The path of life is above for the wise, that he may decline from the lowest hell.
They have cast me forth and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.
But our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ,
Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.
How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!
And to this people thou shalt say: Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and deliver his soul from hell.
Her house is the way to hell, reaching even to the inner chambers of death.
Because the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
Her feet go down into death, and her steps go in as far as hell.
And hath forgotten the covenant of her God: for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths to hell.
Rebuke not a scorner lest he hate thee. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
A fire is kindled in my wrath, and shall burn even to the lowest hell: and shall devour the earth with her increase, and shall burn the foundations of the mountains.
But the path of the just, as a shining light, goeth forwards and increaseth even to perfect day.
