English Scholarly Translation
I do now know you as one who has spoliated his soul through impious actions, feigning religion while in truth an irreligious person, resorting to all vicious deeds, like to a well crusted with grass, unrighteous while passing under the clock of honesty and religion like to a hidden fire.
