“63:  O ye peoples of the world!  Know, verily, that an unforeseen calamity followeth...”

O ye peoples of the world!  Know, verily, that an unforeseen calamity followeth you, and grievous retribution awaiteth you.  Think not that which ye have committed hath been effaced in My sight.  By My beauty!  All your doings hath My pen graven with open characters upon tablets of chrysolite.

“64:  O oppressors on earth!  Withdraw your hands from tyranny, for I have...”

O oppressors on earth!  Withdraw your hands from tyranny, for I have pledged Myself not to forgive any man’s injustice.  This is My covenant which I have irrevocably decreed in the preserved tablet and sealed with My seal.

“65:  O rebellious ones!  My forbearance hath emboldened you and My...”

O rebellious ones!  My forbearance hath emboldened you and My long-suffering hath made you negligent, in such wise that ye have spurred on the fiery charger of passion into perilous ways that lead unto destruction.  Have ye thought Me heedless or that I was unaware?

“66:  O emigrants!  The tongue I have designed for the mention of...”

O emigrants!  The tongue I have designed for the mention of Me, defile it not with detraction.  If the fire of self overcome you, remember your own faults and not the faults of My creatures, inasmuch as every one of you knoweth his own self better than he knoweth others.

“67:  O children of fancy!  Know, verily, that while the radiant dawn breaketh...”

O children of fancy!  Know, verily, that while the radiant dawn breaketh above the horizon of eternal holiness, the satanic secrets and deeds done in the gloom of night shall be laid bare and manifest before the peoples of the world.

“68:  O Weed that SPRINGETH out of dust!  Wherefore have not these soiled hands of thine...”

O Weed that SPRINGETH out of dust!  Wherefore have not these soiled hands of thine touched first thine own garment, and why with thine heart defiled with desire and passion dost thou seek to commune with Me and to enter My sacred realm?  Far, far are ye from that which ye desire.

“69:  O children of Adam!  Holy words and pure and goodly deeds ascend...”

O children of Adam!  Holy words and pure and goodly deeds ascend unto the heaven of celestial glory.  Strive that your deeds may be cleansed from the dust of self and hypocrisy and find favor at the court of glory; for ere long the assayers of mankind shall, in the holy presence of the Adored One, accept naught but absolute virtue and deeds of stainless purity.  This is the daystar of wisdom and of divine mystery that hath shone above the horizon of the divine will.  Blessed are they that turn thereunto.
