1Therefore, my children, I tell you, flee the malice of Beliar; for he giveth a sword to them that obey him.
2And the sword is the mother of seven evils. First the mind conceiveth through Beliar, and first there is bloodshed; secondly ruin; thirdly, tribulation; fourthly, exile; fifthly, dearth; sixthly, panic; seventhly, destruction.
3Therefore was Cain also delivered over to seven vengeances by God, for in every hundred years the Lord brought one plague upon him.
4And when he was two hundred years old he began to suffer, and in the nine-hundredth year he was destroyed. For on account of Abel, his brother, with all the evils was he judged, but Lamech with seventy times seven.
5Because for ever those who are like Cain in envy and hatred of brethren, shall be punished with the same judgment.
