VI. God saith to him: Be it known unto thee that

‹ Section 5 Section 7 ›

I

ordered

all

things

to

be

placable

to

him

:

I

gave

him

understanding

and

made

him

the

heir

of

heaven

and

earth

,

and

I

subjected

all

things

to

him

,

and

every

living

thing

flees

from

him

and

from

before

his

face

:

but

he

,

having

received

of

mine

,

became

alien

,

adulterous

,

and

sinful

:

tell

me

,

what

father

,

having

given

his

son

his

portion

,

when

he

takes

his

substance

and

leaves

his

father

and

goes

away

and

becomes

an

alien

and

serves

an

alien

,

when

the

father

sees

that

the

son

has

deserted

him

,

does

not

darken

his

heart

,

and

does

not

the

father

go

and

take

his

substance

and

banish

him

from

his

glory

because

he

deserted

his

father

?

And

how

have

I

,

the

wonderful

and

jealous

God

,

given

him

everything

,

and

he

having

received

these

things

has

become

an

adulterer

and

a

sinner

?
