1.  *     The Calamity!
 
2.  *     What is the Calamity?
 
3.  *     Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!
 
4.  *     A day wherein mankind will be as thickly-scattered moths
 
5.  *     And the mountains will become as carded wool.
 
6.  *     Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),
 
7.  *     He will live a pleasant life.
 
8.  *     But as for him whose scales are light,
 
9.  *     A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,
 
10.  *     Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -
 
11.  *     Raging Fire.
