My ▁net ▁will ▁be ▁stretched ▁out ▁over ▁you , ▁and ▁I ▁will ▁take ▁you ▁up ▁in ▁my ▁fishing - net . ▁It ▁is ▁not ▁possible ▁for ▁a ▁good ▁tree ▁to ▁give ▁bad ▁fruit , ▁and ▁a ▁bad ▁tree ▁will ▁not ▁give ▁good ▁fruit . ▁The ▁wrath ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁will ▁not ▁be ▁turned ▁back ▁till ▁he ▁has ▁done , ▁till ▁he ▁has ▁put ▁into ▁effect , ▁the ▁purposes ▁of ▁his ▁heart : ▁in ▁days ▁to ▁come ▁you ▁will ▁have ▁full ▁knowledge ▁of ▁this . ▁And ▁David ▁sent ▁to ▁get ▁knowledge ▁who ▁the ▁woman ▁was . ▁And ▁one ▁said , ▁Is ▁this ▁not ▁B ath - s he ba , ▁the ▁daughter ▁of ▁Eli am ▁and ▁wife ▁of ▁U ri ah ▁the ▁H itt ite ? ▁And ▁this ▁will ▁be ▁the ▁sign ▁to ▁you : ▁you ▁will ▁get ▁your ▁food ▁this ▁year ▁from ▁what ▁comes ▁up ▁of ▁itself , ▁and ▁in ▁the ▁second ▁year ▁from ▁the ▁produce ▁of ▁the ▁same ; ▁and ▁in ▁the ▁third ▁year ▁you ▁will ▁put ▁in ▁your ▁seed , ▁and ▁get ▁in ▁the ▁grain , ▁and ▁make ▁vine - g ard ens , ▁and ▁take ▁of ▁their ▁fruit . ▁And ▁they ▁will ▁be ▁building ▁again ▁the ▁old ▁broken ▁walls , ▁and ▁will ▁make ▁new ▁the ▁old ▁waste ▁places , ▁and ▁will ▁put ▁up ▁again ▁the ▁towns ▁which ▁have ▁been ▁waste ▁for ▁long ▁generations . ▁And ▁he ▁said , ▁This ▁is ▁what ▁the ▁Lord ▁has ▁said , ▁Tom orrow ▁is ▁a ▁day ▁of ▁rest , ▁a ▁holy ▁Sab bath ▁to ▁the ▁Lord : ▁what ▁has ▁to ▁be ▁co oked ▁may ▁be ▁co oked ; ▁and ▁what ▁is ▁over , ▁put ▁on ▁one ▁side ▁to ▁be ▁kept ▁till ▁the ▁morning . ▁See , ▁I ▁have ▁made ▁the ▁iron - work er , ▁blow ing ▁on ▁the ▁burning ▁co als , ▁and ▁making ▁the ▁instru ment ▁of ▁war ▁by ▁his ▁work ;

▁but ▁his ▁living - place ▁will ▁be ▁in ▁the ▁dry ▁places ▁in ▁the ▁waste ▁land , ▁in ▁a ▁s alt ▁and ▁un pe op led ▁land . ▁In ▁that ▁day ▁this ▁saying ▁will ▁be ▁said ▁about ▁you , ▁and ▁this ▁song ▁of ▁grief ▁will ▁be ▁made : ▁The ▁heritage ▁of ▁my ▁people ▁is ▁meas ured ▁out , ▁and ▁there ▁is ▁no ▁one ▁to ▁give ▁it ▁back ; ▁those ▁who ▁have ▁made ▁us ▁prisoners ▁have ▁taken ▁our ▁fields ▁from ▁us , ▁and ▁complete ▁destruction ▁has ▁come ▁to ▁us . ▁But ▁a ▁common ▁destruction ▁will ▁overt ake ▁sin ners ▁and ▁evil - do ers ▁together , ▁and ▁those ▁who ▁have ▁gone ▁away ▁from ▁the ▁Lord ▁will ▁be ▁cut ▁off . ▁And ▁I ▁will ▁have ▁mercy ▁on ▁you , ▁so ▁that ▁he ▁may ▁have ▁mercy ▁on ▁you ▁and ▁let ▁you ▁go ▁back ▁to ▁your ▁land . ▁So ▁now , ▁make ▁a ▁change ▁for ▁the ▁better ▁in ▁your ▁ways ▁and ▁your ▁do ings , ▁and ▁give ▁ear ▁to ▁the ▁voice ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁your ▁God ; ▁then ▁the ▁Lord ▁will ▁let ▁himself ▁be ▁turned ▁from ▁the ▁decision ▁he ▁has ▁made ▁against ▁you ▁for ▁evil . ▁And ▁he ▁took ▁away ▁all ▁the ▁st ored ▁wealth ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ' s ▁house , ▁and ▁the ▁goods ▁from ▁the ▁king ' s ▁store - h ouse , ▁cutting ▁up ▁all ▁the ▁gold ▁vessels ▁which ▁Solomon , ▁king ▁of ▁Israel , ▁had ▁made ▁in ▁the ▁house ▁of ▁the ▁Lord , ▁as ▁the ▁Lord ▁had ▁said . ▁But ▁Jerem iah ▁said , ▁They ▁will ▁not ▁give ▁you ▁up : ▁be ▁guided ▁now ▁by ▁the ▁word ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁as ▁I ▁have ▁given ▁it ▁to ▁you , ▁and ▁it ▁will ▁be ▁well ▁for ▁you , ▁and ▁you ▁will ▁keep ▁your ▁life . ▁And ▁the ▁Lord ▁said ▁to ▁Moses , ▁Not ▁everyone ▁who ▁says ▁to ▁me , ▁Lord , ▁Lord , ▁will ▁go ▁into ▁the ▁kingdom ▁of ▁heaven ; ▁but ▁he ▁who ▁does ▁the ▁pleasure ▁of ▁my ▁Father ▁in ▁heaven . ▁And ▁Moses ▁gave ▁Aaron ▁an ▁account ▁of ▁all ▁the ▁words ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ▁which ▁he ▁had ▁sent ▁him ▁to ▁say , ▁and ▁of ▁all ▁the ▁signs ▁which ▁he ▁had ▁given ▁him ▁orders ▁to ▁do . ▁So ▁there ▁was ▁a ▁division ▁among ▁the ▁people ▁because ▁of ▁him . ▁But ▁if ▁we ▁were ▁true ▁judges ▁of ▁our selves , ▁punishment ▁would ▁not ▁come ▁on ▁us . ▁And ▁the ▁man ▁had ▁connection ▁with ▁E ve ▁his ▁wife , ▁and ▁she ▁became ▁with ▁child ▁and ▁gave ▁birth ▁to ▁C ain , ▁and ▁said , ▁I ▁have ▁got ▁a ▁man ▁from ▁the ▁Lord . ▁See , ▁I ▁will ▁get ▁them ▁together ▁from ▁all ▁the ▁countries ▁where ▁I ▁have ▁sent ▁them ▁in ▁my ▁wrath ▁and ▁in ▁the ▁heat ▁of ▁my ▁pass ion ▁and ▁in ▁my ▁bitter ▁feeling ;

▁and ▁for ▁three ▁days ▁they ▁were ▁in ▁the ▁waste ▁land ▁where ▁there ▁was ▁no ▁water . ▁Having ▁a ▁vessel ▁of ▁gold ▁in ▁it ▁for ▁burning ▁perf um es , ▁and ▁the ▁ark ▁of ▁the ▁agreement , ▁which ▁was ▁covered ▁with ▁gold ▁and ▁which ▁had ▁in ▁it ▁a ▁pot ▁made ▁of ▁gold ▁for ▁the ▁man na , ▁and ▁Aaron ' s ▁ro d ▁which ▁put ▁out ▁b ud s , ▁and ▁the ▁stones ▁with ▁the ▁writing ▁of ▁the ▁agreement ; ▁And ▁while ▁he ▁was ▁talking ▁to ▁them , ▁the ▁f igh ter , ▁the ▁Philist ine ▁of ▁G ath , ▁G ol i ath ▁by ▁name , ▁came ▁out ▁from ▁the ▁Philistines ' ▁lines ▁and ▁said ▁the ▁same ▁words , ▁in ▁David ' s ▁hearing . ▁And ▁they ▁sent ▁word ▁to ▁David , ▁saying , ▁The ▁Philistines ▁are ▁fighting ▁against ▁Ke il ah ▁and ▁taking ▁the ▁grain ▁from ▁the ▁grain - f lo ors . ▁The ▁grass - land ▁is ▁th ick ▁with ▁fl ocks ; ▁the ▁val le ys ▁are ▁full ▁of ▁grain ; ▁they ▁give ▁glad ▁c ries ▁and ▁song s ▁of ▁joy . ▁And ▁the ▁gold ▁body - co vers ▁of ▁the ▁servants ▁of ▁Had ade zer , ▁David ▁took ▁to ▁Jerusalem . ▁He ▁who ▁has ▁no ▁belief ▁in ▁the ▁Son ▁has ▁not ▁the ▁Father : ▁he ▁who ▁makes ▁clear ▁his ▁belief ▁in ▁the ▁Son ▁has ▁the ▁Father . ▁Because ▁of ▁the ▁day ▁which ▁is ▁coming ▁with ▁destruction ▁on ▁all ▁the ▁Philistines , ▁cutting ▁off ▁from ▁T y re ▁and ▁Z id on ▁the ▁last ▁of ▁their ▁help ers : ▁for ▁the ▁Lord ▁will ▁send ▁destruction ▁on ▁the ▁Philistines , ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁sea - land ▁of ▁Cap h t or . ▁T alk ing ▁against ▁him ▁secret ly ▁in ▁their ▁tents , ▁they ▁did ▁not ▁give ▁ear ▁to ▁the ▁voice ▁of ▁the ▁Lord . ▁And ▁she ▁gave ▁the ▁child ▁the ▁name ▁of ▁I ch ab od , ▁saying , ▁The ▁glory ▁has ▁gone ▁from ▁Israel : ▁because ▁the ▁ark ▁of ▁God ▁was ▁taken ▁and ▁because ▁of ▁her ▁father - in - law ▁and ▁her ▁husband . ▁Their ▁arrows ▁give ▁certain ▁death , ▁they ▁are ▁all ▁men ▁of ▁war . ▁( Now ▁this , ▁He ▁went ▁up , ▁what ▁is ▁it ▁but ▁that ▁he ▁first ▁went ▁down ▁into ▁the ▁lower ▁parts ▁of ▁the ▁earth ? ▁And ▁No ah ▁was ▁six ▁hundred ▁years ▁old ▁when ▁the ▁waters ▁came ▁flow ing ▁over ▁all ▁the ▁earth . ▁For ▁they ▁have ▁all ▁come ▁with ▁offerings ▁to ▁a ▁people ▁of ▁no ▁use ▁to ▁them , ▁in ▁whom ▁is ▁no ▁help ▁or ▁profit , ▁but ▁only ▁shame ▁and ▁a ▁bad ▁name . ▁And ▁he ▁put ▁door - keep ers ▁at ▁the ▁doors ▁of ▁the ▁Lord ' s ▁house , ▁to ▁see ▁that ▁no ▁one ▁who ▁was ▁unclean ▁in ▁any ▁way ▁might ▁come ▁in . ▁Yes , ▁I ▁make ▁my ▁request ▁to ▁you , ▁so ▁that ▁when ▁I ▁am ▁with ▁you ▁I ▁may ▁not ▁have ▁to ▁make ▁use ▁of ▁the ▁authority ▁which ▁may ▁be ▁needed ▁against ▁some ▁to ▁whom ▁we ▁seem ▁to ▁be ▁walk ing ▁after ▁the ▁flesh . ▁And ▁make ▁the ▁table - ves sel s , ▁the ▁sp oons ▁and ▁the ▁cups ▁and ▁the ▁bas ins ▁for ▁liqu ids , ▁all ▁of ▁the ▁best ▁gold . ▁These ▁lamb s ▁Jacob ▁kept ▁separate ; ▁and ▁he ▁put ▁his ▁flock ▁in ▁a ▁place ▁by ▁themselves ▁and ▁not ▁with ▁L ab an ' s ▁flock . ▁We ▁give ▁you ▁praise , ▁O ▁Lord ▁God , ▁R ul er ▁of ▁all , ▁who ▁is ▁and ▁who ▁was ; ▁because ▁you ▁have ▁taken ▁up ▁your ▁great ▁power ▁and ▁are ▁ruling ▁your ▁kingdom . ▁My ▁son , ▁keep ▁my ▁teaching ▁in ▁your ▁memory , ▁and ▁my ▁rules ▁in ▁your ▁heart : ▁Then ▁those ▁who ▁came ▁first ▁had ▁the ▁idea ▁that ▁they ▁would ▁get ▁more ; ▁and ▁they , ▁like ▁the ▁rest , ▁were ▁given ▁a ▁p enny . ▁A way ! ▁unclean ! ▁they ▁were ▁cry ing ▁out ▁to ▁them , ▁A way ! ▁away ! ▁let ▁there ▁be ▁no ▁touch ing : ▁when ▁they ▁went ▁away ▁in ▁flight ▁and ▁w and ering , ▁men ▁said ▁among ▁the ▁nations , ▁There ▁is ▁no ▁further ▁rest ing - place ▁for ▁them . ▁Now ▁Ben - had ad , ▁king ▁of ▁Aram , ▁got ▁all ▁his ▁army ▁together , ▁and ▁thirty - two ▁kings ▁with ▁him , ▁and ▁horses ▁and ▁car ri ages ▁of ▁war ; ▁he ▁went ▁up ▁and ▁made ▁war ▁on ▁Sam aria , ▁shut ting ▁it ▁in . ▁But ▁when ▁the ▁four teenth ▁day ▁came , ▁while ▁we ▁were ▁going ▁here ▁and ▁there ▁in ▁the ▁Ad ri atic ▁sea , ▁about ▁the ▁middle ▁of ▁the ▁night ▁the ▁sail ors ▁had ▁an ▁idea ▁that ▁they ▁were ▁getting ▁near ▁land ; ▁He ▁whose ▁ways ▁are ▁upright ▁will ▁be ▁safe , ▁but ▁sudden ▁will ▁be ▁the ▁fall ▁of ▁him ▁whose ▁ways ▁are ▁tw isted . ▁They ▁have ▁overcome ▁me , ▁you ▁will ▁say , ▁and ▁I ▁have ▁no ▁pain ; ▁they ▁gave ▁me ▁blow s ▁without ▁my ▁feeling ▁them : ▁when ▁will ▁I ▁be ▁aw ake ▁from ▁my ▁wine ? ▁I ▁will ▁go ▁after ▁it ▁again . ▁But ▁the ▁fight ▁became ▁more ▁viol ent ▁while ▁the ▁day ▁went ▁on ; ▁and ▁the ▁king ▁was ▁supported ▁in ▁his ▁war - c ar riage ▁facing ▁the ▁Aram ae ans , ▁and ▁the ▁floor ▁of ▁the ▁car riage ▁was ▁covered ▁with ▁the ▁blood ▁from ▁his ▁w ound , ▁and ▁by ▁evening ▁he ▁was ▁dead . ▁Give ▁ear , ▁O ▁sea - lands , ▁to ▁me ; ▁and ▁take ▁note , ▁you ▁peoples ▁from ▁far : ▁I ▁have ▁been ▁marked ▁out ▁by ▁the ▁Lord ▁from ▁the ▁first ; ▁when ▁I ▁was ▁still ▁in ▁my ▁mother ' s ▁body , ▁he ▁had ▁my ▁name ▁in ▁mind : ▁Now ▁by ▁chance ▁there ▁was ▁present ▁a ▁good - for - n othing ▁person ▁named ▁She ba , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁B ich ri , ▁a ▁Ben j am ite : ▁and ▁he , ▁sound ing ▁the ▁horn , ▁said , ▁We ▁have ▁no ▁part ▁in ▁David , ▁or ▁any ▁interest ▁in ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Jes se : ▁let ▁every ▁man ▁go ▁to ▁his ▁tent , ▁O ▁Israel . ▁Get ▁up ▁now , ▁and ▁go ▁over ▁the ▁stream ▁Z ered . ▁So ▁we ▁went ▁over ▁the ▁stream ▁Z ered . ▁It ▁is ▁to ▁be ▁pl ated ▁with ▁the ▁best ▁gold , ▁the ▁top ▁of ▁it ▁and ▁the ▁sides ▁and ▁the ▁horns , ▁with ▁an ▁ed ging ▁of ▁gold ▁all ▁round ▁it . ▁Let ▁my ▁eyes ▁be ▁open ▁to ▁see ▁the ▁w ond ers ▁of ▁your ▁law . ▁If ▁we ▁are ▁question ed ▁today ▁about ▁a ▁good ▁work ▁done ▁to ▁a ▁man ▁who ▁was ▁ill , ▁as ▁to ▁how ▁he ▁has ▁been ▁made ▁well , ▁Then ▁the ▁king ▁of ▁Assy ria ▁gave ▁orders , ▁saying , ▁S end ▁there ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁priests ▁whom ▁you ▁took ▁away , ▁and ▁let ▁him ▁be ▁living ▁there ▁and ▁teaching ▁the ▁people ▁the ▁way ▁of ▁the ▁god ▁of ▁the ▁land . ▁Then ▁the ▁Lord ▁said ▁to ▁Moses ▁and ▁Aaron , ▁Even ▁if ▁you ▁are ▁kind ▁to ▁the ▁evil - do er , ▁he ▁will ▁not ▁go ▁after ▁righteousness ; ▁even ▁in ▁the ▁land ▁of ▁the ▁upright ▁he ▁will ▁still ▁go ▁on ▁in ▁his ▁wrongdo ing , ▁and ▁will ▁not ▁see ▁the ▁glory ▁of ▁the ▁Lord . ▁And ▁to ▁have ▁love ▁for ▁him ▁with ▁all ▁the ▁heart , ▁and ▁with ▁all ▁the ▁mind , ▁and ▁with ▁all ▁the ▁strength , ▁and ▁to ▁have ▁the ▁same ▁love ▁for ▁his ▁neighbour ▁as ▁for ▁himself , ▁is ▁much ▁more ▁than ▁all ▁forms ▁of ▁offerings . ▁But ▁Fest us , ▁in ▁answer , ▁said ▁that ▁Paul ▁was ▁being ▁kept ▁in ▁prison ▁at ▁Caes are a , ▁and ▁that ▁in ▁a ▁short ▁time ▁he ▁himself ▁was ▁going ▁there . ▁His ▁offering ▁was ▁one ▁silver ▁pl ate , ▁a ▁hundred ▁and ▁thirty ▁she k els ▁in ▁weight , ▁one ▁silver ▁bas in ▁of ▁seventy ▁she k els , ▁by ▁the ▁scale ▁of ▁the ▁holy ▁place ; ▁the ▁two ▁of ▁them ▁full ▁of ▁the ▁best ▁meal ▁m ixed ▁with ▁oil ▁for ▁a ▁meal ▁offering ; ▁And ▁numbers ▁of ▁people ▁will ▁be ▁turned ▁from ▁the ▁right ▁way , ▁and ▁will ▁give ▁one ▁another ▁up ▁and ▁have ▁hate ▁for ▁one ▁another . ▁And ▁he ▁said , ▁This ▁I ▁will ▁do : ▁I ▁will ▁take ▁down ▁my ▁store - h ous es ▁and ▁make ▁greater ▁ones , ▁and ▁there ▁I ▁will ▁put ▁all ▁my ▁grain ▁and ▁my ▁goods . ▁By ▁the ▁power ▁of ▁the ▁Lord , ▁those ▁who ▁take ▁arms ▁against ▁you ▁will ▁be ▁overcome ▁before ▁you : ▁they ▁will ▁come ▁out ▁against ▁you ▁one ▁way , ▁and ▁will ▁go ▁in ▁flight ▁from ▁you ▁seven ▁ways . ▁My ▁eyes ▁are ▁stream ing ▁without ▁stop ping , ▁they ▁have ▁no ▁rest , ▁He ▁gives ▁power ▁to ▁the ▁fee ble , ▁increasing ▁the ▁strength ▁of ▁him ▁who ▁has ▁no ▁force . ▁Then ▁Bal ak , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Z ipp or , ▁king ▁of ▁Moab , ▁went ▁up ▁to ▁war ▁against ▁Israel ; ▁and ▁he ▁sent ▁for ▁Bala am , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Be or , ▁to ▁put ▁a ▁curse ▁on ▁you : ▁And ▁he ▁saw ▁the ▁Lord ▁by ▁his ▁side , ▁saying , ▁I ▁am ▁the ▁Lord , ▁the ▁God ▁of ▁Abraham ▁your ▁father , ▁and ▁the ▁God ▁of ▁Isa ac : ▁I ▁will ▁give ▁to ▁you ▁and ▁to ▁your ▁seed ▁this ▁land ▁on ▁which ▁you ▁are ▁sleeping . ▁Your ▁people ▁are ▁crushed ▁by ▁them , ▁O ▁Lord , ▁your ▁heritage ▁is ▁troubled , ▁And ▁over ▁the ▁tribes ▁of ▁Israel : ▁the ▁ruler ▁of ▁the ▁Re ub en ites ▁was ▁El ie zer , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Z ich ri ; ▁of ▁the ▁S ime on ites , ▁She ph at iah , ▁the ▁son ▁of ▁Ma ac ah ; ▁And ▁again ▁another ▁ verse ▁says , ▁They ▁will ▁see ▁him ▁who ▁was ▁wounded ▁by ▁their ▁sp ears . ▁Let ▁those ▁who ▁say ▁this ▁keep ▁in ▁mind ▁that , ▁what ▁we ▁are ▁in ▁word ▁by ▁letters ▁when ▁we ▁are ▁away , ▁so ▁will ▁we ▁be ▁in ▁act ▁when ▁we ▁are ▁present . ▁And ▁take ▁the ▁holy ▁oil ▁and ▁put ▁it ▁on ▁the ▁House ▁and ▁everything ▁in ▁it , ▁and ▁make ▁it ▁and ▁everything ▁in ▁it ▁holy : ▁Japanese ▁Official ▁Development ▁Ass istance ▁is ▁extended ▁by ▁the ▁Government ▁of ▁Japan ▁through ▁Japan ▁International ▁Cooperation ▁Agency ▁( JICA ), ▁in ▁terms ▁of ▁Loan ▁A id ▁( Y en ▁Lo ans ), ▁Gr ant ▁A id , ▁Technical ▁Cooperation ▁and ▁Development ▁Stud ies . ▁Expenditure ▁Des cript ion ▁by ▁Project ▁( D iv ine g uma ▁Division ) ▁Se ven ▁K ochchi / ▁N ai ▁mir is ▁access ions ▁were ▁evaluated ▁for ▁le af ▁cur l ▁virus . ▁The ▁Official ▁Language ▁Policy ▁is ▁implemented ▁in ▁public ▁institutions ▁to ▁secure ▁the ▁language ▁right ▁of ▁all ▁the ▁citizens . ▁U pl if ting ▁the ▁differently - abled ▁( iii ) ▁training ▁of ▁person nel ▁in ▁modern ▁techn olog ies ▁to ▁meet ▁the ▁needs ▁of ▁the ▁Government ▁and ▁private ▁sector ▁undert ak ings ▁Source ▁: ▁District ▁Land ▁Registrar ▁Office , ▁K ach cher i , ▁Batticaloa ▁If ▁you ▁have ▁to ▁leave ▁your ▁home , ▁remember ▁these ▁ev ac uation ▁t ips : ▁In ▁addition , ▁awareness ▁was ▁created ▁among ▁the ▁people ▁by ▁live ▁programs ▁through ▁aud io vis ual ▁electronic ▁media ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁by ▁newspaper ▁reports ▁during ▁this ▁week . ▁Inc re ase ▁in ▁acc ru ed ▁expenditure ▁Other ▁Cred itors ▁School ▁le a vers , ▁subject ▁enth us i ast s , ▁teachers ▁and ▁pract ition ers ▁interested ▁in ▁g aining ▁knowledge ▁in ▁practical ▁elect ron ics ▁attended ▁the ▁course , ▁earning ▁an ▁income ▁of ▁approximately ▁Rs .1, 100 ,000/- . ▁Similarly , ▁C ess ▁was ▁increased ▁for ▁sa u ces ▁and ▁sa uce ▁prepar atory ▁items ;

▁friend ▁John ; ▁I ▁am ▁not ▁blind ! ▁“ Ah , ▁bar on , ▁bar on ,” ▁said ▁Albert , ▁“ you ▁are ▁not ▁list ening — what ▁bar bar ism ▁in ▁a ▁me gal oman i ac ▁like ▁you !” ▁Don ’ t ▁be ▁cruel ▁to ▁me , ▁because ▁I ▁love ▁you ▁better ▁than ▁anything ▁in ▁the ▁world . ▁Is ▁not ▁that ▁gentlem an ▁Dr . ▁Van ▁H els ing ? ▁The ▁world ▁had ▁looked ▁upon ▁him ▁as ▁inf am ous . ▁I ▁want ▁you ▁and ▁Basil ▁to

▁“ N othing ▁that ▁would ▁lead ▁you ▁to ▁suppose ?” ▁I ▁had ▁now ▁an ▁opportunity ▁of ▁observ ing ▁him , ▁and ▁found ▁him ▁of ▁a ▁very ▁marked ▁phys i ogn omy . ▁S om ething ▁has ▁happened ▁to ▁you , ▁Dorian . ▁" If ▁you ▁will ▁only ▁ag ree ▁to ▁my ▁request , ▁I ▁promise ▁you ▁never ▁to ▁mention ▁another ▁word ▁about ▁esc ap ing ." ▁Andre a ▁made ▁a ▁low ▁bow ▁to ▁the ▁count , ▁and ▁entered ▁the

▁F riend ▁John , ▁this ▁has ▁been ▁a ▁great ▁hour ; ▁and ▁it ▁have ▁done ▁much ▁to ▁adv ance ▁us ▁on ▁our ▁way . ▁" K it , ▁it ▁is ▁just ▁wonderful . ▁Take ▁a ▁post - ch a ise ▁or ▁a ▁car riage . ▁“ P

▁This ▁was ▁the ▁sc ene ▁which ▁presented ▁itself ▁to ▁my ▁view ▁as ▁I ▁qu itted ▁my ▁father ▁after ▁that ▁last ▁kiss . ▁" I ▁have ▁no ▁en m ity ▁against ▁M . ▁Franz , ▁and ▁promise ▁you ▁the

▁him ,” ▁said ▁the ▁count ess ; ▁“ I ▁have ▁a ▁great ▁mind ▁to ▁return ▁it .” ▁" You ▁had ▁a ▁fine ▁escape .” ▁“ You ▁are ▁not ▁serious , ▁Dorian ?” ▁she ▁murm ured . ▁Are ▁you ▁not ▁a ▁sports man

▁passed ▁several ▁times ▁the ▁one ▁in ▁which ▁was ▁Te res a . ▁When ▁Dorian ▁had ▁finished ▁the ▁letter , ▁he ▁felt ▁that ▁he ▁had ▁been ▁forg iven . ▁This ▁one ▁will ▁have ▁to ▁interest ▁you . ▁D ’ A

I ▁wish ▁to ▁tell ▁you ▁what ▁that ▁is , ▁and ▁why ▁I ▁am ▁in ▁England .” ▁The ▁am iable ▁V enge ance ▁added , ▁with ▁a ▁laugh , ▁Yes , ▁my ▁faith ! ▁Look ▁at ▁it , ▁and ▁tell ▁me ▁what ▁you ▁think ▁of ▁it . ▁These ▁inf in ites imal ▁distin ctions ▁between ▁man ▁and ▁man ▁are ▁too ▁p alt ry ▁for ▁an ▁O m n ip ot ent ▁Being . ▁There ▁he ▁is , ▁calling ▁to ▁me . ▁Oh , ▁I ▁am ▁done ▁with

. ▁Morrel ▁called ▁her , ▁and ▁she ▁ran ▁to ▁the ▁gate . ▁What ▁the ▁count ▁said ▁was ▁true — the ▁most ▁cur ious ▁sp ect acle ▁in ▁life ▁is ▁that ▁of ▁death . ▁The ▁powers ▁of ▁Hy de ▁seemed ▁to ▁have ▁g rown ▁with ▁the ▁sick l iness ▁of ▁Je ky ll . ▁He ▁had ▁seen ▁gro t es qu e ▁children ▁h udd led ▁upon ▁door - step s , ▁and ▁heard ▁sh rie ks ▁and ▁oath s ▁from ▁glo omy ▁courts . ▁The ▁worth y ▁major ▁raised ▁his ▁eyes ▁to ▁heaven ▁and ▁s ighed . ▁Had ▁he ▁ever ▁been ▁a ▁sp y ▁himself ? ▁I ▁hear ▁them ▁now , ▁and ▁they ▁make ▁me ▁sh udd er . ▁A ▁third ▁man ▁got ▁up ▁and ▁went ▁out

▁the ▁reality ▁of ▁his ▁dream , ▁was ▁almost ▁be w ild ered . ▁“ I ▁shall ▁stay ▁with ▁the ▁real ▁Dorian ,” ▁he ▁said , ▁sad ly . ▁Then ▁he ▁murm ured ▁the ▁words ▁of ▁the ▁English ▁po et , ▁" F ra

▁the ▁count , ▁and ▁presented ▁the ▁letter . ▁““ The ▁house ▁is ▁sold , ▁then ?” ▁demand ed ▁the ▁conc ier ge , ▁and ▁this ▁gentlem an ▁is ▁coming ▁to ▁live ▁here ?” ▁““ Well ,” ▁said ▁Caderousse , ▁I ▁should ▁have ▁sw orn ▁that ▁he ▁turned ▁to ▁the ▁right — how ▁tre ac her ous ▁wine ▁is !” ▁In ▁consequ ence , ▁he ▁brought ▁them ▁the ▁key ▁of ▁his ▁own - at ▁least ▁such ▁was ▁the ▁apparent ▁mot ive ▁of ▁his ▁visit . ▁His ▁first ▁idea ▁was ▁to ▁b reat he , ▁that ▁he ▁might ▁know ▁whether ▁he ▁was ▁wounded . ▁40 16 4 m ▁“ T hen ▁I ▁shall ▁believe ▁God ▁has ▁forg iven ▁you , ▁and ▁I ▁will ▁forgive

▁I ▁saw ▁this . ▁There ▁was ▁even ▁a ▁d au b ▁on ▁the ▁side ▁of ▁her ▁hands ome ▁sens itive ▁nose . ▁How ▁will ▁you ▁have ▁them ▁protect ▁you ? ▁“ I ▁will ▁not ▁ad mit ▁that ▁word ,” ▁returned ▁the ▁young ▁man ; ▁“ it ▁is ▁at ▁once ▁cruel ▁and ▁un just ." ▁“ Well , ▁I ▁hop ed ▁to ▁get ▁an ▁exchange ▁of ▁arms , - ▁to ▁substitute ▁the ▁sword ▁for ▁the ▁p ist ol ; ▁the ▁p ist ol ▁is ▁blind .” ▁" O

▁without ▁knowing ▁what ▁had ▁become ▁of ▁R ita ’ s ▁father . ▁“ Is ▁there ▁a ▁window ▁in ▁the ▁dress ing - room ?” ▁This ▁he ▁said ▁with ▁intense ▁sc orn . ▁Monte ▁Cristo ▁saw ▁nothing ▁but ▁the

▁a ▁ve iled ▁lady , ▁some ▁foreign ▁princess , ▁perhaps ▁the ▁mother ▁of ▁C aval c ant i ." ▁The ▁two ▁daughters ▁went ▁over ▁to ▁the ▁tea ▁tab ou ret , ▁where ▁a ▁mat ron ly ▁maid ▁was ▁bus ying ▁with ▁the ▁service . ▁Then ▁she ▁began ▁to ▁rub ▁her ▁lips ▁as ▁though ▁to ▁clean se ▁them ▁from ▁pollution . ▁The ▁latter ▁re tain ed ▁the ▁count ’ s ▁hand ▁between ▁his . ▁“ D on ’ t ▁t ort ure ▁a

▁terrible ▁effort ▁w ren ched ▁the ▁t ight ening ▁fing ers ▁away . ▁Then ▁he ▁laid ▁it ▁down , ▁seized ▁his ▁pen , ▁and ▁wrote ▁a ▁few ▁words . ▁" D oes ▁his ▁mother ▁keep ▁po isons ▁in ▁her ▁labor

▁we ▁will ▁not ▁talk ▁again ▁of ▁what ▁has ▁happened . ▁But , ▁once ▁started , ▁he ▁could ▁not ▁stop . ▁“ You , ▁dear ▁m am ma ?” ▁excl aimed ▁M . ▁de ▁Villefort ▁and ▁Valentine ▁at ▁the ▁same ▁time . ▁“ I ▁am ▁entire ly ▁at ▁your ▁service , ▁M . ▁Morrel ,” ▁answered ▁Danglars . ▁Do ▁you ▁wish ▁for ▁any ▁further ▁det ails ? ▁“ It ▁is ▁bad ▁weather , ▁gentlem en ,” ▁said ▁Defarge , ▁shaking ▁his ▁head . ▁This ▁marriage ▁is ▁quite ▁right . ▁" S o , ▁without ▁losing ▁time , ▁tell ▁me , ▁have ▁you ▁the ▁slight est ▁idea ▁when ce ▁this ▁terrible ▁blow ▁proceed s ?” ▁" T ell ▁me , ▁therefore , ▁who ▁are ▁these ▁men ▁who ▁killed ▁the ▁son ▁with ▁desp air , ▁and ▁the ▁father ▁with ▁fam ine ?" ▁At ▁dark , ▁passed ▁into ▁the ▁arch ip el ag o . ▁* ▁* ▁* ▁* ▁* ▁On ▁July ▁13, ▁C ape ▁Mat ap an . ▁“ N ever ,” ▁replied ▁the ▁count , ▁who ▁was ▁by ▁this ▁time ▁perfect ly ▁master ▁of ▁himself ▁again . ▁Bes ides , ▁I ▁want ▁you ▁to ▁tell ▁me ▁why ▁I ▁should ▁not ▁go ▁in ▁for ▁phil an th ro py . ▁“ Yes , ▁my ▁dear , ▁but ▁not ▁for ▁you ▁to ▁play ▁with . ▁It ▁was , ▁that ▁another ▁part o ok ▁of ▁his ▁punishment — that ▁another ▁part o ok ▁of ▁his ▁ang u ish — that ▁another ▁was ▁to ▁die ▁before ▁him ! ▁“ He re ,” ▁said ▁Caderousse , ▁" d raw ▁me ▁all ▁that ▁on ▁the ▁paper , ▁my ▁boy ." ▁There ▁was ▁a ▁wild ern ess ▁of ▁beautiful ▁white ▁flowers , ▁and ▁death ▁was ▁made ▁as ▁little ▁rep uls

▁the ▁can v as , ▁became ▁me ll owed , ▁warm ▁and ▁gold en . ▁It ▁was ▁Noirtier ▁the ▁le mon ade ▁was ▁intended ▁for — it ▁is ▁Noirtier , ▁log ically ▁speaking , ▁who ▁dr ank ▁it . ▁His ▁arms ▁became ▁st iff , ▁his ▁legs ▁lost ▁their ▁fle x ibility , ▁and ▁he ▁was ▁almost ▁breath less . ▁“ Do ▁you ▁not ▁see ▁the ▁child ?” ▁" I ▁never ▁showed ▁you ▁this ▁before ." ▁Men ▁mar ry ▁because ▁they ▁are ▁t ired ; ▁women , ▁because ▁they ▁are ▁cur ious ; ▁both ▁are ▁disapp ointed .” ▁If ▁we ▁were ▁surprised , ▁if ▁it ▁were ▁known ▁that ▁we ▁met ▁thus , ▁we ▁should ▁have ▁no ▁further ▁resource .” ▁" You ▁have ▁often ▁told ▁me ▁that ▁you ▁like ▁your ▁sit ters ▁to ▁have ▁someone ▁to ▁ch at ▁with ." ▁I ▁feel ▁myself ▁quite ▁wild ▁with ▁exc ite ment . ▁My ▁st ables ▁are ▁at ▁your ▁command , ▁vis c

▁her ▁way ▁along ▁the ▁streets , ▁came ▁ne arer ▁and ▁ne arer . ▁Writ ten ▁by ▁the ▁hand ▁of ▁L any on , ▁what ▁should ▁it ▁mean ? ▁“ H ay d é e ,” ▁replied ▁the ▁count , ▁“ you ▁know ▁that ▁you ▁are ▁now ▁in ▁France , ▁and ▁are ▁free .” ▁“ My ▁dear ▁Dorian ,” ▁answered ▁Lord ▁Henry , ▁you ▁mere ly ▁f ain ted . ▁It ▁is ▁mis er able — do ▁you ▁see ? — al ways ▁to ▁wait ▁till ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the

▁is ▁to ▁say , ▁better ▁than ▁I ▁do ?” ▁observed ▁Defarge . ▁" You ▁used ▁to ▁laugh ▁at ▁me ▁for ▁it ▁then , ▁Art .” ▁“ Is ▁there ▁any ▁no ise ▁in ▁the ▁streets ▁now ?” ▁asked ▁Miss ▁Pro ss ▁again , ▁present ly . ▁I ▁am ▁afraid ▁to ▁think ▁what ▁may ▁happen ▁to ▁us . ▁It ▁was ▁Merc édès ▁le an ing ▁on ▁her ▁son ’ s ▁arm ▁and ▁leaving ▁the ▁house . ▁“ He re ▁he ▁is ,” ▁said ▁the ▁Do ctor , ▁ent

▁fal tering ▁voice . ▁Under ▁the ▁President ▁sat ▁Do ctor ▁Man ette , ▁in ▁his ▁usual ▁quiet ▁dress . ▁I ▁suspected ▁him , ▁and ▁determined ▁to ▁test ▁his ▁sin cer ity . ▁This ▁seemed ▁to ▁p ique ▁general ▁cur ios ity , ▁and ▁quite ▁a ▁number ▁of ▁people ▁began ▁to ▁run . ▁Some ▁three ▁years , ▁or ▁three ▁years ▁and ▁a ▁half ▁ago .” ▁“ My ▁dear ▁fellow ,” ▁said ▁Debray , ▁“ you ▁have ▁come ▁in ▁the ▁n ick ▁of ▁time . ▁As ▁I ▁was ▁leaving ▁the ▁room , ▁he ▁came ▁after ▁me ▁and ▁half ▁whis pered , ▁" M ind , ▁nothing ▁must ▁be ▁said ▁of ▁this ." ▁Can ▁I ▁separate ▁my ▁father ’ s ▁tw in - bro

▁part ▁did ▁he ▁play ▁in ▁this ▁sad ▁d rama ?” ▁inquired ▁the ▁abbé . ▁We ▁could ▁distingu ish ▁clearly ▁the ▁individuals ▁of ▁each ▁party , ▁the ▁purs ued ▁and ▁the ▁pursu ers . ▁“ P ati ence , ▁madame , ▁I ▁am ▁coming ▁to ▁it .” ▁And ▁off ▁his ▁head ▁comes ! ▁What ▁a ▁pity ▁it ▁was ▁that ▁such ▁beauty ▁was ▁dest ined ▁to ▁f ade ! ▁... ▁" He ▁comes ▁to ▁f et ch ▁his ▁wife ▁and ▁daughter ." ▁“ The ▁fate ,” ▁replied ▁he , ▁smiling , ▁“ of ▁those ▁who ▁buried ▁Alaric , ▁and ▁were ▁inter red ▁with ▁the ▁cor p se .” ▁Ah , ▁but ▁hear ▁me ▁through . ▁Your ▁friend ▁Lord ▁Henry ▁W ott on ▁can ’

▁least ▁always ▁been ▁so , ▁till ▁I ▁met ▁Dorian ▁Gray . ▁Some body — I ▁won ’ t ▁mention ▁his ▁name , ▁but ▁you ▁know ▁him — c ame ▁to ▁me ▁last ▁year ▁to ▁have ▁his ▁port ra it ▁done . ▁I ▁want ▁to ▁see ▁him ▁at ▁once . ▁Or ▁would ▁you ▁like ▁h ock - and - sel t zer ? ▁“ W hen ▁are ▁you ▁coming ▁to ▁the ▁point ?” ▁cried ▁the ▁bar on ess , ▁sh iver ing ▁with ▁ang er ▁and ▁imp ati ence . ▁“ H as ▁your ▁resolution ▁changed , ▁Valentine ?” ▁What ▁can ▁it ▁not ▁do ▁when ▁it ▁is ▁proper ly ▁applied ; ▁and ▁what ▁might ▁it ▁do ▁when ▁base ly ▁used . ▁“ The ▁same ▁who ▁was ▁so ▁shame fully ▁assass

▁not ▁loc ked , ▁as ▁I ▁had ▁left ▁it . ▁“ No , ▁madame ,” ▁said ▁Villefort ; ▁“ in stru ctions ▁have ▁been ▁given ." ▁I ▁found ▁supp er ▁already ▁laid ▁out . ▁It ▁has ▁been ▁a ▁ch arm ing ▁evening , ▁and ▁we ▁must ▁end ▁it ▁ch arm ingly . ▁Then ▁he ▁thought ▁he ▁was ▁going ▁to ▁die . ▁Bes ides , ▁it ▁means ▁nothing ▁to ▁us . ▁F ancy , ▁Jim , ▁to ▁be ▁in ▁love ▁and ▁play ▁J ul iet ! ▁But ▁the ▁in stant ▁she ▁had ▁disappeared ▁he ▁pull ed ▁me , ▁suddenly ▁and ▁for c ibly , ▁into ▁the ▁d ining - room ▁and ▁closed ▁the ▁door . ▁“ St range ▁child ,” ▁murm ured ▁the ▁bar on ess . ▁She ▁led ▁him ▁to ▁his ▁own ▁c age , ▁never ▁ce asing ▁to ▁talk , ▁loc ked ▁the ▁door , ▁then ▁turned ▁and ▁walked ▁thought fully ▁toward ▁the ▁b ung al ow . ▁“ V al entine ,” ▁said ▁Morrel , ▁“ de ath ▁is ▁in ▁itself ▁sac red .” ▁It ▁was ▁the ▁str ang est ▁book ▁that ▁he ▁had ▁ever ▁read . ▁“ F ollow ▁me ,” ▁said ▁Morrel . ▁I ▁will ▁take ▁you ▁to ▁my ▁sister ; ▁she ▁is ▁also ▁worth y ▁of ▁being ▁yours . ▁‘ S ign

▁answered ▁his ▁mother ▁with ▁a ▁pl ac id ▁expression ▁in ▁her ▁face . ▁“ And ▁how ▁long ▁has ▁this ▁been ▁going ▁on ?” ▁At ▁times ▁I ▁held ▁the ▁belief ▁so ▁strongly ▁that , ▁I ▁actually ▁tried ▁to ▁take ▁human ▁life . ▁“ I ▁have ▁them ▁both ▁here , ▁of ▁a ▁certainty ; ▁and ▁they ▁are ▁both ▁here ▁for ▁their ▁mer its ; ▁that ▁is ▁enough .” ▁But ▁when ▁she ▁does ▁find ▁me ▁out , ▁she ▁makes ▁no ▁row ▁at ▁all . ▁It ’ ll ▁be ▁something ▁to ▁keep ▁off ▁the ▁dark ness ▁now ▁and ▁then . ▁God ▁is ▁wear ied ; ▁he ▁has ▁pun ished ▁you . ▁How ▁was ▁it ▁that ▁D ion ys ius ▁the ▁T y rant ▁became ▁a ▁school m aster ? ▁Albert ▁to t tered , ▁and ▁fell ▁over p owered ▁in ▁a ▁ch air . ▁People ▁fight ▁for ▁all ▁sorts ▁of ▁reasons , ▁you ▁know . ▁A ▁po et ▁I ▁know ▁might ▁have ▁cried ▁out ▁that ▁here ▁ended ▁his ▁quest ▁of ▁the ▁Gold en ▁Girl . ▁“ But ▁I ,” ▁cried ▁Morrel , ▁gro an ing ▁with ▁sorrow , ▁“ I ▁love ▁her !” ▁“ D -- n ▁me ▁ !” ▁cried ▁Stryver , ▁“ but ▁this ▁be ats ▁everything .” ▁The ▁young ▁man ’ s ▁imp l ac able ▁eyes ▁inter rog ated ▁Villefort , ▁who , ▁on ▁his ▁side , ▁gl anced ▁from ▁Noirtier ▁to ▁d ’ A v r ign y . ▁“ Oh , ▁heavens , ▁how ▁strange ly ▁he ▁express es ▁himself , ▁count !” ▁said ▁J ul ie . ▁You ▁shall ▁pass ▁it ▁by ▁twenty ▁f ath oms . ▁Her ▁part ed ▁lips ▁were ▁smiling ▁over ▁some ▁secret ▁of ▁their ▁own . ▁To - day ▁is ▁our ▁day , ▁and ▁we ▁must ▁go ▁sure , ▁if ▁slow , ▁and ▁lose ▁no ▁chance . ▁“ Come , ▁come , ▁that ▁is ▁not ▁bad !” ▁said ▁Luc i en . ▁They ▁are ▁very ▁pictures qu e , ▁but ▁do ▁not ▁look ▁prep oss ess ing . ▁You ▁possess ▁a ▁quality ▁which ▁can ▁never ▁belong ▁to ▁Mad em ois el le ▁Danglars . ▁Then ▁he ▁stood ▁up , ▁looked ▁into ▁the ▁key h ole , ▁ble w ▁into ▁it , ▁and ▁turning ▁to ▁his ▁employ ers , ▁made ▁some ▁remark . ▁Merc édès ▁drew ▁near , ▁and ▁pl uc ked ▁the ▁fruit . ▁Why , ▁if ▁my ▁information ▁prove ▁correct , ▁a ▁sort ▁of ▁B on ap art ist ▁conspir acy ▁has ▁just ▁been ▁discovered . ▁" I ▁call ▁myself ▁the ▁Sam son ▁of ▁the ▁fire w ood ▁gu ill ot ine ." ▁She ▁had ▁been ▁playing ▁R osal ind . ▁He ▁now ▁ste pped ▁up ▁to ▁where ▁Mr . ▁L orry ▁and ▁Mr . ▁Dar nay ▁stood ▁upon ▁the ▁p ave ment . ▁If ▁He ▁can ▁look ▁me ▁in ▁the ▁face ▁again , ▁I ▁may ▁not ▁have ▁time ▁to ▁act .... ▁As ▁for ▁the ▁sail ors ▁of ▁the ▁" P hara on ," ▁they ▁must ▁have ▁found ▁sn ug ▁b er th s ▁else where , ▁for ▁they ▁had ▁also ▁disappeared . ▁And ▁then , ▁again , ▁I ▁am ▁not ▁as ▁bra ve ▁and ▁courage ous ▁as ▁was ▁my ▁poor ▁brother . ▁“ I ▁know , ▁father , ▁you ▁are ▁the ▁most ▁hon or able ▁man ▁I ▁have ▁ever ▁known .” ▁The ▁Do ver ▁road ▁lay , ▁as ▁to ▁him , ▁beyond ▁the ▁Do ver ▁m ail , ▁as ▁it ▁l um bered ▁up ▁Sh oot er ’ s ▁H ill . ▁Be au ch amp ▁left ▁the ▁box , ▁perfect ly ▁amaz ed . ▁You ▁see , ▁it ▁is ▁you ▁who ▁have ▁first ▁named ▁her — you , ▁her ▁father . ▁She ▁compl ained ▁a ▁little ▁of ▁being ▁t ired , ▁and ▁I ▁let ▁her ▁rest ▁till ▁later ▁in ▁the ▁day . ▁When ▁the ▁invad er ▁was ▁tri um ph ant ▁he ▁found ▁but ▁little , ▁for ▁whatever ▁there ▁was ▁had ▁been ▁shel tered ▁in ▁the ▁friendly ▁so il . ▁They ▁are ▁ch arm ingly ▁art ific ial , ▁but ▁they ▁have ▁no ▁sense ▁of ▁art . ▁But ▁this ▁did ▁not ▁arise ▁from ▁a ▁want ▁of ▁affect ion ; ▁on ▁the ▁cont rary , ▁from ▁a ▁firm ▁conv ict ion . ▁We ▁must ▁explain ▁this ▁visit , ▁which ▁although ▁expected ▁by ▁Monte ▁Cristo , ▁is ▁un ex pected ▁to ▁our ▁read ers . ▁Let ▁us ▁rec all ▁the ▁exact ▁facts . ▁Yet ▁it ▁was ▁his ▁duty ▁to ▁conf ess , ▁to ▁suffer ▁public ▁shame , ▁and ▁to ▁make ▁public ▁at one ment . ▁We ▁have ▁lost ▁the ▁ab st ract ▁sense ▁of ▁beauty . ▁“ I ▁remember ▁a ▁certain ▁famous ▁occas ion ▁when ▁you ▁forced ▁me ▁to ▁conf ess ▁that ▁you ▁had ▁been ▁drinking .” ▁For ▁a ▁long ▁time ▁a ▁gun ▁had ▁been ▁the ▁young ▁man ’ s ▁greatest ▁amb ition . ▁I ▁am ▁cold , ▁I ▁am ▁hung ry . ▁“ M ost ▁ass ured ly ,” ▁respond ed ▁Madame ▁de ▁Villefort ▁in ▁the ▁same ▁tone . ▁“ G ive ▁me ▁what ▁you ▁give ▁the ▁others , ▁and ▁it ▁will ▁be ▁all ▁right ,” ▁returned ▁Dantès . ▁The ▁prisoners ▁were ▁far ▁from ▁ins ens ible ▁or ▁un fe el ing ; ▁their ▁ways ▁arose ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁condition ▁of ▁the ▁time . ▁“ F a ith , ▁I ▁should ▁require ▁pen , ▁in k , ▁and ▁paper ▁to ▁make ▁a ▁plan .” ▁“ You ▁who ▁love , ▁and ▁are ▁be lo ved ; ▁you , ▁who ▁have ▁faith ▁and ▁hope , — oh , ▁do ▁not ▁follow ▁my ▁example . ▁Once ▁more , ▁argument ative ▁host ility ▁w oke ▁within ▁me . ▁All ▁this ▁was ▁in ▁a ▁second . ▁H as ▁not ▁M . ▁Danglars ▁informed ▁you ▁of ▁the ▁ceremony ? ▁Here , ▁an ▁exc ited ▁woman ▁sc ree ched ▁from ▁the ▁c row d , ▁" You ▁were ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁best ▁pat ri ots ▁there ." ▁Bertuccio ▁remained ▁standing ▁before ▁him . ▁“ O ne ▁may ▁lose ▁one ’ s ▁way .” ▁As ▁he ▁stood ▁st aring ▁at ▁them , ▁they ▁asked ▁him ▁no ▁question , ▁for ▁his ▁face ▁told ▁them ▁everything . ▁“ I ▁cannot ▁speak ▁L atin ,” ▁respond ed ▁the ▁mar qu ise . ▁There ’ s ▁the ▁ro ll ▁of ▁them ▁dread ful ▁c art s ! ▁Of ▁course .” ▁“ ▁I ▁think ?” ▁returned ▁madame , ▁in ▁a ▁high ▁voice . ▁“ Well ,” ▁said ▁the ▁doctor , ▁after ▁a ▁moment ’ s ▁sil ence , ▁I ▁will ▁wait . ▁Her ▁cle ver ▁tongue ▁gets ▁on ▁one ’ s ▁n erv es . ▁When ▁it ▁was ▁seen ▁that ▁Danglars ▁sold , ▁the ▁Spanish ▁funds ▁fell ▁directly . ▁Bes ides , ▁his ▁present ing ▁you ▁the ▁cup ▁under ▁the ▁name ▁of ▁Lord ▁R uth ven -- ▁“ Oh ", ▁but ▁that ▁is ▁dread ful ! ▁A ▁cro oked ▁sm

▁capital .” ▁" The ▁time ▁and ▁place ▁are ▁but ▁ill - su ited ▁for ▁an ▁introduction ,” ▁said ▁Albert ; ▁“ but ▁we ▁are ▁not ▁super stit ious ." ▁" Well , ▁will ▁you ▁take ▁me , ▁or ▁shall ▁I ▁take ▁Ed ward ?" ▁“ No ; ▁they ▁were ▁going ▁to ▁mar ry ▁their ▁daughter ” ▁to ▁M . ▁Franz ▁d ’ É p in ay . ▁It ▁was ▁the ▁tw il ight ▁of ▁that ▁my ster ious ▁country ▁called ▁De ath ! ▁“ It ▁was ▁when ▁you ▁came ▁in .” ▁Wh om ▁Defarge ▁esc ort ed ▁to ▁the ▁top ▁of ▁the ▁st airs , ▁and , ▁leaving ▁seated ▁there , ▁returned . ▁He ▁said ▁the ▁latter ▁words ▁through ▁his ▁shut ▁teeth . ▁He ▁would ▁not ▁give ▁me ▁any ▁further ▁cl ue . ▁“ I ▁am ▁ready ▁to ▁answer ▁any ▁questions ▁your ▁excellency ▁may ▁address ▁to ▁me .” ▁He ▁was ▁an ▁e cc ent ric ▁being , ▁and ▁did ▁not ▁believe ▁in ▁the ▁exist ence ▁of ▁gr at itude ▁“ Oh , ▁make ▁yourself ▁easy ! — I ▁am ▁not ▁speaking ▁r idd les , ▁and ▁you ▁will ▁soon ▁know ▁what ▁I ▁mean ." ▁“ That ▁is ▁what ▁dece ives ▁you , ▁Debray .” ▁“ P r ince ▁Ch arm

▁committee ▁willing ▁to ▁hear ▁this ▁witness ?’ -- ‘ Yes , ▁yes ,’ ▁they ▁all ▁said ▁at ▁once . ▁Some ▁newly ▁capt ive ▁lion ▁or ▁tiger ▁was ▁kill ing ▁itself ▁from ▁mere ▁pass ion , ▁and ▁wouldn ' t ▁the ▁Mem - s ahib ▁come ▁at ▁once ▁and ▁talk ▁to ▁it ? ▁“ I ▁thought ,” ▁said ▁Franz ▁to ▁the ▁count , ▁“ that ▁you ▁told ▁me ▁there ▁would ▁be ▁but ▁one ▁execution .” ▁I ▁fear ▁to ▁think ▁of ▁her , ▁off ▁on ▁the ▁w old s ▁near ▁that ▁hor rid ▁place . ▁De ath ▁is ▁N ature ’ s ▁rem ed y ▁for ▁all ▁things , ▁and ▁why ▁not ▁Le g isl ation ’ s ? ▁He ▁remembered ▁with ▁what ▁call ous ness ▁he ▁had ▁watched ▁her . ▁O ld ▁Dantès , ▁who ▁was ▁only ▁sust ained ▁by ▁hope , ▁lost ▁all ▁hope ▁at ▁Nap ole on ’ s ▁down fall . ▁“ Is ▁there ▁something ▁you ▁want ▁to ▁tell ▁me ?” ▁asked ▁he . ▁" You ▁and ▁the ▁Dutch man ▁will ▁tell ▁me ▁what ▁to ▁do , ▁and ▁I ’ ll ▁do ▁it ." ▁The ▁mo on ▁hung ▁low ▁in ▁the ▁sk y ▁like ▁a ▁yellow ▁sk ull . ▁There ’ s ▁a ▁prov idence ▁that ▁wat ches ▁over ▁the ▁des erv

- qu ar ters ▁and ▁great ▁gather ing - place ▁of ▁Mon se ign e ur , ▁in ▁L ond on , ▁was ▁Tell son ’ s ▁Bank . ▁A ▁d ull ▁ra ge ▁was ▁in ▁his ▁heart . ▁“ It ▁is ▁she ,” ▁observed ▁her ▁husband . ▁I ▁had ▁seen ▁that ▁the ▁door ▁was ▁unl ocked , ▁and ▁now ▁escape ▁was ▁before ▁me . ▁“ C he er ▁up ,” ▁said ▁she ▁to ▁Noirtier . ▁" In ▁the ▁meant ime , ▁disp ose ▁of ▁my ▁co ach man , ▁my ▁car riage , ▁and ▁my ▁servants ." ▁Ah , ▁you ▁will ▁tell ▁all ▁I ▁have ▁said , ▁will ▁you ▁not , ▁re vere nd ▁sir . ▁I ▁don ’ t ▁know ▁what ▁made ▁me ▁say ▁it . ▁And ▁so ▁he ▁had ▁beg un ▁by ▁v iv is ect ing ▁himself , ▁as ▁he ▁had ▁ended ▁by ▁v iv is ect ing ▁others . ▁The ▁Prom ise ▁It ▁was ▁indeed ▁Maxim ilian ▁Morrel , ▁who ▁had ▁passed ▁a ▁w ret ched ▁exist ence ▁since ▁the ▁previous ▁day . ▁“ Well , ▁I ▁will ▁tell ▁you ▁what ▁I ▁did ▁not ▁like ▁to ▁mention ▁on ▁my ▁return ▁from ▁Y an ina .” ▁B apt ist in ▁opened ▁his ▁eyes ▁with ▁ast on ish ment . ▁As ▁if ▁the ▁G or gon ’ s ▁head ▁had ▁survey ed ▁it , ▁when ▁it ▁was ▁finished , ▁two ▁centuries ▁ago . ▁“ Well , ▁never ▁mind ▁how ▁it ▁is ,” ▁answered ▁Albert , ▁it ▁comes ▁to ▁the ▁same ▁thing ▁in ▁the ▁end . ▁“ Ah ,” ▁said ▁the ▁priest , ▁in ▁a ▁marked ▁It alian ▁acc ent ; ▁“ y es , ▁I ▁have ▁heard ▁that ▁death ▁is ▁in ▁that ▁house .” ▁By ▁strange ▁st ern ▁ways , ▁and ▁through ▁much ▁st aining ▁blood , ▁those ▁feet ▁had ▁come ▁to ▁meet ▁that ▁water . ▁“ Why ?” ▁said ▁G a etan o ▁with ▁a ▁sm ile . ▁I ▁shall ▁hear ▁from ▁you . ▁“ I mp ost or ,” ▁repeated ▁Villefort ; ▁certainly , ▁madame , ▁you ▁appear ▁to ▁ex ten u ate ▁some ▁cases ▁and ▁ex ag g erate ▁others . ▁Bertuccio ! ▁cried ▁he , ▁stri k ing ▁a ▁light ▁h amm er ▁with ▁a ▁pl iant ▁hand le ▁on ▁a ▁small ▁g ong . ▁“ I ▁conf ess ▁he ▁asked ▁me ▁none .” ▁She ▁kiss es ▁his ▁lips ; ▁he ▁kiss es ▁her s ; ▁they ▁so lem n ly ▁bless ▁each ▁other . ▁“ My ▁words ▁have ▁not ▁conv in ced ▁you ." ▁There ▁is ▁something ▁unf air ▁about ▁its ▁use . ▁“ Now , ▁Mr . ▁C r un cher ,” ▁said ▁Miss ▁Pro ss , ▁whose ▁eyes ▁were ▁red ▁with ▁f el ic ity ; ▁“ if ▁you ▁are ▁ready , ▁I ▁am .” ▁The ▁cat , ▁now ▁hot ▁with ▁the ▁l ust ▁to ▁kill , ▁th rew ▁himself ▁against ▁the ▁b ars , ▁sn ar ling ▁and

▁some body ▁v ind ic ating ▁a ▁difference ▁of ▁opinion ▁was ▁the ▁lik eli est ▁occur rence . ▁" Come ▁here ▁a ▁moment . ▁Mar tha , ▁that ▁will ▁be ▁all ," ▁with ▁a ▁nod ▁toward ▁the ▁door . ▁And ▁his ▁blood ▁ran ▁cold ▁in ▁his ▁ve ins . ▁“ Why ▁I ▁was ▁so ▁bad ▁to - night . ▁" But , ▁why ▁do ▁it ▁at ▁all ?" ▁“ It ▁is ▁no ▁doubt ▁the ▁same ,” ▁said ▁he . ▁Tell son ’ s ▁shall ▁not ▁be ▁imp osed ▁upon . ▁" I ▁think ▁I ▁came ▁just ▁in ▁the ▁n ick ▁of ▁time ." ▁To ▁the ▁sc aff old ▁with ▁the ▁poison er — to ▁the ▁sc aff old ! ▁Un p rep ared ▁as ▁he ▁was ▁for ▁the ▁large ▁pill ▁he ▁had ▁to ▁sw

▁is ▁worth ▁to ▁teach ▁you . ▁I ▁am ▁bound ▁to ▁state ▁that ▁she ▁ate ▁an ▁en orm ous ▁d in ner , ▁so ▁I ▁did ▁not ▁feel ▁any ▁anx i ety . ▁I ▁ap olog ize ▁to ▁you ▁both . ▁“ Our ▁compan ions ▁will ▁be ▁r iding - h orses , ▁dog s ▁to ▁h unt ▁with , ▁and ▁a ▁fishing - bo at .” ▁The ▁eyes ▁of ▁Noirtier ▁gl ist ened , ▁and ▁d ’ A v r ign y ▁appro ached . ▁“ And ▁where fore ▁were ▁you ▁called ▁away ▁just ▁now ?” ▁asked ▁Mad em ois el le ▁de ▁Saint - M é ran , ▁with ▁an ▁air ▁of ▁deep ▁interest . ▁“ I ▁show ▁him , ▁in ▁the ▁way ▁you ▁have ▁seen , ▁to ▁a ▁chosen ▁few .” ▁The ▁Professor ▁took ▁his ▁bag , ▁which ▁he ▁always ▁brings ▁with ▁him ▁now . ▁But ▁as ▁to ▁the ▁od our ▁itself , ▁how ▁shall ▁I ▁describe ▁it ? ▁Noirtier ▁looked ▁at ▁Valentine ▁with ▁an ▁expression ▁so ▁full ▁of ▁grief , ▁that ▁she ▁arrested ▁the ▁depart ure ▁of ▁the ▁not ary . ▁I ▁have ▁friends — g ood ▁friends — l ike ▁you , ▁Dr . ▁Se ward . ▁This ▁was ▁said ▁with ▁a ▁le er ▁of ▁in exp ress ible ▁c un ning . ▁The ▁meeting ▁after , ▁Merc édès ▁had ▁left ▁Monte ▁Cristo , ▁he ▁fell ▁into ▁prof ound ▁glo om . ▁The ▁ste ward ▁made ▁a ▁g est ure ▁that ▁sign ified , ▁“ I ▁do ▁not ▁know .” ▁“ Oh , ▁o h ,” ▁said ▁the ▁br ig ad ier , ▁who ▁th or ough ly ▁understood ▁the ▁t ric k ; ▁a ▁bad ▁sign ▁to ▁find ▁the ▁door ▁open ! ▁“ Oh , ▁you ▁will ▁give ▁me ▁five ▁minutes ’ ▁grace ,” ▁replied ▁Mor cer f , ▁“ for ▁I ▁also ▁expect ▁a ▁pres er ver .” ▁Lo o , ▁lo o , ▁lo o ; ▁Lo o , ▁lo o , ▁lo o ! ▁I ▁could ▁feel ▁that ▁the ▁rest ▁qu ivered , ▁as ▁I ▁did , ▁but ▁we ▁remained ▁other wise ▁still . ▁Do ▁you ▁call ▁the ▁whole ▁rec k on ing ? ▁said ▁Cart o . ▁“ I ▁am ▁sure ▁you ▁are ; ▁it ▁is ▁not ▁very ▁difficult ▁to ▁disc over ▁that .” ▁" I ▁will ▁call ▁Sal v ie ux ▁and ▁make ▁him ▁write ▁the ▁letter .” ▁But ▁still ▁I ▁don ’ t ▁think ▁I ▁would ▁go ▁to ▁Harry ▁if ▁I ▁were ▁in ▁trouble . ▁Noirtier ▁kept ▁his ▁eyes ▁st ead fast ly ▁fixed ▁on ▁the ▁same ▁spot . ▁“ D oes ▁the ▁count ▁know ▁what ▁answer ▁you ▁received ?” ▁With ▁a ▁sm ile ▁on ▁her ▁lips ▁she ▁st ared ▁at ▁the ▁living ▁model . ▁" I ▁want ▁no ▁more ▁words ." ▁“ I ▁never ▁once ▁dou b ted ▁your ▁doing ▁so .” ▁You ▁have ▁kept ▁a ▁di ary ▁of ▁all ▁these ▁strange ▁things ; ▁is ▁it ▁not ▁so ? ▁“ Ah ” , ▁cried ▁Monte ▁Cristo , ▁remember ing ▁the ▁abbé ’ s ▁two ▁h iding - pl aces . ▁I ▁am ▁too ▁ag it ated ▁to ▁sleep . ▁His ▁words ▁were ▁re - ech o ed ▁by ▁the ▁whole ▁party , ▁with ▁voc if er ous ▁che ers . ▁It ▁is ▁a ▁poor , ▁l ame ▁post - h orse . ▁There ▁were ▁be ads ▁of ▁pers pir ation ▁there . ▁“ Yes , ▁yes , ▁yes ,” ▁signed ▁the ▁par aly t ic , ▁cast ing ▁on ▁Valentine ▁a ▁look ▁of ▁joy ful ▁gr at itude ▁for ▁having ▁guess ed ▁his ▁meaning . ▁He ▁loved ▁it ▁and ▁h ated ▁it , ▁and ▁sometimes ▁fe ared ▁it , ▁he ▁who ▁had ▁fac ed ▁on ▁foot ▁many ▁a ▁wounded ▁tiger . ▁I ▁have ▁my ▁Le ave ▁to ▁Pass . ▁H as ▁the ▁law ▁ears ▁been ▁me l ted ▁by ▁your ▁sweet ▁voice ? ▁With ▁regard ▁to ▁patient , ▁R en field , ▁there ▁is ▁more ▁to ▁say . ▁The ▁same ▁Sy d ney , ▁with ▁the ▁same ▁l uck . ▁“ You ▁ins ist ▁on ▁knowing , ▁Basil ?” ▁he ▁asked ▁in ▁a ▁low ▁voice . ▁It ▁had ▁not ▁lasted ▁a ▁minute , ▁when ▁he ▁nod ded ▁and ▁went ▁out . ▁I ▁don ’ t ▁want ▁to ▁have ▁it ▁hung ▁up . ▁Albert ’ s ▁love ▁had ▁not ▁taken ▁away ▁his ▁app et ite . ▁“ D id ▁you ▁hear ?” ▁said ▁Madame ▁Danglars . ▁“ No ; ▁I ▁have ▁come ▁to ▁speak ▁to ▁you ▁of ▁a ▁very ▁serious ▁matter .” ▁These ▁words ▁carried ▁a ▁ray ▁of ▁hope ▁into ▁Fernand ’ s ▁heart . ▁He ▁must ▁be ▁de formed ▁somewhere ; ▁he ▁gives ▁a ▁strong ▁feeling ▁of ▁de form ity , ▁although ▁I ▁couldn ’ t ▁spec ify ▁the ▁point . ▁His ▁p ets ▁are ▁of ▁od d ▁sorts . ▁Her ▁compan ion ▁watched ▁her ▁en vious ly . ▁“ E x act ly ; ▁there ▁are ▁fif teen ▁of ▁them .” ▁Whether ▁it ▁was ▁a ▁daughter ▁who ▁would ▁grow ▁to ▁be ▁a ▁woman . ▁The ▁child ▁did ▁not ▁answer . ▁Is ▁there -- ▁tell ▁me ▁thou -- ▁is ▁there ▁no ▁other ▁place ▁to ▁write ▁such ▁words ▁in ? ▁Dorian , ▁you ▁will ▁come ▁with ▁me . ▁The ▁Sp y ▁returned ▁immediately , ▁with ▁two ▁men . ▁It ▁is ▁not ▁natural ▁that ▁a ▁man ▁like ▁you ▁should ▁possess ▁such ▁a ▁diam ond . ▁“ Yes ,” ▁he ▁continued , ▁" I ▁am ▁less ▁to ▁you ▁than ▁your ▁ iv ory ▁H erm es ▁or ▁your ▁silver ▁F aun ." ▁Morrel ▁disappeared ▁down ▁the ▁A venue ▁de ▁Mar ign y , ▁and ▁Monte ▁Cristo ▁has ten ed ▁to ▁join ▁Bertuccio . ▁This ▁answer , ▁and ▁especially ▁the ▁tone ▁in ▁which ▁it ▁was ▁ut tered , ▁ch illed ▁the ▁heart ▁of ▁poor ▁Morrel . ▁“ Oh , ▁yes ; ▁o h , ▁yes , ▁I ▁do ▁indeed ▁rep ent .” ▁“ I ▁have ▁already ▁told ▁you ▁it ▁was ▁impossible .” ▁I ▁am ▁Your ▁sl ave , ▁and ▁You ▁will ▁re ward ▁me , ▁for ▁I ▁shall ▁be ▁faith ful . ▁I ▁kiss ▁her ▁by ▁you . ▁P rison ▁had ▁made ▁Ed mond ▁pr ud ent , ▁and ▁he ▁was ▁des ir ous ▁of ▁running ▁no ▁risk ▁whatever . ▁" G irl s ," ▁he ▁called . ▁In ▁the ▁garden ▁sc ene , ▁it ▁had ▁all ▁the ▁tre m ulous ▁e c st asy ▁that ▁one ▁he ars ▁just ▁before ▁d aw n ▁when ▁night ing ales ▁are ▁sing ing . ▁" N ot ▁at ▁all ; ▁on ▁the ▁cont rary , ▁you ▁will ▁give ▁me ▁great ▁pleasure ." ▁“ I ▁went , ▁of ▁course , ▁to ▁the ▁chief ▁bank er ▁of ▁the ▁town ▁to ▁make ▁inqu ir ies ." ▁But ▁who ▁dro ve ▁him ▁to ▁it ? ▁“ What ▁is ▁the ▁matter , ▁sir ?” ▁asked ▁Monte ▁Cristo , ▁adv ancing ▁to ▁meet ▁the ▁comm ission er . ▁It ▁seemed ▁that ▁the ▁time ▁had ▁been ▁very ▁short ▁indeed , ▁but ▁there ▁was ▁Van ▁H els ing ▁back ▁in ▁the ▁study . ▁" That ▁is ▁a ▁great ▁advant age , ▁don ’ t ▁you ▁think ▁so , ▁Mr . ▁Gray ?” ▁“ You ▁per ceive ▁then ▁the ▁ut ter ▁imp oss ibility ▁of ▁esc ap ing ▁through ▁your ▁d un ge on ?” ▁There ▁was ▁a ▁kind ▁of ▁pity ▁in ▁her ▁heart ▁for ▁these ▁poor ▁wild ▁things , ▁and ▁perhaps ▁they ▁perceived ▁this ▁pity , ▁which ▁was ▁fear less . ▁But ▁in ▁England , ▁there ▁is ▁no ▁liter ary ▁public ▁for ▁anything ▁except ▁newspapers , ▁prim ers , ▁and ▁en cy cl op ed ias . ▁You ▁are ▁the ▁lo ver ▁of ▁our ▁dear ▁Miss . ▁He ▁went ▁on : ▁“ Now ▁you ▁shall ▁speak ." ▁“ Yes , ▁your ▁excellency ,” ▁said ▁the ▁captain , ▁" we ▁have ▁reached ▁it ." ▁“ It ▁is ▁such ▁a ▁b ore ▁putting ▁on ▁one ’ s ▁dress - cl ot hes ,” ▁mut tered ▁H all ward . ▁“ Do ▁not ▁think ▁I ▁wish ▁to ▁turn ▁you ▁out , ▁my ▁dear ▁Debray ,” ▁continued ▁Danglars ; ▁“ oh , ▁no , ▁not ▁at ▁all . ▁A ▁plot ▁in ▁the ▁pr isons , ▁of ▁the ▁foreign er ▁against ▁the ▁Republic . ▁I ▁put ▁my ▁question ▁quickly ▁and ▁some what ▁st ern ly , ▁on ▁purpose ▁to ▁discon c ert ▁him . ▁" J ust ▁now , ▁if ▁at ▁all !" ▁“ Have ▁you ▁read ▁the ▁Arab ian ▁N ights ?” ▁We ▁have ▁already ▁arr anged ▁what ▁to ▁do ▁in ▁case ▁we ▁get ▁the ▁box ▁open . ▁Yes , ▁but ▁to ▁be ▁captain ▁one ▁must ▁do ▁a ▁little ▁flat tery ▁to ▁one ’ s ▁pat r ons ▁“ S o ▁that ▁now ,” ▁continued ▁Caderousse , ▁“ he ▁own s ▁a ▁magn ific ent ▁house — No . ▁27, ▁R ue ▁d u ▁He lder , ▁Paris .” ▁" L ast ▁night , ▁after ▁we ▁left ▁you ." ▁He ▁would ▁seek ▁to ▁domin ate ▁him - had ▁already , ▁indeed , ▁half ▁done ▁so . ▁There ▁was ▁an ▁earth y ▁smell , ▁as ▁of ▁some ▁dry ▁m ias ma , ▁which ▁came ▁through ▁the ▁f ou ler ▁air . ▁Our ▁hope ▁now ▁is ▁in ▁knowing ▁all . ▁He ▁was ▁sh iver ing ▁with ▁a ▁kind ▁of ▁ag ue . ▁The ▁house - part y ▁cons isted ▁of ▁twelve ▁people , ▁and ▁there ▁were ▁more ▁expected ▁to ▁arri ve ▁on ▁the ▁next ▁day . ▁“ Let ▁me ▁get ▁you ▁some ▁or ch ids , ▁D uc hes s ,” ▁cried ▁Dorian , ▁starting ▁to ▁his ▁feet ▁and ▁walk ing ▁down ▁the ▁cons erv atory . ▁Luc ie ▁sat ▁by ▁her ▁father ; ▁Dar nay ▁sat ▁bes ide ▁her ; ▁Carton ▁le an ed ▁against ▁a ▁window . ▁All ▁I ▁want ▁now ▁is ▁to ▁look ▁at ▁life . ▁“ That ’ s ▁fr ank ▁any how ,” ▁broke ▁in ▁Qu ince y . ▁We ▁can ▁go ▁to ▁Br us sel s , ▁Li è ge , ▁A ix - la - Ch ap el le ; ▁then ▁up ▁the ▁Rhine ▁to ▁St ras bour g . ▁Your ▁bank - not es ▁had ▁a ▁must y ▁od our , ▁as ▁if ▁they ▁were ▁fast ▁dec om p osing ▁into ▁ra g s ▁again . ▁“ But ▁you ▁must ▁sw ear ▁so lem n ly ▁that ▁I ▁shall ▁never ▁have ▁reason ▁to ▁rep ent ▁my ▁recommendation ." ▁And ▁now , ▁my ▁dear ▁fellow , ▁I ▁want ▁to ▁speak ▁to ▁you ▁seriously . ▁Here , ▁one ▁should ▁never ▁make ▁one ’ s ▁d é but ▁with ▁a ▁sc andal . ▁“ I ▁would ▁speak ▁with ▁your ▁compan ions ▁who ▁are ▁in ▁the ▁gl ade ▁at ▁Ro cc a ▁B i anc a ". ▁“ A ll ▁remains ▁the ▁same , ▁then , ▁in ▁that ▁quarter ?” ▁Come ▁to ▁the ▁club ▁with ▁Basil ▁and ▁myself . ▁You ▁have ▁done ▁enough ▁evil ▁in ▁your ▁life . ▁Perhaps ▁those ▁prayers ▁may ▁so f ten ▁the ▁rem orse ▁he ▁feel s ▁in ▁his ▁heart . ▁“ And ▁do ▁you ▁know ▁this ▁gentlem an , ▁m onsieur ?” ▁inquired ▁Em man uel . ▁Mar se ill es ▁res ounded ▁with ▁their ▁well - ear ned ▁pra ises . ▁You ▁know ▁po isons ▁become ▁rem ed ies ▁in ▁certain ▁diseases , ▁of ▁which ▁par alysis ▁is ▁one . ▁“ You ▁are ▁a ▁little ▁late , ▁Mem ory ,” ▁said ▁Stryver . ▁“ And ▁how ▁have ▁I ▁broken ▁that ▁treat y , ▁your ▁excellency ?” ▁That ▁is ▁the ▁reason ▁why ▁I ▁want ▁you ▁to ▁be ▁fine . ▁And ▁I ▁have ▁come ▁at ▁once ▁to ▁see ▁you . ▁And ▁as ▁he ▁had ▁now ▁finished ▁his ▁operation , ▁he ▁adjusted ▁the ▁pill ow ▁to ▁the ▁patient ’ s ▁head . ▁A ▁moment ▁later , ▁Madame ▁de ▁Villefort ▁entered ▁the ▁drawing - room ▁with ▁her ▁little ▁Ed ward . ▁This ▁was ▁Albert ’ s ▁favor ite ▁l ou ng ing ▁place . ▁He ▁almost ▁dread ed ▁his ▁val et ▁leaving ▁the ▁room . ▁How ▁could ▁I ▁ad m ire ▁her ? ▁His ▁strong er ▁nature ▁seems ▁to ▁have ▁worked ▁in ward ly ▁against ▁himself . ▁On ▁her ▁temples ▁there ▁were ▁little ▁d au bs ▁of ▁cl ay , ▁caused ▁doubt less ▁by ▁imp ati ent ▁fing ers ▁swe eping ▁back ▁occas ional ▁wind ▁blow n ▁loc ks ▁of ▁hair . ▁“ Yes , ▁m onsieur , ▁I ▁believe ▁so ; ▁for ▁until ▁now , ▁no ▁man ▁has ▁found ▁himself ▁in ▁a ▁position ▁similar ▁to ▁mine ." ▁I ▁actually ▁love ▁no ▁one , ▁sir ; ▁you ▁know ▁it , ▁do ▁you ▁not ? ▁I ▁thought ▁I ▁would ▁watch ▁for ▁the ▁Count ’ s ▁return , ▁and ▁for ▁a ▁long ▁time ▁sat ▁do gg ed ly ▁at ▁the ▁window . ▁" G ood ness ▁gra cious !" ▁cried ▁Winnie , ▁reaching ▁out ▁her ▁hand . ▁“ And , ▁indeed , ▁indeed , ▁sir ,” ▁said ▁Arth ur ▁warm ly , ▁“ I ▁shall ▁in ▁all ▁ways ▁trust ▁you ." ▁This ▁fab ulous ▁event ▁formed , ▁but ▁a ▁link ▁in ▁a ▁long ▁ch ain ▁of ▁mar vel s . ▁“ I ▁told ▁you , ▁my ▁dear ▁mother , ▁he ▁was ▁est e em ed ▁such .” ▁I ▁cannot ▁sy mp ath ize ▁with ▁that . ▁We ▁shall ▁to - night ▁play ▁s ane ▁w its ▁against ▁mad ▁ones . ▁Don ’ t ▁try ▁to ▁influence ▁him . ▁“ M . ▁Morrel ▁has ▁always ▁been ▁exceeding ly ▁kind ▁to ▁me ,” ▁replied ▁Dantès . ▁“ It ▁is ▁not ▁to ▁be ▁called ▁am i ability , ▁it ▁is ▁her ▁duty ; ▁a ▁sl ave ▁does ▁not ▁dict ate ▁to ▁a ▁master .” ▁“ And ▁from ▁whose ▁hands ▁the ▁count ▁ext ric ated ▁me ▁in ▁so ▁wonderful ▁a ▁manner ?” ▁I ▁want ▁you ▁to ▁get ▁rid ▁of ▁the ▁dread ful ▁people ▁you ▁associ ate ▁with . ▁This ▁order ▁to ▁heat ▁the ▁ir ons ▁made ▁Dantès ▁sh udd er . ▁As ▁I ▁sat ▁I ▁heard ▁a ▁sound ▁in ▁the ▁cour ty ard ▁the ▁ag on ised ▁cry ▁of ▁a ▁woman . ▁Now ▁that ▁you ▁are ▁willing ▁to ▁understand , ▁you ▁have ▁taken ▁the ▁first ▁step ▁to ▁understand . ▁He ▁will ▁not ▁be ▁missed ▁for ▁months . ▁“ I ▁do ▁not ▁think ▁that ▁such ▁is ▁his ▁int ention ,” ▁said ▁Morrel . ▁I ▁had ▁written ▁asking ▁him ▁if ▁he ▁had ▁heard , ▁and ▁he ▁said ▁the ▁enclosed ▁had ▁just ▁been ▁received . ▁He ▁h ated ▁the ▁dog ▁with ▁a ▁hat red ▁not ▁un m ixed ▁with ▁fear . ▁She ▁presented ▁herself ▁to ▁me ▁as ▁the ▁wife ▁of ▁the ▁Mar qu is ▁St . ▁Ev r é mond e . ▁That ▁night ▁the ▁ad vent ure ▁at ▁A ute u il ▁was ▁tal ked ▁of ▁everywhere . ▁“ Ah , ▁your ▁p ard on ,” ▁said ▁Dantès , ▁f row ning ▁in ▁his ▁turn ; ▁“ I ▁did ▁not ▁per ceive ▁that ▁there ▁were ▁three ▁of ▁us .” ▁I ▁may ▁take ▁it , ▁sir , ▁that ▁you ▁are ▁anx ious ▁of ▁result . ▁She ▁is ▁quite ▁dev ot ed ▁to ▁you . ▁He ▁could ▁walk ▁up ▁and ▁down , ▁free ▁from ▁dist ract ing ▁f ancies , ▁pray ing ▁for ▁himself ▁and ▁for ▁them . ▁There ▁can ▁be ▁no ▁hor ror ▁like ▁this ▁ever ▁any ▁more ; ▁and ▁he ▁gro an ed ▁in ▁spirit . ▁“ F rom ▁the ▁count !” ▁murm ured ▁the ▁two ▁young ▁people . ▁He ▁van ished ▁into ▁some ▁hole ▁or ▁window . ▁" I ▁didn ' t ▁think ," ▁she ▁so bb ed . ▁“ He ▁is ▁old , ▁covered ▁with ▁w ounds , ▁and ▁suff ers ▁dread fully , ▁he ▁says , ▁in ▁travelling .” ▁The ▁count ▁laid ▁his ▁hand ▁on ▁Franz ’ s ▁should er . ▁The ▁heat ▁was ▁ter rib ly ▁opp ressive , ▁and ▁the ▁huge ▁sun light ▁fl amed ▁like ▁a ▁mon st rou s ▁d ah l ia ▁with ▁pet als ▁of ▁yellow ▁fire . ▁Mr . ▁H aw kins ▁has ▁died ▁very ▁suddenly . ▁“ But ▁you ▁may ▁use ▁it ,” ▁replied ▁Lord ▁Wil more ; ▁“ I ▁understand ▁it .” ▁At ▁the ▁outer ▁door ▁the ▁ste ward ▁pa used . ▁Valentine ▁stretched ▁out ▁her ▁hand , ▁but ▁sc ar ce ly ▁had ▁she ▁tou ched ▁the ▁gl ass ▁when ▁she ▁drew ▁back ▁in ▁fear . ▁" No ▁one ▁can ▁say ▁that ▁M . ▁Noirtier ▁did ▁not ▁love ▁his ▁child , ▁and ▁yet ▁he ▁sleep s ." ▁Had ▁I ▁ten ▁Y an in as ▁in ▁my ▁family , ▁I ▁should ▁only ▁consider ▁myself ▁the ▁more ▁bound ▁to ▁fight ▁ten ▁times . ▁“ Come ,” ▁I ▁said ▁st ern ly , ▁" n o ▁more ▁of ▁this ; ▁we ▁have ▁had ▁quite ▁enough ▁already ." ▁“ Ah !” ▁said ▁Carton , ▁with ▁a ▁care less ▁wave ▁of ▁his ▁hand , ▁as ▁if ▁he ▁w av ed ▁that ▁away . ▁I ▁wonder , ▁Mas el ', ▁who ’ d ▁be ▁bot hered ▁tell in ’ ▁lies ▁to ▁them — e ven ▁the ▁newspapers , ▁which ▁are ▁full ▁of ▁fool ▁talk . ▁It ▁is ▁all ▁the ▁same . ▁He ▁lit ▁a ▁c ig are t te ▁and ▁then ▁th rew ▁it ▁away . ▁The ▁light ▁and ▁warm th ▁and ▁the ▁Count ’ s ▁cour te ous ▁welcome ▁seemed ▁to ▁have ▁dis s ip ated ▁all ▁my ▁dou b ts ▁and ▁fear s . ▁But ▁now ▁the ▁ten ▁minutes ▁drew ▁to ▁an ▁end . ▁That ▁a ▁bur nt ▁child ▁loves ▁the ▁fire . ▁She ▁was ▁by ▁then , ▁when ▁they ▁told ▁us , ▁well ▁out ▁to ▁sea . ▁The ▁latter ▁took ▁in ▁the ▁whole ▁sc ene ▁at ▁a ▁gl ance . ▁When ▁we ▁met ▁together , ▁the ▁first ▁thing ▁was ▁to ▁consult ▁as ▁to ▁taking ▁Min a ▁again ▁into ▁our ▁confidence . ▁I ▁could ▁not ▁see ▁a ▁key ▁any where , ▁but ▁the ▁he ap ▁of ▁gold ▁remained . ▁“ E ach ▁of ▁us ▁has ▁heaven ▁and ▁he ll ▁in ▁him , ▁Basil ,” ▁cried ▁Dorian ▁with ▁a ▁wild ▁g est ure ▁of ▁desp air ." ▁We ▁found ▁both ▁places — s ix ▁boxes ▁in ▁each — and ▁we ▁destroyed ▁them ▁all ! ▁" A re ▁you ▁sure ▁you ▁are ▁more ▁reason able ?” ▁“ Come ,” ▁said ▁Madame ▁Danglars , ▁" le ave ▁music ▁and ▁comp lim ents , ▁and ▁let ▁us ▁go ▁and ▁take ▁tea ." ▁" I ▁cannot ▁end ure ▁the ▁modern ▁school ▁of ▁pain ting ." ▁W ould ▁there ▁ever ▁be ▁some ▁one ▁who ▁would ▁fill ▁him ▁with ▁a ▁strange ▁id ol at ry ? ▁But ▁what ▁does ▁he ▁see ▁in ▁me ? ▁“ It ▁is ▁the ▁decl ar ation ▁of ▁C ard inal ▁Sp ada , ▁and ▁the ▁will ▁so ▁long ▁sought ▁for ,” ▁replied ▁Ed mond , ▁still ▁incred ulous . ▁Perhaps ▁he ▁might ▁ref use ▁to ▁come . ▁Franz ▁and ▁the ▁count ▁went ▁down st airs , ▁accomp an ied ▁by ▁Pe pp ino . ▁Look , ▁Fernand , ▁your ▁eyes ▁are ▁better ▁than ▁mine . ▁“ You ▁know ▁this ▁chief , ▁then ?” ▁“ T hen ▁why , ▁instead ▁of ▁t ack ing ▁so ▁frequently , ▁do ▁you ▁not ▁sail ▁ne arer ▁the ▁wind ?” ▁Dr . ▁Van ▁H els ing , ▁you ▁try ▁me ▁too ▁far . ▁I ▁have ▁already ▁successfully ▁conducted ▁several ▁public ▁pro sec utions , ▁and ▁brought ▁the ▁offe nd ers ▁to ▁mer ited ▁punishment . ▁I ▁would ▁not ▁arg ue ▁the ▁point , ▁but ▁went ▁and ▁had ▁my ▁supp er . ▁“ L ar bo ard ▁your ▁hel m ,” ▁cried ▁the ▁captain ▁to ▁the ▁ste ers man . ▁“ You ▁don ’ t ▁hear ▁much ▁about ▁them ▁now ?” ▁said ▁the ▁sp y . ▁Luc ie ▁had , ▁by ▁that ▁time , ▁fall en ▁into ▁a ▁stup or ▁on ▁the ▁floor ▁at ▁his ▁feet , ▁cl ing ing ▁to ▁his ▁hand . ▁“ Well , ▁like ▁all ▁Paris , ▁I ▁shall ▁be ▁there ▁too ,” ▁said ▁the ▁count . ▁" I ▁only , ▁as ▁you ▁see , ▁have ▁remained ▁poor , ▁w ret ched , ▁and ▁forgotten ." ▁“ No ,” ▁she ▁said ▁quite ▁simply , ▁it ▁will ▁not ▁be ▁necessary . ▁“ You ▁can ▁d ine ▁with ▁me ▁to - night , ▁Dorian , ▁can ’ t ▁you ?” ▁She ▁was ▁always ▁a ▁hero ine . ▁God al m ing ▁is ▁an ▁am ate ur ▁fit ter ▁himself , ▁and ▁evidently ▁it ▁was ▁he ▁who ▁put ▁the ▁laun ch ▁in ▁tr im ▁again . ▁I ▁never ▁dou b ted ▁until ▁within ▁this ▁hour ▁or ▁two , ▁that ▁he ▁had , ▁or ▁could ▁have ▁such ▁a ▁paper . ▁He ▁turned , ▁and ▁A li ▁pointed ▁to ▁the ▁window ▁of ▁the ▁room ▁in ▁which ▁they ▁were , ▁facing ▁the ▁street . ▁" Why , ▁the ▁same ▁thing ▁we ▁had ▁intended ▁to ▁do ▁three ▁days ▁ago — set ▁off ." ▁I ▁wish ▁you ▁could ▁come ▁to ▁the ▁the at re ▁to - night . ▁Therefore , ▁if ▁you ▁part ▁with ▁M . ▁B apt ist in , ▁give ▁me ▁the ▁ref usal ▁of ▁him .” ▁Or ▁the ▁desire ▁for ▁a ▁new ▁sens ation , ▁as ▁Lord ▁Henry ▁had ▁h inted , ▁with ▁his ▁m ock ing ▁laugh ? ▁I ▁heard ▁him ▁say :-- ▁“ I ▁am ▁here ▁to ▁do ▁Your ▁b idd ing , ▁Master ." ▁“ What ’ s ▁he ▁got ▁to ▁do ▁with ▁the ▁case ?” ▁asked ▁the ▁man ▁he ▁had ▁spoken ▁with . ▁“ H app y ▁to ▁say , ▁I ▁never ▁knew ▁him .” ▁“ They ▁are ▁all ▁the ▁same ▁price .” ▁St ra ight ▁she ▁stood ▁at ▁this ▁moment , ▁love ly ▁of ▁face , ▁round ed ▁of ▁form , ▁with ▁an ▁ind es crib able ▁suggest ion ▁of ▁lat ent ▁physical ▁power ▁or ▁magn et ism . ▁" And ▁again , ▁God ▁bless ▁you ." ▁His ▁ears ▁went ▁flat ▁against ▁his ▁head , ▁but ▁he ▁submitted ▁to ▁her ▁touch ▁because ▁inv ari ably ▁it ▁so ot hed ▁him , ▁and ▁because ▁he ▁sens ed ▁some ▁und e f in able ▁power ▁when ever ▁his ▁gaz e ▁met ▁her s . ▁However , ▁they ▁were ▁as ▁sil ent ▁as ▁the ▁men . ▁" This ▁boy ▁is ▁getting ▁too ▁much ▁for ▁me !” ▁said ▁Mr . ▁C r un cher , ▁survey ing ▁him . ▁“ T en ▁minutes ▁past ▁two , ▁sir ,” ▁answered ▁the ▁man , ▁looking ▁at ▁the ▁cl ock ▁and ▁bl ink ing . ▁Give ▁him ▁a ▁less on , ▁Debray . ▁If ▁one ▁he ars ▁bad ▁music , ▁it ▁is ▁one ’ s ▁duty ▁to ▁d rown ▁it ▁in ▁conversation .” ▁Man ’ s ▁whole ▁life ▁pass es ▁in ▁doing ▁these ▁things , ▁and ▁his ▁int el lect ▁is ▁ex ha usted ▁by ▁reflect ing ▁on ▁them . ▁He ▁had ▁taken ▁it ▁up , ▁and ▁was ▁st o op ing ▁to ▁work ▁again , ▁when ▁his ▁eyes ▁c aught ▁the ▁sk irt ▁of ▁her ▁dress . ▁“ My ▁political ▁opin ions !” ▁replied ▁Dantès . ▁Of ▁course ▁it ▁may ▁not ▁be ▁either ▁the ▁Se reth ▁or ▁the ▁Pr uth , ▁but ▁we ▁may ▁possibly ▁investigate ▁further . ▁“ B e ▁satisfied ; ▁I ▁will ▁den y ▁it .” ▁I ▁shall ▁die ▁of ▁it ; ▁o h , ▁yes , ▁I ▁shall ▁certainly ▁die ▁of ▁it ! ▁And ▁the ▁Greek ▁princess , ▁will ▁she ▁be ▁here ? ▁“ As ▁if ▁it ▁was ▁not ▁a ▁favour ▁to ▁be ▁protected ▁from ▁the ▁l amp - ir on !” ▁“ He ▁remained ▁there ▁four teen ▁years , ▁Morrel ,” ▁said ▁the ▁count , ▁pl ac ing ▁his ▁hand ▁on ▁the ▁young ▁man ’ s ▁should er . ▁It ▁f ills ▁one ▁with ▁the ▁terror ▁of ▁e tern ity . ▁Keep ▁your ▁horrible ▁secre ts ▁to ▁yourself . ▁“ If ▁you ▁arri ve ▁safely ▁at ▁home , ▁what ▁have ▁I ▁to ▁fear , ▁except ▁from ▁you ?” ▁“ St r anger ▁things ▁than ▁that ▁will ▁happen ▁when ▁it ▁does ▁come ,” ▁answered ▁madame . ▁So ▁as ▁we ▁all ▁took ▁hands ▁our ▁so lem n ▁comp act ▁was ▁made . ▁“ Do ▁not ▁al arm ▁yourself , ▁my ▁dear ▁Maxim ilian — the y ▁understand .” ▁You ▁speak ▁collected ly ▁and ▁you ▁are ▁collected . ▁What ▁I ▁ought ▁to ▁have ▁done , ▁and ▁what ▁everyone ▁would ▁have ▁done ▁in ▁my ▁place . ▁Ah ! ▁but ▁what ▁do ▁you ▁mean ▁by ▁good ? ▁cried ▁Basil ▁H all war ▁C it iz en ▁G abel le ▁was ▁called ▁to ▁confirm ▁it , ▁and ▁did ▁so . ▁V enge ance ▁and ▁ret ribution ▁require ▁a ▁long ▁time ; ▁it ▁is ▁the ▁rule . ▁Jack , ▁if ▁you ▁may ▁tell ▁me ▁without ▁bet ray ing ▁confidence , ▁Arth ur ▁was ▁the ▁first , ▁is ▁not ▁that ▁so ?” ▁The ▁living - room ▁of ▁the ▁b ung al ow ▁was ▁large ▁and ▁comfort able . ▁“ H as ▁she ▁made ▁a ▁fort une ▁also ?” ▁inquired ▁the ▁abbé , ▁with ▁an ▁iron ical ▁sm ile . ▁" Now ▁to ▁the ▁work ▁I ▁have ▁in ▁hand .” ▁" In ▁the ▁future , ▁we ▁will ▁be ▁able ▁to ▁ease ▁his ▁bond s ▁for ▁a ▁few ▁hours ▁each ▁day ." ▁Sh ould ▁he ▁demand ▁an ▁expl anation ▁from ▁the ▁band its , ▁or ▁should ▁he ▁wait ▁pati ently ▁for ▁them ▁to ▁prop ose ▁it ? ▁“ C om ing ▁up ▁the ▁hill , ▁and ▁at ▁the ▁top ▁of ▁the ▁hill , ▁both ?” ▁And ▁yet ▁their ▁natural ▁disp osition ▁revealed ▁itself . ▁“ Go ▁on , ▁my ▁child ,” ▁said ▁the ▁count ▁in ▁the ▁Rom a ic ▁language . ▁As ▁he ▁ran ▁he ▁began ▁to ▁his s ▁soft ly . ▁“ And ▁have ▁you ▁placed ▁the ▁letter ▁before ▁him , ▁as ▁I ▁ordered ▁you ▁to ▁do ?” ▁Ar nay , ▁unable ▁to ▁rest rain ▁himself ▁any ▁longer , ▁tou ched ▁Mr . ▁Stryver ▁on ▁the ▁should er ▁and ▁said , ▁“ I ▁know ▁the ▁fellow ." ▁Then ▁she ▁had ▁disapp ointed ▁him . ▁“ N or ▁I , ▁nor ▁I ,” ▁ch or used ▁the ▁sail ors . ▁" E very ▁day , ▁in ▁all ▁weather s , ▁from ▁two ▁to ▁four , ▁always ▁sign aling — s omet imes ▁with ▁the ▁little ▁one , ▁sometimes ▁without ." ▁No , ▁it ▁is ▁not ▁finished ; ▁I ▁feel ▁it ▁by ▁what ▁remains ▁in ▁my ▁heart . ▁The ▁dri ver ▁beat ▁at ▁them ▁with ▁his ▁wh ip . ▁“ The ▁usual ▁no ises ,” ▁Mr . ▁C r un cher ▁replied ; ▁and ▁looked ▁surprised ▁by ▁the ▁question ▁and ▁by ▁her ▁aspect . ▁A ▁slight ▁o sc ill ation ▁showed ▁Dantès ▁that ▁all ▁went ▁well . ▁With out ▁div ul ging ▁his ▁secret , ▁Dantès ▁could ▁not ▁give ▁sufficient ly ▁clear ▁instructions ▁to ▁an ▁agent . ▁“ Wh o ▁said ▁it ▁was ▁a ▁crime ?” ▁asked ▁Villefort , ▁with ▁a ▁last ▁effort . ▁But ▁I ▁can ’ t ▁be ▁severe ▁with ▁him ; ▁he ▁is ▁really ▁so ▁br ight . ▁There ▁was ▁no ▁fear ▁of ▁her ▁falling ▁as leep . ▁“ Well ?” ▁observed ▁the ▁English man ▁as ▁if ▁he ▁were ▁slow ▁of ▁comp rehens ion . ▁Morrel ▁sh udd ered ; ▁he ▁thought ▁he ▁heard ▁a ▁so b . ▁There , ▁indeed , ▁was ▁a ▁woman ▁with ▁dis he ve lled ▁hair , ▁hold ing ▁her ▁hands ▁over ▁her ▁heart ▁as ▁one ▁dist ressed ▁with ▁running . ▁He ▁was ▁known ▁from ▁Hamb urg ▁to ▁Singapore , ▁from ▁M omb ass a ▁to ▁R io ▁J ane i ro . ▁Come , ▁sit ▁down , ▁and ▁tell ▁us ▁all ▁about ▁this ▁Sign or ▁V amp a .” ▁Your ▁fishing - ro d ▁gets ▁ray ther

▁Caderousse , ▁f ix ing ▁his ▁ha gg ard ▁gaz e ▁on ▁the ▁count . ▁He ▁is ▁the ▁wor st ▁one ▁that ▁comes ▁here . ▁" And ▁you ▁are ▁the ▁better ▁for ▁it ." ▁Then ▁he ▁bit ▁his ▁l ip . ▁“ You ▁have ▁killed ▁my ▁love ,” ▁he ▁mut tered . ▁“ A l as ,” ▁said ▁Andre a , ▁s igh ing , ▁“ one ▁cannot ▁be ▁completely ▁happy ▁in ▁this ▁world !” ▁He ▁passed ▁over ▁my ▁head , ▁and ▁I ▁heard ▁the ▁floor ing ▁cre ak ▁b ene ath ▁his ▁foot step s . ▁With ▁such ▁blood ▁as ▁he ▁has ▁in ▁his ▁ve ins , ▁how ▁could ▁his ▁record ▁be ▁clean ? ▁He ▁got ▁up ▁and ▁loc ked ▁both ▁doors . ▁She ▁who ▁is ▁usual ▁so ▁al

onsieur ▁Defarge . ▁And ▁that ▁is ▁what ▁is ▁so ▁terrible . ▁" I ▁will ▁tell ▁them ▁to ▁send ▁her ▁to ▁you ." ▁“ N ever ▁mind ,” ▁replied ▁Villefort ; ▁“ I ▁say ▁that ▁this ▁marriage ▁shall ▁be ▁consum m ated .” ▁The ▁count ▁was ▁ere ct ▁and ▁tri um ph ant , ▁like ▁the ▁Av eng ing ▁Angel ! ▁“ My ▁master ▁will ▁go ▁to ▁d in ner .” ▁" You ▁must ▁come ▁and ▁see ▁my ▁doctor ▁when ▁we ▁get ▁back ▁to ▁town ." ▁He ▁did ▁not ▁remain ▁long , ▁but ▁said ▁he ▁would ▁look ▁in ▁later ▁in ▁the ▁day ▁and ▁see ▁Lord ▁God al m ing . ▁“ That ’ s ▁a ▁Bl az ing ▁strange ▁answer , ▁too ,” ▁said ▁he , ▁at ▁his ▁h o ars est . ▁Albert ▁was ▁drawing ▁on ▁the ▁sat in ▁p ant al oon ▁over ▁his ▁black ▁trou s ers ▁and ▁var n ished ▁bo ots . ▁St ill ▁this ▁extraordinary ▁sil ence ▁appeared ▁strange ▁to ▁him , ▁and ▁he ▁called ▁a ▁second ▁and ▁third ▁time ; ▁still ▁no ▁answer . ▁“ And ▁you ▁think ▁him ▁cap able ▁of ▁being ▁exact ?” ▁demand ed ▁Debray . ▁“ The ▁pro of s , ▁the ▁pro of s !” ▁said ▁the ▁president ; ▁“ rem ember ▁this ▁t iss ue ▁of ▁hor r ors ▁must ▁be ▁supported ▁by ▁the ▁cle arest ▁pro of s .” ▁Wh ilst ▁that ▁last s , ▁there ▁can ▁be ▁no ▁dis bel ief . ▁" B ring ▁here ▁immediately ▁the ▁king ’ s ▁att orney , ▁M . ▁de ▁Villefort , ▁who ▁lives ▁in ▁the ▁F au bour g ▁Saint - H on or é ." ▁“ Well !” ▁said ▁that ▁good - n at ured ▁em iss ary , ▁after ▁a ▁full ▁half - h our ▁of ▁bo

▁place ▁in ▁less ▁than ▁three ▁months ,” ▁said ▁Villefort . ▁" S he ▁was ▁very , ▁very ▁dear ▁to ▁me ." ▁“ What ▁is ▁the ▁matter ?” ▁asked ▁Monte ▁Cristo . ▁“ You ▁got ▁in ▁very ▁well .” ▁You ▁are ▁a ▁fool , ▁M . ▁B apt ist in . ▁He ▁means ▁you ▁no ▁good . ▁I ▁must ▁be ▁firm , ▁for ▁on ▁me ▁this ▁particular ▁burden ▁of ▁sil ence ▁must ▁rest . ▁“ B ecause ▁you ▁have ▁not ▁yet ▁invited ▁me .” ▁Saint ▁Ant o ine ▁sle pt , ▁the ▁Def ar ges ▁sle pt : ▁even ▁The ▁V enge ance ▁sle pt ▁with ▁her ▁st ar ved ▁gro cer , ▁and ▁the ▁dr um ▁was ▁at ▁rest . ▁“ D id ▁you ▁doubt ▁it , ▁my ▁dear ▁M onsieur ▁B art

▁down ▁to ▁the ▁water ’ s ▁ed ge , ▁and ▁below ▁them ▁was ▁a ▁boat ▁flo ating ▁on ▁the ▁t ide . ▁Qu ick , ▁quick ! ▁tell ▁me ▁what ▁I ▁must ▁do ▁this ▁time ; ▁are ▁there ▁any ▁f resh ▁instructions ? ▁Had ▁Morrel ▁even ▁any ▁sus pic ions , ▁so ▁much ▁kind ness ▁would ▁have ▁dis pe lled ▁them . ▁Once ▁or ▁twice ▁he ▁thought ▁of ▁going ▁away . ▁If ▁I ▁might ▁em bra ce ▁him ▁once ! ▁“ A l ways ▁glad ▁to ▁have ▁a ▁rest , ▁Mr . ▁Gray ,” ▁answered ▁the ▁frame - m aker ▁who ▁was ▁still ▁gas ping ▁for ▁breath . ▁“ And ▁he ▁is ▁made ▁a ▁member ▁of ▁the ▁Ac ad em y ▁of ▁Sc i ences ▁for ▁this ?” ▁You ▁fill ▁me ▁with ▁app rehens ion . ▁It ▁was ▁certainly ▁a ▁sur prise ▁to ▁me , ▁and ▁gave ▁me ▁a ▁consider able ▁sh ock , ▁but ▁Van ▁H els ing ▁was ▁un m o ved . ▁" W hen ▁they ▁make ▁up ▁their ▁led

▁about ▁a ▁gr ant ▁to ▁a ▁railway . ▁Dantès ▁seized ▁the ▁hand les , ▁and ▁stro ve ▁to ▁lif t ▁the ▁coff er ; ▁it ▁was ▁impossible . ▁O ▁pity ▁us , ▁kind ▁He aven , ▁and ▁help ▁us ! ▁Jonathan ▁and ▁I ▁have ▁been ▁working ▁day ▁and ▁night ▁since ▁Professor ▁Van ▁H els ing ▁saw ▁us . ▁" V an ity , ▁van ity , ▁all ▁is ▁van ity ," ▁said ▁the ▁colon el , ▁smiling ▁down ▁into ▁their ▁ch arm ing ▁faces . ▁It ▁had ▁been ▁res olved ▁the ▁night ▁before ▁to ▁change ▁their ▁enc amp ment . ▁He ▁would ▁never ▁again ▁tem pt ▁in n oc ence . ▁D in ner - time , ▁and ▁still ▁no ▁H und red s ▁of ▁people . ▁“ What

you ▁will ▁see ▁him ▁return ▁to ▁you ▁g ay , ▁smiling , ▁and ▁joy ful .” ▁But ▁tell ▁me ▁all ▁about ▁it ? ▁Sign or ▁L u ig i , ▁continued ▁Albert , ▁“ is ▁there ▁any ▁form ality ▁to ▁fulf il ▁before ▁I ▁take ▁leave ▁of ▁your ▁excellency ?” ▁Dantès ▁w aited ▁only ▁to ▁get ▁breath , ▁and ▁then ▁div ed , ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁avoid ▁being ▁seen . ▁Up on ▁my ▁soul , ▁these ▁women ▁would ▁p u zz le ▁the ▁very ▁Dev il ▁to ▁read ▁them ▁ar ight . ▁And ▁he ▁passed ▁the ▁paper ▁to ▁the ▁officer ▁command ing ▁the ▁car b ine ers , ▁who ▁read ▁and ▁returned ▁it ▁to ▁him . ▁Every ▁moment ▁that ▁pass es ▁takes ▁something ▁from ▁me ▁and ▁gives ▁something ▁to ▁it . ▁Cl ose ▁at ▁hand , ▁the ▁how ling ▁of ▁many ▁w ol ves ▁could ▁be ▁heard ▁“ M ad ame , ▁I ▁never ▁eat ▁Mus c ate l ▁gra p es ,” ▁replied ▁Monte ▁Cristo , ▁as ▁if ▁the ▁subject ▁had ▁not ▁been ▁mentioned ▁before . ▁There ▁are ▁such ▁be ings ▁as ▁v amp ires ; ▁some ▁of ▁us ▁have ▁evidence ▁that ▁they ▁exist . ▁“ But ▁consider ▁the ▁matter ▁seriously , ▁E ug é nie !” ▁“ S pe ak ▁for ▁yourself , ▁Mr . ▁L orry ,” ▁said ▁Stryver ; ▁“ I ▁have ▁a ▁night ’ s ▁work ▁to ▁do ▁yet ." ▁The ▁exp uls ion ▁took ▁place ▁and ▁I ▁p oc ket ed ▁600 ,000

▁And ▁the ▁young ▁man ▁went ▁to ▁the ▁g ang way . ▁What ▁if ▁it ▁should ▁be ▁st ol en ? ▁“ What ▁is ▁he ▁doing ▁up ▁there ?” ▁Al arm - b ell s ▁r ing ing , ▁dr ums ▁be ating , ▁the ▁sea ▁ra ging ▁and ▁thunder ing ▁on ▁its ▁new ▁be ach , ▁the ▁attack ▁began . ▁My ▁fear ▁fell ▁from ▁me ▁as ▁if ▁it ▁had ▁been ▁a ▁v ap orous ▁gar ment ▁which ▁dis s olved ▁in ▁the ▁warm th . ▁“ I ▁keep ▁it ▁in ▁this .” ▁“ O ne ▁thing ▁still ▁p u zz les ▁me ,” ▁observed ▁Dantès , ▁“ and ▁that ▁is ▁how ▁you ▁managed ▁to ▁do ▁all ▁this ▁by ▁day light ?” ▁Yes , ▁Basil ▁could ▁have ▁saved ▁him . ▁Have ▁you ▁been ▁slight

▁another ’ s .” ▁With ▁a ▁ste ady ▁gaz e , ▁he ▁a wa ited ▁conf ident ly ▁the ▁moment ▁for ▁admin ister ing ▁the ▁rest or ative . ▁“ I ▁am ▁quite ▁satisfied ▁with ▁my ▁own ▁name , ▁and ▁I ▁am ▁sure ▁Mr . ▁Gray ▁should ▁be ▁satisfied ▁with ▁his .” ▁Albert ▁appeared ▁not ▁to ▁notice ▁this ▁remark , ▁which ▁was , ▁however , ▁so ▁r ude ▁that ▁Madame ▁Danglars ▁bl ushed . ▁They ▁are ▁very ▁cle ver , ▁and ▁it ' s ▁a ▁great ▁comp lim ent ▁to ▁art . ▁We ▁have ▁now ▁to ▁deal ▁with ▁a ▁new ▁factor : ▁Mad am ▁Min a . ▁Well , ▁I ▁went ▁to ▁a ▁horse ▁deal er ’ s , ▁where ▁I ▁saw ▁this ▁magn ific ent ▁horse , ▁which ▁I ▁have ▁named ▁M éd é ah . ▁“ I ▁was ▁not ▁present ▁at ▁the ▁ceremony ; ▁but ▁my ▁opinion ▁is ▁you ▁were ,” ▁said ▁Carton . ▁What ▁I ▁saw ▁was ▁the ▁Count ’ s ▁head ▁coming ▁out ▁from ▁the ▁window . ▁“ Do ▁you ▁know ▁with ▁what ▁design ▁M . ▁de ▁Monte ▁Cristo ▁purchased ▁a ▁house ▁at ▁A ute u il ?” ▁Lord ▁Henry ▁had ▁told ▁him ▁that , ▁and ▁Lord ▁Henry ▁knew ▁what ▁women ▁were . ▁As ▁to ▁Van ▁H els ing , ▁he ▁was ▁employ ed ▁in ▁a ▁defin ite ▁way . ▁It ▁was ▁towards ▁this ▁k ios k ▁that ▁we ▁were ▁row ing . ▁Franz ▁was ▁about ▁to ▁r ing ▁for ▁Sign or ▁P ast r ini , ▁when ▁that ▁worth y ▁presented ▁himself . ▁“ B ring ▁me ▁hither ▁that ▁fellow !” ▁said ▁the ▁Mar qu is ▁to ▁the ▁cou ri er . ▁Are ▁we ▁not ▁going ▁too ▁slowly ? ▁How ▁perfect ly ▁h ide ous ▁they ▁are ! ▁“ P rep are ▁yourself , ▁Maxim ilian ,” ▁he ▁said ▁with ▁a ▁sm ile ; ▁“ we ▁leave ▁Paris ▁tomorrow .” ▁No , ▁fif teen ▁thousand ▁is ▁not ▁enough ; ▁I ▁cannot ▁again ▁become ▁an ▁honest ▁man ▁with ▁less ▁than ▁thirty ▁thousand ▁fr anc s . ▁“ Q u ite ▁finished ,” ▁said ▁the ▁pain ter . ▁“ Ah , ▁excellency , ▁you ▁cannot ▁imag ine ▁how ▁hard ▁it ▁is ▁to ▁re ar ▁f ow ls ▁in ▁these ▁horrible ▁c

▁did ▁not ▁look ▁towards ▁the ▁coff in . ▁There ’ s ▁the ▁cl ock , ▁an ’ ▁I ▁must ▁g ang . ▁“ Have ▁you ▁made ▁up ▁your ▁mind ▁when ▁you ▁shall ▁be ▁there ▁yourself ?” ▁You ▁are ▁one ▁of ▁her ▁favour

ined ▁Stryver , ▁nod d ing ▁his ▁head ▁in ▁a ▁sm o othing ▁and ▁final ▁way ; ▁" n o ▁matter , ▁no ▁matter ." ▁“ I ▁knew ▁that ,” ▁said ▁Monte ▁Cristo ; ▁“ s he ▁has ▁been ▁dead ▁these ▁ten ▁years .” ▁On ▁a ▁level ▁with ▁the ▁floor ▁“ Why ▁should ▁you ▁med d le ▁with ▁what ▁does ▁not ▁concern ▁you ?” ▁“ B ars ad ,” ▁said ▁another ▁voice , ▁stri k ing ▁in . ▁The ▁count ▁had ▁spoken ▁correctly . ▁“ D orian ▁Gray ▁is ▁my ▁de arest ▁friend ,” ▁he ▁said . ▁“ You ▁will ▁see ,” ▁said ▁the ▁man ▁proud ly ; ▁“ in ▁five ▁minutes ▁he ▁will ▁speak .” ▁The ▁house , ▁with ▁k it c hens ▁and ▁cell ars ▁below , ▁had ▁above ▁the ▁ground ▁floor , ▁two ▁stories ▁and ▁att ics . ▁“ Well , ▁m onsieur ,” ▁said ▁Bertuccio , ▁“ th is ▁man ▁with ▁the ▁spot less ▁rep ut ation — — ” ▁" Well ?" ▁It ▁all ▁tou ched ▁me , ▁and ▁up set ▁me ▁very ▁much . ▁It ▁was ▁an ▁ex qu is ite ▁day . ▁“ I ▁saw ▁Mr . H y de ▁go ▁in ▁by ▁the ▁old ▁dis sect ing ▁room , ▁P oo le ,” ▁he ▁said . ▁Or ▁shall ▁we ▁lunch ▁with ▁our ▁little ▁d uc hes s ? ▁They ▁went ▁up ▁slowly ▁and ▁soft ly . ▁“ Oh , ▁I ▁am ▁free — then ▁I ▁am ▁saved !” ▁Then - but ▁I ▁don ’ t ▁know ▁how ▁to ▁explain ▁it ▁to ▁you . ▁I ▁pray ▁so ; ▁but ▁if ▁it ▁be ▁needed , ▁then ▁he ▁shall ▁know ▁all . ▁“ Oh , ▁you ▁are ▁a ▁th or ough ▁dem ocr at ,” ▁said ▁Monte ▁Cristo , ▁smiling . ▁“ No , ▁no ,” ▁cried ▁Dantès ; ▁“ you ▁are ▁mist aken — you ▁will ▁not ▁die !" ▁“ I ▁had ,” ▁replied ▁the ▁count . ▁The ▁V enge ance , ▁also , ▁highly ▁approved . ▁" A re ▁you ▁all ▁here ?" ▁said ▁the ▁lawyer ▁pe ev ish ly . ▁" Let ▁us ▁go ▁and ▁sit ▁in ▁the ▁sh ade ,” ▁said ▁Lord ▁Henry . ▁In ▁the ▁midst ▁of ▁these ▁fl ut tering ▁thoughts , ▁the ▁esc ort ▁appeared , ▁took ▁her ▁in , ▁and ▁took ▁her ▁away . ▁Yes , ▁was ▁the ▁gr im ▁rep ly ▁of ▁M onsieur ▁Defarge . ▁“ U nder ▁what ▁law , ▁and ▁for ▁what ▁off ence ?” ▁There ▁was ▁no ▁reason ▁that ▁the ▁future ▁should ▁be ▁so ▁full ▁of ▁shame . ▁Merc édès ▁raised ▁herself ▁on ▁her ▁fever ish ▁arm . ▁I ▁he s it ated ▁long ▁before ▁I ▁put ▁this ▁theory ▁to ▁the ▁test ▁of ▁practice . ▁On ▁two ▁of ▁my ▁sh ir ts . ▁I ▁feel ▁that ▁I ▁have ▁but ▁a ▁few ▁minutes ; ▁and ▁then ▁I ▁must ▁go ▁back ▁to ▁death -- or ▁worse ! ▁" I ▁th ank ▁you ▁for ▁coming ." ▁“ D own ▁with ▁the ▁door , ▁P oo le !” ▁" What ▁is ▁there ▁more ?” ▁said ▁Debray , ▁who ▁had ▁not ▁failed ▁to ▁notice ▁the ▁ag itation ▁of ▁Madame ▁Dang l ar . ▁Don ’ t ▁forget ▁to ▁call ▁me ▁at ▁nine ▁to - m orrow .” ▁He ▁only ▁said : ▁“ You ▁shall ▁see ,” ▁and ▁again ▁f umb ling ▁in ▁his ▁bag , ▁took ▁out ▁a ▁t iny ▁f ret - s aw . ▁They ▁would ▁be ▁glad ▁to ▁see ▁me ▁dead , ▁but ▁they ▁would ▁not ▁like ▁themselves ▁to ▁die ▁with ▁me . ▁“ D ear ▁me !” ▁said ▁Mr . ▁L orry , ▁as ▁the ▁saf est ▁remark ▁he ▁could ▁think ▁of . ▁He ▁had ▁gre asy ▁r ing lets , ▁and ▁an ▁en orm ous ▁diam ond ▁bl az ed ▁in ▁the ▁cent re ▁of ▁a ▁so iled ▁sh irt . ▁Am id ▁the ▁cr ash ▁and ▁gl it ter ▁of ▁the ▁falling ▁gl ass , ▁he ▁t um bled ▁into ▁the ▁flag ged ▁area ▁below . ▁Well , ▁what ▁have ▁I ▁learned ▁since ? ▁“ What !” ▁excl aimed ▁Franz , ▁“ the ▁pe asant ▁girl ▁who ▁sn at ched ▁his ▁m oc o let to ▁from ▁h i ” ▁“ W as ▁a ▁lad ▁of ▁fif teen ,” ▁replied ▁Pe pp ino . ▁Before ▁going ▁to ▁bed ▁I ▁went ▁round ▁to ▁the ▁patient ’ s ▁room ▁and ▁looked ▁in ▁through ▁the ▁observation ▁tra p . ▁There ▁is ▁a ▁poison ▁which ▁dest ro ys ▁life ▁almost ▁without ▁leaving ▁any ▁per cept ible ▁tra ces . ▁“ J ek y ll ▁is ▁ill , ▁too ,” ▁observed ▁Ut ters on . ▁“ Is ▁it ▁possible ?” ▁bur st ▁sim ult ane ously ▁from ▁all ▁who ▁were ▁near ▁enough ▁to ▁the ▁mag istrate ▁to ▁hear ▁his ▁words . ▁With ▁him ▁they ▁will ▁be ▁gent le ▁and ▁do c ile ▁as ▁lamb s .” ▁No ▁soon er ▁did ▁he ▁face ▁her , ▁than ▁Miss ▁Pro ss ▁ut tered ▁a ▁scre am , ▁and ▁cl app ed ▁her ▁hands . ▁" Yes , ▁S ahib ," ▁answered ▁the ▁head ▁keeper . ▁" It ▁is ▁better ▁to ▁be ▁disapp ointed ▁and ▁wor ried ▁in ▁this ▁way ▁now ▁than ▁to ▁have ▁her ▁n erv es ▁broken ." ▁The ▁inv alid ’ s ▁eye ▁remained ▁fixed , ▁by ▁which ▁expression ▁he ▁intended ▁to ▁int imate ▁that ▁his ▁resolution ▁was ▁un al ter able . ▁‘ I ▁thought ▁you ▁were ▁at ▁S my r na .

▁the ▁following ▁number ▁pattern : ▁25, ▁27, ▁...., ▁...., ▁33, ▁35 ▁For ▁this ▁to ▁be ▁a ▁fair ▁game , ▁we ▁would ▁have ▁to ▁part ition ▁these ▁81 ▁outcomes ▁into ▁four ▁events , ▁all ▁with ▁the ▁same ▁number ▁of ▁outcomes . ▁How ▁much ▁money ▁is ▁in ▁her ▁pur se ? ▁That ▁can ▁be ▁turned ▁around : ▁50 ▁can ▁be ▁re w rit ten ▁as ▁5 \\\\\\\\ cdot ▁10, ▁and ▁10 =3 + 7, ▁so ▁50 ▁can ▁be ▁written ▁as ▁5 \\\\\\\\ cdot ( 3 + 7 ). ▁Finally , ▁let ' s ▁calculate ▁how ▁many ▁weeks ▁he ▁can ▁go ▁with ▁9 90 ▁cards , ▁t earing ▁90 ▁cards ▁per ▁week : ▁Since ▁3, ▁5, ▁and ▁7 ▁are ▁all ▁prime ▁numbers , ▁the ▁L CM ▁is ▁simply ▁their ▁product : ▁If ▁two ▁friends ▁share ▁them ▁equally , ▁how ▁many ▁pen cil s ▁will ▁each ▁get ? ▁Do ▁you ▁think ▁the ▁addition ▁game ▁is ▁a ▁fair ▁game ? ▁Additionally , ▁a ▁scale ▁drawing ▁of ▁the ▁roof ▁support ▁structure ▁connect s ▁the ▁language ▁with ▁a ▁visual . ▁In ▁the ▁last ▁chapter , ▁we ▁learned ▁many ▁relationships ▁among ▁angles ▁that ▁can ▁be ▁expressed ▁with ▁equations . ▁Because ▁the ▁lines ▁A O , ▁V O , ▁B O ▁are ▁all ▁radi i , ▁and ▁thus ▁of ▁the ▁same ▁lengths , ▁angles ▁with ▁the ▁same ▁letter ▁indeed ▁do ▁have ▁the ▁same ▁measure . ▁A ▁group ▁of ▁5 ▁friends ▁bought ▁3 ▁large ▁coconut ▁rot is . ▁The ▁purpose ▁of ▁this ▁particular ▁activity ▁is ▁to ▁start ▁thinking ▁about ▁what ▁kind ▁of ▁data ▁are ▁needed ▁to ▁res olve ▁a ▁problem ▁( in ▁this ▁case , ▁the ▁apparent ▁unf air ness ▁of ▁the ▁game ), ▁and ▁second arily , ▁to ▁illust rate ▁that ▁such ▁resolution ▁is ▁not ▁always ▁as ▁simple ▁as ▁it ▁origin ally ▁seems . ▁In ▁particular , ▁[ a , a ] ▁is ▁just ▁the ▁point ▁a . ▁" a ▁not ▁equal ▁b + c " ▁means ▁a ▁is ▁not ▁equal ▁to ▁b + c . ▁Ut ah ▁J az z ▁2013 -1 4 ▁Te am ▁R ost er : ▁He ight ▁of ▁Pl ay ers ▁in ▁inches ▁What ▁was ▁the

▁notice ▁that ▁the ▁move ▁from ▁one ▁stage ▁to ▁the ▁next ▁add s ▁one ▁St age ▁1 ▁side ▁length ▁to ▁each ▁side . ▁However , ▁she ▁had ▁to ▁cl imb ▁down ▁255 ▁steps ▁to ▁help ▁a ▁friend . ▁If ▁these ▁sets ▁have ▁the ▁same ▁number ▁of ▁outcomes , ▁then ▁it ▁is ▁a ▁fair ▁game . ▁So , ▁it ▁follows ▁that ▁if ▁the ▁measures ▁of ▁the ▁angles ▁x ▁and ▁y ▁are ▁equal , ▁then ▁the ▁lines ▁L ▁and ▁L ' ▁can ▁never ▁intersect . ▁We ▁can ▁only ▁conclud e ▁that ▁when ▁x ▁= ▁y , ▁E ( x , ▁y ) ▁= ▁2 √ x . ▁The ▁school ▁is ▁located ▁in ▁B land ing , ▁Ut ah ▁and ▁is ▁the ▁only ▁middle ▁school ▁in ▁the ▁district . ▁40 ▁liters ▁( from ▁A ) ▁+ ▁30 ▁liters ▁( from ▁B ) ▁- ▁20 ▁liters ▁( from ▁C ) ▁= ▁50 ▁liters . ▁Write ▁the ▁weight ▁of ▁the ▁par cel ▁in ▁grams . ▁When ▁a ▁tr in om ial ▁has ▁the ▁form ▁x ^2 ▁+ ▁ax ▁+ ▁b . ▁Two ▁rati os ▁a : b ▁and ▁c : d ▁are ▁equivalent ▁if ▁there ▁is ▁a ▁number ▁p ▁such ▁that ▁c = ap ▁and ▁d = b p . ▁He ▁keep s ▁them ▁in ▁two ▁equal ▁p iles . ▁After ▁a ▁while , ▁T ed ▁and ▁M ik ay o ▁get ▁bo red , ▁and ▁change ▁the ▁game . ▁Writ ing ▁mathematics ▁has ▁a ▁gram mar ▁of ▁its ▁own . ▁A ▁brief ▁review ▁is ▁found ▁in ▁Section ▁7 .3 a ▁home work . ▁The ▁following ▁example ▁gives ▁a ▁fl av or ▁of ▁the ▁progress ion ▁of ▁thinking . ▁There ▁are ▁45 ▁r amb ut ans . ▁E ra ▁kept ▁1 ▁sl ice ▁for ▁herself , ▁so ▁that ' s ▁3 ▁+ ▁1 ▁= ▁4 ▁slic es ▁accounted ▁for . ▁Because ▁approximately ▁40% ▁of ▁the ▁skittles ▁in ▁the ▁bag ▁are ▁red , ▁we ▁should ▁expect ▁to ▁average ▁a ▁draw ▁of ▁4 ▁skittles . ▁Div iding ▁by ▁zero ▁is ▁not ▁allowed ▁because ▁it ▁simply ▁doesn ' t ▁make ▁sense . ▁Pr ade ep a ▁Lib rary ▁has ▁24 58 ▁books ▁and ▁W id arsh ana ▁library ▁has ▁16 34 ▁books . ▁If ▁the ▁r ays ▁of ▁the ▁angles , ▁other ▁than ▁the ▁ray ▁containing ▁AB ▁intersect , ▁call ▁the ▁inter section ▁point ▁C , ▁then ▁ABC ▁is ▁a ▁triangle . ▁Given ▁two ▁lines ▁L ▁and ▁L ', ▁draw ▁a ▁third ▁line ▁L '' ▁that ▁intersect s ▁both ▁( see ▁Figure ▁25 ), ▁and ▁call ▁the ▁points ▁of ▁inter section ▁A ▁and ▁B . ▁Since ▁we ▁want ▁to ▁know ▁an ▁answer ▁in ▁miles ▁per ▁hour , ▁we ▁see ▁that ▁we ▁are ▁missing ▁some ▁information ▁here . ▁If ▁the ▁cost ▁of ▁the ▁food ▁was ▁$ 2 8. 50, ▁how ▁much ▁will ▁Luc ia ▁need ▁to ▁pay ? ▁Students ▁will ▁continue ▁to ▁practice ▁skills ▁manip ul ating ▁algebraic ▁expressions ▁and ▁equations ▁throughout ▁Ch ap ters ▁4 ▁and ▁5. ▁For ▁example , ▁decide ▁whether ▁the ▁words ▁in ▁a ▁chapter ▁of ▁a ▁seventh - gr ade ▁science ▁book ▁are ▁generally ▁longer ▁than ▁the ▁words ▁in ▁a ▁chapter ▁of ▁a ▁fourth - gr ade ▁science ▁book . ▁Finally , ▁if ▁an ▁expression ▁in ▁an ▁equation ▁is ▁replaced ▁by ▁an ▁equivalent ▁expression , ▁then ▁the ▁equations ▁are ▁equivalent . ▁What ▁is ▁the ▁total ▁distance ▁the ▁car ▁travel ed ▁for ▁the ▁whole ▁day ? ▁This ▁is ▁what ▁is ▁called ▁a ▁sim ulation : ▁a ▁par alle l ▁experiment ▁that ▁has ▁all ▁the ▁same ▁properties ▁as ▁the ▁coin ▁toss . ▁The ▁mean ▁is ▁an ▁important ▁stat istic ▁for ▁a ▁set ▁of ▁numer ical ▁data : ▁it ▁gives ▁some ▁sense ▁of ▁the ▁" cent er ▁" ▁of ▁the ▁data ▁set . ▁the ▁M A D ▁is ▁the ▁mean ▁of ▁this ▁new ▁set ▁of ▁numbers . ▁No ▁law ▁of ▁arithmetic ▁can ▁allow ▁that . ▁A ▁mango ▁costs ▁Rs . ▁15 . ▁A ▁game , ▁actually , ▁a ▁" s im ple ▁game ", ▁has ▁players ▁(2 ▁or ▁more ), ▁a ▁table au : ▁the ▁field ▁on ▁which ▁the ▁game ▁is ▁played , ▁mo ves : ▁the ▁set ▁of ▁actions ▁that ▁the ▁players ▁can ▁make ▁on ▁the ▁table au ▁and ▁finally ▁outcomes : ▁the ▁set ▁of ▁end ▁positions ▁on ▁the ▁table au . ▁1. ▁It ▁is ▁an ▁even ▁number ▁because ▁it ▁ends ▁in ▁0 . ▁What ▁number ▁comes

▁and ▁over ▁the ▁centuries ▁g amb l ers ▁placed ▁their ▁faith ▁( and ▁money ) ▁on ▁rules , ▁with ▁or ▁without ▁any ▁found ation , ▁had ▁become ▁f ol k l ore . ▁9 80 75 ▁books ▁were ▁sold ▁during ▁the ▁Colombo ▁book ▁exhibition . ▁Using ▁algebra , ▁we ▁find ▁the ▁solution ▁x = 4. ▁We ▁can ▁now ▁also ▁answer ▁the ▁question : ▁what ▁is ▁the ▁chance ▁of ▁ro lling ▁three ▁consec utive ▁th rees ? ▁Arrange ▁the ▁points ▁received ▁by ▁the ▁teams ▁from ▁smallest ▁to ▁largest . ▁The ▁message ▁here ▁is ▁simply , ▁unc over ing ▁bi ases ▁in ▁a ▁game ▁is ▁not ▁easy ; ▁one ▁must ▁choose ▁outcomes ▁and ▁assign ▁them ▁to ▁players ▁as ▁wins ▁according ▁to ▁the ▁given ▁rules . ▁This ▁section ▁build s ▁upon ▁what ▁students ▁learned ▁about ▁geomet ric ▁relationships ▁in ▁chapter ▁5 ▁and ▁in ▁earlier ▁gr ades . ▁Students ▁will ▁obs erve ▁that ▁the ▁the ▁condition ▁on ▁the ▁measures ▁of ▁the ▁angles ▁lead s ▁to ▁an ▁inter section ▁point ▁of ▁the ▁two ▁outside ▁r ays ▁of ▁the ▁angles . ▁Therefore , ▁the ▁principal ▁amount ▁( the ▁sum ) ▁is ▁Rs . ▁1000 . ▁Therefore , ▁44 ▁minutes ▁is ▁the ▁least ▁common ▁multiple ▁( L CM ) ▁of ▁2, ▁4, ▁and ▁T . ▁So , ▁if ▁we ▁use ▁16 ▁gallons ▁from ▁the ▁first ▁source ▁and ▁64 ▁gallons ▁from ▁the ▁second ▁source , ▁we ▁will ▁have ▁80 ▁gallons ▁of ▁cr ude ▁oil ▁that ▁is ▁65 % ▁hy dro c ar b ons . ▁What ▁will ▁be ▁the ▁price ▁of ▁the ▁coin ▁in ▁each ▁of ▁the ▁next ▁two ▁years ? ▁Figure ▁1: ▁T aking ▁the ▁opposite : ▁a - > - a ▁What ▁is ▁the ▁total ▁length ▁of ▁ rib b ons ▁that ▁the ▁students ▁have ▁to ▁bring ? ▁Write ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁students ▁in ▁words . ▁The

▁3 a ^2 x ^3 ▁+ ▁4 a ^3 ▁x ^2 ▁from ▁4 a ^3 ▁x ^2 ▁− ▁2 a ^2 ▁x ^3 ▁− ▁5 x ^ 4 ▁Now , ▁this ▁is ▁the ▁unique ▁triangle ▁satisf ying ▁the ▁given ▁conditions , ▁because ▁if ▁we ▁have ▁another ▁such ▁triangle ▁we ▁can ▁move ▁the ▁angle ▁to ▁the ▁angle ▁ABC , ▁and ▁the ▁side ▁of ▁length ▁a ▁is ▁either ▁on ▁the ▁ray ▁B A ▁or ▁the ▁ray ▁BC . ▁18 ▁( S und ay ) ▁- ▁16 ▁( S at urday ) ▁= ▁2 ▁more ▁g ol f ▁balls ▁on ▁Sunday . ▁L ength ▁= ▁total ▁area ▁/ ▁wid th ▁In ▁the ▁e lementary ▁gr ades , ▁student ▁have ▁learned ▁much ▁about ▁these ▁forms ▁and ▁their ▁properties , ▁in ▁terms ▁of ▁lengths , ▁angles ▁and ▁area . ▁So , ▁for ▁part ▁b , ▁in ▁making ▁the ▁determ ination ▁that ▁it ▁is ▁always ▁true , ▁we ▁look ▁to ▁explain ▁why ▁the ▁statement ▁is ▁true , ▁looking ▁for ▁statements ▁that ▁build ▁on ▁understanding ▁of ▁supplementary ▁angles ▁and ▁trans it ivity . ▁In ▁this ▁section , ▁students ▁build ▁on ▁proportional ▁relationships ▁as ▁developed ▁in ▁section ▁4 .1 ▁by ▁expl oring , ▁in ▁contexts , ▁represent ations ▁of ▁the ▁relationship ▁using ▁tables ▁and ▁graphs . ▁The ▁problem ▁spec ifies ▁" min utes " ▁to ▁be ▁the ▁independent ▁variable . ▁If ▁we ▁multiply ▁both ▁sides ▁of ▁equation ▁( 3) ▁by ▁4, ▁we ▁obtain ▁equation ▁(4 ). ▁You ▁might ▁have ▁arg ued , ▁" if ▁the ▁population ▁grew ▁by ▁13% ▁from ▁2000 ▁to ▁today , ▁that ▁means ▁that ▁the ▁2000 ▁population ▁was ▁13% ▁less ▁then ," ▁so ▁you ▁calculate ▁(1 -0 .1 3) x ▁18 ,000 =1 5, 66 0, ▁a ▁quite ▁different ▁figure , ▁and ▁the ▁wrong ▁one . ▁Thus , ▁4 ▁× ▁3, ▁read ▁4 ▁times ▁3, ▁indicates ▁that ▁the ▁number ▁3 ▁is ▁to ▁be ▁multip lied ▁by ▁4, ▁a ▁× ▁b , ▁read ▁a ▁times ▁b , ▁indicates ▁that ▁the ▁number ▁b ▁is ▁to ▁be ▁multip lied ▁by ▁the ▁number ▁a . ▁What ▁is ▁the ▁total ▁number ▁of ▁books ▁in ▁both ▁the ▁lib r aries ? ▁In ▁the ▁next ▁example , ▁we ▁expl ore ▁a ▁pattern , ▁look ▁for ▁structure ▁and ▁reinfor ce ▁the ▁understanding ▁of ▁" per imeter ." ▁From ▁c ▁we ▁know ▁that ▁there ▁are ▁11 ▁outcomes ▁with ▁at ▁least ▁one ▁three . ▁With ▁such ▁a ▁figure , ▁students ▁can ▁be ▁prom pt ed ▁to ▁use ▁the ▁triangle ▁sum ▁the ore m ▁to ▁fill ▁in ▁additional ▁angle ▁measures , ▁and ▁name ▁additional ▁p airs ▁of ▁supplementary ▁and ▁comp lementary ▁angles . ▁If ▁he ▁paid ▁with ▁a ▁20 ▁ru pee ▁note , ▁what ▁is ▁the ▁balance ▁that ▁he ▁would ▁get ? ▁In ▁Chapter ▁3 ▁students ▁learned ▁how ▁to ▁solve ▁one - step ▁and ▁simple ▁multi - step ▁equations ▁using ▁models . ▁To ▁find ▁40% ▁of ▁a ▁number , ▁you ▁multiply ▁the ▁number ▁by ▁0.4 0 ▁( since ▁40% ▁is ▁the ▁same ▁as ▁40 / 100 ▁or ▁0.4 0 ): ▁The ▁spread s he et ▁can ▁be ▁program ed ▁to ▁do ▁this ▁10,000 ▁times ▁in ▁just ▁a ▁few ▁seconds , ▁and ▁tab ulate ▁the ▁results . ▁Each ▁bot tle ▁is ▁count ed ▁as ▁an ▁individual ▁it em , ▁so ▁we ▁have ▁12 ▁individual ▁bottles . ▁2. ▁Then , ▁he ▁increased ▁his ▁speed ▁to ▁4 ▁laps ▁per ▁minute ▁for ▁the ▁next ▁3 ▁minutes : ▁Write ▁the ▁volume ▁of ▁coconut ▁oil ▁sold ▁in ▁mill ilit ers . ▁We ▁know ▁that ▁after ▁2 ▁years , ▁the ▁remaining ▁amount ▁in ▁USD ▁is ▁$ 9 00. ▁Students ▁may ▁want ▁to ▁try ▁to ▁figure ▁out ▁why . ▁To ▁decide ▁which ▁one ▁is ▁correct , ▁we ▁need ▁to ▁know ▁the ▁position ▁of ▁the ▁rectangle ▁in ▁the ▁coordinate ▁system . ▁And ▁proper ▁use ▁of ▁units ▁was ▁seen ▁to ▁be ▁essential ▁to ▁understanding ▁scaled ▁drawing . ▁What ▁is ▁the ▁total ▁amount ▁of ▁water ? ▁At ▁what ▁time ▁the ▁d rama ▁ended ? ▁A ▁circle ▁is ▁defined ▁as ▁all ▁points ▁of ▁equal ▁distance ▁to ▁a ▁center ▁point . ▁A ▁juice ▁bot tle ▁costs ▁Rs ▁7 5, ▁a ▁fish ▁b un ▁costs ▁Rs ▁6 0, ▁and ▁a ▁ch oc olate ▁costs ▁Rs ▁40 . ▁When ▁he ▁got ▁to ▁the ▁counter , ▁he ▁got ▁an ▁additional ▁10% ▁off , ▁but ▁also ▁had ▁to ▁pay ▁8 .75 % ▁sales ▁tax . ▁In ▁the ▁teacher ▁notes ▁a ▁recommendation ▁is ▁made ▁to ▁have ▁students ▁ask ▁every ▁t enth ▁student ▁who ▁comes ▁into ▁the ▁school . ▁Exp ress ▁in ▁percent ages ▁how ▁much ▁larger ▁the ▁US ▁is ▁than ▁Brazil ▁and ▁how ▁much ▁smaller ▁Brazil ▁is ▁than ▁the ▁US . ▁Here ▁is ▁another ▁interesting ▁fact ▁that ▁follows ▁from ▁the ▁basic ▁fact ▁about ▁the ▁sum ▁of ▁the ▁angles ▁of ▁a ▁triangle . ▁How ▁can ▁she ▁pay ▁for ▁the ▁dur iy an ? ▁With ▁the ▁rest ▁weeks , ▁she ▁ran ▁for ▁3 ▁weeks ▁each ▁month . ▁In ▁Grade ▁7 ▁attention ▁to ▁prec ision ▁in ▁making ▁statements ▁is ▁an ▁important ▁first ▁step ▁towards ▁building ▁argu ments . ▁The ▁P id ur uth al agala ▁mountain ▁is ▁2 ▁km ▁5 24 ▁m ▁high . ▁An ▁algebraic ▁fraction ▁is ▁the ▁indicated ▁quot ient ▁of ▁two ▁expressions , ▁written ▁in ▁the ▁form ▁d f ▁ra c ab . ▁We ▁know ▁that ▁R ▁is ▁at ▁most ▁11, ▁G ▁is ▁12, ▁and ▁B ▁is ▁unknown . ▁Activities ▁are ▁designed ▁to ▁help ▁students ▁move ▁from ▁experi ences ▁to ▁general ▁con ject ures ▁about ▁probability ▁and ▁number . ▁We ▁refer ▁to ▁the ▁table ▁of ▁formula e ▁above : ▁the ▁perimeter ▁of ▁the ▁tra pe z oid ▁is ▁given ▁by ▁the ▁formula . ▁Write ▁this ▁year ▁as ▁a ▁numeral . ▁In ▁fact , ▁D ave ' s ▁grand m other ▁own s ▁that ▁entire ▁block ▁( b et ween ▁100 ▁and ▁200 ▁East ▁and ▁200 ▁and ▁300 ▁North ). ▁Now , ▁if ▁we ▁took ▁an ▁even ▁larger ▁circle ▁on ▁the ▁same ▁gr id , ▁we ' d ▁get ▁a ▁better ▁approxim ation , ▁and ▁pres um ably ▁we ▁can ▁get ▁as ▁good ▁an ▁approxim ation ▁as ▁we ▁want ▁in ▁this ▁way . ▁Finally , ▁if ▁an ▁expression ▁in ▁an ▁equation ▁is ▁replaced ▁by ▁an ▁equivalent ▁expression , ▁then ▁the ▁equations ▁are ▁equivalent . ▁V ert ical ▁angles ▁have ▁equal ▁measure . ▁The ▁chance ▁of ▁getting ▁a ▁three ▁in ▁the ▁first ▁ro ll ▁is ▁1 ▁in ▁6 ▁( and ▁thus ▁a ▁probability ▁of ▁1/ 6 ). ▁An ▁understanding ▁of ▁ratio ▁is ▁essential ▁in ▁the ▁sc i ences ▁to ▁make ▁sense ▁of ▁speed , ▁ac cel eration , ▁d ensity , ▁surface ▁t ension , ▁elect ric ▁or ▁magn etic ▁field ▁strength , ▁and ▁strength ▁of ▁chem ical ▁solutions . ▁Keep ▁in ▁mind ▁that ▁this ▁is ▁very ▁conv inc ing ▁evidence , ▁but ▁does ▁not ▁explain ▁why ▁this ▁is ▁true . ▁When ▁5 70 ▁swe ets ▁are ▁divided ▁equally ▁among ▁four ▁classes , ▁how ▁many ▁swe ets ▁will ▁be ▁available ▁for ▁each ▁class ? ▁Since ▁AD ▁is ▁vertical ▁and ▁the ▁has hed ▁line ▁is ▁horizontal , ▁the ▁angle ▁AD B ▁is ▁comp lementary ▁to ▁the ▁22 ▁degrees ▁angle , ▁and ▁so ▁AD B = 90 -22 = 68 ▁degrees . ▁Cle ar ly , ▁the ▁outcomes ▁are ▁not ▁equally ▁likely : ▁a ▁1 ▁is ▁impossible , ▁and ▁a ▁2 ▁is ▁far ▁less ▁likely ▁than ▁a ▁7, ▁and ▁so ▁forth . ▁Pr ice ▁of ▁49

▁that ▁is ▁x < -3 . ▁Wh ich ▁class ▁read ▁the ▁greatest ▁number ▁of ▁books ? ▁However , ▁every ▁fourth ▁week ▁is ▁a ▁rest ▁week , ▁so ▁she ▁only ▁ran ▁for ▁3 ▁weeks ▁each ▁month . ▁What ▁is ▁the ▁total ▁length ▁of ▁the ▁ro pe ▁pieces ▁that ▁Pal itha ▁received ? ▁Write ▁P oo ja ' s ▁height ▁in ▁meters ▁and ▁centimeters . ▁The ▁height ▁of ▁Ad ams ▁Pe ak ▁is ▁2 k m ▁243 ▁m . ▁If ▁all ▁the ▁angles ▁in ▁Figure ▁24 ▁are ▁equal , ▁then ▁the ▁are ▁all ▁of ▁measure ▁90 degrees ; ▁that ▁is , ▁they ▁are ▁all ▁right ▁angles . ▁- ▁There ▁are ▁52 ▁weeks ▁in ▁a ▁year , ▁and ▁every ▁fourth ▁week ▁is ▁a ▁rest ▁week , ▁so ▁there ▁are ▁52 /4 ▁= ▁13 ▁rest ▁weeks . ▁So , ▁in ▁the ▁case ▁of ▁Maria ' s ▁sim ulation , ▁those ▁rati os ▁expressed ▁as ▁dec im als ▁are : ▁G as ▁m ile age ▁= ▁4 20 ▁miles ▁/ ▁12 ▁gallons ▁Students ▁used ▁168 ▁white ▁she ets ▁during ▁a ▁project . ▁Additionally , ▁in ▁Figure ▁2, ▁both ▁angles ▁A TD ▁and ▁C TB ▁are ▁supplementary ▁to ▁D TB , ▁therefore ▁they ▁also ▁are ▁equal . ▁Finally ▁there ▁is ▁a ▁rule ▁to ▁decide ▁who ▁is ▁the ▁win ner . ▁Then ▁we ▁substitute ▁in ▁48 .23 ▁for ▁and ▁get ▁P = 68 .9 0 . ▁How ▁many ▁cakes ▁did ▁she ▁b ake ▁in ▁9 ▁days ? ▁Cost ▁price ▁of ▁barley ▁= ▁15 ▁kg ▁* ▁Rs . ▁10 / kg ▁= ▁Rs . ▁150 ▁Three ▁books ▁are ▁put ▁in ▁a ▁gift ▁pack . ▁Now , ▁the ▁student ▁should ▁remember , ▁from ▁5 th ▁grade , ▁the ▁fact ▁that ▁for ▁an ▁is os ce les ▁triangle ▁( a ▁triangle ▁with ▁two ▁sides ▁equal ), ▁the ▁base ▁angles ▁are ▁equal . ▁Students ▁should ▁understand ▁that ▁conc l usions ▁drawn ▁from ▁random ▁samples ▁can ▁then ▁be ▁general ized ▁to ▁the ▁population ▁from ▁which ▁the ▁sample ▁was ▁appropri ately ▁selected . ▁Arrange ▁these ▁numbers ▁in ▁des ce nding ▁order . ▁If , ▁for ▁example , ▁it ▁is ▁required ▁to ▁add ▁m + n − p ▁to ▁a + b + c , ▁the ▁result ▁will ▁be ▁a + b + c + ( m + n − p ); ▁or , ▁remo ving ▁the ▁parent hesis ▁( § ▁37 ), ▁a ▁+ ▁b ▁+ ▁c ▁+ ▁m ▁+ ▁n ▁− ▁p . ▁But , ▁since ▁the ▁sum ▁of ▁the ▁measures ▁of ▁the ▁angles ▁of ▁a ▁triangle ▁is ▁180 degrees , so ▁we ▁have , ▁2 ( x + y ) = 18 0, ▁or ▁x + y = 90 ▁and ▁thus ▁AC B ▁has ▁measure ▁90 degrees . ▁To ▁answer ▁the ▁question , ▁" how ▁many ▁cups ▁of ▁water ▁makes ▁32 ▁o un ces ?", ▁we ▁write ▁x =3 2, ▁where ▁x ▁is ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁cups , ▁with ▁o un ces ▁as ▁the ▁unit . ▁To ▁calculate ▁the ▁mean , ▁or ▁the ▁average , ▁of ▁a ▁list ▁of ▁numbers , ▁add ▁all ▁the ▁numbers ▁and ▁divide ▁this ▁sum ▁by ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁values ▁in ▁the ▁list . ▁Write ▁the ▁two ▁numbers ▁that ▁start ▁the ▁following ▁number ▁pattern : ▁, ...., ...., ▁30 1, ▁31 1, ▁32 1 ▁How ▁many ▁wood ▁apples ▁are ▁left ? ▁We ▁have ▁for ▁positive ▁numbers ▁( § § ▁3 7, ▁38 ): ▁That ▁is , ▁a ▁parent hesis ▁preced ed ▁by ▁+ ▁may ▁be ▁removed ▁without ▁changing ▁the ▁sign ▁of ▁any

▁the ▁region ▁b ounded ▁by ▁the ▁circle ▁( to ▁which ▁we ▁sometimes ▁refer ▁as ▁the ▁dis k ▁b ounded ▁by ▁the ▁circle ). ▁The ▁mean ▁is ▁used ▁for ▁relatively ▁normal ▁data . ▁So , ▁they ▁were ▁left ▁with ▁46 ▁miles ▁to ▁drive ▁to ▁reach ▁the ▁conc ert . ▁If ▁this ▁pattern ▁contin ues , ▁how ▁many ▁students ▁will ▁join ▁on ▁days ▁5, ▁6 ▁and ▁7 ? ▁When ▁we ▁work ▁with ▁equations , ▁we ▁can ▁add ▁( or ▁subtract ) ▁the ▁same ▁number ▁to ▁both ▁sides ▁of ▁the ▁equation , ▁and ▁we ▁can ▁multiply ▁( or ▁divide ) ▁the ▁same ▁non z ero ▁number ▁to ▁both ▁sides ▁of ▁the ▁equation , ▁and ▁the ▁result ▁is ▁an ▁equivalent ▁equation . ▁From ▁the ▁problem , ▁we ▁know ▁that ▁40 ▁fish ▁were ▁t ag ged ▁and ▁released ▁back ▁into ▁the ▁po nd . ▁But , ▁this ▁is ▁the ▁reflection ▁of ▁D elt a ▁ABC ▁in ▁the ▁horizontal ▁ax is , ▁so ▁is ▁still ▁the ▁same ▁triangle ▁as ▁constru cted . ▁A ▁complete ▁probability ▁model ▁includes ▁a ▁sample ▁space ▁that ▁l ists ▁all ▁possible ▁outcomes , ▁together ▁with ▁the ▁probability ▁of ▁each ▁outcome . ▁To ▁divide ▁a ▁po lyn om ial ▁by ▁a ▁mon om ial , ▁therefore , ▁Div ide ▁each ▁term ▁of ▁the ▁divide nd ▁by ▁the ▁divis or , ▁and ▁add ▁the ▁part ial ▁quot ients . ▁We ▁multiply ▁both ▁sides ▁by ▁2 ▁and ▁divide ▁both ▁sides ▁by ▁11 ▁to ▁get ▁22 = 13 + b {1} , ▁to ▁find ▁b { 2} = 9. ▁K ody ' s ▁list ▁of ▁the ▁sample ▁space ▁for ▁the ▁toss ▁of ▁three ▁coins ▁is ▁written ▁as ▁Note ▁that ▁the ▁areas ▁are ▁in ▁the ▁ratio ▁1: 4 : 9 : 16 : 2 5. ▁Since ▁the ▁min us ▁sign ▁preced es ▁the ▁second ▁fraction , ▁in ▁remo ving ▁the ▁denominator , ▁the ▁+ ▁( under stood ) ▁before ▁x , ▁the ▁first ▁term ▁of ▁the ▁numer ator , ▁is ▁changed ▁to ▁− , ▁and ▁the ▁− ▁before ▁1, ▁the ▁second ▁term ▁of ▁the ▁numer ator , ▁is ▁changed ▁to ▁+ . ▁In ▁Chapter ▁6, ▁students ▁will ▁rev is it ▁ideas ▁in ▁this ▁chapter ▁to ▁extend ▁to ▁more ▁complicated ▁contexts ▁and ▁manip ulate ▁with ▁less ▁rel iance ▁on ▁conc re te ▁models . ▁What ▁number ▁comes ▁just ▁after ▁the ▁Roman ▁numeral ▁IX ? ▁He ▁sold ▁400 ▁of ▁it . ▁We ▁often ▁use ▁bar ▁graphs ▁for ▁comparing ▁categor ical ▁data ▁and ▁making ▁inf e rences ▁about ▁populations ▁from ▁the ▁graphs . ▁We ▁may , ▁therefore , ▁take ▁for ▁the ▁defin ition ▁of ▁division : ▁The ▁operation ▁by ▁which ▁when ▁the ▁product ▁and ▁one ▁factor ▁are ▁given , ▁the ▁other ▁factor ▁is ▁found . ▁A ▁common ▁multiple ▁of ▁two ▁or ▁more ▁integral ▁numbers ▁is ▁a ▁number ▁which ▁is ▁exactly ▁divis ible ▁by ▁each , ▁of ▁the ▁numbers . ▁First , ▁we ▁need ▁to ▁drop ▁the ▁highest ▁and ▁lowest ▁score s ▁from ▁the ▁judges . ▁One ▁possible ▁inst ance ▁would ▁be ▁a ▁class ▁of ▁28 ▁students ▁composed ▁of ▁16 ▁girls ▁and ▁12 ▁boys . ▁P ac o ▁had ▁7 ▁sweet ▁cookies ▁left ▁after ▁eating ▁15 ▁sweet ▁cookies . ▁Therefore , ▁a ▁tr in om ial ▁is ▁a ▁perfect ▁square , ▁if ▁its ▁first ▁and ▁last ▁terms ▁are ▁perfect ▁squ ares ▁and ▁positive , ▁and ▁its ▁middle ▁term ▁is ▁twice ▁the ▁product ▁of ▁their ▁square ▁roots . ▁Therefore , ▁using ▁50 ▁lit res ▁of ▁dies el ▁and ▁an ▁800 ▁c c ▁engine , ▁the ▁distance ▁that ▁can ▁be ▁travel ed ▁is ▁6 ▁km . ▁The ▁l . c . m ▁of ▁A ▁and ▁B ▁can ▁also ▁be ▁expressed ▁as ▁the ▁product ▁of ▁the ▁h . c . f ▁and ▁the ▁product ▁of ▁the ▁co - pr ime ▁factors ▁m ▁and ▁n . ▁When ▁comparing ▁data ▁from ▁two ▁populations , ▁it ▁is ▁more ▁useful ▁to ▁use ▁percentage ▁data ▁( called ▁a ▁relative ▁frequ ency ▁graph ) ▁rather ▁than ▁the ▁ra w ▁data . ▁24 00 ▁words / h our ▁÷ ▁60 ▁minutes / h our ▁= ▁40 ▁words / minute ▁The ▁sample ▁space ▁is ▁now ▁the ▁set ▁of ▁all ▁outcomes ▁of ▁two ▁ro lls ▁of ▁the ▁die , ▁that ▁is ▁( a , ▁b ), ▁where ▁a ▁and ▁b ▁run ▁through ▁all ▁positive ▁integ ers ▁less ▁than ▁or ▁equal ▁to ▁6. ▁The ▁expression ▁− 2 y ▁+ ▁z ▁is ▁equivalent ▁to ▁− (2 y ▁+ ▁z ). ▁We ▁could ▁also ▁say ▁that ▁the ▁od ds ▁are ▁1: 3, ▁since ▁these ▁both ▁describe ▁the ▁same ▁ratio . ▁378 ▁students ▁from ▁the ▁Sang ab o ▁Vid yal aya ▁are ▁getting ▁ready ▁to ▁go ▁on ▁a ▁trip . ▁D raw ▁a ▁diam eter ▁in ▁the ▁circle , ▁lab el ing ▁the ▁endpoint s ▁A ▁and ▁B . ▁However , ▁the ▁statement ▁is ▁still ▁true ▁for ▁any ▁angle ▁with ▁ver te x ▁on ▁the ▁circle . ▁A ▁is ▁60 ▁years ▁old , ▁and ▁B ’ s ▁age ▁is ▁two - th ird s ▁of ▁A ’ s . ▁When ▁we ▁speak ▁of ▁" the ▁area ▁of ▁a ▁circle ," ▁we ▁are ▁refer ring ▁to ▁the ▁area ▁of ▁the ▁region ▁enclosed ▁by ▁the ▁circle . ▁This ▁means ▁he ▁used ▁13 ▁- ▁4 ▁= ▁9 ▁tickets ▁for ▁the ▁f er ris ▁wheel ▁ride . ▁The ▁goal ▁is ▁to ▁recognize ▁that ▁as ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁trials ▁increase , ▁the ▁exper im ental ▁probability ▁approaches ▁the ▁the ore tical ▁probability . ▁Total ▁amount ▁per ▁unit ▁= ▁Am ount ▁x ▁gets ▁+ ▁Am ount ▁y ▁gets ▁+ ▁Am ount ▁z ▁gets ▁Students ▁should ▁understand ▁that ▁conc l usions ▁drawn ▁from ▁random ▁samples ▁can ▁then ▁be ▁general ized ▁to ▁the ▁population ▁from ▁which ▁the ▁sample ▁was ▁appropri ately ▁selected . ▁So , ▁the ▁length ▁of ▁the ▁cub oid ▁is ▁10 .8 ▁cm . ▁I ▁ate ▁one ▁piece ▁of ▁each . ▁In ▁fact , ▁concent ration ▁on ▁the ▁relevant ▁units ▁in ▁a ▁problem ▁may ▁also ▁help ▁us ▁to ▁write ▁an ▁equation . ▁Therefore , ▁P iz za ▁B ▁is ▁bigger . ▁One ▁centim eter ▁in ▁the ▁model ▁will ▁represent ▁100 ▁centimeters ▁of ▁the ▁original . ▁Con vert ▁the ▁Roman ▁numeral ▁X VI I ▁to ▁Hindu – A rab ic ▁form . ▁As ha ▁dr ank ▁7 /10 ▁of ▁a ▁bot tle ▁of ▁juice . ▁This ▁is ▁not ▁a ▁grade ▁8 ▁c ore ▁top ic , ▁but ▁it ▁seems ▁to ▁fit ▁nat urally ▁and ▁easily ▁in ▁the ▁discussion ▁of ▁sections , ▁to ▁provide ▁an ▁added ▁int u ition ▁into ▁area ▁calculations . ▁So , ▁for ▁the ▁Greek ▁mathematic ians ▁of ▁that ▁day , ▁it ▁was ▁clear ▁that ▁the ▁statement ▁that ▁x = y ▁in ▁measure ▁is ▁the ▁same ▁as ▁the ▁statement ▁that ▁" the ▁lines ▁L ▁and ▁L ' ▁never ▁meet " - ▁and ▁it ▁was ▁also ▁clear ▁to ▁them ▁that ▁this ▁was ▁a ▁the ore tical , ▁not ▁an ▁actual , ▁observation . ▁After ▁exam ining ▁the ▁samples , ▁then ▁students ▁make ▁conc l usions ▁about ▁the ▁population . ▁The ▁numbers ▁of ▁students ▁studying ▁in ▁Tissa , ▁G aj ab a ▁and ▁Ma hes an ▁Vid yal ay as ▁are ▁31 5 6, ▁22 20 ▁and ▁14 58 ▁respectively . ▁In ▁the ▁circle ▁draw ▁a ▁diam eter , ▁lab el ing ▁the ▁endpoint s ▁A ▁and ▁B . ▁This ▁can ▁be ▁represented ▁by ▁an ▁x ▁algebra ▁t ile . ▁So , ▁she ▁dec ides ▁to ▁sim ulate ▁shooting ▁25 ▁free ▁th rows . ▁Now , ▁the ▁student ▁should ▁remember , ▁from ▁5 th ▁grade , ▁the ▁fact ▁that ▁for ▁an ▁is os ce les ▁triangle ▁( a ▁triangle ▁with ▁two ▁sides ▁equal ), ▁the ▁base ▁angles ▁are ▁equal . ▁In ▁addition , ▁students ▁will ▁use ▁concepts ▁involving ▁angles ▁to ▁rel ate ▁sc aling ▁of ▁triangles ▁and ▁circ les . ▁Use ▁computer ▁programs ▁to ▁make ▁scale ▁draw ings . ▁A ▁triangle ▁is ▁a ▁region ▁in ▁the ▁plane ▁enclosed ▁by ▁three ▁line ▁se gments . ▁If ▁M ark ▁plants ▁12 ▁more ▁trees , ▁he ▁will ▁have ▁13 ▁+ ▁12 ▁= ▁25 ▁trees . ▁Given ▁that ▁the ▁sum ▁of ▁the ▁angles ▁of ▁a ▁triangle ▁is ▁180 degrees , ▁we ▁find ▁the ▁measure ▁of ▁D B A : ▁The ▁process ▁is ▁the ▁same ▁as ▁in ▁Ar ithmetic . ▁To ▁solve ▁this , ▁we ▁need ▁to ▁identify ▁the ▁prime ▁numbers ▁that ▁are ▁either ▁od d ▁or ▁even . ▁This ▁possible ▁mistake ▁is ▁best ▁illust rated ▁by ▁a ▁simple ▁example . ▁J od i ▁has ▁walked ▁a ▁total ▁of ▁60 ▁miles ▁in ▁4 ▁weeks . ▁How ▁many ▁cups ▁are ▁there ▁in ▁5 ▁boxes ? ▁A ▁passenger ▁bought ▁a ▁tick et ▁to ▁travel ▁from ▁city ▁A ▁to ▁city ▁B . ▁A ▁library ▁has ▁15 65 ▁books . ▁Now ▁we ▁can ▁subtract ▁the ▁unique ▁shared ▁books : ▁In ▁the ▁second ▁week , ▁the ▁tree ▁s hed s ▁40% ▁of ▁the ▁remaining ▁leaves : ▁R oll ▁two ▁d ice ▁and ▁exam ine ▁the ▁top ▁faces . ▁The ▁F er ris ▁wheel ▁is ▁open ▁for ▁exactly ▁the ▁amount ▁of ▁time ▁needed ▁to ▁accommod ate ▁all ▁12 60 ▁people , ▁which ▁is ▁6 ▁hours . ▁If ▁we ▁move ▁triangle ▁( a ) ▁vert ically , ▁or ▁in ▁any ▁direction , ▁should ▁we ▁call ▁that ▁a ▁different ▁triangle ? ▁How ▁many ▁ke v ums ▁are ▁there ▁in ▁10 ▁pack ets ? ▁Rec all ▁that ▁multip lication ▁by ▁-1 ▁takes ▁any ▁point ▁on ▁the ▁line ▁to ▁the ▁point ▁on ▁the ▁other ▁side ▁of ▁0 ▁of ▁the ▁same ▁distance ▁from ▁0 . ▁There ▁are ▁36 ▁such ▁p airs , ▁and ▁only ▁one ▁is ▁( 3, 3 ). ▁In ▁other ▁words , ▁for ▁a > 0 ▁and ▁n > 0, ▁n a ▁is ▁the ▁endpoint ▁of ▁the ▁interval ▁starting ▁from ▁0 ▁and ▁moving ▁to ▁the ▁right ▁a ▁distance ▁of ▁n ▁lengths ▁of ▁size ▁a , ▁and ▁( - n ) a ▁is ▁the ▁endpoint ▁of ▁the ▁interval . ▁So , ▁his ▁after - t ax ▁income ▁is ▁43 250 ▁- ▁76 98 .5 ▁= ▁35, ▁55 1 .50 . ▁So ▁the ▁final ▁answer ▁is ▁840 . ▁This ▁tells ▁us ▁that ▁this ▁process ▁will ▁never ▁end . ▁If ▁the ▁simple ▁events ▁do ▁not ▁influence ▁each ▁other , ▁they ▁are ▁called ▁independent ▁events . ▁Rep et itions ▁of ▁the ▁unit ▁are ▁expressed ▁by ▁numbers . ▁The ▁pen cil ▁is ▁Rs .1 4. ▁How ▁much ▁juice ▁remains ▁in ▁the ▁j ug ? ▁Write ▁the ▁volume ▁of ▁the ▁bot tle ▁in ▁liters ▁and ▁mill ilit ers . ▁However , ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁come ▁to ▁apprec iate ▁the ▁value ▁of ▁algebra , ▁students ▁need ▁to ▁enc oun ter ▁problems ▁that ▁are ▁not ▁easily ▁sol v able ▁using ▁arithmetic ▁calculations . ▁Arrange ▁the ▁population ▁s izes ▁from ▁smallest ▁to ▁largest . ▁So , ▁the ▁prime ▁numbers ▁between ▁29 ▁/ ▁3 ▁and ▁87 ▁/ ▁6 ▁are ▁11 ▁and ▁13. ▁3. ▁But ▁now , ▁if ▁that ▁person ▁leaves ▁the ▁room , ▁the ▁population ▁decre ases ▁by ▁25% ▁because ▁3 =3 /4 ▁of ▁4, ▁or ▁1 -1 /4 ▁of ▁To ▁obtain ▁the ▁data ▁sets , ▁Mr . ▁Sp en cer ▁used ▁the

▁because ▁we ▁are ▁interested ▁in ▁how ▁the ▁figures ▁are ▁numer ically ▁related , ▁and ▁whether ▁the ▁measure ▁of ▁the ▁sides ▁is ▁in ▁feet , ▁yards ▁or ▁kil omet ers ▁is ▁not ▁of ▁interest . ▁We ▁are ▁given ▁that ▁the ▁total ▁number ▁of ▁wheels ▁is ▁70 ▁and ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁4 ▁wheel ers ▁is ▁17. ▁How ▁many ▁Rs .1 00 ▁notes ▁will ▁he ▁receive ? ▁Here ▁are ▁some ▁more ▁facts ▁about ▁constru ct

▁Therefore ▁the ▁measure ▁of ▁B = 38 degrees , ▁and ▁so ▁the ▁measure ▁of ▁C =2 \\\\\\\\ cdot ▁38 degrees = 76 \\\\\\\\ c irc . ▁T illed ▁land ▁area ▁= ▁2 /3 ▁× ▁17 , 600 ▁square ▁feet ▁To ▁find ▁her ▁rate ▁during ▁these ▁five ▁minutes , ▁we ▁divide ▁the ▁volume ▁by ▁the ▁time : ▁This ▁is ▁the ▁very ▁beginning ▁of ▁thinking ▁about ▁" x " ▁as ▁a ▁variable ▁rather ▁than ▁an ▁unknown . ▁We ▁note ▁first ▁that ▁the ▁following ▁equations ▁are ▁equivalent ▁What ▁is ▁the ▁smallest ▁number ▁between ▁1000 ▁to ▁4000 ▁that ▁can ▁be ▁made ▁using ▁the ▁dig its ▁2, ▁9, ▁8, ▁4 ▁In ▁each ▁of ▁these ▁situations , ▁the ▁" sh ape ▁characteristics " ▁of ▁the ▁object ▁remain ▁the ▁same , ▁what ▁has ▁changed ▁is ▁size . ▁To ▁find ▁the ▁gas ▁m ile age , ▁we ▁divide ▁the ▁distance ▁travel ed ▁by ▁the ▁amount ▁of ▁gas ol ine ▁used : ▁The ▁sum ▁of ▁the ▁third ▁and ▁fifth ▁parts ▁of ▁a ▁certain ▁number ▁exceed s ▁two ▁times ▁the ▁difference ▁of ▁the ▁fourth ▁and ▁six th ▁parts ▁by ▁22. ▁In ▁the ▁number ▁line , ▁number ▁means ▁a ▁( s ign ed ) ▁length : ▁a ▁is ▁the ▁signed ▁length ▁of ▁the ▁interval ▁between ▁a ▁and ▁0 ▁( p os itive ▁is ▁a ▁is ▁right ▁of ▁0 , ▁negative ▁if ▁a ▁is ▁left ▁of ▁zero ). ▁To ▁illust rate ▁with ▁the ▁example ▁of ▁the ▁ro ll ▁of ▁three ▁d ice , ▁the ▁event ▁is ▁" 2 ▁t ails ▁and ▁1 ▁head ", ▁and ▁it ▁consists ▁of ▁the ▁three ▁outcomes ▁H TT , TH T , T TH , ▁so ▁has ▁probability ▁3 / 8. ▁Therefore , ▁the ▁ratio ▁of ▁boys ▁to ▁girls ▁in ▁the ▁class ▁is ▁7 : 3. ▁For ▁example , ▁instead ▁of ▁doing ▁what ▁John ▁Ker r ich ▁did , ▁we ▁can ▁now ▁model ▁10,000 ▁coin ▁toss es ▁by ▁a ▁con - t oss ing ▁machine , ▁or ▁by ▁a ▁computer ▁program ▁that ▁random ly ▁cho oses ▁H ▁or ▁T ▁success ively ▁for ▁many ▁times . ▁A ▁jo ist ▁is ▁a ▁horizontal ▁floor ▁be am ▁( e ven

▁reduce ▁the ▁probability ▁that ▁new ▁variants ▁will ▁arise ; ▁and ▁reduce ▁pressure ▁on ▁health ▁systems . ▁The ▁GDG ▁determined ▁that , ▁given ▁the ▁close ▁balance ▁of ▁benefits ▁and ▁harms , ▁different ▁preferences ▁( e . g . ▁focus ing ▁on ▁potential ▁benefits ▁in ▁terms ▁of ▁reducing ▁infection ▁risk ▁versus ▁focus ing ▁on ▁potential ▁harms ) ▁could ▁change ▁the ▁decision ▁consequ ently , ▁variability ▁in ▁preferences / val ues ▁could ▁affect ▁judge ments ▁about ▁mask ▁use ▁in ▁this ▁population . ▁Given ▁the ▁broad ▁range ▁of ▁interventions ▁and ▁settings ▁in ▁which ▁lar val ▁habit at ▁manip ulation ▁and / or ▁mod ification ▁may ▁be ▁applied , ▁the ▁GDG ▁judged ▁that ▁the ▁potential ▁impact , ▁feasibility , ▁acceptability ▁and ▁resource ▁needs ▁for ▁each ▁intervention ▁are ▁likely ▁to ▁be ▁highly ▁variable . ▁Implementation ▁Please ▁refer ▁to ▁the ▁Inter mittent ▁preventive ▁treatment ▁for ▁infants ▁using ▁s ulf ad ox ine - py rim eth am ine ▁( IPT i - SP ) ▁for ▁malaria ▁control ▁in ▁Africa : ▁implementation ▁field ▁guide ▁. ▁L ON G - T ER M ▁E F F E CT S ▁O N ▁THE ▁IN F A NT S ▁One ▁of ▁the ▁study ▁auth ors ▁was ▁contact ed , ▁who ▁confirmed ▁that ▁no ▁long - term ▁complications ▁were ▁reported ▁for ▁either ▁of ▁the ▁two ▁infants ▁in ▁his ▁study ▁at ▁two ▁years ▁of ▁age . ▁In ▁the ▁remaining ▁case ▁reports ▁or ▁series , ▁human ▁milk ▁samples ▁collected ▁3 – 4 ▁days ▁after ▁the ▁onset ▁of ▁maternal ▁symptoms ▁of ▁the ▁infection ▁were ▁positive ▁for ▁Zika ▁virus ;

aged ▁children ▁without ▁comp rom ising ▁chemoprevention ▁in ▁younger ▁children , ▁national ▁malaria ▁programmes ▁can ▁consider ▁IPTsc . ▁Up d ated ▁evidence ▁supporting ▁the ▁previous ▁strong ▁recommendation ▁against ▁use ▁of ▁s ot ro v imab ▁for ▁patients ▁with ▁non -

J ust ification ▁This ▁recommendation ▁was ▁developed ▁using ▁the ▁Gr ading ▁of ▁Recommend ations ▁Ass essment , ▁Development ▁and ▁Evaluation ▁( G RADE ) ▁frame work ▁The ▁panel ▁judged ▁that ▁policy - makers ▁considering ▁house ▁screening ▁should ▁assess ▁the ▁feasibility , ▁acceptability , ▁impact ▁on ▁equity ▁and ▁resources ▁needed ▁for ▁screening ▁houses ▁in ▁their ▁contexts ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁determine ▁whether ▁such ▁an ▁intervention ▁would ▁be ▁appropriate ▁for ▁their ▁setting . ▁Values ▁and ▁preferences ▁Pre ferences ▁and ▁values ▁of ▁the ▁target ▁population ▁were ▁determined ▁by : ▁consult ation ▁with ▁civil ▁society , ▁which ▁indicated ▁that ▁chemoprevention ▁to ▁prevent ▁malaria ▁disease ▁in ▁children ▁under ▁5 ▁years ▁was ▁seen ▁as ▁a ▁priority ▁in ▁endemic ▁areas ▁( C S 4 ME ▁unpublished ▁evidence ); ▁a ▁synt hesis ▁of ▁contextual ▁factors ▁from ▁trials ▁and ▁pil ots ▁of ▁PMC , ▁pred omin ant ly ▁in ▁sub -

ad mission ▁and ▁death . ▁The ▁GDG ▁members ▁sur m ised ▁that ▁mon ocl on al ▁antib odies ▁most ▁likely ▁need ▁to ▁pen et rate ▁the ▁respiratory ▁tract ▁to ▁achieve ▁clinical ▁effectiveness . ▁The ▁evidence ▁is ▁indirect ▁since ▁it ▁is ▁from ▁adults ; ▁the ▁GDG ▁judged ▁that ▁the ▁benefits ▁in ▁this ▁age ▁group ▁are ▁smaller ▁than ▁in ▁adolescents ▁aged ▁10 -1 2, ▁given ▁lower ▁incidence / se ver ity ▁and ▁reduced ▁adherence ▁( at ▁least ▁in ▁younger ▁children ▁in ▁this ▁ag er ange ), ▁therefore , ▁the ▁GDG ▁judged ▁that ▁the ▁benefits ▁of ▁mask - w earing ▁slight ly ▁outwe igh ▁the ▁harms . ▁U nd esirable ▁effects ▁The ▁undesirable ▁ant icip ated ▁effects ▁of ▁breastfeeding ▁or ▁feeding ▁of ▁breast - milk ▁( any ▁or ▁exclusive ) ▁from ▁a ▁lactating ▁woman ▁infected ▁( s us pected , ▁probable ▁or ▁confirmed ) ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁are ▁small ▁compared ▁with ▁not ▁breastfeeding ▁among ▁infants ▁not ▁infected ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus . ▁AD V E RS E ▁S Y M P T O MS ▁O R ▁E V E NT S ▁( N OT ▁T Y P IC AL L Y ▁AS SO C I AT ED ▁W I TH ▁THE ▁IN F E CT ION ) ▁No ▁adverse ▁outcomes ▁were ▁reported . ▁No ▁changes ▁were ▁made ▁to ▁the ▁recommendation ▁in ▁this ▁14 th ▁version ▁of ▁the ▁guideline . ▁Once ▁transmission ▁has ▁been ▁reduced ▁to ▁very ▁low ▁levels ▁approaching ▁el imination , ▁ensuring ▁opt imal ▁access ▁to ▁vector ▁control ▁for ▁at - risk ▁populations ▁remains ▁a ▁priority , ▁even ▁though ▁the ▁size ▁and ▁dem ograph ics ▁of ▁the ▁at - risk ▁populations ▁may ▁change ▁as ▁malaria ▁transmission ▁is ▁reduced . ▁See ▁WHO ▁O x ygen ▁sources ▁and ▁distribution ▁for ▁COVID -19 ▁treatment ▁centres . ▁In ▁terms ▁of ▁disease ▁outcomes ▁in ▁these ▁studies , ▁one ▁study ▁indicated ▁no ▁effect ▁of ▁ivermectin , ▁one ▁study ▁indicated ▁an ▁effect ▁more ▁pr on oun ced ▁in ▁female ▁h am st ers , ▁and ▁one ▁study ▁indicated ▁an ▁effect ▁but ▁only ▁mal es ▁were ▁studied . ▁MDA ▁for ▁burden ▁reduction ▁should ▁be ▁targeted ▁at ▁moderate ▁to ▁high ▁transmission ▁settings , ▁regard less ▁of ▁season ality . ▁The ▁specific ▁characteristics ▁of ▁the ▁virus ▁therefore ▁represent ▁a ▁small ▁but ▁critical ▁piece ▁of ▁the ▁process ▁of ▁making ▁infant ▁feeding ▁decisions . ▁G ood ▁practice ▁statement ▁Pol icies ▁aimed ▁at ▁reducing ▁the ▁transmission ▁of ▁SARS - CoV -2 ▁in ▁the ▁community ▁should ▁be ▁rev is ited , ▁strengthened ▁and ▁updated ▁according ▁to ▁the ▁most ▁recent ▁scientific ▁evidence . ▁For ▁safe ▁handling ▁of ▁bodies ▁in ▁the ▁community , ▁practices ▁would ▁follow ▁the ▁same ▁measures ▁for ▁death ▁due ▁to ▁other ▁respiratory ▁illness es ▁( e . g . ▁influ en za ). ▁All ▁additional ▁measures ▁should ▁be ▁followed , ▁particularly ▁respiratory ▁hygiene , ▁frequ ent ▁hand ▁hygiene , ▁and ▁maintaining ▁a ▁physical ▁distance ▁of ▁at ▁least ▁1 ▁met re ▁from ▁other ▁persons . ▁House hold ▁members ▁should ▁avoid ▁ent ering ▁the ▁room ▁where ▁the ▁patient ▁is ▁located ▁or , ▁if ▁that ▁is ▁not ▁possible , ▁wear ▁a ▁mask ▁and ▁keep ▁a ▁distance ▁of ▁at ▁least ▁1 ▁met re ▁from ▁the ▁patient . ▁Certainty ▁of ▁evidence ▁was ▁r ated ▁as ▁moderate ▁for ▁mortality ▁( d ue ▁to ▁serious ▁indirect ness ), ▁and ▁low ▁for ▁mechanical ▁ventilation ▁( d ue ▁to ▁serious ▁indirect ness , ▁imprecision , ▁and ▁some ▁concerns ▁regarding ▁risk ▁of ▁bias ) ▁and ▁hospitalization ▁( d ue ▁to ▁serious ▁imprecision ▁and ▁risk ▁of ▁bias ). ▁No ▁data ▁were ▁available ▁to ▁assess ▁the ▁effect ▁of ▁MDA ▁on ▁serious ▁adverse ▁events ▁in ▁moderate ▁to ▁high ▁transmission ▁settings , ▁but ▁the ▁absolute ▁risk ▁is ▁very ▁low ▁(0 .01 ▁per ▁1000 ▁doses ). ▁Remarks : ▁Patients ▁with ▁hyp ox a emic ▁respiratory ▁failure ▁and ▁ha em ody nam ic ▁inst ability , ▁mult ior gan ▁failure ▁or ▁ab n orm al ▁mental ▁status ▁should ▁not ▁receive ▁H F NO ▁or ▁N IV ▁in ▁place ▁of ▁other ▁options ▁such ▁as ▁invas ive ▁ventilation . ▁Certainty ▁of ▁the ▁evidence ▁very ▁low ▁the ▁quality ▁of ▁the ▁evidence ▁is ▁indirect ▁and ▁very ▁low . ▁However , ▁recent ▁studies ▁of ▁di h y dro art em is in in - p ip era qu ine ▁( D HAP ) ▁in ▁areas ▁of ▁high ▁SP ▁resistance ▁have ▁shown ▁that , ▁although ▁super ior ▁to ▁SP ▁in ▁reducing ▁malaria ▁during ▁pregnancy , ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁DHAP ▁did ▁not ▁transl ate ▁into ▁better ▁pregnancy ▁outcomes ; ▁SP ▁was ▁associated ▁with ▁better ▁f etal ▁growth , ▁resulting ▁in ▁higher ▁mean ▁birth weight s ▁in ▁all ▁gra vid ae ▁( G ut man ▁et ▁al un published ▁evidence ▁( a )). T r ans mission ▁In ▁areas ▁of ▁moderate ▁to ▁high ▁P . ▁falciparum ▁transmission , ▁IPTp - SP ▁should ▁be ▁given ▁to ▁all ▁pregnant ▁women . ▁The ▁GDG ▁noted ▁the ▁uncertainty ▁in ▁bas eline ▁risk ▁estimates ▁and ▁uncertainty ▁and ▁variability ▁in ▁patient ▁values ▁and ▁preferences ▁when ▁dec iding ▁on ▁a ▁conditional ▁recommendation , ▁rather ▁than ▁a ▁strong ▁recommendation , ▁against ▁nirmatrelvir - ritonavir . ▁P arent s ▁reported ▁experi en cing ▁fr ust ration ▁that ▁they ▁could ▁not ▁feed ▁in ▁the ▁way ▁they ▁wanted ▁to , ▁such ▁as ▁breastfeeding , ▁and ▁that ▁interventions ▁and ▁advice ▁often ▁did ▁not ▁work . ▁No ▁undesirable ▁effects ▁were ▁identified ▁by ▁systematic ▁review . ▁In ▁addition ▁to ▁decre asing ▁the ▁mask ' s ▁breath ability , ▁the ▁co ating ▁may ▁cause ▁unf il tered ▁air ▁to ▁be ▁more ▁likely ▁to ▁escape ▁from ▁the ▁sides ▁of ▁the ▁mask ▁on ▁ex h al ation , ▁so ▁the ▁co ating ▁is ▁therefore ▁not ▁recommended . ▁Summary ▁thir teen ▁trials ▁with ▁33 96 ▁participants ▁were ▁included . ▁The ▁bas eline ▁risk ▁estimates ▁for ▁hospital ▁admission ▁and ▁mortality ▁were ▁updated ▁in ▁v 14 ▁where ▁the ▁GDG ▁defined ▁three ▁risk ▁categories ▁for ▁which ▁the ▁recommendations ▁apply ; ▁low , ▁moderate ▁and ▁high ▁risk . ▁Although ▁the ▁COVID -19 ▁imm unity ▁land sc ape ▁has ▁ev olved , ▁in ▁cont rast ▁to ▁mon ocl on al ▁antib odies ▁that ▁target ▁the ▁sp ike ▁pro te in , ▁nirmatrelvir - ritonavir ▁has ▁demonst rated ▁consist ency ▁in ▁effect ▁across ▁variants . ▁As ▁young ▁children ▁( ≤ ▁5 9 ▁months ) ▁are ▁the ▁most ▁vul ner able ▁to ▁severe ▁malaria , ▁chemoprevention ▁interventions ▁to ▁protect ▁this ▁age ▁group ▁should ▁be ▁prior it ized ▁over ▁those ▁for ▁school - aged ▁children . ▁Un l ike ▁the ▁considerations ▁for ▁resistance , ▁there ▁is ▁no ▁concept ual ▁basis ▁for ▁molnupiravir ▁pl ac ing ▁a ▁select ive ▁pressure ▁on ▁emergence ▁of ▁new ▁variants . ▁We ▁are ▁aware ▁of ▁two ▁additional ▁published ▁RCTs ▁comparing ▁con val es cent ▁pl as ma ▁with ▁standard ▁care ▁or ▁place bo . ▁Impro ving ▁the ▁knowledge , ▁skills ▁and ▁behaviour ▁of ▁the ▁caregivers ▁of ▁infants ▁affected ▁by ▁complications ▁of ▁Zika ▁virus ▁infection ▁may ▁be ▁imp er ative ▁to ▁preserv ing ▁health , ▁maxim izing ▁development ▁and ▁promoting ▁quality ▁of ▁life . ▁For ▁the ▁comparison ▁of ▁standard ▁th rom b op ro phylaxis ▁d osing ▁compared ▁with ▁inter medi ate ▁d osing ▁of ▁ant ico ag ulation , ▁the ▁evidence ▁for ▁avoid ance ▁of ▁major ▁ble eding ▁was ▁r ated ▁as ▁low ▁certainty . ▁Res istance ▁may ▁be ▁monitored ▁by ▁the ▁analysis ▁of ▁mole c ular ▁mark ers ▁associated ▁with ▁treatment ▁outcomes , ▁although ▁the ▁cor rel ation ▁between ▁mole c ular ▁mark ers ▁and ▁the ▁efficacy ▁of ▁antimalarial s ▁for ▁chemoprevention ▁is ▁unclear ▁and ▁should ▁be ▁interpre ted ▁with ▁ca ution . ▁Research ▁needs ▁Several ▁evidence ▁gaps ▁were ▁identified ▁regarding ▁IPTp . ▁All ▁those ▁involved ▁in ▁such ▁bur ial s ▁should ▁follow ▁WHO ▁guidelines ▁for ▁mask ▁use ▁in ▁the ▁community . ▁In ▁order ▁to ▁reduce ▁the ▁risk ▁of ▁drug ▁resistance ▁to ▁life - s aving ▁drugs , ▁first - ▁and ▁second - line ▁malaria ▁treat ments ▁should ▁not ▁be ▁used ▁for ▁IPTsc ▁if ▁safe ▁and ▁effective ▁alternatives ▁are ▁available . ▁The ▁GRADE ▁summary ▁of ▁findings ▁table ▁shows ▁the ▁relative ▁and ▁absolute ▁effects ▁of ▁l op in avir - ritonavir ▁compared ▁with ▁standard ▁care ▁for ▁the ▁outcomes ▁of ▁interest ▁in ▁patients ▁with ▁COVID -19 ▁across ▁all ▁disease ▁sever ities , ▁with ▁certainty ▁r at ings . ▁Certainty ▁in ▁SA Es ▁was ▁r ated ▁as ▁very ▁low ▁due ▁to ▁risk ▁of ▁bias ▁related ▁to ▁lack ▁of ▁blind ing ▁and ▁as c ertain ment ▁bias , ▁and ▁very ▁serious ▁imprecision ▁due ▁to ▁very ▁wide ▁confidence ▁intervals ▁which ▁did ▁not ▁rule ▁out ▁important ▁benefit ▁or ▁harm ; ▁certainty ▁in ▁risk ▁of ▁b acter ial ▁or ▁fun gal ▁infections ▁was ▁r ated ▁as ▁low ▁due ▁to ▁similar ▁concerns ▁regarding ▁serious ▁risk ▁of ▁bias ▁and ▁serious ▁imprecision . ▁Con sequently , ▁the ▁GDG ▁concluded ▁that ▁a ▁conditional ▁recommendation ▁should ▁be ▁made ▁for ▁MDA ▁in ▁emergency ▁settings , ▁highlight ing ▁the ▁strong ▁eth ical ▁and ▁mor al ▁imp er ative ▁for ▁malaria ▁prevention ▁in ▁these ▁contexts . ▁School ▁achieve ment ▁was ▁not ▁rank ed ▁by ▁the ▁GDG ▁as ▁a ▁critical ▁outcome ▁and ▁therefore ▁was ▁not ▁considered . ▁SP ▁has ▁been ▁widely ▁used ▁for ▁chemoprevention ▁during ▁pregnancy ▁and ▁has ▁been ▁shown ▁to ▁be ▁effic ac ious , ▁safe , ▁well ▁to ler ated , ▁available ▁and ▁in exp ensive . ▁No ▁undesirable ▁effects ▁were ▁identified ▁in ▁systematic ▁review . ▁The ▁GDG ▁also ▁considered ▁the ▁lack ▁of ▁feasibility ▁and ▁impact s ▁on ▁equity ▁and ▁agreed ▁that ▁a ▁recommendation ▁was ▁not ▁appropriate . ▁Both ▁studies ▁investigated ▁the ▁impact ▁of ▁house ▁screening ▁( sc reening ▁of ▁wind ows , ▁ce il ings , ▁doors ▁and / or ▁e aves ) ▁with ▁unt reated ▁materials ▁against ▁malaria . ▁C old ▁st or age ▁of ▁milk ▁also ▁in act iv ates ▁the ▁virus . ▁8 ▁L ess ons ▁learned ▁from ▁COVID -19 ▁and ▁potential ▁future ▁strategies ▁for ▁over b ur d ened ▁health ▁systems ▁L ess ons ▁learned ▁from ▁the ▁previous ▁w aves ▁of ▁COVID -19, ▁pa ired ▁with ▁the ▁un p red ict ability ▁of ▁SARS - CoV -2 , ▁highlight ▁the ▁need ▁for ▁health care ▁facilities ▁to ▁be ▁ready ▁for ▁future ▁increase ▁in ▁cases . ▁Another ▁used ▁in - dep th ▁interview s ▁and ▁field ▁notes ▁with ▁parents ▁whose ▁babies ▁had ▁been ▁in ▁a ▁ne on atal ▁int ensive ▁care ▁unit ▁and ▁who ▁experienced ▁one ▁or ▁more ▁feeding ▁difficult ies . ▁The ▁GDG ▁considered ▁that ▁the ▁health ▁equity ▁of ▁IPTp ▁varies ▁depending ▁on ▁contextual ▁factors , ▁especially ▁those ▁influ en cing ▁access ▁to ▁A NC ▁services . ▁The ▁remaining ▁trials ▁are ▁still ▁open , ▁either ▁rec ruit ing ▁( 4, ▁25 %) ▁or ▁not ▁rec ruit ing ▁( 3, ▁19 %). ▁Zika ▁virus ▁infection ▁is ▁also ▁relevant ▁to ▁issues ▁related ▁to ▁the ▁global ▁burden ▁of ▁the ▁disease , ▁international ▁spread ▁of ▁infect ious ▁disease , ▁Evidence ▁and ▁recommendations ▁reporting ▁bi ases ▁and ▁conf ident ial ity ▁of ▁patients ’ ▁health ▁information , ▁vector ▁control , ▁stig m at ization , ▁transport ▁between ▁regions , ▁climate ▁change ▁and ▁Zika ▁virus ▁vaccine ▁research ▁and ▁future ▁deployment . ▁Rem ark : ▁Patients ▁may ▁continue ▁to ▁have ▁increased ▁work ▁of ▁breathing ▁or ▁hyp ox aemia ▁even ▁when ▁oxygen ▁is ▁delivered ▁via ▁a ▁face ▁mask ▁with ▁reservoir ▁bag ▁( flow ▁rates ▁of ▁10 – 15 ▁L / min , ▁which ▁is ▁typically ▁the ▁minimum ▁flow ▁required ▁to ▁maintain ▁bag ▁infl ation ; ▁F i O 2 ▁0.6 0 –0 .9 5 ). ▁No ▁studies ▁had ▁investigated ▁the ▁presence ▁of ▁Zika ▁virus ▁in ▁swe at . ▁There ▁was ▁uncertainty ▁and ▁doubt ▁regarding ▁the ▁best ▁diet ▁and ▁the ▁best ▁way ▁to ▁feed ▁their ▁child . ▁The ▁decision ▁regarding ▁use ▁of ▁this ▁therapeutic ▁should ▁be ▁made ▁between ▁the ▁pregnant ▁individual ▁and ▁their ▁health ▁care ▁prov ider ▁while ▁discuss ing ▁whether ▁the ▁potential ▁benefit ▁just ifies ▁the ▁potential ▁risk ▁to ▁the ▁mother ▁and ▁f et us ▁( see ▁Research ▁evidence ▁and P ractical ▁info ). ▁The ▁drug ▁is ▁administered ▁or ally ▁which ▁makes ▁oper ational ization ▁eas ier ▁than ▁other ▁intra ven ous ▁options ▁( e . g . ▁remdesivir ). ▁F it ▁of ▁masks ▁is ▁currently ▁not ▁defined ▁by ▁any ▁standard ▁except ▁for ▁the ▁an th ro p omet ric ▁considerations ▁of ▁fac ial ▁d imens ions ▁( IS O / T S ▁169 76 -2 ) ▁or ▁simpl ified ▁to ▁mask ▁height ▁mask ▁( S outh ▁Korean ▁standard ▁for ▁K F - A D ). ▁Moderate ▁Certainty ▁of ▁the ▁Evidence ▁The ▁certainty ▁of ▁the ▁evidence ▁across ▁all ▁critical ▁outcomes ▁r anged ▁from ▁moderate ▁to ▁high . ▁Over all , ▁PDMC ▁probably ▁reduces ▁all - cause ▁mortality ▁( risk ▁ratio : ▁0.7 7; ▁95% ▁CI : ▁0.4 7 –1 .2 8; ▁moderate - certainty ▁evidence ). ▁The ▁primary ▁goal ▁of ▁this ▁guideline ▁is ▁to ▁provide ▁recommendations ▁on ▁infant ▁feeding ▁in ▁areas ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁transmission . ▁How ▁to ▁make ▁a ▁fab ric ▁mask ▁Although ▁at ▁least ▁three ▁lay ers ▁are ▁recommended ▁for ▁non - med ical ▁masks ▁for ▁the ▁most ▁common ▁fab ric ▁used , ▁single , ▁double ▁or ▁other ▁lay ered ▁comb inations ▁of ▁advanced ▁materials ▁may ▁be ▁used ▁if ▁they ▁meet ▁performance ▁requirements . ▁F ilt ration ▁and ▁breath ability ▁F ilt ration ▁depends ▁on ▁the ▁f ilt ration ▁efficiency ▁( in ▁ %), ▁the ▁type ▁of ▁challenge ▁partic le ▁( o il s , ▁sol ids , ▁dro ple ts ▁containing ▁b acter ia ) ▁and ▁the ▁partic le ▁size . ▁It ▁is ▁unclear ▁whether ▁breast - milk ▁car ries ▁enough ▁viral ▁lo ad ▁or ▁infect ivity ▁to ▁lead ▁to ▁infection ▁among ▁infants ▁(2 7 – 30) ▁or ▁whether ▁breast - milk ▁possess es ▁ant ivir al ▁activity . ▁See ▁practical ▁info ▁for ▁use ▁of ▁nirmatrelvir - ritonavir ▁in ▁patients ▁with ▁COVID -19 ▁at ▁high ▁and ▁moderate ▁risks ▁of ▁hospitalization ▁if ▁needed . ▁Despite ▁over l app ing ▁confidence ▁intervals , ▁point ▁estimates ▁disc rep ant . ▁However , ▁the ▁absolute ▁impact ▁in ▁older ▁age ▁groups ▁will ▁vary ▁according ▁to ▁the ▁age ▁pattern ▁of ▁disease ▁in ▁different ▁settings . ▁On ▁the ▁one ▁hand , ▁if ▁they ▁choose ▁to ▁breastfeed , ▁women ▁may ▁be ▁subject ▁to ▁stig ma ▁for ▁fear ▁of ▁pass ing ▁Zika ▁virus ▁to ▁their ▁children . ▁The ▁cost – effectiveness ▁of ▁mod ifying ▁infant ▁feeding ▁practices ▁among ▁infants ▁affected ▁by ▁complications ▁associated ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁probably ▁fav ours ▁treatment ▁compared ▁with ▁no ▁mod ifications . ▁The ▁panel ▁ac know led ged ▁that ▁ongoing ▁randomized ▁trials ▁are ▁expected ▁to ▁add ▁substant ially ▁to ▁the ▁evidence ▁base ▁over ▁the ▁next ▁several ▁months . ▁In ▁the ▁E thiop ian ▁study , ▁some ▁participants ▁reported ▁that ▁they ▁made ▁further ▁efforts ▁to ▁reduce ▁mosquito ▁entry ▁after ▁screening ▁install ation , ▁such ▁as ▁fill ing ▁in ▁wall ▁open ings ▁with ▁m ud . ▁Other ▁considerations ▁Information ▁about ▁PDMC ▁should ▁be ▁fully ▁access ible ▁to ▁caregivers . ▁All - cause ▁mortality , ▁hospitalization , ▁severe ▁malaria , ▁or ▁blood ▁transf usions : ▁In ▁the ▁studies ▁that ▁met ▁the ▁inc lusion ▁criteria , ▁none ▁system at ically ▁collected ▁data ▁on ▁these ▁outcomes ▁for ▁very ▁low ▁to ▁low ▁transmission ▁areas , ▁beyond ▁what ▁was ▁reported ▁as ▁severe ▁adverse ▁events . ▁Resources ▁important ▁issues , ▁or ▁potential ▁issues ▁not ▁investigated ▁this ▁intervention ▁is ▁unl ike ly ▁to ▁have ▁resource ▁imp lications . ▁A ▁total ▁of ▁28 3 ad verse ▁events ▁(0 .6 %) ▁were ▁reported ▁from ▁the ▁c R CT ▁and ▁RCT ▁studies , ▁with ▁all ▁events ▁relating ▁to ▁m ild ▁skin ▁ir rit ation . ▁However , ▁there ▁is ▁a ▁need ▁to ▁ensure ▁that ▁lack ▁of ▁access ▁to ▁masks ▁does ▁not ▁have ▁a ▁negative ▁impact ▁on ▁children ▁( which ▁would ▁decrease ▁equity ), ▁and ▁that ▁certain ▁populations ▁( s uch ▁as ▁dis abled ▁individuals ) ▁are ▁not ▁adverse ly ▁affected . ▁E PI ▁has ▁also ▁been ▁generally ▁well ▁accepted ▁and ▁perceived ▁as ▁benef icial . ▁A ▁range ▁of ▁doses ▁was ▁provided , ▁including ▁6 ▁mg ▁and ▁12 ▁mg ▁fixed ▁doses ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁0 .1 ▁mg / kg ▁to ▁1.2 ▁mg / kg ▁weight - based ▁doses . ▁If ▁areas ▁where ▁transmission ▁has ▁been ▁inter rupted ▁are ▁identified , ▁the ▁decision ▁to ▁scale ▁back ▁vector ▁control ▁should ▁be ▁based ▁on ▁a ▁detailed ▁analysis ▁that ▁includes ▁assessment ▁of ▁the ▁recept ivity ▁and ▁import ation ▁risk ▁of ▁the ▁area , ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁an ▁assessment ▁of ▁the ▁active ▁disease ▁sur veillance ▁system , ▁and ▁capacity ▁for ▁case ▁management ▁and ▁vector ▁control ▁response . ▁Pay ▁particular ▁attention ▁to ▁how ▁long ▁the ▁product ▁should ▁remain ▁on ▁the ▁surface , ▁and ▁ensure ▁the ▁surf aces ▁st ays ▁w et ▁during ▁the ▁duration ▁of ▁the ▁required ▁contact ▁time . ▁This ▁review ▁found ▁that , ▁overall , ▁women ▁value ▁a ▁positive ▁pregnancy ▁experience , ▁which ▁includes ▁preventing ▁threat ening ▁risks ▁and ▁illness ▁and ▁achieving ▁compet ence ▁and ▁aut on omy , ▁especially ▁on ▁how ▁to ▁take ▁care ▁of ▁the ▁baby . ▁Des irable ▁effects ▁The ▁des irable ▁ant icip ated ▁effects ▁of ▁breastfeeding ▁or ▁feeding ▁of ▁breast - milk ▁( any ▁or ▁exclusive ) ▁from ▁a ▁lactating ▁woman ▁infected ▁( s us pected , ▁probable ▁or ▁confirmed ) ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁are ▁large ▁compared ▁with ▁not ▁breastfeeding ▁among ▁infants ▁not ▁infected ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus . ▁The ▁Guideline ▁Development ▁Group ▁considered ▁that ▁understanding ▁the ▁values ▁of ▁members ▁of ▁the ▁community ▁is ▁important ▁in ▁assessing ▁the ▁useful ness ▁of ▁a ▁recommendation ▁to ▁breastfeed ▁during ▁a ▁Zika ▁virus ▁outbre ak . ▁Equ ity ▁No ▁studies ▁were ▁identified ▁that ▁address ed ▁the ▁issue ▁of ▁whether ▁topical ▁repellents ▁increased ▁or ▁decreased ▁health ▁equity . ▁Although ▁PDMC ▁adherence ▁was ▁higher ▁among ▁S MS ▁rec ip ients ▁( 66 .2 %) ▁compared ▁to ▁non - S MS ▁participants ▁(5 6 .9 %), ▁there ▁was ▁no ▁stat istical ▁evidence ▁that ▁S MS ▁remind ers ▁result ed ▁in ▁greater ▁adherence ▁( incidence ▁rate ▁ratio : ▁1 .0 3 ; ▁95% ▁CI : ▁0.8 8 –1 .2 1; ▁p ▁= ▁0.6 8 ). ▁L ar val ▁habit at ▁mod ification ▁and / or ▁lar val ▁habit at ▁manip ulation ▁no ▁recommendation ▁can ▁be ▁made ▁because ▁the ▁evidence ▁on ▁the ▁effectiveness ▁of ▁a ▁specific ▁lar val ▁habit at ▁mod ification ▁and / or ▁lar val ▁habit at ▁manip ulation ▁intervention ▁for ▁the ▁prevention ▁and ▁control ▁of ▁malaria ▁was ▁de em ed ▁to ▁be ▁insufficient . ▁Sc aling ▁up ▁breastfeeding ▁can ▁prevent ▁an ▁estimated ▁8 23 ▁000 ▁child ▁deaths ▁and ▁20 ▁000 ▁deaths ▁from ▁breast ▁cancer ▁every ▁year . ▁Although ▁participants ▁were ▁generally ▁aware ▁of ▁the ▁ca uses , ▁major ▁rout es ▁of ▁transmission ▁and ▁main ▁symptoms ▁of ▁Zika ▁virus , ▁almost ▁all ▁thought ▁that ▁Zika ▁virus ▁is ▁trans mitted ▁through ▁breastfeeding . ▁Justification ▁the ▁GDG ▁determined ▁that ▁benefits ▁of ▁wearing ▁a ▁mask ▁during ▁v ig orous - int ensity ▁physical ▁activity ▁did ▁not ▁outwe igh ▁any ▁potential ▁harms ▁and ▁disc om fort s . ▁U PD AT ING ▁THE ▁G U I DE L IN E ▁WHO ▁will ▁continue ▁to ▁mon itor ▁research ▁developments ▁in ▁infant ▁feeding ▁in ▁areas ▁of ▁Zika ▁virus ▁transmission , ▁especially ▁the ▁availability ▁of ▁a ▁Zika ▁virus ▁vaccine ▁in ▁the ▁market . ▁St oring ▁or ▁process ing ▁the ▁milk ▁may ▁release ▁l ip ases ▁that ▁could ▁gener ate ▁free ▁fat ty ▁ac ids ▁that ▁destroy ▁the ▁Zika ▁virus ▁mem br ane . ▁In ▁areas ▁with ▁COVID -19 ▁community ▁transmission , ▁restrict ▁visitors ▁to ▁those ▁that ▁are ▁essential ▁such ▁as ▁the ▁parents ▁of ▁pa ed i at ric ▁patients ▁and ▁caregivers ▁and ▁ask ▁them ▁to ▁wear ▁a ▁mask . ▁Inf o ▁Box ▁Table ▁6 .3 ▁COVID -19 ▁disease ▁severity ▁class ification ▁Sy mpt om atic ▁patients ▁( Table ▁6.1 ) ▁meeting ▁the ▁case ▁defin ition ▁for ▁COVID -19 ▁without ▁evidence ▁of ▁viral ▁pneumonia ▁or ▁hyp ox ia . ▁At ▁a ▁time ▁of ▁drug ▁short age , ▁it ▁may ▁be ▁necessary ▁to ▁prior it ize ▁use ▁of ▁I L -6 ▁recept or ▁block ers ▁through ▁clinical ▁tri age . ▁Given ▁the ▁evidence ▁available , ▁the ▁benefits ▁of ▁breastfeeding ▁for ▁the ▁infant ▁and ▁mother ▁outwe igh ▁any ▁potential ▁risk ▁of ▁Zika ▁virus ▁transmission ▁through ▁breast - milk . ▁Other ▁risk ▁factors ▁associated ▁with ▁higher ▁risk ▁include : ▁sm oking ▁and ▁higher ▁sequ ential ▁organ ▁failure ▁assessment ▁( SO F A ) ▁score ▁and ▁D - d im er ▁> 1 ▁ μ g / L ▁on ▁admission ▁were ▁associated ▁with ▁higher ▁mortality ▁( ? ) ▁There ▁were ▁similar ▁considerations ▁for ▁pregnant ▁individuals , ▁with ▁no ▁data ▁directly ▁exam ining ▁this ▁population , ▁but ▁no ▁rational e ▁to ▁suggest ▁they ▁would ▁respond ▁differently ▁to ▁other ▁adults . ▁In ▁many ▁settings , ▁a ▁sw itch ▁from ▁ITNs ▁to ▁IRS ▁or ▁v ice ▁vers a , ▁rather ▁than ▁their ▁combination , ▁is ▁likely ▁to ▁be ▁the ▁only ▁financial ly ▁feasible ▁option . ▁However , ▁if ▁household ▁inhabitants ▁routine ly ▁close ▁entry ▁points ▁at ▁night , ▁such ▁as ▁wind ows , ▁screening ▁these ▁open ings ▁would ▁allow ▁for ▁increased ▁air flow ▁and ▁ventilation ▁compared ▁to ▁when ▁they ▁are ▁closed , ▁thereby ▁reducing ▁ind oor ▁tem per atures ▁as ▁shown ▁in ▁G amb ia ▁. ▁Five ▁of ▁the ▁cases ▁were ▁infected ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁during ▁pregnancy ▁( c ons idered ▁as ▁the ▁trans pl ac ental ▁route ▁of ▁infection ▁or ▁at ▁delivery ), ▁one ▁case ▁was ▁infected ▁0 – 4 ▁days ▁after ▁birth , ▁two ▁cases ▁were ▁infected ▁between ▁eight ▁weeks ▁and ▁six ▁months ▁after ▁birth ▁and ▁two ▁cases ▁were ▁infected ▁beyond ▁six ▁months ▁after ▁birth . ▁Me chan ism ▁of ▁action ▁Jan us ▁k in ase ▁in hib itors ▁T y pe ▁I ▁and ▁type ▁II ▁cy t ok ine ▁recept ors ▁are ▁a ▁family ▁of ▁recept ors ▁employ ed ▁by ▁over ▁50 ▁inter le uk ins , ▁inter fer ons , ▁col ony ▁st im ul ating ▁factors , ▁and ▁h orm ones . ▁IPTsc ▁should ▁be ▁t imed ▁to ▁give ▁protection ▁during ▁the ▁period ▁of ▁greatest ▁malaria ▁risk . ▁Any ▁recommendation ▁for ▁mask ▁use ▁for ▁children ▁should ▁en comp ass ▁needed ▁fle x ibility ▁to ▁enable ▁children ▁to ▁maintain ▁their ▁rights ▁to ▁play ▁and ▁to ▁education ▁and ▁their ▁ability ▁to ▁eng age ▁in ▁every day ▁activities . ▁Given ▁the ▁low ▁certainty ▁of ▁the ▁evidence , ▁the ▁panel ▁felt ▁that ▁the ▁recommendation ▁should ▁be ▁class ified ▁as ▁conditional . ▁Ind ividual s ’ ▁use ▁of ▁the ▁intervention ▁to ▁achieve ▁personal ▁protection ▁faces ▁the ▁same ▁ob st ac les . ▁AND ▁no ▁other ▁ob vious ▁m icro b ial ▁cause ▁of ▁infl amm ation , ▁including ▁b acter ial ▁se ps is , ▁st aph yl oc occ al ▁or ▁stre pt oc occ al ▁sh ock ▁synd rom es . ▁If ▁ITNs ▁and ▁IRS ▁are ▁to ▁be ▁deployed ▁together ▁in ▁the ▁same ▁geograph ical ▁loc ation , ▁IRS ▁should ▁be ▁conducted ▁with ▁a ▁non py reth roid ▁insecticide . ▁The ▁observational ▁studies ▁providing ▁information ▁related ▁to ▁the ▁nutritional ▁status ▁of ▁infants ▁affected ▁by ▁congenital ▁Zika ▁syndrome ▁provided ▁evidence ▁of ▁very -

con st rained ▁situations , ▁it ▁is ▁unl ike ly ▁to ▁be ▁financial ly ▁feasible ▁to ▁deploy ▁both ▁ITNs ▁and ▁IRS . ▁Justification ▁Only ▁observational ▁study ▁was ▁identified ▁by ▁the ▁systematic ▁review ▁and ▁the ▁certainty ▁of ▁the ▁evidence ▁was ▁gr aded ▁as ▁very ▁low ▁[ 10 7 ]. ▁CH W s ▁also ▁view ed ▁PDMC ▁as ▁an ▁important ▁and ▁benef icial ▁intervention ▁[1 60 ]. ▁The ▁inf ograph ic ▁illust rates ▁these ▁three ▁disease ▁severity ▁groups ▁and ▁key ▁characteristics ▁to ▁apply ▁in ▁practice . ▁Un less ▁spec ified ▁differently ▁by ▁the ▁receiving ▁labor atory , ▁transport ▁sample ▁in ▁viral ▁transport ▁media . ▁Use ▁medic ations ▁that ▁carry ▁the ▁least ▁risk ▁possible ▁for ▁drug -

im de v imab ) ▁was ▁applic able ▁to ▁the ▁current ▁SARS - CoV -2 ▁e c ology . ▁These ▁activities ▁are ▁designed ▁to ▁m it ig ate ▁the ▁impact ▁of ▁a ▁specific ▁outbre ak ▁on ▁the ▁health ▁system ▁and ▁to ▁reduce ▁morbidity ▁and ▁mortality ▁as ▁det ails ▁on ▁a ▁communic able ▁disease ▁threat ▁are ▁emerging . ▁A ▁mask ▁should ▁be ▁replaced ▁by ▁a ▁clean ▁mask ▁at ▁least ▁once ▁daily . ▁See ▁Section ▁6 ▁regarding ▁identifying ▁patients ▁at ▁moderate ▁risk . ▁Moderate ▁concerns ▁about ▁methodological ▁limitations , ▁coherence , ▁adequacy ▁and ▁relevance ▁( all ▁studies ▁only ▁consider ▁H T L V -1) ▁New ▁mothers ▁maintain ▁strong ▁expect ations ▁about ▁the ▁need ▁to ▁breastfeed ▁if ▁they ▁are ▁to ▁form ▁bond s ▁with ▁their ▁baby ▁(2 1 –2 4) ▁Moderate ▁Four ▁studies ▁( three ▁Brazil ▁and ▁one ▁Gu inea ). ▁Remarks ▁This ▁recommendation ▁is ▁consist ent ▁with ▁previous ▁WHO ▁recommendations ▁on ▁protecting , ▁promoting ▁and ▁supporting ▁breastfeeding ▁in ▁facilities ▁providing ▁mater nity ▁and ▁newborn ▁services ▁and ▁on ▁coun se lling ▁women ▁to ▁improve ▁breastfeeding ▁practices . ▁Other ▁considerations ▁Information ▁about ▁MDA ▁should ▁be ▁fully ▁access ible ▁to ▁caregivers , ▁health ▁workers ▁and ▁key ▁stakeholders , ▁such ▁as ▁government ▁officials ▁and ▁religious ▁leaders . ▁None ▁of ▁the ▁studies ▁in ▁the ▁systematic ▁review ▁reported ▁on ▁malaria ▁infection , ▁anaemia , ▁severe ▁malaria , ▁hospital ▁admissions , ▁or ▁death . ▁This ▁review ▁included ▁21 ▁art icles ▁with ▁12 64 ▁women . ▁The ▁use ▁of ▁chemoprevention ▁in ▁occupational ly ▁vul ner able ▁groups , ▁such ▁as ▁forest ▁workers , ▁is ▁considered ▁targeted ▁drug ▁administration ▁( T DA ) ▁and ▁not ▁MDA . ▁The ▁COVID -19 ▁pandemic ▁had ▁numer ous ▁environmental ▁consequences , ▁including ▁impact s ▁on ▁m un icip al ▁waste ▁management ▁systems , ▁changes ▁in ▁consum ption ▁and ▁waste ▁disp osal ▁pattern s . ▁The ▁systematic ▁review ▁also ▁identified ▁three ▁sur ve ys ▁that ▁confirmed ▁the ▁presence ▁of ▁the ▁Zika ▁virus ▁in ▁ser um ▁and ▁sal iva ▁of ▁adult ▁women ▁and ▁men . ▁Women ▁under ▁20 ▁years ▁old ▁were ▁generally ▁the ▁least ▁likely ▁to ▁receive ▁three ▁doses ▁of ▁IPTp - SP , ▁with ▁those ▁between ▁25 ▁and ▁34 ▁most ▁likely ▁to ▁receive ▁IPTp - SP . ▁Certainty ▁of ▁the ▁evidence ▁The ▁overall ▁certainty ▁of ▁evidence ▁for ▁suspected , ▁probable ▁or ▁confirmed ▁Zika ▁virus ▁infection ▁among ▁infants ▁breastfeeding ▁or ▁receiving ▁milk ▁from ▁mothers ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁infection ▁and ▁the ▁presence ▁of ▁Zika ▁virus ▁in ▁the ▁breast - milk ▁of ▁mothers ▁who ▁are ▁acute ly ▁ill ▁with ▁confirmed ▁Zika ▁virus ▁infection ▁was ▁very ▁low ▁(2 9, 42 ). ▁Stud ies ▁conducted ▁in ▁Bur k ina ▁F as o , ▁C ô te ▁d ’ I v o ire , ▁and ▁S ier ra ▁Le one ▁reported ▁that ▁women ▁who ▁lived ▁in ▁rural ▁areas ▁were ▁more ▁likely ▁to ▁take ▁the ▁recommended ▁doses ▁of ▁IPTp - SP , ▁while ▁studies ▁in ▁G hana , ▁Mal aw i ▁and ▁N iger ia ▁reported ▁that ▁urban ▁res idence ▁was ▁associated ▁with ▁higher ▁IPTp - SP ▁u pt ake ▁compared ▁to ▁rural ▁res idence . ▁Practical ▁info ▁Trans mission ▁setting ▁The ▁impact ▁of ▁MDA ▁on ▁disease ▁burden ▁varies ▁between ▁high ▁and ▁low ▁malaria ▁transmission ▁settings . ▁It ▁is ▁important ▁to ▁include ▁data ▁dis ag g reg ated ▁by ▁socio economic ▁variables ▁to ▁understand ▁which ▁groups ▁are ▁more ▁affected ▁or ▁vul ner able ▁to ▁the ▁outbre ak ▁or ▁may ▁need ▁more ▁support ▁for ▁breastfeeding ▁or ▁infant ▁feeding . ▁Evidence ▁to ▁decision ▁Benef its ▁and ▁harms ▁The ▁systematic ▁review ▁[ 99 ] ▁included ▁two ▁RCTs ▁conducted ▁in ▁China ▁and ▁the ▁Republic ▁of ▁Ind ones ia . ▁The ▁GDG ▁concluded ▁that ▁a ▁conditional ▁recommendation ▁should ▁be ▁made ▁for ▁PDMC ▁based ▁on ▁the ▁moderate - ▁to ▁high - certainty ▁evidence ▁of ▁large ▁benef icial ▁effects ▁and ▁likely ▁low ▁costs . ▁The ▁GDG ▁concluded ▁that ▁it ▁was ▁unclear ▁whether ▁PDMC ▁implementation ▁was ▁broad ly ▁feasible , ▁given ▁that ▁there ▁is ▁currently ▁only ▁evidence ▁from ▁three ▁trials , ▁including ▁one ▁implementation ▁study . ▁Therefore , ▁the ▁GDG ▁considered ▁the ▁overall ▁certainty ▁of ▁the ▁evidence ▁for ▁the ▁outcomes ▁of ▁interest ▁to ▁be ▁low . ▁Evidence ▁to ▁decision ▁benefits ▁and ▁harms ▁in ▁patients ▁with ▁non - severe ▁COVID -19 ▁at ▁moderate ▁risk ▁of ▁hospitalization , ▁remdesivir ▁probably ▁results ▁in ▁22 ▁fewer ▁admissions ▁per ▁1000 ▁patients ▁(95 % ▁CI ▁28 ▁fewer ▁to ▁4 ▁fewer ) ▁with ▁probably ▁little ▁or ▁no ▁impact ▁on ▁mortality , ▁mechanical ▁ventilation ▁and ▁time ▁to ▁sympt om ▁resolution . ▁These ▁include ▁the ▁type ▁of ▁mask ▁recommended , ▁personal ▁pre ference ▁and ▁e c ological ▁impact ▁( en vironment al ▁impact ▁and ▁was t em an agement ), ▁members ▁indicated ▁that ▁those ▁individuals ▁at ▁high ▁risk ▁of ▁severe ▁sequ el ae ▁might ▁find ▁more ▁benefit ▁in ▁mask - w earing ▁compared ▁to ▁other ▁individuals . ▁These ▁targets , ▁set ▁for ▁202 5, ▁are ▁vital ▁for ▁identifying ▁priority ▁areas ▁for ▁action ▁and ▁c atal ys ing ▁global ▁change . ▁Ac cept ability ▁The ▁studies ▁included ▁in ▁the ▁systematic ▁review ▁used ▁in ‐ dep th ▁interview s ▁and ▁focus ▁group ▁discussions ▁to ▁assess ▁community ▁accept ance ▁of ▁the ▁intervention . ▁P ublished ▁21 ▁December ▁2023 ▁water , ▁sanitation , ▁hygiene , ▁and ▁waste ▁management ▁back ground ▁the ▁provision ▁of ▁safe ▁water , ▁sanitation ▁and ▁waste ▁management ▁and ▁hygi en ic ▁conditions ▁is ▁essential ▁for ▁protecting ▁human ▁health ▁during ▁all ▁infect ious ▁disease ▁outbre aks , ▁including ▁COVID -19. ▁No ▁evidence ▁was ▁included ▁in ▁the ▁review ▁regarding ▁how ▁feasible ▁it ▁would ▁be ▁to ▁deploy ▁topical ▁repellents . ▁D rug ▁resistance ▁While ▁some ▁prospect ive ▁trials ▁and ▁e c ological ▁studies ▁of ▁SMC ▁with ▁SP + AQ ▁in ▁West ▁Africa ▁have ▁reported ▁increased ▁prevalence ▁of ▁the ▁dh f r / d h ps ▁qu ad ru ple ▁and ▁qu int up le ▁mut ants , ▁other ▁studies ▁have ▁found ▁no ▁evidence ▁of ▁selection . ▁For ▁community - based ▁delivery , ▁caregivers ▁received ▁all ▁courses ▁of ▁PDMC ▁on ▁dis charge , ▁whereas ▁for ▁facility - based ▁delivery , ▁the ▁careg iver ▁had ▁to ▁collect ▁the ▁PDMC ▁drugs ▁from ▁a ▁health ▁facility ▁each ▁month . ▁Follow - up ▁visits ▁should ▁occur ▁at ▁three , ▁nine ▁and ▁24 ▁months ▁of ▁age ▁at ▁a ▁minimum . ▁R ES E AR CH ▁G A PS ▁The ▁Guideline ▁Development ▁Group ▁identified ▁important ▁knowledge ▁gaps ▁that ▁need ▁to ▁be ▁address ed ▁through ▁primary ▁research , ▁which ▁may ▁affect ▁these ▁recommendations . ▁Given ▁the ▁resource ▁const ra int s ▁across ▁malaria ▁endemic ▁countries , ▁it ▁is ▁recommended ▁that ▁effort ▁be ▁foc used ▁on ▁good - qu ality ▁implementation ▁of ▁either ▁ITNs ▁or ▁IRS , ▁rather ▁than ▁deploy ing ▁both ▁in ▁the ▁same ▁area . ▁The ▁ivermectin ▁dose ▁subgroup ▁analyses ▁were ▁performed ▁from ▁the ▁direct ▁comparison ▁of ▁ivermectin ▁versus ▁standard ▁care . ▁In ▁the ▁included ▁studies , ▁nirmatrelvir ritonavir ▁was ▁administered ▁within ▁5 ▁days ▁of ▁sympt om ▁onset . ▁However , ▁the ▁most ▁al arm ing ▁fe ature ▁of ▁Zika ▁virus ▁infection ▁is ▁during ▁pregnancy , ▁with ▁its ▁ability ▁to ▁cause ▁m icro ce ph aly , ▁congenital ▁mal form ations ▁and ▁f etal ▁dem ise . ▁If ▁wor n ▁for ▁extended ▁periods , ▁after ▁contact ▁with ▁cont amin ated ▁surf aces , ▁and ▁when ▁not ▁removed ▁proper ly , ▁glo ves ▁may ▁may ▁contrib ute ▁to ▁cross -

Con tra ind ic ations ▁De pending ▁on ▁the ▁medicine ▁chosen , ▁certain ▁population ▁groups ▁may ▁need ▁to ▁be ▁exclud ed ▁from ▁MDA . ▁E CM O ▁is ▁a ▁resource - int ensive ▁therapy ▁and ▁should ▁be ▁offered ▁only ▁in ▁expert ▁centres ▁with ▁a ▁sufficient ▁case ▁volume ▁to ▁maintain ▁expert ise ▁and ▁staff ▁volume ▁and ▁capacity ▁to ▁apply ▁the ▁IPC ▁measures ▁required . ▁Jan us ▁k in ase ▁in hib itors ▁( up d ated ▁16 ▁September ▁202 2) ▁Inf o ▁Box ▁The ▁recommendation ▁for ▁J A K ▁in hib itors ▁was ▁initially ▁published ▁on ▁14 ▁January ▁202 2, ▁and ▁updated ▁on ▁15 ▁September ▁2022 ▁to ▁reflect ▁that ▁bar ic it inib , ▁I L -6 ▁recept or ▁block ers ▁and ▁corticosteroids ▁may ▁be ▁given ▁together . ▁Consider ing ▁the ▁newly ▁defined ▁risk ▁estimates , ▁the ▁GDG ▁added ▁a ▁recommendation ▁for ▁patients ▁with ▁non - severe ▁COVID -19 ▁at ▁moderate ▁risk ▁for ▁hospitalization . ▁Certainty ▁of ▁evidence ▁was ▁r ated ▁as : ▁moderate ▁for ▁decreased ▁admission ▁to ▁hospital ▁( d ue ▁to ▁serious ▁imprecision ), ▁mortality , ▁and ▁mechanical ▁ventilation ; ▁and ▁very ▁low ▁for ▁adverse ▁effects ▁leading ▁to ▁drug ▁discontin uation . ▁Inc lud ing ▁hom em ade , ▁multi - l ay ered ▁masks ▁( see ▁Practical ▁information ▁for ▁more ▁information ). ▁This ▁reinfor ces ▁that ▁nirmatrelvir - ritonavir ▁should , ▁in ▁many ▁or ▁perhaps ▁most ▁settings , ▁be ▁reserv ed ▁for ▁those ▁at ▁high ▁risk ▁of ▁hospital ▁admission . ▁Summary ▁evidence ▁summary ▁the ▁L N MA ▁for ▁VV 116 ▁was ▁informed ▁by ▁one ▁RCT ▁which ▁enrolled ▁8 22 ▁patients ▁with ▁non - severe ▁illness . ▁Eval u ate ▁new ▁tools ▁for ▁monitoring ▁the ▁quality ▁of ▁IRS ▁and ▁ITN ▁interventions . ▁If ▁masks ▁are ▁widely ▁available , ▁using ▁masks ▁could ▁improve ▁equity ▁by ▁reducing ▁the ▁risk ▁of ▁transmission ▁overall , ▁including ▁among ▁socio econ om ically ▁dis ad vant aged ▁groups ▁more ▁affected ▁by ▁COVID -19. ▁There ▁may ▁be ▁little ▁or ▁no ▁difference ▁in ▁admission ▁to ▁hospital ▁between ▁remdesivir ▁and ▁nirmatrelvir - ritonavir . ▁Primary ▁caregivers ▁and ▁parents ▁of ▁infants ▁with ▁complications ▁associated ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁may ▁also ▁have ▁other ▁social , ▁education ▁and ▁financial ▁challeng es ▁that ▁could ▁impact ▁growth ▁and ▁development ▁outcomes ▁among ▁their ▁children . ▁A ▁recent ▁study ▁suggests ▁that ▁in ▁adults ▁65 ▁years ▁or ▁older ▁a ▁M AP ▁60 – 65 ▁mm H g ▁target ▁is ▁equivalent ▁to ▁ ≥ ▁65 ▁mm H g . ▁For ▁example , ▁if ▁individuals ▁are ▁encouraged ▁to ▁scre en ▁houses ▁themselves , ▁equity ▁may ▁be ▁reduced . ▁Values ▁and ▁preferences ▁Pre ferences ▁and ▁values ▁of ▁the ▁target ▁population ▁were ▁determined ▁by : ▁consult ation ▁with ▁civil ▁society , ▁which ▁indicated ▁that ▁chemoprevention ▁to ▁prevent ▁malaria ▁disease ▁in ▁children ▁under ▁5 ▁years ▁was ▁seen ▁as ▁a ▁priority ▁in ▁endemic ▁areas , ▁although ▁there ▁was ▁no ▁specific ▁mention ▁of ▁the ▁need ▁during ▁the ▁post - dis charge ▁period ▁( C S 4 ME ▁unpublished ▁evidence ); ▁a ▁synt hesis ▁of ▁contextual ▁factors ▁from ▁trials ▁of ▁PDMC ▁in ▁sub - S aharan ▁Africa ▁( L ange ▁et ▁al ▁unpublished ▁evidence ). ▁In ▁areas ▁with ▁other ▁endemic ▁infections ▁that ▁cause ▁fever , ▁such ▁as ▁malaria , ▁d engue , ▁t u ber c ul osis ▁( TB ) ▁etc ., ▁as ▁part ▁of ▁screening , ▁fe br ile ▁patients ▁should ▁be ▁tested ▁as ▁per ▁routine ▁protoc ols ▁, ▁ir res pective ▁of ▁the ▁presence ▁of ▁respiratory ▁signs ▁and ▁symptoms . ▁Mal aria ▁programmes ▁should ▁assess ▁the ▁su it ability ▁of ▁SMC ▁based ▁on ▁the ▁local ▁malaria ▁epidemi ology ▁and ▁available ▁funding . ▁A ccess ▁to ▁testing ▁for ▁rapid ▁identification ▁of ▁cases ▁and ▁active ▁sur veillance ▁of ▁health ▁work er ▁infections ▁were ▁critical ▁during ▁periods ▁of ▁increased ▁SARS - CoV -2 ▁transmission . ▁UN IC E F ▁and ▁WHO ▁lead ▁the ▁a ▁G lobal ▁Bre ast feeding ▁Col lect ive ▁to ▁increase ▁political ▁commit ment ▁for ▁breastfeeding ▁– ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁smart est ▁invest ments ▁a ▁country ▁can ▁make . ▁The ▁benefits ▁of ▁breastfeeding ▁or ▁of ▁feeding ▁breast - milk ▁( any ▁or ▁exclusive ) ▁from ▁a ▁lactating ▁woman ▁infected ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁( s us pected , ▁probable ▁or ▁confirmed ) ▁compared ▁with ▁not ▁breastfeeding ▁among ▁infants ▁and ▁not ▁infected ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁far ▁outwe igh ▁the ▁potential ▁harm . ▁Two ▁of ▁these ▁reviews ▁(2 9, 30) ▁included ▁case ▁reports ▁and ▁case ▁series ▁in ▁which ▁Zika ▁virus ▁was ▁det ected ▁in ▁human ▁milk . ▁Cred ible ▁interval ▁includes ▁a ▁large ▁benefit ▁for ▁remdesivir ▁relative ▁to ▁molnupiravir . ▁The ▁GDG ▁made ▁a ▁conditional ▁recommendation ▁in ▁favour ▁of ▁standard ▁th rom b op ro phylaxis ▁d osing ▁of ▁ant ico ag ulation ▁in ▁patients ▁with ▁COVID -19 ▁who ▁do ▁not ▁have ▁an ▁established ▁indic ation ▁for ▁higher ▁dose ▁ant ico ag ulation .. ▁The ▁most ▁common ▁adverse ▁events ▁were ▁d iz z iness , ▁n ause a ▁and ▁v om iting ▁short ly ▁after ▁treatment . ▁Remarks : ▁In ▁the ▁absence ▁of ▁a ▁lact ate ▁measurement , ▁use ▁blood ▁pressure ▁( i . e . ▁M AP ) ▁and ▁clinical ▁signs ▁of ▁perf usion ▁to ▁def ine ▁sh ock . ▁The ▁post - inter vention ▁period ▁started ▁the ▁day ▁after ▁the ▁comple tion ▁of ▁the ▁intervention ▁period ▁and ▁continued ▁up ▁to ▁26 ▁weeks . ▁There ▁is ▁little ▁evidence ▁on ▁pr one ▁position ing ▁in ▁pregnant ▁women ▁with ▁A R DS ; ▁this ▁could ▁be ▁considered ▁in ▁early ▁pregnancy . ▁In ▁patients ▁who ▁cannot ▁sw all ow ▁table ts , ▁bar ic it inib ▁can ▁be ▁crushed , ▁disp ers ed ▁in ▁water , ▁and ▁given ▁via ▁a ▁n as og ast ric ▁t ub e . ▁Con tra ind ic ations ▁IPTp ▁is ▁not ▁recommended ▁for ▁pregnant ▁women ▁before ▁week ▁13 ▁of ▁pregnancy , ▁or ▁those ▁with ▁severe ▁acute ▁illness , ▁or ▁who ▁are ▁unable ▁to ▁take ▁oral ▁medic ation , ▁or ▁women ▁who ▁during ▁the ▁last ▁30 ▁days ▁received ▁a ▁dose ▁of ▁any ▁of ▁the ▁drugs ▁being ▁used ▁for ▁IPTp , ▁or ▁those ▁all erg ic ▁to ▁any ▁of ▁the ▁components ▁of ▁SP . ▁High ▁doses ▁(2 50 ▁mg / kg ) ▁of ▁un bo ost ed ▁nirmatrelvir ▁also ▁had ▁efficacy ▁in ▁SARS - CoV -2 - inf ected ▁sy rian ▁gold en ▁h am st ers ▁but ▁no ▁pharmac ok inet ic ▁data ▁are ▁available ▁in ▁this ▁species . ▁Children ▁were ▁referred ▁for ▁end ocr in ological ▁evaluation ▁between ▁February ▁and ▁August ▁2019. ▁The ▁variability ▁observed ▁in ▁this ▁activity ▁may ▁be ▁explained ▁by ▁the ▁fat ▁comp osition ▁of ▁milk , ▁which ▁also ▁varies ▁among ▁women . ▁Some ▁mothers ▁reported ▁that ▁the ▁lack ▁of ▁knowledge ▁and ▁support ▁from ▁mid wives , ▁and ▁health ▁visitors ▁led ▁them ▁to ▁choose ▁not ▁to ▁access ▁these ▁services ▁or ▁to ▁approach ▁these ▁staff ▁members ▁for ▁advice ▁or ▁support . ▁IPTp - SP ▁also ▁reduced ▁maternal ▁anaemia ▁in ▁areas ▁with ▁P f P R 2 -10 ▁< ▁3 % ▁( risk ▁ratio : ▁0.9 1; ▁95% ▁CI : ▁0.8 5 –0 .9 7 ). ▁R ou te , ▁d os age ▁and ▁duration : ▁additional ▁considerations ▁are ▁available ▁in ▁three ▁summ aries ▁of ▁practical ▁issues ▁( n irmatrelvir ritonavir ▁for ▁COVID -19, ▁administration ▁of ▁nirmatrelvir - ritonavir ▁for ▁COVID -19, ▁safety ▁and ▁monitoring ▁for ▁patients ▁receiving n irmatrelvir - ritonavir ▁for ▁COVID -19 ), ▁here ▁follows ▁a ▁brief ▁summary ▁of ▁key ▁points : ▁the ▁recommended ▁dose ▁for ▁nirmatrelvir - ritonavir ▁is ▁300 ▁mg ▁( two ▁150 ▁mg ▁table ts ) ▁of ▁nirmatrelvir ▁and ▁100 ▁mg ▁of ▁rit onavir ▁every ▁12 ▁hours ▁daily ▁for ▁5 ▁days , ▁as ▁per ▁the ▁reg imen ▁evaluated ▁in ▁large ▁trials ▁inform ing ▁the ▁recommendation . ▁P ublished ▁13 ▁January ▁2023 ▁Practical ▁info ▁Implementation ▁considerations ▁The ▁implementation ▁and ▁adjust ment ▁of ▁policies ▁on ▁mask ▁use ▁should ▁be ▁based ▁on ▁available ▁scientific ▁data ▁and ▁a ▁risk / b enef it ▁approach ▁that ▁cons iders ▁the ▁local ▁epidemi ology , ▁the ▁health ▁system ’ s ▁capacity ▁to ▁respond , ▁and ▁other ▁contextual ▁considerations ▁( ev ents ▁that ▁may ▁al ter ▁community ▁transmission ▁or ▁the ▁health ▁system ’ s ▁capacity ▁to ▁respond ▁to ▁a ▁res urg ence ▁of ▁cases ). ▁In ▁re nal ▁insu ffic iency ▁( g lom er ular ▁f ilt ration ▁rate ▁[ G F R ] ▁30 – 59 ▁m L / min ) ▁the ▁dose ▁should ▁be ▁reduced ▁to ▁150 ▁mg ▁of ▁nirmatrelvir ▁and ▁100 ▁mg ▁of ▁rit onavir ▁every ▁12 ▁hours ▁daily ▁for ▁5 ▁days . ▁However , ▁a ▁study ▁done ▁in ▁a ▁sub set ▁of ▁children ▁enrolled ▁in ▁five ▁randomized ▁controlled ▁trials ▁in ▁G hana , ▁K en ya , ▁Mo z amb ique ▁and ▁the ▁United ▁Republic ▁of ▁T anz ania ▁found ▁that ▁PMC ▁with ▁SP ▁did ▁not ▁affect ▁the ▁ser ological ▁response ▁to ▁E PI ▁vaccines ▁The ▁study ▁did ▁not ▁en rol ▁children , ▁pregnant ▁individuals , ▁or ▁patients ▁with ▁severe ▁or ▁critical ▁illness . ▁Hospital ▁admissions : ▁SMC ▁probably ▁reduces ▁the ▁incidence ▁of ▁all - cause ▁hospitalization ▁in ▁children ▁< 5 ▁years ▁in ▁high - t r ans mission ▁areas ▁( SP + AQ , ▁high - t r ans mission , ▁3 – 4 ▁cy cles : ▁rate ▁ratio : ▁0.5 4; ▁95% ▁CI : ▁0 .31 –0 .9 4; ▁high certainty ▁evidence ; ▁AS - AQ , ▁5 – 6 ▁cy cles : ▁rate ▁ratio : ▁0.4 2; ▁95% ▁CI : ▁0 .20 –0 .8 7; ▁high - certainty ▁evidence ; ▁SP + AQ , ▁3 – 4 cy cles : ▁rate ▁ratio : ▁1.3 8; ▁95% ▁CI : ▁0.7 1 –2 .6 7; ▁moderate - certainty ▁evidence ). A ll - cause ▁mortality : ▁There ▁is ▁little ▁evidence ▁of ▁effect ▁of ▁SMC ▁on ▁all - cause ▁mortality ▁in ▁the ▁community ▁( low certainty ▁evidence ). ▁However , ▁the ▁data ▁were ▁not ▁sufficient ▁to ▁conclud e ▁transmission ▁via ▁breastfeeding . ▁Among ▁infants ▁not ▁infected ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁( P ), ▁does ▁breastfeeding ▁( any ▁or ▁exclusive ) ▁or ▁feeding ▁of ▁breast milk ▁from ▁a ▁lactating ▁woman ▁infected ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁( I ), ▁compared ▁with ▁not ▁breastfeeding ▁( C ), ▁increase ▁the ▁risk ▁of ▁Zika ▁virus ▁transmission ▁to ▁the ▁infant ▁( O ) ? ▁PMC ▁is ▁not ▁recommended ▁in ▁children ▁with ▁severe ▁acute ▁illness ▁or ▁those ▁who ▁are ▁unable ▁to ▁take ▁oral ▁medic ation , ▁children ▁who ▁during ▁the ▁last ▁30 ▁days ▁received ▁a ▁dose ▁of ▁any ▁of ▁the ▁drugs ▁being ▁used ▁for ▁PMC , ▁or ▁those ▁all erg ic ▁to ▁any ▁of ▁the ▁drugs ▁being ▁used ▁for ▁PMC . ▁In ▁settings ▁where ▁PMC ▁is ▁being ▁provided , ▁IPTsc ▁may ▁need ▁to ▁be ▁given ▁at ▁regular ▁intervals ▁throughout ▁the ▁year . ▁The ▁other ▁case ▁also ▁breast f ed ▁her ▁infant ▁(10 – 11 mon th s ▁old ) ▁during ▁the ▁sympt om atic ▁maternal ▁period , ▁and ▁the ▁infant ▁was ▁as y mpt om atic ▁and ▁negative ▁for ▁Z ik avir us . ▁In ▁fact , ▁in ▁some ▁cases , ▁their ▁construction ▁may ▁result ▁in ▁increased ▁lar val ▁production ▁due ▁to ▁the ▁creation ▁of ▁standing ▁water ▁bodies . ▁D osing ▁should ▁be ▁adjusted ▁according ▁to ▁body ▁weight / B MI ▁and ▁re nal ▁function ▁according ▁to ▁local ▁protoc ols . ▁The ▁table ▁below , ▁compiled ▁by ▁the ▁GDG , ▁l ists ▁resources ▁that ▁should ▁be ▁considered . ▁As ▁the ▁pandemic ▁ev ol ves , ▁and ▁similar ▁to ▁other ▁COVID -19 ▁interventions , ▁there ▁is ▁ongoing ▁uncertainty ▁related ▁to ▁the ▁effect ▁of ▁remdesivir ▁based ▁on ▁variants ▁and ▁individual ▁imm une ▁status . ▁The ▁initi ative ▁aim s ▁to ▁increase ▁early ▁init iation , ▁exclusive ▁breastfeeding ▁for ▁the ▁first ▁six ▁months ▁of ▁life ▁and ▁continued ▁breastfeeding ▁for ▁up ▁to ▁two ▁years ▁or ▁beyond , ▁together ▁with ▁appropriate , ▁adequate ▁and ▁safe ▁comp lementary ▁food s . ▁However , ▁in ▁transl ating ▁this ▁evidence ▁into ▁a ▁recommendation ▁strength , ▁the ▁GDG ▁concluded ▁that ▁the ▁recommendation ▁should ▁be ▁conditional ▁due ▁to ▁the ▁low - ▁to ▁moderate - certainty ▁evidence ▁and ▁based ▁on ▁a ▁number ▁of ▁contextual ▁factors . ▁The ▁mar g inal ▁benefits ▁of ▁molnupiravir ▁for ▁patients ▁at ▁low ▁risk ▁of ▁hospitalization ▁( th ose ▁expected ▁to ▁have ▁a ▁0 .5% ▁risk ▁of h ospital ▁admission ) ▁suggest ▁most ▁patients ▁would ▁not ▁want ▁to ▁use ▁this ▁treatment . ▁Remarks : ▁Patients ▁with ▁m ild ▁and ▁moderate ▁illness ▁may ▁not ▁require ▁emergency ▁interventions ▁or ▁hospitalization ; ▁however , ▁is ol ation ▁is ▁necessary ▁for ▁all ▁suspect ▁or ▁confirmed ▁cases ▁to ▁cont ain ▁virus ▁transmission . ▁L ar viciding ▁should ▁not ▁be ▁seen ▁as ▁a ▁substitute ▁for ▁ITNs ▁or ▁IRS ▁or ▁a ▁means ▁to ▁fill ▁a ▁coverage ▁g ap ▁in ▁areas ▁with ▁significant ▁malaria ▁risk ; ▁rather , ▁larviciding ▁rep res ents ▁a ▁potential ▁supplementary ▁strategy ▁for ▁malaria ▁control . ▁Es pecially ▁for ▁crit ically ▁ill ▁patients , ▁the ▁early ▁involve ment ▁of ▁the ▁mult id isc ip lin ary ▁rehabilitation ▁team ▁is ▁par am ount ▁to ▁improve ▁short - ▁and ▁long - term ▁outcomes . ▁Patients ▁on ▁war f ar in ▁require ▁monitoring ▁of ▁international ▁normal ized ▁ratio . ▁Cle an ▁surf aces ▁with ▁so ap ▁and ▁water ▁or ▁a ▁regular ▁household ▁det erg ent ▁to ▁remove ▁many ▁g erm s , ▁d irt , ▁and ▁other ▁sub st ances . ▁Sub group ▁analyses ▁There ▁were ▁insufficient ▁data ▁based ▁on ▁the ▁presented ▁data ▁to ▁perform ▁any ▁subgroup ▁analyses . ▁The ▁indirect ▁evidence ▁suggesting ▁a ▁reduction ▁in ▁mortality ▁with ▁ivermectin ▁is ▁dri ven ▁almost ▁entire ly ▁by ▁one ▁study ▁which ▁is ▁at ▁high ▁risk ▁of ▁bias ▁due ▁to ▁a ▁lack ▁of ▁detailed ▁des cript ion ▁of ▁blind ing ▁or ▁random ization ▁and ▁the ▁lack ▁of ▁a ▁public ly ▁available ▁study ▁protoc ol . ▁When ▁moving ▁from ▁evidence ▁to ▁a ▁strong ▁recommendation ▁against ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁ivermectin ▁in ▁patients ▁with ▁COVID -19, ▁the ▁GDG ▁emphasized ▁the ▁very ▁low ▁lik eli hood ▁of ▁benefit ▁given ▁both ▁the ▁evidence ▁from ▁randomized ▁trials ▁and ▁the ▁lack ▁of ▁bi ological ▁basis ▁for ▁any ▁effect ▁of ▁ivermectin ▁on ▁the ▁virus , ▁combined ▁with ▁probable ▁( alth ough ▁mod est ) ▁harm ▁associated ▁with ▁treatment . ▁The ▁GDG ▁noted ▁that ▁the ▁cost - effectiveness ▁of ▁deploy ing ▁IRS ▁is ▁likely ▁to ▁vary ▁depending ▁on ▁the ▁malaria ▁transmission ▁level ▁in ▁the ▁area ▁of ▁deployment ▁and ▁other ▁contextual ▁factors . ▁The ▁GDG ▁considered ▁PDMC ▁to ▁probably ▁be ▁accept able ▁to ▁key ▁stakeholders . ▁This ▁estimate ▁adjusted ▁for ▁50% ▁receiving ▁corticosteroids ▁as ▁standard ▁of ▁care ▁in ▁S OL I DA RI T Y . ▁The ▁review ▁was ▁expanded ▁to ▁include ▁other ▁diseases ▁in ▁an ▁attempt ▁to ▁understand ▁the ▁context ▁of ▁the ▁Zika ▁virus . ▁For ▁mortality ▁( and ign oring ▁the ▁concerns ▁related ▁to ▁risk ▁of ▁bias ▁discussed ▁above ), ▁there ▁were ▁nine ▁deaths ▁across ▁all ▁5 11 ▁patients ▁randomized ▁to ivermectin ▁(1 .76 %) ▁and ▁22 ▁deaths ▁across ▁all ▁40 4 ▁patients ▁randomized ▁to ▁standard ▁care ▁(5 .4 5 %). ▁Se vere ▁anaemia ▁is ▁defined ▁by ▁WHO ’ s ▁H aem og lob in ▁concent r ations ▁for ▁the ▁diagnosis ▁of ▁anaemia ▁and ▁assessment ▁of ▁severity ▁. ▁Please ▁see ▁Table ▁7 .2 ▁for ▁information ▁on ▁defin itions ▁of ▁who ▁would ▁be ▁considered ▁high - risk ▁for ▁this ▁implementation . ▁H ist or ically , ▁MDA ▁has ▁been ▁given ▁either ▁to ▁reduce ▁malaria ▁disease ▁burden ▁or ▁to ▁reduce ▁malaria ▁transmission . ▁Re ad ers ▁interested ▁in ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁antimalarial ▁ag ents ▁to ▁prevent ▁malaria ▁in ▁people ▁travelling ▁from ▁non - end emic ▁settings ▁to ▁areas ▁of ▁malaria ▁transmission ▁are ▁dire cted ▁to ▁the ▁WHO ▁International ▁travel ▁and ▁health ▁guidance ▁[ 2 ]. ▁In ▁one ▁study , ▁93 % ▁of ▁children ▁reported ▁that ▁they ▁would ▁be ▁willing ▁or ▁very ▁willing ▁to ▁take ▁the ▁table ts ▁for ▁IPTsc ▁each ▁school ▁term ▁. ▁Care g ivers ▁felt ▁that ▁the ▁instructions ▁on ▁PDMC ▁administration ▁written ▁on ▁the ▁child ’ s ▁health ▁card ▁were ▁sufficient ▁without ▁remind ers ▁via ▁text ▁message ▁or ▁from ▁community ▁health ▁workers ▁( CH W s ). ▁Resources ▁and ▁other ▁considerations ▁The ▁degree ▁of ▁py reth roid ▁resistance ▁and ▁its ▁impact ▁on ▁the ▁effectiveness ▁of ▁py reth roid - on ly ▁ITNs ▁should ▁be ▁considered . ▁The ▁main ▁outcomes ▁of ▁interest ▁were ▁the ▁impact ▁of ▁PDMC ▁on ▁re - ad mission ▁( all - cause ▁and severe ▁anaemia ), ▁mortality ▁( all - cause ), ▁severe ▁anaemia , ▁and ▁blood ▁transf usion . O ther ▁outcomes ▁of ▁interest ▁included ▁confirmed ▁clinical ▁malaria , ▁severe ▁malaria , ▁anaemia , ▁adverse ▁events , ▁and ▁parasite ▁prevalence . ▁Jud gment ▁and ▁policy ▁may ▁include ▁eth ical ▁considerations ▁regarding ▁allocation ▁of ▁resources . ▁Moderate ▁concerns ▁about ▁adequacy ▁because ▁there ▁are ▁three ▁studies ▁and ▁about ▁relevance ▁because ▁these ▁studies ▁were ▁conducted ▁in ▁a ▁particular ▁socio economic ▁context ▁( A ust ral ia ▁and ▁the ▁United ▁Kingdom ) ▁Training ▁can ▁alle vi ate ▁concerns ▁with ▁ch oking ▁and ▁position ing ▁may ▁avoid ▁risk ▁of ▁v om iting ▁(1 0, 1 2, 1 3, 15, 16 ) ▁Moderate ▁confidence ▁Five ▁studies ▁with ▁minor ▁concerns ▁about ▁coherence , ▁and ▁minor ▁or ▁moderate ▁methodological ▁limitations . ▁Pe rennial ▁malaria ▁chemoprevention ▁( P MC ) ▁- ▁former ly ▁inter mittent ▁preventive ▁treatment ▁of ▁malaria ▁in ▁infants ▁( IPT i ) ▁conditional ▁recommendation ▁for ▁, ▁moderate ▁certainty ▁evidence ▁perennial ▁malaria ▁chemoprevention ▁in ▁areas ▁of ▁moderate ▁to ▁high ▁perennial ▁malaria ▁transmission , ▁children ▁belonging ▁to ▁age ▁groups ▁at ▁high ▁risk ▁of ▁severe ▁malaria ▁can ▁be ▁given ▁antimalarial ▁medicines ▁at ▁pred e f ined ▁intervals ▁to ▁reduce ▁disease ▁burden . ▁T ri als ▁admin ister ing ▁three ▁to ▁four ▁cy cles ▁were ▁usually ▁located ▁in ▁the ▁sites ▁with ▁sh or ter ▁transmission ▁se asons , ▁whereas ▁studies ▁admin ister ing ▁five ▁to ▁six ▁cy cles ▁were ▁in ▁areas ▁with ▁longer ▁transmission ▁se asons . ▁These ▁should ▁be ▁performed ▁only ▁if ▁de em ed ▁med ically ▁appropriate ▁and ▁appropriate ▁IPC ▁measures ▁are ▁in ▁place . ▁As ▁with ▁all ▁health ▁interventions , ▁cons ent ▁should ▁be ▁obtained ▁from ▁the ▁careg iver ▁on ▁beh alf ▁of ▁the ▁child ▁prior ▁to ▁administration ▁of ▁SMC . ▁The ▁sources ▁and ▁risks ▁of ▁res idual ▁transmission ▁may ▁vary ▁by ▁loc ation , ▁time ▁and ▁the ▁existing ▁components ▁of ▁the ▁current ▁malaria ▁programme . ▁D OT ▁was ▁generally , ▁but ▁not ▁always , ▁associated ▁with ▁improved ▁u pt ake ▁of ▁IPTp - SP . ▁Practical ▁info ▁If ▁house ▁screening ▁is ▁being ▁considered ▁as ▁a ▁means ▁to ▁prevent ▁malaria , ▁it ▁is ▁important ▁to ▁identify ▁who ▁the ▁end - us er ▁will ▁be ▁and ▁how ▁the ▁intervention ▁will ▁be ▁implemented , ▁i . e . ▁whether ▁screening ▁of ▁houses ▁will ▁be ▁a ▁tool ▁that ▁the ▁programme ▁promot es ▁for ▁individuals ▁or ▁communities ▁to ▁implement ▁at ▁their ▁own ▁cost , ▁or ▁whether ▁it ▁will ▁be ▁undert aken ▁as ▁a ▁program m atic ▁initi ative . ▁If ▁older ▁age ▁groups ▁are ▁included ▁in ▁IPTsc ▁administration , ▁communication ▁with ▁key ▁stakeholders ▁should ▁pay ▁attention ▁to ▁the ▁inc lusion ▁of ▁girls ▁of ▁reproductive ▁age ▁( see ▁‘ A ge ▁group ’ ab ove ). D rug ▁resistance ▁The ▁impact ▁of ▁drug ▁resistance ▁on ▁the ▁protection ▁provided ▁by ▁IPTsc ▁is ▁currently ▁unclear . ▁Management ▁of ▁critical ▁COVID -19 : ▁acute ▁respiratory ▁dist ress ▁syndrome ▁( AR DS ) ▁The ▁mortality ▁in ▁hospital ized ▁and ▁crit ically ▁ill ▁patients ▁has ▁var ied ▁substant ially ▁in ▁different ▁case ▁series ▁throughout ▁the ▁pandemic . ▁When ▁single ▁rooms ▁are ▁not ▁available ▁or ▁bed ▁occup ancy ▁rate ▁is ▁ant icip ated ▁to ▁be ▁100% ▁or ▁more , ▁suspected , ▁probable ▁or ▁confirmed ▁COVID -19 ▁patients ▁should ▁be ▁group ed ▁together ▁( coh ort ed ) ▁in ▁adequ ately ▁vent ilated ▁areas ▁with ▁bed ▁space ▁at ▁least ▁1 ▁m ▁apart . ▁The ▁scientific ▁evidence ▁appears ▁to ▁suggest ▁that ▁infant ▁feeding ▁decisions ▁are ▁typically ▁made ▁in ▁a ▁context ▁in ▁which ▁individual , ▁family ▁and ▁community ▁values ▁and ▁preferences ▁ex ert ▁consider able ▁influence . ▁Implementation ▁A ▁guide ▁to ▁support ▁implementation ▁of ▁PDMC ▁will ▁be ▁developed ▁in ▁due ▁course , ▁and ▁a ▁man ual ▁for ▁sub n ational ▁tail oring ▁of ▁malaria ▁interventions ▁is ▁under ▁development ▁and ▁expected ▁for ▁public ation ▁in ▁2023 . ▁Supp ort ing ▁re ferences : ▁The ▁GDG ▁decided ▁the ▁cred ible ▁intervals ▁war r anted ▁d ow ng r ading ▁only ▁once ▁for ▁imprecision . ▁Em erg ence ▁of ▁new ▁variants : ▁It ▁has ▁been ▁proposed ▁that ▁random ▁mut ag enes is ▁ar ising ▁from ▁the ▁molnupiravir ▁mechanism ▁of ▁action ▁might ▁increase ▁d iversity ▁in ▁the ▁viral ▁sequ ences ▁that ▁may ▁result ▁in ▁more ▁rapid ▁emergence ▁of ▁new ▁variants ▁or ▁res istant ▁variants . ▁Remarks : ▁For ▁suspected ▁and ▁confirmed ▁COVID -19 ▁patients , ▁contact ▁and ▁dro ple t ▁or ▁air bor ne ▁prec a utions ▁should ▁be ▁applied ▁depending ▁on ▁activity ▁to ▁be ▁undert aken . ▁In ▁adults , ▁techniques ▁such ▁as ▁position ing , ▁e . g . ▁high ▁supported ▁sit ting , ▁may ▁help ▁to ▁opt im ize ▁oxygen ation , ▁ease ▁breath less ness ▁and ▁reduce ▁energy ▁expenditure . ▁Su fficient ▁data ▁were ▁un av ail able ▁to ▁inform ▁any ▁of ▁the ▁pre - spec ified ▁subgroup ▁analyses . ▁A ▁safe ▁environment ▁should ▁be ▁created ▁for ▁children ▁who ▁are ▁not ▁able ▁to ▁to l erate ▁a ▁mask , ▁including ▁requirements ▁for ▁caregivers , ▁teachers ▁or ▁other ▁adults ▁to ▁wear ▁a ▁mask ▁when ▁inter act ing ▁with ▁the ▁child ▁and ▁to ▁be ▁vacc inated ▁against ▁COVID -19 ▁according ▁to ▁national ▁vaccination ▁policies . ▁There ▁were ▁no ▁deaths ▁in ▁the ▁trial . ▁The ▁belong ings ▁of ▁the ▁dece ased ▁person ▁do ▁not ▁need ▁to ▁be ▁burned ▁or ▁other wise ▁disp osed ▁of . ▁In ▁the ▁trials ▁included ▁in ▁the ▁systematic ▁review , ▁research ▁teams ▁deployed ▁screening ▁at ▁the ▁community ▁level ▁and , ▁as ▁a ▁result , ▁there ▁is ▁currently ▁no ▁evidence ▁as ▁to ▁the ▁benefits ▁and ▁harms ▁of ▁individuals ▁or ▁communities ▁deploy ing ▁scre ens ▁themselves . ▁As ▁of ▁July ▁2019, ▁87 ▁countries ▁and ▁territories ▁in ▁the ▁sub t ro p ical ▁and ▁tro p ical ▁areas ▁have ▁reported ▁evidence ▁of ▁mosquito - t r ans mitted ▁Zika ▁virus ▁infection . ▁G aps ▁in ▁knowledge ▁and ▁research ▁needs ▁Invest ig ations ▁into ▁the ▁benefits ▁and ▁harms ▁of ▁masks ▁and ▁their ▁util ization ▁in ▁the ▁community ▁setting ▁are ▁ongoing ▁and ▁published ▁work ▁has ▁identified ▁this ▁need ▁for ▁continued ▁research . ▁Resources ▁and ▁other ▁considerations ▁Is s ues ▁related ▁to ▁resources , ▁acceptability ▁and ▁feasibility ▁are ▁out l ined ▁in ▁the ▁section ▁on ▁remdesivir ▁for ▁use ▁in ▁patients ▁with ▁COVID -19 ▁at ▁high ▁risk ▁of ▁hospitalization ▁and ▁also ▁apply ▁to ▁patients ▁at ▁low ▁risk . ▁For ▁any ▁activity ▁that ▁may ▁involve ▁the ▁sp l ash ing ▁of ▁body ▁flu ids , ▁eye ▁and ▁mouth ▁protection , ▁i . e . ▁face ▁sh ield / g og g les ▁and ▁medical ▁mask , ▁are ▁recommended . ▁The ▁last ▁review ▁included ▁seven ▁observational ▁studies ▁( one ▁co h ort ▁and ▁six ▁case ▁reports ). ▁Pati ent ▁or ▁population : ▁Bre ast feeding ▁children ▁from ▁women ▁with ▁suspected , ▁probable ▁or ▁confirmed ▁Zika ▁virus ▁infection ▁S et ting : ▁Are as ▁of ▁Zika ▁virus ▁transmission ▁Inter vention : ▁Children ▁breastfeed ▁from ▁a ▁woman ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁infection ▁Com par ison : ▁Not ▁breastfeeding ▁children ▁Number ▁of ▁participants ▁( st ud ies ) ▁Certainty ▁of ▁the ▁evidence ▁( G RADE ) ▁Conf irmed ▁Zika ▁virus ▁infection ▁among ▁children ▁breastfeeding ▁from ▁a ▁woman ▁with ▁suspected , ▁probable ▁or ▁confirmed ▁Zika ▁virus ▁infection ▁7 ▁(3 ▁observational ▁studies ) ▁ ⊕ ⊝ ⊝ ⊝ ▁V ER Y ▁L O W a ▁Three ▁studies ▁provided ▁evidence . ▁Three ▁studies ▁reported ▁more ▁adverse ▁events ▁in ▁the ▁intervention ▁group . ▁This ▁science -

CoV -2 ▁antib ody ▁tests ▁are ▁not ▁recommended ▁for ▁diagnosis ▁of ▁current ▁infection ▁with ▁COVID -19. ▁Bal ance ▁of ▁effects ▁The ▁balance ▁between ▁des irable ▁and ▁undesirable ▁effects ▁fav ours ▁the ▁additional ▁support ▁for ▁caregivers ▁of ▁infant ▁for ▁improving ▁infant ▁feeding ▁among ▁those ▁affected ▁by ▁complications ▁associated ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁compared ▁with ▁no ▁additional ▁support ▁or ▁standard ▁care . ▁This ▁despite ▁the ▁fact ▁that ▁VV 116 ▁does ▁not ▁seem ▁to ▁be ▁associated ▁with ▁increased ▁adverse ▁effects . ▁Other ▁considerations ▁Information ▁about ▁IPTp ▁should ▁be ▁fully ▁access ible ▁to ▁pregnant ▁women . ▁De pending ▁on ▁the ▁approach , ▁the ▁resources ▁needed , ▁feasibility , ▁u pt ake ▁and ▁impact ▁on ▁equity ▁may ▁vary ▁and ▁would ▁need ▁to ▁be ▁considered . ▁It ▁was ▁proposed ▁that ▁it ▁may ▁be ▁more ▁appropriate ▁in ▁some ▁circum st ances ▁for ▁caregivers ▁to ▁wear ▁mask ▁when ▁inter act ing ▁with ▁the ▁child . ▁Additional ▁criteria : ▁The ▁non - med ical ▁mask , ▁including ▁all ▁components ▁and ▁pack aging , ▁must ▁be ▁non - haz ard ous , ▁non - to xic ▁and ▁child - friend ly ▁( i . e . ▁has ▁no ▁exp osed ▁sharp ▁ed ges , ▁prot r ud ing ▁hard w are ▁or ▁r ough ▁materials ). ▁Such ▁management ▁of ▁water ▁bodies ▁is ▁conducted ▁to ▁prevent ▁the ▁development ▁of ▁the ▁imm ature ▁st ages ▁( e gg s , ▁lar va e ▁and ▁p up ae ) ▁and ▁hence ▁the ▁production ▁of ▁adult ▁mosquit oes , ▁with ▁the ▁overall ▁aim ▁of ▁preventing ▁or ▁contro lling ▁transmission ▁of ▁malaria . ▁The ▁pre - se lected ▁expert ▁GDG ▁con ven ed ▁in ▁online ▁meetings ▁on ▁18 ▁May ▁2023 ▁and ▁22 ▁June ▁2023 ▁to ▁address ▁new ▁and ▁old ▁data ▁for ▁the ▁ant ivir als ▁molnupiravir , ▁nirmatrelvir - ritonavir , ▁remdesivir ▁and ▁VV 116 . ▁Resources ▁and ▁other ▁considerations ▁Such ▁clothing ▁may ▁be ▁benef icial ▁as ▁a ▁tool ▁to ▁provide ▁personal ▁protection ▁against ▁malaria ▁in ▁specific ▁population ▁groups ▁( re f uge es , ▁military ▁person nel ). ▁Values ▁and ▁preferences ▁applying ▁the ▁agreed ▁values ▁and ▁preferences , ▁the ▁GDG ▁inf er red ▁that ▁almost ▁all ▁well - in formed ▁patients ▁with ▁a ▁low ▁risk ▁of ▁hospitalization ▁would ▁decline ▁remdesivir . ▁Justification , ▁in ▁moderate ▁risk ▁patients , ▁benefits ▁of ▁molnupiravir ▁in ▁reducing ▁hospitalization ▁are ▁small , ▁though ▁possibly ▁important ▁to ▁a ▁majority ▁of ▁patients , ▁and ▁the ▁drug ▁probably ▁reduces ▁duration ▁of ▁symptoms . ▁The ▁GRADE ▁summary ▁of ▁findings ▁table ▁shows ▁the ▁relative ▁and ▁absolute ▁effects ▁of ▁system ic ▁corticosteroids ▁compared ▁with ▁standard ▁care ▁for ▁the ▁outcomes ▁of ▁interest ▁in ▁patients ▁with ▁severe ▁and ▁critical ▁COVID -19, ▁with ▁certainty ▁r at ings . ▁Bal ance ▁of ▁benefits ▁and ▁harms ▁Over w helm ing ▁evidence ▁is ▁available ▁on ▁how ▁breastfeeding ▁positive ly ▁affects ▁child ▁surv ival , ▁health ▁and ▁development ▁and ▁maternal ▁health . ▁The ▁two ▁final ▁cases ▁had ▁positive ▁Zika ▁virus ▁in ▁ser um , ▁with ▁one ▁case ▁being ▁positive ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁in ▁breast -

cause ▁re - ad mission ▁( haz ard ▁ratio : 0 4; ▁95% ▁CI : ▁0.8 3 –1 .30 ; ▁moderate - certainty ▁evidence ).

P ri or it ized ▁outcomes ▁For ▁the ▁previous ▁recommendations , ▁the ▁GDG ▁members ▁prior it ized ▁outcomes ▁( r ating ▁from ▁9 ▁[ c rit ical ] ▁to ▁1 ▁[ not ▁important ] ▁) ▁with ▁severe ▁and ▁critical ▁COVID -19, ▁taking ▁a ▁patient ▁pers pective ▁( Table ▁2.1 ). ▁This ▁may ▁be ▁med iated ▁through ▁a ▁non - m al arial ▁pathway . ▁Values ▁and ▁preferences ▁Pre ferences ▁and ▁values ▁of ▁the ▁target ▁population ▁were ▁determined ▁by : ▁consult ation ▁with ▁civil ▁society , ▁which ▁indicated ▁that ▁chemoprevention ▁to ▁prevent ▁malaria ▁disease ▁in ▁pregnant ▁women ▁was ▁seen ▁as ▁a ▁priority ▁in ▁endemic ▁areas ▁( C S 4 ME ▁unpublished ▁evidence ); ▁a ▁synt hesis ▁of ▁contextual ▁factors ▁from ▁studies ▁of ▁IPTp - SP , ▁although ▁these ▁lack ed ▁data ▁on ▁how ▁IPTp - SP ▁was ▁valued ▁( R od r ig ue z ▁et ▁al ▁unpublished ▁evidence ). ▁P ot ential ▁stig ma ▁from ▁repeated ▁CH W ▁visits ▁may ▁be ▁a ▁potential ▁issue ▁for ▁community - based ▁adherence . ▁Children ▁should ▁not ▁be ▁given ▁SMC ▁including ▁SP ▁if ▁they ▁are ▁receiving ▁a ▁s ulf a - based ▁medic ation ▁as ▁treatment ▁or ▁pro phylaxis , ▁including ▁co - t rim ox az ole ▁( t rim eth op rim – s ulf am eth ox az ole ). ▁However , ▁many ▁may ▁want ▁this ▁intervention ▁after ▁shared ▁decision - m aking ▁with ▁their ▁treat ing ▁phys ician . ▁Consider ations ▁for ▁co - inf ect ions ▁( i . e . ▁influ en za , ▁malaria , ▁T B ) ▁and / or ▁chronic ▁diseases ▁must ▁be ▁made ▁within ▁the ▁COVID -19 ▁care ▁pathway . ▁Use ▁of ▁molnupiravir ▁should ▁be ▁accomp an ied ▁by ▁m it igation ▁strategies ▁such ▁as ▁av o iding ▁the ▁drug ▁in ▁younger ▁adults , ▁children ▁and ▁pregnant ▁patients , ▁active ▁pharmac ov ig il ance ▁programmes , ▁and ▁monitoring ▁viral ▁poly mer ase ▁and ▁sp ike ▁sequ ences . ▁Given ▁that ▁IPTp ▁is ▁an ▁intervention ▁that ▁has ▁proven ▁to ▁be ▁effective , ▁for ▁eth ical ▁reasons , ▁no ▁new ▁place bo - cont rolled ▁trials ▁have ▁been ▁conducted ▁since ▁the ▁last ▁upd ate ▁to ▁the ▁IPTp ▁recommendation . ▁In ▁this ▁four teenth ▁it eration , ▁the ▁GDG ▁defined ▁1 .5% ▁as ▁a ▁new ▁th res hold ▁for ▁an ▁important ▁reduction ▁in ▁risk ▁of ▁hospitalization ▁in ▁patients ▁with ▁non - severe ▁covid -19. ▁In ▁one ▁series ▁of ▁two ▁cases , ▁Zika ▁virus ▁was ▁found ▁in ▁human ▁milk ▁samples ▁collected ▁five ▁days ▁after ▁the ▁onset ▁of ▁maternal ▁symptoms ▁of ▁infection , ▁but ▁cell ▁cult ures ▁were ▁negative ▁for ▁infect ious ▁virus ▁in ▁both ▁cases . ▁For ▁PEEP , ▁the ▁guideline ▁considered ▁an ▁individual ▁patient ▁data ▁met a - an alysis ▁of ▁three ▁RCTs . ▁Det ailed ▁des cript ions ▁of ▁the ▁setting , ▁interventions ▁deployed , ▁and ▁vector ▁species ▁targeted ▁are ▁required . ▁UN ▁partners ▁pro cure ▁these ▁products ▁and ▁are ▁making ▁them ▁available ▁to ▁L MI C s . ▁The ▁use ▁of ▁masks ▁with ▁a ▁trans p arent ▁component ▁may ▁be ▁considered , ▁where ▁available , ▁for ▁children ▁with ▁hearing ▁imp air ment ▁and ▁people ▁who ▁inter act ▁with ▁them . ▁U nt il ▁proven ▁negative , ▁all ▁suspected ▁cases ▁should ▁remain ▁in ▁the ▁COVID -19 ▁care ▁pathway . ▁However , ▁the ▁current ▁evidence ▁is ▁not ▁sufficient ▁to ▁conclud e ▁that ▁the ▁Zika ▁virus ▁can ▁be ▁trans mitted ▁through ▁breastfeeding ▁or ▁the ▁feeding ▁of ▁breast ▁milk . ▁These ▁may ▁be ▁related ▁to ▁the ▁high ▁frequ ency ▁of ▁ch oking ▁and ▁ref l ux ▁among ▁these ▁children . ▁In ▁the ▁case ▁that ▁an ▁outbre ak ▁has ▁occurred , ▁undert ake ▁an ▁after - action ▁review ▁to ▁identify ▁areas ▁for ▁improvement . ▁The ▁primary ▁aud ience ▁also ▁includes ▁people ▁directly ▁providing ▁care ▁to ▁infants , ▁including ▁primary ▁care ▁pract ition ers , ▁n urs es , ▁general ▁medical ▁pract ition ers , ▁pa ed i at ric ians , ▁managers ▁of ▁maternal ▁and ▁child ▁health ▁programmes ▁and ▁relevant ▁staff ▁members ▁in ▁health ▁ministries , ▁in ▁all ▁settings . ▁It ▁is ▁important ▁that ▁countries ▁integr ate ▁the ▁COVID -19 ▁clinical ▁care ▁pathway ▁in ▁the ▁parts ▁of ▁the ▁health ▁system ▁that ▁may ▁provide ▁care ▁for ▁patients ▁with ▁non - severe ▁COVID -19 ▁( i . e . ▁primary ▁care , ▁community ▁care ▁settings ). ▁Mother s ▁and ▁caregivers , ▁when ▁re ass ured ▁about ▁breastfeeding ▁in ▁the ▁context ▁of ▁the ▁Zika ▁virus , ▁support ▁and ▁place ▁a ▁high ▁value ▁on ▁breastfeeding ▁in ▁most ▁communities . ▁When ▁considered ▁separ ately , ▁remdesivir ▁possibly ▁has ▁an ▁important ▁reduction ▁on ▁mortality ▁( OR ▁0.8 9, ▁95% ▁CI ▁0.7 8 ▁to ▁1 .0 2) ▁in ▁those ▁with ▁severe ▁COVID -19, ▁while ▁possibly ▁having ▁no ▁impact ▁on ▁mortality ▁in ▁those ▁with ▁critical ▁COVID -19 ▁( OR ▁1.1 5, ▁95% ▁CI ▁0.8 9 ▁to 5 1 ). ▁In ▁providing ▁guidance ▁on ▁nirmatrelvir - ritonavir ▁use ▁in ▁pregnancy , ▁the ▁GDG ▁considered ▁the ▁likely ▁benefits ▁( t here ▁is ▁no ▁reason ▁to ▁think ▁the ▁drug ▁will ▁be ▁less ▁effective ▁in ▁pregnant ▁individuals ▁than ▁in ▁other ▁people ) ▁and ▁the ▁uncertainty ▁regarding ▁undesirable ▁effects . ▁It ▁is ▁a ▁nucle os ide ▁drug , ▁but ▁the ▁mechanism ▁of ▁action ▁invol ves ▁le th al ▁mut ag enes is ▁of ▁the ▁virus . ▁These ▁criteria ▁included ▁stakeholders ’ ▁values , ▁resource ▁imp lications , ▁acceptability , ▁feasibility ▁and ▁equity . ▁However , ▁the ▁panel ▁did ▁not ▁think ▁that ▁children ▁with ▁COVID -19 ▁would ▁respond ▁any ▁differently ▁to ▁therapeutic ▁or ▁inter medi ate ▁int ensity ▁ant ico ag ulation . ▁Monitoring ▁of ▁patients ▁to ▁identify ▁those ▁who ▁respond ▁to ▁the ▁initial ▁application ▁of ▁higher ▁PEEP ▁or ▁a ▁different ▁R M ▁protoc ol ▁and ▁stop ping ▁these ▁interventions ▁in ▁non - respond ers ▁are ▁suggested . ▁The ▁GDG ▁noted ▁that ▁adherence ▁to ▁topical ▁repellents ▁with ▁regular ▁and ▁adequate ▁application ▁is ▁likely ▁to ▁be ▁required ▁for ▁impact ▁against ▁malaria . ▁App lication ▁of ▁timely , ▁effective ▁and ▁safe ▁support ive ▁the rap ies ▁is ▁the ▁corn er st one ▁of ▁therapy ▁for ▁patients ▁who ▁develop ▁severe ▁man if est ations ▁of ▁COVID -19. ▁St r ong ▁recommendation ▁for ▁, ▁Moderate ▁certainty ▁evidence ▁Se ason al ▁malaria ▁chemoprevention ▁In ▁areas ▁of ▁season al ▁malaria ▁transmission , ▁children ▁belonging ▁to ▁age ▁groups ▁at ▁high ▁risk ▁of ▁severe ▁malaria ▁should ▁be ▁given ▁antimalarial ▁medicines ▁during ▁pe ak ▁malaria ▁transmission ▁se asons ▁to ▁reduce ▁disease ▁burden . ▁We ▁were ▁unable ▁to ▁exam ine ▁subgroup s ▁based ▁on ▁patient ▁age ▁or ▁severity ▁of ▁illness ▁due ▁to ▁insufficient ▁trial ▁data ▁( see ▁Research ▁evidence ), ▁and ▁similar ▁effects ▁were ▁inf er red ▁for ▁all ▁subgroup s . ▁Two ▁approaches ▁for ▁delivering ▁PDMC ▁were ▁evaluated : ▁( i ) ▁facility - based , ▁in ▁which ▁children ▁had ▁to ▁be ▁brought ▁to ▁a ▁health ▁facility ▁to ▁receive ▁subsequent ▁doses ▁of ▁PDMC , ▁and ▁( ii ) ▁community - based , ▁in ▁which ▁the ▁careg iver ▁received ▁all ▁doses ▁for ▁PDMC ▁on ▁dis charge ▁with ▁instructions ▁and ▁dates ▁for ▁administration ▁written ▁on ▁the ▁child ’ s ▁health ▁card , ▁and ▁with ▁CH W s ▁remind ing ▁caregivers ▁when ▁to ▁admin ister ▁doses , ▁S MS ▁remind ers , ▁or ▁no ▁remind ers . ▁L ar v iv orous ▁fish ▁no ▁recommendation ▁can ▁be ▁made ▁because ▁no ▁evidence ▁on ▁the ▁effectiveness ▁of ▁lar v iv orous ▁fish ▁for ▁the ▁prevention ▁and ▁control ▁of ▁malaria ▁was ▁identified . ▁In ▁addition ▁to ▁screening , ▁tri age , ▁and ▁rapid ▁source ▁control , ▁WHO ▁guidance ▁emphas izes ▁the ▁importance ▁of ▁administrative , ▁environmental ▁and ▁engine ering ▁control s ▁in ▁health ▁care ▁settings . ▁Resources ▁no ▁important ▁issues ▁with ▁the ▁recommended ▁alternative ▁there ▁are ▁no ▁formal ▁data ▁available ▁on ▁costs . ▁R is k ▁estimates ▁for ▁mortality ▁among st ▁patients ▁with ▁non - severe ▁illness ▁were ▁0 .6% ▁( h igh ▁risk ), ▁0 .3% ▁( mod erate ▁risk ) ▁and ▁0 .05 % ▁( low risk ), ▁these ▁categor izations ▁were ▁developed ▁based ▁on ▁observational ▁data , ▁however ▁rel i ably ▁identifying ▁those ▁at ▁high ▁risk ▁is ▁challeng ing ▁because ▁of ▁the ▁changing ▁global ▁context , ▁ev olution ▁of ▁the ▁virus ▁and ▁pattern s ▁of ▁COVID -19 ▁vaccination . ▁Th res hold s ▁for ▁assessing ▁these ▁criteria ▁change ▁over ▁time ▁and ▁loc ation . ▁Justification ▁the ▁best ▁estimates ▁suggest ▁that ▁any ▁benefit ▁of ▁nirmatrelvir - ritonavir ▁in ▁low - risk ▁patients ▁with ▁non - severe ▁COVID -19 ▁are ▁tri v ial . ▁Int rodu ction ▁Sh ould ▁primary ▁caregivers ▁of ▁infants ▁(0 –12 ▁months ▁old ) ▁affected ▁by ▁complications ▁associated ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁( P ) ▁receive ▁additional ▁support ▁for ▁improving ▁infant ▁feeding ▁( I ) ▁compared ▁with ▁no ▁additional ▁support ▁or ▁standard ▁care ▁( C ) ▁to ▁improve ▁infant ▁outcomes ▁( O ) ? ▁The ▁majority ▁of ▁IPTsc ▁studies ▁have ▁evaluated ▁the ▁intervention ▁in ▁children ▁under ▁15 ▁years ▁old . ▁F l u id ▁res us c itation ▁may ▁lead ▁to ▁volume ▁over lo ad , ▁including ▁respiratory ▁failure , ▁particularly ▁with ▁A R DS . ▁Moderate ▁concerns ▁about ▁adequacy ▁because ▁there ▁is ▁only ▁five ▁studies ▁but ▁minor ▁concerns ▁about ▁relevance ▁because ▁they ▁are ▁from ▁across ▁multiple ▁settings ▁( A ust ral ia , ▁Brazil , ▁Portug al ▁and ▁the ▁United K ing dom ) In f ant ’ s ▁weight ▁gain ▁can ▁be ▁the ▁over w helm ing ▁focus ▁both ▁for ▁them ▁and ▁for ▁health ▁professionals ▁( 9, 1 0, 1 3) ▁Moderate ▁confidence ▁Three ▁studies ▁with ▁minor ▁concerns ▁about ▁coherence ▁and ▁methodological ▁limitations : ▁the ▁studies ▁are ▁mainly ▁high ▁quality ▁and ▁the ▁data ▁are ▁rich . ▁App ly ▁to ▁your ▁hand ▁enough ▁alcohol -

bor ne ▁diseases . ▁Justification ▁the ▁GDG ▁were ▁informed ▁by ▁new ▁trial ▁evidence ▁that ▁reduced ▁the ▁high ▁degree ▁of ▁uncertainty ▁inform ing ▁the ▁previous ▁recommendation ▁to ▁continue ▁with ▁ivermectin ▁within ▁the ▁context ▁of ▁RCTs . ▁Although ▁hy dro x y ch lor o qu ine ▁has ▁been ▁used ▁in ▁pregnant ▁individuals ▁with ▁system ic ▁aut o im m une ▁diseases , ▁such ▁as ▁system ic ▁l up us ▁er y t hem at os us , ▁pregnant ▁individuals ▁may ▁have ▁even ▁more ▁reasons ▁than ▁other ▁patients ▁to ▁be ▁rel uct ant ▁to ▁use ▁hy dro x y ch lor o qu ine ▁for ▁COVID -19. ▁Human itar ian ▁emerg encies ▁in ▁other ▁parts ▁of ▁the ▁world ▁may ▁dif fer ▁in ▁terms ▁of ▁available ▁capacity , ▁infrastructure , ▁community ▁behaviour ▁and ▁accept ance . ▁The ▁intervention ▁period ▁began ▁at ▁the ▁first ▁dose ▁of ▁the ▁first ▁course ▁of ▁PDMC ▁and ▁ended ▁four ▁weeks ▁after ▁the ▁first ▁dose ▁of ▁the ▁last ▁course ▁of ▁PDMC . ▁The ▁evidence ▁on ▁the ▁effects ▁of ▁SARS - CoV -2 ▁infection ▁was ▁limited ▁to ▁one ▁observational ▁study . ▁Justification ▁when ▁moving ▁from ▁evidence ▁to ▁a ▁strong ▁recommendation ▁against ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁remdesivir ▁in ▁patients ▁with ▁non - severe ▁COVID -19 ▁at ▁low ▁risk ▁of ▁hospitalization , ▁the ▁GDG ▁emphasized ▁the ▁neg l igible ▁benefits ▁of ▁decreased ▁need ▁for ▁hospitalization ▁( l arge ly ▁because ▁of ▁the ▁very ▁low ▁risk ▁of ▁hospitalization ▁among ▁unt reated ▁patients ), ▁uncertainty ▁in ▁adverse ▁effects , ▁and ▁the ▁feasibility ▁issues ▁related ▁to ▁intra ven ous ▁administration ▁of ▁remdesivir ▁( three ▁consec utive ▁days ▁of ▁intra ven ous ▁administration ). ▁Con sequently , ▁IPTp - SP ▁should ▁continue ▁to ▁be ▁used ▁in ▁areas ▁of ▁high ▁SP ▁resistance ▁until ▁more ▁effective ▁alternatives ▁for ▁malaria ▁chemoprevention ▁are ▁found . ▁Evidence ▁is ▁needed ▁to ▁determine ▁the ▁effectiveness ▁of ▁comb ining ▁IRS ▁and ▁ITNs ▁in ▁malaria ▁transmission ▁f oci , ▁including ▁in ▁low ▁transmission ▁settings . ▁De velop ▁form ulations ▁that ▁improve ▁the ▁dur ability ▁of ▁insect ic id al ▁efficacy . ▁These ▁data ▁showed ▁that ▁IPTp ▁with ▁DHAP ▁was ▁much ▁more ▁effective ▁than ▁SP ▁in ▁reducing ▁malaria ▁in ▁areas ▁of ▁high ▁SP ▁resistance . ▁P oor ▁u pt ake ▁of ▁IPTsc ▁in ▁one ▁study ▁was ▁attributed ▁to ▁poor ▁community ▁per cept ions ▁about ▁IPTsc ▁and ▁the ▁require ment ▁for ▁parent al ▁informed ▁cons ent ▁. ▁When ▁considering ▁larviciding , ▁programmes ▁should ▁note ▁the ▁following : ▁larviciding ▁only ▁reduces ▁vector ▁d ensity ▁and ▁so ▁does ▁not ▁have ▁the ▁same ▁potential ▁for ▁health ▁impact ▁as ▁ITNs ▁and ▁IRS ; ▁ITNs ▁provide ▁protection ▁from ▁bit ing ▁ve ctors ▁and ▁both ▁ITNs ▁and ▁IRS ▁reduce ▁adult ▁l on ge v ity . ▁However , ▁the ▁int race ll ular ▁half - life ▁of ▁molnupiravir ' s ▁active ▁met ab ol ite ▁is ▁sh or ter ▁in ▁human ▁cell ▁lines ▁(3 h ) ▁compared ▁with ▁that ▁of ▁remdesivir ' s ▁active ▁met ab ol ite ▁( 35 h ). ▁Who ▁the ▁recommendations ▁apply ▁to ▁Inf o ▁Box ▁The ▁GDG ▁e lected ▁to ▁use ▁the ▁WHO ▁severity ▁defin itions ▁based ▁on ▁clinical ▁indicators , ▁ad ap ted ▁from ▁WHO ▁COVID -19 ▁disease ▁severity ▁categor ization . ▁Several ▁therapeutic ▁options ▁are ▁available : ▁see ▁decision ▁support ▁tool ▁that ▁dis pl ays ▁benefits ▁and ▁harms ▁of ▁nirmatrelvir ritonavir , ▁molnupiravir ▁and ▁remdesivir ▁for ▁patients ▁at ▁high ▁risk ▁of ▁hospitalization . ▁Zika ▁syndrome ▁to ▁reduce ▁the ▁risk ▁of ▁d imin ished ▁nutritional ▁status ▁over ▁time ▁for ▁infants ▁exp osed ▁to ▁Zika ▁virus ▁or ▁diagn osed ▁with ▁congenital ▁Zika ▁syndrome . ▁Supp ort ing ▁re ferences : ▁Al most ▁all ▁patients ▁were ▁randomized ▁to ▁trials ▁that ▁were ▁not ▁blind ed . ▁Consider ation ▁should ▁be ▁given ▁to ▁contextual ▁factors ▁such ▁as ▁values ▁and ▁preferences ▁of ▁end - us ers , ▁costs , ▁coverage ▁and ▁sustain ability ▁of ▁alternative ▁delivery ▁platform s . ▁In ▁patients ▁with ▁moderate ▁or ▁severe ▁A R DS , ▁a ▁trial ▁of ▁higher ▁positive ▁end - exp iratory ▁pressure ▁( P EEP ) ▁instead ▁of ▁lower ▁PEEP ▁is ▁suggested ▁and ▁requ ires ▁consideration ▁of ▁benefits ▁versus ▁risks . ▁V ery ▁few ▁events ▁and ▁cred ible ▁intervals ▁that ▁include ▁both ▁important ▁benefit ▁and ▁harm . ▁Fe as ibility ▁no ▁important ▁issues ▁with ▁the ▁recommended ▁alternative ▁this ▁intervention ▁is ▁likely ▁feasible . ▁There ▁are ▁five ▁statements ▁for ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁masks ▁by ▁children , ▁including ▁three ▁recommendations ▁by ▁age ▁group ▁( ≤ ▁5, ▁6 -1 1, ▁12 and ▁over ), ▁and ▁two ▁good ▁practice ▁statements . ▁Please ▁refer ▁to ▁the ▁document ▁on ▁IPC ▁in ▁the ▁event ▁of ▁a ▁sur ge ▁or ▁res urg ence ▁in ▁cases ▁of ▁COVID -19. ▁Rel ative ▁to ▁nirmatrelvir - ritonavir , ▁there ▁is ▁little ▁or ▁no ▁difference ▁in ▁mortality ▁with ▁remdesivir ▁and ▁may ▁be ▁little ▁or ▁no ▁difference ▁in ▁admission ▁to ▁hospital . ▁Cred ible ▁intervals ▁include ▁no ▁difference . ▁However , ▁techniques ▁such ▁as ▁the ▁“ t ie - and - t uck ” ▁method ▁may ▁benefit ▁low - ▁and ▁middle - in come ▁countries ▁since ▁the ▁techniques ▁do ▁not ▁require ▁additional ▁materials . ▁The ▁component ▁medicines ▁should ▁have ▁closely ▁mat ched ▁pharmac ology , ▁such ▁that ▁no ▁component ▁is ▁present ▁in ▁the ▁absence ▁of ▁other ▁components ▁for ▁more ▁than ▁a ▁min imal ▁amount ▁of ▁time ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁reduce ▁the ▁risk ▁of ▁new ▁infections ▁enc oun tering ▁only ▁a ▁single ▁drug . ▁Evidence ▁to ▁decision ▁Benef its ▁and ▁harms ▁Two ▁RCTs ▁were ▁included ▁in ▁the ▁systematic ▁review ▁This ▁public ation ▁is ▁a ▁World ▁Health ▁Organization ▁( W HO ) ▁guideline . ▁WHO ▁recommend s ▁exclusive ▁breastfeeding ▁the ▁first ▁six ▁months ▁of ▁life ▁and ▁continued ▁to ▁two ▁years ▁and ▁beyond . ▁However , ▁the ▁cost ▁of ▁comb ining ▁two ▁interventions ▁will ▁significantly ▁increase ▁comm od ity ▁and ▁oper ational ▁costs . ▁The ▁benefit ▁of ▁bar ic it inib ▁on ▁mortality ▁was ▁de em ed ▁of ▁critical ▁importance ▁to ▁patients ▁and ▁the ▁GDG ▁was ▁re ass ured ▁by ▁the ▁moderate ▁certainty ▁evidence ▁of ▁little ▁or ▁no ▁increase ▁in ▁SA Es . ▁Ac cept ability , ▁there ▁is ▁a ▁significant ▁lack ▁of ▁evidence ▁as ▁to ▁the ▁acceptability ▁of ▁mask ▁use ▁for ▁children ▁in ▁this ▁age ▁group ▁across ▁different ▁contexts . ▁This ▁may ▁be ▁useful ▁for ▁supporting ▁IPTp ▁delivery ▁while ▁measures ▁to ▁address ▁A NC ▁inequ ities ▁are ▁implemented . ▁No ▁data ▁were ▁available ▁on ▁this ▁outcome ▁for ▁AS - AQ , ▁SP + AS ▁or ▁DHAP ▁in ▁the ▁met a - an alysis . ▁Furthermore , ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁glo ves ▁at ▁the ▁impro per ▁moment ▁with ▁the ▁wrong ▁techn ique ▁of ▁putting ▁on ▁and ▁taking ▁off ▁glo ves ▁may ▁result ▁in ▁un int ention al ▁cross -

The ▁GDG ▁considered ▁PMC ▁implementation ▁to ▁be ▁feasible . ▁Similarly , ▁use ▁of ▁chemoprevention ▁around ▁a ▁confirmed ▁case ▁in ▁areas ▁approaching ▁el imination ▁or ▁post - el imination ▁preventing ▁re est ablish ment ▁is ▁known ▁as ▁re act ive ▁drug ▁administration ▁( R DA ). ▁The ▁most ▁common ▁serious ▁adverse ▁events ▁were ▁problems ▁with ▁balance , ▁d iz z iness , ▁feeling ▁f aint , ▁n ause a ▁or ▁v om iting . ▁The ▁initial ▁evidence ▁also ▁demonst rated ▁that ▁IPTp ▁reduced ▁maternal ▁anaemia ▁and ▁infection ▁with ▁malaria . ▁The ▁cost – effectiveness ▁of ▁additional ▁support ▁for ▁caregivers ▁of ▁infants ▁affected ▁by ▁complications ▁associated ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁probably ▁fav ours ▁treatment ▁compared ▁with ▁no ▁additional ▁support ▁or ▁standard ▁care . ▁Rem ark : ▁Patients ▁with ▁risk ▁factors ▁for ▁severe ▁illness ▁should ▁be ▁monitored ▁closely , ▁given ▁the ▁possible ▁risk ▁of ▁det er ior ation . ▁Given ▁that ▁SP ▁contin ues ▁to ▁have ▁positive ▁outcomes ▁for ▁mother ▁and ▁baby ▁even ▁in ▁areas ▁of ▁very ▁high ▁SP ▁resistance , ▁national ▁malaria ▁programmes ▁may ▁want ▁to ▁continue ▁IPTp - SP ▁programmes , ▁despite ▁wor s ening ▁efficacy ▁on ▁malaria - specific ▁outcomes . ▁The ▁GDG ▁considered ▁that ▁PMC ▁probably ▁increases ▁health ▁equity ▁when ▁delivered ▁using ▁the ▁E PI ▁platform , ▁since ▁access ▁to ▁E PI ▁is ▁generally ▁equ itable ▁and ▁coverage ▁te nds ▁to ▁be ▁high . ▁St r ong ▁recommendation ▁for , ▁moderate ▁certainty ▁evidence ▁inter mittent ▁preventive ▁treatment ▁of ▁malaria ▁in ▁pregnancy ▁in ▁malaria - end emic ▁areas , ▁pregnant ▁women ▁of ▁all ▁gra vid ities ▁should ▁be ▁given ▁antimalarial ▁medicine ▁at ▁pred et erm ined ▁intervals ▁to ▁reduce ▁disease ▁burden ▁in ▁pregnancy ▁and ▁adverse ▁pregnancy ▁and ▁birth ▁outcomes . ▁These ▁programmes ▁could ▁also ▁help ▁to ▁identify ▁any ▁un w anted ▁harm ▁or ▁adverse ▁effect ▁from ▁potential ▁transmission ▁of ▁the ▁virus . ▁Summary ▁: ▁Over all , ▁there ▁may ▁be ▁important ▁uncertainty ▁or ▁variability ▁in ▁the ▁values ▁and ▁preferences ▁of ▁pregnant ▁women , ▁mothers , ▁family ▁members , ▁health - care ▁pract ition ers , ▁policy - makers ▁and ▁health - care ▁providers ▁( m id wives ) ▁concerning ▁infant ▁feeding ▁( inc lud ing ▁breastfeeding , ▁breast - milk ▁and ▁their ▁alternatives ) ▁when ▁there ▁is ▁a ▁risk ▁of ▁potential ly ▁trans miss ible ▁Zika ▁virus . ▁House hold ▁members ▁and ▁individuals ▁who ▁are ▁car ing ▁for ▁a ▁person ▁with ▁probable ▁or ▁confirmed ▁COVID -19 ▁are ▁to ▁follow ▁instructions ▁from ▁local ▁public ▁health ▁officials . ▁For ▁both ▁drugs , ▁it ▁will ▁include ▁those ▁for ▁whom , ▁for ▁whatever ▁reason , ▁the ▁drugs ▁are ▁un av ail able . ▁For ▁the ▁collection ▁of ▁U R T ▁samples , ▁we ▁recommend ▁the ▁collection ▁of ▁n as oph ary n ge al ▁and ▁o ro ph ary n ge al ▁spec imens . ▁Some ▁can ▁be ▁used ▁in ▁combination , ▁while ▁others ▁are ▁to ▁be ▁used ▁as ▁alternatives . ▁T ri als ▁exclud ed ▁patients ▁with ▁severe ▁kid ney ▁imp air ment ▁and ▁severe ▁l iver ▁imp air ment ; ▁and ▁clinic ians ▁should ▁use ▁nirmatrelvir - ritonavir ▁with ▁ca ution ▁in ▁such ▁patients . ▁We ▁had ▁no ▁data ▁exam ining ▁need ▁for ▁hospital ▁admission , ▁which ▁has ▁been ▁the ▁major ▁dri ver ▁of ▁recommendations ▁for ▁other ▁interventions ▁in ▁non - severe ▁disease ▁given ▁the ▁perceived ▁patient ▁importance ▁of ▁this ▁outcome . ▁F re qu ency ▁The ▁frequ ency ▁of ▁PDMC ▁administration ▁should ▁be ▁informed ▁by ▁the ▁length ▁of ▁protect ive ▁efficacy ▁of ▁the ▁selected ▁drug , ▁the ▁duration ▁of ▁the ▁transmission ▁season , ▁and ▁the ▁feasibility ▁of ▁delivering ▁each ▁additional ▁PDMC ▁treatment . ▁Un certainty ▁also ▁remains ▁with ▁regard ▁to ▁the ▁administration ▁of ▁ru x ol it inib ▁or ▁to f ac it inib ▁to ▁pregnant ▁or ▁lactating ▁individuals . ▁Ind irect ▁compar isons ▁in ▁high - risk ▁patients ▁demonst rated ▁nirmatrelvir - ritonavir ▁may ▁reduce ▁hospitalization ▁when ▁compared ▁with ▁molnupiravir ▁( low ▁certainty ▁evidence ); ▁however , ▁low ▁certainty ▁evidence ▁suggested ▁little ▁or ▁no ▁difference ▁when ▁compared ▁with ▁remdesivir . ▁App lic ability , ▁the ▁applic ability ▁of ▁this ▁recommendation ▁to ▁children ▁or ▁pregnant ▁individuals ▁is ▁currently ▁uncertain , ▁as ▁the ▁included ▁RCTs ▁enrolled ▁non - pre gn ant ▁adults . ▁Comp lying ▁with ▁the ▁AS T M ▁F 3 50 2 -22 a ▁Stand ard ▁Spe c ification ▁for ▁Bar ri er ▁Face ▁Co ver ings , ▁standard ▁or ▁a ▁non - med ical ▁mask ▁meeting ▁WHO ▁essential ▁par am eters . ▁This ▁was ▁often ▁in ▁response ▁to ▁a ▁rapid ▁sur ge ▁of ▁cases , ▁cou p led ▁with ▁demand s ▁on ▁the ▁health ▁work for ce ▁and ▁increased ▁incidence ▁of ▁COVID -19 ▁among ▁health ▁and ▁care ▁workers . ▁F re qu ency ▁The ▁IPTsc ▁sched ule ▁should ▁be ▁informed ▁by ▁the ▁local ▁malaria ▁epidemi ology , ▁particularly ▁transmission ▁int ensity ▁and ▁season ality , ▁the ▁pharmac ok inet ics ▁of ▁the ▁drug ▁used , ▁and ▁the ▁feasibility ▁of ▁delivering ▁each ▁additional ▁IPTsc ▁course . ▁However , ▁indirect ▁evidence ▁showed ▁that ▁children ▁affected ▁by ▁complications ▁associated ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁have ▁a ▁decline ▁in ▁nutritional ▁status , ▁ev id enced ▁by ▁slow er ▁growth , ▁lower ▁food ▁int ake , ▁less ▁breastfeeding , ▁more ▁infant ▁formula ▁use ▁and ▁cal or ie ▁and ▁l ip id ▁int ake ▁below ▁the ▁recommended ▁allow ances . ▁VV 116 ▁has ▁little ▁to ▁no ▁effect ▁on ▁adverse ▁effects ▁leading ▁to ▁drug ▁discontin uation ▁( h igh ▁certainty ▁evidence ). ▁This ▁document ▁brings ▁together ▁the ▁most ▁recent ▁evidence ▁to ▁provide ▁practical ▁recommendations ▁for ▁reducing ▁the ▁health ▁burden ▁due ▁to ▁un sa fe ▁and ▁sub stand ard ▁hous ing . ▁Implementation ▁of ▁techniques ▁should ▁be ▁tail ored ▁to ▁the ▁individual ▁patient ▁and ▁follow ▁available ▁guidelines . ▁Protection ▁for ▁trave ll ers ▁to ▁malaria - end emic ▁areas ▁The ▁primary ▁target ▁for ▁these ▁guidelines ▁is ▁people ▁living ▁in ▁endemic ▁areas ▁and ▁no ▁formal ▁recommendations ▁regarding ▁preventive ▁chem other ap y ▁are ▁currently ▁included ▁for ▁non - im m une ▁people ▁travelling ▁to ▁malaria ▁endemic ▁regions . ▁Resources ▁and ▁other ▁considerations ▁Research ▁evidence ▁There ▁is ▁evidence ▁that ▁this ▁intervention ▁would ▁require ▁mosquito ▁a qu atic ▁habit ats ▁to ▁be ▁large , ▁permanent ▁and ▁few . ▁SMC ▁given ▁to ▁children ▁< 5 ▁years ▁old ▁reduced ▁the ▁risk ▁of ▁clinical ▁malaria ▁by ▁almost ▁three ▁quarters ▁( risk ▁ratio : ▁0 .2 7; ▁95% ▁CI : ▁0 .25 –0 .2 9) ▁during ▁the ▁transmission ▁season ▁( Th w ing ▁et ▁al ▁unpublished ▁evidence ). ▁The ▁effect ▁was ▁greater ▁in ▁first ▁and ▁second ▁pregnancies ▁(2 4 % ; ▁95% ▁CI : ▁19 –2 9 %) ▁than ▁in ▁third ▁or ▁subsequent ▁pregnancies ▁(1 7 % ; ▁95% ▁CI : ▁13 – 20 %). ▁N A AT ▁testing ▁is ▁the ▁recommended ▁for ▁the ▁diagnosis ▁of ▁COVID -19. ▁Inter mittent ▁preventive ▁treatment ▁in ▁school - aged ▁children ▁( IPT sc ) ▁has ▁been ▁evaluated ▁in ▁children ▁aged ▁5 – 15 ▁years . ▁V ery ▁low ▁Certainty ▁of ▁the ▁Evidence ▁The ▁systematic ▁review ▁assessed ▁that ▁the ▁overall ▁certainty ▁of ▁the ▁evidence ▁that ▁space ▁sp ray ing ▁has ▁an ▁impact ▁on ▁malaria ▁was ▁very ▁low . ▁The ▁members ▁of ▁the ▁Guideline ▁Development ▁Group ▁were ▁identified ▁in ▁a ▁way ▁that ▁ens ured ▁geograph ical ▁representation ▁and ▁absence ▁of ▁significant ▁conflic ts ▁of ▁interest . ▁However , ▁E CM O ▁was ▁associated ▁with ▁a ▁reduced ▁risk ▁of ▁the ▁comp os ite ▁outcome ▁that ▁cons isted ▁of ▁mortality ▁and ▁cro s so ver ▁to ▁E CM O ▁treatment ▁, ▁and ▁a ▁post - h oc ▁B ay es ian ▁analysis ▁of ▁this ▁RCT ▁showed ▁that ▁E CM O ▁is ▁very ▁likely ▁to ▁reduce ▁mortality ▁across ▁a ▁range ▁of ▁prior ▁assum pt ions . ▁New ▁mothers ▁report ▁being ▁sad ▁and ▁anx ious ▁that ▁their ▁circum st ances ▁mean ▁they ▁cannot ▁breastfeed ▁and ▁that ▁their ▁bond ▁with ▁their ▁child ▁might ▁be ▁affected ▁as ▁a ▁result . ▁At ▁the ▁ext remes ▁of ▁the ▁studies ▁which ▁have ▁investigated ▁con val es cent ▁pl as ma ▁clin ically ▁and ▁reported ▁the ▁dose ▁in ▁terms ▁of ▁ne ut ral izing ▁antib ody ▁tit re ▁and ▁volume ▁administered , ▁administration ▁of ▁200 ▁m L ▁would ▁be ▁expected ▁to ▁result ▁in ▁an ▁average ▁dil ution ▁of ▁25 - f old ▁whereas ▁administration ▁of ▁1000 ▁m L ▁would ▁be ▁expected ▁to ▁result ▁in ▁an ▁average ▁dil ution ▁of ▁5 - f old ▁from ▁those ▁tit res ▁present ▁in ▁the ▁circ ulation ▁of ▁the ▁don or ▁themselves ▁( ass um ing ▁an ▁average ▁human ▁blood ▁volume ▁of ▁5 ▁L . ▁In ▁2016, ▁WHO ▁published ▁recommendations ▁for ▁screening , ▁assessing ▁and ▁managing ▁ne on ates ▁and ▁infants ▁with ▁complications ▁associated ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁exposure ▁in ▁ut ero . ▁En s uring ▁ev id enced - based ▁and ▁consist ently ▁applied ▁W AS H ▁and ▁waste ▁management ▁practices ▁in ▁communities , ▁hom es , ▁schools , ▁market pl aces ▁and ▁health - care ▁facilities ▁will ▁help ▁prevent ▁human - to - h uman ▁transmission ▁of ▁path og ens , ▁including ▁SARS - CoV -2 , ▁the ▁virus ▁that ▁ca uses ▁COVID -19. ▁M olnupiravir ▁( up d ated ▁10 ▁November ▁2023 ) ▁info ▁box ▁the ▁recommendations ▁for ▁molnupiravir ▁were ▁initially ▁published ▁on ▁3 ▁March ▁202 2. ▁This ▁was ▁based ▁on ▁the ▁low ▁certainty ▁of ▁the ▁evidence ▁and ▁the ▁lower ▁incidence ▁( and ▁severity ) ▁of ▁SARS - CoV -2 ▁transmission ▁in ▁this ▁age ▁group ▁relative ▁to ▁older ▁children ▁and ▁adults . ▁The ▁GDG ▁consequ ently ▁considered ▁the ▁certainty ▁of ▁the ▁evidence ▁overall ▁to ▁be ▁moderate . ▁Pati ent ▁disc om fort ▁for ▁pr one ▁position ▁could ▁limit ▁time ▁spent ▁in ▁individual ▁circum st ances . ▁E ight ▁trials ▁have ▁evaluated ▁a ▁range ▁of ▁3 – 6 ▁doses ▁of ▁SP ▁for ▁PMC ▁in ▁the ▁first ▁year ▁of ▁life . ▁More ▁information ▁on ▁the ▁evidence ▁can ▁be ▁found ▁in ▁the ▁summary ▁of ▁contextual ▁factors ▁report ▁( R od r ig ue z ▁et ▁al un published ▁evidence ). A c cept ability ▁IPTp ▁has ▁been ▁widely ▁accepted ▁by ▁pregnant ▁women . ▁During ▁periods ▁of ▁the ▁pandemic ▁when ▁COVID -19 ▁was ▁ex er ting ▁a ▁significant ▁impact ▁on ▁health - care ▁systems , ▁strategies ▁and ▁no vel ▁interventions ▁were ▁needed ▁to ▁address ▁gaps . ▁Ca usal ▁pro phyl act ics ▁( at o va qu one ▁+ ▁pro gu an il ) ▁can ▁be ▁stopped ▁soon ▁after ▁leaving ▁an ▁endemic ▁area , ▁whereas ▁supp ressive ▁pro phyl act ics ▁must ▁be ▁taken ▁for ▁at ▁least ▁4 ▁weeks ▁after ▁leaving ▁the ▁area ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁elimin ate ▁a se x ual ▁paras ites ▁emerging ▁from ▁the ▁l iver ▁weeks ▁after ▁exposure . ▁Con sequently , ▁the ▁overall ▁certainty ▁of ▁evidence ▁for ▁the ▁outcomes ▁of ▁interest ▁was ▁considered ▁moderate ▁by ▁the ▁GDG . ▁The ▁two ▁GDG s ▁that ▁reviewed ▁evidence ▁for ▁the ▁impact ▁of ▁MDA ▁on ▁P . ▁v iv ax ▁prior it ized ▁different ▁outcome ▁measures ▁and ▁arrived ▁at ▁different ▁recommendations . ▁Two ▁other ▁identified ▁studies ▁combined ▁habit at ▁manip ulation ▁with ▁larviciding ▁and ▁so ▁the ▁effect ▁of ▁the ▁two ▁could ▁not ▁be ▁separ ated . ▁If ▁dece ased ▁consider ▁the ▁collection ▁of ▁post m ort em ▁spec imens . ▁The ▁ac know ledge ment ▁of ▁the ▁pe er ▁review ers ▁does ▁not ▁necess arily ▁represent ▁the ▁view s , ▁decisions ▁or ▁policies ▁of ▁the ▁institutions ▁with ▁which ▁they ▁are ▁aff il iated . ▁A ▁re - an alysis ▁of ▁data ▁on ▁resistance ▁mark ers ▁following ▁monthly ▁IPTsc ▁found ▁no ▁suggest ion ▁of ▁an ▁increased ▁prevalence ▁of ▁any ▁resistance ▁mark ers ▁following ▁DHAP ▁administration 2 ▁( ▁C orticostero ids ▁have ▁previously ▁been ▁strongly ▁recommended ▁in ▁patients ▁with ▁severe ▁and ▁critical ▁COVID -19, ▁and ▁we ▁recommend ▁patients ▁meeting ▁these ▁severity ▁criteria ▁should ▁receive ▁both ▁corticosteroids ▁and ▁I L -6 ▁recept or ▁block ers . ▁If ▁a ▁large ▁number ▁of ▁in id ividual s ▁have ▁been ▁exp osed , ▁the ▁absence ▁of ▁reported ▁undesirable ▁effects ▁provides ▁consider able ▁re ass urance ; ▁if ▁only ▁a ▁small ▁number , ▁not ▁so . ▁Co ag ul op ath y ▁is ▁common ▁in ▁patients ▁with ▁severe ▁COVID -19, ▁and ▁both ▁v enous ▁and ▁ar ter ial ▁th rom bo em b ol ism ▁have ▁been ▁reported . ▁In ▁developmental ▁and ▁reproductive ▁to xic ology ▁assess ments , ▁reduced ▁f etal ▁body ▁weights ▁were ▁observed ▁in ▁r ats ▁and ▁ra bb its , ▁with ▁higher ▁exp os ures ▁also ▁being ▁associated ▁with ▁emb ry o - f etal ▁le th ality ▁and ▁ter at og en ic ity ▁in ▁r ats . ▁More ▁information ▁on ▁the ▁evidence ▁can ▁be ▁found ▁in ▁the ▁summary ▁of ▁contextual ▁factors ▁report ▁( G ut man ▁et ▁al ▁unpublished ev idence ▁( b )). E qu ity ▁There ▁is ▁very ▁limited ▁data ▁on ▁how ▁a ▁school - based ▁platform ▁for ▁delivery ▁of ▁malaria ▁chemoprevention ▁to ▁children ▁would ▁affect ▁equity ▁and ▁health ▁equ ality . ▁Co inf ection ▁with ▁COVID -19 ▁virus ▁may ▁also ▁occur ▁and ▁a ▁positive ▁diagn ost ic ▁test ▁for ▁d engue ▁( e . g . ▁d engue ▁R D T s ) ▁does ▁not ▁exclud e ▁the ▁testing ▁for ▁COVID -19. ▁For ▁handling ▁bodies ▁at ▁the ▁community ▁level , ▁handling ▁practices ▁would ▁follow ▁those ▁followed ▁after ▁death ▁due ▁to ▁other ▁respiratory ▁illness es ▁( e . g . ▁influ en za ). ▁L abor atory ▁diagnosis ▁For ▁more ▁det ails , ▁we ▁refer ▁to ▁published ▁WHO ▁guidance ▁D ia gn ost ic ▁testing ▁for ▁SARS - CoV -2 ▁regarding ▁spec imen ▁collection , ▁process ing ▁and ▁labor atory ▁testing ▁and ▁the ▁diagn ost ic ▁al g or ithm . ▁Perform ▁hand ▁hygiene ▁often , ▁and ▁after ▁handling ▁so iled ▁lin en . ▁After ▁review ing ▁the ▁limited ▁evidence ▁available ▁on ▁the ▁effectiveness ▁of ▁mask ▁use ▁in ▁this ▁age ▁group , ▁a ▁survey ▁was ▁completed ▁by ▁GDG ▁members , ▁80% ▁of ▁whom ▁vot ed ▁in ▁favour ▁of ▁a ▁conditional ▁recommendation ▁for ▁mask ▁use . ▁Health - care ▁providers ▁and ▁decision - makers ▁also ▁reported ▁a ▁lack ▁of ▁confidence ▁among ▁mothers ▁in ▁the ▁alternatives ▁to ▁breastfeeding , ▁and ▁mothers ▁and ▁community ▁members ▁report ▁that ▁access ▁to ▁such ▁alternatives ▁and ▁their ▁cost ▁are ▁pro hib itive . ▁Justification ▁The ▁systematic ▁review ▁[ 10 8 ] ▁identified ▁only ▁two ▁eligible ▁published ▁studies ▁assessing ▁the ▁impact ▁of ▁hous ing ▁mod ifications ▁on ▁malaria ▁epidemi ological ▁outcomes ▁conducted ▁in ▁E thiop ia ▁and ▁G amb ia . ▁In ▁addition , ▁men ▁planning ▁to ▁con ceive ▁should ▁be ▁o ri ent ed ▁on ▁the ▁potential ▁for ▁temporary ▁g en ot ox ic ▁effect ▁on ▁sp erm ▁cell ▁production . ▁When ▁possible , ▁avoid ▁bag - val ve ▁mask ▁ventilation ▁to ▁reduce ▁exposure ▁to ▁a er os ols . ▁Data ▁from ▁a ▁review ▁of ▁the ▁cost ▁and ▁cost - effectiveness ▁of ▁malaria ▁control ▁interventions ▁deployed ▁in ▁st able ▁settings ▁[ 35 ] ▁reported ▁that ▁the ▁cost - effectiveness ▁of ▁IRS ▁compared ▁to ▁no ▁IRS ▁was ▁US $ ▁840 .44 ▁per ▁death ▁aver ted ▁and ▁US $ ▁25 .16 ▁per ▁D AL Y ▁aver ted . ▁Care g ivers ▁understood ▁the ▁value ▁of ▁giving ▁preventive ▁malaria ▁medicines ▁during ▁the ▁post - dis charge ▁period , ▁given ▁that ▁their ▁children ▁had ▁recently ▁been ▁in ▁hospital ▁[ 16 2 ]. ▁GDG ▁members ▁expressed ▁concern ▁about ▁being ▁over ly ▁pres cript ive ▁while ▁the ▁current ▁state ▁of ▁evidence ▁on ▁the ▁quality ▁and ▁effectiveness ▁of ▁non - med ical ▁masks ▁contin ues ▁to ▁ev olve , ▁as ▁this ▁may ▁limit ▁the ▁social ▁enter prise ▁of ▁hom em ade ▁mask ▁production , ▁a ▁standard ▁practice ▁within ▁many ▁WHO ▁Member ▁States . ▁Non - cl in ical ▁safety : ▁The ▁GDG ▁reviewed ▁the ▁public ly ▁available ▁data ▁on ▁non - cl in ical ▁safety ▁of ▁molnupiravir ▁from ▁the ▁F DA ▁meeting ▁documents ▁for ▁molnupiravir ▁Em erg ence ▁Use ▁Auth or ization ▁( 30 ▁November ▁2021 ). ▁The ▁use ▁of ▁deep ▁sed ation ▁may ▁be ▁required ▁to ▁control ▁respiratory ▁drive ▁and ▁achieve ▁t id al ▁volume ▁targets . ▁More ▁information ▁on ▁the ▁evidence ▁can ▁be ▁found ▁in ▁the ▁summary ▁of ▁contextual ▁factors ▁report ▁( R od r ig ue z ▁et ▁al un published ▁evidence ). J ust ification ▁This ▁recommendation ▁was ▁developed ▁using ▁the ▁Gr ading ▁of ▁Recommend ations ▁Ass essment , ▁Development ▁and ▁Evaluation ▁( G RADE ) ▁frame work ▁All ▁studies ▁were ▁conducted ▁during ▁the ▁chronic ▁phase ▁of ▁the ▁emergency . ▁The ▁effect ▁on ▁other ▁outcomes ▁is ▁uncertain . ▁Benef its ▁are ▁likely ▁to ▁be ▁larger ▁in ▁situations ▁in ▁which ▁the ▁risks ▁of ▁infection ▁are ▁higher , ▁e . g . ▁areas ▁with ▁poor ▁ventilation ▁and / or ▁where ▁people ▁are ▁unable ▁to ▁phys ically ▁distance ▁from ▁one ▁another . ▁People ▁growing ▁up ▁in ▁endemic ▁countries ▁will ▁increasingly ▁be ▁non -

to - mod erate . ▁However , ▁only ▁a ▁single ▁study ▁was ▁identified ▁that ▁random ly ▁assign ed ▁topical ▁repellents ▁to ▁individuals ▁and ▁no ▁significant ▁impact ▁against ▁malaria ▁incidence ▁was ▁reported . ▁Post -

M DA , ▁as ▁the ▁evidence ▁is ▁very ▁uncertain ▁( rate ▁ratio : ▁1.3 8; ▁95% ▁CI : ▁0.9 7 –1 .9 5 ; ▁very ▁low - certainty ▁evidence ). ▁A ▁chemoprevention ▁strategy ▁related ▁to ▁MDA ▁that ▁is ▁intended ▁to ▁reduce ▁transmission ▁of ▁P . ▁v iv ax ▁is ▁mass ▁rel apse ▁prevention ▁( MR P ). ▁Det ailed ▁guidelines ▁from ▁the ▁Sur v iv ing ▁Sep s is ▁C amp aign ▁and ▁WHO ▁are ▁available ▁for ▁the ▁management ▁of ▁se pt ic ▁sh ock ▁in ▁adults ▁and ▁children . ▁The ▁effects ▁of ▁VV 116 ▁on ▁admission ▁to ▁hospital , ▁mortality , ▁use ▁of ▁invas ive ▁mechanical ▁ventilation , ▁and ▁time ▁to ▁sympt om ▁resolution ▁remain ▁uncertain ▁because ▁of ▁very ▁low ▁certainty ▁of ▁evidence ▁address ing ▁each ▁of ▁these ▁outcomes . ▁The ▁impact ▁of ▁such ▁decisions ▁is ▁further ▁mod er ated ▁by ▁available ▁health ▁and ▁social ▁care ▁provision , ▁the ▁financial ▁and ▁economic ▁situation ▁of ▁the ▁mother ▁and , ▁in ▁the ▁context ▁of ▁viral ▁transmission , ▁the ▁specific ▁characteristics ▁of ▁the ▁virus . ▁Resources ▁and ▁other ▁considerations ▁acceptability ▁and ▁feasibility ▁M olnupiravir ▁is ▁unl ike ly ▁to ▁be ▁available ▁for ▁all ▁individuals ▁who , ▁given ▁the ▁option , ▁would ▁choose ▁to ▁receive ▁the ▁treatment . ▁Ad op tion ▁of ▁the ▁mask ▁recommendation ▁should ▁include ▁appropriate ▁and ▁consist ent ▁supervision ▁by ▁an ▁adult ▁and ▁the ▁ability ▁to ▁ensure ▁mask ▁comp liance ▁and ▁adherence , ▁especially ▁if ▁mask - w earing ▁is ▁expected ▁for ▁an ▁extended ▁period . ▁Evidence ▁indicates ▁that ▁even ▁as y mpt om atic ▁infection ▁among ▁pregnant ▁women ▁may ▁result ▁in ▁congenital ▁Zika ▁syndrome . ▁The ▁opt imal ▁approach ▁to ▁PDMC ▁implementation ▁may ▁vary ▁in ▁different ▁places ▁and , ▁where ▁CH W s ▁are ▁involved , ▁may ▁benefit ▁from ▁a ▁direct ▁link ▁between ▁health ▁facilities ▁and ▁community - based ▁care . ▁GDG ▁members ▁indicated ▁that ▁the ▁benefits ▁of ▁mask ▁use ▁outwe igh ▁the ▁potential ▁harms ▁as ▁masks ▁are ▁an ▁effective ▁m it igation ▁tool , ▁especially ▁in ▁c row ded , ▁enclosed ▁and ▁poor ly ▁vent ilated ▁settings ▁such ▁as ▁those ▁that ▁are ▁common ▁in ▁public ▁transportation , ▁bus y ▁store s , ▁c row ded ▁work pl aces ▁and ▁educational ▁centres . ▁The ▁effect ▁is ▁lower ▁but ▁remains ▁significant ▁in ▁the ▁highest ▁SP ▁resistance ▁areas 1 ▁. ▁This ▁reinfor ces ▁that ▁molnupiravir ▁should ▁be ▁reserv ed ▁for ▁those ▁at ▁high ▁risk . ▁WHO ▁currently ▁view s ▁these ▁two ▁interventions ▁as ▁being ▁equally ▁effective ▁ways ▁of ▁delivering ▁an ▁insecticide . ▁Most ▁caregivers ▁prefer red ▁S MS ▁remind ers ▁over ▁CH W ▁visits , ▁but ▁those ▁who ▁didn ’ t ▁own ▁a ▁phone ▁had ▁to ▁receive ▁remind ers ▁through ▁neigh b ours ▁and / or ▁family ▁members , ▁which ▁caused ▁delays . ▁Count ries ▁should ▁regular ly ▁assess ▁the ▁int ensity ▁of ▁spread ▁and ▁health ▁systems ▁cap ac ities ▁at ▁the ▁most ▁local ized ▁levels ▁possible . ▁The ▁GDG ▁determined ▁that ▁there ▁was ▁probably ▁no ▁important ▁uncertainty ▁or ▁variability ▁in ▁how ▁the ▁main ▁outcomes ▁of ▁SMC ▁are ▁valued . ▁In ▁settings ▁with ▁a ▁P f d h ps 5 40 ▁mut ation ▁frequ ency ▁of ▁up ▁to ▁50% , ▁3 – 4 ▁doses ▁of ▁PMC ▁with ▁SP ▁reduced ▁clinical ▁malaria ▁by ▁30% ▁over ▁the ▁first ▁year ▁of ▁life ▁. ▁Additionally , ▁the ▁selection ▁of ▁the ▁compar ator ▁should ▁consider ▁other ▁interventions ▁that ▁are ▁known ▁to ▁be ▁cost - effect ive , ▁for ▁example , ▁larviciding . ▁If ▁house ▁screening ▁is ▁deployed ▁or ▁adopted ▁by ▁communities ▁to ▁prevent ▁malaria , ▁post - d ist ribution ▁monitoring ▁of ▁the ▁intervention ▁is ▁needed ▁to ▁assess ▁material ▁dur ability , ▁us age ▁and ▁coverage . ▁Three ▁randomized ▁double b l ind ▁place bo - cont rolled ▁trials ▁were ▁included ▁in ▁the ▁review . ▁The ▁main ▁outcome ▁of ▁interest ▁was ▁the ▁impact ▁of ▁IPTsc ▁on ▁confirmed ▁clinical ▁malaria . ▁Thus , ▁screening ▁questions ▁may ▁need ▁to ▁be ▁adjusted ▁for ▁certain ▁settings ▁and ▁guided ▁by ▁epidemi olog ic ▁considerations . ▁The ▁studies ▁examined ▁very ▁specific ▁interventions , ▁each ▁studied ▁in ▁a ▁single ▁site , ▁which ▁the ▁GDG ▁judged ▁would ▁limit ▁their ▁general iz ability . ▁The ▁view s ▁of ▁teachers ▁and ▁other ▁educ ators ▁on ▁risks ▁and ▁time ▁burden ▁required ▁to ▁ensure ▁mask ▁adherence ▁by ▁children ▁should ▁be ▁considered . ▁D ow ng r aded ▁for ▁risk ▁of ▁bias , ▁imprecision ▁and ▁public ation ▁bias . ▁Sub group ▁analyses ▁The ▁panel ▁did ▁not ▁find ▁any ▁evidence ▁bearing ▁on ▁the ▁question ▁of ▁subgroup ▁effects ▁across ▁patients ▁with ▁different ▁levels ▁of ▁disease ▁severity , ▁between ▁children ▁and ▁adults , ▁by ▁different ▁ant ico ag ul ant ▁reg imens ▁( inc lud ing ▁agent , ▁dose ▁and ▁duration ), ▁and ▁therefore ▁did ▁not ▁make ▁any ▁subgroup ▁recommendations . ▁In ▁general , ▁mean ▁z -

c ond u cted ▁studies ▁with ▁epidemi ological ▁endpoint s ▁to ▁demonst rate ▁the ▁public ▁health ▁value ▁of ▁the ▁intervention . ▁Bal ance ▁of ▁benefits ▁and ▁harm ▁The ▁benefits ▁of ▁mod ifying ▁infant ▁feeding ▁practices ▁compared ▁with ▁no ▁mod ification ▁or ▁standard ▁of ▁care ▁far ▁outwe igh ▁the ▁potential ▁risks . ▁P sych ot ro pic ▁medic ations ▁with ▁sed ative ▁prop ri eties , ▁such ▁as ▁b en z od ia z ep ines , ▁can ▁wor s en ▁respiratory ▁function . ▁Practical ▁info ▁Given ▁the ▁conditional ▁recommendation ▁against ▁using ▁nirmatrelvir - ritonavir ▁for ▁patients ▁with ▁non - severe ▁COVID -19 ▁at ▁low ▁risk ▁of ▁hospitalization , ▁practical ▁considerations ▁were ▁felt ▁to ▁be ▁less ▁relevant ▁here . ▁Summary ▁evidence ▁summary ▁the ▁L N MA ▁for ▁molnupiravir ▁was ▁informed ▁by ▁12 ▁RCTs ▁which ▁enrolled ▁31 ▁512 ▁patients ▁to ▁molnupiravir ▁or ▁a ▁control ▁with ▁non -

CoV -2 ▁infection ▁compared ▁to ▁no ▁mask ▁use . ▁Under standing ▁and ▁contro lling ▁building ▁ventilation ▁can ▁improve ▁the ▁quality ▁of ▁the ▁air ▁we ▁b reat he ▁and ▁reduce ▁the ▁risk ▁of ▁ind oor ▁health ▁concerns , ▁including ▁preventing ▁the ▁virus ▁that ▁ca uses ▁COVID -19 ▁from ▁spreading ▁ind o ors . ▁All ▁studies ▁enrolled ▁un v acc inated ▁individuals ▁with ▁time ▁from ▁sympt om ▁onset ▁within ▁5 ▁days . ▁Count ries ▁may ▁choose ▁to ▁continue ▁to ▁use ▁testing ▁as ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁release ▁criteria . ▁2 ▁Pe rennial ▁malaria ▁chemoprevention ▁( P MC ) ▁- ▁former ly ▁inter mittent ▁preventive ▁treatment ▁of ▁malaria ▁in ▁infants ▁( IPT i ) ▁Pe rennial ▁malaria ▁chemoprevention ▁( P MC ) ▁is ▁the ▁administration ▁of ▁a ▁full ▁treatment ▁course ▁of ▁an ▁antimalarial ▁medicine ▁at ▁pred e f ined ▁intervals , ▁regard less ▁of ▁whether ▁the ▁child ▁is ▁infected ▁with ▁malaria , ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁prevent ▁illness ▁in ▁moderate ▁to ▁high ▁perennial ▁malaria ▁transmission ▁settings . ▁Re -

certainty ▁evidence ). ▁Most ▁participants ▁in ▁both ▁trials ▁ch ose ▁to ▁have ▁screening ▁after ▁the ▁duration ▁of ▁the ▁trial . ▁The ▁GDG ▁judged ▁these ▁to ▁be ▁few ▁and ▁m ild . ▁Techn iques ▁include ▁gra v ity - ass isted ▁d rainage ▁and ▁active ▁cycle ▁of ▁breathing ▁techn ique . ▁Remarks : ▁A ▁person ▁ent ers ▁the ▁COVID -19 ▁care ▁pathway ▁after ▁s / he ▁is ▁scre ened , ▁based ▁on ▁a ▁standard ized ▁case ▁defin ition , ▁including ▁assessment ▁of ▁symptoms , ▁and ▁meet s ▁criteria ▁for ▁a ▁suspect ▁case . S us pect ▁cases ▁may ▁be ▁referred ▁to ▁as ▁“ p ers ons ▁or ▁patients ▁under ▁investigation ” ▁( P U Is ) ▁in ▁some ▁contexts . Pro b able ▁cases ▁are ▁suspect ▁cases ▁for ▁whom ▁testing ▁for ▁SARS - CoV -2 ▁is ▁inc on cl usive ▁or ▁not ▁available . Con f irmed ▁cases ▁are ▁persons ▁with ▁labor atory ▁confirm ation ▁of ▁infection ▁with ▁SARS - CoV -2 . ▁The ▁WHO ▁Guideline ▁Ste ering ▁Committee ▁dra f ted ▁the ▁key ▁questions ▁in ▁P IC O ▁format , ▁identified ▁the ▁systematic ▁review ▁team ▁and ▁guideline ▁method ologists , ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁the ▁Guideline ▁Development ▁Group ▁and ▁ex ternal ▁review ▁groups . ▁The ▁ant icip ated ▁des irable ▁effects ▁of ▁space ▁sp ray ing ▁are ▁likely ▁to ▁be ▁small , ▁as ▁the ▁insecticide ▁form ulations ▁used ▁are ▁short - l ived . ▁As ▁for ▁many ▁vector ▁control ▁interventions , ▁the ▁impact ▁of ▁IRS ▁may ▁vary ▁in ▁different ▁settings ▁depending ▁on ▁a ▁number ▁of ▁factors , ▁such ▁as ▁the ▁behaviour ▁of ▁the ▁mosquito ▁species , ▁the ▁level ▁and ▁mechanism ( s ) ▁of ▁insecticide ▁resistance ▁in ▁ve ctors , ▁parasite ▁prevalence , ▁and ▁coverage ▁of ▁IRS ▁in ▁the ▁population . ▁Child ▁with ▁clinical ▁signs ▁of ▁pneumonia ▁( c ough ▁or ▁difficulty ▁in ▁breathing ▁+ ▁fast ▁breathing or ▁c hest ▁wall ▁ind raw ing ) ▁+ ▁at ▁least ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁following : S e vere ▁disease ▁Sp O 2 ▁< ▁90% ; ▁Se vere ▁pneumonia ▁V ery ▁severe ▁c hest ▁wall ▁ind raw ing , ▁g ru nt ing , ▁central ▁cy an osis , ▁or ▁presence ▁of ▁any ▁other ▁general ▁danger ▁sign ▁( in ability ▁to ▁breastfeed ▁or ▁drink , ▁le th ar gy ▁or un c ons cious ness , ▁or ▁conv uls ions ). Wh ile ▁the ▁diagnosis ▁can ▁be ▁made ▁on ▁clinical ▁ground s ; ▁c hest ▁im aging ▁( r adi ograph , ▁C T sc an , ▁ult ras ound ) ▁may ▁assist ▁in ▁diagnosis ▁and ▁identify ▁or ▁exclud e ▁p ul mon ary comp lications . ▁Con c ern s ▁m it ig ated ▁because ▁of ▁large ▁effect ▁and ▁indirect ▁evidence ▁showing ▁consist ent ▁results . ▁Two ▁Inf ant ▁feeding ▁among ▁infants ▁affected ▁by ▁complications ▁associated ▁with ▁the ▁Zika ▁virus : ▁Among ▁infants ▁(0 –12 ▁months ▁old ) ▁affected ▁by ▁complications ▁associated ▁with ▁the ▁Zika ▁virus , ▁what ▁mod ifications ▁in ▁infant ▁feeding ▁practices , ▁compared ▁with ▁no ▁mod ification ▁or ▁standard ▁care , ▁can ▁improve ▁infant ▁outcomes ? ▁F resh ▁milk ▁does ▁not ▁in hib it ▁Zika ▁virus ▁infection ; ▁however , ▁when ▁the ▁milk ▁was ▁st ored , ▁the ▁in hib ition ▁of ▁the ▁virus ▁increased ▁in ▁some ▁samples ▁as ▁quickly ▁as ▁in ▁30 ▁minutes ▁and ▁the ▁infection ▁was ▁completely ▁lost ▁after ▁two ▁days ▁of ▁st or age . ▁Rel iable ▁risk ▁pro gn ost ication ▁models ▁for ▁hospitalization ▁and ▁other ▁patient - im port ant ▁outcomes ▁for ▁patients ▁with ▁non - severe ▁illness ▁remain ▁limited . ▁This ▁was ▁based ▁on ▁the ▁low ▁certainty ▁of ▁evidence ▁and ▁likely ▁lack ▁of ▁acceptability . ▁National ▁malaria ▁programmes ▁may ▁be ▁able ▁to ▁work ▁with ▁existing ▁health ▁programmes ▁target ing ▁school aged ▁children ▁to ▁facilit ate ▁delivery ▁of ▁IPTsc . ▁Ind e pend ently ▁of ▁the ▁route ▁of ▁transmission , ▁the ▁consequences ▁of ▁Zika ▁virus ▁infection ▁among ▁infants ▁are ▁generally ▁m ild ▁and ▁trans ient . ▁A ▁recent ▁review ▁indicated ▁that ▁hous ing ▁quality ▁is ▁an ▁important ▁risk ▁factor ▁for ▁malaria ▁infection ▁across ▁the ▁sp ect r um ▁of ▁malaria ▁endemic ity ▁in ▁sub - S aharan ▁Africa ▁. ▁Justification ▁In ▁low - risk ▁patients , ▁benefits ▁of ▁molnupiravir ▁in ▁reducing ▁hospitalization ▁are ▁tri v ial . ▁The ▁primary ▁outcome ▁of ▁interest ▁was ▁incidence ▁of ▁confirmed ▁clinical ▁malaria . ▁Rem ark : ▁St ar ches ▁are ▁associated ▁with ▁an ▁increased ▁risk ▁of ▁death ▁and ▁acute ▁kid ney ▁inj ury ▁compared ▁with ▁cry st all o ids . ▁Evidence ▁to ▁decision ▁benefits ▁and ▁harms ▁VV 116 ▁is ▁an ▁oral ▁ant ivir al ▁that ▁is ▁chem ically ▁related ▁to ▁remdesivir . ▁However , ▁a ▁subsequent ▁RCT ▁of ▁high ▁PEEP ▁and ▁pro l ong ed ▁high - p ress ure ▁R M s ▁showed ▁harm , ▁suggesting ▁that ▁the ▁protoc ol ▁in ▁this ▁RCT ▁should ▁be ▁av o ided . ▁Justification ▁when ▁considering ▁remdesivir ▁in ▁patients ▁with ▁non - severe ▁COVID -19 ▁at ▁moderate ▁risk ▁of ▁hospitalization , ▁the ▁GDG ▁emphasized ▁the ▁limited ▁benefits ▁of ▁decreased ▁need ▁for ▁hospitalization , ▁uncertainty ▁in ▁adverse ▁effects , ▁and ▁the ▁challenge ▁of ▁identifying ▁patients ▁at ▁moderate ▁risk ▁in ▁the ▁absence ▁of ▁cred ible ▁risk ▁pred ict ion ▁tools . ▁All ▁trials ▁spec ified ▁that ▁pregnancy ▁or ▁planning ▁to ▁get ▁pregnant ▁are ▁excl usion ▁criteria , ▁some ▁requ iring ▁a ▁negative ▁pregnancy ▁test ▁before ▁en rol ment . ▁The ▁studies ▁provided ▁low - ▁or ▁very ▁low - certainty ▁evidence ▁that ▁the ▁controlled ▁release ▁of ▁water ▁from ▁f lood ▁gates ▁of ▁dam s ▁to ▁dis charge ▁ex cess ▁water ▁or ▁using ▁sp ill ways ▁( over flow ▁ch ann els ) ▁across ▁stream s ▁to ▁aut om at ically ▁fl ush ▁downstream ▁areas ▁with ▁water ▁( contin ually ▁or ▁inter mitt ently ) ▁reduced ▁clinical ▁malaria ▁incidence ▁or ▁parasite ▁prevalence . ▁The ▁MDA ▁recommendations ▁are ▁subject ▁to ▁considerations , ▁identified ▁by ▁the ▁GDG s , ▁which ▁will ▁influence ▁the ▁lik eli hood ▁of ▁successful ▁outcomes . ▁Moderate ▁to ▁high ▁perennial ▁malaria ▁transmission ▁settings ▁are ▁defined ▁as ▁areas ▁with ▁P . ▁falciparum ▁parasite ▁prevalence ▁greater ▁than ▁10% ▁or ▁an ▁annual ▁parasite ▁incidence ▁greater ▁than ▁250 ▁per ▁1000 . ▁High ▁research ▁standards ▁should ▁be ▁employ ed ▁in ▁conducting , ▁analys ing ▁and ▁reporting ▁studies , ▁ensuring ▁that ▁studies ▁are ▁adequ ately ▁pow ered , ▁and ▁appropriate ▁random ization ▁methods ▁and ▁stat istical ▁analyses ▁are ▁used . ▁Values ▁and ▁preferences ▁qual it ative ▁systematic ▁reviews ▁were ▁conducted ▁to ▁summar ize ▁and ▁assess ▁the ▁values ▁and ▁preferences ▁of ▁relevant ▁stakeholders ▁( s uch ▁as ▁pregnant ▁women , ▁mothers , ▁family ▁members , ▁and ▁health care ▁pract ition ers ) ▁concerning ▁infant ▁feeding ▁(0 –2 ▁years ) ▁in ▁the ▁presence ▁of ▁congenital ▁Zika ▁syndrome ▁( the ▁direct ▁evidence ) ▁and ▁severe ▁dis ability ▁and ▁non pro gress ive ▁chronic ▁ ence ph al op ath ies ▁( ind irect ▁evidence ), ▁which ▁present ▁with ▁similar ▁problems . ▁Remarks : ▁C ry st all o ids ▁include ▁normal ▁sal ine ▁and ▁R ing er ’ s ▁lact ate . ▁A ▁P . ▁falciparum ▁prevalence ▁( P f P R 2 -1 0) ▁of ▁around ▁10% ▁( or ▁incidence ▁of inf ection ▁around ▁250 ▁per ▁1000 ▁population ▁per ▁year ) ▁may ▁be used ▁to ▁different iate ▁areas ▁of ▁low ▁to ▁very ▁low ▁transmission ▁from ▁areas ▁of ▁moderate ▁to ▁high ▁transmission . ▁Com b ined ▁with ▁the ▁human ▁resource ▁needs ▁and ▁the ▁need ▁for ▁large ▁amount s ▁of ▁insecticide , ▁the ▁costs ▁are ▁ant icip ated ▁to ▁be ▁high , ▁especially ▁given ▁the ▁low ▁res idual ▁effect ▁of ▁the ▁chem ical s ▁used . ▁Values ▁and ▁preferences ▁substant ial ▁variability ▁is ▁expected ▁or ▁uncertain ▁it ▁was ▁not ▁possible ▁to ▁assess ▁the ▁values ▁and ▁preferences ▁as ▁there ▁is ▁a ▁lack ▁of ▁evidence ▁on ▁the ▁effects ▁of ▁glo ve ▁use ▁in ▁the ▁community ▁and ▁on ▁the ▁impact ▁it ▁may ▁have ▁on ▁SARS - CoV -2 ▁infection . ▁Non - severe ▁COVID -19 ▁– ▁Def ined ▁as ▁absence ▁of ▁any ▁criteria ▁for ▁severe ▁or ▁critical ▁COVID -19. ▁Supp ort ing ▁re ferences : ▁The ▁95% ▁CI ▁cross es ▁the ▁minim ally ▁important ▁difference ▁(2 % ▁reduction ▁in ▁mortality ). ▁Mal aria ▁may ▁be ▁prevent ed ▁by ▁taking ▁drugs ▁that ▁in hib it ▁l iver - st age ▁( pre ery th ro cy t ic ) ▁development ▁( c a usal ▁pro phylaxis ) ▁or ▁drugs ▁that ▁kill ▁a se x ual ▁blood ▁st ages ▁( su pp ressive ▁pro phylaxis ). ▁The ▁A MST AR -2 ▁Che ck list ▁assessment ▁concluded ▁that ▁the ▁systematic ▁review ▁was ▁of ▁sufficient ▁quality , ▁and ▁the ▁inc lusion ▁of ▁one ▁new ▁study ▁identified ▁since ▁the ▁systematic ▁review ▁was ▁published ▁did ▁not ▁substant ially ▁change ▁the ▁conc l usions ▁( G ut man ▁et ▁al ▁unpublished ▁evidence ▁( c )). ▁This ▁outcome ▁was ▁not ▁collected ▁system at ically ▁and ▁the ▁defin ition ▁of ▁del ir ium ▁was ▁not ▁spec ified . ▁WHO ▁recommend s ▁that ▁malaria ▁programmes ▁tail or ▁intervention ▁pack ages ▁to ▁their ▁local ▁context . ▁Patients ▁on ▁therapeutic ▁d osing ▁of ▁unf ra ction ated ▁he par in ▁require ▁monitoring ▁of ▁part ial ▁th rom b op l ast in ▁time ▁or ▁anti - fact or ▁X a ▁levels ▁and ▁ide ally ▁pl ate let ▁count . ▁Remarks : ▁As k ▁the ▁suspected ▁or ▁confirmed ▁COVID -19 ▁patient ▁to ▁wear ▁a ▁medical ▁mask ▁and ▁direct ▁the ▁patient ▁to ▁a ▁separate , ▁well - vent ilated ▁area , ▁ide ally ▁an ▁is ol ation ▁room / are a ▁if ▁available . ▁In ▁addition , ▁ant im icro b ial ▁fab ric ▁standards ▁( e . g . ▁I SO ▁18 18 4, ▁I SO ▁20 7 4 3, ▁A AT CC ▁T M 100 , ▁A AT CC ▁100 ) ▁generally ▁act ▁slowly . ▁Children ▁with ▁suspected ▁or ▁confirmed ▁COVID -19 ▁infection ▁should ▁be ▁kept ▁together ▁with ▁caregivers ▁where ver ▁possible ▁( if ▁caregivers ▁also h ave ▁suspected ▁or ▁confirmed ▁COVID -19 ▁infection ), ▁and ▁c ared ▁for ▁in ▁child - friend ly ▁sp aces , ▁taking ▁into ▁account ▁specific ▁medical , ▁n urs ing , n utritional , ▁and ▁mental ▁health ▁and ▁psych os ocial ▁support ▁needs ▁of ▁children . ▁In ▁addition , ▁the ▁G lobal ▁Action ▁Plan ▁for ▁the ▁Pre vention ▁and ▁Control ▁of ▁Non com mun ic able ▁D ise ases ▁2013 – 20 20 ▁l ays ▁out ▁diet - rel ated ▁targets ▁for ▁non com mun ic able ▁diseases . ▁Similarly , ▁a ▁sat uration ▁> 90 - 94 % ▁on ▁room ▁air ▁is ▁ab n orm al ▁( in ▁patient ▁with ▁normal ▁l ung s ) ▁and ▁can ▁be ▁an ▁early ▁sign ▁of ▁severe ▁disease , ▁if ▁patient ▁is ▁on ▁a ▁down ward ▁trend . ▁The ▁GDG ▁determined ▁that ▁the ▁balance ▁between ▁des irable ▁and ▁undesirable ▁effects ▁fav oured ▁PDMC ; ▁moderate ▁cost ▁sa v ings ▁were ▁probably ▁associated ▁with ▁PDMC ▁implementation ; ▁PDMC ▁is ▁therefore ▁probably ▁cost - effect ive , ▁although ▁the ▁certainty ▁of ▁evidence ▁regarding ▁required ▁resources ▁was ▁low ; ▁and ▁PDMC ▁is ▁probably ▁accept able ▁to ▁key ▁stakeholders , ▁but ▁the ▁feasibility ▁of ▁implementing ▁PDMC ▁at ▁scale ▁is ▁not ▁known . ▁None ▁should ▁prevent ▁adop tion ▁and ▁implementation ▁of ▁PMC . ▁For ▁patients ▁with ▁non - severe ▁illness , ▁we ▁used ▁the ▁med ian ▁of ▁the ▁control ▁arm ▁of ▁the ▁RCTs ▁that ▁contrib uted ▁to ▁the ▁evidence , ▁identified ▁in ▁the ▁L N MA . ▁Practical ▁info ▁given ▁the ▁conditional ▁recommendation ▁against ▁using ▁molnupiravir ▁for ▁patients ▁with ▁non - severe ▁COVID -19 ▁at ▁moderate ▁risk ▁of ▁hospital izations , ▁practical ▁considerations ▁were ▁felt ▁to ▁be ▁less ▁relevant ▁here . ▁We ▁used ▁the ▁med ian ▁event ▁rate ▁for ▁all ▁patients ▁randomized ▁to ▁usual ▁care ▁across ▁included ▁studies . ▁For ▁the ▁former , ▁eight ▁studies ▁were ▁identified . ▁Writ ten ▁remind ers ▁of ▁PDMC ▁treatment ▁dates ▁on ▁children ’ s ▁health ▁cards ▁were ▁positive ly ▁view ed ▁by ▁participants . ▁IPTp - SP ▁was ▁associated ▁with ▁a ▁mean ▁increase ▁in ▁birth weight ▁of ▁67 ▁g ▁(95 % ▁CI : ▁50 – 85 ▁g ) ▁in ▁babies ▁born ▁to ▁women ▁in ▁their ▁first ▁and ▁second ▁pregnancies ▁and ▁43 ▁g ▁(95 % ▁CI : ▁26 – 60 ▁g ) ▁in ▁third ▁or ▁subsequent ▁pregnancies . ▁However , ▁the ▁systematic ▁review ▁on ▁larviciding ▁conducted ▁in ▁2019 ▁assessed ▁that ▁the ▁certainty ▁of ▁evidence ▁of ▁impact ▁on ▁malaria ▁incidence ▁or ▁parasite ▁prevalence ▁was ▁moderate ▁or ▁low ▁in ▁non - e xt ensive ▁habit ats . ▁Therefore , ▁there ▁is ▁no ▁known ▁mole c ular , ▁pharmac ok inet ic ▁or ▁pharmac ody nam ic ▁basis ▁for ▁a ▁change ▁in ▁activity ▁of ▁remdesivir ▁since ▁initial ▁RCTs ▁were ▁conducted . ▁The ▁GDG ▁noted ▁sust ained ▁impact ▁of ▁IPTp - SP ▁across ▁all ▁transmission ▁and ▁resistance ▁settings . ▁This ▁was ▁reduced ▁to ▁21 ▁days ▁in ▁a ▁setting ▁where ▁89 % ▁of ▁paras ites ▁carried ▁the ▁qu int up le ▁mut ation ▁. ▁The ▁WHO ▁model ▁list ▁of ▁essential ▁medicines ▁notes ▁that ▁selection ▁of ▁essential ▁therapeut ics ▁for ▁COVID -19 ▁at ▁the ▁national ▁level ▁should ▁be ▁informed ▁by ▁recommendations ▁in ▁these ▁guidelines , ▁with ▁consideration ▁of ▁the ▁latest ▁evidence , ▁epidemi ology ▁and ▁national ▁pri orities . ▁Under lying ▁non com mun ic able ▁diseases ▁( NC D s ): ▁di abetes , ▁hy per t ension , ▁card i ac ▁disease , ▁chronic ▁l ung ▁disease , ▁ce re bro v asc ular ▁disease , ▁de ment ia , ▁mental ▁dis ord ers , ▁chronic ▁kid ney ▁disease , ▁immun os u pp ression , ▁HIV ▁, ▁ob es ity ▁and ▁cancer ▁have ▁been ▁associated ▁with ▁higher ▁mortality . ▁The ▁GDG ▁decided ▁for ▁this ▁strong ▁recommendation ▁in ▁con j unction ▁with ▁the ▁conditional ▁recommendation ▁on ▁a ▁risk - based ▁approach ▁for ▁mask ▁use , ▁to ▁ensure ▁coverage ▁across ▁all ▁situations ▁where ▁mask ing ▁may ▁be ▁benef icial . ▁Cred ible ▁intervals ▁include ▁both ▁important ▁benefit ▁and ▁important ▁harm . ▁In ▁the ▁13 th ▁version ▁of ▁the ▁guideline , ▁the ▁GDG ▁reviewed ▁additional ▁in ▁v it ro ▁ne ut ral ization ▁data ▁that ▁emer ged ▁after ▁the ▁change ▁in ▁the ▁guideline ▁for ▁s ot ro v imab ▁and ▁cas ir iv imab - im de v imab , ▁and ▁that ▁included ▁information ▁on ▁new ▁variants . ▁Community - d el ivered ▁PDMC ▁was ▁found ▁to ▁be ▁more ▁cost - s aving ▁compared ▁to ▁health ▁facility - based ▁delivery ▁due ▁to ▁costs ▁from ▁repeated ▁travel ▁for ▁drug ▁collection , ▁which ▁also ▁pos ed ▁a ▁dis in cent ive ▁to ▁adherence . ▁A ▁significant ▁effect ▁of ▁topical ▁repellents ▁was ▁observed ▁against ▁malaria ▁prevalence ▁( OR : ▁0.8 1; ▁95% ▁CI : ▁0.6 7 –0 .9 7) ; ▁however , ▁the ▁certainty ▁of ▁evidence ▁was ▁gr aded ▁as ▁low ▁due ▁to ▁concerns ▁over ▁risk ▁of ▁bias , ▁imprecision ▁and ▁indirect ness ▁present ▁in ▁the ▁studies ▁included . ▁GDG ▁decided ▁not ▁to ▁rate ▁down ▁for ▁imprecision , ▁because ▁cred ible ▁interval ▁exclud es ▁an ▁important ▁effect , ▁and ▁bas eline ▁risk ▁is ▁low . ▁The ▁Gr ading ▁of ▁Recommend ations ▁Ass essment , ▁Development ▁and ▁Evaluation ▁( G RADE ) ▁method ▁is ▁used ▁to ▁assess ▁the ▁overall ▁quality ▁of ▁evidence ▁and ▁establish ▁the ▁strength ▁of ▁the ▁recommendations , ▁considering ▁the ▁balance ▁among ▁risks ▁and ▁benefits , ▁values , ▁preferences ▁and ▁costs . ▁The ▁economic ▁burden ▁of ▁formula ▁feeding ▁may ▁ex acer b ate ▁the ▁socio economic ▁standing ▁of ▁families ▁with ▁babies ▁affected ▁by ▁congenital ▁Zika ▁syndrome . ▁Evidence ▁from ▁season al ▁malaria ▁chemoprevention ▁( S MC ) ▁programmes , ▁where ▁the ▁age ▁of ▁the ▁target ▁population ▁over l aps ▁with ▁that ▁of ▁PMC , ▁also ▁shows ▁that ▁the ▁impact ▁of ▁chemoprevention ▁on ▁disease ▁burden ▁can ▁be ▁sust ained ▁beyond ▁inf ancy ▁with ▁additional ▁doses . ▁Un c ertain ties ▁Further ▁RCTs ▁are ▁recommended ▁to ▁better ▁def ine ▁benefits ▁and ▁harms , ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁specific ▁populations ▁of ▁interest . ▁However , ▁the ▁effect ▁of ▁IPTsc ▁on ▁P . ▁falciparum ▁infection ▁was ▁similar ▁across ▁these ▁two ▁age ▁groups . ▁Recommend ed ▁comb inations ▁of ▁treat ments ▁are ▁based ▁on ▁direct ▁compar isons ▁from ▁trials ▁demonst r ating ▁additional ▁benefit , ▁such ▁as ▁adding ▁the ▁J A K ▁in hib itor ▁bar ic it inib ▁to ▁I L -6 ▁recept or ▁block ers ▁and ▁to ▁system ic ▁corticosteroids ▁in ▁patients ▁with ▁severe ▁or ▁critical ▁COVID -19. ▁Despite ▁the ▁limited ▁evidence ▁of ▁MDA ▁impact ▁on ▁disease ▁in ▁emergency ▁settings , ▁the ▁GDG ▁considered ▁that ▁the ▁bi ological ▁effects ▁of ▁MDA ▁on ▁disease ▁in ▁non - em erg ency ▁settings ▁would ▁likely ▁transl ate ▁to ▁MDA ▁rec ip ients ▁in ▁emergency ▁settings . ▁Inf ants ▁with ▁congenital ▁Zika ▁syndrome ▁also ▁had ▁a ▁limited ▁vari ety ▁of ▁food s ▁in ▁their ▁diet ▁and ▁l ip id ▁int ake ▁below ▁recommended ▁allow ances . ▁Sep s is ▁Ad ult s : ▁acute ▁life -

back ▁in ▁areas ▁with ▁ongoing ▁local ▁malaria ▁transmission ▁In ▁areas ▁with ▁ongoing ▁local ▁malaria ▁transmission ▁( ir res pective ▁of ▁both ▁the ▁pre - inter vention ▁and ▁current ▁level ▁of t r ans mission ), ▁vector ▁control ▁interventions ▁should ▁not ▁be ▁scaled ▁back . E ns uring ▁access ▁to ▁effective ▁malaria ▁vector ▁control ▁at ▁opt imal ▁levels ▁for ▁all ▁inhabitants ▁of ▁such ▁areas ▁should ▁be ▁purs ued ▁and ▁maintained . ▁Given ▁that ▁only ▁two ▁trials ▁were ▁included ▁in ▁the ▁review , ▁a ▁number ▁of ▁potential ▁effect ▁mod if iers ▁could ▁not ▁be ▁examined , ▁and ▁the ▁general iz ability ▁of ▁the ▁findings ▁was ▁limited . ▁Four ▁trials ▁have ▁evaluated ▁1 –12 ▁doses ▁of ▁SP ▁for ▁PMC ▁in ▁the ▁second ▁year ▁of ▁life . ▁See ▁the ▁WHO ▁Clin ical ▁care ▁for ▁severe ▁acute ▁respiratory ▁infection ▁tool k it : ▁COVID -19 ▁ad apt ation ▁for ▁practical ▁tools ▁to ▁assist ▁implementation . ▁F ab ric s ▁with ▁higher ▁th read ▁count s ▁offer ▁improved ▁f ilt ration ▁performance . ▁If ▁recommendations ▁are ▁not ▁in ▁place , ▁a ▁recommended ▁ventilation ▁rate ▁of ▁10 l / s / ▁person ▁should ▁be ▁met ▁( ex cept ▁in ▁health - care ▁facilities ▁that ▁have ▁specific ▁requirements ). ▁G lo ves ▁may ▁also ▁be ▁indicated ▁for ▁preparation ▁or ▁application ▁of ▁dis inf ect ant ▁products ▁to ▁avoid ▁contact ▁with ▁chem ical s ▁or ▁ ing red ients ▁that ▁can ▁be ▁ir rit ating ▁when ▁in ▁direct ▁contact ▁with ▁hands ▁( s k in ). ▁Con c ern s ▁around ▁risk ▁of ▁bias . ▁Stud ies ▁conducted ▁in ▁one ▁country ▁showed ▁no ▁difference ▁in ▁effect ▁size ▁against ▁clinical ▁malaria ▁incidence ▁between ▁children ▁< 5 ▁years ▁and ▁those ▁5 – 9 ▁years . ▁The ▁harms ▁of ▁aw ake ▁pr one ▁position ing ▁are ▁possibly ▁patient ▁disc om fort ▁and ▁pain ▁( very ▁low ▁certainty ). ▁H ous ing ▁mod ifications ▁In ▁the ▁context ▁of ▁malaria ▁control , ▁hous ing ▁mod ifications ▁are ▁defined ▁as ▁any ▁struct ural ▁changes , ▁pre - ▁or ▁post - con struction , ▁of ▁a ▁house ▁that ▁pre v ents ▁the ▁entry ▁of ▁mosquit oes ▁and ▁decre ases ▁exposure ▁of ▁inhabitants ▁to ▁ve ctors ▁with ▁the ▁aim ▁of ▁preventing ▁or ▁reducing ▁the ▁transmission ▁of ▁malaria . ▁These ▁sources ▁of ▁information ▁were ▁supp lement ed ▁by ▁a ▁cross - cut ting ▁review ▁on ▁chemoprevention ▁drug ▁resistance ▁( P low e ▁unpublished ▁evidence ), ▁a ▁civil ▁society ▁consult ation ▁report ▁on ▁chemoprevention ▁( C S 4 ME ▁unpublished ▁evidence ) ▁and ▁contrib utions ▁from ▁the ▁GDG ▁members hip , ▁which ▁included ▁former ▁and ▁current ▁national ▁malaria ▁programme ▁represent atives . ▁F if teen ▁ex ternal ▁experts ▁and ▁relevant ▁stakeholders ▁were ▁invited ▁to ▁participate ▁as ▁members ▁of ▁the ▁Guideline ▁Development ▁Group ▁for ▁upd ating ▁this ▁recommendation . ▁R is k ▁factors ▁for ▁severe ▁disease ▁in ▁pregnancy ▁include ▁increasing ▁maternal ▁age , ▁high ▁BMI , ▁non - wh ite ▁eth nic ity , ▁pre - ex ist ing ▁com or bid ities ▁and ▁pregnancy - specific ▁conditions ▁such ▁as ▁g est ational ▁di abetes ▁and ▁pre - ec l amps ia . ▁Some , ▁psych ot ro pic ▁medic ations ▁have ▁Q T c - p rol ong ing ▁activity ▁( s uch ▁as ▁some ▁ant ips y ch ot ics ▁and ▁some ▁ant ide p ress ants ). ▁For ▁patients ▁with ▁COVID -19, ▁regard less ▁of ▁disease ▁severity ▁new ▁Only ▁in ▁research ▁settings ▁we ▁recommend ▁not ▁to ▁use ▁VV 116 , ▁except ▁in ▁the ▁context ▁of ▁a ▁clinical ▁trial ▁( rec ommend ed ▁only ▁in ▁research ▁settings ). ▁Use ▁of ▁formula ▁feeding ▁was ▁frequ ent , ▁both ▁as ▁a ▁supp lement ▁to ▁breast - milk ▁or ▁alone . ▁More ▁information ▁can ▁be ▁found ▁in ▁the ▁summary ▁of ▁contextual ▁factors ▁report ▁for ▁SMC ▁. F e as ibility ▁SMC ▁delivery ▁approaches ▁and ▁coverage ▁vary ▁across ▁countries . ▁WHO ▁guidance ▁was ▁developed ▁according ly ▁to ▁emphasize ▁the ▁need ▁for ▁good - qu ality ▁implementation ▁of ▁either ▁ITNs ▁or ▁IRS , ▁rather ▁than ▁deploy ing ▁both ▁in ▁the ▁same ▁area ▁[ 97 ]. ▁A ▁systematic ▁review ▁evalu ating ▁21 ▁e c ological ▁studies ▁in ▁adults ▁reports ▁that ▁mask ▁use ▁is ▁associated ▁with ▁reduced ▁mortality , ▁reduced ▁incidence ▁of ▁disease , ▁and ▁reduced ▁hospitalization ▁in ▁the ▁community ▁in ▁the ▁context ▁of ▁COVID -19. ▁D os age ▁Children ▁in ▁age ▁groups ▁at ▁increased ▁risk ▁of ▁severe ▁disease ▁should ▁be ▁given ▁a ▁complete ▁course ▁of ▁antimalarial s , ▁at ▁their ▁recommended ▁treatment ▁dose , ▁as ▁PMC . ▁There ▁are ▁moderate ▁concerns ▁about ▁adequacy ▁and ▁relevance ▁because ▁there ▁are ▁only ▁two ▁studies ▁from ▁resource - lim ited ▁settings ▁P arent s ▁report ▁a ▁general ▁lack ▁of ▁control ▁(9 –1 2, 14 ) ▁Moderate ▁confidence ▁Four ▁studies ▁with ▁minor ▁concerns ▁about ▁coherence ▁and ▁minor ▁or ▁moderate ▁methodological ▁limitations : ▁the ▁studies ▁are ▁high ▁quality ▁and ▁the ▁data ▁are ▁rich . ▁Certainty ▁of ▁evidence ▁var ied ▁between ▁risk ▁groups ▁for ▁hospitalization , ▁was ▁high ▁for ▁mortality , ▁and ▁moderate ▁for ▁mechanical ▁ventilation ▁and ▁adverse ▁events ▁leading ▁to ▁drug ▁discontin uation . ▁Further ▁studies ▁are ▁needed ▁to ▁determine ▁whether ▁populations ▁in ▁specific ▁settings ▁and ▁those ▁determined ▁to ▁be ▁at ▁high ▁risk ▁for ▁malaria ▁may ▁benefit ▁from ▁topical ▁repellents . ▁National ▁programmes ▁should ▁opt im ize ▁their ▁testing ▁systems ▁to ▁reflect ▁local ▁epidemi ology , ▁response ▁objectives , ▁available ▁resources ▁and ▁the ▁needs ▁of ▁their ▁populations . ▁App lic ability ▁none ▁of ▁the ▁included ▁studies ▁enrolled ▁children , ▁and ▁therefore ▁the ▁applic ability ▁of ▁this ▁recommendation ▁to ▁children ▁is ▁currently ▁uncertain . ▁However , ▁larviciding ▁may ▁affect ▁non -

severe ▁COVID -19 ▁no ▁evidence ▁was ▁identified ▁to ▁inform ▁the ▁guideline ▁development ▁group ▁( G DG ) ▁regarding ▁what ▁patients ▁with ▁non - severe ▁covid -19 ▁per ceive ▁as ▁an ▁important ▁reduction ▁in ▁risk ▁of ▁hospitalization . ▁One ▁observational ▁study ▁enrolled ▁pregnant ▁women , ▁with ▁very ▁low ▁certainty ▁evidence ▁in ▁this ▁population ▁for ▁a ▁possible ▁reduction ▁in ▁mortality . ▁Most ▁outcomes ▁were ▁low ered ▁for ▁risk ▁of ▁bias ▁and ▁imprecision ▁( w ide ▁confidence ▁intervals ▁which ▁do ▁not ▁exclud e ▁important ▁benefit ▁or ▁harm ). ▁Annex es ▁2 ▁and ▁3 ▁present ▁the ▁GRADE ▁summary ▁of ▁findings ▁tables ▁and ▁the ▁GRADE ▁CE R Qual ▁evidence ▁prof iles ▁inform ing ▁this ▁guideline . ▁These ▁caregivers ▁may ▁also ▁report ▁greater ▁rates ▁of ▁dep ression . ▁The ▁overall ▁effectiveness ▁of ▁IPTsc ▁is ▁likely ▁to ▁be ▁influenced ▁by ▁the ▁local ▁malaria ▁epidemi ology ▁and ▁age ▁burden ▁of ▁disease : ▁if ▁school ▁children ▁are ▁at ▁high ▁risk ▁during ▁the ▁school ▁term , ▁then ▁the ▁cost - effectiveness ▁of ▁IPTsc ▁is ▁likely ▁to ▁increase . ▁One ▁RCT ▁showed ▁no ▁effect ▁of ▁IRS ▁on ▁P . ▁falciparum ▁parasite ▁prevalence ▁( low - certainty ▁evidence ) ▁. ▁IRS ▁was ▁reported ▁to ▁reduce ▁both ▁P . ▁v iv ax ▁parasite ▁incidence ▁and ▁prevalence ▁based ▁on ▁two ▁observational ▁studies , ▁but ▁the ▁certainty ▁of ▁evidence ▁was ▁assessed ▁to ▁be ▁very ▁low . ▁We ▁no ▁longer ▁spec ify ▁st rict ▁age ▁groups , ▁transmission ▁int ensity ▁th res hold s , ▁numbers ▁of ▁doses ▁or ▁cy cles , ▁or ▁specific ▁drugs . ▁General ▁public ▁health ▁practices ▁and ▁IPC ▁principles ▁apply ▁to ▁situations ▁involving ▁care ▁for ▁persons ▁with ▁COVID -19 ▁in ▁home ▁and ▁community ▁settings . ▁Evidence ▁and ▁recommendations ▁F R U ST R ATION , ▁S T R ES S ▁AND ▁B ON D ING ▁CO NC ER NS ▁W H EN ▁F E ED ING ▁THE I R ▁C HI LD ▁Most ▁studies ▁reported ▁that ▁breastfeeding , ▁express ing ▁or ▁bot tle -

S um mary ▁of ▁judge ments ▁The ▁Evidence - to - D ec ision ▁frame work ▁capt ures ▁the ▁evidence ▁from ▁the ▁systematic ▁review ▁considered ▁by ▁the ▁GDG . ▁The ▁certainty ▁of ▁evidence ▁is ▁generally ▁low ▁to ▁very ▁low . ▁If ▁the ▁initial ▁two ▁studies ▁gener ate ▁cont r ad ict ory ▁or ▁inc ons ist ent ▁results ▁or ▁suffer ▁from ▁design ▁limitations ▁that ▁prec lud e ▁comprehensive ▁assessment ▁of ▁an ▁intervention ’ s ▁potential ▁public ▁health ▁value , ▁further ▁trials ▁with ▁epidemi ological ▁endpoint s ▁may ▁be ▁required . ▁Certainty ▁of ▁the ▁Evidence ▁Av ail able ▁evidence ▁includes ▁two ▁open - l abel ▁RCTs ▁and ▁10 ▁observational ▁studies . ▁In ▁cases ▁where ▁children ▁are ▁expected ▁to ▁wear ▁masks ▁for ▁a ▁longer ▁duration , ▁routine ▁mask ▁break s ▁should ▁be ▁implemented . ▁Is ol ation ▁of ▁persons ▁with ▁COVID -19 ▁can ▁help ▁break ▁the ▁ch ain ▁of ▁transmission ▁of ▁the ▁virus . ▁V ent il ator ▁protoc ols ▁are ▁available . ▁PDMC - SP ▁should ▁not ▁be ▁given ▁to ▁individuals ▁receiving ▁a ▁s ulf a - based ▁medic ation ▁as ▁treatment ▁or ▁pro phylaxis , ▁including ▁co - t rim ox az ole ▁( t rim eth op rim – s ulf am eth ox az ole ) ▁for ▁HIV . ▁A ▁strong ▁recommendation ▁against ▁use ▁of ▁ivermectin ▁in ▁patients ▁with ▁non - severe ▁COVID -19 ▁was ▁published ▁in ▁October ▁202 3, ▁given ▁new ▁trial ▁evidence . ▁There ▁are ▁no ▁studies ▁directly ▁comparing ▁the ▁impact ▁of ▁MDA ▁for ▁burden ▁reduction ▁with ▁the ▁impact ▁of ▁more ▁targeted ▁approaches ▁to ▁chemoprevention ▁. ▁The ▁GDG ▁concluded ▁that ▁nirmatrelvir - ritonavir ▁may ▁represent ▁a ▁super ior ▁choice ▁to ▁remdesivir ▁because ▁of ▁the ▁practical ▁difficulty ▁that ▁ar ises ▁from ▁the ▁intra ven ous ▁administration ▁of ▁remdesivir . ▁Other ▁considerations ▁Information ▁about ▁IPTsc ▁should ▁be ▁fully ▁access ible ▁to ▁school - aged ▁children , ▁their ▁caregivers ▁and ▁key ▁stakeholders , ▁such ▁as ▁teachers . ▁One ▁trial ▁administered ▁SP ▁monthly ▁starting ▁seven ▁days ▁post - dis charge ▁until ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁transmission ▁season ▁ ; ▁another ▁trial ▁administered ▁A L ▁at ▁dis charge ▁then ▁twice ▁at ▁four ▁and ▁eight ▁weeks ▁post - dis charge ▁ ; ▁and ▁the ▁third ▁trial ▁administered ▁A L ▁at ▁dis charge ▁and ▁then ▁DHAP ▁three ▁times ▁starting ▁14 ▁days ▁post - dis charge ▁and ▁then ▁monthly ]. ▁Both ▁the ▁historical ▁review ▁and ▁the ▁sim ulation ▁mod ell ing ▁clearly ▁indicated ▁that ▁the ▁risk ▁of ▁res urg ence ▁was ▁significantly ▁greater ▁at ▁higher ▁E I Rs ▁and ▁case ▁import ation ▁rates , ▁and ▁lower ▁coverage ▁of ▁active ▁case ▁det ection ▁and ▁case ▁management . ▁Management ▁of ▁critical ▁COVID -19 : ▁se pt ic ▁sh ock ▁The ▁mortality ▁in ▁hospital ized ▁and ▁crit ically ▁ill ▁patients ▁has ▁var ied ▁substant ially ▁in ▁different ▁case ▁series ▁throughout ▁the ▁pandemic . ▁The ▁duration ▁of ▁protection ▁of ▁SP ▁has ▁been ▁shown ▁to ▁be ▁42 ▁days ▁in ▁settings ▁without ▁parasite ▁resistance ▁mut ations . ▁D os age ▁School - aged ▁children ▁should ▁be ▁given ▁a ▁complete ▁course ▁of ▁antimalarial s ▁at ▁their ▁recommended ▁treatment ▁dose ▁as ▁IPTsc . ▁Con tin ual ▁screening ▁of ▁breastfeeding ▁infants ▁and ▁lactating ▁mothers ▁could ▁help ▁to ▁determine ▁whether ▁the ▁expected ▁benefits ▁are ▁likely ▁to ▁be ▁distributed ▁equ it ably ▁in ▁the ▁community . ▁This ▁evidence ▁summary ▁was ▁informed ▁by ▁the ▁L N MA ▁po ol ing ▁data ▁from ▁1602 ▁patients ▁in ▁4 ▁RCTs ▁for ▁the ▁outcome ▁of ▁mortality ▁and ▁fewer ▁data ▁available ▁for ▁other ▁outcomes , ▁except ▁for ▁all erg ic ▁re act ions ▁(8 ▁RCTs , ▁243 ▁patients ). ▁We ▁recommend ▁that ▁end ot ra c he al ▁int ub ation ▁be ▁performed ▁by ▁a ▁trained ▁and ▁experienced ▁prov ider ▁using ▁air bor ne ▁prec a utions . ▁Moderate ▁concerns ▁about ▁adequacy ▁since ▁there ▁are ▁only ▁four ▁studies . ▁Since ▁data ▁about ▁long - term ▁outcomes ▁associated ▁with ▁Zika ▁virus ▁infection ▁among ▁infants ▁are ▁becoming ▁available , ▁the ▁WHO ▁guideline ▁on ▁infant ▁feeding ▁in ▁areas ▁of ▁Zika ▁virus ▁transmission ▁will ▁be ▁updated ▁into ▁a ▁standard ▁WHO ▁guideline , ▁following ▁the ▁WHO ▁process es ▁for ▁guideline ▁development . ▁Nevertheless , ▁as ▁with ▁any ▁medic ation ▁not ▁form ally ▁tested ▁in ▁pregnancy , ▁in ▁considering ▁nirmatrelvir - ritonavir , ▁concerns ▁regarding ▁undesirable ▁effects ▁in ▁both ▁pregnant ▁individual ▁and ▁f et us ▁immediately ▁arise . ▁Keep ▁at ▁least ▁1 ▁m ▁distance ▁between ▁patients . ▁A ▁study ▁in ▁M ali ▁found ▁that ▁door - to - do or ▁delivery ▁achieved ▁significantly ▁higher ▁coverage ▁than ▁fixed - point ▁delivery ▁( 76 .1% ▁versus ▁62 .2% , ▁p ▁= ▁0 .00 2 8) ▁[14 0 ]. ▁The ▁Exp anded ▁Programme ▁on ▁Im mun ization ▁( EP I ) ▁platform ▁remains ▁important ▁for ▁delivering ▁PMC . ▁More ▁information ▁on ▁the ▁evidence ▁can ▁be ▁found ▁in ▁the ▁summary ▁of ▁contextual ▁factors ▁report ▁( L ange ▁et ▁al ▁unpublished ev idence ). J ust ification ▁This ▁recommendation ▁was ▁developed ▁using ▁the ▁Gr ading ▁of ▁Recommend ations ▁Ass essment , ▁Development ▁and ▁Evaluation ▁( G RADE ) ▁frame work ▁[ 12 6 ]. ▁There ▁were ▁similar ▁considerations ▁in ▁regard s ▁to ▁pregnant ▁individuals , ▁with ▁no ▁data ▁directly ▁exam ining ▁this ▁population , ▁but ▁no ▁rational e ▁to ▁suggest ▁they ▁would ▁respond ▁differently ▁than ▁other ▁adults . ▁However , ▁this ▁did ▁not ▁transl ate ▁into ▁better ▁pregnancy ▁outcomes , ▁primarily ▁because ▁SP ▁was ▁associated ▁with ▁better ▁f etal ▁growth ▁and ▁thus ▁higher ▁mean ▁birth weight s ▁in ▁all ▁gra vid ae . ▁This ▁initi ative ▁will ▁help ▁dissemin ate ▁the ▁recommendations ▁of ▁this ▁guideline . ▁Al tern ative ▁or ▁combination ▁therapy ▁in ▁the ▁high - risk ▁non - severe ▁population ▁the ▁GDG ▁has ▁made ▁a ▁conditional ▁recommendation ▁for ▁molnupiravir ▁and ▁a ▁strong ▁recommendation ▁for ▁nirmatrelvir - ritonavir . ▁Sub group ▁analyses ▁The ▁GDG ▁did ▁not ▁find ▁any ▁evidence ▁bearing ▁on ▁subgroup ▁effects ▁across ▁patients ▁with ▁different ▁levels ▁of ▁COVID -19 ▁disease ▁severity ▁or ▁between ▁children ▁and ▁adults . ▁There ▁are ▁moderate ▁concerns ▁about ▁methodological ▁limitations ▁and ▁coherence ▁and ▁serious ▁concerns ▁about ▁adequacy ▁and ▁relevance ▁Health ▁decision - makers ▁and ▁managers ▁reported ▁a ▁pre val ent ▁view ▁in ▁the ▁community ▁that ▁failure ▁to ▁breastfeed ▁indicated ▁cont ag ion ▁or ▁infection ▁(2 1,2 2) ▁Low ▁Two ▁studies ▁( b oth ▁Brazil ). ▁Pre vious ly , ▁PMC ▁was ▁recommended ▁in ▁infants ▁( < 12 ▁months ▁of ▁age ) ▁as ▁IPT i ▁based ▁on ▁evidence ▁gener ated ▁in ▁this ▁age ▁group ▁and ▁an ▁apprec iation ▁of ▁the ▁disease ▁burden ▁they ▁bear . ▁Because ▁int act ▁skin ▁is ▁the ▁first ▁line ▁of ▁def ence ▁against ▁m icro or gan ism s , ▁it ▁is ▁important ▁to ▁maintain ▁good ▁skin ▁care . ▁In ▁addition ▁to ▁situations ▁where ▁masks ▁are ▁strongly ▁adv ised ▁( w hen ▁in ▁c row ded , ▁enclosed ▁or ▁poor ly ▁vent ilated ▁sp aces ; ▁following ▁recent exp osure ▁to ▁COVID -19 ; ▁when ▁sharing ▁a ▁space ▁with ▁a ▁person ▁who ▁dis pl ays ▁symptoms ▁of ▁COVID -19 ▁or ▁is ▁COVID -19 - p os itive ; ▁and ▁for ▁individuals ▁at ▁high ▁risk ▁of ▁severe ▁complications ▁from ▁COVID -19 ), ▁there ▁are ▁additional ▁times ▁when ▁wearing ▁a ▁mask ▁may ▁be b enef icial . ▁Resources ▁Research ▁evidence ▁Resources ▁needed ▁for ▁the ▁screening ▁of ▁houses ▁may ▁depend ▁on ▁whether ▁the ▁intervention ▁is ▁deployed ▁by ▁the ▁programme ▁or ▁implemented ▁by ▁the ▁community . ▁However , ▁in ▁the ▁setting ▁where ▁the ▁P f d h ps 5 40 ▁mut ation ▁frequ ency ▁was ▁89 % , ▁no ▁overall ▁protect ive ▁effect ▁of ▁PMC ▁was ▁observed ▁. ▁More ▁information ▁on ▁the ▁evidence ▁can ▁be ▁found ▁in ▁the ▁summary ▁of ▁contextual ▁factors ▁report ▁( L ange ▁et ▁al ▁unpublished ev idence ). A c cept ability ▁One ▁study ▁showed ▁that ▁community - based ▁PDMC ▁result ed ▁in ▁higher ▁self - re port ed ▁adherence ▁than ▁facility - based ▁PDMC ▁(7 1 % ▁vs ▁52 % ▁adherence ▁to ▁the ▁full ▁three ▁courses ). ▁Cond itional ▁recommendation ▁against , ▁low ▁certainty ▁evidence ▁insecticide - t reated ▁clothing ▁deployment ▁of ▁insecticide - t reated ▁clothing ▁is ▁not ▁recommended ▁for ▁the ▁prevention ▁and ▁control ▁of ▁malaria ▁at ▁the ▁community ▁level ▁in ▁areas ▁with ▁ongoing ▁malaria ▁transmission ; ▁however , ▁insecticide - t reated ▁clothing ▁may ▁be ▁benef icial ▁as ▁an ▁intervention ▁to ▁provide ▁personal ▁protection ▁against ▁malaria ▁in ▁specific ▁population ▁groups . ▁Due ▁to ▁cost ▁and ▁availability , ▁bar ri ers ▁to ▁access ▁in ▁low - ▁and ▁middle - in come ▁countries ▁( L MI C s ) ▁may ▁prove ▁form id able . ▁Certainty ▁of ▁the ▁evidence ▁the ▁evidence ▁summary ▁was ▁informed ▁by ▁seven ▁trials ▁with ▁51 38 ▁patients ▁with ▁non - severe ▁COVID -19 ▁included ▁in ▁the ▁updated ▁N MA . ▁An op he les ▁mosquit oes ▁are ▁generally ▁considered ▁to ▁be ▁less ▁sus cept ible ▁to ▁space ▁sp ray ing ▁than ▁C ule x ▁or ▁A ed es . ▁Resources ▁important ▁negative ▁issues ▁research ▁evidence ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁glo ves ▁is ▁likely ▁to ▁have ▁a ▁negative ▁impact ▁on ▁resources ▁and ▁an ▁increase ▁in ▁waste . ▁Evaluation ▁The ▁safety ▁and ▁impact ▁of ▁IPTsc ▁programmes ▁should ▁be ▁routine ly ▁monitored . ▁The ▁GDG ▁determined ▁that ▁a ▁conditional ▁recommendation ▁should ▁be ▁given ▁for ▁house ▁screening ▁because ▁of ▁the ▁low - ▁to ▁moderate - certainty ▁evidence ▁of ▁an ▁impact ▁against ▁malaria . ▁B ased ▁on ▁data ▁from ▁200 7, ▁the ▁financial ▁cost ▁of ▁delivering ▁two ▁doses ▁of ▁IPTp - SP ▁through ▁A NC ▁was ▁about ▁US $ ▁4 35 .7 9 ▁per ▁1000 ▁pregnant ▁women . ▁However , ▁IRS ▁may ▁be ▁implemented ▁as ▁part ▁of ▁an ▁I R M ▁strategy ▁in ▁areas ▁where ▁ITNs ▁are ▁in ▁use . ▁The ▁L N MA ▁on ▁ru x ol it inib ▁was ▁informed ▁by ▁two ▁RCTs ▁that ▁enrolled ▁475 ▁patients ▁across ▁non - severe , ▁severe ▁and ▁critical ▁illness ▁subgroup s .
