11. And in the same way likewise are sinners separated when they die,
and are buried in the earth; judgment not overtaking them in their
lifetime.
12. Here their souls are separated. Moreover, abundant is their
suffering until the time of the great judgment, the castigation, and the
torment of those who eternally execrate, whose souls are punished and
bound there for ever.
13. And thus has it been from the beginning of the world. Thus has there
existed a separation between the souls of those who utter complaints,
and of those who watch for their destruction, to slaughter them in the
day of sinners.
14. A receptacle of this sort has been formed[69] for the souls of
unrighteous men, and of sinners; of those who have completed crime, and
associated with the impious, whom they resemble. Their souls shall not
be annihilated in the day of judgment, neither shall they arise from
this place. Then I blessed God,
15. And said, Blessed be my Lord, the Lord of glory and of
righteousness, who reigns over all for ever and for ever.
