‹ Section 2 Section 4 ›

it

becometh

as

a

soul

to

the

soul

itself

;

and

the

body

of

the

angry

man

it

maketh

its

own

,

and

over

his

soul

it

getteth

the

mastery

,

and

it

bestoweth

upon

the

body

its

own

power

,

that

it

may

work

all

iniquity

;

and

whenever

the

soul

doeth

aught

,

it

justifieth

what

has

been

done

,

since

it

seeth

not

.

Therefore

he

who

is

wrathful

,

if

he

be

a

mighty

man

,

hath

a

treble

might

in

his

anger

;

one

by

the

might

and

aid

of

his

servants

,

and

a

second

by

his

wrath

,

whereby

he

persuadeth

and

overcometh

in

injustice

:

and

having

a

third

of

the

nature

of

his

own

body

,

and

of

his

own

self

working

the

evil

.

And

though

the

wrathful

man

be

weak

,

yet

hath

he

a

might

twofold

of

that

which

is

by

nature

;

for

wrath

ever

aideth

such

in

mischief

.

This

spirit

goeth

always

with

lying

at

the

right

hand

of

Satan

,

that

his

works

may

be

wrought

with

cruelty

and

lying

.
