### The Fount of Righteousness: the Son of Man—the Stay of the Righteous: Judgement of the Kings and the Mighty

[¶1] 1 And in that place I saw the fountain of righteousness, Which was inexhaustible: And around it were many fountains of wisdom;

[¶2] And all the thirsty drank of them, And were filled with wisdom, And their dwellings were with the righteous and holy and elect. 2 And at that hour that Son of Man was named In the presence of the Lord of Spirits, And his name before the Head of Days.

[¶3] 3 Yea, before the sun and the signs were created, Before the stars of the heaven were made, His name was named before the Lord of Spirits.

[¶4] 4 He shall be a staff to the righteous whereon to stay themselves and not fall, And he shall be the light of the Gentiles, And the hope of those who are troubled of heart.

[¶5] 5 All who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship before him, And will praise and bless and celebrate with song the Lord of Spirits.

[¶6] 6 And for this reason hath he been chosen and hidden before Him, Before the creation of the world and for evermore.

[¶7] 7 And the wisdom of the Lord of Spirits hath revealed him to the holy and righteous; For he hath preserved the lot of the righteous;

[¶8] Because they have hated and despised this world of unrighteousness, And have hated all its works and ways in the name of the Lord of Spirits:

[¶9] For in his name they are saved, And according to his good pleasure hath it been in regard to their life.

[¶10] 8 In those days downcast in countenance shall the kings of the earth have become, And the strong who possess the land because of the works of their hands;

[¶11] For on the day of their anguish and affliction they shall not (be able to) save themselves, 9 And I will give them over into the hands of Mine elect:

[¶12] As straw in the fire so shall they burn before the face of the holy: As lead in the water shall they sink before the face of the righteous, And no trace of them shall any more be found.

[¶13] 10 And on the day of their affliction there shall be rest on the earth, And before them they shall fall and not rise again:

[¶14] And there shall be no one to take them with his hands and raise them: For they have denied the Lord of Spirits and His Anointed. The name of the Lord of Spirits be blessed.
