Then the people of the right hand3-Oh! how happy shall be the people of the right hand!
And the people of the left hand-Oh! how wretched shall be the people of the left hand!
And they who were foremost on earth-the foremost still.4
These are they who shall be brought nigh to God,
In gardens of delight;
A crowd of the former
And few of the latter generations;
On inwrought couches
Reclining on them face to face:
Aye-blooming youths go round about to them
