²⁵ `And Abraham said, Child, remember that thou did receive -- thou -- thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and thou art distressed;

²⁴ `But wo to you -- the rich, because ye have got your comfort.

¹⁵ Love not ye the world, nor the things in the world; if any one doth love the world, the love of the Father is not in him,

¹⁴ From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion `is' in life, And `with' Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied `with' sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings.

⁴⁵ `And if thy foot may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into the life lame, than having the two feet to be cast to the gehenna, to the fire -- the unquenchable --

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to remain in the faith, and that through many tribulations it behoveth us to enter into the reign of God,

⁷ because the mind of the flesh `is' enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself,

¹⁹ whose end `is' destruction, whose god `is' the belly, and whose glory `is' in their shame, who the things on earth are minding.

³ that no one be moved in these tribulations, for yourselves have known that for this we are set,

²⁵ having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have sin's pleasure for a season,

¹⁴ and I have said to him, `Sir, thou hast known;' and he said to me, `These are those who are coming out of the great tribulation, and they did wash their robes, and they made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb;

³³ these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage -- I have overcome the world.'

²³ and in the hades having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he doth see Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom,

¹⁸ And he hath filled their houses `with' good: (And the counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.)

³⁵ I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,

³⁶ And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!

¹¹ Their heart `is': Their houses `are' to the age, Their tabernacles to all generations. They proclaimed their names over the lands.

⁷ Their eye hath come out from fat. The imaginations of the heart transgressed;

¹² Lo, these `are' the wicked and easy ones of the age, They have increased strength.

¹³ Only -- a vain thing! I have purified my heart, And I wash in innocency my hands,

¹⁴ And I am plagued all the day, And my reproof `is' every morning.

¹⁵ If I have said, `I recount thus,' Lo, a generation of Thy sons I have deceived.

¹⁶ And I think to know this, Perverseness it `is' in mine eyes,

¹⁷ Till I come in to the sanctuaries of God, I attend to their latter end.

¹⁸ Only, in slippery places Thou dost set them, Thou hast caused them to fall to desolations.

¹⁹ How have they become a desolation as in a moment, They have been ended -- consumed from terrors.

⁷ Remembered hath Jerusalem `In' the days of her affliction and her mournings, all her desirable things that were from the days of old, In the falling of her people into the hand of an adversary, And she hath no helper; Seen her have adversaries, They have laughed at her cessation.

²² `And thou, his son, Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though all this thou hast known;

²³ and against the Lord of the heavens thou hast lifted up thyself; and the vessels of His house they have brought in before thee, and thou, and thy great men, thy wives, and thy concubines, are drinking wine with them, and gods of silver, and of gold, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone, that are not seeing, nor hearing, nor knowing, thou hast praised: and the God in whose hand `is' thy breath, and all thy ways, Him thou hast not honoured.

³⁰ In that night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans is slain,

²⁰ and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,

¹³ They wear out in good their days, And in a moment `to' Sheol go down.

¹⁴ And they say to God, `Turn aside from us, And the knowledge of Thy ways We have not desired.
