The Assumption of Moses 7

1And after this the times shall be finished, in a moment shall follow the second course . . . the four hours shall come.
2They shall be forced . . .
3And in their day shall reign pestilent and impious men claiming to be righteous.
4And these shall excite the wrath of their own friends, who will be cunning men, deceitful in all their own affairs, and at every hour of the day bent on feasting,
5Gluttons, gourmands . . .
6Devourers of poor men's goods and saying that they do these things for mercy's sake . . .
7So that they may destroy them, querulous, false, hiding themselves so as not to be known, impious in sin, and full of iniquity from sunrise to sunset, saying:
See also: Jude 1:16
8"Give us banquets and luxury, let us eat and drink: and we will reckon ourselves great men."
See also: 2 Peter 2:13
9And their hands and minds shall traffic with the unclean, and their mouth speak great things, and moreover they shall say:
10"Touch me not, lest thou shouldst pollute me where I stand." . . .
