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.
