Hear ye me, that follow that that is just, and seek the Lord. Take ye heed to the stone, from whence ye be hewn down, and to the cave of the pit, from which ye be cut down.
Ye people, that know the just [or rightwise] man, hear me, my law is in the heart of them; do not ye dread the shame of men, and dread ye not the blasphemies of them.
We shall know, and follow, that we know the Lord. His going out is made ready at the morrowtide, and he shall come as a rain to us, which is timeful and lateful to the earth.
Thine eyes be clean, see thou not evil, and thou shalt not be able to behold to wickedness. Why beholdest thou not on men doing wickedly, and thou art still, while the unpious man devoureth a more just man than himself?
Enter ye by the strait gate; for the gate that leadeth to perdition, [or to damnation], is large, and the way is broad, and there be many that enter by it.
And he shall love thee, and multiply thee, and he shall bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy wheat, and thy vintage, thine oil, and thy droves of beasts, and the flocks of thy sheep, on the land for which he swore to thy fathers, that he should give it to thee.
And flee thou [the] desires of youth, but follow thou rightwiseness, faith, charity, peace, with them that inwardly call [or that in-call] the Lord of a clean heart.
