1The Calamity!

2What is the Calamity?

3Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!

4A day wherein mankind will be as thickly-scattered moths

5And the mountains will become as carded wool.

6Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),

7He will live a pleasant life.

8But as for him whose scales are light,

9A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,

10Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -

11Raging Fire.
