because of the great wickedness of the children of men.

for I considered that mine afflictions were great above all,

because of the destruction of my people,

for I had beheld their fall.

How is it that ye do not keep the commandments of the Lord?

How is it that ye will perish, because of the hardness of your hearts?

And there is a place prepared,

yea, even that awful hell of which I have spoken,

and the devil is the preparator of it;

wherefore the final state of the souls of men

is to dwell in the kingdom of God, or to be cast out

because of that justice of which I have spoken.
