The Tanakh (JPS 1917), the Jewish Publication Society's classic English translation of the Hebrew Bible, presents the foundational scripture of Judaism — the Torah (Five Books of Moses), the Nevi'im (Prophets), and the Ketuvim (Writings) — in dignified, reverent prose. The Tanakh is not only the foundation of Judaism but the root from which Christianity and Islam grew, making it one of the most formative spiritual documents in human history. This translation remains a standard reference valued for its accuracy and majesty.

The Prophet
Deadly sin is a breach of nature, a death of the soul, a disquiet of the heart, a weakening of power, a blindness of the sense, a sorrow of the spirit, a death of grace, a death of virtue, a death of good works, an aberration of the spirit, a fellowship with the devil, an expulsion of Christianity, a dungeon of hell, a banquet of hell, an eternity of hell.
