And many shall say to many at that time: Where hath the multitude of intelligence hidden itself, And whither hath the multitude of wisdom removed itself?"

And whilst they are meditating these things, Then envy shall arise in those who had not thought aught of themselves (?) And passion shall seize him that is peaceful, And many shall be stirred up in anger to injure many, And they shall rouse up armies in order to shed blood, And in the end they shall perish together with them.

And it shall come to pass at the self-same time, That a change of times shall manifestly appeal to every man, Because in all those times they polluted themselves And they practiced oppression, And walked every man in his own works, And remembered not the law of the Mighty One.

For he had not lived perfectly, for he was not worthy-but that thenceforward he might know by whom finally he should be tormented.
