Admonition Based on the Flood

Admonition Based on the Flood

[A wisdom warning that recalls the generation of the flood; preserved in fragments.]

He crowned the mountains with produce, and poured out food upon them; with good fruit he satisfied every living thing. Yet they did not remember his commandment, and they did the evil thing in his sight, and did not listen. [Text missing]

So the LORD judged them in all their ways, and according to the thoughts of the inclination of their evil heart; and he thundered against them in his power, and all the foundations of the earth shook. The waters of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of heaven were opened, and the flood came upon all the earth; and all that was upon the dry land perished. [Line damaged]

But the LORD made his covenant with Noah, that never again would the waters of a flood destroy all flesh; he set his bow in the cloud as a sign of the covenant between him and the earth. Therefore turn, you who forget God, lest you perish in the day of his anger; for the LORD is righteous in all his ways, and faithful to those who keep his covenant. [Text missing]
