Section 7

About this work

Author: Unknown

7. I am a hundred and twenty-two years

old

,

and

I

know

not

against

myself

a

sin

unto

death

.

Except

my

wife

,

I

have

not

known

any

woman

.

I

never

committed

fornication

in

the

haughtiness

of

my

eyes

;

I

drank

not

wine

,

to

be

led

astray

thereby

;

I

coveted

not

any

desirable

thing

that

was

my

neighbour’s

;

guile

never

entered

in

my

heart

;

a

lie

never

passed

through

my

lips

;

if

any

man

grieved

,

I

wept

with

him

,

and

I

shared

my

bread

with

the

poor

.

I

never

ate

alone

;

I

moved

no

landmark

;

in

all

my

days

I

wrought

godliness

and

truth

.

I

loved

the

Lord

with

all

my

strength

;

likewise

also

did

I

love

every

man

even

as

my

own

children

.

So

ye

also

do

these

things

,

my

children

,

and

every

spirit

of

Beliar

shall

flee

from

you

,

and

no

deed

of

malicious

men

shall

rule

over

you

;

and

every

wild

beast

shall

ye

subdue

,

having

with

yourselves

the

God

of

heaven

walking

with

men

in

simplicity

of

heart

.
