[1] Πάντων οὖν βλεπομένων καὶ ἀκουομένων, φοβηθῶμεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀπολίπωμεν φαύλων ἔργων μιαρὰς ἐπιθυμίας, ἵνα τῷ ἐλέει αὐτοῦσκεπασθῶμεν ἀπὸ τῶν μελλόντων κριμάτων.

[2] ποῦ γάρ τις ἡμῶν δύναται φυγεῖν ἀπὸ τῆς κραταιᾶς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ; ποῖος δὲ κόσμος δέξεταί τινα τῶν αὐτομολούντων ¹ ἀπ̓ αὐτοῦ;

[3] λέγει γάρ που τὸ γραφεῖον: Ποῦ ἀφήξω καὶ ποῦ κρυβήσομαι ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου; ἐὰν ἀναβῶ εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, σὺ ἐκεῖ εἶ: ἐὰν ἀπέλθω εἰς τὰ ἔσχατα τῆς γῆς. ἐκεῖ ἡ δεξιά σου: ἐὰν καταστρώσω εἰς τὰς ἀβύσσους, ἐκεῖ τὸ πνεῦμά σου.

[4] ποῖ οὖν τις ἀπέλθῃ ἢ ποῦ ἀποδράσῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ τὰ πάντα ἐμπεριέχοντος;

[1] Since then all things are seen and heard by¹ him, let us fear him, and leave off from foul desires of evil deeds, that we may be sheltered by his mercy from the judgments to come.

[2] For whither can any of us fly from his mighty hand? And what world shall receive those who seek to desert from him?

[3] For the Writing² says in one place: Where shall I go and where shall I hide from thy presence? If I ascend into heaven thou art there, if I depart to the ends of the earth there is thy right hand; If I make my bed in the abyss there is thy spirit.

[4] Whither then shall a man depart or where shall he escape from him who embraces all things?
