ḤANOḴ 97

1 Believe, you righteous, that the sinners will become a shame and perish in the day of unrighteousness.

2 Be it known unto you that the Most High is mindful of your destruction, and the messengers of the shamayim rejoice over your destruction.

3 What will you do, you sinners, and where will you flee on that day of judgment, when you hear the voice of the prayer of the righteous?

4 Therefore, you shall be like them against whom this word shall be a witness, “You have been companions of sinners.”

5 And in those days the prayer of the righteous shall reach unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and for you the days of your judgment shall come.

6 And all the words of your unrighteousness shall be read out before the Great Qadosh One, and your faces shall be covered with shame, and He will reject every work which is grounded on unrighteousness.

7 Woe to you, you sinners, who live on the mid ocean and on the dry land, whose remembrance is evil against you.

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 all we have desired.

9 “And now let us do what we schemed: for we have gathered silver, and the farmers are many in our houses, and our granaries are full as with water.”

10 Therefore like water your lies shall flow away; for your riches shall not endure, but speedily depart from you; for you have acquired it all in unrighteousness, and you shall be given over to a great curse.
