Chapter XX.—The way of darkness.
But the way of
darkness1713
| 1713 Literally,
“of the Black One.” | is crooked, and full of
cursing; for it is the way of eternal1714
death with punishment, in which way
are the things that destroy the soul, viz., idolatry, over-confidence,
the arrogance of power, hypocrisy, double-heartedness, adultery, murder,
rapine, haughtiness, transgression,1715
deceit, malice, self-sufficiency, poisoning, magic, avarice,1716
| 1716 Cod. Sin. omits “magic,
avarice.” | want of the fear of God. [In this way, too,]
are those who persecute the good, those who hate truth, those who love
falsehood, those who know not the reward of righteousness, those who
cleave not to that which is good, those who attend not with just judgment
to the widow and orphan, those who watch not to the fear of God, [but
incline] to wickedness, from whom meekness and patience are far off;
persons who love vanity, follow after a reward, pity not the needy,
labour not in aid of him who is overcome with toil; who are prone to
evil-speaking, who know not Him that made them, who are murderers of
children, destroyers of the workmanship of God; who turn away him that is
in want, who oppress the afflicted, who are advocates of the rich, who
are unjust judges of the poor, and who are in every respect
transgressors.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
