WAIT in hope, you righteous; for suddenly shall sinners perish from before you, and you shall exercise dominion over them, according to your will.
In the day of the sufferings of sinners your offspring shall be elevated, and lifted up like eagles. Your nest shall be more exalted than that of the avest; you shall ascend, and enter into the cavities of the earth, and into the clefts of the rocks forever, like conies, from the sight of the wicked;
Who shall groan over you, and weep like sirens.
You shall not fear those who trouble you; for restoration shall be yours; a splendid light shall shine around you, and the voice of tranquility shall be heard from heaven. Woe to you, sinners; for your wealth makes you resemble qodeshiym, but your hearts reproach you, that you are sinners. This word shall testify against you, for the remembrance of crime.
Woe to you who feed upon the glory of the grain, and drink the strength of the deepest spring, and in your power tread down the humble.
Woe to you who drink water at pleasure; for suddenly shall you be recompensed, consumed, and withered, because you have forsaken the foundation of life.
Woe to you who act iniquitously, fraudulently, and blasphemously; there shall be a remembrance against you for evil.
Woe to you, powerful, who with power strike down righteousness; for the day of your destruction shall come; at that very time many and good days shall be the portion of the righteous, at the period of your judgment.
