“For the company of the godless is barren,And fire consumes the tents of bribery (wrong and injustice).

“Indeed, the light of the wicked will be put out,And the flame of his fire will not shine.

Complete darkness (misfortune) is held in reserve for his treasures.An unfanned fire will devour him;It will consume the survivor in his tent.

‘Surely our adversaries are cut off and destroyed,And fire has consumed their abundance.’

“[As for] the earth, out of it comes food,But underneath [its surface, down deep] it is turned over as fire.

“For it is a fire which consumes to Abaddon (destruction, ruin, final torment);And [illicit passion] would burn and rage and uproot all my [life’s] increase [destroying everything].

“Out of his mouth go burning torches,And sparks of fire leap out.

“Out of his nostrils smoke goes forthAs from a boiling pot and [as from] burning rushes.
