1
Believe, you righteous, that the sinners will become a shame, And perish in the day of unrighteousness.
2
Be it known to you (you sinners) that the El Elyon is mindful of your destruction, And the mal’akhiym of heaven rejoice over your destruction.
3
What will you do, you sinners, And whither will you flee on that day of judgement, When you hear the voice of the prayer of the righteous?
4
Yea, you shall fare like to them, Against whom this word shall be a testimony: “You have been companions of sinners.”
5
And in those days the prayer of the righteous shall reach to the Sovereign. And for you the days of your judgement shall come, 6. And all the words of your unrighteousness shall be read out before the Great Set-Apart One; And your faces shall be covered with shame, And He will reject every work which is grounded on unrighteousness.
7
Woe to you, you sinners, who live on the mid-ocean and on the dry land, Whose remembrance is evil against you.
8
Woe to you who acquire silver and gold in unrighteousness, and say: “We have become rich with riches and have possessions, And have acquired everything we have desired.
9
And now let us do what we purposed: For we have gathered silver, 9d And many are the husbandmen in our houses, 9c And our granaries are (brim)full as with water.”
10
Yea, and like water your lies shall flow away; For your riches shall not abide, But speedily ascend from you; For you have acquired it all in unrighteousness, And you shall be given over to a great curse.
