And I besought the Mighty One, and said: 'You alone, O Lord, know of aforetime the deep things of the world, And the things which befall in their times You bring about by Your word, And against the works of the inhabitants of the earth you do hasten the beginnings of the times, And the end of the seasons you alone know.

And I wondered and was astonished, and pondered in my thoughts regarding the multitude of goodness which sinners who are upon the earth have rejected, and regarding the great torment which they have despised, though they knew that they should be tormented because of the sin they had committed.

For as you did see a great cloud which ascended from the sea, and went and covered the earth, this is the duration of the world (= αιων) which the Mighty One made when he took counsel to make the world.

And as you did previously see on the summit of the cloud black waters which descended previously on the earth, this is the transgression wherewith Adam the first man transgressed.

And those who dwelt on the earth perished together (with them) through the waters of the deluge.

And at that time I burned their bodies within, but their raiment and arms I preserved outwardly, in order that the still more wonderful deeds of the Mighty One might appear, and that thereby His name might be spoken of throughout the whole earth.

Behold! the days come, and it shall be when the time of the age has ripened, And the harvest of its evil and good seeds has come, That the Mighty One will bring upon the earth and its inhabitants and upon its rulers Perturbation of spirit and stupor of heart.

For all the earth shall devour its inhabitants.

And then healing shall descend in dew, And disease shall withdraw, And anxiety and anguish and lamentation pass from amongst men, And gladness proceed through the whole earth.

For you shall surely depart from this earth, nevertheless not unto death, but you shall be preserved unto the consummation of the times.

Remember that formerly Moses assuredly called heaven and earth to witness against you and said: 'If you transgress the law you shall be dispersed, but if you keep it you shall be kept.'

Their wealth spread to the whole earth, And their glory unto the end of the earth.

Their wealth spread to the whole earth, And their glory unto the end of the earth.

And the heavens were angry, And the earth abhorred them;

And the earth recognized all Thy righteous judgments, O God.

Thou hast wiped out their memorial from the earth. God is a righteous judge, And He is no respecter of persons.

And now behold, ye princes of the earth, the judgment of the Lord, For a great king and righteous (is He), judging (all) that is under heaven.

But they have provoked God's anger and vexed Him. May He remove them from off the earth, Because with deceit they beguiled the souls of the flawless.

Upon the whole earth is Thy mercy, O Lord, in goodness.

I said: They establish their ways in righteousness. I thought upon the judgments of God since the creation of heaven and earth; I held God righteous in His judgments which have been from of old.

God laid bare their sins in the full light of day; All the earth came to know the righteous judgments of God.

He brought him that is from the end of the earth, that smiteth mightily;

(But) God hath shown Himself righteous in His judgments upon the nations of the earth;

Worthy to be praised is the Lord that judgeth the whole earth in His righteousness.

For Thou art a just judge over all the peoples of the earth.

When God visiteth the earth with His judgment.

How long are the days of man's life upon the earth As are his days, so is the hope (set) upon him.

They laid waste the throne of David in tumultuous arrogance. But Thou, O God, didst cast them down and remove their seed from the earth,

Faithful is the Lord in all His judgments Which He doeth upon the earth.

Over the whole earth were they scattered by lawless (men).

For the heavens withheld the rain from dropping upon the earth, Springs were stopped (that sprang) perennial(ly) out of the deeps, (that ran down) from lofty mountains. For there was none among them that wrought righteousness and justice; From the chief of them to the least (of them) all were sinful;

And he shall have the heathen nations to serve him under his yoke; And he shall glorify the Lord in a place to be seen of () all the earth;

So that nations shall come from the ends of the earth to see his glory, Bringing as gifts her sons who had fainted,

For he will smite the earth with the word of his mouth for ever.

Thine ears listen to the hopeful prayer of the poor. Thy judgments (are executed) upon the whole earth in mercy;

For he the earth established, placing it

And decked the earth with plants, and mingled sea

And all things which now on the earth appear.

Increase, work constantly upon the earth,

Went first and earth encompassed him around.

And therefore all men born upon the earth

Down under the foundation of the earth.

Earth is a footstool, and the air is poured

When Eve's polluted race, in the great earth

And cities, men and all, shall the Earth-shaker

Earth shall float, hills float, and even sky shall float;

Illimitable earth was covered o'er.

And flew on, and went o'er the earth and, resting

And the three brides, and fill ye all the earth,

And earth shall glory in her many fruits

Of earth-born men, the Titans. All excel

To mortals in the earth; and he doth hear

But when on earth come shocks, fierce thunderbolts,

The tenth race, when the earth-shaking Lightener

Of man on earth, he would be wonderstruck.

And with shrouds bury flesh and limbs in earth,

Instead of prophets speaking on the earth.

His chariot celestial, and on earth

And every place consume, earth, ocean vast,

Shall be bereft, air, earth, sea, light, sky, days,

Shall bodies of those on earth one day be raised.

Who made the heaven and earth. Alas! a race

By billow to the earth, it shall consume

And to the mighty earth and sea shall fall

Turned to all sorts of sounds, straightway all earth

Giving to them names both of earth and heaven,

So there were three divisions of the earth

Them in the earth and guarded them in bonds.

Proclaim through all earth and in royal hearts

Much gold and silver; but in the vast earth

There is a city . . . on the earth,

Nor wondrous things beneath the earth, nor depth

Deceptions, whence to mortals on the earth

Finished the earth a common good for all.

[For the Heavenly finished earth a common good

And he bade me proclaim through all the earth

Through all the earth the rush of sinful men

From heaven to earth, and from the earth again

From heaven to earth, and from the earth again

Even birds and creeping things and beasts of earth.

O happy upon earth shall that man be

When Rhea's blood-stained race, in the great earth

With a city, men and all, of the Earth-shaker

Earth-shaker; dens of earth shall he break up

Earth-shaker; dens of earth shall he break up

Shall burst out with hot water; and the earth

Commanded me to prophesy on earth.

By strokes o'er all the earth, and bitter fate

Which dwell on earth the Highest shall send dire plague.

Like brass and over all the earth a drought,

And earth itself like iron. And thereupon

And lack of cultivation; and on earth

Shall he set, who created heaven and earth,

On the much-nourishing earth; and all the works

And vultures and wild beasts of earth shall spoil

Vast earth shall waste the relics of the dead.

Who shall make all earth cease from evil war,

Shall be weighed down; and the full-bearing earth

Shall fall front heaven on earth; and great bright lights

And in those days shall earth, all-mother, reel
