Chapter 79. [Corrupt judge.]

1. Then I saw the soul of a man, (2) both whose eyes were scooped out, and his tongue cut away; (3) and he remained suspended, in hell, by one leg; (4) his body also was ever raked with the two brazen prongs of a fork; (5) and an iron spike was driven into his head [or heart]. 6. And I asked thus: 'What man is this? and what sin was committed by him?' 7. Srosh the pious, and Adar the angel, said (8) thus: 'This is the soul of that wicked man whose justice, in the world, was false; (9) and he took bribes, and made false decisions.'
