1.  *     Woe unto every backbiter, slanderer,
 
2.  *     who has gathered riches and counted them over
 
3.  *     thinking his riches have made him immortal!
 
4.  *     No indeed; he shall be thrust into the Crusher;
 
5.  *     and what shall teach thee what is the Crusher;
 
6.  *     The Fire of God kindled
 
7.  *     roaring over the hearts
 
8.  *     covered down upon them,
 
9.  *     in columns outstretched.
