XXIV.
Where are you going, man of tried righteousness,
for whom all his friends desire?
All your friends desire you,
and wish to have your likeness among them. -
I have gone to build a structure
beyond in the world.
I built, I erected it
and set it up on top of the cloud.
I planted in it plants of life,
true believing men.
I command my builder,
the man who guards the construction.
I command my builder:
Direct your eyes to my plants.
Turn your eyes on my plants,
so that they do not lie dormant
and the good forget what they have been commanded to do.
The man called out to the world,
from one end of the world to the other.
The man called out to the world, saying:
Hail to him who takes care of himself.
A man who takes care of himself has no equal in the world.
The men who stand firm live,
but perish, those who turn away.
Those who turn away perish,
but those who remain firm find steadfastness.
Hold fast to your olive staff
and endure the persecution of the world.
Endure the persecution of the world
With a true, believing heart.
Worship me in uprightness,
that I may stand and be a helper to you,
a helper and a support from the place of darkness
to the place of light.


And life is victorious.
