But he who is wanting in these things is blind, and closes his eyes, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

and if he spared not the old world, but brought a flood on the world of the ungodly, and saved Noah, the eighth person, who was a preacher of righteousness;

but he was rebuked for his iniquity, the dumb beast, speaking with man's voice, restrained the madness of the prophet.

But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: The dog has turned again to his own vomit; and, The sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.

by which things the world that then was, having been overflowed with water, perished.
