Chapter 63

1

IN those days the kings who possess the earth shall be punished by the angels of his wrath, wheresoever they shall be delivered up, that he may give rest for a short period; and that they may fall down and worship before Yahuah Tseva'oth, confessing their sins before him.

2

They shall bless and glorify Yahuah Tseva'oth, saying, Blessed is Yahuah Tseva'oth, Yahuah of kings, Yahuah of princes, Yahuah of the rich, Yahuah of glory, and Yahuah of wisdom.

3

He shall enlighten every secret thing.

4

Your power is from generation to generation; and your glory forever and ever.

5

Deep are all your secrets, and numberless; and your righteousness cannot be calculated.

6

Now we know, that we should glorify and bless Yahuah of kings, him who is King over all things.

7

They shall also say, Who has granted us rest to glorify, laud, bless, and confess in the presence of his glory?

8

And now small is the rest we desire; but we do not find; we reject, and do not possess. Light has passed away from before us; and darkness our thrones forever.

9

For we have not confessed before him; we have not glorified the name of Yahuah of kings; we have not glorified Yahuah in all his works; but we have trusted in the sceptre of our dominion and of our glory.

10

In the day of our suffering and of our trouble he will not save us, neither shall we find rest. We confess that our Adonai is faithful in all his works, in all his judgments, and in his righteousness.

11

In his judgments he pays no respect to persons; and we must depart from his presence, on account of our deeds.

12

All our sins are truly without number.

13

Then shall they say to themselves, Our souls are satiated with the instruments of crime;

14

But that prevents us not from descending to the flaming womb of She'ol.

15

Afterwards, their countenances shall be filled with darkness and confusion before the Son of A'dam; from whose presence they shall be expelled, and before whom the sword shall remain to expel them.

16

Thus says Yahuah Tseva'oth, This is the decree and the judgment against the princes, the kings, the exalted, and those who possess the earth, in the presence of Yahuah Tseva'oth.
