Odes of Solomon

tr. Harris, 1911

Chapter 33

¹Again Grace ran and forsook corruption, and came down in Him to bring it to nought; ²and He destroyed perdition from before Him, and devastated all its order; ³and He stood on a lofty summit¹ and uttered His voice from one end of the earth to the other: ⁴and drew to Him all those who obeyed Him; and there did not appear as it were an evil person, ⁵but there stood a perfect virgin² who was proclaiming and calling and saying, ⁶O ye sons of men³, return ye, and ye daughters of men, come ye: ⁷and forsake the ways of that corruption and draw near unto me, and I will enter into you, and will bring you forth from perdition, ⁸and make you wise in the ways of truth: that you be not destroyed nor perish: ⁹hear ye me and be redeemed. For the grace of God I am telling among you: and by my means you shall be redeemed and become blessed. ¹⁰I am your judge; and they who have put me on shall not be injured: but they shall possess the new world that is incorrupt: ¹¹my chosen ones walk in me, and my ways I will make known to them that seek me, and I will make them trust in my name. Hallelujah.
