And Edom and Amalek conspire that the Lord, in whose hand is the judgment of heaven and earth, should not rule over them, treading the house of His sanctuary; for they are peoples that transgress, who do not walk in righteousness.
And there is no fear of the Lord before their eyes, but only fornication and the shedding of blood and the eating of carrion and what is torn and dead, and everything that is like to this, things abominable and defiled.
They have no faith nor faithfulness, for they are haters of good and do not know the Lord; and in place of the way of peace there is oppression and tyranny, and every defiled deed, and tumult and dancing and play, as their father Sablanyos taught them.
For he, together with his demons, made them his servants, and teaches them every evil deed of his own, oppression and tyranny and the plundering of another's goods by iniquity, and theft, and the eating of carrion and what is torn, and fornication;
and everything that is like to this, going in to the wife of another, and the shedding of blood, and the eating of carrion and of what is sacrificed to idols, and the slaying of a human soul by iniquity, and strife and contention and greed, and every evil deed in which the Lord takes no pleasure; and this teaching is brought to them by that enemy of theirs, Sablanyos, to remove them from the way of the Lord who holds all the world.
But this is what the Lord requires: lowliness and meekness, and love for one's neighbour, and reverence for one's brother, and mutual love and peace with all people.
And do not be respecters of the persons of men, nor robbers and oppressors and tyrants, nor adulterers who go in to the wife of another, nor workers of evil and violence against your neighbours, nor deceivers in iniquity who wrong their neighbours.
And they contend and toss their heads and devise evil, and turn aside to seduction, that they may bring men down into the judgment of condemnation that is for ever.
