Or.), "Before I was humbled I went astray," the word is from the soul itself, he says, as though it went astray above in heaven, before being humbled in the body;) and (the saying "Return, O my soul, to your rest," as of one who has acted virtuously here in good work returning to the rest above because of the righteousness of his work.)

7-8: (τὸ γὰρ εἰπεῖν, φησί (scil. ορ.), τὸν προφή-την «πρὶν ἢ ταπεινωθῆναί με ἐγὼ ἐπλημμέλησα», ἐξ αὐτῆς, φησί, τῆς ψυχῆς ὁ λόγος, ὡς ἄνω ἐν οὐρανῷ ἐπλημμέλησε, πρὶν ἢ ἐν τῷ σώματι τεταπεινῶσθαι·) καὶ (τὸ εἰπεῖν «ἐπίστρεψον, ἡ ψυχή μου, εἰς τὴν ἀνάπαυσίν σου», ὡς τοῦ ἀνδραγαθήσαντος ἐνταῦθα ἐν ἀγαθοεργίᾳ ἐπιστρέ- φοντος εἰς τὴν ἄνω ἀνάπαυσιν διὰ τὴν αὐτοῦ τῆς ἐργασίας δικαιο-πραγίαν.)
