274 All the world shall be against the sinner<br />

for having offended their Creator.<br />

The miserable sinner shall be struck dumb.<br />

All araund is every way out closed to him.<br />

278 The Lord judge shall be indignant from on high.<br />

Frorn below shall hell be ready to swallow him up.<br />

On his left shall the wicked devil be accusing,<br />

on his right shall his sins be praclaiming:<br />

«Here we are, acting against thee, created by thee».<br />

The gravest shall be frorn within the conscience itself.<br />

284 There will be no place at all to hide.<br />

Who would dare come forward at such a time?<br />

Everyone shall be set against him,<br />

even all the saints shall remain silent at that point;<br />

Nor shall the judge hear any plea.<br />

Let us bear this in mind before going there.<br />

290 Where will this world's lordly kings be?<br />

The dukes, earls, marquesses, and other nobles,<br />

and the feats of the mighty men in their army?<br />

At that time shall their might be of little use.<br />

294 Jurists and theologians, poets and doctors,<br />

attorneys, lawyers, judges and notaries.<br />

Then shall their ignoble acts be revealed,<br />

And their judiciousness and prattle will be of little use.<br />

298 Popes, cardinals, priests, and prelates,<br />

will have to bear full account of themselves and their flock.<br />

On that day shall the greatest be damned,<br />

and the great and small shall be judged alike.<br />

302 It will be useless to appeal against Him.<br />

For He recognizes no lord aboye Him.<br />

He abhors evil and loves truth.<br />

Alas, 1 pray, let us all do penitence<br />

to avoid such a great plight on that day.<br />

307 Warnings shall sound mournfully beforehand;<br />

the elements shall be in upheaval,<br />

the sun and moon turned to blood,<br />

the sea heaving up and down.<br />

The fish therein shall jump out of fear.<br />
