Because by mere chance were we born, And hereafter we will be as though we had never been: Because the breath in our nostrils is smoke, And while our heart beats reason is a spark,

And our name will be forgotten in time, And no man will remember our works; And our life will pass away as the traces of a cloud, And will be scattered as is a mist, When it is chased by the beams of the sun, And overcome by the heat thereof.

For our alloted time is the passing of a shadow, And our end retreats not; Because it is fast sealed, and none turns it back.

They will see, and they will despise; But them the Lord will laugh to scorn. And after this they will become a dishonored carcase, And a reproach among the dead forever:

They will say within themselves repenting, And for distress of spirit will they groan, This was he whom aforetime we had in derision, And made a parable of reproach:

Verily we went astray from the way of truth, And the light of righteousness shined not for us, And the sun rose not for us.

We took our fill of the paths of lawlessness and destruction, And we journeyed through trackless deserts, But the way of the Lord we knew not.

What did our arrogancy profit us? And what good have riches and vaunting brought us?

So we also, as soon as we were born, ceased to be; And of virtue we had no sign to show, But in our wickedness we were utterly consumed.

Or new-created wild beasts, full of rage, of unknown kind, Either breathing out a blast of fiery breath, Or blowing forth from their nostrils noisome smoke, Or flashing dreadful sparkles from their eyes;

For when lawless men had supposed that they held a holy nation in their power, They, themselves, prisoners of darkness, and bound in the fetters of a long night, Close kept beneath their roofs, Lay exiled from the eternal providence.

For while they thought that they were unseen in their secret sins, They were sundered one from another by a dark curtain of forgetfulness, Stricken with terrible awe, and sore troubled by spectral forms.

For neither did the dark recesses that held them guard them from fears, But sounds rushing down rang around them, And phantoms appeared, cheerless with unsmiling faces.

And no force of fire prevailed to give them light, Neither were the brightest flames of the stars strong enough to illumine that gloomy night:

For even if no troublous thing affrighted them, Yet, scared with the creepings of vermin and hissings of serpents,

they perished for very trembling, Refusing even to look on the air, which could on no side be escaped.

And from within the heart the expectation of them being less Maketh of greater account the ignorance of the cause that brings the torment.

But they, all through the night which was powerless indeed, And which came upon them out of the recesses of powerless Hades, All sleeping the same sleep,

Now were haunted by monstrous apparitions, And now were paralysed by their soul’s surrendering; For fear sudden and unlooked for came upon them.

So then every man, whoever it might be, sinking down in his place, Was kept in ward shut up in that prison which was barred not with iron:

While over them alone was spread a heavy night, An image of the darkness that should afterward receive them; But yet heavier than darkness were they to themselves.

Then forthwith apparitions in dreams terribly troubled them, And fears came upon them unlooked for.

But upon the ungodly there came to the end indignation without mercy; For their future also God foreknew,

For the doom which they deserved was drawing them to this end, And it made them forget the things that had befallen them, That they might fill up the punishment which was yet lacking to their torments,

And not only so, but God will visit the men of Sodom after another sort, Since they received as enemies those who were aliens;

Number not yourself among the multitude of sinners: Remember that wrath will not wait.

Humble your soul greatly; For the punishment of the ungodly man is fire and the worm.

In all your matters remember your last end, And you will never do amiss.

Kindle not the coals of a sinner, Lest you be burned with the flame of his fire.
