¹And I answered and said: 'How can we forget those for whom woe is then reserved?

²And why therefore do we again mourn for those who die? Or why do we weep for those who depart to Sheol?

³Let lamentations be reserved for the beginning of that coming torment, And let tears be laid up for the advent of the destruction of that time. 4 [But even in the face of these things will I speak.

⁴And as for the righteous, what will they do now?

⁵Rejoice you in the suffering which you now suffer: For why dost thou look for the decline of thy enemies?

⁶Make ready thy soul for that which is reserved for thee, And prepare thy souls for the reward which is laid up for thee.'] 53. The Vision of the Cloud with black and white Waters
