¹And the black seventh waters which thou hast seen, this is the perversion (brought about) by the counsel of Jeroboam, who took counsel to make two calves of gold:

²And all the iniquities which kings who were after him iniquitously wrought.

³And the curse of Jezebel and the worship of idols which Israel practiced at that time.

⁴And the withholding of rain, and the famines which occurred till women eat the fruit of their wombs.

⁵And the time of their captivity which came upon the nine tribes and a half, for they were in many sins.

⁶And Shalmanezzar king of Assyria came and led them away captive.

⁷But regarding the Gentiles it were tedious to tell how they always wrought impiety and wickedness, and never wrought righteousness.

⁸These are the black seventh waters which thou hast seen.
