Simeon 6

If envy and stiffneckedness are removed, bones shall flourish as a rose in Israel and flesh as a lily in Jacob.

B1🔗ehold, I have foretold you all things, that I may be clear from the sin of your souls.

2🔗 Now, if ye remove from you your envy, and all your stiffneckedness, as a rose shall my bones flourish in Israel, and as a lily my flesh in Jacob, and my odour shall be as the odour of Libanus; and as cedars shall holy ones be multiplied from me for ever, and their branches shall stretch afar off.

3🔗 Then shall perish the seed of Canaan, and a remnant shall not be to Amalek, and all the Cappadocians shall perish, and all the Hittites shall be utterly destroyed.

4🔗 Then shall fail the land of Ham, and every people shall perish.

5🔗 Then shall all the earth rest from trouble, and all the world under heaven from war.

6🔗 Then shall Shem be glorified, because the Lord God, the Mighty One of Israel, shall appear upon earth as man, and saved by Him Adam.

7🔗 Then shall all the spirits of deceit be given to be trampled under foot, and men shall rule over the wicked spirits.

8🔗 Then will I arise in joy, and will bless the Most High because of His marvellous works, because God hath taken a body and eaten with men and saved men.
