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

Woe to those who pervert the words of uprightness, and transgress the eternal law, and transform themselves into what they were not [meant to be]—they shall be trodden underfoot on the earth.

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 record.

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

And in those days, the destitute shall go forth, and carry off their children, and they shall abandon them, so that their children perish through them; yes, they shall abandon even their nursing babies, and not return to them, and shall have no compassion on their loved ones.

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

And they who worship stones, and graven 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—shall get no help from them.

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 visions in their dreams.

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

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

Woe to you who spread evil to your neighbors! For you shall be slain in Sheol.

Woe to you who lay foundations of sin and deceit, and who cause bitterness on the earth! For on account of this, a great judgment awaits you.

Woe to those who build unrighteous oppression and deceit, and lay the foundation of fraud! For they shall be suddenly overthrown, and shall have no peace.

Woe to those who build their houses with sin! For from all their foundations shall they be hewn down, and by the sword shall they fall.

Woe to you, rich, for you have trusted in your riches, and from your riches you shall be stripped, because you have not remembered the Most High in the days of your riches.

You have committed blasphemy and unrighteousness, and have become ready for the day of slaughter, and the day of darkness, and the day of the great judgment.

Thus I speak and declare to you: He who has created you shall overthrow you, and for your fall there shall be no compassion, and your Creator will rejoice at your destruction.
