1This is the word that He-Who-Is-Will-Rise the prophet spoke to Blessed son of Lamp-of-He-Who-Is when he wrote these words on a scroll at the dictation of He-Who-Is-Will-Rise in the fourth year of He-Who-Is-Raises-Up son of He-Who-Is-Establishes, king of Praised:

2“This is what He-Who-Is, the God of Strives-with-God, says to you, Blessed:

3You have said, ‘Woe is me because He-Who-Is has added sorrow to my pain! I am worn out with groaning and have found no rest.’”

4Thus He-Who-Is-Will-Rise was to say to Blessed: “This is what He-Who-Is says: Throughout the land I will demolish what I have built and uproot what I have planted.

5But as for you, do you seek great things for yourself? Stop seeking! For I will bring disaster on every living creature, declares He-Who-Is, but wherever you go, I will grant your life as a spoil of war.”
