### The Evils in Store for Sinners and the Possessors of unrighteous Wealth

[¶1] 1 Believe, ye righteous, that the sinners will become a shame, And perish in the day of unrighteousness. 2 Be it known unto you (ye sinners) that the Most High is mindful of your destruction, And the angels of heaven rejoice over your destruction.

[¶2] 3 What will ye do, ye sinners, And whither will ye flee on that day of judgement, When ye hear the voice of the prayer of the righteous?

[¶3] 4 Yea, ye shall fare like unto them, Against whom this word shall be a testimony: “Ye have been companions of sinners.”

[¶4] 5 And in those days the prayer of the righteous shall reach unto the Lord. And for you the days of your judgement shall come, 6 And all the words of your unrighteousness shall be read out before the Great Holy One; And your faces shall be covered with shame, And He will reject every work which is grounded on unrighteousness.

[¶5] 7 Woe to you, ye sinners, who live on the mid-ocean and on the dry land, Whose remembrance is evil against you.

[¶6] 8 Woe to you who acquire silver and gold in unrighteousness, and say: “We have become rich with riches and have possessions, And have acquired everything we have desired.

[¶7] 9 And now let us do what we purposed: For we have gathered silver, 9^d And many are the husbandmen in our houses, 9^c And our granaries are (brim)full as with water.”

[¶8] 10 Yea, and like water your lies shall flow away; For your riches shall not abide, But speedily ascend from you;

[¶9] For ye have acquired it all in unrighteousness, And ye shall be given over to a great curse.
