CD-B Col. xix:33-35:
. . .
Thus all the men who entered he
new covenant in the land of Damascus and turned and betrayed and departed from
the well of living waters, shall not be counted (חשב) in the assembly of the
people, they shall not be inscribed in their lists, from the day of the
gathering {of the teacher}
1QS Col. iii:1-6
his soul loathes the disciplines
of knowledge of just judgments. He has not the strength to convert his life and
shall not be counted (חשב) with the upright. His knowledge, his energy and his
wealth shall not enter the council of the Community because he ploughs in the
mud of wickedness and there are stains on his conversion. HE shall not be
justified while he maintains his stubbornness of his heart, since he regards
darkness as paths of light. In the sources of the perfect he shall not be
countered (חשב). He will not become clean by the acts of atonement, nor shall
he be purified by the cleansing waters, nor shall he be made holy be seas or
rivers, nor shall he be purified by all the water of ablution. Defiled, defiled
shall he be all the days he spurns the decrees of God . . .
1QS Col. v:8-11, 17-19
. . . He shall swear with a
binding oath to revert to the Law of Moses, according to all that he commanded,
with whole heart and whole soul, in compliance with all that has been revealed
of it to the sons of Zadok, the priests who keep the covenant and interpret his
will and to the multitude of the men of their covenant who freely volunteer
together for this truth and to walk according to his will. He should swear by
the covenant to be segregated from all the men of injustice who walk along the
path of wickedness. For they are not included (חשב) in his covenant since they
have neither sought nor examined his decrees in order to know the hidden
matters in which they err . . . unless at its price, for it is written (Isa
2:22): <<Shun the man whose breath is in his nostrils, for how much
is he worth? [HEB]?>> For all those not numbered (חשב) in his covenant
will be segregated, they and all that belongs to them. No holy man should
support himself on any deed of futility, for futile are all those who do not
know the covenant. . . .

Like a perfect dawn you have revealed yourself to me with per[fect] light. But
they, your people [. . . ] [. . . ] . . . they lure them, and mediators of
deceit [mis]direct them, so that they come to ruin without perceiving it. For
[they carry out] their deeds in folly. For I have been rejected by them, and
they do not esteem (חשב) me when you made yourself great through me; for they
drive me from my land like a bird form its nest; all my friends and my
acquaintances have been driven away from me, and rank me (חשב) like a broken jug.
. . .
1QHa Col. xii:22-23
. . . [And I,] when I lean on
you, I remain resolute and rise above those who scorn me, and my hands succeed
against all those who mock me; for the do not esteem (חשב) me, even though you
exhibit your power in me and reveal yourself in me with your strength as perfect
light. . . .

things? For [. . . ] you have [gi]ven to the ear of dust, and you have
inscribed for ever what is to happen in the heart of [stone . . . ]
