8
To all creatures, human and animal, but to sinners seven times more,
9
come death and bloodshed and strife and sword, calamities and famine and ruin and plague.
10
All these were created for the wicked, and on their account the flood came.
11
All that is of earth returns to earth, and what is from above returns above.
12
All bribery and injustice will be blotted out, but good faith will last forever.
