Chapter 80

1

IN those days Uriy'el answered and said to me, Behold, I have showed you all things, O Chanok;

2

And all things have I revealed to you. You see the sun, the moon, and those which conduct the stars of heaven, which cause all their operations, seasons, and arrivals to return.

3

In the days of sinners the years shall be shortened.

4

Their seed shall be backward in their prolific soil; and everything done on earth shall be subverted, and disappear in its season. The rain shall be restrained, and heaven shall stand still.

5

In those days the fruits of the earth shall be late, and not flourish in their season; and in their season the fruits of the trees shall be withheld.

6

The moon shall change its laws, and not be seen at its proper period. But in those days shall heaven be seen; and barrenness shall take place in the borders of the great chariots in the west. It shall shine more than the orders of light; while many chiefs among the stars of authority shall err, perverting their ways and works.

7

Those shall not appear in their season, who commanded them, and all the classes of the stars shall be shut up against sinners.

8

The thoughts of those who dwell on the earth shall transgress within them; and they shall be perverted in all their ways.

9

They shall transgress, and think themselves elohiym; while evil shall be multiplied among them.

10

And punishment shall come upon them, so that all of them shall be destroyed.
