THEY consider how the trees, when they put forth their green leaves, become covered, and produce fruit; understanding everything, and knowing that he who lives forever does all these things for you:
That the works at the beginning of every existing year, that all his works, are subservient to him, and invariable; yet as Elohiym has appointed, so are all things brought to pass.
They see, too, how the seas and the rivers together complete their respective operations:
You endure not patiently, nor fulfill the commandments of Yahuah; but you transgress and calumniate greatness; and malignant are the words in your polluted mouths against his majesty.
You withered in heart, no peace shall be to you!
Therefore your days shall you curse, and the years of your lives shall perish; perpetual execration shall be multiplied, and you shall not obtain mercy.
In those days shall you resign your peace with the eternal maledictions of all the righteous, and sinners shall perpetually execrate you;
you with the wicked.
The elect shall possess light, joy, and peace; and they shall inherit the earth.
But you, you unholy, shall be accursed.
Then shall wisdom be given to the elect, all of whom shall live, and not again transgress by impiety or pride; but shall humble themselves, possessing prudence, and shall not repeat transgression.
They shall not be condemned the whole period of their lives, not die in torment and indignation; but the sum of their days shall be completed, and they shall grow old in peace; while the years of their happiness shall be multiplied with joy, and with peace, forever, the whole duration of their existence.
