Οὐαὶ οἱ ἰσχύοντες ὑμῶν, οἱ τὸν οἶνον πίνοντες, καὶ οἱ δυνάσται, καὶ οἱ κιρνῶντες τὸ σίκερα, οἱ δικαιοῦντες τὸν ἀσεβῆ ἕνεκεν δώρων, καὶ τὸ δίκαιον τοῦ δικαίου αἴροντες. Διὰ τοῦτο, ὃν τρόπον καυθήσεται καλάμη ὑπὸ ἄνθρακος πυρὸς καὶ συγκαυθήσεται ὑπὸ φλογὸς καιομένης, ἡ ῥίζα ὡς χνοῦς ἔσται καὶ τὸ ἄνθος αὐτῶν ὡς κονιορτὸς ἀναβήσεται· οὐ γὰρ ἠθέλησαν τὸν νόμον κυρίου σαβαώθ, ἀλλὰ τὸ λόγιον κυρίου τοῦ ἁγίου Ἰσραὴλ παρώξυναν. Καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ κύριος σαβαώθ, καὶ ἐπέβαλε τὰς χεῖρας ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς καὶ παρωξύνθη ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη, καὶ ἐγενήθη τὰ θνησιμαῖα αὐτῶν ἐν μέσῳ ὡς κοπρία ὁδοῦ· καὶ ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις οὐκ ἀπεστράφησαν, ἀλλ᾿ ἔτι ἡ χεὶρ αὐτῶν ὑψηλή [IS., V, 18-25].
