1Therefore, my brethren, I have written to you, that ye may comfort yourselves regarding the multitude of your tribulations.
2For know ye that our Maker will assuredly avenge us on all our enemies, according to all that they have done to us, also that the consummation which the El Elyon (Most High) will make is very nigh, and His mercy that is coming, and the consummation of His judgement, is by no means far off.
3For lo! we see now the multitude of the prosperity of the Gentiles, Though they act impiously, But they shall be like a vapour:
4And we behold the multitude of their power, Though they do wickedly, But they shall be made like unto a drop:
5And we see the firmness of their might, Though they resist the Mighty One every hour, But they shall be accounted as spittle.
6And we consider the glory of their greatness, Though they do not keep the statutes of the El Elyon (Most High), But as smoke shall they pass away.
