God Finds Him Most Offensive

Solomon and Saturn II, lines 173-174 (tr. Tom Shippey):
It is a miserable and spiritless man who keeps on being gloomy when he is in trouble. God finds him most offensive.

Unlæde bið ond ormod    se ðe a wile
geomrian on gihðe;    se bið Gode fracoðast.
The same, tr. Daniel Anlezark:
He is miserable and despairing, he who always wishes to be sad in grief. He is most offensive to God.
