For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no

‹ Section 45 Section 47 ›

meat

:

I

was

thirsty

,

and

ye

gave

me

no

drink

;

I

was

a

stranger

,

and

ye

took

me

not

in

;

naked

,

and

ye

clothed

me

not

;

sick

,

and

ye

visited

me

not

:

I

was

in

prison

,

and

ye

came

not

unto

me

.

I

made

your

ears

that

ye

might

hear

the

Scriptures

;

and

ye

prepared

them

for

the

songs

of

demons

,

and

lyres

,

and

jesting

.

I

made

your

eyes

that

you

might

see

the

light

of

my

commandments

,

and

keep

them

;

and

ye

called

in

fornication

and

wantonness

,

and

opened

them

to

all

other

manner

of

uncleanness

.

I

prepared

your

mouth

for

the

utterance

of

adoration

,

and

praise

,

and

psalms

,

and

spiritual

odes

,

and

for

the

exercise

of

continuous

reading

;

and

ye

fitted

it

to

railing

,

and

swearing

,

and

blasphemies

,

while

ye

sat

and

spoke

evil

of

your

neighbours

.

I

made

your

hands

that

ye

might

stretch

them

forth

in

prayers

and

supplications

,

and

ye

put

them

forth

to

robberies

,

and

murders

,

and

the

killing

of

each

other

.

I

ordained

your

feet

to

walk

in

the

preparation

of

the

Gospel

of

peace

,

both

in

the

churches

and

the

houses

of

my

saints

;

and

ye

taught

them

to

run

to

adulteries

,

and

fornications

,

and

theatres

,

and

dancings

,

and

elevations

.
