Ode XXXIII
A perfect virgin stood, who was proclaiming and calling and saying: Sons of men, turn back.
1.
Grace ran again and abandoned corruption,
and she descended into it to make it empty.
2.
And he destroyed destruction from before him,
and corrupted all its structure.
3.
And he stood upon a high summit and sent his voice
from the ends of the earth and to its ends.
4.
And he drew to himself all who obeyed him,
and he did not appear as evil.
5.
But a perfect virgin stood,
who was proclaiming and calling and saying:
6.
"Sons of men, turn back,
and you their daughters, come.
7.
And leave the ways of that corruption,
and draw near to me.
8.
And I will enter into you and bring you out from destruction,
and I will make you wise in the ways of truth.
9.
Do not be corrupted,
nor perish.
10.
Hear me and be saved,
for the grace of God I am speaking among you.
11.
And by my hands you shall be saved and shall be blessed.
I am your judge.
12.
And those who put me on shall not be wronged,
but they shall possess the new world incorruptible.
13.
My chosen ones, walk in me,
and my ways I will make known to those who seek me,
and I will make them trust in my name."
Hallelujah.
