Leading away priests stripped off, and he will overthrow the mighty. Removing the lip to the faithful, and he will take discernment of old men. Proving contempt upon nobles, and he slackened the girdle of the strong. Revealing deep things from darkness, and he will bring to light the shadow of death. Making great to the nations, and he will destroy them: he spread out to the nations, and he will guide them. Taking away the heart of the heads of the people of the earth, and he will cause them to wander in a waste, not a way. They will feel darkness and not light, and he will cause them to wander as one intoxicated.

His life loathed bread, and his soul food of desire. His flesh will consume away from seeing, and they saw not the nakedness of his bones. And his soul will draw near to the pit, and his life to the dead. If there is a messenger upon him, an interpreter, one from a thousand, to announce to man his uprightness: And he will compassionate him and say, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I found an expiation. His flesh revived above a youth: he shall turn back to the days of his childhood. He shall pray to God and he shall receive him into favor: and he shall see his face with rejoicing, and he will turn back to man his justice. He will look upon men, and he shall say, I sinned, and I perverted the right, and it was not fitting to me; Redeem my soul from passing into the pit, and my life shall look upon light Behold, all these God will work twice, thrice, with man, To turn back his soul from the pit, to enlighten with the light of the living.
