7 1Behold, therefore, as ye see, I am a hundred and twenty-six years old and am not conscious of committing any sin. 2Except my wife I have not known any woman. I never committed fornication by the uplifting of my eyes. 3I drank not wine, to be led astray thereby; I coveted not any desirable thing that was my neighbour's. 4Guile arose not in my heart; A lie passed not through my lips. 5If any man were in distress I joined my sighs with his, And I shared my bread with the poor. I wrought godliness, all my days I kept truth I loved the Lord; 6Likewise also every man with all my heart. So do you also these things, my children, 7And every spirit of Beliar shall flee from you, And no deed of wicked men shall rule over you; And every wild beast shall ye subdue, Since you have with you the God of heaven and earth (And) walk with men in singleness of heart. 8And having said these things, he commanded his sons that they should carry him up to Hebron, and bury him there in the cave with his fathers. 9And he stretched out his feet and died, at a good old age; with every limb sound, and with strength unabated, he slept the eternal sleep.
