8. He spared not those with whom Lot sojourned, Whom he abhorred for their pride.
9. He pitied not the people of perdition, Who were taken away in their sins.
10. And in like manner the six hundred thousand footmen, Who were gathered together in the hardness of their hearts.
11. Even if there be one stiff-necked person, It is marvel if he shall be unpunished: For mercy and wrath are with him; He is mighty to forgive, and he pours out wrath.
12. As his mercy is great, so is his correction also: He judges a man according to his works.
13. The sinner shall not escape with his plunder; And the perseverance of the godly shall not be frustrated.
14. He will make room for every work of mercy; Each man shall find according to his works.
17. Don’t say, I shall be hidden from the Lord; And who shall remember me from on high? I shall not be known among so many people; For what is my soul in a boundless creation?
18. Behold, the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, The deep, and the earth, shall be moved when he shall visit.
19. The mountains and the foundations of the earth together Are shaken with trembling, when he looks upon them.
20. And no heart shall think upon these things: And who shall conceive his ways?
21. And there is a tempest which no man shall see; Yes, the more part of his works are hid.
22. Who shall declare the works of his righteousness? Or who shall endure them? For his covenant is afar off.
23. He that is lacking in understanding thinks upon these things; And an unwise and erring man thinks follies.
24. My son, hearken to me, and learn knowledge, And give heed to my words with your heart.
25. I will show forth instruction by weight, And declare knowledge exactly.
26. In the judgement of the Lord are his works from the beginning; And from the making of them he disposed the parts thereof.
27. He garnished his works for ever, And the beginnings of them to their generations: They neither hunger, nor are weary, And they cease not from their works.
