¹ BUT the souls of the righteous are in the hand of Elohiym, and there shall no torment touch them.

² In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery,

³ And their going from us to be utter destruction: but they are in peace.

⁴ For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their hope full of immortality.

⁵ And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded: for Elohiym proved them, and found them worthy for himself.

⁶ As gold in the furnace has he tried them, and received them as an ascending smoke offering.

⁷ And in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks among the stubble.

⁸ They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Yahuah shall reign forever.

⁹ They that put their trust in him shall understand the Truth: and such as be faithful in love shall abide with him: for grace and mercy is to his qodeshiym, and he has care for his elect.

¹⁰ But the wicked shall be punished according to their own imaginations, which have neglected the righteous, and forsaken Yahuah.

¹¹ For whoso despises wisdom and nurture, he is miserable, and their hope is vain, their labors unfruitful, and their works unprofitable:

¹² Their women are foolish, and their children wicked:

¹³ Their offspring is cursed. Wherefore blessed is the barren that is undefiled, which has not known the sinful bed: she shall have fruit in the visitation of souls.

¹⁴ And blessed is the eunuch, which with his hands has wrought no iniquity, nor imagined wicked things against Elohiym: for unto him shall be given the special gift of faith, and an inheritance in the Temple of Yahuah more acceptable to his mind.

¹⁵ For glorious is the fruit of good labors: and the root of wisdom shall never fall away.

¹⁶ As for the children of those who break wedlock, they shall not come to their perfection, and the seed of an unrighteous bed shall be rooted out.

¹⁷ For though they live long, yet shall they be nothing regarded: and their last age shall be without honor.

¹⁸ Or, if they die quickly, they have no hope, neither comfort in the day of trial.

¹⁹ For horrible is the end of the unrighteous generation.
