  1. Woe to you who act godlessly, and praise and honor lies! You shall perish, and no happy life shall be yours.

  2. Woe to those who pervert the words of truth, and twist the eternal law! They become what they were not meant to be, and shall be trampled underfoot on the earth.

  3. In those days, make ready, you righteous, to raise your prayers as a memorial, and to place them as a testimony before the angels, that they may bring the sin of the sinners before the Most High as a memorial.

  4. In those days the nations shall be stirred up, and the families of the peoples shall arise in the day of destruction.

  5. And in those days, the destitute shall go forth and carry off their children, and they shall abandon them, so that their children shall perish through them. Yes, they shall abandon even their suckling infants and not return to them, and shall have no compassion on their beloved ones.

  6. And again I swear to you, sinners, that sin is prepared for a day of unceasing bloodshed.

  7. And they who worship stones, and grave images of gold and silver and wood and clay, and those who worship impure spirits and demons, and all kinds of idols not according to knowledge — they shall get no help from them.

  8. And they shall become godless by reason of the folly of their hearts, and their eyes shall be blinded through the fear of their hearts and through the vision of their dreams.

  9. Through these they shall become godless and fearful, for they have wrought all their works in lies, and have worshiped a stone — therefore they shall perish in an instant.

  10. But in those days, blessed are all they who accept the words of wisdom and understand them, and walk in the paths of the Most High, and become righteous in His conduct and do not act godlessly with the godless, for they shall be saved.
