But call, if indeed anyone will answer you, or if you will see any of the holy angels.

For wrath kills the foolish man, and jealousy puts the one gone astray to death.
I have seen fools casting root, but immediately their dwelling was eaten up.
γένοιντο οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ σωτηρίας κολαβρισθείησαν δὲ ἐπὶ θύραις ἡσσόνων καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἐξαιρούμενος
Far from salvation would their sons be, and let them be crushed at the gates of the inferior, and there will be no one delivering them.
γὰρ ἐκεῖνοι συνήγαγον δίκαιοι ἔδονται αὐτοὶ δὲ ἐκ κακῶν οὐκ ἐξαίρετοι ἔσονται ἐκσιφωνισθείη αὐτῶν ἡ ἰσχύς
For what those gathered, the righteous will eat; but they will not be delivered from evils; let their strength be siphoned out.
For toil does not come forth from the earth, nor does trouble sprout from the mountains
But man is born for labor, and vultures’ young fly high in the air.
But I, however, will pray to the Lord, and I will call upon the Lord, the Master of all.
the One doing great and unsearchable things, glorious and extraordinary things, of which there is no number
the one who gives rain upon the earth, sending water upon the one under heaven
the one who makes the lowly to be in height, and the ones who have perished he raises up
frustrating the plans of the crafty, and their hands will by no means accomplish the truth
He catches the wise in their prudence, but he has confounded the counsel of the crafty.
They shall meet with darkness in the daytime, and at noonday they shall grope as in the night.
But let them perish in war, and let the weak man come out from the hand of the powerful.
But let there be hope for the helpless, and may the mouth of the unjust be stopped up.
Blessed is the man whom the Lord has reproved; and do not refuse the admonition of the Almighty.
For he makes pain and again restores; he strikes, and his hands have healed.
Six times he will deliver you from troubles, but in the seventh no evil will touch you.
In famine he will rescue you from death, and in war from the hand of iron he will deliver you
From the scourge of the tongue he will hide you, and you shall not fear from evils coming.
At injustice and lawless ones you will laugh, and from wild beasts you will not at all fear.
For wild beasts will be at peace with you
Then you shall know that your house will be at peace, and the way of your tent shall by no means miss the mark.
And you shall know that your seed will be many, and your children will be as the grass of the field.
δὲ ἐν τάφῳ ὥσπερ σῖτος ὥριμος κατὰ καιρὸν θεριζόμενος ἢ ὥσπερ θιμωνιὰ ἅλωνος καθ᾿ ὥραν συγκομισθεῖσα
And you shall come into the grave like ripe grain cut down in season, or like a stack on the threshing floor gathered in at the proper time
Behold, these things—thus have we searched out; these are the things that we have heard. But you, know for yourself whether you have done anything.
