I have put every man’s work in writing and none born on earth can remain hidden nor his works remain concealed.

2I see all things.

3Now therefore, my children, in patience and meekness spend the number of your days, that you inherit endless life.

4Endure for the sake of the Lord every wound, every injury, every evil word and attack.

5If ill-requitals befall you, return (them) not either to neighbour or enemy, because the Lord will return (them) for you and be your avenger on the day of great judgment, that there be no avenging here among men.

6Whoever of you spends gold or silver for his brother’s sake, he will receive ample treasure in the world to come.

7Injure not widows nor orphans nor strangers, lest God’s wrath come upon you.
