Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites:
“Who among us shall dwell with the devouring afire?
Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?”
He who despises the gain of oppressions,
Who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes,
Who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,
And bshuts his eyes from seeing evil:
His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks;
Bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.

Where is he who counts the towers?”
