104: The Traducer, the Gossipmonger

1

Woe to every (kind of) scandal-monger and-backbiter,

2

Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,

3

Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!

4

By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,

5

And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?

6

(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) God kindled (to a blaze),

7

The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:

8

It shall be made into a vault over them,

9

In columns outstretched.
