Day of wrath, that day
Will dissolve the earth in ashes
As David and the Sibyl bear witness.

When all creation rises again
To answer to the Judge.

In which is contained everything that is,
Out of which the world shall be judged.

Whatever is hidden will reveal itself.
Nothing will remain unavenged.

What advocate entreat to speak for me,
When even the righteous may hardly be secure?
