53 The day is approaching when God will have raised up a people who will call to remembrance Our days, who will tell the tale of Our trials, who will demand the restitution of Our rights from them that, without a tittle of evidence, have treated Us with manifest injustice.  God, assuredly, dominateth the lives of them that wronged Us, and is well aware of their doings.  He will, most certainly, lay hold on them for their sins.  He, verily, is the fiercest of avengers.

54 Thus have We recounted unto you the tales of the one true God, and sent down unto you the things He had preordained, that haply ye may ask forgiveness of Him, may return unto Him, may truly repent, may realize your misdeeds, may shake off your slumber, may be roused from your heedlessness, may atone for the things that have escaped you, and be of them that do good.  Let him who will, acknowledge the truth of My words; and as to him that willeth not, let him turn aside.  My sole duty is to remind you of your failure in duty towards the Cause of God, if perchance ye may be of them that heed My warning.  Wherefore, hearken ye unto My speech, and return ye to God and repent, that He, through His grace, may have mercy upon you, may wash away your sins, and forgive your trespasses.  The greatness of His mercy surpasseth the fury of His wrath, and His grace encompasseth all who have been called into being and been clothed with the robe of life, be they of the past or of the future.

55 O concourse of Ministers of State!  Do ye believe in your hearts that We have come to divest you of your earthly possessions and vanities?  Nay, by the One in Whose hand is My soul!  Our intention hath been to make clear that We oppose not the commands of the sovereign, nor are We to be numbered with the rebellious.  Know ye of a certainty that all the treasures of the earth, all the gold, the silver, and the rare and precious gems they contain, are, in the sight of God, of His chosen ones and His loved ones, as worthless as a handful of clay.  For erelong all that is on earth shall perish, and the kingdom will remain unto God, the All-Powerful, the Incomparable.  That which perisheth can never profit Us, nor can it profit you, were ye but to reflect.

56 By the righteousness of God!  I speak not falsely, and utter naught save that which God hath bidden Me.  To this bear witness the very words of this Tablet, if ye but reflect upon its contents.  Follow not the promptings of your own desires, nor the whisperings of the Evil One in your souls.  Follow rather the Cause of God, both in your outward and your inner lives, and be not of the heedless.  Better is this for you than all that ye have laid up in your houses, and all that ye have sought by day and night.
