But call, if any one will hearken to you; or if any angels holy you shall see.
For even a fool does away with anger, one having wandered and puts to death zeal.
And I have seen fools root laying; and I cursed their attractiveness immediately.
At a distance may be their sons from safety, and they shall be crushed at the doors of lesser men, and there shall not be one rescuing.
which for those things they harvested, one hungering shall eat; but they to ones armed shall be carried; may be siphoned off their strength.
not for can come forth out of the earth toil, nor from the mountains shall misery sprout up.
But a man is born to toil, and the young eagles the high places to fly.
Nevertheless but I shall beseech the lord, the lord and the master of all I shall call upon,
the one doing great things, and untraceable, honorable things also, and extraordinary, which there is no number;
the one giving rain upon the earth, sending water upon the under heaven;
the one appointing the humble unto the height, and the ones perishing raising up,
effacing counsels of clever ones, that in no way should perform their hands true;
the one overtaking the wise with the intellect; and the counsel of the crafty ones he amazes.
By day shall meet them darkness, and at midday may they grope equally as at night.
And may they perish in war; and may the powerless come forth from out of the hand of the mighty one.
And may there be to the poor hope; of the unjust but the mouth may be obstructed.
And blessed is the man whom the lord reproved, the admonition and of the almighty does not refuse.
For he causes one to ache, causes, and again he restores; he smites, and his hands heal.
Six times from out of your distresses he rescues you, and in the seventh time in no way will he touch you for bad.
In famine, he will rescue you from death, in war and from out of the hand of iron he will untie you.
From the whip of the tongue he shall hide you, and in no way shall you be fearful from evils the coming.
The unjust and lawless you shall ridicule, and from beasts wild in no way shall you be fearful;
for the beasts of the wild shall make peace with you.
Then you shall know that shall be at peace your house; and he shall visit your beauty, and in no way should it have sinned.
And you shall know that shall be many your seed, and your progeny will be as the abundant herbage of the field.
And you shall come unto the grave as grain in season, according to the time of harvesting; or as a heap of the threshing-floor according to the hour of its being collected.
Behold, these things thus we tracked out, these things are what we have heard; but you, know in yourself if any you acted!
