(4) And our name shall be forgotten in time, and no man shall have our works in remembrance, and our life shall pass away as the trace of a cloud, and shall be dispersed as a mist, that is driven away with the beams of the sun, and overcome with the heat thereof.	(4) καὶ τὸ ὄνοµα ἡµῶν ἐπιλησθήσεται ἐν χρόνῳ, καὶ οὐθεὶς µνηµονεύσει τῶν ἔργων ἡµῶν· καὶ παρελεύσεται ὁ βίος ἡµῶν ὡς ἴχνη νεφέλης καὶ ὡς ὁµίχλη διασκεδασθήσεται διωχθεῖσα ὑπὸ ἀκτίνων ἡλίου καὶ ὑπὸ θερµότητος αὐτοῦ βαρυνθεῖσα.

(9) Let none of us go without his part of our voluptuousness: let us leave tokens of our joyfulness in every place: for this is our portion, and our lot is this.	(9) µηδεὶς ἡµῶν ἄµοιρος ἔστω τῆς ἡµετέρας ἀγερωχίας, πανταχῇ καταλίπωµεν σύµβολα τῆς εὐφροσύνης, ὅτι αὕτη ἡ µερὶς ἡµῶν καὶ ὁ κλῆρος οὗτος.

(10) Let us oppress the poor righteous man, let us not spare the widow, nor reverence the ancient gray hairs of the aged.

(12) Therefore let us lie in wait for the righteous; because he is not for our turn, and he is clean contrary to our doings: he upbraideth us with our offending the law, and objecteth to our infamy the transgressings of our education.

(13) He professeth to have the knowledge of God: and he calleth himself the child of the Lord.	(13) ἐπαγγέλλεται γνῶσιν ἔχειν θεοῦ καὶ παῖδα κυρίου ἑαυτὸν ὀνοµάζει·

(15) He is grievous unto us even to behold: for his life is not like other men’s, his ways are of another fashion.

(16) We are esteemed of him as counterfeits: he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness: he pronounceth the end of the just to be blessed, and maketh his boast that God is his father.

(18) For if the just man be the son of God, he will help him, and deliver him from the hand of his enemies.
