Ye thought evil of me, and God turned it into good, that he should enhance me, as ye see in this present time, and that he should make safe many peoples;
but he shall deem in rightfulness [or rightwiseness] poor men, and he shall reprove in equity, for the mild men of [the] earth. And he shall smite the land with the rod of his mouth, and with the spirit of his lips he shall slay the wicked man.
And but those days had been abridged, each flesh, [or all flesh, that is, mankind], should not be made safe; but those days shall be made short, for the chosen men.
And folks be wroth, and thy wrath came, and time of dead men to be deemed, and to yield meed to thy servants, and prophets, and hallows, and dreading thy name, to small and to great, and to destroy them that corrupted the earth.
