Charles1897 Testament of Moses, supplied ChapterVII
VII. And when this is done the times will be ended, in a moment the (second) course will be (ended), the four hours will come. 2. They will be forced . . . . . . . . 3. And, in the time of these, scornful and impious men will rule, saying that they are just. 4. And these will conceal the wrath of their minds, being treacherous men, self- pleasers, dissemblers in all their own affairs and lovers of banquets at every hour of the day, gluttons, gourmands . . . . 5. . . . 6. Devourers of the goods of the poor saying that they do so on the ground of their justice, but (in reality) to destroy them, complainers, deceitful, concealing themselves lest they should be recognised, impious, filled with lawlessness and iniquity from sunrise to sunset: 8. Saying: “We shall have feastings and luxury, eating and drinking, yea we shall drink our fill, we shall be as princes.” 9. And though their hands and their minds touch unclean things, yet their mouth will speak great things, and they will say furthermore: 10. “Do not touch me lest thou shouldst pollute me in the place where I stand” . . . .
