1 And in those days, in one place, the fathers together with their sons shall be smitten, and brothers one with another shall fall in death till the streams flow with their blood.
2 For a man shall not withhold his hand from slaying his sons and his son’s sons, and the sinner shall not withhold his hand from his honoured brother. From dawn till sundown they shall slay one another.
3 And the horse shall walk up to the breast in the blood of sinners, and the chariot shall be submerged to its height.
4 In those days the messengers shall descend into the secret places and gather together into one place all those who brought down sin and the Most High will arise on that Day of judgment to execute great judgment amongst sinners.
5 And over all the righteous and qodesh He will appoint guardians from amongst the qodesh messengers to guard them as the apple of an eye, until He makes an end of all wickedness and all sin, and though the righteous sleep a long sleep, they have naught to fear.
6 And the children of the earth shall see the wise in security, and shall understand all the words of this book, and recognise that their riches shall not be able to save them in the overthrow of their sins.
7 Woe to you, sinners, on the day of strong anguish, you who afflict the righteous and burn them with fire! You shall be rewarded according to your works.
8 Woe to you, you obstinate of heart, who watch in order to devise wickedness! Therefore fear shall come upon you and there shall be none to help you.
9 Woe to you, you sinners, on account of the words of your mouth, and on account of the deeds of your hands which your wickedness has wrought! In blazing flames burning worse than fire you shall burn.
10 And now, know that from the messengers He will inquire as to your deeds in the shamayim, from the sun and from the moon and from the stars in reference to your sins because upon the earth you execute judgment on the righteous.
11 And He will summon to witness against you every cloud and mist and dew and rain; for they shall all be withheld because of you from descending upon you, and they shall be mindful of your sins.
12 And now give presents to the rain that it be not withheld from descending upon you, nor even the dew, when it has received gold and silver from you that it may descend.
13 When the frost and snow with their chilliness, and all the snow-storms with all their plagues fall upon you, in those days you shall not be able to stand before them.
