¹⁷ The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God.

²² Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.

¹³ So `are' the paths of all forgetting God, And the hope of the profane doth perish,

¹⁵ and if any one was not found written in the scroll of the life, he was cast to the lake of the fire.

⁷ and to you who are troubled -- rest with us in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with messengers of his power,

⁸ in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁹ who shall suffer justice -- destruction age-during -- from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his strength,

⁸ and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness -- indignation and wrath,

⁹ tribulation and distress, upon every soul of man that is working the evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;

¹⁴ Therefore hath Sheol enlarged herself, And hath opened her mouth without limit. And gone down hath its honour, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one -- into her.

⁸ and to fearful, and unstedfast, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, their part `is' in the lake that is burning with fire and brimstone, which is a second death.'

⁴¹ Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath been prepared for the Devil and his messengers;

⁴² for I did hunger, and ye gave me not to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me not to drink;

⁴³ a stranger I was, and ye did not receive me; naked, and ye put not around me; infirm, and in prison, and ye did not look after me.

⁴⁴ `Then shall they answer, they also, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or infirm, or in prison, and we did not minister to thee?

⁴⁵ `Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did `it' not to one of these, the least, ye did `it' not to me.

⁴⁶ And these shall go away to punishment age-during, but the righteous to life age-during.'

¹³ And I have charged on her the days of the Baalim, To whom she maketh perfume, And putteth on her ring and her ornament, And goeth after her lovers, And Me forgat -- an affirmation of Jehovah.

¹⁵ But My people have forgotten Me, to a vain thing they make perfume, And they cause them to stumble in their ways -- paths of old, To walk in paths -- a way not raised up,

²⁵ This `is' thy lot, the portion of thy measures from Me -- an affirmation of Jehovah, Because thou hast forgotten me, And dost trust in falsehood.

²¹ A voice on high places is heard -- weeping, Supplications of the sons of Israel, For they have made perverse their way, They have forgotten Jehovah their God.

³² Doth a virgin forget her ornaments? A bride her bands? And My people have forgotten Me days without number.

¹¹ Wo to the wicked -- evil, Because the deed of his hand is done to him.

³² In his wickedness is the wicked driven away, And trustful in his death `is' the righteous.

¹³ They have hasted -- forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.

¹⁴ As sheep for Sheol they have set themselves, Death doth afflict them, And the upright rule over them in the morning, And their form `is' for consumption. Sheol `is' a dwelling for him.

²⁰ If we have forgotten the name of our God, And spread our hands to a strange God,

¹⁷ All this met us, and we did not forget Thee, Nor have we dealt falsely in Thy covenant.
