Chapter 40


1

I answered the king sayings Why dost thou go on in wickedness to worship these dumb idols in which there is no power even to save themselves?

2

Not only this, but thou hast led others to worship them and to enter into that order which is most abominable in the eyes of the Most High God, for your father whence it cometh is the devil and it is full of lies and blasphemies and all manner of evil that men should lie and murder to get gain.

3

Why wilt thou not serve the Most High God who created all things in heaven and on earth, who hath created thee and holdeth the power to sustain thy life or to destroy thee?

4

O foolish, ignorant, wicked king, woe shall be unto thee forever and ever for thou art the son of Perdition for it is he who is thy father.

5

Thou hast corrupted the earth with thy sins and with the sins of thy people who follow thee.

6

It was for entering into this wicked combination to get gain that your ancestors were destroyed in the flood when only eight souls were saved.

7

Wilt thou and thy people follow in their paths?

8

Then the wrath of the Most High God will descend upon thee to smite thee from before his face.

9

Now put away these evil ways and turn unto the Most High God and serve him that there may be hope for thee.

10

But behold, I see that thine heart is hardened in iniquity that there is no repentance for thee, for the evil one hath sealed thee his; wherefore all thy ways shall come to naught and thou and thy people shall be destroyed from off the face of the earth.
