XLVII.

At last the assembly is dissolved, the spectacle of this

‹ Section 46 Section 48 ›

life

ceaseth

:

its

deceit

and

its

semblance

are

passed

away

.

Cleave

to

me

,

to

whom

every

knee

boweth

,

of

things

in

heaven

,

and

things

on

earth

,

and

things

under

the

earth

.

For

all

who

have

been

negligent

,

and

have

not

shown

pity

in

well

-

doing

there

,

have

nothing

else

due

them

than

the

unquenchable

fire

.

For

I

am

the

friend

of

man

,

but

yet

also

a

righteous

Judge

to

all

.

For

I

shall

award

the

recompense

according

to

desert

;

I

shall

give

the

reward

to

all

,

according

to

each

man’s

labour

;

I

shall

make

return

to

all

,

according

to

each

man’s

conflict

.

I

wish

to

have

pity

,

but

I

see

no

oil

in

your

vessels

.

I

desire

to

have

mercy

,

but

ye

have

passed

through

life

entirely

without

mercy

.

I

long

to

have

compassion

,

but

your

lamps

are

dark

by

reason

of

your

hardness

of

heart

.

Depart

from

me

.

For

judgment

is

without

mercy

to

him

that

hath

showed

no

mercy

.
